Authors: Meneses Luci Souza de , Barros Betijane Soares de
Published: November 2022

O que realmente sabemos sobre as populações indígenas do Brasil? Que informações precisamos ter para evitar a repetição de estereótipos, preconceitos e estereótipos? Como podemos moldar os olhos de nossos alunos para que eles cresçam entendendo as diferenças entre os muitos sistemas culturais? Que informações podemos transmitir a essas pessoas? O que podemos aprender com eles? Como incluí-los em nossa brasilidade? Por fim, como podemos nos chamar de brasileiros de verdade se ignoramos suas trajetórias, lutas e resistências? Podemos nos chamar de brasileiros sem nosso povo indígena? Estas são algumas das questões que todo educador, indígena e não indígena, deve fazer durante sua prática pedagógica.

Events of the Russian Civil War in Abkhazia 1918–1921 in the Manuscript Sources of the Estonians from Abkhazia
Authors: Jürgenson Aivar
Published: November 2022

A number of Estonian settlements were formed in Abkhazia in the 1880s. This article uses archival sources, written memoirs, diaries and secondary literature to focus on the experiences of Estonians in Abkhazia during the Russian Civil War until the establishment of Soviet power in 1921. The article discusses what role the proclamation of the Republic of Estonia played for the settlers, and what the change of status from an internal migrant to an emigrant meant for the Estonian community in Abkhazia, but also the political opportunities that the establishment of Estonia as an independent republic brought to compatriots living in the diaspora.
Modernising Security: Vernacular (In)securities in the Public Space of Tbilisi after the Rose Revolution
Authors: Khomeriki Tinatin
Published: November 2022

This article explores the perceptions of personal (in)security in the public space of Tbilisi, Georgia following the Rose Revolution in 2003. Based on the concept of vernacular security, I suggest a bottom-up approach to the subject, focusing on its culturally and socially specific character and observing the production of the discourses of (in)security at the intersecting notions of modernisation/backwardness, formality/informality, criminality/lawfulness, and the West/Russia, reflecting post-revolutionary political, social, and cultural transformations. While the government of the Rose Revolution introduced full-scale reforms formalising security in Georgia, the article reveals that citizens’ perceptions of personal (in)security in the public space are often ambiguous and even self-contradicting, as they waver between the notions of formality and informality, often interpreting the same phenomenon as a source of both their security and insecurity.
Reconstructing a National Hero in the Post-colonial Memory Politics of Abkhazia: Debates over Kelesh Bey Shervashidze
Authors: Epadze Ketevan
Published: November 2022

This article analyzes the reconstruction of the image of Prince Kelesh Bey Shervashidze (b. 1747) in the memory politics of Abkhazia through the prism of cultural resistance, from the perestroika period up to the present day. It argues that Abkhaz politicians use a dual approach to constructing the figure of Kelesh Bey. On the one hand, an anti-colonial narrative of the prince in opposition to the Russian and Soviet colonial system is created, and on the other hand, a more traditional colonial narrative aligned with Russia’s patronage of Abkhazia’s unrecognised statehood is also encouraged. However, the controversy over these discourses is formal in nature. The only real purpose of reviving the Russian and Soviet readings of Kelesh Bey is to hide Abkhaz cultural resistance from Russia, owing to the latter’s own dualistic status as embodying both Abkhazia’s former imperial center and its modern patron.

Background: Autism is proposed to be characterised by an atypical balance of cortical excitation and inhibition (E/I). However, most studies have examined E/I alterations in older autistic individuals, meaning that findings could in part reflect homeostatic compensation. To assess the directionality of effects, it is necessary to examine alterations in E/I balance early in the lifespan before symptom emergence. Recent explanatory frameworks have argued it is also necessary to consider how early risk features interact with later developing modifier factors to predict autism outcomes.Method: We indexed E/I balance in early infancy by extracting the aperiodic exponent of the slope of the electroencephalogram (EEG) power spectrum (‘1/f’). To validate our index of E/I balance we tested for differences in the aperiodic exponent in 10-month-old infants with (n=22) and without (n=27) Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), a condition thought to be characterised by alterations to cortical inhibition. We then tested for E/I alterations in a larger heterogeneous longitudinal cohort of infants with and without a family history of neurodevelopmental conditions (n=150) who had been followed to early childhood. We tested the relevance of alterations in E/I balance and our proposed modifier, executive attention, by assessing whether associations between 10-month aperiodic slope and 36-month neurodevelopmental traits were moderated by 24-month executive attention. Analyses adjusted for age at EEG assessment, sex and number of EEG trials. Results: Infants with NF1 were characterised by a higher aperiodic exponent, indicative of greater inhibition, supporting our infant measure of E/I. Longitudinal analyses showed a significant interaction between aperiodic slope and executive attention, such that higher aperiodic exponents predicted greater autistic traits in childhood, but only in infants who also had weaker executive functioning abilities. Limitations: The current study relied on parent report of infant executive functioning-type abilities; future work is required to replicate effects with objective measures of cognition. Conclusions: Results suggest alterations in E/I balance are on the developmental pathway to autism outcomes, and that higher executive functioning abilities may buffer the impact of early cortical atypicalities, consistent with proposals that stronger executive functioning abilities may modify the impact of a wide range of risk factors.
Ayahuasca Self Consciousness and Mysticism
Authors: Savoldi Robson , Roazzi Antonio
Published: November 2022

