The lonely giant: An overview of the momentous oeuvre of János Kornai
Authors: Csaba László
Published: March 2023

Far the most acknowledged and influential author in the economics of Eastern Europe has been János Kornai, the theorist of economic systems and a prolific writer on a variety of subjects in the seventy years of his academic career. His output appeared in more than a dozen of languages. He was criticized and appreciated, especially on the occasion of his 90th birthday, commemorated by – yet another – Festschrift, special issues of academic journals, later followed up by countless obituaries paying the due tribute to someone who has never made to the Nobel Prize, but whose influence definitely exceeded that of many recipients. In this essay we avoid the usual chronological description and highlight certain major themes and try to establish his place in the history of global economic thought. We are aware of our constraints, since it would perhaps take a monograph rather than an article to serve justice to this exceptional academic output of his.
Comparative capitalism in central and Eastern Europe – A test of similarity to Western Europe
Authors: Próchniak Mariusz , Rapacki Ryszard , Czerniak Adam , Gardawski Juliusz , Horbaczewska Bożena , Karbowski Adam , Maszczyk Piotr , Towalski Rafał
Published: March 2023

We aimed to enrich the empirical picture and to better understand the nature of post-communist capitalism in the new EU member states in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE11). Our main research goal is to assess the degree of similarity of the institutional architectures in these countries toward each of the four models of capitalism in Western Europe distinguished by Bruno Amable (2003), represented in our research by one Western European country being the most typical empirical approximation of a particular ‘ideal-typical’ model. The study is based on the application of a new method designed for the purpose of our research, the coefficients of similarity. Our empirical exercise shows that the CEE11 countries exhibited on average the greatest relative similarity to the Mediterranean model of capitalism, represented by Spain and Italy. At the same time, they also displayed a considerable institutional proximity to the Continental model of capitalism, represented by Germany, and – to a lesser extent – to two remaining benchmarks. These findings may be generalized as the prevalence of a polycentric pattern of institutional similarity of the CEE11 economies to the established models of Western European capitalism which makes the emerging post-communist capitalism a distinct research category and adds to its patchwork nature.
Analysis of the inflationary redistribution of consumption and wealth, evidence from Hungary
Authors: Sipiczki Zoltán , Parádi Dolgos Anett , Varga József
Published: March 2023

Fluctuating prices can cause unintended redistribution of income and wealth, which may be particularly painful to lower income households. Our study examines the indirect effects of this redistribution in an empirical way: it focuses on the capital market distortions of inflation and the disparities in wealth and income. Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures average inflation. However, households feel different inflation rates because their expenditure patterns are different from the ‘average’ patterns. We used the Kruskal – Wallis H test to determine if there are statistically significant differences between low- and high-income households. We calculated alternative inflation rates based on income deciles' different consumption basket. The study finds that households with low income often feel higher inflation than in the actual price indices published by the statistical offices. As our research shows, individuals in different wealth deciles perceive significantly different inflation. Our results also provide important information for economic policymakers, because if social groups perceive different inflation, it modifies the expected behaviour of the population, thereby weakening the economic policy effectiveness of different decisions.
Import intensities of final demand components and their implications for economic openness: The case of the Czech Republic
Authors: Pikhart Zdeněk , Pikhartová Šárka
Published: March 2023

The article deals with the estimation of import intensities of exports, final consumption expenditures and gross fixed capital formation. It uses the input-output methodology of computing direct and indirect imports to the final demand components, which compares with regression estimates. Unlike the widely used turnover approach, the results contribute fundamentally to knowledge about the genuine openness of the Czech economy with regard to how much value-added is exported. In 2015, the highest import intensity for exports amounting to 52%, closely followed by 49% for investments. Household consumption worked with 41% import intensity, while general government consumption expenditures showed the lowest import intensity of 16%. Based on our input-output findings, the true openness of the Czech economy can be revealed. While turnover of exports to GDP reached 80% in 2019, the value-added approach showed only a half, i.e., 40% value-added was exported. It implies a contra-intuitive conclusion that even in a relatively small and highly integrated country into the globalized economy, there is a 60% majority of the non-tradeable goods.
The importance of somatic cell count in dairy technology
Authors:   Near East University, Faculty of Veterinary, Medicine Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Nicosia, Cyprus, Darbaz Isfendiyar
Published: March 2023

