Authors:   Stavropol State Agrarian University», Stavropol, Russia, Kepmf A. A.
Published: July 2023

The activities of agricultural organizations are subject to a variety of risks, each of which can lead to a significant reduction in production efficiency. For risk management, it is necessary to make timely management decisions, which is impossible in the absence of a high-quality information base. The inclusion of financial and non-financial indicators in the integrated reporting and its preparation from the perspective of a risk-oriented approach will allow meeting the information needs of various user groups and increase the efficiency of the economic entity. However, at the present stage of development, the issue of forming an integrated report taking into account industry specifics remains unresolved. The article examines the existing approaches of Russian authors to the structure and conceptual content of integrated reporting, presents possible risks of agricultural activity that are subject to disclosure using financial and non-financial indicators, and forms a conceptual model of integrated reporting of an agricultural organization.
MAGIC IN THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF MODERN HUMAN
Authors: Kravchenko P. , Holoshchapova A.
Published: July 2023

Philosophers of all times and peoples tried to describe the mystery of magic, each time giving humanity their own images of magical practices, on the one hand, and the attitude to magic from the side of public consciousness, on the other. Turning to the problem of magic even today, in the era of worldview pluralism and the crisis of traditional ideas about the world, turns out to be quite relevant. Magic, which actually originated with humanity itself and passed through centuries and millennia, continues to exist in the consciousness of modern human.Some researchers talk about the onset of a «new magical era» and the formation of a whole subculture of magic followers. Yes, today in the individual and mass consciousness there is a sharp increase in interest in everything mysterious and supernatural: on the pages of newspapers, magazines, and social networks there are many ads from magicians and fortune tellers who promise to fulfill almost any wishes of people for a fee, television channels actively broadcast projects that talk about some magical events and phenomena, and even celebrities in their interviews tell how certain mysterious events happened to them, or how they personally turned to the mystery of magical practices. That is, we can say with confidence that the thinking and behavior of modern man is rightfully considered magical. Therefore, magic is not a relic of the past, but an integral part of the consciousness of a modern people. The aim of the publication is to analyze the influence of magic and magical practices on the consciousness and behavior of modern human. Research methodology. Research methods are comprehensive and based on a philosophical-anthropological and philosophical-cultural analysis of magic as an integral part of human consciousness. Discussion. Magic in the mind of a modern people exists in the form of: something prohibited, anti-social, anti-religious, dangerous and harmful; one’s native achievement of a certain goal or fulfillment of desires; everyday rituals and superstitions, which, although some do not associate the direction with magic, somehow have a strong connection with it.Conclusion. Magic is an integral part of the consciousness of modern human. For some, it is something dangerous, frightening, anti-religious and anti-social, and for some, magic appears to be an excellent means of learning about the surrounding world, a tool for subduing supernatural forces and obtaining certain benefits or fulfilling wishes. One way or another, each of us consciously or subconsciously performs certain magical rituals every day. Magic is so firmly entrenched in human consciousness that some philosophers speak of the onset of a «new magical era», which is associated with the open promotion of magical practices, supernatural forces and phenomena in modern society and the formation of such a phenomenon as a «magical worldview», which will perspective of our further research.

Published: July 2023

In 2013-2022, the Ukrainian ethnic group faced numerous external and internal challenges, which were largely the result of its previous historical development and profound transformations in the public consciousness.These changes, in turn, have become a natural reaction to a number of historical processes and phenomena that have taken place in the territory of the people from ancient times to the present. In this article, the author aims to analyze some factors of stress genesis of the ethnic legal mentality of the Ukrainian ethnic group and show their impact on the content of its behavioral stereotypes. The methodology of this study is comprehensive and is based on socio-philosophical and philosophical and legal analysis of behavioral attitudes of Ukrainians in the field of legal understanding.Results. In the course of analyzing the scientific works of a number of researchers, we found that during its historical existence, the Ukrainian ethnic group has experienced a number of events, phenomena and processes of objective reality, which led to the transformation of the content of its behavioral stereotypes. Factors of stress genesis can be divided into endogenous and exogenous. Exogenous sources of Ukrainian ethnopsychologists include, for example, continuous invasions of various aggressors (Tatar, Polish, Russian, German) and various attempts to acculturate Ukrainians.According to them, endogenous factors include various migration processes that have generated marginality and betrayal by Ukrainian leaders of their people. In the future, the established guidelines play or may play a destructive role in the process of nationbuilding.Conclusions. We found that the stress genesis of domestic political and legal can be defined as the process of creating political and legal mentality of the Ukrainian ethnos under the influence of events, phenomena, processes of its sociohistorical development, as well as factors of geographical location and environmental conditions. community and, as a consequence, cause transformations in the content of its guidelines. In addition, the border situation of Ukrainian lands, long statelessness of the ethnic group, serfdom in the homeland and other factors of socio-historical development of the national ethnic group have led to the emergence or deepening in the people’s consciousness such destructive stereotypes as anarchism, legal nihilism, freedom “, absenteeism and civic passivity, deep corruption traditions and nepotism, low status of state property, etc.
THE PRACTICE OF «ORGANIZING THE CHURCH NETWORK» BY PARTY-STATE STRUCTURES OF THE UKRAINIAN SSR IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE 1960S
Authors: Pomaz Yu.
Published: July 2023

