Published: October 2023

Cognitive interventions showed promising evidence in postponing the potential cognitive decline in older adults. However, the results of such interventions are still debated as not being ecologically valid nor producing transfer effect. Hence, we designed an ecologically valid intervention using online shopping applications to explore its effectiveness on older adults’ cognitive functioning. For this aim, we recruited 102 healthy Malaysian older adults (M= 66.18, SD= 4.95). Participants were randomly assigned to one of the study groups including the experimental (CSI), active (ACG), or passive (PCG) control groups. Participants in CSI and ACG attended 22 weekly intervention sessions, while PCG participants did not attend any intervention sessions. Participants in the CSI group completed a series of tasks targeted inhibition and WM-updating in shopping applications. In contrast, ACG participants were only asked to complete their non-CSI tasks by interacting freely with the same applications. All participants attended assessment sessions in the baseline, post-test, and a 1-month follow-up to complete an online survey and cognitive measures including Stroop, digit span, Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT), and the self-developed inhibition and WM-updating tasks using a travelling application (to examine the between-application transfer). Data was analysed using Bayesian independent t-test, and multiple linear regression. The results indicated a credible difference between CSI and PCG in post-test and follow-up in PASAT-3second, and between ACG and PCG in post-test and follow-up in PASAT-2second subscale. Moreover, CSI showed higher inhibition and WM-updating scores post-training in the travelling application compared to both control groups. Besides, we found that factors including age, baseline score, cognitive reserve, MoCA score, and training progress, are the significant predictors of mean differences. In conclusion, our findings revealed that being involved in cognitively stimulating activities would benefit older adults.

Published: October 2023

Despite the well-known benefits of comprehensive sexual health education, the majority of school sexual health education curricula in the United States are non-comprehensive and exclude LGBTQ+ students. This exclusion may contribute to poor health outcomes in LGBTQ+ students, with some research beginning to document these experiences and provide recommendations for curriculum changes. Using a sample of LGBTQ+ youth across the United States (U.S.; ages 13-17; N = 809; 63% transgender or nonbinary youth), this study aimed to characterize youths’ sexual health education experiences and provide curricula recommendations using a mixed methods approach. Quantitative analyses revealed that LGBTQ+ people and content are often excluded from youths’ sexual health education curricula, particularly topics surrounding sexual orientation and gender identity, which youth wanted to learn more about. Furthermore, participants identified several extracurricular sources of sexual health education, such as online spaces, friends, and personal experiences, which were often preferred. Qualitative analyses suggested that LGBTQ+ youth described school-based sexual health education as excluding LGBTQ+ content, often being based in abstinence, religion, or described as oppressive (e.g., hearing negative remarks) or suppressive (e.g., skipping required LGBTQ+ content). LGBTQ+ youth also provided recommendations for curriculum development. Findings can inform more inclusive sexual education curriculum development and implementation, as well as policy change to ascertain that all youth have access to comprehensive sexual health education.

„Preludium rewolty”. Bunt kobiet w poezji Joanny Mueller
Authors: Glosowitz Monika
Published: October 2023

Celem artykułu jest odpowiedź na pytanie o przyczyny przeoczeń, przemilczeń i przesunięć w krytycznoliterackiej recepcji poezji Joanny Mueller. Autorka analizuje omówienia kolejnych książek poetki i pokazuje działanie mechanizmu, który nazywa „podwójnym standardem” języka krytyki; mechanizm ten umożliwiał wielokrotne wykonywanie gestów dyskredytowania wagi tej poezji, a ma źródła w specyficznie opracowywanych przez krytyków i krytyczki doświadczeniu i temacie macierzyństwa, którego poetycka tematyzacja często spotyka się z negatywnym komentarzem krytycznym. Analiza ta jest zestawiona z alternatywną propozycją rekonstrukcji głównej linii poetyckiej opowieści Mueller o macierzyństwie, opowieści, w której jednostkowe osobiste przeżycie staje się bazą budowania wspólnoty kobiet opartej na doświadczaniu takiej samej opresji. Twórczość Joanny Mueller z pewnością została przez krytyków i krytyczki dostrzeżona oraz była wielokrotnie (choć nieregularnie) komentowana i opisana, pisarka funkcjonuje więc w szeroko pojętym polu produkcji i popularyzacji literatury w Polsce.
Powrót do domu. Odbudowa zniszczonej planety w 2312 Kima Stanleya Robinsona
Authors: Lubawa Katarzyna
Published: October 2023

