Polish Immigrants in the Social and Cultural Landscape of Reykjavik
Authors: Budyta-Budzyńska Małgorzata
Published: January 2022

The presence of immigrants has the potential to produce significant changes in the social and cultural fabric of a city, although they may equally well remain essentially invisible. In the present article I discuss the presence of Polish immigrants in the urban space of Reykjavik. Since the first decade of the 21st century, Poles have been the largest non-native nationality in the island, this being the fourth such case in the world – aside from Norway, Ireland and the United Kingdom. The numerical dominance of Poles among immigrants to Iceland is such that immigrant, or foreigner, is frequently considered as synonymous to Pole. Does this predominance of Poles among immigrants translate to their visibility in the urban space? In what ways do they mark their presence? In the article I analyze the presence and activity of Poles in the spheres of culture, local politics, business and sports. I describe Polish organisations and associations, and events held by the Polish diaspora. Some of those are focused on cultivating the culture of the country of origin and on integration within the group, thus being typical Oddiseyan associations; the purpose of others is to facilitate the adaptation of Poles to the host society, and to promote Polish culture within the host society– thus they are reminiscent of Rubiconic associations, to refer to Daniel Joly’s wellknown classification. In the article I consider the question: which among the Polish initiatives have gained visibility among the hosts and have the potential to become relatively permanent fixtures of the cultural map of Reykjavik. Is the potential of the Polish diaspora in terms of organisation and culture sufficient to reach a wide audience of Icelanders and foreigners of other nationalities, and to gain their interest?
Differentiation of Preferences Regarding the Places of Studying, Their Changes and Relationships with Mobility Decisions of the European Youth
Authors: Padło Tomasz
Published: January 2022

The article presents the results of the research on preferences regarding the places of study among young Europeans, the changes of the preferences and the relationships between the preferences and the decisions. The research was carried out among secondary school students in seven European cities in 2005–2007 and again in 2015–2018 (n=1577). The research showed a strong positive correlation between the preferences of the places of residence and the places of studying (r = 0.85). At the same time, stronger declared mobility among young inhabitants of Western Europe and the impact of economic barriers on decisions concerning studying among the youth from less developed European countries were proven. Minor changes in the preferences of the places of study over the past decade have been shown, along with the Cold War division of Europe, constantly influencing the imaginations.
Integration of Migrants in a Major Polish City. Kraków’s Public Cultural Institutions and the “New Ukrainians”
Authors: Mucha Janusz
Published: January 2022

The article deals with the integration processes of Polish native inhabitants of Kraków and the newest (since 2014) migrants from Ukraine (70–100,000 in a city of about 800,000). One of the main actors in these processes are municipal public cultural institutions.

Using a number of methods, the needs of the Ukrainian population in Kraków were assessed and the offer of the local public institutions was studied. A focus group, IDIs, analysis of websites, Facebook profiles, and participatory observation were used. A basic problem for migrants is finding information on the local cultural offer presented in Ukrainian or Russian. Kraków does much to include foreigners into its social life. However, still closer integration, taking advantage of the potential of migrants, would be instrumental to making their life better and to making the city even more attractive to its Polish and non-Polish inhabitants and tourists. Premises and other resources at the disposal of Ukrainian private institutions are too small for large-scale cultural activity. Kraków’s cafes and pubs help, organizing concerts and meet-the-author and meet-the-artist sessions, but these events could be better organized by public cultural institutions, inviting much larger audiences. Sometimes leading Ukrainian artists visit Kraków and turn to municipal institutions looking for support and employment, only to find neither. It would be very beneficial for the city to monitor these initiatives, via Kraków’s Ukrainian websites and Facebook profiles, and take advantage of them.
Reinventing the Refugee Camp as the City: Theoretical Considerations about Unaccompanied Minors
Authors: Albański Łukasz , Krywult-Albańska Małgorzata
Published: January 2022

