Authors: Umaña Gerardina , Loría Carlos Luis , Gómez Juan Carlos
Published: October 2020

Se cosechó en Cariari (Guápiles), papaya Híbrido Pococí con 4 grados de maduración, con el objetivo de conocer cambios en las características físico-químicas que ocurren en la fruta bajo 2 condiciones de almacenamiento: 1) 22°C y 85% humedad relativa (temperatura ambiente) y 2) 14°C y 95% humedad relativa, durante 14 días, seguidos de 9 días a 22°C y 85% humedad relativa. Los valores de la tasa respiratoria al inicio del almacenamiento a temperatura ambiente fueron bajos (6,3-13,3 ml.kg-1.h-1 de CO2), con importante alza entre el día 3 y 5, sin encontrarse diferencias significativas entre tratamientos a partir del día 7. Los frutos cosechados con grado 3, alcanzaron al menos un 75% de amarillo en el día 7, mientras que frutos de grado 1, en el día 9. A partir del día 5, no se presentaron diferencias en firmeza de cáscara entre los grados 1, 2 y 3. Se registraron valores de firmeza en pulpa menores a 20 N (relacionados con madurez de consumo), en los días 7 (grado 2 y grado 3) y 9 (grado 1). Después de salir del almacenamiento a 14°C, la respiración de los grados 1, 2 y 3 fue estadísticamente igual, con aumento importante en el día 5 del almacenamiento a temperatura ambiente. Se observó un incremento rápido en el porcentaje de amarillo entre los días 3 y 7 hasta alcanzar, todos los grados, porcentajes superiores al 75% en el día 7. A la salida del almacenamiento en frío, se encontró una pérdida importante de firmeza de la cáscara hasta 83% y de la pulpa hasta 90%. Los grados brix al momento de cosecha estuvieron comprendidos entre 7,9 y 11,3, con poca variación durante el almacenamiento, situación parecida a lo que se presentó con la acidez titulable.

Authors: Sun Peng , Cui Yanhong , Yan Rui , Lian Yongfu
Published: October 2020

In this study, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) were used to determine organochlorine pesticides (chlorothalonil and pentachloronitrobenzene) in water using dispersive solid-phase extraction (DSPE), followed by gas chromatography (GC). The optimal adsorption conditions were determined by analyzing the effect of adsorbent dosage, adsorption time, eluent type and volume, and elution time. Under the optimal conditions, a good linearity was obtained at concentrations from 10 to 400 μg L−1 with correlation coefficients ranging from 0.9991 to 0.9986. The limits of detection (LOD) for the two organochlorine pesticides were 0.025 and 0.049 μg L−1, and the limits of quantification (LOQ) were 0.080 and 0.156 μg L−1, respectively. The accuracy of the proposed method was evaluated by measuring the recovery of the spiked samples, which ranged from 82.5% to 110.5% at spiking levels of 0.5–10 μg L−1 with relative standard deviations lower than 5.6% (n = 6). This method was successfully applied to determine the target analytes in canal water, drinking water, and water taken from the inlets and outlets of a wastewater treatment plant. The results demonstrate that the developed method has great potential for determining the two organochlorine pesticides in water samples.

Published: October 2020

Between 1984 and the early 1990s the remains of a man were recovered from the edge of the Upper Theodul Glacier. The man died around AD 1600 while crossing the Theodul Pass (3301 m.a.s.l.) near Zermatt, one of the most important trade routes in the Pennine Alps at the time. He was called the “mercenary from the Theodul Pass” because of the weapons found alongside him. In 2006 his remains and the associated artifacts were incorporated into the collection of the Valais History Museum and specialists from various disciplines examined the collection for several years. The examination results give an unexpected glimpse into the life of a well-to-do traveller in early postmedieval period revealing rare preserved objects from this time.

