Due to the publication of Nikolai Pchelin and Simone-Christiane Raschmann Turfan manuscripts in the State Hermitage a rediscovery published in 2016, it became obvious that some manuscript and blockprint fragments in different languages used in Central Asia, that had been discovered in the course of four German Turfan expeditions (19021914) and later housed in the Museum fr Vlkerkunde (Berlin) for exhibition reasons, nowadays are preserved in the depot of the State Hermitage Museum. The present article deals with two Old Uyghur fragments of Sitātapatrā dhāraṇī blockprinted during the Yuan era. This paper presents codicological description of the fragments, and transcription, transliteration, translation and facsimiles of the preserved parts of the text.
3D bioprinting in microgravity: An end to organ donor shortages?
Authors: Lu Stephanie Yi Fei , Groh Adam M.R.
Published: December 2021

Countless lives have been saved with the advent of modern organ transplantation. However, the current shortage of compatible organ donors is limiting the life-saving potential of transplantation. According to the United Network for Organ Sharing, approximately 20 patients die each day in the United States while waiting for a transplant [1]. The discrepancy between supply and demand of organ donors is accentuated by a fundamental ethical dilemma associated with deceased organ donation: one person must die so that another may live [2]. The current viewpoint considers the viability of 3D bioprinting in microgravity as a solution to organ donor shortages. Current alternatives to deceased organ donation, including xenotransplantation and other state-of-the-art bioprinting techniques, are reviewed and compared to bioprinting in microgravity. The limitations of bioprinting within Earth’s gravitational field are also discussed, revealing the need for further research.
The relationship between maritime phosphate pollution and socioeconomic wellbeing
Authors: Hu Tony , Zhou William , Li Andrew , Patki Dhananjay
Published: December 2021

Phosphate rock reserves are expected to deplete in the next 50-100 years, with the point of highest phosphorus production predicted to be in 2030. Phosphate, the base of many fertilizers, is a non-renewable resource. Ocean phosphate concentrations provide a good indication of global fertilizer use, since agricultural runoff often contributes to increases in ocean phosphate concentration. This study explores the relationship between the concentration of phosphate in a nation’s maritime borders and the nation’s score on the Social Progress Index. The study aims to link findings with possible approaches to help meet two of the United Nations’ (UN) Sustainable Development Goals: creating sustainable communities, and conserving and sustainably using oceans. Phosphate concentration data were acquired from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and compared with factors of social welfare from the 2018 Social Progress Index. For each nation on the Social Progress Index, the nation’s score on every factor was separately compared to ocean phosphate concentration data within that nation’s maritime borders, and a linear regression was performed for each comparison. The results indicate countries ranking higher on the Social Progress Index generally have greater ocean phosphate concentrations, suggesting that countries of higher social welfare contribute more to global phosphate use or have greater amounts of fertilizer runoff. The findings should be considered by developed nations to inform decisions around pollution reduction as well as developing nations aiming for sustainable social progress. Both should consider the environmental effects that social progress has or will have on the greater global community, of which the significance to sustainable resource development and environmental protection is invaluable.

An observational and cross-sectional study of prescribing pattern of antifungal drugs in a tertiary care center of Bihar
Authors: Singh Asha , Manohar Murli
Published: December 2021

Fungal infections take a toll on the health of all individuals, irrespective of ages, gender, ethnicity etc. But still major researchers have focused on antibacterial rather than antifungal till recent past, when the limelight has moved to antifungal medicines. Adding to the gravity of the situation, is the growing resistance against these drugs. Keeping these facts in mind, this study was planned to delineate the prescribing pattern of antifungal drugs by the various specialty in a tertiary care center in the eastern part of the country.

This was an observational and cross-sectional hospital-based study. The study incorporated 218 patients from various departments of the hospital during the study duration that was from March 2021 to September 2021. Descriptive statistics was performed using SPSS ver 20.0. Results has been depicted in formof text and table.

