Relationship between Population and Ethno-Cultural Heritage—Case Study: Crișana, Romania

Crișana Region is one of the most representative and wide historical regions of Romania, which encompasses several “lands” and ethnographic areas, each of them being defined by a series of features, among which those of demographic nature (ethnicity, religion) and ethno-cultural features stand out. In this context, the aim of the current study is to identify, assess and emphasize the relationship between the demographic features and those related to the ethno-cultural heritage. The accomplishment of this work required the use of the multi-criteria analysis method, successfully applied in various activity areas, a method which is characterized by a high level of complexity. The obtained results emphasized the spatial distribution on ‘territorial administrative unit’ (TAU) level of the aggregated synthetic values and of the relationship types which were determined between population and ethno-cultural heritage in Crișana Region, Romania.

The Risk, Need, and Responsivity Relevance of Working Alliance in a Sexual Offense Treatment Program: Its Intersection With Psychopathy, Diversity, and Treatment Change.

The current study examined the self-reported working alliance of men attending a high intensity sexual offense treatment program and its associations with psychopathy, sexual violence risk, treatment change, and recidivism, in a Canadian sample of 317 incarcerated men followed up an average of approximately 10 years post release. Working Alliance Inventory (WAI; Horvath & Greenberg, 1989) self-reported total, Task, Bond, and Goal scores were positively correlated with treatment related changes in risk, and inversely associated with Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R; Hare, 1991; Wang & Hare, 2003) scores. The Affective facet of the PCL-R, representing the callous-unemotional features of the syndrome, uniquely predicted lower Bond and Goal scores controlling for the other facets. Cox regression survival analyses demonstrated that sexual violence risk predicted increased sexual recidivism while change predicted decreased sexual recidivism controlling for PCL-R total score; however, WAI scores (particularly the Goal component) were also unexpectedly associated with increased sexual recidivism. For violent recidivism, psychopathy, risk, and change incremented the prediction of general violence, while the WAI was not significantly associated with this outcome. A set of parallel analyses, stratified by Indigenous ethnocultural heritage, demonstrated some continuity, but also potential areas of difference, in substantive findings. Risk, need, responsivity implications of the working alliance for the treatment of high psychopathy correctional clientele, and how this may intersect with Indigenous heritage, are discussed.

Адаптация культурно-образовательной деятельности музея для незрячих и слабовидящих посетителей

The purpose of the article is to identify the methodology of adaptation of cultural and educational programs for blind and visually impaired children. Socialization and inculturation of children with disabilities is especially important, today various socio-cultural institutions are taking steps in this direction, museums are working to update the heritage. However, little attention is paid to the ethnocultural heritage. While it is important to present this layer of heritage, especially in the multicultural regions of Russia. It is necessary to develop a methodology for the representation of ethnic heritage within the framework of cultural and educational programs. It is established that such programs should be based on the principle of multisensory perception, it is necessary to use all compensatory senses, activate auditory, sensory, kinesthetic channels of perception. Tactile inspection is realized through the creation of relief illustrations, tactile copies, replicas, as well as the formation of an interactive fund. Individual texts of interpreters are constructed considering the requirements of typhlokommentation.

Polish ethnocultural landscape of Podillya: structure, use, protection of cultural heritage