Mastitis is an important infection that affects herd health, udder health and milk yield of individual animals. Somatic cells (SCs) naturally present in milk are used as an indicator of subclinical mastitis, but also to assess milk quality and safety. Somatic cell count is the main monitoring variable used in milk quality and safety assessment. This review especially focuses on the effect of SCs on milk as food and also their effect on the dairy technology. The most significant effect of SCC on dairy technology is provided by the enzymes released from these cells. Alternatively, a limited number of conclusions were reported that SCs may assist dairy technology. SCs pass to milk and continue inhibitory effect on bacteria.
Antioxidant potential of milk obtained from Holstein-Friesian cows with regard to the subsequent lactations and stage of lactation
Authors:   University of Life Sciences in Lublin, Faculty of Animal Sciences and Bioeconomy, Department of Quality Assessment and Processing of Animal Products, Akademicka 13, 20-950 Lublin, Poland, Stobiecka Magdalena
Published: March 2023

The aim of the research was to assess the content of components showing antioxidant activity in the milk of Holstein-Friesian cows and changes in the total antioxidant status during subsequent lactations and their stages. The material for analysis consisted of milk collected from 90 cows (30 for each analysed lactation number: I - primaparous; II - multiparous in second lactation; III - multiparous in third lactation) during three periods: 1 - up to 100 days of lactation, 2 - 101-200 days of lactation, and 3 - 201-305 days of lactation. The basic chemical composition, casein content, somatic cell counts, selected whey proteins and fat-soluble vitamins were determined in the milk. The total antioxidant status (TAS) of milk was also measured. With the subsequent lactation, the content of components with antioxidant properties, i.e. vitamins A and E, and albumins (α-lactalbumin and β-lactoglobulin), decreased significantly (p≤0.01). Simultaneously, a decrease in the level of TAS in milk was noted. The lactation phase had a minor effect on the antioxidant potential of milk. The obtained high correlation coefficients between the value of the TAS and the content of vitamins A, E and β-lactoglobulin indicate that the content of these compounds largely determines the antioxidant potential of milk. On the other hand, the obtained negative correlations between the level of antioxidant potential and the daily milk yield (r = -0.347, p≤0.05) suggest that the high productivity of cows negatively affects the antioxidant value of milk.
Effect of chia (Salvia hispanica L.) seed mucilage powder on some physicochemical and rheological properties of ayran drinks
Authors:   Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University, Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, Food Engineering Department, TR-15030 Istiklal Campus, Burdur, Turkey, Buse Tas Elif
Published: March 2023

In this study, chia seed mucilage powder (MP) was added into ayran drinks at different ratios (0.05, 0.10 and 0.15%, w/v), and its effect on physicochemical, rheological, microbiological and sensory properties of ayran drinks was determined during 10 days of storage at 4±1 °C. MP addition did not influence their major chemical composition significantly (p>0.05). Increasing MP ratio in drinks decreased the colour L* values of drinks while increasing their colour a* and b* values. Addition of 0.05, 0.10 and 0.15% MP reduced serum separation values of drinks by 25, 67 and 83%, respectively. The apparent viscosity value of control samples was 103.20 cP and increased to 134.25, 185.35 and 223.38 cP in ayran drinks with 0.05, 0.10 and 0.15% MP, respectively. The obtained results indicated that chia seed MP up to 0.05% can be used in ayran drink production to reduce serum separation and improve viscosity without any adverse effect on sensory liking scores.
Volatile profile, textural and sensory properties of Diyarbakır Örgü cheese produced from sheep and cow milk of different ripening time
Authors:   Mardin Artuklu University, Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, 47200 Mardin, Türkiye, Hatipoğlu Abdulkerim
Published: March 2023

Diyarbakır Örgü (knitted) cheese (DOC) is a semi-fat, hard, and a pasta-filata type cheese. The objective of this study was to evaluate volatile organic compounds (VOC), and textural and sensory properties of DOC during the 120-day maturation period. For this purpose, a total of 5 different cheeses were produced as 100% sheep’s milk (C1), 100% cow’s milk (C2), 90% sheep’s milk + 10% cow’s milk (C3), 80% sheep’s milk + 20% cow’s milk (C4), and 70% sheep’s milk + 30% cow’s milk (C5). During the ripening, a total of 31 compounds, including esters (9), alcohols (5), acids (5), ketones (5), aldehydes (4), and miscellaneous (3), were identified in all cheese samples. Volatile compounds increased, both qualitatively and quantitatively, along with the increase of the percentage of sheep milk used in the cheese production increased. At the beginning of ripening, the total amount of VOC in the DOC obtained from sheep’s milk was 3.27-fold greater than that of the produced cow’s milk, while this ratio increased to 4.57 at the end of ripening. The total VOC contents of all the DOC reduced along the ripening and decreased by 53.37, 64.92, 15.53, 51.81, and 64.84% for C1, C2, C3, C4, and C5, respectively. As the amount of cow's milk used in DOC production increased, the values of all textural properties (hardness, adhesiveness, springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness) of the cheese increased too. On the other hand, these values decreased with the maturation (p<0.05). The rates of decrease in hardness (N), adhesiveness (N.s), springiness (cm), cohesiveness, gumminess (N), and chewiness (mJ) values of the cheese groups with the storage were C1>C3>C2>C4>C5, C4>C1>C5>C2>C3, C2>C1>C3>C4>C5, C3>C2>C1>C5>C4, C1>C4>C3>C2>C5 and C3>C4>C1>C5>C2, respectively. In terms of sensory properties (colour, texture and, taste-aroma) of the cheese mature C2, mature C1 and 30-day ripened C1 cheese samples were preferred more, respectively.
The Impact of Market Liquidity on the Effectiveness of Option Valuation with the Black-Scholes-Merton Model Using the Example of the WIG20 Index
Authors: Prymon Michał
Published: March 2023

