The Perception of Regional History and of the Great Patriotic War by the Youth of the Kaliningrad Region in the Context of the Attitude to the Figure of Joseph Stalin
Authors: Krishtal Mikhail I.
Published: December 2022

The article is devoted to the study of the historical memory of young people in the Kaliningrad Region. According to the hypothesis of the study, the specificity of its content depends on the respondents’ attitude to Stalin, around whose personality there are manipulations aimed at reducing the role of the Red Army in Second World War. The main method of the study was formalized interviews with young people aged 18-35 (n = 1108). Focus group interviews acted as an auxiliary scientific method that allowed for the interpretation of statistically processed empirical data. The results of the study revealed differences in emotional attitudes toward the end of the Great Patriotic War. The young people who have a negative attitude towards Stalin more often focus on the tragic events of the war, perceiving the 9th May as a day of mourning for the fallen and as a day of remembrance of what the people experienced during the war. Victory in the Great Patriotic War is in the eyes of the majority of young people in the region the main event in Russian history. However, young people who have a negative attitude towards Stalin are much less likely to assess the victory in the same way. This peculiarity is conditioned by family memory - as a rule, Stalin’s opponents more often keep in their memory tragic events in the lives of their relatives during the war. Differences were also found among young people in the Kaliningrad Region with respect to regional history. On the whole, respondents indicated that they were most interested in the Prussian and German periods of history. However, pro-Stalinist young people are also highly interested in the Soviet period. In addition, neutral and pro-Stalinist youths have an overwhelmingly positive attitude toward the renaming of Königsberg into Kaliningrad, while among Stalin’s opponents there is a high proportion of supporters of retaining the historical name (Königsberg).

Development of Antarctic Scientific Research and International Scientific Cooperation of China
Authors: Wang Yaxin
Published: December 2022

The purpose of this article is to summarise the current attitude of the Chinese government to Antarctic scientifc research and to characterise Antarctic scientifc research carried out by China as a non-Antarctic country by reviewing the performance of Antarctic scientifc expeditions and scientifc research in China over the last forty years.

The author approaches the study from the perspective of three aspects. Firstly, there is a reviewof Chinese government documents of recent years on China’s activities in Antarctica. Particular attention is paid to scientifc research and the Chinese government’s attitude to China’s research activities in Antarctica. Secondly, the history of the development of Chinese scientifc research in the Antarctic is considered. The path traveled by China is described, from sending the frst expeditionary group to Antarctica to the creation of research institutes, higher educational institutions and participation in international cooperation and scientifc programs. Finally, the characterization of the frst two aspects allows the author to analyze the achievements, shortcomings and peculiarities of China’s research activities and international cooperation in Antarctica. The author suggests the relevance of scientifc cooperation and development of research activities in this region from the point of view of China’s strategic interests.

The review of ofcial documents made public by the Chinese government in recent years allows the author to use the method of historical analysis to systematically summarize the country’s research activities in Antarctica and study the history of scientifc research. The paper also applies such methods of scientifc research as comparative analysis and statistical analysis.

Authors: Xie Kunchao
Published: December 2022

The course of recent years towards the eﬀective development of digital technologies, which was determined by the governments of both Russia and China, involves the search for the main guidelines for further cooperation between countries in this area. Long-term mutually benefcial bilateral interaction of states in other areas can have a logical continuation in the development of digital technologies, as evidenced by the results of the dialogue of states at the highest level. In this article, the author analyzes the state of bilateral relations between China and the Russian Federation in the economic sphere, and determines the potential for the development of digital technologies in countries based on the concept of strategizing by V.L. Kvint, identifes the “problem areas” of digital cooperation, and also indicates the strategic guidelines for further interaction between states in this area.

Developing Students’ Skills of Identifying Reliable Scientific Sources: The Role of a Librarian
Authors: Vasilyeva V. A. , Shilov A. N.
Published: December 2022

Purpose. The purpose of this paper is to provide modes of teaching Russian undergraduate students fundamental critical analysis of scientifc papers and ways of identifying misinformation and disinformation in “Academic Writing” discipline. design/methodology/approach. “Academic Writing” discipline was taught to frst-year undergraduate students by scientifc library experts. At a starting period students were asked to complete a questionnaire and perform a test, and then write an essay to identify how students were able to assess Web scientifc literature and verify their “tolerance” to inaccurate and fake scientifc information. Then contact hours on theory and practice of identifying and assessing information were introduced into the curriculum. At the end of the semester lists of works cited in original essays and fnal assays were compared.

