Objective

Few studies have compared Midregional Proatrial Natriuretic Peptide
(MR-proANP) and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP). We
compared their value as risk markers for all-cause mortality, cardiovascular
(CV) and renal complications in persons with type 1 diabetes.
Research design
and methods

MR-proANP and NT-proBNP were measured in 664 individuals.
Hazard ratios (HR) were assessed per doubling of NT-proBNP or MR-proANP for risk
of a composite of ischemic events, heart failure (HF), a combined renal
endpoint of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), decline in estimated glomerular
filtration rate (eGFR) ≥30% and all-cause mortality or individual endpoints. Adjustments included CV risk factors and addition of MR-proANP or NT-proBNP.
Results

Median follow-up was 5.1-6.2 years. MR-proANP was
associated with higher risk of all-cause mortality n=57; HR 1.7, 95%
CI 1.1-2.7, combined CV endpoint (n=94; 1.6(1.1-2.2)), HF (n=27;
2.8(1.5-5.2)), combined renal endpoint (n=123; 1.6(1.2-2.1)) and ESKD (n=21; 3.1(1.2-7.8))
independent of CV risk factors (p≤0.02). After addition of NT-proBNP
significance for all endpoints was lost. A doubling of NT-proBNP was associated
with higher risk of all-cause mortality (1.5(1.2-1.8)), the combined CV
endpoint (1.3(1.1-1.5)), HF (1.7(1.3-2.1)) and the combined renal endpoint
(1.3(1.1-1.4)) independent of CV risk factors (model 2;p<0.001) and MR-proANP
(model 3;p≤0.03). There was no association with decline in eGFR ≥30% (n=93).
Conclusions

Higher NT-proBNP was independently associated with all-cause
mortality, CV disease, HF and the combined renal endpoint. MR-proANP was associated with all endpoints
but decline in eGFR, although not independent of NT-proBNP. MR-proANP may contribute
to the predictive value of NT-proBNP for risk-stratification in type 1 diabetes.
A hillfort complex in Myślibórz in the Sudety Mountains
Authors: Lisowska Ewa Anna , Rodak Sylwia
Published: December 2020

The Myślibórz Gorge, located within the Kaczawy Foothills, is well-known to environmentalists and scholars studying the past. The investigations launched in the 1990s made it possible to determine the chronology of three of the archaeological sites in this area. In 2018, two hillforts – on the Kobylica and Golica hills – were investigated. Czech literature classifies such hillforts as the ostrožna-type. The excavations of these hillforts made it possible to establish to date them between the 9th and 10th centuries.The hillforts were located on hilltops with similar altitudes above the sea level, less than 200 m from each other. Such a spatial arrangement made it possible to control the gateway to the Myślibórz Gorge from the north-east. Reasons for developing a defensive system in the southern part of the gorge are obscure, as is the role that two other early medieval hillforts played in it. Was it simply a warning system, or rather part of a comprehensive network of defensive sites?
“Raptus Sabinae?” complemented: molecular genetic studies on a female calvarium of the Bandkeramik settlement of Rovantsi in Volhynia (UA)
Authors: Mazanec Janine , Hummel Susanne , Saile Thomas
Published: December 2020

A fragmented human cranial calotte was discovered in a Bandkeramik (LBK) settlement context at Rovantsi in Volhynia (UA). The female calvarium of a mature woman with an age of about 45-50 years was uncovered in the deepest part of a settlement pit. It can be dated to round about 5,250 BC. PCR-based molecular genetic analyses were successfully performed on these extremely rare skeletal remains from the Early Neolithic of Ukraine. The female family line can be assigned to haplogroup T2, in which it represents the lineage T2c1d+152. The woman was lactose intolerant, like most LBK individuals. Her hair colour was brown, and her eye colour was found to be hazel.

