Applications and prospects of the automation of compound flavor baijiu production by solid-state fermentation
Authors: Cheng Wei , Chen Xuefeng , Zhou Duan , Xiong Fengkui
Published: November 2022

Baijiu, the national liquor of China, is produced using traditional solid-state fermentation (SSF). SSF automation during compound flavor baijiu (CFB) production can considerably reduce labor intensity and required manpower, improve the working environment, decrease costs, and increase efficiency. The approaches for SSF automation in CFB production can provide a reference for the automation of SSF in other industries. Therefore, this review compares the traditional and automated processes for jiuqu starter production, SSF, and solid-state distillation during baijiu brewing. Furthermore, specific applications of automation technology and equipment are summarized for each process. The problems and challenges associated with the automation of the process are then detailed and future development directions are proposed. Thus, this review provides an overall introduction to and insight into the developments and challenges in the automation of the CFB brewing process, helping to promote automation in the brewing of other baijiu flavor classes and SSF products.

Published: November 2022

In this study, the effect of pure Ni and Ni–SiO2 nanocomposites coatings on corrosion, wear resistance and thermal conductivity of 316 stainless steel substrates was investigated with the purpose of extending the service life of 316 stainless steel plate heat exchangers. The nanocomposite coatings were developed by electroplating process in a Watts bath in different concentration values of SiO2 nanoparticles (10, 20 and 30 g l−1). Electrochemical corrosion was run to examine the corrosive performance of the coatings. The results showed that the Ni–SiO2 nanocomposite with concentration of 30 g l−1 had a higher corrosion resistance. A pin on disk wear test demonstrated that, in comparison to 316 stainless steel, the wear resistance of the Ni–SiO2 nanocomposite (30 g l−1) was up to 25% lower while its friction coefficient was almost the same. In addition, as measured via the laser flash method and differential scanning calorimetry, the thermal diffusivity and specific heat capacity of the sample respectively were found to be 32 and 43% lower in comparison to 316 stainless steel. Microhardness measurement via a Vickers microindenter showed that the microhardness of the Ni–SiO2 nanocomposite coating was more than three times higher than that of 316 stainless steel for all the reinforcement concentrations.

Cross sections of the 86Sr(p,3n)84mY, 86Sr(p,αn)82mRb, and 86Sr(p,x)85gSr reactions were measured from their respective thresholds up to 16.2 MeV and from 23.0 to 44.1 MeV at FZJ, and from 14.3 to 24.5 MeV at LBNL, using 96.4% enriched 86SrCO3 as target material. Thin targets prepared by sedimentation were irradiated with protons in a stacked-form, and the induced radioactivity was measured by high-resolution γ-ray spectrometry. Nuclear model calculations based on the code TALYS reproduced our experimental cross section data well. From the excitation functions, the integral yields of the above three radionuclides were calculated. The yield of 85gSr via the natSr(n,γ) process was also measured using the TRIGA Mark-II reactor at AERE, Savar. A comparison of the reactor and cyclotron production of carrier-added 85gSr is given. The production possibilities of the three investigated radionuclides in no-carrier-added forms at a 30 MeV cyclotron via new routes are discussed.
Das Schwert, der Schild und der Igel – Die Stärkung der Abschreckung im Rahmen des neuen Strategischen Konzepts der NATO
Authors: Monaghan Sean
Published: November 2022

Kurzfassung

Auf dem NATO Gipfel von Madrid wurde nicht nur ein neues strategisches Konzept der NATO beschlossen, auch wurden Maßnahmen eingeleitet, die Abschreckung und Verteidigung stärken sollen. Das Konzept setzt den Erwartungshorizont sehr hoch an und die NATO hat eine Vielzahl von Aufgaben zu erfüllen, um den selbst gesetzten Erwartungen gerecht zu werden. Die NATO sollte die grundlegenden Lehren ihres früheren strategischen Konzeptes revitalisieren und modernisieren, mit dem sie seinerzeit erfolgreich von sowjetischen Angriffen abgeschreckt hat: das Zusammenspiel von „Schwert“, „Schild“ und „Igel.“ Das bedeutet, dass die nukleare Abschreckungsmacht der NATO gestärkt werden muss, das in eine konventionelle Vorneverteidigung zu investieren ist und dass die Fähigkeiten der östlichen Alliierten zur Abwehr und Abschreckung gegen alle Formen russischer Aggression zu verbessern sind.
Anticipatory postural adjustments mediate the changes in fear-related behaviors in individuals with chronic low back pain
Authors: Nishi Yuki , Osumi Michihiro , Morioka Shu
Published: November 2022

Objectives

The role(s) of anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs) in changes in subsequent motor and postural controls in response to movement perturbations are unclear in individuals with chronic low back pain (CLBP). This study aimed to clarify the relationships among kinesiophobia, APAs, lumbar kinematic output, and postural control associated with lumbar movement in individuals with CLBP.