The visible presence of migrant children (including unaccompanied minors) in current migratory flows manifestly requires some form of state attention in migrant destination states. In recent decades, the question of who is entitled to rights has become ever more discussed. At the same time, immigration regulations have tightened with increasing punitive measures taken against those labelled ‘undeserved and undocumented’. This paper seeks to connect a critical discussion of camp urbanization with the discourse on child rights within the context of the refugee camp space. Considering the urban not simply as a physical space, but also as a particular form of political community and the exercise of citizenship space, the paper explores the question: how does the reinvention of the camp as an urban space contribute to a new and better understanding of experiences and resources that unaccompanied minors arrive with? The article uses the analyses of the reference literature and provides an overview of some concepts to get a broader picture of spatial childhood within the camp. The conclusion is that children do not feature in the discussion of camp urbanization as individual subjects of concern. They are considered as possessions of adults. Moreover, they are trapped in a liminal situation of permanent temporariness. To spend one’s life in such a limbo of disenfranchised destitute has particularly devastating consequences for children.
Vulnerabilidad, riesgo y salud: aproximación socioantropológica al diagnóstico como proceso
Authors: Labora González Juan José , Fernández Vilas Enrique
Published: January 2022

En este artículo se realiza un análisis, desde el punto de vista de las ciencias sociales, de los conceptos de vulnerabilidad y riesgo en su aplicación a la salud y, más en concreto, al diagnóstico entendido como un proceso social. El diagnóstico médico, y/o la falta de él, puede generar riesgos a las personas, debido a la posibilidad de entrar en procesos de deterioro de la identidad social, estigmatización o discriminaciones interseccionales; dado que estos fenómenos pueden obstaculizar, o imposibilitar, el acceso al rol de enfermo de las personas que presenten alguna queja o síntoma.

Published: January 2022

Esta pesquisa objetivou avaliar as características das fontes de autoeficácia em atletas de Rugby em Cadeira de Rodas (RCR), com base em uma pesquisa descritiva exploratória, de abordagem quantitativa. Foram investigadas as variáveis sociodemográficas e aplicada a Escala de Autoeficácia em Esportes Coletivos (EAEC) composta por seis (6) escalas: desempenhos realizados no passado [DRP], experiências vicárias [EV], persuasão verbal [PV], indicadores fisiológicos [IF], estados emocionais [EE], e experiências imaginativas [EI], uma para cada fonte de autoeficácia. A amostra foi composta por 54 paratletas, entre 18 e 51 anos (M=33.66, DP=6.41), praticantes de RCR nos clubes filiados à Associação Brasileira de Rugby em Cadeira de Rodas (ABRC). Os resultados da correlação entre as fontes foram significativos, diferentemente da correlação com os dados sociodemográficos. As fontes que apresentaram maior significância quando correlacionadas às demais foram as DRP e às EI, sendo que ambas demonstraram relacionamento significativo entre si e com as fontes referentes às EV, aos IF e EE. Enquanto a PV apresentou menor significância quanto as demais, exceto quando correlacionada às EV. Através dessa análise, constatou-se que a aplicabilidade da EAEC em atletas de RCR possibilita compreender como são formadas as crenças de autoeficácia, e como podem influenciar no desempenho de atletas.

THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF GEOGRAPHY TO CITY TEACHING AND CITIZEN EDUCATION
Abstract
Cities have great economic, cultural and political importance in the lives of the people who inhabit them, or who in some way depend on them. This theme has been studied and presented in different ways by researchers from various areas of knowledge, configuring itself as a very expressive discussion in Geography. There are works in the Brazilian academic environment that aim at teaching the city with a focus on specific municipalities, which has brought the concepts inherent to the theme closer to the students' reality, enabling better understanding and learning. In addition, it is a subject from which teachers can work on various geographic themes and concepts. Geography, through city teaching, provides students with very rich discussions about urban living, the (re) production processes, the agents involved in this process, the struggles and conflicts expressed in these spaces. Thus, the objective of this work is to point out the contributions of city education to citizen education, expose subjects that can be studied in this content and present some productions related to city education and the relationship with Geography, published in the scope of graduations and in some journals. As a result, we have a bibliographic research on the subject in question, in addition to referrals that contribute to the teaching of the city.

