English translation. The original article can be found here

This year we are celebrating the fortieth anniversary of the publication of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The document, awaited many years by believers, contained a popularly outlined interpretation of the most important principles of faith, morals, worship and prayer. The purpose of this article is to analyse the significance of this document for the catechetical activities of the Catholic Church in Poland over the past four decades since its publication. The previous Roman Catechism served the Church for more than 400 years. A new document of such stature was to lead to a radical revision of the aims of catechesis, the prominence of its most important contents and the improvement of its methodological instrumentarium. The article will answer the following questions: “Has there really been a religious revival in the stages of adapting the Catechism of the Catholic Church to the realities of the local community of the Polish Church;” “Has it become the basis for a deeper reflection on the current state of catechesis?” It will also be important to answer the question: “Has there been a real popularisation of this document in Polish ecclesial, cultural and educational spaces?”

English translation. The original article can be found here

Contemporary man encounters digitality on a daily basis, which affects his life at specific stages of development. This applies above all to the period of childhood and youth, when one is naturally subjected to educational processes. The Directory of Catechesis points out that this influence is so significant that it allows us to speak of a new culture, changing language, shaping mentality and introducing a new hierarchy of values. An important feature of the new culture is its global reach, because digitality by its nature crosses the borders of countries and continents, and geographical distances lose their importance for it. The ecclesiastical legislator, while respecting the right of every person to attain full personal development, declares in can. 217 CCL/1983 the right of all the faithful to receive an integral Christian education. It is a continuous process that should be adapted not only to age, but also to the mentality of the faithful, which is significantly influenced by the new digital culture. The article answers the question of how to guarantee the right to Christian education in the conditions of digital culture. What duties ensue from this right of the faithful for the Pastors of the Church who carry out for them the mission of proclaiming the Gospel in the conditions of digital culture, with particular emphasis on the postulate of humanization of language.

The specifics of Saratov youth communication practices in social and virtual space
Authors:   Saratov State University, Ivchenkov Sergey G. , Shakhmatova Nadezhda V. ,   Saratov State University
Published: June 2023

The article present the results of sociological monitoring conducted by the method of questioning in Saratov in 2022. According to the probabilistic quota-territorial sample, 698 young Saratov residents were interviewed. The results were processed in the SPSS program. The study showed that communication takes the fifth place among the values of young people (after health, family, friendship and freedom). In the perceptions of young people, the most effective channel of communication is real "live" direct communication. They trust it the most. However, in practice, virtual electronically mediated intermediaries dominate. The more communication is valued, the more young people communicate using the Internet and mobile phones. The majority of young people (55.5%) are satisfied with the time of their communicative processes, which are synthetic by nature, where effective live communication of young people is relatively successfully complemented by telephone communication, but the effectiveness of Internet communications is assessed by them ambiguously. Peers are the main communicators for most young people. However, in the course of time, they need to share experience with younger ones and the circle of communicators increases. The oldest category of young people communicates more often and, at the same time, communicates more often than others by the phone and the Internet. Mutual empathy is the basis for the emergence of stable communicative processes in the youth environment. At the same time, sincerity is especially important for those who communicate directly. For those who communicate by the phone, openness, stability and common interests of hobbies are more important. It is of interest that, in the course of time, the importance of such qualities as selflessness, stability and general experience of the events increases, but the role of sincerity, intimacy, attentiveness, common interests, sincerity of conversation, the opportunity to get advice or support in difficult times decreases. Several barriers for communication of young people have been identified: problems of socio-territorial space; the inertia of inclusion, (the communicator's concern about other problems); anticipation to other people's thoughts, alexithymia (emotional coldness), stereotyping, ambition; rejection - the incompetent invasion of the communicator into the personal space of the recipient; loss of confidence in the interlocutor.
Features of interpretations of state ideology within scholarly discourse of modern Russia
Authors:   Saratov State University, Golovchenko Vladimir I.
Published: June 2023