Published: October 2020

Osteonecrosis of the jaw is a possible oral complication resulting from antiresorptive therapies, such as bisphosphonates (Bfs). Although the etiology is not entirely clear, it has been shown to be dependent on several factors, with the traumatic stimulation caused by the placement of teeth implants indicated as one of the predisposing factors to this pathology. The indications and preventive methods for performing these procedures have been questioned, making it essential to determine the proper protocols. Thus, the present study aims to discuss the risks of the development of osteonecrosis in patients undergoing dental implant surgery who use Bfs as well as to discuss related local and systemic factors and possible methods for preventing this side effect. The study also aims to present a clinical case of an osteopenic patient who used Bfs and underwent rehabilitation through implants according to specific protocols, which resulted in successful treatment.
Everything Done with a Pure Intention is Perfect Love. Elements of Discernment of the Spirits in Santa Teresa de Jesús
Authors: De Rycke Filip
Published: October 2020

Saint Teresa of Ávila intrinsically connects discernment of the spirits with her principal theme of inner prayer. The main constituents of her doctrine of prayer (obedience, humility, charity, detachment) also represent key motifs in her view on discernment. From this perspective, Santa Teresa’s sparse assertions can be integrated into a coherent doctrine on discernment of the spirits, founded in her deep religious experience. Discernment emerges as the core of Christian life and the genuine way in which the Divine Friend gives light for choices that make human persons grow in virtues and in inner freedom.

Authors: Chernova Olga , Mitrofanova Inna
Published: October 2020

Significant macroeconomic and structural consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic have led to limited business activity in Russian regions. As a result, regional economies have experienced a crisis. In order to smooth the negative consequences of the pandemic, federal entities of the Russian Federation were given the right to conduct their own economic policy and determine independently the measures of business support. The purpose of this article is to study the content of the economic policy of agro-industrial regions of the South of Russia and to identify its priorities in the context of the spread of COVID-19. The research methodology is based on the theory of shocks. The authors hypothesis is that under the spread of COVID-19, the sustainability of regional economy is determined by a balance between aggregate demand and aggregate supply. The object of the study is agro-industrial regions of the South of Russia: Rostov, Volgograd regions and Krasnodar krai. As a result of the analysis, the characteristic of the sectoral structure of regions has been given, and the impact of quarantine measures on the main indicators of regional development has been analyzed. The measures taken by regional authorities to support business have been described. It is concluded that the support measures which are being implemented are mainly focused on the total supply by means of the reduction of administrative and financial burden on business. It is noted that for the support of regional economy, it is also necessary to support aggregate demand through the implementation of cooperative fiscal, money-and-credit and monetary measures.
Franchising Market in Russia and Volgograd Region: Current State and Directions of Development
Authors: Kudryashova Inna , Popova Lidiya
Published: October 2020

Widespread franchising in the world today is explained by the opportunity it offers: substantial reduction of costs for business ideas development and implementation. The present research is focused on the analysis of dynamics and composition of the franchise market in Russia and Volgograd region. The comparative analysis, historical and statistical methods are used. The comparative assessment of the dynamics and sectoral composition of the world and Russian franchising markets for the period 2014–2020 makes it possible to identify a prospective franchising in Russia and Volgograd region, i.e. businesses of healthy food. It is shown that currently such kind of franchising is difficult to put into practice due to the lack of high quality food produced in Russia and limited target market. It is demonstrated that a number of trends contribute to an increased use of franchising while the opening of healthy food restaurants in recent years: lower initial investments as compared to fast-food restaurants; production growth of food products in Russia; changes in lifestyle and increased demand for public catering; increased consumption of “good” food; mass sports and healthy lifestyle which have become popular both in Russia and Volgograd region. The comparison of positive and negative factors leads to the conclusion that it is prospective to use franchising while opening healthy food catering businesses in Russia and Volgograd region. The franchising can increase its share in GDP, contribute to the turnover growth of public catering companies and better public health.
Supporting Exports of Enterprises in Volgograd Region Under the Conditions of Limitations
Authors: Batmanova Victoria , Tikhonovich Ellada
Published: October 2020

