Socially Inclusive Knowledge Economy For Sustainable Development
Authors: Ashraf Abrar
Published: July 2024

Terms like "One Earth" and "One Globe" are simply concepts until everyone has access to possibilities without compromising the protection of nature. Is knowledge actually knowledge if it hasn't been implemented to benefit society and the environment? A prosperous society is built on a foundation of interrelated economic and social justice. The concept of social wellbeing is diminishing. Social inequality and marginalized populations in society are expanding alarmingly post-COVID. In the knowledge economy, innovation and competitiveness can deliver effectiveness, quality, establish a solid foundation for harmony with nature, while addressing social vulnerability. The knowledge economy can play a role in tackling global issues such as changing climate concerns and the accessibility of alternative ways to live at every corner of globe. For a prosperous future and for generations to follow, a knowledge economy which puts a strong emphasis on nature and inclusive social well-being may provide positive results. This paper will emphasize the significance of a knowledge economy that is socially inclusive and promotes sustainable growth for the benefit of both people and nature. The paper uses qualitative methodologies to show how a socially inclusive knowledge economy supports social and economic justice while also progressing society towards sustainable growth and development.

Published: July 2024

The research on IT project team management for web communication service aims to develop and implement an information and communication platform that will facilitate efficient information exchange between the department and stakeholders. The main objectives of the project include creating a website that will serve as a central hub for information exchange among students, faculty, administration, prospective students, and employers. Additionally, the project envisions providing access to up-to-date news, announcements, admission information, opportunities, and achievements of the institute, as well as enhancing the institute's visibility in society. The project establishes clear achievement criteria centered on developing functional web pages that cater to the needs of different user groups. The project does face constraints, particularly financial limitations that affect available resources and implementation possibilities. The project also operates within a specific time frame, which imposes limitations on the development, implementation, and testing of all functional elements. For instance, the timing of enrollment campaigns, exam sessions, and modular assessments imposes time-sensitive constraints on delivering current news and announcements. Additionally, resource constraints, such as the availability of a developer and designer team and access to specialized software due to budgetary limitations, pose challenges. Both resource limitations and legislative restrictions impact project realization. Despite these constraints, the project is built on several assumptions. Specifically, it assumes the availability of necessary infrastructure and internal resources within the educational institution for implementing and maintaining the website. Furthermore, it anticipates a positive user response to the introduction of the platform and its functionality. Moreover, the project expects the availability of relevant information and compliance with information security and legislative requirements. The research can serve as a foundation for the creation and development of a web communication service for an educational institution or organization. Its recommendations and conclusions will help take into account key aspects and requirements to ensure effective information exchange among different user groups.
The Impact Of The Pandemic Crisis On The Financing Mechanism Of The Health Care System In The Republic Of Moldova
Authors: Petroia Andrei
Published: July 2024

Health care is one of the basic services guaranteed by the state companies. The level of spending on health, like those on education, can be considered an indicator of the level of development of a nation. Most countries with advanced economies allocate important resources to finance the health sector, as a premise for the healthiest possible generations and long-term sustainable development. The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting everyone. Globally, millions of people have been infected with this virus, and hundreds of thousands have lost their lives. The topic addressed is considered to be actual considering that in the Republic of Moldova the pandemic is putting increasing pressure on the health care and social protection systems, causing major interruptions of economic processes and limitations of social life, deepening inequalities and proving how vulnerable we are. The era of COVID-19 has transformed the healthcare system into an extremely important sector. In addition to increasing spending on the necessary health care and implementing all actions in a non-pandemic situation, additional resources are needed to prevent, spread and treat the coronavirus. The Republic of Moldova has recognized the fundamental role of health protection, representing an essential condition that contributes to increasing the quality of life of the population, as well as to the development of health capital. The national security and economic development of the country largely depends on the functioning of an effective health care financing system in order to preserve the health of the population as the main productive force of society. The main purpose of the paper is to analyze the impact of the pandemic crisis on the financing mechanism of the health care system in the Republic of Moldova. The given research analyzes the total expenses for health protection and their structure in the Republic of Moldova. We also analyze the financing mechanism, during the pandemic crisis, of the health care system in the Republic of Moldova.

