Authors: Pené Mónica Gabriela , Bossié Florencia , Calvente Victoria , Giménez Flavia
Published: March 2021

Hoy día es notorio el interés que existe en la comunidad académica por los archivos personales. En el relevamiento de la literatura publicada en América Latina predominan textos sobre un fondo personal específico –a partir del cual se trabaja la noción de archivo personal, su organización, descripción y preservación– pero es escaso el relato de experiencias en bibliotecas. Esta investigación exploratoria-descriptiva tiene por objetivo conocer, mediante una encuesta, la cohabitación de fondos personales en bibliotecas universitarias argentinas de gestión pública y privada, así como la opinión de sus responsables en relación a la disponibilidad de este tipo de documentos en sus instituciones. La población de estudio estuvo conformada por las bibliotecas pertenecientes a 131 instituciones de educación superior. Para la recolección de datos se elaboró un cuestionario. Sobre 35 respuestas obtenidas, los resultados muestran que la mitad de las bibliotecas poseen este tipo de fondo, la mayoría ha confeccionado algún instrumento de descripción, 40 % ha iniciado su digitalización, 17 % cuenta con políticas en materia archivística, y 80 % de los responsables de biblioteca valoran positivamente el ingreso de archivos personales; todas señales de que las bibliotecas están replanteando sus prácticas y políticas frente a estas valiosas fuentes de información.

Authors: Salazar Roberto , Biswas Tanmoy , Czartowski Jakub , Życzkowski Karol , Horodecki Paweł
Published: March 2021

The optimal allocation of resources is a crucial task for their efficient use in a wide range of practical applications in science and engineering. This paper investigates the optimal allocation of resources in multipartite quantum systems. In particular, we show the relevance of proportional fairness and optimal reliability criteria for the application of quantum resources. Moreover, we present optimal allocation solutions for an arbitrary number of qudits using measurement incompatibility as an exemplary resource theory. Besides, we study the criterion of optimal equitability and demonstrate its relevance to scenarios involving several resource theories such as nonlocality vs local contextuality. Finally, we highlight the potential impact of our results for quantum networks and other multi-party quantum information processing, in particular to the future Quantum Internet.

Social Capital of Youth in a Modern City: Opportunities for Empirical Research
Authors: Shentyakova Anna Vladimirovna
Published: March 2021

Modern megalopolis concentrates all groups of resources including economic, political, cultural, information, human resources, etc. The high population density, economic and geographic situation, complex multiethnic and multicultural structure of large cities contribute to certain types of values and behavioral models in the younger generation. The neo-institutional approach and social capital theory were chosen as a methodological basis. The article examines a number of methodological works devoted to various aspects of the social capital and explores the opportunity for this concept application for analysis of the protest behavior motivation and assessment of the protest potential of young people. Combination of the economic model of multilevel analysis for measuring social capital by S.А. Sysoev and socio-political parameters for the empirical part allowed to clearly defining the main categories and indicators of analysis. Measuring the levels of social capital of a megalopolis with the inclusion a network component expands the range of opportunities for assessing and identifying the protest potential of large Russian cities residents.
Youth Public Associations’ Political Engagement in Russia: The Case of Krasnodar Krai
Authors: Pilipenko Alexander Dmitrievich
Published: March 2021

The article defines the place and role of youth public associations in the socio-political processes of modern Russia, analyzes the political activity of Russian youth. The study was conducted among young people in the Krasnodar region using the questionnaire developed by the author, as well as methods for determining the level of activity and motivation of the population. The data obtained allow us to determine the degree of involvement of young people in the activities of NGOs and political processes in the Krasnodar territory. The conducted research has shown the strengthening of the influence of youth public associations on socio-political processes, personnel policy, activation of their activities in the field of public diplomacy, volunteer movement, articulation of the interests of young people as a special social group of the population. Youth public associations are able to structure and regulate the activity of young Russian citizens, directing it in a constructive direction, while reducing the degree of protest moods if it is present. They do this work more effectively than the authorized state authorities, because they act on the ground, i.e. they work directly with representatives of the youth community, understand their needs, catch the mood and are able to change the current agenda without resorting to radical methods.

