HARTA DALAM PERSPEKTIF AL-QUR'AN DAN HADIS: ANTARA NILAI SPIRITUAL DAN MATERIALISME KONTEMPORER
Authors: Sakinah Gina
Published: December 2024

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis konsep harta dalam perspektif Al-Qur'an dan Hadis, dengan menyoroti dimensi spiritualitas dan materialisme dalam konteks kontemporer. Penelitian ini menjawab pertanyaan mengenai bagaimana Al-Qur'an dan Hadits mendefinisikan harta sebagai amanah Ilahi dan bagaimana konsep tersebut dapat diterapkan dalam menghadapi tantangan materialisme modern. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan pendekatan tafsir tematik (maudhu’i) terhadap ayat-ayat Al-Qur'an dan analisis kritis terhadap Hadis-hadis yang relevan. Data primer diambil dari kitab-kitab tafsir klasik dan modern, serta kitab Hadits yang disepakati otentisitasnya. Analisis dilakukan dengan menghubungkan konsep-konsep harta dengan fenomena sosial-ekonomi kontemporer. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dalam Al-Qur'an dan Hadis, harta bukan hanya alat untuk memenuhi kebutuhan duniawi, tetapi juga instrumen untuk mendekatkan diri kepada Allah melalui infaq, zakat, dan sedekah. Konsep harta dalam Islam menekankan keseimbangan antara penggunaan material dan pemenuhan nilai-nilai spiritual. Penelitian ini juga menemukan bahwa materialisme modern sering kali bertentangan dengan prinsip-prinsip keadilan, keberlanjutan, dan tanggung jawab sosial yang diajarkan dalam Islam. Kebaharuan penelitian ini terletak pada upaya mereinterpretasi konsep harta dalam Al-Qur'an dan Hadis dengan menyesuaikannya pada dinamika modern, sehingga dapat memberikan solusi bagi individu dan masyarakat Muslim dalam menjaga keseimbangan antara spiritualitas dan materialisme di era globalisasi.
Christian Panentheism, Indigenous Akan Religious Ecology, and Eco-Pneumatology in Ghana
Authors: Golo Ben-Willie Kwaku
Published: December 2024

The claims of many indigenous people regarding their stewardship responsibility towards sustaining the natural world—religious ecology—are in many ways comparable with the claims made by Christians. Against the background of the continuous degradation of the nonhuman world and the urgent need to safeguard it from further degradation, this article argues that some form of panentheism exists in Ghanaian Christianity and that this provides a bridge for constructive dialogue with Akan indigenous religious ecologies for a contextual Christian theology of environmental sustainability, particularly ecological pneumatology. Consequently, this article specifically examines how dialogues regarding the earth (land) between indigenous Akan religious ecology and panentheist practices in Ghanaian Christianity offer bridges for a contextualized eco-pneumatology in Ghanaian Christianity.

FULL ARCH TREATMENT OF ATROPHIC EDENTULOUS MANDIBLE USING SHORT IMPLANTS WITH IMMEDIATE LOADING: CASE REPORT
Authors: Arroyo Esteban , Dias Mary Stella , Castro Andrade Santos Thales de , Miranda Deliberador Tatiana , Marques Padovan Luis Eduardo
Published: December 2024

Full-arch implant rehabilitation in extremely atrophic edentulous mandibles is still challenging due to the high risk of fracture and the limited bone availability. The approach proposes using short implants with immediate loading for final prostheses as a treatment option, which offers shorter treatment times and fewer invasive procedures. A 66-year-old female patient with an edentulous mandible and severe alveolar bone resorption was treated with four short implants in the interforaminal area. The final hybrid metal-plastic full-arch lower prosthesis was delivered three days after the surgery, and the patient was instructed on cleaning methods and requested to maintain a soft diet for the first two postoperative months. After six months of follow-up, the patient experienced no problems; the prosthesis underwent a mechanical examination, each multiunit abutment's peri-implant tissue was assessed, and implants presented no mobility, fibrointegration, or signs of failure. X-ray images demonstrated stable bone levels around implants. Also, it was observed that the integrity of the entire jaw was preserved, and no signs of fracture were observed.

