In this article, authors analyze zoomorphic metaphor that the Chinese and the Japanese used when they characterize the Russians. On the first stage of study we did associative experiment with questionnaire. 100 of Chinese students and 100 of Japanese students took part. On the base of analyze of answers we selected by three typical zoonymes in Chinese and Japanese culture charactering the Russians. On the second stage of study we have analyzed associations and images of these animals existing in Russian, Chinese and Japanese linguistic cultures. The Russians have images of bear, wolf and panther in Chinese culture and bear, wolf and fox in Japanese culture. It must be marked that all images are ambivalent and have as positive as negative characteristics. Because of the image of animals are different in Chinese and Japanese culture, the associations connecting with these animals are also different. But as the Chinese as the Japanese pay attentions on the appearance, then for the Chinese behavior is important, but for the Japanese color, place of living connecting with cold and woolen cloth that the Russian are dressed are important. The association on contiguity (the wool in animal, the cloth in man) is appeared. The white color is also important because it is associated with color of skin. The color is specified in zoonymes used by the Japanese the next way: bear 28 times, hare 10 times, hamster 9 times, fox 6 times, horse 3 times and squirrel 3 times. As for the Chinese this parameter is not important. Zoomorphic metaphor used in the relation with the Russians is connected with the following parameters. As for the Chinese with -physical characteristics (powerful, strong and, hard); imagination about Russian nation as a military nation; behavior (rough, aggressive and slow); character (open-hearted, kind and brave). As for the Japanese with appearance (beautiful, tall and white); place of living (cold place, many woolen dresses, resistant to the cold); behavior (slow, not pay attention to the surrounding people); size (big); physical characteristics (powerful).
Following reorganization of the Confucius Institute Headquarters in 2021, the project “Confucius Institute at Novosibirsk State University” was taken patronage by its Chinese partner – Xinjiang University. This article observes three fields of activities of the NSU Confucius Institute Center that took place that year: teaching Chinese, organizing cultural events, conducting scholarly research. It encountered numerous difficulties such as the decrease of teaching staff, the number of Chinese learners shrinking by half, school closures and restrictions in holding cultural events, cancellation of academic mobility and international visits. The center, however, adapted to the new normal having benefited from its patrons from both sides and having succeeded in everything planned. Some of the achieved goals were the construction of a recreational area in a national style where visitors can concurrently learn about the institute’s activity, renovation of an old room to be a resource library for students and teachers, the launch of a distance learning platform for studying Chinese online, establishment of the Knowledge student club. All things considered, the activity of the Confucius Institute at Novosibirsk State University consolidates the idea of working ‘together for a shared future’.
Topological insulators (TIs) possess spin-polarized Dirac fermions on their surface but their unique properties are often masked by residual carriers in the bulk. Recently, (Sb 1− x Bi x ) 2 Te 3 was introduced as a non-metallic TI whose carrier type can be tuned from n to p across the charge neutrality point.

By using time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we investigate the ultrafast carrier dynamics in the series of (Sb 1− x Bi x ) 2 Te 3 .

The Dirac electronic recovery of ∼10 ps at most in the bulk-metallic regime elongated to >400 ps when the charge neutrality point was approached. The prolonged nonequilibration is attributed to the closeness of the Fermi level to the Dirac point and to the high insulation of the bulk. We also discuss the feasibility of observing excitonic instability of (Sb 1− x Bi x ) 2 Te 3 .
This article observes the main trends in the diagnosis of non-alcoholic hepatic steatosis, which have been observed in world practice recently. From a practical point of view, one of the most significant events was the introduction of a new term “metabolically associated fatty liver disease” (MAFLD), which partly replaced the previously used term “primary non-alcoholic fatty liver disease”. The new nomenclature induces clear diagnostic criteria for MAFLD, and this disease has ceased to be a diagnosis of exclusion, as a result. In the near future, the practical aspects of the application of this nomenclature and new diagnostic criteria are to be evaluated. The second important trend is the increasing role of direct serum markers of liver fibrosis in the diagnosis and prognosis of MAFLD. Thus, collagen type 3 propeptide (PRO-C3), as well as M2BPGi (Mac2 Binding Proteine Glycosylation isomer), look very promising, since research data have demonstrated a higher diagnostic value of these markers in comparison with indirect fibrosis indices, which are most often used in clinical practice. In addition, the search continues for new direct serum markers of fibrosis, which would be more sensitive for detecting liver fibrosis of stages 1-2. In general, one should expect a gradual replacement by serological markers of fibrosis of technically more complex and expensive diagnostic methods, such as magnetic resonance elastography and fibroelastometry.
The H→ZZ decay mode is usually considered as one of the most promising ways to discover new heavy neutral scalar H.