Artykuł poświęcony jest znaczeniu Ziemi w futurologicznej wizji prezentowanej przez Kima Stanleya Robinsona w powieści 2312 utrzymanej w gatunku fikcji klimatycznej. Intensywny rozwój technologiczny wraz z postępującą degradacją środowiska naturalnego posłużyły za fundament pesymistycznej perspektywy, której wynikiem w dyskursie literackim stał się motyw opuszczenia naszej planety w celu budowania życia na nowo w innych częściach wszechświata. Robinson przeciwstawia temu kierunkowi w myśleniu o przyszłości narrację optymistyczną, skupioną wokół odbudowy i powrotu do korzeni. Tekst stanowi analizę takiego ujęcia, ukazuje też spekulacyjny charakter obrazu ludzkości nakreślonego w powieści Robinsona. Celem artykułu jest ponadto wskazanie powiązań między utworem a rozwijającym się w przestrzeni science fiction nurtem – solarpunkiem.

Authors: Juszczyk Andrzej
Published: October 2023

Artykuł poświęcony jest analizie projektów o tematyce science fiction realizowanych w dziełach muzyki popularnej, konkretnie w twórczości zespołu Kraftwerk, Gary’ego Numana i zespołu Nine Inch Nails. Omówiono aspekty konstytuujące te konkretne opowieści w ramach przedstawianych światów, a także ich specyficzną warstwę dźwiękową, nadającą tym projektom silnie immersyjny charakter. Muzyka i dźwięki słyszalne na płytach stają się doświadczalnym, bo dającym się usłyszeć, znakiem przyszłości nie tylko z powodu tematyki utworów. Ważnym elementem wpływającym na działanie tych projektów jest też silnie nowatorski, oryginalny sposób ich tworzenia, wykraczający znacznie poza horyzont oczekiwań typowych odbiorców.
Beyond the Capitalist, Colonial, Carceral and White Supremacist University: Radical Abolitionist Imaginings and Activism
Authors: Bain Beverly
Published: October 2023

This article takes up the idea of collective organizing as a way to create learning and teaching spaces as liberatory. It engages the radical abolitionist work of Ruth Wilson Gilmore that insists we organize collectively as scholars and teachers in the university, to imagine that which engenders freedom.

This paper also engages the writings of Black Studies Scholar Rinaldo Walcott and Indigenous Scholar Sandy Grande to reveal how the university with its compensatory individualism and politics of recognition work to maintain anti-blackness and white settler colonial practices. It ends with some examples of refusal and abolitionist practices aimed at creating and imagining spaces of learning and living.
Some Aspects of the Activation of Program-Targeted Support of Foreign Economic Activity
Authors: Kruglov Vladimir Nikolaevich
Published: October 2023

Today, during the period of the sanctions impact on Russia by foreign unfriendly countries, the role and importance of the regulatory function of foreign economic activity, the need for its improvement and adaptation to the changed conditions are increasing as never before. In this way, the author considers the tools of currency and export control, as well as tariff and non-tariff methods of regulation to be the most effective. Using the example of the customs industry, scientists conducted a retrospective study of the possibilities of intensification of existing activity algorithms. The reliability of the obtained results is ensured by the use of multifactor analysis, system, complex, process and situational approaches to the reference points of the studied problem. The conclusion is made about non-compliance with the balance of priorities (the predominance of the fiscal function over law enforcement), excessive liberalization of Russian legislation in foreign economic activity, relatively weak interdepartmental interaction. Measures are proposed to correct of imperfections by improving the risk profile and a number of other measures.
Introduction of a risk-based approach into the practice of organizations: problems and ways to solve them
Authors: Kiselev Aleksandr Aleksandrovich
Published: October 2023