Three questions to start the sociological study of heroism
Authors: Trotsuk I. V. , Subbotina M. V.
Published: March 2021

Despite the understandable and predictable lack of sociological interest in the issues related to heroism, the search for clear and unambiguous conceptual and empirical definitions of the hero in the contemporary society seems to be a relevant sociological task, especially under the current pandemic which made the criteria of heroism interesting for the wider public. The authors briefly outline the main aspects of the traditional scientific interpretations of heroism as presented in the social-cultural narratives worldwide, and proceed to the issues that constitute the field of the sociological studies on heroism. The first research question is not so much a single definition of the hero as types of heroes based on social representations of when and how heroes reveal themselves in decisions and actions. The authors rely on the traditional typologies of heroes usually based on the psychological aspects of heroic thinking and behavior to suggest a sociologically relevant typology based on both literature and the Russian public opinion polls. This typology implies answers to the questions of why the society needs heroes and what makes someone a hero in the eyes of the society, and allows to better understand and to more precisely define the false/pseudo/antiheroism. The second research question is about the sources of images and understanding of heroism, which focuses on the mass media and especially cinemas potential to represent certain social practices as heroic and to construct heroic images. The third research question is about the possibilities of the empirical sociological study of the types of heroes and their representation in the media (cinema). The authors argue that sociology should use its own methods (in a combination with techniques for studying the audiences perception of movies) - content analysis and surveys, especially the unfinished sentences technique, and provide some examples of how this can be done, for instance, to compare the social representations of a real hero and a movie hero among different age groups and generations. The authors conclude with mentioning a new issue associated with heroism, which became evident under the pandemic - changes in the social representations of heroism determined by heroization of healthcare workers due to their selfless fight against the coronavirus epidemic.
Lifestyle diseases: Health in the contemporary city
Authors: Martynenko T. S.
Published: March 2021

The article presents an overview of studies of the factors that affect health in the contemporary city. The increase in the urban population makes it necessary to analyze factors (environmental, social, etc.) and features of the urban structure in terms of their impact on the quality and standards of living. However, assessments of the city in the study of healthy lifestyle are contradictory. On the one hand, researchers emphasize the availability of medical care, effective fight against infectious diseases, and numerous attempts to transform the visual urban space. On the other hand, researchers stress the spatial inequality of the urban structure (for example, in access to health care), the spread of noncommunicable and lifestyle diseases in cities, the destruction of social ties and the problem of loneliness. Therefore, it is necessary to systematize the current research, identify the main risks of urban lifestyle, and discuss the role of social sciences in such interdisciplinary studies. The proposed typology of health research in the contemporary city is based on Yu.P. Lisitsyns ratio of factors that determine the level of health. Although many studies claim an integrated approach, the analysis showed that most of them present one of three approaches: the study of sanitary-hygienic features of the urban space (or its medical aspects); the study of ecology and architecture of the urban space; the study of social-psychological features of the urban lifestyle. The systematization of the main risks of the urban lifestyle allowed the author to identify the priority areas of its study. Thus, based on the features of the covid-19 pandemic in cities, the author argues that there is a need for more active participation of sociologists in the discussion of both infectious and non-communicable diseases, which should focus on social factors of their spread, course, prevention and control.
The student youth’s universal values and the Russian society development
Authors: Ryazantsev I. P. , Podlesnaya M. A. , Bogdan I. V.
Published: March 2021