We show that in the Georgi–Machacek model it is possible to get large enhancement of double SM-like Higgs boson production due to H decays

while ZZ and WW decay channels could be highly suppressed.
A series of heterometallic carboxylate 1D polymers of the general formula [LnIIICd2(piv)7(H2O)2]n·nMeCN (LnIII = Sm (1), Eu (2), Tb (3), Dy (4), Ho (5), Er (6), Yb (7); piv = anion of trimethylacetic acid) was synthesized and structurally characterized. The use of CdII instead of ZnII under similar synthetic conditions resulted in the formation of 1D polymers, in contrast to molecular trinuclear complexes with LnIIIZn2 cores. All complexes 1–7 are isostructural. The luminescent emission and excitation spectra for 2–4 have been studied, the luminescence decay kinetics for 2 and 3 was measured. Magnetic properties of the complexes 3–5 and 7 have been studied; 4 and 7 exhibited the properties of field-induced single-molecule magnets in an applied external magnetic field. Magnetic properties of 4 and 7 were modelled using results of SA-CASSCF/SO-RASSI calculations and SINGLE_ANISO procedure. Based on the analysis of the magnetization relaxation and the results of ab initio calculations, it was found that relaxation in 4 predominantly occurred by the sum of the Raman and QTM mechanisms, and by the sum of the direct and Raman mechanisms in the case of 7.
The present paper deals with evaluation of economy "decarbonation" perspectives in post-Soviet states. The dynamics of this process over the period of 1990-2014 has been studied and the countries have been ranked respectively. Decoupling of GDP growth and CO2 emissions has been identified. The authors suggest a classification of tools to manage the process.
Background It is generally recognized that recurrent aggression can be the result of various psychiatric disorders.

The aim of our study was to analyze the mRNA levels, in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) of the midbrain, of the genes that may possibly be associated with aggression consistently shown by male mice in special experimental settings. Methodology/Principal Findings The genes were Th, Dat1, Snca and Bdnf; the male mice were a group of animals that had each won 20 daily encounters in succession and a group of animals that had the same winning track record followed by a no-fight period for 14 days. Increased Th, Dat1 and Snca mRNA levels were in the fresh-from-the-fight group as compared to the controls. Increased Th and Dat1 mRNA levels were in the no-fight winners as compared to the controls. Significant positive correlations were found between the level of aggression and Th and Snca mRNA levels.

Conclusions Repeated positive fighting experience enhances the expression of the Th, Dat1 and Snca genes, which are associated with brain dopaminergic systems. The expression of the Th and Dat1 genes stays enhanced for a long time.
A search is performed for anomalous interactions of the recently discovered Higgs boson using matrix element techniques with the information from its decay to four leptons and from associated Higgs boson production with two quark jets in either vector boson fusion or associated production with a vector boson. The data were recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC at a center-of-mass energy of 13TeV and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 38.6fb−1. They are combined with the data collected at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8TeV, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 5.1 and 19.7fb−1, respectively. All observations are consistent with the expectations for the standard model Higgs boson.
A wide variety of laser applications, that often require radiation with specific characteristics, and relative flexibility of laser configurations offer a prospect of designing systems with the parameters on demand. The inverse laser design problem is to find the system architecture that provides for the generation of the desired laser output. However, typically, such inverse problems for nonlinear systems are sensitive to the computation of the gradients of a target (fitness) function making direct back propagation approach challenging.

