Published: August 2023

Models are direct replicas, images, or copies of real objects or figures. They are made in place of the original object and therefore used as such in place of the original. Inability to have access to mammalian internal organs is one of the challenges in teaching some concepts in Biology. Hence, the need to develop a 3-dimensional automated model of the human heart (3-DAMHH) to teach Biology concepts in Ilorin, Nigeria. The study was a developmental research design model. ADDIE model was adopted. The findings of this study revealed that a 3-dimensional (3D) automated model of the human heart was successfully developed with silicon gum, pop, oil paint, hosepipe, pumping devices, transformer, and diode. Findings also revealed that a 3-dimensional automated model of the human heart was cost-effective. This study recommends biology teachers use 3-DAMHH for teaching abstract concepts in biology.

Abstrak

Model adalah replika langsung, gambar atau salinan dari benda atau angka nyata yang dibuat sesuai dengan objek aslinya dan karenanya digunakan seperti objek aslinya. Ketidakmampuan untuk mengakses organ dalam mamalia merupakan salah satu tantangan dalam mengajarkan beberapa konsep dalam mata pelajaran Biologi. Oleh karena itu, perlu dikembangkan model jantung manusia otomatis 3 dimensi (3-DAMHH) untuk mengajarkan konsep Biologi. Dalam hal ini ini peneliti mengambil konteks di Ilorin, Nigeria. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian pengembangan menggunakan model ADDIE. Temuan penelitian ini mengungkapkan bahwa: model jantung manusia otomasi 3 dimensi berhasil dikembangkan dengan permen karet silikon, pop, cat minyak, selang, perangkat pompa, transformator, dan dioda. Temuan lain juga mengungkapkan bahwa model otomatis 3 dimensi jantung manusia hemat biaya. Studi ini merekomendasikan agar para guru Biologi menggunakan 3-DAMHH untuk mengajar konsep abstrak dalam biologi dalam pembelajaran mereka.

Prior research demonstrated that glucagon has protective roles against inflammation, but its effect on the resolution of inflammation remains elusive. Using in vitro and in vivo approaches, this study aimed to investigate the pro-resolving potential of glucagon on pulmonary neutrophilic inflammation caused by lipopolysaccharide. Lipopolysaccharide induced an increase in the proportions of neutrophils positives to glucagon receptor (GcgR) in vitro. In addition, lipopolysaccharide induced an increase in the neutrophil accumulation and expression of GcgR by the inflammatory cells in the lungs, however, without altering glucagon levels. Intranasal treatment with glucagon, at the peak of neutrophilic inflammation, reduced the neutrophil number in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), and lung tissue within 24 h. The reduction of neutrophilic inflammation provoked by glucagon was accompanied by neutrophilia in the blood, an increase in the apoptosis rate of neutrophils in the BAL, enhance in the pro-apoptotic Bax protein expression, and decrease in the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 protein levels in the lung. Glucagon also induced a rise in the cleavage of caspase-3 in the lungs; however, it was not significant. Glucagon inhibited the levels of IL-1β and TNF-α while increasing the content of pro-resolving mediators transforming growth factor (TGF-β1) and PGE2 in the BAL and lung. Finally, glucagon inhibited lipopolysaccharide-induced airway hyper-reactivity, as evidenced by the reduction in lung elastance values in response to methacholine. In conclusion, glucagon-induced resolution of neutrophilic inflammation by promoting cessation of neutrophil migration and a rise of neutrophil apoptosis and the levels of pro-resolving mediators TGF-β1 and PGE2.

Published: August 2023

The capacity as a biological control agent is due to multiple mechanisms, such as competition for nutrients, for space and myco-parasitism. While the fungus of the Trichoderma genus has several advantages as a Biological Control Agent; it takes nutrients from the fungi that it degrades and from the organic matter helping its decomposition. Therefore, the objective of this work was to determine through microcultures the mycoparasitic capacity of native strains of Trichoderma spp. against Verticillum dahliae, etiological agent of olive verticillium wilt. The action and type of parasitism of three native strains of Trichoderma against the phytopathogen V. dahliae was determined using the microculture technique. A trial with a completely randomized design with a 3x2x2 factorial arrangement (3 antagonists x 2 pH levels x 2 lighting levels) was performed. The capacity of each native strain of Trichoderma to exert different types of parasitism under the established conditions was determined. This being considered of great interest since the biocontrol of the phytopathogen is evidenced through physical contact with the native strain of Trichoderma. Therefore, it is of great importance to continue the antagonism studies of different strains of Trichoderma to determine the efficiency of the control of V. dahliae.
A prospective randomised double blinded study-to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of transmuscular quadratus lumborum block in percutaneous Nephrolithotomy via VAS score
Authors: PA Baraniya
Published: August 2023

