Control of fatigue failure mechanisms in multilayer coatings by varying the architectural parameters of an intermetallic interlayer
Authors: Lu Songsong , Cook Richard , Zhang Yi , Reed Philippa
Published: December 2021

A multilayer overlay coating system containing an intermediate
intermetallic layer (designated 2IML) is an architecture expected to
show good fatigue resistance. Experimental characterisation and
modelling simulations were carried out to classify the different crack
initiation mechanisms occurring during fatigue of this coating system
and to reveal how changes in the layer architecture lead to fatigue
improvement. Fatigue improvement is achieved by decreasing the IML-Top
layer thickness due to the increased surface crack initiation
resistance. However subsurface initiation mechanisms inhibit the
improvement (dominated by surface initiation mechanism) achieved by
locating the IML-Top layer closer to the top surface.

Published: December 2021

The approval of elexacaftor-tezacaftor-ivacaftor (ELX/TEZ/IVA) expanded
highly effective cystic fibrosis transmembrane receptor modulator
therapy to approximately 90% of persons age 12 and older with cystic
fibrosis. Clinical pharmacists and pharmacy technicians played a key
role in planning for ELX/TEZ/IVA initiation prior to FDA approval as
well as initiating therapy after approval. This study evaluates the
impact of pharmacy services on time to ELX/TEZ/IVA initiation. A
retrospective chart review evaluated patients qualifying for ELX/TEZ/IVA
at a single health system between October 21, 2019 and April 1, 2020.
Patients filling ELX/TEZ/IVA at an integrated health system specialty
pharmacy (HSSP) versus an outside specialty pharmacy (SP) started on
therapy an average of 10.8 days faster (10.8 days ± 14.0 vs 21.6 days ±
18.8 respectively; p=0.006). More patients filling at a HSSP received
ELX/TEZ/IVA within 14 days of the prescription being written compared to
outside SPs (82.0% vs 41.4% respectively; p=0.001). Pre-ELX/TEZ/IVA
initiation, patients were hospitalized for a CF related complication for
an average of 6.26 days (range 0-183) compared to 1.16 days (range 0-91)
post-ELX/TEZ/IVA initiation. Lastly, an estimated $134,810 was saved in
the 105 patients that were able to fill ELX/TEZ/IVA at a HSSP by
initiating drug an average of 10.8 days quicker than outside SPs. The
results of this study demonstrate the value of an integrated HSSP model.
Further advocacy for inclusion of integrated HSSPs by pharmacy benefit
managers is needed to optimize medication access, control costs, and
improve patient outcomes for patients receiving care within a health
system.

Published: December 2021

Leaf-form ferredoxin-NADP+ oxidoreductases (LFNRs) function in the last
step of the photosynthetic electron transport chain, exist as soluble
proteins in the chloroplast stroma, and are weakly associated with
thylakoids or tightly anchored to chloroplast membranes. Arabidopsis
thaliana has two LFNRs, and the chloroplast proteins AtTROL (THYLAKOID
RHODANESE-LIKE PROTEIN) and AtTIC62 (62-kDa SUBUNIT OF TRANSLOCON OF
INNER CHLOROPLAST MEMBRANE) participate in anchoring AtLFNRs to the
thylakoid membrane. By contrast, the membrane anchoring mechanism of
rice (Oryza sativa) LFNRs has not been elucidated. Here, we investigated
the membrane-anchoring mechanism of LFNRs and its physiological roles in
rice. We characterized the rice protein OsTROL1 based on its homology to
AtTROL and showed that OsTROL1 is also a thylakoid membrane anchor and
its loss led to a compensatory increase in OsTIC62. Moreover, OsLFNR1
attachment through a membrane anchor depends on OsLFNR2, unlike their
Arabidopsis counterparts. In addition, OsTIC62 was more highly expressed
in rice under dark than under light conditions, consistent with the
increased membrane binding of OsLFNR in the dark. Moreover, we observed
reciprocal stabilization between OsLFNRs and their membrane anchors.
Therefore, our study sheds light on the mechanisms anchoring LFNRs to
membranes in rice and highlights differences with Arabidopsis