Methods

CLBP participants (n=48) and healthy controls (HCs) without CLBP (n=22) performed a bend-forward task using their lumbar region on a force platform and returned upright. Each participant’s lumbar movements were recorded using an electrogoniometer. We calculated the APA duration, the duration of lumbar direction changes from forward to backward, and the center of pressure (COP) position after lumbar movement tasks completion.

Results

Compared with the HCs, the duration of direction changes in lumbar movement and the APA duration in CLBP participants were prolonged, and the COP position was shifted forward. The mediation analysis revealed that the duration of lumbar direction changes in the CLBP group was subjected to a significant indirect effect of APAs and a direct effect of kinesiophobia, and the COP position was subjected to a significant indirect effect of kinesiophobia through APAs.

Conclusions

APAs partially mediate the relationship between kinesiophobia and changes in lumbar motor control and mediate the relationship between kinesiophobia and postural control in response to movement perturbations. These findings expand our understanding of APAs in altered subsequent movement and postural controls due to kinesiophobia in individuals with CLBP.

How does building healthy soils impact sustainable use of water resources in irrigated agriculture?
Authors: Acevedo Sara E. , Waterhouse Hannah , Barrios-Masias Felipe , Dierks Janina , Renwick Leah L.R. , Bowles Timothy M.
Published: November 2022

As blue water resources become increasingly scarce with more frequent droughts and overuse, irrigated agriculture faces significant challenges to reduce its water footprint while maintaining high levels of crop production. Building soil health has been touted as an important means of enhancing the resilience of agroecosystems to drought, mainly with a focus in rainfed systems reliant on green water through increases in infiltration and soil water storage. Yet, green water often contributes only a small fraction of the total crop water budget in irrigated agricultural regions. To scope the potential for how soil health management could impact water resources in irrigated systems, we review how soil health affects soil water flows, plant–soil–microbe interactions, and plant water capture and productive use. We assess how these effects could interact with irrigation management to help make green and blue water use more sustainable. We show how soil health management could (1) optimize green water availability (e.g., by increasing infiltration and soil water storage), (2) maximize productive water flows (e.g., by reducing evaporation and supporting crop growth), and (3) reduce blue water withdrawals (e.g., by minimizing the impacts of water stress on crop productivity). Quantifying the potential of soil health to improve water resource management will require research that focuses on outcomes for green and blue water provisioning and crop production under different irrigation and crop management strategies. Such information could be used to improve and parameterize finer scale crop, soil, and hydraulic models, which in turn must be linked with larger scale hydrologic models to address critical water-resources management questions at watershed or regional scales. While integrated soil health-water management strategies have considerable potential to conserve water—especially compared to irrigation technologies that enhance field-level water use efficiency but often increase regional water use—transitions to these strategies will depend on more than technical understanding and must include addressing interrelated structural and institutional barriers. By scoping a range of ways enhancing soil health could improve resilience to water limitations and identifying key research directions, we inform research and policy priorities aimed at adapting irrigated agriculture to an increasingly challenging future.

Vault RNAs (vtRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs and highly expressed in many eukaryotes. Here, we identified vtRNA2‐1 as a novel regulator of the intestinal barrier via interaction with RNA‐binding protein HuR. Intestinal mucosal tissues from patients with inflammatory bowel diseases and from mice with colitis or sepsis express increased levels of vtRNAs relative to controls. Ectopically expressed vtRNA2‐1 decreases the levels of intercellular junction (IJ) proteins claudin 1, occludin, and E‐cadherin and causes intestinal epithelial barrier dysfunction in vitro, whereas vtRNA2‐1 silencing promotes barrier function. Increased vtRNA2‐1 also decreases IJs in intestinal organoid, inhibits epithelial renewal, and causes Paneth cell defects ex vivo. Elevating the levels of tissue vtRNA2‐1 in the intestinal mucosa increases the vulnerability of the gut barrier to septic stress in mice. vtRNA2‐1 interacts with HuR and prevents HuR binding to claudin 1 and occludin mRNAs, thus decreasing their translation. These results indicate that vtRNA2‐1 impairs intestinal barrier function by repressing HuR‐facilitated translation of claudin 1 and occludin.