Introduction: Before the advent of ultrasound guided regional anaesthesia, post-operative pain in percutaneous nephrolithotomy was mainly confined to opioid consumption and other analgesics. The use of Ultrasound in regional anaesthesia has facilitated the visualization of anatomical structures, needle advancement and the spread of local anaesthetic. This has led to the development and refinement of fascial plane blocks. Quadratus Lumborum block (QLB) facilitates early postoperative ambulation and reduction in length of hospital stay by effective postoperative analgesia. Methods: In this prospective, randomised, double blinded study, 66 patients scheduled for elective percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) between 2021 and 2022 were randomised, 33 patients to receive ultrasound guided QLB with 20 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine and 33 patients receive 20 ml of normal saline post intubation. During the postoperative period, each patient’s pain level was assessed by the Visual analog scale(VAS) score for pain: range 0-10 (0=no pain,10=worst pain ever).The VAS score at 15 mins,1hr, 2hr, 6hr,12hr, 24hr intervals, should be monitored. Results: VAS Score in Group A was less as compared to Group B. The difference was statistically significant at 15 min, 1h, 2h, 4h, 6h, 8h, 14h. Conclusion: Hence, ultrasound guided Transmuscular QLB had better analgesic efficacy in post PCNL surgery.

A 54-year-old female presented with complaints of progressive visual loss and severe headaches for the past two months. The patient had a history of high blood pressure and was on medication for the same. On physical examination, she had a loss of peripheral vision and a visual acuity of 20/200 in her left eye. An urgent MRI scan was performed which revealed a 2 cm x 1.5 cm sellar mass with suprasellar extension and a concomitant incidental aneurysm in the left internal carotid artery ophthalmic segment. Further evaluation with hormonal profile revealed elevated levels of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), which was suggestive of growth hormone-producing pituitary adenoma. A cerebral angiogram confirmed the presence of the incidental aneurysm in the left internal carotid artery ophthalmic segment.

Purpose: To evaluate the impact of three different effect-site concentrations of remifentanil [1.0, 2.0 and 2.5 ng.ml-1] on cough, heart rate and systolic blood pressure during extubation after balanced anesthesia with desflurane or sevoflurane. Design: Double-blinded controlled trial. Setting: Operating room. Patients: ASA I-II adults (n=451) who underwent elective procedures. Interventions: Subjects were randomly assigned to maintain remifentanil effect-site concentrations at 1.0, 2.0 and 2.5 ng.ml-1 by a target control infusion system after receiving balanced general anesthesia with remifentanil and sevoflurane vs. desflurane. Measurements: Cough severity (using a four-point intensity scale), heart rate and systolic blood pressure were registered during eye opening, tracheal extubation and 2.5 minutes after. Main Results: Cough was significantly reduced in all groups of remifentanil at 2.0 and 2.5 ng.ml-1 during eye opening, tracheal extubation and 2.5 minutes after, when compared with 1.0 ng.ml-1 [Risk ratio (95% CI) at tracheal extubation 0.35 (0.23-0.53) and 0.33 (0.21-0.52) for desflurane; 0.50 (0.35-0.73) and 0.45 (0.30-0.73) for sevoflurane, respectively. P < 0.001]. There were no significant differences on heart rate or systolic blood pressure values at these time points for any of the studied groups. Conclusion: In adult patients of elective procedures under balanced general anesthesia with sevoflurane or desflurane, maintaining a remifentanil effect-site concentration at 2.0-2.5ng.ml-1 significantly reduce the risk of cough but not hemodynamic responses during tracheal extubation.

Complexes of polyphosphate esters with antibiotics were developed in Lviv Polytechnic National University together with scientists of Institute of Animal Biology NAAS to reduce the negative impact of antibiotics on the animal body. The conducted experiments allow assessing the effect of antibiotics, polyphosphate esters and complexes of polyphosphate esters with antibiotics on the body of laboratory animals based on biochemical markers of hepato- and nephrotoxicity. The antibiotics were administered in average daily therapeutic doses. It was found that the physiological state of mice and their blood biochemical indicators were within physiological normal values after the administration of polyphosphate ester P4 and complexes of polyphosphate ester P4+antibiotics (amoxicillin, oxytetracycline, and doxycycline). At the same time, intramuscular administration of polyphosphate ester P6 and complexes of P6+antibiotics have a certain negative effect on mice, which is manifested by changes in the activity of marker enzymes: aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP). We found an increase in AST and ALT activities. P6+amoxicillin and P6+oxytetracycline complexes increased ALP activity. Complexes P4+antibiotics decreased ALP. Blood urea content decreased after the administration of polyphosphate ester P6 by 38.5%, P6+oxytetracycline by 26.9%, P6+doxycillin by 21.8%. P6+amoxicillin complex caused a significant increase by 237% in the concentration of creatinine in the blood of mice. The changes of blood creatinine concentration of other experimental groups fell within normal physiological range. Conducted studies of blood biochemical characteristics of mice under the action of new complexes of nanobiopolymer transporters with antibiotics ensured the selection of antibacterial drugs with low toxicity.
Costos del cultivo de árboles maderables en sistemas agroforestales de café en Costa Rica
Authors: Murillo-Gamboa Olman , Badilla-Valverde Yorleny
Published: August 2023

