Female Buddha at Ukubahāḥ of Lalitpur resemble with Alchi Sum-tsek Monastery, Ladakh
Authors: Bajracharya Birat Raj
Published: October 2024

In Buddhism, enlightenment is accessible to all, regardless of gender. In the highest teachings of Tantra, a unique aspect emerges: the existence of five female transcendental Buddha-s, known as the prajña of Pañca Buddha. Alternatively, they are sometimes interpreted as the Pañca Buddha themselves in female form. One such set of goddesses has been discovered in Ukubahāḥ, a vihāra in the old city of Patan, Nepal. This article focuses on researching these previously underappreciated sculptures from Ukubahāḥ. It highlights striking similarities between the iconography of 9th century’s Ukubahāḥ sculptures and 11th to 13th century murals at Alchi Monastery in Ladakh. Among the five Tārā-s, three identical depictions are identified in Alchi’s Sum-tsek Monastery. For this study, a comparative analysis was conducted solely on the depictions from Ukubahāḥ in Nepal and the Sum-tsek monastery in Ladakh. The Female Buddha at Ukubahāḥ in Lalitpur resembles those at Alchi Sum-tsek Monastery, Ladakh.
Tracing Some Challenges of Higher Education Historically in Nepal through Tribhuvan University
Authors: Karna Manoj Kumar
Published: October 2024

Tribhuvan University (TU) is the oldest and only central university in Nepal. It set a historical record in 2023 by convocating more than twelve thousand students at one time. Despite the presence of many regional and technical institutes and universities that contribute to Nepali society in higher education, Nepali students often prefer to study abroad after completing their school-level certificates. This trend has compelled Nepali university planners, educators, political parties, and governments to review the reasons for the brain drain among youth. The article aims to restore faith among Nepali citizens in the higher educational institutions available in the country, especially TU, and to encourage stakeholders to recognize the sensitivity of the issue so that brain drain can be reduced. To achieve this, the author selects various media writings on the higher education sector, websites, reports, and books on Gagne's psychological theory and the history of higher education in Nepal, adhering to qualitative research methods. The findings indicate that there is a need for correction and self-evaluation among TU authorities, Nepali political parties, and other stakeholders to contribute positively and help the university maintain its good image.

El tema de la política cultural ha alcanzado un lugar de notable centralidad en el marco de las tareas de los gobiernos federal, estatales y municipales del país. Esto se debe en gran parte al reconocimiento del fuerte impacto económico que tienen la cultura tradicional, las industrias culturales y el patrimonio, así como a los cambios ocurridos en la relación entre el trabajo y el tiempo libre en las sociedades urbanas. Adicionalmente, el incremento de la presencia de las grandes corporaciones transnacionales de la comunicación y el entretenimiento en la vida cotidiana de todos los que formamos la sociedad mexicana se ha convertido en tema de importante discusión política.
IV. Los contenidos de la política cultural
Authors: Nivón Bolán Eduardo
Published: October 2024

A esta altura del texto la pregunta sobre si el estado debe intervenir o no en el sector cultural parece superflua. Desde las primeras reuniones internacionales sobre el tema se hizo alusión a la Declaración Universal de los Derechos Humanos que, en su artículo 27, establece el derecho a tomar parte libremente en la vida cultural de la comunidad, a gozar de las artes y a participar en el progreso científico y en los beneficios que de él resulten, así como a la protección de los intereses morales y materiales que le correspondan por razón de las producciones científicas, literarias o artísticas de que sea autora. Por otra parte, en el artículo 22 se determina que toda persona como miembro de la sociedad debe obtener –por el esfuerzo nacional y la cooperación internacional– la satisfacción de los derechos económicos, sociales y culturales, indispensables a su dignidad y al libre desarrollo de su personalidad. Sin embargo, vale la pena recopilar argumentos en torno a este tema y explorar otras dimensiones.