The article analyses the structure of exports of Volgograd region and suggests measures for supporting exporters under the condition of the arisen limitations. Export is a difficult economic process which is also complicated by the limitations which have appeared recently (sanctions, COVID-19 pandemics). Volgograd region is an old industrial region with developed economy where large exporting enterprises are located. The export basis of the region is presented by three or four significant commodities: energy, metals, chemical production and some others but at the same time the leading foreign trade partners are the developed European countries. The measures of supporting exporters under the conditions of limitations can be presented by two types: urgent stabilizing measures aimed at preventing and minimizing consequences from the corona virus and systemic measures (provision of macroeconomic stability, sustainability of financial markets and payment systems, support of real sector of economy). While supporting the exports it is important to focus on various stages of the exporting activity. At the preliminary stage it is important to select ideas for perspective export projects. At the main production stage it is important to select specific export projects and search for funds for their implementation. At the final stage it is reasonable to accompany export produce by means of organizational measures. The support of exports should be carried out on the basis of mobilizing diversification. It does not change the existing economic specialization but leverages the available competitive advantages. The innovative diversification should become the strategic aim of developing the exporting activity in the region.
Quantification of self-healing in bacteria-based engineered cementitious composites
Authors: Bhaskar Sini , Anwar Hossain Khandaker M. , Lachemi Mohamed , Wolfaardt Gideon
Published: October 2020

Crack repair in concrete is crucial, since cracks are the main cause of decreased service life in concrete structures. An original and promising way to repair cracks is to pre-incorporate healing agents inside the concrete matrix to heal cracks the moment they appear. By incorporating bacteria and nutrients as a two-component healing agent, the process of bacterially mediated calcium carbonate deposition is triggered on crack formation, and self-healing of cracks can be expected. This paper investigates the recovery of mechanical properties due to self-healing behaviour of bacteria-based engineered cementitious composites (ECCs). In this research study, Sporosarcina pasteurii and Bacillus subtilis subsp. spizizenii were selected as two different bacterial strains, with zeolite as a protective carrier. Four-point bending and ultrasonic pulse velocity tests were performed on ECC specimens to evaluate their mechanical properties during damage and healing processes. Microstructural observations to quantify self-healing compounds were performed using X-ray diffraction analyses and scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The bacteria-incorporated ECC specimens were found to be promising in the healing of cracks (showing total healing of 80 μm wide cracks) and recovery of flexural strength and stiffness.

Libropueblo / Herriliburu: El proyecto editorial de Ramiro Pinilla y José Javier Rapha Bilbao (1977-1986)
Authors: Feijoo Morote Javier
Published: October 2020

Libropueblo/Herriliburu fue una editorial vizcaína fundada por Ramiro Pinilla y José Javier Rapha Bilbao que se desarrolló en los años de la transición española (1977-1986) y que supuso un intento revolucionario por remover los cimientos de la industria editorial. Ambos autores quisieron abanderar la fórmula «del escritor directamente al lector» y propiciar la incardinación de la figura del escritor en la dinámica de los movimientos políticos y sociales de España. El proyecto conllevó la ejecución de todos los pasos de la cadena de producción editorial, así como una política de libros a precio de costo que eliminaba el porcentaje de beneficio para el autor. La realidad cultural y artística de la transición española corre paralela a la génesis, evolución y decadencia final de la editorial, que permite explicar, asimismo, las particularidades de la carrera literaria de Ramiro Pinilla y su posterior evolución como narrador.

Differentiated Intervention Model for Internet Addiction in Adolescents
Authors: Malygin V.L. , Merkurieva Y.A.
Published: October 2020

The paper considers the issue of interventions for internet addiction in adolescents. We analyzed the main risk factors of internet addiction yielded from the empirical data and distinguished between two groups of internet-addicted adolescents with dominating biological or psychological risk factors. An intervention program for internet-addicted adolescents based on this data was developed and carried out. We compared the efficacy of the intervention and communicative skills training. The results prove the significance of primary neuropsychological diagnostics and the necessity of neuropsychological correction in interventions for internet-addicted adolescents. We propose a scheme for sorting the participants in correction groups according to different risk factors of internet addiction.
Hereditary determined diving behaviour in rats as a factor of fitness
Authors: Levina Anna S. , Bondarenko Nina A. , Shiryaeva Natalia V. , Vaido Alexander I. , Dyuzhikova Natalia A.
Published: October 2020

