Croftangry’s Narrative
Authors: Cook Daniel
Published: January 2022

A story-like preface to Chronicles of the Canongate, ‘Croftangry’s Narrative’ is at once a primer for aspiring writers, young or old, and a subtle career retrospective of the country’s most famous author, the man behind the mask of Waverley. Chrystal Croftangry embodies the complications faced by a would-be writer in a period of pronounced partisanship. He claims to sit on the borders of two post-Union Scotlands, one in which the Jacobite risings could now be safely romanticised, and one in which they have fallen into misleading mythology. The extent to which he can successfully navigate his identity as a modern Scot, in such a diverse country, bears the burden of the narrative. Often this burden leads him to make pompous assertions about himself, and to patronise others. Rather than outright satirise the figure of the modern author, I wish to argue, Scott spotlights the hidden difficulties faced by his and upcoming generations. Like Scott, Croftangry searches for the right audience. But what is the right audience?
An Indian Novella
Authors: Cook Daniel
Published: January 2022

The Surgeon’s Daughter runs to the length of a novella, but structurally at least, it functions as a condensed novel. Across multiple chapters, Scott flits between different plots and settings – principally India, a country with which he had some connection through friends and family, though he relied on historical and literary sources. A study of form and genre, this chapter explores the ways in which Scott’s condensed novel snatches unlikely conventions from competing fictional genres, sets up and frustrates conflicting plotlines, and repeatedly places principal and minor characters in functional opposition (as rival suitors, unsuitable companions, failed parents and the like). The self-entitled Richard Middlemas even ‘steals’ the Indian storyline promised to the true hero, Adam Hartley. And Hartley is denied a hero’s ending (or natural conclusion, in the narrator’s ominous phrase). Or rather, the object of his desire, Menie Grey, returns to Scotland unmarried and wealthy – a modern heroine’s ending. The Surgeon’s Daughter, this chapter argues, both revels in and baulks at the confines of the shorter form.
Conclusions
Authors: Vlassopoulos Kostas
Published: January 2022

This conclusion summarises the major findings of the book and considers some important avenues of future research. The study of ancient slavery will need to eschew its exclusive focus on Greek and Roman slavery and adopt a wider framework, which will explore the entanglement between slaving and the economic, social, political and cultural processes that linked together the Mediterranean, the Black Sea, temperate Europe, the Near East and North Africa. Ancient historians need their own equivalent of the framework of the Atlantic world that is currently shaping the study of early modern slavery.
What’s with the Spanish, Dude? Identity Development, Language Acquisition and Shame while Coaching La Comedia of Errors
Authors: Espinosa Micha
Published: January 2022

Speaking from her position as a voice and text coach of OSF’s bilingual production of La Comedia
of Errors, Micha Espinosa’s chapter discusses her experiences as they pertain to her on-going research interests in identity development, language acquisition, and shame. The production of Shakespeare, which fully embraced the spectrum of Latinx identity and language, allowed Espinosa’s bilingual identity to be seen in a way she had previously never encountered despite working professionally in the field for over two decades. Throughout her career of teaching bilingual/bicultural workshops, working, and researching the experiences of Latinx actors, Espinosa has witnessed how both second-language learners of English and Spanish struggle with the debilitating effects of shame and shame memory when it comes to working in different languages. Indeed, language ability is deeply tied to one’s identity, a fact that is evidenced in La Comedia of Errors. As this chapter details, working on a bilingual production of Shakespeare in a fully-supportive environment built on inclusion can be transformative for Latinx actors who have become accustomed to feeling shame surrounding their linguistic identities and abilities.
Tratamiento Antiviral para COVID-19 en el Perú: Más allá del uso "mágico" de ivermectina
Authors: Gonzales-Zamora José A.
Published: January 2022