Antifungal medicines prescribed mostly for leukemia and other immunocompromised status. Most of the patients came from the department of general medicine. Majority of the patients had hematological disorders followed by infections. Anidulafungin was reported to have been prescribed most commonly by the department of surgery in patients with solid tumors. Patients with lung infections also received this drug by physicians. This use can be justified by its action against invasive aspergillosis, oesophageal candidiasis and peritonitis and intraabdominal abscess caused by candida species. Ketoconazole and clotrimazole were the least used antifungal agents in our study. These two agents are mainly indicated for topical use

The current report will aid in understanding antifungal prescription practices. This will also form a basis for future researches and formulating guidelines for rational use of these drugs.

Published: December 2021

Se analizó la situación actual de la investigación y la educación en incendios y explosiones en Colombia desde un enfoque de ciencia e ingeniería y se hicieron recomendaciones sobre los campos que deben desarrollarse para crear una estructura investigativa y educativa que respalde los esfuerzos por prevenirlos. Dado el riesgo de incendios y explosiones, la mayoría de los países han propiciado la creación de centros de investigación y educación orientados al desarrollo científico en esta área. En Colombia tal infraestructura tiene un desarrollo apenas incipiente. La revisión de aspectos importantes en incendios y explosiones como el análisis estadístico, la caracterización fisicoquímica de sustancias inflamables, la cinética química, la combustión, la simulación, la radiación térmica, los fenómenos de pirólisis, el smouldering, la formación de hollín y de humo, la caracterización experimental, la evaluación de riesgos, la educación y otros aspectos específicos de las explosiones evidenció que en Colombia existe un buen desarrollo en la aplicación de la combustión y la pirólisis con fines comerciales, pero sin énfasis en incendios y explosiones. En las demás áreas existen antecedentes de investigación específicamente relacionados con este campo que deben reforzarse. Se recomienda la creación de programas curriculares de posgrado en ciencia y tecnología en esta área, así como el aumento de la capacidad experimental para la caracterización de sustancias inflamables, el fortalecimiento de la investigación en ciencias básicas y el desarrollo de habilidades de computación y simulación.
Antioxidantes y polifenoles totales de chocolate negro con incorporación de cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) crudo
Authors: Chacón Ortiz Clorinda Yordana , Mori Culqui Pati Llanina , Chavez Quintana Segundo Grimaldo
Published: December 2021

Cocoa and its main derivative, chocolate, are an important source of antioxidant compounds for human nutrition. Polyphenols are the main antioxidants present in chocolate and are affected by the industrialisation processes of cocoa beans. In this regard, the effect of incorporating raw cocoa during the final stage of the refining process on the antioxidant capacity and phenolic content of dark chocolate was studied. For this purpose, dark chocolates (70%) were made with the incorporation of raw cocoa paste (10, 20 and 30% w/w) in the final refining stage. The antioxidant capacity of all the treatments was determined by the DPPH (2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) method and the total phenolic content by the Folin Ciocalteu spectrophotometric method. It was observed that the incorporation of raw cocoa significantly increases the content of antioxidants and total polyphenols in chocolate. As the dose of raw cocoa increases, the antioxidant activity of the chocolate increases linearly (R2=0.996); on the other hand, the polyphenol content increases exponentially (R2=0.968). Only the lowest dose (10%) doubles the phenolic content and the ratio decreases with higher doses of incorporation. The results suggest that the incorporation of raw cocoa in the formulations makes it possible to obtain chocolates with high phenolic content, improving the technological processes for using cocoa produced in the tropical Andes to develop bioactive chocolates, in line with new consumer demand.
Adjustable Internal Shading for Home Office Daylighting in Tropical Climates
Authors: Mousavi Seyed Mohammad , Khan Tareef Hayat , Mohammadi Amin
Published: December 2021