Findings. The fndings reveal that entirely all frst year undergraduate students lack the ability to diﬀerentiate between qualitative certain scientifc information and misinformation and disinformation, and they willingly borrow anything from the Web. However, students acquired necessary skills to assess information critically using socio-technical systems infrastructures.

This was demonstrated with list of literature analysis in students’ essays and peer-checking. originality. It is headline news and social networks when it is necessary to distinguish from authentic and inaccurate information. However, skills of critical assessment of scientifc publications are of vital importance at a starting period of studies. In publications of that sort falsifcations, fabrications and other fake discoveries can lead to reputational and fnancial risks, and then trigger unethical demeanour of future researchers. It is qualifed librarians being experts in electronic resources and data based use who are able to get students to “digital hygiene”.

Practical implications. The results of the paper can be used for teaching in university curriculum. Embedding information literacy and academic writing as well as involving information resources into students’ curriculum are aimed at the ability to identify misinformation and disinformation. Librarian-developed “Academic writing” discipline component might be introduced into curriculum as a self-contained short course or a composing element of any students’ academic discipline. All this mitigate the risks of applying low-equality, unverifed and openly fake information in educational and scientifc works.
Luta por reconhecimento na ética primeira
Authors: Lelis Davi Augusto Santana de
Published: December 2022

O artigo parte da ideia de que a luta por reconhecimento é estruturada na matriz egológica da ética, assim é o Eu quem determina ao Outro como deve se dar a estrutura procedimental de auto reconhecimento, reconhecimento jurídico e reconhecimento social. Essa estrutura impede que o Outro se auto determine e propõe, filosoficamente, apenas uma mudança imediata necessária. Com o objetivo de propor a luta por reconhecimento na ética primeira, a ética que possibilita ao Outro determinar o comportamento do Eu, faz-se análise crítica da teoria da Luta por reconhecimento com base na estrutura filosófica levinasiana da ética primeira. Conclui-se que a ideia da luta por reconhecimento na ética primeira é possível e capaz de permitir, com a inversão de sentido, que o Outro determine tanto como reconciliação quanto como redistribuição a luta por reconhecimento de modo a estabelecer uma mudança lenta, visceral e capaz de uma revolução no vir-a-ser do tempo.

Authors: Imam Munandar Tri , Yusnu Pratama Afrianda
Published: December 2022

Kitab Undang Hukum Pidana (KUHP) Indonesia saat ini masih menggunakan peninggalan zaman kolonial. Perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi membawa kita ke dampak yang positif maupun yang negative sehingga upaya pembaharuan Kitab Undang Hukum Pidana (KUHP) menjadi momentum untuk mengkriminalisasi perbuatan yang dianggap bertentangan dengan norma yang hidup di masyarakat. Hukum positif belum mengatur secara lengkap mengenai tindak pidana kesusilaan salah satunya terhadap perbuatan Pekerja Seks Komersial (PSK). KUHP mengatur mengenai perbuatan yang dilakukan oleh mucikari, sedangkan perbuatan yang dilakukan oleh pekerja seks komersial tidak ada pengaturan yang jelas sehingga kriminalisasi terhadap perbuatan pekerja seks komersial dalam hukum positif tidak dapat dikenakan sanksi pidana. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui sejauh mana pengaturan terhadap perbuatan pekerja seks komersial dalam hukum pidana Indonesia dan mengetahui pengaturan mengenai sanksi pidana yang dapat diberikan kepada pekerja seks komersial di masa mendatang. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penulisan ini yaitu penelitian hukum normatif. Hasil penelitian ini yaitu pengaturan mengenai perbuatan pekerja seks komersial dalam hukum pidana Indonesia hingga saat ini belum ada pengaturan yang jelas sehingga menimbulkan kekosongan norma, hanya Perda tertentu yang mengatur mengenai hal tersebut dan dimasa mendatang dengan adanya upaya pembaharuan RUU KUHP akan menjadi momentum mengenai kriminalisasi terhadap perbuatan pekerja seks komersial.
Background and Meaning of the Scene on the Ferry in L. N. Tolstoy’s Novel Resurrection
Authors:   Herzen University, Mikhnovets Nadezhda G. , Koposova Maria R. ,   Herzen University
Published: December 2022