Desde el inicio de la pandemia, en el Perú se ha utilizado medicamentos carentes de fundamento científico para COVID-19, como la ivermectina. A pesar de su probada ineficacia y las consecuencias catastróficas de su implementación, aún es recomendado en algunos centros de atención del país. En el resto del mundo, el avance en el tratamiento antiviral ha sido enorme, destacando el uso de remdesivir, que es el único antiviral para COVID-19 con aprobación total de la FDA, y recomendado en pacientes hospitalizados con enfermedad severa, aunque la evidencia científica también sugiere una gran utilidad en personas de alto riesgo con síntomas leves. Otras terapias importantes son los anticuerpos monoclonales, que son empleados en pacientes ambulatorios con cuadros clínicos leves o moderados. Asimismo, son usados en el ámbito preventivo como profilaxis pre y post exposición. Uno de los más grandes progresos ha sido el desarrollo de antivirales de administración oral, como el molnupiravir y el paxlovid, que han sido recientemente autorizados por la FDA. Lamentablemente no se disponen de estas terapias en el Perú, lo cual es un escenario preocupante con el advenimiento de la tercera ola.

Published: January 2022

The aim of the article is to analyze the directions of public management of foreign economic activity in Ukraine and to determine the regional features of the organization of foreign economic activity.

The research methodology included the use of general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, specification, classification) and special (system-structural research, economic analysis). The scientific novelty of the obtained results is to establish the need for public management of foreign economic activity in the context of regional features as an important aspect of foreign economic policy of the region.

Conclusions. The article clarifies that it is expedient to consider public
administration as an organizing and regulating influence of the state on the social life of people in order to organize, preserve or transform it, based on the power that limits effective social control. It is established that the foreign economic relations of any country should be regulated by the state and regulated by the public. It is determined that some regions have certain features of development and specialization, and therefore have different export potential, and the state of foreign economic activity of the region depends on its implementation. The main goals of regional foreign economic activity are: support and development of existing forms and directions of foreign economic policy; development of new forms of foreign economic activity; formation and development of foreign economic infrastructure; attracting both national and foreign investments; development of
export potential of regions; increasing the competitiveness of regions as a necessary prerequisite for their international integration.
Keywords: export, imports, public administration, foreign economic activity, foreign economic policy, region.
Identification and Validation of an EMT-Related LncRNA Signature for HNSCC to Predict Survival and Immune Landscapes
Authors: Feng Chunyu , Liu Shaopeng , Shang Zhengjun
Published: January 2022

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are increasingly recognized as decisive factors in the progression of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), and they participate in the epithelial–mesenchymal transformation (EMT) of HNSCC. LncRNAs are closely related to the prognosis of patients with HNSCC; thus, it is essential to identify EMT-related lncRNAs with prognostic value for HNSCC. The coexpression network of EMT-related lncRNAs was constructed using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). An EMT-related eight-lncRNA-based prognostic signature was constructed using LASSO Cox regression and Cox proportional hazards analyses. Univariate and multivariate analyses and stratified prognosis confirmed that the prognostic signature was an independent predictive factor. Subsequently, we performed immune cell infiltration analysis, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), and single-sample GSEA (ssGSEA) pathway enrichment analysis to uncover the potential molecular mechanisms of prognostic differences in the high- and low-risk groups. Next, we discussed the relationship between the prognostic signature and immune checkpoint-related genes, their TIDE scores, and the sensitivity of common chemotherapeutics. Finally, we further verified the expression differences in lncRNAs that were included in our signature via RT–qPCR in eighteen paired tissues. In summary, this prognostic signature provides powerful prognostic biomarkers for HNSCC and could serve as a predictor for the sensitivity of common chemotherapeutics and immunotherapy responses as well as providing a reference for further personalized treatment.
Ferroptosis: A Potential Target in Cardiovascular Disease
Authors: Leng Yanlong , Luo Xing , Yu Jiaying , Jia Haibo , Yu Bo
Published: January 2022