Published: October 2024

Various previous studies have responded to the study of the challenges of moral degradation in the digital era. However, the focus of the study has not yet been found in the form of the integrality of Qur'anic verse-based Learning with a locus in Madrasah Tsanawiyah. It is believed that this integrality fosters students' religious attitudes. This study aims to develop a product of integrated science teaching materials of the Qur'anic verses to improve students' religious attitudes in madrasah. This type of research is research and development (R&D), adapting the Borg & Gall model with the ADDIE stages, analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation, because it is considered relevant to describe the chronology of Learning product development from the beginning. The results of this study found that science teaching materials integrated with al-Qur'an verses are valid and very feasible to use in student science Learning at MTsN Konawe Regency with an average value of 91.98% of the validity test results. Then, science teaching materials integrated with al-Qur'an values have a practicality value to be applied at MTsN Konawe Regency, marked by the average score of 1.64 small groups and 1.79 large groups. Science teaching materials integrated with al-Qur'an values are effectively used in science Learning after being developed in small and large groups with a probability value (r) Sig. = 0.000 <a = 0.05, meaning there is a significant difference in students' spiritual attitudes before and after treatment using science teaching materials integrated with the Qur'an. Thus, it is concluded that the product of science teaching materials integrated with al-Qur'an verses is appropriate for improving students' religious attitudes in madrasah.

Introducción: Las radios escolares en la Región de Murcia plantean todo un reto en pro de poder conocer los datos de su implementación en los centros educativos y entendiendo este medio de comunicación como una herramienta fundamental para el fomento de la competencia mediática entre los estudiantes y como vehículo para poner en valor el currículum. Metodología: A través de métodos cuantitativos y cualitativos se persigue identificar las escuelas de Educación Infantil y Primaria que cuentan con radio educativa, su puesta en práctica y las posibilidades metodológicas y formativas que de su uso se desprenden. Resultados: Un 15,26% de los centros que han participado en el estudio (todos de carácter público) tienen radio escolar. Discusión: Más de dos tercios repiten la experiencia más años. Todos destacan los múltiples beneficios que aporta a la comunidad educativa, sobre todo en el desarrollo de competencias comunicativas. Conclusiones: En los últimos años, se ha impulsado la puesta en marcha de estudios y políticas de ayuda para fomentar el uso de la radio escolar. No existen en los centros especialistas en radio escolar, sino miembros de equipos directivos/profesores que se reparten responsabilidades para usarla. Sería conveniente implantar educomunicadores que velaran por el óptimo funcionamiento de esta herramienta educativa esencial.
Cechy dyskursu wykluczenia na przykładzie sejmowej debaty nad prawami osób LGBT
Authors: Polkowska Laura
Published: October 2024

W artykule została podjęta próba zdefiniowania dyskursu wykluczenia, podstawę czego stanowił przegląd literatury poświęconej zagadnieniu nieetycznej komunikacji. W dalszej części tekstu analizie poddano debatę sejmową nad prawami osób LGBT oraz wykazano, że stanowiła ona przykład dyskursu wykluczenia, u jej podstaw leżało bowiem zredukowanie osób nieheteronormatywnych do ich seksualności. Zostały one wykreowane na prototypowego obcego, stanowiącego zagrożenie dla „normalnego” systemu wartości, niezasługującego na swobody obywatelskie czy równe traktowanie.
Typy i funkcje przełączania kodu językowego (code-switching) w wywiadzie z dzieckiem bilingwalnym
Authors: Młyński Rafał , Majewska-Tworek Anna
Published: October 2024

Problematyka przełączania kodu językowego u dzieci jest rzadko zgłębiana przez polskich lingwistów, zwłaszcza na przykładzie analizy nagranych i przetranskrybowanych spontanicznych wypowiedzi. W dwóch różnych wywiadach (logopedycznym i biograficznym) zbadano zjawisko code-switching u dzieci w wieku wczesnoszkolnym, dla których L1 stanowi język polski, a L2 – język angielski. Wskazuje się istnienie trzech głównych typów CS: alternację, wtrącenie oraz kongruentną leksykalizację (Muysken 1997, 2000). Pokazują też istotną zależność między relacją nadawczo-odbiorczą a występowaniem CS. W związku z tym w artykule zadano trzy pytania: jakie typy CS można wyróżnić w analizowanej konwersacji z dzieckiem bilingwalnym?; jaka jest dominująca funkcja CS w badanych wypowiedziach dziecięcych? czy rodzaj wywiadu i determinowana nim relacja nadawczo-odbiorcza ma wpływ na występowanie CS w badanych wypowiedziach mówców? W przeanalizowanym materiale dominowały wtrącenia leksykalne wynikające z funkcjonalnej dominacji L2 u obojga dzieci. Zauważono, że typ relacji nadawczo-odbiorczej ma wpływ na stosowanie CS. Ponadto oba wywiady sprzyjają występowaniu CS, a dzięki temu – kontynuowaniu interakcji werbalnej.