In recent decades, the concept of sustainable development has become the key theoretical focus for most countries. Traditions and values play an important role in ensuring sustainable development, including the attitudes of the younger generation, especially of the student youth who plan their professional future in Russia or abroad. The student youth preferences largely determine the country's development strategy and the assessment of its human capital. In 2018, the authors conducted the second wave of the empirical study Spiritual-moral culture of the Russian university (first wave - in 2012) which focused on the values of students of such leading universities as the Lomonosov Moscow State University and Saint Petersburg State University, and of such regional universities as the Tyumen State University, Samara State Technical University and Sevastopol State University. The research was conducted by a mass survey of 2505 students, including an online questionnaire. The concept of traditionalist modernization was used as an explanatory model. The article presents the results of the factor analysis of students value orientations according to the Schwartz scale and of students leisure practices, and also such indicators as authority, responsibility and tolerance of students. The authors come to the conclusion about the youths universal values that are quite flexible in relation to both modernization and preservation of the Russian specifics, which is somewhat different from the 2012 study with a more evident commitment to traditionalism. The authors interpret this fact as a generational feature of people born in the prosperous 2000s, which proves the gradual transition of the Russian society to the universal values, a combination of different value foundations and a departure from paternalistic attitudes. The article presents the results of the comparative analysis of some priorities of metropolitan and regional universities students, identifies the specifics of both types of universities, which allows to stress the different degrees of values universalism.

The aims of this research are how the existence of Islamic Boarding School (pesantren) ISC Aswaja Lintang Songo Piyungan Yogyakarta in implementing education that liberates its students and how progressivism views a liberating education in this pesantren. This research is naturalistic qualitative research and the strategy used is a case study. The objects of this research are a pesantren leader (kiai) and several senior teachers. Data obtained through observations, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis technique uses the Miles and Huberman model analysis. The results of this research indicate that independent education in this pesantren is the starting point for implementing liberating education. This pesantren has an education system which is different from other pesantren, in that kiai gives liberation for their students (santri) to choose activities inside and outside pesantren. Therefore, in the view of progressivism, there are at least five things seen from the education process in this pesantren, namely 1). Kiai does not use their leadership in an authoritarian manner, 2). Kiai never carries out an exclusive educational process, 3). Kiai gives flexibility to santri in understanding Islamic education material, 4). Pesantren education has to continue to be open to social realities, and 5). The educational process carried out in pesantren is education of individual and social awareness.
THE YORÙBÁ’S PEACEFULNESS ENHANCED BY AN INFORMAL PEACE EDUCATION
Authors: Olayinka Akintayo Sunday
Published: March 2021

This paper is a review of the southwest Nigerian Yorùbá and their
recognized peacefulness in the context of Nigeria as a country. It
attempts to address the peacefulness amidst the Nigeria unstable
circumstances and in comparison, with the established peaceful societies
(PS). The first part of the paper provides a concise discussion about
peace and conflict studies as it developed in the West followed by an
outline of conflicts in Nigeria and amongst the Yorùbá to identify a gap
for this inquiry. The paper suggests the Yorùbá multireligious community
provides some clues to how peacefulness could be retained in a society.
Similarly, it suggests the roles informal peace education play in
supporting people of different beliefs but same culture to retain their
harmony. The author, nevertheless, left a challenge to move the study of
PS beyond the agrarian and rural communities to investigate more modern
societies for peacefulness.

NOTE: This article is taken from part of chapter 2 and the
conclusion of the author’s doctoral thesis, with a few amendments.
Cardiac resynchronization therapy: Interventricular delay during ventricular and supraventricular tachyarrhythmia
Authors: Roland Stroobandt , Andreas Kucher
Published: March 2021

Introduction

Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) for cardiac
resynchronization therapy (CRT-D) with the capability of LV sensing
enable the assessment of interventricular delays in ventricular (VT) and
supraventricular tachycardias (SVT).

Methods and Results

In total, 1078 EGM recordings of VT or VF episodes were investigated
that have been transmitted via Home Monitoring. Only those EGM
recordings showing the onset of the tachyarrhythmia were used for
investigation. In the 623 cases eligible for evaluation leftsided VTs
could be identified in 349 cases, right-sided VTs in 252 cases. SVTs
with a 1:1 antegrade conduction were found in 22 cases. VT can present
three different interventricular delays whereby the right-ventricular
sensed event (RVs) is either preceding the left-ventricular sensed event
(LVs), or the LVs is preceding RVs, or there can be a simultaneous
occurrence of RVs and LVs. In SVTs, either the LVs events were delayed
or occurred simultaneously with the RVs events. SVT cases with LVs
preceding the RVs events were not found.

