Community structure of endophytic fungi in roots and leaves of Fagopyrum mill and Avena sativa in a Chinese northern cold region
Authors: Gao Yamei , Li Zhiwen , Han Yiqiang
Published: March 2023

In order to explore the endophytic fungi of Fagopyrum Mill and Avena sativa, Illumina Miseq high-throughput sequencing was used to analyze the community structure and diversity of endophytic fungi in leaves and roots of buckwheat and oat at the mature stage. The results of community structure showed that there were 205 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) in buckwheat roots and 181 OTUs in buckwheat leaves based on 97% sequence similarity level. There were 152 OTUs and 127 OTUs in the root and the leaf of oat, respectively. At the phylum level, Ascomycota and Basidiomycota were the dominant endophytic fungi in buckwheat roots and leaves, while Ascomycota was the dominant endophytic fungus in oat roots and leaves. Alpha diversity analysis showed that the Ace index, Chao index and Shannon index of buckwheat roots were higher than that of buckwheat leaves, and the three indices of oat roots were also higher than that of oat leaves, indicating that the richness and diversity of endophytic fungi community in roots were higher than that in leaves. Biomarkers were found by significant difference analysis in buckwheat and oat. The endophytic functional groups of buckwheat and oat were mainly distributed in Pathotroph and Saprotroph. The results of this study laid a foundation for fully exploiting the dominant endophytic fungal resources of buckwheat and oat and further developing microbial fertilizers.
Transcatheter Aortic Valve-in-Valve-in-Valve Replacement in a Young Woman With Transcatheter Structural Valve Deterioration Within a Degenerated Aortic Root Homograft
Authors: Hong Jonathan C. , Orozco-Sevilla Vicente , Diez Jose G. , Coselli Joseph S.
Published: March 2023

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement is a well-established procedure for older patients with symptomatic, severe aortic stenosis. However, data are lacking on its durability and long-term complications, particularly in young patients and patients treated for aortic valve regurgitation. This article describes the case of a 27-year-old woman with complex congenital cardiovascular disease who, after 4 previous aortic valve replacement procedures, presented with structural deterioration of her most recent replacement valve, which had been placed by transcatheter aortic valve replacement inside a failed aortic root homograft 6 years earlier. After the patient had undergone this transcatheter aortic valve replacement procedure to treat aortic valve regurgitation related to her degenerated aortic root homograft, she became pregnant and successfully carried her high-risk pregnancy to term. However, the replacement valve deteriorated during the late stages of pregnancy, resulting in substantial hemodynamic changes between the first trimester and the postpartum period. To avoid repeat sternotomy, a redo transcatheter valve-in-valve replacement procedure procedure was performed through the right carotid artery. Because the patient wanted to have more children and therefore avoid anticoagulation, a SAPIEN 3 transcatheter valve (Edwards Lifesciences) was placed as a bridge to a future, more-durable aortic root replacement. The result in this case suggests that in patients with complex adult congenital pathology, transcatheter aortic valve replacement can be used as a temporizing bridge to subsequent, definitive aortic valve repair.
Fundações corporativas: A privatização da educação e as estratégias de legitimidade política via responsabilidade social corporativa
Authors: Bittar-Godinho Juliana de Souza , Lima João Paulo Resende de
Published: March 2023

O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar os comportamentos das fundações corporativas (FCs) em seu papel de influenciar a política educacional via RSC. Complementarmente, analisaremos como a ideologia neoliberal se insere nos discursos destas FCs. Partiu-se da abordagem interpretativista e adotou-se metodologia qualitativa para análise dos documentos pelo software Nvivo. Identificamos as estratégias adotadas conforme adaptação da tipologia de Zhao (2012). Constatamos que as FCs exercem legitimidade política via RSC por duas estratégias principais: “Mudar Políticas” e “Inovar na Capacidade Operacional e Decisória do Estado”. Estas estratégias estão relacionadas. Para mudar as políticas públicas, a empresa precisa fazer parcerias com o Estado, mostrando como o novo arranjo atende às demandas estatais.  São mecanismos utilizados na estratégia “Mudar Políticas: participação em diálogos formais; na formulação de políticas públicas (regime de Colaboração nas escolas, Reforma do Ensino Médio, Homologação da Base Nacional Comum Curricular para o Ensino Fundamental), movimentos empresariais; apoio ao Conselho Nacional de Secretários da Educação, promoção de fóruns. O trabalho contribui para uma discussão pública acerca da participação de FCs na educação e no processo democrático, questionando limites, transparência de objetivos, interesses estratégicos e ressaltando a necessidade de inclusão equilibrada de outros atores da sociedade civil.
Las tensiones entre la necesidad económica y el mérito académico: Análisis de las percepciones sobre la política de becas 6000 en Andalucía (España)
Authors: Río Ruiz Manuel A. , Jiménez Rodrigo María Luisa
Published: March 2023

