Los genotipos de durazno de pulpa amarilla, prisco de pulpa blanca y chapeado de pulpa blanca se clasificaron de alta calidad morfológica. El genotipo de durazno de pulpa blanca se clasificó de calidad media. El sustrato de suelo con gallinaza benefició significativamente a las plantas en todas las variables, reflejando plantas de alta calidad morfológica. Es posible utilizar el genotipo de durazno prisco de pulpa blanca como portainjerto, ya que sobresalió en crecimiento y calidad.
A new striped species of Brachychalcinus (Ostariophysi: Characiformes) from Amapá and Pará states, northern Brazil
Authors: Garcia-Ayala James Raul , Lima Flávio César Thadeo de , Gama Cecile de Souza , Benine Ricardo Cardoso
Published: February 2024

Abstract A new species of Brachychalcinus is described from the rio Mapaoni, rio Jari basin, and the coastal rio Araguari, Amapá and Pará states, Brazil. The new species is distinguished from all congeners, except B. reisi, by possessing conspicuous longitudinal dark stripes across the body. It can be diagnosed from B. reisi by having longer predorsal and preanal spines, by having scales with few curved radii, and by having more scale rows between lateral line and midventral scale series. A single specimen from rio Tapajós (Pará, Brazil) bears all the diagnostic features of the new species and is herein tentatively identified as belonging to this taxon, extending its distribution to this river basin.
A (CO)CONSTRUÇÃO DISCURSIVA DE EVENTOS MEMORIALÍSTICOS EM ENTREVISTAS ORAIS
Authors: Santos Renata dos
Published: February 2024

Resumo Examina-se nesta pesquisa a estrutura de eventos memorialísticos sobre o trabalho artesanal ou manufatureiro em seis entrevistas orais com idosos de 66 a 84 anos. A fundamentação teórica explora conexões teórico-conceituais, assumindo o diálogo como uma propriedade inata da linguagem humana e a suposição de que a topicalização discursiva impacta diretamente a construção de eventos memorialísticos, determinando papéis para o entrevistador e o entrevistado. Os resultados indicam que, mesmo sem experiência direta com o trabalho artesanal ou manufatureiro, o entrevistador emerge como o principal coautor na construção das lembranças narradas.
Entre a Desinstitucionalização e a Resiliência: Participação Institucional no Governo Bolsonaro
Authors: Bezerra Carla de Paiva , Almeida Debora Rezende de , Lavalle Adrian Gurza , Dowbor Monika
Published: February 2024

Resumo Nosso objetivo é caracterizar a desinstitucionalização impulsionada pelo governo Bolsonaro e aferir seus alcances sobre os conselhos. Oferecemos um diagnóstico empírico da situação regulatória de 103 colegiados nacionais, a partir de base de dados original. Argumentamos que as medidas do governo não geram efeitos homogêneos e que variam em função de dois fatores: i) aspreferências do governo em relação aos conteúdos das políticas públicas; ii) a resiliência dos conselhos. A resiliência, é resultado da combinação de duas dimensões, desenvolvidas em uma tipologia analítica: o desenho institucional e sua inserção nas respectivas comunidades de políticas. Concluímos que os conselhos mais afetados em seu funcionamento estão relacionados às políticas cuja pauta é contrária àquela do governo Bolsonaro e que possuem menor resiliência, considerada em suas duas dimensões. Proporcionalmente, meio ambiente foi a área mais atingida pela revogação. Já direitos humanos e políticas sociais sofreram mais alterações substantivas. Por sua vez, a área de desenvolvimento econômico e infraestrutura foi a menos afetada, face ao maior alinhamento com as preferências do governo, mesmo contando com colegiados com menor resiliência.

