Toxicity of Insecticides with Different Modes of Action to Apis Mellifera Larvae (Hymenoptera, Apidae)
Authors: Waseem Mohammad Abdul , Thakur Meena
Published: December 2023

Pesticides are one of the elements that lead to the decline in honeybee populations. Honey bee while foraging collect nectar and pollen from various crops, can be exposed to pesticide residues, which may be transported into their colonies and consumed by the larvae. The objective of this study was to evaluate acute toxicity of fipronil and lambda-cyhalothrin, two commonly detected pesticides within beehives, on the larvae of Apis mellifera. The testes chemicals were given to three-day old larvae. Treatments were administered using a micropipette at the bottom of each chosen comb cell. Each treatment included sixty larvae per dosage and the experiment was repeated three times. Larvae were given only acetone in the control treatment. Fipronil and lambda-cyhalothrin were toxic to the larvae of A. mellifera with LD50 values of 0.163 and 0.83 μg/larvae, respectively after seven days of exposure. The maximum mortality of 81.35% was recorded with a dose of 0.38 μg/larvae in Fipronil, whereas in lambda-cyhalothrin, it was 94.23% with a dose of 1.70 μg/larvae.
Russian False Religious Accusations of Ukrainians
Authors: Krkač Kristijan
Published: December 2023

The text provides a summary of several months of research on Russian false religious accusations against Ukrainians (Satanists, Satan) and actions (de-Satanization, Holy war, Jihad). Only the essential elements required for the conceptual analysis of the insufficiency of existing explications will be presented. The extensive evidence supporting the existence, falseness, and characteristics of the accusations will be supplied where necessary for the analysis. The analysis requires certain preliminary clarifications, namely: the evidence of the existence, falseness, and other attributes of the Russian accusations (section 1), the description and analysis of the most plausible explanations regarding the motives behind the accusations (section 2), and an argument highlighting the insufficiency of these explanations, which includes logical, factual, clinical, and interpretative objections (section 3). The underlying reason for the insufficiency of explanations can be attributed to various possibilities, some of which include the peculiarity of the phenomenon itself, particularly within the context of Russia, as well as the absence of applicable models for seemingly similar contemporary and historical phenomena such as a lack of democratic practices (section 3.2).
Changes of Polish Democracy and their Impact on Polish Belarusians
Authors: Kasińska-Metryka Agnieszka , Dudała Rafał
Published: December 2023

The Belarusian minority in Poland is the second largest national minority, almost entirely concentrated in Podlasie. Qualitative research conducted by our team in 2020 allowed diagnosis of the reasons for the “invisibility” of Belarusians. The Polish state’s policy has always influenced the mood of Belarusians who, despite being passive in creating their own political representation, are often identified as the electorate of left-wing parties. Currently, eight years after the 2015 elections won by the PiS party (Prawo i Sprawiedliwość, Law and Justice), Podlaskie Voivodeship is sometimes referred to as a “bastion of the right”, especially of extreme right-wing forces. The aim of the paper is to determine the impact of the current political situation on the sense of identity of the Belarusian minority by referring to the results of the National Census of 2002 and 2011, as well as the circumstances and results of the 2021 census. The analysis pays attention to factors such as historical policy, religion, and axiology, which determine the “borderland identity”. The research method used is primarily a comparative method, but we also applied the results of interviews based on scenarios, conducted in selected Podlasie municipalities with at least 50% of Polish Belarusians.
When Daces Bite Deeper than Sharks – Does the SMEs Public Subsidy Dose Matter?
Authors: Špetlík Václav , Čadil Jan
Published: December 2023