Conceptual And Practical Approaches Regarding The Secession Of States Related To Positive International Law
Authors: Ciugureanu-Mihailuță Carolina
Published: July 2024

Nowadays, secession, seen as a peaceful or violent process by which a part of the territory of an existing state breaks away from that state, seems to be a tendency of a global nature. The legal discussion regarding Kosovo's declaration of independence, as well as the act of "integration" of the Crimean peninsula into the Russian Federation, raises a whole series of questions, starting from the issue of the legality of secession, the process of state formation, the role international recognition and the extent to which the international community can intervene in such a process, the effectiveness of the present UN system. This article will be limited to the examination of some theoretical and practical aspects of secession, by reference to positive international law.
Interrogating The Politics Of Anonymity Among The Writers Of Detective Fiction : A Study
Authors: Chakraborty Rituparna
Published: July 2024

If we go through the Bengali detective fictions which are greatly inspired by Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes's stories, we can notice an interesting fact. Stories like ''HarimotirHatyakando'', ''OdbhutHatyakari'', ''Sindhuker lash'', ''Jal Raja'' etc. have been published anonymously (SekalerGoyendaGolpo, ed. by Arindam Dasgupta) There is a possibility that these stories are written by women writers and like many women writers and artists they could not expose their name, which was a common picture of Victorian age in our country and also in Europe. The Bronte Sisters, Mary Anne Evans and many of the women novelists had to use pen names to pursue their creative genius. This problem has been addressed by Gilbert and Gubar in their work The Mad woman in the Attic" as "Anxiety of Authorship". I think the anonymity of the above mentioned detective fictions calls for a thorough research. Who are these anonymous writers? Can this identification open a new room or Bengali women writers? This paper would try to address these questions.
Aspectual Features of Some Circumstantial Clauses in Italian Translation (Based on a Corpus of Works by Georgi Gоspоdinov
Authors: Davidova Dessislava
Published: July 2024

The article takes a cursory look at the translation from Bulgarian to Italian of some types of circumstantial sentences, where a difference in type is observed. The translation of perfective or imperfective constructions is a challenge for both the translator and the learners of the Italian language, since the ways of expressing the verb form in Italian are different from those in Bulgarian. In the Bulgarian language, the type is expressed through morphological indicators, while the Italian language shows the type through the verb tenses and the opposition between them. The analysis of the corpus of examples shows the type difference between original and translation, where some kind of modality is also present, and that these type differences do not significantly affect the overall meaning of the examples under consideration.
The Acquisition of Slavic as a Foreign Language as a Condition for Successful Integration of Refugees (On the Situation of Ukrainian Medics in the Czech Republic
Authors: Krejcova, Elena , Stalyanova Nadezhda , Bojanovska Tereza
Published: July 2024

The aim of this paper is to present the problems of second language acquisition (Slavic by Slavs) in a specific socio-political context. The text deals with the situation of Ukrainian refugees, medics who need to master Czech in order to take a professional qualification exam, and are placed in a specific psycholinguistic situation - they need to quickly acquire both the basics of the second language from the elementary level of training, and specialized medical terminology, usually in a very limited timeframe. In this study, we point out some types of typical mistakes made by Ukrainian medics learning mainly specialized (medical) Czech. The results of such an analysis provide an opportunity to classify the errors, highlight the typical characteristics of Czech in the Slavic comparative context through the prism of language learning, and from a methodological point of view, which can indicate some of the most common places requiring additional and detailed attention in the learning process, especially for a specific group of students with specific goals within their studies.
The Discourse on Ethical Veganism as a Model for Identity Construction
Authors: Petrova Silvia
Published: July 2024

The text explores the ethical components of identity formation in the modern era through popular food practices. The focus of interest is veganism as a model of identity based on (the claim to) an ethical stance towards others and the world. The ways in which food today can act as a substitute for various causes are examined. In the context of contemporary culture, veganism can be interpreted between the poles of moral imperative, the concern for the health and longevity of one’s own body, and the hedonistic promise of enjoyment of food and of life itself. The methodological approach involves a review and critical reflection on the ethical component of identity construction through the prism of nutrition in contemporary culture, as well as an exploration of the manifestations of ethical veganism in specific contexts (e.g. in the debates surrounding the production and consumption of in vitro meat).
Knowledge Sharing Barriers in Bulgarian Companies – an Empirical Study
Authors: Varamezov Lyubcho
Published: July 2024