Authors: Falcade Raissa Cruz , Bortoleto Marco Antonio Coelho
Published: February 2024

RESUMO Este estudo investigou o ensino das atividades circenses em escolas brasileiras, com foco no perfil das escolas, docentes e suas práticas pedagógicas. Utilizando um questionário online e combinando o método “bola de neve” e a busca ativa de participantes, a pesquisa envolveu 82 professores de todas as regiões. Os resultados destacam que o ensino de circo prevalece nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental, integrado à disciplina de Educação Física principalmente nas escolas públicas e como atividade extracurricular nas privadas. Desafios como falta de infraestrutura, turmas numerosas e escassa formação nessa temática foram destacados. A pesquisa corrobora o fortalecimento dessa atividade no âmbito escolar e sugere a necessidade de mais formação e suporte aos professores.
ECOPRENEURIAL BEHAVIOR IN A PANDEMIC CONTEXT
Authors: Prado Nágela Bianca do , Moraes Gustavo Hermínio Salati Marcondes de , Pinto Karen Esteves Fernandes , Voda Ana Iolanda , Synodinos Costa
Published: February 2024

ABSTRACT In this study, we examined ecopreneurial behavior in the COVID-19 context by analyzing the influence of moral obligation and environmental engagement on the perception of empathy, ecopreneurial self-efficacy, and environmental value creation. Primary data was collected from 130 Atlantic Forest Connection Project participants. Data analysis was performed using PLS-SEM. Six of eight hypotheses were supported. Our study confirmed that empathy and self-efficacy perception are influenced by higher moral obligation levels. Results also indicate that more environmentally engaged ecopreneurs have higher levels of self-efficacy and environmental value creation. On the other hand, the premise that a feeling of morality could positively impact environmental value creation arising from the business was contradicted. Similarly, the hypothesis that environmental engagement positively influences ecopreneurial empathy has not been confirmed. Thus, we advanced on ecopreneurship by opening a new research direction for testing the explanatory power of variables that have not been tested so far. The research also offers practical insights for policymakers and educators involved with ecopreneurship. In the same way, we shed light on farmers and agriculture. Additionally, we present contributions directly related to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Agenda.
A THEORY OF PRESENTEEISM BEYOND BEING SICK AND A MEASUREMENT TOOL
Authors: Yılmaz Salim , Söyük Selma
Published: February 2024

ABSTRACT The first definition of presenteeism was limited to individuals who attended work despite being unwell. Over the past 15 years, other perspectives have expanded the concept to encompass any non-work-related factors influencing behavior during working hours. This research aims to redefine presenteeism within the context of healthcare workers' behaviors and contribute to the literature by introducing a measurement scale. The study involved 431 healthcare professionals across nine public and four private/foundation hospitals. Presenteeism was associated positively with burnout and negatively with happiness at work. Younger people showed higher levels of presenteeism compared to their older counterparts, as did those who worked nine hours or more per day. Although the scale was applied to healthcare professionals, its framework holds potential for use in other areas.
EFICÁCIA DA MEDIAÇÃO LABORAL OBRIGATÓRIA NO CHILE: A UTILIZAÇÃO DE ESTRATÉGIAS INFORMADAS POR TERCEIROS
Authors: Rodríguez Jorge Cea
Published: February 2024

RESUMO O artigo explora a eficácia dos mediadores trabalhistas no Chile, concentrando-se na utilização de estratégias de mediação na mediação obrigatória. Os dados foram coletados em entrevistas semiestruturadas, baseadas no questionário de mediadores de sucesso, como Goldberg (2005), e nos fatores-chave que explicam a razão pela qual as partes confiam nos mediadores, propostos por Poitras et al. (2003) e Poitras (2009). As transcrições das entrevistas foram analisadas com uso do Atlas.ti, em um sistema de categorias sugerido de estratégias de mediação, para a construção de uma boa relação com as partes em conflito. Os achados indicam que os mediadores utilizam dois tipos de estratégias: contextuais e reflexivas na mediação. A principal razão para o sucesso do desempenho dos mediadores se deve à utilização dessas estratégias em dois tipos de conflitos (conflitos de direitos e de interesses) na mediação obrigatória no Chile.
Literacy in UNESCO’s Fundamental Education Program
Authors: Gontijo Cláudia Maria Mendes
Published: February 2024

