Job satisfaction and subjective well-being of law enforcement officers
Authors: Strelnikova Yulia
Published: December 2023

Introduction. The article deals with the job satisfaction, subjective well-being, basic beliefs and stressful life of law enforcement officers. The relevance of the study is determined by the need to analyse the factors influencing police officers’ positive self-perception in order to improve their psychological health, subjective well-being as well as police officers service.

Methods. The participants of the study were 60 law enforcement officers, aged 30.21 ± 5.30 serving 7.2 ± 8.41 years in the Russian police. The research methods include an anonymous questionnaire, “Methodology of diagnostics of integral job satisfaction”, “Scale of subjective well-being”, “Satisfaction with life scale”, “Subjective happiness scale”, “Personal beliefs scale”, “Stressfulness of life”. Statistical processing of the results was carried out by methods of a descriptive, comparative and correlation analysis.

Results. The study found that 34% of police officers are characterised by a high and moderate level of stress, low life satisfaction, belief that people around them are unfriendly, as well as a low level of subjective happiness. 40% of police officers believe that they are not always able to control their life events, 16% have low confidence in success, 12% of respondents consider the world around them to be unfair, and 10% are convinced of their inability to cope with their life difficulties. Police officers’ satisfaction with their professional activity and career achievements decreases rapidly along with age and work experience. Their social contacts become more limited. Too much stress and unfair punishment reduce the feeling of well-being and job satisfaction. Subjective well-being is positively correlated with basic beliefs about the world’s friendliness and fairness, self-esteem, good fortune, and self-control. Satisfaction with life and the level of health are high among people whose importance of the performed duties prevails over the amount of rewards. In order to increase subjective well-being and job satisfaction of police officers, methods of positive psychology, cognitive-behavioural, rational-emotive, pathogenetic psychotherapy, body-oriented, client-centred, and gestalt therapy can be used.
A modern view on the problem of urgent addiction in law enforcement officers
Authors: Aligaeva Nigar
Published: December 2023

Introduction. Scientific and technological progress and the development of information technologies have contributed to the worship of «speed» in achieving professional goals. The specificity of service in law enforcement agencies requires constant physical and mental overload, fulfilment of tasks in the shortest possible time, which leads to the emergence of subjective feeling of lack of time, and subsequently to the development of serious addiction, professional burn-out. The issue of implementation of preventive measures among law enforcement officers is acute, so there is a need to study the views of modern researchers on this problem.

Research methods. Theoretical analysis of modern literary sources and studies on this theme and a survey of 50 employees of FCU IK-2 of the Federal Penitentiary Institution of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia in the Ryazan region using a specially designed questionnaire were conducted.

Results. On the basis of theoretical analysis we have identified the main stages of formation of urgent addiction in law enforcement officers and its consequences for professional activity and personal life of a person. Urgent addiction can lead to mental and physical exhaustion, development of emotional burnout, professional deformation, various forms of destructive behaviour (including suicidal), which violates human security and his ability to adapt to changing conditions of life. Timely diagnosis and implementation of preventive measures (organisational, educational, social, medical, psychological) can eliminate the preconditions for the development of this form of addiction. The study of individual-psychological features of law enforcement officers capable of preventing the formation of urgent addiction (value orientations, purposefulness, positive attitude to the future, ability to maintain balance, regulatory properties of personality) is a possible direction for further research.
Specifics of professionally important qualities of deputy platoon commanders of higher education institutions of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia
Authors: Rosina Yulia , Gornostaev Stanislav
Published: December 2023

Introduction. The successful functioning of the cadet training unit is directly related to the management of their team members. Achievement of good performance is also ensured through the tutorial work of the deputy platoon commander, selected from the ranks of the cadets. The activity of the deputy platoon commander and the necessity for certain personal qualities in it are influenced by the specifics of the departmental university, the duality of the position in the hierarchy of service, some socio-psychological characteristics of students and their personal qualities. Research purpose: to identify a set of psychological characteristics that improve the effectiveness of deputy platoon commanders of educational organizations of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia based on the assessments of the qualified experts. Theoretical framework of the study is a review of publications devoted to the issues of professionally significant qualities and training of junior commanders in higher education institutions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia, Federal Drug Control Service of Russia, Ministry of Defense of Russia, as well as related studies concerning deputy platoon commanders of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia.

Methods. An anonymous questionnaire survey on two blanks was used to identify the psychological characteristics of deputy platoon commanders. The total sample of respondents was 362 individuals (22 individuals were employees of training and combat units of faculties, 49 participants were deputy platoon commanders, and 291 participants were cadets).

