Verunsichert? Betroffen? Nachdenklich?
Authors: Huneke Friedrich
Published: March 2021

Moralisierende, stereotype Thematisierungen der NS-Zeit im Geschichtsunterricht erreichen Jugendliche heute nicht mehr. Um die vierte Generation nach Auschwitz zu Reflexionen über Zivilcourage, über gesellschaftliche Mechanismen der Inklusion und Exklusion anzuregen, stellt dieser Beitrag neuartige Zugriffe vor: lebensgeschichtliche Situationen lassen die Lernenden Entscheidungssituationen kategorial durchspielen: Mitmachen oder Widerstehen? - Der Autor hat als Mitglied des Beirates an der Entwicklung des »ZeitZentrum Zivilcourage« in Hannover mitgewirkt. In diesem »Lernort für Erinnerung und Demokratie« werden die Lernenden multiperspektivisch mit Alltagsbiographien aus ihrer eigenen Stadt konfrontiert, deren Entscheidungen zu erkunden sind. Die lebensgeschichtliche Methodik ist auch für den inklusiven Geschichtsunterricht fruchtbar zu machen.

What has Rome to do with Silicon Valley? In other words, what has the Church today to do with science and technology? Does the Church have any interest in a debate with the present scientifi c and technical progress, of which Silicon Valley is a symbol? The aim of my research is to look for a new idea of technological progress that will allow to build an integral vision of reality. The teaching of Pope Francis, especially in the Encyclical ‘Laudato sí’ (2015), provides the basis for the undertaken topic. The structure of the considerations refers to the principles of the social doctrine of the so-called three steps: look, judge, act. Therefore, in the course of the considerations fi rstly ZWISCHEN ROM UND SILICON VALLEY 69 the features of technical progress will be presented (1), then its evaluation (2), and fi nally elements of an integral vision of reality (3).
Demonologia w Sermones św. Piotra Chryzologa
Authors: Kochaniewicz Bogusław
Published: March 2021

The article presents the role of evil spirits in the history of salvation according to Saint Peter Chryso- logus. This argument has not been examined so far though it is to be found in many homilies of the Bishop of Ravenna. His sermons explain the reason for the fall of the angels created by God as wonderful heavenly beings. They explain the devil’s role in temptation, indicating the cause of evil to the world. The preacher emphasizes the victory of Christ over Satan and points to him as a source of hope for Christians in their spiritual struggle, in which practice of prayer and fasting are helpful.

On-line decision augmentation (OLDA) has been considered as a promising paradigm for real-time decision making powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI). OLDA has been widely used in many applications such as real-time fraud detection, personalized recommendation, etc. On-line inference puts real-time features extracted from multiple time windows through a pre-trained model to evaluate new data to support decision making. Feature extraction is usually the most time-consuming operation in many OLDA data pipelines. In this work, we started by studying how existing in-memory databases can be leveraged to efficiently support such real-time feature extractions. However, we found that existing in-memory databases cost hundreds or even thousands of milliseconds. This is unacceptable for OLDA applications with strict real-time constraints. We therefore propose

Furthermore, we explore the use of the Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory Module (PMEM) to make FEDB more cost-effective. When comparing the proposed PMEM-optimized persistent skiplist to the FEDB using DRAM+SSD, PMEM-based FEDB can shorten the tail latency up to 19.7%, reduce the recovery time up to 99.7%, and save up to 58.4% total cost of a real OLDA pipeline.
Improving information extraction from visually rich documents using visual span representations
Authors: Sarkhel Ritesh , Nandi Arnab
Published: March 2021

Along with textual content, visual features play an essential role in the semantics of visually rich documents. Information extraction (IE) tasks perform poorly on these documents if these visual cues are not taken into account. In this paper, we present Artemis - a visually aware, machine-learning-based IE method for heterogeneous visually rich documents. Artemis represents a visual span in a document by jointly encoding its visual and textual context for IE tasks. Our main contribution is two-fold. First, we develop a deep-learning model that identifies the local context boundary of a visual span with minimal human-labeling. Second, we describe a deep neural network that encodes the multimodal context of a visual span into a fixed-length vector by taking its textual and layout-specific features into account. It identifies the visual span(s) containing a named entity by leveraging this learned representation followed by an inference task. We evaluate Artemis on four heterogeneous datasets from different domains over a suite of information extraction tasks. Results show that it outperforms state-of-the-art text-based methods by up to 17 points in F1-score.
Effects of COVID-19 outbreak on the sound environment of the city of Milan, Italy
Authors: Zambon Giovanni , Confalonieri Chiara , Angelini Fabio , Benocci Roberto
Published: March 2021