The article examines the design and management of engineering systems in the context of growing data volumes in local computer networks. With the development of swarm intelligence, the probability of the existence of the necessary information for managing engineering systems increases, but the possibility of finding it decreases. This creates the need to develop new methods and tools for using adaptive algorithms of swarm intelligence. The purpose of such algorithms is to ensure the ability to process information and find queries with maximum relevance, generating the largest number of search results (SERPs) containing technical information. The development of swarm intelligence algorithms is impossible without their intellectualization, which includes semantic and syntactic analysis of texts, natural language tools, and intelligent algorithms for determining the significance of information resources. In digital information retrieval systems (DIRS), a query is formed in the form of keywords or their combinations, connected by logical operations. To search for the same information, different keywords are used, the choice of which is subjective. The first stage of the algorithm consists in determining the set of meaningful correspondences and forming the initial set of requests within the engineering system. To ensure the completeness of the selection, the total relevance of the SERP in relation to the group of significance criteria is considered. There is a need to develop an efficient neural network algorithm to solve the problem of assigning one SERP to each group of query criteria. This will make it possible to distribute SERPs by criteria groups so that each page is evaluated mainly by one criteria group, and the total relevance of all groups is maximized. Thus, the article emphasizes the importance of developing new methods and tools for implementing adaptive swarm intelligence algorithms in engineering systems. Special attention is paid to the development of effective neural network algorithms that will ensure optimal distribution of the relevance of search pages, which will increase the accuracy and efficiency of information search in complex engineering systems.
On the stability of the rotation of the free system of two elastic Lagrange gyroscopes, one of which has an ideal liquid
Authors:   Institute of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Kononov Yu.
Published: October 2024

On the basis of the known equations of motion of the system of coupled gyrostats by P. V. Kharlamov and the state function by S. L. Sobolev, the equations of rotation of a free system of two elastically coupled Lagrange gyroscopes were derived, one of which has an arbitrary axisymmetric cavity completely filled with an ideal incompressible fluid. The rigid bodies are connected by an elastic restoring spherical hinge. A transcendental characteristic equation of the perturbed uniform rotation of the mechanical system under consideration is derived. Taking into account the fundamental tone of the fluid oscillation, a characteristic equation of the fifth order is obtained. On the basis of the Liénard – Chipart criterion written in the inor form, the necessary conditions for the stability of the uniform rotation of the Lagrange gyroscopes and the fluid are written out as a system of four inequalities. With respect to the elasticity coefficient, these inequalities have degrees 1, 3, 6 and 8, respectively. Analytical studies of the leading coefficients of these stability conditions are carried out. It is shown that when the center of mass of the first solid body with liquid or the second does not coincide with the common point of these bodies, then at sufficiently large values of the elasticity coefficient the necessary stability conditions will always be satisfied. In the absence of elasticity in the hinge, the characteristic equation has a double zero root and in this case the stability conditions require additional studies. The obtained stability conditions are exact for an ellipsoidal cavity and approximate for other axisymmetric cavities. To clarify the obtained glass conditions for these voids, it is necessary to take into account additional tones of oscillation of an ideal liquid.

