Aim. To assess the contribution of anxiety (A) and depression (D) to the increased risk of cardiovascular events (CVEs) in patients with Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation (SCORE) <5% according to 10-year follow-up.

Material and methods. The work included 190 patients with SCORErisk <5%, examined in 2009-2010. In addition to the standard examination, a questionnaire was carried out using Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). In 2019, we contacted participants by telephone to identify CVEs over the past time: death from cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), acute myocardial infarction (MI), unstable angina, stroke, revascularization. The response was 86,3%.

Results. CVEs occurred in 17 (10,2%) patients and included following outcomes: 3 deaths from CVDs, 6 acute MIs, 4 cases of unstable angina, 12 revascularizations. Patients with and without CVEs differed only in the depression level — 7 (5; 7) vs 5.0 (4; 5) points (p=0,0001). HADS-D score >6 increased the probability of CVEs — odds ratio (OR) 2,9 (1,1-7,7). In individuals with HADS-D score >6 and/or HADS-A score >7, the probability of CVEs increased — OR 4,9 (1,4-17,9). A combination of impaired two or more parameters of the lipid profile, systolic blood pressure >130 mm Hg and HADS-D score >6 and/or HADS-A score >7 increased the risk of CVE — OR 7,3 (2,48-21,36).

Conclusion. Depression, including subclinical depression, is associated with an increased risk of CVEs in patients with a SCORE risk <5%.

Published: July 2021

The presented case report describes a five-year outcomes of bifurcation stenting of the left anterior descending artery and large diagonal branch with Absorb bioabsorbable vascular stent (BVS) according to selective coronary angiography and optical coherence tomography. The example demonstrates not only the successful implantation of biodegradable stents into the bifurcation area, but also the complete restoration of the arterial wall with the formation of neocarina. Optical coherence tomography made it possible to study in detail all stages of vascular wall alterations from the inside. This case report prompts a fresh look at the biodegradable BVS Absorb stents and does not rule out the potential of returning these stents to clinical practice in the future. Currently, the production and use of Absorb BVSs has been suspended, but they have filled a certain niche in the endovascular treatment of patients with coronary artery disease.

The alcohol consumption is associated with dietary patterns.  

Aim. To study the associations of alcohol consumption and dietary patterns in the adult population.  

Material and methods. The analysis was carried out using representative samples of male and female population aged 25-64 years (n=19437; men, 7306; women, 12131 women) from 13 Russian regions.

The response rate was 80%. We assessed nutrition by the frequency of consuming basic food groups. The low alcohol intake (LI) category includes women and men who consume <42 g and <84 g, moderate consumption (MI) — 42 g and 84 g, high intake (HI) — 84 g and 168 g ethanol per week, respectively.

Results. In comparison with men who do not drink alcohol, MI and HI category representatives more often consume red meat — by 22 and 36%, meat and sausages — by 37 and 48%, and less often: fish products — by 34 and 33%, cottage cheese — by 51 and 53%, respectively. More rare consumption of poultry is significant in the MI group, vegetables/fruits — in the HI group, sweets — in the LI group. Consumption of pickles, cereals, pasta, liquid dairy products, cheese and sour cream does not differ between the groups in men. Compared to women who do not drink alcohol, women in the LI, MI and HI groups significantly more often consume meat and sausages — by 16, 28 and 85%, respectively. Women of the LI and MI groups more often consume red meat — by 15 and 33%, confectionery — by 29 and 24%, less often: cereals — by 9 and 18%, legumes — by 44 and 53% and cottage cheese — by 19 and 44 %, respectively. Women of the LI category more often daily consume milk, kefir and yogurt — by 26%, and less often fish products — by 18%. Women of the HI group are less likely to consume fruits/vegetables. Consumption of poultry, pickles and cheese do not differ between groups among women.

Conclusion. People who consume alcoholic beverages have a pronounced nutritional imbalance, characterized by a higher consumption of red meat, especially processed, high-fat dairy products, salt, and in women, confectionery.