Published: December 2021

Background: Some patients with a wheat allergy have been reported to
show clinical cross-reactivity to barley. However, it is not clear
whether the development of barley allergy in patients with a wheat
allergy is due to cross-antigenicity between wheat and barley. In our
study, we aimed to determine the clinical cross-reactivity and
immunological cross-antigenicity of wheat and barley. Methods: We
compared the results of barley oral food challenges (OFCs) before oral
immunotherapy (OIT) for wheat with those after OIT in nine patients with
a wheat allergy to estimate the clinical cross-reactivity of wheat and
barley. Moreover, we performed enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
inhibition and immunoblotting inhibition using serum from seven patients
allergic to wheat and barley. Results: Nine patients who had positive
barley-OFC results performed before OIT for wheat were all negative on
barley-OFC performed after OIT. In ELISA inhibition, preincubation of
serum from patients allergic to wheat and barley with a high barley
extract concentration inhibited binding of IgE to wheat extract by less
than 10%. On the other hand, wheat and barley extracts equally
inhibited binding to barley sIgE at high concentrations. In the
immunoblotting inhibition test, the spots of wheat were inhibited but
weakly by barley extracts, and most of the spots of barley were
inhibited even by low concentrations of the wheat and barley extract.
Conclusion: We showed that barley allergy associated with wheat allergy
is caused by cross-reactivity from wheat. The OIT for wheat was one of
the promising options for barley allergy.
Patterns of contraceptive use among Australian women of reproductive age with chronic disease: a prospective cohort study
Authors: Harris Melissa , Egan Nicholas , Forder Peta , Bateson Deborah , Loxton Deborah
Published: December 2021

Objective: Examine patterns of contraceptive use among reproductive age
women, with and without chronic disease, and investigate factors which
influence contraceptive use over time. Design: Population-based cohort
study Setting and population: Data from 8,030 women from the Australian
Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health. Main outcome measures:
Contraceptive patterns identified using latent transition analysis.
Methods: Multinomial mixed-effect models were used to evaluate the
relationship between contraceptive combinations and chronic disease.
Results: Women with chronic disease used contraception at similar rates
to women without chronic disease however contraceptive non-use increased
over the observation period (13.6% vs 12.7% in 2018 when aged 40-45
years). When specific contraceptive use patterns were examined over
time, differences were found for women with autoinflammatory diseases
only. Compared to women without chronic disease using the pill and
condoms, women with autoinflammatory disease had increased odds of using
condom and natural methods (OR=1.20, 95% CI=1.00, 1.44), and
sterilisation and other methods (OR=1.61, 95% CI=1.08, 2.39) or no
contraception (OR=1.32, 95% CI=1.04, 1.66), compared to women without
chronic disease using short-acting methods and condoms. Conclusion:
Potential gaps in the provision of appropriate contraceptive access and
care exist for women with chronic disease, particularly those diagnosed
with autoinflammatory conditions. Development of national guidelines as
well as a clear coordinated contraceptive strategy from adolescence
through to the mid reproductive years and perimenopause encouraging
regular contraceptive review during care management to increase support
for, and agency among, women with chronic disease is required.

Published: December 2021

Understanding the structure and connectivity of coral populations is
fundamental for developing marine conservation policies, especially in
patchy environments such as archipelagos. The Nansei Islands, extending
more than 1,000 km in southwestern Japan, are characterized by high
levels of biodiversity and endemism, supported by coral reefs, although
precise, detailed genetic attributes of corals are still largely
unknown. In this study, we conducted population genomic analyses based
on genome-wide, single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of Acropora
digitifera, a common species in the Nansei Islands, for which a
complete genome is available. With ~24x sequencing
coverage of entire genomes of 303 colonies collected at 21 locations, we
identified more than four million genome-wide SNPs. While population
structure analyses suggested weak genetic differentiation among sampled
locations, the most southwestern location (the west end of the Yaeyama
Islands) was genetically similar to the northernmost location (the
Tanegashima Islands), separated by >1,000 km. Although
examination of a migration network found a general tendency of northward
migration along the Kuroshio Current, a substantial amount of southward
migration was also detected, indicating important contributions of minor
ocean currents to coral larval dispersal. Moreover, heterogeneity in the
transition of effective population sizes among locations suggests
different histories for individual subpopulations. The unexpected
complexity of both past and present population dynamics in the Nansei
Islands implies that heterogeneity of ocean currents and local
environments, past and present, have influenced the population structure
of this species, highlighting the importance of local scale assessments
for effective coral restoration and management.
Unruhe im Kleinstaat - Der Schweizer Generalstreik von 1918 im internationalen Vergleich
Authors: Senn Martin A. , Straumann Tobias
Published: December 2021

Im November 1918 bricht in der Schweiz ein Generalstreik aus. Welche Gründe stehen dahinter – die Verschlechterung des Lebensstandards oder die politischen Spannungen am Ende des Ersten Weltkriegs? Die Autoren vergleichen die schweizerischen Verhältnisse mit denen in anderen neutralen europäischen Kleinstaaten und zeigen so, dass die politischen Gründe weitaus wichtiger waren als bisher in der Forschung angenommen. Vor allem die fehlende Integration der Sozialdemokratie war entscheidend. Während die Sozialdemokraten etwa in Dänemark, Schweden und den Niederlanden Einfluss nehmen konnten, blieben sie in der Schweiz weitgehend ausgeschlossen. Erst im Sommer 1918 versuchte der Bundesrat, sie in die Landesversorgung einzubeziehen, aber es war bereits zu spät, um die Radikalisierung des linken Zürcher Flügels aufzuhalten, die den Generalstreik auslöste. Untersucht wird schliesslich, wie die damals wütende Grippepandemie den Konflikt beeinflusste.