Background. Rats natural ability to swim and dive provides adaptation in the wildlife and is widely applied as an instrument in experimental physiology. Nevertheless theres little scientific evidence on diving behaviour in rats itself. Meanwhile this behavioural pattern might be a notable trait to shed light on functional features of the nervous system, the higher nervous activity structure and evolutional adaptability in animals, including inherited ones.
Materials and methods. In the present work we compared the performance of the spontaneous diving behaviour in the Morris water maze and forced diving behaviour in the Extrapolation escape task in two selected rat strains genetically differing in the nervous system excitability threshold.
Results. We found a greater extent and adaptive pattern of both types of the diving behaviour in the high-excitable LT strain. This may be due to such basic features of this strain as high exploratory activity and an increased level of fear reactions. It was also shown that the second, low-excitable HT rat strain, demonstrates maladaptive jumping behaviour in the Extrapolation escape task due to higher anxiety level in the stress conditions.
Conclusion. Observed differences between two strains allow us to consider the diving behaviour performed by high-excitable rats an inherited strain characteristic resembling adaptive rat behaviours in the wild and look forward to investigate its genetic mechanisms.
Influence of Localized Surface Plasmon Polaritons on Silver Nanoparticles
Authors: Mosiori Cliff Orori , Njoroge Walter Kamande , Ochoo Lawrence Otieno
Published: October 2020

In this article, we present a theoretical study on localized surface Plasmon of spherical Ag nanoparticles (NPs) done by numerical simulation. A plane EM wave was used to determine absorption cross-section and results showed that excitation of LSPPs produced an electric field on the surface of the nanoparticle. This field causes a large cross sectional area that influences higher scattering of incident photon at the surface of an absorber layer. It was concluded that LSPPs excitations in small size spherical particles can be utilized in low-cost solar cells to increase PCE of solar panels and can be expanded to many other fields of optoelectronic technologies ranging from solar cells, through photo diodes to optical bio-sensing applications.

Performance Evaluation of Single Slope Solar Still by Integrating with Solar Thermal Systems
Authors: Sivakumaran R. , Jdihesh P.
Published: October 2020

The world is facing the state of being scarce of fresh or drinking water and it is the major problem and global challenge. Along with air and food, water is a basic necessity for human. Solar energy is the biggest source of energy available on earth. A solar distillation is one of the methods for purifying salt water to drinking water. In this method fresh water is obtained by exposing a small layer of salt water to solar radiation and the water vaporized from the basin is condensed on the bottom side of a taper transparent cover. It can be collected in receiving troughs at the end of the still. For this research, a solar still has been designed, fabricated and tested under the climate condition of Coimbatore (11.01680 N, 76.9550 E), India from December 2016 to March 2017. The still basin area was 1m2 and the glass cover of still is inclined at 13 degree based on the city latitude. Solar still is integrated with thermal system such as solar photovoltaic system and then with solar pond in order to preheat the feed water thereby increasing the productivity considerably. Experiments were carried out on the still using different parameters and tested for performance. The results showed that the daily production of the conventional solar still was 2 Lit/m2/day and integrated with photovoltaic system and solar pond was 3.1 Lit/m2/day and 2.54 Lit/m2/day respectively.
The Value of Solar Photovoltaics in an Isolated Competitive Electricity Market: a Case Study of Singapore
Authors: Finenko Anton , Jindal Gautam , Owen Anthony D , Tao Jacqueline , Xiying Liu
Published: October 2020

With a view of achieving its obligations under the global climate change regime, and low technical potential for other renewable energy technologies, solar photovoltaics (PV) is the main focus for Singapore to generate low carbon electricity. However, a high penetration of PV in Singapore’s electricity market would result in a number of costs and benefits that need to be quantified in order to ensure prudent government policies for “supporting” the widespread adoption of PV in Singapore. The quantification of these costs and benefits would allow policymakers to realize the true “value” of solar PV for Singapore and would address the limitations of relying on the levelised cost of electricity metric. This paper provides an assessment of the societal value that PV would bring to Singapore, essentially an isolated power system with a liberalized electricity market. For the purpose of this study, the determination of the value of solar involves quantifying the savings due to the merit order effect, costs due to additional frequency control services, and net avoidance of CO2 emissions.