Introducción. La ausencia de información económica constituye una barrera para el fomento de sistemas agroforestales (SAF). El componente forestal podría representar una contribución importante en la economía y aumento de biodiversidad de los SAF con café, que mantiene una huella de carbono alta y se desarrolla en más de 93 600 ha en 8 regiones de Costa Rica. Se requiere un nuevo modelo de asociación café con árboles maderables, que aporte valor económico, adicional a los servicios ambientales tradicionales. Objetivo. Determinar los costos del cultivo de árboles maderables de sombra en SAF de café. Materiales y métodos. Se reporta la estructura de costos de cultivo de maderables en cafetales, basada en árboles individuales por su aplicabilidad. La base de datos se construyó a partir de experiencias en SAF establecidas en cooperativas de café. El modelo se basa en el cultivo máximo de 275 árboles.ha-1 (6 x 6 m en tresbolillo), que permite efectuar un raleo (50%) al año 7, con especies como laurel (Cordia alliodora) y cedro (Cedrela odorata) principalmente, en altitudes entre 700 a 1450 msnm. Resultados. El costo del cultivo de un árbol hasta el año 15 es de ¢2386.árbol-1 (US$4 con tasa de cambio de ¢600), 50% corresponde a mano de obra, 24% a regencia y asistencia técnica, 15% insumos y 11% al costo del árbol. El laurel interceptó un 60% de radiación sin afectación de la producción de 36,5 fanegas por ha de café ovatá a 1200 msnm. Conclusiones. El costo total para cultivar 275 árboles maderables.ha-1 en un SAF café es de ¢2386.árbol-1 (US$3,98). Un escenario de financiamiento podría realizar un aporte de capital de ¢950 por árbol en el año 0, otro aporte en el año 5 de ¢850, para un total de ¢1750.árbol-1 ($2,9). Sin embargo, el modelo de financiamiento actual del FONAFIFO para SAF café, podría mantener su esquema actual de aportes de capital en 5 años y mismo monto de ¢2000 por árbol, con el fin de evitar el efecto de la volatilidad en los precios de los insumos. El costo del cultivo de árboles maderables como sombra en café es bajo y tendría un alto impacto económico, social y ambiental en la caficultura.

Authors:   Ural Federal University, Yekaterinburg, Russia, Grinberg V. I. , Krut’ko I. S. ,   Ural Federal University, Yekaterinburg, Russia
Published: August 2023

The article presents the results of a study of the representation of a difficult life situation in the perception of young people at the Institute of Physical Culture, Sports and Youth Policy of UrFU, conducted using the author's survey. In the new world, the "new youth" concept of a difficult life situation changes - from a situation that objectively impedes a person's life, to a situation that subjectively presents difficulties for self-realization, most often not directly related to a person at the moment, rather disturbing hypothetically. In general, most of the youth revealed a sense of security in the world, the majority associate difficulties with uncertainty and unpredictability, the rest of the categories are more associated with typical age-related fears. As a result of the article, the educational quest "Digital smart girl" is proposed, which will allow you to work out the skills of tracking insecurity signals in the digital environment, as well as to form competencies in managing uncertainty. The necessity of creating preventive conditions for youth in the educational process is shown.

Cheer sport is rapidly gaining popularity including in student sports which determines the relevance of research on the problems of its development in student sports. The article is devoted to the study of the readiness of student-athletes engaged in various difficult-coordination sports to continue a sports career in cheer sports. The purpose of the study was to identify the initial level of development of leading physical qualities and special technical skills for cheerleaders in athletes of different specializations to determine readiness for sports improvement in the university student cheer sports team. The study was conducted using the method of control tests using tests to assess the leading physical qualities and special technical skills of cheerleaders. The results of the study showed that the level of readiness for sports improvement in student cheerleading teams of athletes who had sports experience in various sports is due to the specifics of their previous sports activities. At the same time, athletes who have previously engaged in sports with an acrobatic orientation have the skills to perform acrobatic tracks required in competitive activities in cheerleading. A good level of flexibility development in girls contributes to the implementation of complex static elements of competitive activity in cheerleading. A good level of development of strength abilities possessed by young men who have previously engaged in strength sports can serve as the basis for their successful performance of such elements of cheerleading as support and emissions. The significance of the conducted research lies in the establishment of the need to assess the initial level of readiness for sports improvement in the cheer sport of athletes who previously engaged in various sports. The information obtained will allow the coach to individualize the training process, focusing on the development of missing or underdeveloped qualities and skills of each athlete, which will allow him to determine the optimal competitive program of the team for the successful preparation of the team for the competition.
The work of a psychologist as part of request for psychological assistance in sport
Authors:   Public organization ", Sokhlikova V. A. ,   All-Russian Swimming Federation",   , Moscow, Russia
Published: August 2023