Home-based workspaces have considerably increased all over the world. Besides, the recent outbreak of the COVID-19 disease forced many people to work from their homes. However, existing residential apartment buildings (ERABs) had been designed for accommodation but not for office works. Low-quality visual environments in ERABs, which have no shading controls on their windows, are evident in tropical climates with extremely high solar radiation. Thus, interior retrofit is significant to provide visual comfort for users in ERABs with low flexibility for modification of their facades. Different interior design variables were simulated by the Radiance-based program to analyse daylighting in a closed-plan room. Before the simulation experiments, field measurement of daylight was performed under a tropical sky to validate the results, and the findings revealed significant Pearson correlations. This paper showed that ERABs are confronting extremely high indoor daylight quantity, up to 10,228 lx, and low quality with intolerable glare. An adjustable model of internal shading, including an integrated Venetian blind with a horizontal light shelf and the window films, was proposed to improve quantitative and qualitative performances of daylighting in tropical regions. This dynamic model could be adjusted to various positions based on daylighting conditions in the buildings. By comparing the simulation results of this model with the base model, indoor illuminance levels could successfully reduce from 32% to 86%; Illuminance Uniformity Ratio (IUR) and Target Daylight Illuminance (TDI) significantly improved up to 180% and 300%, respectively; Daylight Glare Probability (DGP) and CIE Glare Index (CGI) changed from intolerable to imperceptible status. Accordingly, the proposed model can considerably improve daylight quantity and quality in the test room during different times. This study concludes that the dynamic model of internal shadings could provide efficient daylighting, by decreasing the extremely high indoor illuminance and glare in the ERABs in tropical climates.

Authors: Darwin  , Diana Novi , Mardhotillah  , Pratama Atmadian
Published: December 2021

The performance of anaerobic co-digestion of cow manure and POME was evaluated. The anaerobic composting process was carried out by using semi-continuous reactors under the mesophilic condition (35 ± 1℃). The addition of POME to the on-going anaerobic composting of cow manure was applied stepwise within a cycle of HRT (20 days). Results showed that the anaerobic co-digestion reactor could produce methane at about six times higher (7.2 L CH4) than the control reactor (1.3 L CH4). An increasing of POME loaded to the on-going anaerobic composting cow manure culture (4% to 64%) did not affect pH of the culture in which pH was still stable between 7.11 and 7.5. Assessment of biodegradation efficiency revealed that nitrogen removal of the anaerobic co-digestion reactor was six times higher (21%) than the nitrogen removal of the control reactor (3.4%). This suggested that the anaerobic co-digestion reactor performed sufficiently well in which no organic acid as well as ammonia accumulated in the reactor that could be effective to decompose the organic matters.

Published: December 2021

Many parts of the Calotropis gigantea plant are known to contain bioactive compounds, but leaves contain the most. This study aimed to determine the toxicity and antifeedant activity of C. gigantea leaves against Plutella xylostella. The study was carried out from November 2019 to July 2020. Toxicity was tested using the leaf dipping and spraying methods. Antifeedant activity was tested using a no-choice test and a choice test. Identification of the compound composition of the leaf extract of C. gigantea was carried out at the Integrated Research and Testing Laboratory, Gadjah Mada University. Extract toxicity data obtained were analyzed by Probit analysis. The results showed that the antifeedant activity of C. gigantea leaf extract a no-choice and with choice at each concentration had a significant effect on the consumption of P. xylostella larvae rations. The toxicity (LC50) of the leaf extract of C. gigantea to P. xylostella by the dipping method was 2,958 µgl-1 while the spraying application was 3.944 µgl-1. The composition of chemical compounds contained in the leaf extract of C. gigantea is saponins, alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, phenols, terpenoids. With the composition of these chemical compounds, the leaf extract of C. gigantea has the potential as a source of vegetable insecticide compounds against P. xylostella.

Ludzie nieznaczni doświadczają przemocy II wojny. O potrzebie badania świadectw bezsilności
Authors: Dauksza Agnieszka
Published: December 2021

Tekst jest analizą relacji zachodzących w wydarzeniach o charakterze przemocy masowej, zwłaszcza II wojny. Autorka przekonuje, że schemat relacji zaproponowany przez Raula Hilberga – sprawca-ofiara-bystander – utrudnia zrozumienie faktycznej złożoności aktu przemocy. Kluczowe dla wydarzenia są zmienne ramy polityczne, klasowe i symboliczne. W artykule powołana zostaje kategoria ludzi nieznacznych rozumiana jako ludzie tła, bezsilni, tak zwana większość. To oni są główną ofiarą wojny. Autorka przekonuje, że każde świadectwo wojenne łączy dwa aspekty: bezsilność/słabość jednostek wobec przytłaczających wydarzeń i sprawstwo aktu świadczenia. Rozważane są także instytucjonalne i polityczne przyczyny i konsekwencje europejskiego antysemityzmu, ich przejawy podczas II wojny, w tym relacje polsko-żydowskie.