In this study, Myrmecodia platytyrae (MyP) water extract was investigated to explain the antioxidant property and its safety. Water extract of MyP was prepared and tested for ORAC for each batch of preparations. The MyP water extract was administered daily onto three groups of experimental animals which were Low Dose (LD), Medium Dose (MD) and High Dose (HD) groups for a period of consecutive 28 days according to the OECD GLP guideline (OECD TG 407). The ORAC results showed that MyP water extract has an antioxidant activity for each batch. The subchronic toxicity test showed that MyP water extract product has no observable sub-chronic toxic effect on Sprague Dawley rats. The body weight of rats increased along with proportional food and water intake. In the same way, all hematological, biochemical parameters as well as histopathological observation do not show any abnormal finding. Gross observations, feed and water consumption, urine strip test and animals’ weight during necropsy did not show any difference compared to the control group. In conclusion, MyP water extract is suggested to have a broad safety margin in experimental animals.

Authors: AYDIN Osman Musa , AKTAŞ Ramazan
Published: October 2020

Within the scope of this paper, traditional estimation algorithms and supervised machine learning methods are used to estimate the manipulation of financial information. Traditional estimation algorithms, such as logit, and supervised machine learning methods, which are support vector machine (SVM), probabilistic neural network (PNN), k-nearest neighbor (KNN) and decision tree (DT) algorithms, are utilized. According to previous studies, support vector machine and probabilistic neural network algorithms perform higher than traditional estimation algorithms. Comparative analysis is made to decide better algorithm for classification by applying all algorithms separately to the data that is collected by skimming weekly bulletins of Capital Market Board of Turkey between 2009 and 2018. Thus, it is determined which algorithms perform better in financial information manipulation by looking at performance of classification accuracy, sensitivity and specificity statistics. The obtained results show that KNN and SVM have better performance than the other algorithms and all utilized algorithms have high performance compared to the previous literature’s results.
A cross-sectional study to find the prevalence of hyperprolactinemia in infertile euthyroid patients in a hospital
Authors: Badesara Sanjay , Jakhar Kiran
Published: October 2020

Background: Infertility whether primary or secondary, has multi-factorial causation, out of which hormonal imbalance is one of the important factors. Current study evaluates the prevalence of hyperprolactinemia in infertile euthyroid women.Methods: After Ethics Committee approval and written informed consent, all infertile euthyroid women (n=153) with age group 20-40 years attending outpatient department of general hospital, with marriage duration of at least one year and willing to participate in study were recruited. Male factor infertility, women with diagnosed hyperprolactinemia, thyroid abnormality, tubal factors, any congenital anomaly of urogenital tract or obvious organic lesion or with history of anxiety or other psychological disorders and on treatment for same were excluded. Detailed obstetrics history with relevant laboratory, radiological investigations including serum prolactin level was done.Results: Mean serum prolactin level was 13.89±10.03 ng/ml. Out of 153 participants, 13 had hyperprolactinemia which comprised 8.50% of the sample. The mean of the level of serum prolactin level in primary infertility cases was 13.18±8.485 ng/ml while that in secondary infertility was 17.21±15.1 ng/ml. Primary infertility was approximately half (53.85%) in hyperprolactinemia group and majority (85%) in normoprolactinemia group. Duration of married life, infertility and fasting blood sugar were positively correlated with prolactin levels.Conclusions: Prevalence of hyperprolactinemia was 8.50% with higher serum prolactin level in secondary infertility as compared to primary infertility. So, estimation of serum prolactin levels in infertile patients with euthyroid status can help to a large extent in finding the cause of infertility and may help in further management.