Knowledge sharing, although a key process for achieving business success and competitive advantage, does not always run smoothly. A number of factors, also called knowledge sharing barriers, hinder this process. They are extremely diverse and sometimes hard to find. The manifestation of knowledge sharing barriers is highly dependent on the context and in each organisation they manifest in a different way depending on the individual characteristics of the employees, the organisational structure and culture, the relevance and adequacy of the information and communication technologies used, etc. They cannot be completely overcome or eliminated, but their negative impact on knowledge sharing can be mitigated or minimised. The aim of the present study is to identify and rank knowledge sharing barriers in Bulgarian companies based on a literature review and conducting an empirical study. The research revealed three main barriers to knowledge sharing – lack of time, inadequate organisational culture and lack of trust. At the same time, some of the most frequently discussed barriers to knowledge sharing in the literature were not highly rated by respondents. The results of the research can serve business management as a guide in building a knowledge management system and an environment in which people will be able to freely share their knowledge.

Security challenges, ranging from fraud to cyberattacks, are examined, with region-specific vulnerabilities and countermeasures discussed. Recommendations for enhancing system security and adoption are provided, underscoring the role of regulatory frameworks, technological advancements, and consumer education. The paper concludes with suggestions for future research directions, emphasizing the need for ongoing innovation and policy development in the mobile banking ecosystem.
Özbekistan’da Siyasi Partiler
Authors: Yazici Sinan
Published: July 2024

Siyasi partiler, günümüz toplumlarının siyasi hayatlarını şekillendiren kurumlardır. Aynı zamanda ülkelerde siyasi iradenin oluşumuna ve gelişimine yön verme hususunda siyasi katılım ve karar alma sürecini etkileme ve siyasi iktidarı kullanmada mühim bir role sahiptirler. Özbekistan’da da siyasi partiler, diğer demokrasi ile yönetilen ülkeler gibi, siyasal hayatın önemli bir unsuru olarak ülke siyasetinde önemli bir yere sahiptir. Bu çalışma 1991 yılında bağımsız bir devlet olan Özbekistan’da kurulan siyasi partileri incelemiştir. Çalışmada veriler Türkçe, Özbekçe ve İngilizce yayınlar ve internet sitelerinde yapılan incelemeler sonucunda elde edilmiştir. Kerimov yönetimi, seküler bir anlayış çerçevesinde çok partili sistemin hâkim olduğu demokratik bir rejimi öngörmüştür. Ancak bu rejime aşamalı bir geçiş anlayışını benimsemiştir. Ülkenin siyasi yapısı, yürütme organının güçlü olduğu ve bu kuvvetin de başkanda toplandığı bir sistemden 2023 yılında yapılan Anayasa referandumu ile birlikte yarı başkanlık sistemine dönüşmüştür. Siyasi yapısı oldukça merkezi bir şekilde inşa edilen ülkede siyasi hayat da buna göre şekillenmiştir. Ülkenin enimsemiş olduğu seküler anlayış çerçevesinde ülke bütünlüğü için tehlikeli olabileceği düşünülen milliyetçi ve dini kimliği öne çıkaran muhalif oluşumlar ve partiler tasfiye edilmiştir. Demokrasinin gereği olan çok partili hayata kontrollü bir şekilde geçiş sağlanmıştır.

Published: July 2024

The hydrology and climate of mid to high-latitude mountainous areas are significantly impacted by snow cover. Since adding or removing snow cover significantly impacts the snowpack’s capacity to operate as a reservoir for water storage, the snowfall-dominated basins of mid- to higher latitudes are anticipated to see the largest shifts in the hydrological cycle because of global warming. By moving the time slider in the historical imagery feature of Google Earth Pro, the Upper Indus Basin study area was examined from the years 1984 to 2020 to track changes in the snow cover. All observations were made with longitude and latitude at 35o, 34', 51.79" N and 74o, 34', 24.21" E, and the eye altitude at 344.46 miles. Google Earth captured pictures of all the observations on December 31st of every year. The data from 1984 to 2020 was examined keenly, and it was observed that as time goes on, global warming is showing its effects and producing climate changes, which has a negative impact on the region's snow and glacier availability. The Landsat images make it abundantly evident that the lower areas of the upper Indus Basin's snow cover are more negatively impacted than the downstream side areas due to the variation in altitude. The authors also referred to the research work by other researchers in the study to compare with their work. The study observed that some areas were utterly showing no snow in 2020 as compared to 1984 as time moved on with an increase in global warming in 36 years.
The Impact of Reading on Children’s Cognitive and Language Development
Authors: Škarić Hana , Salhab Maaherah
Published: July 2024

