On the issue of mobilizing citizens to preserve traditional values
Authors: Bagreeva Elena Gennadievna , Kutsev Vladimir Valentinovich
Published: July 2023

This article is devoted to the negative impact of illegal migration on the expansion of the consumption of narcotic and psychotropic substances. The analysis of the statistics of migrants involved in drug trafficking is given. The effectiveness of the legal measures taken to improve the drug situation in the country is investigated, their insufficiency is emphasized. For further analysis of the situation, the factors influencing the political risks of national security are proposed. The necessity of increased attention to illegal migration and illicit drug trafficking as unmanageable risks for the purpose of their manageability is substantiated. A statistical analysis was carried out on the problems considered in the article to substantiate the relevance of the results obtained. The scientific novelty of the article consists in the identification and analysis of four main groups of political threats of illegal migration (political-legal, economic-legal, criminal-legal, social-legal). The presented article makes it possible to understand in which cases illegal migration poses a threat to the population drug addiction and undermines country's security. It is concluded that the main dangers of uncontrolled risks are: the unknown conditions of their occurrence and the lack of effective measures to counteract them. The analysis of the current situation with migration flows made it possible to come to the conclusion that illegal migration, together with the accompanying drug addiction of citizens, should be classified as threats and risks to national security. This makes it necessary to expand the means and forces in the fight against this negative and dangerous phenomenon.
Literary Expression Elements in P.G. Wodehouse's Literature (based on the novel "The Code of Woosters")
Authors: Mitrovich Kristina Zoranovna
Published: July 2023

The subject of the study is the novel by P. G. Wodehouse "The Code of Woosters" ("The Woosters' Family Honor"). The object of the study is the forms and methods of manifestation of play-elements literature used to create a comic effect. The author examines the nonverbal means in detail that, alongside with the verbal ones, are able to create and increase the comic in the work. The article pays attention to such aspects of the topic as the manifestation of the game principle through the theatre features demonstrated in the behavior of the protagonist, allusions to the characters of other works as well as references to some historical figures a combination of poetological, verbal features, and other means of intertextuality and intermediality.The main conclusion of the conducted research is the use by P. G. Wodehouse in the novel “The Code of Woosters” of a combination of the English humorous tradition elements: the place of action, the main characters with a literary game to create a comic effect. Such an unusual technique distinguishes the writer in the comedy genre. A special contribution of the author to the study of the topic is studying of specific techniques and forms of literary play-elements used by the writer. The question of intertextuality and intermediality as game elements that enhance the comicality of characters and their images, situations is raised, and the game behavior of the protagonist is also considered as a form of expression of intertextuality.
Animacy and Referential Status as Factors of Asymmetric Object Marking in Modern Hebrew (based on Interrogative and Relative Pronouns)
Authors: Alexeeva Maria
Published: July 2023

The goal of this study is to confirm a correlation between the asymmetric object marking in Modern Hebrew and two factors that license the marking of the referential expression its encoding, namely “referential status” and “animation”. To achieve this goal, interrogative and relative pronouns that encode the O-participant in a transitive clause in the Hebrew language, are considered. They constitute the subject of the study and justify its scientific novelty, since this type of referential expressions encoding the patient participant of the situation in Modern Hebrew has not been the subject of research until now. To conduct a quantitative and comparative analysis, the author formed an experimental Hebrew Objects Targeted Corpus, with a volume of about 49,000 words. As a result of the study, it was concluded that there is a correlation between the asymmetric object marking, referential status and animation in Modern Hebrew. The study showed that the asymmetric object marking of referents encoded by interrogative pronouns in the vast majority of cases (98%) is regulated by the animacy of the referent, while the variability of the marking of referents encoded by relative pronouns is licensed both by the animacy and the referential status of the object. A hypothesis was also put forward about the existence of an additional factor that licenses the asymmetric object marking of interrogative and relative pronouns, which lies in the area of pragmatic characteristics of the statement, in particular, the degree of topicality of the referent encoding the patient participant in the situation.
Linguistic Analysis of the Concept of CORRUPTION in the Russian Political Discourse
Authors: Guan Qi
Published: July 2023