Published: October 2020

Background: Phimosis is the inability to completely retract the prepuce, a common cause of anxiety to parents of young boys. It is usually physiological and gradually improves with age. Phimosis is considered a problem when there is fibrotic foreskin and its adherence to the glans making it impossible to expose the glans.Methods: Study was conducted on 82 patients that presented to the surgical Outpatient Department (OPD) at Smt. SCL Hospital, NHL Medical College, Ahmedabad for a period of 2 years between September 2011 to September 2013. Case selection was done by detailed history, clinical examination and followed up regularly at 1 week, 2 week and 1 month in necessary individuals. The treatment consisted of applying a topical steroid (betamethasone 0.05% cream) three times a day.Results: 85% of patients had physiologic phimosis and along with Frenulum Breve the count rose to 91%. Only 9% presented with pathological or acquired phimosis. 51 out of 53 patients who completed the course (96%) achieved success with conservative line of treatment. Only 2 failures were seen (4%). 72.5% of patients responded successfully within 2 weeks of treatment. 27.5% of patients took 1 month of therapy to be successful.Conclusions: The study has shown that a majority (96%) of boys with phimosis can be successfully treated conservatively. Hence, topical steroids might be used as a first-line therapy for phimosis, as a feasible pre-surgery alternative. Surgical interventions should be reserved for recalcitrant phimosis that do not respond to medical administration.
Group Conflicts in Light of the Cratism Theory (Psycholinguistic Analysis)
Authors: Citlak Amadeusz
Published: October 2020

This article presents an analysis of intergroup relations in light of Władysław Witwicki’s cratism theory. His theory allows social relations to be explained in light of the pursuit for a sense of power, although this has never been verified in the psychological laboratory. Because the cratism theory is largely based on the analysis of social relations described in historical documents, this paper presents an attempt to use its basic assumptions to describe the linguistic behavior (and linguistic picture of the world) of a threatened group. The examined material consisted of religious documents of the first Christians, created before and during the growing conflict with an unfriendly/ antagonistic environment. Frequency analysis shows significant changes in the cratic orientation as well as emotions and the evaluation of the social world in conflict conditions.
Patuá, hespanhol e guarany: da fronteira da língua ao limiar do discurso
Authors: Lemos Marilene Aparecida , Ragievicz Matheus França
Published: October 2020

No presente trabalho, buscamos compreender a produção do imaginário de língua em condições de produção de fronteira. Ancorando nossa reflexão na Análise de Discurso (AD), de linha francesa, materialista e pecheuxtiana, analisamos descrições de um viajante que esteve presente na região de Foz do Iguaçu, em 1903. Importou-nos compreender o modo como a ‘língua de fronteira’ é imaginariamente instituída no discurso do viajante. A relação entre espaço, sujeito e discurso foi determinante no funcionamento de tal imaginário, já que se constitui na medida em que se inscreve nas relações de poder dos Aparelhos de Estados (AEs).
Aspectos da reanálise sintático-semântica de 'sem que' na história do português
Authors: Longhin Sanderléia Roberta
Published: October 2020

O objetivo deste trabalho é investigar, no quadro teórico da gramaticalização (TRAUGOTT; DASHER, 2002; HEINE; KUTEVA, 2007; BYBEE, 2010, 2015) aspectos da constituição histórica da perífrase conjuncional ‘sem que’. A pesquisa é norteada pelas seguintes questões: 1) que propriedades da preposição sem autorizam a regência da proposição em ‘que’ e a posterior reinterpretação como perífrase conjuncional? 2) considerando que a preposição sem mostra um esquema cognitivo espacial particular, em termos de ‘concomitância negativa’, e considerando que ‘sem que’ expressa, dentre outros significados, aquele de concessão, como justificar o trânsito entre os significados fonte e alvo? A investigação é conduzida em perspectiva diacrônica, fundada em um ‘corpus’ de textos representativos de diferentes estados do português. Os resultados evidenciam que propriedades sintático-semânticas de ‘sem’ tiveram relevância para a reanálise de ‘sem que’ e que coexistiram expansões contextuais do núcleo semântico de ‘concomitância negativa’ em direção aos domínios de modo, condição e concessão.
Revista Expressão, da UFPI: o processo de institucionalização da linguística no Piauí
Authors: Anjos Marcelo Alessandro Limeira dos , Torres Maria de Jesus Medeiros , Silva Raimunda da Conceição
Published: October 2020

Este artigo apresenta uma historicização da institucionalização e desenvolvimento da Linguística no Piauí a partir da análise de algumas pesquisas e depoimentos de professores da Universidade Federal do Piauí (UFPI). A análise dos dados baseou-se no princípio da Contextualização (KOERNER, 2014), nos Programas de Investigação (SWIGGERS, 2004), e na ideia de orientação de pesquisa (ALTMAN, 2016). As análises mostram que a revista Expressão exerceu importante papel para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa linguística no Piauí, e a existência de um ecletismo teórico.
Configuração genológica: uma abordagem do texto/discurso literário
Authors: Menezes Hugo Lenes
Published: October 2020

