The use of degraded peatlands for biomass production
Authors: Rodzkin Aleh , Charnenok Euhenia , Krstic Borivoj
Published: July 2021

The goal of this research is an assessment of the possible use of peatlands
biomass and straw for the production of mixed bio-pellets. Peaty soils are a
specific type of soils formed as the result of wetlands drainage. Peat
mining is completed by the factory if the layer of the peat is less than 1-2
meters and not enough deep for effective mechanical excavation. After the
peat excavation is finished, the biggest problem is the use of these lands
for other purposes. One of the perspective directions is rewetting of
post-mining peatlands to stimulate the growth of common reed, cattail,
fescue, sedge, and other grasses which may grow in natural conditions, and
also improve conditions for the cultivation of other plants, including
trees. The yield of wetland grass in Belarus varies from 8.1 to 14 DM g ha-1
per year. The yield of willow wood can reach 8-10 of DM g ha-1 per year. The
highest prime cost of biomass is obtained for willow wood, but it will be
lower with the enlargement of the plantation area. Pellets with a high
content of wood residues (sawdust) have the best technological parameters
including calorific value when compared to pellets from only peat and peat
plus straw. Biomass production on degraded peaty soils has also an
ecological effect. The cost of carbon quotas on the market varies from 20 to
25 euro per ton, and biomass production can provide additional profit in the
case of CO2 emissions trading depending on the biomass content in the fuel.

Published: July 2021

The research on human capital management has extensively emerged in recent years. Organizations need to know how to manage human capital effectively to boost performance. Many literature reviews have been published on the specific aspects of human capital management. However, less attention has been given to bibliometric and network analysis aspects. Hence, the purpose of this study is to visualize the research domain of human capital management by conducting a bibliometric analysis. The analysis was performed using Scopus Analyzer available in the Scopus database and VOSviewer software. A total of 1098 publications concerning human capital management were extracted from the Scopus database ranging from 2008 to 2018. Co-citation and co-word analysis were conducted to graphically illustrate the publication trend and to identify areas of current research interests. The outcome of this study may assist researchers in understanding the nature of the human capital management research domain from across the world and suggest future research directions.

Authors: Rismayuddin Nurul Fatiha Risma , Azizam Nor Azmaniza , Ismail Aniza
Published: July 2021

Psoriasis poses a significant economic burden. A systematic review of psoriasis treatments cost and effectiveness has been performed extensively in the United States (US) and Europe, but such review is limited in Asia. This review aims to analyze all previous literature on the cost and effectiveness of systemic and biological treatment for moderate to severe psoriasis. Cost of illness and cost-effectiveness studies that examined the economic burden, cost, and effectiveness of psoriasis treatments (systemic and biological) in Asian region from 2010 to 2020 were published in English language. All costs were converted into 2020 US Dollar. All COIs included found that direct medical costs were greater than indirect costs. Adalimumab, ustekinumab, risankizumab, secukinumab 150 mg were cost-effective treatments and of the lowest cost per PASI-75/PASI1 and/or QALY. When comparing the different treatments, topical and systemic psoriasis treatments were observed to be the most cost-effective compared with other modalities. Given the tremendous economic effects of psoriasis on patients and hospitals, economic analysis, clinicians, and policymakers should consider cost and effectiveness evidence, as this systematic literature review was conducted to analyze previous documentation regarding the cost and effectiveness of systemics and biologics in Asian countries.