Within the framework of this article, the main problems associated with the actualization in domestic social science of scientific research on various aspects of the functioning of political ideologies in modern Russia are considered. The author states that for the last year in the subject field of researchers there have been widely discussed such issues as problems of theoretical and methodological foundations for the analysis of ideologies and their role in shaping the worldview of various age groups, constitutional context of functionality of ideologies in Russian politics, imperial tendencies in the ideological and worldview space of Russia, significance of ideologies in socio-political communications, and a number of other important aspects. The author pays main attention to analysis of the changes that have occurred recently in domestic scientific discourse in the interpretation of state ideology, discussions about the expediency and possibility of its adoption, about its value core, about its applied significance in the process of political socialization, and other aspects. Based on the analysis, it was concluded that the majority of supporters of development and normative consolidation of the state ideology underestimate the fact that in modern Russia there are no legal, political, socioeconomic, and socio-cultural prerequisites for this. Nevertheless, in the context of a hybrid war between the United States and its allies against Russia, the public’s awareness of a very real deadly external danger to the country becomes crucial. In author’s opinion, there is not only an objective need, but also the possibility of reaching a consensus on this issue of all the leading political forces in Russia, res ponsible for its fate to future generations. Such public consent of the leading Russian political parties does not require a radical revision of the current Constitution of the Russian Federation and can be adopted in the form of a memorandum, declaration, or any other form that does not claim to be a state ideology.

В монографии приведены результаты исследований популяций Tulipa suaveolens Roth в европейской части ареала. Вид занесён в Красные книги Российской Федерации и фактически всех регионов, где произрастает, как редкий вид с угрозой сокращения ареала и численности. Рассматриваются структура сообществ, в состав которых входит изучаемый вид, характер морфологической изменчивости растений, виталитетная структура популяций, особенности молекулярно-генетического полиморфизма его популяций, структуры и тенденций изменчивости морфологических параметров ценопопуляций и виталитета растений вида, характер эколого-ценотической стратегии Т. suaveolens, эффективность семенного размножения и угрожающие существованию вида факторы. На основе анализа данных делается вывод, что наиболее вероятной причиной наблюдавшихся различий в проявлении показателей виталитета ценопопуляций вида и среднего габитуса растений в них являются, скорее, особенности пространственного распределения генотипической изменчивости, нежели погодные условия. Приведены доказательства того, что T. suaveolens является наиболее вероятным диким предком культурного тюльпана T. gesneriana, который не был найден ранее из-за отсутствия комплексных исследований полиморфизма вида. Для научных работников, а также всех интересующихся проблемами популяционной биологии и сохранения биоразнообразия видов.

Published: June 2023

Background. Fetal and extra fetal diagnostics is currently performed using 3 Tesla magnetic-resonance imaging scanners. Examination is more informative during the third trimester of pregnancy, when fetal movements are less significant. 3 Tesla MR-images demonstrate better characteristics than 1,5 Tesla ones, however, there is a risk of heating the patient during scanning, which is especially dangerous for pregnant women.

Objective. The aim of the study is to improve fetal and extrafetal structures visualization by means of developed metamaterial pad (metadevice).

Design and methods. In the study, a metadevice was considered to improve fetal and extrafetal imaging in a field with magnetic induction of 3 T. 12 pregnant women between 29 and 39 weeks gestation (33,4 ± 4,8 weeks) were examined, standart magnetic resonance images of Single Shot Turbo (SST)/Fast Spin Echo(FSE)) were obtained. Standart abdomen coil was used to receive examination data. Metadevice and the coil were placed on the center of the examined area. The images were evaluated by radiologists on a 5-point Likert scale.

Results of metadevice testing showed diagnostic quality improvement, increase in radio-frequency magnetic field homogeneity, decreased SAR value and reduction in body heating effect during MR-scanning.

Conclusion. Metadevice-assisted MRI can lower heating risks, reduce dielectric artifacts and improve imaging quality of the fetus and extrafetal structures.

Published: June 2023

Background. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder affecting 10-15% of women of reproductive age. PCOS is often associated with metabolic disorders, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and other complications. In recent years, angiogenesis has been widely discussed as an important factor in the pathogenesis of PCOS.

Objective. To identify growth factors in women with PCOS compared with healthy women in normal and overweight subgroups.