In the article, the scene on the ferry became the subject of a special study for the first time. Consideration of this scene in the historical and cultural aspect showed that the Old Believer theme, initiated by the letter of the runner A. V. Vlasov, set the final chapters of the novel Resurrection on an epic scale in understanding the fateful changes taking place in Russia at the end of the 19th century. The article reveals that the author of the novel wedged diametrically opposite ideas belonging to the folk thinker V. K. Sutaev. As a result, the author outlined a perspective for coordinating the old man’s differently directed judgments, it implies “non-resistance to evil by violence.” The final conclusion is made that the scene on the ferry grows out of the history of the statehood of pre-Petrine and Peter the Great times, which by the end of the 19th century was losing its essential foundations and degenerating into violence, as well as from the history of the original popular movement of the people in search of truth — as in the desired the prospect of finding a loving unity for all, and in the real danger of struggle and protest.
Travel Diaries of Siberian Merchants of the Late 18th–19th Centuries: Peculiarities, Issues and Information Potential
Authors:   Institute of History of the Siberian Branche of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Komleva Evgeniya V.
Published: December 2022

The article characterizes the corpus of travel diaries created among the Siberian merchants in the late 18th–19th centuries, reveals the features, problems and information capabilities of this type of sources. Compiled both by the will of the travelers themselves, and by order of the authorities standing over them, often subsequently published, merchant diaries were originally intended for the reader, often a representative of the state administration, and aimed not just to describe the road, but to fix the difficulties of the way, natural obstacles, features of certain settlements, to give recommendations to the authorities and merchants. All this makes the travel records of merchants valuable sources on economic history, the history of international relations, ethnography. The surviving texts testify to the significant role played by merchants in the study and economic development of remote areas of the Russian Empire, the formation of a network of land and water communications in Russia, the development of international trade. Unlike men’s texts, which were oriented to the interlocutor from the very beginning, women’s travel notebooks and albums were characterized by a focus on the inner world of the author, a description of personal experiences, attention to the details of everyday life.

This study intends to explain how the level of body image in class XI students at SMAN 1 Margaasih. The number of samples used as many as 140 students from a total population of 355 students, or if described 87 female students and 53 male students. Among them there are 22% of students aged 17 years, 68% of students aged 16 years and 10% of students aged 15 years. This study uses a descriptive quantitative approach with aÂ random sampling technique.Â The data collection instrument used was a non-test technique in the form of a questionnaire taken from Maulida (2020). In this study, it was found that theÂ body imageÂ of class XI students of SMAN 1 Margaasih was generally in the medium category or as much as 72% (101 students), while in the high category it was 16% (23 students), and the low category was 12% (16 students). . The data obtained shows that female students haveÂ body imageÂ a lowerthan male students. This can be explained by the presence of 16 students who are categorized as lowÂ body image, 14 of whom are female students. This is because women generally haveÂ body imageÂ a lowerthan men. An example that can be seen is the feeling of inferiority to their physical possessions and often comparing themselves with others who have more physicality than them. The physical can be in the form of height, weight, attractive face, and skin color.Keywords:Â Body image, Students, SMAN 1 MargaasihÂ Â Â Â

CONVOLUTION EQUATIONS ON THE LIE GROUP G =(−1 , 1)
Authors: Duduchava Roland
Published: December 2022