Objective. The objective of this study is to develop and characterize a comprehensive classifier for research and development (R&D), which plays a crucial role in the effective implementation of a National Current Research Information System (CRIS). The study aims to address the challenges and methodologies involved in creating a system that categorizes diverse R&D initiatives while ensuring interoperability with existing systems and adaptability to evolving scientific fields. Methods. The development of the classifier involved a multi-step process, including consultation with domain experts and reviewing existing classification systems. The study focused on identifying key research areas, ensuring compatibility with international standards, and developing a flexible taxonomy to cover both established and emerging fields. A diagnostic study on CRIS systems in Latin America and insights from similar systems, such as in Croatia and Portugal, were examined to refine the classifier's design for Ukraine. Results. The study successfully developed a classifier that addresses the specific needs of the Ukrainian research landscape, particularly within the Ukrainian Information System for Current Research (URIS). The classifier's structure aligns with international standards and supports interoperability with global databases. Furthermore, the dynamic nature of the classifier allows for continuous updates, making it adaptable to new research fields. The classification system was also tailored to accommodate Ukraine’s unique research ecosystem and infrastructure. Conclusions. The development of this R&D classifier represents a strategic advancement for Ukraine’s research infrastructure, enhancing data organization, accessibility, and collaboration. By addressing both technical and contextual challenges, the classifier provides a flexible, scalable solution that supports long-term scientific innovation. This study highlights the importance of context-driven approaches in creating effective research management tools, positioning the classifier as a robust framework for future developments in CRIS systems. The State Scientific Technical Library of Ukraine has played a pivotal role in developing this classifier, ensuring it meets the specific needs of the Ukrainian research community.
University Library as a Health Promotion Centre in Ukraine
Authors: SHEMAIEV O. O.
Published: December 2024

Objective. The article presents the potential of the university library to promote health in Ukraine. The article aims to highlight the features and opportunities of the University library's activities aimed at promoting health and well-being in conditions of uncertainty. Methods. To achieve this goal, the methods of analysis and synthesis, web monitoring, and the basics of the socio-communication approach were used. Results. At present, university libraries have not realised significant opportunities to promote the spiritual, mental, physical and social health of the university community both offline and online. The premises of university libraries, which can combine the functions of a reading room, a health promotion centre and a safe place, a bomb shelter, remain underutilised. Conclusions. There is an urgent need to develop an appropriate strategy for university libraries to implement a programme to promote the health and well-being of the educational community, which will have a long-term positive effect.
Biobibliographic Indexes of Scholarly Publications as a Source of Information about the Biographies and Intellectual Heritage of Previous Generations of Scientists
Authors: MYRONENKO M. A.
Published: December 2024

Objective. Biobibliographic indexes of scientists’ scholarly publications who worked in a particular educational institution or research institute in the twentieth century are an important source of information about the intellectual heritage of previous generations of scholars. One of the main tasks of scientific library workers is to compile the indicated indexes. While performing such work, it is worth taking into account not only purely scientists’ scholarly publications but also materials from local periodicals. This will allow for a more voluminous imagination concerning the heritage of this or that scientist. It should be especially emphasizing the critically small number of Ukrainian-language scholarly publications in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (1922–1991), which was due to the state policy of linguicide. This is precisely the focus of the proposed article. Methods. During the processing of the information array, the authors used methods of content- and bibliographic analysis, and synthesis to separate relevant information from unnecessary (so-called information noise). Results. We analysed more than 75 thousand local periodicals of the Dnieper region for the period 1945–2020, which are in the Scientific Library of the Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies and the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Scientific Library named after the First Slavic Teachers Cyril and Methodius, with the aim of in-depth study of the intellectual achievements of Academician Kirill Fedorovych Starodubov. The work was dedicated to the 120th anniversary of the scientist's birth, which fell on April 19, 2024. Conclusions. The versatility of Academician Starodubov's creative nature is evident in his heritage as a popularizer of science and an outstanding public figure with an indefatigable temperament. This is evidenced by about 520 sources that were included in the biobibliographic index of the scientist's works from 1928 to 2023. Moreover, a separate array of processed sources is the works of the academician's students and followers, in which they respectfully mention their teacher.