The Black-Scholes-Merton model is one of the most popular option pricing models used in market practice. This model is based on unrealistic assumptions, including the lack of transaction costs. While it is not possible to satisfy all the conditions of the model, it is logical to assume that perfectly liquid markets will meet them better, which will help to reduce the risk of error. The aim of the article was to measure the impact of liquidity to the divergence of the Black-Scholes-Merton model compared to real market closing prices. The result of the research demonstrates a moderate dependence between the volume of the WIG20 index, the volume of option transactions and a negative correlation with the ILLIQ illiquidity indicator introduced by Amihud (2002). The research led to the conclusion that there is a positive correlation between the liquidity and the divergence between BSM model and the market prices.
EFEITOS DAS INTERVENÇÕES VERBAIS REALIZADAS PELO TREINADOR DURANTE JOGOS REDUZIDOS SOBRE O DESEMPENHO TÁTICO DE JOVENS JOGADORES DE FUTEBOL
Authors: Garozzi Gabriel , Gonçalves Luiz Guilherme , Leonardo Lucas , Costa Raul Victor da , Machado João Claudio , Aquino Rodrigo
Published: March 2023

O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar os efeitos das intervenções verbais realizadas pelo treinador sobre o desempenho tático de jovens jogadores de futebol. Participaram deste estudo 24 jogadores da categoria sub-13 e um treinador, com mais de 10 anos de experiência. Os jogadores foram submetidos a duas condições: experimental (jogos reduzidos com intervenção verbal) e controle (jogos reduzidos sem intervenção verbal). Os jogadores, em ambas as condições, realizaram jogos reduzidos no formato Goleiro+3 vs. 3+Goleiro, com duração de 4 minutos. O desempenho tático foi analisado por meio do Sistema de Avaliação Tática no Futebol (FUT-SAT), considerando os 10 princípios táticos fundamentais. A categorização das intervenções verbais realizadas pelo treinador foi realizada por meio da análise de conteúdo. Os resultados mostram que as intervenções verbais utilizadas (~90% instrutivos/diretos) influenciaram positivamente no desempenho tático defensivo, porém, exerceram impacto negativo no desempenho tático ofensivo. Conclui-se que intervenções verbais do treinador podem se constituir ferramentas pedagógicas importantes para orientar o desempenho tático de jovens jogadores. Contudo, a predominância de instruções diretas pode comprometer o desempenho tático ofensivo durante jogos reduzidos em jovens jogadores. Os treinadores, portanto, devem refletir sobre como e de que forma se comunicar com seus jogadores, na tentativa de promover um ambiente de aprendizagem mais representativo.
SOCIEDADE E EDUCAÇÃO SEXUAL: INFLUÊNCIAS DO CONSERVADORISMO POLÍTICO-RELIGIOSO NOS DOCUMENTOS NORTEADORES DO ENSINO BÁSICO BRASILEIRO
Authors: Silva Paloma de Oliveira , Silva Breendo Holanda Pereira da , Ribeiro Rayane Brandão , Paulini Fernada
Published: March 2023

Este trabalho teve como fundamento a influência do conservadorismo na educação sexual para crianças e adolescentes nas escolas de ensino básico no Brasil. É notório que não existe uma legislação que regulamenta a inserção da educação sexual nas escolas brasileiras, porém existem documentos norteadores que regem as práticas docentes acerca desse tema. No entanto, esses documentos foram protegidos pela onda conservadora que consumiram o país em 2015, promovidos por grupos conservadores de direita e evangélicos, que ganharam força com a eleição do ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro. A pesquisa identificou a influência do conservadorismo em relação aos temas de liberdade sexual, tolerantemente transmissíveis e gravidez na adolescência.Foi realizada uma análise bibliográfica em documentos oficiais da educação, como a Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC), o Plano Nacional de Educação (PNE) e os Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (PCN). O estudo permitiu das perspectivas morais destacoudas nestes documentos, pautada pela literatura e fatos documentais, e análises que ressaltaram um retrocesso nos parâmetros curriculares nacionais, que tratam de um assunto tão urgente e inerente ao ser humano, a sexualidade.