Published: July 2021

The purpose of this paper is to examine the factors that influence the entrepreneurship intention of undergraduate university students in Malaysia by making a comparative analysis among different groups of students. Employing a probability stratified disproportionated sampling, a total of 150  business and 150 non-business students completed the entrepreneurship intention questionnaire. The questionnaire has five parts extracting information about demographic profiles, regulative structure, normative structure, cognitive structure, and entrepreneurship intention. The respondents were asked to state their opinions on statements on a five-point Likert-type scale. The hypotheses were tested using Pearson correlation and multiple regression. Our finding first has discovered business students possess a high level of entrepreneurial intention, cognitive structure, and normativestructure as compare to non-business students. On other hand, non-business students have high level of regulative structure as compared to business students. Second, there are positive relationships between regulative, normative, and cognitive structure and entrepreneurship intention for both business and non-business students. Third, based on regression analysis, the normative structure has been discovered as the strongest predictor for both groups. This indicates that social pressures or supports will influence students’ intention to become an entrepreneur. Thus, the study finds interesting mixed results where there is a significant difference in entrepreneurship intention, regulative, normative, and cognitive structure between business and nonbusiness students, and all variables are significant to both groups where normative structure acts as a significant predictor forboth groups. Thus, regardless of students’ academic courses, anyone can become an entrepreneur. The study strongly suggests the need to incorporate an entrepreneurship support system by Malaysian universities, government, and related agencies.
Dreissig Jahre nach dem Fall der Berliner Mauer. Eine literarische Standortbestimmung
Authors: Zeuch Ulrike
Published: July 2021

Die Literatur der letzten dreissig Jahre nach dem Fall der Berliner Mauer bestätigt, was Imre Kertész in seinem Essay Freiheit der Selbstbestimmung zu bedenken gibt, dass die Frage, wie ein jeder in der Gesellschaft, der er angehört, der sein kann, der er ist, nicht so trivial ist, wie es zunächst scheinen mag, und auch die westlichen Demokratien bloss deshalb, weil sie Demokratien sind, keine Patentlösungen haben. Deutschland ist dabei keine Ausnahme, wie die Literatur exemplarisch zeigt. Zu komplex ist die Nachkriegsgeschichte beider deutscher Staaten, zu unterschiedlich sind die Lebenserfahrungen und die Konzepte dessen, was Freiheit der Selbstbestimmung meint; zu heterogen sind die politischen, ökonomischen, sozialen wie individuellen Interessen und Erwartungen der Bürgerinnen und Bürger im Osten wie im Westen, die 1989 aufeinandertreffen.

Auch nach dreissig Jahren ist die Frage nach dem Sinn des Lebens jenseits von Konsum und Kapital nicht beantwortet. Merkwürdigerweise kommt bei den Rückblicken auf die untergegangene, durch friedliche Demonstrationen aufgelöste DDR in der Literatur die Selbstbestimmung als das Novum der Wiedervereinigung, als die Qualität an sich bis heute schlechthin nicht vor. 

Die Schriftstellerinnen und Schriftsteller nehmen sich zwar ihre Freiheit und schreiben, worüber ihres Erachtens geschrieben werden muss: über die Vergangenheit und über die Gegenwart. Ausgespart jedoch bleibt die Zukunft, schon gar als utopischer Entwurf. Es gibt keinen Plan, so scheint es, wo die Reise, wo das Leben im wiedervereinigten Deutschland hingehen soll oder kann.
Walter White: From «Apply Yourself» to «Say my Name». Aspects of Political Theory in «Breaking Bad»
Authors: Baer Josette
Published: July 2021

This text should be understood as an interdisciplinary inquiry into one of the most successful US TV series: Breaking Bad (BB). I use political theory analysis, plot analysis that one could understand as textual analysis of the story, and my interpretations of the series’ main characters. In the first chapter, I present a summary of the story of Walter White and how his decisions affect his family. In the second chapter, I analyse BB according to Thomas Hobbes’ Leviathan. What Hobbes meant with his famous saying that man is man’s wolf, thus a deadly reciprocal threat of all against all comes to life in Walter becoming a full-fledged criminal, murder and deception now the tools of his new chosen craft. Walter is breaking bad, ignoring societal norms and ethical values, pursuing relentlessly his plans of making money for his family, enjoying his new self as a powerful provider because that is what men do: they provide. The third chapter is dedicated to an analysis how Hannah Arendt’s definitions of power, strength, authority, violence and judgement can explain Walter’s change from Paulus to Saulus. In the conclusion, I shall present my thoughts about the series and answer the following research questions: first, why is the global public still so smitten with Walter White? Second, what can one learn from BB for our contemporary conditio humana in the 21st century? Third, is Walter White the master of his life, thus self-determined (Selbstbestimmung), or is he dominated by forces outside of his own free will (Fremdbestimmung)?