The interval G=(−1 ,1) turns into a Lie group under the
group operation x ◦ y : = ( x + y ) ( 1 + x y ) − 1 , x , y ∈ G . This
enables definition of the invariant measure d G ( x ) : = ( 1 − x 2 ) −
1 d x and the Fourier transformation F on the
interval G and, as a consequence, we can consider Fourier
convolution operators W G , a 0 : = F G − 1 a F G on G. This
class of convolutions includes celebrated Prandtl, Tricomi and
Lavrentjev-Bitsadze equations and, also, differential equations of
arbitrary order with the natural weighted derivative G u ( x ) = ( 1 − x
2 ) u ′ ( x ) , x∈ G. Equations are solved in the scale of
Bessel potential H p s ( G , d G ( x ) ) , 1⩽ p⩽∞, and
Hölder-Zygmound Z ν ( G ) , 0 ∞ spaces, adapted to the group G.
Boundedness of convolution operators (the problem of multipliers) is
discussed. The symbol a( ξ), ξ∈R, of a convolution equation W G , a 0 u
= f defines solvability: the equation is uniquely solvable if and only
if the symbol a is elliptic. The solution is written explicitly with the
help of the inverse symbol. We touch shortly the multidimensional
analogue-the Lie group G n .
Towards a circular economy that begins and ends in nature
Authors: Oberč B.P. , de Jong R. , Demozzi T. , Battioni B.
Published: December 2022

The circular economy is a positive step forward to help achieve our environmental targets. When implemented with nature in mind, it can present an important opportunity for nature and biodiversity. As outlined by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES, 2019b), to halt and reverse biodiversity loss by 2030 we will need to transform our production and consumption systems. This is precisely what the circular economy aims to address. This report thus takes a close look at both the EU’s Circular Economy Action Plan and the Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 and explores the relationship between the circular economy and biodiversity, especially from a policy point of view.
Representations of African American Quiltmaking: From Omission to High Art
Authors: Klassen Teri
Published: December 2022

African American quiltmaking began to gain recognition as an expressive form distinct from European American quiltmaking in the countercultural climate of the 1970s. Representations of it since then have served to update the Eurocentric, patriotic image of quiltmaking in the United States with components ofmulticulturalism and cultural critique. These representations in turn caused tensions along the lines of class, race, gender, and scholarly discipline. This study shows the power of words and things when used together, as in museum exhibits, to affirm or challenge the existing social order.
Aztec Dance, Transnational Movements: Conquest of a Different Sort

This article explores the rapid growth of participation in Aztec dance in Mexico, the increasing transnational movement of Aztec dancers across national borders, and the mixed receptions experienced by dancers in their efforts to forge networks with indigenous communities on a global level Examining a discourse of conquest that has been reinvigorated and recirculated over centuries, I suggest that such ideas may thwart Aztec dancers’ alliance-building efforts and may raise important questions about indigenous identity, appropriation, and group boundaries.
Embracing Difference: Salsa Fever in New Jersey
Authors: Borland Katherine
Published: December 2022

Studio-based salsa dance in Northern New Jersey has succeeded in creating an ethnically diverse social space in which Latin style represents both a specific ethnicity and an alternative pan-ethnic identity that encompasses and embraces difference. The wide appeal of the dance y however, rests in its dramatic and provocative display of gendered interactions. Attention to dancers’ subjective understandings of their own practice provides a female-centered perspective on the emerging cultural scene.
Visiting the Six Worlds: Shamanistic Journeys in Canadian Mi’kmaq Cosmology
Authors: Hornborg Anne-Christine
Published: December 2022

Mi’kmaq Indians’ descriptions of journeys between worlds, as we find them in tales collected from the early seventeenth century to the early twentieth, are far too complex to fit into Mircea Eliade’s model of shamanism or romantic images of Indians as being "at one with nature." The tales reveal six parallel worlds in which all types of beings belong to families, have wigwams, and search for food. The parallelism between worlds has no significance for beings living their ordinary lives, but it is of the utmost importance for understanding how differing types of beings in the stories (people, animals, supernaturals) achieve interworld journeys. The notions of cosmological deixis and perspectivism are used to explore the narratives and shed light on Mi’kmaq cosmology.
Healing at the Coast of Death in Spanish Galicia: TheRomeríato Our Lady’s Boat
Authors: Valentine Eugene , Valentine Kristin Bervig
Published: December 2022