Literature has always been regarded as one of the best methods available that can positively influence the development of young preschool and kindergarten children, but also older school kids. However, in order for it to make a significant impact, we need to make sure that the content that is being read is appropriate for the age of the children we are reading to. If young children are exposed to adult literature or such that they cannot understand at their language level, it does not help their language improvement and development. In order for literature to make a full impact on both language and cognitive development, we need to use appropriate materials to reach satisfying results, in this case, genres which have been specifically crafted for the language level of the targeted audience. The aim of this paper was to explore the impact of reading to children (specifically literature designed for their language level) by doing a replication study based on the paper done by Fekonja et al. (2007), analyse the results and compare the two classes on a language measurement scale in order to see the impact of literature on language development. The results showed a significant difference in language development between the two groups, favouring the experimental group, which reinforces the importance of incorporating systematic reading of children’s literature into educational practices.

Authors: Sujito Sujito , Dwi Mardika Ainur Rohmatika , Nugroho Zory Satrio
Published: July 2024

Setiap tahun jumlah mahasiswa selalu bertambah, hal ini mendorong pembangunan gedung baru atau melakukan perluasan gedung lama. Pada tahun 2017 Gedung G4 Jurusan Teknik Elektro menambah luas bangunan tersebut. Maka kebutuhan akan energi listrik pada Gedung G4 bertambah dan kapasitas daya listrik di gedung tersebut harus ditingkatkan. Peningkatan permintaan yang tidak proporsional dibandingkan dengan peningkatan pasokannya, hal ini menyebabkan menipisnya sumber energi tersebut, terutama untuk produksi listrik.  Oleh karena itu program konservasi energi yang telah diatur di Peraturan Pemerintah No. 70 Tahun 2009 harus dilakukan. Konservasi energi adalah peningkatan efisiensi energi atau proses penghematan energi, proses ini meliputi audit energi. Audit energi merupakan suatu teknik untuk menghitung besarnya konsumsi energi listrik dan digunakan juga sebagai solusi bagaimana cara penghematannya. Untuk menghitung audit energi digunakan metode IKE. IKE adalah perbandingan antara konsumsi energi dengan satuan luas bangunan gedung. Berdasarkan analisa yang dilakukan, nilai perhitungan IKE Gedung G4 pertahun dalam dua kategori, pertama yaitu kategori gedung ber-AC mempunyai nilai 70,36 kWh/m2/tahun, kedua yaitu kategori gedung tidak ber-AC mempunyai nilai 22,77 kWh/m2/tahun. Nilai IKE tersebut termasuk dalam kategori sangat efisien. Karena nilai IKE yang sangat efisien maka perlu dilakukan pengukuran intensitas cahaya lampu dan kebutuhan energi AC untuk memenui standar yang telah ditentukan. Diketahui bahwa intensitas cahaya lampu dan kebutuhan energi AC di Gedung G4 Universitas Negeri Malang belum memenuhi standar.
OPTIMIZED CONTROL OF THE PHYSICAL BATTERY SYSTEM
Authors: Van De Pham
Published: July 2024

Today, a significant issue for many nations worldwide is a shortage of energy. Renewable energy sources, particularly solar energy, are being investigated as additional energy sources to address the aforementioned issue. The high investment cost and poor performance of solar energy, however, provide the biggest challenge. This study only addresses the power optimization problem. It is suggested that the method used to determine the solar system's maximum power point modify incremental conductance. Adapted Incremental Conductance algorithm based on Incremental Conductance conventional techniques. The Modified Incremental Conductance method, however, has several exceptional advantages since it has a voltage change (V) that is not constant but fluctuates in an ideal manner to achieve the maximum power point as soon as possible. The voltage V is greater away from the peak power point while it is zero at the peak power point. Modified incremental conductivity algorithm to find peak power point faster than traditional algorithms. With maximum power point change reducing ambient power loss at the highest powers point. This helps to optimize voltage difference value.

