Economic Resilience in Brazil: A Sectoral and Systemic Perspective
Authors: Perobelli Fernando , Arcanjo Gabriel Marcos , Vale Vinicius de Almeida
Published: December 2024

This paper aims to analyze the resilience of the Brazilian economy from a systemic perspective, considering its sectoral composition and interconnections during the recessionary period of 2014 and 2015. To achieve this, it proposes the use of input-output methodology to construct a sectoral typology based on indicators of production, employment, and income. This approach provides a broader and more detailed understanding of the implications of sectoral dynamics for economic resilience. This work contributes to the literature by creating a kaleidoscopic view of Brazilian economic resilience, exploring its sectoral dynamics. The proposed indicators, grounded in conceptual and empirical literature on resilience, play a crucial role in characterizing the sectors' linkage power, allowing for references to stages involving resilience such as recovery and structural reorientation. The results indicate that sectors with lower resilience capacity have a higher share of value added, a common pattern in developing economies like Brazil. Furthermore, the decomposition of linkage power reveals that sectors located in the lower quartile of the typology exhibit lower intersectoral linkage capacity compared to those above the average distribution. This configuration highlights that, regardless of the context analyzed, whether in periods of crisis or economic stability, a production structure predominantly composed of trade and services sectors plays a central role in economic resilience. However, the effectiveness of these sectors in promoting both recovery and structural reorientation in terms of production, employment, and income partly reflects the fragility of Brazilian economic resilience.
Climate systems behind the observed singularities of the very intense tropical cyclone FREDDY
Authors: Ussalu Jone Lucas Medja , Manjate Guelso Mauro Armando
Published: December 2024

The very Intense Tropical Cyclone (ITC) FREDDY has broken many records in the climatology of Tropical Cyclones in Mozambique in recent years. It has been unique regarding the lifetime, the travelled distance, the trajectory and the number of landfalls. This research aims to examine the atmospheric conditions or systems behind all observed singularities. Data from the fifth generation of atmospheric reanalysis (ERA5) provided by the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) were used to achieve this purpose. We have used hourly data of different climate variables, such as, sea surface temperatures (SSTs), mean sea level pressure (SLP), wind, and relative humidity, to identify and characterize different climate systems, synchronized with the manifestation of FREDDY. In general, results indicate that FREDDY’s lifetime was influenced by the combination of two factors, the warm waters from the Southwestern Indian Ocean (SWIO), whose SSTs varied from 27 oC to 32 oC, and the southern subtropical High Pressure Systems (HPS), enhancing moisture to the cyclone in the continent through its confluent winds at low levels. On the other hand, the Subtropical Jet Streams (SJS) had contributed to its singular trajectory, leading to multiple landfalls. The upper Trough and upper Ridge associated with the SJS, positioned respectively over the Austral Africa and southern Madagascar, had determined the back-and-forth movement of FREDDY through the Mozambique Channel, hitting both countries, Mozambique and Madagascar. These findings provide important clues that may help the cyclone monitoring at national and regional levels, and anticipate necessary actions to minimize its negative impacts.

Published: December 2024

Information Systems (IS) is an integral part of all disciplines for effective and seamless operations. This research paper shows the applications of IS based models in education and accreditation. Assessment of Program Learning Outcomes (PLO) is one of the methods to demonstrate the quality in higher education (H.E.) and key factor for successful accreditation from specific organizations. PLO is calculated by measuring the course learning outcomes (CLO) for all the modules in the program. Each CLO identifies key performance indicators (KPIs) for different assessments and measures through the students’ performances. We have developed an IS based model that works on excel program to calculate the PLO automatically just by including the values of a student's score in a specific assessment. This model facilitated the teachers and quality units in the measure of PLO accurately while creating data visualizations and presenting charts for the outcomes. The application is applied in one of the business modules in the University of Gulf to show the working model in the assessment of PLO. The IS-based model for assessing Program Learning Outcomes (PLO) at the University of Gulf automated the calculation process using Excel, ensuring accurate and efficient measurement of student performance. It enhanced data visualization with charts and graphs, facilitating clear presentation and analysis. Applied to a business module, the model demonstrated practical utility and supported accreditation efforts by providing reliable PLO assessments.