The result of the study is a description of the deputy platoon commander training in educational organizations of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia by the following characteristic: a responsible leader with well-developed communicative skills, characterized by diligence, stress resistance in a conflict, self-confidence, disciplining and justice. Thus, a number of psychological qualities are typical for a junior commander of a departmental university, which include responsibility, leadership qualities, communication skills, self-confidence, and disciplining. Key qualities for a deputy platoon commander of an educational organization of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia are stress resistance in a conflict and justice.
Key areas of development of security police in the book “Police Law” by I. E. Andreevsky
Authors: Dizer Oleg , Abdulmanova Irina
Published: December 2023

Introduction: the article examines the principal areas of security police development in the work of Russian professor I. E. Andreevsky “Police Law”. The authors study the types of dangers emerging in the country and the measures aimed at their prevention. In particular, insecurity, the occurrence of which directly depends on the human will, as well as what is independent of the human will.

The purpose of the article is to identify the main group of insecurity arising in the system of public administration and social development, highlighted in I.E. Andreevsky’s book “Police Law”.

Methods: the study is based on “Police Law” and a number of additional works of I.E. Andreevsky, which allowed to provide a sufficient analysis of theoretical aspects of the security police development.

Methodologically, the research is based on a tradition of complex and systematic approaches to the analysis of historical sources. The research methods include a variety of general scientific (analysis, synthesis, systematisation) and particular scientific (comparative-legal, comparative-historical, and axiological) methods of scientific cognition.

The results of the study reveal the main areas of the security police development, highlighted by I. E. Andreevsky, and characterise the features of the preventive measures aimed at eliminating different dangers that impede the effective state and social development.

Conclusion: the system of preventive measures to reduce dangers designed by I. E. Andreevsky launched the scientific justification of the principles of law enforcement system humanisation in Russia.
International lawmaking as a determinant of improving the legal regulation of public procurement for the needs of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs system
Authors: Minnigulova Dinara
Published: December 2023

Introduction. International lawmaking is a source of a legal regulation of public procurement.

Nevertheless, a defining of the system and the specifics of international agreements is required, regulating public procurement in the system of Russian legislative sources in this area, as well as the role of various international collaborations in determining the key aspects of the improvement of legislation on procurement for public needs (including the needs of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs system).

Methods. Content analysis, descriptive and systemic methods of data analysis were used as research methods.

Results. The characterization of international lawmaking and international organizations’ initiatives in the field of public procurement provides the following main conclusions.

1. General provisions on procurement are contained in the universal and regional model (CIN), standard (UNCITRAL) and plurilateral (WTO) agreements, i.e. in the indicative and advisory instruments.

The scientific discussion on the international regulation of public procurement is that the specifics of such relations do not provide for the creation of rigid norms at the cross-border level, as they affect national public order. At the same time, these acts reflect modern trends, for instance, the digitalization of state (municipal) procurement, etc. This fact proves that international lawmaking is an obvious determinant of improving the legal regulation of public procurement, including the needs of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs system.

2. The private aspects of the public procurement process are fragmentarily regularized by special international agreements.

3. There are also no separate international organizations in the field of public procurement, at the same time, all cross-border trade and economic organizations do not ignore the issues of ensuring public needs and form the norms of the «soft» law. Thus, international lawmaking determines the directions of improving the legal regulation of public procurement for the needs of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs system in the same way as any other public procurement, but with consideration of the specifics of ensuring the powers of the public body in question.
The concept and content of the private legal regime
Authors: Semenova Ekaterina
Published: December 2023

Introduction. As an element of legal regulation, private legal regime is a legal category, the concept of which is regarded ambiguously in doctrine and depends on the general understanding of the category «legal regime». Socio-economic, political changes in society are accompanied by changes in the nature of social relations, requiring proper legal regulation in the area of private interest protection.

Methods. On the basis of the analysis of definitions of legal regime formulated in the theory of law, a generalised approach to the understanding of private legal regime was developed. The application of formal legal method made it possible to reveal the concept and specific features of the private legal regime. The system-structural method was used to determine the significance of legal means (ways, methods, principles, types of legal regulation) in the structure of private legal regime. The application of modelling enabled to reveal the effectiveness of private legal regulation of public relations.

Results. The concept and essential features of private legal regime are identified; the model of private legal regime as a variable combination of a complex of legal means determining the orientation of private legal regulation of property and personal non-property relations based on equality, autonomy of will and material independence of their participants is defined.
Development of scientific knowledge on forensic forecasting
Authors: Akiev Arbi
Published: December 2023

Introduction. One of the tasks assigned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation is to analyse the criminogenic situation and forecast crime. In solving this task, the achievements of various sciences are used, including criminalistics, which, based on the results of research, not only provides options for the possible development of certain criminal events, but also makes it possible to develop forecasts in the field of improving forensic means and methods of combating crime.

Methods. The methodological basis of the study is based on dialectical, logical, systemic, as well as a number of other methods of scientific cognition: analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, comparison, generalisation, description. The historical method played a significant role.