Design and methods. This case-control study carried out at the Almazov National Medical Research Centre (ANMRC) included 45 patients with PCOS (22 women with a body mass index (BMI) < 25 kg/m2 and 23 women with a BMI > 25 kg/m2) and 45 women with normal ovulation (22 women with a BMI < 25 kg/m2 and 23 women with a BMI > 25 kg/m2). Seven growth factors were analyzed in the plasma of patients.

Results. Compared to the control group, normal weight women with PCOS had higher plasma levels of EGF (medians were 5.57 and 0 pg/ml, p = 0.040) and FLT3L (medians were 5.0 and 2.25 pg/ml, p = 0.018). Growth factors FGF 2 and TGF alpha were increased in women with PCOS both in overweight and normal weight subgroups (p<0.001).

Conclusion. In both overweight and non-overweight groups, women with PCOS show an increase in growth factors.
Modelling Intersectionality within Quantitative Research
Authors: Gross Christiane , Goldan Lea
Published: June 2023

In the last decades, and especially since 2010, the intersectionality paradigm is being increasingly used as theoretical framework for examining and explaining social inequalities in various areas – both with qualitative and quantitative methods. So far, there is no standard for applying intersectionality in quantitative social research. Therefore, this paper aims to present how intersectionality can be applied in quantitative research and to elaborate on and evaluate several methodological approaches in this regard. More precisely, we describe the tenets of three different quantitative approaches: multivariate linear models, conventional multilevel analysis, and multilevel analysis of individual heterogeneity and discriminatory accuracy (MIAHDA). We compare the three approaches and outline their methodological benefits and limitations.
Intersectional Reflexivity: Centering Invocations and Impositions in Reflexive Accounts of Qualitative Research
Authors: Rodriguez Jenny K , Ridgway Maranda
Published: June 2023

How can researchers write about researcher accountability in a less self-indulgent and more honest way? This paper proposes intersectional reflexivity as an approach that supports producing more detailed accounts of researcher accountability. The paper shows researcher-participant exchanges as sites of intersectional struggle where both researchers and participants engage in invocations and impositions of intersectional identities to navigate their positionality during interactions. Most discussions about reflexivity focus on the power of the researcher, underplaying or ignoring the relevance of co-constructed dynamics and power struggles between researchers and participants. The paper proposes a working protocol to support researchers to understand and use intersectionality in their reflexive accounts to interrogate researcher-participant exchanges in a more nuanced way. The paper expands discussions about privilege and disadvantage in researcher-participant exchanges.
They are Just the Same; Everyday Life of Terrorists’ Families in East Java Indonesia
Authors: Zakiyah  , Koeswinarno  , Farida Anik , Wahab
Published: June 2023

This article aims to investigate the everyday life of terrorists’ families in Surabaya and Sidoarjo East Java Indonesia namely how they have interacted with their neighbors and adapted to the community. Data of this research were gathered through interviews with the neighbors of terrorists’ families and related parties, observing the crime scene of the bombing blast and the neighborhood areas where the terrorist families live, and library research. Results of this study show that the terrorist families of suicide bombings and those raided by Detachment 88 Police Squad were recognized as “ordinary people” by their neighbors and colleagues. Their physical appearances were generally just the same as other Muslims living in their neighborhood; even they participated in several social activities held by the community and interacted with their neighbors openly. This can be recognized as their strategy of adaptation. Thus, they were accepted by the surrounding community, and at the same time, they could still maintain their inner goals as a member of e terrorist group. This paper used the theory of adaptation and Islamic law to examine these aspects, especially how Islam sees jihâd and Inghimâs.

Authors: Zutaah Puotier , Ondigi Samson Rosana , Miheso-O'Connor Marguerite Khakasa
Published: June 2023