The experiment was conducted at Rice Research Station, Chinsurah, West Bengal, India during June-November 2010, 2011 and 2012 to evaluate the different doses of nitrogen and potash fertilizers on the incidence of Scirpophaga incertulas and Cnaphalocrocis medinalis in Swarna (MTU 7029) variety. Among the three straight fertilizers, N was applied at three split doses while P2O5 and K2O were applied basally. Eight treatments with different doses of N:P2O5:K2O viz. 40:40:20, 40:40:40, 80:40:20, 80:40:40, 80:40:60, 120:40:40, 120:40:60 and 0:40:0 were laid out in RCBD with three replications. The observations on dead heart (DH), white ear head (WE) and leaf folded (LF) were noted down. The pooled data of three consecutive years revealed the lowest DH% and WE% in 80:40:40 (3.96% DH and 4.70% WE) while lower LF% was recorded in 80:40:60 (1.75%) and 80:40:40 (2.02%). Percent DH, WE and LF were comparatively higher in both 120:40:60and 120:40:40. However, the treatments supported higher plant height and tillers hill-1, panicles hill-1 and 1000 grain weight which resulted in the highest grain (4926 kg ha-1) and straw (6028 kg ha-1) yield in 120:40:60 followed by the treatment 80:40:60 with 4907 kg ha-1 and 5972 kg ha-1, respectively. The results reflected that higher pest damage due to N at the dose of 120 kg ha-1 could be compensated by K2O @ 60 kg ha-1 which boosted the yield. Based on benefit-cost ratios, the treatments 80:40:40 and 80:40:60 proved cost effective.

A field experiment was conducted at Agricultural Research Station, Kota during two consecutive kharif seasons (June to January) of each 2017-18 and 2018-19) to find out suitable combination compatibility between insecticides and foliar nutrients for enhancing productivity and profitability of pigeon pea. The experiment was laid out in RBD design comprising eight treatments with three replication and the variety was ICPL 88039. The soil of experimental field was clay loam in texture, alkaline in reaction, medium in organic carbon, available nitrogen, phosphorus and high in potash. On the basis of pooled analysis, the results revealed that application of RDF+multi-micronutrient (Zn 5.0%, Mn 2.0%, Fe 2.0%, Bo 0.5%, Cu 0.5% and Mo 0.05%) spray @ 2 ml l-1 at 50% flowering+Indoxacarb 15.8 EC @ 375 ml ha-1 at flowering+Dimethoate 30 EC @ 1.0 l ha-1 at 15 days after first spray recorded maximum and significantly higher pods plant-1 (179.0), grain yield (1767 kg ha-1), net return (` 70729 ha-1), B:C ratio (2.96) and minimum pod damage by pod borer (5.25%) and pod fly (5.39%). The treatment RDF+multi-micronutrient spray @ 2 ml l-1 at 50% flowering was next in order of efficacy and other parameters being statistically at par with RDF+1% urea+0.25% ZnSO4+0.25% borax spray at 50% flowering. Whereas, the treatment RDF (20 kg N, 50 kg P2O5, 20 kg S, 25 kg Zn ha-1) was found less effective in comparison to other treatments in all the parameters.
Managing a Sustainable Work-from-Home Scheme
Authors: Yap Joseph , Manabat April
Published: December 2020

The resiliency of librarians is tested once again with the devastating occurrence of the pandemic situation worldwide. As a result of the global scare, many libraries have shut down as prescribed by the governments to minimize physical contact and stop the spread of viruses. Yet, libraries live up to their mandate of serving the information needs of their patrons. This report documents the role of libraries in Kazakhstan during the pandemic and how libraries responded quickly to avoid disruption of programs and services. This document also describes some of the “new normal” initiatives and strategies libraries have adapted to respond to the needs of their clients. On the other hand, librarians are stepping up and making enormous efforts to manage their call of duty to provide and distribute factual and reliable information to all their stakeholders. Adapting to a change of working environment also needs to be looked into. Since the start of work from home in mid-March 2020, was there a change of lifestyle? What factors affect their work productivity? An online interview of select English library staff speakers will be conducted.
The Library as a Campus Sustainability Hub
Authors: Embree Jennifer , Gilman Neyda
Published: December 2020

