Creatividad, identidad y subjetividad de personas con enfermedades crónicas: Estado del arte

This article presents a state of the art that integrates the review of fifty articles of the results of studies that, in the last decade, investigated creativity in relation to the identity and subjectivity of children, adolescents and young people living with chronic diseases .The document is part of a doctoral research that aims to identify the transformations that creativity undergoes in relation to the development of identity and subjectivity of children living with chronic diseases, such as HIV/AIDS, cancer and diabetes, given that these are the diseases that Sontag (2008) relates as the diseases that cause the greatest social and economic impacts and that modify the life project of people in the long term. From the methodological point of view, bibliometric data constructed from specialized databases such as PubMed, APA, Science Direct, Proquest, Redalyc, Scielo and Scopus were approached; subsequently a critical interpretive analysis of these investigations was carried out from a qualitative perspective. The results show that the use of art as a therapeutic strategy facilitates coping with the disease; however, relevant effects are also evident in the family and relational system of those who live with these diseases. It is also found that a large part of the research, as suggested by Sontag (2008), assumes diseases as an enemy, making use of the language of war, in addition to locating whoever experiences the disease as a battle hero or as a survivor when it is possible to go through the disease in a satisfactory way, however, it is also evident that this position implies a struggle of the subject with himself. Also, some of the authors state that the disease facilitates the recognition of abilities, tastes and skills of which one was not aware before experiencing it. Through these investigations, the understanding of the importance of relationships with peers as a key aspect for the development of self-regulation is broadened, which facilitates self-care practices far from victimization and family overprotection. Creativity has been understood mainly from artistic exercises, art-therapy and the use of some resources such as painting, drawing, music and dance for the approach to the subject who lives with chronic diseases, from the research exercises themselves, but also from an attempt to allow the subject to establish diverse communications with his context and to establish communication bridges with himself and with his new life circumstances. However, this perspective leaves aside the proposal of Lavie, Narayan and Rosaldo (1993), who argue that creativity is the human capacity to respond to daily circumstances in different ways, which allows expanding the field of action of what creative, facilitating that it is linked to the daily lives of the subjects and other ways of displaying creativity are explored, from relationships, from the practices of self-recognition and self-care regarding the same disease.It is also found that chronic diseases are related to metaphors that force the subject who experiences them to assume the role of warrior, war hero or war victim; these postures assume burdens for the subject and, although in some cases they help to assume the disease with a spirit of improvement, they also increase responsibility, guilt and difficulties in cases in which the disease is not overcome. https://doi.org/10.16888/interd.2023.40.1.3

Barbara Harriss-White. The Political Economy of Agricultural Markets in South India: Masters of the Countryside. New Delhi: Sage Publications, 1996. 425 pages. Hardbound. Indian Rs 395.00.

The primary concern in this book is to enquire into the political economy of the marketing of dryland agricultural products, and the volume presents an analysis and discussion of the fieldwork carried out in Coimbatore district in Tamil Nadu, India, assessing the relevance of theory in the real world. The approach followed is a combination of institutional economics and political economy. The difference between the “new political economy” and the “old political economy” is explained, and the latter has been selected as relevant for the current project. “Old political economy”, basically concerned with power, challenges conventional research on the economics of agricultural markets. It is defined as an interdisciplinary agenda, exerting power for determining economic structure and behaviour. The author states that marketing in agricultural products is not a simple transaction between the producer and the consumer. Rather, it is explained better by the diversity and complexity of the marketing structure, institutions, and behaviour of the marketing system , looked at in a political-economy framework.

A Threat from the Inside: The Appointment of Judges of the Peruvian Constitutional Court

The article analyses the restriction of independent courts and their compositions using the example of appointment of judges of the Peruvian Constitutional Court. The recent appointment is a threat to the Peruvian de­mocracy and, more importantly, that its source is the Peruvian legal system itself. In the end, the author states that deficiencies in the Peruvian legal system that hinders the public justification of the appointment process of the Constitutional Court’s judges, because it makes the accessibility of the reasons for appointing them inadmissibly dependent on the will of the parliamentarians. The fact that constitutional interpretation, a partial delegation of the exer­cise of public reason, is unjustifiably held by judges renders its normative character illegit­imate and hurts a democracy.