Published: March 2023

As intervenções na parentalidade em prol da promoção da saúde mental infantil são eficazes para habilitar os pais a lidar com os desafios de comportamento dos filhos. Este estudo teve por objetivo compreender os sentidos da parentalidade sob o olhar de pais no cuidado à saúde mental na primeira infância, propondo intervenções mediadas pela Biblioterapia. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de abordagem mista realizada por meio da entrevista semiestruturada e do grupo focal biblioterapêutico. Constatou-se que a capacidade de mudança na mentalidade e no comportamento dos pais tem implicações no desenvolvimento da criança, a partir da compreensão dos significados atribuídos por eles aos comportamentos dos filhos. A prática de metaparentagem, construto que significa o aprimoramento da competência parental, redução do estresse e adoção de práticas educativas positivas, é efetiva no exercício da parentalidade promotora de saúde mental. E, favorece relacionamentos contínuos entre pais e filhos e interações sociais duradouras oportunizando o desenvolvimento psíquico, cognitivo, comportamental e emocional de seus filhos. Os pais que tiverem acesso às intervenções na parentalidade que incentivem o autoconhecimento (pensamentos com consciência) e a aprendizagem (cognição social) podem gerar transformações significativas provocadas pela mudança de comportamento e cuidado de si modificando o ambiente e contexto social em que a criança estiver inserida.

Planning Full-Size Life Careers
Authors: Imhof Arthur E.
Published: March 2023

Until recently, human life spans were very unreliable. Our ancestors counterbalanced
this insecurity by pursuing various non-egocentered strategies. With the life span's increasing length and standardization, these became obsolete and were abandoned. Today, almost all of us have the chance of living life to its maturity. In order to make full use of it, however, we must plan full-size life careers from a very early stage. Otherwise the years gained will largely be wasted.
The article starts by summarizing demographic development over the last three
centuries. These "hard facts" are then correlated with evidence from other
sources, for example from fairy tales and sayings. Finally, recent developments in
Japan, the country with the highest life expectancy in the world today, are discussed.
Decline of Witches and Rise of Vampires in 18th Century Habsburg Monarchy
Authors: Klaniczay Gábor
Published: March 2023

Witch persecutions in Hungary had to be ended "from above" by the enlightened
measures of queen Maria Theresa, in the second half of the 18th century. How
did this important change in judicial procedures and in the wider mentality occur?
My article tries to investigate this problem on different levels. First I trace
the work of Maria Theresa's court doctor, Gerard van Swieten, and the impact of
North Italian enlightened thinkers and the Dutch sceptic tradition upon his
campaign against superstitions, and upon a rationalistic worldview to be spread
by absolutistic measures. Then, departing from the occurrence that the whole
campaign, stopping witch-hunting in the Habsburg Monarchy, has started with
some measures provoked by a new style magical being, the vampire, l try to raise
the question whether the appearance and the apparent success of vampires in the
early 18th century did not contribute to the decline of witch-belief in the same
region. I examine how vampires at the same time made more sense to 18th
century rationalist, medical and religious mentality and provoked a scandal,
undermining the whole magical universe. I compare this change, occurring from
the inner contradictions of the popular magical universe, to the similar effects of
magical neoplatonism in 16th century England, and of possession scandals in
17th century France, both hastening the emergence of scepticism in the older
style witch-beliefs. Finally, I try to point to two ways, in which the later 18th
century transformed the vampire belief, once popular all over Europe: to transpose
it to a social metaphor of bloodsuckers, or to sexualize this kind of magical
aggression, paving the way for the 19th century invention of Dracula.

Este libro titulado Transhumanismo y realidades paralelas. Interpelaciones desde la filosofía y la teología es el resultado de un análisis interdisciplinario de autores e investigadores reconocidos en el campo de la Filosofía y la Teología de la Universidad Politécnica Salesiana de Ecuador y la Pontificia Universidad Javeriana de Colombia. El libro establece un diálogo entre la filosofía, la teología y la religión con la tecnociencia. Se trata de un conjunto de seis capítulos que realizan un diálogo interdisciplinar pero desglosado desde temas específicos. Es un trabajo bien analizado, claro, coherente y con unidad argumentativa que responde a las situaciones de nuestros tiempos. El hilo conductor más visible a lo largo del desarrollo del libro tiene que ver con las tensiones que genera para el humanismo las apuestas de la tecnociencia actual.
Documenter les variations du français pour mieux promouvoir l’enseignement de la norme en Afrique
Authors: HUMBERT Philippe
Published: March 2023