Abstract This article examines and discusses the topic of literacy within the Basic Education Program (1946-1958) of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Drawing from Mikhail Bakhtin’s theories, the theoretical analysis centers on his conception of utterance as a guiding framework. Employing documentary research, the focus lies on analyzing documents authored by UNESCO’s directors-general and specialists commissioned for organizational studies. It challenges the position of literacy within the program, delving into controversies surrounding the formulation of guiding principles to be followed by UNESCO, its educational viewpoint, the idea of fundamental education, and the positioning of literacy within this framework while scrutinizing the so-called ideal concept behind UNESCO’s global educational initiatives. The conclusion highlights that the integration of literacy campaigns into UNESCO’s educational agenda stemmed from a shift in its perception, emphasizing its instrumental nature and the ongoing need for educators to advocate for literacy across diverse age groups, resisting its reduction to a merely mechanistic and purely functional aspect.
Practical and Parallelizable Algorithms for Non-Monotone Submodular Maximization with Size Constraint
Authors: Chen Yixin , Kuhnle Alan
Published: February 2024

We present combinatorial and parallelizable algorithms for the maximization of a submodular function, not necessarily monotone, with respect to a size constraint. We improve the best approximation factor achieved by an algorithm that has optimal adaptivity and nearly optimal query complexity to 1/6 − ε, and even further to 0.193 − ε by increasing the adaptivity by a factor of O(log(k)). The conference version of this work mistakenly employed a subroutine that does not work for non-monotone, submodular functions. In this version, we propose a fixed and improved subroutine to add a set with high average marginal gain, ThreshSeq, which returns a solution in O(log(n)) adaptive rounds with high probability. Moreover, we provide two approximation algorithms. The first has approximation ratio 1/6 − ε, adaptivity O(log(n)), and query complexity O(n log(k)), while the second has approximation ratio 0.193 − ε, adaptivity O(log(n) log(k)), and query complexity O(n log(k)). Our algorithms are empirically validated to use a low number of adaptive rounds and total queries while obtaining solutions with high objective value in comparison with state-of-the-art approximation algorithms, including continuous algorithms that use the multilinear extension.
Effects of steam curing on the pore structure of recycled aggregate concrete

Published: February 2024

The pores in steam-cured concrete affect its strength and durability, and optimisation of the steaming system can improve the pore structure to some extent. However, the influence mechanism of evaporation on recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) remains unclear. In this paper, the effects of curing temperature (20°C, 40°C, 60°C and 80°C), steam curing time (6 h, 9 h and 12 h) and pozzolans (slag powder and fly ash) on the compressive strength and pore structure of RAC were studied. The microstructure characteristics such as pore size and pore size distribution were analysed by mercury injection porosimetry. The results show that steam curing can significantly improve the compressive strength and reduce the most probable aperture and average pore sizes of RAC. Moreover, the effect of slag powder on RAC pore structure is better than that of fly ash. Also, there is a linear correlation between the compressive strength and the average pore size of steam-cured RAC. This could be an important parameter for constructing future steam-cured RAC strength prediction models.

La contaminación del aire es un problema ambiental y de salud pública mundial, ya que es la principal causa global de enfermedades cardiovasculares, cáncer de pulmón, enfermedades respiratorias agudas y crónicas y enfermedades neurológicas. El transporte es la principal fuente de contaminación del aire en áreas urbanas y afecta principalmente a personas expuestas a ello por el tipo de ocupaciones al cual se dedican, como los conductores de taxi. La exposición al interior de sus vehículos hace que los taxistas inhalen entre 7 y 8 veces más contaminantes al día que un viajero regular. Además, los taxistas también enfrentan condiciones laborales desfavorables lo que actúa en sinergia con los contaminantes del aire para desarrollar diferentes problemas de salud. El gremio de los taxistas debe ser consciente de esta problemática y cuáles pueden ser las soluciones que están a la mano.
Refashioning Origins in the Anthropocene II: Facing Hyperobjects as Pedagogical Practice
Authors: Brite Elizabeth B. , Yeung Charlotte , Pelnekar Sanika , Venkatraman Shivani , Okin Olivia
Published: February 2024