The rethinking of the events of the Soviet past largely concerns the sphere of church-state relations. The significant losses of cultural and architectural heritage during the Soviet period make it expedient to study the mechanisms of liquidation of church buildings in the second half of the 1960s. The purpose and objectives of the article. To determine the principles of state policy in the field of religion and methods of its implementation by party-state structures concerning the church network of the Russian Orthodox Church in the Ukrainian SSR. The research methodology. The research methodology is based on a set of philosophical, general scientific, and historical methods and principles. To solve the specific tasks of the study, the principles of objectivity, historicism, systematicity, and comprehensiveness were also used. Research results. The period of the second half of the 1960s was marked by the liberalization of official views on the religious sphere, the abandonment of repressive methods of fighting religion and the Church, the beginning of the latent destruction of sacred buildings, and the dominance of the Soviet state’s nihilistic attitude toward cultural heritage. The Russian Orthodox Church remained entirely subordinate to the Soviet state, which disregarded its legitimate rights and interests. Discussion. The repressions of the “Thaw“ period and the failure of building a communist society led to a loss of public confidence in the possibility of a just welfare state. It became clear that by practicing persecution, restricting the rights of priests, and banning them from studying in theological schools, the Soviet government was undermining its authority. Therefore, in the 1970s, ideologues of the CPSU Central Committee proposed a new model of churchstate relations — the adaptation to communism. There were no fundamental changes in party policy, as it was based on the Marxist doctrine of religion as the opium of the people. The anti-church orientation of state policy remained, only its forms and methods were transformed. The period of massive closure of Orthodox churches was replaced by a new long-term period, called the period of “streamlining the religious network”. Conclusions. One of the directions of the state’s policy towards religion in the mid-1960s was the targeted liquidation of religious buildings of the Russian Orthodox Church. The main reasons for it were the ideological and political priorities of the state leadership. The closure and destruction of religious buildings were systematic actions of the party-state structures in the process of implementing their policy in the field of religion in the Ukrainian SSR.

ABSTRAK

 

Pengembangan teknologi informasi dan komunikasi di tingkat perdesaan, salah satunya bisa diperankan oleh Lembaga Komunikasi Perdesaan. Namun, hingga saat ini implementasi kebijakan pengembangan dan pemberdayaan lembaga komunikasi perdesaan di Kabupaten Ciamis belum optimal. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk menganalisis Implementasi Kebijakan Pengembangan dan Pemberdayaan Lembaga Komunikasi Perdesaan di Kabupaten Ciamis. Metode kualitatif digunakan untuk mengeksplorasi informasi guna memperoleh kejelasan makna dari setiap peran yang ditunjukkan oleh para aktor dalam pelaksanaan kebijakan. Pengujian keabsahan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan teknik triangulasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pembentukan kelompok informasi masyarakat masih jauh dari ideal. Koordinasi lintas sektor dan aktor pun belum berjalan baik, kondisi ini memperlambat terbentuknya kelompok informasi masyarakat yang ada di desa-desa. Dukungan anggaran daerah masih sangat minim, termasuk komitmen desa untuk memberi anggaran pun sangat minim. Ketersediaan peralatan pun masih sangat terbatas. Selain dari itu, pemahaman aparatur, khususnya jajaran pemerintahan desa belum seutuhnya paham terhadap regulasi yang mengatur tentang Kelompok Informasi Masyarakat. Rendahnya pemahaman ini berimplikasi terhadap rendahnya perkembangan dan eksistensi kelompok informasi masyarakat yang ada di desa-desa.