Authors: Yin Xianqing , Ma Yabing , Wang Xiujun , Huang Xueqi , Zhu Mijia
Published: July 2021

Residual anionic polyacrylamide in polymer-flooding oil production wastewater results in the formation of a thermodynamically stable system. In this study, the effects of three different types of medicaments, namely, cationic, anionic and nonionic agents, in dynamic treatments, such as adding a position, dosage and combined processes of chemical addition, on the oil removal rate of sewage were examined. In the treatment with a single agent, the oil removal rate of the cationic agent CQY-1 and the nonionic agent CHF-2 was ≥ 97.8%. The charge characteristics of different ionic agents for the combined dosing treatment indicated that the oil removal rate was better than that of a single agent; the combined dosing ratio was 50 mg/L CHP-1 and 50 mg/L CHP-2. At 80 mg/L CQY-1, the oil removal rate of the dynamic process was ≥ 98.8%, and the dosage of CQY-1 was reduced from 200 mg/L to 50–150 mg/L, which corresponded to a decrease of 25.0%–75.0%. Therefore, the combined dosing process effectively reduced the single dosage.

Authors: Lajoso-Silva Nuno , Bezerra Pedro , Silva Bruno , Carral José Maria Cancela
Published: July 2021

Introduction

Firefighters’ (FFs) cardiorespiratory fitness is considered an important capacity for workability. To successfully complete safety standards and rescue protocols, FFs are required to accomplish minimum values of relative VO2max. Physical fitness programs for FFs must take into consideration physiological demands, being essential not only for professional tasks but also as a guarantee of their personal safety. This research aimed to investigate the influence of specific functional training (FT) with and without personal protective equipment (PPE) and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) on the FFs’ cardiorespiratory fitness.

Material and methods

Sixty FFs were randomly allocated in three groups (EG1 training with PPE+SCBA; EG2 training with regular fitness equipment and the control group) and enrolled for a 24-week (two sessions/week) FT intervention program. FFs were assessed in anthropometric and 12-minute Cooper test, pre and post-intervention.

Results

Both training groups demonstrated significant improvements from baseline to post intervention EG1 VO2max (39.8 ± 6.5ml.kg−1.min−1 and 41.2 ± 5.6ml.kg−1.min−1, p < 0.001, +3.5%; EG2 VO2max 41.5 ± 8.3ml.kg−1.min−1 and 42.5 ± 7.5ml.kg−1.min−1, p < 0.05, +2.4%).

Conclusions

The proposed FT intervention, considering the provided equipment in all fire departments, and even without running tasks, seems to be adequate for developing FFs’ VO2max. Regular FT with PPE+SCAB must be encouraged to improve adequate VO2max and fitness levels related to firefighting specific tasks.
Numerical Study of the Effect of Wing Position on the Dynamic Motion Characteristics of an Underwater Glider
Authors: Wu Xiangcheng , Yu Pengyao , Li Guangzhao , Li Fengkun
Published: July 2021

Underwater gliders are winged, autonomous underwater vehicles that are broadly applied in physical and biological oceanography. The position of the wing has an important effect on the movement performance of the underwater glider. In this paper, the dynamic motion of a series of underwater glider models with different longitudinal wing positions are simulated, which provides guidance for the design of underwater gliders. The results show that when the net buoyancy is constant, the wing position affects the gliding angle, but does not affect the relationship between the gliding angle and the gliding speed. In addition, the farther the wing position of the glider is from the buoyancy centre, the longer it takes for the attitude of a glider to change, whether the wing is in front of, or behind, the buoyancy centre.
A Multi-Case-Based Assembly Management Method for the Shipbuilding Industry
Authors: Iwańkowicz Remigiusz
Published: July 2021