El artículo analiza las percepciones de la población beneficiaria sobre las Becas 6000 en Andalucía (España), un pionero programa de transferencias de rentas condicionadas a resultados educativos limitado a estudiantes de secundaria postobligatoria procedentes de familias de muy escasos recursos. Se ha desarrollado una estrategia cualitativa sustentada en 33 entrevistas en profundidad. El material fue analizado siguiendo procedimientos de la teoría fundamentada. Los análisis revelan dos sentidos principales. Por una parte, la percepción de las becas como un instrumento de equidad en el apoyo a estudiantes con mayores necesidades económicas, aunque se cuestiona su limitada cobertura y escasa flexibilidad. Además, la beca se valora como un recurso facilitador de nuevas inversiones en educación y como un recurso básico al servicio de la economía doméstica. Por otra parte, las becas se entienden como un instrumento efectivo para incentivar el esfuerzo y el rendimiento académico. En suma, la beca 6000 se valora como un buen recurso, solidario, justo y necesario, conjugándose los principios de equidad y eficiencia cuya interiorización por parte de la población beneficiaria contribuye a la adhesión y compromiso con el programa.
State Liability for Judicial Decisions Infringing EU Law – the Polish Experience
Authors: Michalak Marcin , Dębicki Jakub
Published: March 2023

The liability of Member States for damages caused by the issuance of a judicial decision in breach of EU law has been shaped in the jurisprudence of the CJEU, as a mechanism to ensure effective legal protection of EU citizens. Its primary purpose is to ensure that in a situation where a court of a Member State causes damage to a citizen by violating EU laws by its ruling, the citizen has a legal remedy to obtain compensation for such a violation. Based on the principle of procedural autonomy of the Member States, such claims can be asserted on the grounds of national procedural rules under the substantive legal grounds laid down by the CJEU in its case law.Research conducted by the authors of the article indicates that despite more than 18 years of Poland’s presence in the European Union, it is extremely difficult to find rulings on liability for damages for breach of EU law by Polish courts. It seems that such a state of affairs may be caused by ambiguities and interpretative doubts that arise on the grounds of Polish procedure in the case of claims for damages for breach of EU law by the courts. Both in the doctrine and case law there are far-reaching divergences as to whether the pre-judgment provided for in the Polish Civil Code should apply to claims for breach of EU law, and if so, when it should be applied. These doubts are reflected in the scant judicial case law on the issue in question. It seems that the indicated procedural doubts and lack of clarity as to the proper procedure in pursuing such claims may deter parties from more frequent initiation of proceedings to obtain compensation for breach of EU law by a national courts in the Polish context.
Council Directive (EU) 2018/822 and the Right to Privacy. An Attempt to Answer the Preliminary Question in Case C-694/20
Authors: Szymacha Adam
Published: March 2023

Through an action before the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), the Belgian Constitutional Court intends to obtain an answer to the question related to the compatibility of Council Directive (EU) 2018/822 with the fundamental right to respect for private life. The mechanism provided by this Directive may violate this right because it consists in obliging the lawyer who has invoked the Legal Professional Privilege to provide information about the evasion of the obligation to inform the authorities about the cross-border arrangement. This arrangement may amount to tax avoidance by the client. I will try to predict the possible response of the CJEU by analyzing its previous case law. Interference with fundamental rights must be proportionate. The secrecy of the lawyer’s communication with his client deserves special protection. The proportionality of the interference may be evidenced by filters such as judicial supervision, intermediation by an independent authority etc.
Problems with applying human rights in the actions of public administration
Authors: Puczko Aleksandra
Published: March 2023

This article aims to analyze the contemporary problem of respecting human rights in the actions of public administration. To that end, it aims to show the causes of the issue in question and propose solutions. The article opens with a description of the legal aspect of human rights from the general perspective as a matter of rules and elements of the legal system. This part of the article presents the legal grounds for and obstacles to incorporating human rights and the acts that regulate them into the actions of public administration. In the subsequent sections, the analysis shifts to a detailed perspective. The first one concerns the reliance of the public administration’s actions on Art. 6 point 1 of the European Convention on Human Rights and shows the issues with applying it to administrative cases, as noted in the literature and jurisprudence. The second addresses the issues associated with incorporating human rights regulations into the application of the substantial law. This problem is analyzed from the standpoint of legal regulations, values and interpretation. At the same time, the article aims to show that while on the one hand public administration is responsible for safeguarding rights, on the other it is also entitled to breach and limit.

