Djibouti in Turkey’s Geopolitical Strategy (2012–2020)
Authors:   Saint Petersburg State University, Parlanova Aila T. kyzy
Published: February 2024

The presented article provides comprehensive analysis of bilateral relations between Turkey and Djibouti for the period of 2012–2020. The author has identified Ankara’s economic and geopolitical interests in Djibouti, taking into account Turkey’s foreign policy strategy in Somalia. Particular attention is paid to the humanitarian component of bilateral relations with Djibouti. For the purpose of comparison, the article also examines the policies of other regional players, such as China, Japan, the USA, as well as the EU and Middle East countries. Conclusion dwells upon the fact that Ankara’s economic and humanitarian projects in Djibouti have been car-ried out over the 2012–2020 period, with the main geostrategic objective being to strengthen its position near the Gulf of Aden-Bab el-Mandeb Strait strategic logistics hub. Due to the presence of foreign bases of other countries in Djibouti, Ankara is inferior to its competitors in military-political terms. Despite the weak economic position due to the presence of Chinese projects, the economic and humanitarian direction of bilateral relations between Turkey and Djibouti showed positive dynamics.
Love as a Semantic and Aesthetic Co-Existence of Man and Woman
Authors:   Kazan State Power Engineering University, Zakirova Gulnara F. , Guryanov Alexey S. ,   Kazan State Power Engineering University,   Kazan State Medical University
Published: February 2024

The article delves into the phenomenon of love, perceived as a semantic and aesthetic co-existence of a man and a woman. The aim of the article is to demonstrate that sexual attraction, which has not risen above corpo-reality, does not yet possess a human dimension proper, but has the potential for actualization, and love is conditioned, but not determined by sexual attraction, which allows it to have a “metaphysical” character. The sexuality itself acquires a special acuteness in language and aesthetic feeling, and pleasure, being verbalized and transformed in the image of the beautiful, intensifies and acquires new overtones, already raising relations between the sexes to a new level of co-existence. According to the article the idea is defended that the condi-tion of love is the integrity of the human being, instilled by the transformation of the loving, loved and surround-ing world.

Authors:   Kutafin Moscow State Law University (MSAL), Kruglyakov Sergey V.
Published: February 2024

The article delves into the realization of the social and legal function of the appointed advocate in criminal and civil proceedings in cases involving state secrets, as well as problematic issues and liability that may occur in case of its divulgence. The relevance of the research topic is that in Russia there is an increase in the number of convictions under Article 283 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation – disclosure of state secrets. In addition, the article discusses theoretical issues, the relationship between attorney-client privilege and state secrets, and provides examples from judicial practice. From a certain angle, the author is convinced that it is necessary to investigate the issue of the advocate’s activity on appointment in criminal and civil cases, in which there is a state secret, in order to further develop recommendations for advocates. The formal legal method, the method of comparative analysis, synthesis, the inductive method, generalization and systematization of scientific sources on the research problem, comparative and predictive methods were used.
Sino-Russian Cooperation in the Field of Natural Gas Trade in the Context of Western Sanctions
Authors:   Saint Petersburg State University, Hanting Xie
Published: February 2024

Since 2014, Russian energy companies have faced challenges due to sanctions imposed by Western coun-tries. However, after the outbreak of the Russian military intervention in Ukraine in 2022, sanctions took on an avalanche-like nature, posing a serious threat to the development of the Russian energy sector. This forced Russia to reorient its export flows of hydrocarbons, especially natural gas. Sanctions in the energy sector had a significant impact not only on Russia’s energy industry but also on the global market for energy resources. They led to a reconsideration of the trading strategy for energy resources between Russia and China. This article highlights and characterizes the challenges posed by anti-Russian sanctions to the cooperation between Rus-sia and China in the supply of Russian gas after the start of the Russian military intervention in Ukraine in Feb-ruary 2022.

