Das Lexem „Austage“ im Siebenbürgisch-Sächsischen; damit belegte nordsiebenbürgische Wortbildungskonstruktionen
Authors: Haldenwang Sigrid
Published: October 2024

The lexem „Austage“ is a word that is attested in Transylvanian Saxon in the sense of t h e l a s t days of winter and the first days of the be -ginning of spring, also as an older term for s p r i n g in general, which covers the period from about 21 March to 21 June. In the article, the dates for the above-described period „Austage“ are initially given as dates in legal documents from the 16th to and including the 18th century, followed by selected vernacular examples. Subsequently, based on certain peasant expressions as well as peasant rules and proverbs, the most important agricultural work is discussed, which is carried out by the farmer in those „Austage“ days awaited with longing and impatience. Furthermore, northern Transylvanian word formation constructions using with the lexem „Austage“ are analysed stating their meanings and their word formation process, whereby reference is made to corresponding specialist literature on word formation in contemporary German. The vernacular examples documented in the article are taken from the Transylvanian-Saxon Dictionary, the North Transylvanian Dictionary and Transylvanian-Saxon specialist and vernacular literature.
Das Frauenbild im Sozialismus. Eine exemplarische Untersuchung der Tageszeitung der rumäniendeutschen Minderheit Neuer Weg (1950)
Authors: Dănilă Adriana
Published: October 2024

This study focuses on the image of women in socialist society, as it appears in several articles on International Women’s Day in the Romanian-German newspaper Neuer Weg in the 1950s. The political authorities of the time would use Women’s Day to draw attention not only to problems specific to women, such as the protection of mother and child, women in the family and at work, but also to discuss political issues such as equal rights for women, universal, equal, secret and direct women’s suffrage and securing peace.

The author takes the standpoint of sociolinguistics and pragmalinguistics in analysing and evaluating the linguistic data, whereby the language material points out particularities on a lexical, morpho-syntactic and pragmatic level.

Artificial intelligence is changing our world and will change it ever more profoundly in the future. As a result, numerous areas of work are also changing, professions and jobs are disappearing, while others must change and adapt to survive. These transformations also affect the translation market and the work of translators. Machine translation (MT) transfers entire texts from one language to another in a matter of seconds, enabling communication on a scale and at a speed that could never have been dreamed of in the past. However, these MT systems have been around for over 70 years and are still not able to deliver the perfect translation or make human translators superfluous. So how should aspiring translators deal with these technologies, how should they use them to make their work more efficient and therefore more profitable?

These are questions that we, as trainers of these future translators, should address in our teaching in order to prepare our students for the labour market of the 21st century. This article wishes to discuss some theoretical aspects of MT to address some concrete elements that I believe could and should be introduced into translation courses and that are intended to stimulate discussion and reflection.

Published: October 2024

This paper reports the results of a comparative analysis of two rolling methods that were used to produce rail axles. One was cross wedge rolling conducted with the use of flat plates, and the other was skew rolling conducted with the use of three rollers and one chuck. The analysis involved performing numerical calculations based on the finite element method. It was assumed that the part would be made of steel grade C35 and hot formed in a scale of 1:5. Numerical results were used to compare selected parameters of parts rolled by the two methods, including the distributions of stress, strain and Cockcroft-Latham ductile fracture criterion, as well as energy consumption of the two processes. It was found that all the analysed technological aspects primarily depended on the rolling method applied.
Preventing Corruption in Bali’s Customary Villages: How Do Regional Institutions Play a Role?
Authors: Rejeki Ni Komang Windu , Dwi Atmaja Bima Kumara , Krisna Yanti Anak Agung Istri Eka
Published: October 2024