Educational reform may play an important role in transforming ontological thinking in the Anthropocene. While many critical and environmental pedagogies utilize reflection and writing to bring about a greater ecological awareness in students, dark  pedagogy specifically advocates using these practices to help students explore the partially unseen, non-human “other” in their lived experiences. More than an ecological awareness, dark pedagogy facilitates an intimate understanding of object-oriented ontology and is thought to enhance students’ abilities to face the Anthropocene’s uncanny, disturbing, and frightening qualities. In this follow-up contribution to an Anthropocenes journal Intervention section (Brite et al. 2021), we report on the work of four student authors to learn more about their uncanny experiences through dark pedagogy reflection and writing.In the earlier contribution, five student authors from the Purdue University John Martinson Honors College (JMHC) shared their origin stories to convey their reflections on self, place, and belonging amid global planetary change. The origin narratives in this first set contributed by students were provocative in their affective expression of an ecological awareness disturbed by perceptions of massive material bodies, or ‘hyperobjects’ (Morton 2013). These were described variously as entities that could threaten, erode, alienate, and inure them from modern life as they struggled towards self-genesis and place-making. In this second iteration of the class exercise, four new students from the same course, HONR 39900: The Anthropocene, in the fall of 2022 extended beyond this work by crafting and then re-examining their origin story to explicitly identify and confront their hyperobjects. A post-course writing group was formed that allowed additional time for these students to revise their work, supported by instructor-guided exploration of critical texts selected based on central themes in their writing. In this second iteration of the classroom exercise, the outcomes were significantly more directed by the students themselves; the students selected the order in which the narratives are presented, and they collaborated in weekly discussions to reflect upon and finalize the meanings they derived from their activities. An instructor-authored introduction frames the pedagogical approach, and a concluding section considers its outcomes in furtherance of developing classroom practices for the Anthropocene.

Published: February 2024

This article is about why is important using contextual teaching in learning process. The concept of contextual teaching in learning emphasizes the full student’s activity both physically and mentally. Contextual learning considers that learning is not a memorizing activity, considering facts, but a process of experience in life. Contextual teaching and learning imply that learning becomes meaningful to learners by connecting to the real world. It is based on the diverse skills, interests, experiences and cultures of learners. Education can be used to change human behavior. It can enhance one’s ability to perform verbally, quantitatively and analytically. In this regard, we consider the strengths and weaknesses of this method and analyze whether it is worth using the Contextual method in teaching. The article provides interpretations of the term context by different scientists and its efficiency in all branches of science

The science of physiology studies the vital functions of humans and living beings. We examined the words that express this physiological state as a separate group of words and divided them into lexical and semantic groups. In general, the semantic nature of the verb in the Kyrgyz language, including conditional verbs, is not fully disclosed and requires a lot of research. The issue that we are currently studying is relevant for the Kyrgyz language.
Russian-Chinese Relations and Their Prospects in Energy and Agriculture
Authors: Ivanov Timur , Demenskaya Valeria
Published: February 2024

The development of relations between countries takes place during the transition from a unipolar world to a multipolar one. Against the background of the fact that Western countries, led by the United States, are striving for world hegemony, Russia and China are interested in strengthening their statehood. The reason for the intensification of the geopolitical and geo-economic crises is the redistribution of the world, including due to the increased economic and military power of China.
Protecting national interests and strengthening the country's security is the primary task of any state. Currently, the most important are security in the field of energy and agriculture. That is why these two areas have become interesting to us for scientific research.
The article considers the structure of exports and imports of Russia and China; the main directions of export and import of the two economies, their complementarity; the role and significance of China for the modern economy of Russia, the prospects for bilateral relations in the near future.
Foreign Economic Relations of China and Russia and Prospects of Sino-Russian Economic and Trade Cooperation
Authors: Chao Ding
Published: February 2024