The issues considered in the article are related to determining the effect of mechanical activation on the properties of cement-water compositions and building mortars based on them. The activation of cement in combination with the use of ground quartz sand and the superplasticizer Relaxol-Super PC is relevant for this study. The amount of quartz sand was adjusted in the range from 0 to 40% of the cement mass, and the superplasticizer (0,15 – 1,5%) of the binder mass. The use of this technology ensures acceleration of cement hydration processes, maintaining the required level of composition mobility with a lower consumption of mixing water, and intensification of exothermic heating. The presented experimental data made it possible to evaluate the effect of the binder activation period and the superplasticizer consumption on the flow of the aqueous cement-containing composition. It was found that the main contribution to the decrease in the water-solid ratio (provided that equiviscous compositions are obtained) is achieved by activating the cement-containing composition for 180 sec. with the addition of 1,5% superplasticizing additive. The water-solid ratio decreases by more than 50%. A further increase in the amount of plasticizer has low efficiency and has little effect on decreasing the water-solid ratio. Activation in combination with reduced water hardening of the cement-water composition contributes to both an increase in the heating intensity and an increase in its maximum temperature. After activation, the maximum temperature increased by 5-11% compared to the non-activated cement-water composition. The peak of the exothermic reaction for the mechanically activated cement-water composition occurs 3 hours earlier compared to the non-activated mixture. The increase in the strength of the mortar on mechanically activated cement with the addition of a superplasticizing additive reached 71% compared to the control.

Published: October 2024

Para algumas espécies, a cor do tegumento é utilizada como indicativo da qualidade das sementes. Em vista disso, como as sementes de feijão guandu podem apresentar variação da cor do tegumento, é possível que esta característica física influencie a viabilidade e o vigor das sementes desta espécie. Portanto, objetivou-se avaliar o potencial fisiológico das sementes de guandu cv. Fava Larga, em função da cor do tegumento. Foram utilizados dois lotes (A e B) de sementes comerciais. Foi adotado o delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com quatro repetições e os tratamentos foram representados por quatro cores do tegumento (cinza, vermelho, laranja e mista – lote original). Em cada lote as sementes foram separadas manualmente e classificadas visualmente, quanto à cor do tegumento. Posteriormente, foram realizadas as determinações do teor de água e do peso de mil sementes. Foram avaliados primeira contagem de germinação, percentual de germinação, percentagem de emergência em campo, índice de velocidade de emergência, tempo médio de emergência, a massa seca das plântulas e a condutividade elétrica. Os dados foram submetidos à análise da variância pelo teste F e as médias comparadas pelo teste de Tukey (p < 0,05). As sementes com tegumento vermelho (lote A) e com tegumento laranja (lote B) apresentam maior vigor, demonstrando a relação existente entre a cor do tegumento e o nível de vigor. Portanto, a classificação de sementes por cor do tegumento pode contribuir para elevar a qualidade das sementes do lote.

Published: October 2024

Os quintais produtivos são sistemas agroflorestais, localizados próximos às residências, com uma grande diversificação de espécies vegetais e com variados usos, por exemplo: alimentação, ornamentação, medicinal, condimentar. Portanto, estudos sobre a diversidade florística são de grande importância, por abordarem dados como a florística e a fitossociologia, permitindo o entendimento da estrutura das comunidades presentes nesses espaços e a identificação dessas espécies. Dessa forma, a presente pesquisa objetivou analisar a pluralidade vegetacional e parâmetros fitossociológicos em quintais produtivos, através de um levantamento florístico em uma área urbana do Sertão Central Pernambucano. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida na cidade de Salgueiro-PE, no Bairro Santo Antônio, tendo 60 quintais produtivos do referido bairro como foco de estudo. Visto isso, realizou-se uma pesquisa de campo, com abordagem quanli-quantitativa. Com relação ao levantamento florístico, ocorreram visitas aos ambientes, onde o mantenedor do local informava o nome vernáculo das plantas e o seu uso. Ao final, foram feitos registros fotográficos dos espécimes para posterior identificação. Além disso, analisou-se os seguintes parâmetros fitossociológicos: Índice de Diversidade de Shannon-Wiener (H’) e Equitabilidade de Shannon-Wiener (H’). Com isso, no levantamento florístico identificou-se 2.325 indivíduos, distribuídos em 156 espécies e 59 famílias botânicas. A família Araceae, apesar de possuir compostos tóxicos, sobressaiu-se com um número expressivo de indivíduos, tendo a espécie Dieffenbaia seguine (Jacq.) Schott. como destaque nos quintais. Quanto ao uso e origem dos espécimes, 73,72% são para fins ornamentais e 87,18% são de origem exótica. No levantamento fitossociológico, os índices demonstraram que os quintais apresentam alta diversidade vegetal e heterogeneidade de espécies, confirmando uma distribuição uniforme entre o número de indivíduos.

