El nuevo presidente + el nuevo Gobierno en Ucrania = ¿una nueva Ucrania?

Los problemas que el nuevo presidente y el nuevo Gobierno de Ucrania tienen que afrontar son difíciles y de solución a largo plazo. El futuro de una nueva Ucrania depende en mayor medida de la profundidad de los cambios internos que de la reforma de la política exterior. Después de la victoria de Víctor Yúshenko en las elecciones presidenciales en Ucrania, tras observar las escenas de protestas callejeras y sentir el entusiasmo popular en cuanto al futuro del país, es comprensible que las expectativas investidas en el nuevo Gobierno de Yulia Tymoshenko sean tan altas. Sin ninguna intención de minusvalorar la importancia histórica de los cambios políticos en Ucrania, el presente artículo sugiere que para convalidar el título de revolución el Gobierno tendrá que cumplir sus promesas electorales. Por otro lado, a la hora de analizar la situación en Ucrania es necesario tener una idea clara de la distribución de los diferentes intereses dentro del ámbito nacional y abstenerse de buscar paralelismos donde no los hay. Las elecciones en Ucrania y las elecciones en Irak son dos acontecimientos distintos en países que poco tienen en común

Ucrania a la espera de las elecciones del 26 de diciembre

Después de una crisis política, movilizaciones callejeras y negociaciones a puerta cerrada, Ucrania está a la espera de nuevas elecciones el 26 de diciembre. Los pronósticos apuntan a una victoria del candidato de la oposición, Víctor Yúshenko, cuya campaña ha sido reforzada por las recientes confirmaciones de su envenenamiento. Mientras tanto, se siguen planteando interrogantes sobre el papel que pueda jugar la “revolución naranja” con respecto al nuevo orden de las relaciones entre las fuerzas políticas y los intereses económicos, tanto dentro del país como fuera de las fronteras de Ucrania. Gracias a la decisión del Tribunal Supremo de Ucrania del 3 de diciembre y al voto parlamentario del 8 de diciembre ha sido posible la resolución de la crisis política en Ucrania. Se aprobó la enmienda constitucional abogada por el presidente saliente Leonid Kuchma, que transfiere ciertos poderes presidenciales al Parlamento nacional. A su vez, la oposición ha conseguido el importante cambio de la ley electoral que puede hacer posible la victoria de Yúshenko. Mientras tanto, Víctor Yanukovych parece haber perdido relevancia política a nivel nacional, por lo menos hasta que se celebre la tercera vuelta. Yúshenko ha declarado el fin de las movilizaciones callejeras y tendrá que pasar el resto de su campaña electoral negociando tanto con sus adversarios políticos como con los miembros más radicales de la oposición. Al mismo tiempo, para los medios de comunicación internacionales, la cara desfigurada del líder de la oposición y la nueva etapa en las relaciones entre Rusia y Occidente a que ha dado lugar las elecciones ucranianas parecen más importantes que la cuestión de un verdadero cambio político en Ucrania

Semióticas da ficção no ensino do Russo como língua estrangeira

One of the conditions for the spread of the Russian language is the education of foreign students in Russian universities. Consequently, the search for new approaches to teaching Russian as a foreign language becomes relevant. Practice has shown that literature is a guide to understanding the characteristics of the Russian language and the development of oral speech. The object of the study is a literary text in the system of teaching the Russian language. The purpose of this work is to search for the effective forms and methods of teaching foreign students the Russian language on the basis of literary text. The results of the study showed that the most effective form of training is the use of educational technologies based on practice-oriented aspects of semiotics. On the material of the Gogol's poem "Dead Souls" the technique of working with literary text is shown.Una de las condiciones para la difusión del idioma ruso es la educación de estudiantes extranjeros en universidades rusas.

