Countering or Reinforcing (Gendered) Inequalities? Ramifications of the Covid-19 Pandemic in and Through Media
Authors: Lünenborg Margreth , Reißmann Wolfgang , Siemon Miriam
Published: February 2023

The Covid-19 pandemic reveals and exacerbates inequalities in various ways. Gender inequalities—intertwined with intersectional differences along class, ethnicity, or origin—are highly visible. Legacy and social media around the world cover and perform these issues as much as they conceal them. On the one hand, they have the ability to give those affected a voice and to intervene in public discourse. On the other hand, they reproduce stereotypes and imbalances and rely on gendered (infra)structures. This thematic issue explores the entanglement between empowering and restricting forms of media discourse and media practices. Ten contributions from different world regions, which analyze various media, and involve diverse methodological approaches, make visible reproductions of established power structures as well as new visibilities and counter-practices of marginalized groups. In sum, they generate a complex body of knowledge about global and local inequalities and the ramifications of the pandemic in and through media.
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ADOLESCENTS’ WITH POST-TRAUMATIC GROWTH TIME PERSPECTIVE IN THE CONTEXT OF PERSONAL IDENTITY STRUCTURAL ORGANIZATION
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Ukraine, Sazonova Iryna
Published: February 2023

The article reveals the problem of the relationship between the individual psychological time and the adolescents’ personal identity structural organization. The relevance of personal identity study, its content and temporal aspect in adolescence is important today, especially in connection with time perspective and in war context. The results of an time perspective and personal identity empirical study are presented on the example of teenagers with post-traumatic growth and normative development aged 15-17 who were in the "Forest Outpost" camp, created for the psychological rehabilitation of children who suffered in military actions and armed conflicts. The next characteristics of time perspective in two groups, the post-traumatic growth group and the group with a normative course of development, were differentiated (Semantic Time Differential of Wasserman was used): 1) in the present – time activity, emotional coloring of time, time structure, time sensitivity (all indicators are higher in the group with post-traumatic growth); 2) in the past – sensitivity time and time structure; 3) in the future – time structure. Both groups have a negative perception of their past, due to the traumatic events experienced in it, but already have a more positive attitude towards the present and have significant hopes for an optimistic future. The generalized results of a comparative analysis of the identity status of representatives of isolated groups are presented, which differ in the dominance of the moratorium status in the group with post-traumatic growth and diffuse identity in the group with normal development. Therefore, differences in the perception of time perspective, namely, a higher orientation to the present, a more positive evaluation of it in the group with post-traumatic growth is associated with a higher degree of personal identity structure coherence, where the moratorium has an average level of coherence, and the diffuse identity has a low level of coherence. The applied aspect of the investigated problem may be implemented in the development of programs of psychosocial support of the individual in adolescence.

The article examines issues relevant to Ukraine regarding the specifics of providing social services to vulnerable categories of the population under martial law. The purpose of the article is to determine the priority of social problems of vulnerable categories of the population of Ukraine during the period of martial law and to develop measures to solve them under the conditions of the available resources and capabilities of the state. The article uses general scientific research methods, in particular, abstract-logical research methods to determine the main concepts of the article's issues; a sociological survey to investigate the priority of social needs of vulnerable categories of the population; synthesis and comparison to compare the priority of social needs of respondents from different categories of the population; generalization method for formulating research conclusions and proposals. The work carried out a sociological study of the priority of social needs of forcibly displaced persons, military personnel, war veterans and pensioners, on the basis of which it was concluded that social needs according to the level of priority are determined by the level of decline in the following order: provision of housing, quality medical care, food, work and quality social services. According to this gradation of social problems of vulnerable categories of the population, the work proposes to expand the list of social services provided online by introducing special chatbots and operators to advise and inform citizens; create conditions for the construction of temporary and capital modular towns; introduce mandatory medical diagnosis of vulnerable categories of the population; to involve citizens who are registered in employment centers to provide in kind assistance and assisted living services to war veterans and the elderly; local self-government bodies to expand cooperation with international humanitarian organizations and Ukrainian volunteers for the purpose of forming food kits for lowincome persons.
Quantifying the amount of useful heat energy in sewage
Authors:   , Kohl Paul Matthew , Haas Charles Nathan
Published: February 2023