Authors: CONTRERAS M. L. , MASALINTO M. L. D. , MALABANAN E. D. , NAVARRO M. R. V.
Published: December 2024

Objective. This study aims to determine the level of digital awareness, literacy, and proficiency among librarians in Qatar National Library. It seeks to explore the relationship between these variables and how they contribute to service delivery. Additionally, the study aims to formulate an action plan to improve librarians’ digital skills, particularly in digital preservation, digitization, and online services. Methods. The study employed a descriptive-correlational survey method to gather data from selected librarians at Qatar National Library. A structured questionnaire was distributed to assess the respondents' digital awareness, literacy, and proficiency levels. The results were analysed using weighted mean averages and correlation tests to establish the relationships between these variables. Results. The findings revealed that the librarians had a very high level of digital awareness (mean of 3.29), digital literacy (mean of 3.29), and digital proficiency (mean of 3.25). Significant relationships were found between digital awareness and literacy, digital literacy and proficiency, and digital awareness and proficiency. These results indicate that the more aware librarians are of digital technologies, the more proficient they become in applying these skills in library services. Conclusions. Librarians at Qatar National Library are highly aware of and skilled in digital technologies, with a strong correlation between awareness, literacy, and proficiency. However, there remains room for growth in areas such as digitization and digital preservation. Action plans should focus on continuous digital skill development to keep pace with emerging technologies.
'Whose is Crimea?' or What Content Are International Databases of Scientific Publications Filled with
Authors: TYMOFIEIEVA H. V. , OPRYSHKO T. S. , BULVINSKA O. I.
Published: December 2024

Objective. The article aims to examine reputable international databases of scientific publications to identify the promotion of anti-Ukrainian content and determine the most typical directions of such promotion. Methods. Using the method of content analysis, the authors identified journals in certain international databases of scientific publications whose publishers are registered in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, as well as Russian journals that publish works by authors from these territories, recognizing them as "new regions of Russia" and positively perceiving the ideas of the legitimacy of including new subjects in the Russian Federation. There are also publications: a) on the regulation of life in the occupied territories according to Russian standards and legislation, b) on new social technologies used in the occupied Ukrainian territories in educational institutions, c) on the formation of Russian national and state identity of residents of illegally annexed regions, etc. Results. The primary scientific outcome of the study is the identification of three significant issues in Russian scientific content that global scientific platforms tend to overlook: the recognition of educational institutions in occupied territories as Russian (since 2016, this has appeared in articles indexed in DOAJ, Scopus, and WoS); the indexing of journals registered in the temporarily occupied territories by DOAJ and Index Copernicus; the instrumental role of international scientific publication databases in disseminating anti-democratic ideas and false narratives through such articles. Conclusions. The authors conclude that without a clear stance from Ukraine's scientific and educational community on this issue and ongoing advocacy for Ukrainian national interests within the international scientific community, there is a risk of harmful ideas detrimental to Ukraine being amplified on an even greater number of international scientific publication aggregators.

Authors: KULYK M. M.
Published: December 2024

Objective. The article is devoted to the study of the role of academic libraries in the advancing of the ecosystem of open science by foreign and domestic authors of the university community. Methods. The following general scientific methods were used in the research: generalization, analysis, and systematic approach. Results. The basis of the promotion of open science is open data and open access, which forms an Open Ecosystem of Scientific Research. This requires the transformation of academic libraries of Ukraine, in particular university libraries, with a change in qualification level of library specialists and technical personnel to assist in the development of resource and information innovations of libraries when using various PIDs (Persistent identifiers). Conclusions. For the scientific community of Ukraine, the Strategy of Open Science is being formed, the implementation and promotion of which will largely depend on the experience of specialists of academic libraries with the support of the State Scientific and Technical Library of Ukraine (SSTL of Ukraine). The Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine (MES of Ukraine) prioritizes the use of international experience in promoting open data and open science, where academic libraries play a leading role.
Turning Open Access to Reality: The Case of Lithuania
Authors: TAUTKEVICIENE G.
Published: December 2024