Customary villages are traditional institutions in Bali that have existed for centuries. The village has autonomy when it comes to managing its customary arrangements based on local traditions and wisdom, meaning that it does not have a hierarchical relationship with the government based on the state structure of the Republic of Indonesia. The Bali Province Government, a second-layer hierarchical government structure in Indonesia, applies a unique approach to performing relationships with customary villages in Bali as it has regularly supported the existence and activities of customary villages, including providing funding assistance. Unfortunately, several cases have shown the misuse of government funds. This article, therefore, identifies the practice of fraud and corruption in customary villages in Bali. Second, it analyses the role of the Customary Community Development Agency (DPMA) of the Bali Province Government in supervising the financial management of Bali's customary villages. Lastly, it supports the synergy between DPMA and the Representative Office of the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP) of Bali Province in preventing corruption cases in the customary villages. The article applies empirical legal research, which involves collecting primary and secondary data and analyzing them using statutory, factual, and legal concept analysis approaches. The research suggests that fraud and corruption cases in customary villages cause a loss of government funds, harming the financial management of Village Credit Institutions (LPD), and involving the misuse of power. The provincial regulation authorizes DPMA to address this issue by monitoring how customary villages use the Bali Province Government grants. This paper then argues that the DPMA’s role would be more effective if it adopted a more formal collaboration with the Representative BPKP in Bali Province through various joint programs that support the comprehensive efforts to prevent corruption in customary villages in Bali.

Mangroves are plants in coastal and estuary areas that are influenced by tides. Mangroves provide essential habitats as spawning, nursery and food sources for various biota, including mollusks. Mollusks have a reciprocal relationship with mangrove plants, play an important role in maintaining the balance of the food chain in mangrove ecosystems. The objective of the research is to establish the structure of the mollusk community and its correlation with environmental conditions in the Pulau Penyu mangroves. The study was carried out in September 2023. The method employed the 1x1m quadrat transect with 15 points per station. Salinity, pH, temperature and substrate type are all measurements of environmental conditions. The research revealed 24 species, including 20 gastropod species and 4 bivalvia species from 12 mollusk families. Families found include Potamididae, Cerithiidae, Batillariidae, Ellobiidae, Mitridae, Neritidae, Littorinidae, Naticidae, Muricidae, Veneridae, Cyrenidae and Corbulidae. Mollusk abundance ranged from 0,07 to 13,07 ind/m2 at the research site, with Cerithium coralium being the most abundant species and Corbula macgillivrayi being the least abundant. The results of diversity index is 1,90 to 2,25; evenness index is 0,68 to 0,78; dominance index is 0,18 to 0,25; indicating moderate species diversity, high individual numbers each species, and no dominant species. The range of environmental parameter values obtained were; temperature ranges from 34,1 to 35,37 oC; pH ranges from 6,43 to 6,68; and salinity ranges from 35,2 to 36,3 ppt. The substrate type at the research site was sandy clay and clayey sand. PCA analysis results indicate a strong relationship between mollusk abundance and pH, salinity and sand fraction, but very weak relationship with temperature, dust and clay fraction.

Forecasting is an objective calculation and uses past data to predict something in the future. The economic activity of buying and selling shares is a common activity in this digital era. Investment in the capital market is currently popular among the general public. Forecasting in the digitalization era has undergone many developments, as well as its application not only in agriculture, but also in economics, politics and other fields. The development of forecasting in the economic field is growing rapidly with the use of more complex mathematical models and the application of information technology. Forecasting is an objective calculation and uses past data to predict something in the future. Utilization of artificial neural network (ANN) is one of the solutions for forecasting with more accurate results. One of the algorithms in ANN is the backpropagation algorithm. Apart from using other backpropagation forecasting methods that can be used is the deep learning (DL) method with a recurrent neural network algorithm. The backpropagation method produces an optimal MAPE of 13.28%. with an architectural model of seven input layer neurons, seven hidden layer neurons, and using the sigmoid activation function. The recurrent neural network method produces an optimal MAPE of 1.12%. with an architectural model of seven input layer neurons, ten hidden layer neurons, and using the tanh activation function. If the two optimal MAPEs of each method are compared, the Recurrent Neural Network Method produces more optimal forecasting compared to the backpropagation method.
Boekpayoo Customary Ceremony of Ga-Dangme in Nungua: Culture Versus Law in Ghana’s Fight Against Child Marriages
Authors: Adom Dickson
Published: October 2024

