The Way of Gambling: Sources of Government Revenue or Disaster of The Public Sector
Authors: Somchai Saenphumi Worachet Tho-un,
Published: February 2021

This article would like to reflect the history of the Thai gambling industry. The nature of gambling that is hidden in tradition, opinion of Thai society towards gambling. Moreover, the effects of gambling that the state allows and does not allow through literature, law, Buddhist principles, the King's philosophy and the theoretical concept of gambling, and the theoretical concept of gambling.

The results of the synthesis of the data showed that gambling has been in conjunction with Thai society for a long time. The context and process of gambling in Thai society can take many forms. It will depend on the context of the environment, the law, and the government, etc. Their views and attitudes towards gambling can be divided into two groups: the one that sees gambling as a pleasure. It has created a social space to legitimize gambling in various forms, such as gambling for gambling. The hidden gambling tradition gambling of the types permitted and prohibited by the government, etc. Furthermore, the second group viewed gambling as a danger to society. It is a terrible thing that the state must restrict it from society. This concept is primarily connected and related to religious and legal principles.

From the information found, I believe that gambling is a huge source of income for the government, even though the state knows that it is mescaline. But cannot cancel the business, that is, the deadly poison or the public's silent threat that is submitted to the government.

Published: February 2021

This research article aims to study, analyze, and develop community capacity to empower communities and prevent social problems in Nakhonpathom province. This work is qualitative research and uses documentary research to create training prototypes and focus groups among sample groups or key informants. This is a group of volunteers' spirits, Phutthamonthon, Nakhonchaisri Samphran district totaling 34 people to be aware of the community's problems.

The study results showed that the training model obtained from the document's synthesis and processing consisted of the volunteer concept, The King's philosophy, the concept of community empowerment. After that, the focus groups found that the volunteer spirit group in the Phutthamonthon district voted that the garbage problem was the biggest, consistent with the volunteer spirit in Samphran district. Both groups propose a waste separation campaign, support equipment from government agencies, educators. In contrast, the Nakhonchaisri district volunteer spirit group resolved that the problem of invasion of the Tha-chin river was the most important. Moreover, proposed state legislation to create a group to negotiate seriously with the government and put pressure on those who transgress the river, including the media as a tool of pressure. Finally, by training the model with a volunteer group, they will understand the problems in their communities and formulate groups to solve problems in the community through volunteer activities.

READING INTO ONE’S SELF IN THE BERPETUALANG KE ACEH TRILOGY
Authors: Veeramuthu Saravanan P.
Published: February 2021

This research examines Radzi Sapiee’s travelogue in the form of a trilogy, which documents his travel experience as a writer. The study aims to review the success of the trilogy in discussing postcolonial discourse, and its search of identity This study employs the research framework by Thompson, who divided travel writing into two sections namely touristic travel and exploration travel, to analyse Radzi Sapiee’s quest, to find himself through a spiritual journey, which led to self- awareness causing existential changes. As such, Thompson’s search of identity and the others (2011) will be the main framework of this research to be applied to the Radzi Sapiee’s travelogue trilogy comprising of three books - Mencari Diri dan Erti, Menjejak Salasilah Kesultanan yang Hilang (2015), Menelusuri Jejak Leluhur (2016) and Membela Syair Kesultanan Aceh (2018). This study seeks to determine whether the writer had consciously sought this experience, or if he was just seeking to validate his instincts. The analysis of the data is divided into three sections following Thompson’s framework: exploitation and the others, hegemony of the mind, and effect on the others. The study found that this travelogue injects new life and provides a source of motivation and pride to the people of the Malay Archipelago who had long been considered as inferior to the western power. Radzi Sapiee has utilised literature as a cultural weapon to instil awareness and nurture pride in a heritage that had long been forgotten. The writer also uses literature as a medium to redeem the dignity and cultural legacy, as well as an identity which had been suppressed for a long time, by colonialism. In a wider context, this writing represents an effort to deconstruct and reconstruct a culture, and an individual in the culture.