Published: November 2022

In this era of globalization where the times are increasingly modern and increasingly advanced, especially in Indonesia, which respects human rights very much, to be able to equalize the right to education in Indonesia is not easy because the territory of Indonesia is very wide and has many differences. Technology in various regions also plays an important role in progress in equitable distribution of education considering that in eastern Indonesia technological progress itself is not evenly felt throughout the community. it is the duty of the government to overcome this challenge for the future of the Indonesian nation and to realize Indonesia's goal of educating the nation's life. Not only because of the region, the difference in social status in society can also affect the distribution of education in Indonesia. In writing this article, it is hoped that it will be a correction for all Indonesian people to always uphold the right to education for all levels of Indonesian society indiscriminately in order to realize it in the ideals of the Indonesian nation as expected by the ancestors.

An Uncertain Multiple-Criteria Choice Method on Grounds of T-Spherical Fuzzy Data-Driven Correlation Measures
Authors: Wang Jih-Chang , Chen Ting-Yu
Published: November 2022

T-spherical fuzzy (T-SF) sets furnish a constructive and flexible manner to manifest higher-order fuzzy information in realistic decision-making contexts. The objective of this research article is to deliver an original multiple-criteria choice method that utilizes a correlation-focused approach toward computational intelligence in uncertain decision-making activities with T-spherical fuzziness. This study introduces the notion of T-SF data-driven correlation measures that are predicated on two types of the square root function and the maximum function. The purpose of these measures is to exhibit the overall desirability of choice options across all performance criteria using T-SF comprehensive correlation indices within T-SF decision environments. This study executes an application for location selection and demonstrates the effectiveness and suitability of the developed techniques in T-SF uncertain conditions. The comparative analysis and outcomes substantiate the justifiability and the strengths of the propounded methodology in pragmatic situations under T-SF uncertainties.

Published: November 2022

How can social work courses prepare students to be scholars of social movements, and also to act in solidarity with movements for social justice? How can graduate programs reimagine the professional socialization of social work students from aspiring for expertise toward a stance of life-long learning? How can instructors more deeply leverage our teaching practice to advance justice in our communities? This paper traces one attempt to answer these questions through a three-quarter graduate social work course designed to deepen students’ skills and knowledge in practices for social transformation, while amplifying existing social justice movements. Drawing on reflections from the instructor and five students, course artifacts, and insights from other students and community partners, this case study offers a model of community-engaged teaching that centers solidarity, reciprocity, and justice.
Principles Based Budgeting: Resources for Revisioning Academic Planning

Published: November 2022

In working toward a budgeting framework that responds to the often harmful impacts of neoliberal accounting practices on people and places, this research has been guided by deep-rooted principles that were gifted to the University of Saskatchewan, through a rigorous Indigenous-led community consultation process which interpreted institutional strategic principles, using Cree and Michif terms: nākatēyihtamowin | nakaatayihtaamoowin (sustainability), nihtāwihcikēwin | nihtaooshchikaywin (creativity), nanātohk pimātisowina | nanaatoohk pimatishoowin (diversity), and āniskōmohcikēwin | Naashkoopitamihk (connectivity). This consultation demonstrated the pressing need to redefine what a successful budgeting framework might mean by looking beyond the role of a financial plan and adopting a more broad-based approach using socially and environmentally responsible lenses that incorporate new directions based on Indigenous knowledges, world views, and values invested in creating a more inclusive and productive campus in targeted, incremental, and structural ways. This exploratory study builds on information gathered internally from the university’s student governance structures, broad conversations within an ad hoc advisory group, and relevant literature. An important role of budgeting is that it can guide performance measurement and management; our exploration included looking for ways to identify potentially “new-old” measurements of success as they pertain to the university’s stated objectives and aspirational goals. Current challenges of resource allocation faced by the university were reviewed to identify bottlenecks based on funding limitations that cause barriers to accessibility to academic and non-academic supports, and undesirable environmental effects. Our study raises more questions than answers, but provides insight into potential future processes, which we anticipate in this field report.

