<p>My name is Alberto and I am starting the eighth semester of my Bachelor’s Degree in Agrogenomic Science in the ENES. The pandemic emphasized how scarcely updated in digital technologies professors are and also displayed the needs that many of us students have. These needs did not improve for everyone. Three days before the voluntary quarantine in Mexico due to COVID-19, I travelled abroad, to a work stay period in the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, in Peru. Right before the trip, the borders of that country closed, and I could not carry out my exchange. Upon my return to Mexico, I saw a very different scenario than what I was used to seeing. I didn’t know what my educational situation would be like, and I had no idea if I would be set back a semester of if I would continue normally. Luckily, I was able to take the corresponding subjects, finishing my semester in a proper and timely manner. In terms of my subjects, I didn’t learn much. My professors weren’t prepared, and many didn’t even know much about certain virtual technologies. Only the teacher that gave us Biology of Systems generated a different strategy to the others, providing a space of adequate and proper learning. My seventh semester was not bad at all, and I even adapted quite well to the situation. I began with my social service and the subject of Investigation Work. I believe that my planning with my professor was key to not becoming overwhelmed with activities and giving the project the attention it needed. I was able to finish the semester with a thoroughly completed project, without any pressure and it was something I enjoyed quite a bit. I hope that this eighth semester, which is about to begin, is just as comforting and I learn plenty. Now, about the outside of the educational sphere, I am a boy with diverse activities and interests, such as participating in social projects in the state of Guanajuato. The pandemic forced all the events and activities I participated in to shut down. Being at home in lockdown after a life of movement, in which I travelled up and down the city, caused a bit of confusion, fatigue and anxiety. Although I continue with my activities at a distance, I can no longer enjoy being in touch with people, seeing children be happy, teaching, carrying out all these activities. I don’t feel the same through a computer. I feel highly unmotivated to do all those things I used to do. In my family, we have all been looking after ourselves as much as possible. My family runs a business, and I am the only child that studies, at the moment. As much as we would like to stay home, we can’t. For us there is no ‘Home Office’. If we don’t sell, we don’t eat. Unfortunately, for over five months we were unable to go out to work, since the government would have fined us and even sanctioned us in harsher ways. During those five months, there was no income and my father had to ask for several loans, which only sank us further into debt. After those five months we went back to work, but sales were scarce. We were not making enough to pay back our debts. Regarding health, we are a few of the lucky ones. We have not been infected and all our family members are healthy. Only my grandmother got infected, but it never went past a little flu. All the students, teachers and other people related to science have different stories. This is mine.</p>

The history of the creation of the agent network of the Russian Empire has not found comprehensive coverage in scientific publications so far. The existing research referred to specific names or mention private facts. This predetermined the relevance of the work. The object of the study is the Russian agents in China in general and in Chinese Shanghai, in particular. The subject is the study of peculiarities of the first attempts in creating Russian agent network in the city. The aim of the work is to analyze the attempt to create a network of Russian illegal agents in Shanghai in 1906–1908. The lack of materials on the problem in scientific and popular scientific publications predetermined the use of previously unknown or little-known archival sources. This is the correspondence of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Russian Imperial envoy in Beijing and the Russian Consul in Shanghai stored in the funds of the State Archive of the Russian Federation (SARF). The main conclusion of the study was the remark about the lack of scientific elaboration, at the moment, the history of official, legal and illegal agents of the Russian Empire in Shanghai, China. Private findings suggest that, judging by the available data, creation of a serious network of agents in the city during the Russian Empire failed. The reasons for this, presumably, were several: the lack of qualified agents with knowledge of Chinese or, at least, English, who could work effectively; the lack of funds for the maintenance of agents, a small number of Russian citizens, the remoteness of Shanghai from the Russian-Chinese border, etc. A network of agents will be created in the city by the Soviet authorities by the middle of the third decade of the 20th century, and Soviet illegal agents began to work in the early 1920s. The History of Soviet agents in China and Shanghai, in particular, is studied quite well which cannot be said about the previous period. It is obvious that further serious work with archival sources is required to recreate as complete as possible the history of Russian legal and illegal agents in Shanghai in pre-Soviet times