This needs analysis used survey as its research design and data were then analysed through quantitative approach. The study sample consisted of 40 Arabic language lecturers who teach Arabic II (Two) courses at UiTM in all branch campuses of Malaysia. The study also used a set of questionnaires as research instrument. Before the actual questionnaire was administered to the students, the researcher had consulted insights from 3 referral experts in the field related. The data obtained were analysed by using descriptive statistics in which mean score and standard deviation are generated followed by interpretations of the score. The data were analysed based on 6 constructs: (1) Arabic Language Interactive Learning in the classroom, (2) Interactivity in Arabic Classroom Vocabulary Learning, (3) The Need of Multimedia Software Technology in Interactive Learning, (4) The Need of Skills in Interactive Learning of Arabic language, (5) Proposed Learning Activities based on Multimedia Software Technology in Interactive Learning of Arabic Language and (6) Proposed Forms of Assessment in Interactive Learning of Arabic Language. The findings of the study showed highly positive response from the Arabic Language lecturers towards the 6 constructs listed in the questionnaire. The findings of this needs analysis phase can further solidify the elements that should be included in the designing and constructing of the i - Aqran Module. Needs analysis is an inevitable part or process in designing and building a module (Aliza & Zamri, 2015).
The Mexican albur in ethnopragmatic perspective
Authors: Tomczak-Boczko Justyna
Published: February 2021

The article aims to provide a semantic explication of the Mexican albur, a fight of words, and the discursive practices that it involves. Albur is described here as a cultural phenomenon, a social practice, a speech act, and a linguistic behaviour. Traditional theories of humour are considered inadequate for its description (they are characterised by a multiplicity of categories, vague criteria, and excessive descriptiveness). The author proposes to use the ethnopragmatic approach, with its cultural scripts, i.e. cultural norms, attitudes and background knowledge, common to a given community and reflected in language.
The feasts of “Stado” and “Kupala Night” in the rituals of the Polish Rodnovers. A revival of ethnographic sources
Authors: Grochowski Piotr
Published: February 2021

It is argued in this study that contemporary Rodnovers (practitioners of Slavic Native Faith, or Rodnovery) revive ethnographic and historical sources by applying two strategies: (re)construction of pre-Christian Slavic rituals and (re)paganisation of 19th-c. folk rituals. It is a new kind of practice: source materials are not modified for the purpose of presentation to receipients from “outside” (as is the case with folklore and historical reconstruction) but function as the basic substrate of religious customs and beliefs, practiced by Rodnovers themselves. Despite appearances, this is not a continuation of folk tradition but a new religious phenomenon, whose major actors use ethnography and folk content in a creative and unorthodox manner.
Following in the footsteps of Yakov Malkiel: Text-based etymology, context-situated text
Authors: Łozowski Przemysław
Published: February 2021

A critical appraisal is attempted of the three structurally-designated theses that are typically voiced in relation to what etymology is and what it consists in: (i) etymology is diachronic in scope, (ii) etymology involves the reconstruction of proto-forms and proto-senses, and (iii) etymology is based on the earliest possible attestations. The examination is guided and motivated by Yakov Malkiel's etymological research as well as by selected studies of the Lublin-based cognitive ethnolinguists. It is, then, concluded that etymological investigations are more likely to be productive and successful if (i) the temporal perspective employed is that of panchrony, not of the diachrony-synchrony distinction, (ii) the reconstruction aims at identifying ways of cross-generational conceptualisation (mentalities), rather than original forms, and (iii) the examination includes the whole of the historical spectrum of attestations, not just earliest records. This all leads to a full appreciation of the kind of etymology that feeds on texts, not words or lexemes, and on cognitive and experiential contexts, not on purely linguistic abstractions.
Work Motivation Profiles and Work Performance in a Group of Corporate Employees: A Two-Step Cluster Analysis
Authors: Basińska Beata A.
Published: February 2021

Few studies have applied a person-centered approach to work motivation using cluster or profile analyses. Thus, little is known about which configurations of work motivations characterize professionals. The aim of this study is to establish the structure of work motivation profiles under the framework of self-determination theory and to examine the relationship between work motivation and subjective work performance. The study involved 147 corporate employees who completed the Multidimensional Work Motivation Scale and self-rated their work performance. The two-step cluster analysis was applied, followed by a one-way ANOVA and a post-hoc Bonferroni test. The findings revealed differences between the five profiles for all forms of motivational regulation on the self-determination continuum (large effect sizes). Further examination revealed that the employees’ current work performances differed across motivational profiles (medium effect size). Strongly and poorly motivated as well as autonomously motivated employees reported better subjective work performance compared to unmotivated individuals. In line with self-determination theory, the quantity and shape of motivation can be simultaneously considered in terms of both theoretical and practical implementation.