Uma das mais fecundas relações dentro das Letras e da Linguística é a da pessoa humana com a linguagem, que tem a única dimensão de existência no texto/discurso e seus gêneros, uma vez que é por essa via que nos manifestamos diante dos outros e do mundo, sobretudo em nível de linguagem verbal, matéria-prima do ludismo do texto/discurso literário, cuja configuração genológica abordamos no presente artigo, em particular numa de suas formas, nomeadamente o romance-folhetim. Além de teóricos da questão da linguagem e do texto, aplicada à literatura, como o filólogo Aurélio Buarque de Holanda, o semiólogo Roland Barthes, o pensador Lev Vygotsky, o psicólogo Karl Bühler, outros estudiosos, como os linguistas Eni Orlandi, Luiz Antônio Marcuschi, Ingedore Villaça Koch e Marcos Bagno; os críticos estético-verbais Georg Friedrich Hegel, Antonio Candido, Alfredo Bosi, Marisa Lajolo, Adilson Citelli, Leyla Perrone-Moisés, Eduardo Prado Coelho, Marlyse Mayer e Massaud Moisés subsidiam nosso artigo.
Conhecimentos necessários para saber ler os acentos gráficos no português
Authors: Scliar-Cabral Leonor
Published: October 2020

No artigo, esclareço o proveito que o educador poderá obter da transparência do sistema do português escrito para uma alfabetização excelente para a leitura, ilustrando tal transparência com a aplicação do princípio da economia e do valor do zero linguístico, para a atribuição do acento de intensidade às palavras mais frequentes do português escrito, isentando-as do acento gráfico. Sendo assim, todas as palavras com mais de duas sílabas que terminam pelas letras ‘a’, ‘e’, ‘o’, seguidas ou não de ‘s’ e por ‘em’, ‘ens’, ‘am’, sem nenhum acento gráfico (as mais frequentes do português escrito), são lidas como paroxítonas. Demonstro, igualmente, como o sistema do português escrito permite a identificação dos clíticos que terminam pelas letras ‘a’, ‘e’, ‘o’, seguidas ou não de ‘s’, em contraste com a impossibilidade de sua delimitação na cadeia da fala.
Панельное исследование социального портрета молодого лидера регионального профсоюзного движения
Authors: Шмарион Юрий Васильевич , Насонова Марина Александровна
Published: October 2020

Современный молодежный актив региональных профсоюзов приобретает черты нового социального феномена, заслуживающего создание его социального портрета, который станет эмпирической базой, обеспечивающей разработку эффективной системы отбора потенциальных лидеров, их последующего обучения и переподготовки. В связи с отсутствием научных и социально-технологических разработок, посвященных формированию современныхмолодых лидеров регионального профсоюзного движения, авторами произведена оценка изменения типических характеристик социального портрета молодых лидеров регионального профсоюзного движения, работающих в сложных условиях модели российского трипартизма. Определены особенности изменения характеристик социального портрета молодого лидера при переходе от хронотопа информационной направленности к хронотопу реальных условий повседневной деятельности. Полученные результаты позволяют на научной основе решать вопросы подбора и расстановки профсоюзных кадров, рационально определять структуру и содержание курсовой подготовки профсоюзного актива.
Событийность человека в городском пространстве: между модернизацией и экзистенциальной памятью
Authors: Ромащенко Александр Александрович
Published: October 2020