Published: July 2021

Preventive workplace programs are one of the optimal organizational models for the prevention of noncommunicable diseases in the workingage population. Corporate health programs allow to effectively influence the lifestyle of employees, which makes it possible to reduce human resource risks due to morbidity and increase labor efficiency. First, programs for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases are being implemented. A number of researchers report that implementing prevention programs in the workplace can reduce the number of people with bad habits. The effectiveness of preventive workplace programs largely depends on the mechanisms of their implementation. A feature of railway companies is the presence of a large staff of employees of various specialties. Many factors affecting health are, in one way or another, related to the workflow, since most railway companies operate continuously. Low health literacy of railway workers on health protection and disease prevention was noted. Measures such as financial incentives, preventive counseling, the creation of personalized health profiles and the availability of healthy food in the workplace have been shown to be effective. The review also discusses Russian corporate preventive workplace programs.

Aim. To test a hypothesis of hypoperfusion-induced white matter changes in patients with atrial fibrillation (AFib) and to present statistics to compute sample size for the upcoming studies.

Material and methods. We included 30 inpatients with AFib and investigated them with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with standard sequencies and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). DTI data were analyzed with conventional ROI analysis in the Olea Sphere software and with watershed areas (WSA) mask in the FSL toolbox after nonlinear transformation of images to the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) space. Wilcoxon test was used to compare diffusion characteristics across subgroups.

Results. Median age of participants was 73 years (69-78), 18 (60%) patients had moderate signs of small vessel disease with Fazekas score of one. Twenty-one patients had paroxysmal AFib. Analysis of WSA revealed decreased white matter integrity in the parieto-occipital cortical WSA with a pattern of significantly increased mean diffusivity (p=0,039), and marginally significant decrease in fractional anisotropy (p=0,056). Rank-based effect size across areas under comparison was either small (0,2) or negligible, and with statistical power in the range of 0,05-1.

Conclusion. Atrial fibrillation could have pathophysiologically feasible mechanism to affect white matter integrity in the watershed areas.

Aim. To assess the distribution of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) in a sample of the region from the ESSE-RF study and to study its associations with risk factors (RFs) and the Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation (SCORE) system.

Material and methods. This observational cross-sectional study includes a representative sample of the population aged 25-64 years of the Vologda region (n=1591). The analysis included sex, age, behavioral and cardiometabolic RFs, biomarkers, prior cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), and SCORE. The differences between age-sex groups were considered significant at p<0,05.

Results. According to study results, asymmetry in cTnI distribution among population was revealed. The median cTnI level in the sample was 1,5 pg/ml (95% confidence interval, 0,80-2,50). Noteworthy is the high level of the 99th percentile of cTnI in men aged 45-54 years (55,3 pg/ml). At the same time, the 99th percentile for the entire sample in men was 47,7 pg/ml, while in women — 13,3 pg/ml. The cTnI level log increases significantly with age in both men (p<0,0001) and women (p<0,0001), but faster in men. There was a higher level of cTnI in young men compared to same-age women. In multivariate analysis, significant associations of cTnI levels with sex, age, blood low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, abdominal obesity, hypertension, and brain natriuretic peptide level were obtained. Insufficient accuracy of classification of study participants by SCORE risk was revealed.

Conclusion. The distribution of cTnI in the sample of the Russian region from the ESSE-RF study is sharply shifted to the left (median, 1,5 pg/ml). Higher cTnI levels were revealed in young men compared to their female peers. Significant associations of cTnI with obesity (body mass index, hypertension, elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and brain natriuretic peptide concentration) were found. It was demonstrated that SCORE does not accurately classify individuals with high and moderate cТnI levels.

Published: July 2021

ABSTRACT: Forty 1-2-y-old water buffaloes were simultaneously treated with trichlorfon and chlorpyrifos products in the recommended dose for cattle. After a week, 19 animals started presenting clinical signs characterized by apathy, diarrhea, aggressiveness, dehydration, and motor incoordination, followed by flaccid paralysis and permanent lateral recumbency. All affected buffaloes died after a clinical course of 1-4 days. Reduction of serum cholinesterase activity in three cases was indicative of significant exposure to organophosphorus compounds (OPs). Pathological examination of three buffaloes revealed no gross and histological lesions. By thin layer chromatography, chlorpyrifos residues and trace of trichlorfon residues were detected in fresh tissue samples. The epidemiological, clinical, pathological, and toxicological findings were highly compatible with OPs-induced delayed neurotoxicity, a neurological manifestation rarely described in domestic animals.
An assessment of the urban water footprint and blue water scarcity: A case study for Van (Turkey)
Authors: Yerli C. , Sahin U.
Published: July 2021