Serum albumin protein plays a key role in the transportation and distribution of bioactive species including metal ions and metal-based drugs and, therefore, the nature of their binding could provide important insight for the development of new drugs. In the present investigation, binding interactions of bovine serum albumin (BSA) with three biologically important metal ions: Pt4+, Ir3+ and Fe2+ were screened using easy-to-use and cost-effective Fourier-Transform Infrared (FT-IR) and Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopic techniques. Prior to the screening, the protein and metal ions were allowed to interact at physiological pH (7.4) and the spectral changes were monitored upon interaction. In FT-IR spectrum, the position of amide I band (C=O stretching) was shifted from 1652 cm–1 in case of free BSA to 1659, 1657 and 1656 cm–1 in BSA-Pt4+, BSA-Ir3+ and BSA-Fe2+ complexes, respectively. This spectral shifting was due to the binding of metal ions to N and O atoms of BSA peptide bonds. The interaction was further demonstrated by a remarkable reduction in spectral intensities of amide I and II bands. Secondary protein structure analysis revealed conformational changes characterized by a substantial decrease in α-helix (11.29–27.41%) accompanied by an increase in β-sheet and β-antiparallel contents. The absorption of BSA at a constant concentration at 280 nm was successively reduced as the concentration of Pt4+ and Ir3+ ions increased. On the other hand, the absorption of BSA-Fe2+ complex successively increased with the increase in the concentration of Fe2+ in the test solution. The binding constants for BSA-Pt4+, BSA-Ir3+ and BSA-Fe2+ complexes were calculated to be 1.55×104, 5.67×104 and 3.78×104 M-1, respectively. The results revealed that the three metal ions showed binding affinities with the BSA protein in the order: Ir3+>Fe2+>Pt4+.
Magnetic Oil Sorbents based on Technogenic and Natural Inorganic Materials
Authors: Peregudov Yu.S.
Published: February 2021

The results of the study of the fractional composition, physicochemical and sorption characteristics of technological calcium carbonate and glauconite are presented. It is shown that the fraction of technological chalk with a particle size of more than 0.125 mm absorbs the greatest amount of oil and gasoline. The oil is better absorbed by the fraction of chalk with a particle size of 0.1–0.25 mm. For glauconite, oil sorption increases with decreasing particle size. The complete absorption of oil on the solid surface by the glauconite sorbent occurred within 2 min and about 10 min by the carbonate sorbent; the recovery rates were 99% and 90%, respectively. The best results in terms of the degree of water purification from oil were shown by a carbonate sorbent with a particle size of more than 0.125 mm – 83 % and glauconite with a particle size of 0.045–0.1 mm – 90% with an oil film thickness of 0.5 mm. The degree of water purification from oil was 80 % for the carbonate sorbent and 93 % for the glauconite one with an oil film thickness of 0.5 mm. With an increase in the thickness of the oil and oil films, the degree of water purification decreases.

Published: February 2021

Based on the analysis of official statistics from the Voronezh Hydrometeorological Service, the patterns of the dynamics of pollutants (formaldehyde and soot) are investigated depending on the combination of various meteorological parameters — air temperature, wind speed, relative air humidity. A positive relationship has been established between the increase in atmospheric pollution with formaldehyde and air temperature. With increasing wind speed and relative humidity, the concentration of formaldehyde and soot in the atmosphere of the city, as a rule, decrease. The maximum permissible level of carcinogenic risk to public health has been established, causing concern. The obtained patterns can be used to predict the level of technogenic pollution of the city’s atmosphere, depending on meteorological conditions.
Взаимодействие средств массовой информации и общества: анализ информационных повесток дня
Authors: Каминченко Дмитрий Игоревич
Published: February 2021

Цифровизация современного общества оказывает существенное воздействие на его публичное пространство, структурированное основными содержательно-смысловыми компонентами информационных повесток дня, важную роль в функционировании которого играют СМИ и современные социальные медиа. Несмотря на то, что данной теме уделено немало внимания как российских, так и зарубежных ученых, соотношение содержания повесток дня СМИ и социальных медиа изучено недостаточно. В связи с этим автором проведен сравнительный анализ информационных повесток разных СМИ и социальных медиа. Результаты исследования согласуются с существующим тезисом о дифференциации современного публичного пространства. Складывающиеся в нем коммуникативные и содержательно-смысловые поля характеризуются отличными друг от друга нарративами, при этом отмечено тематическое совпадение между содержанием новостной повестки дня телевизионного канала и повесткой дня современных социальных медиа. Установленные в ходе анализа показатели коэффициента сопряженности между информационными повестками дня СМИ и социальных медиа говорят об особенностях процесса установления медийной повестки дня и участия в нем различных политических и общественных акторов.
Образ революционной Каталонии в публицистике Джорджа Оруэлла (статья третья)
Authors: Короченский Александр Петрович
Published: February 2021

