Authors:   Korean Association of Agricultural and Food Policy, Cho Jaesung , Lee Yong-Geon
Published: November 2022

In this study, the effect of livestock facility modernization policy on the management performance of Hanwoo farms was evaluated. Two estimation techniques were used to estimate the average treatment effect of the policy based on the propensity score of Hanwoo farms. One is a matching (1:1) method and the other is an inverse weighting method. The average treatment effect of the policy estimated by the two methods was found to be almost similar, although there were differences in the size of the estimated coefficients and the degree of statistical significance. In both estimation results, it was found that the policy had statistically significant effects on the improvement of fattening performance, the reduction of labor force, and the reduction of quarantine and treatment costs. Specifically, the appearance rate of meat quality grade 1 or higher and the appearance rate of meat quantity grade A or B increased by 10.13~10.88%p and 9.77~11.59%p, respectively. In addition, the weekly working hours per person decreased by 4.76~7.08 hours and the number of workers per head decreased by 0.007. Annual quarantine and treatment costs per head also decreased by 5,342~ 5,670 won.

Ankara Üniversitesi Siyasal Bilgiler Fakültesi’ne girdiğimiz dönemde, ülkede 12 Mart 1971 muhtırasıyla oluşturulan askerî darbenin yarattığı faşizan ortam, olanca ağırlığıyla hissediliyordu. Fakülte’de mevcut, çok seçkin bilim insanlarından oluşan öğretim görevlisi kadrosu, neredeyse nöbetleşe olarak sıkıyönetim mahkemelerinde yargılanıyor, cezaevlerine konuyordu. Öğrencilerden götürülen, insanlık dışı muamelelere maruz bırakılanların ise, haddi hesabı yoktu. Tüm bu olumsuzluklara karşın fakültenin en büyük şansı, Profesör Doktor Ruşen Keleş gibi bir dekana sahip olmasıydı. Ruşen hocamız, bütün bu olumsuzluklara rağmen, fakültedeki eğitimin aksamaması için insanüstü bir çaba gösteriyor, akademik özerklikten taviz vermeden öğretim üyelerine ve öğrencilerine sahip çıkıyordu. Öğrencileri olarak iletmek istediğimiz sorunlar için daima diyaloga açıktı. Seçkin bir bilim insanının ve dirayetli, basiretli, ilkeli, uygar bir yöneticinin somut örneğini onda gördük. Dönemin teknokrat ağırlıklı hükümetlerinden birinde önerilen İmar ve İskân Bakanlığı, Ecevit’in önerdiği milletvekilliği tekliflerini reddetmesi, onun ilkelerine sadakatinin en belirgin örnekleridir.

Salt tectonics in intracontinental sedimentary basins: Triassic – Jurassic salt movement in the Baltic sector of the North German Basin and its relation to post-Permian regional tectonics
Authors: Ahlrichs Niklas , Noack Vera , Seidel Elisabeth , Hübscher Christian
Published: November 2022