Authors: Li Tian , Li Jingyi , Li Ming , Wang Zhijun
Published: December 2024

Over the period 1990-2021, this study analyzes the global distribution and changes in the burden of ischemic heart disease due to air pollution. According to global disease burden data from 204 countries and regions between 1990 and 2021, this study analyzes ischemic heart disease (IHD) deaths and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) related to air pollution. The global burden of IHD attributable to air pollution has generally decreased over the past 30 years, with estimated annual percentage changes of -1.37 (-1.46, -1.28) for age-standardized mortality rates and -1.31 (-1.4, -1.22) for age-standardized DALYs. In higher-earning countries, burden levels are declining, while in North Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, and East Asia, burden levels are increasing. In terms of age-standardized DALYs rates（ASDRs）, men have a higher burden than women, with those aged 50-75 experiencing the greatest burden. There is a nonlinear, inverted V-shaped relationship between sociodemographic index and ASDRs for IHD.The global burden, as well as the burden in the five SDI regions, is projected to continue declining over the next decade.As a result of air pollution, many countries and regions have experienced a decrease in the burden of IHD in the past 30 years.However, in some low-income nations, particularly among men and populations between middle age and old age, the burden remains severe.Focusing on targeted populations is crucial to mitigate the burden of IHD, particularly in areas where mortality and disease burden are increasing.

Published: December 2024

Objective:
This study aims to deepen the understanding and classification of tinnitus through a comprehensive analysis of EEG signals utilizing innovative microstate analysis techniques and cutting-edge machine learning approaches.
Methods:
EEG data were meticulously collected from 16 healthy individuals and 20 tinnitus patients, segmented into five frequency sub-bands (delta, theta, alpha, beta, gamma) and categorized into four distinct microstate configurations (4-state, 5-state, 6-state, 7-state). Advanced feature extraction techniques were employed to analyze microstate duration, occurrence, coverage, global field power (GFP), and transition probabilities. A diverse array of classifiers was utilized, including traditional models (SVM, DT, RF), deep learning models (DNN, CNN), and pre-trained architectures (VGG16, ResNet50, Xception). Notably, a novel feature-to-image transformation method was integrated to enhance the interpretability of the microstate data.
Results:
The DNN classifier achieved the highest accuracy of 97.49% in the beta sub-band, employing a 5-state configuration alongside GFP_TC features. Tinnitus patients demonstrated increased activation in the alpha frequency band and exhibited more dispersed microstate distributions, indicating significant alterations in neural dynamics. Additionally, a detailed numerical analysis of transition matrices revealed reduced self-transition probabilities and heightened transitions between states in tinnitus patients, exemplified by a drop from 0.88 to 0.72 in the Delta band for state A. Furthermore, the SVM classifier, when paired with ResNet50 and Xception, reached perfect performance metrics, achieving accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and ROC AUC all equal to 1 across all microstates.
Conclusion:
The findings suggest that microstate analysis, when integrated with advanced machine learning methodologies, serves as a powerful tool for enhancing the diagnosis and comprehension of tinnitus. The high classification accuracies, coupled with detailed microstate assessments, reveal significant neural dynamics differences between tinnitus patients and healthy controls, offering promising implications for clinical diagnosis and treatment strategies.

Published: December 2024

A multi-physics coupled numerical model for the hybrid tungsten inert gas (TIG)-metal inert gas (MIG) arc (HTM arc) was established to investigate the arc behaviors in a simplified case without considering the droplet. The distribution of current density, temperature, electromagnetic force, velocity and pressure were analyzed in detail. The results indicated that a direct current path was established between the welding wire and the tungsten electrode, resulting in the merging of the original MIG and TIG arcs, which coupled to form the hybrid HTM arc. The electromagnetic repulsion force generated by the reverse current caused the original arcs to deflect along the welding direction, and the shape of the HTM arc was bimodal distribution. Compared with traditional single arc, the thermal influence range of the HTM arc on the workpiece surface expanded both along and perpendicular to the welding direction, reducing the temperature gradient and the cooling rate of molten metal behind the arc, which was beneficial to filling the weld toe. As the TIG current increased, the potential difference between the welding wire and tungsten electrode increased, which led to an augmentation in the current flux between them. This, in turn, diminished the electromagnetic force, thereby reducing the plasma velocity and weakening the arc pressure acting on the molten pool. The above thermal-pressure characteristics of HTM arc were beneficial to suppressing the occurrence of undercut and humping defects in high-speed welding, achieving high-quality and high-efficiency welding.