Compensating for Stigma: Representations of Hard to Adopt Children in the "Today’s Child"
Authors: Bendo Daniella , Hepburn Taryn , Spencer Dale
Published: December 2021

We examine 4,300 advertisements of children who were featured in Today’s Child, a daily newspaper column written by Helen Allen in the Toronto Telegram and Toronto Star (1964–1982) and syndicated across North America. We highlight how stigma and values were attributed to adoptive children featured in these advertisements. Our findings reveal how the advertisements perpetuated and attached stigma to these children and how this stigma had to be compensated for the children to appeal to prospective parents. Compensatory strategies were ultimately required to manage stigma and increase the value of the featured children.
Toward a Process-Centered Account of Literate Activity in the Classroom
Authors: Braswell Gregory
Published: December 2021

This paper presents an approach to conceptualizing classroom activities that views teachers, students, and classroom objects as participating in continuous, cyclical processes of “reengaging” and “disengaging.” As an illustration, six episodes in a U.S. preschool classroom of a teacher, nine 4- to 5-year-olds, and a box (which held objects related to a featured letter of the week) were analyzed through a relational-process lens. The box, classroom members, and objects that children brought from home moved through cycles of coming together and moving apart physically and attentionally. Furthermore, these processes metaphorically pulled in other activities across time and space.

Published: December 2021

The objects of the study were plants of 14 varieties of durum wheat Triticum durum Desf., permitted for use at different times in the period from 1975 to 2014. An analysis of the elements of ear productivity in durum wheat plants of Saratov varieties under the conditions of 2020 was carried out. The varietal features of the development of the spike of the main shoot were revealed according to a number of characteristics: the number of spikelets in a spike, the number of grains in an ear, the weight of a grain, the number of ungrained and grained spikelets. The height of the plant and the length of the spike were measured. On the basis of the data obtained, the selection indices were calculated – the Canadian index, the Mexican index, the index of the linear density of the ear, the morphogenetic index of productivity. A cultivar with a balanced type of morphogenetic systems was revealed in terms of the elements of ear productivity – the number of spikelets, the number of caryopses and their weight – Luch 25. This cultivar is characterized by the most developed embryonic shoot among the studied cultivars, as well as the maximum length of the embryonic root system and a high growth rate root system of the seedling.

Authors:   Russian Research and Technological Institute of Biological Industry, Kotegov Boris G.
Published: December 2021

In 22 small anthropogenic reservoirs with an area of 0.4 to 62 ha located in the territory of the Udmurt Republic, individuals of different fish species were captured and water samples were taken in late spring for analysis of NO3–, NO2– and NH4+ content. In many reservoirs, concentrations of ammonium exceed the maximum permissible according to the fishing standards for water quality, and in some this is also the case with nitrites. Ponds with zooplanktophages (bleak Alburnus alburnus (L.) and belica Leucaspius delineates (Heckel)) present in fish communities were statistically significantly different in the increased content of total dissolved mineral nitrogen from reservoirs where these two fish species were not registered. In perch and roach reservoirs, the numerical proportion of river perch Perca fluviatilis was negatively and statistically significantly related to the level of their contamination with nitrogen ionic forms.
Accumulation of heavy metals and arsenic with medicinal herbal raw material of common shovel harvested in Voronezh region
Authors:   Voronezh State University, Dyakova Nina A.
Published: December 2021

The Voronezh region is traditionally the most important area of crop production and agriculture. The purpose of the research was to study the contamination with heavy metals of medicinal plant raw materials of the Voronezh region using the example of the roots of ordinary burdock, prepared in urbo- and agro-ecosystems, which have various anthropogenic effects on themselves. The accumulation of heavy metals (lead, mercury, cadmium, nickel, copper, zinc, cobalt, chromium) and arsenic in 51 samples of raw materials was studied. By comparing the heavy metal content in the upper soil layers of the region and the content of these elements in the roots of the bladder, it can be assumed that there are significant physiological barriers to the accumulation of ecotoxicants in the roots of the bladder, which is especially noticeable for elements such as lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, cobalt and chromium. At the same time, this type of medicinal vegetal raw material is able to selectively concentrate some heavy metals included in the active centers of enzyme systems (copper and zinc). Thus, for an ordinary bladder under conditions of anthropogenic load, an edaphotype is formed, which is as a result of selection in conditions of anthropogenic pollution of the external environment and the manifestation of adaptation to these conditions.
Modern socio-cultural communications: Transformations in the digital age
Authors:   Saratov State University, Listvina Evgeniya V.
Published: December 2021