There is an international imperative to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions. Investments into renewable energy are being made, yet the prospect of recycling energy by recovering heat from sewage is not getting the attention commensurate with its thermodynamic potential. Exergy is the amount of useful energy in a system. 4.5 years of sewage temperature and flow data from 15 Philadelphia sewers were analyzed using a modified process model to calculate exergy. The modified process model uses the temperature of ambient air as the dead state reference. This method was superior to the natural environment subsystem model, which used 25 °C as the standard dead state. The modified process model predicts slightly more exergy, and more accurately describes the flow of heat. An ability to articulate the useful energy in sewage allows society to treat it as a resource. Widespread engagement in sewage heat recovery has financial merit but more importantly it reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Each million gallons of sewage can reduce greenhouse gas emission by 0.8 to 4 metric tons of CO₂e. Additionally, a regression analysis of the independent sewer data was conducted resulting in a second order autoregression model. This model was able to accurately predict the monthly average temperature of sewage. The significant parameters were air temperature, whether the sewer was constructed of reinforced concrete or not, and the month of year. Other parameters sewage flow, precipitation, cross sectional area, depth, drainage area, or even the proportion of sanitary flow compared to combined sewage flow were not statistically significant. Sewage is a predictable, stable, and useful source of heat. Sewage heat recovery systems are essential to continued sustainable development.
“It’s fucking tiny.” Road Movies, Youth and Immobility in Derry Girls (2018–)
Authors: Jarazo Álvarez Rubén
Published: February 2023

Derry Girls (2018–present), Channel 4’s major success since Max and Paddy’s Road to Nowhere (2004), is a teen sitcom set in pre-ceasefire Northern Ireland which inevitably brings issues such as place and space to the fore by relying on teen drama tropes. This is particularly visible in “The Concert”, Derry Girls’ third episode in season two, directed by Michael Lennox and written Lisa McGee, an episode where the dominant tropes are those of a road movie but genuinely overturned upside down. Such a subversion will be directly connected to notions of space, identity and containment during the Troubles in the 1990s, as well as youth, gender, ethnicity and class divides.
La extraña ignorada
Authors: Prieto Arranz José Igor
Published: February 2023

La novela histórica, enormemente influyente hoy en día, suele ambientarse en períodos identificados como fundacionales por la historiografía (reforzando así discursos de identidad nacional o deconstruyéndolos) y ha sido usada especialmente por escritoras para revisar el discurso histórico patriarcal, reivindicando la figura de la mujer. Este artículo ofrece un estudio comparativo de las representaciones de Catalina de Aragón en la ficción contemporánea británica y española de autoría femenina, habida cuenta de su protagonismo en un episodio fundacional dentro de la historiografía inglesa (la reforma anglicana) y del segundo plano al que su figura ha sido relegada tanto en la historiografía oficial como en ficcionalizaciones anteriores, como la acometida por el mismísimo Calderón de la Barca. Para ello, se estudiarán las representaciones ofrecidas por Philippa Gregory, Alison Weir y Hilary Mantel en el contexto británico, y Pilar Queralt del Hierro, Magdalena Lasala y Almudena de Arteaga en España.

The Transition to Telework in Latin America and the Caribbean: Key Findings using LinkedIn data
Authors: Prada María Fernanda , Rucci Graciana , Saavedra Fabiola
Published: February 2023

The COVID-19 crisis generated a sudden need for businesses to start operating remotely, and for employees to work from home. In consequence, the use of telework increased rapidly in Latin America and the Caribbean as it did globally. However, differences on the severity of containment measures by country, access to internet, and particularities of each country's labor markets may have played a role in the divergence of trends across countries in the post-pandemic scenario. We use data from LinkedIn in 7 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, between January 2020 and April 2022, to shed some light on how telework evolved in a selection of countries in the region during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. This note summarizes four findings associated with telework adoption and on the divergences in telework behavior across countries in the post-pandemic period. First, countries with more strict government containment measures experienced higher telework rates along 2020; second, telework adoption seems unrelated with countries' internet network coverage and internet network performance; third, telework adoption reflects the dynamics of the labor demand and was driven mostly by the professional services economic sector; and finally, it seems evident that telework will not return to its pre-pandemic levels and it is here to stay.
Life cycle assessment for sustainability assessment of biofuels and bioproducts
Authors: Gheewala Shabbir H.
Published: February 2023

