Published: December 2023

En este trabajo de investigación se buscó conocer los facilitadores y las dificultades que viven las mujeres con discapacidad visual en Uruguay a la hora de transitar la maternidad. Nos proponemos centrarnos en la intersección entre discapacidad y maternidad, en particular en las experiencias de las madres en situación de discapacidad visual, todo ello con el objetivo principal de aportar información que redunde en acciones y políticas que garanticen el pleno ejercicio de los derechos sexuales y reproductivos en el colectivo de personas en situación de discapacidad. Para ello, se realizó un estudio cualitativo con una muestra intencional teórica. Las participantes fueron mujeres mayores de edad con discapacidad visual (ceguera y baja visión) ya sea adquirida o congénita, que hayan transitado embarazos a término con bebés nacidos vivos en maternidades tanto públicas como privadas del Uruguay. Entre los resultados obtenidos se destaca la importancia del papel de la sociedad en la implementación de facilitadores y barreras en la discapacidad; es decir, cuantos más obstáculos se les presentan a las personas en situación de discapacidad, mayor es el grado de discapacidad. Así mismo, se quiere destacar, dentro de la sociedad, la relevancia del sistema de salud como facilitador u obstaculizador del proceso de maternidad, ya que, a partir de los relatos obtenidos, se presentó un discurso repetitivo entre varias mujeres sobre la infantilización por su condición a la hora de acompañarlas en este proceso. Por esto, es de suma importancia una formación más humanizada por parte del personal de salud, así como también que cuenten con la información necesaria para trabajar con las diversas discapacidades. Por último, se indaga en el apoyo afectivo de las madres en situación de discapacidad visual desde su núcleo familiar y la importancia que este tuvo para el proceso de la maternidad.

Published: December 2023

The concept and practice of leadership is continuously evolving. In public administration literature, collaborative leadership is a serious discussion and collaborative leadership is encouraged to be applied at all levels of leadership including the leadership of the Regional Head. Waste management as a very serious public problem is a challenge to modern civilisation and Indonesia is one of the countries with the largest populations in the world, producing more than 19 million tons of waste in 2022, while Watampone is one of the cities in Indonesia that certainly contributes to the waste pile. As a developing city, preventive measures must be taken before following in the footsteps of big cities that are dealing with waste problems because there is no inherent prevention. Therefore, its leadership model can be a key factor. In these terms, it is important to study waste management policy using a collaborative leadership approach. This study aims to look at the characteristics of collaborative leadership in waste management. This research uses descriptive qualitative methods and data collection techniques in interviews with relevant stakeholder leaders as informants combined with documentation studies. The results show that the collaborative leadership model in waste management has a positive impact; this is because the involvement of multiple parties helps manage waste problems and share roles. The characteristics of collaborative leadership expressed by Wilson as a reference in this study show that waste management must involve many parties with the characteristics of awareness of functions, division of authority, cooperation for a common vision, and mutual trust by all operators involved. As a suggestion, waste management using a collaborative leadership approach should be conducted by clearly mapping the roles of all stakeholders involved. Another aspect that supports and strengthens waste management collaboration in Watampone City is the culture of gotong royong (mutual aid) that has been rooted in the lives of the people of Watampone City.

Published: December 2023

Objetivo: Analisar os desafios do processo de enfermagem perioperatório no centro cirúrgico, identificando as facilidades e as dificuldades em sua implementação. Método: Pesquisa descritiva, com abordagem mista (quantitativa e qualitativa) e amostragem em bola de neve, englobando 16 enfermeiros. A coleta de dados foi por meio de um formulário online, autoaplicável e semiestruturado, contendo 12 perguntas voltadas para a análise do desenvolvimento do processo de enfermagem no centro cirúrgico. Resultados: A maioria dos participantes relatou que o processo de enfermagem era implementado nas instituições em que trabalhavam, metade (n=8) encontrou facilidades na implementação do processo de enfermagem, e todos (n=16) afirmaram que existem desafios para implementá-lo e citaram como dificuldades o dimensionamento de pessoal e a falta de conhecimento profissional. Conclusão: Constatou-se que existe uma lacuna no sequenciamento das ações do processo de enfermagem, e que o exame físico na consulta de enfermagem, a evolução no pré-operatório imediato e a reformulação do planejamento das ações no pós-operatório são práticas importantes que não são aderidas pela maioria dos enfermeiros. Logo, entende-se que eles encontram mais dificuldades do que facilidades para implementar o processo de enfermagem.
Research resources of Japanese Mokkan: Turning information on ancient wooden tablets into research data
Authors: Baba Hajime
Published: December 2023