The article is about "Psychological assistance in sport". For decades, psychologists have been advising athletes and coaches, helping them at training camps, during competitions and even in the recovery period. The qualification of specialists grows from year to year, new directions, methods and ways of help appear; the work is carried out in multifaceted directions. The first thing a sports psychologist starts his work with is to find out the reasons and reasons for seeking psychological help from an athlete or a coach. The author takes the view that the important aspects of the process of contacting a psychologist are not only taking into account the athlete's complaints voiced, but also identifying the hidden content of his expectations and perceptions, as well as discovering the meaningful subtext of the treatment. Whereas in the traditional approach, these aspects are often not taken into account by the psychologist and the opportunity to specify, i.e. identify the expected help from the sports psychologist and apply it productively in counselling is not always fully realized. The author relies on the concept of a request for psychological help, developed by Stolin V.V., Loseva V. K., Lunkov A. I. and substantiates the types of requests for psychological help in sports, formulated as a model. The paper presents the results of the experimental work, which prove the existence of typological groups of requests for psychological help of athletes and coaches. The study has shown the necessity of developing this issue and extending the process of further conceptualization, as well as facilitating empirical research in this field and its practical application in sports psychology.
New Look on the Toponyms Valdai and Gora-Valdai
Authors:   Yaroslav-the-Wise Novgorod State University, Vasilyev Valery L.
Published: August 2023

The article criticizes the traditional and widespread view on the etymology of the toponyms Valdai in the Novgorod region and Mount Valdai (Finnish Harjavalta) on the coast of the Gulf of Finland, west of St. Petersburg. A number of arguments are given that refute the opinion about a single Balto-Fennic proto-form (*Vaara-valda ‘Mountainous region’) for these toponyms. Instead, the author substantiates that Gora-Valdai goes back to a two-basic personal name borrowed by the Baltic Finns from the ancient Germans; this ancient Germanic anthroponym was previously reconstructed as *Harja-waldaz and continues in English Harold and other similar names. The name Valdai of Novgorod, which is proved to be the original lake name that later transferred to the adjacent villages and the surrounding area, has a completely different origin. The author offers two etymological solutions: from Baltic *Vald-oj- (Balto-Slavic vald- ‘to manage’) or from Balto-Fennic *Valda-järvi meaning ‘Full-flowing, large lake’ or ‘Main lake’. Relying on some common features (meaning of the base, features of the Slavic adaptation of the toponym), the author is inclined to the Balto-Fennic version, which fully corresponds to the natural geographical characteristics of Lake Valdai. From the first half of the 18th c., the Novgorod toponym Valdai impacted on the formation of the name Gora-Valdai of the village to the west of St. Petersburg. Besides, thanks to Patriarch Nikon’s activity in the foundation of the Iversky Bogoroditsky Monastery from the middle of the 17th c., the names of the Valdai Lake and the adjacent village (now the city of Valday) acquired all-Russian recognition, which led to their spread to territories remote from the Novgorod province. Thanks to transfers, secondary toponyms of Valdai appeared in Karelia, Murmansk, Arkhangelsk, and Ivanovo regions.
Reflection of Territorial Identity in the Toponymic Landscape of Small Ural Towns
Authors:   Ural Federal University, Golomidova Marina V. , Dmitrieva Anastasia V. ,   Ural Federal University
Published: August 2023

The paper discusses speciﬁc manifestations of territorial identity in urban toponymy. The authors consider the role of the cultural landscape in the formation, maintenance and transformation of territorial identity and the importance of the toponymic landscape in these processes. The novel approach of the research consists in broadening the explanatory framework and combining proper linguistic research methods with semiotic and culturological interpretation of urban toponymy. An original version of a complex multi-vector structure of the toponymic landscape is proposed, including spatial-topographic, semantic, linguo-cultural, sociolinguistic, and memorative aspects. Applying a modeling method to the structure of the toponymic landscape, the authors identify the main components of the semantic ﬁeld of territorial identity verbalized in urban toponymy. The ﬁrst (linguistic) level of components suggests the types of motivational semantics that are relevant to render the social and cultural experience of a place. The second level, semiotics of space, explicates the semantic effects of urban objects’ location, their juxtaposition and co-location. The model is validated using the language material of Nevyansk and Kyshtym, two small towns whose history relates to the development of the Ural mining industry. Hence, the research highlights both common and speciﬁc local features in the toponymic reﬂection of the Ural identity. The Nevyansk toponymic landscape maintains the unity of the semantic ﬁeld of local identity; its core is the remote history of the city. Contrastingly, the toponymic landscape of Kyshtym attests to the polycentricity of regional identity and multiple differential characteristics that form it. The results obtained allow improving the municipal toponymic policy of small towns towards a deeper and more consistent exhibition of their identity.
New Testament Names in the Text of the Ladder of John Climacus
Authors:   Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University, Popova Tatiana G.
Published: August 2023