In this paper, we present the results of the noise monitoring in the urban area of Milan, Italy, associated with COVID-19 outbreak. In order to limit the diffusion of the pandemic, Italy adopted growing levels of restrictive measures, which ended with a 41-day lockdown from March 23 to May 3 2020. This action created a new kind of environment including a remarkable reduction of air, water and soil pollutants, together with a partial recovery of the ecosystems otherwise compromised. The presence of a permanent noise monitoring system made of 24 sensors installed in the city of Milan, allowed capturing the changes in the urban sound environment in a pre, during and post-lockdown period (months from February to June 2020). The comparison of the noise levels in terms of both absolute noise levels (Lden) and hourly noise profiles (median over lockdown period) with the same period of 2019, showed a dramatic reduction of the noise levels of approximately 6 dB. Splitting the contribution of all-non-traffic noises or anomalous noise events (ANE) from the recorded noise levels, we observe a greater contribution of the latter during the lockdown period. The use of DYNAMAP noise prediction system over an extended urban area allowed the evaluation of the population exposure to noise, estimating an increase of 14.9% and 16.4% of the exposed population to noises with Lden below 53 dB(A) and Lnight below 45 dB(A) with respect to 2019.

Fundamentals of Natural Ventilation in Buildings
Authors: Lavtižar Kristijan
Published: March 2021

When environmental factors, such as the microclimate, in-depth knowledge is important in understanding spatial issues related to health. We spend most of the day indoors, so ventilation conditions are especially important, given their impact on our well-being, satisfaction, productivity, and health. The purpose of this article is to present an overview of modern methods of ventilation of individual indoor spaces with special attention paid to natural ventilation. The key questions raised for this purpose are: What systems are in use today, what are their shortcomings and the challenges that we face, how had the problem of ventilation been addressed in the past, and how can traditional knowledge be applied in modern architecture? To be able to answer this, clear physical laws must be defined. The article presents the standard methods of ventilation of buildings around the world and gives suggestions for their use in the design of quality and sustainably designed open and closed spaces (buildings and their indoor spaces). Examples of the use of natural ventilation and samples of combining established ventilation principles, considering the legality of microclimatic factors, with modern technologies of mechanical ventilation and permeable facade systems are collected. The core of the article refers to the question: What are the possibilities for the ventilation of buildings that ensure the appropriate indoor air quality while simultaneously allowing for the ambient integration with the natural environment?

Published: March 2021

Since 2007, when the real estate bubble burst, we was immersed in a global economiccrisis. During this period, the Spanish financial system has experienced a process ofeconomic imbalance and downturn as a consequence of massive exposure to theconstruction sector. In this context, the banking institutions, aware of the need torecapitalize their balance sheets, offered their retail clients a complex and high-riskproduct: preferred shares. What at first was considered the ideal solution forrecapitalizing the institutions has done nothing but worsen the economic situation,highlighting the vulnerability of the banking Spanish system. All of this gave rise to aprocess of bank restructuring that was unprecedented in Spain. The result has been thereduction of the number of banking institutions from 45 in 2009 to 12 today, with theconsequent repercussions on the macroeconomic variables and the economies of familiesand businesses.

Published: March 2021

The editorial process of a journal, specifically peer review, validates the scientific publication supported by the experience and knowledge of the reviewers. However, despite the fact that there are programs that instruct members of the scientific community in research, there are few training tools to participate in the arbitration of a manuscript. The purpose of this article was to present a guide with a series of recommendations on how a scientific article should be peer-reviewed. A synopsis of recommendations and criteria is presented and will be used by the reviewers of Odovtos-International Journal of Dental Sciences as a reference to support their work.
Historical Perspectives of the Role of NO/NO Donors in Anti-Tumor Activities: Acknowledging Dr. Keefer's Pioneering Research
Authors: Bonavida Benjamin
Published: March 2021