This article describes a method for planning the assembly of ship hulls that focuses on a welding sequence, takes into account subassembly processes and makes use of a previously built database of structures. Different degrees of similarity between structures are taken into account. The described research led to the development of an intelligent hybrid sequencing method for structure assembly that uses fuzzy clustering, case-based reasoning and evolutionary optimization. The method is called ‘Multi-case-Based Assembly Planning (MBAP)’. The method is developed to provide satisfactory solutions with low user effort. The analyses carried out show that the calculations are highly time-efficient. The developed evolutionary algorithm converges on sub-optimal solutions. The MBAP method can be directly implemented by any shipbuilder that assembles hulls. Apart from this, fuzzy clustering integrated with case-based reasoning can be applied in practice. The integration of fuzzy clustering and case-based reasoning has been taken to a level higher than previously described in the literature.

Published: July 2021

This study is dedicated to investigations of the working process in a dual-fuel low-emission combustion chamber for a floating vessel’s gas turbine. As the object of the research, a low-emission gas turbine combustion chamber with partial premixing of fuel and air inside the outer and inner radial-axial swirls was chosen. The method of the research is based on the numerical solution of the system of differential equations which represent the physical process of mass and energy conservation and transformations and species transport for a multi-component chemically reactive turbulent system, considering nitrogen oxides formation and a discrete ordinates model of radiation. The chemistry kinetics is presented by the 6-step mechanism of combustion. Seven fuel supply operating modes, varying from 100% gaseous fuel to 100% liquid fuel, have been analysed. This analysis has revealed the possibility of the application of computational fluid dynamics for problems of dual-fuel combustion chambers for the design of a floating vessel’s gas turbine. Moreover, the study has shown the possibility of working in different transitional gaseous and liquid fuel supply modes, as they satisfy modern ecological requirements. The dependencies of the averaged temperature, NO, and CO concentrations along the length of the low-emission gas turbine combustion chamber for different cases of fuel supply are presented. Depending on the different operating modes, the calculated emission of nitrogen oxides NO and carbon monoxide CO at the outlet cross-section of a flame tube are different, but, they lie in the ranges of 31‒50 and 23‒24 mg/nm3 on the peak of 100% liquid fuel supply mode. At operating modes where a gaseous fuel supply prevails, nitrogen oxide NO and carbon monoxide CO emissions lie in the ranges of 1.2‒4.0 and 0.04‒18 mg/nm3 respectively.

Influence of Tire Pressure on Noise Road
Authors: Gorzelanczyk Piotr , Wład Patryk , Jurkovič Martin , Kalina Tomáš
Published: July 2021

The article concerns the analysis of the influence of pressure on the noise generated by tires. The largest source of noise and vibrations is the cooperation of the wheels with the surface and the aerodynamic noise. For this purpose, seven winter tires, seven summer tires and one all-season tire were tested in the same region and same conditions. By changing the pressure in them in the range of 1-3 bar, the noise of the tires was measured. On the basis of the conducted tests, it can be concluded that with the decrease of tire pressure, the noise level of the tire decreases. The average noise drop recorded during tests for all types of tested tires is about 1.5 dB at a pressure drop of approx. 2 bar. The decrease in noise at reduced pressure is also dependent on the size of the tire and the softness of the mixture used for the production of tires. When operating the vehicle, follow the manufacturer's tire pressure recommendations.

Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein E1 (hnRNP E1) is a tumor suppressor protein that binds site- and structure-specifically to RNA sequences to regulate mRNA stability, facilitate alternative splicing, and suppress protein translation on several metastasis-associated mRNAs. Here, we show that hnRNP E1 binds polycytosine-rich DNA tracts present throughout the genome, including those at promoters of several oncogenes and telomeres and monitors genome integrity. It binds DNA in a site- and structure-specific manner. hnRNP E1-knockdown cells displayed increased DNA damage signals including γ-H2AX at its binding sites and also showed increased mutations. UV and hydroxyurea treatment of hnRNP E1-knockdown cells exacerbated the basal DNA damage signals with increased cell cycle arrest, activation of checkpoint proteins, and monoubiquitination of proliferating cell nuclear antigen despite no changes in deubiquitinating enzymes. DNA damage caused by genotoxin treatment localized to hnRNP E1 binding sites. Our work suggests that hnRNP E1 facilitates functions of DNA integrity proteins at polycytosine tracts and monitors DNA integrity at these sites.

