Indoor radon and thoron concentrations have been measured in the year 2015-2016 using the newly developed pin-hole based radon/thoron discriminating dosimeters with single entry. The measurements have been carried out in fifty dwellings of eight different villages/town situated in Saiha and Lawngtlai District, Mizoram. Dwellings were selected from the building type along with an idea of different ventilation conditions which affects the indoor concentration. Reinforce Cement Concrete (RCC) type of buildings are found to have the highest concentration of indoor radon (100.34 ± 7 Bq/m3) and thoron (41.41 ± 18 Bq/m3) and grounded house are found to have higher concentration compared to that of house with crawl space. However, the concentrations obtained in this work lies in the range covered by nationwide survey result as well as the ICRP regulations.

Published: December 2020

The automotive industry is going through a transformation. Disruptive technologies and tools are shifting the business model from one of automobiles to one of mobility. To accomplish this shift, automotive companies are embracing acquisitions and partnerships. In a time when the consumer electronics industry is delivering new products to market at a rapid rate, automotive manufacturers must identify ways of getting new products and features to customers faster and with high quality to maintain or increase market share.  We provide an analysis of interviews with global automotive company professionals to understand the impact that quality requirements have on innovation and the advanced product design process.   The research contributes to the literature on innovation and quality, identifying organizational behaviors and practices that facilitate or obstruct the development of high quality fast-to-market innovations, particularly in the area of mobility.

Published: December 2020

Seventeen water-soluble substances (of sodium, ammonium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, formate, methanesulfonate, glyoxylate, chloride, nitrite, nitrate, glutarate, succinate, malate, malonate, sulfate and oxalate) in 94 samples of particle matter in the ambient air, collected over ten months, in a suburb of Belgrade (Serbia), were determined by ion chromatography. To apportion the sources of the air pollution, the log-transformed data were processed by applying multivariate techniques. Principal component and factor analysis identified three main factors controlling the data variability: stationary combustion processes with the highest loadings of oxalate, malonate and malate; landfill emission and secondary inorganic aerosol characterized by high levels of ammonium, nitrate and sulfate; a contribution of mineral dust composed of magnesium, calcium and chloride. The hierarchical cluster analysis pointed out a differentiation of the samples into five groups belonging to different variables inputs. For the classification of ambient air samples using nine selected ions, the recognition ability of linear discriminant analysis, k-nearest neighbors, and soft independent modeling of class analogy were 87.0, 94.6, and 97.8 %, respectively. Time-series analysis showed that the traffic emission is more pronounced in winter in contrast to the mineral dust influence, while the effect of waste combustion exhibits no trend.
The communication effects on inflation forecast errors: Empirical evidence from Colombia
Authors: Anzoátegui Zapata , Galvis Ciro
Published: December 2020

The purpose of this article is to explore the central bank?s ability to management inflation forecast errors in Colombia. We present empirical evidence based on the Colombian experience with data from the period of 2008 to 2020. The communication channel selected for analysis is the press releases. The empirical evidence is divided into three steps: (i) regression analysis using an EGARCH model; (ii) use of VAR models; and (iii) variance decomposition analysis. The communications effects are significant for several months and that close to half of the forecast error variance can be explained by innovations in central bank communication. The results obtained allow monetary policymakers to develop more efficient strategies for anchoring expectations and strengthening the central bank credibility.
Relationship between emotional reactivity to visual stimuli and basic personality traits
Authors: Soskic Andjela , Djurovic Boris , Opacic Goran
Published: December 2020

Two studies with the same goal, but different instruments, investigated the correlation between basic personality traits and electrodermal reactivity to aversive visual stimuli. Study 1 focused on the Five Factor Model traits, while in Study 2, we investigated the HEXACO model, and an additional trait, Disintegration. In Study 1, emotional reactivity was expressed using Polyscore, a composite polygraph measure in which electrodermal response (EDR) had the largest weight, and it was measured with respect to stimuli with positive, neutral, and negative valences. In Study 2, we employed several measures of EDR to stimuli with negative valence. In both experiments, Conscientiousness correlated positively with EDR to aversive stimuli. Additionally, in Study 2, there was a negative correlation between Disintegration and EDR to aversive stimuli. Other traits were not related to EDR to aversive stimuli, and, in Study 1, we found no relationship between personality traits and reactivity to stimuli with positive or neutral valence.