This article examines the Western and Eastern parts of the Roman Empire during the Middle Ages for finding the evidence of implementation of food security policy therein. The object of this work is the cultural peculiarities and socioeconomic relations in the society, which determine and promote the process of implementation of food security policy. The subject of this work is the theoretical, practical and normative sources on ensuring food stability of the state, normative acts of the government institutions reinforced by the results of archaeological explorations. The author is one of the first within the Russian and foreign literature to demonstrate the facts that testify to the implementation of food security policy in the Middle Ages. Based on the historical example of France under the Capetian dynasty, it is demonstrated that the maintenance of food sustainability in the &ldquo;mansion state&rdquo; was implemented by the following means: restrictions on the goods for export, collection of special transit fees, establishment of the customs institutions. The success of the Byzantine food security policy was guaranteed by creating the large grain depots during the reign of Julian the Apostate; establishing the institutions that were accountable to the authorities and controlled the consistent procurement of essential food products; the order of Anastasios II on expulsion from the city of anyone who did not provide themselves with a yearly supply of food; consolidating trade regulations and distribution restriction in the in the &ldquo;Book of the Prefect&rdquo;.

This article explores the communication process between the authorities and society via social networks on the example of the municipality of Severodvinsk. Online platforms have become the main source of communication between the government authorities and citizens since 2017. The recently appointed head of the city selected an effective strategy for establishing dialogue with the population; he chose a popular communication channel, published comprehensible texts, and demonstrated quick response to the citizens&rsquo; requests. However, having made wrong decisions, from the perspective of the city residents, the administration and the mayor faced a lot of negativity and limited communication in the social networks. The goal of this research is to determine conditions for using social networks as the main communication channel in building dialogue between the government and society on the example of the municipality of Severodvinsk due to the fact that in the course of implementing information policy, it demonstrated two different models of using social networks. The object of this article is the profile page of the administration of Severodvinsk in the social network &ldquo;Vkontakte&rdquo;. The subject is the communication process of the municipal authorities in social networks. The conclusion is made that the administration should take into account the specificity of social networks, such as openness in expressing emotions by the citizens; it is necessary to learn working with online platforms, separate work criticism from personal criticism, and establish the dialogue based on the rule of two-way communication, which implies not only sharing information, but also perceiving the feedback.

Este trabalho se dedica ao estudo dos elementos que ocasionaram a invisibilização do trabalho das mulheres na pesca artesanal. Para tanto, realiza-se uma análise da legislação pesqueira brasileira desde o momento do reconhecimento institucional das Colônias, por meio da inscrição marítima, em 1846, até a década de 1990, apontando quem era considerado o sujeito de direitos da pesca perante o Estado neste período, se homem ou mulher. Também se analisa a dupla jornada de trabalho das mulheres como elemento determinante para a falta de reconhecimento profissional destas. As principais fontes bibliográficas utilizadas foram as legislações pertinentes ao assunto e cadernetas de registro de pesca da Colônia Z-1, na cidade de Rio Grande, bem como a literatura científica sobre o tema. Em última instância, a pesquisa busca apontar que, não obstante a participação histórica da mulher pescadora e da trabalhadora da pesca na cadeia produtiva da pesca, ainda hoje estas enfrentam dificuldade para o reconhecimento profissional e para a aquisição de direitos sociais decorrentes do labor na atividade pesqueira.Palavras-chave: Pesca Artesanal, Invisibilização, Gênero AbstractThis work is dedicated to the study of elements that caused the invisibility of women's work in artisanal fishing. To this end, an analysis of Brazilian fisheries legislation is carried out from the moment of the institutional recognition of the colonies, by maritime registration, in 1846, until the 1990s, pointing out who was considered the subject of fishing rights before the State in this period. period, whether male or female. It also analyzes the double workday of women as a determining element for their lack of professional recognition. The main bibliographic sources used were the pertinent legislation and fishing logbooks of Colony Z-1, in the city of Rio Grande, as well as the scientific literature on the subject. Ultimately, the research aims to point out that, despite the historical participation of fisher women and fishing workers in the fisheries production chain, they still face difficulties for professional recognition and the acquisition of social rights resulting from labor in the activity fishing.Keywords: Artisanal Fishing, Invizibilization, Gender

The article attempts to uncover the transformation of the urban environment of Krasnoyarsk, starting from the moment of its foundation until the end of the 20th century, as well as the influence of certain spheres of life (culture, industry, transport infrastructure, administrative and territorial position, etc.) and the environment on its formation. The article notes that the analysis of domestic and foreign studies of urban space confirms the validity of an appeal to an interdisciplinary type of research. The object of the research is the city of Krasnoyarsk as an actively developing metropolis with a rich history and its own administrative and cultural characteristics. The subject of research is the urban space of Krasnoyarsk. Observation and analytical and descriptive methods, which include the analysis of individual elements of the development of urban space in the specified period, followed by a generalization of the data, as well as comparative historical and dialectical methods, are used to solve the problems of the study. In addition, the main research methods include the analysis of architectural objects constructed in various years. In conclusion, the general conclusions and trends that characterize the specifics of the urban space of Krasnoyarsk, formed by the end of the 20th century and largely predetermined its development in the third millennium, are indicated

