Authors: Lyubin Dmitry Vladimirovich
Published: March 2021

The study aims to identify structural and thematic features of military-historical exhibitions in the European monarchs’ residences in the XIX century. Scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that the author has studied history of creating the most significant military-historical exhibitions in Russia and Europe, identified their specific features and determined mutual influence of their concepts. As a result, it is proved that military-historical exhibitions in monarchical residences were the most remarkable phenomenon of the European culture in the XIX century. The most representative of them emerged shortly after the Napoleonic Wars. Specifics of their concepts were dictated by the monarchs’ individual preferences. The most significant Russian exhibition was the Military Gallery in the Winter Palace. Its creator, Nicholas I, was particularly influenced by the Battle Hall in the King of Bavaria’s residence.

The paper analyses symbolic functions of the Karachay-Balkar ritual food associated with autumn holidays at the end of the agricultural year. The study covers the period from the XIX till the beginning of the XX century. Scientific originality of the research lies in the fact that the traditional Karachay-Balkar food is considered as a special kind of sacred food. The conducted analysis allows concluding that seasonal food rituals have an economic basis, clearly reveal human dependence on seasons and climate, represent specificity of ethnic worldview. Ritual food is not just food, but an offering to the God, lords of the elements and ancestors. This ritual serves to ensure fertility, happiness and welfare.

Authors: Vanchugov Anton Vladimirovich
Published: March 2021

The study aims to present the metaphor of the Dead City in musical art, which realises one of the variants of urban themes in mythology, literature, music and allows the researcher to comprehend relevant issues of our time. Scientific novelty of the research lies in developing a metaphorical approach to studying musical works and for the first time applying it to Iraida Yusupova’s composition “Kitezh-19” (2004). As a result, the researcher has determined nature of interaction between expressive means of two opposite language systems (neoclassical means and electronic ambient), which made it possible to render in an allegorical form the tragic end of the post-technogenic mirage city and collapse of the modern civilisation.

Published: March 2021

The paper aims to reveal essence of communication as a social phenomenon which presents information exchange between individuals as social subjects. The research objective includes analysing such notions as “communication”, “dialogue”, “signal means of communication”, “technical means of communication”. The authors try to reveal correlation of these notions. Scientific originality of the study lies in the fact that the problem of communication is considered through the lens of social interaction. The paper argues that communication is a process of information transfer realized through socially acceptable forms of social interaction. Communication as a social phenomenon is characterized by rationality and technicalization. The findings indicate that communication is an external manifestation of dialogic process realized through socially acceptable, effective, rational forms of information transfer between social interaction subjects. Communication is considered as informational-instrumental influence manifesting itself in socially acceptable forms.

Published: March 2021

The publication is devoted to the analysis of the main factors and trends in the formation and development of industry in Siberian cities at the turn of the XIX—XX centuries. It was established that the economic recovery in the country, the development of water and railway transport contributed to the creation of conditions for the founding of factory establishments in the cities of the region. Small private enterprises for the treatment of animals and plant products prevailed, new industries (say, chemical, power plants) appeared. The working class was small in number. According to the profitability of production, distilleries occupied the first position, then butter and brick, soap and flour mills. The “wave-like” development of urban industry was noted (rise — decline — rise). Most pre-revolutionary industrial facilities have been lost, individual enterprises have been transformed, modernized, but still operate today.

The purpose of the work is the study of the dynamic development of semantics, political, legal, and cultural practices of the concepts of “citizen” and “subject” in the German Empire.
Indonesian Religious Treatment and Prevention for Covid-19
Authors: Taqiyuddin Muhammad
Published: March 2021

Sociologically, the world communities behave differently in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic. Some countries rely on the sophistication of medical technology as sich. This is different from religious communities in Indonesia with the Muslim majority. The handling of Covid-19 takes place collaboratively - despite the lack of technology and political aspects - between communities. His attitude also varied but has a meeting point that can be studied with the theme of science and religion. This mixed-method research model uses historical qualitative data from scientific articles and non-survey quantitative data; namely from the appeal circulating in the community through social media. Which, the appeal was conveyed from non-institutional religious organizations. Phenomenologically, this data is recorded through the collection of appeals and news. This study at least concluded that the majority of the Indonesian Muslim community responded to Covid-19 moderately. Although, at least their attitude is divided into 3 groups: a) ordinary people, b) scientists, c) religious. But in general, they can articulate face Covid-19 with a harmonious alignment between religious science, science, and technology. Evidenced by the emergence of regulations and graphic design products and social agreements that dimension the values of Islamic teachings, science, and technology as well.