The subject of the study is the concept of CORRUPTION from the point of view of its implementation in the tests of political discourse. The purpose of the study is to conceptualize the concept of CORRUPTION in the semantic space of the modern Russian language (based on the material of texts containing the concept of "corruption" in the electronic version of the journal "RBC"). The article concretizes the term "corruption", postulates its legal formality. The concept of discourse is detailed and the affiliation of the concept of CORRUPTION to institutional political and economic discourses is formulated. The specific examples published in an authoritative Russian business magazine and reflecting the current attitude of society to the phenomenon under consideration are analyzed. The methodological base includes conceptual analysis, semantic analysis, content analysis, description and systematization. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that the subject of the study is the implementation of public discourse in the form of media tests published for a wide audience, in which social, and linguistic transformations become noticeable before other written sources. This makes it possible to actualize an important social phenomenon. The results obtained complement the system of scientific knowledge on the problems of conceptualization and transformation of the concept, and can also be used in teaching. The results of the study showed that each text with the help of certain expressions creates a special lexical and conceptual core, which includes, among others, the words and expressions "clean", "crime", "damage", "loss of trust" and others. This core depends on the subject of the discussion.
Structural and semantic features and national specificity of English and Russian proverbs with the meaning "foresight", "caution".
Authors: Orlova Tatiana
Published: July 2023

The subject of this study is the structural and semantic features of English and Russian proverbs with the meanings of "foresight", "caution". Proverbs with the meanings "foresight", "caution" have not been sufficiently studied in terms of revealing their meaning and describing their structural and semantic characteristics. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that for the first time the general and unique meanings of English and Russian proverbs of this thematic group were considered in a comparative aspect, as well as an analysis of syntactic structures and a semantic analysis of the lexical components of proverbs and an analysis of figurative and expressive means reflecting their national and cultural identity were made. The results of the study can be used in the process of teaching English, as well as the basis for a deeper comparative study of the proverbs of the two languages of this thematic group. The study used descriptive and comparative methods, functional-stylistic analysis, structural and syntactic analysis. In the course of the analysis, we revealed the following pattern: in most of the presented thematic groups there are proverbs close in meaning that are not equivalents. They use the same syntactic structures (imperative sentences, complex sentences with subordinate conditions, time clause, subordinate concessions and subordinate attributive clauses, syntactic compression: ellipsis, incompleteness of sentences, non-conjunction, as well as complex sentences with an adversative meaning) and similar expressive techniques (antithesis, comparison, oxymoron, tautology, allegory, metaphor, including personifying metaphor), while differing in lexical content (emotional and expressive, evaluative vocabulary, vocabulary associated with the realities of everyday life, zoonyms, somatisms, archaisms). These differences are due to the peculiarities of climate, life, traditions, as well as the environment of their occurrence, which, on the one hand, indicates the universality of human experience, and on the other hand, indicates the national specificity of the thinking of the two peoples.

Published: July 2023

From the very beginning of the pandemic period of Covid-2019 numerous sources have recorded an increase in the number of suicides among adolescents. The article presents the results of an empirical study aimed at studying social and personal identity of adolescents with a history of suicidal attempts and adolescents without suicidal attempts. At the time of the study, all adolescents who attempted suicide were undergoing treatment at the Republican Clinical Psychotherapy Center and the Republican Clinical Psychiatric Hospital of the Republic of Belarus (42 people). A group of teenagers without suicidal intentions consisted of 84 students of the MAOU "Physics and Mathematics Lyceum No. 93" of the Ufa city. The study describes the differences in social and personal identity in two selected groups of adolescents. Statistically significant differences were found between adolescents who attempted suicide and adolescents who did not have a history of attempts, according to the following indicators: socio-psychological adaptation, personal identity, top-down comparison. Adolescents without suicidal intentions have a higher level of expression of socio-psychological adaptation, they are more positive about themselves, they have a stable system of value orientations and a high level of reflexivity, unlike adolescents with a history of suicidal attempts. Adolescents with suicidal attempts to a lesser extent feel and realize the uniqueness of their personality, the uniqueness of their personal qualities, they are characterized by rejection of the norms and rules of society, the desire for detachment, indifference to their own Self, loss of interest in their inner world, low self-esteem. The samples are similar in terms of pastime, cohesion, intergroup competition and comparison, and collective self-esteem.