Currently, domestic organizations, primarily controlling (supervisory) organizations, must, in compliance with the current legislation, switch to a risk-oriented approach in their activities. However, the science of management of organizations could not timely provide scientifically sound proposals for the practical implementation of laws by organizations on the implementation of a risk-based approach in the practice of work. At the same time, it is particularly difficult for practitioners of organizations to assess risks and hazards in order to assign them to certain categories and classes in order to optimize the frequency of inspections and reduce the cost of inspections while increasing their effectiveness.

Authors:   Kazakh State Law University, Medesheva I.B.
Published: October 2023

The article deals with important issues and a period of the domestic urban history — the formation and development of urban space in Kazakhstan in Modern times. The city as a reflection of a new form of settlement defines a new spatial organization of the settlement of the population, a change in its quantitative and qualitative composition. People not only live in the city, but also engage in various types of activities, as well as create a new structure of society on a social, political, economic basis, form deep differences and contradictions between them, new types of relationships. These new relations are reflected in the system of intraurban settlement, creating a new form of the city and society as a whole, reflecting various social differences and contradictions between individuals and communities, as well as their unification within a single urban space. In urban conditions, housing, a mosque or a church, a school, a market, an enterprise represent an orderly space of human production. The research aims to study the urban landscape of Kazakhstan and identify its regional features, as well as determining those factors that influenced the change and transformation of the country’s urban space during the period under review
Biography of Kuzyev Ramazan Usmanovich (1906–1981) in the context of Soviet Bashkortostan cultural construction
Authors:   Bashkir State University, Sirazetdinova M.F.
Published: October 2023

The article presents the life path and legacy of a typical native of peasants, a representative of the first generation of the Soviet intelligentsia, a specialist in the history of Bashkortostan and a participant in the Great Patriotic War R.U. Kuzyev. It demonstrates his contribution to the development of culture, education and historical science; gives a brief overview of his scientific and social activities. The study uses materials from the National Archives of the Republic of Bashkortostan (official documents and personal correspondence). His biography is closely connected to the Soviet period of Russian history and the development of the Bashkir Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (BASSR) (social, cultural, and educational) in the 1920–1970. The materials introduced into scientific circulation are sources of factual information, complementing the picture of the formation of a Soviet intellectual of peasant origin and joining the Komsomol, the first publications in the periodical press of Soviet Bashkortostan and ending with activities as a senior research fellow. The results show that, despite the career growth during the period of repression and persecution of writers and playwrights, the deputy of the Supreme Soviet of the BASSR and the head of the Arts Department defended the honor of the illegally convicted, urged officials not to impose the organization of socially significant voluntary work on the shoulders of individuals and international organizations, and participated in the development of his native village
About collaborationism in the years of the Great Patriotic War
Authors:   Karaganda University of the name of academician E.A. Buketov, Adambek B.K.
Published: October 2023

The article presents the main events regarding the little-studied collaborationist movement during the Great Patriotic War. Based on new sources, the author reveals the reasons for the emergence of collaborationism, its main directions and political motives. The reasons, such as the mistakes of the Soviet leadership in domestic life and national policy, the major defeats of the Red Army at the beginning of the war, as well as the enemy’s political and ideological work, indicate the fact that a significant part of the Soviet citizens went to cooperate with the enemy. During the war years, from the captured Soviet soldiers stationed in camps, representatives of the peoples of Ukraine, Belarus, the Baltic states, the Caucasus and Crimea, the Germans formed significant armed forces that served the invaders. In the ranks of these armed formations from the very beginning there were people who were deliberately traitors, as well as many people who set the goal of getting rid of the Soviet totalitarian regime with the help of the Germans, there were also representatives of different peoples who wanted to achieve national independence. Therefore, the collaborationist movement that arose during the Great Patriotic War should be considered as a special phenomenon. Consequently, this article aims to provide an objective coverage of the events associated with this movement.
Types of interaction between the media and the audience
Authors:   L.N. Gumiliyov Eurasian National University, А.T. Makulbekov , A.M. Malikova ,   Kazakh National University of Arts
Published: October 2023