Опираясь на герменевтическую и феноменологическую методологию М. Хайдеггера, автор статьи проводит сравнительный анализ двух типов понимания человеческого сообщества в рамках урбанизированного пространства: с одной стороны, человек, включенный в городское сообщество, находится в условии необходимости принятия перманентных процессов модернизации пространства города; с другой – данные процессы вместе с обновлением условий существования человека, с привнесением в них комфорта и чистоты способствуют утрате объектов индивидуальной памяти. Феноменологическая методология анализа данной проблемы дает возможность увидеть за модернизированным пространством города утрату человеческой идентичности, целостности, и формирование человека как элемента потребительских отношений (и как субъекта, и как объекта потребления). Экзистенциально-феноменологическое понимание человека, включенного в контекст урбанистического пространства, расширяет рамки субъект-объектного подхода и позволяет распознать за субъективностью новые экзистенциальные формы (Dasein как присутствие), которые связаны как с проблемой временности существования человека, так и пространственной событийностью. Событийность человеческого присутствия в городе понимается автором статьи многогранно: событийность с Другим (совместное существование человека в сообществе), событийность как мыслительный акт субъективации, основанный на принятии факта временности, а также событийность в качестве пространственной наполненности города объектами индивидуальной экзистенциальной памяти. В последнем случае к таким объектам автор вслед за Г. Зиммелем относит руины.
О пандемии коронавируса в контексте философии экологического права
Authors: Анисимов Алексей Павлович
Published: October 2020

Появление коронавирусной инфекции можно считать случайностью, никак не обусловленной предыдущей деятельностью человека. Однако, учитывая почти 200-летний бурный рост промышленности и увеличение загрязнения окружающей среды, можно предложить гипотезу, объясняющую происходящие события. Планета Земля – это не мертвое тело, а особая форма жизни, на которую загрязнение водоемов и воздуха, вырубка лесов и иные видычеловеческой деятельности воздействуют отрицательно, что порождает ответную реакцию. Появление коронавирусной инфекции в Китае – самом загрязненной регионе планеты, говорит о многом. Сегодня доказано существование экологических болезней, обусловленных загрязнением окружающей среды. Убедительных доказательств негативного воздействия загрязненной окружающей среды на здоровье объектов животного мира (от которых в Китае коронавирусом заразился человек) пока еще недостаточно, однако имеющиеся исследования подтверждают оправданность такой гипотезы. Для предотвращения новых пандемий человечество должноперейти от потребительской (антропоцентричной) концепции восприятия Природы к экоцентричной модели, предполагающей снижение воздействия на окружающую среду и отказ от безудержного роста потребления.
Сравнительно-правовой анализ нормативных актов, регламентирующих производство судебной экспертизы и процессуальный статус сведущих лиц в уголовном процессе России и Германии
Authors: Лукичев Борис Аркадьеви , Алексеев Сергей Геннадьевич
Published: October 2020

Современный тип немецкого уголовного процесса является наиболее ярким представителем романо-германской правовой системы и поэтому служит объектом сравнения с уголовным судопроизводством других стран. Вместе с тем вопросы применения сведущими лицами специальных знаний в уголовном процессе России и Германии изучены недостаточно. В связи с этим авторы провели сравнительно-правовой анализ норм уголовно-процессуального законодательства России и Германии, регламентирующих производство судебной экспертизы. В результате выявлены общие и отличительные свойства, степень сходства и различия юридических терминов, используемых в отношении указанных лиц в нормативно-правовых актах сопоставляемых правовых систем. Ключевой фигурой в уголовном процессе Германии является суд, который несет бремя доказывания, совмещая функции обвинения и разрешения дела по существу. Сведущие лица в качестве самостоятельных участников уголовного судопроизводства не рассматриваются, поскольку являются «средствами судебного доказывания». Результаты исследования позволяют по-новому взглянуть на отечественный институт сведущих лиц, а также расширить представление о применении специальных знаний в уголовном процессе Федеративной Республики Германия и государств, следующих в «кильватере» немецкого Strafprozess.
Изменение понятия личности в русском общественном сознании началаXX в. (на материале романа Ю. Олеши «Зависть»)
Authors: Воевода Дарья Викторовна
Published: October 2020

Октябрьская революция в России привела к коренной ломке прежних общественных установлений: история стремительно движется вперед, происходят необратимые социальные и политические изменения, в этих условиях меняется и сам человек. Интеллигент оказывается оторванным от полноценной жизни, он боится мыслить и творить по порыву души, а всю поддержку и лавры получает деятельная личность, уподобляемая машине. Но все же человек остается человеком, а каждый индивид в любой период истории играет особую, никем не заменимую роль. ЮрийОлеша раскрывает свое понимание личности на примере героев неоднозначного романа начала XX в. «Зависть».