A prevenção da sífilis gestacional é crucial para a saúde materno-infantil devido ao aumento da incidência e suas graves consequências, como parto prematuro, natimortalidade e infecções neonatais severas. Este artigo revisa estratégias preventivas para a sífilis gestacional, abordando desafios e avanços recentes, fornecendo uma base para profissionais de saúde, pesquisadores e formuladores de políticas desenvolverem métodos eficazes de combate a esta condição. A revisão da literatura avaliou a eficácia de abordagens preventivas, como o rastreamento universal durante o pré-natal e o tratamento imediato dos casos identificados, ambos eficazes na redução da transmissão vertical da doença. Contudo, desafios como o acesso inadequado aos serviços de saúde e o estigma associado às doenças sexualmente transmissíveis representam barreiras significativas. Estratégias para melhorar o acesso e a adesão aos programas de tratamento incluem a capacitação e educação dos profissionais de saúde e o engajamento das comunidades, promovendo a inclusão do rastreamento e tratamento da sífilis gestacional no cuidado pré-natal padrão. Futuras pesquisas devem focar no desenvolvimento de políticas de saúde pública mais integradas e na implementação de tecnologias inovadoras para aprimorar os processos de diagnóstico e tratamento, visando uma abordagem mais holística e eficiente na prevenção da sífilis gestacional. A análise das estratégias preventivas para a sífilis gestacional, abordando desafios contemporâneos e avanços recentes, oferece uma base sólida para que profissionais de saúde, pesquisadores e formuladores de políticas desenvolvam métodos eficazes de combate a esta condição, além de fomentar a inclusão do rastreamento e tratamento da sífilis gestacional como componentes essenciais do cuidado pré-natal.

Published: July 2024

Neste trabalho, será discutida a análise dinâmica de duas passarelas a serem instaladas junto à estação Santo Amaro do metrô de São Paulo, as Passarela Norte e Passarela Sul, ambas com 111 metros de vão. Em especial, será estudado o Estado Limite de Serviço (E.L.S.) de vibrações excessivas excitadas pelo movimento de pedestres nas direções vertical e lateral. Na primeira parte deste trabalho serão apresentados os conceitos necessários para o desenvolvimento do mesmo. Posteriormente será apresentado o modelo utilizado assim como seus resultados, soluções e conclusão. A estrutura foi modelada utilizando o software de análise estrutural STRAP. Os perfis utilizados foram fornecidos pelos autores dos projetos arquitetônico e estrutural, sendo típicos dessas estruturas. A literatura sobre passarelas fornece um modelo determinístico para o carregamento dinâmico devido ao caminhar das pessoas. Quando a frequência natural da estrutura é próxima do caminhar das pessoas pode gerar um desconforto muito elevado e até mesmo a sensação de falta de segurança. Além disso, pode diminuir a vida útil da estrutura devido a fadiga do material, sendo necessário uma maior manutenção. O processamento sugere a presença de acelerações acima do desejado ou previsto por diversas normas internacionais sobre o tema. Para mitigação das mesmas, é proposto controle passivo por Absorvedores de Vibrações (TMD’s), para vibrações verticais e laterais.
“It's All About the U”
Authors: Aguilar Kate
Published: July 2024

Long before Colin Kaepernick kneeled and after Tommie Smith and John Carlos raised their fists, University of Miami football players revolted against the white establishment and brought national attention to Black Miami. This analysis considers how “the U,” the first predominantly Black program outside of HBCUs challenged blue-blood programs in both a demographic sense and through a style of play antithetical to the political and cultural aims of the Reagan narrative. It broadens traditional understandings of the revolt of the Black athlete beyond the 1960s and 1970s and argues that, historically, Miami boosterism erased Black contributions to the city that the 1980s Black football players’ hypervisibility and hip-hop aesthetic confronted and exposed.
“Our Life Out of the Dungeon”
Authors: Rahim Raja Malikah
Published: July 2024

“Our Life Out of the Dungeon” examines the life and career of Robert L. Vaughan, the legendary and longtime head basketball coach at Elizabeth City State University, an Historically Black University, and explores the racial and cultural politics of Black college basketball in the twentieth-century United States. Using oral history and Vaughan's words, this article moves Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Black college basketball to the forefront of African American history and sport history, providing a window onto the world of college basketball that existed on the other side of the color line and in the decades after segregation. African Americans at HBCUs revolutionized basketball and transformed the sport into a cultural staple that shaped Black people, communities, and institutions. Through Vaughan's words and experiences, we can understand the struggles and successes and the political and cultural language of Black college basketball within the context of what I call the “politics of Black athletic emancipation”—a Black athletic agenda that stood in opposition to racism and white supremacy and reverberated the ethos of self-determination and collective striving of African Americans who demanded the right to be free and the right to play basketball.