Here, we have studied the osmotic parameters of erythrocytes frozen in the composition-modified media with glycerol and 1,2-propanediol. A decreased glycerol concentration in a cryopreservative and an increased content of impermeable protective component sorbitol were established to affect the erythrocyte characteristics at different stages of freezing and hypothermic storage. Reduction of 1,2-propanediol and NaCl concentrations when augmenting the sucrose content in cryopreservative agent enabled changing a two-stage mode of erythrocyte freeze-thawing to the single-stage one. The presented here modification of cryoprotective medium allowed to diminish the level of damage to erythrocytes during freeze-thawing-washing out, that might prevent the inflammation development in a body when transfusing these cells.

The article is about modern manifestations of ethnocultural regionalism and socially disintegrating tendencies in Ukraine, especially on the negative consequences of the dissemination of the ideology of political Ruthenianism and corresponding identification practices in the Transcarpathia, that is potentially a threat of political destabilization in the state. It is asserted in the study, that these destructive phenomena are not the consequence of objective processes of the evolution of linguistic-cultural peculiarities of the local communities, but are motivated by subjective factors, inspired by geopolitical impacts. It is about a speculative use of the local ethnonyms as a reason for social destabilization and cultivation of territorial and centrifugal tendencies on the borderlands of the state. The published work is aimed at the description of the peculiarities of the language and ethnic culture of Transcarpathia population as a result of the regional and local development of the people of the western Ukrainian frontier, who still haven’t lost their Ukrainian nature despite long-term foreign ethnic and language influences.

Authors: Bogetz Jori F. , Johnston Emily E. , Thienprayoon Rachel , Patneaude Arika , Ananth Prasanna , Rosenberg Abby R. ,   Cambia Advisory Workgroup
Published: November 2022

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

Children with complex chronic conditions (CCCs) and their families deserve high-quality pediatric palliative care (PPC) throughout their illness trajectory, including at end of life (EOL). Standard EOL quality measures (QM) have only recently been proposed, require surveys and/or manual chart review, and focus on children with cancer. Therefore, we aimed to develop expert-endorsed, hospital-based, primary PPC quality measures for EOL care for all children with CCCs that could be automatically abstracted from the electronic health record (EHR).

METHODS

We followed a modified Delphi approach for expert opinion gathering, including: (1) a comprehensive literature review of existing adult and pediatric measures (>200 measures); (2) formation of a multidisciplinary expert panel (n = 9); (3) development of a list of candidate measures (20 measures); (4) national survey to assess each QM’s importance and abstraction feasibility and propose new measures (respondents = 95); and (5) final expert panel endorsement.

RESULTS

Seventeen EHR-abstractable QM were endorsed in 5 domains: (1) health care utilization: 4 measures (eg, <2 emergency department visits in the last 30 days of life); (2) interprofessional services: 4 measures (eg, PPC in the last 30 days of life); (3) medical intensity: 5 measures (eg, death outside the ICU); (4) symptom management: 2 measures (eg, documented pain score within 24 hours of admission); and (5) communication: 2 measures (eg, code status documentation).

CONCLUSIONS

This study developed a list of EHR-abstractable, hospital-based primary PPC EOL QM, providing a foundation for quality improvement initiatives and further measure development in the future.

Published: November 2022

The contemporary discourse on human rights is a discourse in which its participants are using the language of polarization, exclusion and stigmatization towards various social groups, e.g. Ukrainians, women, migrants, refugees, LGBT. The inalienable and universal nature of human rights is being questioned as well as an equality before the law. In political communication, the language of discrediting political opponents is increasingly used, as well as the rhetoric of fear, aversion and hostility towards "strangers" is used. This is because the contemporary public discourse on human rights is increasingly infected with mis(dis)information and malicious information and its participants – from Kremlin propagandists to national agents of influence – use the manipulative infrastructure of social media.

Authors:   Moscow Institute of Art and Industry, Yakunin Vadim
Published: November 2022

Introduction. The article examines the religious situation and activities of Orthodox religious organizations, as well as changes in state-church relations in 1988–1997 on the example of Togliatti. The correlation between official religious policy and its concrete implementation on the ground is analyzed. The purpose of the article is to study the nature and assess the results of state-church relations in Togliatti after the adoption of the new Statute of the Russian Orthodox Church in 1988, the USSR Law “On freedom of conscience and religious organizations” since October 1, 1990. The chronological framework of the study covers the years 1988–1997, since during this period it is possible to analyze how the church policy was carried out in this area after the adoption of the new Statute of the Russian Orthodox Church, the USSR Law “On Freedom of Conscience” conscience and religious organizations”dated October 1, 1990. Methods and materials. The purpose of the article was achieved using archival documents and materials from periodicals. The research methodology includes the method of document analysis, and when working with periodic materials, the method of synchronous comparison with documentary material was used. Analysis. In 1988, there was only 1 registered religious community in Togliatti in the name of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God. In 1989–1997, it was possible to organize 7 Orthodox parishes in different districts of the city, 1 monastery, and 3 house churches. Despite the difficult times of crisis, their material base grew stronger.