The formation and structural evolution of complex intracontinental basins, like the North German Basin, mark fundamental earth processes. Understanding these is not only essential to basic research but also of socioeconomic importance because of the multitude of resources, potential hazards and subsurface use capability in such basins. As part of the Central European Basin System, major subsidence and structural differentiation affected the Baltic sector of the North German Basin in Permian to Jurassic times. A dense network of high-resolution 2D seismic data together with nearby wells allow creating regional maps with refined stratigraphic subdivision of unprecedented spatial resolution covering the bays of Kiel and Mecklenburg (Baltic Sea). Cross sections along the basin margin allow reconstructing the structural evolution of the Zechstein salt and its overburden. At the northern basin margin, near the Kegnaes Diapir, thinning of the Buntsandstein and divergent reflectors indicate Early Triassic faulting and salt movement. In the Late Triassic, tectonic activity increased as expressed by the onset of salt movement in the northeastern Glückstadt Graben, major growth of the Kegnaes Diapir and faulting at the northeastern basin margin during deposition of the Keuper (Erfurt, Grabfeld, Stuttgart and Weser formations). At the northeastern basin margin, we interpret the accumulation of Keuper and Jurassic deposits as an infill of a local sub-basin bordered by the Werre Fault Zone and Agricola Fault System. Between the Glückstadt Graben and the northeastern basin margin, the Eastholstein-Mecklenburg Block formed a more stable area, where salt movement first began during the latest Triassic. In the peripheral part of the basin, salt movement was triggered by thin-skinned extension associated with thick-skinned faulting within the axial parts of major graben systems. Indications for gravity gliding are absent. Reactive diapirism is restricted to the basin margin, where reduced overburden thickness and Late Triassic erosion allowed diapiric breakthrough.
The Hazards of Daily Stressors: Comparing the Experiences of Sexual and Gender Minority Young Adults to Cisgender Heterosexual Young Adults during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Lougheed Jessica P. , Keskin Gizem , Morgan Sean
Published: November 2022

Some individuals may be at greater risk for encountering stressors in daily life than others, especially those with minority identities. Initial evidence shows that the disparities between cisgender heterosexual (CH) individuals and sexual and gender minority (SGM) individuals on stress-related experiences may be exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. We examined the daily stressors experienced by undergraduate students during the COVID-19 pandemic (stressor exposure), the association between the experience of daily stress and same-day negative mood (stressor reactivity), and whether these varied between undergraduate students with SGM identities and their CH counterparts using a 14-day daily diary design. We did not find significant differences between SGM and CH groups on stressor exposure or stressor reactivity. One common feature of daily diary data is right censoring, which is when some individuals do not experience specific events during the study duration. We used multilevel survival analysis, which accounts for right censored data, to examine group differences in the risks of stressor exposure. We discuss the statistical issues involved when right-censored cases are not taken into consideration in studies of stressor exposure and propose multilevel survival analysis as one solution to move the field towards more accurately understanding whether and when SGM individuals are at greater risk for stressors.
It’s snowing? Keep on rolling! Individual determinants of winter cycling in Québec
Authors: Gervais joanie , Lapointe Josyanne , Lanza  , Bernard Paquito , Boiché Julie
Published: November 2022

Bicycle commuting during the winter is an increasingly popular practice in Quebec, Canada, that is associated with benefits for public and environmental health. Constructs of the Theory of Planned Behavior and habit are associated with modes of transport and active commuting. Researchers have not yet examined whether these psychological factors are associated with winter cycling. The aims of the study were to describe winter bicycle users’ socio-demographic and psychological characteristics as well as perceptions of environment andassess whether the Theory of Planned Behavior and habit constructs are longitudinally associated with winter bicycle commuting. A longitudinal design with two online questionnaires was implemented between 2022 January and March. The first questionnaire assessed individual variables. Four weeks later, a second questionnaire collected data on the use of winter bicycle commuting in the last seven days. A structural equation model was performed to examine longitudinal associations between psychological constructs and weekly winter cycling. The study included 624, and 487 participants at baseline and follow-up, respectively. Participants mainly identified as men (60%) and mean age was 44 years old. Our results demonstrated that attitudes (β = 0.21; 95%CI [0.06, 0.36]), perceived control (β = 0.92; 95%CI [0.61, 1.12]), intention (β = 0.53; 95%CI [0.39, 0.66]), and automaticity (β = 1.12; 95%CI [0.60, 1.65]) exhibited significant positive associations with engaging in bicycle commuting during winter. The level of habit had a stronger association with behavior than intention. This study can help guide policymakers in selecting strategies that increase winter cycling modal share.
Emblems: Gestures at the interface
Authors: Gawne Lauren , Cooperrider Kensy
Published: November 2022