The paper explores eleven New Testament names featured in the text of the Ladder by John Climacus, a translated monument of early Slavic writing. These personal names are a special kind of biblical quotations referring to the events of the holy history. The research is based on comparative analysis of the Greek texts of the Ladder published by Jacques Paul Migne (Patrologia Graeca, Vol. 88), four ancient Byzantine codes and ﬁve Slavic manuscripts which contain the ﬁrst Slavic translation of the book made by Preslav scribes in the ﬁrst half of the 10th century. The article follows research on the collective church memory of medieval scribes which manifests itself in the commonality of topics, images, plots, ideas, and expressions that go back to the text of the Bible. The New Testament characters that are featured in the Greek text of the Ladder and its Slavic traslations are: Jesus Christ, Mary, John the Baptist, John the Apostle, Lazarus, Peter, Paul, Timothy, Herod, Pontius Pilate, Judas. The author identiﬁes the key biblical images in the Greek text of the Ladder (Jesus Christ and the supreme apostles Peter and Paul) and speciﬁes the functions of New Testament names in the text: referential, symbolic, emphatic and indexical. The oldest Russian manuscript showcases spelling inconsistencies in relation to New Testament names as well as multiple errors indicating both the inexperience of the scribe and his poor knowledge of gospel stories. These errors were eliminated from the text of later manuscripts. The analysis identiﬁed four words that are absent in the historical dictionaries of the Russian and Old Slavonic languages (bezvrednitsa ‘dispassion’, besslovesne ‘wordlessly’, zluderzhanie ‘rancor’, suprotivpremeneniе ‘transformation’).
Variation of Proper Names in Nikola Znamensky by Fyodor Reshetnikov
Authors:   Ulyanovsk State University of Education, Lipatova Antonina P.
Published: August 2023

The paper explores the variety of onomastic strategies in the short story Nikola Znamensky by Fyodor Reshetnikov, a follower of the ethnographic movement in the Russian literature of 1860s. It is typical for his works to omit the use of ﬁrst names in the titles (Glumovs, Aunt Oparikh, Gossip Mironikh, Ilyich, Maxya, Yashka) whilst they play an important role in the stories. For example, the Doctor’s story begins with the ﬁrst name and so it ends. The name suggests that the protagonist (albeit not openly) opposes himself to the official church position. Apart from that, the character himself claims that the name predicts his fate. Having lost the spiritual title, he also refuses the name. Within the text, only ten characters are named, and the naming strategies used in each case are different. The distinguishing factor is the variability of the name forms. This article aims to understand whether this variation affects the way the nature of the character is represented in the story. The analysis shows that the story features six context-driven forms of the name of the story’s main character, Nikola Znamensky. Religious teachers address Nikola by using the full form of the name. The narrator also refers to him as Nikolai. The character himself (and his fellows) tend to use both the full and the “folk” forms of the name (Nikola, Mikola, Mikula). The members of the family use the hypocoristic forms. The names of other characters (from the family circle: brother, sons) are also subject to change: the full form is typical for the speech of the narrator, the derivative diminutive -ka appears in the speech of the priest. The protagonist’s namesake son also has a separate derivative name reference (Nikolai — Kolka) which emphasizes the special role of the title character. The name’s variability thus reﬂects the main character’s embedding into various social networks and, more importantly, into the “folk” paradigm linking it to the ﬁgure of Saint Nicholas. The author concludes that Reshetnikov uses name variability as a characteristic means that adds to the types portrayed in the story.
On the Origin of the Russian Surnames Bagryzlov, Badryzlov
Authors:   Ural Federal University, Kabinina Nadezhda V.
Published: August 2023