Authors: Kanunnikov Roman Igorevich , Ryabova Mariya Gennad'evna
Published: July 2023

The article analyzes the development of professional identity among police officers with different locus of control. The object of the study: employees of the internal affairs bodies. Subject of research: the influence of locus control on the development of professional identity of employees of internal affairs bodies. The relevance of the study is to determine the influence of locus of control on the development of professional identity in law enforcement officers. Professional development is a key problem in the psychological support of the personnel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. The authors have revealed that the locus of control is of great importance in the life of employees of internal affairs bodies, as it is associated with the development of professional identity. Using a complex of psychodiagnostic techniques: "Personal and social identity" (A.A. Urbanovich), personal questionnaire "Who am I" (M. Kuhn, K. McPartland), personal questionnaire "Formal and meaningful identity" (E.V. Raspopin, E.A. Rybyakova), test "The level of subjective control" (J. Rotter, modification by E.F. Bazhin, E.A. Golynkina, L.M. Etkind) substantiates the existence of a relationship between the locus of control and professional identity in law enforcement officers. It is proved that the most effective is the average level of internality of the locus of control, which contributes to the professional identity of a law enforcement officer. The necessity of forming a professional identity taking into account the locus of control among employees of internal affairs bodies is discussed.

Published: July 2023

In this article, the author attempts to analyze the interdependence of myth and ideology in the context of globalization and the emergence of new cultural trends that form the main ideological representations of the people as a means of public administration. The main problem of the conjugation of myth with ideology is due to the insignificant depth of research on this issue in the context of historical phenomena. In the course of his work, the author came to the conclusion that ideology forms a mythological prototype of the universe, and historical figures and events are endowed with a mythological meaning, the indisputability and naturalness of their perception develops. Consequently, mythology acts as a mechanism of ideology, which is a tool for building culture and influencing society. Therefore, a certain category of people constructs an ideal society for the implementation of specific tasks, guidelines are created for building an ideal culture, educating an ideal personality, real historical events are filled with fantasy meaning.

With cloud computing, information and code are kept online rather than on a local device so that anybody may access them. The main component of the cloud, service brokers, are in charge of controlling the traffic flow between users and data centres. Service brokers operate according to different sets of policies. The routing policies based on service proximity send the user's request to the closest data centre. The reaction rate is improved when the request is routed to the datacenter utilising enhanced. We looked at performance-optimal routing in this study. Proximity-Based Routing Improvements.

Published: July 2023

The terms "overweight" and "obesity" refer to weight increase that is unnatural or excessive and creates a health concern. Overweight is defined as a BMI of 25 or higher, and obesity as a BMI of 30 or higher. It is termed as a medical condition which increases the risk of medical conditions like heart diseases, hypertension, Type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, coronary heart disease, etc. Dietary intake, inactivity, specific environmental variables, heredity, and medical conditions are the main causes of obesity. Adults in the current generation are more likely to be obese due to their unhealthy lifestyles and stress. In this paper we applied classification machine learning algorithms KNN and DT and compared those algorithms in obesity from the Data collected from UCI Machine Learning Repository, resulting in the nearest accurate outcomes. we try to implement a model which will help us get an accurate measure to predict the obesity level from the data.
MALWARE DETECTION USING MACHINE LEARNING ALGORITHMS
Authors: Arun V, Dr Hemalatha N
Published: July 2023

Malware is a serious threat that weakens computer security. Malware detection is a branch of computer security concerned with the investigation and prevention of malicious software. It is not the only way to protect a company from a cyber-attack. Companies must analyse their risks and vulnerabilities in order to be effective. With this increase in cyber fraud and other malicious activities, traditional methods are not enough to block computers from it as this method has many drawbacks. In order to tackle these issues, researchers have been developing new techniques such as heuristic analysis, and static & dynamic analysis which can detect more than 90% of malware samples. In this paper, we will look at various techniques for detecting computer malware and malicious websites, as well as a versatile framework in which different machine-learning algorithms can be used to successfully distinguish between malware and clean files while attempting to reduce the number of false positives. In this paper, we have reviewed the rise of computer malware and how traditional methods of detection are being replaced by innovative techniques such as the behavioural-based model and the signature-based model.