Results. The analysis of scientific literature indicates the most notable stages of formation of the private theory of forensic forecasting, as well as the results achieved by forensic scientists in its development. The existing scientific approaches to the system of the theory of criminalistic forecasting are demonstrated; its theoretical and practical significance is substantiated, as well as the need for further theoretical development taking into account modern achievements and development of the general theory and other sections of criminology. Modern tasks in the field of forensic forecasting are formulated.
Książka obrazkowa o wojnie jako kulturowy artefakt o politycznym potencjale. Analiza przypadku
Authors: Cackowska Małgorzata
Published: December 2023

W artykule, wykorzystując metodę krytycznej analizy treści (critical content analysis), dokonuję studium przypadku książki obrazkowej dla dzieci Wojna, która zmieniła Rondo autorstwa ukraińskich artystów Romany Romanyszyn i Andrija Łesiwa wydanej w oryginale w 2015 roku we Lwowie jako artystyczną odpowiedź na inwazję Rosji na Ukrainę i aneksję Krymu. Książkę postrzegam jako tekst kulturowy (artefakt) o politycznym znaczeniu (element wojny informacyjnej), osadzony w szerszym społeczno-historyczno-kulturowo-politycznym kontekście. Analizowany jest nie tylko sam utwór, ale także liczne epiteksty wytworzone wokół niego (zamieszczone w internecie wywiady z artystami, blogi, recenzje i opinie). Perspektywą teoretyczną analiz i interpretacji znaczeń wytwarzanych multimodalnie w samym utworze (za pomocą obrazu i tekstu oraz relacji między nimi) oraz wykorzystanych danych wtórnych jest historycyzm i postkolonializm (w wersji używanej przez Mykołę Riabczuka). Analiza pokazuje, że w dyskursie imperialnym utwór (i jego założenie) jest egzemplifikacją ambiwalencji pomiędzy głosem emancypacji Ukraińców z rosyjskiej hegemonii kulturowej i jednocześnie włączania się w nurt uniwersalizmu zachodniego.
Mitologia Shuar w perspektywie postkolonialnej na przykładzie książki Etsa
Authors: Wierucka Aleksandra
Published: December 2023

Mity prezentowane w formie książki obrazkowej mogą wzbudzić zainteresowanie kulturą, z której pochodzą. Pełnią również ważną rolę edukacyjną w zapoznawaniu dzieci i młodzieży z perspektywą rdzennych mieszkańców globu. Niniejszy artykuł zajmuje się analizą i interpretacją książki obrazkowej zatytułowanej Etsa, która bazuje na jednym z najważniejszych mitów Shuar - rdzennej grupy z Ekwadoru. Tego typu książka mogłaby być włączona do programu szkoły podstawowej, ponieważ zapoznawałaby uczniów w różnorodnością kulturową i praktykami kulturowymi charakterystycznymi dla grupy Shuar. Postkolonialna i perpektywistyczna analiza pokazuje jednak, że w tej pozycji - tak samo jak w wielu innych - rdzenne mity pełne znaczeń są przekształcone proste opowiastki nie przenoszące ważnych rdzennych wartości kulturowych. Jeden z najważniejszych mitów Shuar o personifikacji Słońca stała się tu historią o chłopcu, który bezwolnie podąża za demonem i nie rozumie rzeczywistości, w jakiej się znalazł. Książka określana jako prezentująca mit Shuar nie powinna być wykorzystywana w nauce szkolonej, ponieważ nie spełnia obietnicy założonej już w tytule.
Postapokalipsa w Krótkich Gatkach, czyli jak przygotować dzieci na (każdą) katastrofę
Authors: Łapiński Paweł
Published: December 2023

Literatura dystopijna, również w wydaniu obrazkowym, od lat stanowi stały podgatunek kultury popularnej. O ile jednak na rynku nie brakuje dystopijnych, głównie postapokaliptycznych, utworów dla dorosłych czy starszej młodzieży (young adults), o wiele rzadziej obierają tę konwencję autorzy literatury kierowanej jednoznacznie do młodszego, dziecięcego czytelnika. Jednym z niewielu wyjątków jest autorska, ośmioczęściowa seria komiksowa Marcina Podolca Bajka na końcu świata opublikowana w latach 2017–2023 przez Kulturę Gniewu. Jej bohaterkami są dziewczynka Wiktoria i jej psia przyjaciółka Bajka, które wędrują przez „świat po wielkim wybuchu”, czyli wymarłe i zniszczone krainy pełne wszelkiego rodzaju anomalii w zakresie fauny, flory oraz zjawisk fizycznych. Na poziomie fabularnym wizja przedstawiona w kolejnych częściach serii czerpie pełnymi garściami z posępnego repertuaru postapokaliptycznych wizji znanych z literatury czy filmów dla dorosłych odbiorców. W artykule podjęta zostaje próba prześledzenia w jaki sposób autor scenariusza i rysunków opowiada przygody Wiktorii i Bajki w tym zniszczonym i budzącym grozę świecie w złagodzonej formie dopasowanej do percepcji dziecięcego odbiorcy.
Problemy rodzinne zobrazowane we współczesnych bajkach animowanych
Authors: Antosik Joanna
Published: December 2023