Abstract Today, most of the world’s population faces water scarcity, while global warming, urbanization, industrialization and population increases continue to increase the severity of the pressure on water resources. Management of water resources plays a key role in the sustainability of agricultural production. The water footprint (WF) is different in comparison to other water statistics because it takes direct and indirect water consumption into account, and helps in the management of water resources. Within this context, the WF of Van province, which is Turkey’s most easterly located arid region, was calculated from 2004 to 2019. The study area covers lake Van, which is Turkey's largest lake, and the Van basin with an area of 23.334 km2 and a population of 1.136.757 (2019). In the calculations, crop (WFcrop), livestock (WFlivestock), and domestic and industrial water footprints (WFdomestic+industrial) were evaluated separately, and blue and green water footprints (WFblue and WFgreen) were analyzed in detail. According to the results, the average WF of Van province was found to be 8.73 billion m3 year-1. Throughout the province, 87.6% of the WF is composed of WFcrop, 4.9% is WFlivestock and 7.5% is WFdomestic+industrial. Of the WFcrop, 62.5% depends on WFblue, i.e., freshwater. Most of the WFlivestock consisted of dairy cattle (49%) and sheep (38%). The average WFdomestic+industrial for 2004 to 2019 was 0.64 billion m3 year-1. The average per capita water footprint of Van province was found to be 889.9 m3 year-1 capita-1. In addition, the province is classified as severe water scarcity (257%). This study is one of the first province-based calculations of WF in Turkey and is the first study to bring a different aspect to published literature by including residual soil moisture from the winter months. As a result of this study, the WFblue of the WFcrop is above the worldwide average and should be reduced by changing the crop pattern or synchronizing the planting and harvest dates of the crops to a period that benefits from precipitation. In addition, this study is expected to contribute to new studies for calculating the provincial scale WF and will have positive effects on agricultural planning, water allocation and the sustainability of water resources.

Abstract Introduction: Aminoglycoside-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) is a pathology closely linked to oxidative and inflammatory reactions. Taking into account the previous reported antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of D-005, a lipid extract obtained from Cuban palm Acrocomia crispa (Arecaceae) fruits, this work aimed to evaluate the effects of D-005 on kanamycin-induced AKI. Methods: Male Wistar rats were divided into 7 groups: negative control (vehicle, Tween 65/H2O) and six groups treated with kanamycin to induce AKI: positive control (vehicle), D-005 (25, 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg) and grape seed extract (GSE, 200 mg/kg). D-005, vehicle, and GSE oral treatments were administered once daily for seven days, 1 h before kanamycin (500 mg/kg, i.p.). Serum uric acid and urea concentrations, renal histopathology, and oxidative markers (malondialdehyde (MDA), sulfhydryl (SH) groups, and catalase (CAT) activity) were assessed. Results: D-005 significantly reduced uric acid and urea levels, starting from D-005 100 mg/kg. Histopathologically, D-005, at all the tested doses, protected renal parenchyma structures (glomeruli, proximal tubules, and interstitium). These findings were accompanied by a significant reduction of MDA and SH group concentrations as well as restoration of CAT activity. The highest percentages of inhibition were obtained with the dose of 400 mg/kg. GSE, the reference substance, also prevented kanamycin-induced biochemical and histopathological changes, as well as reduced MDA and SH groups and restored CAT activity. Conclusion: The administration of repeated oral doses of D-005 significantly protected against kanamycin-induced AKI, which could be associated with the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of this extract.
Numerical simulation of surface blast reduction using composite backfill