Authors: Shi Huanhuan , Tung Tao-Hsin , Yu Jia-Meng , Yang Yu-Pei , Wu Wei-Dan
Published: December 2024

Background
Nurses face one of the highest risks of workplace psychological violence. However, limited research has explored the correlation between psychological workplace bullying and turnover intentions. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of workplace psychological violence and its relationship with clinical nurses’ turnover intentions.
Methods
We conducted a cross-sectional study of 1047 clinical nurses at Taizhou Hospital in Zhejiang Province, China, from September 16 to 30, 2024. Our questionnaires recorded information on demographic characteristics, belongingness scale-clinical placement experience (BES-CPE), competency inventory for registered nurses (CIRN), work autonomy, perceived organizational support (SPOS), workplace psychological violence behaviors (WPVB), and turnover intention. Binary logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with turnover intention among nurses.
Results
Mean scores ± SD for BES-CPE, CIRN, work autonomy, SPOS, and turnover intention were 138.05 ± 14.28, 97.35 ± 14.52, 56.33 ± 8.55, 57.90 ± 9.03, and 7.26 ± 3.45, respectively. Nurses with moderate (39.6%) and high WPVB (64.3%) reported significantly higher turnover intentions than those with low WPVB (25.1%). Turnover intentions were also influenced by WPVB in relation to age, education level, professional title, total service time, marital status, and monthly income (P < 0.01 for all interactions).
Conclusions
In China, workplace psychological violence is associated with turnover intentions among nurses. Both personal and professional factors had interactive effects on workplace psychological violence and turnover intention. Improving workplace conditions for all staff may reduce psychological violence and associated turnover intentions.

Published: December 2024

Background: Suicide is a leading cause of death among American Indian youth, reflecting the intergenerational consequences of colonization, historical trauma, racism, and the chronic underfunding of critical health and social services in Native communities. American Indian values, spiritualities, and cultural practices promote the physical, social, and emotional health of Native people, and there is a need for community-based case management approaches and culture-informed behavioral interventions that build from this strength. Cost and cost-effectiveness estimates are critical for policymakers in Tribal communities considering investing in such services.
Objectives: Our objective will be to estimate the cost and cost-effectiveness for community-based paraprofessionals to deliver three preventive services to American Indian youth (aged 10-29): case management, New Hope (a brief intervention to reduce immediate suicide risk) and Elders’ Resilience (a brief intervention incorporating Elders to increase connectedness, self-esteem, and cultural identity).
Methods: We will conduct an economic evaluation as part of a Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trial in a rural, reservation-based American Indian community in the Southwest. A five-year time horizon, societal perspective, and 3% discount rate will be used. An ingredients-based approach will estimate fixed program costs (e.g., intervention development, shared overhead) and variable program costs (e.g., labor and intervention delivery). Additional costs to the participants and healthcare payer will be estimated. Data collection methods will include key informant interviews, activity logs, expenditure reports and records review, direct observation, and medical chart review. Total cost estimates for each service will be divided by the respective numbers of participants reached to estimate relative cost-efficiency. Primary and secondary outcomes will be quality-adjusted life years and suicidal ideation, respectively. Incremental cost effectiveness ratios will be estimated.
Discussion: We will develop much-needed estimates of the cost and cost-effectiveness of delivering community-based, paraprofessional-delivered case management and culture-informed suicide prevention interventions in a rural, reservation-based American Indian community in the Southwest. These estimates will fill a key gap for Tribal policymakers considering comparable services for their communities.

Rel2Graph: Automated Mapping From Relational Databases to a Unified Property Knowledge Graph
Authors: Zhao Ziyu , Liu Wei , French Tim ,   Michael Stewart1
Published: December 2024

Although a few approaches are proposed to convert relational databases to graphs, there is a genuine lack of systematic evaluation across a wider spectrum of databases. Recognising the important issue of query mapping, this paper proposes an approach called Rel2Graph, an automatic knowledge graph construction (KGC) approach from an arbitrary number of relational databases. Our approach also supports the mapping of conjunctive SQL queries into pattern-based NoSQL queries. We evaluate our proposed approach on two widely used relational database-oriented datasets: Spider and KaggleDBQA benchmarks for semantic parsing. We employ the execution accuracy (EA) metric to quantify the proportion of results by executing the NoSQL queries on the property knowledge graph we construct, which aligns with the results of SQL queries performed on relational databases. Consequently, the counterpart property knowledge graph of benchmarks can be ensured to have high accuracy and integrity. The code and data will be publicly available. The code and data are available at github∗.