Objective: This article aims to estimate the changes in the number of open access publications by Lithuanian authors at the national level, based on institutional publication data, as well as the impact of open access policies at the national and institutional levels on these changes. Methods: bibliometric analysis of scientific publications in the databases Scopus and Web of Science was carried out to assess the open access publications of Lithuanian authors and their changes over ten years. Results. Lithuanian author's publications from 2014 to 2023 by open access status increased by almost 33% (WoS) and 31% (Scopus), whereas the share of open access publications funded by the Research Council of Lithuania increased by 24% (WoS) and 37% (Scopus); the share of open access publications by authors from Kaunas University of Technology increased by 31% (WoS) and 26% (Scopus). When analyzing OA publications by open access mode, it is observed that the largest percentage of OA publications are Gold Access and Green Access publications. Conclusions. Lithuanian authors publish OA not only because of institutional and national funders policies but also by international funders, including EC, requirements on OA. When open access policies are guidelines, they have less impact than in those cases when they are mandatory. To measure authors' publications on the national scope, there is a need for metrics and tools to track all publications by Lithuanian authors.

Authors: APOLINARIO R. R. , AHMAD A. , KADIR I. K. A.
Published: December 2024

Objective. Social change involves events affecting social, cultural, economic, political, and geographical contexts. Among others, public librarians play a crucial role in mediating this change by promoting literacy, reading, and combating misinformation. With this in mind, understanding the public librarians’ lived experiences and insights can further facilitate social change and enhance the librarianship field. The study aims to answer the question, of how public librarians understand and affect social change, based on the lived experiences of Filipino public librarians as information professionals. Methods. The Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) approach was used and a semi-structured interview was conducted to determine the perceptions of two Filipino public librarians on social change. Results. The paper showed that public librarians are motivated by their passion for community service. They also believe that education plays a role in social advancement and emphasized the importance of teaching literacy skills and providing learning resources to children. Conclusions. The paper concludes that these librarians perceive social change as helping people through their advocacies, information services, and library programs.

Published: December 2024

The objective is to determine the direction of implementing artificial intelligence (AI) in the activities of foreign and domestic academic libraries. Methods. The research is based on a combination of the method of analyzing the content of publications with the methods of systematization, generalization, surveying employees of academic libraries in Ukraine, and the method of comparative analysis. Results. It was found that the general directions for practical application of AI technologies in academic libraries of foreign and Ukrainian countries are: training, reference work, intelligent user service, and collection management. The main direction of the ChatGPT application is: to study this tool, and its application in reference and advertising activities. It was established that in libraries of foreign universities, the following are being initiated: the creation of intellectual spaces (USA); the use of robotics (Canada, China); and the formation of a smart library (USA, China). Conclusions. The importance of implementing AI technologies in the activities of academic libraries, which create new opportunities for scientific research and education, is confirmed. At the same time, the research confirms the insufficient level of AI implementation by university libraries to provide innovative alternative services. It is urgent to develop a strategy for the university library regarding implementing AI technologies and developing employees' relevant competencies.

REACHABLE SET OF SOME DISCRETE SYSTEM WITH UNCERTAIN LIU DISTURBANCES
Authors: Ananyev Boris I.
Published: December 2024

In this paper, we consider a problem of finding of the attainability set for a linear system with determinate and stochastic Liu's uncertainties. In the capacity of Liu's disturbances are used ordinary uniformly distributed and independent among themselves uncertain values defined on some uncertain space. This fact means that the state vector of the system and the entire problem become infinite dimensional one. As the determinate disturbances are taken in attention feedback controls and unknown initial states. Besides, the restriction in the form of the sum of uncertain expectations is set. The initial estimation problem is reduced to the determinate multistage problem for matrices and with the fixed restriction on the right end of trajectory. This reduction demands some information about Liu's theory. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for finiteness of target functional in the obtained determinate problem. A numerical example for two-dimensional and two-stage system is given.

Published: December 2024

If \(w(\zeta)\) is a polynomial of degree $n$ with all its zeros in \(|\zeta|\leq \Delta, \Delta\geq 1\) and any real \(\gamma\geq 1\), Aziz proved the integral inequality [1] $$ \left\lbrace\int_{0}^{2\pi}\left|1+\Delta^ne^{i\theta}\right|^{\gamma}d\theta\right\rbrace^{{1}/{\gamma}}\max_{|\zeta|=1}|w^{\prime}(\zeta)|\geq n\left\lbrace\int_{0}^{2\pi}\left|w\left(e^{i\theta}\right)\right|^{\gamma}d\theta\right\rbrace^{{1}/{\gamma}}.$$  In this article, we establish a refined extension of the above integral inequality by using the polar derivative instead of the ordinary derivative consisting of the leading coefficient and the constant term of the polynomial. Besides, our result also yields other intriguing inequalities as special cases.
Revisiting the Etymology of the Ethnonym Mordva
Authors:   Ural Federal University, Napolskikh Vladimir V. ,   The Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, Surikova Olesya D. ,   Ural Federal University,   Vinogradov Russian Language Institute of the RAS
Published: December 2024