В данном исследовании автор продолжает ряд статей, в которых представлен анализ образа революционной Каталонии, созданного непосредственным участником испанских событий 1936–1937 гг. Дж. Оруэллом  в его публицистических работах, посвящённых борьбе против сил франкизма, за преобразование общества. Воспроизведены и проанализированы представленные Оруэллом образные публицистические картины положения в Барселоне в период подавления сталинистами политических «попутчиков» в ходе столкновений мая 1937 г. и последующих событий, приведших к падению Республики. Выявлены доминантные характеристики оруэлловского образа революционной Каталонии на историческом переломе. Компаративный подход помог определить отличия публицистической картины каталонских событий с их трактовками в работах современников Оруэлла и последующих исследователей. Сделан вывод о том, что публицистика Оруэлла внесла неоценимый вклад в преодоление исторической мифологии относительно гражданской войны в Испании. Автор отметил, что на фоне предпринимаемых ныне попыток обосновать «новый социализм XXI века» оруэлловские работы способствуют развитию дискуссии о сущности социалистического общественного идеала, его переосмыслении и освобождении от многочисленных идеологических наслоений, порождённых в своё время догматическим «марксизмом-ленинизмом» сталинистского образца и прочими левыми теориями, весьма удаленными от социалистического идеала.

Published: February 2021

Изучение универсального концепта «война» сквозь призму сознания писателя может способствовать пониманию принципов взаимоотношений между людьми в современном мире, и того, что в нем должно быть приоритетом, а также позволяет определить способы формирования нравственных ценностей посредством авторского слова и художественных образов. Несмотря на многочисленные исследования индивидуально-авторского концепта дискуссионными остаются вопросы о возможностях его структурирования с последующим выявлением своеобразия авторского стиля. Неоднозначность подходов к способам языковой и речевой репрезентации художественных концептов определила цель настоящей работы как моделирование системы художественных образов войны, отражающих особенности идиостиля французского писателя и его отношение к исследуемому социальному явлению. В процессе семантико-когнитивного и контекстуального анализа выявлены основные образные признаки концепта, представленные в произведениях Мориса Дрюона. Авторы отмечают, что индивидуальный ракурс концепт приобретает на уровне его языковой и контекстуальной репрезентации, что обусловлено мировоззрением писателя. Результаты исследования значимы с точки зрения овладения выразительными средствами французского языка для их использования в межкультурной коммуникации при выражении конкретной мировоззренческой позиции.

Authors: Shahtaheri Rahil Sadat , Nikfar Shekoufeh , Khorasani Elahe , Sabbagh-Baniazad Mansoureh , Goudarzi Zahra , Emamikhah Maziar
Published: February 2021

Background: Although widely used, first-line injectable medicines for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) remain an issue of efficacy and adherence. Recently, new oral medications for MS have contributed to dramatic improvements in MS treatment. This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of oral disease-modifying drugs (DMDs) used in relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS).
Methods: A systematic review was conducted on related databases including PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane, and Web of Science up to April 2020. The screening of the studies and their quality assessment was carried out independently by the two authors.
Results: Three studies fulfilled the predefined criteria of inclusion. One of them compared teriflonomide with subcutaneous interferon beta-1a (IFN β-1a), another compared oral fingolimod with intramuscular (IM) IFN β-1b, and the third article compared oral fingolimod with IM IFN β-1a. No eligible study was found for dimethyl fumarate (DMF). The results indicated that while the efficacy of fingolimod was more than IFN β (IM β-1a and β-1b), teriflunomide 7 mg had less efficacy than subcutaneous IFN β-1a. Regarding safety, the results indicated that the proportion of diabetic patients with adverse events (AEs) in the fingolimod group was higher than in the IFN β-1b group and the overall occurrence of AEs was similar between teriflunomide and IFN β-1a groups.
Conclusion: There is evidence for the effectiveness of fingolimod in reducing annualized relapse rates (ARRs) and improving magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, but the evidence does not support the effectiveness of teriflunomide and further studies are required to determine its efficacy. Also, fingolimod is associated with more side effects than IFN β-1b, but there is no evidence to suggest any difference in side effects between teriflunomide and IFN β-1a.