Selon l’Organisation internationale de la Francophonie (OIF), il existe 321 millions de francophones dans le monde. Ce chiffre n’est pas uniquement diffusé à l’occasion de conférences de presses, mais il est recalculé tous les quatre ans par l’Observatoire de la langue française (ci-après l’Observatoire) qui publie La langue française dans le monde. Dans cet ouvrage à caractère encyclopédique, hormis de nombreuses statistiques sur la langue française, on y apprend qu’il existe de nombreuses « variétés de français » dont l’OIF fait généralement l’éloge dans ses discours célébrant la diversité linguistique et culturelle. Mais en lisant bien les publications de l’Observatoire, on s’aperçoit que certaines variétés de français sont aussi perçues comme une menace potentielle sur l’intercompréhension, surtout sur le continent africain, où les pratiques des locutrices et locuteurs divergeraient parfois radicalement d’une norme standard. L’Observatoire appuie ses analyses en citant des études et débats de sociolinguistes. L’objectif de cette contribution est d’analyser les discours visant à produire du savoir sur la variation linguistique du français et de chercher à comprendre comment ils s’articulent à des projets de politiques éducatives. En analysant le processus d’entextualisation (Park - Bucholtz, 2009) de la variation à travers quatre éditions de La langue française dans le monde (2010-2022), c’est-à-dire en observant ce que l’Observatoire retient des discours extraits d’études et discussions sociolinguistiques qu’il cite et réinterprète, cette contribution offre une lecture des messages et stratégies que l’institution est en train de produire à l’attention de systèmes éducatifs africains. Soulignant toute l’agilité discursive de l’Observatoire, l’auteur montre que les discours de l’Observatoire contribuent à maintenir un rapport d’autorité à la norme : les variétés ne sont pas perçues comme un problème, tant qu’elles permettent aux apprenantes et apprenants du « Sud » de mieux maîtriser une norme dictée et documentée par les pays dits du « Nord ».
The multilingual Twitter-discourse on vaccination in Germany during the COVID-19 pandemic

Published: March 2023

There is evidence that specific segments of the population were hit particularly hard by the Covid-19 pandemic (e.g., people with a migration background). In this context, the impact and role played by online platforms in facilitating the integration or fragmentation of public debates and social groups is a recurring topic of discussion. This is where our study ties in, we ask: How is the topic of vaccination discussed and evaluated in different language communities in Germany on Twitter during the Covid-19 pandemic? We collected all tweets in German, Russian, Turkish, and Polish (i.e., the largest migrant groups in Germany) in March 2021 that included the most important keywords related to Covid-19 vaccination. All users were automatically geocoded. The data was limited to tweets from Germany. Our results show that the multilingual debate on Covid-19 vaccination in Germany does not have many structural connections. However, in terms of actors, arguments, and positions towards Covid-19 vaccination, the discussion in the different language communities is similar. This indicates that there is a parallelism of the debates but no social-discursive integration.
Maximizing Science Outreach on Facebook: An Analysis of Scientists’ Communication Strategies in Taiwan
Authors: Rauchfleisch Adrian , Kao Jo-Ju , Tseng Tzu-Hsuan , Ho Chia-Tzu , Li Lu-Yi
Published: March 2023

The internet, and especially social media platforms, offer scientists new opportunities to connect with a broader public. While many studies have focused on science communication on Twitter, surprisingly few have analyzed how scientists use Facebook, even though it is an essential platform for the general public in many countries. A possible explanation for this lack of research is that scientists keep their Facebook profiles separate from their work life and are more active on Twitter in their professional roles. Our study challenges this assumption by focusing on Taiwan as a peculiar case. Due to the local culture, Twitter is less popular there, and scientists are more active on Facebook, even in their professional roles. In our study, we analyzed 35 public pages of scientists on Facebook and assessed the factors explaining the reach of their communication using content analysis in combination with a multilevel model that allowed us to test predictors on the page level, such as the number of fans, in combination with predictors on the post level, such as the complexity of the language used. Our study shows that Facebook can play an influential role in science outreach. To effectively communicate with the audience on Facebook, it is best to use strategies that appeal to new and existing followers. Posts that address current issues and include opinions are likely to be shared widely, while humor or personal self-disclosure is likely to engage the existing audience. Our study contributes to the current debate about alternatives to Twitter in science communication.

Legal Status of Decentralized Finance: Towards the Articulation of Issue
Authors: Sidorenko E. L.
Published: March 2023

The paper discusses the issues of legal regulation of decentralized financial services (DeFi). The purpose of the work is to form a systematic understanding of the direction and scope in which they can be regulated based on the DeFi technological features and the nature of the relationships that arise between digital platforms and their users.