Authors: Nguyen Kim Cuc Thi , Truong Phuc Hung , Thi Hoa Truong , Ho Xuan Tuy , Nguyen Phu Van
Published: February 2024

Objectives: Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a major foodborne pathogen in aquatic animals and a threat to human health worldwide. This study investigated the prevalence, antimicrobial resistance, antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs), and biofilm formation of V. parahaemolyticus strains isolated from fish mariculture environments in Cat Ba Island, Vietnam.Methods: In total, 150 rearing water samples were collected from 10 fish mariculture farms in winter and summer. A polymerase chain reaction assay was used to identify V. parahaemolyticus, its virulence factors, and ARGs. The antimicrobial resistance patterns and biofilm formation ability of V. parahaemolyticus strains were investigated using the disk diffusion test and a microtiter plate-based crystal violet method, respectively.Results: Thirty-seven V. parahaemolyticus isolates were recovered from 150 samples. The frequencies of the tdh and trh genes among V. parahaemolyticus isolates were 8.1% and 21.6%, respectively. More than 90% of isolates were susceptible to ceftazidime, cefotaxime, and chloramphenicol, but over 72% were resistant to ampicillin, tetracycline, and erythromycin. Furthermore, 67.57% of isolates exhibited multidrug resistance. The presence of ARGs related to gentamicin (aac(3)-IV), tetracycline (tetA) and ciprofloxacin (qnrA) in V. parahaemolyticus isolates was identified. Conversely, no ARGs related to ampicillin or erythromycin resistance were detected. Biofilm formation capacity was detected in significantly more multidrug-resistant isolates (64.9%) than non-multidrug-resistant isolates (18.9%).Conclusion: Mariculture environments are a potential source of antibiotic-resistant V. parahaemolyticus and a hotspot for virulence genes and ARGs diffusing to aquatic environments. Thus, the prevention of antibiotic-resistant foodborne vibriosis in aquatic animals and humans requires continuous monitoring.

Objectives: The incidence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has increased, particularly among individuals who have recovered from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. Health literacy is considered a “social vaccine” that helps people respond effectively to the pandemic. We aimed to investigate the association between long COVID-19 and PTSD, and to examine the modifying role of health literacy in this association.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at 18 hospitals and health centers in Vietnam from December 2021 to October 2022. We recruited 4,463 individuals who had recovered from COVID-19 infection for at least 4 weeks. Participants provided information about their sociodemographics, clinical parameters, health-related behaviors, health literacy (using the 12-item short-form health literacy scale), long COVID-19 symptoms and PTSD (Impact Event Scale-Revised score of 33 or higher). Logistic regression models were used to examine associations and interactions.Results: Out of the study sample, 55.9% had long COVID-19 symptoms, and 49.6% had PTSD. Individuals with long COVID-19 symptoms had a higher likelihood of PTSD (odds ratio [OR], 1.68; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.63–2.12; p<0.001). Higher health literacy was associated with a lower likelihood of PTSD (OR, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.97–0.99; p=0.001). Compared to those with long COVID-19 symptoms and the lowest health literacy score, those with long COVID-19 symptoms and a 1-point health literacy increment had a 3% lower likelihood of PTSD (OR, 0.97; 95% CI, 0.96–0.99; p=0.001).Conclusion: Health literacy was found to be a protective factor against PTSD and modified the negative impact of long COVID-19 symptoms on PTSD.

This paper studies the evolution of the productive structure of Puerto Rico between 1967 and 1992. In order to examine the evolution, Input-Output, and network analysis techniques were used, which allowed us to illustrate the significant relationships in the structure. Diameter and Density were estimated, and it was found that economic activity increased between 1967 and 1977. However, between 1982 and 1992, economic activity decreased. In addition, it was found that Electricity and Chemical Products had significant Outdegree measures but had minimal Indegree measures, so they bought small amounts from the rest of the economy.
THE INFLUENCE OF THE COOPERATIVE SCRIPT METHOD ON SELF-CONFIDENCE AND ITS IMPACT ON STUDENTS’ PUBLIC SPEAKING SKILLS
Authors: Rofiqul Majid  , Maghfiroh Lailatul , Alfin Jauharoti
Published: February 2024

Abstract

 This research aims to examine the relationship of the cooperative script method in increasing self-confidence and its impact on public speaking skills. This study used path analysis with  37 students as the sample. Data collection was through a questionnaire to assess learning methods, self-confidence, and public speaking skills. The data were analyzed through linear regression and Sobel tests. The results showed that 1) The cooperative script method had an influence on students' self-confidence; 2) Students' self-confidence had an influence on their public speaking skills; 3) The cooperative script method did not have a significant direct effect on students' public speaking skills so that the cooperative script method has an indirect effect on students' public speaking skills through self-confidence as a mediating variable. Therefore, to improve public speaking skills indirectly, learning methods or models that affect self-confidence are needed because self-confidence is one of the components that can affect students' public speaking skills.
Michael Riffaterre's Semiotic Analysis of the Poem 'Ila Ummi' by Mahmoud Darwish
Authors: Faizun Mochammad , Kawa Andrew Dedita Dwiki
Published: February 2024