Published: October 2024

This study investigated the combined effects of agomelatine, a melatonergic antidepressant, and cetuximab, an EGFR inhibitor, on the colorectal cancer cell line (Caco-2). Caco-2 cells were treated with agomelatine (0.3 μg/ml and 3 μg/ml) and cetuximab (50 μg/ml), individually and in combination, for 24 and 48 hours. Cell viability was assessed using the MTT assay. Gene expression analysis of EGFR, BCL2, PIK3CA, BAX, mTOR, and AKT3 was performed using real-time PCR. All treatment groups showed significant decreases in cell viability compared to the control (p<0.05), with enhanced effects in combined treatments. EGFR expression was significantly reduced in drug-treated groups, particularly with cetuximab (p<0.05). While changes were observed in BCL2, PIK3CA, BAX, mTOR, and AKT3 expression, these were not statistically significant (p>0.05). This study demonstrates the potential synergistic cytotoxic effects of agomelatine and cetuximab on Caco-2 colorectal cancer cells. The significant reduction in EGFR expression suggests a potential mechanism of action. These findings provide insights into combining chemotherapeutic agents with drugs addressing circadian rhythm disorders in CRC treatment strategies. Further research is warranted to elucidate the clinical implications of these observations.

On September 11, 1973, one of the bloodiest dictatorships in Latin America began with the violent overthrow of Salvador Allende’s government. In this article, I analyze the resistance organized by the Elenos, militants of the National Liberation Army, based on the testimony of a Socialist Party member who later went into exile in Mexico. I apply oral history methodology to examine his involvement in defending the Popular Unity government. My analysis aims to identify the individual and collective resistance strategies employed during and after the coup, contributing to the broader understanding of leftist movements' resistance in Chile.

Published: October 2024

The results of a study of rare-earth metals in dictyonema shales of the Paleozoic Baltic sedimentary basin, have been given. On the territory of the studied Kaibolovo-Gostilitsy prospecting area, high up to potentially industrial contents of rare-earth elements were confirmed on a large factual and analytical material. The average REE concentration is 289 g/t with maximum up to 724 g/t. REE are found in dictyonema shales in various forms (mineral, organic, ionic, molecular, colloidal). Apparently, the occurrence of REE in the mineral part of dictyonema shales prevails. The proportion of heavy (and most valuable) lanthanides (15.6% in the relative total amount) in the studied dictyonema shales is twice the ore deposits range. This, and the presence of large geological resources of the REE in the dictyonema shales of the Baltic region of Russia, determine the need for their integrated development with other associated components.

Published: October 2024

The work presents for the first time the results of obtaining titanium carbide using a vacuum-free electric arc method using various types of biocarbon obtained by classical pyrolysis of biomass waste, such as tangerine peel, pomelo peel, banana peel, pine nut shells, walnut shells. Analysis of X-ray diffraction patterns of the synthesized materials showed the repeatability of the experiment with the receipt of diffraction maxima indicating the formation of a cubic structure of titanium carbide. An analysis of the thermal oxidation of the resulting powders showed that up to a thousand degrees the process proceeds quite slowly, but with increasing temperature the oxidation rate increases significantly. It has been established that during thermal heating in an oxidizing environment, the mass of the studied titanium carbide powders obtained using various types of carbon increases, which is confirmed by thermogravimetric analysis.