Bajki animowane od lat pozwalają przeżywać najmłodszym niezwykłe przygody ze swoimi ulubionymi bohaterami. Kształtują światopogląd, pozwalając dzieciom utożsamiać się z postaciami, które tak jak one doświadczają zarówno radosnych, jak i trudnych wydarzeń. Bajki nie unikają przedstawiania trudności życia codziennego, zwłaszcza pojawiających się w obrębie fundamentalnej grupy społecznej, jaką jest rodzina. Niniejszy artykuł prezentuje wyniki badań, których celem było rozpoznanie i scharakteryzowanie problemów rodzinnych obrazowanych we współczesnych bajkach animowanych. Zastosowano metodę zbiorowego studium indywidualnych przypadków przy wykorzystaniu techniki analizy dokumentów. Szczegółowa analiza 20 bajek animowanych ukazuje przestrzeń rodzinną uwikłaną w różnorodne trudności, które wynikają między innymi z nieprawidłowej komunikacji między członkami rodziny. Rodzice obrazowani w bajkach animowanych borykają się z problemami zawodowymi, a także popełniają wiele błędów wychowawczych, polegających na nadmiernym chronieniu dziecka i przesadnych wymaganiach mu stawianych. Brak akceptacji młodego człowieka, jego pasji, marzeń generuje częste występowanie sytuacji konfliktowych w rodzinach. Problemy rodzinne ukazywane w bajkach animowanych dla najmłodszych w znaczącym stopniu odzwierciedlają życiową codzienność współczesnych rodzin. Trudności prezentowane są w sposób uproszczony, dostosowany do możliwości młodych odbiorców, którzy w trakcie toczącej się akcji mają możliwość identyfikacji z bohaterami przeżywającymi podobne problemy.
Obrazem – o dźwięku. Książki obrazkowe dla dzieci kształtujące aktywną postawę wobec audiosfery
Authors: Sasin Magdalena Karolina
Published: December 2023

Artykuł zawiera analizę wybranych książek obrazkowych dla dzieci odnoszących się do zagadnienia dźwięku i audiosfery, dokonaną w celu stwierdzenia możliwości ich zastosowania w edukacji z zakresu ekologii akustycznej. Edukacja ta, zgodnie z założeniami sformułowanymi w latach 60. XX w. przez Raymonda Murraya Schafera, powinna rozwijać wrażliwość na dźwięki, świadomość złożoności audiosfery i odpowiedzialności za nią. Zastosowano metodę analizy treści w ramach badań jakościowych, w badaniu materiałów wizualnych odnosząc się do obszarów dotyczących obiektu i odbiorczości. Stwierdzono, że książki obrazkowe sugestywnie przedstawiają zagadnienia związane z dźwiękiem bez korzystania z nagrań czy zapisu nutowego. Rozbudzają wyobraźnię i pobudzają kreatywność. Dźwięki wyobrażone czy tworzone przez dzieci w czasie lektury stają się trzecim, obok obrazu i słowa, medium tworzącym książkę. Niewerbalność obrazu zbliża go do świata dźwięków i sprzyja edukacji estetycznej, ujawniając potencjał książek obrazkowych do przekraczania granic dziedzin sztuki. Analizowane publikacje dają wiele możliwości interakcji między dzieckiem a dorosłym, wspierającym proces lektury, i sprzyjają rozbudzaniu wrażliwości na audiosferę także u dorosłego. Obecność takiej tematyki wpisuje się w istotną tendencję traktowania małego czytelnika jako zdolnego do refleksji na tematy o globalnym znaczeniu.
Wychowanie "dzieci trudnych" w koncepcji Jana Kuchty
Authors: Grudziński Andrzej
Published: December 2023