One of the EU's main priorities is to boost the competitiveness of its member states through subsidies from the European Structural Funds. As SMEs are key elements of competitiveness, their support through various subsidy programmes is important. However, as our research shows, the distribution of funds among SMEs is highly unequal. While some SMEs are very successful in obtaining subsidies, others (especially the smallest ones) are not. Using a robust dataset of Czech companies, we have identified subsidy ‘sharks‘ receiving multiple times more funds, compared to mediocre ‘salmons‘ and lowly supported ‘daces‘. While using counterfactual design with control for a subsidy dose and taking labour productivity as a proxy for competitiveness, we have found out that the subsidy dose really matters. It seems that the higher the dose, the lower the impact on competitiveness. Since, on average, subsidies led to higher competitiveness of beneficiaries, the subsidy daces significantly outpaced sharks. From a policy perspective, limiting support per beneficiary could lead to higher effectiveness of support programmes. This study also highlights the importance of the subsidy dose in evaluation practice and research.
Demand for urban public transport in the Czech Republic
Authors: Vojtěch Horáček , Barbora Slintáková
Published: December 2023

The research aims to analyse the influence of selected factors on the demand for urban public transport in the Czech Republic. Urban public transport is important publicly provided service worldwide. In the Czech Republic this means public ownership of transport companies and massive subsidies from municipal budgets. In line with the literature, we tested the effects of the fares, the quality of services offered, the population´s income, car ownership, the urban population´s size and employment level. Using cointegration and regression analyses of data for 2004 to 2019, we constructed unique demand models for selected cities. Our analysis revealed a positive effect of quality, fuel price (as a cost associated with car ownership), and the urban population´s size. In contrast, unemployment and the price of fares have a negative effect on demand. The income effect depends on whether the transport company operates vehicles that cope better with traffic congestion.

Published: December 2023

The spread of COVID-19 has led to the physical closure of universities, accelerating the expansion of online learning methods. West University of Timișoara has adapted to the pandemic context using different online teaching methods, useful also for students that needed to enhance interpersonal relationship skills, such as future social workers. Thus, authors explored social work students’ perceptions regarding the effectiveness of online learning during the COVID-19 pandemics. The main goal of the study was to determine the perceptions of WUT students, Department of Social Work, about their online learning experience, assessing the effectiveness of online learning with four indicators: Interaction with professors and faculty colleagues, Student comfort in online learning, Motivation to learn online, and Advantages and disadvantages of online learning. The data was obtained through an online questionnaire applied to 107 students. The results indicate that students were generally satisfied by the online learning experience, 60.7% feeling satisfied with the way the university made the transition to online education and 45.7% appreciating that teachers were prepared for the online environment. Their perception is influenced by their ability to technically access online courses and the educational outcomes. Over 50% of the students expressed satisfaction regarding communication with teachers and colleagues. An important conclusion of the research is that university education can benefit from this glimpse of online education, which has challenged, but in the end, has adapted to a hybrid, alternative, way of education. However, to have a sustainable education, e-learning tools should be constantly adapted to students’ needs.
Human centricity and technology advances research in social sciences: A literature insight on artificial intelligence
Authors: Popa Radu-Ioan
Published: December 2023

Evolving technology and human-machine interaction are two major stances that question human centricity as a core dimension for the future placement of human variables and social perspectives inside intelligent systems. The present paper explores present challenges and an up to date research synthesis concerning social sciences dimensions, theories, concepts and implementation with regard to the study of human centred artificial intelligence. The main scope consists of drawing several red lines for future research and theoretical social insights on artificial intelligence at work. Following a scholarly literature insight and several reference works, the study explores major topics of interest analysed so far and proposes new directions for the evaluation of human variables and machine learning at work in an organizational setting. Results showed there is a vital need for expanding research from human centricity point of view on the present matter, where studies are still scarce and heterogenous. Moreover, concept clarification and theoretical explanations are yet to be sufficient in explaining people interactions and management of artificial intelligence at the workplace. In conclusion human empowerment at work through ethical and person oriented intelligent systems in a given organizational context can ensure a fair and efficient development of people’s skills, professional objectives or level of performance while promoting human values, ethical principles and preserving the well-being. The paper presents also several practical implications of social sciences domain on artificial intelligence exploration and a few future directions for research.