Over the past 30 years, economic globalization has significantly increased the pace of global economic growth, allowing emerging market economies to gain opportunities for economic development and economic modernization. After joining the WTO, China and Russia accelerated the development of foreign economic relations, while promoting the reform of the domestic economic and trade system, especially the signing of a number of bilateral and multilateral free trade agreements, which, in turn, gave a new impetus to the development of the world economy. In recent years, economic globalization has increasingly been challenged by unilateralism and trade protectionism. The attempt by the United States to use the Russian-Ukrainian conflict to divide the world economy is the biggest problem facing economic globalization now and in the future. China and Russia have always been firm supporters of globalization, opposing economic hegemony, unilateral sanctions and any actions that divide the world economy. Since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Russia, with the continuous improvement of bilateral relations, economic and trade cooperation has repeatedly gone against the tide to help the two countries achieve economic development and overcome the economic crisis. Against the background of repeated local outbreaks of the Covid-19 epidemic in China and tough sanctions against Russia, Sino-Russian economic and trade cooperation continues to trend towards rapid growth. In the future, China and Russia will seek new opportunities for cooperation in the face of uncertainty and contribute to the sustainable development of the global economic system.
Mao Zedong's First Visit to Russia. From the History of the Formation of Cooperation Between the USSR and China
Authors: Wenge Li , Datsyshen Vladimir
Published: February 2024

The article is devoted to the history of Mao Zedong's visit to the Soviet Union in late 1949 — early 1950. To date, this visit remains insufficiently studied, and there are differences in the content approaches and assessments of this event in Russian and Chinese historiography. The importance of this event was due to the fact that Mao Zedong's trip to Moscow at the end of 1949 was not only the first visit by the leader of the People's Republic of China to the Soviet Union, but also his first trip abroad. The research focuses on an important but least studied component of Mao Zedong's visit to the USSR — his visits to major Russian cities, acquaintance with enterprises of the Urals and Siberia, various institutions and organizations, meetings with local authorities and representatives of the public. The research is based on written and visual sources of personal origin, both of Russian and Chinese origin, periodical press materials and office documents. The visit of the Chinese delegation led by Mao Zedong to the cities of the Urals, Siberia and the Manchuria border station became an important factor in the development of successful and fruitful cooperation between the USSR and China in the 1950s.
Socio-Economic Development of Tibet in the 8th Five-Year Plan (1991–1995). Part 6
Authors: Selishchev Aleksander
Published: February 2024

The fourth session of the NPC of the VII convocation (March 25 — April 9, 1991) approved a ten-year plan for the socio-economic development of the People's Republic of China (1991–2000), as well as a plan for the 8th five-year plan. According to the eighth five-year plan, the average annual growth rate of the country's GDP in 1991–1995 was to be 6 %. However, the collapse of the socialist system in Eastern Europe and the dismantling of the USSR in December 1991 forced the Chinese leadership to reconsider the country's development strategy. In January-February 1992, Deng Xiaoping went to the south of the country, where he expressed ideas about the future development of the country. On the basis of this, a decision was made on a new acceleration of economic growth and the transition to a new economic strategy: the “socialist market economy system”. As a result of the measures taken, the average annual growth rate for the 8th five-year period amounted to 11.8 % — the best results in the economic history of the People's Republic of China. Tibet, as one of the five autonomous regions of China, has also revised the strategy of economic development in accordance with the general one in the country, considering its specifics. The main task of the economic development of Tibet was the accelerated development of the region, the fight against poverty, the full stimulation of market relations and openness. During the eighth five-year plan, Tibet managed to solve many problems and achieve many successes.

Anxiety and depression are the most common issues of mental health problems. In military medicine, healthcare professionals are facing even more of it because the military population is taken out to tasks that are more likely to lead to these kinds of symptoms and/or disorders even with attention, training, and preventive measures. The military medical system focuses on that and in special cases like disasters and pandemics the civilian side could also profit from its experiences.
INCOMPLETE SENTENCES IN THE LANGUAGE OF JAPANESE MASS CULTURE AS A DEVIATION FROM THE LANGUAGE NORMS
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Komarnytska Tamara
Published: February 2024