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie poglądów Jana Kuchty – pedagoga okresu międzywojennego – na temat wychowania dzieci trudnych: zuchwałych i włóczęgów. Zaprezentowane treści wpisują się w obszar badawczy historii wychowania, a także pedeutologii historycznej. Przeprowadzona analiza i interpretacja publikacji pedagogicznych Kuchty została przeprowadzona z pomocą metodologii badań historyczno-pedagogicznych. W artykule, oprócz zarysu biografii naukowej Kuchty, zaprezentowano sposób rozumienia przez niego pojęcia „dzieci trudne”, a także charakterystykę dzieci zuchwałych oraz dzieci włóczęgów. Opisywany autor dużą wagę przywiązywał do analizy zachowań dzieci zuchwałych, tworząc na jej podstawie propozycje oddziaływań wychowawczych na terenie szkoły. Z kolei w przypadku dzieci włóczęgów istotne dla Kuchty było poznanie przyczyn włóczęgostwa. Dopiero na tej podstawie proponował określone działania o charakterze wychowawczym, o których skuteczności miało decydować przede wszystkim podmiotowe traktowanie dzieci przez wychowawców i nauczycieli oraz tworzenie życzliwej atmosfery wychowawczej. Postulowanym efektem końcowym wychowywania dzieci trudnych miało być przywrócenie ich do życia w społeczeństwie oraz przygotowanie do kierowania się w postępowaniu wartościami ogólnoludzkimi, narodowymi, państwowymi i religijnymi.
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in a Saphenous Vein Graft Failure: A Case Report
Authors: Jim Edmond L.
Published: December 2023

Abstract: Recent published data from the Society of Thoracic Surgery (STS) national database displayed that among patients aged >65 years old who survived following an initial coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) operation, rates of repeat revascularization at 1, 5, 10, and 18 years were 2%, 8%, 16%, and 25%, respectively. The most preferred mode of revascularization was percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). While remain the most frequently used conduits beside left internal mammary artery (LIMA), saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) have high failure rates. Percutaneous coronary intervention in SVGs is associated with an increased risk of distal coronary embolization, commonly resulting in periprocedural MI. We reported a 79-year-old male patient admitted due to progressive symptoms of chronic coronary syndrome. The patient had a history of hypertension and a CABG surgery in 2012. Electrocardiogram showed ischemia and old myocardial infarction (OMI) in inferior leads as well as poor R wave progression in the precordial leads. Transthoracic echocardiogram displayed a normal ejection fraction but impaired left ventricular (LV) diastolic relaxation. Diagnostic coronary angiography revealed a 70% tubular stenosis in proximal part of SVG supplying posterior descending artery, patent LIMA graft to left anterior descending artery, and complex lesion on native vessel (chronic total occlusion in mid right coronary artery). Implantation of drug eluting stent in SVG-posterior descending artery was performed. Direct-stenting PCI technique using undersized-stent was done to prevent any complications. In conclusion, despite the high risk of complications, vein graft intervention was successfully performed without any complications. Since the high rates of in-stent restenosis following PCI in SVGs, long-term dual antiplatelet therapy should be commenced in this patient.
Keywords: saphenous vein graft; vein graft intervention; percutaneous coronary intervention
Black Genius Flexin’: The Radical Potential of a Dreams Assessment in Participatory Research
Authors: Henderson Dawn X , McLaughlin Courtney , Page Denise , Spencer Joy , Porter Nadiah , Mays Regina , Barrie Rabiatu
Published: December 2023

The devastation of COVID-19 and racial violence in 2020 suffocated the dream potential of Black families in North Carolina. That same year, Village of Wisdom (VOW) received rapid funding and leveraged this funding to support an inaugural group of five self-identified Black mothers, aka “mommas,” to serve as Parent Researchers. These mommas, trained in participatory research, would embark upon a project to understand the needs of Black students, their parents, and teachers during COVID-19 and challenges associated with remote learning. The Dreams Assessment then emerged as a communal assessment to activate the dream potentials of the mommas, VOW, and spark a movement of amplifying Black parent wisdom as co-authors of research, co-designers, and creators. This paper uses storytelling to reflect on conducting the Dreams Assessment from the perspective of those Black mommas and the “other” mothers and centers communal weaving through shared discoveries and lessons learned. The authors offer the Dreams Assessment as a radical and reimagined participatory research approach from a community-driven and liberatory lens.
Conectando la historia de la educación. Tendencias internacionales en la investigación y difusión del conocimiento
Authors: Hernández Huerta José Luis
Published: December 2023