The role of nitric oxide (NO) in cancer has been a continuous challenge and particularly the contradictory findings in the literature reporting NO with either anti-cancer properties or pro-cancer properties. This dilemma was largely resolved by the level of NO/inducible nitric oxide synthase in the tumor environment as well as other cancer-associated gene activations in different cancers. The initial findings on the role of NO as an anti-cancer agent was initiated in the late 1990's in Dr. Larry Keefer's laboratory, who had been studying and synthesizing many compounds with releasing NO under different conditions. Using an experimental model with selected NO compounds they demonstrated for the first time that NO can inhibit tumor cell proliferation and sensitizes drug-resistant cancer cells to chemotherapy-induced cytotoxicity. This initial finding was the backbone and the foundation of subsequent reports by the Keefer's laboratory and followed by many others to date on NO-mediated anti-cancer activities and the clinical translation of NO donors in cancer therapy. Our laboratory initiated studies on NO-mediated anti-cancer therapy and chemo-immuno-sensitization following Keefer's findings and used one of his synthesized NO donors, namely, (Z)-1-[N-(2-aminoethyl)-N-(2-ammonioethyl)amino]diazen-1-ium-1,2-diolate (DETANONOate), throughout most of our studies. Many of Keefer's collaborators and other investigators have reported on the selected compound, O2-(2,4-dinitrophenyl) 1-[(4-ethoxycarbonyl)piperazin-1-yl] diazen-1-ium-1,2-diolate (JS-K), and its therapeutic role in many tumor model systems. Several lines of evidence that investigated the treatment with NO donors in various cancer models revealed that a large number of gene products are modulated by NO, thus emphasizing the pleiotropic effects of NO on cancers and the identification of many targets of therapeutic significance. The present review reports historically of several examples reported in the literature that emanated on NO-mediated anti-cancer activities by the Keefer's laboratory and his collaborators and other investigators including my laboratory at the University of California at Los Angeles.

Significance Statement

Hypertension and elevated levels of LDL cholesterol (LDLc) are vital risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with CKD. Although statins indisputably reduce plasma cholesterol levels, not all patients with renal disease benefit from them, making CVD the leading cause of CKD-related mortality. CKD induces hyperelongation of hepatic heparan sulfate (HS) chains from HS proteoglycans (HSPG), thereby increasing the HSPG–proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type-9 (PCSK9) interaction. These changes associate with elevated LDLc levels, without affecting LDL-receptor expression. This study, using rat models, discloses a novel mechanism behind hypercholesterolemia in CKD with prospects for future investigation of the HSPG-PCSK9 interaction and development of novel heparin-related glycomimetics targeting interruption of HSPG-PCSK9 binding.

Background

Dyslipidemia is an important risk factor in CKD. The liver clears triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRL) via LDL receptor (LDLR), LDLR-related protein-1 (LRP-1), and heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs), mostly syndecan-1. HSPGs also facilitate LDLR degradation by proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9). Progressive renal failure affects the structure and activity of hepatic lipoprotein receptors, PCSK9, and plasma cholesterol.

Methods

Uninephrectomy- and aging-induced CKD in normotensive Wistar rats and hypertensive Munich-Wistar-Frömter (MWF) rats.

Results

Compared with 22-week-old sex- and strain-matched rats, 48-week-old uninephrectomized Wistar-CKD and MWF-CKD rats showed proteinuria, increased plasma creatinine, and hypercholesterolemia (all P<0.05), which were most apparent in hypertensive MWF-CKD rats. Hepatic PCSK9 expression increased in both CKD groups (P<0.05), with unusual sinusoidal localization, which was not seen in 22-week-old rats. Heparan sulfate (HS) disaccharide analysis, staining with anti-HS mAbs, and mRNA expression of HS polymerase exostosin-1 (Ext-1), revealed elongated HS chains in both CKD groups. Solid-phase competition assays showed that the PCSK9 interaction with heparin-albumin (HS-proteoglycan analogue) was critically dependent on polysaccharide chain length. VLDL binding to HS from CKD livers was reduced (P<0.05). Proteinuria and plasma creatinine strongly associated with plasma cholesterol, PCSK9, and HS changes.

Conclusions

Progressive CKD induces hepatic HS elongation, leading to increased interaction with PCSK9. This might reduce hepatic lipoprotein uptake and thereby induce dyslipidemia in CKD. Therefore, PCSK9/HS may be a novel target to control dyslipidemia.