Authors: Дорожкин В. , Мохнаткина Е. , Земский Д. , Валиев А.
Published: January 2022

Continuation of studies of changes in molecular parameters, in particular, the molecular weight (MM) during the plasticization (P) of SKI-3 isoprene rubber. The kinetics of oxidative destruction (OD) in the temperature range (T) 30-130 °C and time (t) 30–600 s were studied in detail. Plasticization of rubber, as before, was carried out in a laboratory rubber mixer of the company «NFM», and gel chromatographic studies were carried out on a gel chromatograph of the company «Waters». The speed constant OD K0 decreases in absolute value with a decrease in T and an increase in t. The calculated effective activation energy of OD Eeff decreases from 24,4 to 13 kJ/mol in the studied t range. The influence of the oxygen diffusion process on the kinetic features of the OD of SKI-3 at Р is pointed out.
COMPARISON OF THE PROPERTIES OF TREAD RUBBER FOR WHOLE WITH METAL CORD HEAVY-DUTY TIRES BASED ON NR AND ON SYNTHETIC POLYISOPRENE SKI-3 OF VARIOUS BRANDS
Authors: Кавун С. , Королев Н. , Меджибовский А.
Published: January 2022

Technological properties of rubber compounds as well as viscous-elastic and strength properties of the tread rubber for heavy-duty tires whole with metal cord (MCT), based on blends of natural (NR) or synthetic polyisoprene of various trade marks (more than 80 %) and polybutadiene (more than 10 %) were studied. The new processing aid (PA), worked out in LLC «NPP QUALITET» under registered trade mark KVALISTROL® A100, was suggested instead of importing analogous of PA Polyplastol 6 type. It was established that replacement of NR in MCT formulation by the SKI-3S rubber produced with the use of a new anti-agglomerator of a crumb of KVANTISLIP® of the BM-2R, PA A100 brand, increased dosage of sulfur-accelerated group and the corrected dosage of the vulcanization inhibiter Santogard PVI and together with the worked out mixing mode at a stage of production of masterbatch allows to receive rubber compound close to reference on the basis of the NR on viscosity. At the same time the new rubber compound's strength and elastic properties practically don't differ, and in the lowered values of a hysteresis, surpass reference rubber compound with NR use.

The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is rising in rural areas. Screening of high risk cases, early detection and referral by the physicians reduces the prevalence of kidney disease in the population. Hereditary disorders, Glomerular diseases, Obstructive nephropathies are common causes in CKD in rural areas. Kidney biopsy is an essential diagnostic tool in to diagnose glomerular diseases. This prospective study done at tertiary care teaching hospital between 2017 and 2020 to understand the profile of glomerular diseases in rural area. Forty patients were included in the Study. Primary glomerular disease (PGD) was present in 26 patients and Secondary glomerular disease (SGD) in 10 and primary tubulointerstitial pathology in 4 patients. The most common Secondary glomerular disease was lupus. Glomerular diseases are amenable to immunomodulatory therapy leading to change in clinical outcome of the disease. However, Kidney biopsy is underutilized particularly in elderly patients, hypertensive nephropathy patients, suspected non diabetic kidney disease and lupus patients.

Financial and social issues play dominant role in the treatment plan of chronic diseases in rural areas. Regional registry of kidney biopsy of urban and rural areas separately helps in paving a way of understanding the profile of glomerular diseases and its prevention.

Assessment of Domestic Wastewaters as Potential Growth Media for Chlorella vulgaris and Haematococcus pluvialis
Authors: Tan Yeong Hwang , Chai Mee Kin , Ooi Yang Kai , Wong Ling Shing
Published: January 2022