Evolution of British Euroscepticism in the Second Half of the 20th Century
Authors:   Voronezh State University, Atapin Evgenii
Published: November 2022

Introduction. The United Kingdom is the most prominent example of a Eurosceptic country in the EU. For many years the United Kingdom did not feel a part of Europe. Great Britain was geographically separated from continental Europe and psychologically distant from the European integration movement established by the 1957 Treaty of Rome. The British Eurosceptic tradition rested on these geographic and psychological characteristics. Eurosceptic traditions included political, economic, linguistic, cultural and historical aspects that made it difficult for the United Kingdom to accept European integration. Methods and materials. The research methodology is based on narrative and comparative methods. The materials of the study incorporate statements of certain British politicians about attitudes towards European integration, works devoted to the analysis of Euroscepticism in the United Kingdom and manifestos of some far-right political parties. Analysis. A study of the attitude to European integration of the two main political forces of Great Britain, namely the Conservative and the Labour Parties, in the second half of the 20th century is carried out. Results. The study results in the creation of a periodization of British Euroscepticism in the second half of the 20th century. Three stages of evolution of British Euroscepticism in the period under study are distinguished: 1) the stage preceding the entry of Great Britain into the European Communities, conventionally called “Labour”; 2) the stage of the United Kingdom’s participation in the “common market”, conventionally called “Conservative”; 3) the stage of Britain’s participation in the European Union, conventionally called “Right-wing populist”. Their chronological framework is established and their main characteristics are given.

Introduction. The study analyses the reflection of the infrastructure projects on the Trans-Caspian transport corridor in the media. By combining the roles of transport corridor as a means of regional cooperation and overcoming ethnic issues between the countries, it is aimed at addressing two main questions. The first question would be on the reflection of infrastructure projects on the Trans-Caspian transport corridor in the media in the context of promoting regional cooperation, the second on whether news about infrastructure projects contains any ethnic based messages of discrimination or hostility to exclude any country from such projects. The BTK railway project is used as a case in this paper in this respect. Methods and materials. A conceptual content analysis methodology is applied in this study, which is limited to online media news of three major news agencies of Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey within a specific time period beginning from the official inauguration of the BTK until the date of conducting this research – 30 October 2017 – 15 May 2020. Analysis and results. The findings reveal that the news investigated within the context of this research involves positive messages supporting regional cooperation, mutual benefits and common interests that may have an incentive impact on public perceptions. It was also discovered that the news about the BTK railway project does not contain any content otherizing or excludes any country, which may help societies to focus on regional cooperation rather than vulnerable ethnic issues. Considering the difficulty of control of social media, it has been recommended that official news may avoid publishing messages with provocative content. Authors’ contribution. A.N. Uste developed the content of the article and carried out its general scientific editing. U. Sanili Aydin proposed a scheme for research analysis. The authors jointly analyzed the results.
International Networks for Sustainable Development: The World Bank and Russian Flaring Legislation
Authors:   MGIMO University, Crowley-Vigneau Anne , Baykov Andrey ,   MGIMO University, Kalyuzhnova Yelena ,   University of Reading
Published: November 2022