Conclusion

The LV-EGM channel enables to distinguish between left- and right-sided
premature ventricular complexes. The assessment of the interventricular
delay in VTs is useful to differentiate between a possible apical-,
left- or right-sided origin of the VT but not to identify SVTs.

SCN5A gene variants are associated with both Brugada syndrome and
conduction disturbances, sometimes expressing an overlapping phenotype.
Functional consequences of SCN5A variants assessed by patch clamp
electrophysiology are particularly beneficial for a correct pathogenic
classification and are related to disease penetrance and severity. Here,
we identify a novel SCN5A loss of function variant,
p.1449Y>H, which presented with high penetrance and
complete left bundle branch block, totally masking the typical findings
on the electrocardiogram. We highlight the possibility of this overlap
combination that makes impossible an electrocardiographic diagnosis and,
through a functional analysis, associate the p.1449Y>H
variant to SCN5A pathogenicity.
Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) in Serbia: Its presence on aphid-infested plants and co-occurrence with native Aphidophagous coccinellids

Published: March 2021

The presence of the invasive coccinellid Harmonia axyridis in aphid colonies
on plants, as well as its co-occurrence with native coccinellid predators
was studied in the period 2011-2020. Also, its occurrence on fruit plants
and grapes was monitored at harvest time. Research was conducted on 41
locations in Serbia. The feeding of this invasive species was recorded on a
total of 43 aphid taxa of 25 different genera. It was most frequently
present on aphid colonies of the genera Aphis, Brachycaudus and Myzus. The
presence of H. axyridis in aphid colonies was recorded on 58 cultivated
plant species: 10 fruit, 7 field crop, 5 vegetable and 16 ornamental
species, as well as 20 non-cultivated plants. Harmonia axyridis feeding was
also observed on mature fruit plants of cultivated blueberries, nectarine
and grapes in representative production areas in Serbia. Nine native
coccinellid species were detected in this study: Adalia bipunctata, Adalia
decempunctata, Coccinella septempunctata, Hippodamia sp., Hippodamia
apicalis, Hippodamia variegata, Hippodamia tredecimpunctata, Hippodamia
undecimnotata and Propylea quatuordecimpunctata. Populations of H. axyridis
and native coccinellids co-occurred in aphid colonies on many plants, i.e.
in 53.45% of all samples. The results inferred that H. axyridis as a
predator of numerous aphids on many plants is a useful coccinellid species.
However, it may also be considered as a potential pest in fruit and grape
production, and a threat to native aphidophagous coccinellids.
Effect of welding speed, pulse frequency, and pulse width on the weld shape and temperature distribution in dissimilar laser welding of stainless steel 308 and brass alloy
Authors: Ding Haijuan , Ma Jiaxing , Zhao Chengtao , Zhao Debiao
Published: March 2021

Laser welding of brass and stainless steel alloys is of special importance due to its wide application in the industries related to energy production. In this study, laser welding of heterogeneous metals was performed in a laboratory. Measurements of the temperature around the molten pool showed changes in the welding conditions. By changing different parameters such as welding speed, frequency, and pulse width, different thermal gradients were obtained. The results showed that the formation of the molten pool was asymmetric, and it was mostly done by melting the brass alloy. Due to the lower melting temperature and the high heat transfer rate of the brass alloy, the measured temperature and the molten volume of this alloy were higher. The microstructure of the molten pool also included intermetallic compounds. Increasing the dimensions of the molten pool (width and depth) by raising the peak power and reducing the welding speed was more effective than other parameters. The microhardness results also indicated the higher weld strength of the brass alloy with stainless steel rather than pure copper. At the range of the investigated process parameters, the adjacent temperature near the molten pool was about 20% (30 °C) higher for the brass alloy, in comparison to stainless steel, when the pulse frequency and pulse width were changed.

Published: March 2021

With the deepening of globalization, mutual cultural communication has become a trend. China's comprehensive national strength is constantly increasing and its influence is also expanding. In the process of cultural communication, Chinese folk culture works are gradually favored by western readers and become one of the channels for the west to understand China. The Right Bank of Argun (2005) is the work of Chi zijian, a Chinese female writer who has won many awards. It was translated by American Sinologist Bruce Humes into English, renamed The Last Quarter of the Moon, and finally published in The United Kingdom in 2013. The spread of The Last Quarter of the Moon around the world is conducive to the spread of Chinese culture and plays a positive role. This thesis takes Susan Bassnett’s cultural translation theory as the theoretical basis, combines the analysis of related translation strategies, and analyzes the relevant corpora through examples, intensive research on the translation of folk culture in The Last Quarter of the Moon.