Child marriage has been an age-long problem in Ghana’s quest of protecting the rights and development of young girls. Though there are various international and domestic legal frameworks to assist the Ghana government in taking proactive steps in fighting against child marriages, there are some deep-rooted cultural practices commemorated in some Ghanaian traditional communities that seem to derail the government’s efforts. This paper aims to analyze the Boekpayoo customary ceremony organized by the Nungua Traditional Council in Ghana at the Gborbu temple on the 30th of March 2024. It offers a deeper understanding of the appropriateness and legality of the Boekpayoo customary ceremony to show how Ghana struggles to end all forms of child or early marriage. This paper puts the customary ceremony under the lens of existing domestic and international legal frameworks and cultural anthropology perspectives. This paper has relied on and has been critically analyzed through secondary data from national and international legal instruments, cultural anthropology literature, and news reports. This study revealed that the procedure for the Boekpayoo ceremony, as well as the fitting appointment for occupying the position of Naa Yoomo Ayemuede, is legitimate, as it helps in the preservation and promotion of the place-identity history and culture of the Ga-Dangmes. However, the timing and selection of Naa Okromo need to be analyzed as they are not in accordance with the established national and international legal frameworks.

This is a study of initial stages of adaptation of the ancient human population to the use of aquatic food supplies in the White Sea. The main aim of archaeozoological analysis was to study the processes of formation of faunal remains and strategies on seals hunting during the Eneolithic in the White Sea region. The archaeological source material consists of faunal remains recovered from two Eneolithic sites of the Kandalaksha bay. The results of archaeozoological studies confirmed the high importance of the ringed seal and harp seal in the hunting prey of the inhabitants of the studied sites. Eneolithic hunting strategies of the White Sea region were closely related to the behavioral and ecological patterns of seals. The seal hunt was based on a model of exploiting a massive seasonal resource. Hunting pressure on the ringed seal and harp seal populations was significant. Seals were the main suppliers of meat, skin and fat for the inhabitants of the Eneolithic sites of this part of Fennoscandia. The studies of the lithic tools from the Early Metal period settlements from Kandalaksha bay provide additional evidences of a specialized marine hunting. Apparently, in the Eneolithic (IV – III millennia calBC), the economic and cultural type of sea hunters was formed on the shores of the White Sea.

The results of the study of the discrepancies problem between regional cultural and chronological schemes in the context of the modified "system of three centuries" are presented. The study is based on the materials of the Garino and Chirki cultures, which sites are located in the extreme northeast of Europe, and on the results of radiocarbon dating of the Eneolithic and Bronze Age complexes of the Eastern European Plain forest zone. The disharmony of the archaeological periodization is expressed in the presence of both populations of the culture attributed to the Late Bronze Age and the Eneolithic culture in the studied region. As a result, it was determined that the sites with Chirkovsko-Seiminskiy or Fatianoid pottery types including the complexes of the Atamannur culture, are synchronous with the Garino culture within the Eneolithic or the 2nd half of the 3rd millennium B.C. However, the main arguments in favor of the Eneolithic of the Chirki culture are the use of pure copper artefacts together with intensive flint knapping with a developed bifacial industry. Therefore, it is predicted that existing ideas about the periodization of early metal sites in north-eastern Europe will be corrected. The comparison of radiocarbon dates showed that complexes with porous and asbestos pottery with sparse decoration (Orovnavolok XVI and Pelya types) are generally older than the pottery of the Garino (Choinovty) culture. This complicates the problem of the origin of the latter, since it is likely that its ceramic traditions originated to the west of the extreme north-east of Europe.

Objective: aims to estimate emissions of the main atmospheric pollutants from vehicular sources in the state of Pará, to continue the environmental agenda of monitoring air quality.
 
Theoretical Framework: The growing global concern about air quality in urban areas is driven by the environmental and public health impacts caused by air pollution. The concentration of pollutants from vehicle sources represents one of the main challenges, especially in densely populated regions such as the capital and other major cities in the state of Pará, where the automotive fleet has increased significantly.
 