This note explores a romeria (a pilgrimage to a local site) on the Costa da Morte (the Coast of Death) at Muxía, a small village in the autonomous region of Galicia, in Spain, where thousands of faithful romeros gather every September. As Roman Catholics, many are there simply to enjoy a socioreligious outing on the wind-swept rocky promontory that tips into the Atlantic Ocean, but most are there to participate in activities they believe will heal their bodies and souls-activities that involve their contacting a sacred image of the Virgin, leaving votive offerings in the form of wax simulacra (ex-votos) at the sanctuary church, attending an outdoor Mass, or climbing around and under several huge stones that lie between the sea and a nearby sanctuary dedicated to the Virgin. Oral tradition considers these stones to be the sail, tiller, and overturned hull of the boat Mary used when she sailed to Spain to console the Apostle James, who had become discouraged in his missionary activities. Muxía is one of Galicia’s most popular pilgrimage sites, venerated especially by sailors and those suffering from renal illnesses or in general need of succor from the shrine’s holy protector.
Food Choice, Symbolism, and Identity: Bread-and-Butter Issues for Folkloristics and Nutrition Studies (American Folklore Society Presidential Address, October 2005)
Authors: Jones Michael Owen
Published: December 2022

Research on food abounds, from the history of differing types of fare to the relationship between provisioning and culture, gender roles, and eating disorders. In disciplines concerned with health and nutrition, few studies focus on the metaphorical aspects of alimentation; while many ethnographic works do deal with the symbolic nature of gastronomy, they tend to emphasize eating as commensality and food as an expression of identity in ethnic, regional, and religious groups. Symbolic discourse involving cuisine is pervasive and complex, however, manifesting itself in a wide variety of contexts and exhibiting multiple meanings that may be ambiguous, conflicting, or pernicious. Understanding how messages are conveyed through culinary behavior requires an examination not only of victuals but also of the preparation, service, and consumption of food-for all are grist for the mill of symbolization. Here, I bring together a number of ideas about the iconic nature of cooking and eating: what is fodder for symbol creation, how and why meanings are generated, and what some of the effects of food-related representations are. I also problematize identity as it relates to food. My goal is to suggest directions for future research on foodways as well as applications in fields concerned with nutrition education, counseling, and dietary change.
"Celebrating Arabs": Tracing Legend and Rumor Labyrinths in Post-9/11 Detroit
Authors: Langlois Janet L.
Published: December 2022

This article examines one instance of a widely spread rumor (incipient legend) circulated via e-mail in northwest Detroit that Arab employees at a Middle Eastern restaurant cheered when they saw television footage of the planes crashing into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. It argues that rumor and legend scholars, especially those examining alternative communication paths including Internet transmission, should work to retain the complexity of performance-oriented studies in their comparative analyses. It takes "the middle road" in building a case for examining, whenever possible, the complex intertwining of localized and globalized "folkloric space"for readings that are richly textured and evocative of a variety of social conditions.
Inventing the "Found" Object: Artifactuality, Folk History, and the Rise of Capitalist Ethnography in 1930s America
Authors: Miller James S.
Published: December 2022

As numerous scholars have chronicled, the decade of the 1930s in America witnessed an explosion ofpopular interest in the presumptions and protocols of cultural ethnography. The Depression years were a time when such academic-sociological studies as Constance Rourke’s American Humor, Zora Neal Hurston’s Mules and Men, Ruth Benedict’s Patterns of Culture, and Howard Odum’s various studies of rural Appalachia became virtual bestsellers in their own right-each animated by what might be called an indexical-excavatory enthusiasm for unearthing, itemizing, and exhibiting the vestiges (both material and human) of America’s putatively "vanishing" past. This article sets out to assess the cultural and ideological work this wide-ranging impulse performed, probing the ways that mainstream or popular ethnography in the 1930s (despite its often explicit interest in critiquing or challenging commercial modernity) came to underwrite a particular and highly over-determined narrative of corporate-capitalist "progress." To accomplish this, I examine three discrete yet exemplary ethnographic texts: Dorothea Lange’s An American Exodus, John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath, and James Agee and Walker Evans’s Let Us Now Praise Famous Men. Documenting places and people feared to be most immediately threatened by industrial-commercial development, I argue that these writers ultimately depicted America’s socioeconomic fringes not as the repository of a redemptive "folk" culture, but as the site and source of commercial capitalism’s own heroic and authentic "roots." Behind their interest in excavating and documenting the artifacts of a bygone age was a more formative desire to invent a model of the vernacular past that could somehow imbue capitalism’s rationalized and articulated operations with a tangible sense of historicity, a palpable and authenticating texture of "pastness."
Representing Trauma: Political Asylum Narrative
Authors: Shumam Amy , Bohmer Carol
Published: December 2022