The study explores the origin of the surnames Bagryzlov, Badryzlov currently owned by several hundred Russians. At present, these are mostly spread in the south of the Tyumen region and in adjacent territories which is where the surname Badryzlov ﬁrst appears in historical documents in the ﬁrst half of the 18th century. According to these sources, the surname indicates a relation to Cossacks. The geographical and linguistic analysis of the variants of the surname undertaken by the author with consideration of close evidence from Russian dialectal appellative vocabulary and onomastics (including those territories that were historically associated with the Cossacks) conﬁrmed the “Cossack” origin of these surnames. According to the author’s hypothesis, they go back to the South Russian Cossack nickname from the appellative *badryzglo which meant either a reveler who likes to drink heavily or, conversely, a weak, sick, old person. In the ﬁrst case, the surnames can be traced back immediately to the verb dryzgat’ ‘to drink alcoholic beverages immoderately,’ whilst in the second case, the surnames must be considered in relation to the verb’s derivatives meaning ‘something broken, crumbling, worthless.’ The research is at the junction of onomastics and dialect lexicology: apart from the surnames Bagryzlov, Badryzlov, it covers the etymology of a number of close common dialectal words (bagryza, bagryzlo, bagryzya) and reconstructed forms (*badryzlo, *badryzya). Looking into the etymology of the Ural and Siberian surnames, the author speciﬁes two main ways of how South Russian Cossack vocabulary could penetrate the dialects of the Urals and Trans-Urals. Firstly, there is documentary evidence that Cossack daughters were often married to local peasants and citizens, secondly, the decossackizations periodically carried out in the Russian Empire led to the fact that many Cossacks ﬁnally stopped participating in military activities and became peasants or citizens.

The review of the book Toponyms and Patronyms of Tsaribrod Municipality presents the work of Prof. Anna Choleva-Dimitrova in the context of her research activity and against the background of modern toponymic research in Bulgaria and abroad. The monograph consists of 314 pages, includes an introduction, ﬁve chapters, and appendices: a map of the investigated settlements of the former Tsaribrod district and an etymological reference for the settlement names. The study aims to explore the toponymic and anthroponymic system of the settlements that remained outside of the Bulgarian state border after 1919 and that presently belong to the Republic of Serbia. The research covers over 3,000 microtoponyms and 545 patronyms preserving common features and many ancient elements of the Bulgarian onymic system. The review explores the methodology of linguistic analysis applied to the onymic material from the Tsaribrod region and points out its contribution to Slavic onomastics study. This includes: 1) anthroponymic reconstruction of names which allows the author to discover a part of the Slavic anthroponymic system, 2) the method of applying multiple comparative data on onyms (toponymic parallels) from the neighboring regions.

The review examines the PhD thesis Toponymy of the Syamozerye in the area of the Karelian dialect borderland by A. Afanasyeva, based on rich factual material collected by the author during ﬁeld research. The studied area of Syamozerye is a unique point of contact of three dialects of the Karelian language: Livvik, Ludic, and Karelian. This borderline character and location at the intersection of migration routes have left their mark on the Syamozerye subdialect of the Livvik dialect of the Karelian language, which is also reﬂected in the toponymy of the studied territory. Apart from that, there are also Sami, Veps, and Russian elements. The reviewed thesis of ﬁve chapters is a comprehensive study of structural and semantic patterns of the toponymy of the Syamozerye region and their areal distribution. A detailed analysis of about 3,000 toponyms allowed the author to identify the principles and naming patterns common to Karelian toponymy, as well as Syamozerye innovations. About a dozen Livvik dialecticisms, calendar and non-calendar personal names preserved as structural elements in local toponyms have been reconstructed by etymological analysis of the toponymic data. These results are valuable for Karelian lexicography. The analysis of dialectal features in toponymy helped clarify the boundaries of the Livvik dialect area and the history of its formation and, thereby, specify the role of Syamozerye in the formation of the Karelian dialect map. The identiﬁcation of oikonymic patterns based on chronological distribution provided an insight on the evolution of the Syamozerye oikonymic system.

Partimos das premissas epistemológicas do ecofeminismo, que pensa o corpo feminino como índice de uma associação mais ampla entre o feminino e a natureza e entre a Mãe Terra e a Mata Virgem. Essa prática investigativa opõe-se à noção masculina e patriarcal de cultura que, ao se propor hegemônica e universal, milenarmente posiciona a Mulher e a Natureza como matéria de exploração. Fazemos um breve panorama da emergência da história da arte feminista, campo no qual se inserem artista e obra e que denuncia a narrativa tradicional da história, especialmente a história da arte, que exclui os oprimidos pelo capitalismo. Em seguida, analisamos a obra num esforço de reflexão que a coloca como uma denúncia das relações de opressão baseadas na colonialidade heterossexual do poder e na ocultação de histórias de violência contra os Outros, neste caso, contra o Outro feminino e o Outro natureza. Rematamos, reiterando que as Amuamas representam o encontro da artista com a floresta, mas não só, já que a floresta representa todas as mulheres e todos os Outros, mortos ou oprimidos pela colonialidade/modernidade, pelo homem, branco, europeu, cristão.
Early metakaolin reactions in pozzolanic R3-test: calorimetry baseline correction of initial temperature jump due to ex-situ mixing
Authors: Weise Kira , Ukrainczyk Neven , Koenders Eduardus
Published: August 2023