The ongoing transformations in modern society require rethinking from the angle of different theoretical and methodological approaches. The development of society and the world community cannot be imagined with- out the influence of mass communication and information. It is impossible to imagine the institute of mass media in modern society without an audience. For the successful functioning of the media, it is necessary to study information interaction, social characteristics of the audience and its feedback. The main tool for solving these problems will make it possible to better systematize the existing knowledge about the theory of interaction between the media and the audience, to trace its features in the upcoming professional practice and work in the media. Today, the process of systematization in these concepts can hardly be said to be logically complete. In theoretical publications, the mass media are interpreted ambiguously as a source of distributing information to the public. However, we believe that the mass media can also transmit a function as a way to create an individual.
Problem of person in the history of philosophical thought
Authors:   Karaganda University of the name of academician E.A. Buketov, М.Т. Uxukbayeva , М.U. Issayeva
Published: October 2023

This article examines the problem of a man in the philosophy of different historical periods — the philosophy of the Ancient World, antiquity, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the philosophy of the New Age, modernity. Initially, the first philosophical views on the problem of person developed in ancient Eastern philosophy (in the philosophy of Ancient India and China) are considered. A man as an object of study in the beliefs of ancient people is characterized. The main Western European approaches of ancient philosophy to the allocation of a person as a separate and special philosophical problem (Protagoras, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle) are determined. It is also emphasized that the Western European Middle Ages were marked by the most powerful influence of the Christian worldview on all aspects of people’s lives, particularly on the spiritual life, which was inseparable from the religious worldview (A. Augustine). It is shown that the philosophy of the New Age is formed by the fact that the path to the rational interpretation of human essence was opened (J.O. La Mettrie, P. Holbach, D. Diderot, I. Kant). Features in the philosophy of person of the nineteenth century are highlighted. In addition, the pecularities of Russian philosophy in the second half of the XIX — early XX century and anthropological problems of the 20th century are presented (Belinsky, Chernyshevsky, Berdyaev, Soloviev). Finally, the article also considers the problem of man in Kazakh philosophy and describes viewpoints of Abu Nasr Al-Farabi and Abay. Anthropological problems of the XX century in Western philosophy are presented.
Theoretical and methodological foundations of the study of the Central Asian Futuvwa movement and the prerequisites of the Ahi Institute for the formation of a concept in the historical science of Kazakhstan

Published: October 2023

The study of the prerequisites of the Futuvwa movement and the institution of Ahi, which had a strong influence on the socio-cultural life of Central Asia in the Middle Ages, raises important issues in the history of the country. There are almost no historical works in the database of scientific indicators that raise questions about the political and economic impact of the Yasawiyya school. Since the followers of Yasawiyya were people of different status ranging from ordinary people to the rulers of the country, the historical analysis of the political, economic, and spiritual influence of the school in Turkestan is the basis of fundamental research. The research work enables to fully generalize this period of the country’s history and comprehensively identify the areas of cooperation between states in the field of education and science, political, economic, and spiritual spheres. In medieval Kazakhstan, the Yasawiyya movement occupied a special place. The khanqahs worked for constant service to the brotherhood, and their disciples, such as Khoja Ahmed Yasawi, were engaged in spoon carving. Murshid became the “spirit” of the Turkic peoples. As the animal husbandry was the main activity in the Kipchak steppes, each animal had its own “spirit”. The Ahi Institute also had the “spirit” of every profession. We also see that the concepts used in the hierarchical system of the institution were applied among the nomadic Kazakhs. Yasawiyya Sheikhs interacted with the local population of the territories they visited, developed the Turkestan Sufi school, and formed new structures. The Ahi Institute in Anatolia, which originated as one of these schools, began to function during the Jochi dynasty. Thus, one can note the influence of the Futuvwa movement among the nomadic population of the Turkic peoples in medieval Kazakhstan and prove that the Turkestan Sufi school served as a prerequisite for the creation of the institute of Ahi in Anatolia.
Rationale of teaching the history of historical and cultural tourism in the discipline of local studies
Authors:   Alikhan Bokeikhan University, M. Kanatuly , A.S. Adilbayeva
Published: October 2023