The trauma narratives told by refugees in their appeal for asylum status in the United States are culturally constructed, based not only on local cultural discourses for talking about grief, tragedy, struggle, and displacement, but also on the legal and bureaucratic cultures of the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services (B.C.I.S.). On the basis of interviews with asylum seekers and with immigration lawyers and B.C.I.S. officials, we discuss the cultural obstacles of the asylum application process.
"They Will Come from the Other Side of the Sea": Prophecy, Ethnogenesis, and Agency in Yaqui Narrative
Authors: Erickson Kirstin C.
Published: December 2022

For Mexico’s Yaqui Indians, ethnic identity is both represented and renegotiated in narrative moments. In this article, I examine the process of narrative self-fashioning through the lens of the "Talking Tree," a story that portrays Yaqui ethnogenesis as a reaction to a prophecy of Spanish conquest. I contend that this narrative accords the Yaquis a level of agency that ordinary histories do not, refiguring them as informed actors in the determination of their own destiny.
Stress Hyperglycemia Drives the Risk of Hospitalization for Chest Pain in Patients With Ischemia and Nonobstructive Coronary Arteries (INOCA)

Published: December 2022

OBJECTIVE

Ischemia with nonobstructive coronary arteries (INOCA) is a prevailing finding in patients with angina. However, the main factors underlying the risk of being rehospitalized for chest pain in patients with INOCA remain mostly unknown.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We evaluated INOCA patients referred to the “Casa di Cura Montevergine” in Mercogliano (Avellino), Italy, from January 2016 to January 2021 for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). In these subjects, we assessed the impact of the stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR), defined as the ratio of mmol/L blood glucose and % HbA1c, on the risk of rehospitalization for chest pain.

RESULTS

A total of 2,874 patients with INOCA successfully completed the study. At the 1-year follow-up, the risk of rehospitalization for chest pain was significantly higher (P < 0.001) in INOCA patients with SHR >1 compared to patients with SHR ≤1. These findings were confirmed by multivariable analyses (adjusting for potential confounders, including age, BMI, blood pressure, heart rate, chronic kidney disease, and cholesterol), propensity score matching, and inverse probability of treatment weighting.

CONCLUSIONS

Our data indicate, to our knowledge for the first time, that SHR on hospital admission significantly and independently increases the risk of rehospitalization for chest pain in INOCA patients.

Die Natur braucht uns nicht – aber wir brauchen die Natur. Frische Luft, sauberes Wasser, fruchtbarer Boden sowie ein Klima, in dem Menschen gut leben können. All das betrachten wir viel zu häufig als selbstverständlich. Die Natur stellt uns diese „Ökosystemleistungen“ gratis zur Verfügung – doch wir verändern die (natürliche) Umwelt seit geraumer Zeit auf eine Weise, dass wir unsere eigene Lebensgrundlage zerstören. Dieser ganz neuartige, große „Ökosystematlas Schleswig-Holstein“ zeigt, wie vielfältig die Beiträge der Natur für die Menschen sind. Ausgerichtet auf Schleswig-Holstein, werden die Potenziale und die Beiträge der Ökosystemleistungen für die menschliche Gesellschaft beschrieben – detailliert, auf interdisziplinärer Basis, mit zahlreichen Karten, Graphiken, Abbildungen und Fotografien. Dabei entwickeln die Autoren eine nachhaltige Strategie, mit der die Wechselwirkungen zwischen Mensch und Umwelt langfristig erhalten und weiterentwickelt werden können.
Das schriftstellerische Werk von Friedrich Leopold Graf zu Stolberg (1750-1819)
Authors: Gruber Sabine , Knödler Stefan , Baudach Frank
Published: December 2022

Der Band wirft einen konzentrierten, interdisziplinären und frischen Blick auf das vielgestaltige schriftstellerische Werk eines Autors, der zu Unrecht oft im Schatten berühmterer Zeitgenossen stand. Friedrich Leopold Stolbergs Werk fällt in eine nicht nur politisch, sondern auch literaturhistorisch wechselhafte Zeit und entzieht sich einer klaren Rubrizierung, indem es einen weiten Bogen von der Aufklärung über die Empfindsamkeit, den Sturm und Drang, die Klassik (bzw. den Klassizismus) und die Romantik bis zur Restauration spannt. Der Band geht auf eine im September 2021 in der Eutiner Landesbibliothek durchgeführte Tagung zurück und erweitert die bisherige, trotz wichtiger und verdienstvoller Vorarbeiten nicht sehr umfangreiche interpretatorische Auseinandersetzung mit Stolbergs Werk.