Authors: Lateef Zainab M. , Melconian Alice K. , Salman Ehab D.
Published: December 2021

Chlamydia pneumoniae is an intracellular gram-negative bacteria associated with lower and upper respiratory tract infections. Several studies, mostly achieved by serological assays, proposed a role for this bacteria in lung cancer risk. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of Chlamydia pneuomoniae in fresh lung tissues of a sample of Iraqi patients with lung tumors, utilizing polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. . Chlamydia pneumoniae DNA was detected in 86.67% of samples. Besides, DNA sequencing of 16S rRNA gene revealed that our isolate is closely related to Chlamydia pneumoniae TW183 strain. It is concluded that Chlamydia pneumoniae  is found in fresh lung tissues of patients, suggesting past infection, reinfection, or persistent form, which may play a role in the development or exacerbation of lung tumors. Our results confirm the high prevalence of this type of bacteria in Iraqi patients.

Published: December 2021

University Extension at the Faculty of Dentistry of the National University of Cordoba has gone through a long process of conceptions, tensions and evolutionary changes with the aim of gradually accompanying the current extension paradigms. Various conceptions have been adapted during this process, giving rise to several significant changes in an attempt to give hierarchy to this pillar of the public university in line with the genuine needs of the community. However, there are still some challenges for the future, for which the participation of its teachers and students will be very important, not only in their permanent education and training, but also in the substantiation of renewed interdisciplinary projects, more and more committed to the social collective.

Published: December 2021

Objective:Acinic cell carcinoma (CCA) is the third malignant epithelial tumor of the salivary glands in adults; low-grade tumor of malignancy, composed of neoplastic cells with serous acinar differentiation. The objective of this work was to analyze 12 cases of CCA according to their location, clinical characteristics, histological and immunohistochemical pattern and cell types, following the latest classification of the World Health Organization. Methods: The study included 12 cases of CCA from the files of salivary tumor biopsies of our work team, corresponding to the period 1997-2020. A numerical code was used to identify the samples, preserving the identity of the patients. Histological sections of the paraffin-embedded biopsies were evaluated with H/E, PAS and Toluidine blue and immunostained with the monoclonal antibodies pancytokeratin AE1 / AE3, Ki67, MUC-1 and mammaglobin. Results: The most frequent histologic pattern was the solid type as a single pattern or integrated with other patterns of lesser development, with almost exclusive location in the parotid gland and more frequent in women. Cells like normal acinar serocytes predominated in the solid growth pattern. The most frequent cell type in the microcystic patternwas the nonspecific glandular cell together with a lower proportion of acinar and intercalated duct-like cells. The papillary-cystic pattern was lined by nonspecific glandular cells. No clear cells found. With Ki67 a low cell proliferation was demonstrated in all the cases studied. Cell labeling for MUC-1 was grade 1 positive (less than 10% immunoreactive cells) and negative for mammaglobin.Conclusions: Patient follow-up is a priority because CCA tends to recur and metastasize and its behavior can become aggressive. We must deepen the study of its proliferative capacity as a treatment and prognosis tool, especially with immunohistochemistry and standardized molecular biology methods.

Introduction: The teaching of pharmacology has traditionally been characterized by the transmission of information where pedagogical strategies have focused on the teacher, privileging theoretical knowledge, master classes and memory tests. It isessentialto introduce new elements to increase the student's active participation in the construction of knowledge and in the evaluation of the achievement of their competences; the development of creativity and teamwork. This methodology seeks to break the notionof traditional teaching, change the idea of an evaluation by the note to an evaluation with a motivation of its own (of the student), to internalize the knowledge and make it part of its structure of thought. Objective: Develop a teaching and evaluation strategy that allows students to actively participate. Materials and methods: 172 students participated in the subject of Pharmacology and Therapeutics "B", between March and September 2017. Four individual and complementary activities were developed related to the prescription of drugs, for the evaluation of the process and performance of the students Standardized rubrics were used, a perception survey was applied to the students about the usefulness of the strategy in theirtraining. Results: The results show a good performance of the students in the prescription activities of medications, a significant improvement in the performance when comparing the results. The students consider that the strategy is useful for the development of their professional competences, it allows them to have an active role in the learning process and the evaluation methodology allows them to recognize the elements that they must reinforce in order to reach an optimal development of their competence