The methodological basis of the study is determined by the range of tasks and is focused on the analysis of decentralized finance simultaneously in technological, socio-cultural, political and legal aspects. Structural functional, taxonomic, constructive, situational, innovative, targeted and program-targeted methods form the complexity of the study. Taken together, they allowed us to study DeFi in their systemic unity and formulate the following conclusion. Decentralized finance is an independent model of finance organization both in terms of a set of technical characteristics (the use of distributed registry technology, smart contract protocols, oracles, etc.) and in terms of the nature of relations between the parties (horizontal P2P communications). The identified features allow us to consider them as a separate object of legal regulation. At the same time, it is important to take into account that the matrix of DeFi regulation at the national and international levels should be built in accordance with their taxonomy and assume simultaneous balanced consideration of technological features and product affiliation of services. The legal regulation of decentralized finance in the Russian Federation should primarily be focused on minimizing the risks associated with user identification, as well as determining the legal status of decentralized autonomous societies (DAOs), organizing centralized examination of protocols and preventing cyber attacks.
Crime Prevention System in the USSR: A Relic of the Past or a Model of the Future?
Authors: Kraynova N. A.
Published: March 2023

The current geopolitical situation in the world dictates the need to find new approaches in the field of countering global external and internal risks. Often such a search leads to the expediency of returning to social practices that have already been implemented and have proven their viability: if not a complete reverse, then the use of the most useful social tools that are maximally applicable in domestic conditions. Crime has always been one of the main internal threats to national security. In this regard, a retrospective study of the means and methods used to counter crime is not only interesting, but also practically useful. The experience of legal regulation and practical implementation of the crime prevention system in the USSR has both advantages and disadvantages. The identification of positive aspects, the identification of effective tools that could be used in the process of improving the currently existing crime prevention system in Russia, could make it possible to build the most effective promising model of counter-criminal activity at the present stage. The appeal to the crime prevention system in the USSR is due to the special significance of this period of national statehood, marked by significant historical events that demonstrated the role of the state in ensuring security, respect for human and civil rights and freedoms, including those who violated the law. During the Soviet period, special attention was given to the penitentiary and post-penitentiary period of the re-socialization of convicts, the provision of correctional and educational influence on them, a real system of preventing recidivism was built. Modern studies of such experience are actualized in connection with the organization of the probation system in the Russian Federation as a set of measures, functions and powers of the relevant entities assisting convicts who find themselves in a difficult life situation, which is ultimately aimed at preventing crimes.
Regional healthcare infrastructure disparities and foreign direct investment into Europe
Authors: Sormain Juliane , Ryan Michael
Published: March 2023

This study examines the impact of sub-national healthcare infrastructure heterogeneity on the location choice of inward foreign direct investment (FDI). We do so by employing an augmented gravity model on Japanese firm-level FDI into European NUTS-2 regions during the period 2000-2017. Differences in each region's per capita number of hospital beds and practicing physicians highlight the healthcare infrastructure heterogeneity across Europe. Our negative binomial estimation results indicate that both hospital beds and practicing physicians significantly positively attract inward FDI, with physician density having the more significant impact. The findings are consistent with the hypothesis that the quality of local institutions is a determinant of FDI attraction.
Revisiting the effects of government size and labour market institutions on macroeconomic volatility: the case of the eurozone
Authors: Bajo-Rubio Oscar , Berke Burcu
Published: March 2023

We revisit the role of government size and labour market institutions on macroeconomic volatility, for the case of the eurozone since the adoption of the euro, which can provide a more homogeneous setting to test for macroeconomic volatility. The behaviour of the volatility of inflation looked rather different from that of GDP. Neither government size nor labour market institutions seemed to affect the volatility of GDP, except when demographic factors were included into the estimated equation; whereas lower volatility of inflation was related to a lower share of non-prime age workers and lower wage volatility.