Method: The methodology used combined "bottom-up" and "top-down" methods to calculate emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NO) and total hydrocarbons (HC) for different vehicle categories and fuel types. Data on licensed vehicle fleets and fuel consumption obtained from DETRAN-PA and ANP were used.
 
Results and Discussion: The results revealed that gasoline-powered vehicles are responsible for the majority of CO and HC emissions, while diesel vehicles emit the largest amounts of NO into the atmosphere. Motorcycles were identified as the largest source of emissions due to their larger number in the circulating fleet. Our results also highlight the importance of assessing and monitoring vehicle emissions to develop effective air pollution control strategies.
 
Research Implications: The information obtained in this study is unprecedented for the study area, and can therefore support the formulation of environmental policies aimed at reducing emissions of atmospheric pollutants in the state of Pará, thus promoting an improvement in air quality and public health.
 
Originality/Value: This paper makes an unprecedented contribution to national and international literature on environmental pollution in large urban centers. On the eve of the largest climate and environment conference on the planet (COP30) to be held in Pará, Amazonas, this research joins efforts in relation to the monitoring, forecasting and mitigation of air pollution, considered one of the main environmental problems of today.

UJI PENGARUH PUPUK ORGANIK CAIR DARAH SAPI DAN KCl TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN BIBIT KELAPA SAWIT (Elaeis quineensis Jacq) DI PRE-NURSERY
Authors: Mahdalena
Published: October 2024

The growth of oil palm plants is greatly influenced by the availability of nutrients in the soil. The availability of nutrients is determined by the physical, chemical and biological properties of the soil. Marginal soils such as Ultisol have very low levels of nutrient availability. This is caused by intensive weathering processes. Therefore, it is necessary to improve soil fertility. One effort that can be made to improve the fertility of Ultisol soil so that oil palms can grow well is by adding natural fertilizer. Natural fertilizer can come from the use of plant or animal remains. One of them is the use of cow blood waste, this waste has not been widely used as a source of natural fertilizer.
One type of mineral soil that is widely used as a medium for growing seeds is ultisol soil. This happens because this type of soil is spread quite widely in Indonesia. The weakness of Ultisol soil as a growing medium is that this soil generally reacts very acidly. Therefore, to increase the growth of plant seeds, a good growing medium is needed for plants. To create a good growing medium, fertilizer is needed that contains alkaline reacting substances such as Potassium (K). One type of fertilizer that contains potassium is KCl fertilizer (Nugroho, 2000).
      The aim of the research is to determine the effect of liquid organic fertilizer from cow's blood and gamal leaves on the growth of oil palm seedlings. The research was carried out for 20 weeks (5 months) starting from February – June 2024. The research was carried out at the Agrotechnology Experimental Garden at Widya Gama Mahakam University, Samarinda.
            This research was organized in a Randomized Group Design (RAK) with Factorial analysis of 2 factors with 3 replications and obtained 48 polybags as follows: Cow Blood Liquid Organic Fertilizer consisting of 4 levels, namely: D0 (No Control Treatment), D1 (80 mL /L water), D2 (100 mL/L water) D3 (120 mL/L water).   The second factor is KCl (K) fertilizer which consists of 3 levels, namely: K0 (0 g/tan), K1 (0.15 g/tan) and K2 (0.30 g/tan).  Data were analyzed using analysis of variance based on the F test 5% and 1%. If it has a real effect, continue with the 5% BNT test.