This book is the result of the First Ukulele International Conference (UIC 2021) – Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Performance, Composition, and Organology (December 3-4, 2021), the first academic event ever dedicated to the instrument. The edited volume collects selected essays and contributions by authors with different (or with multiple) professional backgrounds: researchers in the ukulele’s cultural history, musicologists with scholarship in performance and instrumentality issues, composers (or composer-performers) of music for ukulele, performers engaged in scholarly research and in popularizing the instrument, and professionals involved in the technological innovation of the instrument. The purpose of this book is to provide a sample of possible questions related to the instrument, with the awareness that many others may only be fully formulated in future research. In addition to the general tenet of interdisciplinarity—crucial for addressing an instrument endowed with such high and intrinsic "plasticity"—the book presents a further challenge: extending research on the ukulele to research with the ukulele, namely understanding it as an instrument (in a more etymological sense), a scientific tool to investigate different topics in music-making.

Metformin is a medicine that is used to treat type 2 diabetes and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). This study investigated the effects of exposing the sailfin molly fish to sub-lethal concentrations of 0.008 mol.L-1 of metformin. The results showed that metformin caused disturbances in the endocrine glands, especially the pituitary hormones (GTHs). Metformin increased the expression of the Fshb and inhibited the Lhb genes in the pituitary gland, which led to higher levels of FSH and lower levels of LH hormones in the blood of fish. These hormonal changes led to irregularities in the ovarian development of female fish, such as an increase in the first stage of primary eggs and a delay in the final stage of embryo production.
Európaizáció a közigazgatási eljárásjogban

A nemzeti közigazgatási jog, a nemzeti közigazgatási eljárásjog fejlődése, változása nem elszigetelt az uniós jog fejlődésétől, változásától. E változások folyamatként, tendenciaként való értelmezése lehetővé teszi, hogy szakaszokra tagoljuk az eddigi jogfejlődést és következtetéseket vonjunk le. Mára elmondható, hogy a nemzeti közigazgatási eljárásjogok harmonizációja összefoglalható az európaizáció fogalmával. Az európaizáció így a tagállami közigazgatási eljárásjogok közös fejlődésének eddigi eredménye, de egyúttal e tendenciának – minden bizonnyal – a jelenlegi állomása, de nem végállomása. Tanulmányunk ennek a jelenségnek az okaival, jellemzőivel és várható hatásaival foglalkozik.
Instrument recognition in unprocessed musical audio through transformer-based modeling
Authors: Dai Congren
Published: July 2024

This study focuses on identifying primary instruments in musical audio using an adapted Wav2Vec 2.0 model, initially intended for extracting speech features from raw audio. Modifications to the model's convolutional layers and transformer element were made to facilitate the recognition of instruments in complex audio mixes. The task of instrument recognition is approached as a multi-labelled classification problem. The effectiveness of the model is measured through accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and analysis via a confusion matrix. Key findings reveal the model's differential efficiency in recognising various instruments, with notable success in detecting violins, pianos, saxophones, and human voices. However, the model encounters difficulties in recognising instruments with a narrower dynamic range or lower volume, like the organ that may provide harmonic support, and those with scarce representation, such as the cello and clarinet. The research also indicates that while pre-separation of certain instruments like guitars may enhance recognition, it may not be necessary for others.
Գրիգոր Լուսավորչի և Սեղբեստրոս Առաջին պապի «հանդիպման» պատկերներն արվեստում