Emblems—the THUMBS UP, the HEADSHAKE, the PEACE SIGN, the SHHH—are communicative gestures that have a conventional form and conventional meaning within a particular community. These and other features make them more “word-like” than other gestures. It also positions them at the interface between different communicative phenomena—language and gesture, speech and sign—and between different fields. Here we provide an overview of this recurring feature of the human communicative toolkit. We first discuss the major defining features of emblems, and their points of commonality and difference with neighbouring communicative phenomena. Next, we review efforts to document emblems around the world. Our survey highlights the patchiness of global coverage, as well as strengths and limitations of approaches used to date. Finally, we consider a handful of open questions about emblems, including how they mean, how they are learned, and why they exist in the first place. Addressing these questions will require collaboration among linguists, lexicographers, anthropologists, cognitive scientists, and others. It will also deepen our understanding of human semiotic systems and how they interface with each other.
Suicide Risk, Self-esteem and Family Support among Community School Going Adolescents of Kathmandu Valley, Nepal: A Cross-sectional Study
Authors: Pokharel Manjila , Sharma Pawan , Dhakal Sandesh , Thapa Kishori
Published: November 2022

Background: Suicide is one of the major public health concerns today in all age groups. Suicide has often been neglected in adolescents. We aimed to find out the prevalence of suicidal ideas and attempts, and explore its association with family support and self-esteem among school going students of Kathmandu valley.

Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study using a semi structured proforma, P4 Suicide screener, Nepali family support and difficulties scale and Rosenberg self-esteem scale among 211 students of grade eight to ten of two community schools of Kathmandu valley. Socio-demographic and clinical data were tabulated and descriptive analysis were done. The tests for normal distribution were performed initially and then Fisher exact test (categorical) and Mann Whitney U test (continuous variable) were used as applicable.
Results: The P4 suicide screen showed 27.96% of the students to be positive. The risk stratification revealed that the maximum percentage (76.3%) of screen positive students had higher risk. The group of students who had no suicidal risk had significantly higher score in family support and difficulty scale as compared to the student with suicidal risk. However, the self-esteem score had no statistically significant difference between the two groups.
Conclusion: The suicide risk was present among one-third of the students with high risk among the majority. Considering this high prevalence, it is crucial for parents, teachers and all healthcare providers to be proactive and look for warning signs with all children and adolescents.
IMPACT, Interculturalism, and the International Theatre Festival Model
Authors: Knowles Ric
Published: November 2022

Cet article propose une étude de cas du festival IMPACT de Kitchener, en Ontario, pour illustrer ce que permet un tel festival ainsi que les obstacles à surmonter dans l’organisation de festivals de théâtre internationaux au Canada, en particulier ceux qui tentent de promouvoir la négociation et l’échange interculturels. Le texte présente d’abord l’histoire du festival et un aperçu des conditions matérielles de son fonctionnement, y compris le financement, les questions relatives à la traduction, la politique internationale, l’espace, les pratiques professionnelles et les différences culturelles. Ensuite, l’étude s’attarde à l’édition 2019 du festival, où diverses tensions et contraintes ont atteint leur paroxysme, entraînant la démission de la direction artistique et de la présidence du conseil d’administration. L’article prône un modèle d’administration et d’organisation de festival plus flexible, davantage axé sur la communauté et géré par les artistes. Plutôt que de se contenter du modèle qui prévaut au Canada, ce modèle doit permettre les rencontres et les échanges par-delà les différences culturelles. Enfin, l’article insiste sur la nécessité de trouver de nouvelles façons de concevoir des festivals tels qu’IMPACT pour agir comme des médiateurs interculturels, des lieux de négociation et de renégociation de valeurs culturelles, où les artistes et d’autres personnes peuvent se réunir et générer un dialogue vivant et performatif au-delà des différences, qui demeurent néanmoins réelles et respectées.
Quand se glisser dans la peau c’est s’immiscer dans la peau : antinoircité, proximité, résistance et le cas du spectacleSLĀV
Authors: Howard Philip S.S. , Laniel-Tremblay Édouard
Published: November 2022