Introduction. The study of the structure and features of the ethnocultural heritage functioning is an important scientific problem, which is especially important for the implementation of regional and national strategies for sustainable development and optimization of the quality of the country's environment. It is also important to solve the problem of traditional natural resource management of Podillya as a part of Eastern Europe, where a retrospective polyethnic development vector was formed, which has manifested in the formation of the Polish ethnocultural heritage. Problem formulation. The importance of professional analysis of assessment and assessment of ethnocultural landscape resource potential is based on justification of its future effective use, particularly, in the design of a regional network of ethnocultural protected areas, which aligns with the concept of sustainable development of Ukraine. Analysis of recent research and publications. Eastern European geographers have been developing the concept of the ethnocultural landscape since the end of the XX century and the following directions have been formed: 1) ethnocultural landscape is analyzed as cultural landscape; 2) ethnocultural landscape in anthropogenic landscape studies; 3) protection of ethnocultural artifacts; 4) as a part of humanistic geography. Highlighting previously unsolved parts of the overall problem. These studies will make it possible to evaluate the degree of Polish ethnocultural heritage influence on tourism development in Eastern Europe. This will allow to development of practical recommendations for the preservation and use of ethnocultural heritage in modern socio-economic conditions, the implementation of targeted programs involving EU funds. Formulating the purpose of the paper. The study aims to study the problem field of individual components of regional ethnocultural landscape science, its theoretical and practical potential, and its use in solving problems of nature management, namely Polish ethnocultural landscapes and relevant cultural heritage. Presentation of the main research material. The general regularities of formation of the estate, fortification and industrial landscapes, their ethnocultural features, and features of management are allocated. Proposals for optimization and intensification of nature use of Polish ethnocultural landscapes through protection and museification (regional landscape parks, open-air museums) of Polish historical and cultural artifacts of the region have been formed. Polish ethnocultural landscapes of Podillya are analyzed as an object of ethnocultural tourism. Thus, they will preserve biodiversity, create a basis for a harmonious combination of environmental and educational activities with the opportunity to get acquainted with the Polish historical and cultural heritage of the region. Conclusions. The unification of Polish ethnocultural artifacts in the villages and small towns of the region contributes to the transformation of heritage into a tourist product, which leads to interest in the preservation of monuments, increases the number of visitors. Given the number and spatial distribution of Polish heritage sites in the region, the creation of a landscape cadastre is one of the top priorities in addressing their protection and monitoring. Ethnocultural objects of Polish origin are usually the core of the planning structure of small towns or villages in the region. When attracting funds from Polish and Ukrainian investors, a profit that will significantly exceed the invested funds is possible. Ethnocultural heritage is one of the priorities of international tourism in the world's leading countries.

THE PHENOMENON OF WRITTEN DIALECT TEXTS (NAIVE POETRY OF NORTHERN PODLACHIA)

The article examines the issue of works of naive literature as written monuments of the dialect language. Based on the materials of the ethnolinguistic-dialectological expedition of 2005, nine poems of two authors from the vicinity of Bielsk Podlaski – Olha Onatsyk (born in 1921, Yagushtovo village) and Volodymyr Sosna (born in 1937, Pashkivshchyna village) – were introduced into scientific circulation and analyzed in linguistic and thematic terms. From a psychological point of view, the desire to write poetry arose among numerous naive poets of Northern Podlachia mainly because of the desire to fill a kind of lacuna associated with the functional limitation of the native language. In the case of such poets, usually retired peasants, the value of their works for humanitarian studies is determined not only by the representation of the peasant picture of the world, but also (or primarily) by the language itself. The archaic dialects used by them deserve the special attention as one of the most important parts of ethnoculture. The themes and stylistic means of the presented works confirm the researchers' conclusion that such poetry "stands between literature and folklore". The works of both amateur poets are presented according to manuscripts and parallel audio recording (author's reading) – this approach allows to avoid subjectivism when evaluating dialectal phenomena, primarily phonetic ones. Particular attention is paid to the unique dialect features in the manuscripts. The principles of publishing works of Podlachian naive literature written in Latin graphics are proposed: accurate transmission of manuscripts, parallel transliteration in Cyrillic, commenting on unclear lexemes (narrow-local dialectisms, borrowings). The importance of preserving the ethno-cultural heritage of the Ukrainians of Northern Podlachia is emphasized. Systematic research, the publication of ethnolinguistic descriptions, dialect texts and dictionaries will allow us to create a reliable picture of the current state of the dialects of the Buh and Narva interfluve, the last area where Ukrainians live compactly on the territory of Poland.

Аксиологические аспекты этнокультурного воспитания студентов в образовательном процессе вуза

The development of society is inextricably linked with its past, traditions, way of life, therefore, today, one of the important tasks of education is the upbringing of a spiritually and morally developed personality with a formed civic position, ready to understand and realize traditional Russian values. Currently, the unique, original and rich traditions of national cultures are gradually being forgotten, as a result of which the student youth pays little attention to the peculiarities of their people, which threatens to lose their national identity. The education system should take into account the experience of folk pedagogy, rely on the culture and national traditions of the region, promote their revival and restoration. The purpose of the article: to reveal the axiological components of ethno-cultural education in the professional training of students in the direction of “Pedagogical education (with two training profiles)”. Ethno-cultural education involves introducing students to the ethno-cultural heritage of the traditions of their native land and the peoples of the world. The author presents and substantiates the model of ethno-cultural education of students — future teachers. The ethnocultural education of the future teacher based on folk traditions and folk arts and crafts is considered by the author as a factor in preserving cultural identity, ethnic mentality, national values of the people.