Published: March 2021

The existing technical requirements for protective clothing of the employees of metallurgical enterprises are very general and do not consider the full variety of hazardous factors of industries in this area. Metallurgist special clothing should not only reliably protect against fire and heat exposure, but also provide for comfortable work environment. Methodology and criteria for assessment of the fabric thermal resistance, which are the basis for the requirements of metallurgist protective clothing, do not fully consider the real thermal and fire loads on the material of the protective suits top, that may result in the loss of the physical, mechanical, and protective properties of the fabric, as well as its destruction. It is advisable to develop a more comprehensive approach to the thermal safety requirements, which considers the actual loads on the fabric for selecting the protective clothing material. It is required to ensure not only its fire and heat resistance and integrity of the operational properties, but also comfortable working conditions that allow employees to perform their professional duties more efficiently. Experimental studies were conducted (in laboratory and production conditions) on the assessment of the thermal insulation ability, resistance to ignition, spills, and splashes of the molten metals for the materials recommended by the foreign and Russian companies for the top of metallurgists special clothing. It is shown that the materials made of a mixture of heat-resistant and wool fibers have advantages over other materials. The development of new materials from a mixture of heat-resistant and modified fibers with the improved functional characteristics is one of the promising and necessary areas at the development of suits for the employees in the metallurgical industry. Structural and methodological scheme is proposed that ensures an integrated approach to the development of special protective clothing for the metallurgists. Establishment of the thermal safety requirements in this approach is carried out considering the specifics of the personnel work, real thermal and fire loads on the fabric.

At many gas and gas condensate fields in operation, carbon dioxide (СО2) is present in the scope of the produced products, which, in combination with the natural and technological factors, stimulates intensive development of the internal corrosion processes in the pipelines and equipment. The relevance of the development of native regulatory documentation aimed at the assessment of the corrosion effects and development of the practical recommendations for protection against carbon dioxide corrosion in the last decade is due to the development of new gas fields in Russia with a high CO2 content (including on the Russian offshore), where there is a risk of local corrosion development with a high flow rate. The presence of CO2 in the produced gas in combination with the moisture and other factors stimulates the intensive development of corrosion processes and requires careful attention to the assessment of the corrosion aggressiveness of operating environments for selecting an efficient anti-corrosion protection. This is required to ensure reliable and safe operation of the equipment and pipelines made of carbon steel. Pipe low-alloy steel of 09G2S (09Mn2Si) grade, which is the most widely used at the domestic gas facilities, is not resistant to carbon dioxide corrosion. The experience of operating foreign deposits under conditions of carbon dioxide corrosion confirms the need and efficiency of considering this corrosion aspect at the facilities design stage. Incorrect assessment and underestimation of CO2 hazard in the produced hydrocarbons in relation to steel equipment and pipelines can lead to unaccounted corrosion risks (up to the facility shutdown), significant costs for the elimination of corrosion consequences (repairs, etc.), and the need to select and justify urgent corrective measures. Accounting the Russian and international experience allows to make a reasonable choice of rational technical solutions for efficient and safe operation of the deposits in conditions of carbon dioxide corrosion.