We apply here particle swarm optimization algorithm that does not rely on the gradients of the fitness function to the design of a fiber 8-figure laser cavity.

This technique allows us to determine the laser cavity architectures tailored to generating on demand pulses with duration in the range of 1.5–105 ps and spectral width in the interval 0.1–20.5 nm. The proposed design optimisation algorithm can be applied to a variety of laser applications, and, more generally, in a range of engineering systems with flexible adjustable configurations and the outputs on demand.
This article describes first results of studies at the Tartas-5 settlement (Vengerovsky District, Novosibirsk Region), located on the collapsing part of the floodplain terrace of the left bank of the Tartas River, in the Tai locality, which, both in ancient times and nowadays, is completely flooded. This circumstance makes it extremely difficult to identify cultural layers. The upper out of two cultural layers at the site contained the finds tentatively attributed to the Early Iron Age. The lower cultural layer and adjacent layers contained cultural remains of the Advanced Bronze Age. Thick, archaeologically sterile deposits were between the two cultural layers. Preliminary analysis has revealed extremely insignificant finds in the upper layer, represented by finely fragmented pottery fragments undecorated with ornamental patterns. Several weakly protruding rims were decorated with the row of pearls or were left undecorated. When studying the lower cultural layer of the Bronze Age, the remains of several post pits cut into the sterile soil have been found. In addition, there were traces of two smallfireplaces containing pottery fragments and crushed vessels. A large amount ofpottery and animal bones with traces of cutting were in the cultural layer and especially in the ash pit. According to preliminary identification, the bones belonged to domestic animals, including cow, sheep and, to a lesser extent, horse. The shapes and ornamentation of vessels was typical of classic Andronovo (Fedorovo) pottery. This complex did not differ in any way from the funeral pottery of Baraba, well known from excavations at numerous Andronovo (Fedorovo) burial grounds.
The phase diagrams of Na 2 CO 3 and K 2 CO 3 have been determined with multianvil (MA) and diamond anvil cell (DAC) techniques. In MA experiments with heating, γ -Na 2 CO 3 is stable up to 12 GPa and above this pressure transforms to P 6 3 /mcm-phase. At 26 GPa, Na 2 CO 3 - P 6 3 /mcm transforms to the new phase with a diffraction pattern similar to that of the theoretically predicted Na 2 CO 3 - P 2 1 /m. On cold compression in DAC experiments, γ -Na 2 CO 3 is stable up to the maximum pressure reached of 25 GPa. K 2 CO 3 shows a more complex sequence of phase transitions. Unlike γ -Na 2 CO 3 , γ -K 2 CO 3 has a narrow stability field. At 3 GPa, K 2 CO 3 presents in the form of the new phase, called K 2 CO 3 -III, which transforms into another new phase, K 2 CO 3 -IV, above 9 GPa. In the pressure range of 9–15 GPa, another new phase or the mixture of phases III and IV is observed. The diffraction pattern of K 2 CO 3 -IV has similarities with that of the theoretically predicted K 2 CO 3 - P 2 1 /m and most of the diffraction peaks can be indexed with this structure. Water has a dramatic effect on the phase transitions of K 2 CO 3 . Reconstruction of the diffraction pattern of γ -K 2 CO 3 is observed at pressures of 0.5–3.1 GPa if the DAC is loaded on the air.
Enhanced activity in low-temperature water-gas shift (LT-WGS) reaction of some ceramometal catalysts compared to conventional Cu–Zn–Al oxide catalyst was demonstrated.

Porous ceramometals were synthesized from powdered CuAl alloys prepared by mechanical alloying with the addition of either CuAlexp powders produced by current spark explosion of Cu+Al wires or CuZnAl oxide obtained by coprecipitation. Their structural, microstructural, and textural characteristics were examined by means of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry, NMR, and adsorption methods, and catalytic properties were studied in the LT-WGS reaction.