The subject around which the contributions in this volume gravitate is the creation of a higher institute of engineering studies in Florence in the late nineteenth-century. On the eve of the unification of Italy, Florence was a promising centre for a Polytechnic, in view of the experience of the Corpo di Ingegneri di Acque e Strade, the precocious railway building, the importance of the mining sector and the solidity of the Istituto Tecnico Toscano. Despite this, unlike what took place in Milan and in Turin, the Istituto Tecnico Toscano was not transformed into a Polytechnic for the training of engineers. The reasons for this non-development can be traced to the lack of "industrialist" propensities in the managerial group that emerged victorious from the "peaceful revolution" of 1859, to a desire for independence from the national academic system built on the Casati law, and to a local demand for engineering skills that was less dynamic than expected. Consequently, the prevailing winds were those of "normalisation" blowing from the government, the universities and the most prestigious Colleges of Engineers. Nevertheless, Florence continued to represent an important technological centre, especially in relation to railway infrastructures, public works, and the mechanical engineering industries (for example Pignone and Galileo). In the end it was not until one hundred years after unification that the city finally became the seat of a Faculty of Engineering.

The article describes the circumstances in which the France-Pologne association, led by Henri de Montfort, was established in 1919 and operated to 1940. In the available literature on the subject, the activity of this association has not been given much attention. The Les Amis de la Pologne association established by Rosa Bailly in 1919 played an important role in creating a positive image of Poland in the city on the Seine in the interwar period. The recognition of the Polish National Committee (KNP) by Paris in August 1917 as the official Polish representation paved the way for the creation of the France-Pologne association. Having realised how important it was to use propaganda in international political and military relations, the Polish delegation to the Paris Peace Conference handed over the competences of the KNP Propaganda Office to the France-Pologne association. Its most important task was to conduct the promotional activities in the central press, supported by the government on the Seine. Throughout the interwar period, to advertise the Second Polish Republic’s achievements in France, France-Pologne co-organised readings, lectures, concerts, anniversary celebrations and participated in the scholarship exchange of Polish and French high schoolers and students. It also informed the French public opinion about economic relations with Poland in its magazines: „La Pologne. Politique, économique, littérraire et artistique”, „Bulletin d’information sur la vie économique polonaise” and „La Revue de l’Est Européen”.

China’s Three Gorges Dam is the largest hydroelectric megadam in world history and the subject of Jia Zhangke’s digital film Still Life (2006), Liu Xiaodong’s oil paintings, and Yang Yi’s digital photographs. Built in part to address the problems of global warming, the dam has had a number of surprising effects on the environment and has led to massive displacement of people to make way for the water. Jia populates his film with migrant workers, refugees, tourists, visitors, and even aliens from outer space, none of whom are at home in this world. Jia captures the city at the moment of its undoing, a place that is changing, he remarks, too fast for film. Reading Jia’s film together with Liu and Yang’s artwork and through the genre of still life painting, the chapter argues that Jia’s film envisions a kind of minimal hospitality that emerges when the world is past.

Identical to any inland cities in Java, Kota Malang also possesses an <em>alun-alun</em> in its downtown, completed with a Jami’ Mosque on the west side. This composition clearly shows some features of capital city’s typology in Java. Beside the similarity, some differences from the typology are also found in Alun-Alun Malang. The composition of Alun-Alun Kota Malang doesn’t put the square as the main orientation of <em>pendopo</em> as the center of the government. Furthermore, the position and function of Jami’ Mosque are dynamically follows the existence of Alun-alun Kota Malang which grows simultaneously with the city development. Thus research about the positional and functional relationships between the Jami’ Mosque and the Alun-Alun needs to be held. A phenomenological approach is used for this research. Primary data is collected through interview with the users, analysts and observers of Alun-Alun in order to grasp an idea of their assumptions about the mosque’s function. Meanwhile, the secondary data is attempted to obtain historical data of Alun-alun Kota Malang, including the establishment and the expansions of Jami’ Mosque, especially when it became Grand Mosque of Kota Malang. The data were compared with the phenomenon which occurs at the moment, the desires and the needs of the user community, as well as the sustainability of function and position the mosque as the identity of <em>alun-alun</em>. The findings of this research are the functions of the Grand Mosque are closely related to the phenomenon of the Alun-Alun’s development.