Domestic wastewater contains chemical compounds that can be used as nutrients for microalgae. Removing these chemical compounds from wastewater by microalgae might help in reducing the operation cost of wastewater management while minimizing the cultivation cost for large-scale microalgae metabolite production. In this study, domestic wastewater collected from Indah Water Konsortium (IWK), Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, was assessed as growth media for two types of microalgae, namely Chlorella vulgaris and Haematococcus pluvialis. The biomass growth and nutrient removal efficiency of total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), and total ammonia (TAN) in different concentrations of diluted wastewater were measured. The results showed that biomass concentration (0.227 g/L), biomass productivity (0.029 g/L/day), and specific growth rate (0,284 d-1) yielded by C. vulgaris in 14 days of 80% wastewater were comparable to those microalgae grew in standard Bold’s Basal medium (BBM). Besides, C. vulgaris grew in 50% wastewater to remove TN, TP, and TAN with the highest removal efficiency (>88%). For H. pluvialis, the biomass concentration in all wastewater concentrations was lower than BBM. The removal efficiencies of TN and TP were lower than 55%, but more than 80% for removal efficiency of TAN in 50% and 80% wastewater. Hence, C. vulgaris has better growth performance and nutrient removal efficiency than H. pluvialis. These findings indicated that IWK domestic wastewater could be used as growth media for microalgae, especially C. vulgaris.
Multiobjective Mathematical Optimization Model for Municipal Solid Waste Management with Economic Analysis of Reuse/Recycling Recovered Waste Materials
Authors: Barma Modu , Modibbo Umar Muhammad
Published: January 2022

Municipal solid waste management in developing countries like Nigeria did not consider benefits from reuse/recycling recoveredwaste materials during solid waste evacuation and disposal. The benefits from recovered waste materials mostly go to informal waste vendors and scavengers. This study developed a multiobjective mathematical programming model for waste evacuation and disposal, considering the benefits of reuse/recycling recovered waste materials. Data were collected from the Abuja environmental protection board (AEPB), personal interviews, and other stakeholders. The formulated model was solved using spreadsheet solver version 14.0. The study uses various daily budgetary provisions for solid waste evacuation and disposal at a 15% recovery level of solid waste materials to observe the responses of the model. The solution shows that at 71.5% recovery of reuse/recycling recovered waste material; no budgetary provision is required to evacuate and dispose of the waste at the collection centers. Benefits realized from recovered waste materials are sufficient to evacuate and dispose of the wastes. After a 71.5% level of recovery, the net benefit of $1,108.17 from recovered waste materials starts to accrue until the percentage recovery level reaches 100%. The volume of waste shifted to the disposal sites was reduced to 74.5 tons (i.e., unrecoverable waste material) which is 16.82% of the total waste generated per day, and 368.33 tons (83.18%) of waste materials were recovered. The study will give the policymakers viable information to aid proper planning while budgeting and controlling solid-waste-associated problems in the Abuja municipal area in particular and the country as large.

Inflammatory reaction induced by Floridosentis mugilis (Acanthocephala, Neoechinorhynchidae) in the intestine of Mugil liza
Authors: Plaul S. E. , Montes M. M. , Topa E. , Martorelli S. R. , Barbeito C. G.
Published: January 2022

Lebranche mullet, Mugil liza, is an important economic resource and has been recommended for aquaculture in South America. Also, this is the only mullet that breeds in Argentina. In the course of our routine investigations on the parasitic fauna of fishes from brackish waters of Samborombón Bay, Buenos Aires province, an infection of acanthocephalan worms, identified as Floridosentis mugilis was observed in juvenile lebranche mullets. These parasites were attached deeply into the intestinal wall but without piercing it. In this study we analysed the intestinal damage that F. mugilis inflicts on their hosts through the evaluation of histological sections. In the pathological analysis we observed that these parasites cause a non-specific cellular response that leads to the degranulation of eosinophilic granular cells and, consequently, the formation of a fibrous core with oedema, vascular congestion, and lymphocytic infiltration.

There was no audience except for the participants who jumped over the
heaps of tyres and moved them around. Photographs of Yard show Kaprow
arranging the tyres within the small space of the courtyard, which was
officially the sculpture garden of the gallery. Apart from the photographs,
accounts of the event are scarce, and the press hardly paid any attention to
it. And yet, Yard became one of Kaprow’s seminal Happenings. The work
has been acquired for many museum collections and was re-executed on numerous occasions, both by Kaprow and others, at different places and
with other participants.
Ernesto Neto’s Célula Nave
Authors: Scholte Tatja
Published: January 2022

Célula Nave. It happens in the body of time, where truth dances (2004) by
the Brazilian artist Ernesto Neto is an interactive installation artwork,
commissioned by the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam.
The artwork consists of a spacious construction of turquoise fabric – the
“nave” – hanging on a series of aluminium poles. Visitors are allowed to
enter the nave and touch the fabric with their hands and feet. The spatial
design of Célula Nave is intertwined with the museum’s Bodon Gallery, for
which the artwork was created. The size of the installation has been adapted
to its large-scale dimensions; the colour of the fabric matches the greenish
floor of the gallery, and the daylight falling into the room enhances the
fabric’s translucency.
Conclusion and Further Discussion
Authors: Scholte Tatja
Published: January 2022