The research involved a sample of 150 patients with a diagnosis of cancer, with the aim of assessing food habits and lifestyle. Smoking, physical activity and diet have been observed so as to seek for possible correlation with cancer. Patients involved had different types of cancer: data regarding correlation between diet and gastrointestinal cancer have been specifically assessed. Surprisingly, most patients, who declared to follow Mediterranean diet, instead, by actually analysing type and quantities of specific food , followed a different pattern. Therefore, in a population of South of Italy, one of the places which gave birth to Mediterranean diet, the protective effect of this kind of diet against many diseases is now at risk. Furthermore, a statistically significant correlation between nutritional pattern and gastrointestinal cancer has been found.

Published: December 2021

This article examines the formation of institutional characteristics of pension investment of the Russian society. The goal lies in substantiation of feasibility of application of the institutional approach to relatively new elements of the Russian pension system – pension investment and formation of pension capital. The author observes the current social inquiry for the development of institutional practices of pension investment. The process of establishment of the institution of pension investment entail the manifestation of such aspects as: sources of the formation of institutions, sustainability, absence of violent fluctuations, share of the institutional norms by all its members, etc. Using the method of standardized mass survey within the framework of quantitative paradigm, the author carried out the applied sociological research, which involved the working-age population. The novelty of this work lies in the attempt of institutional determination of the new social institutions: pension investment and pension capital; classification of the “pension issue” into a separate field of sociological knowledge. The acquired results indicate the emergence of social groups that are ready for sustainable pension investment practices, as well as certain population groups that demonstrate nihilism in this regard. It is stated that the declared institutional approach is relevant to sphere of pension investment; however, the formation of sustainable social entities requires the legitimate conditions for including more extensive groups into the processes of formation of pension capital. The presented materials can be valuable for the dealing with similar social issues, used in lectures on the topic, as well as by government representatives of all levels.
State control over the distribution of information harmful to children: analysis of case law
Authors: Polyanina Alla Kerimovna
Published: December 2021

This article analyzes the representation of state regulatory bodies on distribution of harmful information and measures aimed at minimization harm caused by information to children's health and development. Examination is conducted on the arguments of the law enforcement officers and the court contained in the texts of court ruling, viewed as implementation of formal social control over distribution of information and expression of formal position with regards to social conflict. Attention is given to the analysis of positions of the state authorities on the effects of risk, understanding of social danger of these effects, and governmental decision on the essence of a social conflict. The groups of harmful content and the dynamics of their identification are determined. The author reveals and classifies the motives of the distributor of harmful information and the motives of information consumers. A significant excess of the actual audience of consumers of harmful information over the audience designated by the distributor (i.e. addressee) is observed. The conclusion is made on the position of the actors of formal social control in relation to risks, their identification, mitigation, prevention and forecasting, validity of the arguments of the law enforcement and the court. Failure to establish responsibility of the actor is one of the key difficulties. The author outlines the prospects for improving the mechanism of ensuring information security of the children, as well as underlines the need for revising the principles and approaches towards interpretation of harm.

Published: December 2021

Energy security is currently one of the key components of national security of any country. The object of this research is the basic documents of strategic planning of the European Union in sphere of ensuring energy security (Roadmap of the European Union “Final 10-year ETIP SNET R&I roadmap covering 2017-26”) in the context of comparative analysis of the existing approaches towards ensuring energy security of the Russian Federation (Energy Security Doctrine of the Russian Federation). The analysis is conducted from the perspective of comparison of two documents of strategic planning for the purpose of identification of threats and risks to the economic security. The subject of this research is the threats and risks to energy security of the countries, and thus, their national security. The scientific novelty consists in examination of the documents of strategic planning in the sphere of energy security using methodology of comparative analysis developed by the authors, which is based on the dynamic semantic network. In accordance with the aforementioned methodology, analysis is carried out on the structure of documents that encompasses the processes, the manifestation of which can be observed through objective and subjective methods of monitoring. The authors developed the expert analytical apparatus of comparative analysis, as well as the methodology for assessing the objectivity of comparative analysis. The developed methodology of comparative analysis is tested on the example of strategic planning documents in the sphere of energy security of the European Union and the Russian Federation. The conclusion is made on the need for further research of the methodological foundations of comparative analysis in order to detect the risks and threats to the economic security of the Russian Federation.
Peculiarities of interaction of an investigator and operations officers during the detection and investigation of fraud-related crimes connected with subsidy payments in the sphere of small and medium entrepreneurship
Authors: Bodunova Kseniya Gennad'evna
Published: December 2021

