Features of the “Fourier Analysis” Option in the Excel Spreadsheet When Performing Spectral Analysis and Identifying Periodic Patterns in the Time Series of Economic Indicators
Authors: Popov George
Published: May 2024

The Excel spreadsheet, which is available "at hand" for each researcher of time series of economic data, allows for their Fourier analysis, that is, to identify cycles in them, and select a functional approximation for them. However, it does this using the FFT algorithm. The FFT algorithm is not familiar to a wide range of users who are not too sophisticated in higher mathematics – economists, merchants, managers, engineers. This work is addressed to them, the purpose of which is to teach how to use this option for spectral analysis and to identify periodic patterns in the time series of economic indicators. The peculiarity of using Excel is that the result of the calculation using the "Fourier Analysis" option is issued in an "encrypted" form, which may be understandable for a mathematician, but for a researcher of economic indicators is completely incomprehensible. In this paper, the sequential decryption of the operation of the option is carried out by communicating with it and asking it questions, the answers to which we already know. As a result, an algorithm for decrypting the option response is obtained. and an algorithm for constructing a functional type of periodic patterns. Thus, there is a possibility of forecasting not only on the basis of a trend model, but also much deeper - taking into account the identified periodicities. The algorithm of such forecasting is also given.
Organization of Work with Project Stakeholders
Authors: Dubskaya Aleksandra
Published: May 2024

In the context of macroeconomic instability, the issue of managing the interaction with stakeholders of projects that have various types of resources necessary for successful project activities is of particular importance. The identification of stakeholders and the subsequent preparation of a strategy of interaction and communication with them contribute to a more accurate and effective implementation of project activities. The purpose of the study is to analyze stakeholders from the point of view of a diagram of interest and degree of influence on the project and develop a communication plan for the most influential parties to the project. As examples of stakeholders in a construction project, we can identify the customer, the project team participant, the expert of state expertise, the general contractor, the supplier of technological equipment, the representative of administration. During the existence of the modern theory of stakeholders, a number of models have appeared by which it is possible to determine the strategy of interaction with stakeholders and organize their types. To visualize the level of influence of stakeholders on the project and work out an information exchange plan, it is recommended to produce a special diagram. The chart of interest and impact on the project should be periodically checked against the list of stakeholder data and changes should be observed. Based on the above scheme, it is proposed to develop a communication plan for the most influential parties. Continuous monitoring and timely adjustment of the stakeholder engagement strategy creates the conditions under which maintaining a strong relationship with these persons becomes possible throughout the life cycle of the project.

Published: May 2024

Every year, the Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation holds a competition of small towns and historical settlements for the improvement of public spaces. In 2023, it was decided to separate the cities of the Far Eastern Federal District into an independent competition.
In the cities of the country, the experience of participating in the submission of applications from city administrations has been accumulating for a long time. In 2023, the 8th All-Russian competition of small towns was held in the Russian Federation in parallel with the first and second competition of projects in the Far Eastern Federal District. Undoubtedly, for the Far Eastern Federal District and precisely for small settlements, this is perhaps the only opportunity to get large funds for the development of public space. Some of these settlements last received such a lot of money for landscaping during the Soviet Union.
In the article, on the example of individual settlements of the Republic of Buryatia, the substantiation of approaches to the submission of competitive applications is carried out so that the applications become winning.
The article is intended for specialists in urban economics, marketers, developers and will be useful in preparing bids for similar contests in the coming years.

Published: May 2024

The residential real estate market has political, economic, socio-demographic, environmental and technological significance for Russia. The problem of maintaining and developing this market, including by maintaining demand, is constantly in the focus of attention of the state and scientists. Demand in the residential real estate market has a complex structure and is influenced by many non-random and random interacting factors. To ensure scientifically based demand management at all levels, including at the level of developers, it is necessary to systematically study demand and trends in the factors influencing it, which determines the relevance of the topic. The article examines some approaches to defining the concept of “demand” in the residential real estate market, presents a refined version of the definition, considers approaches to identifying demand factors, and shows a variant of a systematic approach to their grouping, allowing to establish the mutual influence of factors. A number of important trends in demand factors that have developed recently, including for the current year, are considered. The growing importance of factors influencing demand at the level of developer organizations in the local market is shown.