يهدف هذا البحث إلى دراسة القصيدة إلى أمي لمحمود درويش باستخدام نظرية سيميائية لريفاتير. درويش من أحد الشعراء ولد في فلسطين. وقصيدته إلى أمي تحكي عن حنينه لأمه. كلمة الأم في هذه القصيدة يمكن أن نفسرها بالأم البيولوجية التي ولدته والأم باعتبارها المكان الذي نشأ فيه أي وطنه. وهذان المعنيان المحتملان نفسرها من خلفية كتابة القصيدة. ولإثبات هذه الفرضية سيتم فحص القصيدة باستخدام النظرية السيميائية لريفاتير. يستخدم هذا البحث أساليب البحث المكتبي مع تحليل البيانات باستخدام تقنيات الوصفية النوعية. فإن سيميائية لريفاتير تبحث أيضًا عن الهيبوغرامات (Hipogram)، فهي مناسبة لتفسير القصيدة. وتظهر نتائج البحث أن هذه القصيدة هي في الأساس تعبير عن الحزن والشوق والاكتئاب. ويوصف هذا التعبير بأنه حنينه إلى أمه البيولوجية، والتي يمكن تفسيرها أيضاً على أنها وطنه، مدينة ميلاده، أي فلسطين. وفي نفس الوقت فإن نقش هذه القصيدة عندما عاش محمود درويش عام 1965 في أحد السجون في إسرائيل وهيبروغرام من هذه القصيدة هي قصيدة أمي لعبد الله البردوني.

Abstract

This article explores the poem "Ila Ummi" by Mahmoud Darwish through the lens of Riffaterre's semiotic theory. Darwish, a prominent Palestinian poet, penned this poem expressing his deep longing for his mother. The word "mother" in the poem carries a twofold significance: it refers both to the biological mother who gave birth to him and to the symbolic motherland, Palestine, the place where he was nurtured. This dual interpretation is informed by the socio-historical context surrounding the poem's creation. To substantiate this hypothesis, the poem is analyzed using Riffaterre's semiotic framework. The research methodology employs a desk research approach, with data analysis utilizing qualitative descriptive techniques. Riffaterre's semiotics also seeks to identify hypograms, hidden textual patterns, which enrich the interpretation of the poem. The research findings reveal that the poem serves as a poignant expression of sadness, longing, and profound grief. This sentiment is rooted in Darwish's yearning for his biological mother, which simultaneously echoes his longing for his homeland, Palestine, specifically the city of his birth. It is noteworthy that the poem was written in 1965 while Darwish was imprisoned in Israel, adding a layer of subtext to its emotional resonance. Furthermore, the hypogram identified within the poem is "My Mother" by Abdullah Al-Baradouni, hinting at intertextual influences and shared themes of maternal and patriotic longing.

Authors: Gacem Rania , Souahi Hana
Published: February 2024

The semi-arid is a climate characterized by precipitation that is. insufficient to maintain crops and where evaporation often exceeds rainfall. Vegetation is one of the most sensitive indicators of environmental changes understanding the patterns of biodiversity distribution and what influences them is a fundamental pre-requisite for effective conservation and sustainable utilization of biodiversity. In this study. our focus was on examining the vegetation diversity in the semi-arid region of Tebessa. which falls within the Eastern Saharan Atlas domain in North Africa’s semi-arid zone. Plants were sampled at 15 sites distributed across the study area. The quadrat method was used to conduct floral surveys. The sampling area of each sample was 100 square meters 10 m × 10 m (quadrat). Each quadrat was measured for species richness (number of species). abundance (number of individuals). and Richness generic (plant cover). Based on the floristic research. 48 species were found. classified into 21 families. with Asteraceae accounting for 34.69% of the species and Poaceae accounting for 14.28%.