This paper focuses on ancient Japanese Mokkan (woodcuts) to discuss the background, current status and issues in the digitisation of cultural heritage, including matters of research, protection, and legal rights. As valuable primary sources, Mokkan are important in a wide range of academic fields, including history and linguistics. On the other hand, they are extremely fragile and fragmented. Digital technologies can support an improvement in access and study of this material. In this paper, we illustrate the current efforts to improve digitisation workflows and strengthen research capacity: we discuss open data and open access, equal and transparent inter-institutional collaboration, the application of the IIIF standard, the construction of a character database search system, and the application of Deep Learning technology. The issue of open data and open access is particularly challenging in Japan, where there is still a gap between the legal principles and the actual situation of cultural heritage institutions. In addition, information needs to be standardized and aggregated, but at the same time the specificity and historical characteristics of the different materials need to be addressed. In this paper, we strongly advocate for the establishment of methods for sharing cultural heritage data. In humanities research, the linkage, open access and standardization of information has become essential, not only to foster data-driven research but also to ensure wide access and dissemination of cultural heritage in Japan. For this reason, we encourage equal and open collaboration not just across cultural heritage stakeholders, but across society as a whole.
Preserving the intangible: The challenges and responsibilities of documenting material knowledge practices and skills through digital media
Authors: Granados García Paula Loreto , Ashley Ceri
Published: December 2023

The role of digital archiving in the preservation of intangible heritage is considered in this paper, using the case study of the British Museum’s Endangered Material Knowledge Programme. Concerned with the documentation of the skills, understanding, experience and embodied knowledge required to make and shape material worlds, this case study sits at the junction between the material and immaterial and the tangible/intangible, as the influence of everything from the availability of raw materials to cosmology are implicated in material decisions. Working across the globe, but with a strong focus on documenting knowledge systems in the global south that are under extreme threat of change, EMKP supports projects, researchers, and communities to record the details of material practice before they disappear. Digital tools offer a fluid and flexible set of resources to capture and represent these complex systems of individual and overlapping knowledge and are especially relevant in situations where knowledge is not catechised by western tropes of learning and linear process. Digital technology is also increasingly accessible and offers a chance to destabilise traditional heritage hierarchies, as the ability to carry out the documentation is decentred away from researchers to include communities and practitioners themselves. Nevertheless, challenges remain, notably how to collect such alternative ontologies, and how to manage and disseminate the results appropriately, protecting the rights of the original knowledge holders. In this paper we explore how EMKP has been working during its development phase to create a digital environment that is responsive to the particularities of material knowledge, recognising its fragility and urgent need to be preserved, but also sensitive to, and respectful of, the environment in which this knowledge emerged and grew.
Role of Academic Libraries in Scientific Production Evaluation
Authors: Marijanović Branka , Petrić Tatijana , Udiljak Bugarinovski Zrinka , Novosel Višnja
Published: December 2023

Since internationally visible scientific productivity is a criterion for state evaluation of Croatian academic and scientific institutions and their scientists, Croatian academic libraries have a key role in quantitative evaluation of scientific productivity using methods such as bibliometrics, scientometrics and the like. The aim of this case study is to identify and illustrate the current situation of library services for evaluating scientific production at the University of Zagreb, Croatia, and to make recommendations for the further development of such services, which could serve as a framework for the systematic implementation of this type of service in all libraries at the University of Zagreb and beyond.
More specifically, the purpose of this paper was to identify the existence of the bibliometric services in the libraries of the University of Zagreb (UNIZG), examine the status and involvement of university librarians in the academic advancement procedures and to identify the required competences for bibliometric experts in Croatia. The research was conducted using the content analysis method, the survey method, and the focus group method. The research results show that although UNIZG libraries are integrated into the system of academic promotion and the role of UNIZG libraries is enshrined in Croatian regulations, the bibliometric service is not standardised at the University level. The results also indicate that the service needs to be strengthened in terms of training of professional staff and greater investment in staff capacity and infrastructure.
The fact that the study was conducted at a single Croatian university is a possible limitation that could relate to the application of guidelines for further actions and the development of bibliometric services at national level. It would therefore be desirable to conduct future research to identify the situation at other Croatian universities as well. It would also be necessary to determine the open science and open access policies at UNIZG through further research and, in this context, to establish guidelines for possible improvements in the processes of evaluating scientific productivity.
The results of this study make an important contribution to the possible future positioning of university libraries and UNIZG librarians in the process of evaluating scientific productivity. In addition, some practical advice is given so that this case study may be a good introductory overview for the wider academic community in relation to this topic.