Authors: Oguntuase Oluwaseun J. , Adu Oluwatosin B. , Obayori Oluwafemi S.
Published: December 2023

Very little is known about public understanding, awareness, and perception of bioeconomy in Nigeria where its adoption is scant. Addressing this problem, we adopted a mixed method research design study to investigate the level of understanding, perception, and awareness of bioeconomy and its products among 550 Lagos residents’, 500 survey respondents and 50 focus group participants. Results revealed self-assessed moderate understanding and positive perception of bioeconomy, but poor knowledge of bioeconomy products. The recommendation is that bioeconomy development initiatives should target improvement of individuals’ knowledge of bioeconomy, and awareness of bioeconomy products, and reinforce environmental benefits, and climate action attributable to bioeconomy to drive its adoption among the populace.
Theoretical Foundations of Hotel Safety within the System of Sustainable Development
Authors: Krasnomovets Viktoriia
Published: December 2023

The article reveals the theoretical grounds for the concept of “safety” with regard to the hotel industry. Based on the analysis of existing definitions we determined the theoretical content of the concept and offered our generalized interpretation of the “hotel safety” category. We provide original interpretation of the security concept in the context of hotel environment, both external and internal dimensions being encompassed. The focal points include buildings, property, people, and resources. Primary categories comprise physical security, personnel safety (both employees and guests), as well as system security. Besides, we’ve analyzed the levelness of safety system in the accommodation industry as well as systematized types of safety according to the three main blocks, such as physical safety, safety of people, and system security. We’ve determined that security serves, firstly, the basis for ensuring the sustainable development of hotel establishments, due to its fundamental underpinning; and, secondly, a fundamental indicator of investment feasibility.
Appearance of Natural Cosmetics in Consumer Behavior Related to Cosmetics in Hungary
Authors: Amberg Nóra
Published: December 2023

The aim of this study is to determine what variables influence consumer purchase intentions regarding preferences for natural cosmetics. Data were collected via an online survey from 197 people completed in April-May 2018 in Hungary. The research used a non-parametric test – the Wilcoxon test. Analyses have shown that gender and consumers’ willingness to purchase natural products influence consumers’ willingness to purchase. Environmentally and health-conscious consumer behavior also influences their purchasing intentions for natural cosmetics. Consumer interest in environmental and health issues is growing today, providing a huge opportunity for the natural and organic cosmetics (N&O Cs) industry to develop a strategy that would encourage many consumers to buy organic or natural body care products. The results may also be useful for marketers, online sellers and professionals in identifying and better understanding new trends in natural cosmetics production.

Authors: Haryono Idam Bali , Hendrawan I Gede , Indrawan Gede Surya
Published: December 2023

Bali Island is one of the most tsunami-prone areas in Indonesia. Two tectonic tsunami sources flank Bali Island: The Megathurst subduction zone in the south and the Back Arc Thurst subduction zone in the north. This study aimed to add information about the tsunami arrival time and the maximum height of the tsunami waves that hit the coast using COMCOT software as a disaster mitigation measure. Five scenarios were used in this study with the differences in the magnitude of tsunami-generating earthquakes. Results showed that the fastest affected shoreline by the tsunami in scenarios 1, 2, and 3 is the Tejakula Sub District shoreline, with a period of 5 minutes 41 seconds to 3 minutes 43 seconds. In scenarios 4 and 5, it was found on the Sawan Sub District shoreline for 2 minutes, 51 seconds to 56 seconds. The maximum run-up of tsunami waves that hit the shoreline in scenarios 1, 2, 3, and 4 are on the Kubu Sub District shoreline with run-up heights of 0.0095 m, 0.47 m, 1.5 m, and 3 m. In scenario 5, the highest run-up is on the Banjar Sub District shoreline, with a 67.6 m run-up height. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the magnitude of the tsunami-generating earthquake greatly influences the travel time and run-up height of the tsunami waves. The greater the magnitude of the tsunami-generating earthquake, the faster the travel time of the tsunami waves and the higher the run-up height.