Published: March 2023

In recent years, emerging approaches to chatbot-guided food coaching and dietary management, while innovative and promising in nature, have often lacked long-term studies. Therefore, with this work, we pursued a participatory approach within a design case study to the co-design and development of a nutrition chatbot for elderly people. Overall, 15 participants were directly involved in the study, of which 12 participated in the initial co-design phase, seven in the first real-world evaluation study over four weeks, and three in the second evaluation study over seven weeks. We contribute to the fields of Human-Computer Interaction by showing how the long-term use of such a chatbot in the area of nutrition looks like, which design implications arise for the development of nutrition chatbots, and how a participatory design approach can be realized to design, evaluate and develop nutrition chatbots.
The peristaltic flow for Carreau fluid through an elastic channel
Authors: Al-Khafajy Dheia G. Salih , Majeed Mashhadi Radhwan R.
Published: March 2023

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of an elastic wall on the peristaltic flow of Carreau fluid between two concentric cylinders, where the inner tube is cylindrical with an inelastic wall and the outer wall is a regular elastic sine wave. For this problem, cylindrical coordinates were used, and a short wavelength “relative to channel width for its length,” as well as the governing equations of Carreau fluid in the Navier–Stokes equations. Then, the analytical solution has been investigated by using the regular perturbation technique. The solutions obtained by this perturbation are up to the fourth-order in dimensionless Weissenberg number (

W

e

{W}_{{\rm{e}}}

). The performed computations of various parameter values such as velocity, shear stress, and wave frame streamlines are discussed in detail for different values of the Weissenberg number (

W

e

{W}_{{\rm{e}}}

). The obtained results demonstrate that the fluid velocity increases with the increase in the value of

W

e

{W}_{{\rm{e}}}

and some features of the wall, while the opposite behavior is observed with the increase in other features of the wall. Hence, the presented numerical analysis reveals many aspects of the flow by considering a non-Newtonian Carreau fluid model, and the presented model can be equally applicable to other bio-mathematical studies. The results were evaluated using the Mathematica software program. The Mathematica program was used by entering various data for the parameters, where the program showed the graphs, then the effect of these parameters became clear and the results were mentioned in the conclusion.
A time-step-robust algorithm to compute particle trajectories in 3-D unstructured meshes for Lagrangian stochastic methods
Authors: Balvet Guilhem , Minier Jean-Pierre , Henry Christophe , Roustan Yelva , Ferrand Martin
Published: March 2023

The purpose of this paper is to propose a time-step-robust cell-to-cell integration of particle trajectories in 3-D unstructured meshes in particle/mesh Lagrangian stochastic methods.
The main idea is to dynamically update the mean fields used in the time integration by splitting, for each particle, the time step into sub-steps such that each of these sub-steps corresponds to particle cell residence times.
This reduces the spatial discretization error.
Given the stochastic nature of the models, a key aspect is to derive estimations of the residence times that do not anticipate the future of the Wiener process.
To that effect, the new algorithm relies on a virtual particle, attached to each stochastic one, whose mean conditional behavior provides free-of-statistical-bias predictions of residence times.
After consistency checks, this new algorithm is validated on two representative test cases: particle dispersion in a statistically uniform flow and particle dynamics in a non-uniform flow.
A Warehouse Theory of Capital Accumulation
Authors: Cheung Steven N. S.
Published: March 2023

An interesting puzzle in 20th century economics is that in her magnum opus, The Accumulation of Capital (Robinson, J. 1956. The Accumulation of Capital. London: Macmillan.), Mrs. Joan Robinson made no mention of the name Irving Fisher. Zero, none. In my view, Mrs. Robinson was the greatest British economist since Alfred Marshall, and Irving Fisher was the greatest economist ever lived. Yes, with a great diversity of subject matters, Fisher in economics was a Mozart in music, a Rembrandt in art, or a Darwin in biology. In short, Fisher was a genius.
Integrated circuits based on broadband pixel-array metasurfaces for generating data-carrying optical and THz orbital angular momentum beams
Authors: Willner Alan E. , Su Xinzhou , Song Hao , Zhou Huibin , Zou Kaiheng
Published: March 2023

