Jardiner (ou apprendre à jardiner) et s’approprier des gestes durables
Authors: BOUTERRAA Amel
Published: December 2024

Si les premiers jardins partagés étaient le « fruit d’une collaboration entre riverains, associatifs et élus locaux » (Demailly, 2014), ces « petites réserves de biodiversité » (Den Hartigh, 2013) sont aujourd’hui des espaces ancrés dans la ville, voire institutionnalisés. Comme dans tout projet, les jardins partagés sont définis par des objectifs inscrits dans la communication. L’activité s’accompagne d’un discours qui revendique les bienfaits environnementaux, urbains et sociaux de ces jardins collectifs. Considérés comme des espaces de nature en ville, ces terrains redonneraient une fonction à « délaissés urbains » et contribueraient au vivre ensemble dans une société marquée par la crise du lien social.
Objets de travaux visant notamment à vérifier ces bienfaits, les jardins partagés franciliens se caractérisent entre autres par la ressemblance et de repli des membres : « Les jardins apparaissent comme des espaces d’entre-soi, ces liens relient des acteurs ressemblant mais ne sont pas dénués de fonction sociale. » (Mestdagh, 2018, p.209). Or ces collectifs associatifs ne sont pas seulement des regroupements homogènes et d’entre-soi, ils représentent aussi des terrains conviviaux sur lesquels les participants développent des relations sociales et des pratiques responsables.
A partir d’une enquête réalisée auprès des jardins partagés du nord-est parisien, le présent article tendra à montrer qu’ils sont dotés de fonctions sociales. Une première fonction récréative qui montre que les associations organisent des événements publics. Une fonction urbaine qui se caractérise par la réappropriation de l’espace public. Une fonction relative au travail de la terre car les participants manifestent une appétence pour le jardinage. Enfin, une fonction proche de l’écocitoyenneté découlant de l’apprentissage du jardinage et des gestes durables qui y sont liés.
En effet, les membres de ces collectifs apprennent à jardiner collectivement ; ils échangent des savoir-faire et partagent des connaissances sur fond de culture biologique. Ils ne jardinent pas pour produire en quantité mais pour le geste. Cette pratique qui porte les caractères du loisir ne s’improvise pas et nécessite des connaissances de départ. Elle génère des apprentissages qui s’inscrivent dans la vie quotidienne et se caractérisent par leur utilité : « dont on se sert dans la vie de tous les jours. » (Schugurensky, 2007).
A travers cette enquête qui révèle que les participants apprennent à jardiner et à mettre en œuvre des gestes durables, il s’agira d’envisager ces jardins collectifs comme l’illustration d’une initiative concrète d’expérimentation de la transition écologique par les habitants.

Published: December 2024

Le projet Darwin à Bordeaux constitue un exemple singulier de la transition écologique en cours dans le cadre de projets d'aménagement urbain. Ancienne caserne militaire réhabilitée puis reconvertie site accueillant une forte mixité d'usages et une intensité d'activités, l'Écosystème Darwin incarne une vision alternative du développement urbain, plaçant l'écologie et la convivialité au cœur de sa démarche. Cet article présente les différentes dimensions de ce projet, en mettant en lumière ses liens et ses oppositions avec la politique de transition menée par les acteurs publics de la métropole de Bordeaux, notamment au regard du projet d'aménagement de la ZAC Bastide-Niel, écoquartier conçu selon les schémas classiques de la promotion immobilière et de la programmation urbaine.
Transition écologique et sécurité
Authors: DURAND Franck
Published: December 2024