Authors: Fernández Cerezo Alejandro , Izquierdo Mario
Published: December 2023

Motivación

La Encuesta del Banco de España sobre la Actividad Empresarial (EBAE) permite extraer, en tiempo real, información acerca de la facturación, el empleo y los precios pagados y cobrados de una muestra amplia de empresas españolas, lo que proporciona una contribución muy relevante al diagnóstico de la situación coyuntural de la economía.

Ideas principales

•Las empresas perciben que su facturación se ha mantenido sin cambios en el cuarto trimestre de 2023, tras el descenso del trimestre anterior, y declaran un retroceso del empleo.

•Se observa una ligera atenuación de las presiones inflacionistas tanto en los costes de producción como en los precios de venta, pero las expectativas apuntan a un leve repunte para el próximo año.

•La actividad empresarial se ha visto afectada por la creciente incertidumbre sobre la política económica y las dificultades para encontrar mano de obra, así como por un aumento de factores relacionados con el endurecimiento de las condiciones financieras, las dificultades de acceso a la financiación y el incremento de los gastos financieros.

Bu çalışmada, kentsel bir alanda kazısı gerçekleştirilen geniş kesitli bir ulaşım tünelinde, patlatma kaynaklı titreşimleri kontrol etmek amacıyla yapılan projelendirme aşamalarını sunulmaktadır. Tünellerin yerleşim bölgelerine yakınlığı, çevresindeki birçok yapının titreşimlerden olumsuz etkilenmesine neden olabileceği gerçeğini göz önünde byulundurulduğunda, titiz bir titreşim yönetimi gerektirmiştir. Bu çalışma, patlatma faaliyetlerinden kaynaklanan titreşimleri en aza indirmeyi hedefleyen gecikme aralığı, patlatma paternini ve kazı planı optimizasyonunu içeren aşamaları kapsamaktadır. Çalışmanın sonucunda, yüzey titreşimlerini ulusal normlarda belirlenen limitlerin altında tutan, titreşime maruziyet sürelerini kısaltan, bunların yanı sıra proje süresinde ekstra gecikmelere neden olmayan ve tünel inşaatında mühendislik başarısını elde eden bir patlatma projesinin gerçekleştirildiği görülmüştür.
Desempeño internacional de las pequeñas y medianas empresas: el papel de la proactividad, la experiencia internacional y las redes
Authors: Sandoval-Álvarez Carlos
Published: December 2023

El propósito de esta investigación es examinar el efecto del comportamiento gerencial proactivo y las redes comerciales internacionales en el desempeño internacional exhibido por una Mipyme. Además, verificamos si los gerentes con experiencia internacional despliegan más posturas proactivas y se valen de redes internacionales. Probamos un modelo de investigación, aplicando técnicas de modelado de ecuaciones estructurales, a una muestra de 130 empresas exportadoras costarricenses. Los resultados revelan que la experiencia internacional no se relaciona con el uso de las redes internacionales para hacer frente a los mercados extranjeros. Más bien, éstos muestran posturas proactivas hacia las oportunidades de exportación, lo que a su vez afecta positivamente en la intensidad de exportación de una Mypyme. No obstante, y el alcance geográfico de sus ventas de exportación y la rapidez de internacionalización de la Mipyme, parecen no tener relación con el nivel de proactividad del gerente.
Alejandro Lipschutz Friedman: un marxista indigenista del siglo XX
Authors: Navarrete Vergara Jaime
Published: December 2023