Background. The paper draws attention to the deviations from the syntactic norm in the sentences of the language of mass culture, in particular, the frequency of incomplete sentences that are not typical for literary language, on the example of the oral and written genres of modern mass culture of Japan. The main objective was to analyze, using quantitative and qualitative methods, the phenomena of ellipsis and nominative sentences, widely represented in the language of both written (fashion magazines, manga comics) and oral (lyrics of popular songs, the language of entertainment TV shows) genres of Japanese mass culture. Results. A so called “norm” for the language of mass culture is the production of entire texts that fully consist of ellipted and nominative sentences, that is, they do not contain a single complete one (such examples occur, in particular, in the language of magazine articles, song lyrics, or manga chapters). In incomplete sentences, the predicate is partially or completely removed, which sometimes makes it impossible to interpret the grammatical tense of one sentence or entire texts. The omission of the predicate, which is often accompanied by the introduction of an exclamation mark, that is not typical for Japanese text in general, shifts the emphasis from the action to the objects that are presented to the recipient in isolation, sort of careless manner, which, on the one hand, leads to easier perception of information, but, on the other hand, spreads mistaken samples of word usage due to the non-compliance of the structure of such messages with the syntactic norm. In addition to complete or partial removal of the predicate from the sentence, the language of mass culture is also characterized by sentences-words expressed by a single interjection; interjections often replace verbs in the predicate position. Conclusions. This overusing of ellipsis and nominative clauses in the language of mass culture seems to bring it closer to colloquial speech or spontaneous informal speech, which most likely aims to make the language of mass culture more accessible and the meanings it conveys “closer” to the consumer. The reproduction of colloquial speech in the syntactic structure of the language of mass culture seems to have a manipulative potential, as well as a destructive role in blurring literary norms and destructing the language “feeling” among the mass culture audience.
COMPLIMENTS IN PERSIAN-SPEAKING COMMUNICATION: UNIVERSAL AND ETHNOSPECIFIC
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Mazepova Olena
Published: February 2024

Background. The relevance of the study is determined by the need to develop the appropriate sociocultural competence of students studying Eastern languages in Ukrainian universities. Compliment is one of the ethno-specific speech acts (SA) functioning in the Persian linguistic and cultural area. Discovering the strategies which Persian speakers apply when giving and receiving compliments will help to understand the specific features of the cognitive mechanisms underlying their communicative behavior, and to make certain conclusions about their axiological world's image. Methods. (i) Comparative – to analyze the views of Western and Iranian researchers on the nature of compliments and responses to them; (ii) discourse analysis – to identify various social, mental, cultural, etc. factors that influence the complementary behavior of Persian speakers; (iii) intent analysis – to identify actual, explicitly non-expressed intentions of participants in Persian-speaking complimentary interaction. Results. It has been established that the compliment SA in Persian-speaking communication is closely related to the cultural schemes šekastenafsi 'modesty' and ša'n 'dignity' – integral components of the Persian politeness system ta'ārof. When responding to a compliment, Iranians tend to downplay the object of the compliment, raising the status of the initiator of the compliment instead. Also they apply this strategy when communicating in English, which demonstrates how valuable it is and how deep it is rooted in the Persian linguistic consciousness. Conclusions. In both English-speaking and Persian-speaking communicative behavior there is one common element – the desire to respond positively to a compliment, yet avoiding self-praise. Functioning of Persian-language compliments demonstrates its ethno-specific nature in the following cases: 1) when the reaction to a compliment on a thing of the addressee becomes a counteroffer to accept that thing as a gift; 2) when women are complimented on their appearance or personal qualities by men they don't know well; due to cultural restrictions, such compliments are perceived as insincere comments or even sarcasm, so they are ignored or regarded with disapproval.
THE COGNITIVE-PRAGMATIC ASPECTS OF THE INAUGURAL SPEECH OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA YOON SUK YEOL ON MAY 10, 2022, IN CONTEMPORAL POLITICAL DISCOURSE
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Andrianov Dmytro , Smohol Danylo ,   Osaka University, Osaka, Japan
Published: February 2024