Les atteintes à l'environnement constituant indubitablement des atteintes aux personnes, il paraît légitime que les forces en charge de la sécurité de celles-ci soient mobilisées en faveur de la sécurité environnementale. S'agissant de la sécurité extérieure, les forces armées ont intégré des préoccupations environnementales, tant sur le plan stratégique que sur le plan de la préservation des espaces et des espèces, en regard des activités de défense. Sur le plan de la sécurité intérieure, la préoccupation environnementale s'est traduite par l'instauration, en complément des actions incitatives et afin de garantir le succès de celles-ci, d'un volet répressif basé sur la sanction judiciaire des infractions environnementales et sur la mise en place de mesures innovantes dans le domaine fiscal.
Etude mixte qualitative et quantitative sur la maîtrise des compétences d’ingénierie pour la soutenabilité chez des étudiants-ingénieurs
Authors: GRIMAL Lou , DI LORETO Inès , TROUSSIER Nadège
Published: December 2024

Cet article vise à expliciter les liens entre les compétences d’ingénierie pour la soutenabilité et les possibles manques dans les formations des ingénieurs. Ce travail se base sur une analyse théorique de la littérature scientifique et un travail d’enquête de quatre mois auprès d’étudiants ingénieurs de fin de cursus en master ingénierie du développement durable. Dans une approche constructiviste, une démarche empirico-inductive a été réalisée, permettant de confronter les faits issus de l’enquête de terrain aux cadres théoriques de la littérature scientifique. L’enquête de terrain, associant questionnaires et entretiens de groupes, a permis de montrer que des étudiants, au cours de leurs projets, ont eu des difficultés à mettre en œuvre leur « compétence normative », c’est-à-dire leur « capacité à réfléchir aux normes, valeurs qui fondent les actions des personnes, à négocier les valeurs, principes, objectifs et buts de la soutenabilité dans un contexte de conflit d'intérêt, de concessions et de contradictions » (Quelhas, 2019). Grâce à une analyse qualitative, il a été possible de mieux comprendre les liens entre les compétences d’ingénierie pour la soutenabilité et de définir la compétence normative comme une compétence pivot pouvant bloquer la participation des ingénieurs à l’action pour la soutenabilité. Cela a permis de structurer les compétences en 3 sections : planification, négociation, implémentation ; et de comparer les résultats avec la bibliographie existante sur le sujet, notamment des cadres de référence reliant les compétences pour la soutenabilité entre elles (Redman and Wiek, 2021). Cette étude s’inscrit dans un corpus de travail permettant d’accompagner la communauté académique dans la mise en œuvre de formations d’ingénieurs pour la soutenabilité de bout en bout.

Authors: PATIPE Stève Clauvis
Published: December 2024

L’intérêt de cette recherche est de rendre intelligible la conduite socioéconomique des acteurs informels face aux déchets plastiques dans la ville de Douala. L’objectif majeur est de rendre compte des actions de ces acteurs informels, de manière à ressortir l’impact socioéconomique qui en découle. La problématique se résume dans l’interrogation suivante : comment ces acteurs informels parviennent-ils à s’organiser au point d’influer sur le développement durable alors qu’ils sont éparpillés dans les réseaux créés spontanément et obéissant néanmoins a une dynamique identitaire de métier en formation ? le cadre théorique est double, il est articulé autour de l’ethnométhodologie et de la théorie du lien marchand. La logique est inductive et par conséquent, La méthode utilisée est essentiellement qualitative. L’échantillon est composé de 30 acteurs informels des déchets plastiques à Douala. Les résultats montrent que : a) les acteurs informels des déchets plastiques à Douala s’organisent autour des réseaux d’acteurs informels interdépendants et sont porteurs des identités de métiers ; b)- les acteurs informels des déchets plastiques participent à la revalorisation desdits déchets plastiques dans la ville de Douala; c)- les acteurs informels des déchets plastiques participent à la réduction des dépenses dans le circuit économique de certains ménages et à la sauvegarde de l’espace urbain.
Les investissements industriels des PME de l’agroalimentaire en faveur de la transition écologique. Etude à partir du dispositif France Relance
Authors: PETIOT Ophélie
Published: December 2024