The Russian term for the Erzya and Moksha Peoples, Mordva, attested since the 12th century, is an exoethnonym with no roots in the Mordvinic languages. The common theory that it was formed with the Russian collective suffix -va is inaccurate, as this suffix, in combination with nominal stems, likely did not exist in Old Russian. A grammatical analysis of the Russian term Mordva suggests that it developed within a noun-declension paradigm ending in -ū, originating from the ethnotoponym mordy. Early attestations, such as the toponym Μορδία in Constantine Porphyrogenitus’s writings (10th century) and the ethnonym Mordens (< Goth. *mordja /*mordi) in Jordanes (6th century, based on earlier 4th-century accounts), support the existence of a proto-form mordi, generally traced to the Iranian *marta-/mart(i)i̯a, meaning ‘man, mortal’. However, the exact pathways of this borrowing from Iranian remain uncertain. The ethnonymic model of “‘man, people’ → autoethnonym” is not typical for societies in early political formation stages, and in Iranian onomastics, marta alone was never used as an ethnonym. The likely source of these terms is the Iranian ethnonym (possibly originally a socionym) må̄rdi- (Avestan marəδa, Μάρδοι/Ἄμαρδοι in ancient sources), meaning “killer” — a designation for nomadic, warlike Iranian tribes of the southern and eastern Caspian regions, potentially extending further north, from the second half of the 1st millennium BC. The term reached the Volga region in the early centuries AD, carried by migrating military groups who left Andreevsko-Piseralian-type artefacts on the Volga’s right bank below the mouth of the Oka. From these Iranians, the ethnonym (or socionym) må̄rdi- was adopted by the Goths (as Mordens), passed to the Byzantines (as Μορδία), and, by the early 2nd millennium AD, entered Old Russian (as Mordians, later Mordva).
Tungus-Manchu Etymologies of Hydronyms of the Amur River Basin
Authors:   Institute for Humanitarian Research and North Indigenous People Problems of Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Varlamov Alexander N. , Varlamova Julia A. ,   Institute for Humanitarian Research and North Indigenous People Problems of Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: December 2024

This article focuses on the toponymy of Siberia, presenting a detailed etymological analysis of the Amur River system from the perspective of spatial orientation among the Evenki and related Tungus-Manchu peoples. The research methodology is grounded in lexical analysis, reflecting the agglutinative characteristics of the Tungus-Manchu languages. Folklore, ethnographic materials, and previous research on the subject are incorporated into the study. The etymological findings are based on an objective assessment of the landscape and geographical features of the water bodies under consideration. The authors reach the following conclusions: 1. The holistic perception of the Amur River system by Tungus-Manchu peoples diverges from the structure reflected in modern cartography, this perception integrates the Hailar, Argun, Shilka, and Amur rivers into one single system. 2. In the Evenki spatial map, the upper reaches of the Amur River system are identified as the Hailar (Evenki Һāj(ā)lān, Һāj(ā)lār — Top, Lob [of the river system]’) and Argun (Evenki Һaergӯn, Ӓrgӯn — ‘Lower [upper part]’). 3. Shilka and the upper Amur (Evenki Shilkir, Silkir) derive from a common root *silka/shilka, meaning ‘narrow valley,’ reflecting the landscape’s characteristics (relatively narrow waterways bordered by extensive mountain systems). 4. In the Tungus-Manchu languages, the lower reaches of the Amur, after its confluence with the Sungari, are referred to as Maӈgu/Maӈmu, meaning ‘Big River.’ 5. The hydronym Amur, originally Amar, has Tungusic origins and translates as ‘the back or last part of the big river.’ 6. The established variant of the hydronym Amur in cartography is attributed to the Solon language, which preserved influences from the Jurchen language. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the intersection between linguistic, geographical, and cultural factors in Siberian toponymy.
To the Study of Individual Nicknames with Situational Motivation in Russian Folk Dialects
Authors:   Ural Federal University, Borisova Elizaveta O.
Published: December 2024