Background. The article is devoted to the contemporary Korean political discourse taking into account the cultural context, namely the high-contextuality and hermeneutics of Korean culture. Politically oriented texts are always an indicator of national values, because political thinking and linguistic specificity of public speeches are in close interaction. The political speech actualizes the religious and philosophical traditions of the Korean-Asian civilizational model, is characterized by a high level of formality, focuses on the use of language formulas, and unfolds narratives important for modern Korean society. Methods . It is through the systematization of all the above empirical data that the cognitive model of political discourse is outlined and the speech is defined as an integral process of interaction of cognitive, communicative and pragmatic factors, as well as a means of effective implementation of influence on the audience. In order to reveal implicitly expressed connections between language, power and ideology in the text of the inaugural speech of the acting president of the Republic of Korea, Yoon Suk Yeol, the method of critical discourse analysis was used. Results . Conclusions about the qualitative characteristics of political communication were made on the basis of quantitative data using content analysis. The suggestive potential of a political speech is realized through the structural and syntactic organization of the text - this is a special complex-wave rhythm based on the repetition and alternation of formal and lexical-grammatical elements and the functioning of dynamic text groups centered on key words. Conclusions . Determining the hierarchy of values relevant only within Korean culture, for which political discourse was created, is a primary task for decoding the inner content of political life, reproducing communicative intentions, and when analyzing the political discourse of East Asian countries.

Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Mykulych Yuliia
Published: February 2024

The research is aimed at analyzing the genre system of Indonesian poetry during the Balai Pustaka period in order to reveal the importance of this stage for the development of Indonesian literature and the nation's self-identification. The relevance lies in establishing the contribution of the lyrical genres of this period to the formation of Indonesian literary and cultural identity. The main questions of the study include the analysis of forms and genres of Indonesian poetry of the Balai Pustaka period, the study of the role of the "Balai Pustaka" publishing house in the formation of this poetry, identifying common and unique features of this period in literature, and revealing the influence of historical events on the genre system of poetry. The research is based on the analysis of texts by Indonesian poets Mohammad Yamin, Sanusi Pane, and Rustam Effendi. As a result of the research, it was found that this period was transitional in the history of Indonesian poetry, combining traditional genres with new forms, and the role of the "Balai Pustaka" publishing house in this process was emphasized. The period of 1920–1933 was critical in forming the Indonesian poetic tradition and defined key aspects of literary identity. This era was marked by the flowering of lyricism, as well as the appearance of new genres such as sonnets. Poets of that time expressed their feelings and thoughts in verse for the first time, contributing to the formation of a national cultural image.

The relevance. Forgetting the problems of being, erasing the idea of being from the worldview of modern man, and focusing on individualistic and hedonistic practices leads to the narrowing of the personality‘s fullness, dehumanization of its moral and spiritual dimension, and alienation from one's essence. Philosophical reactualization of being and its metaphysical essential foundations will allow finding a reliable ontological foundation for a shaken by skepticism and nihilism moral culture, and for the human who lost his essence. Goal. The purpose of the article is to study the ontological foundations of moral culture. The tasks of the first part of the article are to investigate the ontological framework of moral culture, and the fundamental axes on which it is based; the tasks of the second part of the article are to analyze the moral concepts of freedom, conscience, dignity, and equality through the prism of the ontological framework. Methods. The article uses a historical-philosophical and comparative method, genealogy, and hermeneutic methods of interpretation. The results. Ethical relations unfold in the value-meaning space of moral culture between the Self and the Other. The transcendental condition for the possibility of moral culture is reality and its internal structure, the parameters of which are set by the ontological framework, namely by the poles of attraction of singular and multiple, sacred and profane, phenomenal (existential) and essential. It is shown that the Western metaphysical tradition managed to find a balance between the extremes of the single and multiple, while the Eastern tradition of Hinduism, on the one hand, and the anti-metaphysical trends of the 19th and 20th centuries, on the other hand, absolutized one or the other extreme. Conclusions. Moral culture cannot be built and substantiated in isolation from ontology, and therefore without addressing being as the sphere of the real. Both metaphysical and anti-metaphysical philosophical systems are based on ontological assumptions. Without being rooted in ontology, ethics risks losing reality and realness. The transcendental "yes" or "no" to being enables further forms of moral relations and principles that exist in culture.