Les entreprises agroalimentaires en France sont en grande majorité des petites et moyennes entreprises qui produisent des aliments diversifiés. L’ensemble de ces productions multiplie les modalités d’appropriation de la transition écologique. Si certaines vont se tourner vers les économies de ressources, d’autres privilégient par exemple le recyclage. Les modes d’appropriation de la transition ne sont ainsi pas homogènes sur l’ensemble du secteur. Les financements France Relance, bien qu’ayant au départ une visée conjoncturelle, avaient également pour objectif une visée plus structurelle de transformation de certains secteurs d’activités, en particulier la transition écologique. Des filières, comme celle du végétal se retrouvent nettement valorisées et d’autres paraissent plus en retrait. Les entreprises bénéficiant d’un ancrage territorial plus important et dont la productivité est plus forte semblent davantage bénéficier des financements pour leur transformation. Certains chefs d’entreprises s’estiment ainsi en retrait vis-à-vis de ce processus.

Published: December 2024

Cet ouvrage met en lumière le travail des soignants hors hôpital durant la pandémie de COVID-19, une période inédite marquée par des vulnérabilités croisées entre soignants et patients. En introduisant de nouvelles incertitudes, la pandémie a bouleversé les relations soignants-soignés, révélant des interactions souvent invisibles. Le soin apparaît comme le fruit d’interdépendances dans un écosystème complexe de pratiques pluriprofessionnelles. L’analyse explore comment ces relations se déploient dans des lieux, durées et modalités variés. Sur quels supports - relations, dispositifs, institutions - les professionnels ont-ils pu s’appuyer pour poursuivre leur activité ? À travers les pratiques de Nathalie, médecin généraliste, Damien, aide-soignant, Gabrielle, directrice des soins en SSR, et Françoise, cadre en EHPAD, ce livre plonge dans le monde extrahospitalier des soignants.

In this work, we investigated the possibility of synthesizing highly transparent ceramics based on ytterbium activated yttrium oxide (Yb:Y2O3) under the conditions of introducing an additional stage of calcined nanopowder sedimentation into the fabrication process. The nanopowder selected for the study was produced by laser ablation of the Yb:Y2O3 target followed by vapor condensation in the carrier gas stream. The obtained nanoparticles had a monoclinic modification. Their transformation to the cubic phase, carried out at a temperature of 900 °C for 3 hours, was accompanied by a decrease in the specific surface area from 48 to 25 m2/g. The sedimentation conditions were chosen in such a way that, as a result of its implementation, particles with sizes greater than Ø300 nm were mainly extracted from the nanopowder, and the decanted suspension after drying was suitable for further use. The synthesis of ceramics from such powders made it possible to obtain ceramic samples of Yb:Y2O3 with an average crystallite size of 8 μm, a microhardness of 7-14 GPa, a porosity of 1.6 ppm, and transmittance of 82% at a wavelength of λ = 1070 nm, which coincides with the theoretical transparency.

The optical properties of new three-cation crystals family RE x Nd y Sc z (BO3)4 (RE:NSB), where RE are Sm - Lu lanthanides and x + y + z = 4, have been studied. The influence of the cation RE on the absorption and luminescence spectra of crystals was determined. The effective nonlinearity coefficient of crystals for second harmonic generation (SHG) of Nd:YAG laser radiation (1064 nm, 7 ns) was estimated using the Kurtz-Perry powder method. It is established that for the RE:NSB series, the highest luminescence intensity and SHG efficiency is demonstrated by the Gd:NSB crystal. It may be promising as active medium of self-frequency doubling solid-state lasers.

An electrophysical model of the otolith organs of the vestibular apparatus of a laboratory animal (rat) has been developed using an equivalent electrical circuit. The electrophysical model is presented as a set of conducting and dielectric regions based on the anatomical structure determined from MRI/CT images. The equivalent electrical circuit for the replacement of the otolith organs of the vestibular apparatus of the laboratory animal is based on the measured specific electrical characteristics of the tissues of the otolith structures taking into account the changing ionic conductivity of the hair cells. To determine the spectral sensitivity of otolith organs, the electrical impedance of the cellular elements of the utricle and saccule and the phase shift of the flowing current with respect to an external electrical stimulus were calculated based on the geometric data and electrophysical parameters of the otolith organs of the laboratory animal (rat) in the frequency range 0-5000 Hz. It has been shown that the response of hair cells of the otolith membranes to an external electrical stimulus is oscillatory.
FEATURES OF PRODUCTION OF POWDER POROUS-MONOLITHIC MATERIAL BASED ON TINI USING REACTION-DIFFUSION SINTERING AND ELECTRON BEAM TREATMENT
Authors:   Tomsk State University, ANIKEEV S.G.
Published: December 2024