Este artículo describe, en primer lugar, el llamado período “indigenista” de América Latina (1940-1971), caracterizado los principales aspectos del contexto histórico y político en el cual Lipschutz desarrolló su trayectoria intelectual e indigenista; en segundo lugar, define el desarrollo de la antropología chilena, con el objetivo de identificar elementos centrales de la disciplina, especialmente durante los años sesenta; en tercer lugar, registra su apuesta intelectual por una antropología crítica y su impulso a la “filosofía de la praxis”, exponiendo las características de su compromiso político; y, en cuarto lugar, examina el contexto y uso de las categorías de tribu y comunidad, definiendo lo que se denominará un “marxismo antropológico”, es decir, una cierta configuración teórica y política que permitió a Lipschutz intervenir en determinados debates políticos de orden nacional. Por último, se analizará la relación entre la perspectiva intelectual de Lipschutz y el gobierno socialista de la Unidad Popular (1970-1973), cuya principal expresión cristalizó en la redacción de una nueva Ley Indígena (1972) y el aporte de sus categorías teóricas a la discusión del propio proyecto legislativo. El artículo sostiene que Lipschutz logró articular su perspectiva indigenista, marxista y antropológica al nuevo escenario político inaugurado por la Unidad Popular, vinculándose con las demandas de una nueva generación de dirigentes y militantes mapuche, uno de los actores más olvidados de la vía chilena al socialismo. Esta perspectiva para pensar la realidad indígena del continente –y especialmente la cuestión mapuche en Chile– fue una tentativa original dentro de la historia del indigenismo chileno y latinoamericano del siglo XX.
EXPLORING THE IMPACT OF DISTILLERY EFFLUENTS ON THE INITIAL GROWTH OF SOYBEAN CULTIVARS
Authors: CHOUDHARY RENU , TEJASVI ASHISH
Published: December 2023

This study examined the effects of different levels of distillery effluents (referred to as RSW, BSW, and LS) on two varieties of soybean (Glycine max) called Punjab-1 and Alankar collected from Shamli Distillery and Chemical Works at Shamli (U.P.). In the study, concentrations ranged between 0.5% to 55% were used. Standard tap water was used as a control. Workers conducted germination tests on seeds of both soybean varieties with various levels of effluent treatments. The results showed that at lesser concentrations, there was a noticeable increment in both the proportion of germination and the germination rate index. However, if the concentration exceeded 5% for RSW and 10% for BSW and LS effluents, it hindered seed germination. These trends remained similar pertaining to the growth and biochemical aspects of plants from the two cultivars

SUGGESTIONS TO REDUCE RISK FACTORS AMONG THE HEALTH WORKERS IN AGRA CITY OF UTTAR PRADESH, INDIA
Authors: SHARMA ANUPAMA , BHAROSE RAM
Published: December 2023

This study was carried out among the HCWs (both males and females) of 30 hospitals of Agra city, Uttar Pradesh, India. There were a variety of HCWs in the study group, including senior residents, junior residents, interns, undergraduate medical students, staff and student nurses, and staff and student laboratory technicians. The study was carried out with participation from 600 HCWs. In Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India, a city tertiary hospital conducted a hospital-based cross-sectional study. Data were collected using a predesigned schedule from 600 respondents (Doctors, nurses, laboratory technicians and staff). Therefore, this study was undertaken to study the awareness of standard occupational safety measures such as universal precautions and compliance in daily practice among paramedical workers. Healthcare professionals (HCP) face risks while providing preventive, curative, and rehabilitation services. Medical science advancements have increased safety to some extent, but contemporary technology has also made healthcare very complex and dangerous. This study was therefore conducted to find out how well-informed paramedical workers were about common workplace safety precautions like general safety measures and how often they followed them. There are numerous risks associated with medical care, including radiation exposure, violence, psychiatric disorders, patient stalking, and suicide. Due to patient handling and the rising number of obese patients, HCP are at a high risk for musculoskeletal disorders. Human immunodeficiency virus-related workload growth has resulted in greater difficulties. Many HCP are unaware of prevention strategies despite the possibility of exposure to hazards. Additionally, the system is not supportive, the prevention policies are unclear or difficult to access, or there is a problem with attitudes. So, HCP still experience problems, especially in developing nations. Health managers must make sure that healthcare is focused on assessing the risks faced by HCP, their causes, and doing everything they can to prevent them.