Published: March 2023

В статье представлены контуры созданного в 2022 г. консорциума МГИМО МИД России и НИУ ВШЭ для совместного осуществления исследовательского проекта “Политический атлас современного мира 2.0”. Одна из центральных задач данного проекта – исследование характеристик государств, определяющих их положение в мировой системе. При этом очевидный научный вызов перед коллективом консорциума связан с тем, что и государства, и мировая система, в которой государства являются важными, но не единственными акторами, претерпевают всевозможные изменения, а также выступают как источниками, так и объектами воздействия в континууме международных отношений. Решение поставленной задачи в контексте этого вызова видится в определении и систематическом измерении характеристик государств, описывающих как располагаемые ими ресурсы, так и особенности и результаты их функционирования. В рамках исследовательского проекта предстоит осуществить реконцептуализацию зарекомендовавших себя ранее индексов государственности, потенциала международного влияния, внешних и внутренних угроз, качества жизни и институциональных основ демократии, а также уточнить используемые в индексах переменные. В ходе реализации проекта планируется апробировать на возросшем объеме данных, представленных временными рядами, новые методы анализа (например, методы байесовской статистики, сетевой анализ и др.), что в том числе открывает возможности оценивать динамику позиций государств в мире. В настоящее время поиск количественных показателей устойчивости государств находится в фокусе как академических, так и прикладных исследований и представляется важной частью усилий по реконцептуализации государственности. Параллельно с концептуальным продвижением в рамках подготовки проекта идет разработка программной среды для визуализации и осуществления доступа представителей академического и экспертного сообществ и лиц, принимающих решения, к результатам проекта, – в том числе за счет продолжения и развития онлайнового энциклопедического ресурса по политическим и социально-экономическим системам современных государств.
Эволюция роли президента в политической системе Польши после 1989 года
Authors: Путинцев Игорь
Published: March 2023

В статье анализируется эволюция роли президента в политической системе современной Польши. В стране существует специфическая форма правления, которую нельзя отнести ни к полупрезидентской республике, ни к парламентской системе классического типа. Это порождает неопределенность, повышает роль ситуативных раскладов и политической практики. Цель работы – на основе определенных критериев, выделенных автором, проранжировать польских президентов по объему власти и политического влияния, выявив преобладающую тенденцию. К задачам статьи относится обзор имеющихся мнений о классификации формы правления в Польше, исследование нормативной базы, определявшей положение президента на разных этапах (конституционная реформа 1989 г., “малая конституция”, конституция 1997 г., решения Конституционного суда), и анализ повлиявших на ее эволюцию политических условий, изучение характера взаимодействия президента с другими органами власти и политическими партиями, выявление иерархии данного взаимодействия и анализ наиболее важных прецедентов, оценка влияния президента на различные сферы государственной политики, включая международную деятельность. Структура статьи базируется на хронологическом принципе. Деятельность шести польских президентов рассматривается не в целом, а в контексте ее влияния на изменение институциональной роли главы государства. Автор приходит к выводу, что влияние главы государства в Польше существенно снизилось в последние 15-20 лет. Основанное на балльной оценке ранжирование подтверждает данный вывод. Кроме права вето и отдельных кадровых полномочий, у президента мало рычагов прямого влияния в сфере государственного управления. Тенденции развития политической практики также складываются не в его пользу: глава государства мало влияет на партии и парадоксальным образом имеет меньший политический вес тогда, когда относится к тому же лагерю, что правительство и парламентское большинство. Роль президента менее значительна, чем лидера правящей партии и премьер-министра, хотя и не своится к церемониальной.
Цивилизации в современной политике: субъектность, внутренние размежевания, динамика
Authors: Пантин Владимир
Published: March 2023

Проблемы политической субъектности локальных цивилизаций и их роли в мировой политике актуализировались в связи с процессами глобализации, изменения мирового порядка и формирования международных региональных союзов. В статье анализируется монография “Цивилизации в современном мире” (М.: ЛЕНАНД, 2022), написанная видным российским политологом и историком В.Г. Хоросом. Автор монографии исследует основные характеристики цивилизаций современного мира, обращая внимание на ключевые факторы политического развития – особенности внутренней социальной дифференциации каждой из цивилизаций и связанных с этим внутренних политических противостояний, отличительные черты нелинейной динамики и процессов модернизации. В работе сочетаются различные подходы политической науки, приводится обширный исторический материал. С точки зрения политической науки особо значимо исследование незападных цивилизаций – китайской, индийской, африканской, исламской, а также российской цивилизации. В целом монография является важным вкладом в исследование цивилизаций и их роли в современной политике, она отвечает на многие актуальные вопросы, которые ставятся отечественными и зарубежными учеными.