Darwin y el nexo entre divergencia y competencia
Authors: Labrador-Montero Daniel
Published: July 2023

Este artículo tiene como objetivo ofrecer una revisión y reinterpretación al problema teórico en la teoría de Darwin en el que se pone en relación el principio de divergencia y la competencia entre los seres vivos. Respecto a este asunto ha habido dos interpretaciones fundamentales. La primera de ellas es la de aquellos que defienden que la divergencia se ve favorecida porque implica una reducción de la competencia a la que se enfrentan los seres vivos que se desplazan de nicho ecológico. Por otro lado, algunos abogan — aunque es una posición menos extendida— por una interpretación en la que la reducción de la competencia no es la ventaja, sino que lo es la especialización y, por tanto, el incremento en la competitividad, es decir, el tener mejores herramientas o capacidades para competir. En este artículo se defiende esta última tesis, fundamentalmente sostenida por William Tammone, pero desde otra perspectiva y sustentada en otros argumentos que se nutren de la propuesta de Trevor Pearce acerca de la noción de economía natural de Darwin.

Published: July 2023

This paper analyses the differences in the attractiveness of companies according to their country of origin. The aim is to expand knowledge about which characteristics make organisations more attractive to workers based on their place of origin (Anglo-Saxon, Northern-Central European, Mediterranean, Asian regions). In addition, it is analysed if the COVID-19 has caused changes in the elements that make up the attractiveness.
The sample comprises the ranking published by the journal Actualidad Económica about the most attractive companies to work for in Spain, during 2013-21. The variables used in the ranking are: Talent-Management, Remuneration, Work-Environment, CSR and Training. Other control variables like geocultural area are used. For this purpose, an econometric model of unbalanced panel data with random effects is proposed.
Results show there are differences in the assessment of professional attractiveness according to the companies' place of origin and culture. Remuneration and permanence in the ranking are the only variables which are relevant regardless of the culture. Talent Management, Working Environment and Training, size, and stock price influence Western countries unequally. The opposite occurs for SCR, which only affects Asian companies. Also, COVID-19 has affected unequally the assessment of the attractiveness of companies.

The purpose of this study is to examine how the religious community has formed and developed the unification movement and unification network in Korean society as social capital. To this end, looking at the preceding studies, it was found that research on the unification movement of domestic religious organizations was insufficient. This study examined the view of unification and the theory of unification in the religious community using social capital and social trust as a theoretical framework.
As a result of this study, the tasks necessary for the religious community to fulfill its role are as follows. First, it is the revitalization of unification education in the religious community. Second, it is the establishment of a cooperative network with the religious community and the government. Third, it is necessary to increase the unification solidarity of the religious community and the spread and utilization of international networks. Through this, it is possible to expect unification public diplomacy in which the domestic religious community can promote cooperation and support with religious organizations.

Published: July 2023

Skin cancer has emerged as a grave health concern leading to significant mortality rates. Diagnosis of this disease traditionally relies on specialist dermatologists who interpret dermoscopy images using the ABCD rule. However, the integration of computer-aided diagnosis technologies is gaining popularity as a means to assist clinicians in accurate skin cancer diagnosis, overcoming potential challenges associated with human error. The objective of this research is to develop a robust system for the detection of skin cancer by employing machine learning algorithms for skin lesion classification and detection. The proposed system utilizes Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), a highly accurate and efficient deep learning technique well-suited for image classification tasks. By using the power of CNN, this system effectively classifies various skin diseases in dermoscopic images associated with skin cancer The MNIST HAM10000 dataset, comprising 10015 images, serves as the foundation for this study. The dataset encompasses seven distinct skin diseases falling within the realm of skin cancer. In this study, diverse transfer learning methods were used and evaluated to enhance the performance of the system. By comparing and analyzing these approaches the highest accuracy rate was obtained using the MobileNetV2 model with a rate of 80.79% accuracy.

Para além das palavras
Authors: Saraiva Leila
Published: July 2023

Desde sua formação, em 2004, a discussão sobre os princípios norteadores do Movimento Passe Livre-DF (MPL-DF) são parte fundamental de seus debates e reflexões, partindo do pressuposto de que a política que o coletivo pretende construir aposta na anulação da distância entre meios e fins (Saraiva, 2010:79). Em outras palavras, uma batalha cotidiana para que a revolução que o movimento procura construir comece a ser vivenciada dentro de suas próprias práticas. Desde uma perspectiva interna, pois que sua autora é também militante, este artigo procura partir da análise etnográfica de reuniões e debates do movimento para discutir as noções de um de seus mais caros dos princípios: a horizontalidade. Tal como explorado no texto, há aí um fluxo de distintas concepções do que significa ser horizontal, percepções que convivem, se cruzam, dialogam e por vezes se contrapõe. Esse fluxo de conceitos e práticas acaba também por revelar ideias distintas sobre a natureza do poder e da hierarquia, assim como compõe a noção de sujeito político que o MPL-DF deseja edificar. A peleja cotidiana da concretização da horizontalidade é, assim, uma oportunidade de entender os projetos de sociedade que o MPL-DF constrói, assim como os desafios para sua realização. Inspirado nas discussões de Safatle (2016) acerca do desamparo enquanto afeto revolucionário, o artigo aposta numa permanência do desconforto enquanto mobilizador da construção de uma coletividade horizontal, assim como da busca que nos move em direção à nossa própria utopia.