Published: December 2023

The present study was conducted to investigate the nutritional study of cow's milk of various breeds from Bhatta Chowk Lahore. Different cow breeds were found to possess variable amounts of nutritional contents, i.e., highest moisture and ash in the Cholistani cow, highest fat in the Sahiwal cow, highest calcium and specific gravity in the Holstein cow and highest contents of protein, solid-not-fat and total solid in Red Sindhi. Red Sindhi cow’s milk was found to be more nutritious in terms of its richness in proteins, solid-not-fat and total solids whereas Holstein cow was rich in calcium. Calcium was found to be in a range of 550 to 630 ppm with the decrease of concentration in the following order: Sahiwal>Holstein Frisian= Red Sindhi>Cholistani. The Cholistani cow milk showed the presence of 3.126 % protein, 3.5 % fat, 88.2 % moisture, 8.3 % solids-not fat, 11.8 % total solids, 0.791 % ash, 30.5o lactometer reading and 1.0305 kg/m3 specific gravity. Sahiwal cow milk showed 3.318 % of protein, 4.1 % fat, 87.5 % moisture, 30.1o lactometer reading, 1.03 kg/m3 specific gravity, 8.4 % solids-not-fat, 12.5 % total solids and 0.79 % ash. Holstein Frisian’s milk demonstrated the presence of 3.33 % protein, 3.8 % fat, 87.35% moisture, 31o lactometer reading, 1.03 kg/m3 specific gravity, 8.85 % solids-not-fat, 12.65 % total solids and 0.77 % ash. Red Sindhi’s milk revealed the presence of 3.38 % protein, 3.95 % fat, 85.65 % moisture, 28o Lactometer reading, 1.028 kg/m3 specific gravity, 10.4% solids-not-fat, 14.35% total solids and 0.705% ash.
The Role of Social Factors in Relative Energy Deficiency Risk for Female Collegiate Athletes
Authors: Masden Lauren , Tripure Allison , Mahoney Sara
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND: Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) refers to compromised functioning of one’s metabolism, reproductive system, immune system, cardiovascular system and more due to a relative energy deficiency. Most prevailing RED-S research has focused on its physiological symptoms, yet little data exists regarding the psychological and social aspects that might contribute to its development.  The purpose of this study is to determine the role of psychosocial      factors in RED-S risk for female collegiate athletes.
METHODS: 105 female collegiate athletes under National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) jurisdiction were surveyed representing a variety of varsity sports. All participants were assessed for low energy availability using the Low Energy Availability in Females Questionnaire (LEAF-Q) through an online survey battery, which also included sources of nutrition information scale (SONI scale), the revised group environment questionnaire (GEQ), and the revised exercise group social provisions scale (EXSPS questionnaire).      The participants were sorted into an At Risk (AR) and Not At Risk (NAR) group based on their LEAF-Q scores. One-tailed independent t-tests and chi square tests were used to determine the difference between AR and NAR for dependent measures, and multiple linear regression determined the relationship between risk of LEA and GEQ, EXSPS, and SONI.
RESULTS: Overall, 66 participants (62.8%) were at risk for LEA based on LEAF-Q scores. Significant differences were identified between the AR (11.5%; 66.7%) and NAR (40.0%; 37.0%) groups regarding comfort with discussing nutrition with coaches or teammates, respectively (p = 0.034, p = 0.035). However, none of the social measures predicted LEA risk (group cohesion: R = 0.04,  p = 0.92; social support: R = 1.85, p = 0.09; SONI: p = 0.136) Awareness of RED-S (using a Yes (1) or No (0) question) was also found to be not significantly different between the AR (0.28  ± 0.45, 29%) and NAR (0.39 ± 0.50, 41%) groups (p = 0.12).
CONCLUSION: Overall, risk for RED-S is high in female collegiate athletes, however group cohesion, social support, and the athletes’ sources of nutrition information did not predict RED-S incidence.