As the topic of sustainability becomes more relevant to all types of libraries, two academic science librarians share a case study on identifying and filling gaps in sustainability-related engagement, education, and collaboration at a mid-sized R1 research university. Seeking to transform their academic library into a Campus Sustainability Hub, the two authors began working towards this ambitious goal by establishing strong partnerships with sustainability-minded organizations and individuals both on and off campus, as well as by prioritizing the creation of community-centered programming that would engage audiences in sustainability content, research, and activism. After more than a year of building collaborations and fostering community engagement, they were successful in accomplishing their goal of establishing their academic library as a Campus Sustainability Hub. This case study provides more details on how the librarians reached this goal, including why they initially decided to undertake such a large task, how they chose to define a “Sustainability Hub,” what benchmarks they needed to meet in order to obtain this status, how they reached these benchmarks, and how they plan on continuing to grow this initiative.

Propuesta supervisada de aprendizaje de máquina para la estimación de la edad biológica humana basada en odontología forense
Authors: Becerra Alvarez Johana Gabriela , Cortés Osorio Jimy Alexander
Published: December 2020

Código de Procedimiento Penal Colombiano avala el uso apropiado de las piezas dentales para la identificación de individuos, por lo que esta técnica resulta una herramienta de gran importancia en las instituciones que apoyan la administración de justicia. Los métodos clásicos de identificación humana, en especial, los usados para la determinación de la edad biológica de muerte en adultos, han sido desarrollados usando información de poblaciones con características morfológicas, métricas y culturales diferentes a las de Colombia. En consecuencia, se han obtenido tasas de error altas en sus resultados. En esta investigación, se calculó inicialmente la edad biológica usando el método clásico de Lamendin. Posteriormente, con las medidas directas e indirectas, también usadas en el método de Lamendin, se realizó el entrenamiento de las técnicas de aprendizaje de máquina conociendo la edad cronológica de los individuos de la muestra. Se compararon los resultados de las técnicas de regresión de aprendizaje de máquina supervisado: Máquinas de Soporte Vectorial (SVM), Procesos Gaussianos por Regresión (GPR) y Conjuntos de Árboles (Ensembles of Trees), entre otras. Se estudió una muestra de 48 piezas dentales de una sola raíz pertenecientes a 45 individuos de nacionalidad colombiana, con edades cronológicas de fallecimiento conocidas dentro del rango de edades desde los 19 años hasta los 81 años. Por otro lado, se utilizaron el pie de rey digital y el macroscopio de comparación para estimar las alturas de las características morfológicas en las piezas dentales. La mejor exactitud en la estimación de la edad biológica se alcanzó con GPR que presentó una raíz del error medio cuadrático (RMSE) de 3,37 años en la identificación, la cual se contrastó con la exactitud alcanzada por el método de Lamendin con un RMSE de 15,52 años. Esta investigación evidencia que el aprendizaje de máquina con regresión GPR, en especial para el caso colombiano, resulta una herramienta válida para la estimación de la edad biológica de muerte con errores muy inferiores a los entregados por técnicas tradicionales de origen europeo.

Authors: Firsova Angelina Valer’evna , Krasilnikova Alexandra Andrianovna , Tikhomirov Andrey Mikhailovich
Published: December 2020

The article outlines studying the interaction of water with the primary membranes of fish eggs as a signal for their restructuring, which is important for developing the cryopreservation techniques. The reproductive cells of sterlet (Acipenser ruthenus Linnaeus, 1758) obtained during the spawning campaign served as the object of research. Water as a main activator of the functions of fish reproductive cells contacting with primary membranes of eggs (two yellows and one surface jelly-like) triggers a mechanism that changes the structure and functional activity of eggs, stimulates the preparation of eggs for fertilization, provoking the rearrangement of organelles and changes in the membranes. The latter are activated contacting with water and, regardless of the fact of fertilization, acquire various properties (stickiness, buoyancy, increased strength) necessary for the further development of embryos, depending on the conditions of incubation. Changes in the properties of the membranes are stipulated by the presence of certain fatty acids, further chemical transformations of which are the main factor of their changes, according to the biology of reproduction.