A Deep Learning Approach for Healthcare Insurance Fraud Detection
Authors: Shungube Precious Sihle , Bokaba Tebogo , Ndayizigamiye Patrick , Mhlongo Siyabonga , Dogo Eustice
Published: December 2024

Healthcare fraud is a global financial challenge affecting economic stability and trust in services, with traditional machine learning models struggling to accurately capture its complexity and adaptive nature. This study investigates the application of three deep learning (DL) models, which are artificial neural networks (ANN), convolutional neural networks (CNN) and long-short-term memory networks (LSTM) for healthcare fraud detection. This study used healthcare claim data, including patient demographics, claim amounts, diagnostic codes, and procedure types, to analyse healthcare service usage and identify fraudulent activity. To enhance the interpretability of these models, locally interpretable model-agnostic explanations (LIME) were used. The evaluation results demonstrated that the ANN was the best performer with an accuracy of 0.94, precision of 0.78, recall of 0.45, and F1-score of 0.57. While CNN excelled in accuracy, the LSTM was more effective in reducing false negatives. The LIME for ANN shows the prediction of a claim to be non-fraudulent with a high probability of 0.96, as opposed to a 0.03 probability of being fraudulent with ‘PotentialFraud', as a driving feature, the evaluation metrics show that it is good at correctly identifying fraudulent cases. This study highlights the efficacy of integrating deep learning models with explainable AI (XAI), contributing to the growing research body in healthcare insurance fraud detection.
CurrI2P: Inter- and Intra-Modality Similarity Curriculum Learning for Image-to-Point Cloud Registration
Authors: Lin Liwei , Lin Chunyu , Nie Lang , Huang Shujuan , Zhao Yao
Published: December 2024

Image-to-point cloud (I2P) registration aims to align 2D images and 3D point clouds within the same scene. However, existing methods neglect the differences in learning difficulties among different samples, failing to bridge the image-to-point cloud modality gap adequately. Moreover, the features of images or point clouds within the same modality are easily affected by various geometric transformations, which further increases the complexity of the registration task. To address these issues, we propose a similarity curriculum learning framework for I2P registration, termed CurrI2P, which not only effectively captures similarities between different data pairs but also gradually adapts the model to more complex data transformations. Specifically, we first present inter-modality similarity curriculum learning to progressively enhance cross-modality similarity to reduce inaccurate matches caused by coarse registration at the early training stage. In addition, we design intra-modality similarity curriculum learning, particularly targeting to learn invariant features of images or point clouds within the same modality under the geometric disturbance of increasing magnitude. In experiments, we incorporate CurrI2P into different baselines to validate the feasibility and achieve state-of-the-art (SoTA) performance on both KITTI and nuScenes datasets.

Knowledge Fusion Guided Pre-training Non-intrusive Load Sparse Sample Recognition
Authors: Jiang Yanmei , Liu Lin , Liu Mingsheng
Published: December 2024

The deep learning technology can realize the rapid recognition of the non-intrusive load, but this technology relies on huge amount of the offline labeled sample for the model training, which increases the cost of the modeling. Due to the randomness of the daily electricity consumption in the users and the sparsity of the unknown load sampled data, the new unknown load sample models exist the low accuracy and the poor reliability. These problems seriously affects the promotion and application of the non-intrusive load identification (NILI) in the electric power industry. In the paper, we present a sparse sample recognition framework, namely KFG-DBiLSTM, to enhances the fusion feature representation ability while improves the knowledge transfer reliability. KFG-DBiLSTM uses the Ad-HW algorithm to detecting and denoising of the raw load data for improving the data availability. To learn more key features information and to enhance the representation interpretability, we propose a dual-layer Transformer network, which improve the fusion features extraction ability in the pre-training stage. By fusion the load knowledge features to train a DBiLSTM network as the load type recognizer for reducing the error rate of the model recognition effectively, which overcomes the bidirectional dependence of the load time series sampled data. To ensure the reliability of the model parameters fine-tuning and transfer, we present a weighted cosine similarity (WCS) measurement method, WCS can eliminate the difference of the load feature fusion and parameters transfer in the fine-tuning stage. A large number of the experiments on the REDD, UK-DALE, and RDSA datasets reveal that our method has a higher unknown load identification accuracy and the good stability. In the case of meeting certain accuracy, a small sample set is used to complete the fine-grained load identification, and this method has strong technical applicability in the smart grid.