Recent studies have assessed that the mystical alterations in sense of self are the best candidates for improvements in self-consciousness and the therapeutic potentials of ayahuasca’s rituals. Here, we examine the predictive relations of self-consciousness by mysticism and ego-dissolution self-reports. A cross-sectional study was drawn to investigate which self-consciousness traits – private self, public self, social anxiety, self-reflection, insight, rumination, and reflection – could be predicted by the Hood Mysticism Scale (HMS) and Ego-Dissolution Inventory (EDI-8), as well as which psychological variables could be predicted by categorical variables regard ayahuasca use – frequency of use, self-related common dose and religion time – in a sample of ayahuasca religious users. A significant positive relation was found between HMS and adaptive self-consciousness traits, apart from insight, while a negative relation was found between HMS and maladaptive self-consciousness traits. Likewise, EDI-8 was a positive predictor of adaptative reflexive self-consciousness traits. Ayahuasca frequency was a positive predictor of public self, and religion time was a positive predictor of insight and a negative predictor of ego-dissolution. The common dose was a positive predictor of private and reflexive self, and a negative predictor of social anxiety, however dose effects on these self-consciousness traits were mediated by mystical experience. Our results suggest that the ceremonial use of ayahuasca may have positive value through mysticism, affecting different dimensions of self-consciousness. The present findings thus highlight the potential self-consciousness benefits of ayahuasca.
The roles of sensory hyper and hyposensitivity in infancy in understanding later anxiety and emerging autistic traits
Authors: Narverkar Nisha , Carter Leno Virginia Madeleine , Pasco Greg , Johnson Mark Henry , Jones Emily J.H. , Charman Tony , Team BASIS/STAARS
Published: November 2022

Background: Existing evidence indicates that atypical sensory processing is a core characteristic of autism, and has been linked to both anxiety and repetitive behaviours. However, most work has used cross-sectional designs and not considered the differential roles of hyper and hyposensitivity to sensory inputs, and is thus limited in specificity. Methods:161 infant-siblings participated in a longitudinal study. All participants either had at least one older-sibling with a diagnosis of autism (elevated-likelihood-autism, EL-ASD; n=80), or a first degree relative with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (elevated-likelihood-ADHD, EL-ADHD; n=31) or both (EL-ASD/ADHD, n=21)), or had no known immediate family members with a diagnosis of autism or ADHD (typical-likelihood, TL, n=29). Parents rated infant manifestations of anxiety (fearfulness) using the Infant Behavior Questionnaire at 10 and 14 months, and the Early Childhood Behavioral Questionnaire at 24 months, and sensory hyposensitivity and hypersensitivity at 10, 14 and 24 months using the Infant Toddler Sensory Profile. Domains of autistic traits (restrictive and repetitive behaviours; RRB, and social communication impairments, SCI) were assessed using the parent-rated Social Responsiveness Scale at 36 months. Cross-lagged models tested 1) paths from fearfulness and hypersensitivity at 10-24-months, and between fearfulness and hypersensitivity to later autism traits, 2) the specificity of hypersensitivity effects by the inclusion of hyposensitivity as a correlated predictor. Results: Hypersensitivity at 14 months was positively associated with fearfulness at 24 months, and hypersensitivity at 24 months was positively associated with SCI and RRB at 36 months. When hyposensitivity was included in the model, paths between hypersensitivity and anxiety remained, but paths between hypersensitivity and autistic traits became non-significant. Conclusions: Hypersensitivity may be one of the earliest predictors of infant anxiety. Although sensory atypicalites in infancy are associated with later autism traits, given the overlap between hypo and hypersensitivity, more research is needed to understand the specificity of effects.

