Leonid Dolgopolov’s Unpublished PhD Thesis on Alexander Blok’s Narrative Poems ‘Retribution’ and ‘The Twelve’
Authors: Molodiakov Vassili E.
Published: September 2021

Russian Modernism scholar Leonid Konstantinovich Dolgolopov (1928 –1995), known for his studies on Alexander Blok and Andrei Bely, completed his PhD thesis on Blok’s narrative poems “Retribution” and “The Twelve” in 1960, received his degree in 1962, but never published the text (now in the author’s possession). Its major parts were published as papers, its principal propositions and conclusions were developed in Dolgopolov’s later research works, but the thesis was never printed as a whole, and, from the author’s point of view, is worth being published as a valuable source for history of literary studies on Russian Symbolism as well as an original work useful and readable even now. The article presents Dolgopolov’s unpublished PhD thesis. Chapter One deals with “Retribution” and presents a comprehensive study of the poem’s plan, plot, and literary history, its genre peculiarities and historical scenes. Chapter Two analyzes evolution of Blok’s political views during the First World War and the Russian Revolution of 1917 and also its reflection in Blok’s lyric poems of this period. Chapter Three is the first of Dolgopolov’s numerous studies on “The Twelve”, the work he considered to be Blok’s highest literary achievement. Dolgopolov analyzed the poem’s ideas and images (especially Jesus Christ), its formal and rythmic novelty, its place among other contempopary poetical works on Russian revolution.
I. Bunin and K. Simonov: Paris Meetings
Authors: Morozov Sergey N.
Published: September 2021

The article presents a chronicle of personal meetings between I.A. Bunin and K.M. Simonov in Paris in the summer of 1946. K. Simonov was sent by the Soviet government to France in order to influence the decision of some Russian emigrants to return to Russia. The first number in this short list, of course, was I.A. Bunin. The beginning of the return of emigrants was the Decree of the USSR Supreme Council for the restoration of citizenship of the USSR citizens of the former Russian Empire, released in June 1946, Many Russian immigrants want to come back, started to issue a Soviet passport. I.A. Bunin at first hesitated, he really wanted to return to his homeland, but at the same time he perfectly understood the whole situation that had developed there. It was precisely to “push” the first Russian Nobel laureate to return to Russia that K.M. Simonov arrived in Paris. However, his mission, in the end, was not crowned with success, I.A. Bunin remained in exile with a Nansen passport.
“The World of Writers” in Z.N. Gippius’s Prose Works and Her Strategies at the Turn of the Century
Authors: Rykunina Yulia A.
Published: September 2021

The paper discusses Z.N. Gippius’s formation as a prose writer. Her position in literature was ambivalent: she published her prose in “thick” magazines, was a friend of some old generation writers and at the same time was associated with decadence and new directions in literature. It was important for her to get support of respectable writers and at the same time she criticized their outdated positivistic world perception from her modernist point of view. She also published her prose in thin illustrated magazines just to provide the Merezhkovskys’ financial position. All of these items are reflected in her letters of this period and as well in her prose, in which she represented various types of writers and showed her attitude to them. The analyses reveals that among the writers that were ironically shown by Gippius there were no authoritative figures; to the author’s opinion, for Gippius such figure was Leo Tolstoy, who would appear in her prose under his own name.
The Women’s Question among the Masons of Russian Paris
Authors: Venditti Michela
Published: September 2021

The article is a introduction to the publication of the minutes of the meetings of the Russian lodge "Northern Star" in Paris, concerning the discussion on the admission of women to freemasonry. The proposed archival materials, deposited in the National Library of France in Paris, date back to 1945 and 1948. The women's issue became more relevant after the Second World War due to the fact that Masonic lodges had to recover and recruit new adherents. The article offers a brief overview of the women's issue in the history of Freemasonry in general, and in the Russian emigrant environment in particular. One of the founders of the North Star lodge, M. Osorgin, spoke out in the 1930s against the admission of women. In the discussions of the 1940s, the Masonic brothers repeat his opinion almost literally. Women's participation in Freemasonry is rejected using either gender or social arguments. Russian Freemasons mostly cite gender reasons: women have no place in Freemasonry because they are not men. Freemasonry, according to Osorgin, is a cult of the male creative principle, which is not peculiar to women. Discussions about the women's issue among Russian emigrant Freemasons are also an important source for studying their literary work; in particular, the post-war literary works of Gaito Gazdanov are closely connected with the Masonic ideology.
Sunshine after the rain? The stock market performance of family firms in and after financial crises
Authors: Franzoi Fabio , Mietzner Mark
Published: September 2021