Group-Level Emotion Recognition Using a Unimodal Privacy-Safe Non-Individual Approach

International audienceThis article presents our unimodal privacy-safe and non-individual proposal for the audio-video group emotion recognition subtask at the Emotion Recognition in the Wild (EmotiW) Challenge 2020 1. This sub challenge aims to classify in the wild videos into three categories: Positive, Neutral and Negative. Recent deep learning models have shown tremendous advances in analyzing interactions between people, predicting human behavior and affective evaluation. Nonetheless, their performance comes from individual-based analysis, which means summing up and averaging scores from individual detections, which inevitably leads to some privacy issues. In this research, we investigated a frugal approach towards a model able to capture the global moods from the whole image without using face or pose detection, or any individual-based feature as input. The proposed methodology mixes state-of-the-art and dedicated synthetic corpora as training sources. With an in-depth exploration of neural network architectures for group-level emotion recognition, we built a VGG-based model achieving 59.13% accuracy on the VGAF test set (eleventh place of the challenge). Given that the analysis is unimodal based only on global features and that the performance is evaluated on a real-world dataset, these results are promising and let us envision extending this model to multimodality for classroom ambiance evaluation, our final target application

ФОРМИРОВАНИЕ ЧЕЛОВЕЧЕСКОГО КАПИТАЛА ЗА СЧЕТ ПОВЫШЕНИЯ УРОВНЯ ЖИЗНИ НАСЕЛЕНИЯ НА ПРИМЕРЕ ЧУВАШСКОЙ РЕСПУБЛИКИ

Today the human capital is one of important and specific factors forming high and stable development both a particular region and entire country. Its qualitative formation depends on the impact of different factors, one of which is a society standard of living. Wanting intelligent and significant investments in people the government is unable to establish a high-efficient development of the economy.На сегодняшний день человеческий капитал является одним из важнейших, но и довольно специфических факторов, формирующим высокое и стабильное развитие как отдельного региона, так и страны в целом. Его качественное формирование в свою очередь зависит от воздействия множества различных факторов, одним из которых является уровень жизни населения. Без грамотных и значительных вложений в свой народ, государство не в состоянии выстроить высокоэффективное развитие всей своей экономики

Понимаю, но не одобряю: Как люди, избегающие новостей, и думскроллеры воспринимают друг друга?

This article examines two opposing media consumption trends-news avoidance and doomscrolling-through the lens of media environment and societal fragmentation. News avoidance refers to the conscious limitation of economic or socio-political content consumption to maintain emotional well-being, while doomscrolling is defined as compulsive and excessive attention to negative news. The study is based on 91 semi-structured interviews with individuals exhibiting these media consumption styles. News avoiders and doomscrollers demonstrate the ability to understand each other's logic through reflection on their own experiences and interactions with their social environment. However, both groups criticize the opposing media consumption style. Doomscrollers view news avoiders as passive and under-informed, whereas news avoiders accuse doomscrollers of addictive behavior. The interviews frequently reveal normative judgments about the necessity of consuming or avoiding news. Additionally, both groups perceive each other as more vulnerable to misinformation: news avoid-ers are associated with ignorance, while doomscrollers are seen as prone to believing false or biased media reports. A commonality between the two groups is anxiety about the future. The differences in news consumption volumes are explained by varied approaches to managing anxiety and assessing the usefulness of information. Thus, doomscrolling and news avoidance can be considered two sides of the same coin. However, these opposing media consumption styles contribute to further societal fragmentation, widening the gap in awareness of current events

Chronic Triple Infection with Hepatitis B, C, and D Viruses in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)

The purpose of this work was to study the features of the clinical course of mixed infections with hepatitis B+C+D viruses in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) (RS(Y)). Materials and Methods: The incidences of these infections were studied in the infectious disease department of the Yakutsk City Clinical Hospital. A total of 74 patients with chronic infection with hepatitis B, C, and D viruses were analyzed. The following markers of HBV (HBsAg, HBeAg, anti-HBcIgG, HBV DNA), HCV (anti-HCV) and HDV (anti-HDV, HDV RNA) were detected. According to PCR (n=35), HCV-RNA was detected in 29(82.8%) patients. In 65.8% of cases, HCV-RNA replication was observed in the absence of HDV-DNA. Mono-replication of HBV (HBV-DNA+, HCV-RNA-) was detected in 17.1% patients, mono-replication of HCV (HBV-DNA-, HCV-RNA+) in 65.7% patients and mixed replication of viruses C, D and/or G (HBV-DNA-, HCV-RNA+, HDV-RNA+/HGV-RNA+) in 17.1% patients. Results: The comparison of biochemical parameters of patients with chronic mixed hepatitis showed that more expressed changes are observed with the mixed replication than with the mono-replicative form of hepatitis