Ferroptosis is a new form of regulatory cell death characterized by iron-dependent and intracellular lipid peroxidation. Ferroptosis can be divided into two stages. The first stage is iron overload in the cell, which generates a large amount of reactive oxygen species through the Fenton reaction, and the second stage results from an imbalance of the intracellular antioxidant system. Excessive phospholipid hydroperoxides cannot be removed by reduction reactions, as this could destroy the cell membrane structure and interfere with mitochondrial function, eventually leading to ferroptosis of the cell. Cardiovascular diseases have gradually become the leading cause of death in modern society. The relationship between ferroptosis and the occurrence and progression of cardiovascular disease has become a research hotspot in recent years. In this review, we summarize the mechanism of ferroptosis and its specific role in cardiovascular disease.

Published: January 2022

Objectives

Ultrasound-guided core biopsy (UGCB) for supraclavicular lymph nodes (SLNs) represents an attractive procedure to obtain tissues for lung cancer confirmation. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the performance of UGCB driven by FDG-avid SLNs, as performed by nuclear medicine physicians, in patients with suspected lung cancer.

Methods

Institutional database in our hospital was searched for eligible patients between September 2019 and March 2021. A 3-12 MHz linear probe was used to guide the biopsy process and to ensure that the needle tip was being directed at the metabolically active area that had been indicated by side-by-side PET/CT images. Diagnostic yield, malignancy rate, molecular testing results, and complications were reviewed.

Results

Among the 54 patients included in this study, definite pathological diagnosis from UGCB specimens was achieved in 53 patients, reaching a diagnostic yield of 98.1% (53/54) and a malignancy rate of 96.2% (51/53). Among the 50 patients confirmed as lung cancer, thirty-eight were spared from further invasive procedures which had been planned. Molecular analyses were adequately performed on all the 38 specimens obtained from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLS). The positive rate was 36.8% (14/38) for epidermal growth receptor (EGFR) mutation and 31.6% (12/38) for anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) translocation. 28.9% (11/38) of the patients had a tumor proportion score (TPS) ≥ 50% for PD-L1 expression. No complication was observed and the average biopsy time was 15 min.

Conclusions

Nuclear medicine physicians-performed UGCB driven by FDG-avid SLNs in suspected lung cancer patients could produce a high performance in terms of diagnostic yield, malignancy rate, and molecular analysis, which may obliviate more invasive interventional procedures and lead to fast decisions on subsequent management.
The Use of an FR1 Schedule Operant Approach-Avoidance Paradigm to Measure the Aversiveness of Neuropathic and Inflammatory Pain
Authors: Salcido Celina A. , Argenbright Cassie M. , Aguirre Tiffany , Trujillo Alex D. , Fuchs Perry N.
Published: January 2022

Pain is a subjective, private, yet universal phenomenon that depends on a unique combination of sensory, affective, and evaluative characteristics. Although preclinical models have been used to understand much of pain physiology, the inability to communicate with animals limits affective and evaluative feedback and has constrained traditional behavioral methods to adequately represent and study the multidimensional pain experience. Therefore, this study sought to characterize the affective component of pain within a novel operant approach-avoidance paradigm (AAP) to determine which type of pain (inflammatory and neuropathic) may be more aversive. To reveal the possible differences in pain aversiveness within the AAP paradigm, animals received bilateral inflammatory and neuropathic pain conditions and were given the choice to a) forgo appetitive reward by not receiving noxious stimulus of either inflammatory or neuropathic conditions or b) receive noxious stimulus in exchange for an appetitive reward. Although all pain conditions produced significant hypersensitivity, the AAP results revealed there was no preference in the stimulation of a specific paw in the bilateral pain conditions. The finding suggests that despite unique clinical pain characteristics for inflammatory and neuropathic conditions, the lack of observable differences in the pain conditions may not necessarily equate to the overall similarity in aversiveness, but rather that the fixed ratio (FR1) paradigm presentation allowed appetitive reward to be more salient, highlighting the complexities of competing motivational drives of pain and hunger when satiating hunger is always guaranteed. Thus, future studies should seek to further tease apart this relationship with a different schedule and food-controlled methodologies. The development of such preclinical approaches can thoroughly investigate the intricacy of competing drives and likely reveal important information regarding the complexity of pain, enhancing our understanding of pain perception in individuals suffering from comorbid pain states.
Tri-2-Hydroxyarachidonein Induces Cytocidal Autophagy in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Cancer Cell Models