The Study of the Industrial Infrastructure of Irkutsk-II During World War II
Authors: Cherepanova Maria
Published: May 2024

During the years of the Great Patriotic War, Soviet industry was evacuated from the western regions of the country to the deep east - to Siberia, unprecedented in world history. The article deals with the chronology of wartime events in 1941–1945. The author used declassified materials from archival documents, but mainly the works of S.N. Aksenov «Irkutsk Aviation Plant. History of Education 1932–1956». The object of the study was the industrial infrastructure of Irkutsk-II (village of aircraft builders), which became the industrial epicenter of the region during the Second World War. The phenomena considered in the study reflect not only regional specifics, but also all-Russian trends. Therefore, some economic indicators of the aircraft industry of that time are given, despite the confidential nature of the industry. On the basis of the study, the author concluded that during the period of 1941–1945, the aircraft industry was the infrastructure-forming industry of the Irkutsk region.
The Relationship Between Self-Esteem and Self-Presentation Strategies and the Construction of a Network Self-Image by Users of Social Networks
Authors: Vorobyeva Klarisa , Zaslavsky Dmitry
Published: May 2024

The article is devoted to an empirical analysis of the relationship between self-esteem and strategies for self-presentation and the construction of a network Self-image of users of social networks. In the definition and study of self-esteem, differences were taken into account not only in the level of self-esteem as such, but also in its various types, determined by a different combination of two dimensions of self-esteem: self-disposition (self-worth) and competence. To measure self-esteem, methods were used – the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale (RSES), the Tafarodi and Swan scale (SLCS). The Online Self Presentation Scale (POSS) developed by K. Fullwood, B.M. James and C.H. Chen-Wilson was used to identify strategies for self-presentation in social networks and to construct a network Self-image. The conducted analysis showed the absence of significant statistical links between the level of self-esteem, both global and by individual components, and indicators of the intensity of use of social networks. The results of comparing the level of self-esteem among users with a different network role, that is, a predominant level of activity in online communications, turned out to be more definite. The interrelationships between the level and type of self-esteem, on the one hand, and strategies of self-presentation and the construction of a network self-image, on the other hand, are revealed. It has been proven that users with low self-esteem significantly distort their Self-image when communicating on social networks, tend to idealize their Self-image and show a desire to adjust their image to the expectations of a specific network audience. People with high self-esteem demonstrate more conservative models of online communication, are not inclined to self-promotion and idealization of the Self-image, as well as to the divergence of Self-images in various networks and communities.

Published: May 2024

The key role in the development of fundamental and applied sciences at the present stage of scientific and technological progress is played by various processes of integration and differentiation of scientific knowledge, including the increase, expansion and deepening, in particular, of academic sciences. At the same time, new trends in development are being studied and traditional, long-established ideas about their place and role in the system of scientific branches of knowledge are being reconsidered. Today, there is clearly a situation in which the desire to revise, correct, develop something new (different) has become a very common phenomenon. One of these sciences is criminalistics. Scientific ideas about its subject have changed several times since its inception. The purpose of this study is to identify the most common ideas about the nature and character of the science; establish changes in the content and motives for reconsidering its key provisions. The source of the data were the results of a study of the most famous forensic scientists of the middle and end of the last century, as well as some fundamental works of the author’s teams of the last years of the publication. In the course of the study, four scientific concepts on the subject of criminalistics were identified, a brief description of them was given.

A madeira é um material versátil e sustentável que tem ampla utilização na construção civil, cumprindo funções estruturais e de acabamento. No entanto, é suscetível ao crescimento de fungos filamentosos, incluindo bolores. Este estudo avalia a eficácia das nanopartículas de prata no combate ao Aspergillus niger, uma cepa fúngica comum na madeira de Pinus elliottii. Amostras padronizadas de madeira esterilizados foram tratados com concentrações variadas de nanopartículas de prata para avaliar sua atividade antifúngica. Tanto as amostras tratadas como as não tratadas foram inoculadas com Aspergillus niger para promover a formação de biofilme. As unidades formadoras de colônias presentes no biofilme aderido de cada amostra foram quantificadas e a atividade metabólica foi avaliada. Os resultados demonstraram que todas as amostras de madeira tratadas com nanopartículas de prata inibiram efetivamente o crescimento do biofilme e a atividade metabólica de Aspergillus niger. Consequentemente, pode-se concluir que o tratamento da madeira com nanopartículas de prata inibe efetivamente o crescimento do biofilme e a atividade metabólica do Aspergillus niger. Este tratamento inovador tem um potencial significativo para melhorar a qualidade e durabilidade das estruturas de madeira na construção. Além disso, a prevenção da formação de mofo contribui para melhorar a qualidade de vida dos moradores e do meio ambiente, pois reduz a necessidade de produtos de limpeza e minimiza a necessidade de reformas prediais que geram resíduos em aterros sanitários.

