The author reports on the 5th All-Ukrainian Scientific and Practical Conference “Contemporary Dimensions of Ukrainian Regional Studies,” held at Nizhyn Mykola Gogol State University on 14 October 2025. The event has affirmed its status as a professional platform for interdisciplinary scholarly dialogue among researchers of culture, history, the arts, and education from various regions of Ukraine, and its outcomes are highly significant for the development of Ukrainian encyclopedia production. The plenary session focused on issues of preserving historical and cultural memory, biographical research, and musical and artistic regional studies. The conference demonstrated the growing importance of regional research as a key direction in contemporary humanities and its alignment with the principles of encyclopedic knowledge in exploring national identity.

This study explores the reception of Russian-language “encyclopedias for girls and boys,” a gender-segregated nonfiction genre that delineates conservative views of femininity and masculinity, serving as a form of sex education and behavioral guidance. This genre can be viewed as part of a broader “cultural backlash” following the fall of communism, analogous to trends in the West that fuel right-wing populism, albeit stemming from different historical contexts. This research investigates the interplay between the normative subjects constructed by these gendered encyclopedias and the agency of readers who may resist these prescribed ideologies. Utilizing qualitative methodology, the study analyzes internet comments from past readers, employing Maria Nikolajeva’s concept of the “identification fallacy” to understand the impact of these texts. Findings suggest that while these books create a shared communicative space for a generation of readers, regardless of gender, the intended imposition of conservative values is often met with irony and skepticism in adulthood, indicating a more nuanced impact on identity formation than the genre’s didactic nature presupposes. Along with reader reception, the social life (bytovanie) of these texts is also reconstructed: from practices of acquisition to transfer and censorship.

This study examines the urgency of anti-circumvention regulations in Indonesia to address the practice of circumvention that harms the domestic industry and state revenue. Circumvention, or avoidance of anti-dumping import duties in Indonesia, often occurs through diverting export routes through third countries. For example, H&I Section steel from China has entered Indonesia via Thailand. Similarly, after anti-dumping was imposed on Chinese HRC Alloy products, imports from Japan, Taiwan, and Vietnam surged. As a result, the domestic industry experienced significant sales volume and profits declines, while the country lost potential revenue. The broader impact includes reduced anti-dumping policy effectiveness, increased risk of layoffs, and factory closures due to unfair competition resulting from circumvention. This study employs qualitative normative research methods through a literature review, examining primary legal materials (such as laws and regulations from Indonesia and the U.S.), secondary sources (literature, journals, previous research results), and tertiary sources (legal dictionaries, encyclopedias). The analysis uses a comparative approach between the Indonesian and United States legal systems and examines Islamic law's perspective on these practices. The study’s findings indicate that Indonesia lacks specific regulations to address circumvention, unlike the United States, which already has a structured system. Concrete recommendations include: first, there is a need for a clear operational definition of circumvention. Second, an integrated monitoring system should be developed based on national trade data and community involvement through complaint channels. Third, the investigation procedure should allow initiation by both the authorities and external parties, with field verification and a deadline for completion. Fourth, progressive sanctions should be enforced, such as expanding anti-dumping import duties, suspending import permits, and imposing retroactive fines. Regulations can be further strengthened by adopting best practices from countries such as the United States and integrating the principles of maqashid sharia (justice, protection of property, and public welfare) so that regulations are technically effective, fair, and socially sustainable. With these measures, Indonesia can close the regulatory gap regarding circumvention, protect the domestic industry, and optimize state revenues from the international trade sector.

This article explores the evolving meanings of the terms "Cold War" and "Second/New Cold War" within contemporary socio-humanities. It argues that the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian war has introduced new cognitive challenges and issues, necessitating a rethinking of historical experience and a revival of traditional research strategies. This war has also led to a new global confrontation, with many countries indirectly involved. The term “Second Cold War” has become a prevalent descriptor for this global conflict, representing an attempt to extrapolate the bipolar confrontation of 1946–1989 to the present day. The article emphasizes that the term “Second Cold War” reflects a distinctive socio-humanitarian trend in which modern militarized realities are perceived as a “return of history” to the global and "post-historical" world. However, the term "Second/New Cold War" remains a derivative concept with vague content, generating various interpretations in different studies. The author suggests that the secondary nature of this term complicates its representation in traditional, paper-based encyclopedias and dictionaries. Given the rapid evolution of its meaning and usage, frequent updates to encyclopedia entries are necessary. Furthermore, the contemporary cognitive landscape of extreme militarized modernity encourages the expansion of online resources within the framework of national (Ukrainian) encyclopedism.