Published: July 2021

Underground protective structures are usually made of reinforced concrete at a certain depth below the surface that is covered with soil. Materials, layering and geometry of the composite backfill play important roles in damping the stresses caused by surface blasts. The current study used 3D modelling to investigate the characteristics of the composite backfill subjected to surface blast load. The results indicated that the application of geofoam as a geosynthetic isolator layer increased the percentage of pressure decay (PD) up to 61%. Comparison of the different materials used for pressure mitigation revealed that a 0.75 m thick layer of geofoam performed similarly to a 1.1 m thick layer of unreinforced concrete, a 0.75 m thick layer of reinforced concrete with a steel equivalent height of 0.06 m and a 0.37 m thick steel layer. The combined use of reinforced concrete and geofoam considerably increased the PD.
A/effective Bodies: A Review of Eszter Szép’s Comics and The Body: Drawing, Reading, and Vulnerability (2020)
Authors: Godfrey-Meers Andrew
Published: July 2021

This review offers a critical overview of Eszter Szép’s Comics and The Body: Drawing, Reading, and Vulnerability (2020), a text that formulates a model of embodied interpretation and creation that establishes a dialogue between reader and artist based on their shared vulnerability. In this review the author explores Szép’s utilisation of the line and the materiality of the comic as an expression of and engagement with the body and vulnerability across comics dealing with trauma, illness, and war. Szép’s innovative consideration of the body of the reader is highlighted as an interpretive tool, a theory that comes from her own embodied reactions to these comics. In the second half of this review, the implications of Szép’s approach to vulnerability and the body are considered with regards to the Covid-19 pandemic, disability, and graphic medicine, drawing from the recent discourse of vulnerability by disabled people, the social model of disability and its limitations, and Thomas Couser's critical work on the field and genre of graphic medicine. Rather than seeing this as a limitation of the text, the author asks whether Szép’s methodology could be adopted to answer these and similar questions and point to work she already appears to be doing is such a direction.

DOI:10.17014/ijog.8.2.157-175This paper describes the results of surficial geological and alteration mapping combined with several laboratory analyses, including petrography, ore microscopy, ore geochemistry, and fluid inclusion studies, aimed at establishing the nature of mineralization and alteration in the Cibeber area, West Java, Indonesia, and developing a genetic model. The area forms part of the Bayah Dome Complex, which hosts several gold-silver deposits. It is underlain by andesitic lava, tuff breccia, and subordinate sandstone. Its structural framework consists of joints, normal faults, NE-SW dextral strike slip faults, and NW-SE strike-slip faults. Hydrothermal alteration can be divided into four types, viz. silicification, clay-silica, argillic, and propylitic. Mineralization is mostly hosted in quartz veins showing a variety of textures, including massive, colloform-crustiform, breccia, lattice bladed, comb, and saccharoidal. Ore minerals consist of native gold and silver, pyrite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite, galena, tennantite-tetrahedrite, covellite, malachite, hematite, and goethite, while the gangue minerals quartz, illite, epidote, and calcite. Four stages of mineralization/veining are recognized: early, middle (the main ore forming stage), late, and supergene. The highest obtained metal grades are 8.17 ppm Au, 113.6 ppm Ag, 1.23% Cu, 1.28% Pb, and 1.2% Zn. Fluid inclusions from mineralized veins yielded temperatures of 222 - 280°C and salinities of 0.36 - 1.31 wt.% NaCl eq. The hydrothermal fluids are interpreted to have been largely of meteoric origin with the mineralization having formed at a depth of about 258 - 270 m below paleosurface. Both low-sulphidation and intermediate-sulphidation styles of mineralization are present.