Authors:   Department of Organic Chemistry, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh city, Nguyen Qui Hien
Published: November 2022

Bisphosphine monoxides are an emerging class of monophosphine ligands that have found their use in many enantioselective protocols, especially in the field of asymmetric C-H functionalization, yet their synthesis is usually multistep and chemically-wasteful. This report shows a one-step modified protocol based on Grushin’s mono-oxidation of axially chiral bisphosphine ligands to form axially chiral bisphosphine monoxide ligands with biphenyl and 1,1’-binaphthyl scaffolds, by changing the reaction conditions as well as careful monitoring of the reaction progress by NMR spectroscopy. The modified protocol provides a quick way to prepare a series of chiral bisphosphine monoxide ligands for ligand screening in asymmetric methodological researches.

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a widely used plastic due to its good mechanical properties and thermal resistance. However, despite of its advantages, the persistent nature of PVC makes it challenging to dispose when released into the environment, thereby causing harm to human health and the environment. Recent research has revealed that specialised marine microbes (such as bacteria, fungi, and actinomycetes) have the potential to biodegrade plastics and utilise many of them as the sole source of carbon. In this study, PVC degrading bacteria were enriched and isolated from plastic waste contaminated coastal areas in Vietnam. From 18 isolates of bacteria, the authors selected the VK3 strain capable of degrading PVC and used this material as the sole carbon source after 8 weeks of testing. The results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that this bacterial strain has 99% similarity with Alcanivorax sp. The changes in surface structure and functional groups of PVC was also demonstrated by Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). These results revealed promising evidences of PVC degradation by marine bacteria.

The subject of the research is theoretical approaches to the application of methods of establishing the compliance of the conditions of controlled operations with the principle of "outstretched hand". The purpose of the article is to carry out an analysis of the existing methods of establishing the compliance of the conditions of economic transactions with the principle of "stretched hand" to prevent financial risks for economic entities based on a systematic approach. Method or methodology of research. The article uses methods of scientific abstraction, system method, methods of analysis and synthesis. Results of the article. The article provides an in-depth analysis of the application of methods of establishing compliance with the conditions of economic transactions to the "arm's length" principle, which makes it possible to prevent financial risks for business entities. At the same time, for the possibility of practical and timely application of the specified methods, there is a need to take organizational and management actions to provide tax and financial authorities with access to worldwide electronic services, price information resources, etc. on a permanent basis. Field of application of results. The results of the research can be used in the process of modernization and implementation of the tax policy of the state. Conclusions. The practical application of the methods of establishing the compliance of the conditions of controlled operations with the "arm's length" principle is quite difficult. At the same time, under the current legislation, business entities are partially limited in their free choice of the method of establishing the compliance of the conditions of a specific controlled transaction with the "arm's length" principle. However, the legislator has worked out a detailed algorithm regarding the grounds for switching from the first to the fifth method, which may prevent litigation between companies and regulatory bodies in the future.

Issues of social policy are the most important direction of state regulation of the economy, aimed at ensuring the well-being and comprehensive development of its citizens and society in general. After all, the social sphere not only regulates the employment processes of the population, but also provides work for millions of people in the country. According to statistical data, such branches of the social complex as health care, education, trade, housing and communal services, and others provide jobs for up to 20% of the economically active population, and in economically developed countries, up to 70% of all workers are employed in the service sector. The issue gained special importance during the invasion of the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine. Among the major tasks of the social policy of the state are: harmonization of social relations, coordination of interests and needs of individual population groups; creation of conditions for improving the material well-being of citizens; provision of social protection of all citizens and their basic socio-economic rights guaranteed by the state; ensuring rational employment of citizens in the war and post-war periods in Ukraine; development of branches of the social complex; ensuring the ecological stability of the country. The setting of the tasks consists in determining the basic principles of the development of social policy, as well as the development of national policy directions in the social sphere on an innovative basis. The purpose of the research is to determine the features of social policy on an innovative basis, taking into account the features of international experience. The main methods used during the research are analysis, statistical, comparison, regulatory and legal regulation. Results and discussion. The international experience of the peculiarities of the development of social policy in the countries of the European Union is summarized. The positive aspects of the development of the employed population are determined, taking into account the peculiarities of the development of innovations and the factors that restrain their development. An important development is the development of national policy directions in the social sphere on an innovative basis. The field of application of research results is socio-economic development.