The article deals with the problem of transformation of modern communication processes caused by the formation of a new digital society and its influence on all aspects of social and cultural life. Communication becomes diverse, rhizomatically branched, offering an interweaving of channels and means of communication, a multivariate effectiveness and a change in the actual communicants, communication actors. It is noted that long-term social ties cease to be dominant. A qualitatively new environment, called the media space, lays down a new format of communication. Information is perceived in increasingly shorter blocks. The essence and depth of communicative interaction is flattened. People are increasingly communicating taking into account specific brief cases or events, uniting for their implementation in rapidly disintegrating fragile social formations. Horizontal socio-cultural ties and social stigmergia are being strengthened. There is a playization, which is becoming one of the characteristic features of modern communication. There is a leveling of communications, interactions of different levels and different tasks. The author notes that such changes contribute to the disappearance of hierarchy, multi-level, highly contextual interaction from the space and at the same time strengthen the emotional component of communication. All this creates conditions for qualitative changes in the meanings and methods of social interaction.
Los grupos cooperativos. Las especialidades del régimen de consolidación fiscal
Authors: González-Perabá Miralles Pedro J.
Published: December 2021

Los grupos cooperativos constituyen una de las manifestaciones del principio de intercooperación. Si los grupos de sociedades se basan en la idea del control que una sociedad ejerce sobre otra u otras, los grupos cooperativos se basan en la existencia de una unidad de dirección por parte de la entidad cabeza del grupo, que deriva de un acuerdo de voluntades entre las cooperativas que lo integran. Esta diferente naturaleza da lugar a importantes especialidades en el régimen jurídico de los grupos cooperativos, que se presentan tanto en su regulación mercantil como tributaria. En este artículo analizaremos las especialidades que presenta el régimen de consolidación fiscal de los grupos cooperativos, tanto en la normativa de Territorio Común como de los Territorios Históricos del País Vasco, frente al régimen de consolidación fiscal contenido en la normativa general del Impuesto sobre Sociedades.

La cooperación en las cooperativas de iniciativa social para maximizar su posicionamiento en el ámbito asistencial
Authors: Rius Coma Martí
Published: December 2021

La prestación de servicios sociales públicos por entidades de naturaleza privada en régimen de gestión indirecta se encuentra en un momento trascendental en cuanto a la definición de los nuevos sistemas de colaboración público-privada que permitan afrontar los nuevos retos en el ámbito asistencial. Tradicionalmente, las cooperativas de iniciativa social han sido un agente protagonista en el actual modelo asistencial, garantizando el servicio en periodos en los que los poderes públicos carecían de instrumentos y recursos suficientes para dar cobertura al conjunto de la ciudadanía. En este contexto, las cooperativas de iniciativa social han venido colaborando de forma continuada con otras entidades del tercer sector. No obstante, como norma general, dicha colaboración se ha limitado a su integración en estructuras territoriales junto a dichas entidades sin desarrollar una auténtica estrategia propia de colaboración con otras cooperativas de iniciativa social. Así las cosas, en un momento tan trascendental para el futuro de estas cooperativas que desarrollan su actividad en el ámbito asistencial, la cooperación con otras cooperativas de iniciativa social es fundamental para garantizar su mejor posicionamiento frente a otras entidades lucrativas y no lucrativas ante la nueva configuración de la colaboración público-privada en la prestación de servicios sociales. Todo ello, a través de la puesta en valor de algunas de sus características intrínsecas diferenciales, como su participación democrática o su mayor experiencia en gestión.

La pandemia del nuevo corona virus, además de quitar la vida de millones de personas, dejó muchas más en condiciones de miserabilidad extrema, poniendo en riesgo el futuro próximo de entornos que no poseen condiciones de reaccionar ante la crisis. Con la economía instable, sin trabajo y ningún dinero, personas pasan hambre y muchas familias quedan destrozadas. La cooperación entre cooperativas, entonces, sirve de un modelo de actuación para orientar el poder público brasileño en el proceso de intervención social. Conjugar fuerzas, a través de la actuación con la participación de la iniciativa privada, puede ser una estrategia de actuar directamente con las personas carentes, llevándosela los medios adecuados para que perciban que ellas propias pueden crear sus propias alternativas de desarrollo económico, para transformar sus vidas.