Published: December 2020

It is now more then a choice to use small-distributed generators (DGs) based
on renewable energy resources (RES) due to their benefits in minimizing
environmental problems and simplifying power system planning and operation.
The integration of DGs in the main grid or in forming a standalone microgrid
(MG) is increasing day by day and became as an alternative solution to large
conventional central power stations and as a key for the electrification of
rural areas. This paper presents an overall comparison of controlling the MG
system combining between different DGs in islanded mode. Energy management
system (EMS) applied is mainly an essential task to maintain an ideal flow
of energy in between generation and consumption, many are strategies to do
so, the artificial intelligence (AI) (highlighted) is one of the most
advantages methods to help sizing, optimizing, and power energy managing. To
solve this problem in this paper we present a Fuzzy Logic Control of
isolated MG in comparison with a classic PI control system to see the
different influences in maintaining stability in voltage and frequency
output especially in the standalone application. The considered HRES
combines a wind turbine (WT) and photovoltaic (PV) and an energy storage
system (ESS). Simulation results obtained from MATLAB/Simulink environment
demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed intelligent artificial
algorithm.
Catalysing State and non-State actors for nature
Authors: Curet Florence , Puydarrieux Philippe
Published: December 2020

In recent decades, partnerships and cooperative initiatives of State and non-State actors have been increasingly called upon by the United Nations to contribute transformative solutions to the challenges of sustainable development. Many of such initiatives strive to end hunger, mitigate climate change or build sustainable cities, and are most deeply connected to natural resources and land use to achieve their objectives. The present mapping draws a comprehensive landscape of 208 global coalitions undertaken by States and/or non-State actors, whose different missions drive direct and indirect impacts on biodiversity, harmful or restorative. Recommendations aim to inspire coalitions with new or enhanced commitments for biodiversity, adapted to their initial awareness and commitments, and highlight a set of best practices for coalitions and their members to accelerate biodiversity mainstreaming.

The course of the grafted polymerization of 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate on polyvinylpyrrolidone with the formation of a reticulated copolymer with simultaneously chemical reduction of nickel ions is confirmed. The influence of the reduction process on the structural parameters of the polymeric matrix – the grafting efficiency and the content of polyvinylpyrrolidone in the copolymer, the molecular weight between crosslinks is established. The influence of the presence of polymer-monomer composition components on the particles formation of nickel filler is investigated. It has been found that the nickel ions reduction during the polymerization process promotes a uniform distribution of the formed metal particles in the polymer matrix volume.

The results of experimental studies of the peculiarities of metallization of granular polyethylene are presented. The influence of concentration factors on the metallization process of zinc-activated polyethylene granules of brand Liten PL-10 was investigated. It is established that by changing the concentration of copper sulfate and sodium hydroxide, as well as the degree of loading of polymeric raw materials, it is possible to effectively regulate the amount of recovered copper on granules of polyethylene, and therefore the thickness of the metal layer formed on them. The use of the method of preliminary processing of activated polyethylene granules in a solution of copper sulfate can significantly reduce the induction period and increase the rate of recovery of copper ions.
Das Ende der autochthonen Minderheiten im Kanaltal (Friaul/Italien)? Viersprachigkeit als Reminiszenz – regionale Identität als Emergenz
Authors: Plautz Anna-Maria , Hasenauer Leonie , Čede Peter , Steinicke Ernst
Published: December 2020