Eine klientenzentrierte Krankheitslehre
Authors: Biermann-Ratjen Eva-Maria
Published: December 2023

Der zentrale Begriff der Klientenzentrierten Krankheitslehre ist die Inkongruenz zwischen der gesamtorganismischen Bewertungvon Erfahrung und ihrer Bewertung als das Selbstkonzept bestätigend oder bedrohend. Diese Bewertungen und ihre Nichtübereinstimmung können als affektive und damit Selbsterfahrungen bewußt werden, aber auch dem Bewußtsein mehr oder weniger vollständig ferngehalten, d.h. abgewehrt werden. Im Klientenzentrierten Konzept wird zwischen mehr oder weniger früh gestörten Selbstkonzepten unterschieden, d .h. zwischen mehr oder weniger fully functioning persons mit entsprechend geringerer oder größerer Vulnerabilität bzw. primärer Inkongruenz. Psychopathologische Phänomene werden im Klientenzentrierten Konzept als Ausdruck akuter oder chronischer sekundärer Inkongruenz verstanden: Sowohl die das Selbstkonzept bedrohenden Erfahrungen als auch die Erfahrungen des Bedrohtseins im eigenen Selbstverständnis sowie deren affektive Bewertung und/oder Abwehr können akut oder chronisch und ganz oder teilweise im Bewußtsein symbolisiert sein.

Published: December 2023

Objetivou-se compreender as principais discussões científicas suscitadas nas pesquisas brasileiras sobre o trabalho docente. Realizou-se um estudo bibliométrico utilizando o software VOSviewer®. O corpus constitui-se por 286 registros extraídos da Web of Science, publicados de 2008 a 2023. As palavras-chave mais representativas nortearam a identificação de seis eixos temáticos: condições de trabalho adversas à saúde dos professores; as TDIC no trabalho docente; singularidades no trabalho docente; trabalho docente e políticas educacionais; precarização do trabalho docente; e trabalho docente na educação infantil. Os achados da pesquisa apontam para a precarização do trabalho docente no Brasil, que é antiga, mas foi acentuada com a pandemia da Covid-19 e a inefetividade política. Estratégias estão em curso com o escopo de mitigar essa situação, incluindo estímulo à formação inicial e continuada dos professores. Para superar as contradições históricas que afligem a educação e os professores, é fundamental que esse debate seja perene.
Perawatan saluran akar periodontitis apikalis kronis pada gigi insisivus lateral maksilaris kiri
Authors: Stefani Rosita
Published: December 2023

Background: Root canal treatment is one of the modalities to treat periapical lesions. The success of root canal treatment in periapical lesions can be seen with the patient's chief complaint and the healing of periapical lesions as seen by the radiograph. Objective: This case report aims to demonstrate root canal treatment on a maxillary anterior tooth with periapical lesion. Case report: A 22-year-old female patient came with complaints of a maxillary anterior tooth that had throbbing pain several months ago, after having it filled by a previous dentist, and since then, it has never hurt again. Intra-oral examination of tooth 12 showed composite resin on the mesiopalatal surface. Radiographic findings showed that there was a round radiolucency in the periapical area with a diameter of 4 mm. Root canal treatment was performed based on the diagnosis of chronic apical periodontitis et causa necrotic pulp. Root canal treatment begins with the application of a rubber dam, opens the cavity, explores the root canal, and shapes the root canal. Biomechanical preparation was carried out using Protaper Hand Use with crown down technique, combined with 2.5% NaOCl irrigation. The first visit ends with the disinfection of the root canal using calcium hydroxide. Subsequent treatment was carried out with subjective and objective examination, removal of temporary filling, cleaning of calcium hydroxide, and final irrigation with 2.5% NaOCl, 17% EDTA, and 2% CHX. Obturation was achieved using the vertical condensation technique. The restoration was accomplished at the next visit using composite resin. Conclusion: Root canal treatment on teeth with chronic apical periodontitis was successfully carried out.
Rehabilitasi peninggian dimensi vertikal oklusi pada kasus kehilangan gigi sebagian dengan atrisi
Authors: Wirahadikusumah Andy
Published: December 2023