Published: July 2021

DOI:10.17014/ijog.8.2.177-196The discrimination of magmatic alkalinity is a classic study that has never stopped for the past ninety years. Various methodologies have been developed since Shand’s classification using the method of alumina saturation to approach silica saturation and the methodology without involving alumina and silica such as K2O vs. Na2O and others, while the aim is to find out the evolution of alkalinity during the magmatic differentiation. The classical magmatic alkalinity evolution has been known as a castic magma alkalinity evolution, where the initial magma in the form of magma-X(a) will evolve along the stages of differentiation and remain a derivative of the initial magma {magmaX(a)}. The same philosophy is also explained in the ternary AFM diagram. Is the magmatic differentiation, followed by fractional crystallization, always an evolution of alkalinity based on caste? This question often raises current debates. This study takes the example of cogenetic volcanic and albitites. The application of the cogenetic volcanic using the selected diagram, which is ‘Three in one an overlaid diagram’. The output of the diagram presents the differentiation of magma which based on the evolution of Mg-series and Fe-series in a discontinuous branch of Bowen 1922 that can take place the castic and cross-castic, e.g. (a) from Mg-series to Mg-series {castic}, (b) from Mg-series to Feseries {cross-castic}, (c) from high-Mg tholeiitic basalt to calc-alkaline series {cross-castic}, (d) from Fe-series to Fe-series {castic}. While the evolution of magmatic alkalinity based on the continuous branch and refer to Trapezoid model generally occurring a cross-castic, e.g. (A) from sodic calc-alkaline to sodic alkaline-calcic, (B) from sodic calc-alkaline to shoshonitic alkaline-calcic, (C) from sodic calc-alkaline to potassic calc-alkaline, (D) from potassic calc-alkaline to shoshonitic alkaline-calcic, (E) sodic alkaline-calcic to sodic alkaline/peralkaline, (F) shoshonitic alkaline-calcic to potassic/ultrapotassic alkaline-calcic (cross-castic in subalkaline), (G) shoshonitic/potassic alkalinecalcic to shoshonitic/potassic alkaline/peralkaline. In this study, Fossa delle Felci volcanics (Italy) shows the evolution of magma from Mg-series to Mg-series, but the evolution of alkalinity of magma reveals the cross-caste (from sodic calc-alkaline to shoshonitic alkaline-calcic). Salak volcanics (Western Jawa) shows the evolution of magma from the Mg-series to Fe-series (cross-castic), and also the cross-castic in the evolution of alkalinity from sodic calc-alkaline to alkaline-calcic. Gothara albitites (India) clearly reveal the sodic-rich alkaline, which the magma generates from the evolution of sodic alkaline-calcic to sodic alkaline without the presence of potassic.

Published: July 2021

DOI:10.17014/ijog.8.2.233-253The study of tholeiitic basalt is a general-classic study from geotectonic MORB, ocean island (OIB), continental rift, volcanic-arcs {IAB or Active Continental Margin (ACM)}. However, the geotectonic study of the tholeiitic volcanic-arcs is still unclear at the moment. In general, the arc tholeiitic is directly pointed to an island-arc volcanic, and the result of google search engine defines no existence of tholeiitic geochemistry which is formed from continental-arc volcanic (ACM). The problem lies in the model of discrimination diagram which is not able to discriminate ACM from the island arc volcanic. The spider diagram shows relatively similar of patterns as well as in the use of the isotope 143Nd/144Nd versus 87Sr/86Sr. Tholeiitic Kebasen pillow lava exhibits a slightly hydrothermal alteration (propyilitic alteration) which consists of plagioclase (labradorite-bytownite), olivine, pyroxene (diopside), hornblende, volcanic glass and other secondary minerals (such as iddingsite, zeolite, carbonate, sericite and opaque minerals). The results of the interpretation using the overlay diagram of Mg# and FeO(t)/MgO, diagram Nb/La vs. La/Yb, the overlaid diagram between the diagram of Zr/Y vs. Zr, newly developed diagram for sedimentary recycling (Th/Ce vs. SiO2) reveal the Kebasen lava is a differentiated tholeiitic rock with relatively low of Mg# (Mg# < 55) which is generated from geotectonic forearc ACM (Active Continental Margin) and involves the sedimentary recycling (Th/Ce > 0.1); furthermore, the trace element constituent is interpreted based upon the melting of oceanic slab (Zr/Y ~ 3). The magmatism of Kebasen lava is potentially formed at temperature of ~ 1240 oC and a pressure of ~ 1.7 GPa at the depth of ~ 56 Km.