According to estimates, 17.9 million people succumb to cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) annually, which accounts for 31% of all fatalities globally. The term "cardiovascular diseases" (CVDs) refers to a variety of heart and blood vessel conditions. They mainly constitute heart diseases, coronary artery diseases etc. The terminology "cardiovascular diseases" (CVDs) also refers to a variety of heart and blood vessel conditions. They consist of deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, rheumatic heart disease, congenital heart disease, peripheral arterial disease, cerebral vascular disease, and coronary heart disease. Cardiovascular disease claims one life in the United States every 34 seconds. Heart disease is the primary cause of mortality in the US for both males and females. Heart disease claimed the lives of almost 697,000 people in 2020, accounting for 1 in 5 fatalities. For the early diagnosis and treatment of those with cardiovascular illness or who are at high cardiovascular risk, a machine learning model can be highly beneficial. (This is primarily caused by the existence of one or more risk factors, such as diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, or an existing illness). In this work, six classifiers were tried for the dataset and it was concluded that the best models that suited our dataset while modeling was the Naive Bayes Classifier and the Random Forest Classifier with 93.33% Accuracy each.
Multidisciplinary approach to anaplastic and metastatic meningioma: A case report and review of the literature
Authors: Ajler Pablo , Davila Emily Zoraida Guerra , Plou Pedro , Casto Florencia , Christiansen Silvia , Boccalatte Luis Alejandro , Larrañaga Juan
Published: July 2023

Background:

Meningiomas are slow-growing neoplasms, accounting for 20% of all primary intracranial neoplasms and 25% of all intraspinal tumors. Atypical and anaplastic meningiomas are infrequent, representing fewer than 5% of all meningiomas. Unusually, they can show aggressive behavior, and extracranial metastases are extremely rare, representing approximately 0.1% of all reported cases.

Case Description:

Fifty-six-year-old male patient diagnosed with atypical basal frontal meningioma with multiple resections, both endoscopic endonasal and transcranial. After hypofractionated radiosurgery, the patient showed new tumor recurrence associated to right cervical level II ganglionic metastasis. We opted for complete resection of the meningioma and reconstruction with anterior rectus abdominis muscle flap, as well as selective cervical ganglionectomy. Anatomical pathology showed neoplastic proliferation of meningothelial cells in syncytial cytoplasm, oval or spherical nuclei with slight anisocariosis and hyperchromasia, and intranuclear vacuoles, all compatible with anaplastic meningioma.

Conclusion:

Due to a lack of consensus on how to treat a metastatic malignant meningioma, this pathology requires a multidisciplinary approach, and treatment needs to be adapted to each particular case. Complete resection of the lesion is the primary goal, and this requires complex procedures involving endocranial as well as extracranial surgeries, which result in composite defects difficult to resolve. Microvascular free flaps are considered the gold standard in reconstructions of large skull base defects, with high success rates and few complications.
Cavernous sinus dural arteriovenous fistula treated with transvenous embolization through facial vein: A case report
Authors: Kuwajima Takuto , Beppu Mikiya , Maeda Kazuhiko , Okada Yoichiro , Kohno Ryuichi , Yoshimura Shinichi
Published: July 2023

Background:

Although the inferior petrosal sinus (IPS) is the most common approach route for transvenous embolization (TVE) of cavernous sinus dural arteriovenous fistulas (CSDAVFs), other routes should be chosen in cases which the IPS is occluded. We report a case in which the superior ophthalmic vein (SOV) approach through the facial vein (FV) was the first choice to achieve radical cure of a hemorrhage-onset CSDAVF.