SLĀV is a musical stage play directed by Robert Lepage, and based on recordings by singer Béatrice “Betty” Bonifassi. The recordings are Bonifassi’s reinterpretations of music composed by enslaved and incarcerated African Americans—that is Black people labouring under, and resisting, the conditions of slavery and its afterlife. Though Lepage and Bonifassi promoted the show as an homage to Black people, SLĀV opened at the 2018 Montreal International Jazz Festival to protests by the SLĀV Resistance Collective, accusing it of cultural appropriation. SLĀV was eventually cancelled as Black artists began pulling out of the festival. Unsurprisingly, Lepage, Bonifassi and much of the Quebec public accused the protestors of censorship, and of misunderstanding Quebec’s unique context. Situating its analysis within the field of Black Canadian Studies, in this article Howard examines the discourse around SLĀV as manifested through the words of Bonifassi, Lepage, journalists, and commenters. Howard argues that SLĀV instantiates the broader context of antiblackness in Quebec, and pays particular attention to gestures of inclusion and proximity consistent with modes of slavery and its afterlife in New France/Quebec. These gestures attempt to contain Blackness within national, linguistic, and other boundaries, disciplining the ways it is allowed to assert itself. Black resistance must therefore defy these boundaries and claim solidarity between and across variously located Black people.

Authors: Melka Yirgalem Girma , Jatta Italo Beriso
Published: November 2022

The purpose of the current study was to explore the effects of differentiated instruction, a neglected instructional practice in the Ethiopia in the EFL class in the contemporary diverse classroom situations. To achieve this purpose, the study adopted the quasi-experimental study design and randomly selected two intact classes consisting of 84 grade 12 students (CG:43, EG:41) and pre-tested to prove the comparability of the students’ grammar learning achievement. Relevant quantitative data were gathered using an English grammar learning achievement test. The intervention lasted for 12 consecutive weeks from October 2022 through early January 2022. The experimental group was taught using flexible grouping, tiered instructions, scaffolding techniques, and anchored activities as differentiated instructional strategies while the control group was taught English grammar following the one-size-fits-all conventional approach that hardly addresses or neglects students’ diverse learning needs. This group was taught a similar language focus using only textbook-provided activities. The quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS, version 24 software. Confirming the normality of the quantitative data, the independent t-test and dependent t-test were used in analyzing the pre-test and post-test data, but the qualitative data were analyzed descriptively. The findings of the study indicated that the overall mean gains for the experimental group significantly differed from the corresponding comparison group’s post-test test mean gains. The within-group comparison also showed that the post-test results of the experimental group were significantly different from the pretest results. The calculated effect size for the dependent t-test and independent t-tests were found to be moderate and large. The effect size for the treatment group exposed to differentiated instructions revealed meaningful improvement in the students’ English grammar learning. In light of the main results, the study concluded that DI significantly improved students’ English grammar learning achievement. Accordingly, the study suggested that differentiated instruction should be integrated into the regular EFL class to promote students’ learning.

Authors:   Бердянський державний педагогічний університет, GRIGORIEVA N.
Published: November 2022

The article considers the prerequisites for the creation of the concept of «space education» in the pedagogical system of M. Montessori. The necessity of its introduction into the work practice of preschool institutions of Ukraine is argued. The 21st century education paradigm is aimed at finding such an education system that would teach a person to live and act in accordance with the universal laws of Nature and the Cosmos. The versions of the researchers of the life and scientific work of the Italian teacher are presented regarding the time frame of the appearance of the term «space education», the formation and generalization of the material, which took shape in a separate educational course. The meaning of the concept of «space education» is revealed. It was found out that the work on the formation of the theory took place in stages and lasted for a long time. The influence of the Indian period of M. Montessori's life on the formation of her philosophical and pedagogical views in the last years of her life was studied. The closeness of the ideas and worldview of M. Montessori with the representatives of the Indian intelligentsia of those times – J. Arundale, A. Besant, M. Gandhi, J. Nehru, R. Tagore is traced. They admired her method, were like-minded and belonged to the Theosophical Society, which, as it turned out, actively helped M. Montessori during his stay in India. Attention is focused on a detailed analysis of the philosophical and pedagogical views of A. Besant, M. Gandhi, and R. Tagore. Three conditions are named that contributed to the creation of the concept of «space education» during his stay in India. The indisputable role of Mario Montessori's son and Lena Wickramaratne's student in creating a class of children of various ages (6-12 years old), selection and production of didactic materials, implementation of Maria Montessori's theory of «space education» in practice is emphasized. The publication outlines a topic that needs further research. Key words: M. Montessori's method, humanistic pedagogy, theosophy, cosmic education, preschool age, Indian period.