Развитие отечественного ландшафтоведения сопровождалось формулированием теоретических положений, которые определяли объект и методы исследований, а также обосновывали выбор методов ландшафтного анализа. Ландшафтоведение развивалось как область географических знаний, которая синтезировала полевые (экспериментальные) знания в виде модельных представлений. В своем становлении ландшафтоведении прошло несколько этапов, начиная с описательных методов анализа морфологии ландшафта, использования методов системного анализа при изучении функционирования и динамики ландшафта. В настоящее время в исследовании ландшафтных объектов и геосистем получило развитие использование формализованных методов (ГИС, математические модели). Предлагается осуществить модернизацию теоретических положений ландшафтоведения с учетом современных представлений и возможностей, реализуемых в отраслевых науках о Земле, основанных на широком использовании геофизических методов исследования.

В работе представлены результаты палеоэкологических исследований крупнобугристого болота Игарка (Туру-ханский район, Красноярский край). Выполнена интерпретация и обобщение результатов различных видов анализов, предложена концептуальная схема развития бугра пучения в голоцене. В ходе исследования болота изучена его современная ландшафтная структура, выполнены определения видов мхов, которые показали преобладание олиготрофных местообитаний. Согласно полученным данным, болото Игарка начало формироваться около 6200 кал. л. н. на месте влажного лиственничника путем суходольного заболачивания во время потепления среднего голоцена. Появление признаков промерзания торфяного бугра и его интенсивный подъем соотносятся с временными рубежами 5360 и 2250 кал. (калиброванных) л.н., что можно объяснить региональным похолоданием. Развитие торфяного бугра пучения было связано как с процессами саморазвития, так и с климатическими изменениями в Российской Арктике.

Статья посвящена результатам изучения морфологии и генезиса западинного рельефа Оренбургской области, распространенного в бассейне р. Салмыш на участках резкого расширения долины реки. Траншея, заложенная через элементы микрорельефа, вскрыла криотурбированное строение почв с грунтовыми структурами, морфология и материал заполнения которых свидетельствуют об их связи с палеокриогенными жильными образованиями. Результаты исследования свидетельствуют о криогенно-термокарстовом генезисе изученного западинного микрорельефа и позволяют связать его с реликтовой криогенной морфоскульптурой, образовавшейся в результате вытаивания полигонально-жильных льдов, на стадии предположительно ярославского криогенеза.

Работа направлена на выявление биогеохимической специализации высших водных растений и особенностей накопления ими тяжелых металлов и металлоидов в дельтах Волги и Селенги в зависимости от ландшафтных и экологических условий. Работа основана на результатах экспедиционных исследований 2017-2019 гг. и лабораторных исследований, включавших анализ химического состава компонентов аквальных ландшафтов методом ICP-MS. Показано, что содержание химических элементов в высших водных растениях, произрастающих в дельтовых водотоках и водоемах, зависит от их биогеохимической специализации, ландшафтных условий, антропогенного воздействия. В целом концентрации ТММ в высших водных растениях увеличиваются в ряду от гигрофитов узколистных до гидрофитов погруженных, что обусловлено условиями произрастания растений. В дельте Волги наибольшим накоплением тяжелых металлов характеризуются сальви-ния и роголистник, что обусловлено их биогеохимической специализацией. В дельте Селенги выявлены фоновые виды и виды-концентраторы. Содержания ТММ в одних и тех же видах растений, произрастающих в дельтах Волги и Селенги близки, что свидетельствует об их универсальной индикаторной значимости.