Salt stress is one of the main abiotic stresses limiting sustainable crop production in the world. Biopriming is the technique involving the use of beneficial and environmentally friendly biological agents to improve the physiological functioning of seeds. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are found in the rhizosphere of plants and have the potential to cope with salinity stress. In this study, the effects of Bacillus thuringiensis LU3 (Bt LU3) biopriming application on two common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) varieties (Sultan-95 and Tosunbey) under salt stress (0, 100 and 200 mM NaCI) on physiological (root and shoot length, biomass, dry weight, specific leaf area (SLA)), and biochemical parameters (pigment content, total protein content, hydrogen peroxide content (H2O2), lipid peroxidation content (TBARS) and antioxidant enzyme activities (peroxidase activity (POX), glutathione reductase activity (GR))) were investigated. As a result, it was determined that salt-sensitive Sultan-95 had better growth with Bt LU3 biopriming compared to salt-tolerant Tosunbey

Bu çalışma, sınıf öğretmenlerinin kültürel değerlere yönelik duyarlılıklarının incelenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Tarama modeliyle gerçekleştirilen bu çalışmanın örneklemi basit seçkisiz örnekleme tekniğiyle belirlenmiştir. Çalışmaya gönüllü olarak katılmayı kabul eden ve Yozgat ilinde görev yapan 261 sınıf öğretmeni çalışmanın örneklemini oluşturmaktadır. Veriler Karataş (2020) tarafından geliştirilen “Kültürel Değerlere Duyarlı Öğretmen Ölçeği” aracılığıyla toplanmış ve SPSS istatistik programıyla analiz edilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda, sınıf öğretmenlerinin kültürel değerlere yönelik duyarlılıklarında, en yüksek puana sahip maddenin “Öğrencilerime sahip olduğu kültürel özelliklerden dolayı ayrımcılık yapılması beni rahatsız eder.” olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Sınıf öğretmenlerinin kültürel değerlere yönelik duyarlılıklarının katılıyorum düzeyinde olduğu bulunmuştur. Ayrıca sınıf öğretmenlerinin kültürel değerlere yönelik duyarlılıklarının cinsiyete ve öğrenim durumuna göre anlamlı bir farklılık göstermediği bulunmuştur. Sınıf öğretmenlerinin mesleki kıdemine göre kültürel değerlere yönelik duyarlılıkları ile pedagojik alt boyutunda anlamlı farklılığın olduğu, farkındalık ve duyarlılık alt boyutlarında ise anlamlı farklılığın olmadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Dünya çapında yer alan bütün firmalar için performans ve verimlilik en temel iki unsur olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Performansın ölçülmesi ve değerlendirilmesinde performans ölçüm kriterlerinin objektif bir şekilde belirlenmesi de oldukça önemli bir konudur. Bu çalışmada, firma performansını değerlendirmek için Balanced Scorecard (BSC) yönteminden yararlanılmıştır. Performans ölçüm kriterlerinin ağırlığını belirlemek için ise çok kriterli karar verme yöntemi olan Analitik Hiyerarşi Prosesi (AHP) kullanılmıştır. İzmir’de metal kaplama sektöründe faaliyet gösteren bir firmanın 2018, 2019 ve 2020 yılları için performansı BSC ile değerlendirilmiştir. BSC’nin finansal boyut, müşteri boyutu, iç süreçler boyutu ve öğrenme ve gelişme boyutlarının performans değerlendirmedeki önem düzeyleri AHP ile ölçülmüştür. Firmanın belirlenen yıllar için performans değerlendirmesi elde edilmiştir.

Authors: MOLLAOĞLU Songül
Published: March 2023

Bu çalışmanın amacı Barthes’in göstergebilimsel çözümlemesinin göçle ilgili yapılmış günümüz sanat pratiklerine yansımasının incelenmesidir. Çalışmada göç olgusuna kuramsal dayanak oluşturması için literatür taraması ve göçle ilgili güncel sanat pratiklerinin çözümlenmesinde göstergebilimsel çözümleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Amaçlı örneklem metodu ile Halil Altındere’nin (Köfte Havayolları), Ai Wewei’in (Yolculuğun Kanunu), Tammam Azzam’ın (Bon Voyage:New York, Bon Voyage: Suria) ve Bruno Catalano’nun (Marsilya, Fransa, Gezginler ve Parçalar, Venedik) pratikleri ele alınmıştır. Bütün pratiklerde günümüzde yaşanan savaş ve çatışmalarla savaşın yıkıcı tahrip edici fiziksel görüntülerinin yanında yaşanan göçler, dışlanma, yoksulluk, öteki olma, kültür, kimlik, stigma algısı ve ötekileştirilme gibi göstergeler yer almaktadır. Göç olgusu, göçün toplumsal hayat üzerindeki zorlukları ve sosyolojik pratiklerin değişimlerinin birey ve toplum üzerindeki yansımaları güçlü bir biçimde vurgulanmaktadır. Sonuç olarak bu çalışmalarda, sosyal, kültürel, psikolojik boyutları olan göçe sanatsal bakış açısı ile yaklaşılarak ortaya çıkan sorunlara etkili çözümler geliştirilmemesine vurgu yapılmış ve dünya kamuoyunda göçlere ilişkin gerekli duyarlılığın geliştirilmesi istenmiştir.