The introduction of technology has given opportunities and made it easy for educators to utilize it in various ways, including in the field of education, as an instrument to support the teaching and learning of mathematics. GeoGebra is one of the mathematical software programs that can be effectively used in delivering mathematics lessons. GeoGebra is computer software that supports the teaching and learning of mathematics subjects, especially algebra, calculus, geometry, probability, and statistics. The objectives of this systematic analysis were to investigate pre-service teachers' perceptions and benefits of using GeoGebra to teach geometry. This study used a quantitative research design to review published articles from 2011 to 2021 related to the research objectives. This investigation purposefully sampled 17 published articles out of the over 200 articles found. The study used Google scholar, Google, and Sci Direct as the search engines to gather data using the keywords. The selected articles were validated using content analysis. This investigation selected the 17 articles for data analysis based on the research design, location, area of research, research focus and the type of technology applied. The findings of this study disclosed that pre-service teachers had the following perceptions regarding learning geometry with GeoGebra: GeoGebra enhances the teaching and learning of geometry, it helps learners to have positive perceptions concerning GeoGebra integration, GeoGebra improves learners' interest, motivation, and willingness to learn geometry. Also, it motivates learners to interact among themselves. Nevertheless, some benefits were identified as follows: GeoGebra increases students’ academic performance, develops learners' confidence in learning geometry, makes the learning of mathematics enjoyable, and helps learners to conceptualize abstract concepts in mathematics. Based on the findings of this study, it is concluded that GeoGebra is effective for teaching and learning geometry. This study recommends that mathematics educators should embrace GeoGebra software in the teaching and learning of geometry at the college level of education. Additionally, the Ministry of Education should enforce the integration of GeoGebra in the delivery of mathematics lessons. 
USING THE REACT LEARNING MODEL TO REDUCE STUDENT ANXIETY IN LEARNING MATHEMATICS
Authors: Sitorus Martina Srimega , Saragih Melda Jaya
Published: June 2023

Mathematical anxiety is an emotional response to the entire mathematical activity that affects students' mathematical to psychological abilities. This anxiety is influenced by various factors, such as negative perspectives on mathematics, experiences of failing in learning mathematics, and others. Research data at one Christian High School in Tangerang shows that class X social studies students experience mathematical anxiety where students have difficulty concentrating, are restless, unconfident, and have headaches when learning mathematics. Anxiety affects students' self-confidence and makes the learning process not optimal, so it needs to be reduced. The selection of the REACT model as a solution to this problem leads to varied, contextual, and collaborative learning. The purpose of this writing is to find out the application of the REACT model in reducing the mathematical anxiety of X social studies students. The method used in the research is descriptive qualitative, where data is collected through questionnaires. The results show that the REACT model stages, namely relating, experiencing, applying, cooperating, and transferring, succeeded in reducing the anxiety of class X social studies students towards learning mathematics. During the application of the model, students are seen concentrating while studying, having confidence, daring to ask questions, and others. Applying the REACT model can be a solution for teachers to manage mathematical anxiety while leading students to realize their identity as imago dei who have been reconciled to God in Jesus Christ. Students are endowed with a Divine capacity to do God's work. Reflecting on the implementation of the REACT model, the author suggests recognizing the characteristics of each student the characteristics and collaborating the REACT model with other learning resources.

La Cuvette centrale est le plus vaste complexe de tourbières tropicales au monde, qui s'étend sur environ 145 000 km2 en République du Congo et en République démocratique du Congo. Ce complexe stocke environ 30,6 Pg C, soit l'équivalent de trois années d'émissions mondiales de dioxyde de carbone, et représente désormais le premier site Ramsar transnational. Malgré sa taille et son importance mondiale en tant que puits de carbone, les aspects clés de son écologie et de son histoire, notamment sa formation, l'ampleur des flux de gaz à effet de serre, sa biodiversité et l'histoire de l'activité humaine, demeurent relativement peu connus. Nous synthétisons ici les connaissances disponibles sur la Cuvette centrale, en identifiant des domaines clés pour la poursuite des recherches. Enfin, nous examinons le potentiel des modèles mathématiques pour évaluer les trajectoires futures des tourbières en termes d’impacts prévisibles de l'exploitation de ressources et du changement climatique.