Armenian Media System Overview According to the Hallin and Mancini Model
Authors: Izquierdo-Iranzo Patricia , Sayadyan Liana
Published: May 2024

An overview of the Armenian media system is presented from the perspective of media professionals. Interference with the media system by the political system is analysed and the health of the Armenian media system is explored in the context of its transition from a Soviet republic towards a liberal model. The international situation contextualises analysis (resurgence of Russia–West enmity and globalisation) as does Armenia’s troubled relationship with its neighbours: with Turkey due to the 1915 genocide and with Azerbaijan because of the dispute over Nagorno-Karabakh. Relevant domestic affairs, such as the successful citizens’ mobilisation and the 2018 Velvet Revolution are also considered. The methodology used is based on in-depth interviews carried out in Yerevan (09/23) with 13 key informants; their answers are explored with content analysis using Hallin and Mancini’s dimensions. The study will serve to discuss how the media are used as tools of power and how the media system reproduces the political system (polarisation and individual ownership). We find that media is owned and/or controlled by political parties, and that the government controls public media but also part of the private sector through broadcasting licences and economic pressure. News media are not self-sustainable, thus, media economic dependence compromises its editorial independence, and very few media are independent. There is plurality, but highly polarised; there is no systematic censorship, but defamation fines reinforce journalists’ self-censorship; internet freedom is high but generates misinformation. Even so, there is professionalism, therefore there may yet be hope for the media if peace and the economy stabilise.
THE EU BORDER EXTERNALIZATION: COOPERATION OF ITALY AND LIBYA IN THE FIELD OF MIGRATION (2000–2010th)

Published: May 2024

The article examines the policy of the EU border externalization, i.e. transfer of border control and responsibility for migration processes to third countries, namely the Italo-Libyan cooperation in the field of migration is examined in detail. Investigation of agreements and arrangements between the governments of the two countries in 2000–2010s was made. The terms of the agreements and methods of their implementation, the historical and political context in which these decisions were made are considered in detail. The author tries to find out whether Italy achieved the goals set by these agreements and whether the Italian government acted in accordance with European norms. Particular attention is paid to the legal aspects and principles on which the treaties between Italy and Libya are based. Attention is focused on the declared need for respect for human rights, and the lack of fulfillment of these obligations in practice. The article examines in detail the dynamics of relations between the two countries in the 2000s and their change after the outbreak of war in Libya, and the beginning of the active phase of the migration crisis in Europe. The article reveals important aspects of cooperation between these two countries, and the impact of this cooperation on migrants. The author also refers to relevant cases of the European Court of Human Rights considering claims for the forced expulsion of migrants to Libya based on bilateral agreements. Contradictions between the strategies of the EU and Italy regarding the migration crisis are also considered, the author draws attention to the lack of solidarity between EU member states, which forces states located on the external borders of the EU to cooperate with third countries in exchange for political and economic concessions. It is argued that the phenomenon of externalization of borders is complex and multidimensional, and decisions on migration regulation that include third countries require more comprehensive approaches, taking into account compliance with international obligations to protect human rights, which cannot be sacrificed solely on the basis of political necessity.
PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS IN THE UNITED KINGDOM IN 1945: ANALYSIS OF THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY’S DEFEAT IN THE CONTEXT OF CHANGING SOCIAL NEEDS AFTER WORLD WAR II

The article covers an analysis of the 1945 parliamentary elections in Great Britain as a pivotal moment in the country’s development following World War II. It offers a detailed examination of the historical context preceding the elections, considering the socio-political situation marked by post-war reconstruction and shifting social paradigms. The article analyzes the strategies and programs of key political parties, revealing their contrasting visions for post-war Britain. Additionally, it examines societal attitudes and changing public expectations, which significantly influenced electoral outcomes, highlighting a growing demand from voters for comprehensive social reforms and economic stability. Central to the article is the analysis of the Conservative Party’s defeat, which is explained by several factors, including their perception of societal needs, leadership dynamics, and demographic changes among voters. The article thoroughly explores the Conservatives’ response to the challenges of the post-war period, comparing it with the Labour Party’s agenda focused on social welfare policy and economic reconstruction. The article discusses the outcomes of the 1945 parliamentary elections in Great Britain and their impact on the nation’s social needs post-war. The loss of seats by the Conservatives and the rise in Labour representation signify a shift in the political landscape and societal attitudes. The article examines the underestimation of social needs, which led to the Conservative Party’s defeat. Post-war, destroyed cities and economic difficulties created radical changes in social needs, particularly in housing policy and social protection. The Conservative approach was less socially oriented compared to Labour’s programs. Furthermore, the insufficient emphasis by the Conservatives on economic stability and social protection, which did not align with voters’ demands, is noted. The public image of the Conservatives no longer matched the requirements of the time, and the gap between elites and ordinary citizens became a problem. The impact of leadership and the public image of party leaders on the results of the 1945 elections is also analyzed, noting that the leadership of Winston Churchill was based on wartime merits but was not able to effectively respond to social and economic changes.
Diagnosis and treatment of oral mucus lesions: case series of four patients
Authors: Teplyuk Natalia P. , Stepanov Mikhail A. , Dodina Mariya I. , Damdinova Baira Sh.
Published: May 2024