The structural features and physical and mechanical properties of a porous-monolithic material based on titanium nickelide, obtained by a combination of reaction-diffusion sintering and electron beam processing, have been studied. The conditions for preparing the monolithic and powder parts to obtain a high-quality boundary in the area of their connection are described. Using optical and scanning electron microscopy, the parameters of the pore space were characterized and the phase composition was established. It has been shown that electron beam processing of the chemically purified monolithic TiNi material is necessary at an energy density of 3.5 J/cm2 and 15 pulses. The use of a porous part with an exothermic additive ratio of [1:1] makes it possible to reduce the sintering temperature by 150°C while maintaining martensitic transformations and a regular porous structure. The use of these temperature regimes of sintering and electron beam processing makes it possible to obtain a porous-monolithic material with high deformation-strength characteristics and high-quality boundary between the porous and monolithic parts free from particles of secondary phases.

ACOUSTIC CHARACTERISTICS OF CHINESE FIRST-LEVEL VOWELS PRODUCTION BY KAZAKH LEARNERS
Authors: Zhao Zhongxing , Hassan Ali Mahfoodh  Omer , Phaik Ean Boh
Published: December 2024

Kazakhstan, a Central Asian country, boasts a rich and diverse linguistic landscape, with Kazakh as its official language. The objective of this study was to analyze the acoustic characteristics of seven Chinese first-level vowels produced by Kazakh learners. Fourteen Kazakh learners of Mandarin Chinese were recruited, and the acoustic data obtained from these participants were meticulously compared. Each participant was recorded while producing the seven Chinese vowels, with each utterance being repeated nine times to ensure consistency and reliability. This rigorous approach aimed to minimize variability and ensure the accuracy of the findings. The acoustic data were then analyzed using Mini-Speech Lab software, focusing on extracting the formant frequencies (F1 and F2) of the seven vowels. The analysis revealed that Kazakh learners encountered significant challenges in producing apical vowels, while they exhibited no difficulty in articulating high vowels. The linguistic background of Kazakhstan, where both Kazakh and Russian phonetic systems differ significantly from Mandarin, might contribute to the specific challenges faced by Kazakh learners in mastering Mandarin vowels. The study offers important implications for the development of effective instructional strategies aimed at improving vowel production in Kazakh learners of Chinese, thereby enhancing their overall language acquisition process.

Published: December 2024

In 2021, Malaysia experienced a significant flood, known as 'the worst flood of the century'. In 2019, a severe haze led to the closure of over 2000 schools. Over half of the surveyed individuals rated their disaster preparedness knowledge as poor or fair. While the government has taken steps to manage disasters, there is still a lack of preparedness at the community level. This research aims to assess the target users' current disaster preparedness knowledge and behaviours. To address this, we develop a user-centred mobile application that combines education and entertainment elements to enhance disaster preparedness and resilience. DisasterPrep introduces a three-dimensional (3D) virtual environment using a metaverse concept, incorporating gamification and user engagement to simulate calamities in Malaysia. The expected outcome of this research is to promote an innovative mobile edutainment application that enhances disaster preparedness and response education. It features interactive modules, gamified challenges, and real-time alerts, supported by a user-friendly interface with quizzes, simulations, and localized risk assessments. Users can explore four main menus—training, flood, earthquake, and disaster outbreak—offering realistic preparation, response, and recovery scenarios. The app includes voiceover options in English and Malay, with e-certificates awarded upon level completion. Usability testing showed improved knowledge, positive behavioural changes, and community resilience. All seven test cases were successfully passed. By leveraging immersive simulations and interactive experiences, DisasterPrep cultivates critical skills, increases engagement, and improves accessibility. Additionally, it supports sustainability through reduced paper use, cost savings, and energy efficiency, ensuring broad accessibility while promoting disaster resilience.
Simulating Complex Urban Behaviours With AI: Incorporating Improved Intelligent Agents in Urban Simulation Models
Authors: Solomou Solon , Sengupta Ulysses
Published: December 2024