Refleksje Józefa Andrzeja Gierowskiego o polskiej kulturze i nauce w XVIII wieku
Authors: Orzeł Joanna
Published: February 2024

The issues of the history of culture and science of the eighteenth‑century Polish‑Lithuanian Commonwealth are rare in the works of Józef Andrzej Gierowski. This article analyses his views on these issues. He devoted most attention to the subject of the beginnings of the Enlightenment in Poland, joining a long scholarly discussion about it. He agreed that the precursors of the Enlightenment in Poland were already active in the 1740s, during the era of the Wettins’ rule. He pointed to educational reform, writing activity (Benedykt Chmielowski’s, the political and journalistic work of a number of writers) and publishing (especially of the Załuski brothers), and the development of periodicals as the three pillars on which reforms were carried out in the future – during the reign of Stanisław August Poniatowski. In addition, and just as importantly, he drew attention to methodological weaknesses concerning the study of intermediate periods, i.e. between the Baroque and the Enlightenment. He also pointed out the need for a comprehen-sive picture of the cultural history of the Polish‑Lithuanian Commonwealth in the 18 th century – proponents of both Sarmatian culture and Enlightenment thought.
Społeczna historia idei à la française: krytyczne zadania i warunki możliwości w kontekstach (pół)peryferyjnych
Authors: Kuligowski Piotr
Published: February 2024

The article offers a critical insight into the social history of ideas as a research trend that has been dynamically developing within French academic circles since 2010. Methodologically, the social history of ideas attempts to apply sociological tools to study the diffusion and embedding of political ideas within specific groups. After presenting the general directions of this trend's development, the author focuses on its critics, offering their own reflections on the difficulties one might encounter when applying its principles to research on Central‑Eastern Europe. To tackle this task, the author provides a methodological exercise to verify the extent to which the principles of social history of ideas can be applied to the study of (semi)peripheral ideas. In conclusion, the author emphasises the invigorating nature and critical tasks that social history of ideas can fulfill within Polish historiography as well.
Two artificial intelligence models underperform on examinations in a veterinary curriculum
Authors: Coleman Michelle C. , Moore James N.
Published: February 2024

OBJECTIVE

Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models have rapidly generated new possibilities for education and knowledge dissemination in various domains. Currently, our understanding of the knowledge of these models, such as ChatGPT, in the medical and veterinary sciences is in its nascent stage. Educators are faced with an urgent need to better understand these models in order to unleash student potential, promote responsible use, and align AI models with educational goals and learning objectives. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the knowledge level and consistency of responses of 2 platforms of ChatGPT, namely GPT-3.5 and GPT-4.0.

SAMPLE

A total of 495 multiple-choice and true/false questions from 15 courses used in the assessment of third-year veterinary students at a single veterinary institution were included in this study.

METHODS

The questions were manually entered 3 times into each platform, and answers were recorded. These answers were then compared against those provided by the faculty members coordinating the courses.

RESULTS

GPT-3.5 achieved an overall performance score of 55%, whereas GPT-4.0 had a significantly (P < .05) greater performance score of 77%. Importantly, the performance scores of both platforms were significantly (P < .05) below that of the veterinary students (86%).

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Findings of this study suggested that veterinary educators and veterinary students retrieving information from these AI-based platforms should do so with caution.
Title to Territory in Europe in the Context of the Russian-Ukrainian Armed Conflict: Methods, Illegal Claims and Legal Assessments
Authors: Kononenko Valerii , Tarakhonych Tetiana , Tymchenko Liliana , Parkhomenko Nataliia
Published: February 2024

Illegal decisions and actions do not give rise to legal consequences. An annexed territory cannot receive the status of a part of an aggressor state. The question of a territorial dispute does not arise in this case. It is correct to talk about a unilateral unreasonable claim. Territory, as an integral part of the concept of state, as a criterion of statehood, has acquired special significance in the modern conditions. It is not only a natural resource (land, water, subsoil) and a space for the placement of technologies and hazardous waste. It may be considered as a line of protection. States may lay claim to one or another part of the territory of a neighboring state. The methods of territorial acquisitions of the past do not comply with the norms of modern international law.
Cross-border Transit of Energy Resources and Significant Matters of its Legal Regulation
Authors: Jafarli Turan
Published: February 2024

The article emphasises that states’ competitiveness is dependent on energy resources and that these resources have become a key component of national economic security. Consequently, this opens up new avenues for international legal cooperation in energy relations. Transporting enough oil and natural gas across the globe to meet the daily demand is an epic undertaking, that is increasing drastically. Even with the global implementation of Green Energy Policies, oil and gas companies continue to explore and acquire additional oil reservoirs. This evidence indicates that the use of carbohydrates as a source of energy will continue to be widespread and essential. The conflict has historically been a defining characteristic of transit issues between states, as mentioned in the article. In the modern era, the acquisition and transportation of energy resources frequently sparked violent conflicts and cold wars. Typically, such conflicts “emerge” in countries richer in energy resources or with a crucial role in bringing these resources to the global market. Today, the regions with the most active armed conflicts are or were at the heart of the world’s energy resources.
Sustainability and Constitutions: Constitutional Law and the Dilemma of the Future
Authors: Groppi Tania
Published: February 2024