THE PROBLEM OF THE DEMOCRACY DEFICIT IN THE EU: BETWEEN THE POLITICAL ENTITY AND THE MARKET UTOPIA
Authors: Volskiy O. M.
Published: June 2023

The paper examines the problem of the relationship between the practices of the ordoliberal market, electoral democracy, and the sovereignty of the EU and its member states in the conditions of the decline of American hegemony and the beginning of the Chinese accumulation cycle. The first part analyzes the functioning of the EU at the political-institutional and economic levels. Based on the works of Karl Polanyi, Carl Schmitt, and their followers, it was demonstrated that at the institutional level, the neoliberal practices of the pan-European market conflict with the democratic institutions of the EU member states. Limiting national sovereignty in favor of supranational structures leads to limiting the influence of democratic institutions on the decision-making process, which makes European societies vulnerable both to adverse market dynamics and the selfish interests of elite groups. At the economic level, it was demonstrated that the decay of the economic foundations of American hegemony leads to a slowdown in economic growth. The result is both progressive property inequality within the Core of the capitalist world-system, which undermines the functionality of democratic institutions, and a narrowing of the gap between the Core and the Semi-Periphery. As a result, the rise of semi-peripheral states is taking place, undermining the international liberal order with their activity. In the second part, the scenarios of the functioning of the EU in the conditions of the transition of the capitalist world-system from an anarchic to a chaotic functioning state were considered. Based on the works of Aristotle, Charles Tilly and Samuel Huntington, political and institutional solutions were proposed, potentially capable of stabilizing the functioning of the EU and preserving it as a space of liberal practices of a good life.
POPULISM AS A CHALLENGE TO DEMOCRATIC PROCESSES IN THE EUROPEAN UNION
Authors: Burdiuh M.
Published: June 2023

The article examines the problems of the cause and manifestations of modern populism in the countries of the European Union, which has intensified over the past two decades. The growth of radical ideas, the ideas of multiculturalism and globalization, and migration processes in Europe intensify the complex processes of arranging a single political, economic and cultural space. Populist activity underlines the increasing mistrust of the electorate towards classical parties, which cannot solve urgent public demands. The current populist activism results from a structural transformation that involves: the growth of undemocratic liberalism; changing relations between ruling politicians and those under control; democratization of mass media, which appear to be interconnected, which enhances their collective effect. Individual populist parties act as contenders in national elections; in some countries (Hungary, Poland), they have obtained a leadership role. The populism of parties in the European Union is often tangential to other ideological directions (liberalism, socialism, etc.). Europe is choosing between carrying out the necessary reforms, strengthening liberal democracy and human rights, supporting diversity and equality, and an economic nationalist federation of states that dismantles the concept of liberal democracy. Liberal ideology, based on undemocratic principles, gradually strengthened populist sentiments, and European society's existing problems and crises accelerated the promotion of populism among the broad electoral masses. Gender issues, antiimmigrant sentiments, anti-European rhetoric, and nationalist movements are on the agenda. The growing number of populist parties means it is necessary to rethink the characteristics of institutional structures and the role of individual players in political activity. Ignoring the above may increase the pressure on liberal democracy, which ensures the protection of human rights and freedoms, supports the rule of law, and implements pan-European progressive values.
THE ROLE OF YOUTH IN THE FORMATION OF YOUTH POLICY IN UKRAINE: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES
Authors: Yermolenko I.
Published: June 2023

The article is devoted to the study of the role of youth in the formation of youth policy in Ukraine. The opinion is substantiated that youth is the most powerful resource of any democratic country and, accordingly, should be one of the main subjects of creating an effective and efficient youth policy. It is the young generation that is the strategic resource of the country and its intellectual potential that will shape the agenda in the future, accordingly, ensuring an effective youth policy serves as an indicator of successful state building. Taking into account the potential of the young generation, its features as a social group and the role it plays, it is necessary to take into account the fact that young people are both the object of youth policy aimed at management activities and the subject when their potential and creativity are directed to participation in life society, forming and correcting the relevant policy with the help of certain tools. It is the latter that serves as an additional resource and a new impetus in these processes. It is described in detail that the youth policy is a comprehensive approach aimed at the active participation of the youth themselves in solving problems that directly affect them. The author emphasizes that the effectiveness of actions is possible only with quality assurance of the participation of the young generation in the processes that directly affect them. The benchmark in such a case should be aimed at creating a comfortable environment for the life and development of the young generation, first of all, in their own community, which can be ensured through the development of youth infrastructure and, most importantly, the active involvement of young people in the process of decisionmaking and implementation, as well as their control implementation and evaluation of the obtained results.
FACTORS OF ELECTORAL (NON) PARTICIPATION OF CITIZENS IN THE CONTEXT OF RATIONAL CHOICE THEORY
Authors: Mushchenko Ya.
Published: June 2023