Currently, “historical local studies” has become a key component of educational standards, reflecting the special needs and interests of the region. Based on this, the role of studying local history at the university level is important in raising the professional level of students, promoting deep knowledge of young people about the history of their native land, and forming patriotism among students. The scientific article discusses some methodological approaches and methods of patriotic education in higher educational institutions. In particular, one of the simplest and most effective means of patriotic education for students in the educational process is the teaching of tourism through a local history subject. The authors propose measures for the introduction of cultural and local history practices in the educational process and strengthening their role in the formation of professional competencies of future specialists. The article defines the term local history, considers methods of teaching cultural and historical tourism on the subject of local history. A scientific analysis of the similarities and differences between tourism and local history is carried out. In addition, detailed information is provided on the positive impact of teaching local history at the university on the spiritual development of students, the impact on the historical, social and cultural structure of the region.

This article presents the results of studies of a sailing wind power plant at various parameters. For this purpose, a model of a wind power plant controlled by a system of sail blades was developed. Studies of aerodynamic forces at different angles of deflection of the sail blade system were carried out: 0°; 30°; 60°; 90°. The air flow velocity varied in the range from 3 to 14 m/s. The experiments were carried out in a T-1-M wind tunnel designed to measure forces and moments acting on a sailing wind turbine. As a result of experiments, it was found that with an increase in the air flow velocity, the frequency of rotation of the shaft of the wind power plant increased. The maximum rotational speed of the shaft was reached at α = 0° deflection of the sail blade system of the wind power plant. A number of experiments were carried out and aerodynamic characteristics were obtained depending on the deflection angle (α) of the sail blade system of the wind power plant and the air flow velocity. As the deflection angle of the blade system increases, the drag force decreases depending on the air flow velocity. It was experimentally established that at α = 30° deflection of the blade system created the maximum lift force. Based on the data obtained, it was found that with an increase in the speed of the incoming air flow, the aerodynamic forces acting on the sailing wind power plant increased.

In this article, the aerodynamic characteristics of a wind turbine of various parameters are studied. For this purpose, an experimental two-cylinder model with fixed blades was made. A schematic diagram of a wind turbine with fixed blades and rotating cylinders is obtained. The airflow velocity varied from 3 to 12 m/s. The dependences of the aerodynamic forces of a wind power plant on the flow velocity were investigated. The analysis of the results of the experiment on changing the angle α of the fixed blade relative to the cylinder from the airflow velocity of the wind turbine is carried out. When the position of the blade changes, the drag changes relative to the airflow. A graph is constructed based on the dependence of drag and lift forces on the flow velocity. It is established that at the maximum angle relative to the cylinder α = 30° that the value of the lifting force and the drag force of the fixed blade is higher. From the dependence of the coefficient of lift and drag force on the Reynolds number, it was found that at an angle of 30° degrees, there is a minimum lifting force of 0.04 and a maximum drag force of 1.479 at Re=1·104. The results of the experiment show that it is possible to use an additional force driven by the Magnus effect that occurs when rotating cylinders with a horizontal axis. These results are considered useful for us in practice since these results can be used in combined wind engines operating at low wind speeds. This wind power plant can generate electricity starting from a wind speed of 2.8 m/s.