Published: July 2021

DOI:10.17014/ijog.8.2.265-274Erelu dam is geologically within the Precambrian Basement Complex of southwestern Nigeria, which serves a principal source of water supply to an increasing population; currently at about 779,318. In an attempt to investigate the integrity of the dam, horizontal resistivity profiling (HRP) of dipole-dipole and Schlumberger’s vertical electrical sounding (VES) approaches were explored to delineate the lithologic layers, facies, and geologic structures in the subsurface of the dam. The HRP revealed changes in subsurface conductivity that depicts lateritic hard pan and saturated rock blankets at shallow depth. The vertical geo-electric section delineated predominant four lithologic units. The regolith is 7 m thick and constitutes the vertical rock fill impervious cores of the dam, which is underlained by saprolitic and fresh bedrock. The region of weathered rock depression coincided the shallow saturated anomalous zone and showed surface manifestation of fractured or unconsolidated terrain within the embankment. The fracture serves as conduit for seepage which could be responsible for possible loss in the reservoir water and increases its susceptibility to failure. It is recommended to keep monitoring the seepage with reservoir levels, by periodical geophysical and geotechnical measurements for the two (dry and wet) seasons.
Phase and structural transformations when forming a  welded joint from rail steel. Report 3. The use of thermokinetic and isothermal diagrams of austenite decomposition for selection of optimal modes of electric contact welding

Published: July 2021

During contact flash welding of rails, the metal is heated and continuously cooled in the zone of thermal influence. Accelerated heating and subsequent intensive cooling, implemented by the pulsed flashing-off method, lead to the formation of quenching structures. Subsequently, during the operation of the rails welded joint, this leads to the formation of cracks and to brittle destruction. We have investigated the possibilities of using contact heating after welding to avoid the formation of quenching structures in the metal of the welded joint made of R350LHT rail steel. The thermal cycles during welding and subsequent contact heating were recorded. The regularity of formation of the weld metal structure was established including the zone of thermal influence during pulsed contact heating for R350LHT rail steel. It is shown that contact pulse heating slows down the welded joint cooling and prevents the formation of quenching structures. However, contact pulse heating when using suboptimal modes can also lead to the opposite effect. It is determined that with a significant investment of heat by contact heating, cooling rate of the metal exceeds the critical one, transformation process passes through a diffusion-free mechanism with the formation of martensite coarse-grained structure. The use of thermokinetic and isothermal diagrams of austenite decomposition at known thermal welding cycles allows us to significantly narrow the search limits for optimal modes of contact butt welding of railway rails and subsequent contact heating. The use of optimal contact heating modes makes it possible to obtain a minimum length of heat-affected zones with reduced hardness without the formation of quenching structures in the welded joint of railway rails.

Nowadays, in Hungary, midwives are classified as skilled health workers, and according to their qualifications and professionalism, they are important health care providers. Midwifery, as an ancient profession based on traditions and rituals, was gradually transformed into an in-patient nursing of the 20th-century health care facilities. This study was written on the basis of a diploma work “The Life and Working of Hungarian Midwives in the 20th Century” defended at the Faculty of Health Sciences of Semmelweis University in 2020, inspired by a memorial plaque in honour of the former midwife of Gyömrő. This review presents the professional career and life of the town midwife Liptay, born Ilona Hebrancz (1903-1990). It is based on her records and oral history of her descendants and acquaintances while focusing especially on changes of the traditional midwifery in Hungary.

Női karrier a fegyelmi intézmények között: lelencház- bordélyház-dologház-Magdolna otthon a századfordulón
Authors: Forrai Judit
Published: July 2021

In the last third of the 19th century, the number of Hungary’s urban population mounted dramatically by the natural demographic procedures and the additional impact of industrialisation. All towns overcrowded the in-country migration since rural people flooded the urban areas following the demand of the labour market. Males moved first to the construction industry and new factories and females followed them subsequently. In the emerging urban environment, novel social relationships were created, which stigmatised and criminalised the former tolerated extramarital newborns as outlaws of the society. Charity services of religious organisations turned out to be insufficient, thus caring for these babies was taken over by the Welfare State institutions in the new established foundling hospitals. There were brutal abuses in these facilities: cruel punishments, sexual harassment and “accidental” death cases. Mortality rates in these facilities were extremely high (15-45%) nationwide, nevertheless paediatric diseases and disabilities contributed substantially to the passing away of many children. State care ended by the age of 15 years. Girls were pushed directly to prostitution, which was a strong disciplined “industry” with its specialities and obligations. Any ill behaviour paved the way to the workhouses. Those who wanted to leave the prostitution had to change to the so-called Madeleine Home where they were burdened with hard physical work. These correction facilities were unavoidable for all young girls without traditional family background.
Image Policy as a Tool to Increase the Competitiveness of Recreation Area
Authors: Yachmeneva Valentina , Yachmenev Evgeniy
Published: July 2021