Diante do contexto educacional atual, o uso de simuladores é uma saída para a dinamicidade das aulas online, em formato remoto. Com o intuito de tornar o estudo investigativo, desenvolveu-se, no Componente Curricular Regular (CCR) de Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação no Ensino de Ciências e Química (TIC), um guia de atividades utilizando o simulador PhET Colorado para ser aplicado em um ambiente de sala de aula virtual e/ou presencial. Escolheu-se para a elaboração do guia o conteúdo químico sobre Produtos, Reagentes e Excessos, o qual os demais colegas da turma responderam, entre eles, alunos de Química e Física, ambos os cursos de licenciatura utilizando a técnica P.O.E (Predizer, Observar e Explicar). A partir das respostas obtidas nos guias enviados e também pela análise através da Teoria da Mediação Cognitiva – TMC, observamos mudanças de alguns drives por parte dos licenciandos, o que concretiza o P.O.E e também enfatiza a autonomia discente por meio de simulações.

The current stage of development of public relations is characterized by active digitalization processes. Law, being an important regulator of public relations, as well as other legal phenomena, including legal relations, are influenced by digital technologies. In the article author discusses theoretical and legal approaches to the digitalization of legal phenomena (using the example of tax legal relations). The features of the processes of digitalization of tax legal relations are investigated, the prerequisites and content of digitalization of tax legal relations are determined.

Published: December 2021

In this article, we prove that initial value problem associated to the non-homogeneous KdV-Kuramoto-Sivashinsky (KdV-K-S) equation in periodic Sobolev spaces has a local solution in with and the solution has continuous dependence with respect to the initial data and the non-homogeneous part of the problem. We do this in an intuitive way using Fourier theory and introducing a inspired by the work of Iorio [2] and Ayala and Romero [8]. Also, we prove the uniqueness solution of the homogeneous and non-homogeneous KdV-K-S equation, using its dissipative property, inspired by the work of Iorio [2] and Ayala and Romero [9].

Published: December 2021

In this paper, we introduce the notion of generalized rectangular metric spaces which extends rectangular metric spaces introduced by Branciari. Analogues of the some well-known fixed point theorems are proved in this space. With an example, it is shown that a generalized rectangular metric space is neither a G-metric space nor a rectangular metric space. Our results generalize many known results in fixed point theory.

Geometric distribution belongs to the family of discrete distribution that deals with the count of trail needed for first occurrence or success of any event. However, little attention has been paid in applying the GLM for the geometric distribution, which has a very simple form for its probability mass function with a single parameter. In this study, an attempt has been made to introduce geometric regression for modelling the count data. We have illustrated the suitability of the geometric regression model for analyzing the count data on time to first antenatal care visit that displayed under-dispersion, and the results were compared with Poisson and negative binomial regressions. We conclude that the geometric regression model may provide a flexible model for fitting count data sets which may present over-dispersion or under-dispersion, and the model may serve as an alternative model to the very familiar Poisson and negative binomial models for modelling count data.

Authors:   Main Campus SKUAST-J, Rather Khalid Ul Islam , Kadilar Cem ,   Hacettepe University
Published: December 2021

We propose a new exponential type estimator for the population mean by adapting the estimator suggested by Kadilar [12] to the Ranked Set Sampling (RSS). Theoretically and numerically, we show that the proposed exponential type estimator is more efficient than the classical ratio estimator in the RSS and the estimator of Kadilar et al. [11].