Legal Nature of Failure to Enforce a Sentence
Authors: Yaraliev N. T.
Published: February 2024

Failure to enforce a criminal sentence is traditionally viewed through the prism of the responsibility of the one who ensures enforcement of a sentence and the one to whom the sentence is assigned for enforcement. Meanwhile, criminal and penal legislation provides for a number of situations when the imposed sentence is not carried out based on considerations of expediency. Such a failure to enforce may be complete or partial, conditional or unconditional. This practice is quite common in law enforcement. Attention is given to the imperfection of legislation on the failure to enforce a sentence, to fundamental inaccuracies in its application in practice, and proposals are made to improve criminal law policy in this direction.

The term carbon footprint refers to the amount of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2) released into the atmosphere through daily activities. The goal of the European Union is to become climate neutral by the 2050, i.e., to achieve carbon neutrality, which means achieving a balance between carbon emissions and its absorption from the atmosphere into carbon sinks. With the guidance of the Green Plan, by 2050, Europe is to become the first continent to eliminate as much CO2 emissions as it produces. Global annual CO2 growth is 1.4%. According to data from 2016, global scale of emissions was around 50 billion t/y. of CO2 (an increase of 40% compared to 1990). Croatia emitted 17.88 million tons of CO2 and EU emitted total of 2.92 billion tons. While carbon footprint can be reduced by improving energy efficiency and changing lifestyles and habits much of it depends on personal characteristics of individuals and societal values, age, gender, place of residence and habits are elaborated in this paper. Statistical methods were used to process and analyze the results.

: Nachos, originating from northern Mexico, are traditionally made using maize flour and commonly served as appetizers or snacks. Little millet, a nutritious alternative to maize, boosts high levels of iron, phosphorous, and protein, making it gluten-free and suitable for those with celiac disease.

: This research was conducted to develop a value-based product with a lower gluten and carbohydrate content than standard nachos.

: The study involved preparation of Nachos by replacing a portion of wheat flour with Little Millet flour in various ratios. The sensory quality of the developed Nachos was then assessed, and the proximate composition of both the modified version and traditionally prepared Nachos was estimated for comparison.

The product, formulated by substituting little millet flour for whole wheat flour in six variations, including a control group, was evaluated for its sensory attributes.

: The developed product was a nutritionally superior and health-promoting product when compared to the standard Nachos.

: Among the variations, the 30% substitution of wheat flour with Little Millet flour was notably well-received by semi-trained sensory panelists. Proximate analysis of this chosen variation revealed lower carbohydrates but higher fiber and iron content. The iron levels evidently increased, while phosphorus levels showed no significant difference.

Published: February 2024

Objetivo: Relatar as dificuldades enfrentadas para a efetivação da amamentação e desenvolver um espaço de promoção em saúde para gestantes e puérperas, na tentativa de oportunizar o aleitamento materno de forma eficaz aos lactentes. Através de um grupo de gestantes, puérperas e lactentes, desenvolvidos na Unidade Básica de Saúde França Dantas de Lira - Malta, Paraíba.   Metodologia: O presente estudo, pauta-se na metodologia de aprendizado e problematização Arco de Maguerez, que parte da observação da realidade de um contexto real e proporciona ao profissional/estudante uma busca pelo conhecimento a fim de solucionar os problemas destacados. Relato: A partir da construção de um grupo de gestantes e lactentes, foi desenvolvido rodas de conversa que, através de momentos teóricos, sanaram dúvidas sobre a amamentação e momentos práticos que demonstraram técnicas que facilitam esse processo. As dificuldades enfrentadas durante a aplicação dessa dinâmica se detiveram à desconstrução de saberes populares, falta de informação, inexperiência e alta carga horária de trabalho.    Conclusão: As maiores dificuldades enfrentadas neste período de amamentação é a inexperiência, manuseio das mamas ingurgitadas e com fissuras, além de falta de informação sobre o processo. Todas essas questões criaram uma barreira entre as mães e a amamentação, necessitando da intervenção da atenção primária, onde esta possa desempenhar um papel crucial na promoção da amamentação, influenciando positivamente a adesão e continuidade dessa prática por meio de orientações adequadas às gestantes e lactantes.
