Authors: Morbia Mayur , Pandey Archana , Mahla Priti , Gohil Surendra
Published: July 2024

The purpose of this study is to explore the soil of the Gujarat, Kachchh region to identify amylase-producing bacteria and characterize them using molecular methods. The unique ecological characteristics of the Kachchh region may facilitate the isolation of these bacteria. Samples were collected from multiple locations within the Kachchh District, including Gandhidham, Rapar, Bhuj, Nakhatrana, Mandvi, and Mundra Talukas. These samples were then screened to isolate amylase-producing bacteria. A total of 27 different types of colonies were identified, out of which 16 exhibited amylase production (M1-M16). Out of 27 colonies identified, 16 showed amylase production. Strains M2, M7, and M13 exhibited high amylase activity, with M2 showing a consistent increase over 72 hours, making it a strong candidate for amylase production. Further identification of M2 stain identified M2 as a Gram-positive, spore-forming, capsulated, and motile bacillus, specifically Bacillus licheniformis. This was confirmed through DNA sequencing and analysis in the NCBI database, which showed a 99.15% similarity with Bacillus licheniformis. The study concludes that Soil in Kachchh is rich with microorganisms that produce amylase, an enzyme with diverse industrial applications. These organisms are valuable for sectors like food, textiles, paper, detergents, pharmaceuticals, and biofuel production.

Published: July 2024

Utilizing vegetable waste to produce bioactive compounds through microbial consortia represents a holistic solution to waste management challenges. Efficient waste collection systems in major cities ensure proper segregation of vegetable waste and lay the groundwork for resource utilization. Segregating waste at its source enhances waste stream quality and facilitates downstream processing. Research and development efforts investigating tailored microbial consortia seek to optimize waste degradation and bioactive compound yields, thereby unlocking the potential of waste. This approach significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions by diverting vegetable waste from landfills, thereby mitigating climate change effects and improving air quality. Moreover, it conserves natural resources by reducing the need for virgin materials and promoting biodiversity, conservation, and sustainable resource management. Here, the enzymatic activities and phenolic concentrations derived from the biodegradation of vegetable waste were analyzed over 14 days. Protease activity that plays a vital role in breaking down proteins reached a notable level of 300 µg/ml after 14-day incubation. Lipase activity which is essential for lipid breakdown was observed at a concentration of 6.3 µg/ml. Furthermore, phenolic concentration analysis revealed a significant range, with values ranging from 225 µg/ml to 240 µg/ml after 14 days of incubation. Phenolics are phytochemicals possessing antioxidant properties and potential health benefits. These findings provide valuable insight into the efficacy of utilizing vegetable waste as a substrate for enzymatic and phytochemical production. The observed enzymatic activities and phenolic concentrations highlight the potential of vegetable waste as a valuable resource for the sustainable production of industrially relevant compounds.
Na mostu riječi: sokratički dijalog u Ibsenovu "Rosmersholmu"
Authors: Tomljenović Ana
Published: July 2024

Počevši od glasovitog Freudova tumačenja Ibsenove drame Rosmersholm koje izlaže u tekstu “Neki karakterni tipovi iz psihoanalitičke prakse” (1916), književni se kritičari nisu prestali zabavljati pitanjem zašto je Rebekka West odlučila – nakon što je navela suprugu Johanessa Rosmera da počini samoubojstvo kako bi sama postala Johanessova supruga – najednom promijeniti mišljenje i odbiti Rosmerovu prosidbu. Nastojeći rasvijetliti zagonetku odnosa Rebekke i Rosmera, u radu se upućuje na istovjetnu enigmu koju nalazimo u Platonovu Simpoziju, u kojem Sokrat, u odnosu s Alkibijadom, odbija pristati na igru ljubavi. Slijedom Lacanova tumačenja odnosa Sokrata i Alkibijada, prema kojem Sokrat odbija Alkibijada zbog vlastite nemogućnosti da prihvati položaj ljubljenika, odnosno da ulogu ljubavnika zamijeni ulogom ljubljenika, da erastēs postane erōmenos, u nastavku se analiziraju raspodjela i smjena uloga u "Rosmersholmu", napose uloga ljubavnika i ljubljenika te učitelja i učenika.
Design of Radial Flux PM Synchronous Motor for EV Applications
Authors: Xu Zan
Published: July 2024