CuAlO/CuAl ceramometals were found to have mostly the egg-shell microstructure with the metallic cores (AlxCu1–x, Al2Cu, and Al4Cu9) and the oxide shell containing copper oxides and/or mixed oxides of copper and aluminum and, at same time, CuAlO/CuAl ceramometal with incorporated additives was found to create a more complicated microstructure. A large amount of X-ray amorphous oxides of copper and aluminum is typical for all composites. CuAl ceramometal was shown to be more active than the CuZnAl oxide catalyst in spite of a much lower specific surface area. The CuAl+CuZnAl catalyst consisting of prismatic granules showed a higher activity in comparison with CuZnAl oxide consisting of cylindrical granules. The activity of the composite granulated catalyst referred to its unit weight was more than 6-fold higher as compared to the oxide catalyst, while the activity per the surface area was found to be more than an order of magnitude higher due to much higher specific activity of small fraction and additively much lower diffusion limitation of granules.
We report for the first time, rogue waves generation in a mode-locked fiber laser that worked in multiple-soliton state in which hundreds of solitons occupied the whole laser cavity.

Using real-time spatio-temporal intensity dynamics measurements, it is unveiled that nonlinear soliton collision accounts for the formation of rogue waves in this laser state. The nature of interactions between solitons are also discussed.

Our observation may suggest similar formation mechanisms of rogue waves in other systems.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite a high prevalence of smoking and respiratory symptoms, two recent population-based studies in Russia found a relatively low prevalence of obstructive lung function. Here, we investigated the prevalence of both obstructive lung disease and respiratory symptoms in a population-based study conducted in two Russian cities and compared the findings with a similar study from Norway conducted in the same time period.The study population was a sub-sample of participants aged 40-69 years participating in the Know Your Heart (KYH) study in Russia in 2015-18 (n=1883) and in the 7th survey of the Tromsø Study (n=5271) carried out in Norway in 2015-16 (Tromsø 7) who participated in spirometry examinations. The main outcome was obstructive lung function (FEV1/FVC ratio< lower limit of normal on pre-bronchodilator spirometry examination) with and without respiratory symptoms (chronic cough and breathlessness). In those with obstructive lung function, awareness (known diagnosis) and management (use of medications, smoking cessation) were compared.The age-standardized prevalence of obstructive lung function was similar among men in both studies (KYH 11.0% vs Tromsø 7 9.8%, p=0.21) and higher in the Norwegian (9.4%) than Russian (6.8%) women (p=0.006). In contrast, the prevalence of obstructive lung function plus respiratory symptoms was higher in Russian men (KYH 8.3% vs Tromsø 7 4.7%, p<0.001) but similar in women (KYH 5.9% vs Tromsø 7 6.4%, p=0.18). There was a much higher prevalence of respiratory symptoms in Russian than Norwegian participants of both sexes regardless of presence of obstructive lung function.The prevalence of respiratory symptoms was strikingly high among Russian participants but this was not explained by a higher burden of obstructive lung function on spirometry testing in comparison with Norwegian participants. Further work is needed to understand the reasons and health implications of this high prevalence of cough and breathlessness.
Most contemporary storage rings operate in the multibunch mode. In this case, the transverse dynamics in the presence of feedback may be complicated. Indeed, generally, the amplified signal of beam position monitor kicks all circulating bunches. In this paper, the stability of such system with many degrees of freedom is considered. Damping times are estimated for the simplest cases.
Evaporation of a heated sessile water micro-drop was studied experimentally at the substrate temperature and surrounding atmosphere from 30 to 50 °C.

The studies were performed on the float glass substrate with aluminum nanocoating of optical quality.

The research has shown that the specific rate of evaporation (mass loss per unit of the drop surface area) increases with the decrease in droplet volume and at the last stage several times exceeds the initial value.