Published: October 2023

The availability of clean water at affordable prices is one of the key technological, social, and economic challenges of the 21st century. The increased extraction of groundwater worldwide is leading to the gradual intrusion of salty water into sources and water horizons. In order to use this water for industrial and agricultural purposes, or as drinking water, it needs to be purified and desalinated. Thus, methods of desalinating water of different salinity levels, ranging from brackish to seawater, are becoming more prominent. The overall goal of current research is to make water desalination technologies more energyefficient and cost-effective. One promising technology that meets these requirements is capacitive deionization (CDI) of water. This technology has been widely known for over 30 years, but significant progress in CDI research has only been achieved in recent years. In this review, we examine the currently developed architectures of CDI cells, advancements in carbon materials, and discuss the prospects and challenges of commercializing this technology.
USAGE OF PODCASTS AND VIDEOCASTS IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING AS A METHOD OF DEVELOPING LISTENING SKILLS
Authors: Hrynova Yuliia , Rafalska Mariia , Polodiuk Mariana
Published: October 2023

The article investigates and substantiates the peculiarities of introducing podcasts and videocasts into English language classes to develop students' listening skills. The use of podcasts enables a new approach to such an activity as listening. The variety of podcasts and their topics is remarkable, so they can be used at different stages of language learning.The authors reveal the effectiveness of implementing this teaching method in the educational process and highlight the main innovative possibilities of applying podcasting. Foreign language teachers who use audio blogs in the teaching process usually distinguish two ways of using podcasts: firstly, information can be listened to, and secondly, you can create your own products in the classroom or beyond.Thus, in order to achieve the final result, it is necessary to take a learning tool approach to podcasts and videocasts, select the minimum and ensure that this experimental minimum is firmly mastered. The aim is to develop studentsʼ grammar, listening, speaking and writing skills. Ultimately, learners are able to distinguish between podcasts and videocasts when reading and listening, while still receiving meaningful information.It is postulated that specially created educational audio blogs can be aimed at developing the skills of listening and comprehension of coherent audio text, while authentic podcasts provide information for oral or written reflection or discussion. The features and capabilities of podcasts provide a new and relevant quality of the foreign language learning process, contribute to the development of not only the motivation of students, but also their initiative and determination, deepen their listening and hearing abilities, which certainly has a positive impact on improving the effectiveness of the learning process.

Keywords: podcast; videocast; computerization; audio blog; relevant and authentic audio and video materials; technology of practical work; innovative educational opportunities; development of listening skills.
FEATURES OF THE ORGANIZATION OF LABORATORY WORKS IN THE STUDY OF PHYSICS OF ELECTRICAL PHENOMENA USING SOFTWARE SIMULATORS
Authors: Varganova Dina , Kolomiiets Roman
Published: October 2023

The article shows the possibility of convenient use of software simulators of electric circuits in performing laboratory works in physics, theory of electric circuits and signals, and the basics of electronics. An example of studying Kirchhoffʼs laws in the NI Multisim 14 simulator as one of the simplest in terms of interface but very powerful in terms of capabilities is considered. The choice of NI Multisim is due to the fact that it is de-facto one of the industrial standards in the real design of electronic devices. Thus, students are introduced to not an educational software simulator for modeling electrical phenomena, but to industrial software that they may have to deal with as future electronics designers.The article describes the structure of a typical mini-project (laboratory work) on the study of Kirchhoff's laws, and shows that this approach to organizing training is related to the specifics of teaching students majoring in 172 – “Telecommunications and Radio Engineering”, 123 – “Computer Engineering” and 125 – “Cybersecurity”.As a result, students acquire the skills to develop and test models of electrical circuits with visualization of the results obtained, learn to use the methods of solving systems of linear equations acquired in the course of mathematics in practice.