Published: November 2022

In recent years, pedagogical practices in Latin America have had to migrate prematurely towards digitalization, but in the absence of firm foundations, learning results have been unsatisfactory. Usually, the tools used by teachers are not practical and attractive, especially for students of early ages. The project deals with the development of an educational RPG (role-playing game) video game which contains different levels that group the learning areas included in the STEAM methodology (science, technology, engineering, arts, math) whose story is based on the prevention of covid-19 by applying concepts learned within the respective school curriculum. Different strategies were implemented, such as gamification, formative process and feedback, which allow the deployment of skills, abilities and competencies that facilitate children to adjust interactively to their learning environments. For the validation of the video game, a checklist was made with the most important dimensions of an educational video game, which was solved by the teacher in charge and a survey was applied to the children to know their level of satisfaction with respect to the game and the current education. Finally, in accordance with the good results, it is evident that this type of action requires further encouragement for more in-depth research with multidisciplinary teams in order to implement these didactic tools in the curricula of educational institutions.

This research focuses on using natural language processing text mining approaches to make knowledge induction from the patent corpus within 6G satellite communication technologies. The domain ontology, that describes the transdisciplinary features of the knowledge taxonomy, is derived and organized in a hierarchical schema. The trends of innovation distributions within the ontology are further analyzed to discover the transdisciplinary R&D requirements. The technology mining process discovers that the advanced satellite infrastructure and its hardware/software integration are the enabler for seamless and high-speed communication network connectivity on land, sea, and sky. Seven main parts of “6G satellite communication” ontology schema and the taxonomy are text-mined from relevant patents and literature. 2357 domain patents (all with highly transdisciplinary nature) are collected and analyzed. During macro-analyses, trend of inventions, the leading assignees, and the distribution of technology categories are depicted. The micro-analyses discover the innovations of technological themes, technology function matrix showing R&D hot-spots and cold-spots, and the most critical sub-technologys’ lifecycle maturities. The ultra-goal of this research is to discover the main trends and the potentials of satellite communication-related technologies through smart technology mining techniques, especially those requiring transdisciplinary R&D. Finally, the strategic research plan for technical-savvy countries (e.g., Taiwan focusing on semiconductor and IT design and manufacturing sectors) is presented, highlighting the necessary transdisciplinary R&D efforts for mobile telecommunication industry.

The spread of a new coronavirus infection in the last two years together with HIV infection preserves and even increases the potential for the spread of tuberculosis in the world. Sverdlovsk oblast (SO) of Russian Federation is the region with high levels of HIV and tuberculosis (TB). The search for new methods of forecasting of the future epidemic situation for tuberculosis has become particularly relevant. The aim was to develop an effective method for predicting the epidemic situation of tuberculosis using an artificial intelligence (AI) method in the format of a dynamic simulation model based on AI technologies. Statistical data was loaded from the state statistical reporting on TB patients for the period 2007–2017. The parameters were controlled through a system of inequalities. The proposed SDM made it possible to identify and reliably calculate trends of TB epidemiological indicators. Comparison of the predicted values made in 2017 with the actual values of 2018–2021 revealed a reliable coincidence of the trend of movement of TB epidemiological indicators in the region, the maximum deviation was no more than 14.82%. The forecast results obtained with SDM are quite suitable for practical use. Especially, in operational resource planning of measures to counteract the spread of tuberculosis at the regional level.