Background: In this modern era, patients are increasingly critical of perfect results, we as dentists are required to work systematically. Correct centric and eccentric occlusion relationships are very important in the construction of removable dentures. Errors at the stage of determining jaw relations, especially the vertical dimensions, can cause the artificial teeth to be uncomfortable for the patient to use or have the long-term potential to damage elements of the stomatognathic system. Objective: In this case report, it is hoped that we can distinguish which cases require an increase in the vertical dimension and which do not, as well as knowing how to carry out the procedure for increasing the vertical dimension in cases where the teeth have experienced attrition resulting in a decrease in the vertical dimension. Case: A patient who had experienced attrition of the lower anterior teeth and was exacerbated by loss of the upper anterior teeth, resulting in a decrease in the vertical dimension. Case management: Rehabilitation to increase the vertical dimension was carried out first using an interim acrylic partial denture and enameloplasty of the lower anterior teeth. After the patient adapts, a metal frame partial denture is made as a definitive denture and a fixed denture on the remaining natural teeth to maintain the vertical dimensions that have been obtained. Conclusion: The key to success in this case is an accurate and systematic treatment plan, with an increase in the vertical dimension, as well as good communication with the patient.
El proceso de gramaticalización de "en ese caso" como marcador con valor condicional
Authors:   Universidad de Salamanca, Bartol Hernández José Antonio , Domínguez García María Noemí ,   Universidad de Salamanca
Published: December 2023

"This article analyzes the evolution of the adverbial phrase or semi-locution en ese caso from its conceptual deictic-anaphoric meaning to its discursive function as a conditional marker. We also provide data on the use of en este caso, comparing it with en ese caso to gain a better understanding of the grammaticalization process. To this end, a diachronic analysis is presented, starting with its earliest documented instances as locutions with conditional value, which is followed by a synchronic analysis with documents from the 2st century. The corpora used for data collection include those from RAE —CDH and CDH nuclear, CORDE, CREA, and CORPES XXI— as well as the oral corpora ESLORA and VALESCO 3.0. The corpus analysis demonstrates, on the one hand, that the frequency and temporal span of en este caso and en ese caso are distributed in a complementary manner."
Gómez Manrique y la exclamación y querella de la gobernación: génesis política y origen literario de su escritura en la corte del Arzobispo de Toledo Alonso Carrillo
Authors:   IES Valle del Cidacos–Calahorra (La Rioja), Cáseda Teresa Jesús Fernando
Published: December 2023

"This study analyses the origin of Gómez Manrique’s Exclamación y querella de la gobernación, an important 15th-century composition. It identifies the date of its writing: where, why and against whom it was written, at a time of great political upheaval in the Castile of his time. This text cannot be understood without situating it in a very precise intellectual context, the archiepiscopal court of Alonso Carrillo in Toledo and Alcalá de Henares. It is therefore necessary to situate it ideologically within this circle, which included such important writers as Juan Álvarez Gato, Rodrigo Cota, Pedro Guillén de Segovia, Alfonso de Palencia, Juan de Mazuela, Pedro Díaz de Toledo and Francisco de Noya, among others."
Realidad y ficción en las sobremesas de Don Quijote. Un estudio del capítulo XI, que narra «de lo que le sucedió a Don Quijote (en la sobremesa) con unos cabreros»
Authors:   Boston College, Gelardo-Rodríguez Teresa
Published: December 2023

"Don Quijote de la Mancha has become an endless source for studies about cooking and socio-gastronomy, as Carolyn Nadeau and Martín Morán’s works attest. But beyond this culinary interpretation, Cervantes’s «after-dinner prose» can be said to treasure something else, rather than the mere narrative contextualization of food and entertainment. One proof of this argument is that some of the most enjoyable and masterful dialogues of the book converge in the after-dinner scenario, where a close relationship is established between food and conversations, between food and literature. This work defends the idea that Cervantes integrated these elements in order to convey one of the central topics of his novel: the intrinsic relation between reality and fiction, or between life and books."
La infancia en un mundo posible entre lo utópico y lo distópico: "República Luminosa" (2017), de Andrés Barba
Authors:   Universidad de Murcia, Pujante Segura Carmen María
Published: December 2023