The article deals with the problem of creating a Ukrainian web-oriented encyclopedia to support terminology of education and psychology. The project is designed by the Institute for Digitization of Education of the National Academy of Educational Sciences of Ukraine (IDE NAES of Ukraine). The initial stages of the "Ukrainian Electronic Encyclopedia of Education" implementation procedure were presented. The structure of the encyclopedia website, its software platform, functionality, a search toolkit, articles typology, thematic sections, authors` team, and target audience were described. The authors analyzed the principal reference resources regarding encyclopedic editions (Corpus of Ukrainian Encyclopedias, Electronic library of the NAES of Ukraine, V. O. Sukhomlynskyi State Scientific and Pedagogical Library of Ukraine, and ScienceDirect). A review of international scientific publications was carried out. The problem of open use the verified, scientific, and succinctly presented content is revealed. It is emphasized the need for technical and technological implementation of the following capabilities: content uploading, editing, and enhancing support; coordinated work of the international scientific authors’ team; open access anytime and anywhere for many users; search functions by various parameters on the site, etc.

The article embraces an in-depth analysis of the cognitive mechanism of the conceptual world-image lingual objectivity in projection onto the one of its top verbal results – the presentation of objects, phenomena, events, concepts, actions, processes, states, relations, etc. in the form of slogans, corresponding to the encyclopedia. As a result, the algorithm of universal and specific cognition actions was logically clarified; its impact on the multi-vector procedure of structuring definitions in encyclopedic and linguistic dictionaries has been ascertained in succession. Special attention was paid to systematic analysis of such crucial aspects of the cognitive process under research as harmonic interaction of specific lingual resource and borrowings and ideological usualization. The latter one was determined by the replenishment of the political vocabulary replenishment, actualization of previously unactualized nominative units, the extension / narrowing of the semantic scope and connotative potential of the certain lexemes-markers, functional-stylistic, emotional-expressive, and synchronous-evaluative ranging of registered units, and also an adequate lexicographic interpretation of the ideologically relevant information. [Статтю присвячено аналізові когнітивного механізму лінгвального об’єктивування концептуальної картини світу в проєкції на один із вершинних результатів вербалізації – представлення предметів, явищ, подій, понять, дій, процесів, станів, відношень тощо у вигляді гасел, що відповідають усім канонам енциклопедистики. З’ясовано алгоритм дії універсальної та специфічної когніцій, їхній уплив на різновекторну процедуру структурування дефініцій в енциклопедичних і лінгвістичних словниках. Виняткову увагу приділено системному описові таких важливих аспектів досліджуваного когнітивного процесу, як гармонійна взаємодія питомого ресурсу мови й запозичень, ідеологічна узуалізація динамічного корпусу політичної лексики, актуалізація раніше неактуалізованих номінативних одиниць, розширення або звуження семантичного обсягу й конотативного потенціалу окремих знакових лексем, функційно-стильове, емоційно-експресивне, син­хронно-оцінне маркування реєстрових одиниць, адекватне лексикографічне інтерпретування ідеологічно релевантної інформації.]

Abstract Background Identifying what therapies constitute complementary, alternative, and/or integrative medicine (CAIM) is complex for a multitude of reasons. An operational definition is dynamic, and changes based on both historical time period and geographical location whereby many jurisdictions may integrate or consider their traditional system(s) of medicine as conventional care. To date, only one operational definition of “complementary and alternative medicine” has been proposed, by Cochrane researchers in 2011. This definition is not only over a decade old but also did not use systematic methods to compile the therapies. Furthermore, it did not capture the concept “integrative medicine”, which is an increasingly popular aspect of the use of complementary therapies in practice. An updated operational definition reflective of CAIM is warranted given the rapidly increasing body of CAIM research literature published each year. Methods Four peer-reviewed or otherwise quality-assessed information resource types were used to inform the development of the operational definition: peer-reviewed articles resulting from searches across seven academic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, AMED, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Scopus and Web of Science); the “aims and scope” webpages of peer-reviewed CAIM journals; CAIM entries found in online encyclopedias, and highly-ranked websites identified through searches of CAIM-related terms on HONcode. Screening of eligible resources, and data extraction of CAIM therapies across them, were each conducted independently and in duplicate. CAIM therapies across eligible sources were deduplicated. Results A total of 101 eligible resources were identified: peer-reviewed articles (n = 19), journal “aims and scope” webpages (n = 22), encyclopedia entries (n = 11), and HONcode-searched websites (n = 49). Six hundred four unique CAIM terms were included in this operational definition. Conclusions This updated operational definition is the first to be informed by systematic methods, and could support the harmonization of CAIM-related research through the provision of a standard of classification, as well as support improved collaboration between different research groups.

Abstract The aim of my presentation is to introduce a brief history of anthropological studies in Japan, particularly focusing on the associations, museums, research projects and textbooks. As for associations, I will describe about the Anthropological Society of Nippon (founded in 1884), the Japanese Society of Ethnology (founded in 1934) and its renamed association, the Japanese Society of Cultural Anthropology (since 2004). JASCA has approximately 2000 members. Regarding museums, I will pick up mainly National Museum of Ethnology (Minpaku, founded in 1974), as well as Little World Museum of Man (founded in 1983) and National Ainu Museum (Upopoy, founded in 2020). With regard to research projects, special research projects and inter-university research projects of Minpaku and panels of JASCA conferences are major targets of analysis. Lastly, I can cite at least 50 textbooks for students and several encyclopedias on anthropology. I will also show the variety of anthropological publications and popular topics in the contemporary book market.