Legal regulation of religious education in Ukraine: Implementation of the separation of the church and other religious organizations from state educational institutions

This article, via an analysis of legislation, law-application practice, and individual elements of statistical information, reveals the implementation of the constitutional provision on the separation in Ukraine of the church (religious organizations) from the state and the school from the church. The authors state that the requirements of the constitutional legislation are not fully observed, and religious education at schools depends on religious organizations to a significant extent. The intensity and depth of the influence of religious organizations on educational institutions differs however at various levels of education and in different institutions. At the level of pre-school and general secondary education, due to state standardization and control, the sphere of autonomy of religious organizations in providing educational services is sufficiently narrow. At the level of higher education, in institutions founded by religious organizations, the educational process is carried out under the control of the religious organization itself, and the state and communal institutions (which train specialists majoring in theology) are under the aegis of the Ministry of Education and Science. Higher religious education (both that obtained in private institutions and that obtained in state or communal institutions) is de facto not separated from religious organizations, although the Constitution of Ukraine declares this. The confessional nature of theology is manifested in the content of academic courses and the organization of the educational process. In practice, however, the cooperation of churches with educational institutions is based on the need for the former to determine or at least influence the content of the training of their future ministers; for educational institutions, cooperation is a powerful tool for ensuring the employment of graduates of educational programs, and, respectively, directly affects the number of applicants.

THE PROBLEM OF CONSTITUTIONAL REGULATION OF CZECH-SLOVAK RELATIONS IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA IN 1946 – 1948

The article is devoted to the problem of the constitutional regulation of Czech-Slovak relations in Czechoslovakia from 1946 to 1948. The lower chronological limit of the publication is dictated by the adoption of the third Prague Agreement, which essentially turned Czechoslovakia into a unitary state with a strong central government, but at the same time preserved elements of an asymmetric administrative-territorial system. Adopting the new Constitution determines the upper chronological limit of the article on May 9, 1948, which proclaimed the Czechoslovak People's Democratic Republic as a single state of two equal peoples, Czechs, and Slovaks still failed to resolve the Slovak question. The research methodology in the article is based on general scientific and special scientific methods, which allowed the author to avoid inconsistency, imprecision, and detachment from the objective historical process during the research. The article analyzes the views and projects of the leading parties of the Third Czechoslovak Republic on the solution to the Slovak question in the state through the constitutional regulation of Czech-Slovak relations. The author states that the Czech (Czechoslovak) political parties advocated a return to the unitary system. At the same time, the Slovak Democratic Party in 1946-1948 remained a supporter of the reconstruction of Czechoslovakia on a federal basis. The article finds out that the usurpation of power by the communists due to the February coup d'état of 1948 was the decisive factor that influenced the constitutional settlement of Czech-Slovak relations in Czechoslovakia, based on Marxist-Leninist principles, the specific forms of the state system of the Czechs and Slovaks. Of course, under such circumstances, it was impossible to talk about the final solution to the Slovak question in Czechoslovakia.

W kleszczach transnarodowości. 1983

Netflix, which is the worldwide American streaming platform available globally, produces numerous serious not only in the United State but outside the country as well. Those specific projects have wide audience all around the world, and, what needs to be emphasized, are particularly appealing to the users in each region respectively. However, the 1983, first Polish series by Netflix Original, has met quite cold reception especially in the country of its production. In this paper author states that this kind of the series’ perception stems from its transnational formula which in this case results in disappointing effects in several dimensions: preproduction, implementation, and further publicity.