Time-varying Doppler Effect formula and its application in Cosmology
Authors: Chen Qian
Published: March 2021

The Doppler effect for electromagnetic waves results in either a redshift or blueshift of light and is of great use in astronomy. It has been used to measure the speed of stars and galaxies approaching or receding from the earth. Currently, all Doppler effect formulas only work for constant velocities. Hence, the application of the Doppler effect includes the implicit assumption of a constant velocity of the motion during the period from the light emission to measurement. Since the light from remote stars detected from Earth may be from millions of years ago, it is difficult to assume that these stars kept moving at constant velocity for the long period, which may become a potential concern. A time-varying Doppler effect formula is mathematically derived from the principle of constant light speed, which is consistent with the classical and the redshift formulas. This formula is also supported by existing experiments and theoretically proved by Maxwell’s wave equations. The potential application of this time-varying Doppler effect formula in cosmology is discussed with the examples of cosmological redshift and Hubble’s law. The paper shows that the cosmological redshift can be interpreted as a special case of the time-varying Doppler effect. Further discussion between the observed Hubble’s redshift relationship and Hubble’s law may be needed.

First principles of consistent physics
Authors: Tan Wanpeng
Published: March 2021

For a consistent picture of fundamental physics and cosmology, three first principles are proposed as the foundations. That is, quantum variational principle that provides the formalism, consistent observation principle that set physical constraints and symmetries, and spacetime inflation principle that determines physical contents (particle fields and interactions). Under these three principles, a series of supersymmetric mirror models are constructed to study various phases of the universe at different spacetime dimensions and the dynamics between the phases. In particular, mirror symmetry, as the orientation symmetry of the underlying geometry, plays a critical role in the new framework.

FAM179B is differentially expressed in the lymph node metastases of patients with breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: March 2021

Metastasis to the brain is a clinical problem in patients with breast cancer (1-3). Between the breast and the brain reside the secondary lymphoid organ, the lymph nodes. We mined published microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with metastasis to the lymph nodes in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that family with sequence similarity 179 member B, FAM179B, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the lymph node metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Analysis of a separate microarray dataset revealed that FAM179B was also differentially expressed in brain metastatic tissues (5). FAM179B mRNA was present at decreased quantities in lymph node metastases as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Importantly, expression of FAM179B in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with patient post-progression survival, in lymph node positive patients but not in lymph node negative patients.

So based on the results of the research that has been done, it is found that information is a deficiency in tourism development in Indonesia. Lack of information makes tourists not interested in visiting Indonesia. The government has made development in Indonesia by making an advertisement in the form of "Pesona Indonesia" by developing several new tourism spots and named as "10 new Bali destinations". It is admitted that the government's strategy in making “Pesona Indonesia” advertisements is very strategic and almost attracts tourists. However, it is unfortunate that the lack of communication and promotion makes this marketing only temporary.

Titan's prevailing circulation might drive highly intermittent, yet significant sediment transport
Authors: Comola Francesco , Kok Jasper , Lora Juan , Cohanim Kaylie , Yu Xinting , He Chao , McGuiggan Patricia , Hörst Sarah , Turney Francis
Published: March 2021

Titan, the largest moon of Saturn, is characterized by gigantic linear dunes and an active dust cycle. Much like on Earth, these aeolian processes are caused by the wind-driven saltation of surface grains. It is still unclear, however, how saltation on Titan can occur despite the typically weak surface winds and the potentially cohesive surface grains. Here, we explore the hypothesis that saltation on Titan may be sustained at lower wind speeds than previously thought, primarily through granular splash rather than aerodynamic lifting of surface grains. We propose a saltation mass flux parameterization for Titan and use it to quantify sediment transport with a general circulation model. The results suggest that Titan's prevailing circulation can generate highly intermittent yet significant saltation, with mass fluxes of the order of 10^4 kg m^-1 year^-1, and that Titan dunes may be formed primarily by fine grains, approximately 0.1 mm in size.

Published: March 2021

We report on ultrashort pulsed laser fabrication strategies for glass articles with customized edges and curved surfaces. To achieve single-pass, full-thickness modifications along the entire substrate, processing optics are presented that allow for beam shaping of non-diffracting beams and, additionally, for aberration compensation of phase distortions occurring at the tilted or curved interfaces. The efficacy of our concepts is presented by evaluating the surface and edge qualities of separated glass tubes with complex inner and outer contours as well as glass chamfer structures.
Measuring Reading Anxiety in College Students
Authors: Edwards Ashley , Daucourt Mia Cristina , Hart Sara Ann , Schatschneider Chris
Published: March 2021