Published: January 2022

Cell proliferation in pancreatic cancer is determined by a complex network of signaling pathways. Despite the extensive understanding of these protein-mediated signaling processes, there are no significant drug discoveries that could considerably improve a patient’s survival. However, the recent understanding of lipid-mediated signaling gives a new perspective on the control of the physiological state of pancreatic cells. Lipid signaling plays a major role in the induction of cytocidal autophagy and can be exploited using synthetic lipids to induce cell death in pancreatic cancer cells. In this work, we studied the activity of a synthetic lipid, tri-2-hydroxyarachidonein (TGM4), which is a triacylglycerol mimetic that contains three acyl moieties with four double bonds each, on cellular and in vivo models of pancreatic cancer. We demonstrated that TGM4 inhibited proliferation of Mia-PaCa-2 (human pancreatic carcinoma) and PANC-1 (human pancreatic carcinoma of ductal cells) in in vitro models and in an in vivo xenograft model of Mia-PaCa-2 cells. In vitro studies demonstrated that TGM4 induced cell growth inhibition paralleled with an increased expression of PARP and CHOP proteins together with the presence of sub-G0 cell cycle events, indicating cell death. This cytocidal effect was associated with elevated ER stress or autophagy markers such as BIP, LC3B, and DHFR. In addition, TGM4 activated peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ), which induced elevated levels of p-AKT and downregulation of p-c-Jun. We conclude that TGM4 induced pancreatic cell death by activation of cytocidal autophagy. This work highlights the importance of lipid signaling in cancer and the use of synthetic lipid structures as novel and potential approaches to treat pancreatic cancer and other neoplasias.
The Impact of Dementia's Affiliate Stigma on the Mental Health of Relatives: A Cross Section Survey
Authors: Van den Bossche Pauline , Schoenmakers Birgitte
Published: January 2022

Objective

To determine the impact of the affiliate stigma on mental well-being of relatives caring for a person with dementia.

Design

The study was conducted in a cross sectional design.

Setting

The study was conducted in a public setting, addressing relatives caring for a person with dementia.

Participants

Participants were relatives of patients with a formal diagnosis of dementia. Relatives were defined as caring or living closely to a patient. Participants were recruited with the help of care and welfare organizations.

Outcome Measures

The main outcome measure was the impact of the affiliate stigma on mental well-being of caring relatives.

Results

228 participants fully completed the survey. Women, relatives with a higher education and partners experienced more impact of the affiliate stigma on mental well-being than man, relatives with a lower education and relatives with another relationship to the person with dementia (resp. F-ratio = 15.67; p = 0.0001; F-ratio = 2.5865; p = 0.0381; F-ratio = 3.1131; p = 0.0099). The duration of dementia and the age of the caregiver had a clear significant effect on affiliate stigma (F-ratio = 4.9104; p = 0.0083) (F-ratio = 6.5515, p = 0.0112).

Conclusion

This study revealed that caregiver related features are predicting the presence of an affiliate stigma. Interventions to prevent or reduce the impact of this stigma might focus on these groups. Education about dementia and the impact on patients, relatives and the broader social context might alter the affiliate stigma surrounding dementia.