The increasing concerns regarding global warming and the scarcity of raw materials in the construction industry have led to a growing need for alternative low-carbon binders to partially replace ordinary Portland cement. To assess the suitability of pozzolans as supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), the R3-test has been introduced and successfully validated for a wide range of materials. This test provides an opportunity to analyze the reactivity classification and study the reaction mechanisms and kinetics of novel SCMs in a well-controlled environment. In this study, the focus lies on evaluating the early reactions of lime paste samples through isothermal calorimetry tests conducted at 40 °C. However, conventional mixing methods present experimental challenges. In-situ mixing fails to achieve proper paste homogenization, while ex-situ mixing results in a temperature difference at the start of testing due to the elevated testing condition of 40 °C. To address these concerns, a novel calorimetric methodology is proposed for early detection of reactivity responses. The main concept involves establishing a baseline correction for the temperature difference caused by ex-situ mixing, which is calibrated using an inert sample. This correction allows for the extraction of the heat generated by the early reactions. Combined with the Tian time correction, this methodology enables the evaluation of early reactions in lime paste samples measured with isothermal calorimetry at 40 °C within the first 100 min after mixing. The effectiveness of this methodology was demonstrated by evaluating the early reactions and the impact of potassium sulfate on three different types of metakaolin.
The Dutch Hermitage Folly (1760-1850) in a European context: Origins, Architecture, and Meaning of the Hermit’s Hut in the Landscape Garden
Authors: Ronnes Hanneke , van Elburg Wouter , Haverman Merel
Published: August 2023

The phenomenon of a hermitage in a landscape garden has not yet been studied from a transnational historical perspective. In this article we present a European architectural history of the hermitage, paying special attention to Dutch hermitages mentioned in digitised newspapers and other historical sources. The long European history of the hermitage shows that this 18th-century landscape garden folly does not, as is often believed, have an exclusively English origin. The Dutch examples affirm this, although they depart from the standard hermitage narrative in generally being neither royal nor noble. Indeed, they were primarily an urban phenomenon, built predominantly by burghers near cities. As a result, the architecture of the hermit’s hut and its meaning in the landscape garden are different from those in other countries.
The paradox of Portuguese /Vr/-rhymes: Disentangling weight from length via structure-based sonority
Authors: Brandão de Carvalho Joaquim
Published: August 2023

The assumption that Portuguese stress is weight-sensitive is supported by strong arguments. However, oxytones ending with open syllables remain a major problem for this claim, unless vowels can be independently proved to be heavy without being long. It will be seen how the behaviour of /Vr/-rhymes in European Portuguese, which is not satisfactorily accounted for by standard models, shows that weight and length are distinct aspects, and solves the problem of oxytones. The price to be paid is a theory of phonological representations in which sonority is based on structure, not on features.

LIbrary preparation for population-scale Oxford Nanopore long-read DNA sequencing SOPAt the NIH's Center for Alzheimer's and Related Dementias (CARD) https://card.nih.gov/research-programs/long-read-sequencing we will generate long-read sequencing data from thousands of patients with Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia, Lewy body dementia, and healthy subjects. With this research, we will build a public resource consisting of long-read genome sequencing data from a large number of confirmed people with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias and healthy individuals. To generate this large-scale nanopore sequencing data we have developed a protocol for processing and long-read sequencing human frontal cortex brain tissue, targeting an N50 of ~30kb and ~30X coverage. †Correspondence to: Kimberley Billingsley billingsleykj@nih.govAcknowledgements:We would like to thank the Nanopore team (Jade Bartolo, Olivor Holman, Androo Markham & Jessica Anderson) and Hamilton team (Kristen Hise) and the whole CARD long-read team listed below => UCSC: Benedict Paten, Trevor Pesout, Paolo Carnevali, Mira Mastoras, Melissa Meredith, Jean Monlong, Ryan Lorig-Roach, Mobin Asri; NE: Miten Jain; NCI: Mikhail Kolmogorov; NHGRI: Adam Phillippy, Arang Rhie; Baylor: Fritz Sedlazeck, Farhang Jaryani; JHU: Winston Timp; NIA: Cornelis Blauwendraat, Kimberley Billingsley, Pilar Alvarez Jerez, Laksh Malik, Breeana Baker, Maysa Abdelhalim, Kensuke Daida, Rylee Genner, Abigail Miano-Burkhardt, Caroline Pantazis;
V.S. Solovyov's articles in A.F. Brockhaus and I.A. Efron's encyclopaedic dictionary: history of publication, authentication, subject matter
Authors:   Tyumen State University, Cherkasova E.A.
Published: August 2023