Keywords: educational technologies of distance learning; simulation of electrical circuits; analysis of processes in electrical systems; use of NI Multisim 14 software package for educational purposes; laboratory works in physics and electronics; Ohm’s law; Kirchhoff's laws; virtual learning environment.

The purpose of the article is the development of the engineering calculation methodology necessary for the implementation of the practical exercise “Definition of zones of soil contamination by municipal solid waste and calculation of energy costs of their cleaning” from the discipline of life safety to promote the deepening of knowledge on the protection of the lithosphere of future specialists.

The proposed method of engineering calculations includes the calculation of: the size of the zones of soil contamination by pollutants (heavy metals, benzapyrene, petroleum products) around municipal solid waste landfills, the specific energy consumption of landfill soil cleaning by electrochemical remediation from heavy metal contamination, the energy consumption of soil cleaning of municipal solid waste disposal landfills of municipal solid waste both by individual heavy metals and general. The specific energy costs of cleaning the soil of municipal solid waste landfills by the method of electrochemical remediation from pollution were determined depending on the required level of heavy metal concentrations. The energy costs of cleaning the soil of municipal solid waste landfills by the electrochemical remediation method of pollution were determined taking into account the size of the pollution zones and the size of the municipal solid waste landfill. Based on the comparison and comparison of the experimental data obtained as a result of the research, it was established that the success rate of the students of both experimental groups according to the stobal scale was significantly higher than the success rate of the students of the control groups, which means the introduction of the proposed practical lesson from the regulatory discipline “Life Safety” into the educational process is promising. The construction of methods of engineering calculations for the protection of the atmosphere and hydrosphere require further research.

The article provides a definitive analysis of key concepts in the professional training of future human rights defenders in higher education institutions. The problem of training future specialists for various aspects of professional activity, in particular legal protection, attracts the attention of the domestic scientific community today. The result of this is the emergence of scientific works that present the results of the search for effective ways of forming the legal competence of future specialists in non-legal specialties, the development of the legal culture of young people, and the improvement of legal awareness of adults.

The purpose of the article is to analyze the terminological apparatus related to the formation of professional competence of future specialists in the field of law.

In the process of a comprehensive and thorough analysis of the problem of professional training of future human rights defenders in institutions of higher education, the following leading terms of the research problem were singled out: “competence”, “professional competence”, “legal competence”, “human rights defender”, “human rights protection activity”, “professional competence of a human rights defender”, “professional training of future human rights defenders” and “model of professional training of future human rights defenders in higher education institutions by means of distance learning”.

Therefore, building a model of professional training of future legal scholars in institutions of higher education will allow to determine the conditions for the development of their professional competence and increase the efficiency of the educational process. Therefore, within the scope of our research, the model of professional training of future legal scholars in institutions of higher education is a way of formalizing the studied pedagogical phenomenon, with the help of which its main features and properties are tracked.

Taking into account the multifaceted nature and complexity of the research topic, it is necessary to continue further theoretical development and practical testing of the developed model of professional training of future human rights defenders in higher education institutions by means of distance learning.
L’ospitalità negata e il disfacimento di una società: i casi emblematici di Lot a Sodoma in Gn 19 e del crimine di Gabaa in Gdc 19
Authors: Rizzi Giovanni
Published: October 2023

Hospitality is a widespread practice in the ancient Near East, also regulated by written legislation. Biblical legislation protects the orphan, the widow and the foreigner; but there is also an opposite tendency of not being able to accept the presence of pagan populations in the land of the fathers. The protocol of hospitality is a practice in the biblical world which never reached the form of written legislation, and which is presented as a set of literary motifs disseminated in numerous texts, without configuring a true and proper literary genre. The stories of Gen 19:1–29 and of Judg 19:11–30 are influenced by the dialectic between the two tendencies of the biblical world; what emerges from their comparison is the warning that the violation of the protocol of hospitality is an indication of the unravelling of the society. A canonical reading of the two biblical stories proposes as an example the behaviour of Abraham, who practices unconditional hospitality without limits.