Suppression of superconductivity in disordered systems is a fundamental problem of condensed matter physics.

Here we investigate superconducting niobium-titanium-nitride (Nb1-xTixN) thin films grown by the atomic layer deposition (ALD) with slightly different growth process parameters.

We observe a smooth crossover from the disorder-driven superconductor-normal metal transition (SMT) to the superconductor-insulator transition (SIT) via the intermediate Bose metal state detected by the low-temperature saturation of the temperature dependence of the sheet resistance. We demonstrate that the SIT via the intervening Bose metal state occurs if the sheet resistance of the film in the maximum, Rmax prior to the superconducting drop of R(T), exceeds Rq = h/4e2.
The article examines the linguistic personality of the author of popular science articles through analysis of his use of argumentative means. Three articles of the journalist R. Fishman were selected as material. The distribution of argumentative schemes (types of arguments) is considered in comparison with the average distribution in journalistic texts; some specific features of argumentative structures (ways of organizing argumentation in the text) are shown. It was found that the author often prefers to use logical and pseudological arguments, as well as arguments demonstrating ways of obtaining knowledge, and less often – to References to an authoritative opinion. The complicated argumentative structures used by R. Fishman demonstrate the multifaceted nature of the scientific phenomena referred to in the texts; conflict, or attacking (containing counterarguments) schemes used by the author perform two functions: attracting attention and demonstrating the complexity and ambiguity of scientific phenomena. On the whole, the argumentation observed in the texts of R. Fishman indicates that the author tries to comprehend scientific knowledge for its appropriate transfer to a non-specialist reader, and does not use simpler strategies to popularize scientific knowledge.
A number of transition metal cluster compounds can be obtained only in the melt of inorganic cyanides and, therefore, contain terminal cyanide ligands. Substitution of these ligands, which is often necessary to change the physicochemical properties of the clusters, is an urgent problem because of their low reactivity in substitution reactions. In this work, a synthetic approach has been developed for the substitution of CN‐ligands in the heterometallic cluster anions [Re 3 Mo 3 Q 8 (CN) 6 ] n– (Q = S, n = 6; Q = Se, n = 5) by the 4‐ tert ‐butylpyridine (TBP) molecules. Two new compounds, namely [Re 3 Mo 3 S 8 (TBP) 6 ] ( 1 ) and [Re 3 Mo 3 Se 8 (TBP) 6 ] ( 2 ), were obtained with high yields and crystallized under solvothermal conditions. It has been shown that compounds 1 and 2 are based on the paramagnetic cluster cores {Re 3 Mo 3 Q 8 } 0 containing 23 cluster valence electrons (CVE). The geometry of the new compounds has been investigated using X‐ray structural analysis. The electronic structure has been analyzed using the DFT calculations showing large distortion of M 6 cluster core.
As plants are sessile organisms unable to escape from environmental hazards, they need to adapt for survival. The stem cell niche in the root apical meristem is particularly sensitive to DNA damage induced by environmental stresses such as chilling, flooding, wounding, UV, and irradiation. DNA damage has been proven to cause stem cell death, with stele stem cells being the most vulnerable. Stress also induces the division of quiescent center cells. Both reactions disturb the structure and activity of the root stem cell niche temporarily; however, this preserves root meristem integrity and function in the long term. Plants have evolved many mechanisms that ensure stem cell niche maintenance, recovery, and acclimation, allowing them to survive in a changing environment. Here, we provide an overview of the cellular and molecular aspects of stress responses in the root stem cell niche.
Combination of the classical effect of light self-focusing and recently emerged multicore fiber technology offers new opportunities for the spatio-temporal control and manipulation of high-power light radiation. Here, we apply genetic algorithm to design a system enabling self-focusing of light in various fiber cores on demand. The proposed concept is general and can be applied and adapted to any multicore fiber or two-dimensional array of coupled waveguides paving a way for numerous applications.