Authors: Dupraz Ingrid , Bollinger Arthur , Deckx Julien , Schierjott Ronja Alissa , Utz Michael , Jacobs Marnic
Published: January 2022

(1) TKA implants should well fit on each patient’s anatomy. Statistical Shape Models (SSM) statistically represent the anatomy of a given population. The aims of this study were to assess how to generate a valid SSM for implant design and provide guidelines and examples on how to use the SSMs to evaluate the anatomic fit of TKA components. (2) Methods: A Caucasian SSM was built from 120 anatomies (65 female, 55 male) and an Asian SSM was based on 112 patients (75 female, 37 male). These SSMs were used to generate a database of 20 bone models. The AP/ML dimensions of the bone models were compared to those of the input population. Design input parameters, such as the tibial contour, trochlea, and femur curvature were extracted from the SSMs. Femur and patella components were virtually implanted on the bone models. (3) Results: the dimensions of the generated bone models well represented the population. The overhang of the femoral component as well as the coverage and peak restoration of the patella component were visualized. (4) Conclusions: SSMs can be used to efficiently gain input into TKA design and evaluate the implant fit on the studied population.
Photoejection from Various Systems and Radiative-Rate Coefficients
Authors: Bhatia Anand K.
Published: January 2022

Photoionization or photodetachment is an important process. It has applications in solar- and astrophysics. In addition to accurate wave function of the target, accurate continuum functions are required. There are various approaches, like exchange approximation, method of polarized orbitals, close-coupling approximation, R-matrix formulation, exterior complex scaling, the recent hybrid theory, etc., to calculate scattering functions. We describe some of them used in calculations of photodetachment or photoabsorption cross sections of ions and atoms. Comparisons of cross sections obtained using different approaches for the ejected electron are given. Furthermore, recombination rate coefficients are also important in solar- and astrophysics and they have been calculated at various electron temperatures using the Maxwell velocity distribution function. Approaches based on the method of polarized orbitals do not provide any resonance structure of photoabsorption cross sections, in spite of the fact that accurate results have been obtained away from the resonance region and in the resonance region by calculating continuum functions to calculate resonance widths using phase shifts in the Breit–Wigner formula for calculating resonance parameters. Accurate resonance parameters in the elastic cross sections have been obtained using the hybrid theory and they compare well with those obtained using the Feshbach formulation. We conclude that accurate results for photoabsorption cross sections can be obtained using the hybrid theory.

Authors: Zhang Xiaozhou , Han Changyu , Liang Tianhui , Jia Hongge , Wang Jinyan
Published: January 2022

In this study, based on the preparation of hexaazatriphenylene-ternary-anhydride (HAT-T), polyimide membranes were prepared by reaction of 4,4′-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)diphthalic anhydride (6FDA), 4,4′-diaminodiphenyl sulfide (SDA), 2,2′-bis (trifluoromethyl)diaminobiphenyl (TFDB) and 5-amino-2-(4-aminophenyl) benzimidazole (PABZ). Polyimide films with a hexazobenzo structure have good film-forming properties, high molecular weight (Mn = 0.79–11.79 × 106, Mw = 1.03–16.60 × 106) and narrow molecular weight distribution (polymer dispersity index = 1.17–1.54). With the introduction of rigid HAT-T, the tensile strength and elongation at break of polyimide films are 195.63–510.37 MPa and 4.00–9.70%, respectively, with excellent mechanical properties. The gas separation performance test shows that hexaazatriphenylene-containing polyimide films have good gas selectivity for CO2/CH4. In particular, the separation performance of PIc-t (6FDA/PABZ/HAT-T) surpasses the “2008 Robeson Upper Bound”. The selectivity of 188.43 for CO2/CH4 gas reveals its potential value in the separation and purification of methane gas.