One of the pressing issues in dermatovenerological and stomatological practices pertains to diseases of the oral mucosa. This challenge is primarily attributed to the intricacies associated with diagnosing these conditions in their early stages, the resemblance of clinical presentations to various oral mucosal lesions, and the potential lack of awareness among healthcare practitioners. Diseases such as lichen planus, herpes simplex, erythema multiforme exudative with skin lesions and vulgar pemphigus are characterized by a particularly persistent long-term course, thereby reducing the patient's ability to work and the overall quality of life. A multitude of endogenous and exogenous factors can influence the state of the oral mucosa. Endogenous factors encompass genetic predisposition, endocrine disturbances, carbohydrate metabolism disorders, neurogenic disorders, autoimmune conditions and infectious diseases. Exogenous factors, as a rule, include taking medications (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics), galvanism, excessive use of alcohol and narcotic substances, and others.
It should be noted that the condition of the oral mucosa is also influenced by a wide range of different trigger factors.
The narrative delves into the complexities of diagnosing these conditions early on and explores the challenges inherent in devising effective treatment strategies.
Collective Subjectivity of Literary Characters as Exemplified by Jorge Amado’s Marginalized Figures
Authors: Chmiel Eliasz
Published: May 2024

The potential of the use of the concept of collective subjectivity, in literary analyses, has been partially discerned by Mario Vargas Llosa, Gérard Klein, and a group of scholars inspired by Klein’s observations (Bellagamba; Picholle; Tron, 2012). Since none of them have proposed any systematic framework, the paper theorizes the concept, proposes an analysis methodology, and presents the results of a model analysis of the collective subjectivity of Jorge Amado’s marginalized characters and its relation to the hegemonic discourses of Amado’s storyworlds and of Brazil in the 1930s, respectively. The article also presents an evaluation of the concept’s usefulness for narrative scholars. As analyzing a fictional collective subjectivity requires a custom-made framework, it has been elaborated on the basis of Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe’s (2001) Discourse Theory, Discourse-Theoretical Analysis (both alarmingly absent in literary studies), the psycho-sociological framework for real-world collective subjectivity analysis (Fabris; Puccini; Cambiaso, 2019), and narratological findings related to Possible Worlds Theory and fictional minds (Palmer, 2004). The study confirms that the use of the concept as an analytical tool can shed new light on our understanding of numerous narrative art works, especially regarding such issues as focalization, perspective, ideology, narrative empathy, unreliable narration, and consciousness representation. Moreover, the framework enables us to: 1) describe precisely the particularities of the ideological profile of a fictional collectivity and the narrator’s/implied author’s attitude towards them; 2) relate this profile to the context systematically (both to the storyworld and real-world context).
Uma prosa com Arlinda: ancestralidade, oralitura e intersubjetividade narrativa em Fátima Trinchão
Authors: Silva Leandro Souza Borges
Published: May 2024

O objetivo deste artigo é estabelecer breves apontamentos sobre as categorias ancestralidade, oralitura e intersubjetividade narrativa que estão presentes no conto “Arlinda”, de Fátima Trinchão. Escritora negra baiana, Fátima Trinchão se debruça numa escrita permeada por memórias coletivas afrocentradas que mobilizam saberes afetivo-comunitários de resistência e luta. Os aportes bibliográficos utilizados, alocados numa epistemologia negrorreferenciada, se fundamentam, dentre outros, em Ana Rita Santiago (2012), Leda Maria Martins (2001; 2002) e José Henrique de Freitas Santos (2016; 2018). Nessa abordagem, nota-se que o conto “Arlinda” celebra princípios ancestrais afrocentrados de partilha e resistência, demonstrando uma proficiente escrita que, dinamizando as literaturas negras, esgarçam horizontes de produção literária que autenticam existências negras insurgentes.
Começo – meio – começo
Authors: Borges Patrícia Vaz , Guedelha Carlos Antônio Magalhães
Published: May 2024