El libro que tiene el lector en sus manos es fruto del trabajo desarrollado en los últimos años al amparo del proyecto de investigación I+D+i Connecting History of Education. Redes internacionales, producción científica y difusión global (ref.: PID2019-105328GB-I00), financiado por el Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación del Gobierno de España. En él, investigadores e investigadoras de España, Italia, Grecia, el Reino Unido, Suiza, Australia, Brasil y Chile hemos intentado mapear, cartografiar y analizar en el último cuarto de siglo los espacios de producción y socialización del conocimiento histórico-educativo, las sociedades científicas, las revistas académicas y los congresos y encuentros científicos de historia de la educación de la forma más global posible. La idea de «conectar» e identificar puntos de encuentro, temas, períodos y espacios de construcción de conocimiento y socialización de este es el leitmotiv que nos ha impulsado a ello. En el siglo XXI no tiene ningún sentido que nuestras investigaciones no se construyan en red y de manera colaborativa. Esta obra colectiva está estructurada en tres grandes bloques: 1) Agentes, espacios y herramientas: contiene trabajos que abordan de una manera global el panorama histórico-educativo en cuanto a revistas y sociedades científicas, así como las aportaciones que las TIC y la inteligencia artificial pueden comportar a la hora de trabajar en red. 2) Territorios: se estructura en torno a los estudios que atienden a análisis globales en diferentes áreas geográficas de producción del conocimiento histórico-educativo. 3) Temáticas: estudia la producción y la evolución historiográfica, durante los últimos veinticinco años, de temas histórico-educativos clave que pueden proporcionar elementos de reflexión y análisis para los retos educativos actuales.
Telerilevamento mediante l’ausilio di Google Earth Engine per il monitoraggio del consumo del suolo e della riduzione del verde urbano: un caso studio nel Casertano
Authors: Mauro Giovanni , De Felice Pierluigi , Caiazzo Stefania , Lodato Francesco , De Simone Claudio Sossio
Published: December 2023

In un mondo dove la prevalenza delle persone vivono in aree urbane, il fenomeno dell’urban sprawl costituisce una delle emergenze ambientali, economiche e sociali del nostro tempo. Tra le numerose realtà italiane in cui si è assistito nelle ultime decadi ad una diffusione urbana alquanto rilevante, il contributo prende in esame il caso di Caserta e del suo territorio contermine. Mediante l’utilizzo di immagini satellitari a media ed elevata risoluzione spaziale (Landsat, Sentinel e KH-9 Hexagon) e con il supporto della piattaforma di Google Earth Engine, si sono analizzati i principali cambiamenti dell’uso del suolo intervenuti nella conurbazione casertana a partire dagli anni Ottanta, fino ad oggi. Lavorando a due scale diverse (topografica e locale), si sono messi in evidenza il rilevante consumo del suolo e la contemporanea “intensificazione urbana” dell’area oggetto di studio; tali fenomeni sono stati prevalentemente determinati dallo sviluppo di zone residenziali, industriali e commerciali, a scapito delle aree coltivate e delle aree verdi poste in prossimità della conurbazione o all’interno della città capoluogo. Se in una prima fase l’incremento delle aree artificiali risponde ad una precisa domanda connessa all’aumento della popolazione residente, la crescita urbana delle ultime due decadi trova risposte più complesse. In un territorio ricchissimo in termini di beni culturali e di eccellenze agroindustriali, i ritardi sistematici della pianificazione territoriale e l’usuale prospettiva comunale per risolvere le priorità di intervento in un’area decisamente più estesa si traducono in un’attenzione insufficiente ai servizi da offrire ai cittadini nella quotidianità, quali trasporto pubblico locale e verde urbano realmente usufruibile.
I tamburi di bronzo del Museo delle Civiltà di Roma e il loro valore culturale
Authors: Cosentino Francesco
Published: December 2023

Nel 1885 il naturalista ed esploratore italiano Leonardo Fea compì un viaggio di studio in Birmania della durata di quattro anni. Al suo ritorno in Italia, Fea portò con sé importanti collezioni di insetti, uccelli ed altri animali, ma anche numerosi oggetti di interesse etnografico, tra cui alcuni tamburi di bronzo, di cui aveva avuto modo di osservare dal vivo l’impiego durante un soggiorno nelle regioni Karen di quel paese. I tamburi furono venduti nel maggio 1889 al Regio Museo Preistorico ed Etnografico, fondato a Roma dal professor Luigi Pigorini.

Dopo diversi decenni di quiescenza, detti tamburi vennero successivamente affidati al Museo Nazionale delle Arti Orientali (MNAOR), che nel 1980 pubblicò uno studio che li illustrava. Il successivo trasferimento delle collezioni del MNAOR al Museo delle Civiltà (MUCIV) di Roma, di recente istituzione, ebbe però l'effetto di oscurare ancora una volta la rilevanza di tali oggetti, con la temporanea dispersione di ogni informazione ad essi relativa. Una recente rassegna dei reperti, effettuata dallo scrivente, ha permesso di ricostruirne le vicende, integrando lo studio del 1980 con alcune nuove conoscenze acquisite nel frattempo da parte dei ricercatori internazionali.