On Hooke’s Rule of Nature

Lectures de Potentia Restitutiva or Of Spring: Explaining the Power of Springing Bodies (1678) is an important book for the history of science. This book is better known for Hooke’s presentation of the law that bears his name. This law, or “Rule of Nature” as the author states, is commonly taught within the context of the analysis of elastic bodies and their deformations. However, the framework in which this law was introduced goes beyond the context in which it is currently taught. Alongside the presentation of Hooke’s experiments with springs, the author established his vibratory theory of matter, in which the concepts of congruence and incongruence, initially presented in his Micrographia (1665), would be defined in greater detail. These concepts aimed to theoretically justify the movements of attraction and repulsion in nature. This paper seeks to study the Lectures de Potentia Restitutiva once again to better understand Hooke’s thoughts about the rule which bears his name and his conception of gravity, which the author considered a force. Here Hooke’s definitions of body and motion will be presented, as well as his actual objective when he formulated the so-called Hooke’s Law. As we will see, Hooke intended to create a “philosophical scale” to measure the gravitational attraction between bodies. By considering his previous publications, such as An attempt to prove the motion of the Earth from Observations or Micrographia: or some Physiological Descriptions of Minute Bodies, or even unpublished works such as On the inflection of a direct motion into a curve by supervening Attractive principle, it becomes clear that Hooke was already opening a path toward an understanding of gravity before Newton’s Principia (1687) were published. By taking into account the controversy between Isaac Newton and Robert Hooke, we also intend to strengthen the idea that Hooke was an indispensable contributor to the elaboration of a law of universal gravitation. In addition to all this, it will also be argued that the conclusions achieved by Hooke in Of Spring may have also anticipated Newton’s third law of motion.

Compound feed industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan: modernization trends

Relevance – feed industry is important in providing agricultural, industrial enterprises, farms with necessary and high-quality feed. Granular compound feeds are in great demand, which can significantly reduce their losses, consumption, eliminate pathogenic microorganisms. The basis for production of livestock products is supply of first-class fodder. Purpose – the issues of competitiveness of domestic agricultural products, achievement of which is possible with the use of new highly efficient technologies for production of combined feed, are considered. Methods – comparative and system analysis, statistical and economic, logical generalization. Results – the article notes that equipping the resource base in the required volumes is required for proportional and balanced development of farms for processing of grain products and livestock industry - main components of grain and meat product subcomplexes and the link between them. The directions of development of feed industry in Kazakhstan are shown. Emphasis was placed on the need to increase the capacity of large manufacturing enterprises to provide feed products on industrial scale, as well as manufacture of dry nutritional feed mixtures for cattle, pigs in feed mills and factories using their own raw materials, mineral and vitamin supplements. In the republic, the basis for production of high-protein haylage is fodder grain, the value and significance of which are determined from two positions: cereals are used in human nutrition and for obtaining valuable animal protein. Conclusions – the authors state that production volumes, quality and assortment of grain fodder do not meet the needs of livestock sector in concentrated feeds that are complete in terms of nutrition and affordability. New feed mills are being put into operation in the country to supply Kazakhstani agricultural producers with compound feed, without purchasing imported products.

KERNEL’S ESTIMATION OF GINI INDEX BASED ON THE VARYING BANDWIDTH PARAMETER

Most of the measures of income inequality are derived from the Lorenz curve, and many authors state that the Gini index is the best single measure of inequality. The present paper reviews some of the theorical properties of the Lorenz curve and provides a nonparametric estimate of the Gini index and the almost sure convergence of this estimate. And to confirm the performance of the estimator, an application on real data was carried out.

World experience of investing in agriculture: adaptation to modern realities of the Republic of Kazakhstan

The goal – is to develop proposals for adapting the world experience in financing agriculture to the realities of Kazakhstani economy. Methods – statistical, comparative analysis, comparison, generalization of results. Results – positive aspects of the world practice of investing in agricultural sector and possibility of using its levers and tools in domestic conditions have been identified. Emphasis is placed on one of the main problems of competitiveness of any state - ensuring self-sufficiency of the national economic system. The features of attracting investments in agro-industrial complex of the republic, current state and trends in expansion of investment activity are analyzed. Measures for the effective management of inv estment processes are proposed. The problems of investment provision of the country's AIC are shown. As a result of the lack of effective market infrastructure, high riskiness, and relatively weak dynamics of making profit from investments, agro-industrial production has a low investment attractiveness, which, in turn, repels a significant part of investment resources to other industries that quickly pay off. The international experience has been studied and directions of public support for agriculture in foreign countries have been determined. Conclusions – in order to attract and develop investment funds, it is necessary to use regulatory methods aimed at improving the effectiveness of investment activities, which must correspond to the appropriate level of economic development of the State. The authors state that the guarantee of food security directly depends on the amount of investment in agricultural sector, which allows creating additional jobs, taking a leading position in the world market, and increasing export potential. Justification of investment policy in each State should be the result of a thoughtful and purposeful choice, taking into account the distinctive features of potential investors and specifics of particular economic situation.