The readers of this book have taken note of the history of site-specific
installation art and were offered an analytical model for examining the
perpetuation of the artworks in a museum context. As the term suggests,
site-specific installations are physically tied to the surrounding space and
would, strictly speaking, have no afterlives after their initial manifestation.
However, as demonstrated with many examples, site-specific installations
can have extended lives and are frequently relocated to different contexts
and times. Hence, rather than defining site specificity as a “fixed” characteristic,
this study took a broader perspective by looking into the biographies
of the artworks in relation to the exhibition site, ongoing institutional
engagement, the locations of production, and the visitors’ interaction in
the here and now.
The March of Tuscany
Authors: Manarini Edoardo
Published: January 2022

The growth of Hucpolding landed possessions in Tuscia is marked by two
distinct phases. The first covers the second half of the ninth century, when
key elements of their presence included two monasteries in the Florentine
area and close relationships with the Adalbertings; the second, the second
half of the tenth century after the group achieved the marchisal office,
when the full resources of the fisc became available to them. Chapter 5
examines the evolution of parental assets in the march, aligned with the
pathway to marchisal authority. It proposes that the marchisal office was
fundamental to the expansion of their power in the region – a power that
proved transitory, however, after the loss of the public office.
Kinship, Self-awareness and Memory
Authors: Manarini Edoardo
Published: January 2022

The third part of the research proposes the diachronic reconstruction of
the evolution of powers and awareness of the relations of kinship through
a thematic analysis. The seventh chapter aims at defining the aspects that
characterized the kinship group as a whole, such as self-awareness and
memory through onomastic choices and monastic foundations. It shows
that, in the Hucpolding case, the patrimonial possessions came to be the
main cohesive feature of the group only in the years spanning the tenth
to eleventh centuries. Only at that time did the switch from cognatic to
agnatic structures occur.
Global Modernity from Coloniality to Pandemic

Published: January 2022

Global Modernity from Coloniality to Pandemic explores issues related to the global crises of our time: reason, science, and the environment by revisiting the notions of modernity, modernism, and modernization, which can no longer be considered purely Western or strictly secular. The book poses questions about viewing modernity today from the vantage point of traditionally disparate disciplines – engaging scholars from sociology to science, philosophy to robotics, medicine to visual culture, mathematics to cultural theory, biology to environmental studies. Leading sociologist Alain Touraine contributes a new text in which he reflects on the role of women, refugees and migrants, and the future of democracy. In their conclusion, the editors posit a fundamental ethical distinction between modernization and modernity and call for a new understanding of modernity that is globally distributed, informed by the voices of many, and concerned with crises that threaten all of us at the level of the species – a modernity-to-come.
Connecting Modernities
Authors: Maddanu Simone , Akil Hatem N.
Published: January 2022

Editors’ introductory chapter delineates common threads among the
volume’s cross-disciplinary contributions and connects these to the history
of research on modernity as well as the most compelling issues confronting
us today. The introduction discusses how the pandemic carries on the
possibility (threat?) of a tabula rasa condition, a civilizational detour
based on a foundation of global awareness of nature and society. The
authors support the need for global problem-solving strategies, new global
ethics, and a global resource management paradigm solidly cognizant
of the commons and redistribution. The introduction explores the main
hiatuses in today’s modernity and provides an update to the necessary
assertion of a global modernity in the midst of political, ecological, and
health crises.
Criticism of “Colonial Modernity” through Kurdish Decolonial Approaches
Authors: Sustam Engin
Published: January 2022