Transgredir da teoria decolonial à prática contracolonialista é mote dos poemas e ensaios de Antônio Bispo dos Santos, o Mestre Nêgo Bispo, no livro Colonização, quilombos: modos e significações (2015). Buscamos neste artigo apresentar a circularidade afrodiaspórica proposta na dinâmica começo – meio - começo (Santos, 2015) como uma prática contra-hegemônica e contracolonialista que transgride às decolonialidades. Para isso, apresentamos conceitos basilares da teoria decolonial com aporte em textos como os Ballestrin (2013), Grosfoguel (2008), Mignolo (2017; 2020), Quijano (1992), Santos e Meneses (2009), Segato (2021), Walsh (2009). Tal teoria deságua na prática contracolonialista de Nêgo Bispo, apresentada aqui por meio de suas reflexões e poemas, produzindo, portanto, um estudo bibliográfico com objetivo de contribuir para a difusão dos estudos literários e discursivos de povos tradicionais, enfatizando a cultura, os saberes e as cosmopercepções afropoliteístas. Procuramos mostrar a urgência de se conhecer, discutir e valorizar saberes e práticas ancestrais, apresentando modos de significações do mundo silenciadas por práticas colonialistas. Cosmovisões transgressoras, decoloniais e contracolonialistas instigam-nos não a apresentar respostas, mas a formular cada vez mais perguntas.
Eu, mulher negra, resisto
Authors: Da Silva Ana Rosária Soares
Published: May 2024

Discutir as incidências identitárias na poesia de Alzira Rufino em alguns poemas da obra: Eu, mulher negra, resisto, como escrita de validação das vozes negras femininas nas lutas e conquistas de gênero e de raça afirmando suas identidades nos diversos espaços para suas representações. Objetivando, assim, por meio da literatura, propor o combate e enfrentamento baseados na escrita que constrói significação e existência para o sujeito negro feminino num contexto social hegemônico, racista excludente. Na perspectiva da análise, este artigo se ancora nos teóricos que estudam o tema, como: Cuti (2010), Duarte (2009), Cândido (2004), bem como nos estudos feministas de Gonzalez (1988), hooks (2019), Ribeiro (2019), e ainda, Munanga (2006), Lugones (2007), debruçando-se nas obras de Rufino (1988, 2010, 2005), dentre outros importantes para as análises que configuram a identidade negra feminina na literatura brasileira.
Como é ser negro no brasil?
Authors: Silva Alba Valéria Niza , De Andrade Alysson Jorge Alves
Published: May 2024

O presente artigo visa pesquisar como é ser negro no Brasil, a partir de uma análise comparativa do conto “Conluio das Perdas”, de Luiz Silva Cuti, e da música “Negro Drama”, do Racionais MC’s. A metodologia utilizada foi a de cunho bibliográfico crítico-teórico, dedutivo e analítico, além dos levantamentos de pesquisas com o intuito de mostrar como é ser negro no Brasil. O referencial teórico ancora-se no pressuposto que há, no Brasil, um racismo estrutural, tendo o aporte teórico de: Antonio Candido (2006), Edward Telles (2012), Silvio Luiz de Almeida (2019), Grada Kilomba (2019) e outros autores que pesquisam temáticas parecidas. A pesquisa foi realizada em quatro partes: Primeiramente, observamos que a representação da cidade de São Paulo no conto e na música representa uma cidade cheia de desafios para a vida de uma pessoa negra. Posteriormente, foi demonstrado que ser negro e a sua relação com a polícia aponta que há, no Brasil, um racismo estrutural que está presente nessa instituição. Em seguida, constatamos que há, de fato, uma pressão para que as pessoas negras alcancem uma ascensão social e econômica, mesmo com as enormes dificuldades que enfrentam diariamente. Por fim, defendemos que, em ambas as obras, ocorre um processo de autoafirmação e do orgulho de ser negro, visto que, ainda que em meio às dificuldades encontradas, ocasionadas pelo racismo estrutural, ser negro é resistir e ter força para combater o problema que assola a comunidade negra diariamente.
Um arado só lâmina. Trocadilho e revolta em Itamar Vieira Junior
Authors: Sawala Wojciech
Published: May 2024