Disaster Risks of the Seven Filipino-Spanish Churches of the Diocese of Maasin, Philippines | Disaster Risks ng Pitong Pilipino-Espanyol na Simbahan ng Diyosesis ng Maasin sa Pilipinas
Authors: Loreto Raffy , Fernandez, Jr. Guiraldo , Liwanag Leslie Anne L. , Demeterio F.P.A.
Published: July 2021

In the Roman Catholic Diocese of Maasin, on the island of Leyte, Philippines, there remain today seven Filipino-Spanish churches that are made of stone, mortar and wood, ranging from almost four centuries to more than a century old. The Island of Leyte, as home to 22 active and dormant volcanoes, as exposed to the atmospheric disturbances from the Pacific Ocean, and as bisected by the Philippine Fault Line, is more at risk to extreme natural hazards than an average Philippine island. By looking at the interplay between the resistance/vulnerability of these churches on one hand, and the natural hazards threatening these churches on the other hand, this paper proffers mitigating recommendations to the primary stakeholders with the purview of increasing the resilience of these same churches. The data on the resistance/vulnerability of the said churches were gathered through rapid survey, while the data on natural hazards were gathered through existing hazard maps and web applications. The methodology laid out by this paper can be a useful initial step for the conservation of heritage structures in developing societies. Sa Katoliko Romanong Diyosesis ng Maasin sa isla ng Leyte sa Pilipinas, kasalukuyang may pitong Pilipino-Espanyol na simbahang gawa sa bato, mortar, at kahoy na halos isa hanggang apat na siglo nang umiiral. Ang Isla ng Leyte ay tahanan ng 22 na aktibo at dormanteng bulkan na nakalantad sa mga atmosperikong alburuto mula sa Karagatang Pasipiko at nahahati pa sa ilalim ng fault line ng Pilipinas. Ilan lamang sa dahilan kung bakit maituturing na risk sa matitinding likas na panganib kumpara sa karaniwang isla sa Pilipinas. Kapag titingnan ang pagkikipagtalaban ng resistance/bulnerabilidad, kaakibat ang mga likas na inaasahang panganib (natural hazards) ng mga simbahan, mahalaga para sa papel na ito na magbigay ng mga rekomendasyon sa mga pangunahing stakeholder na makakabawas ng masamang epekto datapwat magpapalawak pa ng katatagan ng mga natukoy na simbahan. Sa pamamagitan ng rapid survey, kinalap ang mga datos hinggil sa resistance/bulnerabilidad ng mga simbahan, samantalang nilikom ang datos sa mga likas na inaasahang panganib sa pamamagitan ng mga umiiral na hazard maps at web applications. Maaaring maging kapaki-pakinabang ang metodolohiyang ginamit ng papel upang magsilbing inisyal na hakbang sa konserbasyon ng mga estrukturang pamana sa mga umuunlad pa lamang na lipunan.

People demand quick and instant service provision, including health service. Applications based on mHealth technology are made to serve that demand. This research aims to examine the effects of intervening variables such as perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, trust in application, and satisfaction on consumers’ continuance intention to use mHealth technology. This research employs a quantitative method to assess primary data samples taken from the users of Halodoc health service application in Java. The results of this research show that the trust and perceived usefulness variables do not significantly affect consumers’ continuance usage intention. Only the perceived ease of use and satisfaction variables yield a significant impact on consumers’ continuance usage intention. Hopefully, these results can be a valuable insight for PT Media Dokter Investama to enhance their service to attract more mHealth technology users to use Halodoc.
A empatia na mediação: a contribuição da comunicação não violenta
Authors: Reis Cristiane
Published: July 2021