Introduction. This paper deals with the international environmental norms on combatting the flaring of Associated Petroleum Gas (APG) and its adoption by Russia (decrees no. 7 and 1148). Flaring, or the systematic burning of associated gas during oil production, leads to the release of carbon dioxide and other harmful substances, endangering the surrounding and global environment. Methods. The authors use qualitative methods resting upon the analysis of primary and secondary documents, including articles from the media, legal texts, official communications and scholarly literature, to trace back the conditions that brought about the emergence of a distinct international norms condemning flaring. Analysis. The analysis of the norm through its life cycle reveals that the multi-faceted framing strategies employed by the Transnational Advocacy Network allowed the issue of flaring to gain salience in a relatively short timeframe. The flexible, durable, technical and apolitical approach adopted by the World Bank’s Global Gas Flaring Reduction Private Public partnership explains the Russian Government’s willingness to address the issue of flaring and to legislate on APG utilization. Results. The findings suggest that international campaigning for environmental protection need not be confrontational and that transnational advocacy networks may gain in efficiency if they adopt targeted strategies and systematically recode their message for each group of actors they plan to sensitize. Authors contribution. This article is based on research carried out by one of the authors, Anne Crowley-Vigneau for her dual doctoral thesis on international norms and Local Content policies completed at MGIMO University and the University of Reading. As the coordinating author she gathered the primary data through expert interviews. Andrey Baykov participated in coding, triangulating the data and studying legal documents. Prof. Yelena Kalyuzhnova, the supervisor of this research, provided guidance and created the research methodology. The writing of the paper was a joint effort of all three authors.

Introduction. The article presents the results of archaeoparasitological analysis of the Phanagoria necropolis materials. Methods and materials. We studied soil samples obtained during the processing of anthropological material (sacrums) from 45 individuals. Results. The eggs of two species of intestinal parasites - human whipworm (Trichuris trichiura) and broad tapeworm (Diphyllobothrium latum) were found. Analysis. Consideration of the obtained data in the historical and cultural context has shown that similar, relatively high frequency of parasitosis caused by human whipworm is observed virtually in all investigated archaeological monuments from the Mediterranean, which are synchronic to the studied period of existence of Phanagoria. This may indicate the absence of fundamental differences in the causes of the incidence of trichuriasis between the “ancient centers” and their periphery. The absence of statistically reliable differences in the incidence of trichuriasis between epochs, and also between gender and age groups, indicate the same intensity of the factors leading to the infection of the ancient population of Phanagoria with this pathogen in all studied time periods of the city, regardless of gender and age. The same route of transmission of human worms and a number of intestinal infections also indicates the assumed high frequency of the latter. The detection of Diphillobothrium latum eggs indicates the presence of freshwater fish in the diet, which led to the assumption of a high importance of the latter for the fishery in Phanagoria. Diphillobothriasis infestation in more remote areas also cannot be ruled out, given the presence of roads and the ability to move to other river basins. Authors’ contribution. S.M. Slepchenko organized the study, conducted microscopy, processed and interpreted obtained data. Writing of the article. A.N. and O.M. Voroshilov conducted excavations, composited archaeological context, involved in interpreting the data. M.O. Filimonova performed laboratory processing of the crosses and microscopy of the material. N.G. Svirkina carried out the selection of sacrums stored in the museum of the Phanagoria Reserve.
Petitions of the Perm People in 1605–1608 as a Source on the History of the Central and Local Government of the Moscow State (By the Materials of the Solikamsk Archive)
Authors:   Volgograd State University, Rybalko Natalia
Published: November 2022

Introduction. The article examines the issues of the functioning of central and local government in the Muscovite state at the beginning of the 17th century, mainly during the reign of V.I. Shuisky. The study was carried out on the example of Great Perm – a region that was remote from the main military events of the Time of Troubles and had a developed system of zemstvo self-government. Methods and materials. It is based on 44 petitions of Perm. Information about them was reconstructed by the method of mutual correspondence of documents according to references in other documents of office work of the Perm order hut. This is fund No. 122 “Acts of Solikamsk” of the Archives of the Saint Petersburg Institute of History of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Analysis. The petitions are divided into 3 groups according to their origin: laymen, officials and private individuals. Each document is given titles according to their self-designations and content. These are notification, claim, дж petitions. The circumstances of the cases in which the petitions were filed are revealed, authorship is established (on whose behalf the document came), as well as the outcome of the cases. Results. The authors of the petitions were people from different social groups: peasants, townspeople, zemstvo elders and kissers, customs deacons, yasak voguls, coachmen, merchants, priests, Cossacks or residents of Perm without indicating social status. 29 petitions were submitted to Moscow in the Nizhny Novgorod and Novgorod chetvertnoy prikaz, 15 were considered in Great Perm. For most issues, the petitioner first received a decree in Moscow, and then brought a ready-made solution for execution to Great Perm. Zemsky worlds participated in the investigation of robberies, thefts and interpersonal conflicts, but as a result, the clerks had to write a formal reply to Moscow. Thus, at the beginning of the 17th century, the Muscovite state sought to implement a model of strict centralization of power through control by the prikazes of Moscow.