Published: December 2024

Charge density waves (CDWs), as a hallmark of strongly correlated electronic systems in low-dimensional materials, exhibit collective quantum phenomena that enable phase-coherent electronic manipulation. In this work, we demonstrate a reconfigurable logic system based on CDW-driven phase transitions, tailored for terahertz optoelectronic applications. By precisely modulating metastable macroscopic quantum states through cooperative thermal, electrical, and optical stimuli, the device achieves deterministic switching between resistive and dissipationless states. Experimental results reveal exceptional performance, including a high current responsivity of 6.79 A/W, a noise equivalent power of 2.64 nW/Hz1/2, and an ultra-fast response time of 2.5 μs at 0.3 THz. The thermally mediated CDW transitions allow fine-tuning of device functionalities, integrating sensing, logic, and memory within a single architecture. This approach offers a paradigm shift by breaking away from conventional von Neumann architectures, addressing energy efficiency and latency bottlenecks through localized, in-sensor computation. Furthermore, our findings provide deep insights into the interplay of symmetry-breaking mechanisms, quantum coherence, and non-equilibrium dynamics in CDW systems, elucidating the underlying physical principles driving the device performance. The long-term retention of resistance states and robust phase stability under multi-field control demonstrate the feasibility of CDW-based devices for secure communication, cryptographic processing, and programmable optoelectronic logic. These results underscore the transformative potential of CDW-driven thermoelectric logic systems in advancing terahertz optoelectronic networks, while simultaneously broadening the understanding of correlated quantum phenomena in condensed matter physics.

Data to Care (D2C) strategies – using routine data to facilitate identification and linkage back to care of people living with HIV who are not in care – have shown promise in high-income settings but received little attention in lower resourced or vertical HIV transmission prevention (VTP) contexts. In this proof-of-concept study, we monitored existing linked electronic medical records in near real-time to identify key gaps in postpartum VTP steps among 336 mothers living with HIV and their infants in Cape Town, South Africa (recruited March 2021 – April 2022). We attempted to confirm observed gaps through source data systems and telephonic tracing, and facilitated re-engagement in care where needed. There were 302 gaps observed in the routine data; 123 (41%) were false gaps and 179 (59%) were considered probable gaps (133 mother-infant pairs). Overall, 54 mothers (16%) did not link to HIV care within 12 weeks of delivery, 43 mothers (13%) linked to care but had a gap in ART dispensing by nine months postpartum, 25 infants (10%) did not have an HIV test around 10 weeks and 57 (17%) had no HIV test around 6 months of age. Only 100 of the probable gaps (56%) could be confirmed through telephonic tracing and, of those, only 47 were successfully re-linked to care. Mobility and clinic transfer, fear of stigma and employment-related challenges were commonly reported reasons for gaps in VTP steps. This study highlights that linked routine data sources linking mother-infant pairs across health facilities has the potential to streamline tracing efforts; however, implementation is challenging and, even when gaps are identified, re-engagement in care may be difficult. Further research is needed to combine D2C strategies with interventions addressing broader social and structural determinants of health, and to tailor D2C strategies to fit available resources and data sources in low-resource settings.
A Comparative Environmental and Economic Analysis of CFRP Recycling Processes Using Life Cycle Assessment and Life Cycle Costing
Authors: Vogiantzi Christina , Tserpes Konstantinos
Published: December 2024

The growing adoption of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRPs) in advanced structural applications has emphasized the need for sustainable recycling methods to address environmental and economic challenges associated with end-of-life (EoL) management. While CFRPs offer exceptional specific mechanical properties, their thermosetting matrix complicates recycling efforts, often resulting in energy-intensive disposal or significant waste accumulation. In recent years, considerable advancements have been made in CFRP recycling, with three primary processes emerging: mechanical, thermal, and chemical recycling. Existing comparisons of these methods have focused on the mechanical performance of recovered fibers, yet their broader sustainability implications warrant further exploration. This study undertakes a comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Environmental Life Cycle Costing (eLCC) analysis of four key recycling techniques: mechanical recycling, pyrolysis, solvolysis, and high-voltage fragmentation. The analysis encompasses the metrics of cumulative energy demand, global warming potential, damage assessment by the Recipe endpoint method, and cost. In the analysis, available data from the literature, process models, and experimental and manufacturing procedures were used. The study's findings emphasize that CFRP recycling methods significantly reduce energy consumption and carbon footprints compared to the production of virgin fibers. Among the recycling techniques evaluated, mechanical recycling and high-voltage fragmentation demonstrate the lowest environmental impact, contributing positively to human health and the preservation of natural resources. The results enable the informed selection of sustainable and cost-effective CFRP recycling processes, supporting advancements in sustainable manufacturing and end-of-life product management.