Authors: Emami Arjomand Mansoureh , Hoorizad Ganjkar Maryam , Ghamari Roshanak
Published: February 2021

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the effect of tea on color stability of enamel lesions treated with resin infiltrant (RI).
Materials and Methods: This in vitro, experimental study evaluated 30 extracted human third molars with no caries, cracks, or enamel defects. Enamel-dentin samples measuring 5 x 5 x 3 mm were prepared from the buccal surfaces of the teeth by a microtome. The samples were divided into three groups of 10 namely sound enamel, demineralized enamel, and demineralized enamel plus RI. White spot lesions (WSLs) were artificially created by immersing the samples in hydroxyethyl cellulose demineralizing gel with a pH of 4.5 for 4 days. Next, Icon RI was applied on the samples in group 3. The baseline color of the samples was measured using a spectrophotometer. They were immersed in tea solution 3 times a day, each time for 15 min, for a period of 2 weeks and then underwent colorimetry again. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA.
Results: The maximum color change (∆E) was noted in demineralized enamel plus RI group (38.59±6.13) with significant differences with sound enamel (20.00±2.94) and demineralized enamel (25.27±7.47) groups (P<0.05). The difference between the latter two groups was not significant (P>0.05).
Conclusion: Within the limitations of this in vitro study, the results showed that tea solution caused clinically unacceptable color change in all groups. However, the color stability of WSLs treated with RI was significantly lower than other groups following immersion in tea solution.

Authors: ALHAJALİ Obaida , ALİ-NİZAM Adnan
Published: February 2021

The detection qualitative of Phytochemical compounds of extracts was carried out using color reagents, total content of phenols and flavonoids was specified using folin– ciocalteu and aluminium chloride method, respectively, and antioxidant activity was determined through its ability to free radicals scavenging using DPPH radical. The efficacy of the plant extracts against pathogenic bacteria was studied by agar well diffusion method with different concentrations, and microdilution method was used to measure minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of all plant extracts. The results showed presence of tannins, phenols, and flavonoids in all extracts of both plants, while saponins were found in aqueous extracts only, cardiac glycosides and coumarins were absent in all plant extracts. Ethanolic extract of Pistacia atlantica recorded the highest content of phenols and flavonoids as 263.76 ± 0.53 (mg GAE/g Dw) and 46.83 ± 0.55 (mg RE/g Dw), respectively. While aqueous extract of Pinus canariensis recorded the lowest content of of phenols and flavonoids 30.11 ± 0.37 (mg GAE/g Dw) and 5.43 ± 0.38 (mg RE/g Dw), respectively. Both plants have been shown to have good antioxidant activity, as ethanolic extract of P. atlantica recorded the best ability to free radicals scavenging 90.27% ±1.51, ethanolic extracts of both plants were the most effective in inhibiting bacteria especially at high concentrations (500 mg/mL); the inhibition zone diameter of P. atlantica extract was reached against Shigella boydii 33.56 mm, while aqueous extract of P. canariensis was the most effective against Pseudomonas aeruginosa; the inhibition zone diameter was 21 mm. MIC ranged between 5.468 and 43.75 mg/mL depending on plant extract and bacterial species. This confirms the importance of plant extracts as a natural source of antibacterial to confront problems of increasing bacterial resistance to antibiotics that threaten public health.

Oldest Indo-Pacific Lionfish (Pterois volitans/P. miles) Recorded From the Northwestern Gulf of Mexico
Authors: Blakeway Raven , Fogg Alexander , Jones Glenn
Published: February 2021

Indo-Pacific lionfish (Pterois volitans/miles) were first detected off the coast of Florida in the 1980s, with aquaria release being the most likely mechanism for introduction. Since then, lionfish have proliferated through the Western Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and Gulf of Mexico (GOM). Here, we report the oldest lionfish aged on record in the Western Atlantic, removed from Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary (FGBNMS) in the GOM. In August 2018, a research expedition removed 745 lionfish from FGBNMS, of which a subset were retained for age and growth estimation. The oldest lionfish was a 10 y old male, with total length 375 mm and weight 805 g. The back-calculated birth date (2008) preceded the first observation of lionfish at FGBNMS by 3 years (2011). It is not well understood if lionfish are having negative impacts at FGBNMS, but this report signifies the importance of continued monitoring and removal efforts of this protected area.
Anthropogenic Sound in the Sea: Are Ascidians Affected?
Authors: White Kristine , Ambrosio Louis , Edwards Christa
Published: February 2021