"República Luminosa (2017), by Andrés Barba (1975), tells the story of a group of children who, for about a year, invade a tropical city in which violence will prevail. These events are recounted years later by a witness who assumes the role of a chronicler in a narrative full of uncertainties. The recognition of the novel, which has received various awards, has not been reflected in a scholarly interest either by contemporary literary criticism or, more specifically, by the emergent field of critical studies on dystopias and utopias, which has grown in recent years both inside and outside Spain. This novel is a singular work because Andrés Barba, who had already written about children (and for children), offers a suggestively ambiguous gaze at childhood and at the narrative act itself; in fact, a priori antagonistic readings of the novel, moving between the dystopian and the utopian, have been proposed. After exploring the singularities of the novel and considering the critical readings that have been made, a narrative analysis of time, space, characters and style is presented in this essay, so as to help illuminate the paradoxical nature of its reading. It is argued that these elements are built on duality, an element that can help to explain both the ambiguity of the concepts present in the novel and of its sources (e.g., Plato’s works)."

OPENWORK DOWN KNITTING OF THE ORENBURG REGION: TRADITION AND ETHNOARTISTIC SEARCH IN THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS OF THE ORENBURG ART COLLEGE
Authors:   Orenburg state university, Orenburg, Russia, Vasilchenko A.A.
Published: December 2023

During the study of the author’s elements of the ornament based on the ornamental forms of the multi-ethnic population of the Orenburg region, methods of their implementation in the traditional artistic and technological system of the Orenburg down scarf were considered. An innovative search in the field of ethno-artistic heritage and the introduction of original elements into the traditional ornament of the Orenburg down scarf in accordance with the artistic and technological foundations of the down knitting tradition is a condition for its development. The systematic innovative approach to creating original elements of the Orenburg down scarf ornament generally corresponds to the concept of ethno-artistic content of the methodology of pre-university and university education. Solving the problems of mastering the traditional artistic and technological foundations of down knitting depends on the creativity of Orenburg down knitters. They preserve the continuity of the stylistics of the artistic canon, traditional motifs and technological techniques. Methods of an innovative approach to traditional artistic craft, including down knitting, can be applied in the theoretical and practical part of the educational process in the profile “Environmental Design”, in the disciplines “Decorative and Applied Arts in the Interior” and “Design of Light Industry Products”.

In modern conditions, education and training systems in various countries are faced with challenges that determine the demand for reliable information about changes in the labor market and future prospects for those who are faced with choosing their professional path. In Russia, close attention is paid to the professional guidance of the younger generation. A new round of activity to build a system of career guidance work occurred in connection with the Address of the President of the Russian Federation V. Putin to the Federal Assembly on February 21, 2023. During the Soviet period, the career guidance system met the objectives of the state in relation to personality formation and the needs of the economy. Managed at various levels of executive power. The inclusion of interested participants was assumed: students, parents, representatives of production, teachers and school administration. Considerable attention was paid to organizing interaction between participants and creating an appropriate subject-spatial environment and methodological support. Foreign practice of career guidance work is distinguished by the desire to take into account the individual needs of students, recognition of the significant role of specialists competent in the field of vocational guidance and counseling. International research distinguishes the uniqueness of career guidance practice in different countries and the demand for its services at any stage of life. In the Russian general education system, vocational guidance is defined simultaneously as a personal request of the child and his family and a global task for the country. A unified model of vocational guidance has been built, which ensures that students master the minimum vocational guidance. Formats for implementing a unified model, types of activities and materials, forms of career guidance activities allow career guidance work to be carried out at a level that meets the needs and interests of modern schoolchildren. The role of the pedagogical worker as a teacher-navigator who provides pedagogical support to students in the process of vocational guidance is defined. A unified model of professional guidance is implemented in parallel through the digital platform bvbinfo.ru.