This study examined the impact of electronic payment system on the profitability of commercial banks in Nigeria. Pooled OLS and Panel regression models were fitted on the data extracted from the banks’ annual reports, Nigerian interbank settlement scheme, and central bank of Nigeria website. The assessment of the contribution of the various electronic payment systems considered were measured using Breusch and Pagan Lagrangian Multiplier (LM) Test, the Hausman Test, Stationarity Test, The Schwarz Criterion, and the Akaike Information Criterion. Results obtained showed that the random effect model was more appropriate than the fixed effect model for all the electronic payment systems considered in this study. Furthermore, it was discovered that there exists a positive relationship between the electronic payment systems and profitability of the commercial banks in Nigeria.
В.А. Сухомлинский: от сельской школы до глобальной гуманистической педагогики
Authors: Košel’ Vladimir , Nakonečnaâ Mariâ , Papuča Nikolaj
Published: December 2021

Педагогика В.А. Сухомлинского (1918–1970) представляет собой определенную систему. В.А. Сухомлинский работал в многих сельських школах, с 1948 года руководил Павлышской школой, был педагогом-новатором. Педагогическую позицию В.А. Сухомлинского характеризует прежде всего личностный подход к воспитанникам. Суть этого подхода отражает не только взаимообусловленность разнообразных воспитательных воздействий на каждого ребенка и направленность воспитательного процесса на формирование творческой личности, обладающей активной общественной позицией и высокой нравственной ответственностью, но и воспитание через коллектив и в коллективе, когда педагогическое воздействие на личность и коллектив осуществляется в одном приеме. Была создана уникальная, не имеющая мировых аналогов, „Школа для родителей”. В этой „Школе” не только читались лекции на различные темы, но и велись доверительные беседы, в ходе которых происходило взаимообогащение опытом обучения и воспитания детей. Таким образом, педагогика В.А. Сухомлинского поднимает проблему развития личности на глобально-гуманистический уровень, в котором соединяются непосредственные и опосредованные влияния на подрастающего человека.
Ruch ludowy w Drugiej Rzeczypospolitej na kartach wybranych szkolnych podręczników do nauczania historii. Casus opracowań dla klas pierwszych szkół ponadgimnazjalnych
Authors: Białokur Marek
Published: December 2021

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie ruchu chłopskiego w II Rzeczypospolitej w wybranych szkolnych podręcznikach do nauczania historii w klasach pierwszych szkół ponadgimnazjalnych. Na podstawie podręczników uczniowie mogą dowiedzieć się, że ruch ludowy powstał w Galicji pod koniec XIX wieku. W II Rzeczypospolitej istniało kilka partii nazywanych Polskim Stronnictwem Ludowym. Przez wiele lat główną partią było Polskie Stronnictwo Ludowe „Piast”. Po odzyskaniu przez Polskę niepodległości w 1918 r. działacze tego ugrupowania weszli w skład kilku rządów. Tworzyli między innymi koalicyjny rząd Chjeno-Piasta w 1923. Jej głównymi politykami byli Wincenty Witos i Maciej Rataj. Drugą co do wielkości partią, o której w analizowanych podręcznikach jest dużo informacji, było Polskie Stronnictwo Ludowe „Wyzwolenie”, które powstało w 1915 r. W porównaniu z Polskim Stronnictwem Ludowym „Piast” było partią lewicową. PSL ,,Wyzwolenie” poparło przewrót majowy w 1926 r., do którego autorów szybko się jednak zdystansowało i przyłączyło do opozycji. W 1931 r. centroprawicowy „Piast”, centrolewicowe „Wyzwolenie” oraz lewicowe Stronnictwo Chłopskie połączyły się tworząc Stronnictwo Ludowe. Obraz ruchu ludowego na kartach podręczników szkolnych jest wielowymiarowy i pozwala uczniom poznać jego głównych przedstawicieli oraz program polityczny.
Stan kultury na wsi dolnośląskiej w latach 1945–1974
Authors: Merta-Staszczak Adriana
Published: December 2021

Tzw. „rewolucja kulturalna” lub też „walka o kulturę” była jednym z najważniejszych haseł Polski Ludowej dotyczących zrównywania poziomu wsi i miasta. Oznaczało to wspieranie i propagowanie artystycznych zespołów ludowych, powszechne powstawanie bibliotek i punktów czytelniczych, domów kultury i kin. Oficjalnymi założeniami prowadzonych działań była m.in. walka z analfabetyzmem czy zachęcanie do czytelnictwa. Jednakże, tworzone jednostki kultury oraz związane z nimi wydarzenia kulturalne miały przede wszystkim cele propagandowe, a treść występów, filmów czy zbiory bibliotek poddawane były cenzurze.