There is growing interest in using multiple multiplexed orthogonal orbital angular momentum (OAM) beams to increase the data capacity of communication systems in different frequency ranges. To help enable future deployment of OAM-based communications, an ecosystem of compact and cost-effective OAM generators and detectors is likely to play an important role. Desired features of such integrated circuits include generating and detecting multiple coaxial OAM beams, tunability of OAM orders, and operation over a wide bandwidth. In this article, we discuss the use of pixel-array–based metasurfaces as OAM transmitters and receivers for mode division multiplexing (MDM) communications in near-infrared (NIR) and terahertz (THz) regimes.
Production Network and Emission Control Targets-Theoretical Approach
Authors: Eslamipoor Reza , Wang Zheng , Kolade Oluwaseun
Published: March 2023

By spurring trade, the level of income and consumption and production increase, which consequently causes a more polluted environment. As global economic integration escalates, the possibility of contention becomes more translucent. The foundation of this article is based on the Ricardian model regarding consumption and production pollution function in six scenarios depending on Autarky or trade situation. There is also a difference in the relative labour size of countries. Also, pollution tightness can clarify whether there are any concerns about climate change regarding the production pollution function and consumption pollution function. The theoretical approach proves that unemployment does not occur when we have no concerns about climate change and this tightness of pollution would not impact the level of production and consumption. The emission intensity, relative labour size and tightness of pollution targets are the key elements discussed in both Autarky and trade. The critical point about trade is that it enters specialization, and the home country only produces good 1 and the foreign country only produces good 2. The main finding of this paper, based on a simple theoretical approach, is about the impact of one unit change in relative labour size regarding pollution tightness with respect to the labour force of both home and foreign countries is provided at the end.
Link between insulin resistance and skeletal muscle extracellular matrix remodeling
Authors: Aleksandrowicz Róża , Strączkowski Marek
Published: March 2023

Skeletal muscle is the main metabolic tissue responsible for glucose homeostasis in the body. It is surrounded by the extracellular matrix (ECM) consisting of three layers: epimysium, perimysium, and endomysium. ECM plays an important role in the muscle, as it provides integrity and scaffolding cells. The observed disturbances in this structure are related to the abnormal remodeling of the ECM (through an increase in the concentration of its components). ECM rearrangement may impair insulin action by increasing the physical barrier to insulin transport and reducing insulin transport into muscle cells as well as by directly inhibiting insulin action through integrin signaling. Thus, improper ECM remodeling may contribute to the development of insulin resistance (IR) and related comorbidities. In turn, IR-associated conditions may further aggravate disturbances of ECM in skeletal muscle. This review describes the major components of the ECM that are necessary for its proper function. Particular attention was also paid to receptors (integrins) involved in the signaling of metabolic pathways. Finally, changes in ECM components in the context of clinical and animal studies are discussed. This article will help the reader to systematize knowledge related to the ECM and to better understand the relationship between ECM remodeling and IR, and its role in the pathogenesis of T2DM. The information in this article presents the concept of the role of ECM and its remodeling in the pathogenesis of IR, which may contribute to developing new therapeutic solutions.
SOCIAL AND PEDAGOGICAL SUPPORT FOR INTERNALLY DISPLACED CHILDREN UNDER MARTIAL LAW
Authors: Protas Oksana
Published: March 2023

Millions of Ukrainian families with children have been forced to leave their permanent place of residence, moving to safer places under the current conditions of martial law in the country, which in its effects corresponds to the difficult life and often traumatic circumstances. The challenge arises in the need to meet the needs of new residents for social, medical, psychological, legal, social and pedagogical services, and appropriate living conditions. Forced moving can cause emotional and physical stress, fear, depression, inability to adequately assess events and make decisions, respond to them, and adapt to the changed conditions. The need for social protection and psychological and social and pedagogical assistance takes on increasing importance for families, in particular for children in difficult circumstances as a result of military actions. The article reveals the peculiarities of providing social and pedagogical support to children of internally displaced persons under martial law. The need for a multilevel comprehensive system of support for victims and displaced persons, the organization of intersectoral and interdepartmental interaction between specialists of corresponding services in providing complete psychological and social and pedagogical help, and coordination of efforts of various specialists is brought up to date. The need for social and pedagogical and psychological support for internally displaced children, which may require the recovery of their mental health and social well-being, an appropriate response to hostilities, and adaptation to new, changed conditions, is emphasized. It was established that social and pedagogical support is a type of activity of a social care teacher, aimed at organizing preventive and operational social and psychological and pedagogical assistance in preventing and overcoming situations that violate the vital activities of children. An analysis of models of social and pedagogical support for internally displaced children in difficult circumstances has been conducted. The technology of social and pedagogical support for children of internally displaced persons is considered. The relevant directions and content of social and pedagogical support for children of internally displaced persons under martial law are outlined. It is noted that modeling and organization of social and pedagogical support for children of internally displaced persons who suffered from military operations or were forced to leave their homes will help them to overcome the psychological trauma of military events, and will contribute to successful adaptation to the new changed conditions.