Family Farm Resilience during the COVID-19 Pandemic in Indonesia: Case Studies on Organic and Conventional Farming
Authors: Saleh Rahmat , Sitohang Marya Yenita , Ningrum Vanda , Latifa Ade , Ibnu Fitranita , Fatoni Zainal
Published: October 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought additional stressors to Indonesian family farms, which are already subject to drought, flood, landslide, pest attack, and market price fluctuations. This study aims to analyse family farms’ resilience to the stressors caused by the COVID-19 pandemic using Henry’s family resilience model. Applying a qualitative approach, this study collected data using focus group discussions in two villages in East Java and a village in Center Java. The data was analysed using thematic analysis. We discovered that stressors related to the COVID-19 pandemic are lower demand on agricultural products and lower income among farmers. Organic and conventional farmers have different protection and vulnerability factors. Organic farmers are able to reach buyers directly using social media amid COVID-19 restrictions while conventional farmers still rely on sales through middlemen. The adaptive process of farming families is influenced by social psychological factors within the family such as meaning, emotion, control, and maintenance systems. This study suggests that family farmers have to be empowered in terms of their innovative production in current stressors and increase their access to the market as a priority for agricultural extension programmes.
Dining with the Duttons
Authors: Pascual Soler Nieves
Published: October 2024

Since it premiered in June 2018, Yellowstone has become one of the most popular series on television. Because fandom and food go together, given the rise of popular culture cookbooks featuring main courses, sides, appetizers, desserts, and drinks from and inspired by beloved series, it is no surprise that two cookbooks were published recreating what the Duttons eat on Yellowstone. This article investigates the political ideology associated with the food in the two Yellowstone cookbooks. It draws on recent literature in the fields of sociology, psychology, marketing communications, and consumer culture that has explored the relationship between political affiliation and eating behaviours demonstrating that the polarisation of political ideology extends to consumers’ preferences. It postulates that even though Yellowstone fans have been said to lean conservative and the series has been labelled as “red state” and “Republican,” the food in the cookbooks appeals to conservatives and liberals. The paper reviews current research on politics and food values, examines the paratextual relationship that exists between culinary and cinematic texts, and addresses nutrition, taste, and price in the corpus of analysis.
Colonial Conflict and Cultural Symbolism in Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o’s The River Between
Authors: Kaur Sapanpreet
Published: October 2024

The River Between by Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o stands as a pivotal piece in African literature, probing into the intricacies of colonialism, cultural identity, and resistance in colonial Kenya. This article aims to offer a thorough literary-symbolic analysis of Ngũgĩ’s novel, particularly its portrayal of these themes. It focuses on the central symbols and characters, especially the river dividing the Gikuyu community, which represents the conflict between tradition and modernity. The river is used as a significant metaphor for the ideological and cultural rifts within the community. It symbolises both the physical and metaphorical separation between Kameno and Makuyu ridges, encapsulating the struggle to balance indigenous beliefs with colonial influences. The characters Waiyaki and Nyambura are analysed as representations of this tension, highlighting the personal and societal conflicts encountered while navigating between tradition and progress. Additionally, the circumcision ritual is discussed as a vital symbol of Gikuyu cultural identity and its role in the broader conflict between traditionalists and advocates of Westernisation. Through meticulous textual analysis and historical context, the article elucidates Ngũgĩ’s strategic use of language and symbolism to critique colonialism and celebrate the resilience of indigenous cultures. Thus, by integrating literary analysis with historical insights, the paper achieves a nuanced understanding of the novel’s themes, demonstrating how The River Between invites reflection on the complexities of cultural identity and resistance in the face of colonial oppression.
Municipal Performance and the Utilisation of the King IV Governance Report in South African Municipalities
Authors: Mamokhere John
Published: October 2024

Since 1994, South Africa has made progress in consolidating its democracy. However, in post-apartheid constitutional democracy, there has been growing concern about the government’s incapacity to render public services to its constituencies. In 2002, the King II report on corporate governance in South Africa was issued with the intention of “promoting the highest standards of corporate governance in South Africa.” The characteristics of corporate governance in the report included transparency, discipline, accountability, independence, fairness, responsibility, and social responsibility while the King IV report was underpinned by 17 principles. Based on these King codes and concerns, the study intends to examine whether the King IV report governance outcomes of 2016 can be used for the benefit of South African municipalities. To realise this objective, the study employed a qualitative research approach in the form of document reviews. Theoretically, the study is underpinned by the elements of the King IV report. The reason for adopting the King IV report is because it is the first code that is outcomes-based and allows the municipalities to see benefits if implemented accurately. The study reveals that there is persistent poor service delivery caused by unethical practices and poor governance in South African municipalities. The study proposes that South African municipalities should embrace the corporate governance principles outlined in the King IV report to mitigate risks such as corruption through the implementation of effective control measures, reduce political interference by ensuring the presence of balanced check mechanisms, and uphold legitimacy by adhering to government policies and laws.