The uncontrolled development of morphology at the stage of formation of biodegradable compositions based on synthetic and natural polymers limits the possibility of achieving satisfactory physical and mechanical and operational characteristics. In the present work, to achieve finely dispersed mixture morphology, an approach was proposed for reactive mixing of functionalized polyethylene with gelatin to form a linear low density polyethylene-grafted-maleic anhydride and gelatin (LLDPE-g-MA/GEL) graft copolymer. Using the selective extraction of the mixture components, we determined amount of graft copolymer LLDPE-g-MA/GEL, free gelatin, mechanical and thermal properties, as well as biodegradability data. It was found that as the amount of maleic groups in the polyethylene macromolecule increased, the amount of graft copolymer increased, and an increase in the content of gelatin in the blend led to a noticeable increase in the elastic modulus, tensile strength, and a decrease in elongation at break. Due to the degradation of gelatin, the thermal stability of the composite (initial temperature) decreased with increasing gelatin content. The maximum rate of destruction of the graft copolymer in the temperature range of 400–500 ºC increased markedly with an increase in the content of gelatin. It was found that the rate of biodegradability would increase with an increase in the content of gelatin in the blend; the maximum level of degradation was observed during the first 10 days and was more than 50 %. It was found that the maximum degree of grafting LLDPE-g-MA and gelatin to each other depended on the amount of maleic anhydride in the graft copolymer. The maximum degree of grafting was ob-served to be higher with increasing amount of maleic anhydride in the composites.

A series of new ligands — N-acyl-N'-mesylhydrazines (MSH) — of the general formula RC(O)NHNHSO2CH3 has been obtained and considered as reagents for ionic flotation (IF) of non-ferrous metals (M(II). Reagents with a radical length of C6H13 and above form hardly soluble complexes with M(II) so it is possible to implement a kind of the ionic flotation techniques — “precipitate flotation”. The ranges of pH values of the most complete precipitation of cations from solutions have been determined. Precipitates of the metal complexes were isolated; their composition was confirmed by IR spectroscopy and elemental anal-ysis. The conditional values of the solubility product (SP) of the complexes [M(HL)2] were calculated. The dependence –lg SP = 11.8 + 0.61N is fulfilled for the MSH series and Cu(II) ions. The surface-active proper-ties of compounds with R > C6H13 were established. The reagents with optimal radical length for ionic flota-tion were selected. The ionic flotation of non-ferrous metals with N-nonanoyl-N'-mesylhydrazine was carried out. The up to 95–99 % recovery of metal ions, separation of copper and associated metal ions in diapason of pH 5–6.5 was shown to be possible.

War is an extraordinary, shameful and bloody phenomenon. During the wars that were fought in different countries of the world, people faced sexual violence from their enemy. Unfortunately, this situation currently exists in Ukraine. During the war launched by Russia on February 24, 2022, civilians are killed by firearms, and thousands of public infrastructure facilities (schools, hospitals, kindergartens, social security services, shopping centers, churches, etc.), high-rise and private buildings are destroyed.In addition to firearms, Russian troops-aggressor also use rape as weapon. There are several explanations why sexual violence is a weapon, and they are presented in this article. Rape and violence perpetrated by aggressors during war are often aimed at terrorizing the population, destroying families, humiliating soldiers whose women and children are left behind, and, as the war in Ukraine has shown, abuse and humiliate even elderly men and women, destroy families and communities. In some countries, there were even ideas that rape will change the ethnic composition of the next generation. Crimes related to rape and other types of sexual violence are usually latent. Victims do not want to talk about it, do not want to testify for many reasons: re-traumatization, stigmatization, and publicity. But evidence of Russian war crimes in Ukraine is collected by the International Criminal Court in The Hague, so such crimes must be registered. Victims must have a very strong motivation to testify. In some countries, it is already possible to receive compensation for causing damage. This is a tool that, on the one hand, can stimulate testimony, registration of a sexual crime, and on the other hand, to receive material compensation that will improve the standard of living. Social workers, together with other specialists, must advocate for the possibility of receiving reparations for victims in Ukraine.The article contains an answer to why it is important to document the facts of violence and rape, and which mechanisms of assistance exist in the world for victims. The article highlights importance of the work of specialists, namely social workers, psychologists and lawyers, in providing assistance to victims.This article focuses on the work of social workers in the situation of sexual violence during the war, and points out that, in addition to working on improving the provision of assistance to victims, social workers should learn the experience gained in the war situation in Ukraine and the experience of other countries.