Use of wood by indigenous peoples of the Eastern Amazon, Brazil

Summary The Brazilian Amazon has the world’s largest concentration of indigenous American peoples, but many environmental threats have affected the preservation of this enormous human ethnocultural heritage. This study identified the species and studied the different uses of wood by two indigenous ethnic groups in Southeastern Pará, Brazil, namely the “Gavião” and “Suruí”. Ten taxa were identified, distributed in eight botanical families, with five being identified to genus and five to species levels. The wood of Bertholletia excelsa, an endangered forest species in Brazil, is important in the material culture of the Suruí indigenous people. The indigenous ethnic groups studied preferentially use medium density wood for building and high-density wood for hunting and warfare artefacts. The technological properties of wood justify its use by the indigenous peoples studied. We caution that the increasing environmental threats in Indigenous Lands within the Brazilian Amazon harm the preservation of the ethnocultural heritage of indigenous peoples.

Confessional identity and modern religious practices of the Chuvash

The paper discusses the conformity of the declared confessional identity of the Orthodox and unbaptized Chuvash with actual religious practices common for both groups. The paper reveals features of ritual practices, shows their role in the formation of the confessional identity of the group and its members. In accordance with the tasks, specific ritual practices that exist in various confessional environments are analyzed, the state of religiosity of individual local groups of the Orthodox and unbaptized Chuvash is characterized. The research is based on the authors field materials collected in rural settlements of the Samara Region, the Republics of Tatarstan and Bashkortostan and the Chuvash Republic in 20202021. The results of the study showed that the religious practices of both groups do not fully correspond to the declared religious identity. In the practices of the Orthodox Chuvash, a significant layer of views, prescriptions and behavioral practices dating back to the traditional religion is preserved, while the unbaptized Chuvash have Christian elements that have penetrated in the course of interaction with the Orthodox environment, which makes it possible to determine the religiosity of these groups, in some cases, as syncretism, in others as dual faith. Differences in confessional identity with current religious practices are due to the partial blurring of confessional borders as a result of religious conversion, transformation of ritual practices, and perception by communities of both religious systems as a common ethno-cultural heritage.

Ethnocultural Themes in the Media: Typological Review

The relevance of the study is due to the ethnocultural diversity of the Russian Federation, which is reflected in the media, the action of the Strategy of the State National Policy of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2025, which, along with the existing directions, provides information support for state national policy, and the fact that thematically 2022 is the Year of folk art and intangible cultural heritage of the peoples of Russia. The article presents the results of qualitative analysis of media materials representing the traditional culture of the peoples of the Russian Federation. The empirical basis of the study is materials of all types of federal media for the period from 2013 to the present: periodical printing, television, radio, news agencies. On the basis of typological, institutional, functional analysis, the components of ethnoculture reflected in traditional media (traditions, customs, holidays, national cuisine, national costume, crafts and crafts) were identified, methods of representing the unique culture of the peoples of Russia (genres and formats, inclusion of information about the ethnoculture of the peoples of Russia in media materials with a different main theme). The functioning of ethnocultural topics is emphasized in television programs, the content of which is aimed at the development of domestic tourism, as well as in television reports on political topics. The article emphasizes that ethnoculture is an integral part of the life of the ethnos, which determines its philosophy and mental features. Media reflecting the specifics of the traditional culture of peoples are a tool for disseminating knowledge about their history and culture, a resource for fixing and storing information about the ethnocultural diversity of our country. Based on the definition of guardians of intangible culture, laid down in the Draft Law “On Intangible Ethno-Cultural Heritage of the Russian Federation”, this category is legitimate to include the institution of the media, which is of great importance in the formation of ethnographic literacy of the population and ensuring interethnic harmony. The topic is promising in the aspect of studying the media representation of the traditional culture of the peoples of the Russian Federation directly in the Year of Folk Art and the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Peoples and the subsequent qualitative and quantitative analysis of the reflection of ethnoculture in the media.