Published: December 2020

The article defines the concept of regional marketing and its functions. The essence of regional marketing as a tool for improving territorial management is revealed, and the features of its application in the management of the territory of the Astrakhan region are shown. It has been found that the economic indicators reflecting the level of economic development of the region are at a low level. So, there have been formulated the approaches to stimulating the development of the Astrakhan region economy by using the marketing methods. The advantages of the above tool in territory management are shown, provided that it is successfully integrated into the overall strategy of regional management and development. The general structure of the regional marketing implementation is revealed with a description of internal and external factors of the territory's marketing environment. It has been stated that regional marketing combines tools for taking micro-and macro-environment factors into account and combating negative factors, as well as represents a comprehensive system of measures to increase the innovation and investment potential of the region with a focus on target consumer groups. Attention is focused on the main task of regional marketing, which is to make sure that all management structures of the Astrakhan region understand the needs of the market segment and implement the developed strategies of territorial marketing in the work of the administration, municipality, and enterprise. All the target segments of consumers of the territorial product and the principles of servicing the selected segments of consumers have been described in details. Regional marketing is proposed to be considered in the aspect of a system of marketing tools, principles, methods, strategies and tactics focused on the specific segments of consumers, allowing to reproduce the process of creating and meeting customers’ needs in exchange for improving the quality characteristics of the territorial product and the growth of the region's economy.

Published: December 2020

The article presents a descriptive account of economic feasibility of obsolete transport vessels continuing operation by assessing the investment risks on their modernization efforts. The issues of economic assessment of the shipowner's investment risks when making a management decision on the transport fleet modernization are considered. The algorithm of management of the ship modernization risks is defined. The stages of the risk management of vessel modernization are analyzed and listed: risk identification, risk analysis, risk assessment, risk control. Formal foreign systems of risk classification, their content and differences are analyzed. A classification of transport vessel modernization risks has been developed, which allows identifying and structuring information about ship modernization risks and differentiating them by main classification criteria. The discount rate for the transport vessel modernization investment project based on risk premiums has been determined. According to this method, the discount rate is calculated as the sum of the risk-free interest rate, the rate of inflation, and the risk premium that was calculated by an expert method for the modernization project of a mixed-use dry cargo vessel. A quantitative assessment of the modernization risks of a mixed-navigation dry cargo vessel has been performed, the most significant classification features have been identified (modernization risk and industry risk). The currently topical natural risk of coronavirus infection has also been stated.

Authors: Fadeeva Irina Evgenievna
Published: December 2020

The article deals with the concept, content of professional and job development of the personnel of the enterprise, the features of labor activity in the modern economy, key elements and forms of professional and job development of personnel. Negative accents in the personnel management system are noted, e.g. hypertrophied forms of personnel management under the guise of its development and mixing of management techniques without taking into account the employees' mentality belonging to the culture and traditions of the region of residence. The goals of the system of management of professional and official development of personnel are considered as follows: the effective and optimal placement of the personnel of the enterprise and the realization of the personal and professional potential of employees through career growth. Setting and combining these goals allow a more comprehensive and effective approach to the management of professional and official development of personnel. An algorithm for personnel management is presented, which is introduced in successive steps: process organization, planning, motivation, control. In the development of a management strategy (movement) of the personnel of an enterprise, the key elements are used that form a closed cycle. The forms of development of managerial personnel were compiled and analyzed and recommendations were given for building a management system for professional and official development of enterprise personnel, taking into account the main condition for success: alignment of personal career goals with the goals of the enterprise. The actuality of the construction has been substantiated and the key elements of a holistic management system for the professional and job development of enterprise personnel have been described, planning of the individual development of the manager being in the center of the system.