O objetivo deste artigo é uma análise e interpretação aprofundada do romance de Itamar Vieira Junior, Torto Arado (2018), baseada no exame das complexidades da construção textual e linguística da obra. O estudo parte de uma leitura cerrada do próprio título, explorando suas implicações intertextuais (Tomás Antônio Gonzaga, 1862; Osman Lins, 1973; Haroldo de Campos, 2016; Caetano Veloso). A observação da presença do “traço” sonoro “dor do arado” na sequência titular pauta a análise da narrativa, orientada hermeneuticamente. Mobilizamos ainda elementos da metodologia estruturalista (Lévi-Strauss, 1982) que permitem demonstrar paralelos na construção do romance com A paixão segundo G.H. (1964) de Clarice Lispector. Examinamos analogias entre as imagens do arado e da faca com a qual as protagonistas ferem-se as línguas. A faca, em paralelo com a barata clariceana, é vista como objeto perigoso colocado na boca num ritual de iniciação. Frisa-se também que tanto a faca como o arado podem ser entendidos como objetos mortíferos de metal cuja presença já encontra-se codificada na tradição literária do modernismo brasileiro (João Cabral de Melo Neto, 2008; Guimarães Rosa, 1988). O paralelismo leva-nos a examinar as implicações semânticas e políticas da aproximação entre as figuras de “ferir o corpo” (feminino) e “ferir a terra”. Refletimos sobre esta relação aludindo às últimas propostas eco- e geo-críticas (Wisnik, 2018) para elucidar o caráter subversivo – revoltoso – do romance estudado.
Endülüs Müslümanlarının Kuzeyli Hasımları: Vikingler
Authors: Karaduman Yakup
Published: May 2024

Viking kelimesi, İskandinavya bölgesinin yerel halkı için kullanılan genel bir isimdir. Bu topluluk, miladi 800 yılların başından itibaren İskandinavya’nın dışına çıkmaya ve korsanlık yapmaya başlamıştır. İngiltere ve Fransa topraklarına birçok saldırı gerçekleştiren Vikingler, büyük ganimetlerle evlerine geri dönmüşlerdir. Vikingler, gemi sanatında ileri bir seviyeye ulaştıkları için seferlerini uzak diyarlara yapmaya koyulmuşlardır. Bu seferlerin biri h.230 / m.844 yılında Endülüs topraklarına gerçekleşmiştir. Fransa’nın kıyı şeridini takip ederek güneye yönelen Vikingler, Üşbûne şehrinde ilk defa Müslümanlarla karşı karşıya gelmişlerdir. Vikinglerin Endülüs kıyı şeridinde yağma ve talan hadiselerine girişmesi ve nihayetinde İşbîliye şehrine girmesi Müslümanlarla savaşı kaçınılmaz hale getirmiştir. İki grup arasında meydana gelen çatışmalarda büyük kayıplar olmuş; neticede Vikingler geri çekilmek zorunda kalmıştır. Vikinglerin bu saldırıları, Endülüs Emevî Devleti’nin deniz gücünü gözden geçirmesine vesile olmuş; bu durum donanmanın güçlendirilmesi bakımından birçok yeniliği beraberinde getirmiştir. Bu yeniliklerle birlikte güçlenen Endülüs Emevî Devleti donanması, Viking saldırılarına karşı koyabilmiştir.

Objection to the Cassation Decision – a Constitutional Perspective
Authors: Jankiewicz Emilia , Juszczak Sebastian
Published: May 2024

The subject of the article is an analysis of the compatibility of the solutions adopted within the institution of opposition to a cassation decision with the Polish Constitution. As part of the introduction of the institution of objection to a cassation decision, the legislator provided for special solutions within the framework of administrative court proceedings aimed at speeding up the proceedings from the objection. However, the speed of the proceedings is not an absolute value and must not violate the right of the individual to a fair trial. Hence, the purpose of the study is to answer the question of whether the adopted solutions meet the constitutional standard, taking into account the interpretation of the legislation adopted in case law and doctrine. The subject of the study are, among other things, the following solutions: shortening the time limit for the issuance of a ruling by an administrative court, limited cognition of an administrative court, participation in judicial-administrative proceedings only of the authority and the objector, restriction of the possibility of taking part in the proceedings of social organizations, lack of the possibility of filing a cassation complaint against a ruling allowing an objection, linguistic analysis of the provisions in terms of meeting the standard arising from the principle of correct legislation. In addition, the authors make a de lege ferenda postulate not to stop at a mere critical assessment of the adopted legislative solutions.