Diese Studie untersucht den ethnolinguistischen Wandel der autochthonen deutschund slowenischsprachigen Minderheiten im Kanaltal (Valcanale) seit der staatlichen Zugehörigkeit zu Italien ab 1919. Nach der historischen und theoretischen Einbettung sowie der Vorstellung des Forschungskonzepts werden der starke Bevölkerungsrückgang und das „Aussterben“ des autochthonen Sprachgebrauchs sowie der Viersprachigkeit thematisiert. Neben weiteren Faktoren setzen intrafamiliäre Mehrsprachigkeit und zu spät eingeführter Minderheitenschutz den Bestand der ethnolinguistischen Vielfalt unter Druck. Die junge Generation steht dem Romanischen offen gegenüber, und so zeichnet sich nun - nach den jahrzehntelang internalisierten Dualismen - die Emergenz einer verflochtenen regionalen Identität ab. Dennoch kann die Viersprachigkeit noch heute in der linguistischen Landschaft entdeckt werden. Diese Reminiszenzen sind - wie auch andere Kulturlandschaftselemente - identitätsstiftend und gemeinschaftsfördernd.

Innerhalb dieser explorativen Feldforschung haben Einzelinterviews mit 121 Turiner Schülern/ Schülerinnen der 5. bis 8. Klasse sowie die Auswertung von 141 an 27 Italienisch- und Herkunftssprachenlehrer/-innen verteilten Fragebögen ergeben, dass viele von ihnen „zweisprachige Natives“ sind, da sie zusätzlich zu Italienisch auch mit einer anderen Sprache aufwachsen. Ihre Mehrsprachigkeit findet jedoch in der Schulpraxis kaum didaktische Entsprechung, da der Unterricht der Familiensprache sowie systematische Förderung im Italienischen sind meist Wunschdenken sind. Erstrebenswert wäre, die Curricula im Sinn der EU-Vorgaben umzuschreiben und) den sprachlich heterogenen Klassen gezielte Ressourcen und definierte Vorgehensweisen zur Verfügung zu stellen, um Schulerfolg, Chancengerechtigkeit und Mehrsprachigkeit zu fördern mit positiven Folgen für jeden Einzelnen und die Volkswirtschaft als Ganzes.
Perinatal Loss in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Scoping Review
Authors: Baffour-Awuah Alberta , Richter Solina
Published: December 2020

Estimates from the World Health Organization (WHO) reveal that perinatal loss is a threat in sub-Saharan Africa. It has been established that half of all stillbirths and neonatal deaths occur around the onset of labour to delivery. Approximately 75% of these deaths occur in sub-Saharan Africa, giving the region the highest level of perinatal loss in the world. There are limited studies that have investigated the experiences of and support for women who experience perinatal loss. This article reports on a scoping review that aimed to explore and summarise the existing literature about the experiences of perinatal loss among couples in sub-Saharan Africa, and to identify the relevant support health professionals and the community give to improve the well-being of parents experiencing perinatal loss. Electronic databases were used to search comprehensively peer-reviewed articles and grey literature between 2005 and 2019. Two independent reviewers screened and analysed the selected articles through a data charting procedure. Eight articles met the inclusion criteria for the study. They were all qualitative studies: seven of them were peer-reviewed articles and one was a master’s thesis. The findings were categorised under two themes: (1) emotional experiences of perinatal loss among sub-Saharan African women; and (2) support systems available for these women. The literature review highlighted the limited research and lack of literature about the emotional experiences of bereaved couples in sub-Saharan Africa. Furthermore, the literature review revealed that bereaved couples need more support to reduce psychological trauma. The study findings demonstrated the need for more research to enhance understanding of and improve the services provided to bereaved couples and their families.
Gendered Reproductive Negotiation and Family Formation: Latino/a Parents and Voluntarily Childless Couples in Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas
Authors:   ,   Southern Methodist University, Lott Jessica
Published: December 2020