The goal of the present study was to create a brief reliable scale for measuring reading anxiety in college students, a time when reading demands are particularly high. Results revealed individual differences in reading anxiety in a sample of 402 university students, showing reliable measurements from a 10-item scale and replicated in a sample of 198 undergraduates. Reading anxiety related to reading fluency, reading self-concept, self-perception of reading ability compared to others, reading enjoyment, and reading for pleasure frequency. Furthermore, higher reading anxiety was observed in students with a known learning disability compared to those without. How well each of the 10 items differentiated levels of reading anxiety were explored using a graded response model. We provide evidence for the reading-specific nature of reading anxiety by demonstrating a higher correlation between reading anxiety and reading fluency than math fluency and that reading anxiety exists separable from general and social anxiety.
"One For The Money"? The impact of the "disk crisis" on "ordinary musicians" income: The case of French speaking Switzerland
Authors: Bataille Pierre , Perrenoud Marc
Published: March 2021

The so called "disk-crisis" and the rise of music digitization and/or music piracy regularly make the headlines of general and specialized newspapers. The impacts of these metamorphoses on the more visible actors of the national musical industries are relatively well documented. Nevertheless, little is known about the impact of these changes on the musicians’ incomes – especially the "ordinary" ones, who are located at the intermediary and the bottom stages of the professional hierarchy. This paper aims to contribute to better understanding the extent to which digitization reshaped the ways these little-known musicians make a living from music. To do so, we use longitudinal data collected from a sample of musicians active in the French-speaking part of Switzerland in the early 2010’s. These data mainly consist of life calendar-data, with retrospective information on income sources for every year of the career – from the first gig played in public to 2013. Crossing sequence analysis and geometrical data analysis tools, we analyze whether or not digitization spurred a career reorientation to one of two major "poles" structuring the "ordinary musicians" professional space (the "artist" pole or the "craftsman" one). We show that changes are few. Nevertheless, we point out how social origin and gender impact these potential career re-orientations. More broadly, our paper points to the need to analyze the social conditions of appropriability of technological innovations - especially when it comes to symbolic goods.
Is heart rate variability actually a reliable index of training? Evidence from the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown.
Authors: Javaloyes Alejandro , Sanabria Daniel , Moya-Ramón Manuel , Lillo-Bevia Jose R. , March Manuel Mateo
Published: March 2021

PURPOSE: The COVID-19 crisis also affected elite sport severely, as elite athletes either stopped or drastically reduced their training regimen due to the lack of competitions and the mandatory lockdown. The aim of this study was to test whether heart rate variability was a reliable index of training load, which was dramatically altered due to the mandatory lockdown that occurred as a consequence of the COVID-19. METHODS: Training (volume and intensity) and heart rate variability of sixteen professional male (n = 8; body mass index = 22.2 ± 2.0) and female cyclists (n = 8; body mass index = 20.3 ± 1.1) before (4 weeks), during (7 weeks), and after (4 weeks) the mandatory lockdown were monitored. RESULTS: Individual analyses showed that the mandatory lockdown caused reliable reductions in training volume in 13 subjects (-96 to -7 % reductions in minutes), that were followed by an increase after the lockdown in all subjects (5 to 270%). In contrast, changes in training intensity were not homogenous across individuals. Crucially, changes in heart rate variability neither follow training load nor intensity at the individual level. CONCLUSIONS: Heart rate variability did not seem to be a reliable proxy of training load and/or intensity as many previous reports have suggested, even if training conditions changed dramatically overnight.

Immunotherapy has always been scrutinized to its extent when it comes to having a promising cure for cancer. Advancement in this field is ever growing with the new immunomodulatory agents being discovered or modified along with their complete characterization extracted from plants and fungi as well. Due to the lack of complete understanding of either the structure or the mechanism by which they work, very few of them pass the clinical trial phases and reach the market. Nevertheless, scientists have not stopped working on understanding the tumor behavior and various immune responses related to it to come up with therapeutically potential immunomodulatory agents. Current agents are also being used in combination with other therapies to enhance the anti-tumour effect and to achieve better efficacy in the treatment. The intricate connection of immune responses and tumor behavior surely intrigues the scientists, which paves the way for better agents being poured Cancer Immunotherapy.
An Insight of Mechanism of Action of Four Anti-Cancer Drugs
Authors: Shehnaz Gul
Published: March 2021

Cancer being a multifarious disease, can be mutated in many ways so that it can enhance the process of proliferation, invasion through an overactive cellular cycle and cell division and by antibacterial and chemotherapeutic drugs is highly guaranteed. The cells can prevent the development of apoptosis by the absence of (TP53) protein i-e tumor suppressor gene, in the necrosis, inflammatory signals especially that invade immune cells, which promote invasion and malignancy. Cancer cells can form their own factors and growth ligands which may include the peptides such as Bombesin (secreted by the small cells in lung cancer). It activates both the invasion and the metastasis by forming changes in shape and attachment to the outer matrix of neighboring cell. The paper presents classes of anti-mitotic compounds, the overview of the molecular mechanism of action of anti-mitotic agents, including Bevacizumab, trastuzumab, Mechlorethamine and paclitaxel, and a demonstration of many other anti-mitotic chemical limitations.