The article is devoted to the study of the factors of electoral (non)participation of citizens in the context of the theory of rational choice. The author pays the main attention to the variables that make it possible to calculate the potential effectiveness of voting for a particular citizen, including the probability of the decisive vote, benefits from voting, and losses from voting. The author emphasizes that, according to the theory of rational choice, citizens make simple calculations to determine whether it is appropriate to vote, taking into account the abovementioned variables. According to the model of rational choice, for the vast majority of citizens, voting is completely irrational, since the weight of one vote is insignificant, the benefits of voting are negligible, and the costs are quite significant. However, most voters spend the resources to show up at the polling station on polling day and cast their own single vote for their preferred candidate. In this case, the paradox of voting arises and the limitations of the theory of rational choice are revealed. The author highlights that several additions or variations of the theory have been presented by the scientific community. In particular, among them, the positive decision to vote is explained by the desire to support the functioning of democratic processes; a sense of civic duty; a desire to minimize maximum losses; faith in the decisive vote; mobilization efforts of politicians; minimal expenses for the voter; a conviction that calculations are impractical. Each amendment is characterized by both advantages for understanding electoral behavior in the context of the theory, and disadvantages, which often come down to ignoring the fundamental variables of the theory and giving the psycho-emotional factor an exceptionally prominent place. The author points out that a reassessment of the initial values of the theory, namely the probability that the single vote will become decisive and the cost of the spent voter`s resources, can lead to a completely new interpretation of the theory and scientific results.
THE MAIN AGENDA OF IMPROVEMENT OF UKRAINE’S MOBILIZATION POTENTIAL BASING ON THE OPTIMIZATION OF HUMAN CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT PROCESSES
Authors: Choliy S.
Published: June 2023

This article is devoted to the finalization of the theoretical results of the research project ‘The improvement of the methods of the human capital development as a factor for the improvement of Ukraine’s mobilization potential’, Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic institute, 2017-2020. The main goal of the research was the search for interdependencies and correlation of two mainstream development processes: human capital development and Ukraine’s mobilization potential for military and other possible purposes of contemporary life. The article describes the main challenges and management models used in Ukraine during the last hundred years to shape mobilization potential and defensive capacity. There is a general interdependence in civil-military relations that could be described as a gradual implementation of certain manning strategies for armed forces in Europe, and later – in the whole world. This situation has been repeated already for several times, and now the global trend is an all-volunteer force, based on the free will of a person to be a soldier. The realities of the Ukrainian situation and military conflicts, where it is involved, demonstrate the contradiction of the current situation, global trends, and expectations of the population of Ukraine. In this article, such analysis is made based on previous and actual military conflicts of Ukraine and Russia in particular. The shaping and control of processes of human capital development could become the basis for the stabilization of paradigm shifts in the current geopolitical situation. The article provides suggestions and practical advice for the improvement of the state policy of Ukraine.
Far Eastern Regions of RF in Modern Russian-Chinese Cooperation
Authors: Baklanov P. , Larin V.
Published: June 2023

The article discusses the favorable prerequisites for the development of cross-border cooperation between Russia and China, the announced intentions of the parties and compares them with the concrete results of economic cooperation in the last decade. The analysis shows that in the second decade of the 21st century, trade and economic ties between the territories of the Far Eastern Federal District and China developed unevenly and by the end of the decade stagnated at the level of 2011–2013, and the share of this district in Russian-Chinese trade decreased from 14 to 9.5%. The Far Eastern Federal District has rich natural resources, intellectual, scientific, technical, and recreational potential, which, as the study of documents of the border territories of the PRC shows, is in a big demand in this country. However, favorable conditions for the development of cross-border relations and high expectations of both sides are not realized either on the Russian or Chinese parts of the borderland. Comprehension of these conditions and the past experience of Russian-Chinese relations leads the authors to the conclusion that the governments of both the Russian Federation and the PRC no longer declaratively, but on a scientific basis, approach the coordination of both plans and projects, and practical activities for the development of adjacent territories of the two states. They also recommend the Russian government to work out the strategy of cross-border cooperation with China.
Germany and the Process of Military-Political Formats System Rebuilding by the U.S. in Indo-Pacific Region
Authors: Trunov F.
Published: June 2023