Objective: Catheter ablation has been a common procedure used for the management of atrial fibrillation (AF). Atrioesophagel fistula (AEF) is one of the most feared complications of AF ablation. Although it is a rare complication, severe esophageal thermal injury must be avoided. It is important to describe a safe method of preventing esophageal injuries without increasing AF recurrence. Methods: A retrospective cohort study of consecutive patients who underwent radiofrequency AF catheter ablation during 1 year-period wa conducted. One hundred and four patients were enrolled divided in two groups: one with a maximum recorded esophageal temperature (ET) < 38 °C and other with a maximum recorded ET ≥ 38 °C. The primary endpoint was detection of endoscopic esophageal lesions after AF ablation and the secondary endpoint was AF recurrence according to the maximum ET reached during the procedure. Results: The maximum ET was on average 37.3 ± 1.0 °C. Only 4 (3.8%) patients had esophageal lesion diagnosed by upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. There were no cases of esophageal perforation. The AF recurrence rate was 9.6% during the follow-up (10 patients, 3 from the ET max < 38 °C group and 7 from the ET max ≥ 38 °C group; p = 0.181). The maximum ET was not associated with AF recurrence after catheter ablation (OR = 1.65, 95% CI = 0.84-3.24, p = 0.14). Conclusions: A low incidence of esophageal injury after AF ablation with the use of a specific esophageal protection protocol was found. There was no esophageal perforation. The AF recurrence rate was similar to that described in the literature.
Is a Mechanic Prosthetic Valve in Tricuspid Position an Absolute Impediment to Implant a Definitive Electrode in the Right Ventricle?
Authors: Arabia Luis Antonio , Luciano Juan Carlos
Published: December 2020

This is the case of a middle-aged woman with Ebstein anomaly, who had a tricuspid valve replacement with a mechanic Starr-Edwards caged-ball valve many years ago, and needed an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) and ventricular pacing due to ventricular tachycardia and atrioventricular block with syncope. Furthermore, she has a chronic respiratory disease that make open chest surgery inadvisable. Prosthetic valves are a real obstacle to cross them and place catheters in the distal chamber. This report shows a technique to get access to the right ventricle endocardium through the annulus and placing the ICD electrode with correct sensing and pacing.
A fenomenologia de Husserl segundo análise de Pierre Thévenaz e seus prolongamentos em Heidegger, Sartre e Merleau-Ponty | The Husserl phenomenology according to an analysis by Pierre Thévenaz and his extensions in Heidegger, Sartre and Merleau-Ponty
Authors: Braga José Olinda
Published: December 2020

Este artigo tem como objetivo estabelecer uma síntese relativa à Fenomenologia, seguindo a análise prospectiva que Pierre Thévenaz empreendeu sobre o tema, na segunda metade do século passado. O advento do método husserliano na França ocorrera mais sistematicamente nos anos 1950, graças à progressiva disponibilização dos textos mantidos inéditos até então nos Arquivos-Husserl. Aos poucos foram entregues às traduções para o francês, antes mesmo de se tornarem acessíveis, em grande parte, aos próprios alemães, pelas razões políticas impeditivas de seu tempo. A percepção de conjunto apresentada em quatro diferentes artigos não apenas circunscreve a obra fenomenológica em seus aspectos históricos, metodológicos e epistemológicos tal como procedido na linha do tempo por seu criador, mas estabelece relações de aproximações e distanciamentos concernentes às filosofias de seus seguidores. Essas análises derivam de uma apresentação comparativa, relativa às produções de Heidegger e sua ontologia fundamental; Sartre e Merleau-Ponty em suas incursões existencialistas, tendo todos eles encontrado no método de Husserl, racional, de rigor e eidético, o caminho para prosseguimento da investigação de suas próprias temáticas.
As Ciências da Religião na encruzilhada: combinações teórico-políticas para a decolonialidade | Religious Studies at a crossroads: theoretical-political combinations for decoloniality
Authors: Souza Daniel
Published: December 2020