Published: November 2022

The use of mobile apps in diagnosing health conditions has increased in recent years. We need a biomarker detection app for dyslexia because it potentially helps to prevent severe consequences through an early diagnosis that helps provide early intervention. No other research assessed the feasibility and acceptability of using this kind of mobile app to detect dyslexia at home or at school. Here we present a dyslexia biomarker detection app based on Z-scored QEEG data that can be used at home or school and has accomplished a high accuracy rate in diagnosing dyslexia. The mobile app can be used at home by parents or teachers at school. We have collected data from 207 children (96 of them have dyslexia, 111 of them are typically developing) between 7-10 years old for 60 sessions. The data consists of the eyes-open resting state 2-minute QEEG data from 14-channels. Using the ANN machine learning method, children with dyslexia/ typically developing children (TDC) classification has been done with a high accuracy rate (98.8%). ANN yields the highest accuracy results with standardized QEEG data in the literature. A survey is created to assess the dyslexia biomarker detection app’s feasibility, acceptability, and economic impact. The results have shown that the biomarker detection app is found feasible and acceptable by families, however, it is found expensive to use at home.

Published: November 2022

Materials and methods. Scientific literature to review was collected from the PubMed database (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov), some other publications were collected from the open internet sources. Results. Herein we represent a review of current data for genetics regarding the hybridization events of the human evolution. The paper reviews ancient human interactions that had place 30-1000 thousands of years ago and could be detected by the methods of genetics. Both, divergence of the Old World human population and consequent introgression and hybridization processes that had led to the formation of modern human are analyzed. Discussion. The current genetics allows to study and analyze genomes of human and other animals in the aim to discover their evolutionary relationships. The consequent reveal of the ancient and extinct animal genomes allowed to speak about palaeogenetics, while the genome comparisons have formed a new discipline, comparative genomics, an analogue of the comparative anatomy. Modern and ancient human genomes' analysis have discovered the ancient human subpopulations' interactions and relations, part of which gave rise to the modern humans. Conclusion. Modern humans are a result of i) evolution of the isolated ancient human populations which had formed 200–1000 thousands of years ago; and ii) of interaction between them. Indeed, a number of hybridization events we can see during the human evolution, most of them are reflected in the modern and ancient human genomes.

Objective: The glycemic index (GI) is defined as the effect of consumed food on blood glucose relative to the reference food. The aim of this study is to determine the GI value of “Atatürk Orman Çiftliği (AOÇ)” ice cream, which is unique to our country.
Method: This study included 18 adult healthy individuals with normal body mass index (BMI) values (18.5-24.9 kg/m²) (Female/Male: 10/8). Individuals participating in the study were invited to the our outpatient clinic on different days for two weeks to consume 2 test foods (AOC ice cream) and 2 reference foods (glucose) after 12 hours of fasting. Venous blood samples were taken at 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 minutes after consumption of reference and test foods and glucose values were recorded. The glycemic index value of the test food was calculated by multiplying by 100 the ratio of the sum of the area under the curve obtained from the test food to the sum of the area under the curve obtained from the reference food.
Results: The median values of the area under the curve of the reference food and the test food were 2360.88 (483.75-4132.5) and 475.95 (44.88-1980), respectively (p<0.001). The Glycemic index value of the test foods was 21.46 (4.08-409.3) according to the reference food.
Conclusion: In this study, the glycemic index value of the Turkey-specific “Atatürk Orman Çiftliği” ice cream was found to be 21,46 (4.08-409.3) (Low). These types of foods with a low glycemic index may be preferred to increase the dietary compatibility of the patient with type 2 diabetes, especially at snack meals.
Organizational and legal measures to prevent psychosocial risks caused by the war in Ukraine
Authors: Teremetskyi V. I. , Kolodchyna R. V.
Published: November 2022

The problem of the emergence of psychosocial risks among the population has become especially relevant in connection with the war in Ukraine. Therefore, there is a need for the development and implementation of effective measures to prevent such risks, to define guidelines for programme regulation in order to implement qualified psychological rehabilitation of the population.