Análisis de las propiedades psicométricas de la Escala Breve de Flujo en estudiantes universitarios que practican actividad deportiva
Authors: Garzon Mosquera Julian Camilo , Araya Vargas Gerardo Alonso , Soto Jeannette
Published: March 2021

El flujo como constructo psicológico representa un pilar de la psicología positiva. Desde sus inicios, a mediados de los años setenta, se ha trabajado tanto en su base teórica como operacional. Dentro del campo operacional, los diferentes instrumentos de medición han intentado medir e identificar este fenómeno en diversas actividades. Sin embargo, este constructo psicológico aún tiene preguntas por resolver en una población costarricense universitaria practicante de actividades físico-deportivas sin fines de rendimiento. Por tal motivo, el objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar las propiedades psicométricas de la escala breve de flujo (EBF) con una muestra de estudiantes universitarios que practican actividades físico-deportivas. Se procedió a realizar un análisis factorial confirmatorio del instrumento. Los resultados proporcionaron una nueva estructura dimensional de dos factores para el instrumento EBF. Los índices de ajuste al modelo (RMSEA, CFI) lograron obtener los valores necesarios para concluir que el modelo planteado para el instrumento es el adecuado en esta muestra. Así mismo, la confiabilidad es la apropiada. Con estos resultados se confirma el uso de EBF para una población universitaria de actividades físico-deportivas.
Sistema penal y revolución de las sociedades de control: suplicio, prisión e inocuización. Desde la sociedad de control al control de la sociedad
Authors: Ruiz-Morales Manuel L.
Published: March 2021

El artículo analiza la evolución del castigo a lo largo de la historia, pasando de una primacía en la utilización de las penas corporales a la utilización casi masiva de la pena de prisión –que continúa siendo la principal sanción penal de los sistemas de penas en los ordenamientos penales del mundo-. Sin embargo, la propia prisión se fue transformando de acuerdo a las necesidades que debía cumplir como centro de reclusión, convirtiéndose en el paradigma más palmario de sociedad de control. A partir de ahí la institución penitenciaria se bifurcó en dos vías diversas, las cuales verdaderamente convergen en sí, puesto que el ordenamiento penal actual es esclavo del orden y el control, lo que terminado instaurando la inocuización de los individuos, tanto en los establecimientos penales, como en la propia sociedad.

Se describe un novedoso modelo teórico, el cual define diferentes tipologías de la resocialización, ampliando las tradicionales concepciones que la restringen al contexto penitenciario, por lo que subraya su dimensión comunitaria. Se fundamenta la importancia de la vinculación laboral en el ámbito penitenciario y en el contexto socio-comunitario. Se realiza un análisis crítico del tema en la realidad cubana, tanto desde el punto de vista normativo como desde la constatación de sus problemáticas prácticas, resultados que avalan la relevancia, actualidad y pertinencia de la investigación, para cuyo desarrollo se combinaron los postulados teóricos con la investigación empírica.
Barcelona postolímpica en el cine
Authors: Antoniazzi Sara
Published: March 2021

El artículo analiza a través de una selección de películas cómo el cine ha retratado la Barcelona postolímpica. Se distinguen a grandes rasgos dos maneras básicas de representar cinematográficamente la capital catalana: la primera muestra una Barcelona idealizada, análoga a la que se vende a los turistas, contribuyendo así, de forma más o menos voluntaria, a reforzar y promocionar tanto el modelo Barcelona de transformación urbana como la marca Barcelona; la segunda ofrece una mirada más crítica sobre la ciudad, centrándose en algunos de los problemas que la afectan (especulación, gentrificación, desigualdades sociales, exclusión y explotación de los inmigrantes) y retratando la existencia de los que viven en el margen de la Barcelona turística. Partiendo de esta distinción, se analizan Todo sobre mi madre (1999) de Pedro Almodóvar, L’auberge espagnole (2002) de Cédric Klapisch y Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008) de Woody Allen para ilustrar la primera modalidad de representación, y En construcción (2001) de José Luis Guerín y Biutiful (2010) de Alejandro González Iñárritu para ejemplificar la segunda.

Este ensayo expone una nueva teoría mediante la cual puede deducirse el futuro del teatro en España si lo analizamos como si fuera un edificio construido hace muchos años. Si investigamos todas sus partes, tanto estructurales como no estructurales, examinando el estado actual de sus elementos, podremos predecir si resistirá el impacto de una grave crisis económica y social. Esto se realiza a través del análisis de las consecuencias socioculturales y psicológicas de la banalización del formato, así como del estudio de la relación entre la economía y la implantación del teatro no socialmente óptimo. Además, se aporta un análisis del estado actual de la crítica teatral, como elemento importante de lastre del teatro.
Breaking the Rules: Zodwa Wabantu and Postfeminism in South Africa
Authors: Boshoff Priscilla
Published: March 2021