The goal - is a comprehensive analysis of the prerequisites and factors for socioeconomic growth in the Turkestan region and its attractiveness to rural tourism. Methods – observation and collection of information, analysis and synthesis, a systematic approach. Results – the article is devoted to the study of ecotourism problems in the region. The main tendencies of its organization are outlined. It has been established that this vector is developing progressively, based on existing world traditions and has Kazakhstani specifics associated with its features. The potential of tourism service sector and its role in modernization of the economy of this administrative-territorial unit is revealed. A SWOT-analysis of the state of tourism industry, classification of areas according to agritourism significance is presented. The effectiveness and expediency of expanding the sphere of ecological tourism are shown. Conclusions – for the first time, agritourism services have become widespread in Akmola, North Kazakhstan regions. It is noted that poss ibilities of the region allow to increase the flow of tourists, increase their interest in agritourism facilities, develop organic farming, contribute to the growth of the number of small businesses, production of environmentally friendly products of personal subsidiary plots and farms in rural areas, creation of additional jobs, decrease in the outflow of local population to cities, preservation and popularization of local architectural monuments, elements of art and customs of the people, strengthening the position of tourism business, paying special attention to tourism activities. The leisure industry has a large reserve of natural and human resources. However, as the authors state, farmers need information and advisory support from travel companies, including electronic means.

History and prospects of cooperation between Russia, India and Bangladesh in the field of nuclear energy

This article attempts to analyze the cooperation of the Russian Federation (RF) with India and the People’s Republic of Bangladesh (PRB) in the field of nuclear energy in the light of its history, current state and near-term prospects. The author states that recently (since 2009-2014) the sectoral interaction has significantly strengthened and implementation of the main joint nuclear projects has intensified which gives a positive effect for the bilateral relations. Mutually beneficial and successful economic projects provide consensus and mutual understanding in the context of the rapid changes in the global geopolitical situation in 2022. The Ukrainian crisis and the large-scale economic sanctions against Russia led to a negative impact on the economies of most countries of the world. The issues of energy security in this situation have become one of the key factors. The continuation and development of contacts in the nuclear field becomes fundamentally important providing the new opportunities for the countries of South Asia (SA) to strengthen their own security and independence. The gathered partnership experience of the relevant cooperation between RF and SA in the nuclear field can contribute to the intensification of political ties between countries which are quite important in the light of fundamental changes in the world order. The relevance of the study implies studying the possibilities of the practical application of the gathered experience and potential of interaction between RF, India and Bangladesh aimed at determination of the optimal ways and directions of cooperation in the nuclear field and its further intensification.

Expression of Concern: RyR1 and RyR3 isoforms provide distinct intracellular Ca2+ signals in HEK 293 cells.

There was an error published in Fig. 6 in J. Cell Sci. (2002) 115, 2497-2504 (doi:10.1242/jcs.115.12.2497).There is a duplication of a segment of signal in Fig. 6A. According to the authors, this was due to an error in the process of assembling the trace. They made every effort to find the original data, but, as the work dates back more than twenty years, they were unable to recover the original files.The authors state that this error does not significantly impact the interpretation of the article, the data reliability or the reader's understanding of the paper and that the scholarly integrity of the article remains intact. “Data reported in Fig. 6A and B aimed to illustrate variability of spontaneous Ca2+ signals in two RyR3-expressing cells; spontaneous Ca2+ release events are also reported in Fig. 5 and duplication of signal in Fig. 6Ab does not impact on the main interpretation of the article which was that HEK293 cells expressing RyR3 display spontaneous Ca2+ release events and those expressing RyR1 do not. This suggested that, at least in these cells, isoform-specific functional properties may contribute to generation of intracellular Ca2+ signals.”Without the original data, it is difficult to determine how the issues arose, so the journal is publishing this note to alert readers to our concerns, with the agreement of the authors.