This article investigates a specific naming pattern found in traditional individual nicknames, where the internal form of the nickname references a particular episode in the individual’s life. This pattern is proposed to be termed nicknames with situational motivation. The study is based on field recordings from the Toponymic Expedition of Ural University, conducted in the Arkhangelsk, Vologda, Kirov, Kostroma, Chelyabinsk, and Sverdlovsk regions, as well as in the Perm Krai. Many of the nicknames discussed are being introduced into academic discourse for the first time. The first part of the article examines how specific situations are encoded in the internal form of nickname anthroponyms, as recounted in informants’ stories. The most frequent patterns involve references to notable details of an event or to remarks made by participants, such as humorous or uncharacteristic phrases, slips of the tongue, speech errors, or self-referential remarks. The second part of the article attempts to establish criteria for evaluating the reliability of situational explanations provided by informants. The analysis shows that the stories behind nicknames are generally well-preserved in collective memory and are easily reproduced, albeit with occasional variations in detail. A nickname’s deviation from productive formal or semantic patterns can serve as indirect evidence of situational motivation. Additionally, it is suggested that situational motivation may sometimes be secondary, with another characteristic forming the nickname’s primary basis. However, the clarity of the situational naming pattern often encourages informants to construct or adapt explanatory contexts to fit the pattern.
Matrizes ideológicas da historiografia brasileira
Authors: Lynch Christian
Published: December 2024

Para demonstrar as relações íntimas entre as ideologias e a escrita da história do Brasil, este artigo revisita as décadas posteriores à independência com o objetivo de correlacionar as histórias da independência ao seu contexto partidário de produção. Os partidos que disputavam o poder também disputavam o “sentido da revolução”, ou seja, as razões e o significado dos acontecimentos que levaram ao fim do Antigo Regime e à separação de Portugal. Se é possível ler a História dos principais sucessos do Império do Brasil do visconde de Cairu (1830) pelas lentes conservadoras do “partido realista”, se pode fazer o mesmo a respeito da História do Brasil (1836) de John Armitage, correlacionando-o à visão de mundo do “partido liberal moderado”, bem como vincular a História dos movimentos de 1842 (1844) de José Antônio Marinho e O libelo do povo de Torres Homem (1849) às expectativas do partido radical ou luzia. Essas diferentes narrativas partidárias, plasmadas como histórias, serviram de matrizes ideológicas para as historiografias que se formariam a partir da década de 1860: a conservadora, a liberal e a radical.
La historia como transmisora de salud o enfermedad
Authors: Romero Manuel
Published: December 2024

Nietzsche considera que, al estar los fundamentos filosófico-epistémicos de los estudios históricos erigidos sobre componentes suprasensibles, estos proyectan un marco del quehacer historiográfico que incentiva una forma de hacer historia que perjudica la vida. Esto sucede, por un lado, porque promueve narrativas con funciones moralizadoras las cuales inmovilizan y coartan el potencial artístico; y, por otro lado, porque incentiva una producción desmesurada y sin criterios de documentos históricos. Esta producción asfixiaría a la vida en un mar de informaciones inagotables que el ser humano no puede procesar ni digerir. Para curar a la historia de sus reactivos efectos sobre lo corpóreo y transformarla en un medio de salud, Nietzsche propone dos remedios, por un lado, erigir una nueva perspectiva historiográfica que emule y resalte el movimiento artístico de la naturaleza, y, por otro lado, llevar a cabo una dietética que nos permita hacer un consumo nutritivo y vivificante de la historia.
Time Layers or Time Regimes
Authors: Jansen Harry
Published: December 2024