This article deals with the emerging concept of “sustainability”, that, according to the empirical research presented here, is mentioned in the text of 67 constitutions, very often in relation to the environment or with the rights of future generations. As the vast majority of those references consist in very general substantive provisions, needing legislative or judicial implementation, the article deals with the challenges brought by “aspirational constitutions” and with the role of the courts in their enforcement. Finally, I maintains that, in order to achieve the effectiveness, constitutions should include procedural provisions aimed at integrating sustainability instances (throughout specialized bodies) into the legislative process.
Protection Against Energy Exclusion as a Social Welfare Task
Authors: Cendrowicz Dominika
Published: February 2024

Many households in Poland are currently experiencing a situation in which they must choose between drastic energy savings, resulting in a noticeable lack of heat comfort, and spending on energy costs at the expense of other basic needs, such as food or medications. This phenomenon has negative consequences, from a deteriorating state of health, especially among children and older people, to ‘saving themselves’ by burning coal dust or waste, which, in turn, increases emissions and leads to pollution of the air. It also causes energy exclusion in many cases, which can cause breaches of human dignity. The question therefore arises: how does social welfare deal with energy exclusion on legal and social grounds with regard to satisfying the energy needs of citizens and what are the role and tasks of social welfare in conditions of an energy crisis? The answers to these questions are accompanied by an analysis of the concepts of energy poverty and energy exclusion, as well as a discussion and assessment of selected forms of social welfare in counteracting the energy exclusion of citizens.
Urban Wilderness
Authors: Iannizzotto Lorenzo Stefano
Published: February 2024

The new urban condition has generated ambiguous spaces within it: Terrain Vague or Urban Voids  are spaces within the city, nameless and without clear boundaries, difficult to define. They are unpaved and vegetated spaces that are neither public spaces, nor gardens, nor agricultural fields, lying in a state of abandonment, suspension, and invisibility. With no specific function and temporarily outside the logic of the market, these spaces are appropriated and used daily by people and nature.

Indeed, they eschew traditional cartographic representation, where they are often represented as mere white spaces, or spaces with future destinations. For this reason, walking as a common action becomes the fundamental tool for approaching, getting to know, and studying these spaces, while photography and other visual media become not only a means of representation, but also of studying and understanding the dynamic reality of these spaces and the different realities that inhabit them.

With this visual essay, I do not aim to provide an unambiguous representation or definition of these spaces, far from it. Going along with the fragmentary and uncertain nature of these places, I have used photography as a means of urban research to understand and describe these places, and as a personal travelogue within these spaces, as if to take notes. Having chosen Lisbon as the privileged terrain of my research, this visual essay has the sole purpose of trying to represent these spaces in a disorderly and fragmentary way, following their nature, and in doing so, trying to unveil a hidden beauty and reveal their enormous potential for the city.
Rite of the Waters: procession through the Campanhã Washhouses
Authors: Darmon Chloé , Manfredini Gabriela
Published: February 2024

This article aims to reflect on the invisibility of women's work. We focus on two interconnected themes: the devaluation of domestic work as a de facto job; and the neglect of public washhouses, which were spaces for women to meet and work in the past.
Initially, Chloé's research discussed the public wash houses in Porto in order to cover their history, their impact on women's lives and their current state of deterioration. Gabriela's research reflected on the relationships and developments between domestic labour and performance art in an amalgam of repetitions, deviations and accumulation.
As a result of the Des/oriente project, there was a combination of these two areas of knowledge that gave rise to new multidisciplinary research carried out in two distinct areas: fine arts and architecture. The project in question aimed to realise narratives in the public space in the parish of Campanhã in Porto with activations by local artists.
In practical terms, the research materialised in a performance held in three washhouses where we were able to reactivate these spaces in an artistic way while also exploring different narratives about domestic work. It was possible to once again create a place for meeting and sharing in these spaces.

This dystopian way to introduce this article underlines how urgent a paradigm shift is needed regarding the relations (or lack thereof) we establish among each other and between ourselves and the overall built environment (as individuals, communities, and societies). It is being accepted, recognizable mainly by younger generations, that – most probably – time is running out to address the needed paradigm shift concerning the path we will have to go through to achieve a more balanced tomorrow.