Bio-based materials have been used traditionally for millennia. Their use was overtaken in recent times by the discovery and utilization of fossil-based resources for materials and energy. However, concerns about the non-renewability of fossil resources and greenhouse gas and other emissions associated with their use have brought forth a renewed interest in using bio-based materials in recent years. The environmental advantages of bio-based materials cannot be taken for granted without a rigorous scientific assessment. Many tools based on energy, economics, and environmental impacts have been used. Life cycle assessment is one such tool developed and successfully utilized for the environmental assessment of biofuels and bioproducts. However, many methodological challenges, among other things related to system boundaries, functional units, allocation, and carbon accounting, still need further research and consideration. In this work, the related issues are summarized, and the directions for addressing them are discussed. Despite the methodological challenges in their assessment, biofuels and bioproducts show promise in terms of their environmental advantages compared to their fossil-oriented counterparts. These advantages can be further enhanced by utilizing all parts of the feedstock biomass, especially for value-added materials and chemicals via biorefineries.

Introduction. A feature of Russian innovative economy development is the need to solve many problems in a limited time frame, which include the accelerated development of domestic production and the market through the introduction of innovative solutions in the context of minimizing external economic threats associated with anti-Russian sanctions from unfriendly countries. The models of innovative activity are considered and their key subjects are identified. It has been revealed that one of the effective mechanisms for achieving the set goals is to accelerate the pace of introduction of intellectual property objects into industry through the transfer of scientific research results to production. Theoretical analysis. The article discusses the place and role of universities in strengthening the innovative potential in the field of intellectual property. The analysis of existing state measures aimed at stimulating the development of innovative potential of universities was carried out. Such mechanisms of interuniversity interaction as the concept of open innovations and network university are considered. Еmpirical analysis. The indicators characterizing the patent activity of the subjects of innovation activity are determined, and the analysis of the dynamics of such indicators as the number of applications and granted patents, self-sufficiency and technological dependence on foreign sources is carried out. It is concluded that at present these indicators are characterized by recession. The results obtained require the adoption of new decisions and the activation of university science as the main subject of the “growth point” of innovative ideas and solutions. Results. The result of the study is a proposal to form a university hub based on a platform for intensifying patent activity not only in the context of university innovation, but also to attract various economic actors involved in the process of both import substitution and strengthening the country’s industrial sovereignty. An analysis was made of the ways of commercialization of intellectual property objects and the planned benefits for subjects-consumers of the university hub services. The advantages of creating a university hub are highlighted, contributing to the development of the innovation sphere and strengthening inter-university relations.
Precedent in Roman law: Basic terms and their semantic content
Authors:   Saratov State University, Tatarnikov Dmitriy G.
Published: February 2023

Introduction. Until today, the prevailing opinion is that precedent did not play a significant role in the legal system of Rome. However, a number of sources, in particular the papyrus entries of judgement which record the provincial legal practice in Roman Egypt in the period from the 1st to the 3rd centuries, say otherwise. The significant role of precedent in the legal system of Rome is also evidenced with the texts of M. Tullius Cicero, M. Fabius Quinctilian, Pseudo-Asconius, G. Julius Victor. Theoretical analysis. The study of these texts makes it possible to understand what terms the Romans used to denote an authoritative judicial decision, what semantic content they put into them, and how close this content is to the modern idea of a judicial precedent. To designate a court decision that becomes a model, and which judges will be guided by when considering other cases with similar circumstances, Roman talkers use the terms res iudicata, praeiudicium, and exemplum. The precedent, in its classical sense, contains the fundamental legal provisions formulated by the judge in relation to this case, which are usually denoted by the term ratio dicendi. The question arises whether the decision of the court in Rome could establish these legal principles followed by other judges. Empirical analysis. The answer to this question can be obtained by considering the case of the so-called Fulcinian Estate. Being the representative of Caecina in this case, Cicero warns the recuperators against accepting the arguments of his opponent, Piso, based on the legal consequences of their possible decision. Thus, in this case, the judges could issue a decision containing a new legal principle, formulate a generalized legal position in relation to this case. Results. Court decisions in the legal system of Rome had the power of authority. They possessed it for a reason, due to the generalized legal reasoning or legal principles formulated by the judges in relation to the situation under consideration. That is why they became precedents. There were many such court decisions in Rome, they had sufficient authority and contained certain legal principles that judges applied when considering cases with similar circumstances.
E-commerce using blockchain technologies
Authors:   Plekhanov Russian University of Economics, Khramushin Vitaliy V.
Published: February 2023