Методичний підхід щодо ранжування альтернатив при прийнятті рішень з розвитку озброєння та військової техніки
Authors: Головін Олексій Олександрович
Published: January 2022

У статті показано, що задачу ранжування альтернатив при прийнятті рішень в системі управління розвитком озброєння та військової техніки доцільно вирішувати на основі методу аналізу ієрархій. Разом з тим, при аналізі великої кількості альтернатив виникає проблема розрахунку випадкового індексу узгодженості матриць порівнянь, оскільки апроксимація отриманої функції квадратичною та кубічними функціями не дає достовірного результату. Для оцінки думок експертів запропоновано використання функції, що побудована на основі динаміки змін максимального власного значення матриці суджень. ЇЇ апроксимація за методом найменших квадратів здійснюється з високою точністю, а коефіцієнт кореляції складає 0,99. Такий підхід досить ефективно може бути застосований для оцінки узгодженості суджень осіб, що приймають рішення при великій кількості альтернатив рішень. Введено новий критерій оцінки доцільності прийняття матриці порівнянь на основі аналізу максимального власного значення кожної досліджуваної матриці, як індексу узгодженості, який простіший за відповідний індекс Сааті.

Published: January 2022

Objectives: We described the use of brin glue in ventral onlay Buccal Mucosal Graft Urethroplasty (BMGU) in patients of bulbar urethral
stricture and compared the outcome without brin glue.
Methods: Sixty patients underwent bulbar urethroplasty with ventral onlay buccal mucosal graft and were included in this study. They were
divided into 2 groups with 30 in each with group 1 with brin glue and group 2 without brin glue. The urethra was mobilized from the corpora
cavernosa and opened along its ventral surface. The buccal mucosal graft was applied in the standard ventral onlay technique. Intraoperative
evaluation included the lengths of surgery, stricture, and admission. Patients were followed up at 3 and 6 months in the outpatient department and
primary outcome measures, that is, IPSS and Qmax were recorded at each follow-up along with complications if any.
Results: No signicant difference was observed in mean lengths of surgery, stricture and admission, and distribution of pre-op IPSS and Qmax
between the two groups. While a signicant difference was observed in distribution of IPSS and Qmax between the two groups at 3 months and 6
months follow-up. Distribution of early complications was observed at 3 weeks follow-up after surgery with a peri catheter RGU in both groups. 3
patients were presented with a leak in group 1 and 4 patients in group 2. At 3 months 2 patients were showing complications while at 6 months
follow-up only 1 patient was showing complications in each group.
Conclusions: The use of brin glue represents a slight but signicant step toward the perfection of the surgical technique of bulbar urethral

Evaluation of the breeding material of melon for resistance to powdery mildew and anthracnose
Authors: Maslennikova E. S. , Baibakova N. G. , Varivoda E. A.
Published: January 2022

Melon, as a melon crop, is cultivated in many countries of the world, and is highly valued for its dietary and nutritional qualities. Melon's susceptibility to fungal diseases drastically reduces the yield and taste of the melon. In the zone of the Volgograd Trans-Volga region, melon is mainly affected by anthracnose and powdery mildew. Obtaining samples with complex resistance to these diseases solves the problem of production and product quality. Complex resistance was determined by artificial infection of melon plants, as well as in natural conditions. 4 hybrid combinations of melons were studied against the background of the standard cultivar Osen. As a result of the research, a hybrid combination of melon Dune × Ponap (Japan) F1 was isolated, which showed complex resistance both under artificial infection and in natural conditions.

A Conceptual Framework for Mitigating Graduate Employment Problems
Authors: Al Nejam Amer , Chong Alicia Tang Yee , Ahmed Mohd Sharifuddin , Al-Masri Osama
Published: January 2022

Graduate employability has always been an issue of concern when prospective employers complain of the lack of prerequisite attributes of fresh graduates. Despite the many efforts to ease the problems, graduate employment issues continue to plague Malaysia’s labor market. We attest the veracity of this remark by the continued and prolonged social issues, as consequences of these problems, faced by many parties including government agencies, higher learning institutions, industries, parents and unemployed graduates themselves. Higher learning institutions and industries are often at odds when it comes to graduate’s quality. Parents and their unemployed children present another social problem. In our contribution to mitigate these issues, this paper proposes a conceptual framework which involves the main stakeholders related to the graduate employment issues. The cooperation between these stakeholders is key to the successful implementation of the framework that mitigates the graduate employment problems.