Case Description:

An 81-year-old female presented with a history of transarterial embolization (TAE) and TVE for the left CSDAVF 27 years ago. She was transported to us with a chief complaint of consciousness disturbance, and head computed tomography (CT) showed subcortical hemorrhage in the right frontal lobe. Cerebral angiography revealed CSDAVF with draining into the right SOV and right superficial middle cerebral vein (SMCV). Angiography, computed tomography venography, and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging did not show IPS, but the outflow pathways to the SOV, FV, and internal jugular vein were confirmed, so an approach through the FV was selected.

Conclusion:

The FV was selected through the right femoral vein and thanks to the distal access catheter (DAC) being guided to the SOV, the microcatheter could be easily guided to the SMCV through the cavernous sinus (CS). TVE was performed, complete occlusion was confirmed. When preoperative occlusion of the IPS was confirmed, the FV was useful for the first choice of route, and the use of DAC allowed us to complete the treatment accurately and quickly.
THE MAYKOP-NOVOSVOBODNAYA ARCHAEOLOGICAL CULTURE AND LATE TRIPOLYE: CONTACTS, MILITARY AND PRODUCTION ASPECTS
Authors: Кореневский С.Н.
Published: July 2023

В статье рассматриваются вопросы взаимосвязи между майкопско-новосвободненской общностью и племенами юга Восточной Европы, а также позднетрипольской культурой. В центре внимания находится новая монография В. А. Дергачева о культуре позднего Триполья и племенах эпохи ранней бронзы Предкавказья. Обсуждается концепция В. А. Дергачева, согласно которой проникновение майкопцев в позднетрипольский регион носило характер военного вторжения и имело целью подчинение местного населения. В предлагаемой статье рассматривается аргументация В. А. Дергачева и делается вывод, что предложенная им трактовка связей позднемайкопских племен на основании имеющихся материалов не оправданна. Используемое В. А. Дергачевым понятие «администрация» майкопской культуры, которая подчинила трипольские племена, неправомерна – как методически неправомерно и суждение о догосударственном первобытном обществе. Связи племен майкопско-новосвободненской общности с племенами юга Восточной Европы носили обоюдный характер как с точки зрения влияний, так и заимствований.

The paper reviews interrelations among the Maykop-Novosvobodnaya population, the tribes living in the South of Eastern Europe and the Late Tripolye population. Particular interest is payed to a new monograph by V. A. Dergachev on Late Tripolye culture and the Early Bronze Age population groups in the Fore-Caucasus. It discusses the concept advanced by V. A. Dergachev according to which penetration of the Maykop population to the Late Tripoloye domain was a military invasion aimed at subjugating the local people. This paper examines V. A. Dergachev’s arguments in support of this idea. The author of the present paper comes to the conclusion that this interpretation of the connections between the Late Maykop populations based on available materials is not justified. The concept of the Maykop ‘administration’ that brought the Tripolye tribes under control used by V. A. Dergachev cannot be considered grounded enough since, from the methodological point of view, this judgment on pre-state prehistoric society is erroneous. The relations between the Maykop-Novosvobodnaya community and the tribes inhabiting the South of Eastern Europe were reciprocal both in terms of their impact and exchange.
CHILDREN’S BURIALS OF THE MIDDLE BRONZE AGE WITH CRADLE MODELS: IDENTIFICATION OF THE INDIVIDUAL SEX USING THE PROTEOME ANALYSIS OF TEETH ENAMEL

Published: July 2023

В статье освещаются результаты идентификации пола четырех индивидов детского возраста эпохи средней бронзы, погребенных в трех курганных могильниках Центрального Предкавказья с керамическими моделями колыбелей в качестве заупокойных даров (рис. 1–4). С целью проверки предположения о принадлежности индивидов женскому полу был использован протеомный анализ эмали зубов, зарекомендовавший себя как надежный, но при этом более простой и доступный по сравнению с генетическим метод установления половой принадлежности индивидов. Пол трех индивидов был однозначно установлен как женский. Пол четвертого индивида был определен как мужской, однако некоторые полученные показатели оставляют поле для дискуссии относительно строгости этого заключения и в совокупности с имеющимися отклонениями в погребальном обряде склоняют к мнению, что данное погребение пока не может считаться свидетельством обнаружения модели колыбели в захоронении ребенка мужского пола. Данные масс-спектрометрического анализа доступны в базе ProteomeXchange по идентификатору PXD031737.