Image policy is a complex tool consisting of a strategy and a set of tactical measures aimed at improving the competitiveness of a recreation area and creating competitive advantages. Due to the government support and the performance of significant federal projects and social programs in the republic, there is a significant growth of popularity, loyalty and trust in tourism industry and sanatorium and resort services of Crimea in domestic and international markets. The article studies the resources that determine the territorial identity of the recreation area of the Republic of Crimea. The purpose of the study is to clarify the conceptual definitions of the image policy of the recreation region, to identify conditions, factors, objects and events that favorably affect the image of the territory. The hypothesis of the study is the assumption that the analysis of the current positioning of the Republic of Crimea in different areas of image policy will reveal the conditions, factors, objects and events that increase the competitiveness of the recreation territory and create its competitive advantages. The analysis of conditions, factors, objects and events has shown that the image of the territory is created at international, macro and meso levels. The Republic of Crimea, having been a part of the Russian Federation for seven years, has achieved significant results, as evidenced by national and international ratings. The study revealed that the Republic of Crimea, with its rich resource potential, is poorly represented in a number of ratings or is not represented at all in some significant ratings. Despite some positive trends, there is a number of problems that need to be solved immediately such as public utilities reorganization; development of entertainment industry; getting public-private partnership more involved in coastal facilities developing and maintaining. The existence and condition of objects of cultural and historical heritage, monumental parks of landscape and garden architecture, balneological resources and climatic conditions reflect territorial identity and favorably affect the image of the recreation territory.
The Future of Customs Administration
Authors: Sodnomova Svetlana
Published: July 2021

The global growth of international trade puts significant pressure on governments to ensure efficient, fast and reliable border crossing and cargo clearance procedures. The article analyzes the experience of customs administration development. The transformation of approaches, which can be implemented in the field of customs management, is shown. Over the past few decades, customs authorities have changed significantly their approach of the activities. Maintaining a high level of security and conducting effective control were found to be possible if there is a comprehensive modernization program based on information technologies that can analyze amounts of information. Developing countries, based on the experience of the United States and the EU, being involved actively in the world trade turnover, are implementing intensively the best practices of customs administration. The future of customs administration is linked to changes in the environment in which customs authorities operate and changes in the activities of customs authorities themselves. In this regard, disclosure of legislation, equipment of customs authorities, customs culture and flexibility are the key areas that require changes.
On the Integrated Descriptions of Metaphorical Sememes of Verbs
Authors: Peng Yuhai
Published: July 2021

Cognitive metaphor is an important way and mechanism of semantic derivation of verbs, the resulting large number of verbal metaphorical sememes has different expressions in their semantic features, formal syntax, communicative structure and even modality and pragmatics. This paper thoroughly and carefully discusses the problem of semantic change of verbal metaphor in terms of the integrated description method of the Moscow Semantic School. Thus, we will create a unique and innovative framework and theoretical model of generalized formal feature analysis, we will also try to introduce formal semantic description and micro-level semantic interpretation into the analysis system of semantic change of the verbal metaphor. Furthermore, we will describe in detail and characterize a number of changes caused by metaphorical semantic change of Russian verbs from the perspective of multi-dimensional integration. This study breaks down the barriers between semantics, cognition, pragmatics and grammar and the traditional analysis pattern of semantic derivation which contributes to significant broadening of the theoretical semantic vision and deepening of the research of cognitive semantics problems of verbal metaphor. It also helps explore innovative analytical methods and strategies for the study of Russian lexical and syntactic semantics.
Are Budget and Current Account Deficits Twins in Turkey? Evidence from Residual-based Fourier Cointegration and Fourier Causality Analyses
Authors: BİLMAN Mustafa Erhan
Published: July 2021