My dissertation explores tensions between the empirical reality that Latino/a birth rates have been slowing in the United States since the Great Recession in 2007 and American discourse that presumes Latinos/as are a fairly homogenous group with “excessively” high fertility rates. This study is an intervention in the literature on Latino/a reproduction that assumes large family size as well as the literature on voluntarily childless couples, who are generally assumed to be Anglo in the American context. I explore these tensions with the case study of middle-class heterosexual Latino/a couples in Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas. I compare voluntarily childless Latinos/as with parents to learn about reproductive negotiations through the lens of gender and power. In my research, I wanted to learn: What particular configurations do participants in my study want for their families, and why? What are their views on gender, marriage, and parenting? Why do they want small families, and how do their parents and grandparents feel about this? These are central questions that I explore throughout this dissertation. I examine these questions through qualitative analysis of narratives of marital histories and reproductive negotiation. I spent a year conducting ethnographic fieldwork with middle-class Latinos/as and worked with thirty-five individuals whose narratives represent twenty-one heterosexual couples to gather these narratives. (Not all male partners agreed to participate.) I use an intersectional framework (focusing on gender, race/ethnicity, and class) to understand power structures that shape participants’ views of and decisions around family formation. Through their narratives, I identify ways that participants move within, challenge, and reify these power structures both individually and within couples. I find that issues of parenting and family formation are important to both men and women, but still primarily fall on the shoulders of women. Moreover, many Latinas experience role conflict between middle-class expectations and familial expectations in ways that men do not. For these reasons, women in the study generally had final say on reproductive decisions, while their husbands maintained flexible ideas about family formation. Middle-class Latinas in my project employ one of three strategies to deal with the role conflict they experience: forgoing motherhood, delaying motherhood or career, or leaning on family support (often based on familismo to mitigate role conflict.

The assessment and management of thermal burn injuries in a UK ambulance service: a clinical audit
Authors: Ashman Harriet , Rigg Dean , Moore Fionna
Published: December 2020

Background: Although burn emergencies are infrequently encountered, the ambulance service is often the first point of contact for patients in these situations. It is therefore important that these potentially devastating injuries are managed in accordance
with the evidence base. Appropriate assessment and management of these patients in the pre-hospital phase will have a significant impact upon their long-term outcomes, such as scarring cosmesis and functionality.

Aim and objectives: This audit
was conducted to determine if patients presenting to one UK ambulance service with thermal burn injuries were managed safely, effectively and in a timely manner. Areas highlighted for improvement will assist in directing future pre-hospital research and educational requirements. Epidemiological
data will also be provided.

Results: 278 thermal burn incidents occurring from June 2017 to May 2018 (inclusive) were included in this audit. A larger proportion of burn patients were paediatrics who fell into the 0‐10 age category, most
burn patients were injured at a home address and only nine of the overall sample were major burns. Only 35% of patients received adequate cooling of their burns, an essential first aid intervention. The assessment of pain (87%) and provision of analgesia (75%) showed a higher compliance rate.
However, only 54% had pain reassessed after analgesia. There was a near 100% compliance rate for patients being managed without hydrogel dressings and topical medicines.

Conclusion: The results indicate several areas for improvement within the
ambulance trust. Of importance is the application of basic first aid, such as cooling. It is important not only to improve education among staff but also to understand non-compliance. It should be acknowledged that assessment of pain and provision of analgesia demonstrated far higher compliance
compared to current pre-hospital evidence. Several points for education and research have been identified.
A national survey of ambulance paramedics on the identification of patients with end of life care needs
Authors: Eaton-Williams Peter , Barrett Jack , Mortimer Craig , Williams Julia
Published: December 2020

Objectives: Developing the proactive identification of patients with end of life care (EoLC) needs within ambulance paramedic clinical practice may improve access to care for patients not benefitting from EoLC services at present. To inform development
of this role, this study aims to assess whether ambulance paramedics currently identify EoLC patients, are aware of identification guidance and believe this role is appropriate for their practice.