The paper reports on the sex identification results for four individuals from the children’s group dating to the Middle Bronze Age buried in three kurgan burial grounds in the central Fore-Caucasus that contained ceramic models of cradles as funerary offerings (Fig. 1–4). In order to check the assumption that these individuals were females, we applied proteome analysis of teeth enamel that proved to be a reliable method which is simpler and more affordable than the genetic method of identifying sex of individuals. The sex of three individuals was explicitly identified as female. The sex of the fourth individual was identified as male, though some characteristics leave space for discussion regarding the rigor of this finding. Because of this fact and some identified deviations from the funerary rite, the authors think that this burial cannot yet provide evidence that a cradle model was found in a male child burial. The mass spectrometry data are available in the Proteome-Xchange dataset using the PXD031737 identifier.
BRONZE STRAINERS OF EGGERS 160 TYPE FROM THE BURIALS OF THE NOMADS OF ASIAN SARMATIA

Published: July 2023

Рассматриваются римские бронзовые цедилки типа Eggers 160 из погребений кочевников Азиатской Сарматии первых веков н. э., особенности их распространения в Римской империи, европейском Барбарикуме и Сарматии, где такие цедилки в отличие от основных регионов их распространения не образовывали гарнитуры с аналогичными по форме черпаками. В Сарматии зафиксировано 12 или 13 цедилок, большая часть которых – с территории Азиатской Сарматии. За исключением находки из Танаиса, цедилки рассматриваемого типа не известны ни на Боспоре, ни в Ольвии и Херсонесе, ни в могильниках Юго-Западного Крыма. Находки цедилок типа Eggers 160 происходят как из женских, так и из мужских погребений, особенно часто их обнаруживают вместе с бронзовыми кувшинами, преимущественно Blechkanne, тазами типов Eggers 99–106, а также ковшами типов Eggers 140, 144 и подражаний типу Eggers 140.

The paper discusses Roman bronze strainers of the Eggers 160 type from the burials of the nomads of Asian Sarmatia of the first centuries AD, the peculiarities of their distribution in the Roman Empire, European Barbaricum and Sarmatia, where such strainers, unlike the main regions of their distribution, did not form sets with dippers of similar shape. 12 or 13 strainers have been recorded in Sarmatia, most of which originating from the territory of Asian Sarmatia. With the exception of a find in Tanais, strainers of the type discussed were not found either in the Bosporus, or in Olbia and Chersonesos, or in the burial-grounds of the South-Western Crimea. The finds of the Eggers 160 type strainers originate from both female and male burials, especially often they were found together with bronze jugs, mainly Blechkanne, Eggers 99–106 basins, as well as casseroles of Eggers 140, 144 and imitations of the Eggers 140 types.
ON THE ISSUE OF STUDYING POTTERY TECHNOLOGY OF THE KALCHAKI CULTURE (SALTA PROVINCE, NORTHWESTERN ARGENTINA)
Authors: Дмитренко Л.М.
Published: July 2023

Данная статья посвящена изучению некоторых вопросов технологии изготовления керамических сосудов культуры кальчаки из раскопок поселения Ла-Пайя (провинция Сальта, Аргентина), коллекция которых хранится в МАЭ РАН. Изучение технологии велось с позиций историко-культурного подхода к  изучению керамики, разработанного А.А. Бобринским. В  результате сравнительного изучения керамических сосудов и этнографических образцов корзин, которые широко использовались племенами Южной Америки, было установлено, что по крайней мере часть изученных мисок изготавливались в  формахемкостях, которыми служили корзины, выполненные в  определенной технике плетения. В ряде случаев в формах-емкостях изготавливались только отдельные части сосудов, которые потом соединялись вместе. К таким сосудам можно отнести асимметричные сосуды, сосуды с широким горлом, сосуды с носиком для слива, а также погребальные урны с  тремя сужениями. Данная гипотеза получила подтверждение в  ходе работы автора Самарской экспедиции по экспериментальному изучению древнего гончарства в августе 2021 г. Полученные результаты технологического анализа существенно дополнили изучение гончарного производства культуры кальчаки.