Per apprezzare appieno il valore di questi oggetti emblematici tuttavia è necessario attingere a un vasto repertorio di teorie, metodi e reperti che appartengono ai campi dell'archeologia, dell'etnografia e dell'antropologia culturale. Di tali prospettive si occupa più ampiamente la seconda parte dell'articolo, volta a delineare alcune suggestive ipotesi relative alla diffusione e all'uso di questi particolari strumenti musicali. I quali, va sottolineato, esprimono un particolare significato culturale; hanno una storia di quasi venticinque secoli; sono stati prodotti in migliaia di esemplari e distribuiti attraverso un vastissimo quadrante geografico, che abbraccia la Cina meridionale, la Penisola Indocinese e l'Arcipelago Indonesiano.
Le nuove categorie di analisi della dinamica globale/locale. Un contributo al dibattito sulle Global Production Networks
Authors: Gemmiti Roberta , Benetti Stefania , Certomà Chiara , Martellozzo Federico
Published: December 2023

L’articolo indaga la categoria geografico-economica delle Global Production Networks (GPNs), soprattutto con riferimento alla sua capacità di cogliere gli aspetti critici del rapporto tra capitale multinazionale e sviluppo regionale. Dopo aver brevemente inquadrato le GPNs nella letteratura sulle configurazioni globali della produzione, verranno messi a fuoco alcuni aspetti controversi di questo concetto, peraltro messi in luce in alcuni significativi dibattiti interni alla geografia economica. Si tratta in particolare dell’attenzione che gli studi che si inquadrano in questa corrente riservano alle questioni delle asimmetrie del potere e delle relazioni ecologiche nel rapporto globale/locale.  Per ribadire l’urgenza di dedicarsi a questo tipo di analisi, pena la non tenuta analitica della categoria delle reti globali, in questo paper si descrivono alcuni aspetti salienti dei conflitti ambientali, così come questi compaiono nel repository internazionale dell’Atlante sulla Giustizia Ambientale (EJAtlas).
L’iniziativa “case a un euro” contro la marginalità territoriale in Italia: mercificazione o rivitalizzazione?
Authors: Delon Margot , Graziano Teresa
Published: December 2023

Il contributo esplora criticamente una strategia di rivalorizzazione territoriale di paesi in via di spopolamento molto in voga negli ultimi anni in Italia, “Case a un euro”. Ponendosi all’intersezione teorica tra la gentrification rurale e le ricerche sul capitalismo immobiliare, l’indagine si basa su uno studio di caso per comprendere se l’iniziativa agisce da volano per la rigenerazione socio-economica di piccoli comuni e/o aree marginali o, se al contrario, alimenta forme di mercificazione/finanziarizzazione del mercato immobiliare e l’attivazione di logiche estrattive. Il lavoro esplora in profondità come la coalizione di attori pubblici e privati locali si sia appropriata del dispositivo per affrontare la sfida dello sviluppo locale, evidenziando lo scollamento tra la loro percezione e le numerose posture critiche che invece emergono nel dibattito culturale e accademico.

THE ROLE OF FRENCH PRESSED GLASS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE MEISSEN PORCELAIN MANUFACTORY
Authors: Polansky Zhanna I.
Published: December 2023

The purpose of the study is to reveal the history of Europe's first porcelain manufactory from a little-known aspect and show how non-standard solutions helped Meissen manufactory stay afloat, despite wars and crises. The article examines the history of the manufactory's turn to works of glass art - the allied decorative and applied art. The experience of using pressed glass products clearly reflects the high role that technologies, revolutionary for their time, played in design at the manufactory and its history, and how the histories of the two directions of decorative and applied art, which usually do not intersect, are closely connected. The scientific novelty lies in the interdisciplinary consideration of the issue using rare entries from catalogues of glass and Meissen porcelain products. As a result, it was determined that although the Meissen manufactory management tried to minimise the amount of evidence about the period of copying glass products, this period, nevertheless, turned out to be necessary for the manufactory’s survival in the European porcelain market. Largely owing to craftsmen’s willingness to move away from the usual models of production methods, as well as the use of the latest technologies of the first third of the 19th century, Meissen continued to create world-class porcelain masterpieces in the following years.

The article deals with the relationship between space, time and communication in the context of a trade exposition. The role of proxemics, studying the use of spatial relationships in the process of communication, as well as the concept of “affordance”, defining the ways of using space, are analysed. Particular attention is paid to scenario-based design, which allows to create products meeting the users’ needs. In modern shopping centres, social interaction occurs, and companies actively use gaming scenarios to attract and engage customers. Learning to interact happens through a variety of channels, with social media and peer-to-peer interaction playing an important role. In peer-to-peer manufacturing, producers collectively create a product by participating in a decentralised network production system. Communication through trade exposition design with the use of media technologies allows to combine all this into a system, including in the virtual world owing to the artistic and aesthetic aspect. As a result of the study, it can be concluded that communication practices in the commercial space have evolved from interpersonal contacts, where the main goal was the acquisition of goods or services and where communication could be one of the interaction goals, to a gradual reduction in the role and importance of direct contacts between the seller and the buyer.
MUSICAL ACTIVITY OF CHRISTIAN MISSIONARIES AT THE COURT OF THE QING EMPERORS OF THE 17TH–18TH CENTURIES
Authors: Fu Xiaojiao
Published: December 2023