This study applies financial crises as an exogenous shock to family and non-family firms to identify differences in stock market performance. We investigate 278 firms listed on the German Stock Exchange in the world financial crisis starting in 2007 as well as the Euro crisis starting in 2010. Based on the methodology of Gompers, Ishii, and Metrick (2003), we form portfolios with and without family blockholders and apply equally- as well as value-weighted four-factor models to identify differences in stock market performance. Results show that family firms do not necessarily perform better than non-family firms in years of economic downturn. But our models suggest that they outperform non-family firms three years after the beginning of the world financial crisis and in and after the Euro crisis. This implies that family firms recover faster than their non-family counterparts. We follow that the financial preconditions of family firms, differing financial strategies during recessions and the controlling incentives and capacities that are rooted in the long-term orientation and risk aversion of family blockholders, as well as the country-specific corporate governance framework of Germany, explain these differences. The paper contributes to the ongoing academic exploration on family firm performance as well as crisis resilience of family firms and suggests practical implications for policymakers in countries with high levels of family ownership among firms

Norway spruce deploys tissue-specific responses during acclimation to cold
Authors: Vergara Alexander , Haas Julia , Aro Tuuli , Stachula Paulina , Street Nathaniel , Hurry Vaughan
Published: September 2021

Cold acclimation in plants is a complex phenomenon involving numerous
stress-responsive transcriptional and metabolic pathways. Existing gene
expression studies have primarily addressed cold acclimation responses
in herbaceous plants, and few have focused on perennial evergreens, such
as conifers, that survive extremely low temperatures during winter.
Relative to Arabidopsis leaves, the main transcriptional response of
Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) H. Karst) needles exposed to cold was
delayed, and this delay was associated with slower development of
freezing tolerance. Despite this difference in timing, our results
indicate that, similar to herbaceous species, Norway spruce principally
utilizes early response transcription factors (TFs) of the APETALA
2/ethylene-responsive element binding factor (AP2/ERF) superfamily and
NAM (no apical meristem)/ATAF (Arabidopsis Transcription Factors)/CUC
(cup shaped cotyledon) (NACs). The needles and root of Norway spruce
showed contrasting results, in keeping with their different metabolic
and developmental states. Regulatory network analysis identified
conserved TFs, including a root-specific bHLH101 homolog, and other
members of the same TF family with a pervasive role in cold regulation,
such as homologs of ICE1 and AKS3, and also homologs of the NAC (anac47
and anac28) and AP2/ERF superfamilies (DREB2 and ERF3), providing new
functional insights into cold stress response strategies in Norway
spruce.

Published: September 2021

In the context of the dynamic development of innovations, the time factor for the implementation of new technologies obtains a dominant character, herewith, a rapid creation of infrastructure from prefabricated building structures is required. The current approach of assigning the durability of buildings in the design does not correspond to the current dynamics of competition and delays the implementation of innovations. The speed of investment and construction projects` implementation by reducing the construction time gives a significant economic advantage. Therefore, when designing, it is necessary to predict the expected period of demand for the created object for economic or power purpose and apply construction systems providing the appropriate durability. As a rule, when creating an object of federal significance, urban planning tasks of developing territories are solved in a short time. One of the ways of speeding up construction process is the use of prefabricated demountable building systems. After having analyzed foreign experience, the authors propose new building systems and improved technologies for erection of prefabricated buildings from lightweight building structures. Taking into account the impact of the time factor on selecting the durability of buildings, the authors substantiate the relevance of introducing into the practice of building frames from light steel thin-walled structures, enclosing structures from sandwich panels, volume-block and transformable buildings.

Word and Digit
Authors: Polyakov Yuri M.
Published: September 2021

The author analyzes the negative processes in modern Russian culture including the degradation of the Russian language use in literature, society and mass media; general substitution of Russian terms for borrowed foreign analogues; low artistic level of local television serials; openly pro-Western character of entertainment TV shows. Still these processes have a deeper layer: actual denial of the art educational and instructive role in Russia, including literature, theatre and cinema; the loss of the tradition that envisaged artistic research of social and moral state of the society. Against this background the author studies the dual-community factor of modern Russian literature: “pochvenicheskiy” and “intertextual”. The first interprets literature as part of the national life, when the last defines it as strictly personal issue. The isolation of two communities from each other, the state self-barring from the support of the most important from the point of view of self-identity issues, senses and directions in modern Russian literature, in particular, and in culture and art, in general, lead Russian literature (philology) in the direction of Russophobia commercial exploitation. An important part here is played by the degradation of the institutes of the literary community inner expertise, and in particular – the lowering of the level and quality of literary critic.
Message from ACHSM President - Dr Neale Fong

Published: September 2021

I trust that you are well and as a leader or manager in the health sector wherever you are, you have taken time to ensure your own health and wellbeing in these extraordinary times. There is no more important time than now to ensure that you have the resilience and reserves to travel through these uncertainties.