The article is devoted to the study of some issues of the pottery technology of the Kalchaki culture from the excavations of the settlement of La Paya (Salta province, Argentina), the collection of which is kept in the Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography of the Russian Academy of Sciences. e technology was studied from the standpoint of the historical and cultural approach to the study of ceramics, developed by A. A. Bobrinsky. The comparative study of ceramic vessels and ethnographic samples of baskets that were widely used by the tribes of South America has revealed that at least part of the studied bowl-shaped vessels were formed in baskets made in a certain weaving technique, which served as molds. In some cases, only parts of vessels were formed in molds and then joined together. Such vessels include asymmetric vessels, vessels with a wide neck, vessels with a beak for decanting, as well as funeral urns with three taperings. This hypothesis was experimentally conrmed during the work of the author in the Samara expedition for the experimental study of ancient pottery in August of 2021. The obtained results of technological analysis supplemented signicantly the study of the pottery production of the Kalchaki culture.
An Automated and Lightweight Framework for Electrolyte Diagnostics using Quantitative Microelectrode Voltammetry

Voltammetry is a ubiquitous electroanalytical method that can be used to help probe sustainable electrochemical technologies. When conducted with a microelectrode (radius ca. μm), voltammetry enables special interrogation of electrolyte solutions by minimizing distortions and facilitating near-steady-state measurements. Methodologies aimed to evaluate the behavior of redox-active species often leverage well-established, physically-grounded expressions that can be extended to examine electrolyte solutions under non-ideal conditions (e.g., signal convolution from multiple redox events) by simulating the entire voltammogram. To characterize these analyte systems, we first develop closed-form expressions—building on previous work that utilizes oblate spheroidal coordinates—and establish a framework for rapidly evaluating electrolyte composition. We subsequently apply finite difference transient voltammogram models to assess the performance of this workflow. We then validate our findings using model, deterministically-prepared nonaqueous electrolyte solutions containing N-[2-(methoxyethoxy)ethyl]phenothiazine, finding the toolkit is particularly adept at rapidly (< 1 min) estimating the degree to which an electrolyte solution is charged (its “state-of-charge”) and remains intact (its “state-of-health”). Finally, we highlight potential extensions of this method towards advancing in situ or operando diagnostic methods within operating electrochemical devices.
Assessment of essential information in the Fourier domain to accelerate Raman hyperspectral microimaging

Published: July 2023

In the context of multivariate curve resolution (MCR) and spectral unmixing, essential information (EI) corresponds to the most linearly dissimilar rows or/and columns of a two-way data matrix. In recent works, the assessment of EI has been revealed to be a very useful practical tool to select the most relevant spectral information before MCR analysis, key features being speed and compression ability. However, the canonical approach relies on principal component analysis (PCA) to evaluate the convex hull that encapsulates the data structure in the normalized scores space. This implies that the evaluation of the essentiality of each spectrum can only be achieved after all the spectra have been acquired by the instrument. This paper proposes a new approach to extract EI in the Fourier domain (EIFD). Spectral information is transformed into Fourier coefficients and EI is assessed from a convex hull analysis of the data point cloud in the 2D phasor plots of a few selected harmonics. Because the coordinate system of a phasor plot does not depend on the data themselves, the evaluation of the essentiality of the information carried by each spectrum can be achieved individually and independently from the others. As a result, time-consuming operations like Raman spectral imaging can be significantly accelerated exploiting a chemometric-driven (i.e., based on the EI content of a spectral pixel) procedure for data acquisition and targeted sampling. The usefulness of EIFD is shown by analyzing Raman hyperspectral microimaging data, demonstrating a potential 50-fold acceleration of Raman acquisition.
Systems chemistry of aminoacyl phosphates: Spontaneous and selective peptide oligomerisation in water driven by phase changes