Keywords: internally displaced persons, difficult life circumstances, social services, adaptation of internally displaced children, social and pedagogical support, model of social and pedagogical support for children of internally displaced families.

Published: March 2023

The article reveals the theoretical aspects of learning English and its place and role in modern education. The main tasks and content of profilisation are determined. The methods of reading and listening to the texts while learning English and ways of improving them are studied. Nowadays, school profilisation is one of the important directions of Ukrainian general education modernisation. The introduction of subject-oriented instruction in the junior (1st-4th) grades of general educational institutions is determined by the current trends in the national education development, the state and society social services commissioning to school, the socio-economic and socio-cultural development of Ukraine, as well as by the analysis of the successful practices of foreign countries’ school education. The theoretical basis for the subject-oriented instruction implementation is the Laws of Ukraine “On Education” and “On General Secondary Education”, the Concept of Subject-Oriented Instruction in Junior School, the State Standard of Basic and Complete General Secondary Education and other regulatory documents. The main theoretical advances of domestic and foreign scientists with reference to the best practices in junior students’ education organisation are embodied in the Concept of Subject-Oriented Instruction in Primary School.

Keywords: profilisation, foreign language activity, authentic speech, monologue speech, foreign language communicative competence, reading and listening skills, literary and colloquial speech.

CULTURAL APPROACH IN SHAPING THE READINESS OF FUTURE EDUCATORS FOR CREATIVE ARTISTIC AND CONSTRUCTIVE ACTIVITY WITH PRESCHOOLERS
Authors: Boryn Galyna
Published: March 2023

The article is devoted to the analysis of the ethno-aesthetic component of the cultural approach in the process of preparation of future educators for the management of creative artistic and constructive activity of preschool children. Particular attention is paid to the fact that improving the training of future educators for the upbringing of preschool children is related to the revival of the cultural and educational mission of a higher education institution, establishing those educational relationships that provide for the unity of forms, methods and means of spiritual and creative development of future teachers. It is emphasized that the basis of the cultural approach is the system of value attitude to the social environment, to itself. In modern pedagogical science, the cultural approach is a methodology, which is based on the pedagogy of humanism, it involves the formation of a future personality in the relevant historical and cultural conditions of life, development, education. It has been found that the preparation of future educators of preschool education institutions is a permanent edging process, the content of which is agreed by ukrainian society. At the heart of this process - customs and traditions of the лkrainian people, orientation on national models of folk art. It is clarified that the aesthetization of the educational process in the higher education institution is focused on the use of those forms and methods that contribute to the formation of pedagogical culture of the applicant with the means of art. Ukrainian folk art, penetrating the content of students' learning, provides opportunities for the comprehensive harmonious development of the future tutor, promotes the realization of his creative potential. The procedures for the implementation of the ethno-aesthetic component of the cultural approach during the artistic and constructive activity of education applicants in higher education with the activation of the following characteristics are considered: integrity and sub-sensory (hypersensitivity) of the perception of the world, synergy, imagery, association, sensitivity.

Keywords: cultural approach, artistic and constructive activity, educational process, preschool education institution, ethnosthetic component, professional training, higher education institution, education applicants, preschool children.

Published: March 2023

The shorter natural durability and low energy density of eucalyptus wood hampers its use in generating energy. Torrefaction or pre-carbonization, which is treatment in low oxygen with temperatures between 200 °C and 300 °C, accumulates carbon and lignin, decreases the hygroscopicity, increases the energy efficiency, and reduces the attractiveness of wood to xylophagous organisms, such as termites. The objective of this study was to evaluate the resistance of fresh and torrefied Eucalyptus urophylla (20 min at temperatures of 180 °C, 220 °C, and 260 °C) to dry wood termites (Cryptotermes brevis), following IPT standards. The torrefaction process increased the resistance to dry wood termite attack after 45 d of exposure, with mass losses five times greater in the in natura wood compared with the wood torrefied at 260 °C. The larger visual damage to the in natura chips confirmed its lower resistance to dry wood termites. Torrefaction at 260 °C increased the resistance to dry wood termites and was more efficient with a lower mass loss and wear, and caused a greater mortality of dry wood termites.