Zodwa Wabantu, a South African celebrity recently made popular by the Daily Sun, a local tabloid newspaper, is notorious as an older working-class woman who fearlessly challenges social norms of feminine respectability and beauty. Her assertion of sexual autonomy and her forays into self-surveillance and body-modification, mediated by the Daily Sun and other tabloid and social media platforms, could be read as a local iteration of a global postfeminist subjectivity. However, the widespread social opprobrium she faces must be accounted for: Using Connell’s model of the gender order together with a coloniality frame, I argue that northern critiques of postfeminism omit to consider the forms of patriarchy established by colonialism in southern locales such as South Africa. The local patriarchal gender order, made visible within the tabloid reportage, provides the context within which the meaning of Zodwa Wabanu’s contemporary postfeminist identity is constructed. I examine a range of Zodwa Wabantu’s (self)representations in Daily Sun and other digital media in the light of this context, and conclude that a close examination of the local gender order assists in understanding the limits of postfeminism’s hegemony.
Gender, Voice and Online Space: Expressions of Feminism on Social Media in Spain
Authors: Willem Cilia , Tortajada Iolanda
Published: March 2021

Feminism’s current momentum, encouraged by movements such as #NiUnaMenos or #MeToo, has caused many social media agents to adopt some degree of feminism as a part of their online image or personal brand. ‘Being a feminist,’ for some, has become a marketing strategy in times of great polarisation between progressive forces and a reactionary backlash against feminism. The appropriation of feminism by the global market challenges public opinion, media, and academia to think and rethink feminism, and to consider whether these changes have voided it of political meaning (Banet-Weiser, 2012, 2018; Gill, 2016b). In Spain, the (extreme) right is continually launching attacks against feminism. At the same time, minority collectives such as LGBTQ+ or Roma are helping to spread feminist values into the mainstream, denouncing one of its main struggles: structural and intersectional violence against women, including online hate and harassment. In this context of confrontation, social media agents are keeping the debate about feminism alive and are picking up Spanish grassroots movements’ claims (Araüna, Tortajada, & Willem, in press). In this article we outline the latest trends in feminist media research in Spain, examining 20+ years of postfeminism as an analytical tool, and highlighting new trends. Through recent research results, we show that in the Spanish (social) media landscape many different strands of feminism are entangled, all struggling to impose their narrative of what feminism looks like in the post-#MeToo era. We will examine the main fault lines along which feminism is divided into different undercurrents, some of which are fostering the progress of feminism, and some of which are undermining it: age (generation), class, race, and sexual identity.
Casting for Change: Tracing Gender in Discussions of Casting through Feminist Media Ethnography
Authors: Hermes Joke , Kopitz Linda
Published: March 2021

The moment of casting is a crucial one in any media production. Casting the ‘right’ person shapes the narrative as much as the way in which the final product might be received by critics and audiences. For this article, casting—as the moment in which gender is hypervisible in its complex intersectional entanglement with class, race and sexuality—will be our gateway to exploring the dynamics of discussion of gender conventions and how we, as feminist scholars, might manoeuvre. To do so, we will test and triangulate three different forms of ethnographically inspired inquiry: 1) ‘collaborative auto-ethnography,’ to discuss male-to-female gender-bending comedies from the 1980s and 1990s, 2) ‘netnography’ of online discussions about the (potential) recasting of gendered legacy roles from Doctor Who to Mary Poppins, and 3) textual media analysis of content focusing on the casting of cisgender actors for transgender roles. Exploring the affordances and challenges of these three methods underlines the duty of care that is essential to feminist audience research. Moving across personal and anonymous, ‘real’ and ‘virtual,’ popular and professional discussion highlights how gender has been used and continues to be instrumentalised in lived audience experience and in audience research.
SOCIO-POLITICAL AND HISTORICAL CONDITIONS OF FORMATION OF THE IDEA OF CONSTITUTIONAL ROYALISM IN ENGLAND IN THE 17th CENTURY
Authors: Ivchenko O.
Published: March 2021

The article is dedicated to the study of such a direction of political thought of the English Revolution of the 17th century as the constitutional royalism. This ideological direction has not been the subject of research by historians, who have focused mainly on the analysis of the ideas of supporters of Parliament. But the theory of constitutional royalism underlies the modern political system of Great Britain. This fact determines the relevance of this study. The term "constitutional royalism", first proposed by the English historian David Smith, characterizes a group of royalists who submited the idea of the king's rule in Parliament, or the idea of "mixed monarchy". The article aims to consider the historical context of the formation of the theory of constitutional royalism. The article describes the socio-political and ideological conditions that helped to form this area of political thought.