As a step to overcome these problems, one of the efforts that can be done is by utilizing the waste produced, for example recycling and reusing plastic bottle waste. At this time, plastic bottle waste can be used as a useful medium, one of which is by farming using hydroponic media by utilizing used plastic bottles that are around Islamic boarding schools. The objectives to be achieved in this community service research are 1) to provide skills to the students on how to make hydroponic planting media without using a large area of land; 2) utilize the plastic bottle waste produced into something useful; 3) as an alternative source of food in the form of vegetables for Islamic boarding schools. The method used is the ABCD (Asset Based Community Driven) method which focuses on hydroponic planting using used materials that are around the cottage. The ABCD method is considered appropriate to be applied because it is asset-based which is in line with the potential possessed by Islamic boarding schools. The ABCD method has six stages, namely 1) discovery, 2) dream, 3) design, 4) define, 5) destiny, and 6) reflection. The results of community service research show that with the use of used bottles as hydroponic media, the amount of used plastic bottle waste in Islamic boarding schools can be reduced and it is hoped that it can form a clean and beautiful environment, and the results of hydroponic planting media can be used as an alternative source of energy. food in Islamic boarding schools.
Penalty as a measure of procedural compulsion in civil proceedings: the practice of the Supreme Court
Authors: Volkova Inna
Published: January 2022

The article is dedicated to the analysis of the normative provisions of the Civil Procedure Code of Ukraine regarding penalties as a measure of procedural compulsion for abuse of process of the court and litigation practice of the Supreme Court on its application. The concept and legal nature of the penalty, the grounds and procedure of its recovery has been explained. The Supreme Court decisions rendered following the results of the review of the Board of Appeals decisions on the recovery of penalty, as well as the practice of penalty recovery for the abuse of process of the Supreme Court, have been studied. Based on the research findings, it was concluded that abuses of the process of the court in civil proceedings are not unusual and take diverse aspects and forms. One of the effective tools to prevent and stop abuse is to recover a penalty for violating procedural rights and obligations. It has been suggested to define the concept of «procedural irregularities» at the legislative level, to regulate an exhaustive list of such irregularities, to provide the possibility of deferral or installment plan for the payment of a penalty in case of its imposition, considering a property, marital status of the individual etc. It has been emphasized that the difficulty of exacting a penalty in practice is that the determination of the elements of a violation is left entirely at the discretion of the court, and in each individual case the court should determine the boundary between the fair use of procedural rights and their abuse, to choose at its discretion the penalty amount within the limits set by the legislator. Furtheremore, it was concluded that it is necessary to regulate the mentioned issues in terms of legislation, which will help to ensure the unity of litigation practice and enhance the liability of parties to a case for their procedural conduct in court.

Keywords: abuse of process of the court, measures of procedural compulsion, penalty, litigation practice, proceeding in civil cases, party to a trial.

Authors: Борисова Анастасия Анатольевна , Данилов Игорь Альбертович
Published: January 2022

В статье раскрывается мифологический образ Улуу Тойона в текстах ранних записей олонхо и определяется его семантика. В качестве материала исследования использованы ранние записи якутского героического эпоса олонхо, включенные в трехтомное академическое издание «Образцы народной литературы якутов», составителем и редактором которого выступал Э. К. Пекарский. Для подробного анализа образа использована схема описания мифологических персонажей, введенная в научный оборот Л. Н. Виноградовой. С целью наиболее объективной характеристики анализируемого образа вместе с фольклорным материалом в сравнительном аспекте рассмотрены сведения, хранящиеся в этнографических трудах исследователей якутской мифологии и религии, в которых образ Улуу Тойона вызывает споры, представляется двойственным, сложным, неоднозначным. В ходе анализа выявлено, что Улуу Тойон в текстах ранних записей олонхо изображен персонажем, враждебным жителям Среднего мира, они его боятся. Улуу Тойон и его племя не покровители, наоборот, они совершают только зло, пытаясь погубить все живое в Среднем мире. Сам персонаж также представлен одиноким, хотя имеет множество детей и потомков, которые бесплодны и несчастны. Защитой для людей-айыы выступает Древо Аар Луук Сибээт Мас и искры прозрачной печки. Авторы приходят к выводу, что в изученных материалах ранних олонхо Улуу Тойон выступает дьявольским божеством абаасы.