Authors: Persson Gudrun
Published: December 2022

Tormod Heier diskuterar frågan om USA har blivit en del av problemet snarare än en lösning på Norges säkerhetsutmaningar i norr. Många av hans resonemang kan te sig inaktuella efter Rysslands anfallskrig mot Ukraina.
Has the USA become part of the problem, rather than the solution, regarding Norway’s security challenges in the North? This is the question posed by Tormod Heier. However, many of his arguments may seem dated after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Teoria e movimento – do movimento estudantil ao feminismo camponês e popular: encontros com Saffioti
Authors: Calaça Michela
Published: December 2022

Esse artigo parte da lógica que a história de vida não é algo isolado das relações sociais, para discutir a pertinência da construção teórica de Saffioti, tanto no sentido de contribuir para a análise da realidade como para apontar caminhos organizativos. Seu objetivo é discutir a relação entre teoria e ação política como parte da arte de tecer a realidade social. A partir da técnica conhecida como história de vida, buscou-se apresentar como as obras dessa autora contribuem para a compreensão da realidade ligada à vida da militante. Em um segundo momento, buscamos apresentar debates que temos vivenciado em vários espaços de atuação, que são sobre como se dão as relações sociais entre classe/gênero/raça/etnia, em especial na nossa realidade brasileira. Para isso o resgate do nó de Saffioti nos parece fundamental. E, por último, a título de provocar a reflexão, buscou-se debater a relação teoria e ação política para transformação da realidade.

Centralidade e metamorfoses do trabalho no século XXI: precarização das relações de trabalho, consciência de classe e resistência na perspectiva da emancipação
Authors: Gomes Cardoso Franci , Fonsêca Silva Karênina
Published: December 2022

Este artigo expõe resultados parciais de pesquisas sobre a centralidade do trabalho e suas transformações ocorridas no século em curso. Discute o trabalho como categoria fundante do ser social, gênese do processo de sociabilidade, na medida em que é condição natural e eterna da vida humana. Reafirma que no contexto da precarização do trabalho, este não perde sua centralidade na existência humana em suas relações sociais. Traz uma reflexão sobre a capacidade dos seres humanos de, a partir do trabalho, transformar a natureza, a si e aos outros, e de criar possibilidades para romper com as estranhezas e aprisionamentos engendrados nas relações de dominação entre capital e trabalho através de lutas de resistência em busca da emancipação.

PECULIARITIES OF CYSTIC FIBROSIS IN NEWBORN ON THE EXAMPLE OF A CLINICAL CASE
Authors: Mazur O.H. , Rubina O.S. , Bertsun K.T. , Homon R.O. , Slipchuk K.I.
Published: December 2022

Cystic fibrosis is a severe genetic disease, which is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner and is characterized by a polyorganic clinical presentation with predominantly exocrine, respiratory and digestive gland involvement. Every year more than 45 000 children are born worldwide with this genetic disease. According to official statistics, 674 children with cystic fibrosis are registered in Ukraine, 25 of them in the Vinnytsia region. The disease is caused by a mutation in the gene encoding the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). The F508del mutation is most common in the paediatric population (19-34%). The most common clinical manifestations of cystic fibrosis in newborns are disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, hepatobiliary system and respiratory system. In 20% of newborns, one of the earliest manifestations of cystic fibrosis is meconial ileus, which may pose a risk of complications such as meconium peritonitis, sputum, gangrene or intestinal necrosis. Early diagnosis with neonatal screening, improved care for the neonatal manifestations of meconial ileus and adequate medical follow-up by a multidisciplinary team of specialists, and improved lifelong replacement fermentation therapy have a significant impact on the life expectancy of patients with cystic fibrosis.This article presents a clinical case of early diagnosis of cystic fibrosis in a newborn. When meconial ileus is present and cysticfibrosis is suspected in a newborn, early genetic diagnosis is mandatory, in addition to timely and correctly performed neonatal screening. Comprehensive and timely treatment leads to improvement in cystic fibrosis patients and slows down the development of pathological changes in the bronchopulmonary and hepatobiliary systems.Conclusions. Prevention of a severe course of cystic fibrosis is in early detection of the disease during neonatal screening, indiagnosis at the first signs of the disease and early start of pathogenetic treatment, which improves the quality of life of patients.
The Death of the English Language Classroom: Pedagogical Perspectives
Authors: El-Nabawi Abdel Wahed Shaalan Iman
Published: December 2022