Introduction. The article analyzes the practice of using blockchain technologies for commercial activities in the Russian Federation. Currently, in the Russian Federation, two main directions of such commerce can be distinguished: conclusion and execution of smart contracts; implementation of transactions with cryptocurrencies. Theoretical analysis. Nowadays, the Russian legislation hardly regulates the conclusion of smart contracts. However, this does not prevent entrepreneurs from using some general provisions of the Civil Code in their practical activities. As for cryptocurrencies (digital currencies), they are not currencies in the literal sense and the number of transactions with them is significantly limited by the legislator. Empirical analysis. Gaps in domestic legislation are currently being filled to some extent by court practice, primarily arbitration. In particular, the courts clearly qualify the cryptocurrency mining activity as entrepreneurial. As for investing financial resources in cryptocurrencies, it is regarded as a form of fiduciary management. Results. At this stage, it is necessary to recognise digital currencies as assets not only for certain purposes, but for a wider range of relationships. As far as smart contracts are concerned, an important problem is the problem of understanding its meaning and content by all its parties. To solve this problem, it is necessary to introduce a rule in the national civil legislation according to which a smart contract should have a text with all its terms in Russian (or in any other language acceptable to both parties).
The issue of free choice in favor of spiritual, cultural and legal ties of compatriots abroad with the Russian Federation
Authors:   Saratov State University, Konduktorova Nadezhda A.
Published: February 2023

Introduction. The current concept of “compatriot abroad” is supplemented by the condition of free choice in favor of spiritual, cultural and legal ties with the Russian Federation. The purpose of the work is to study this condition in the context of the designated concept. Theoretical analysis. The author has revealed that free choice is an action committed by a person, indicating the desire for the emergence of legal relations based on spiritual, cultural and legal ties with the state in order to be recognized as a compatriot abroad. Recognition of compatriots abroad is based on free choice as an act of self-identification, expressed in various types of activities of a person in Russia and abroad. Еmpirical analysis. The author identifies two key problems that arise in the process of recognition of a person as a compatriot abroad: the impossibility of fully realizing the legal status of a compatriot in foreign countries and the abuse of the possibility of obtaining this status in the Russian Federation. Results. The appearance of the construction of “free choice in favor of spiritual, cultural and legal ties with the Russian Federation” in the legislation on the legal status of compatriots abroad is evaluated positively. However, it requires an addition of a mandatory condition of proficiency in the Russian language.

Introduction. Social living conditions and related problems are one of the key indicators of the level and pace of the socio-economic development of modern society. The Russians’ standard of living is constantly on the agenda of the academic community and the Government of the Russian Federation. Accordingly, the study of the state and prospects for the development of key indicators characterizing the well-being of the population is one of the main tasks of economy. Theoretical analysis. The purpose of this study is statistical analysis and identification of the socio-economic indicators influence degree on the provision of housing for the country’s population. To achieve this goal, we used such statistical tools as tabular and graphical, coefficient, grouping method and correlation-regression analysis. Empirical analysis. The methodological approach to the statistical analysis of the population’s provision with housing corresponds to three stages of statistical research and includes formation of a system of indicators, collection and processing of actual material in spatial and time sections, as well as formation of conclusions regarding the patterns of development of the phenomenon under consideration. Results. As a result of the study, the following patterns were established: despite the population’s low standard of living and periodic shock impacts on Russian economy, the level of housing provision for the population for the period 1990–2021 is continuously increasing; the highest level of housing provision is observed in the most densely populated regions of the country, which are part of the Central Federal District and the Volga Federal District; the largest influence on the variation of the population’s provision of housing is exerted by general economic indicators, namely the level of employment and the positive dynamics of the industrial production index. The results of the study can be used to make decisions regarding the improvement of the population’s standard of living in constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