Sexual violence is currently very high and rampant, based on data from the World Health Organization (WHO) it is estimated that around one billion children experience physical violence, sexual violence, psychological violence, injuries, become disordered and children aged 0 to 17 die as many as 40,150 due to violence globally. According to KPAI, there were 262 cases of sexual violence against children in 2019 and in 2020 it increased to 238 cases. In 2020, the Central Statistics Agency recorded 341 cases of sexual violence in South Sumatra. The high number of cases of sexual abuse that occur in children opens our eyes that there is still a lack of children's understanding of sex education. The use of Comic Media is a very fun learning medium for early childhood, the images in comics can animate a row of story texts so that they can easily convey messages to children about sex education in early childhood, so they can anticipate the dangers that will threaten them. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of health education using comic media on sex knowledge in early childhood education through a holistic midwifery approach. This research is a quasi-experimental study with one group pretest and posttest without control. Sampling was carried out by total sampling and univariate analysis using the T-dependent test. The results of this study indicate that there are differences in knowledge before and after being given educational sex comics with a p-value of 0.000. It is hoped that this research can contribute to sex education in children starting as early as possible and it is hoped that in the future there will be more media modifications that can be used to introduce sex from an early age to children.

Published: July 2023

Lack of understanding of some social indicators, cultural values (values of apology) and the importance of face may lead to communication breakdown, discrimination and conflict. In this regard, this paper set out to identify apology strategies of male and female students of The University of Bamenda, to determine the attitude of male and female users of English in The University of Bamenda towards the use of face in social interactions, and to verify the extent to which culture influences their apology strategies. To carry out this study, 50 participants (made up of 25 boys and 25 girls among level 400 geography students from the faculty of arts) between the ages 20 and 35 were purposefully selected as respondents to our questionnaire. The findings indicated that the two genders have different strategies in offering apology and that the female gender apologises more than the male, this is demonstrated in the use of the difference theory. Also, most of the respondents felt that people are polite in most conversations to pass across their ideas or make the conversation good, this shows that most of them do not give pride of place to the issue of face in social interactions. Also, the findings indicated that culture and cultural practices influence social interaction between both genders. This, ties with a study conducted by Bataineh and Bataineh (2005) which was aimed at investigating the potential gender effects in American students’ use of apologies within the framework of the two-culture theory. The researchers recommended that, the use of speech acts specifically in apology strategies in male and female communication styles should be given more attention by students, teachers, curriculum developers, policy makers and governments so as to enhance its teaching, knowledge and usage by young Cameroonian speakers of English.

COVID-19 is first corona virus related global pandemic after SARS and MERS and due to rapid evolution of pandemic fast track developments in diagnostics, monitoring and treatment options and vaccine developments has occurred to prevent its significant impact on mortality and morbidity. COVID-19 infection involves a complex interplay of the immunological and inflammatory responses. Inflammatory parameters are closely linked to the COVID-19 severity and mortality. Inflammatory parameters could be used to predict the transition from mild to severe/critical infection in patients of COVID-19. Numerous Inflammatory markers were analysed and used as point of care test to predict severity of illness, monitoring of illness, treatment planning and predicting final outcomes such as CRP, LDH, IL-6, D-dimer and ferritin. Robust data of these inflammatory markers is available and proved crucial in predicting pathophysiological trends such as cytokine storm, coagulation abnormalities, oxygenation status and response to therapy. Isolated assessment of inflammatory markers in absence of clinical and radiological parameters were observed as ‘double edged weapon’ due to overestimation and its impact on health burden and underprediction resulting into progression of illness and resultant poor outcome and increased health care cost. Composite index is combination clinical, radiological and laboratory inflammatory marker assessment. Combination of any two abnormalities were observed crucial role in early suspicion, diagnosis, monitoring, and recognition of complications, management and disposition of patients. Composite index rather than single biomarkers may provide more reliable information. Availability and cost issues cannot be ignored. It would be impossible for clinicians to consolidate and critically analyse the enormous data that is continuously added to the COVID-19 literature to extract practically useful information for the benefit of patients. Still, as of now Composite index should be considered as ‘point of care test’ to honour successful treatment outcome and prevent mortality and morbidity due to this ‘Dragon Pandemic’.