The author concludes that the idea of constitutional royalism could have arisen and received its further development only in connection with the conditions prevailing in England in the 17th century. The new ruler James I wanted to strengthen the power of the monarch and make it absolute. The king and Parliament argued over the issue of the royal prerogative, namely the extraordinary rights of the monarch. James I sought to increase this prerogative, and Parliament wanted to limit it. Over time, there is a group of constitutional royalists – those who advocated the reign of the king in Parliament. Proponents of this idea believed that the monarch should retain all power, but Parliament at the same time performs advisory functions and helps the king to rule the state.

Appearing during the English Revolution of the 17th century, the idea of constitutional royalism influenced on the political life of England and contributed to the formation of its modern state of affairs.
MIGRATION FROM HUNGARY TO AMERICA IN THE LATE 19TH – EARLY 20TH CENTURY (BASED ON THE MATERIALS OF THE "COLLECTION OF CONSULAR REPORTS")
Authors: Malatsai I.
Published: March 2021

The article is devoted to the study of the problem of migration processes in the late 19th – early 20th centuries from the territory of Austria-Hungary to America. Demand for workers in the United States, which has been active since the mid-19th century and exacerbation of socio-economic contradictions in Austria-Hungary in the second half of the 19th century, caused the intensification of migration flows between the two continents. Among the emigrants were all the nations who inhabited the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. But the population of the north-eastern regions of the country prevailed. At first there were Slovaks and Ukrainians. They traveled to improve their lives and the lives of their families. Low living standards due to economic backwardness, slow growth of production, lack of new technologies in agriculture only increased the flow of migrants. Lack of land suitable for agriculture, low wages also contributed to travel abroad. There were two main categories, workers, who returned home at the end of the working season, and it was mostly part of spring, summer and autumn, and the next year they went again to search some work. The second category – those who left and never returned. In the following years, some immigrants, Slovaks and Ukrainians, formed community centers, which played an important role in the formation of independent states. At the turn of the 19th – 20th centuries. There was the migration process between the United States and Austria-Hungary took place. The main routes of the continents passed through the ports of Hamburg and Bremen. The diplomacy of the Russian Empire paid much attention to the issue of migration. The interest was due to a desire to understand more about a country that was a political opponent of Russia in European politics. The work is written on the basis of diplomatic reports published in the "Collection of diplomatic reports" in the late 19th – early 20th century. The used materials provide an opportunity to study the process of resettlement of the nations of Hungary to America from the standpoint of Russian diplomacy in the late 19th – early 20th century.
SOCIAL AND POLITICAL VIEWS OF OSYP HERMAIZE
Authors: Mohylnyi L.
Published: March 2021

In the late 19th – early 20th century intelligentsia of various ethnic origins in Ukraine formed the idea of the importance of personal contribution to the development of scientific, cultural and educational potential of the peoples in the Russian Empire. Leading figures of Ukrainophile community called on talented intellectuals to contribute to the development of education and science in Ukraine. Osyp Hermaize was one of those who responded to this unofficial call.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the social and political beliefs of O. Hermaize as one of the active representatives of the intelligentsia of Kyiv in the first third of the 20th century. In the research, the method of historicism, objectivity and science has been used. The scientific novelty is that the article is the first attempt to investigate the social and political views of the famous historian of the 1920’s O. Hermaize.

The social and political views of the scientist determined his deep interest in Ukrainian studies. His cultural and educational work began immediately after graduation from the Faculty of History and Philology of Kyiv University when he joined the local community of Ukrainians. The February Revolution of 1917 radically changed the life of the scientist.

The scientist devoted a significant part of his life to cultural and educational activities, including work at Kyiv “Prosvita”, the Ukrainian Scientific Society named after Taras Shevchenko, the Kyiv Labour School, organization of the research on the history of RUP and other Ukrainian parties at All-Ukrainian Academy of Ukrainian sciences.

The study of social and political views of O. Hermaize allowed us to identify three main stages in the formation of his beliefs: 1) the 1916-1917 determined his interest in Ukrainian studies; 2) the 1918-1924 put forward an educational factor in his public activities, and 3) during the 1924-1929 both pedagogical and scientific work came forward.
ANATOMY OF EMOTIONS AND FEELINGS IN THE BOETHIUS’ "DE CONSOLATIONE PHILOSOPHIAE"
Authors: Morozova A.
Published: March 2021