Published: March 2023

Cellulosic henequen fibers were subjected to steam explosion and impregnated with polyethylene glycol (PEG) to improve fiber-matrix compatibility in polylactic acid (PLA) composites. Through Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) it was shown that the hydroxyl, methyl, and ether functional groups were increased after the steam explosion treatment. Changes in the cellulose morphology caused by the steam explosion and impregnation with PEG were observed via scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Good adhesion of the treated cellulose and the PLA matrix was observed through improvement of the tensile strength and Young’s modulus of the PLA composite. The PEG impregnated into the fiber plasticized the PLA matrix and reduced the Tg from 59 °C to 52 °C. The increase in crystallinity confirmed the cellulose fibers induced nucleation of the PLA, which resulted in greater rigidity of the PLA composites.

Published: March 2023

Seed health testing, using the blotter method, revealed some fungal growth on the seed surface of one accession of Indian trumpet flower/Broken bones tree (Oroxylum indicum (L.) Kurz) collected from Kokrajhar, Assam, India. The fungus was identified as Diaporthe phaseolorum (Cooke & Ellis) Sacc. based on morphological characters. Later, the identity was re-confirmed by DNA sequencing using ITS gene sequencing (NCBI Sequence Id: MT154253.1) and a large subunit of rRNA (NCBI Sequence Id: OL798081.1). Literature reveals that D. phaseolorum is a destructive pathogen causing severe yield losses in various host crops. However, detection of D. phaseolorum in Indian trumpet flower seed followed by pathogenicity on its seedlings confirms that O. indicum is a new host record. Being a destructive pathogen of several other crops, such as seed decay and stem canker in soybean, it may pose a serious threat to future cultivation of this herbal plant.

Published: March 2023

Leaf and stem fibers of Sorghum halepense L. (SH) were investigated as fillers for recycled polypropylene (RPP) at 10, 20, and 30 wt%. The effects of SH in RPP on the thermal and mechanical properties of composites were investigated by tensile and bending tests, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). It was found that mechanical properties of the RPP composites decreased but their elasticity modulus increased. The addition of SH fibers to the polymer matrix changed the thermal properties of RPP. A slight decrease in DSC crystallinity was observed with the addition of 10% SH leaf and stem fiber to the polymer matrix and then the percentages of crystallinity increased with the addition of 20% and 30% SH leaf and stem fiber. The SEM images showed that the SH fibers mixed well with the polymer matrix without agglomeration, and the fracture sections of the composites were less rough than that of the RPP by itself.
Stichera “ин роспев с отменами” in part-song manuscripts of Tsar’s singing deacons from the period of Peter I
Authors: Kondrashkova Lada
Published: March 2023

The article is devoted to a newly found musical-theoretical term of Russian partes music of the first quarter of the 18th century, applied to a modified, “different”, “arbitrary” version of the chant of festive verses and indicating the presence of “cancellations” in it. The term was found in two manuscripts associated with the Choir of the Sovereign's Singing Deacons of the time of Peter’s era, in two formulations: "another chant with cancellations" and "arbitrariness with cancellation". Both manuscripts are four-part adaptations of the Znamenny Chant Holidays, preserved in the form of a score and as a set of parts. The description of the singing manuscripts of the Archive of the Armory Chamber of the Russian State Archive of Ancient Acts, which is currently being carried out by the author together with N. Yu. Plotnikova, provided material for the article. Source research suggests that the term "with cancellations" belongs to the sovereign's singer Deacon Alexei Mikhailovich Protopopov, who worked in the court choir at the same time as his alleged relative, the usher Ivan Mikhailovich Protopopov. The article analyzes the unusual moments of partes chants that are not specific for znamenny chant, where many random sharps and flats appear. The author convinces that sharps and flats at that time could be used in two ways: in the modern sense and as modal signs indicating an unusual position of the “obikhodnyy” scale as a result of its mutation. In addition to the frequently encountered mutations one tone down, in the verse of the Annunciation “The Sacrament from the Ages” there are mutations one tone up and even two tones up. Fret shifts, so rare in Znamenny singing, are written in unusual sharps and flats, designated by the indicated term. The author proposes to translate it into modern language as "a variety of chant with changes", or "with shifts".
In search of the lost tradition: towards a history of church painting of the 1830s — 1st half of the 1840s
Authors: Maslov Konstantin
Published: March 2023