Buscou-se analisar a relação entre contabilidade e as capacidades de absorção (potencial e realizada) no processo de sucessão familiar e a continuidade da atividade rural. Adotou-se uma pesquisa aplicada, quantitativa, descritiva e de levantamento. O embasamento teórico é fundamentado na Contabilidade, Sucessão Familiar e Capacidades de Absorção. Os dados foram obtidos por meio da aplicação de questionário com produtores rurais da região central do Rio Grande do Sul. A amostra final é composta por 200 respondentes. A análise dos dados compreendeu estatísticas descritivas e de correlação. Os resultados apontam que os respondentes acreditam que a sucessão é um processo que ocorre de forma gradual, quando o sucessor estiver apto para assumir as responsabilidades, porém, ainda não possuem sucessores definidos. Além disso, os produtores rurais percebem que a contabilidade propicia um maior conhecimento para a tomada de decisão. Ainda, a maioria afirma que há reconhecimento rápido das mudanças nas possibilidades técnicas e aplica informações externas objetivando contribuir para a lucratividade das propriedades rurais. A correlação demonstrou associações significativas e positivas entre os constructos analisados. A principal contribuição do estudo reside em reduzir a lacuna na literatura científica sobre contabilidade, capacidades de absorção, sucessão familiar e continuidade da atividade rural.

Kalkınma planları, uzun vadeli bir perspektif ile ülkenin ulusal kalkınma vizyonunu belirten ve küresel düzeyde dengelenmesine yönelik hazırlanan yasal belgelerdir. Yükseköğretim, kalkınma planlarında birtakım hedeflerin belirlendiği ve politikaların geliştirildiği eğitim kademesi olarak yer almaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, kalkınma planlarında yükseköğretime yüklenen rollerin incelenmesidir. Araştırmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden biri olan doküman analizi kullanılmıştır. Türkiye’de kabul edilen on bir kalkınma planına araştırma kapsamında yer verilmiştir. Çalışmanın veri kaynaklarını Devlet Planlama Teşkilatı, Kalkınma Bakanlığı ve Cumhurbaşkanlığı Strateji ve Bütçe Başkanlığı oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma bulgularına dayanarak tüm kalkınma planlarındaki yükseköğretimin rolleri 3 tema ve 8 kategori ile eşleştirilmiştir. Temalar; “kurumsal, eğitimsel, toplumsal” şeklinde oluşturulmuştur. Yükseköğretimin tematik olarak en fazla “kurumsal” ve en az “toplumsal” rolüne ilişkin özellikleri içerdiği belirlenmiştir. Kategoriler; “yapı, mevzuat, istihdam, eğitim-öğretim, araştırma, iş birliği, teşvik, topluma hizmet” şeklinde oluşturulmuştur. Yükseköğretimin kategorik olarak en fazla “yapı” ve “eğitim-öğretim” rolüne, en az “araştırma” rolüne ilişkin özellikleri içerdiği belirlenmiştir.
Kadın Odaklı Habercilik Perspektifinden Savaş Temalı Haberlerde Ukraynalı Kadınlar: Anadolu Ajansı Üzerinden Bir Analiz

Published: November 2022

Medya insanların olayları anlaması, yorumlaması ve aktarması noktasında belirleyici bir rol oynamaktadır. Toplumda zayıf-güçlü, iyi-kötü, güzel-çirkin gibi zıtlıklar üzerinden kalıplar ortaya koyarak mevcut ön yargıların sistem içerisinde dolaşımına hizmet etmektedir. Söz konusu savaş yerindeki ya da savaştan kaçan kadınlar olduğunda da belirli pencerelerden sınıflandırmalar yapılmakta; bu içerikteki haberler sık sık fedakârlık, annelik, güçsüzlük ve zayıflık temaları üzerinden kurgulanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada Rusya Ukrayna savaşı, kadın odaklı habercilik bakış açısıyla irdelenmiştir. Çalışma kapsamında Anadolu Ajansı’nın resmi web sitesinde 24 Şubat 2022 tarihi ile 24 Haziran 2022 tarihleri arasında yayınlanan “Ukraynalı Kadın” konulu haberler içerik analizi ile incelenmiştir. Çalışmanın sonucunda kadınlara ilişkin haberlerin sınırlı sayıda olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca kadınlar en fazla “mağdur” olarak ön plana çıkarılmış; “acı, gözyaşı, şiddet, korku” gibi ifadelerle temsil edilmiştir. Bu kalıplaşmış yargıların dolaşıma yeniden sokulmasıyla da toplumsal cinsiyet eşitsizliğinin yeniden vurgulandığı belirlenmiştir.