Concepts and main signs of administrative responsibility: analysis of modern administrative and legal literature

In the article, the author states some principle theses regarding the essence of administrative responsibility. In particular, it was determined that in modern concepts of administrative responsibility, the problem of assessing law from general systemic and philosophical positions, which reflects the general laws and principles of society, integrating the substantive and phenomenal characteristics of socio-legal reality, which includes theoretical and methodological criteria for assessing law in relation to absolute (legal substance) and derived order (optimal requirements of social reality, concentrated in traditional mentality).
 The author supports the thesis that one of the defects of the administrative-delict legislation is the normative consolidation of provisions regarding the possibility of establishing the composition of a misdemeanor and responsibility for its commission, as well as the application of relevant norms outside the Criminal Code. This approach to the construction of legislation on administrative responsibility is a condition for the occurrence of collisions, which actually discredit both the legislator and the law enforcer. Emphasis is placed on the fact that administrative offenses are socially harmful, anti-social phenomena. Recognizing administrative offenses as socially harmful, and not socially dangerous, is the criterion by which it becomes possible to distinguish between crimes and administrative offenses.
 On the basis of the above, the author believes that administrative responsibility is a complex legal mechanism of the state’s response to the manifestation of administrative wrongdoing, which contains material and legal grounds and the procedural order of proceedings in cases of administrative offenses. The basis of administrative responsibility is differentiated administrative wrongdoing, composition of administrative offense; administrative penalty (substantive legal aspect) and procedural form.

While no small task, they developed Ten Commandments of Biblical Economics as a framework

N.M. Yadrintsev and A.F. Barkov in 1874: «A New Period of Life, Full of Personal Happiness and Major Social Success»

This article considers a significant period in the biography of Nikolai Mikhailovich Yadrintsev. In the high summer of 1874 in St. Petersburg the famous publicist got married to Adelaide Fedorovna Barkova. The authors emphasize that with the beginning of his family life N. M. Yadrintsev intensified his creative activity, having a reliable rear and household arrangements.

Yadrintsev changed, he felt a burst of energy in his activity.

ПЕДАГОГІЧНИЙ ТАНДЕМ У ПРОЦЕСІ ПІДГОТОВКИ МАЙБУТНІХ УЧИТЕЛІВ ПОЧАТКОВОЇ ШКОЛИ В УМОВАХ ЗМІШАНОГО НАВЧАННЯ

The article reveals the peculiarities of the implementation of a pedagogical tandem in the process of preparation future primary school teachers in the conditions of blended education. This process is presented on the example of the study of the educational component «Methodology of teaching the Ukrainian language in primary school». The transition to a qualitatively new level of building relationships between the participants of the educational process, in particular the provision of pedagogical partnership in the «teacher-student» and «student-student» systems based on dialogue, has been demonstrated. Attention is focused on the direction of the teacher's activity towards the organization and establishment of a pedagogical tandem (activation of the creative and personal potential of future teachers, modeling of practice-oriented situations and learning to solve them with the help of methodical tasks). It is important when studying the discipline «Methodology of teaching the Ukrainian language in primary school» to involve students of higher education in reflective activities (stimulating students to self-determination and formation of a personal «self-concept»; systematic implementation of pedagogical reflection of one's own actions). The author states that there is a change in the functions of the teacher's activity, where the pedagogical tandem becomes a priority in the process of preparation future primary school teachers in the conditions of blended education. Educational interaction is carried out in principle and mainly extraterritorially (that is, at a distance that does not involve a direct pedagogical tandem face-to-face, since the participants are outside the boundaries of possible direct cooperation), and in the case when personal presence in certain educational institutions is not mandatory binding. The article emphasizes that the quality of professional education largely depends on the directions and ways of improving practice-oriented preparation of students of higher education, which is based on a rational synergistic combination of traditional and innovative, in particular, electronic forms of education. Accordingly, teachers should flexibly respond to these challenges and ensure the rights of students to quality education in the conditions of russian aggression. Key words: pedagogical tandem, practice-oriented preparing of future primary school teachers, blended education, methodical tasks, partnership pedagogy.