The article analyses a number of the locations of emotions and related to them emotional words and feelings using the philosophical text of Boethius, a prominent philosopher and translator of Late Antiquity, "De consolatione philosophiae". The declared work has a significant informative potential in relation to the emotional sphere, due to the circumstances of its creation, accompanied by a significant number of emotional reflections made by Boethius, and the chosen genre (the combination of consolatio and protreptics). The ancient emotional tradition left its mark on the Boethius' perception of emotional locations, directing it to the non-monocentric localisation of feelings in different parts of the human physical, spiritual and mental system. The main seats of the emotions are: mind (mens), animus, soul (anima), heart (cor), body (corpus). Among the above-mentioned emotional localisations, the dominant role is played by the mind (mens) both in quantitative (10) and semantic indicators. In the Boethius's worldview, the mind is associated, firstly, with the philosopher's mental health, his ability to maintain calm behaviour in the face of life's disasters, and, secondly, with the concept of the similarity of the human beings to God by their minds. There are both negative (passionate desire, hope, joy, anger, etc.) and positive (joy of heaven, desire for good) feelings in the mind. The second most important emotional location is animus (7), in which the central positive feelings (love and positive hope) are inspired, meeting only in pair with animus. We hypothesise that the latter is perceived by Boethius as an analogue of the Platonic and Christian "soul", the leading centre of spiritual human potentials. Similarly, positive and negative (anger, sorrow, passions, etc.) emotions arise and influence it. The last two locations indicate the physical nature of human – body and heart – and concentrate only on negative emotions – pleasure and passionate desire. Conclusions are made that most emotions have the external nature in relation to men, which correlates to the Stoic emotional tradition.
SOCIAL AND HISTORICAL PROBLEMATIQUE IN THE SOVIET ARCHAEOLOGY IN THE 1940’s – 1960’s: FROM THE MAIN GOALS TO PRACTICAL REALIZATION
Authors: Paliienko S.
Published: March 2021

The article is dedicated to the main aim of the Soviet archaeology, which was also its feature – to study social development of ancient societies basing on archaeological sources. It was stated at the beginning of 1930s and after the WW2 a list of actual tasks was specified. In the late 1940’s – the early 1970’s they included studying of regularities and features of ancient (from primitive to feudal) societies development, reconstruction of concrete history of folks from the USSR territory, which had no written language, researches on handicrafts, swap and trade, studies of the mediaeval village history, examination of primitive society ideology, improvement of the typological method and archaeological theory, preparation of fundamental publications.

All these tasks were practically realized in work of archaeological research institutions during above mentioned period, in particular, research fellows of central and republican archaeological research establishments worked on topics related to study of social and historical problems of ancient societies basing on archaeological data. As well these problems were discussed at methodological workshops of the Institute of archaeology AS USSR and its Leningrad branch, at All-Union meetings and conferences. Soviet archaeologists completed resumptive archaeological publications with historical conclusions and chapters or even separate volumes of fundamental books dedicated to history of particular folks, regions or periods in the 1950’s – the early 1970’s.

This work on social and historical problematique determined Soviet archaeologists’ requirement for methodology development which was a cause of appearance of a new subdiscipline. The Soviet theoretical archaeology institutionalized in the early 1970s.
Impact of the business mindset on student perceptions of the non-compete agreement
Authors: Reams Lester C.
Published: March 2021

One of the major tasks of the Business Law course is the acquisition and right application of legal concepts by business and public administration students. This article makes an insight into the inconsistency exposed through surveying the students' opinions on non-compete agreements. The study bases on the hypothesis that the business mindset which dominates American society influences the students' perception of this legal concept. Pursuing the aim to unveil the cognitive factors influencing the students' perception, the author traces the formation and historical dynamics of the concept of business mindset in the US, and its influence on popular attitudes to legal concepts resulting in the positive perception of non-compete agreement. Contributing to such positive perception was creation of a delusional myth compensating for the harsh reality of capitalism and euphemizing the words ‘capitalism’ and ‘capitalist’. The author offers actions to address students’ perception, in order to bring their subjective views and attitudes in compliance with legal reality and scientific worldview.
Actual issues of cooperation between Ukraine and International Organizations on Development and Implementation of Regional Policy
Authors: Tkachenko Igor , Tkachenko Victoriia
Published: March 2021