Methods: Between 4 November 2019 and 5 January
2020, registered paramedics from nine English NHS ambulance service trusts were invited to complete an online questionnaire. The questionnaire initially explored current practice and awareness, employing multiple-choice questions. The Gold Standards Framework Proactive Identification Guidance
(GSF PIG) was then presented as an example of EoLC assessment guidance, and further questions, permitting free-text responses, explored attitudes towards performing this role.

Results: 1643 questionnaires were analysed. Most participants (79.9%;
n = 1313) perceived that they attended a patient who was unrecognised as within the last year of life on at least a monthly basis. Despite 72.0% (n = 1183) of paramedics indicating that they had previously made an EoLC referral to a General Practitioner, only 30.5% (n = 501) were familiar
with the GSF PIG and of those only 25.9% (n = 130) had received training in its use. Participants overwhelmingly believed that they could (94.4%; n = 1551) and should (97.0%; n = 1594) perform this role, yet current barriers were identified as the inaccessibility of a patient’s medical
records, inadequate EoLC education and communication difficulties. Consequently, facilitators to performing this role were identified as the provision of training in EoLC assessment guidance and establishing accessible, responsive EoLC referral pathways.

Conclusions:
Provision of EoLC assessment training and dedicated EoLC referral pathways should facilitate ambulance paramedics’ roles in the timely recognition of EoLC patients, potentially addressing current inequalities in access to EoLC.

Published: December 2020

This paper presents a techno-economic investigation of an integrated rooftop solar PV system for typical home applications in Oman that can reduce the power consumption from the grid and export excess PV generated power back to the gird. Since renewable energy systems design echnically depends on the site, this study selects a typical two-story villa (Home), in a site Al-Hamra, Oman. Temperature is one of the critical parameters in this design as it varies widely over the day and from one season to another in Oman. With the effect of temperature variation, the PV system has designed using system models for the required load of the home. The design process has included two main design constraints, such as the available rooftop space and the grid-connection availability for the selected home.This research also evaluates the economic feasibility of the design system considering the energy export tariff as per the Bulk Supply Tariff (BST) scheme in Oman. The design outcome reveals that the designed PV system can supply the load energy requirement in a year. In addition, the rooftop solar PV system can sell surplus energy back to the grid that generates additional revenue for the owner of the system. The economic performance indices such as payback period, internal rate of return, net present value,and profitability index ensure the financial feasibility of the designed rooftop solar PV system for the selected home.

The formation of medical statistical information and the effectiveness of statistical records of diseases of the upper respiratory tract, ear and mastoid process in children on the basis of the current International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision (ICD-10). The relevance of the analysis of the completeness and effectiveness of statistical records of the incidence of diseases of the upper respiratory tract, ear and mastoid process is substantiated. It is established that the reporting of the incidence of the child population on upper respiratory tract, ear and mastoid process is carried out in accordance with the headings of the ICD-10 revision. The requirements of the ICD-11 revision do not make significant changes in the statistical records. Features of statistical records of diseases of the upper respiratory tract, ear and mastoid process on the basis of the modern classifier of diseases — ICD-10 are shown and characterized. The shortcomings of statistical records of diseases of the ear and mastoid process in children in terms of clinical assessment of cases. The reasons of probable underestimation of statistical indicators of incidence of diseases of the upper respiratory tract in this category of patients are analyzed. The presence of differences in the formation of groups of statistical accounting of the incidence of the ear, nose and throat organs in children during the analysis of statistical trends has been proved. It is concluded that this contributes to the inaccuracy of accounting and data analysis, which hinders the development of adequate management decisions. It is shown the expediency of developing indicators, bringing into line the criteria for the formation of age groups for statistical records and creating a single register of nosology for such records at different levels.
Features of psychoneurological and functional disorders in patients with major cognitive impairment of various etiologies
Authors:   Sumy State University, Chyniak O. S.
Published: December 2020