Published: March 2021

Production facilities that have complex electric power structure should be provided with an efficient system of diagnostics and control of electrical installations operating modes. Constant monitoring of electrical installations parameters is required to create a database and a knowledge base for the purpose of forecasting and managing technogenic risks at the functioning of the «Man — Electrical Installation — Environment» system. The methods used for modeling hazard of electrical installations are providing for risk assessment in the weakly structurered man-machine system «Man — Electrical Installation — Environment» with a causal relationship that interact with the risk-forming factors that are directly effecting on the technogenic risks. Methods of temporal logic with the construction of fuzzy modeling algorithms allow to determine the dynamic properties of the system under consideration. The occurrence of the risk of a dangerous situation is considered as a technogenic risk and depends on the probability of a dangerous technogenic situation with subsequent injuries and damage. In this regard, considering the peculiarities of managing technogenic risks of the electric power infrastructure of an enterprise, the compilation of a simulation model includes the stages of forming the knowledge base by an expert way using the method of fuzzy inference for dynamic descriptions of the «Man — Electrical Installation — Environment» system. They consider the influence of time-related factors between the fuzzy signs of risk-forming factors and the technogenic risk value. The interaction and mutual influence of risk-forming factors are described using the logical signs «AND» and «OR» with the fuzzy operation «Priority And». During the temporal-logical analysis, the knowledge base was formed with the given temporal relationships of risk-forming factors. As a result of fire risks calculation using fuzzy-temporal statements and without them, the corresponding values were obtained: 235·10–6 in the first case, 98·10–6 — in the second one. Given that the standard fire risk value is 1·10–6, the risk level will be acceptable.

STOCK MARKET ANOMALIES: A CASE OF CALENDAR EFFECTS ON THE MALAYSIAN STOCK MARKET
Authors: Mohamad Shariff Nurul Sima , Yusof Nur Aisyah
Published: March 2021

The existence of market anomalies for the return reveals the inefficiency in the market that could affect investor investment strategy, portfolio selection, and profit management. It is due to the unpredictable movement of the stock market return that will affect the decision of investors later. As such, this study intends to investigate day of the week effect, a month of the year effect, and a quarter of the year effect on the Malaysian Stock Exchange, namely the Kuala Lumpur Composite Index (KLCI) on data from 2nd January of 2015 until 31st December 2018. Based on the findings from Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH) model analysis, it is found that the daily effect on returns was insignificant. Possible reasons for the insignificant return could be due to the lack of time-series data. However, the significant monthly effect on returns of May, November, and December while the quarterly effect on the returns is found significant in the first quarter. This study also concludes that volatility shock is persistent in the returns for all those three market anomalies.
Activismo e investigación: recuperando el concepto de neutralidad valorativa en la formación de tipos ideales
Authors: Cáñez Cota Antonio
Published: March 2021

El presente artí­culo discute la propuesta metodológica weberiana de tipo ideal como una manera de encontrar neutralidad-libertad valorativa en la investigación social contemporánea, la cual exige un mayor involucramiento de los investigadores con los problemas prácticos que ocurren a su alrededor. En la actualidad, el individualismo metodológico es una de las metodologí­as más utilizadas, su fundación se sostiene en las aportaciones de Max Weber, que se pueden resumir en tres: la primera se refiere a la transparencia de la cuestión valorativa del investigador; la segunda es la construcción de una acción racional de tipo ideal como instrumento de interpretación con alta disciplina cientí­fica; por último, se muestra el manejo de la información empí­rica para imputar una relación causal apropiada para el contexto histórico que se analiza. La principal aportación del artí­culo es que muestra cada una de las fases del método de elaboración de tipos ideales, con el fin de ofrecer una alternativa para el tránsito entre la investigación y el activismo: separar y explicitar los valores teóricos-conceptuales de los prácticos-emocionales.

Reflexiones teórico-metodológicas sobre algunos dilemas en el estudio de prácticas sexuales clandestinas
Authors: Esparza Escalante Miguel Angel , Yuni José Alberto , Urbano Claudio Ariel
Published: March 2021