The aim of the article is to research the modern practices of Ukrainian state cooperation with international organizations in the sphere of development and implementation of the regional policy for discovery of types of those interactions under the decentralization reform.
Albeit the huge number of publications on the current problems of implementation of regional policy and decentralization reform, the most biggest part of authors understand cooperation between Ukraine and international organizations on regional policy as cross-border cooperation and cooperation of bordering communities of Ukraine and EU member-states. Base on the open data analysis of the state authorities of Ukraine authors provide conclusions that the sufficient part of the financial support provided by EU for assisting Ukraine in development and implementation of the state regional policy is equal or bigger than the amount of state support provided for implementation of the cross-border cooperation projects.
Authors reviewed significant empirical material and practices of interactions on support for Ukrainian regional development between Ukraine and such international organizations as European Union (EU), Council of Europe (CoE), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OSCD), German Society of International Cooperation (GIZ), US Agency for International Development (USAID). Article proposes summarizing of modern trends in the sphere of development and implementation of the state regional policy. The Authors underlined a format of those interactions and proposed ways for increasing of cooperation with international organizations through the improvement of legal, institutional, organizational and methodological capabilities of the public management of regional development policy.
Practical aim of this publication is development and implementation of scientifically based approach for increasing efficiency of Ukraine’s cooperation with international organizations in the sphere of development of regional policy. Based in the analysis of implementation of technical assistance projects and programs authors provided their proposals for increasing their efficiency. In addition, recommendations are given to the state authorities on the consequence of project’s results and objectives with a new State strategy on regional development for 2021-2027.

Published: March 2021

The study is aimed at investigating the possibility of using machine learning methods to build models for predicting the probability of purchase and the amount of purchase by online store customers. As a sample, we used data of users transactions of the site ponpare.jp in the period from 01.07.2011 to 23.06.2012. The description and comparative analysis of the most common methods for solving similar problems are given. The metrics used to measure the results in the case of forecasting the fact and amount of the purchase are being described. The results obtained make it clear that within the framework of the problem of predicting the probability of a purchase, gradient boosting, namely its implementation of LGBMClassifier, shows the most accurate estimate. For the problem of predicting the amount of a customer’s purchase, using gradient boosting also gave the best results.
Numerical bifurcation analysis for a prey-predator type interactions with a time lag and habitat complexity
Authors: GÖKÇE Aytül
Published: March 2021

In this paper, a two-component generic prey-predator system incorporated with habitat complexity in predator functional response, and with constant time delay in predator gestation is considered. Although the role of time delay on the system dynamics is widely studied in the literature, only a few researchers have addressed the effect of habitat complexity in the prey-predator type interactions. In the first part of the paper the equilibria and stability analysis of the mathematical model is mentioned. In the second part, particular attention is paid on the numerical bifurcation analysis of the prey and predator densities based on two system parameters:(i) the strength of homogeneous habitat complexity and (ii) predator attack rate with and without time delay. It is found that dynamics with time delay in predator gestation are found to be much richer compared to that without time delay. The system stability may change from stable to unstable through a Hopf bifurcation and the solution branches emanating from these Hopf points are usually stable and supercritical. However, delay driven system may lead unstable orbits arising from Hopf bifurcations. It is also found that increasing the strength of habitat complexity may lead the stability change from unstable to stable.
El "Padrenuestro pequeñín" y otros ensalmos, dichos y oraciones. Consideraciones sobre la pervivencia de la tradición oral leonesa en algunas encuestas recientes = “Padrenuestro pequeñin” and other Incantations, Sayings and Prayers. Considerations on the Survival of the Leonese oral Tradition in some recent Surveys
Authors: Álvarez Cárcamo David
Published: March 2021

ResumenNormalmente una misma tradición oral se manifiesta de distintas formas, las variantes, algunas de las cuales han sido poco estudiadas por los investigadores. Sin embargo, debe atenderse a estas composiciones porque mantienen elementos que sirven para abrir caminos en el análisis de los cauces y del funcionamiento de la transmisión de la tradición oral en distintas áreas geográficas. A su vez, en muchas de estas creaciones literarias perviven elementos lingüísticos perdidos ya en el habla común de los transmisores, elementos que pueden contribuir a completar diferentes mapas de isoglosas. En este artículo se ejemplifican ambas líneas de investigación con muestras de varios tipos de literatura oral, pero se fija la atención especialmente en una colección de versiones inéditas de la oración titulada Padrenuestro pequeñín.AbstractNormally the same oral tradition reveals itself in different ways, the variations, some of which have barely been studied by field researchers. However, we must take these compositions into account because they keep helpful elements to open new paths for the analysis of the procedures and transmission of the oral tradition in different geographical areas. At the same time, in many of these literary creations, some linguistic elements that are already lost in the common speech of the transmitters still remain: these afore-mentioned elements may contribute to complete different maps of isoglosses. This article shows examples of both research lines, with certain samples of different types of oral literature, though focused primarily on a collection of previously unpublished versions of the prayer called “Padrenuestro pequeñin”.