239Pu has the property of initiating radiogenic diseases in workers who come into contact with it during their professional activities. To study adverse medical and biological effects and to study in detail the potential consequences of plutonium exposure on the body of personnel at nuclear energy facilities, it is necessary to form a cohort of people involved in working with this isotope. The purpose of the study is to form and characterize a cohort of Siberian Chemical Plant sublimation production employees involved in working with 239Pu in the period 1953–2000. The source of information for forming the cohort was the database of the regional medical and dosimetric register of the population of closed administrative-territorial formation Seversk and the personnel of the Siberian Chemical Plant, containing personal, dosimetric, medical and biological information regarding all current and former employees of the Siberian Chemical Plant (about 65,000 people) since the founding of the enterprise till now. As part of this work, a cohort of sublimation production employees involved in working with 239Pu 9 in 1953–2000 was formed (1,052 people, 577 men and 475 women). The dosimetric, medical and biological characteristics of workers included in the sublimation production cohort are given. The created sublimation production cohort will make it possible to conduct comprehensive retrospective and prospective epidemiological studies to assess the morbidity and mortality of nuclear energy facilities employees, as well as to draw scientifically based conclusions regarding the role of 239Pu in the initiation of the most important socially significant non-infectious diseases (for example, malignant neoplasms, diseases of the circulatory system etc.) and mortality from these diseases. The scientific data obtained as a result of this study will make it possible to determine the main directions for organizing a system for assessing risks to the health of personnel at sites for the decommissioning of nuclear facilities and the formation of a set of measures aimed at improving the health-saving system of nuclear facilities employees and extending their working longevity.
Die Kraft der Kontroverse – Zur Geburt einer epistemischen Gabelung im Richtungsstreit des Volksbüchereiwesens in der Kaiserzeit
Authors: Ebner von Eschenbach Malte
Published: October 2024

Der Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit den Anfängen des Richtungsstreits im Volksbibliothekswesen vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg (1912/1913). Anlässlich der Publikation Die Politik der Bücherei (1912) von Paul Ladewig entbrannte eine hart umkämpfte Kontroverse um den Stellenwert und die Ausrichtung der öffentlichen Büchereien im Volksbildungswesen. Der Richtungsstreit führte zu einer epistemischen Gabelung im Volksbildungswesen, die die Unterscheidung zwischen Neuer und Alter Richtung evozierte. Dadurch wurden Volksbibliotheken als Institutionalform für die Bildungsarbeit in der Weimarer Zeit aus bildungspolitischer Sicht nicht mehr als verlässliche Partnerin im Volksbildungswesen wahrgenommen.
Un|Vereinbarkeiten zwischen Lebenswelt und Arbeitswelt – Kommentierung einer Kontroverse im Kontext der arbeitsorientierten Grundbildung
Authors: Cora Songül
Published: October 2024

Die arbeitsorientierte Grundbildung ermöglicht neben lebensweltorientierten Ansätzen niedrigschwellige Zugänge zu Bildung und Lernen im Kontext von Arbeit. Ihre Grenzlinien sind jedoch für eine Differenzierung zwischen den didaktischen Prinzipien der Arbeitsorientierung und Lebensweltorientierung nicht immer eindeutig. Sie erweist sich als neuer Aushandlungsort für diese Kontroverse, bei der Peter Alheits kritische Einschätzungen zum Einzug lebensweltorientierter Ansätze in die Erwachsenenbildung an Aktualität gewinnen.
The CCN Family of Proteins: A Critical Approach to the Multi-Modular Structure of the CCN Domains
Authors: Perbal Bernard
Published: October 2024

The CCN family of proteins is composed of six members (CCN1-CCN6) sharing a tetra-modular organization and a striking conservation of their primary structure. The CCN acronym was originally assigned in 1993 by P. Bork to three newly discovered factors (originally called CTGF, CYR61, and NOV), which he proposed to constitute a new family of proteins on the basis of their common physical features. Six years later, three other proteins (Wisp1-3), sharing the same tetramodular organization, joined the family (figure 1). The HUGO-recognized acronyms for the CCN proteins were officialized in 2018[1].