This article delves into the cultural significance of Zulu war chants, known as amahubo, and their transformative power. These chants embody ideals crucial to Zulu identity, such as unity, patriotism, loyalty, and dignity, making them profound musical expressions. They represent the vibrant cultural, social, and historical dimensions of the Zulu personality. Through qualitative content analysis and a review of existing literature, this article uncovers the rich tapestry of amahubo. Drawing on communicative theory, it argues that preserving cultural elements is vital for societal vibrancy. The article analyses how traditions, values, and practices are transmitted across generations, ensuring cultural continuity. It highlights the dynamic evolution of amahubo, showing their pivotal role in shaping Zulu cultural identity, especially among the youth. Beyond their historical function, these war chants serve as platforms for addressing contemporary social issues, becoming vehicles for social commentary and engagement.

This research contributes to a nuanced understanding of amahubo as dynamic expressions of cultural continuity and agency within the Zulu community, bridging the past, present, and future as vibrant carriers of Zulu cultural heritage.
La "dissolution" paradoxale du sujet dans la période nietzschéenne de la "maturité"
Authors: Quérini Nicolas
Published: October 2024

In Nietzsche's "mature" texts, we are witnessing a complete dissolution of the subject. At first glance, however, this appears highly paradoxical (Wotling 2015), leading some commentators to suggest that there is a real contradiction in Nietzsche's work (Gardner 2009), insofar as the author never ceases to speak of himself and at the same time invites his reader to become who he is. Are we to understand, then, that any self is illusory and constitutes a metaphysical illusion, i.e., that the becoming in which we are always caught according to Nietzsche must make any position of a self impossible, and at the very least diminishing? Following in the footsteps of Alexander Nehamas (1985), we believe that we can overcome the contradiction identified by S. Gardner by showing that Nietzsche's conception of the self is not "realistic", but precisely also fictional and dynamically positive at the same time.
Sortir du nihilisme : Nietzsche, Mill et l’individualité comme clé de transformation morale et civilisationnelle
Authors: Dejardin Camille
Published: October 2024

Nietzsche’s criticism of the masses could have looked hackneyed at the end of the XIXth century, had it not the originality of moving onto psychological and biological levels what others previously elaborated only at a social scale: a "herd instinct" explaining both the lack of social cohesion and the loss of possible individual affirmation in democratic and egalitarian ages. As he sees the utilitarian promotion of happiness and empathy as part of the problem, he fiercely condemns John Stewart Mill’s philosophy – as he understands it. Our point is to throw into relief that Mill’s theory of individuality is but closer to Nietzsche’s views for regenerating life against the spreading of democratic "nihilism". Our cross-reading of Mill and Nietzsche therefore aims at offering a reassessment of their antagonism and at highlighting ways of overcoming "nihilism" via culture and cultivation of the "character" and the individual surpassing of oneself.