The theoretical and methodological foundations and specifics of developing a process model for the formation of civil identity of adolescents in children’s public associations have been studied. In the course of a lot of theoretical research, a block structure of the process model of the formation of civil identity of adolescents in children’s public associations is indicated, which is implemented in accordance with certain stages: value-oriented, content-informing, transformative-reflective, presented in the sequence of development of the phenomenon being studied. The target block defines the targets and tasks of ensuring the formation of this type of identity of young people in children’s public associations, taking into account the demands of modern society and various social institutions, analysis of modern regulatory documents. The methodological block of the author’s model is represented by cultural, socio-pedagogical, activity-based scientific approaches and their corresponding principles — axiologization, subjectivity, communicative partnership and cooperation, social hardening, tolerance, reflection. The content block of the developed model reflects the content directions, organizational forms, methods and means of the phenomenon under study from the position of using the pedagogical capabilities of children’s public associations (meaning-forming, informational, activating) in the formation of the civic identity of adolescents (panel discussions “Enlightenment and the revival of the tradition of mentoring heroes of the Fatherland; “Worldview cinema and open discussion platforms”; “Laboratory of military-historical reconstructions”; “Children and adults social project bureau”; “Academy of a young citizen”; “Factory of social ideas”; “Social gamification”. The result block describes the components of the civic identity of adolescents, its criteria and indicators, levels of formation, expected results.

The problem of intelligence has a wide research potential and attracts more and more attention of scientists and specialists in various fields. Today, the fundamental ideas about the structure and functions of intelligence in its natural (human) and artificial dimensions, the relationship of artificial intelligence with the natural in their unity and difference, are debatable. The purpose of the article is to study intelligence as a paradoxical (largely contradictory) phenomenon, the task is to search for the essential foundations of intelligence, to strengthen the arguments in favor of the existence of two relatively independent types of intelligence, each of which has specific functions. The main method of research is dialectics in relation to the format of logical algorithms inherent in intelligence. The main results of the article are the recognition of the paradoxical nature of human intelligence, due to the complex interaction of its positive and negative types (sides). In the process of historical evolution, the prevalence of one of the types of intellectuality is determined by the progressive or, on the contrary, counter-progressive course of social development. Now in one group of countries there is an average increase in the power of the positive functions of the intellect, in the other group, on the contrary, an increase in its negative components is clearly noted. The novelty lies in the formulation and substantiation of the thesis that in the conditions of progressive social development, positive intelligence strengthens its position in comparison with negative intelligence. On the contrary, in conditions of stagnation and especially regression, the position of negative intelligence strengthens, which is expressed in the growth of schizophrenic deviations, various phobias, etc. Directions for further research based on this work may include more thorough and differentiated studies of positive and negative intelligence, their unity and differences, and the dialectics of relationships in structural and functional terms in various historical eras, including the modern one. Along with this, questions of the essence, paradoxicality and inconsistency of intelligence can be useful to the developers of its artificial invariant.
ALIENATION: IDENTITY CRISIS
Authors:   National University of Oil and Gas «Gubkin University», Moscow, Russia, Manannikova M. V.
Published: December 2023

The appeal to the problem of alienation of personality in the conditions of modern reality has relevance due to the fact that it allows analyzing the status of such a phenomenon as the crisis of self-identity. The ways of the constitution of the self by a person in the conditions of the emerging digital reality acquire the meaning of “answers” to the problem of self-alienation of the individual. The purpose of the study is to consider the newly emerging aspects of the process of alienation associated with the formation of a reality that goes beyond the empirical space of the main spheres of public life that has become familiar to the broad masses of people. The objectives of this work are: firstly, a review of the main methodological approaches to the study of alienation in the history of philosophical thought; secondly, an analysis of new forms of alienation emerging in the digital space. The most adequate to the set goals and objectives is the comparative approach, which is a transdisciplinary methodology that allows avoiding one-sided interpretation of the phenomena under study. The article examines the ideas about the nature of alienation in classical and non-classical philosophy, due to various factors of reality that generate the “discontinuity” of human existence. It is shown that the category of “alienation” is a product of understanding the contradictions between the laws of nature and society with human nature. New forms of alienation are subjected to philosophical reflection. The paper draws attention to the fact that the crisis of personal identity is largely due to the increasing role and importance of a person in the modern world. The consequence of his active life position is not only socio-cultural transformations, but also the emergence of new problems that indicate an identity crisis and require deep philosophical reflection, the search for answers to the problem of human self-alienation. The novelty of the work lies in determining the significance of the fact of constructing a virtual self-identity by a person as a way to solve the problem of self-alienation. The article is of an installation nature, its conclusions should be considered as theoretical prerequisites for the analysis of such problems as the peculiarities of modern man’s being, his identity and polyidentity, as well as the problems of determining the nature of the emerging universal hyperreality.
A jövedelemegyenlőtlenség tendenciái és hatásai a gazdasági növekedésre
Authors: Vitkovics Réka
Published: December 2023