El artí­culo aborda algunas cuestiones dilemáticas de orden teórico-metodológico surgidas en el ejercicio de reflexividad propio de toda investigación social de orientación crí­tica. El estudio de prácticas sociales clandestinas ha concitado históricamente el interés de los investigadores por sus implicancias metodológicas y éticas. Las prácticas clandestinas que abordamos remiten a la sexualidad masculina, lo que agrega otra densidad a la investigación, especialmente en lo relativo al trabajo de campo y a la interpretación de la información. En la primera parte, el texto contextualiza la investigación que origina esta reflexión en términos conceptuales y la localiza en un espacio socio-cultural especí­fico. Posteriormente, se explicitan algunas decisiones metodológicas que estructuran nuestra estrategia de abordaje del trabajo de campo desde el enfoque etnográfico. En la última parte, se contrastan algunas prescripciones metodológicas de investigadores del campo de los estudios de la sexualidad y de autores reconocidos del enfoque etnográfico, con registros extraí­dos de la bitácora del relevamiento en campo, elaborada en el proceso de observación participante efectuado en escenarios de prácticas sexuales clandestinas de hombres que tienen relaciones sexuales con hombres. Esta contrastación pretende mostrar las tensiones metodológicas que debe afrontar el investigador social que aborda un objeto connotado por la clandestinidad, así­ como algunas cuestiones dilemáticas de orden ético.

The broad objective of the study is to examine the impact of Nigeria Fadama National development project on Agropreneur’s business development in Osun state, Nigeria. The sample size selected was Two hundred and seventy (270). Multi-stage sampling was adopted, and Simple random sampling design was used. Data collection method was a close-ended questionnaire. Linear Regression, Multiple Regression and Anova were used to test the Hypotheses of the study. The study shows that rural infrastructure variables used in the selected study area significantly predicted the level of Business Development, F (1,268) = 30.413, p < 0.05 F – statistical indicates that the overall regression model is highly statistically significant in terms of its goodness of fit since the value of Ftab (1,268) >Fcal (30.413). It also shows the magnitude of the difference, since the sig level is greater than 0.05 i.e 0.811, 0.985. The study reveals that only 0.9 per cent variance exists between the selected genders. In conclusion capacity building has really assisted farmers in adopting new technology in farming which led to an increase and expansion of their business outlets. The study recommends: Regular training for farmers to discover their skills in diversifying into various businesses within the agricultural sector using new technology should be encouraged by all stakeholders in business of food security and provision of grants to enable them expand their business desires.

Alignment of accounting with information technology aims to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of an organisation. This study's main objective is to investigate the influence of accounting with information technology on an organisation's effective performance, such as Cost Reduction, Improving Quality, and Effective Decision Making. Using the population of all Small and Medium Enterprises in Lagos State, Nigeria, 101 valid responses were received from the survey conducted. Based on the analysis results, the study found that accounting and information technology alignment has a positively significant relationship with Cost Reduction and Effective Decision Making. However, accounting and information technology alignment is negatively related to Improve quality. The study then recommends that Small and Medium Enterprises should focus more on investing in the alignment of accounting and information technology to bring about optimum organisation's performance

Zrozumieć emocje — pozorna kontradykcja. Na marginesie książki Andrzeja Dąbrowskiego Źródła, natura i funkcje emocji
Authors: Tomczyk Justyna
Published: March 2021

Understanding emotions — an apparent contradiction. Comments on Andrzej Dąbrowski’s Origins, nature and functions of emotions: This paper offers some polemical comments on Andrzej Dąbrowski’s recently published book Origins, nature and functions of emotions. The background for reflection is Leon Petrażycki’s theory of emotions (Warszawa 2019). The author aims to evaluate Dąbrowski’s presentation of an influential Polish philosopher Leon Petrażycki (1867–1931), considered an important forerunner of the psychosocial theory of law or legal psychologism, who initiated a long‐lasting debate on the role and meaning of emotions.
Power and force: Rethinking Kojève, Arendt and Camus in the populist era
Authors: Kałuża Maciej
Published: March 2021

In the presented essay, I would like to focus on the relationship between force and power. The idea that power, without resorting to forceful, even violent solutions, is less problematic, is both deceitful and dangerous. Once accepted, it can cause an oversight of violence‐free but possibly harmful forms of power. My focus in the article will be on the two reinterpretations of Master‐Slave dialectics, as presented by Alexandre Kojève and Albert Camus. This will be presented with reference to the position of Hannah Arendt and her remarks on power and force. In conclusion, I will be abstemious: my goal is rather to diagnose and bind the existentialist judgement with the contemporary situation and suggest that thinking outside the force‐power relationship may be continuously fruitful and an important part of reflection on the nature of political power.