The ban on antibiotic growth promoters in livestock feeding has encouraged the utilization of phytogenic feed additives. These phytogenics recently attracted much attention and are generally recognized as residue-free ideal feed additives in animal Production. The current study was conducted to investigate the effects of the phytogenic herbs on feed intake, feed conversion ratio, and immune responses associated with the infectious bursal disease (IBD) vaccine in broiler chickens. For this study, 360 day-old broiler chicks were randomly assigned to six feeding trials, each with three replicates containing 20 chicks. The control group (T1) was only fed a basal diet alone, while the treatment groups were given the basal diet supplemented with 1% of basil (T2), lemongrass (T3), peppermint (T4), rosemary (T5), and thyme (T6) leaves powder, respectively. Body weight, feed intake, and feed conversion ratio were recorded. All chicks were vaccinated against IBD on days 7 and 19. A serology test was conducted to check the antibody titer against the IBD vaccine. The findings of this study showed that chickens in group T2 had significantly consumed more feed, followed by T1 and T6. During the overall study period, chickens in group T4 had significantly better feed conversion efficiency, followed by T3 and T6. Chickens in groups T5 and T6 showed a more pronounced antibody titer against the IBD vaccine at days 21 and 42 of the experiment. Therefore, these findings indicated that supplementation of basil leaf powder improved feed intake. Moreover, peppermint and lemongrass leaf powder improved the feed conversion ratio. In addition, supplementation of rosemary and thyme enhances the immune status of broiler chickens and could be considered a natural growth promoter feed additive. Therefore, further studies should be done to discover their beneficial effects to use as alternative feed additives in broiler chickens.

Core body temperature is one of the physiological parameters that must be assessed during the monitoring of the thermic and or health status of broiler chickens. In this regard, cloacal thermometry is a standard method used for temperature measurement although it has many drawbacks. This study was conducted to explore the suitability of other anatomical sites for temperature measurement using a digital thermometer. This was a single-factor experiment that considered the anatomical site as the main factor with three levels (treatments), including cloacal (DTtcloacal), axillary (DTtaxillary), and inguinal (DTtinguinal) sites. Out of 84 broiler chickens, a total of 28 chickens were randomly selected for temperature measurement. The temperature was measured for each anatomical site, and the readings were analyzed using appropriate statistics. The cloacal site had the highest mean temperature (41.40 ± 0.17℃), while the lowest mean value was observed for the axillary site (41.12 ± 0.19℃). There was no significant difference between the mean cloacal and inguinal temperatures. The cloacal and inguinal temperature readings were significantly correlated. The results for the cloacal and inguinal temperature measurements revealed a non-significant bias. The agreement interval between these two methods was sufficiently lower than the maximum acceptable difference between the anatomical sites. Both cloacal and inguinal temperature measurements had similar median points. The results indicated an underestimation of the temperature readings for the axillary site compared to those of the other sites. In conclusion, this study has revealed that the application of a digital thermometer using the inguinal site gives temperature readings that are similar to those of the conventional cloacal method.

Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus are fungi that produce toxic secondary metabolites known as aflatoxins. These toxins can contaminate various food and feed products, including grains and nuts, before or after they are harvested. This contamination is most commonly found in tropical countries. Many studies have demonstrated that clay additions can reduce animal aflatoxin toxicity. The objective of this research was to study how the usage of Pacitan's local bentonite, located in East Java, Indonesia, could potentially decrease the harmful effects of aflatoxin B1 in native chicken species. The Masking Gel Calcification method was used to create bentonite nanoparticles at the Center for Ceramics in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. The in vivo study was conducted at a native chicken farm in Bantul, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, with 1200 unsexed Kampung Unggul Balitbangtan (KUB) chickens. Kampung Unggul Balitbangtan chickens were divided into 4 treatments and 6 replications, each containing 50 chickens. The diets in the treatments were named as T0 (the control group in which chickens were fed basal diet, without aflatoxin B1), T1 ( T0 + 200 µg/kg aflatoxin B1), T2 (T0 + 200 µg/kg aflatoxin B1 + 1 g/kg Factory Feed with standard factory absorbent), and T3 (T0 + 200 µg/kg aflatoxin B1 + 1 g/kg nano bentonite). Aspergillus flavus isolates from PAU Universitas Gadjah Mada were created using crude aflatoxin (FNC 2262). This study found a significant difference in KUB chicken performance, specifically in feed conversion ratio (FCR). Compared to T0, the findings indicated that T1 had the highest FCR value, followed by T2 and T3. It can be concluded that nanoparticle bentonite has a looser structure because of decreased packing density with the lowest FCR. Based on hematology analysis, it can suppress aflatoxin B1 toxicity in KUB chickens.