Легенда о встрече армянского царя Тиридата Третьего и святого Григория Просветителя с римским императором Константином Первым и папой Сильвестром Первым является неотъемлемой частью армяно-римской истории. На протяжении веков она обогащалась различными деталями, освятилась и была окончательно сформирована в киликийский период в «Грамоте о дружбе и согласии». Эта встреча, часто являлась предметом сомнений и многочисленных исследований, также была изображена в различных произведениях искусства, включая миниатюры, настенные росписи, гравюры и иконы. Художественный анализ и сравнение восьми изображений святого Григория и папы Сильвестра Первого выявляют их иконографическую общность и художественные особенности.
The legend of the meeting of the King Tiridates III of Armenia, St. Gregory the Illuminator, Roman Emperor Constantine I, and Pope Sylvester I is an integral part of Armenian–Roman history. Over the centuries, it has been enriched with various details, sanctified, and completed during the Cilician period in the «Letter of Love and Concord». This event, often the subject of doubt and extensive studies, has also been depicted in various works of art, including miniatures, wall paintings, engravings, and icon paintings. Artistic analysis and comparison of eight images of St. Gregory and Pope Sylvester the I reveal their iconographic commonality and artistic features.
La phénoménologie du social selon Marc Richir
Authors: Watin-Augouard Jérôme
Published: July 2024

Comment concilier la reconnaissance des identités symboliques – leur diversité et le « déterminisme » qu’elles semblent impliquer – avec notre liberté, et donc la possibilité qu’à travers celle-ci nous puissions « communiquer » ensemble, et partager un « monde » ou un « sens commun » ? Il s’agira d’examiner ce problème à l’aune de la phénoménologie de Marc Richir (1943-2015), et des développements qu’il consacre au symbolique et à sa dimension sociopolitique, en insistant, d’une part, sur la spécificité de la perspective phénoménologique (notamment eu égard à la démarche des sciences sociales) et en montrant, d’autre part, qu’un tel « sens commun » n’est concevable, de ce point de vue, que comme l’universalité indéterminée d’une phénoménalité du social, dont le statut est autant utopique que critique. L’enjeu est de savoir sous quelles conditions concrètes une telle universalité est possible, et d’examiner la manière dont la phénoménologie contemporaine peut contribuer à cette réflexion.
La ville carcérale ou le tombeau de la mémoire : étude des premiers recueils de Abdellatif Laâbi et Tahar Djaout (1960-1980)
Authors: Lotz Camille
Published: July 2024

L’article se propose d’aborder le motif de la carcéralité dans les œuvres poétiques d’Abdellatif Laâbi (Histoire des sept crucifiés de l’espoir) et de Tahar Djaout (Solstice barbelé et L’Arche à vau-l’eau). Si la ville carcérale apparaît comme la métaphore d’un pouvoir autoritaire post-colonial, elle cristallise également l’opposition entre deux types de parole. En effet, alors que l’enfermement et la censure, outils de maintien de l’ordre, cherchent à évacuer tout conflit possible au sein de l’espace public, afin de diffuser une version officielle de l’histoire et de taire les voix contestataires ou les récits alternatifs, la parole poétique, par sa marginalité, porte en elle une forte dimension critique visant à réinscrire du conflit, de l’hétérogénéité, au sein de cet espace. Qu’il s’agisse d’emprunter à la tradition du conte ou d’insuffler au langage une puissance cosmique, le dire poétique échappe aux normes et se présente comme hautement transgressif. Et c’est depuis la marge que peuvent se déployer ces écritures de la révolte.
Assessing the Water Quality of Creek Systems at Caraga State University-Main Campus, Philippines, using Macroinvertebrate-based Biotic Indices

Macroinvertebrates are widely utilized for monitoring water bodies and assessing water quality. In this study, macroinvertebrates were sampled from different gradients (upstream, midstream, and downstream) of four creeks within the main campus of Caraga State University. The study utilized a modified kick-net method to evaluate their species diversity, composition, and richness. A total of 20 taxa of macroinvertebrates from seven orders and 16 families were collected and identified across the subsampling stations. Gastropoda was the most abundant order, making up 65.51% of the total, with representatives from five families. Despite this abundance, the Shannon Diversity Index indicated very low diversity across all creek systems. However, the Pollution Tolerance Index (PTI) and the Biological Monitoring Working Party (BMWP) scores consistently showed good water quality across all subsampling stations. These results align with the Family Biotic Index (FBI) score, which suggests excellent water quality with no apparent organic pollution throughout the creeks. This study highlights the value of family-level identification in biomonitoring programs at CSU and similar environments. This method is cost-effective and practical, particularly in contexts with limited systematic knowledge of macroinvertebrates.