Fast moving Europeanisation of Russia, started by Peter the Great and continued by his successors, showed itself, among other things, in founding the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts and in the birth of Russian academic school, whose brilliant achievements were not in the least the legacy of Russian art tradition, especially that of icon-painting, for the latter was only allowed to exist as the arts of the commoners. This state of things was regarded as something to overcome during the reign of Nicholas I, when gradual re-establishment of the ties with tradition begins, seen in particular in the "Byzantine style" in Church architecture, invented by K.A. Ton in late 1820s - early 1830s at the behest of the emperor. Conservative ideology, expressed as it was in the so called theory of the official nationhood (narodnost'), starting from the times when S.S. Uvarov, the author of this theory, was appointed Minister of Public Instruction, was not reflected, however, in the academic Church painting and in the paintings which belonged to historic genre as a whole. This article is focused on the views on the academic Church paintings and traditional icon-paintings that were typical of the educated class of the 1830s and early 1840s. It is shown that the contemporaries of Russian "historical" painters, including those in the Church, saw their calling in commitment to the people (narodnost'), for "there is a need to assume... one's own character, which, while retaining its originality, would tend toward the general harmony with the European Art"; at least a part of the society has come to the opinion that at the time of the decline of famous schools of the West, it is in Russia that paintings show "life and development". (I.V. Kookolnik). In Church paintings of the 1830s the "Russian" style, oriented at the monuments of the past, originated not in the academic school itself, but in the adminicular activity, that is, as a by-product of the artistic and archaeological studies of F.G. Solntsev. A.N. Olenin, the President of the Academy of Arts, on whose intiative these studies were performed, envisaged their outcome as "the complete painting course of archaeology and ethnography for the artists". This course was born in the 1830s during two works of the artist: the making of Church calendar and the painting of Terem Palace and the churches in the Moscow Kremlin.
Christianisation of ancient architecture: mother cities and Dalmatian provinces
Authors: Voronova Ariadna
Published: March 2023

The article examines the peculiarities of the processes of Christianization of architecture in the major metropolises (Philippi, Thessalonica, Athens, Corinth) of the Roman Empire, as well as in the Dalmatian provinces (Jader, Salona, Pola, small settlements and islands) on the border between them. The specifics of the religious situation in these regions and the missionary activity of Christian preachers led to the transformation or adaptation of pagan cult structures, household or residential buildings. At the same time, pagan temples were very rarely destroyed intentionally, but as a rule they became abandoned and gradually destroyed naturally, providing building material for Christian churches. The use of such building material of previous structures could be symbolic, and in some cases architectural details changed their function from constructive to liturgical. Both in the capitals and in the provinces, there was a certain tolerance when different religious buildings functioned at the same time. Christian conversions could occur while preserving the special functions of the revered place. With the advent of Christianity in the Dalmatian provinces of the Roman and then the Byzantine Empire, very conservative ancient traditions were preserved there for a long time, which allowed these lands to organically survive the process of Christianization of ancient architecture.
Política de ajuste y lucha de clases. Uruguay, 2015-2019
Authors: Notaro Jorge
Published: March 2023

El objetivo del artículo es mostrar la relación de algunas decisiones de política económica en Uruguay, desde 2015 hasta 2019, con las reivindicaciones de grupos que se pueden considerar clases sociales de acuerdo a la definición adoptada. Se utilizó una metodología interdisciplinaria, heterodoxa, con planteamientos de Lukács (1969) considerando la sociedad como totalidad en movimiento y también de García (2006) con su definición de “sistema complejo” que orienta el análisis de las interrelaciones de la política económica, como una pieza de un engranaje social complejo y vasto, en un doble sentido, como condicionada y condicionante. Se concluyó que se implementó un ajuste heterodoxo, los objetivos fueron los característicos de estas políticas, pero la instrumentación incorporó innovaciones. La satisfacción del capital financiero se manifestó tanto en su discurso —expresado por el Fondo Monetario Internacional (FMI) y las calificadoras de riesgo— como en su práctica, por la creciente demanda de los bonos soberanos. La política que se instrumentalizó como estrategia de la alianza de clases dominantes hegemonizada por el capital financiero se impuso a pesar de la lucha de las organizaciones populares, en la pugna por la apropiación del excedente económico y la dominación.
Notas sobre la naturaleza de la investigación en medio ambiente y desarrollo en instituciones de educación universitaria de Colombia
Authors: León-Sicard Tomás
Published: March 2023

El texto analiza, desde el pensamiento ambiental latinoamericano, algunos aspectos teórico-prácticos de la investigación en la dupla ambiente-desarrollo en instituciones de educación superior en Colombia, partiendo de aceptar la complejidad de sus objetos o campos de estudio. Examina el rol de los esfuerzos personales en estos acercamientos, devela algunas características de lo que se podría considerar o no investigaciones ambientales y propone que éstas puedan ser consideradas, en una taxonomía operativa, como investigaciones interdisciplinares de contexto. Discute algunas particularidades de este tipo de investigación en las instituciones de educación superior, en particular el obligado enfoque teórico de algunos programas de posgrado, las exigencias y dificultades de la nivelación de conocimientos, los aportes de la consultoría y las dificultades para establecer líneas de investigación. Finalmente, se abordan las necesarias tensiones institucionales y personales que generan estos abordajes interdisciplinarios.