Sendo o conflito uma realidade humana, que se dava inicialmente por meio da autotutela, com o surgimento do Estado, este veio a retirar o poder de solução das partes em relação aos conflitos, passando a geri-lo. Mais recentemente em nossa história, começou o movimento da Resolução Alternativa de Conflitos, na qual a mediação está inserida. O Estado-Juiz afastou não só as partes, mas também a empatia do julgador, ao examinar o conflito. A empatia é a capacidade de uma pessoa enxergar a situação pelos olhos da outra. Assim, o que se presente no presente artigo é apresentar a Comunicação Não Violenta (CNV), de Marshall Rosemberg, como uma técnica possível a ser utilizada pelo mediador e pelas partes para o desenvolvimento da empatia no processo de mediação, até porque o conflito está, sobretudo, no campo das emoções das pessoas, onde os quatro componentes da CNV contribuem para uma comunicação mais empática e compassiva.
Influence of the autoirradiation on nanosized gold layers formation by the ion-beam deposition
Authors: Galenko E. N. , Sharko S. A. , Novitskii N. N. , Ivash O. I. , Ketsko V. A.
Published: July 2021

2–13 nm gold films were obtained by the method of ion-beam sputtering on silicon and quartz substrates. It is shown that the use of an additional operation of deposition followed by the sputtering of a gold layer of 2–3 nm thickness makes it possible to reduce the electrical resistance and surface roughness of the metal films, in comparison with similar films obtained without its use. The results of measuring the temperature coefficient of resistance of nanosized gold films on silicon substrates allowed us to conclude that the films deposited become continuous at a thickness of 6-8 nm. The results of optical measurements of 10 nm gold films, obtained on quartz substrates, showed that the reflection coefficient of electromagnetic radiation at a wavelength of 850 nm is 2.8 % higher than the corresponding coefficient for the same films obtained without using this operation, and is 83 %. An important role in the formation of nanoscale gold layers is played by the processes of self-irradiation of the growing layer of the high-energy component of the gold atoms flux. When using an additional operation of deposition/sputtering, high-energy gold atoms are implanted into the substrate to a depth of about 2 nm. On the one hand, these atoms are point defects in the surface damaged layer of the substrate; on the other hand, they serve as additional centers of cluster formation. This ensures strong adhesion of the metal layer to the substrate and, therefore, the gold films become continuous and more homogeneous in microstructure. The method of ion-beam deposition can be successfully applied to obtain high-quality conductive optically transparent nanosized gold films.
External heat-exchange in a quasi-bidisperse granular fluidized bed
Authors: Buchilko E. K.
Published: July 2021

This paper presents the results of an experimental study of the external heat-exchange with a tube bundle in a bidisperse fluidized bed with marked bimodality of particle size distribution. The dependence of the maximum heat-transfer coefficient on the rate of air filtration was determined. The influence of the mass fraction of large particles on the heat-transfer coefficient in a mixture has been established. An interpolation dependence for calculating the optimal filtration rate of the investigated mixtures has been obtained. It is recommended to use the average surface diameter of the polydisperse particles mixture as the equivalent diameter when calculating the heat-exchange. A method for calculating the maximum heat-transfer coefficient and the optimal filtration rate for a quasi-bidisperse fluidized bed has been developed. The method is based on the use of heat transfer coefficients and optimal filtration rates of individual components of the bidisperse mixture. The equations for calculating the maximum heat-transfer coefficient and the optimal filtration rate in the bidisperse mixture has been obtained.