The CCN family turned out to contain positive and negative regulators of cell proliferation and differentiation, with pro- and anti-tumorigenic activities. A significant amount of work has been performed to identify the participation of the constitutive modules in these biological features. The aim of this review is to briefly examine the potential roles assigned to the constitutive modules of CCN proteins and propose a critical view of the structural basis for their interactions and functions.
Jacques Freymond on the Study and Research of International Relations
Authors: Soják Vladimír

Leading representative of political science in Switzerland, director of the Geneva Institute of International Relations and at the same time president of International Association of Political Science prof. Jacques Freymond spoke on March 5. 1967 at the Institute for International Politics and Economics in Prague about basic issues of international relations research studies.
He showed himself to be a follower of the traditional approach, characterized by a particularly historical one connections and long-term perspectives of development. As for the theory of international relationship, evaluated the vast majority of attempts to manage this issue so far as not very successful, very positively he only appreciated Raymond Aron's work Peace and War between Nations. He was also wary of new methodological approaches, typical of the United States. He acknowledged that they bring a lot new knowledge that we can, however, increase new and simpler to deduce with traditional approaches. Attempts to generalize and absolutize them often lead to distortions, coz documented for example on the theory of decision-making, group pressure, public mean and generally on the use of quantitative methods.
Reunited Germany in the Post-bipolar World
Authors: Lübkemeier Eckhard
Published: October 2024

Among the "domestic" determinants of Germany's international role and its foreign policy, its complete unification emerges as the most important task. Germany was united politically; but the material and mental division between its western and eastern parts has yet to be overcome. The magnitude of this task is shown by the following few numbers. In 1991, total requirements in East Germany were almost twice the gross domestic product, and this ratio has not changed since then. The differences were balanced by transfers from West Germany, which reached 5-6% of West German GDP. The real level of unemployment in East Germany (taking into account retraining and the creation of new job opportunities, as well as to work on forced reduced working hours) is at least 35%, although the growth in 1992 was 9.7% and in 1993 it was 6.3%. This growth was mainly the result of a boom in the construction industry, as well as the expansion of services and small businesses. The critical task is to remove the East German economy's dependence on government funding and create a self-sustaining recovery. This can only be achieved if the mass deindustrialization of East Germany is stopped and a competitive new industrial sector.
The Kozyrev Doctrine – The Russian Variant of the Monroe Doctrine
Authors: Litera Bohuslav
Published: October 2024

The Russian term "near abroad" is used to refer to the neighboring states of the Russian Federation. For those that, until the collapse of the Soviet Union, were part of it as union republics. From a geopolitical point of view, it therefore coincides with the borders of the former Soviet Union. Currently, the area includes the Commonwealth of Independent States and, in addition, those countries that did not join the CIS, i.e. the Baltic States.
It is clear from the attitudes of the representatives of the official Russian foreign policy that Russia's relationship with this near foreign country, especially after the events of October and after the December elections in 1993, experienced a relatively significant, more officially, fully declared shift. What Russia practiced more or less covertly until then is now openly admitted. However, it was only the completion of a trend in Russian politics that had been evident since at least the beginning of 1993. It is evident that Russia has proceeded to restore and strengthen its dominant influence on the territory of the entire former Soviet Union.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui Implementasi Pembelajaran Akidah Akhlak dalam Membentuk Akhlak Siswa di Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Fathul Huda Grobogan Mojowarno Jombang.
Jeni penelitian ini penelitian kualitatif yang bersifat deskriptif. Teknik pengumpulan datanya menggunakan wawancara, observasi dan dokumentasi. Teknik analisis datanya menggunakan metode induktif, deduktif dan komperatif.
Hasil penelitian ini berdasarkan observasi dan wawancara yang dilakukan, menunjukkan bahwa siswa-siswa madrasah secara konsisten berperilaku yang mencerminkan nilai-nilai akhlak, seperti sopan santun, beribadah dengan disiplin, dan berinteraksi dengan sesama dengan sikap yang baik. Mereka juga melaksanakan kegiatan keagamaan seperti shalat Dhuha, mengaji kitab Aqidatul Awwam, Tahlil dan Istighosah. Pendidikan akidah akhlak tidak hanya berfokus pada pengajaran teori, tetapi juga menerapkan nilai-nilai tersebut dalam kehidupan sehari-hari siswa, sejalan dengan teori-teori pendidikan karakter yang menekankan pentingnya integrasi nilai-nilai moral dalam kurikulum untuk membentuk individu yang berakhlak mulia dan bertanggung jawab. Kendala yang dialami dalam pembelajaran akidah akhlak siswa adalah pengaruh pergaulan dan penggunaan teknologi (HP).