Sound pollution in the marine environment has been increasing largely due to anthropogenic sources such as vessel traffic, coastal development, fossil fuel extraction, and military exercises. Studies determining the effects of anthropogenic sound on marine organisms have mostly focused on vertebrates, namely fish and marine mammals; however, less research has been done to study the effects of sound on marine invertebrates. The goal of this research is to examine the effect of anthropogenic sound on the ascidian Styela plicata (Lesueur, 1823) in Tampa Bay, FL. A total of 48 ascidians were collected from 2 sites with differing amounts of boat traffic and thus different anthropogenic soundscapes. Ascidians were individually exposed to 3 separate stimuli: a recording of a boat motor, a song recording, and a water current to simulate turbulence. Ascidian reactions were recorded as the frequency of siphon closing events and the length of time the siphons remained closed after disturbance. Ascidians from both sites increased the frequency and longevity of siphon closure events in response to anthropogenic stimuli but showed only a minor difference in response between sample sites. Research into the effect of anthropogenic sound on invertebrates such as ascidians and their symbionts may provide a better understanding of larger scale ecological impacts from such disturbances.
A Biosocial Perspective on the Relationship of Sexual Infidelity to Intimate Partner Violence Focusing on Socioeconomic Factors, Cohabiting Unions, and Children
Authors: Seffrin Patrick M. , Ingulli Patricia , Teeple Joseph
Published: February 2021

Data from the National Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health) were used to analyze relationships between sexual infidelity and intimate partner violence (IPV). A biosocial perspective was advanced and compared to criminological theories. General estimating equations, fit for repeated observations of binary outcomes, were used to estimate the impact on the odds of IPV changing between waves 3 and 4 of the data in response to changes in experiences with infidelity. Analyses suggest that socioeconomic factors of educational attainment and employment may serve as mitigating variables in the perpetration of IPV. Men were more likely to cheat, but less likely to perpetrate IPV when employed full-time. Women were more likely than men to report perpetrating IPV but were less likely to respond violently to infidelity as their educational attainment level increased. Cohabiting and children increased the risk of IPV for men and women and were not found to modify the link between infidelity and IPV for either sex. Findings were largely consistent with the expectations of a biosocial perspective but also offered mixed support for criminological theories.
On the Prospects of the EEU Development
Authors: Chufrin G.
Published: February 2021

The article explores the current state and development prospects of the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) which is functioning under conditions of a deep global economic crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic and dramatic fall of the world oil market. Besides these factors of a global character the EEU activities experience a serious negative impact of a number of regional problems and challenges – starting from a continuing regime of Western trade and economic sanctions and ending up with political intrigues carried out by some EEU member -states (Armenia, Byelorussia) under slogans of multipolarity which resulted in a crisis of their domestic and foreign policies and also seriously undermined their participation in the EEU economic activities.
Moldova: Political Situation in Connection with the Presidential Elections – 2020
Authors: Astakhova S.
Published: February 2021

The presidential elections held in November 2020 in Moldova resulted in the victory of a pro-European candidate Maia Sandu. In Moldova the problem of determining the foreign policy course does not lose its relevance –confrontation between pro-Russian and pro-Western forces does not stop in the country. The main goal of the right-wing forces that came to power is to change the geopolitical vector of Moldova in favor of the EU and the United States. In the near future the Moldovan society is expected to change, and first of all in the field of integration.
The Problem of Terrorist Activity of Jihadists from Central Asia in the West
Authors: Yashlavskii A.
Published: February 2021

A number of terrorist acts committed in different parts of Europe and America by radical immigrants from the post-Soviet states of Central Asia, as well as other manifestations of extremist activity, on the one hand, fit into the general global context of jihadist terrorism, and on the other hand, represent a phenomenon with its own specific features. In part, this specificity is determined by the policy of the Central Asian governments to “squeeze out” radicals and extremists from their countries, and in part, it is connected with the high migration mobility of people from the region. At the same time, against the background of attempts by transnational terrorist networks to use the terrorist activity of immigrants from the Central Asian region for their propaganda purposes, it should be noted that the phenomenon of “lone terrorists” will grow in this environment.