The article raises the problem of the significance of European missionaries’ musical activities at the court of the Qing emperors during the Golden Age and attempts to integrate Western art into palace musical life. A critical review of existing Russian-language sources leads the author to the conclusion that there is a lack of information on the topic of the article as well as some freedom in the interpretation of known historical facts in scientific articles. The author sees the possibility of filling gaps in this area of musicology in a detailed study of documents of the era, primarily diaries, letters, reports and other missionaries’ correspondence. Primary scholarly sources include Father Ripa's Diary, Father Du Halde's Description of the Chinese Empire, compiled from the correspondence of French Jesuits, and Father Amiot's work on the history of Chinese music. The author considers these books to be significant; however, they are not, of course, the only documents that help shed light on the scale and depth of the functioning of European music, theory and practice in the space of Chinese musical culture, which is closed, self-sufficient and by its nature not related to Europe. Works on music theory, created by order of and jointly with the Kangxi Emperor, are proof of a considerable interest in the West. In the palaces, the presence of a large number of European instruments, with which a Western-style ensemble could be formed, as well as attention to European clothing and wigs in which the emperor dressed his musicians, is indicative. In conclusion, the author finds that the musical activities of Christian missionaries produced certain results. On the one hand, organic interaction with European music and its deep understanding did not happen at the end of the 18th century. On the other hand, regardless of the subjective attitude of one or another emperor towards the Jesuits, the idea of ​​introducing musical theoretical ideas and practices of European music-making into everyday life gradually became a reality only owing to their persistent, regular and purposeful promotion. At the same time, a reverse process was underway - the missionaries’ research instinct led to the creation of memoirs and books on the history and acoustics of Chinese music, and contributed to its active promotion in European intellectual circles.
TRUMPET IN THE ORCHESTRAL SCORE OF "ODE ON ST. CECILIA`S DAY" (1692) BY HENRY PURCELL
Authors: Meng Juguang
Published: December 2023

The subject of this research is the trumpet parts in Henry Purcell’s "Ode on St. Cecilia`s Day" (1692). The author analyses the role of the trumpet in the context of the general content of the work and its poetic symbolism. In this regard, the issue of using special compositional techniques, in particular sound visualisation and musical rhetoric, is analysed. In addition, questions of trumpet tonality semantics are considered. A large amount of background information on the history of the music holiday origin is provided in the article; opinions of scientists who put forward hypotheses about the fruitfulness of the English cultural soil for the rooting and development of such celebrations are given. The author mentions the names of outstanding trumpeters for whom trumpet parts were created, and whose art served as the foundation for the development of the trumpet style in England in the 17th-18th centuries. Along with the performers who made Purcell's art famous, information on fellow composers, Blow and Draghi, is provided; they also created musical offerings to St. Cecilia and undoubtedly influenced the style of young Purcell. The author believes that a new approach to this instrument’s capabilities and the presence of qualified performers broadened the area for the composer's fantasies and experiments. It was reflected not only in the creation of countless motifs based on fanfare and trumpet trill, expansion of the sound range and the use of “imperfect” harmonics of the natural scale but also made it possible to assign to the trumpet repertoire a certain intonation vocabulary, easily perceived, recognizable and freely used in vocal and various instrumental parts. The author comes to the conclusion that Purcell perceived the trumpet as an instrument with great virtuoso and cantilena potential; he used it in climactic moments, maintaining absolute balance with the winds and strings. With Purcell's work, the future of trumpet music became more distinct.

Статья посвящена изучению опыта эксплуатации конструкций в виде гиперболоидов вращения (типа башня Шухова), выполненных из полимерных конструкций. Проведены лабораторные исследования по моделированию деформаций такого типа конструкций. Лабораторные исследования проведены с целью изучения физических нагрузок на полимерные элементы, в зависимости от количества элементов сетчатой оболочки в диаметре яруса гиперболоида вращения, изучения деформации материала, изучения деформации соединений сетчатой оболочки. Данные лабораторного эксперимента дают представление о физических особенностях конструкций в виде гиперболоида вращения, а также о возможных изменениях нагрузок в данных типах конструкций, выполненных из полимерных материалов.

The article is devoted to the study of the experience of operating structures in the form of hyperboloids of rotation (such as the Shukhov tower) made of polymer elements. We carried out laboratory studies on modeling deformations of such structures. Laboratory studies were conducted to study physical loads on polymer elements, depending on the number of mesh shell elements in the diameter of the hyperboloid rotation tier. We intended to study the deformation of the material and of the mesh shell joints. The data of the laboratory experiment give an idea of the physical features of structures in the form of a hyperboloid of rotation, as well as an idea of possible changes in loads in these types of structures made of polymer materials.