Este artigo se desenvolve no campo das Ciências da Religião na busca de um alargamento teórico-metodológico para se interpretar um mundo. Para alcançá-lo, aproximo-me dos estudos culturais, caracterizados por seu nomadismo disciplinar e por ser “morada” de distintas teorias e temáticas. Nesse encontro, deseja-se que as Ciências da Religião também se assumam como um campo transdisciplinar, um espaço de encruzilhadas metodológicas e articulações teóricas entre distintos saberes já estabelecidos (filosofia, teologia, psicologia, literatura, ciências sociais, ciências da linguagem); mas assumindo, também, que o objeto de sua pesquisa acontece/mostra-se de forma híbrida e em movimento, por meio das relações estabelecidas nas margens da cultura, em seus interstícios. Como estrutura, este texto apresentará: (i) um estado da questão em torno das Ciências da Religião em relação aos seus métodos (ciências) e concepções do “objeto” (religião); (ii) uma introdução dos estudos culturais e suas propostas de inter-relação entre saberes para se estudar as culturas; (iii) as teses de Néstor Canclini, como o hibridismo cultural; (iv) as reflexões de Homi Bhabha, com os estudos sobre a importância do espaço fronteiriço, entre-lugar, para a construção da cultura; (v) as reflexões de Silvia Cusicanqui sobre a noção de ch’ixi; e (vi) como conclusão, indico as possíveis interações que imagino entre esses estudos culturais e as Ciências da Religião, apontando a importância do espaço fronteiriço, das relações de transformação por meio do hibridismo, da superação de lógicas binárias na interpretação e da interação teoria-prática para os estudos da religião no exercício da decolonialidade. Este artigo se envereda na reafirmação e suspeita de uma área acadêmica que se amplia na interação, integração e na possibilidade de múltiplos caminhos para se estudar o seu “objeto”, mas se perguntando até onde estamos dispostos a ir nas experimentações prático-conceituais.
Fullgildi í leikskóla: Sjónarmið barna og starfsfólks

Published: December 2020

Markmið rannsóknarinnar er að bæta við þekkingu á sýn leikskólabarna með fjölbreyttan bakgrunn á þátttöku sína og vellíðan í leikskólanum. Einnig voru könnuð viðbrögð starfsfólks leikskólans við sjónarmiðum barnanna. Hugtakið fullgildi (e. belonging) var notað til að varpa ljósi á félagsleg samskipti og þátttöku barnanna í samfélagi leikskólans. Rannsóknin var gerð á leikskóladeild þar sem dvöldu saman 19 börn og fjórir starfsmenn. Níu börn kusu að taka þátt eftir að hafa fengið leyfi frá foreldrum og útskýringar á því hvað þátttakan fæli í sér. Einnig voru könnuð viðbrögð starfsfólks leikskólans við sjónarmiðum barnanna. Börnin tóku myndir á spjaldtölvur og voru myndirnar notaðar sem kveikja að samræðu um fullgildi þeirra í leikskólanum. Niðurstöðurnar benda til þess að í hugum barnanna snúist fullgildi aðallega um vináttutengsl þeirra við önnur börn í leikskólanum. Börnin léku sér frekar við börn með svipaðan tungumála- og menningarbakgrunn og þau sjálf. Börn með annan bakgrunn en íslenskan voru frekar útilokuð frá leik en börn með íslenskan bakgrunn. Börnin, sem tóku þátt, voru sjálfstæð og sjálfbjarga í daglegu starfi leikskólans og leituðu ekki til starfsfólksins eftir stuðningi þegar eitthvað bjátaði á, heldur drógu sig frekar í hlé. Starfsfólkið ígrundaði starfshætti sína út frá sjónarmiðum barnanna og hafði ýmsar hugmyndir um fullgildi þeirra. Þær hugmyndir virtust þó ekki endurspeglast nema að litlu leyti í starfsháttum þess.