The article notes the dynamic evolution of confrontation between the USA, their partners and China during the early 2020s. The sides of the confrontation have also begun to discuss the rules which can prevent the uncontrolled escalation. But it did not mean the termination of the military potentials’ races. The White House has rebuilt and expanded the system of military-political formats in the Indo-Pacific region. The policy first of all includes the establishment of AUKUS (2021, September) and the “Blue Pacific Alliance” (2022, June). Accordingly, the USA have been trying to stimulate the European partners to make military contribution to the containment of the PRC. In this regard, the article pays special attention to Germany. The paper compares its present and possible military contribution to the deterrence of Russia and containment of China, the unpreparedness for the active usage of NATO in the second case. This unreadiness was a rather important element of German efforts for the strategic anchoring to the Indo-Pacific region. The USA had tried to encourage the FRG to change its approach. The result of this policy on the track of NATO was limited, mostly declarative. The system of military-political formats created by Washington has another meaning. The structures have been used not only for the containment of the PRC, but also for the regulation of European countries’ policy in the Indo-Pacific region in a direction favorable to the U.S. The article concludes with two possible scenarios of the future German political-military strategy in the Indo-Pacific region.
Exploring a Mainland Chinese Undergraduate’s Linguistic Identity Trajectory in Hong Kong
Authors: Zuo Suiling
Published: June 2023

The internationalisation of higher education witnesses the increasing student mobility across borders and the emergence of more and more EMI universities worldwide, which may simultaneously offer opportunities to and pose challenges on cross-border students’ language experiences and identities. The intra-state cross-border context of mainland Chinese students pursuing higher education in Hong Kong is a unique one, given the close ties between the two sides and Hong Kong’s multilingual ecology. However, not enough attention seems to have been given to these students’ linguistic experiences, especially in terms of how their linguistic identities evolve across time and space.Therefore, this case study aims to delve into the linguistic identity trajectory of a mainland Chinese undergraduate studying in Hong Kong, with specific emphasis on how and why her linguistic self-identifications might be multiple, dynamic, contesting and contextually situated. Purposefully selecting the participant, the study adopts Photo-Elicitation Interviews to elicit her narratives from visual materials. Her detailed and unique language use stories exhibit a conversion from contradictory and competing multiple linguistic identities to a core and relatively stable multilingual identity. Moreover, by identifying the contributing factors, this study argues that individuals’ linguistic identities reside in an organic system of language ideology, power relation and community, with the complex interplay between factors contributing to the constant evolution of linguistic identities.
Ethnic variability of growth processes through the prism of sexual dimorphism of body dimensions (based on data of early and first childhood children)

The study deals with the process of forming of the level and vector of sex somatic differences through early and first childhood, specific peculiarities of sexual dimorphism at 3–6 years of age as compared to the sexual dimorphism of adults, ethnic heterogeneity of sexual dimorphism dynamics of main anthropometric dimensions (height, weight, chest girth); most adequate algorithms of analysis of data considering age peculiarities. Generali-zation of vast material on children of Russia and former USSR of 1950s–2010s (over 200 samples) allowed to describe convincing conformities of intergroup distribution of sex somatic dimorphism; different by sex vector of significant correlations of standardized levels of sexual dimorphism of dimensions with average population values of dimensions themselves — positive for boys , negative for girls, which may be interpreted as confirmation of the contribution of somatic variability of both sexes to forming of sexual differences. When analyzed of data locally, under greater enlargement, sexual dimorphism allowed to estimate inter-ethnic specificity of somatic growth dy-namics. In particular, definite sex synchrony of growth dynamics of Russian children regardless of the ecological niche of development through early and first childhood; similar synchrony for some groups of different ethnicity. To fix well known in age physiology effect of decreasing of growth activity before semigrowth spurt, which chrono-logical age differs between populations, for the case of more homogeneous groups. Thus, the results show the sensitivity of sexual dimorphism of body dimensions as the informative indicator of ethno-territorial diversity of somatic status and growth dynamics through early and first childhood.