Artificial intelligence is a transformational development across multiple research areas within urban planning. Urban simulation models have been an important part of urban planning for decades. Current advances in artificial intelligence have changed the scope of these models by enabling the incorporation of more complex agent behaviours in models aimed at understanding dweller behaviour within alternative future scenarios. The research presented in this article is situated in location choice modelling. It compares outcomes of two multi-agent systems, testing intelligent computer agent decision-making with selected behavioural patterns associated with human decision-making, given the same choices and scenarios. The majority of agent-based urban simulation models in use base the decision-making of agents on logic-based agent architecture and utility maximisation theory. This article explores the use of cognitive agent architecture as an alternative approach to endow agents with memory representation and experiential learning, thus enhancing their intelligence. The study evaluates the model’s suitability, strengths, and weaknesses, by comparing it against the results of a control model featuring commonly used logic-based architecture. The findings showcase the improved ability of cognitive-based intelligent agents to display dynamic market behaviours. The conclusion discusses the potential of utilising cognitive agent architectures and the ability of these models to investigate complex urban patterns incorporating unpredictability, uncertainty, non-linearity, adaptability, evolution, and emergence. The experiment demonstrates the possibility of modelling with more intelligent agents for future city planning and policy.
DECLINE IN XENOPHOBIA TOWARDS ROMA IN UKRAINE: AN ANALYSIS OF RECENT PUBLIC OPINION TRENDS

This study examines recent trends in attitudes towards the Roma in Ukraine, measured through the social distance score on the Emory Bogardus scale. Historically, the Roma community has faced considerable xenophobia in Ukraine, consistently ranking among the lowest in social acceptance. For decades, the social distance score for Roma has remained around 6.00 on a 7-point scale. However, from 2021 to 2023, data from Ukrainian sociological institutes indicate a gradual decrease in this score to 4.75. Our sociological research corroborated this positive trend, though with an important caveat: The improvement in attitudes towards Roma may not be as substantial as it appears. Some result distortion likely arose due to changes in research methodology. During the war, Ukrainian sociologists shifted from face-to-face interviews to telephone surveys. Additionally, terminology has evolved: Rather than using the previously common ethnonym “Tsyhany”, sociologists now refer to “Roma”, a term that carries more positive connotations for respondents. Nevertheless, an improvement in attitudes towards Roma has indeed been observed. The study attributes much of this progress to Ukrainian media, which has portrayed Roma contributions to the Russian-Ukrainian war positively.
THE SOFT CITY CONCEPT AND POSSIBILITIES FOR ITS APPLICATION IN UKRAINE
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, BORSHCH Pavlo , GNATIUK Oleksiy ,   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine
Published: December 2024