Introduction. The issue of financial support for the development of urban agglomerations is one of the most relevant, since the timeliness and completeness of the integration processes financing largely determine the success in achieving the goals of creating agglomerations. Of particular importance is the budgetary and tax integration of local territories included in the single agglomeration space, since the current legislation establishes significant independence of local authorities in the formation of local budgets. Theoretical analysis. The article analyzes the approaches and processes used to include new rural areas in the already established system of urban agglomeration management using the example of the creation of “Greater Saratov” as part of the Saratov urban agglomeration. Legal and economic factors hindering the development of the agglomeration are identified. The features of the unified city budget formation and the budgetary powers of rural administrations as part of the agglomeration are studied. The problems of local taxation differentiation, taking into account the differences between rural and urban areas, are considered. Discussion of results. The study of the rural and urban areas integration features into a single socio-economic system revealed the advantages and problems of creating a unified budgetary and tax system in the agglomeration. The analysis carried out made it possible to substantiate measures for the urban agglomeration development, in terms of improving taxation and the budgetary process on its territory.

Published: February 2023

Introduction. The development of the institution of parliamentary control in the Russian Federation actualizes the issues of achieving a balance of branches of government at the regional level and improving legal regulation in order to increase the effectiveness of the constitutional and legal mechanism to meet the interests and needs of residents of the respective regions. Theoretical analysis. At the present stage, there is a variety of forms of legal regulation of parliamentary control at the regional level, different legal models of its legislative regulation, characterized by certain advantages and disadvantages, are used. This determines the need to unify the conceptual and terminological apparatus of this institution, that reflects its essence and characteristic features, as well as the legislative consolidation of basic parameters, internal constitutive principles and procedures that ensure the inclusion of subjects of regional parliamentary control in the system of parliamentary control of the Russian Federation. Empirical analysis. The analysis of the legislative consolidation of procedural issues of the implementation of various forms of parliamentary control by regional parliaments indicates the conciseness of the relevant legal regulations, the planned nature of control procedures, the reproduction of the powers of the federal legislature at the regional level based on the results of verification activities with some expansion of such opportunities. The powers of a regional legislative authority based on the results of the exercised control, which are not provided for by similar norms of federal legislation on parliamentary control, can be differentiated into recommendations addressed to regional state structures, personnel decisions, initiating communications in the form of drafting a draft law of a subject of the Russian Federation, a draft federal law for its introduction by the legislative authority of a subject of the Russian Federation in the exercise of the right of legislative initiatives to the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation. Results. The authors conclude that the legislation and practice of parliamentary control in the Russian regions need to be improved, which is aimed at detailing the legal regulation in this area and increasing effectiveness of its implementation. In this regard, the prospects for the adoption of the federal law “On general principles of parliamentary control in the subjects of the Russian Federation” are substantiated.
The role of legal propaganda in strengthening the ideological foundations of society
Authors:   Saratov State University, Toguzaeva Ekaterina N.
Published: February 2023