This paper explores the relationship between the Turkish fiscal and current account balances with quarterly data spanning through 2006:1-2020:2 and adopting residual-based Fourier cointegration (or Fourier Engle-Granger, FEG) and Fourier Granger causality approaches. The findings from the FEG estimations suggest that budget and current account balances are cointegrated under smooth breaks in the series. More specifically, an improvement in the fiscal balance leads also to an amelioration in the current account balance - an outcome in line with the twin deficit hypothesis. In addition, a Fourier Granger causality analysis is performed for robustness check purposes. The findings are consistent with those from the FEG tests, which imply that a one-way causality running from the fiscal to the external balance is proved to be the case under smooth structural changes.
Quick Fungal DNA extraction from colonies on plates v2
Authors: Debler Johannes
Published: July 2021

Adapted from Chi, M. H., Park, S. Y., & Lee, Y. H. (2009). Colony PCR on fungal colonies grown on plates does not work as well as it does for bacteria (it usually doesn't work at all). DNA therefore needs to be extracted first. As this DNA will only be used as a PCR template to check for presence / absence of individual genes I am not too concerend about high molecular weight or purity. This protocol is quick and can be used toprocess several samples at the same time.

This standard version of ourprotocol describesthe commoncase where an individual leaf is large enough to entirely cover the reflectance or transmission port of the integrating sphere. Briefly, six mature, healthy-looking and sunlit leaves from a canopy plant are selected for measurements of adaxial reflectance and transmittance. Reflectance and transmittance measurementsare referenced to a calibrated Spectralon® diskand corrected for stray light.Our leaf spectroscopy protocol builds from that of theCarnegie Airborne Observatory.
Towards Inclusion in Spanish Higher Education: Understanding the Relationship between Identification and Discrimination
Authors: Gallego-Noche Beatriz , Goenechea Cristina , Antolínez‐Domínguez Inmaculada , Valero‐Franco Concepción
Published: July 2021

It is more and more evident that there is diversity among university students, but this diversity encompasses a wide variety of personal characteristics that, on occasion, may be subject to rejection or discrimination. The feeling of inequality is the result of one stand‐alone characteristic or an intersection of many. To widen our knowledge of this diversity and to be able to design actions with an inclusive approach, we have set out to explore the relationship between students’ feelings of discrimination, their group identification and their intersections. Participants for the study are selected from protected groups which fall into the following criteria: ethnic minority, illness, migrant minority, disability, linguistic minority, sexual orientation, income, political ideology, gender, age and religion. We will refer to this relationship as the ‘discrimination rate.’ To fulfil our objective, we have given a questionnaire to a sample of 2,553 students from eight Spanish universities. The results indicate that the characteristics with which they most identify are religion, age, sex and political ideology. However, the highest rate of discrimination is linked to linguistic minority, ideology and migration. Regarding intersectionality, it is worth noting that 16.6% of students feel discriminated against for more than one characteristic, with the most frequent relationships being the following: (1) ethnic or migrant minorities (2) sexual orientation, sex, being under 30, leftist ideology, low income, linguistic minority and (3) Christian Catholic, right‐wing and upper‐class ideology.
Legibility Zones: An Empirically-Informed Framework for Considering Unbelonging and Exclusion in Contemporary English Academia
Authors: Wren Butler Jessica
Published: July 2021

This article introduces a new, empirically-derived conceptual framework for considering exclusion in English higher education (HE): legibility zones. Drawing on interviews with academic employees in England, it suggests that participants orientate themselves to a powerful imaginary termed the hegemonic academic. Failing to align with this ideal can engender a sense of dislocation conceptualised as unbelonging. The mechanisms through which hegemonic academic identity is constituted and unbelonging is experienced are mapped onto three domains: the institutional, the ideological, and the embodied. The framework reveals the mutable and intersecting nature of these zones, highlighting the complex dynamics of unbelonging and the attendant challenge presented to inclusion projects when many apparatuses of exclusion are perceived as fundamental to what HE is for, what an academic is, and how academia functions.