In the last issue this column focussed on the ACHSM’s Certification Program and the importance of a credential for health leaders and executives. As I noted then, certification in a profession is an employment currency within the health sector that has traditionally excluded the leaders and managers. Through the introduction of these credentials, the College supports members and future members to have their body of knowledge and skills recognised and provides the platform for continuing development.

Today let me focus on the importance of lifelong learning and intentionally managing a career that hopefully will span decades, providing you with personal satisfaction and success. Committing to lifelong learning, as we mandate within Certification, is a commitment to your own development, and your own sense of staying curious and active within the profession.

A quiet and consistent focus on staying current is at the foundation of confident and competent leadership and ACHSM sees this as being at the heart of our offerings to College members.

Predicting Electronic Cigarette Use Among Adults in the Philippines
Authors: Aljaberi Fahad Khamis , Yao.jr. Johnny J
Published: September 2021

Background: The Philippines has one of the highest cigarette smoking rates in Southeast Asia. Tobacco prevention and control efforts should not be a one-size-fits-all approach. One of the most recent and highly marketed way of cutting down smoking is the use of E-cigarettes. But its use may also have potential harmful effects which would be similar to cigarette smoking.
Purpose: This study aimed to determine the factors predicting electronic cigarette use among adults in a large metropolitan area in the Philippines.
Methods:The study used a descriptive-correlational multivariate research design. Adults who are at least 18 years of age, who are electronic cigarettes users, dual users (electronic cigarette and cigarette users), and non-smokers were chosen for this study. The researchers utilized a researcher- made questionnaire based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) in gathering the data.
Results: Multiple regression analysis suggests that positive attitude and high perceived behavioral control significantly predict intent to use electronic cigarettes. Moreover, intent to use is a significant predictor of actual e-cigarette use. 
Conclusion: People who have positive attitudes and high perceived behavioral control towards e-cigarette use are most likely to have higher intent to use e-cigarettes. Further, people who have high intent to use e-cigarettes will most likely use e-cigarettes. With reverence to the findings of this study, health managers and professionals should look into how e-cigarettes are being marketed to the public which may shape their attitude and behavior. Lastly, further studies should be conducted on other variables that may predict electronic cigarette use and measure health outcomes.

Assessment of Tribal Healthcare Infrastructure for Delivery of Maternal Health Program in Balasore District, Odisha, India
Authors: Dehury Ranjit Kumar
Published: September 2021

Introduction: There are still large number of maternal deaths in India nearing up to 50,000 deaths in a year which is one sixth of the world in recent years. Odisha (India) is also not performing well in maternal health care management despite its commitment in MDG and SDG. Odisha constitute 23% of tribal population, where the maternal mortality is very high and difficult to provide health services, particularly maternal health services. The study aims to assess provision of necessary health services for pregnant women in an inaccessible tribal pockets.
Methods: The study was conducted in Balasore district, Odisha (India) where a sizable population is consisting of various indigenous tribes, particularly in some blocks. The Parijata tool was used to assess various health care facilities which was developed by UNICEF and ARTH, Rajasthan. By this, availability of basic things like manpower, drugs and consumables are assessed along with laid down clinical practices and procedures.
Results: The study found that there is lack of provisioning of health services in healthcare facilities. Both District hospital at Balasore and Sub-district hospitals lack basic services recommended by WHO for taking care of women. Further, the effort of government to implement a uniform program across the state hinder the tailoring of services for tribal pockets.
Conclusion: The study provides remedial measures for improving the role and functioning of grass roots workers, integrating indigenous medicine with biomedicine, and revamping health information system to incorporate cultural features, thereby improving its utilization in the study area. The study raised critical issues about potential of maternal health program to deliver effective care of pregnant women in tribal dominated areas.

Published: September 2021

This study was conducted on the premise that Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) with strong reputation have superior market positions in the higher education sector. It empirically examined academic quality, service quality, and student's satisfaction in the context of HEIs. The investigation was conducted using quantitative research. Four hundred twenty-six questionnaires were collected from students in public and private HEIs in Klang Valley. Correlation analysis and multiple regression were used to analyze the influence of variables and hypotheses testing for the study. The findings showed a significant relationship between academic quality and service quality with students' satisfaction. The results show that HEIs should continue to reinvest in their resources and skills to ensure that their institutions are in a better position to meet the needs of their students and, at the same time, improve the branding and reputation of their institutions. Future studies should include other factors that may influence HEIs’ reputations (both positively and negatively). The findings may provide valuable guidelines to Malaysian HEIs in improving specific areas of academics quality and service quality.