In this article, I examine Koselleck’s vision on time layers and the forward-looking view they entail. According to me, both its future orientation and its division into time layers are debatable, given his Kantian approach to concepts and his misappropriation of the simultaneity of the non-simultaneous. My research is quite urgent since several authors are following in his footsteps. Hartog does this by distinguishing between three time regimes, the second being based on Koselleck’s future-oriented time. Lucian Hölscher prefers Koselleck’s empty time to an embodied one. Zoltán Boldizsár Simon and Marek Tamm started a project in 2021 called ‘Historical Futures,’ in which they propose a time regime that decouples the past and present from the future. They have concluded it with a plea for an open future. In this way they hope to have a better starting point for dealing with the issues of the Anthropocene. Unfortunately, all of them sharpen Reinhart Koselleck’s vision of a forward-looking time and thus also reinforce its shortcomings. Hartog’s time regimes would have been a better choice. Thinking ahead and disconnecting the past and present from the future cannot solve our current time out of joint. A more balanced view of time is a better way out.
Documentar la historia desde la tierra en la Patagonia Austral argentina
Authors: Blázquez Julieta Aldana , Relva Lisandro
Published: December 2024

Este artículo aborda las disputas por el pasado de la provincia de Santa Cruz, en particular, y de la Patagonia Austral, en general, desde el campo historiográfico en un momento de consolidación disciplinar a nivel local. Para ello, se propone estudiar el libro Los dueños de la tierra en la Patagonia Austral, 1880-1920, de la Dra. Elsa Mabel Barbería, y analizar la propia trayectoria político-institucional de la autora, pionera en los estudios de Historia regional en el sur argentino. Para el primer objetivo, se trabaja desde el análisis materialista del discurso; para el segundo se utiliza la perspectiva de la institucionalización. Mediante un trabajo heurístico sin precedentes que documenta la historia de la distribución de la tierra en la región y su impacto en el conflicto entre el blanco y el indígena, Barbería disputa con la historiografía tradicional patagónica por la interpretación y la producción de lo real.
Gêneros de escrita da História
Authors: Ribeiro Locks Luiz Gabriel
Published: December 2024

O presente artigo tem como seu objetivo pontuar diferentes formas de se escrever História no campo de estudos de História da China, com foco nas mudanças que a Escrita da História sofreu na longa duração, fornecendo referências para uma melhor compreensão do que Hui (2005; 2023) chamou de racionalidade histórica chinesa ‘transsistêmica’. Em termos comparativos, enquanto intermédio entre o período moderno e contemporâneo, este texto privilegia duas fontes finais pela aproximação teleológica, sendo ambas pesquisas bibliográficas no tema de História intelectual chinesa do período Qing tardio ao início da República da China. Estas duas fontes são os textos publicados da Nova Historiografia, de Liang Qichao (1902) e o impresso Xin Qingnian (1915-1926 [Nova Juventude]), uma revista fundamental para a compreensão da disseminação das tendências intelectuais e ideias modernistas durante o início do século XX.
Finite Element Modeling of RC Beams Produced with Low-Strength Concrete and Strengthened for Bending and Shear with CFRP and GFRP

In this study, the analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites against bending and shear loads was carried out with the finite element technique, using ABAQUS software, which is widely used in simulating experimental circumstances in numerical studies. It has been reported that buildings in areas damaged by earthquakes are generally constructed using low-strength concrete and inadequate reinforcement. Additionally, construction errors also contribute to reducing the load-bearing capacity of structural elements. For this purpose, nine rectangular cross-section RC beams were experimentally constructed using low-strength concrete and inadequate bending and shear reinforcement. These beams were strengthened by wrapping them in different configurations with Carbon and Glass FRP (CFRP and GFRP) composites to resist shear and bending forces in both transverse and longitudinal directions, and their load-displacement curves were obtained. Subsequently, a three-dimensional Finite Element Model (FEM) was created to validate the experimental results. The FEM validation demonstrated high accuracy in replicating experimental outcomes, emphasizing the influence of mesh size, dilation angle, and concrete constitutive models on simulation fidelity. Parametric studies revealed that increasing longitudinal reinforcement diameters had minimal effect on load capacity but highlighted the critical role of transverse reinforcement, as reducing stirrup spacing significantly improved load-bearing capacity. GFRP-reinforced beams exhibited superior ductility and a 15% higher strength compared to CFRP, suggesting their suitability for applications demanding enhanced displacement capacity. Furthermore, the findings underline the need for refined FEM models to better capture inclined fiber orientations and optimize structural reinforcement strategies.