Published: July 2021

The search for novel natural ingredients has been stimulated by the food and non‐food industries, and roots of Pachyrhizus erosus (jicama) emerges as promising crops for industrial production due to its crispy and succulent flesh and high yield. Therefore, jicama starches from Fujian Province (SFJ) and Guangxi Province (SGX) were isolated and the microstructure, swelling power, crystallinity, thermal property, rheological property, and in vitro digestibility were determined. The starch granules of SFJ and SGX showed polyhedral, spherical or semi‐spherical shapes with smooth nonporous surface. SFJ and SGX showed increasing solubility and swelling power with the increasing of temperature. By X‐ray diffraction analysis, both had typical A‐type crystallinity, but SFJ showed lower relative crystallinity (29.4%) than SGX (35.4%). SFJ with smaller granule sizes and lower relative crystallinity showed weaker thermal stability, lower viscosity, weaker strength of starch gels, and lower Resistant Starch (RS) content. The high contents of RS in SFJ (65.67%) and SGX (70.37%) suggested that jicama is promising low energy food for special purposes.

Abstract: The article is devoted to the assessment of water quality according to
chemical indicators in the vileshchay water reservoir, which is the main source of
drinking water supply in Masalli region. The study used the results of the analysis
of water samples covering the years 1994-2017 of the Shikhlar hydrological station
operating on the vileshchay, the main source of nutrition of the reservoir. The basic
ions and water hardness were determined. The results of the analysis were compared
with the existing Sanitary Norms and Regulations, as well as with the World health
Organization's permissible Solidarity limit, and the results obtained were analyzed.
unlike other lankaran rivers, vileshchay water belongs to the chlorine class of the
sodium and potassium group, as the river is dominated by chlorine from anions and
sodium and potassium from cations during the year.
Keywords: Vileshchay reservoir, water quality, ionic composition, water hardness, permissible concentration limit.
Doğu Bloku’nun Yıkılması ve Avrupa Bütünleşmesinde Ortak Avrupa Evi Tezi
Authors: Orallı Levent Ersin
Published: July 2021

Avrupa’nın sosyal ve kültürel bazda ortak köklere sahip olduğunu vurgulayan Mihail Gorbaçov, böyle yoğun bir ilişki yumağı sonrası oluşmuş Avrupa’nın ikiye bölünmüşlüğünün son bulması gerektiğini belirtmiştir. Avrupa’nın ortak bir çatı altında barınması gerektiğini; ancak her ailenin kendi dairesinin ve farklı giriş kapılarının olması gerektiğini dile getirmiştir. 6 Temmuz 1989’da Avrupa Konseyi Toplantısı’nda, “Ortak Avrupa Evi” önerisinde bulunan Gorbaçov’un, bu önerisinin mantığını açıklamak konusunda insancıl argümanlar kullandığını görmekteyiz. Silahlanmanın önüne geçilmesi hususunda atılacak adımların somutlaşması adına, ortak bir çatıya ihtiyaç duyulduğu belirtilerek, olası bir nükleer savaşın yanısıra, bir konvansiyonel savaşta dahi Avrupa’nın haritadan silineceğinin üzerinde durmuştur. Çalışmada, Doğu Bloku’nun çözülme süreci, Ortak Avrupa Evi teorisi ve bu yaklaşımın Avrupa bütünleşmesi sürecine yansımaları anlatılarak, okurlara tarihsel süreci ortaya koyucu ve bilgilendirici bir akış sunulacaktır.

Domestic Constraints on Foreign Policy Change in Belarus
Authors: Hansbury Paul
Published: July 2021

After 2014 the relationship between Russia and its ally Belarus was strained. Russia was dissatisfied with Belarus’s foreign policy and sought to influence the latter’s international affairs. This article considers the extent of change and continuity in Belarus’s foreign policy, and thus whether Russia’s criticisms reflect consequential shifts, covering the period 2016–2019. The analysis begins with the removal of EU sanctions, which afforded Belarus new opportunities, and ends before the protest movement that emerged ahead of the election in 2020. The study considers three policy areas: international trade; diplomacy more broadly; and foreign policy concerns for prestige. The article argues that Belarus made appreciable policy changes in response to structural pressures in the period 2016–2019, but the parameters of these foreign policy shifts were necessarily highly constrained by domestic interest group competition which prevents Belarus distancing itself from Russia. It concludes with a brief reflection on how the 2020 election protests and repressions affect the dynamics described.