Western modernity with its colonial application has created an identity
trauma and patriarchal domination of the memory of colonized and
oppressed peoples. Critiques from colonized territories encourage us to
reread the colonial epistemes of modernity, whether or not centered on the
West. The Kurdish political movement thus defines a new interpretation
of modernity based on the critique of colonialism and global capitalism:
“democratic modernity.” This chapter problematizes the relations between
modernity, the nation state, the destruction of ecology, social confinement,
the relationship of the forces of these relations, but above all the modalities
by which it becomes possible to act on them to break the “stalemate” of
the modernity of thought in the twenty-first century.
Conflicting Modernities: Militarization and Islands
Authors: Esu Aide , Maddanu Simone
Published: January 2022

This chapter mainly points out how militarization as a bureaucratic and
discursive “apparatus” results in a colonial modernization. Furthermore,
the chapter establishes a direct link between military settlements – by
various occupations – and a narrative of modernization and modernity.
Both military protocols and the scope of the military activities contribute
to a form of colonization and dependence, economically as well as culturally.
Militarization is a wider concept involving at least two dimensions:
the economic and political factors sustaining the expansion of military
spending; and the social, cultural, and ideological dimension. However, the
master narrative of modernization clashes with rising claims to autonomy
in the local population that assert an alternative modernity.
The Cognitive Immune System
Authors: Mauer Barry
Published: January 2022

How do we know when a belief or behavior qualifies as pathological? Are
institutions vulnerable to pathological beliefs and behaviors? Nicolas
de Condorcet sought answers to these questions using Enlightenment
reason. This chapter argues that Condorcet’s modern liberal approach to
diagnosing and treating pathological beliefs and behaviors (1) didn’t go
far enough, and (2) contained significant blind spots that we are only now
coming to appreciate through scientific discoveries. Currently the United
States and much of the world is crippled by two pandemics: the coronavirus
(a physical virus) and the right-wing cult (a cognitive virus). This chapter
introduces the theory of the cognitive immune system and discusses the
affordances and limits of the metaphor to medical epidemiology.
Subjectivation, Modernity, and Hypermodernity
Authors: Touraine Alain
Published: January 2022

Modernity is an action, a work (deed) that transforms the relation between
a human group and its environment. The notion of “subjectivation” is
the way I define human societies’ discovery and their creative capacity.
Meanwhile the nation/states’ withdrawal into themselves, the closure of
the borders to the full scope of globalization, and the acceptance or refusal
of migrants become the central issue of all sociopolitical conflicts, replacing
the previous labor-based conflicts that have been at the core of the
industrial society. Sociological analysis today addresses the fundamental
issue: What is the future of democracy? The answer lies in criticism visà-
vis the idea of states and institutions as agents of democracy, and the
assertion of a social definition of democracy.
Places of Knowledge between Ulm and the Netherlands in the Seventeenth Century : The Kunstkammer of Johannes Faulhaber
Authors: Brakmann Paul , Fitzner Sebastian
Published: January 2022

This article investigates how the Kunstkammer of Johannes Faulhaber, renowned
mathematician and engineer of Ulm, functioned as a place dedicated to the advancement
of mechanical-architectural knowledge. Examining several unstudied
publications associated with his Kunstkammer and a previously unknown inventory,
we reconstruct the collection and examine Faulhaber’s advertisement of it in printed
catalogues. A comparison of Faulhaber᾽s collection with that of his contemporary
Joseph Furttenbach the Elder highlights specifics of its focus and scope. The Kunstkammer
was also a place of technology transfer, whereby aspects of Dutch military
technology were introduced into the German context, and were in turn further
disseminated through Faulhaber’s publications. In this sense, Faulhaber᾽s Kunstkammer
can be understood as an entanglement of ‘places’ – both physical and printed.
Buddhist Devotion to the Russian Tsar : The Bicultural Environment of the Don Kalmyk Sangha and Russian Orthodox Church in the 1830s
Authors: Takehiko Inoue
Published: January 2022

Inoue Takehiko’s paper analyses how the close and long-lasting relationship
between Kalmyk Buddhists and Don Cossacks (in the Don Cossack
province) developed during the nineteenth century. This relationship
was mediated both by Kalmyk Buddhist monks and the requirements of
military and religious services to the Tsar, leading to transformations in
the identity of this Kalmyk group. He uses the example of the ceremony
surrounding the opening of a Kalmyk Parish school in 1839 to demonstrate
how both parties sought to combine their socio-religious cultures in
furtherance of the alliance of their interests.