MARGINALS OF THE BORDER TERRITORIES: A TRANSYLVANIAN PRINCE AND A POLISH POET
Authors: Ивонина Людмила Ивановна
Published: December 2023

Понятие пограничной территории, можно на полном основании причислить к глобальным концептам, распространяющимся на все сферы бытия и требующим многостороннего осмысления и подхода. Особый статус пограничья обуславливается тем, что в силу своего положения на рубеже, т.е. в состоянии постоянной готовности к переходу от старого к новому и от «своего» к «чужому», его резиденты в первую очередь становятся субъектами различных социокультурных процессов. Длительное пребывание в пограничной зоне способствует формированию маргинального типа личности, сознательно участвующей в культурной жизни и традициях разных народов. В статье на примере двух исторических деятелей XVII в.- трансильванского князя и короля Венгрии Бетлена Габора и польского поэта, воина и дипломата Яна Куновского показано как длительное пребывание в пограничье оказывало влияние на духовное развитие и деятельность людей, принадлежавших к политической и культурной элите своего времени.

The concept of a border area can rightly be considered a global concept that extends to all spheres of life and requires a multilateral understanding and approach. The special status of the borderlands is due to the fact that, due to their position at the border, i.e., in a state of constant readiness for the transition from the old to the new and from “ours” to “theirs”, its residents first of all become subjects of various sociocultural processes. A long stay in the border zone contributes to the formation of a marginal type of personality, consciously participating in the cultural life and traditions of different peoples. In the article, on the example of two historical figures of the 17th century.- the Transylvanian prince and king of Hungary Bethlen Gabor and the Polish poet, warrior and diplomat Jan Kunowski show how a long stay in the borderlands influenced the spiritual development and activities of people who belonged to the political and cultural elite of their time.

Статья посвящена рассмотрению актуальных проблем, возникающих при развитии приграничного сотрудничества между Российской Федерации и Республикой Беларусь. Важнейшей задачей является дальнейшее укрепление добрососедства, дружбы и взаимопонимания посредством углубления культурных связей, развития взаимоотношений в гуманитарной сфере. При этом следует учитывать то обстоятельство, что в общественном мнении населения приграничья все еще отсутствуют четкие представления о сути региональной политики и места в ней приграничного и трансграничного сотрудничества. В этой связи большое значение имеет социокультурное и информационное взаимодействие регионов и людей, которое является многоаспектным и стремится к преодолению каких бы то ни было границ.

The article is devoted to the consideration of topical problems arising in the development of cross-border cooperation between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus. The most important task is to further strengthen good neighborliness, friendship and mutual understanding by deepening cultural ties and developing relations in the humanitarian sphere. At the same time, one should take into account the fact that in the public opinion of the population of the border areas there are still no clear ideas about the essence of regional policy and the place in it of border and cross-border cooperation. In this regard, the socio-cultural and informational interaction of regions and people is of great importance, which is multifaceted and strives to overcome any borders.

Статья посвящена судьбе небольшого фрагмента крепостной стены Смоленска, находившегося между двумя т.н. «Казанскими» проломами, образовавшимися на месте двух взорванных в 1812 г. отступавшими французскими войсками башен. Этот участок крепости, несмотря на утраты, оставался в относительно неплохом состоянии. Однако периодически выдвигались предложения по его разборке. Во многом благодаря активной позиции местной музейной и художественной общественности фрагмент крепости на склоне Казанского холма удавалось сохранять. Более того, непосредственным результатом борьбы за его спасение стало воссоздание Комиссии «по охранению …» Смоленской крепостной стены, распущенной после Февральской революции. Но в начале 1930-х гг. в ходе масштабной перестройки Смоленска он всё-таки был разрушен.

The article is devoted to the fate of a small fragment of the fortress wall of Smolensk, located between two so-called. “Kazan” breaks, formed on the site of two towers blown up in 1812 by the retreating French troops. This section of the fortress, despite the losses, remained in relatively good condition. However, proposals were periodically put forward for its disassembly. It was largely thanks to the active position of the local museum and art community that the fragment of the fortress on the slope of Kazansky Hill was preserved. Moreover, the direct result of the struggle for his salvation was the re-establishment of the Commission “ for the protection of …” Smolensk fortress wall, dissolved after the February Revolution. But in the early 1930s during the large-scale restructuring of Smolensk, it was nevertheless destroyed.