The article examines the main ideas of the concept of a soft city set out in the homonymous book by David Sim. In its content, this concept represents a type of so-called “new urbanism” about how to build and make cities comfortable and resilient to challenges, fostering human-centeredness in urban planning. A “soft” city adapts to natural conditions and the needs of residents, stimulates people to various activities in urban space, and provides for a variety of uses for a specific area or facility. The concept of a soft city is not a panacea for all the challenges of urban development on a Ukrainian or global scale. However, it is a set of effective and partly simple and not-too-expensive solutions that can be used to improve the quality of the urban environment of Ukrainian cities in various contexts, overcoming both the negative consequences of the modernist approach to urban planning of the socialist era and the neoliberal urban development of the modern era. The principles formulated in the concept deserve the attention of specialists in the field of urbanism, urban planning, architecture and construction. In Ukraine, the concept of a soft city can be used both for planning new urban areas “from scratch” and for the reconstruction and renovation of various types of existing development. In particular, these are the historical centers of large cities, areas of mass housing development of the socialist era, as well as areas of manorial development within the city, which are often interpreted as “inner city suburbia”. The article contains an overview of the possible application of the principles and tools of the concept of a “soft city” on the example of three areas of Kyiv that differ in development and the current problems: part of the historical center (Podil), a modernist residential area (Troieshchyna), and an area of low-rise detached houses (Osokorky) in the context of their current development problems and the possibility of applying the tools of the soft city concept to their solution.
HUMAN-GEOGRAPHICAL RESEARCH PERSPECTIVES OF URBAN AGGLOMERATIONS: UNDERSTANDING SUSTAINABILITY IN THE CONTEXT OF ADVERSE EXTERNAL IMPACT
Authors:   V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University, Kharkiv, Ukraine, KRAVCHENKO Kateryna
Published: December 2024

This article explores certain theoretical and methodological aspects of the human-geographical study of urban agglomerations. This research gains particular relevance in the context of the full-scale war in Ukraine. The study aims to highlight the theoretical and methodological aspects of the human-geographical study of urban agglomerations. To achieve this goal, the following tasks were identified: to analyze the theoretical and methodological foundations of the socio-geographical study of urban agglomerations; to characterize the essence of urban agglomerations as a functional component of the socio-geosystem; to define the term “ axis of sustainability” and reveal its features using the Kharkiv agglomeration as an example. The research identifies that the functioning of an urban agglomeration relies on various integration processes: economic, infrastructural, spatial, social, cultural, and ecological integration. Given its systemic nature, an urban agglomeration is defined as a complex, open territorial system that includes one or several large core cities and adjacent urban and rural settlements. These are interconnected by permanent and integrated economic, social-communication, cultural, ecological, transport, and innovative ties, forming a unified functional space with high interaction intensity. “Growth poles” play a crucial role in maintaining adaptability for settlement system functioning and development, forming a kind of “axis of sustainability”. This term refers to a “dynamic element of the settlement framework that, under adverse or hostile conditions, ensures the functioning and development of a given territory through intensive connections and an expanded range of functions.” Testing this theory using data from the Kharkiv region demonstrates that russia’s military aggression has had a devastating impact on the area. Analyzing the dynamics of the region’s “axis of sustainability “ from 1991 to the present reveals that only two out of the six axes that existed before the war are still functional. However, their presence indicates the potential for recovery and further regional development.
COMPACTNESS OF TERRITORIAL HROMADAS OF VOLYN OBLAST IN THE CONTEXT OF SPATIAL PLANNING

Published: December 2024

The purpose of the study is to analyze the spatial compactness of territorial hromadas in the Volyn oblast. Spatial compactness is an important geographical parameter of the functioning of territorial hromadas in the context of spatial planning. The differences of the hromadas by the length of administrative boundaries were analyzed. This indicator is the main one for determining the configuration and compactness of the territory. A noticeable variability in the spatial differentiation of territorial hromadas in the Volyn oblast was revealed. Volyn oblast is dominated by hromadas with administrative borders less than 150 km long. It was found that the length of the borders partially determines the configuration and compactness of their territories. The differences between hromadas in terms of the compactness of their territories were also analyzed and the spatial compactness coefficients and spatial-settlement compactness coefficients were determined. Analysis of spatial compactness coefficient of the oblast’s hromadas shows its lower variability compared to the area of the territory. It was found that two-thirds of the oblast’s hromadas have a high compactness coefficient of the territory. These hromadas form an arc-shaped strip in the central part of the region, extending from the border with Belarus to the border with Lviv oblast. The “worst” spatial compactness coefficients are found in urban territorial hromadas and some rural hromadas. The reason for this is that the configuration of the original territories was not taken into account when forming them. It was found that the largest spatial and settlement compactness coefficients in the region are mainly found in urban and settlement territorial hromadas with a large population and a compact configuration of the territory. The compactness coefficients calculated by us are a basic prerequisite for studying geospatial factors of hromadas development in general and spatial planning of their development in particular.
Specifics of Value Orientations of Future Specialists of the Socionomic Sphere
Authors: Gogleva A.V. , Shchelina T.T.
Published: December 2024