Published: December 2024

Introduction: We aimed to evaluate the association among regular primary care visits, hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Methods: We randomly sampled data from 200 patients’ electronic medical records. Mann–Whitney and chi-square tests were used to investigate the association between glycemic control lipid profile and the number of patient visits.
Results:The mean age of the participants was 61.78 years and the average body mass index was 34.5 kg/m2. Females constituted 61.79% of participants. The predominant race seen at the clinic was Black (43.8%), followed by White (42.69%). Patient adherence to scheduled visits was not statistically significantly associated with either HbA1C or LDL (chi-square = 1.1, p-value = 0.29 for HbA1c and chi-square = 1.12, p-value = 0.99 for LDL).
Conclusion: In the sample studied, no statistically significant association existed between adherence to primary care visits and either HbA1C or LDL levels. This data can guide physicians to invest on favoring high-quality primary care contact rather than high frequency of visits.

В статье предпринимается попытка философской концептуализации культурной памяти. Показано, что современная критика cultural memory studies связана с развитием конкретных исследований культурной памяти, что способствует как увеличению разнообразия тематик и жанров исследований, так и децентрализации методологии исследований культурной памяти. Используя идеи философской герме-невтики, авторы рассматривают проблему культурной памяти из перспективы философии культуры. Представлен философский анализ общепринятого тезиса о не-соизмеримости различных типов культурной памяти и мемориальных культур.

The article deals with an attempt of philosophical conceptualisation of cultural memory. It is shown that modern criticism of cultural memory studies is associated with the development of the specific studies of cultural memory, which contributes both to increase in the diversity of subjects and genres of research, and to the decentralization of the methodology for the study of cultural memory. On the basis of hermeneutical methodology, the problem of cultural memory is examined from the perspective of the philosophy of culture. The authors attempt to philosophize the generally accepted thesis of the incommensurability of various types of cultural memory and cultures of remembrance.
АНТИЧНЫЕ ТЕКСТЫ IN STATU QUOИСТОКИ ЖАНРА ПЕДАГОГИЧЕСКОЙ АНТОЛОГИИКАК ФОРМЫ ИСТОРИЧЕСКОЙ ПАМЯТИ
Authors: Пичугина В.К.
Published: December 2024

В статье рассматриваются истоки антологического принципа в античных представлениях о памяти. Античные авторы часто брали на себя роль составителей-комментаторов, маневрируя между желанием сделать чужие тексты доступными и желанием манипулировать ими в рамках конкретной культуры. Антология как форма исторической памяти возникает в пространстве между благоговейностью и бесцеремонностью отношения к текстам. Это пространство оформилось в античном прошлом и продолжает существовать в современном настоящем, где также существуют санкционированные и несанкционированные воспоминания и модели памяти, которые репрезентируются с педагогическим умыслом.

The article considers the origins of anthological principle in the ancient notions of memory. Ancient authors often took on the role of compilers-commentators, maneuvering between the desire to make other people's texts accessible and the desire to manipulate them within a particular culture. If we define anthology as a form of historical memory, then we must admit that it arises in the space between reverence and unceremoniousness of the relation to texts. This space took shape in the ancient past and continues to exist in the modern present, where there are also sanctioned and unauthorized memories and memory models that are represented with pedagogical intent.