Cognitive impairment in patients with major cognitive impairment is often accompanied by behavioral and mental violations (BMV). BMV is common in both patients with major neurodegenerative cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer’s disease (MNDCI) and patients with major vascular cognitive impairment (MVCI). As cognitive impairment progresses, there is a gradual loss of basic activities in daily life such as feeding, dressing, bathing and movement, which are necessary for independent functioning. The article considers behavioral and psychoneurological symptoms and evaluates the functional activity in everyday life in patients with major cognitive impairment of various etiologies. To make a comparative characterization of the prevalence of behavioral and psychoneurologicall symptoms and to assess the functional activity in everyday life in patients with major cognitive impairment of various etiologies. Psychoneurological symptoms in patients with major cognitive impairment were quite heterogeneous and differed in structure and frequency of manifestations. Behavioral disorders in the vast majority of cases were significantly more common in patients MVCI (73.3 %) than MNDCI (36.7 %), p = 0.0040. Affective disorders (depressive) were also observed more often in patients with MVCI (67.8 %) than with MNDCI (38.2 %), p = 0.0370. When assessing the prevalence of psychoneurological symptoms on the NPI scale in patients with MVCI with the same severity, more pronounced depression/dysphoria (p = 0.0281), apathy/indifference (p = 0.0412) were noted. In patients with MNDCI, sleep and nocturnal behavioral disorders (p = 0.0389), irritability/mood lability (p = 0.0480). When assessing activity in daily life on the BADLS scale, no significant differences were observed in the total number of points in patients with MNDCI and MVCI (14,6 ± 3,35), (19,0 ± 4,06), р = 0,3961. However, an important feature of the comparative characteristics of the functional status in MNDCI and MVCI in mild disease severity were the presence of more significant and probable differences in subtests: «ability to shop» (p = 0.0047), «time orientation» (p = 0.0242), «cooking» p = 0.0335), «use of transport» (p = 0.0439). In patients with MVCI moderate degree by subtests: «dressing» (p = 0.0035), «time orientation» (p = 0.0421), «walking» (p = 0.0473). Thus, according to the results of the study, patients with MVCI had more serious behavioral, psychoneurological symptoms and functional disorders than patients with MNDCI.
Георгий Новый Софийский — мученик за веру, сожженный турками за отказ принять ислам
Authors:   Институт славяноведения РАН, Калиганов Игорь Иванович
Published: December 2020

В статье рассказывается о болгарском юноше Георгии, казненном турками в 1515 г. в Софии за отказ принять ислам. Его почитание быстро распространилось на Балканах и столь же быстро проникло в русские земли посредством устной передачи сюжета: всего лишь через четверть века афонские монахи Прохор и Митрофан рассказали о трагической гибели мученика новгородскому архиепископу Макарию, и тот повелел священнику своей домовой церкви, иеромонаху Илье составить житие Георгия Нового, используя сведения странников. Спустя 10 лет этот софийский мученик был канонизован как общероссийский святой на московском Церковном Соборе 1549 г., и в этой связи псковский агиограф Василий-Варлаам написал проложное житие и службу страдальцу. Культ Георгия Нового получил исключительно широкое распространение в русских землях, сравнявшись по своему масштабу с культами других известных южнославянских святых, пустынножителя Ивана Рильского и архиепископа Саввы Сербского.

Published: December 2020

Автор рассматривает биографию и творчество болгарского просветителя, епископа Софрония Врачанского (1739–1813) — автора первой в истории болгарской литературы «Автобиографии» и первой болгарской печатной книги «Недельник», изданной на языке близком к народному. Он творил в период Болгарского национального возрождения, которое характеризовалось обилием незавершенных жанровых и стилистических форм — явлением, обычных при переходе от одной литературной эпохи к другой. Все это в полной мере проявилось и в двух главных новациях Софрония — «Автобиографии» и «Недельнике».