Az elmúlt években az éghajlatváltozás és a világjárvány miatt előtérbe került az egyenlőtlenség és a gazdasági növekedés kapcsolatának kérdése. Esszémben ezt a kapcsolatot vizsgálom, fő kérdésem, hogy az egyenlőtlenségek pozitív vagy negatív hatással vannak-e a gazdasági növekedésre. A témát a jövedelemegyenlőtlenségen keresztül közelítem meg, és nem törekszem az egyenlőtlenség minden aspektusának kibontására. A fogalmi keretekből kiindulva bemutatom a globális egyenlőtlenség és a hosszú távú növekedés közötti kapcsolatot. Mivel az egyenlőtlenségek a fejlett és fejlődő országokat egyaránt érintik, összehasonlítom őket, majd rámutatok arra, hogy utóbbiak miért nem tudják megismételni azt a gazdasági fejlődést, amely a korábban iparosítóknak sikerült. Végül megfogalmazom, hogy az egyértelmű cél a túlzott egyenlőtlenségek mérséklése lehet.
Iparpolitika és fejlődés: a fegyelmezett cselekvés ideje
Authors: Kovács Olivér
Published: December 2023

Az esszé a 2011 óta kibontakozásnak indult negyedik ipari forradalom (Ipar 4.0) egyik legfontosabb paradoxonára keresi a választ, nevezetesen arra, hogy vajon az azóta megalkotott, dedikált iparpolitikai stratégiák és alkalmazott szakpolitikai beavatkozások sokasága ellenére miért nem láthattunk látványos sikereket. Az Egyesült Államok és az Európai Unió iparpolitikai körképén keresztül azzal érvelünk, hogy bár időbe telik, míg az Ipar 4.0 hatásai beérnek, a „türelem rózsát terem” (respice finem) stratégia nem tartható fenn bármeddig, azaz egészen addig, amíg bizonyos szisztematikus iparpolitikai paradoxonok feloldása nem következik be, ugyanis ezt csak és kizárólag rendszerszemléletű és elsősorban rezilienciavezérelt iparpolitikától remélhetjük.
Cervical spinal meningioma mimicking an arachnoid cyst: A pediatric case report
Authors: Okamon Djiby Jean Marcel , Coulibaly Mahamadou , N’dri Dominique
Published: December 2023

Background:

Meningiomas are rare tumors in children. Although magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) diagnosis is usually easy, its cystic form can wrongly suggest other diagnoses, such as an epidermoid or arachnoid cyst. We describe an unusual case of cervical cystic meningioma in a child.

Case Description:

A 5-year-old patient was consulted for progressive weakness of all four limbs, making walking impossible. Neurological examination revealed cervical stiffness without meningeal signs and tetrapyramidal syndrome with incomplete tetraplegia. A cervical spine MRI showed a circumscribed intradural extramedullary lesion at the level of C2–C3, which led to a suspicion of a compressive arachnoid cyst. A gross total resection was performed through a posterior approach. During surgery, it was an extramedullary intradural cystic formation containing a clear liquid and a shell adherent to the Dura mater. Postoperative MRI shows satisfactory spinal cord decompression without evidence of residual tumor. The postoperative course was uneventful, with the resumption of independent walking on the 21st day. Histopathologic examination and immunohistochemistry revealed a grade I meningothelial meningioma according to the 2021 World Health Organization classification of tumors of the central nervous system.

Conclusion:

Cystic meningiomas can sometimes suggest another diagnosis on imaging, especially since they are rare in children.