For the first time Solovyov's lexicographical heritage, as represented in A.F. Brockhaus and I.A. Efron's Encyclopaedic Dictionary (1890–1907), is comprehensively examined. The authentication of the materials from the dictionary itself, epistolary sources and a separate edition of Solovyov's dictionary works (1997) have yielded a list of 183 articles written by the philosopher for the dictionary. The reader is welcomed for the regularity of the ideological component of the articles. Nine thematic groups are distinguished, in particular: “Terms, concepts”, “Personalities (philosophy, religion)”, “Philosophical, social and religious schools/studies”, “Personalities (others)”, “Mythology”. The articles that stand out in particular in Solovyov's system of encyclopedic heritage are identified. These are “Freedom of Will”, “Hegel”, “Plato”, “Comte”, and “Kant”. It is demonstrated that at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. V.S. Solovyov created his own history of philosophy, thus realizing the original strategy of studying the world philosophy by the Russian-speaking readers of the present section of the Dictionary (from VI–V BC up to XIX c.). The author underlines that the choice of names of philosophers, which Solovyov wrote about, illustrates the author's all-embracing and large-scale thinking. The author emphasizes the role of bibliographical sources, which were developed and verified by Solovyov and which help present not only the most important works, in the author's opinion, but the cultural context of the epoch as a whole. The thematic references in the articles are found to reflect the specific organization of the whole corpus of Solovyov's lexicographical works.
“Philosophical steamer”: on the Paradigm of S.S. Khoruzhy
Authors:   Russian Christian Humanitarian Academy named after F.M. Dostoevsky, Ermichev A.A.
Published: August 2023

The article analyzes the speech of S.S. Khoruzhy, published in 1990 in the “Literaturnaya Gazeta” under the title “Philosophical Steamer. How it was”. The metaphor he found has become popular and is actively used by modern critics of Soviet history. in 1922, S.S. Khoruzhy presented the expulsion of a group of Moscow and St. Petersburg intellectuals, among whom there were 13 philosophers, sociologists and jurists, as a spiritual catastrophe of Russia and even as the “end of Russian philosophy”. On the contrary, in the proposed article, this event is assessed as only a political action aimed at excluding from the public life of Soviet Russia all those who remained in the same unscientific ideological positions, defended the bourgeois values of university autonomy and freedom of speech, stating this in public speeches not understanding the new socio-political reality. The article emphasizes that the value confrontation in the public consciousness of Soviet Russia could turn into a political confrontation, which could threaten the country and the authorities with a new round of civil war. A parallel is drawn between the state of public consciousness of Soviet Russia in the 20s and the USSR in the 80s – early 90s of the twentieth century, when “glasnost” and “perestroika” became the beginning of the death of the USSR. The article challenges the thesis of S.S. Khoruzhy about the “end of philosophy” in Russia. It is argued that the establishment of the monopoly position of Marxist materialism and the exclusion of any non-Marxist philosophy from cultural life was simply the beginning of a new stage of Russian philosophy, forced to develop in its prescribed theoretical form. Meanwhile, thinkers of the Russian diaspora noted the presence of positive heuristic possibilities in Soviet philosophy, but in the absence of a philosophical dialogue they could not fully develop. The transformation of philosophy in Soviet history reminds the author of the time of Peter the Great, when one of the directions of European philosophy was given state patronage and Russian philosophical thinking left behind “love of wisdom” as a passed stage.
“Hoffman complex” in the stories of Ap. Grigoriev “One of many” and “The other of many”
Authors:   Vladimir State University named after Alexander and Nikolay Stoletovs, Koroleva V.V.
Published: August 2023

The problem of the formation of the “Hoffman text of Russian literature” is considered on the material of the prose heritage of Ap. Grigoriev. In the novels “One of Many” (1846) and “The Other of Many” (1847) by Ap. Grigoriev the main features of Hoffmann poetics are highlighted, which manifest themselves in its entirety and are characterized by the common stylistics of these two authors (“destructive irony”), Grigoriev's appeal to Hoffmann's type of demonic hero (Imeretinov, Zvanintsev), dating back to Hoffmann's novel “Elixirs of the Devil”, as well as similar problems. It is noted that Ap. Grigoriev, following Hoffman, conceptualizes the problem of forcible influence on the personality of another as based on the idea of magnetism. similarities in the authors' treatment of the problem of the necrosis of human life (in Ap. Grigoriev) and the mechanization of life and man (by E.T.A. Hoffman) are noted by means of the example of the images in the stories of Ap. Grigoriev (Zvanintsev, Imeretinov) and the images-symbols of masks, dolls, automatons, puppets of E.T.A. Hoffman’s stories (“The Sandman”, “Automatons”, etc.). And, finally, attention is drawn to the fact that duality as one of the key problems of Hoffman's work is being developed in Grigoriev's novels (the “mirroring” of the twin heroes Zvanintsev – Vertebrae, Sevsky; Imeretinov – Chabrin). The results of the conducted research show a bright layer of Hoffmann intertext in the stories “One of Many” and “The Other of Many” by A. Grigoriev, which allows us to talk about the work of the Russian writer as a significant stage in the formation of the Hoffmann text (“supertext”) of Russian literature.