Markmið þessarar myndbandsrannsóknar var að meta vitsmunalega áskorun í stærðfræðikennslu á unglingastigi. Alls voru 34 kennslustundir í stærðfræði í 8. bekk í 10 skólum teknar upp og greindar ásamt 144 viðfangsefnum sem lögð voru fyrir. Greining gagna leiddi í ljós að meirihluti viðfangsefna fól í sér að beita tilteknum reikniaðferðum við úrlausn þeirra. Jafnframt virtist kennurum reynast vandasamt að viðhalda kröfum um rökhugsun í kennslustundum. Þegar nemendur unnu hver fyrir sig eftir áætlun var algengt að í aðstoð við þá drægju kennarar úr áskorun viðfangsefna með því að spyrja eingöngu lokaðra spurninga, reikna fyrir nemendur eða segja þeim svarið. Niðurstöður sýndu þó einnig dæmi þess að við lausn viðfangsefna þyrfti að beita gagnrýninni og skapandi hugsun og kennarar hvettu til samvinnu og samtals. Í þeim tilvikum, þar sem vitsmunaleg áskorun var á háu stigi, unnu nemendur í sameiningu að viðfangsefnum.
Sociocultural stereotypes in cross-cultural communication
Authors: Denissova G. V.
Published: December 2020

The relationship between language and culture has long been the subject of fierce debates among philosophers, linguists and social scientists. In spite of Chomsky’s theory about an innate biological basis for language and Steven Pinker’s concept of language instinct, language use, however, is social, so the idea of a biological language instinct seems to be controversial from the perspective of sociolinguistics. The concept of “linguistic worldview” refers to the cognitive function of language. Human beings have the ability to communicate with one another by means of a system of conventional signs, which refers to classes of phenomena in an extra-linguistic reality. Thus, a certain cognitive view of the world, its categorisation and conceptualisation of the identified phenomena are encoded in the human mind. People who identify themselves as members of a social group acquire common ways of viewing the world through their interactions with other members of that same group. Common attitudes, beliefs and values are reflected in the way all members of the group use language, i.e. what they choose to say or not to say and how they say it. The view of the world, established in a language, is not identical to any encyclopaedic knowledge of the world. The present paper is a general overview of stereotypes as part and parcel of the linguistic worldview that influence on cross-cultural communication. Most definitions characterize a stereotype as a schematic, standardized, constant, conventional, nationally dependant phenomenon and the last feature is especially important for cross-cultural communication. Some claim that stereotypes can cause problems in cross-cultural communication as they concentrate on generalized simplified perceptions about a certain nation. Others consider that stereotypes can play a positive role in cross-cultural communication since they help people to acquire basic knowledge about another nation. The ongoing cultural globalization, however, determines certain changes in the principles of interaction of different types of intertextual encyclopediae and reveals the necessity to reconsider the kind of cultural and sociological competence required nowadays. The author hypothesized that stereotypes of consciousness, being psychological phenomena, correlate with sociolinguistic phenomena — language cliches, linguistic specific words and expressions that manifest themselves in communication through different associations. The experiment conducted in Russia and in Italy among bilinguals clearly showed the dominance in the communicative behavior of native encyclopedic code that may be the main cause of misunderstanding in cross-icultural communication.
Professional sportsmen attitude towards religion (based on the materials of the sociological survey)
Authors: Gres E. E.
Published: December 2020

This article discusses the influence of religion on the personality and activities of an athlete. The first part of the article presents the author’s approaches to the study of religiosity, a questionnaire developed by the author with the participation of sports experts and coaches of national teams, adjusted in accordance with the specifics of the sociological selection — professional athletes of Russia, and the typology of religious and non-religious individuals (1 type — religious with dominant religious orientation, type 2 — hesitant-A with unstable religious orientation, tending to religiosity, type 3 — hesitant-B with unstable religion orientation, although tending to the irreligious, type 4 — undecided, 5 type — non-religious), established on the basis of fixed criteria, which are mainly signs of consciousness, behavior, involvement in religious attitudes. The second part contains the results of a series of concrete sociological studies conducted in 2015–2017, among 89 professional athletes with qualifications not lower than the candidate for master of sports of Russia, representatives of various sports clubs and teams in Moscow, to identify the relationship between the individual level of religiosity and the results of sports activities. The article confirms, based on the collected data, the hypothesis formulated by the author that religious faith contributes to the achievement of a high result in sports activities, providing a compensatory and mobilization effect on the individual. In addition, personal qualities are determined that are shaped by the practice of religious athletes in sports, as well as the statistically recorded view that bodily development contributes to spiritual growth. Demonstrating a high level of religiosity, representatives of different sports have their own specific characteristics, rituals, omens, rites of verbal and non-verbal characters. Not every athlete connects traditional religious practice with sports activities, even being deeply religious. Personal god, direct appeal to him in an improvised form in moments of special need (competition, as an example), personal signs — these are the characteristic features of this social category.
Factors of public well-being of residents of the Russian province
Authors: Smirnov V. A.
Published: December 2020