Abstract: In recent years, with the accelerated process of urbanization, the continuous growth of urban areas and population sizes has posed higher demands on urban earthquake safety. The theory of resilient cities offers a new approach to effectively address urban earthquake safety risks. However, there is still a lack of reasonable methods for assessing and constructing urban seismic resilience both domestically and internationally. Therefore, this paper elucidates the connotation, essential characteristics, components, and evaluation indicators of a seismic-resilient city, summarizing the components of urban seismic resilience as "one fundamental, two guarantees," which include the engineering system, institutional system, and social and economic system. This paper establishes a dual-parameter urban seismic resilience assessment method based on post-earthquake losses and recovery time, proposing a "set goals, assess, improve, reassess" approach for building resilient cities. The proposed method can provide theoretical guidance and practical basis for assessing and enhancing the seismic resilience of individual infrastructures, engineering systems, urban systems, and resilience to other disasters.

Published: July 2024

Objectives Due to the super-aging population, the number of elderly people and the number of elderly people with dementia are increasing rapidly, emerging as an important problem in our society. Therefore, there is a need to develop teaching aids necessary for preventing and delaying dementia. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to study teaching activities that can develop and utilize dementia cognitive teaching aids.
Methods To achieve this, first, we selected the type of cognitive aids. We identified the types of aids suitable for use in nursing homes or day care centers and selected the appropriate ones. Second, we determined the purpose of the aids. We analyzed the processes of dementia in the elderly and investigated the content of classes in institutions such as nursing homes or day care centers. Third, through literature review, we examined domestically produced cognitive aids, repackaged cognitive aids, and practical cognitive aids. Fourth, we designed the aids in five different areas. Fifth, we conducted a validation and modification process with an expert group, followed by testing the usability of the aids and further modifications.
Results Through preliminary research and literature review, we established the development process. As a result, we derived the domains for cognitive aids for elderly dementia patients and outlined teaching activities accordingly.
Conclusions First, teaching aids were developed in five areas: language ability, numerical and spatial ability, sensory ability, memory thinking ability, and social relations ability. Second, teaching activity plans for five teaching aids were developed. This was used as a teaching aid for cognitive education for the elderly with dementia in the field, and access to the use of occupational therapists, social workers, and nursing care workers was minimized through the activity plan.
Classical product code constructions for quantum Calderbank-Shor-Steane codes
Authors: Ostrev Dimiter , Orsucci Davide , Lázaro Francisco , Matuz Balazs
Published: July 2024

Several notions of code products are known in quantum error correction, such as hypergraph products, homological products, lifted products, balanced products, to name a few. In this paper we introduce a new product code construction which is a natural generalization of classical product codes to quantum codes: starting from a set of component Calderbank-Shor-Steane (CSS) codes, a larger CSS code is obtained where both X parity checks and Z parity checks are associated to classical product codes. We deduce several properties of product CSS codes from the properties of the component codes, including bounds to the code distance, and show that built-in redundancies in the parity checks result in so-called meta-checks which can be exploited to correct syndrome read-out errors. We then specialize to the case of single-parity-check (SPC) product codes which in the classical domain are a common choice for constructing product codes. Logical error rate simulations of a SPC 3-fold product CSS code having parameters [[512,174,8]] are shown under both a maximum likelihood decoder for the erasure channel and belief propagation decoding for depolarizing noise. We compare the results with other codes of comparable length and dimension, including a code from the family of asymptotically good Tanner codes. We observe that our reference product CSS code outperforms all the other examined codes.