The basic principles of providing psychosocial and psychiatric care to persons with mental disorders are analyzed. The Concept of the development of mental health care in Ukraine for the period until 2030 and the need to develop other mental health and psychosocial support programmes are characterized, their target orientations, advantages and disadvantages are determined. The application of an individual approach is justified depending on the categories of citizens who need help, since the degree and nature of the traumas experienced can differ significantly. It is emphasized that mental health reforms should be non-intrusive and organic to reduce coercion and support mental health service users to make their own decisions about treatment. The special needs of people with mental disorders, including combatants, displaced persons, children, women, and the elderly, are identified. An integrated approach is emphasized, which would include the use of social, psychological, and medical measures at different levels (state, regional, and local) for the most effective intervention, providing the necessary support and accompaniment at various stages.

The risks of the use of civilian firearms by the population of Ukraine in the context of the adoption by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine in the first reading of the draft Law of Ukraine “On the right to civilian firearms” are considered. It is emphasized the need to introduce a balanced permitting procedure in order to minimize risks against the background of the worsening situation in the field of mental health.

Taking into account the experience of European countries, the possibility of functioning of interdisciplinary teams in the field of mental health, which are a basic element of the mental health care system in the community, has been considered. Based on the analysis of shortcomings and problems that arise in the process of receiving psychosocial services, practical recommendations have been developed to prevent psychosocial risks caused by the war in Ukraine.
The status of women in the Ancient East: peculiarities of marriage and family relations in Mesopotamia
Authors: Lohvynenko I. A. , Lohvynenko Ye. S.
Published: November 2022

The main criteria of social differentiation of women in the first state formations of the Middle Ages have been studied. The influence of religion on the formation of understanding of the place and role of women in society has been shown. Peculiarities of marriage and family relations in ancient Mesopotamia have been considered. The factors determining the social hierarchy of women in the ancient civilizations of the Biennial have been determined and analyzed. The causes of temple and street mass prostitution have been clarified. Features of the position of female slaves have been described. The work is based on the principle of historicism. When studying primary sources, comparative legal, hermeneutic methods and systematic analysis were used. The anthropological method was used when revealing the worldview of the people of that time and their values, the gender method was used when studying the status of women in the state institutions of the Middle Ages. It was concluded that the social position of women in ancient Mesopotamia was not unambiguous. Religion influenced a person's worldview, the understanding of the nature of a woman, her place and role in society. The rite of “sacred marriage” was one of the significant religious rituals, which encouraged the reproduction of similar sacred acts in worldly life, and became the ideological basis of the activity of the priests of Mezhyrechya. On the basis of the analysis of the legislation of the state institutions of the time, the purpose of marriage was determined, that is the birth and upbringing of children who were to inherit and multiply the family property and perform the necessary sacred rites, which were to help the dead in the afterlife. The inability to have children became the reason for divorce, as a rule, at the husband's will. The wife also had the right to initiate the divorce process in the municipal court, but under certain circumstances specifically defined by law. The most influential in society were the high priestesses – entum and naditum, who were related by blood to the famous families of Mesopotamia. They had wealth, broad socio-economic rights and the greatest social protection. Prostitutes and slaves were the least protected. It is noted that the origins of modern problems of gender inequality can be seen in the distant past, in the ancient world, in particular in Mesopotamia, which had a significant impact on European civilization. Women's History The Biennial provides grounds for asserting that solving the problems of gender inequality is not possible only by changing the legislation. A comprehensive approach is necessary, which would take into account such components as religion, culture, law, economy, psychology, etc.