The article analyzes the features of the social well-being of the residents of the Russian province, examines the relevant factors that influence its level and direction. The author points out that the socio-cultural features of the periphery are essential for people’s subjective perception of the success of their lives. The article concludes that the social well-being of residents of the Russian province is largely determined by the age of the respondents. Middle-aged and older Russians are much less likely to perceive their social status as high, rarely have high self-esteem, and see opportunities for self-realization in the future. The social well-being of residents of the Russian province is also significantly influenced by the level of education, readiness for continuous self-development and education throughout life, subjective assessment of their own material well-being, as well as the degree of social integration of a person and support from the immediate environment and the local community. Based on the analysis, the author concludes that the social policy of the Russian state and society is not very effective, and that it is necessary to develop social institutions that focus on the formation of “self-care” competencies for Russian residents throughout their lives.

Published: December 2020

This paper deals with an analysis of the results of a sociological research aimed at studying the students’ perceptions of the nature and various forms of social inequality that occur in Russia as well as the modern world. The study was conducted in 2019 at the sociology faculty of Lomonosov Moscow State University, in the framework of regular monitoring (since 2013) of Moscow student youth’ perception of socio-political processes, institutions of socialization and subjects of youth policy. A sociological study was conducted. During the study, 811 students of 50 “humanitarian” and 50 “natural” faculties of higher educational institutions in Moscow were interviewed. 45,6% of young people interviewed were males, and 54,4% were females. 60,4% of the respondents were young people aged 18 to 22 years, 18,9% — from 23 to 26 years old, 13,3% — from 14 to 18 years old, 7,4% — from 27 to 30 years old. The article analyzes the students’ answers to the following questions: Do you think that acute social inequality occurs in the modern world? What reasons underlie social inequality? What, in your opinion, is the cause of social inequality? What types of social inequality are most common in the modern world? What forms and types of social inequality are most common in modern Russian society? How often do you encounter the following manifestations of social inequality? How do you feel about the problem of global social inequality? and a number of others. A detailed analysis of the answers to these and other questions presented in the article showed that social inequality is recognized by students as an urgent social problem, which, unfortunately, the authorities do not pay enough attention to.

Recognition of Traditional Villages as Local Government Administrators in Indonesia Based on the Principle of Autonomy
Authors: Muhtadli Muhtadli
Published: December 2020

The state recognizes and respects units of regional government that are special or special in nature. This recognition and respect is valid until the customary law community and their traditional rights are still alive and in accordance with the development of society and the principles of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia as referred to in Article 18 B paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. The state for village autonomy along with its traditional rights is an embodiment of the constitutional provisions in the form of regulating customary villages in the Indonesian government system as stipulated in Law Number 6 of 2014 concerning Villages. Efforts to strengthen the recognition of customary villages need to be realized in the legal politics of regulating customary villages that are just and constitutional so that customary villages can be realized in real terms. This study aims to analyze whether the legal politics of customary village recognition in regional governance is based on the principle of autonomy in Indonesia and its implementation. The method used is empirical normative legal research with a statutory approach and concepts and field studies. The results of the research and discussion show that the legal politics of customary village recognition in the implementation of regional government based on the principle of autonomy in Indonesia is a constitutional mandate and legislation that must be carried out by all parties consequently and fairly. Objectively, Article 18 B paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and Law Number 6 of 2014 concerning Villages have fundamental policy directions to strengthen the existence of traditional villages and their traditional rights in a consistent and fair manner in the Indonesian government system.