The article presents an analysis of the specifics of the value orientations of future specialists in the socionomic sphere on the basis of the Arzamas branch of the National University of Economics. The materials of an empirical study of the relationship between students’ value orientations and their time perspective in junior courses (n = 120, age 18-21) are presented. As a result, it was revealed that students’ preferred values are those aimed at self-development, achieving their own success, and improving the quality of life. Values aimed at building relationships with other people, on the contrary, are insignificant to them. Most students are focused on the present, striving to satisfy their needs, but at the same time they often recall negative events and emotions from the past, while the future seems far away to them. The features of students’ value orientations with different prevailing time factors are also revealed. According to the data obtained, it can be concluded that modern students are facing a crisis of value attitudes.

The article presents the results of testing the Uncertainty Response Scale method on a Belarusian sample. The scale includes subscales: Emotional uncertainty, Cognitive uncertainty, and Desire for change. The sample included 425 teenagers from the Republic of Belarus aged 10 to 18 years (average age 14,8 ± 1,4 years, 54,35% female). The Uncertainty Response Scale demonstrated good internal consistency (Cronbach’s alphas for subscales 0.81–0.95; confirmatory factor analysis fit indices GFI = 0.86; CFI = 0.91; RMSEA = 0.069 [0.064; 0.074]; SRMR = 0.0656; CMIN/df = 3.0) and invariance with respect to gender, age group, and country of residence (Republic of Belarus, Russian Federation). The Multidimensional Life Satisfaction Scale was used to test external validity. No differences by gender and age were found. Adolescents with different academic performance differ in their style of coping with uncertainty: successful students are characterized by much higher values of Cognitive uncertainty and Desire for change and lower values of the Emotional uncertainty.

Authors: Pužule Sandra
Published: December 2024

Stable access to finance is an important part of a healthy economy, which supports investment activity and thus promotes economic growth. External financing for companies and households in Latvia is mainly attracted through banks, so developments in the lending market have a significant impact on the macroeconomic situation in the country.In Latvia, as in all of Europe, non-bank lending and the entry of Financial Technology (FinTech) companies into the field of financial services are currently developing very rapidly. Non-bank lending is a relatively new service. In 2007, the first company started to offer the option of a distance borrowing. The author of the paper believes that currently the development of the crediting industry is influenced by the active operation of these companies and the types and scope of the offered services.
La narrativa de Murakami. Del Realismo fantástico a Raymond Carver
Authors: Castellón Alcalá Heraclia
Published: December 2024

El trabajo trata de  reconocer en  la narrativa de Murakami -primordialmente, en los cuentos- algunas constantes que le dan sello propio, que irían desde la aparición de los elementos fantásticos o, asimismo,  ciertas hechuras -gama de personajes, giros argumentales…- cuyo referente podría encontrarse en los cuentos de Raymond Carver. Por ello, se rastrea en las páginas murakamianas para determinar en qué grado se manifiestan los mecanismos e influencias señalados. En ese recorrido indagatorio es fundamental la remisión tanto a obras y autores reconocidos (Strecher, Rubio, Atkins) como a las declaraciones del propio autor al respecto. De la confrontación de los textos de Murakami con los análisis teóricos sobre el realismo fantástico (Roas, Oviedo) y los textos y principios asumidos por Carver se puede concluir que ambos rótulos resultan perceptibles para  caracterizar esta narrativa.  Se comprueba, pues, que el flujo del material subconsciente configura significativamente estos relatos al trasladarlos al entorno fantástico e, igualmente, que los tipos de personajes de Murakami, entre otros rasgos, pueden semejarse a los del narrador norteamericano.
Latín y libertinaje. El Fragmentum Petronii de Marchena (el texto latino y su traducción) en la edición del Satiricon de Díaz (1968)
Authors: García Jurado Francisco
Published: December 2024