Проблема охраны памятников истории и культуры сохраняет высокую актуальность. Но помимо сохранения существует и вопрос о приспособлении, использования исторического памятника, а также его оптимального функционирования в современной городской среде. Для определения современного функционала Смоленской крепостной стены необходимо обратиться к известным способам влияния архитектурного сооружения на человека, среди которых сенсорное воздействие, вызывающее различные эмоции и ощущения, и способность передавать подлинную информацию о прошедших событиях. Анализу такового воздействия Смоленской крепости и попытке определения её места в жизни сегодняшнего Смоленска посвящена данная статья.

The problem of protecting historical and cultural monuments remains highly relevant. But in addition to conservation, there is also the issue of adaptation, use of a historical monument, as well as its optimal functioning in a modern urban environment. To determine the modern functionality of the Smolensk fortress wall, it is necessary to refer to the well-known methods of influence of an architectural structure on a person, including a sensory effect that causes various emotions and sensations, and the ability to transmit genuine information about past events. This article is devoted to the analysis of such an impact of the Smolensk fortress and an attempt to determine its place in the life of today’s Smolensk.

Nowadays, Twitter (now X) has been a key battleground for environmental activism. This study reveals patterns of the narratives the climate strike movement Fridays for the Future (FFF) shares on the microblogging platform. The article categorically investigates on which points the platform publicizes varying concerns and disseminates differing priorities in the USA and Bangladesh, situated in the so-called Global North and South, respectively, while fighting against catalysts of climate change. The Twitter handles of the youth-led movement, namely Fridays for Future U.S. and Fridays for Future Bangladesh, are utilizing this social media platform to convey their agendas across the globe in a bid to influence public views. This paper illustrates the concerns and priorities these Twitter communities share in the two countries to mobilize their agendas and assemble their supporters. The study has found that the social media movement platforms share concerns mostly about causes and consequences of climate change, power corruption, and system rigging by the ‘dirty companies’, climate, and social justice for those who mainly suffer during climatic disasters. The platforms also discuss possible resolutions to contain the increasing number of climatic incidents and, subsequently, their impact and action plans. The netnographic method, which involves an inductive approach, was applied to analyze the tweeting data.

This study assessed kinetic parameters and oxidative stress in bull sperm after post-thaw (PT) or after sperm selection by Percoll™ gradient, and thermo resistance test (SS + TRT) to identify useful indicators of field fertility. For the experiment, commercial doses of frozen semen were obtained from six Aberdeen Angus bulls. Three of the bulls were classified as high fertility and three as low fertility according to the IFert™ index provided by the international breeding company CRV Lagoa. Pooled semen samples were distributed between two treatment groups for analysis: post-thaw (PT) or sperm selection (SS) (Percoll™) and thermal resistance test (SS + TRT). The samples were evaluated using sperm kinetics (CASA) (motility %, progressive motility %, VCL µm/s, VSL µm/s, VAP µm/s, LIN %, STR % and WOB%), production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), lipid peroxidation, superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzyme activity and total antioxidant capacity. Data were analyzed using Two-Way ANOVA, considering the fertility index, the treatment used in the samples as effects, and the interaction between these factors. When a significant effect was observed, the values were compared using the Bonferroni test. A Pearson Correlation analysis was performed between the fertility indices and the sperm parameters analyzed in vitro, to evaluate the relationship between sperm quality and the fecundity rate obtained by the bulls. Sperm kinetic parameters, including total motility, progressive motile, and beat cross-frequency, were higher in low fertility compared to high fertility bulls (P < 0.05). However, curvilinear velocity was greater in high fertility bulls followed by SS + TRT. Straight-line velocity, average path velocity, linearity, and beat cross-frequency beat were higher in high fertility bulls after SS + TRT. Reactive oxygen species was correlated with fertility after SS. In addition, there was a decrease in lipid peroxidation was observed only in high fertility bulls. However, lipid peroxidation and high fertility were correlated after PT and SS + TRT. The combination of in vitro sperm kinetic parameters predicted in vivo fertility more accurately than individual kinetic parameters. The lipid peroxidation of sperm is an important indicator of fertility in bulls. High fertility bulls appeared to be more susceptible to lipid peroxidation, which was only reduced in high fertility bulls, suggesting that their sperm can repair the damage induced by oxidative stress.