Authors: Popova Tatiana G. ,   Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal Universit
Published: July 2024

The article analyzes 6 out of 22 Gospel parables of Jesus Christ, which are reflected in the text of monument of early Byzantine didactical literature — the Ladder of John Climacus. The material for the analysis was the Greek text of the Ladder, published by J.-P. Migne (Patrologia Graeca. T. 88) and unpublished Byzantine codices of the 10th–11th centuries, and text of the first Slavic translation of the Ladder according to the oldest Russian manuscript (middle of 12th century), as well as other Slavic manuscripts of the 14th century. One of the main motives of the Ladder as a literary monument is the memory of death. Gospel parables of eschatological character are the most important symbolic keys that help to understand the meaning of many fragments of the Ladder. The total number of explicit and implicit references to the Gospel parables of eschatological character is 41, including parables: of the Faithful Servant — 11, of Narrow Gate — 10, of the Great Banquet — 8, of the Ten Virgins — 5, of the Barren Fig Tree — 4, of the Workers in the Vineyard — 3. The article indicates examples of the use of these parables in the text of the Ladder, analyzes their connections with each other and with the general content of the book. Particular attention is paid to the symbolism of Narrow Path, which is genetically related to the parable of Narrow Gate.
Аrtistic Originality of the Sermon from the Apostolic Acts to Christ-loving Christians by Metropolitan Alexy
Authors: Medvedev Alexander A. ,   Moscow Pedagogical State University
Published: July 2024

The article examines the consideration of the ideological, thematic and artistic originality of the Sermon from the Apostolic Acts to Christ-loving Christians by Moscow Metropolitan Alexy. The most important and defining theme of this work is the apostolic ministry of the shepherd for the benefit of the flock entrusted to him, as well as instruction on the path of Christians and his responsibility to his flock, as Metropolitan Alexy continues the educational work of the apostles and fathers of the church. Particular motives can be identified from this topic: comprehension of the word of God, knowledge of God; relationships between Christians, relationships between flock and clergy; fear of God and keeping the commandments; fair trial in relation to subordinate people; the churching of a person, etc. In his work, Metropolitan Alexy acts as a church speaker, so the means of artistic expression should be considered from this perspective. To implement the above motives, author resorts to using a wide range of artistic and expressive means and syntactic devices (metaphors, comparisons, epithets, rhetorical questions, expressive syntax, etc.), quotations from the Holy Scriptures to confirm his thoughts, as well as the use of parables and appeals to listeners (readers).
“Deviant” Text in the Historical Narration of Old Russia: to the Problem Statement
Authors: Tufanova Olga A. ,   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: July 2024

The article examines the consideration of the concepts of “deviance,” “deviant behavior,” “norm” and the concept of “deviant” text is introduced into scientific circulation in relation to monuments of medieval Russian literature of the 11th–17th centuries. The main task of the study is to define the concept and show its essential, distinctive features. By “deviant” text in the historical narrative of Old Russia we mean fragments that represent a plot or plotless narrative, which has a stable set of compositional elements and is distinguished by a specific system of certain topic elements, the focus of which is the act or actions of a person (group of people) who is perceived and is assessed as contrary to generally accepted norms and expectations of society and/or extraordinary, exotic, outlandish. Since deviance is defined not only as a negative, but also as a positive deviation from the norm, “deviant” texts are divided into two main groups. The first group is “deviant” texts, which depict exclusively violent evil, manifested in cruel acts (negative deviation); they represent a special case of sin — “sinful works.” The second group is “deviant” texts that record positive deviation; they provide an example of an ideal picture of world, ideal or correct, proper behavior in one or another extreme, extraordinary life situation. The last paragraph is devoted to the analysis of the artistic specifics of “deviant” texts. Using the example of a fragment from the 2nd Pskov Chronicle, the general plot scheme of “deviant” texts is shown, as well as the originality of trigger motives, which are a “deviantogenic factor,” the root cause of the development of the plot itself.
To the Question of Dating the Vita of Theodosius of the Caves
Authors: Ranchin Andrey M. ,   Lomonosov Moscow State University
Published: July 2024