Князь Лазарь становится правителем Сербии (материалы к музейной статье о святом Лазаре Сербском)
Authors:   Институт славяноведения РАН, Турилов Анатолий Аркадьевич
Published: December 2020

В статье рассматривается вопрос вхождении во власть сербского феодала Лазаря Хребеляновича (ок. 1320–1389). Не имея высокого «царственного» происхождения, он после прерыва линии правящей династии Неманичей сумел стать во главе Сербии и благополучно управлять ею на протяжении почти двух десятилетий в качестве князя. Лазарь проявил себя талантливым дипломатом, хорошим хозяйственником и собирателем сербских земель, но политический и экономический подъем Сербии был прерван неудачной для сербов битвой с турками на Косовом поле в 1389 г. В ее результате страна оказалась обескровленной и утратила значительную часть своего политического суверенитета. А погибший на Косовом поле князь Лазарь был провозглашен святым мучеником и превратился в заметную фигуру сербской литературы и фольклора.

Повесть А.Ф. Вельтмана «Райна, королевна болгарская» в воззрениях эпохи (вторая четверть XIX в.)
Authors:   Институт славяноведения РАН, Фролова Марина Михайловна
Published: December 2020

В статье сообщается об одаренном писателе А.Ф. Вельтмане и его повести «Райна, королевна болгарская», которая, будучи переведенная на болгарский язык, оказала значительное влияние на болгарского читателя и театрального зрителя. Исследование реалий русского общества первой половины XIX в., когда жил и творил А.Ф. Вельтман, а именно: русско-турецкой войны 1828–1829 гг., деятельности Общества истории и древностей российских, существовавшей в тот период историографии, позволяет проникнуть в творческую лабораторию автора и выявить его позицию в отношении болгарского народа. Следует особо подчеркнуть, что через всю повесть Вельтмана проходит лейтмотивом идея исторического предопределения России в освобождении Болгарии, которая воспринималась болгарским обществом второй половины XIX в. с большим воодушевлением и надеждой.

Духовные стихи в русской и славянской традиции
Authors:   Институт славяноведения РАН, Гаврюшина Лидия  Константиновна
Published: December 2020

Духовные стихи — жанр, связанный с устной народной традицией, часто находящей отражение в письменной форме, входя в состав рукописных стиховников, тексты нередко сопровождаются крюковой нотацией. В русском и славянском фольклоре они содержательно и стилистически связаны с церковной книжностью и занимают между ней и фольклором промежуточное положение. На Руси духовные стихи возникли, скорее всего, еще в домонгольский период. Призванные поддерживать дух благочестия в народе, они исполнялись в древности бродячими певцами «каликами перехожими». Хранителями наиболее древнего пласта духовных стихов вплоть до нашего времени являются старообрядцы. Стихи могли исполняться в день погребения, на поминках, за трапезой; они служили своеобразным звеном, которое соединяло для верующего человека церковную и повседневную жизнь. В статье рассматриваются некоторые типы старообрядческих духовных стихов в сравнении с примерами из восточно- и юго-восточной европейской народной словесности.

People tend to evaluate information from reliable sources more favourably, but it is unclear exactly how perceivers' worldviews interact with this source credibility effect. In a large and diverse cross-cultural sample (N = 10,195 from 24 countries), we presented participants with obscure, meaningless statements attributed to either a spiritual guru or a scientist. We found a robust global source credibility effect for scientific authorities, which we dub `the Einstein effect': across all 24 countries scientists hold greater authority than spiritual source, even among highly committed religious people, who are relatively also more credulous of nonsense from scientists than they are of nonsense from spiritual gurus. Additionally, individual religiosity predicted a weaker relative preference for the statement from the scientist vs. the spiritual guru, and was more strongly associated with credibility judgments for the guru than the scientist. Independent data on explicit trust ratings across 143 countries mirrored the experimental patterns. These findings suggest that irrespective of religious worldview, science is a powerful and universal heuristic that signals the reliability of information.