Bu çalışmada, Borsa İstanbul (BİST) Geri Alım Endeksinde (XUGRA) yer alan şirketlerin borsa performans oranlarının, endekste listelenmeye başladığı tarihten önceki ve sonraki getirilerine etkisi değerlendirilmiştir. Endeksin hesaplanmaya başladığı tarih olan 15 Ağustos 2023 tarihi dikkate alınmıştır. Panel ARDL-PMG tekniği kullanılarak piyasa çarpanlarının getiri üzerindeki hem kısa dönemdeki hem de uzun dönemdeki etkileri incelenmiştir. Yapılan analiz sonuçlarına göre, 15 Ağustos 2023 öncesi, uzun dönemde sadece Piyasa Değeri/Defter Değeri (PD) değişkeni getiri oranını negatif olarak etkilemektedir. Kısa dönemde ise PD ile getiri oranı arasında pozitif ilişki vardır. 15 Ağustos 2023 sonrası için ise PD değişkeni uzun dönemde getiri oranını negatif etkilerken, kısa dönemde pozitif etkilemektedir. Şirket Değeri/Faiz, Amortisman ve Vergi Öncesi Kar (ŞD/FAVÖK) arttıkça uzun dönemde getiri oranı azalmaktadır. Ayrıca Fiyat/Kazanç oranı (FK) artışı kısa dönemde getiri oranını artırmaktadır. Getiri oranını etkileyen faktörler tüm veri için incelendiğinde ise PD ve ŞD/FAVÖK arttıkça getiri oranı uzun dönemde azalmaktadır. Kısa dönemde ise getiri oranını etkileyen tek faktör PD’dir ve bu değişkenin getiri oranı üzerinde pozitif bir etkisi vardır.
Letters of Historians of the 2nd Half of the 20th Century as a Channel of Scholarly and Business Communications (Based on Letters from Siberia to the Capital)
Authors: Matkhanova N. P.
Published: October 2024

The article analyzes the letters of specialists in Russian history of the 17th – 19th centuries who sent correspondences to their colleagues in Moscow. The reason these letters are being analyzed is because, due to the distance and communication methods available at the time, correspondence was the main way for Siberian scholars to communicate with the representatives of the important scientific centers, to stay updated on the latest research trends and discoveries. During this era, authors were comparatively unrestricted in their statements, and their internal and external interactions were diverse and significant. Historians from Siberia and Moscow used to correspond on scientific and organizational matters through letters. The topics of discussions included participation in scientific conferences, invitations, opportunities for business trips, publications, cooperation, and reviews. The scholars shared their professional thoughts, ideas, and plans, characterized the sources they found and analyzed, expressed hypotheses and explained preliminary conclusions, reported the outcomes of research, and sometimes talked about the progress in their research projects and the development in their understanding of scientific problems. The letters often described events in the scientific careers of the authors. The content and emotional tone of the correspondence were significantly influenced by the author's character and relationship with the addressee. The letters often contained information of both scientific and personal nature. Sometimes, Siberian scientists requested assistance and help from their colleagues from the capital. The article concludes that letters were a reliable and effective communication channel among the professional community of historians. They were used to convey scientific, business, and occasionally personal information. The recipients of these letters were typically scholars from Moscow who were older in age and higher in status. As a reference group, they played a significant role in determining the specifics of the letters addressed to them.
“The Foreman Judges for Money, the Clerk Writes for Wine”: Abuses of Power by Officials of the Peasant Self-Government of the Tomsk Governorate on the Pages of the Newspaper “Altai Life” (1911–1914)
Authors: Reznikova M. A.
Published: October 2024

The author examines the problem of authority abuse by officials of peasant self-government bodies in the Tomsk Governorate. While numerous studies have explored this topic, they have usually relied on statistical reports and materials from ethnographic expeditions as primary sources. Unfortunately, periodicals have been underutilized as historical sources due to the challenges of collecting and processing substantial amounts of information. Consequently, valuable insights into the maladministration of local authorities have been overlooked, as newspapers contain a wealth of related data. To address this gap, the author of the article studied all 1 111 issues of the daily newspaper “Life of Altai” from 1911 to 1914. Among these issues, 109 (10 %) contained publications about officials, including volost foremen, volost clerks, village headmen, village clerks, sotskii, and desyatskii. Only five of these notes had positive characteristics, while the rest discussed minor shortcomings and gross violations. The article concludes that the newspaper’s accusatory publications drew attention to the problem of providing personnel for local peasant selfgovernment. Officials were forced to publish refutations and adjust their behavior to maintain their positions. In cases of gross and repeated abuses, higher authorities ordered inspections, the results of which, as a rule, dismissed the peasants from their positions. The author proved that the newspaper “Life of Altai” was an effective means of combating abuses by rural and volost officials.