The article deals with hypotheses regarding the dating of Life (Vita) of Theodosius of the Caves. Two versions are in the focus of attention: the creation of the monument no later than 1088, before the death of Caves abbot Nikon (a hypothesis put forward by A.Yu. Kubaerv and accepted by A.A. Shakhmatov, new arguments in favor of which were relatively recently brought by A. Poppe), and not earlier than 1107–1108 (the hypothesis proposed by S.A. Bugoslavsky, currently defended by Yu.A. Artamonov). Evidence is given in favor of writing the Life (Vita) between March 1088 and August 1091, after the death of Nikon and before the transfer of the relics of Theodosius to a new church. A strong argument against the version that the Life (Vita) of Nikon was written during Nikon’s lifetime is calling him a “luminary” on a par with the long-dead Theodosius and Anthony and calling him “great.” No less strong argument against the version of the creation of the literary monument in 1107– 1108 is the lack of news about the transfer of the relics of the monk. The rest of the evidence substantiating both the earlier and later versions of the writing of Nestor’s work does not seem convincing. Thus, the lower (terminus post quem) and upper (terminus ante quem) chronological boundaries are established quite definitely.
Tale of the Consecration of the Great Stone Church in the Resurrection Monastery of New Jerusalem January 18, 1685
Authors: Zelenskaya Galina M. ,   The State Historical and Art Museum “New Jerusalem”
Published: July 2024

The article examines the Tale about the consecration of the “great church” of the Resurrection of Christ, erected near Moscow in the image of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. This written source has never been the subject of special study; this work represents it in a church-historical and artistic context. The monastic buildings of the 1680s are characterized, the development of their semantics and symbolism is traced, the questions of the authorship of the Tale are touched upon. It is established that the creators of the decoration of the Resurrection Cathedral were carvers, carpenters, icon painters and other masters of church art from the Armory, the Gold-Painting Workshop of the Embassy Order, the Iversky Valdai and the Resurrection monasteries. Attention is paid to the benefactors of the New Jerusalem: the ruler, Princess Sofia Alekseevna, Princess Tatiana Mikhailovna and the head of the Embassy Order, Prince V.V. Golitsyn. The list of participants in the consecration of the “great church” is given: the royal synclite and the clergy, their attitude to Patriarch Nikon and his iconic work is determined. The author analyzes the royal decree on the compilation of a detailed Inventory of the Resurrection Monastery “in memory of descendants.” As a result of the research, the Tale appears as a chronicle of the most important church-state event of the regency of Tsarevna Sofia. The document testifies to the desire to restore the symphony of the spiritual and secular authorities in Russia and preserve their historical continuity. The consecration of the “great church” preceded significant spiritual and political events: the conclusion of “Eternal Peace” with the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the subordination of the Kiev Metropolia to the Moscow Patriarch. The completion of the construction of the cathedral church of the New Jerusalem established Great, Small and White Russia as a spiritually unified center of Universal Orthodoxy.

The Effects of a Second-Chance Exam Policy in a Large-Enrollment Introductory Accounting Course
Authors: Larson Melissa P. , Stark Jared R. , Tayler William B.
Published: July 2024

Using a quasi-experimental design, we compare two semesters of an introductory accounting course to evaluate the impact of a second-chance exam policy (SCEP) on student performance and anxiety, analyzing data from 1,986 students. The SCEP, allowing two additional attempts at exams capped at 80 percent credit, significantly improved academic outcomes and decreased perceived test anxiety. Specifically, students during the SCEP semester experienced an average increase of 4.46 percent in exam scores (p < 0.01), a 3.37 percent increase in course percentage points (p < 0.01), and a GPA increase of 0.21 (p < 0.01). Notably, women experienced greater improvements than men in measured academic outcomes. Our findings suggest that SCEPs can be an effective intervention to increase academic performance and reduce anxiety. We also examine an SCEP’s effect on preparation for exam first attempts and find that students perform better on a first attempt with an SCEP.