El Fragmentum Petronii (F.P.), compuesto por el Abate Marchena y publicado en 1800, ofrece interesantes cuestiones filológicas y literarias. Algunas de ellas no han sido suficientemente señaladas, como las diferencias entre el texto latino y la versión francesa del fragmento. A pesar de ello, se suele partir de la versión francesa cuando el F.P. aparece vertido a una lengua moderna. Tan solo algunos latinistas han optado por traducir directamente el texto latino, como es el caso de Manuel Cecilio Díaz y Díaz en su edición del Satiricón (Díaz 1968). En este trabajo vamos a considerar tanto la versión de Díaz como su propia edición del texto latino, donde aparece algún lapsus calami. Nuestro análisis se hará a la luz de otros documentos considerados por Díaz, tales como las ediciones anteriores del F.P. y el comentario de Menéndez Pelayo, a lo que añadiremos la versión francesa de Baillard para la colección Nisard.
El silencio a la luz de la Retórica Cultural
Authors: Li Cheng
Published: December 2024

El silencio, que suele ser considerado como antítesis de la palabra y una forma pasiva en la comunicación, está cargado de significados, funciones y retoricidad. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo hacer una breve indagación del silencio a la luz de algunos conceptos fundamentales de la Retórica Cultural —motor metafórico, interdiscursividad, poliacroasis, cenestesia comunicativa y retórica en sociedad—, enfocada en dos aspectos específicos: el silencio en contextos interculturales y el silencio como herramienta de protesta social. El significado y la percepción del silencio varían en culturas y colectivos con distintos estilos comunicativos y pueden causar confusiones o malentendidos, por lo que se requiere una mayor competencia intercultural en la cenestesia comunicativa. En la dimensión social, en contra del silencio impuesto por el poder dominante, especialmente en regímenes autoritarios, el silencio también es utilizado en muchas ocasiones como una forma de resistencia y protesta.
El sangriento furor de Marte: poesía épica del siglo XVIII
Authors: Lorenzo Álvarez Elena
Published: December 2024

Como subrayaba Frank Pierce, el corpus de la épica del siglo XVIII es escaso si se compara con los 150 poemas del siglo anterior (1968: 340-369). La cuestión es por qué. Por ello, este trabajo reconstruye los momentos en que se reactivó el género y las razones que movieron a su promoción, reorganiza los testimonios de que la épica es capaz de metamorfosearse conforme a los parámetros de la Ilustración y, en el marco del sistema literario contemporáneo, explora las razones por las que, pese al prestigio que aún se le reconoce, pese a ser considerada una posible vía de renovación poética y pese a las expresas defensas y patrocinios, el género no fraguó.
Blanca Luz Brum y los vapuleos de la crítica
Authors: Martínez Martínez Laura María
Published: December 2024

En este artículo, se explora la posición marginal de la escritora Blanca Luz Brum (1905-195) en la historia literaria y se postula que el olvido crítico imperante es el resultado de estrategias deslegitimadoras por parte de la crítica literaria, y no el reflejo natural de la relevancia de su trayectoria intelectual. Con tal objetivo, en primer lugar, se bosqueja una reconstrucción de la relación  de Brum con el campo cultural latinoamericano a través de la investigación de archivo y se muestra su importancia en el entorno peruano de vanguardia, así como sus múltiples tensiones en el ambiente mexicano. En segundo lugar, mediante los planteamientos de la crítica literaria feminista, se analiza la recepción de su obra desde el momento de su publicación hasta la actualidad y se desentrañan los hábitos críticos deslegitimadores que construyeron el margen de manera paulatina, como la descripción infantilizada, las desviaciones biográficas o la consideración de figura-anexo.