The article reveals the mythological image of Uluu Toyon in the texts of the early records of Olonkho and defines its semantics. The material for the study is the early records of the Yakut heroic Olonkho epos included in the three-volume academic publication “Samples of Yakut Folk Literature” compiled and edited by E. K. Pekarsky. For a detailed analysis of the image, the scheme of mythological character descriptions introduced by L.N. Vinogradova was used. In order to characterize the analyzed image in the most objective way along with the folklore material in a comparative aspect, the author analysedthe information preserved in the ethnographic works of the researchers of Yakut mythology and religion in which the image of Uluu Toyon is controversial, complex and ambiguous. Through the analysis it was revealed that Uluu Toyon in the texts of early records of Olonkho is depicted as a character hostile to the inhabitants of the Middle World. Uluu Toyon and his tribe do not protect, on the contrary, they perform only malignant functions, trying to destroy all living things in the Middle World. The character himself is also represented as lonely, although he has many children and descendants who are barren and unhappy. The protection for the Aar Luuk Sibaet Mas Tree and the sparks of the transparent stove are the protection for the Aayyu people. Thus, in the studied materials of the early Olonkho, Uluu Toyon appears as a devil deity of the Abaasy.

В статье проведен компаративный анализ систем профессионального развития педагогов Китая и Японии с применением технологии бенчмаркинг. Актуальность статьи обусловлена поиском путей совершенствования профессионального развития педагогов с использованием зарубежного опыта для выявления потенциала его адаптации в отечественную практику. Проиллюстрированы различия между типовым бенчмаркингом и образовательным бенчмаркингом, заключающиеся в том, что в процессе бенчмаркинга в образовании при переносе положительного опыта результат может отличаться от образовательной организации-эталона. Автором выявлены черты двух подходов в организации систем профессионального развития с учетом особенностей преподавательской деятельности в исследуемых странах. Рассмотрена типология систем профессионального развития Японии и Китая, учитывающая специфику систем высшего образования, особенности профессионального развития педагога и социального статуса профессии в указанных странах. Доказано, что системы профессионального развития педагогов стран Азии имеют общие характеристики и основаны на едином алгоритме «взращивания» педагогов. Определены рекомендации к имплементации в отечественную практику опыта преподавания в университетах Китая и Японии. Статья предназначена для ученых-исследователей в области профессионального развития и педагогов-практиков.

Before you develop your approach to university partnerships, you will already have a beginning level of confidence and competence at managing this sort of relationship. We believe it is important that you take time to ground yourself, by understanding where you currently are, before trying to articulate where you want to get to. Levels of maturity change over time, based on learning, experience of good and bad project outcomes, and changes in the strategic context in which you work. This chapter presents a simple five-level maturity model. It is framed in terms of individual behaviours, so it can be applied to an individual’s own development, but it can also be read as an organisational level of maturity.
Building a Pen Portrait

Many years of partnering experience have shown us that creating significant output from university research requires explicit attention to the creation of alignment with the people, resources, and capabilities that lie below the surface and beyond the corporate legal agreements. We have found a number of key prompts can develop a pen portrait to help with this, which is useful to take into conversations with different stakeholders, some of whom will have little interest in the technical content of your partnership.