The reliability of public transport services (e.g., bus) is a critical factor to be considered among public transport users. This factor is important for the consequences that come with unreliability will significantly increase unnecessary anxiety and discomfort. Such consequences include additional waiting time, late arrival at destinations, and missed connections. The ability of the system to follow the planned schedule and maintain consistent travel time are some of the factors that need to be in focus. In this study, we investigated satisfaction among students who reside in campus towards bus services provided by the university. Factor analysis and structural models were developed to achieve the research objective. Three factors havesignificant relationships with students’ satisfaction. The finding also indicated that bus services are an important requirement of the on-campus students.

The Psychopath Objection to Divine Command Theory
Authors: Flannagan Matthew Alexander
Published: September 2021

Abstract: Recently, Erik Wielenberg has developed a novel objection to divine command meta-ethics (DCM). The objection that DCM "has the implausible implication that psychopaths have no moral obligations and hence their evil acts, no matter how evil, are morally permissible". This article criticizes Wielenberg's argument. Section 1 will expound Wielenberg's new "psychopath" argument in the context of the recent debate over the Promulgation Objection. Section 2 will discuss two ambiguities in the argument; in particular, Wielenberg’s formulation is ambiguous between whether Wielenberg uses the word "obligation" in an objective or subjective sense. Section 3 will argue that this ambiguity undercuts the argument. If Wielenberg is using the word obligation in a subjective sense, his arguments do not show that that psychopaths "have no moral obligations". By contrast, if Wielenberg is using the word obligation in an objective sense, his arguments do not show that Divine command theorists are committed to denying psychopaths have obligations.

Viéndose en este fenómeno una de las dimensiones en las cuales las imbricaciones religión-política se expresan en este contexto.
Una perspectiva feminista sobre las prácticas médicas frente al aborto en mujeres con tuberculosis y cáncer: Buenos Aires en las primeras décadas del siglo XX
Authors: Rodriguez Maria Laura
Published: September 2021

Se recupera el contexto previo y posterior a la despenalización del aborto terapéutico en 1921, colocando en perspectiva las relaciones de saber y poder que constituyeron el cuerpo y el sujeto femenino. Si bien la legalización del aborto médico a partir de la reforma del Código Penal argentino fue una norma permisiva para su época, no habría ampliado las posibilidades de las mujeres a preservar su salud y vida sobre la gestación. Más aún,los profesionales médicos articularon concepciones y prácticas de clara tendencia conservadora, reconocibles tanto en una faz científica como político-ideológica.
“El trabajo de la mujer nunca termina”. Notas sobre el trabajo en las casas, el feminismo y el hacer historia
Authors: Pita Valeria Silvina
Published: September 2021

“El trabajo de la mujer nunca se termina”. Este fue el título de un artículo que Peggy Morton (1972), una feminista marxista canadiense, publicó en los inicios de la década de 1970. Su escrito formó parte de un momento de intensos debates e intervenciones feministas que buscaban comprender las raíces históricas, políticas y culturales de la opresión de las mujeres. En el centro de los esfuerzos teóricos y políticos de esa generación estuvo la reflexión sobre el trabajo que realizaban las mujeres en sus hogares, llamado trabajo invisible, doméstico, de reproducción o no remunerado. Ellas buscaron respuestas en el pasado, en la economía política, en la antropología, en la sociología y discutieron sobre la familia, el Estado, el capitalismo y sobre cómo el trabajo de las mujeres debía ser entendido, valorado y reformulado en un proyecto de transformación radical

Published: September 2021

In this study, daily averages of air quality parameters were measured in two stations (S1 and S2) of the Organized Industrial District in Samsun. The meteorological variables were measured at only one station (S1), such as temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, solar radiation, and ambient pressure in 2007, the daily promised limit for nitrogen dioxide has been especially exceeded at 206 times for 1 st station. However, exceeds of the limit value in 2006 for 1 st station was reduced by approximately 3.5 times. The daily nitrogen dioxide concentration did not exceed the daily limit of WHO as for 2 st station.  The results can be obtained showed that the dominant wind direction is considered dominant wind direction in the entire region. It has been determined that the second station measurement results are higher than the first station measurement. To determine all of possible the environmental effects, the measurements should be analyzed at a lot of multi-point.