«ЗЛЫЕ ЗАМЕТКИ» КАК ЧАСТЬ ИДЕЙНОГО НАСЛЕДИЯ Н.И. БУХАРИНА
Authors: Коваленко Н.В.
Published: December 2024

В работе проводится разбор «Злых заметок» Н.И. Бухарина, содержащих резкую критику лирики Сергея Есенина. Автор анализирует содержание «Злых заметок» в контексте основных идей Бухарина и обращается к духовной и интеллектуальной атмосфере первых двух десятилетий XX века. В статье делается вывод о том, что содержание «Злых заметок» полностью соответствуют основным идеям Бухарина в отношении российского/советского общества, а резкая критика есенинской поэзии обусловлена тем, что последняя несла в себе тенденции, несовместимые для Бухарина с текущими задачами общества переходного периода, оказывала значительное деструктивное влияние, в том числе на молодежь.

The paper deals with Nicolay Bukharin’s article Angry notes (Zlye zametki) which is dedicated to the lyrics of Sergey Yesenin. The author undertakes a detailed analysis of the structure, logic, and rhetoric of this article, and studies it as an important evidence for Bukharin’s ideas about the early Soviet society. To understand the reasons for the creation of Angry notes the author also refers to cultural and literary processes in the Soviet/Russian society of the early 20th c. The author shows that Angry notes were organically linked to a wide range of Bukharin’s ideas. The severe criticism of Yesenin’s poetry is determined by the fact that in Bukharin’s view some of Yesenin’s tendencies were incompatible with the current tasks of the transitional society. Yesenin’s lyrics, according to Bukharin, was capable to destructively influence the society, especially the youth.
ЭРОЗИЯ ЧУВСТВА КОММУНАЛЬНОЙ ОБЩНОСТИПОГРЕБАЛЬНЫЕ ПРОЦЕССИИ И ПЛОЩАДНЫЕ БАЛЛАДЫв 1560-1630 гг.
Authors: Карначук Н.В.
Published: December 2024

В статье исследованы параллельные изменения в погребальной процессии в дворянской среде и трансформации площадной литературы в начале XVII в. Начиная с 1612 г., росла популярность ночных похорон – менее обременительных материально, обращенных более к личному переживанию потери, чем к публичному акту единения общины. Отмечены особенности жанра площадной баллады-эпитафии и стабильность этого рода литературы на протяжении второй половины XVI в. Показано, что одновременно с ростом популярности ночных похорон площадная баллада претерпела ряд количественных и качественных изменений. Предложена гипотеза о связи этих явлений и их влиянии на самовосприятие городского сообщества.

The article points out synchronism in transformations of funerary procession of nobility and of broadside epitaphs in the early 17th century. After 1612 popularity of night funerals, which were cheaper and apt more for the expression of individual feelings than for the display of communal unity, was constantly growing. The article ponders over characteristic features of broadside epitaphs and marks constant flourishing of these texts in the second half of the 16th century. However, in the first decades of the 17th century broadside epitaphs underwent several quantitative and qualitative changes, simultaneous with the growing popularity of night funerals. The article suggests a hypothesis that these processes were connected and worked for disintegration of the communal unity feeling.

Authors: Прилуцкий В.В.
Published: December 2024

В статье рассматриваются особенности возникновения и деятельности основных «групп ненависти» в США в XIX – начале ХХ в. Проведен анализ сформировавшихся в данную эпоху идеологических основ американского политического экстремизма, радикализма и расизма, носителями которых первоначально являлись антимасоны, нативисты и куклуксклановцы. Социокультурный и социально-психологический подходы позволили понять умонастроения и поведенческие стереотипы радикалов. Показано, что «группы ненависти» были одержимы идеей поиска и разоблачения врагов, якобы угрожавших благополучию и безопасности страны, замышлявших заговоры против государства, подрывавших морально-нравственные устои общества и разрушавших его религиозную идентичность.

The article considers features of development and the main activities of «hate groups» in the United States in the 19th – early 20th centuries. The analysis of ideological bases of modern American political extremism, radicalism and racism is carried out, which bearers were originally Anti-Masons, Nativists and Klansmen. Socio-cultural and socio-psychological methods made it possible to understand the mentality and behavioral stereotypes of radicals. It is shown that «hate groups» were obsessed with the idea of searching and exposing enemies, that allegedly threatened the welfare and security of the country, plotting conspiracies against the state, undermining the moral and moral foundations of society and destroying its religious identity.

После распада СССР большая часть цалкских греков переселилась на Северный Кавказ. Несколько десятилетий назад большинство урумов считало родным языком анатолий-ский диалект турецкого языка. В настоящее время у урумов России путь к греческому языку пролегает через русский язык, способствующий избавлению от турецкого.