The present study aims to explore the importance of the various pedagogical practices in the teaching/ learning process. The study also probes the obstacles to applying these practices in an English language classroom, and sheds light on the future expectations of the teaching/ learning process in light of them. The main question this study seeks to answer is: “What are the obstacles in the application of the various pedagogical practices of the teaching/ learning process?” The study employs a mixed-method approach based on qualitative and quantitative research methodology. Semi-structured interviews, followed by a close-end questionnaire, are introduced to some 20 female instructors of English in the department of English, at Sattam bin Abdulaziz University, Saudi Arabia. Instructors are asked about their awareness of the various pedagogical practices of the teaching/ learning process, and the extent to which they apply them in the English language classroom. They are also asked about the students’ actual learning outcomes and future expectations in light of these practices. Results of the study showed dissatisfaction by the instructors due to discrepancies between the theoretical and actual learning outcomes. Results also showed dissatisfaction by the instructors due to the inapplicability of some pedagogical practices for various reasons and obstacles.

Published: December 2022

The article substantiates the importance of forming prospective English teachers’ cross-cultural competence. Nowadays, education focuses on cooperation and establishing cross-cultural relations between the representatives of diverse cultural societies. Therefore, it concentrates on forming a personality capable of absorbing and reproducing verbal and non-verbal information during dialogical communication with foreign negotiators. This paper aims to validate the category “cross-cultural competence of a prospective English teacher,” develop its structure and experimentally verify its effectiveness. The study establishes that cross-cultural competence covers linguistic, sociocultural, activity, and axiologically-emotive components. The authors used the following theoretical research methods: analysis of philosophical, lingua didactic literature and scientific studies, synthesis, comparison, concretization; empiric methods: questionnaire-diagnostic (survey, testing, summative assessment, interview); analysis of speech activity products (spoken replies); lecture attendance and analysis; pedagogical experiment; methods of statistical treatment and experimental results analysis. The research on the training peculiarities of future English teachers based on cross-cultural grounds allowed us to conclude that the experimentally-verified methodology is effective. The practical data analysis points out the rise of forming cross-cultural competence levels in the experimental group. The reason is the cultural enrichment of linguistic material and the revelation of contrastive aspects.
TESL Undergraduates’ Perceptions: Utilizing Social Media to Elevate Speaking Skills
Authors: Dona Donny Claudia , Hafizah Adnan Nor
Published: December 2022

Teaching English as a Second Language undergraduates are English teachers in training. Recently, a concern arose when it was found that these undergraduates in Indonesia perceived their speaking skills as the lowest in terms of their mastery. Many studies have been conducted on the use of social media. Still, there is a literature gap in using social media among TESL undergraduates in the Malaysian context. Thus, this study aimed to explore TESL undergraduates’ perceptions of their speaking skill mastery and their perceptions of utilizing social media to enhance their speaking skills. It was significant to investigate how those undergraduates feel about their speaking skill mastery to create self-awareness. By being aware of their belief, they can find ways to keep improving themselves. The main question for the study was to discover respondents’ belief in their speaking mastery level and respondents’ self-confidence in speaking performance. A total of 132 respondents from the National University of Malaysia participated in this research through an online questionnaire conducted on Google Forms. The results showed that the students recorded unsatisfactory perceptions of their speaking skill mastery. The data revealed that social media does help in elevating their speaking skills. The students chose ‘WhatsApp,’ ‘YouTube,’ and ‘TikTok’ as their preferred social media that help their oral communication skills. In addition, limitations and recommendations were explained to better future works in the equivalent or relevant studies.