Introduction. The development of the national legal system cannot take place in isolation from the legal ideology. In its turn, the legal ideology determines the goals of the influence of legal propaganda: the ideas-values, that are key to the influencing nature of propaganda, remain basic in the legal ideology. Despite the fact that ideas-values set the goals of the impact of legal propaganda, the effectiveness of the propaganda itself depends directly on these value ideas. Theoretical analysis. The direct influence of legal propaganda is expressed in the assimilation by the individual of those stereotypes and behavior patterns that the individual was aimed at. Indirect (mediated) influence of legal propaganda is also possible. Indirect influence can be spotted in cases where there was no targeted impact, but the result is manifested in the reinforcement of previously formed attitudes, possibly through intermediary subjects, as well as under the influence of the social environment. Any law in force is an indicator of those ideas about law that have developed in a particular society and in itself also has a law-propaganda effect. Legal propaganda is not limited to its legal component: the ideological component also includes subjective components responsible for the perception and understanding of legal behavior, whether it is the political experience of the addressee, his / her sense of justice and civic responsibility. Accordingly, there is a dependence of the effectiveness of the perception of legal propaganda on the level of legal awareness: at the level of professional legal awareness, we believe that a high level of perception of legal propaganda can be registered (depending on the source of propaganda, scientific methods, manipulative means, sensitivity to public assessments, critical comprehension, etc.). Results. An extensive system of state propaganda, including legal propaganda, ensures the formation of common value orientations in society. State propaganda is multifaceted, but it is always in line with the legal field. It is concluded that propaganda is one of those active components, means that ensure the real effectiveness of legal ideology. If the legal ideology is presented as a complex mechanism of influence for the formation of certain behavior, propaganda is the means of operation of this mechanism, both in the activities of state structures and in the work of civil society institutions. It is emphasized that since the legal ideology is always tied to the results of the legal understanding of the world, the specific impact of the legal ideology is ensured by legal propaganda.
A Sero-Epidemiological Study on Visceral Leishmaniasis among Volunteer Children and Adults in Rural Areas of Shahroud, Iran 2018–2019
Authors: Ghodrati Sajjad , Akhoundi Behnaz , Mohebali Mehdi , Zeinali Mohammad , Hajjaran Homa , Kakooei Zahra
Published: February 2023

Background: Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) also known as Kala-azar is considered as one of the zoonotic infections in Mediterranean countries. The disease reservoir and vectors are dogs and sandflies respectively. Due to reported sporadic cases of Kala-azar in the past five years in Shahroud County, Semnan Province, Iran, this study aimed to investigate the status of this infection in this area and to determine its seroepidemiology to take required measurements for infection control and treatment.
Methods: This study was conducted on 504 subjects residing in seven villages in Shahroud County. Blood samples were randomly selected using the cluster sampling method and were collected from subjects aged up to 13 years old (90%) and adults over 13 years old (10%) from September to May 2019. After separating sera from whole blood, sam­ples were subjected to direct agglutination test (DAT) to detect anti-Leishmania infantum antibodies. A range of 1:10 to 1:800 dilutions were prepared from the samples.
Results: Results of 1:800 titration indicated that no sample was positive for antibodies against L. infantum. After the secondary screening, 10 cases (1.98%) showed the antibody titer of 1:100, while four cases (0.79%) showed the anti­body titer of 1:400. Of 14 cases with the L. infantum antibodies, all were detected from the children <13 years old. Ac­cording to clinical findings, no patient was suffering from fever, weight loss, splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, and cachex­ia and therefore did not show the Kala-azar symptoms.

O presente trabalho discute o papel da Educação Ambiental não formal como ferramenta para implementar atividades econômicas inovadoras, baseadas no reaproveitamento de resíduos sólidos. O objetivo é capacitar as comunidades de baixa renda nos bairros de Belém, Ananindeua e Marituba que fazem parte do Programa Territórios pela Paz, através de uma Educação Ambiental que integra teoria e prática, demostrando que o reaproveitamento correto dos resíduos sólidos e líquidos é uma atividade economicamente lucrativa, capaz de criar as bases para o surgimento de uma economia circular e de melhorar a qualidade de vida da população. Neste trabalho realizou-se (i) um curso de capacitação baseado em oficinas teóricas e práticas de reciclagem de resíduos para a produção de sabão caseiro, biofertilizante e coletores de resíduos sólidos, e (ii) a documentação das atividades desenvolvidas pelo público capacitado, através de depoimentos e material audiovisual, com intuito de analisar os resultados socioeconômicos do projeto. Os primeiros resultados do processo de capacitação mostraram o surgimento de atividades econômicas inovadoras a partir da produção e comercialização de novos produtos (biofertilizante, sabão etc.) e da organização de cooperativas locais, dando assim os primeiros passos para a emergência de uma economia circular.