Published: March 2023

Background

Recovery from mental health and behavioral disorders is classically defined as a reduction in symptoms. More recent definitions see it as a process in which individuals improve their health, wellness and other life domains. The inclusion of gaming disorder (GD) in the 11th International Classification of Diseases in 2019 prompted growing interest in GD. However, relatively little is known about recovery from GD, and there is scant literature describing or assessing its course.

Objectives

This scoping review was designed to explore the state of the art on recovery from GD (e.g., terminology and measures used to assess recovery, main topics in studies about recovery from GD).

Methods

PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases were searched and critically reviewed according to PRISMA guidelines. We included empirical studies in English covering individuals across all age groups who met the diagnostic criteria of GD/internet gaming disorder (IGD) according to valid scales that relate to recovery or any change, and were published before February 2022.

Results

A total of 47 out of 966 studies met the inclusion criteria. Recovery as a concept is not explicitly mentioned in GD studies. Rather, changes in subjects' disorders are described in terms of decreases/reductions in symptom severity, or improvement/increases. These changes are primarily measured by scales that evaluate symptom reduction and/or improvement in GD and other psychopathologies.

Conclusions

The concept of recovery is included in the GD field but is not clearly mentioned or used. Therapists and researchers should aim to promote and integrate the notion of recovery in GD.

Background and aims

The World Health Organization's International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) includes Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder (CSBD), a new diagnosis that is both controversial and groundbreaking, as it is the first diagnosis to codify a disorder related to excessive, compulsive, and out-of-control sexual behavior. The inclusion of this novel diagnosis demonstrates a clear need for valid assessments of this disorder that may be quickly administered in both clinical and research settings.

Design

The present work details the development of the Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder Diagnostic Inventory (CSBD-DI) across seven samples, four languages, and five countries.

Setting

In the first study, data were collected in community samples drawn from Malaysia (N = 375), the U.S. (N = 877), Hungary (N = 7,279), and Germany (N = 449). In the second study, data were collected from nationally representative samples in the U.S. (N = 1,601), Poland (N = 1,036), and Hungary (N = 473).

Findings

Across both studies and all samples, results revealed strong psychometric qualities for the 7-item CSBD-DI, demonstrating evidence of validity via correlations with key behavioral indicators and longer measures of compulsive sexual behavior. Analyses from nationally representative samples revealed residual metric invariance across languages, scalar invariance across gender, strong evidence of validity, and utility in classifying individuals who self-identified as having problematic and excessive sexual behavior, as evidenced by ROC analyses revealing suitable cutoffs for a screening instrument.

Conclusion

Collectively, these findings demonstrate the cross-cultural utility of the CSBD-DI as a novel measure for CSBD and provide a brief, easily administrable instrument for screening for this novel disorder.
The Genesis of logic – Antiquity

Logic is one of the oldest sciences. The study of its origin is not only extremely interesting, but also important in the context of understanding its essence. Logic as a science arose in antiquity. Famous representatives of those times considered logic, pointing to its great importance and the ability to apply. Aristotle is considered to be the creator of logic as a scientific discipline. However, even before the activity of the Stagirite, other philosophers also dealt with logic. In this article, it was decided to present the history of logic, covering the epoch of antiquity. The basic merits of individual representatives of this period were discussed, taking into account their deliberations on logic. The authors of the study do not, however, pretend to comprehensively present the views of ancient thinkers. It is not easy to describe in detail the positions and reflections on the logic of individual representatives of the antiquity in one article. Due to the limited framework of the study, the article briefly discusses the indicated topics.

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought with it a phenomenon that had not been experienced before, namely social distancing. With the restrictions imposed by the authorities regarding free movement, a large part of companies and public institutions have had to quickly rethink their operational models and turn to telework. Thus, teleworking has become widespread and has become a safeguard tool for both employees and employers. In this article, I aim to analyze a series of aspects regarding teleworking, its regulation, the differences between teleworking and working from home, the rights and obligations of the parties, the support measures for employees and employers, the advantages and disadvantages of remote work, but also the practical trends in other states about the application of telework.