The smallest administrative unit of the sixth national census-township (town) is selected as the basic unit, the population spatial distribution characteristics at the township (town) level in karst mountainous areas of northwest Guangxi are analyzed by using Lorenz curve and spatial correlation analysis method, and the influence intensity of natural factors on regional population spatial distribution is detected by using geographic detector method. The results show that: 1. the spatial distribution of population at the township (town) level has the characteristics of imbalance, showing generally significant positive correlation and certain aggregation; 2. there are significant differences in the impact of the spatial distribution of various natural factors on the population distribution. For the towns without karst distribution in the northwest and central south of the study area, the population density increases with the increase of factors conducive to human residence, but the average population density is only 79 people / km2. In the towns with karst distribution in the East and south, the spatial distribution of population density and natural factors is not a simple increase or decrease relationship, but fluctuates with the change of karst distribution area. 3. The factor detection results of the geographic detector show that the altitude has the greatest impact on the spatial distribution of population. The interactive detection results show that the impact intensity of any two natural factors after superposition and interaction presents nonlinear enhancement and two factor enhancement. It can be seen that the karst mountain area in northwest Guangxi is similar to other areas. Altitude is one of the main factors affecting the spatial distribution of population, but the river network density and unique geological landform of karst mountain area have a strong catalytic effect on the spatial distribution of population. The superposition and interaction with other factors can further strengthen the impact on population distribution.

Every year, hundreds of fires occur in the forests and rangelands across the world and damage thousands hectare of trees, shrubs, and plants which cause environmental and economical damages. This study aims to establish a real time forest fire alert system for better forest management and monitoring in Golestan Province. In this study, in order to prepare fire hazard maps, the required layers were produced based on fire data in Golestan forests and MODIS sensor data.At first, the natural fire data was divided into two categories of training and test samples randomly. Then, the vegetation moisture stresses and greenness were considered using six indexes of NDVI, MSI, WDVI, OSAVI, GVMI and NDWI in natural fire area of training category on the day before fire occurrence and a long period of 15 years, and the risk threshold of the parameters was considered in addition to selecting the best spectral index of vegetation. Finally, the model output was validated for fire occurrences of the test category. The results showed the possibility of prediction of fire site before occurrence of fire with more than 80 percent accuracy.
A Modified Range Migration Algorithm for FMCW SAR Signal Processing
Authors: Li Yake , O’Young Siu
Published: September 2021

The range migration algorithm (RMA) is an accurate imaging method for processing synthetic aperture radar (SAR) signals. However, this algorithm requires a big amount of computation when performing Stolt mapping. In high squint and wide beamwidth imaging, this operation also requires big memory size to store the result spectrum after Stolt mapping because the spectrum will be significantly expanded. A modified Stolt mapping that does not expand the signal spectrum while still maintains the processing accuracy is proposed in this paper to improve the efficiency of the RMA when processing frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) SAR signals. The modified RMA has roughly the same computational load and required the same memory size as the range Doppler algorithm (RDA) when processing FMCW SAR data. In extreme cases when the original spectrum is significantly modified by the Stolt mapping, the modified RMA achieves better focusing quality than the traditional RMA. Simulation and real data is used to verify the performance of the proposed RMA.
A review of the research on externality of urban network
Authors: Cheng Yuhong , Su Xiaomin
Published: September 2021

Urban network research has become the frontier academic field of international urban research and has gradually become a hot spot. At present, the related literature on “urban network” mostly focuses on conceptual discussion, dimension analysis, and network structure analysis. Research on the influence of network on regional economic development is relatively weak. Externality, as an essential attribute of urban network, is of great significance to the evolution of urban network and the development of cities and regions. This article starts from a comparison of agglomeration externalities with urban network externalities, focusing on the review and evaluation of the formation mechanism, utility, and measurement methods of urban network externalities.The synergy effect, integration effect, and borrowing size are considered important reasons for the formation of urban network externalities. The research on the effectiveness of urban network externalities focuses on two aspects. The first is the role of factor mobility in promoting knowledge diffusion and innovation, and the second is the impact of urban network on competitiveness and economic growth. Based on the existing literatures, the research on the measurement of urban network externalities mainly involves identification and estimation, including three common methods as correlation analysis, regression analysis, and spatial econometric analysis. The existing empirical researches on externalities are still mostly based on static analysis and lack dynamic consideration. The issues that need further attention in the future include theoretical understanding of urban network externalities, externality measurement methods, and empirical research.