Compreender as dinâmicas de organização social do trabalho e a gestão dos recursos disponíveis na agricultura familiar tem sido tema com destaque nas últimas décadas, havendo ainda lacunas na produção do conhecimento. Com isso em mente, esse texto tem como objetivo apresentar as características gerais da trajetória e composição da família, a organização do trabalho para a gestão das atividades domésticas e sistemas de produção agropecuário, problematizando algumas questões que dizem respeito aos processos de sucessão e também de gestão dos recursos naturais, em uma situação de assentamento em Canaã dos Carajás – Pará. Como metodologia, foi realizada pesquisa de campo, com entrevistas, e revisão da literatura. Como principais resultados, identificamos que a família em questão tem diversificado a produção e as fontes de renda, incluindo a saída para trabalhos fora do lote, havendo inclusive incertezas quanto aos processos de sucessão geracional no contexto da agricultura familiar.

O artigo propõe um método para valorar a atratividade das comunidades de Reservas Extrativistas para o Turismo de Base Comunitária (TBC). Toma-se como referência a Reserva Extrativista de Mapuá, Ilha do Marajó. A pesquisa objetivou analisar as possibilidades, limites e modos de incremento do TBC, desenvolvendo e aplicando um método de valoração de atratividade para este modelo de turismo. As informações coletadas foram baseadas na metodologia da Análise em Pares, com levantamento de dados realizados a partir de olhares técnicos e de comunitários. A pesquisa concluiu que as comunidades possuem valoração suficiente para desenvolver o TBC e que é possível valorar a atratividade turística das reservas extrativistas, por meio da metodologia de Análise em Pares. Esta metodologia permite revelar quais critérios representam as forças e fraquezas das comunidades.
Produkty uboczne przetwórstwa owoców w projektowaniu żywności
Authors: Pachołek Bogdan
Published: February 2023

Celem studiów literaturowych i badań eksperymentalnych, których efektem jest prezentowana książka, była ocena przydatności i możliwości wykorzystania produktów ubocznych przetwórstwa owoców jagodowych jako źródła substancji o korzystnym działaniu żywieniowym w opracowaniu koncepcji innowacyjnego wyrobu ciastkarskiego o podwyższonej wartości żywieniowej. Tego rodzaju badania mogą wzbudzać duże zainteresowanie ze względu na potencjalny korzystny wpływ biologicznie aktywnych substancji na stan zdrowia konsumentów oraz obniżenie ryzyka powstawania niektórych chorób, zwłaszcza nowotworów i chorób układu krążenia. Również postawy i zachowania żywieniowe konsumentów, rozwój rynku innowacji produktowych, możliwość redukcji obciążeń środowiska oraz pełniejsze wykorzystanie surowców stanowią istotne przesłanki do podjęcia takich badań. Wyniki przeprowadzonych badań wskazują, że konsumenci są zainteresowani żywnością o cechach prozdrowotnych w segmencie wyrobów cukierniczych suchych. Produkty uboczne przetwórstwa czarnych porzeczek i malin stanowią cenny surowiec bogaty w nienasycone kwasy tłuszczowe, substancje o właściwościach przeciwutleniających, błonnik pokarmowy, białka o korzystnym żywieniowo składzie aminokwasowym, sterole. Opracowany innowacyjny produkt z pestkami malin charakteryzował się wysokim i korzystnym żywieniowo składem frakcyjnym błonnika pokarmowego, uprawniającym do zastosowania oświadczenia żywieniowego: „produkt o wysokiej zawartości błonnika pokarmowego”. Ponadto wyrób cechował się dodatkowymi właściwościami żywieniowymi, m.in. wysoką aktywnością przeciwutleniającą oraz wysoką zawartością związków fenolowych. Eksperymentalne wyroby ciastkarskie z pestkami malin, produktem ubocznym przetwórstwa owoców jagodowych, mogą stanowić ciekawą, innowacyjną propozycję w segmencie żywności funkcjonalnej z punktu widzenia wartości odżywczych i potencjalnych właściwości prozdrowotnych. Wielokierunkowa ocena projektowanych produktów potwierdziła zasadność aplikacji produktów ubocznych w wyrobach ciastkarskich w celu kształtowania ich dodatkowych cech żywieniowych.