The pathways and mechanisms that allow spontaneous and selective peptide elongation in aqueous abiotic systems remain unclear. Herein we work to uncover those pathways by following the systems chemistry of aminoacyl phosphates, the synthetic counterpart of aminoacyl adenylates. Thus, oligomers up to dodecamers were synthesized in one flask and on the minute time scale, where consecutive additions activated autonomous phase changes. The resulting phases arose from the high polar and reactive nature of the aminoacyl phosphates, which can be dissolved in water in concentrations of up to 300 mM. Upon elongation, short oligomers are prevalent in solution, while in the aggregated phase, longer oligomers are selected based on their aggregation propensity. We furthermore demonstrated that the solution phases can be isolated and act as a new environment for continuous elongation, by adding various phosphates. These findings suggest that the systems chemistry of aminoacyl phosphates can activate a selection mechanism for peptide formation, by merging aqueous synthesis and self-assembly.

Published: July 2023

The optical spectra of neutral oxygen vacancies ($F^0$ centers) in the bulk MgO lattice was investigated using density matrix embedding theory. The impurity Hamiltonian was solved with the complete active space self-consistent field (CAS-DMET) and second-order n-electron valence state perturbation theory (NEVPT2-DMET) multireference methods. To estimate defect-localized vertical excitation energies at the non-embedding and thermodynamic limits, a double extrapolation scheme was employed. The extrapolated NEVPT2-DMET vertical excitation energy value of 5.24 eV agrees well with the experimental absorption maxima at 5.03 eV, whereas the excitation energy value of 2.89 eV at the relaxed triplet defect localized state geometry overestimates the experimental emission at 2.4 eV by only nearly 0.5 eV, indicating the involvement of triplet-singlet decay pathway.
Perú: de un constitucionalismo excluyente a uno transformador, avances y retos pendientes
Authors: Huaita Alegre Marcela , Choccechanca Gamboa Andrea
Published: July 2023

El artículo recorre la evolución de temas centrales en las relaciones de género en las constituciones peruanas durante casi un siglo, de 1931 al 2021. Analiza el camino recorrido desde la exclusión de las mujeres como ciudadanas hasta la conquista de la paridad en la participación política; la transformación de la cláusula de igualdad hasta convertirse en una con la potencialidad de incorporar la discriminación por orientación sexual como categoría prohibida; así como los cambios en la concepción de la protección a la maternidad por parte del Estado, hasta llegar a una formulación que reconoce el derecho de las personas de forma individual a decidir sobre su capacidad reproductiva. El artículo da cuenta también de la participación de las mujeres en la lucha por estas conquistas, de sus iniciativas tanto en espacios formales como informales, así como de los postulados de los movimientos feministas de primera y segunda ola. Todo ello organizado a partir de las categorías acuñadas por Ruth Rubio Marín para entender el constitucionalismo en clave de género: constitucionalismo excluyente, inclusivo, participativo y transformador.
La protección del consumidor a través de la Constitución Política del Perú y la jurisprudencia del tribunal Constitucional
Authors: Quinteros Cortez Alejandro
Published: July 2023

La vida en sociedad y las relaciones sociales que dan pie al intercambio económico hacen de vital necesidad garantizar la defensa y protección de los derechos de los consumidores. Los consumidores juegan un papel tan determinante en nuestra economía al punto que el mismísimo Tribunal Constitucional ha optado por definirlos como “el fin de toda actividad económica” (EXP N° 07339-2006-PA/TC F.J. 20). No obstante, pese a que el artículo 65 de la Constitución Política del Perú regula de forma clara y precisa la Protección al Consumidor, en nuestro país la mayoría de los estudios sobre este tema han sido principalmente analizados desde el derecho administrativo. Por ello, el presente artículo tiene por finalidad sumarse al esfuerzo por innovar en la investigación constitucional del Derecho de Protección del Consumidor.