Sustainable socio-economic development of Russia is a strategic guideline for the creation of favorable conditions for entrepreneurship in the country. Article 6 of the Federal Law “On the development of small and medium entrepreneurship in Russia” of July 24, 2007 No 209 states that the governmental policy in this sphere is a part of the state socio-economic policy, and is a composition of political, economic, social, informational, legal, organizational, educational and other steps taken by Russia’s public and local authorities.  At the same time, in the last few years, the cases of illegal acquisition of budgetary funds by business entities in the form of federal, regional and local subsidies have been registered more and more often. Law enforcement agencies failed to effectively detect and investigate these crimes, which can be explained by the lack of methodological support of their work and modern tools based on information technologies. Intelligence support plays a significant role in the investigation of fraud connected with subsidies in the sphere of small and medium entrepreneurship. It is explained not only by the large amount of documentation and the spatiotemporal dissemination of a crime scene, but also by the fact that in most cases, the illegal acquisition of subsidies by small and medium business entities is pretends to be a legal economic activity.  The research subject is the laws of organizational and methodological support of the work of law-enforcement agencies aimed at the detection and investigation of fraud-related crimes. The scientific novelty of the research is determined by the solution of its tasks, and consists in the substantiation of conclusions about the natural interrelation between the organization and the method of investigation of fraud-related crimes connected with the acquisition of subsidies in the sphere of small and medium business, and the development of ways of their improvement.   
“The Case of Professors” in 1821 at St. Petersburg University in the history of Russian statistics
Authors: Skrydlov Andrei
Published: December 2021

This publication is written in commemoration of the 200th anniversary of the “Case of Professors" of St. Petersburg University, which heralds the important stage in the formation of conservative policy of the Russian government in the sphere of science and education. The object of this research is the impact of the events of 1821 upon the development of government science in Russia – the early direction of statistical science. The author analyzes the prerequisites for the emergence of political-economic direction of government science in Russia, draws parallel with the traditional German school, outlines the key peculiarities – attempt to determine the advantages and disadvantages of the phenomena under review, establish causal relationships between them, appose government science with political economics. In the course of the “Case of Professors”, two of the most prominent representatives of this scientific direction – C. T. Hermann and K .I. Arsenyev were exposed to harsh criticism by the officials of the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Public Education. Leaning on the published and archival sources, the article explores the arguments of M. L. Magnitsky, I. S. Laval, A. N. Golitsyn on the topic of teaching statistics at the university. The conclusion is made that the major complaint of the officials to the teaching techniques and scientific works of Hermann and Arsenyev was their extensive interpretation of the subject of statistical science. The opponents of the scholars sought to bring the government science back to the traditional for the XVIII century descriptive school, as well as limit it solely to the empirical methods. It is indicated that the prohibition against using the works of Hermann and Arsenyev in the educational institutions entail significant consequences and halted the development of political-economic direction of government science for over two decades. The university statistical education returned to this tradition only after 1835, with the adoption of the new university charter.
School in the Soviet ethnographic research over the period from 1937 to 1953 based on the journal “Soviet Ethnography”
Authors: Nadyrshin Timur Maratovich
Published: December 2021

Examination of the role of school in Soviet ethnography remains a blank spot in the anthropology of education. However, despite the absence of this subdiscipline, the author indicates the interest of Soviet ethnographers in reorganization of educational sphere. Use of the method of content analysis of the journal “Soviet Ethnography” reveals the role of general education on the map of ethnographic science of the era of totalitarianism (1937– 1953). This stage is characterized by one of the major intrusions into science, which is clearly reflected in publications of humanities journals. The author highlights the common semantic structures – patterns and repetitive statements typical for most articles. These statement lead to the following conclusions: criticism of the prerevolutionary system of education, exclusion of religion from the system of education, and exposure of the problems in the system of education of foreign capitalist countries. At the same time, there was the task to emphasize the successes of Soviet education: elimination of illiteracy; growing number of schools, students, and teachers; and the role of schools in cultural development the Soviet Union. In face of ideological restriction, many ethnographers have identified separate issues and offered their recommendations for the Soviet system of education. These unique observations are the contribution made by the Soviet ethnographic science to the cultural interpretation of the school.

The subject of this research is the correlation between the indicator of life satisfaction as a cognitive-affective construct of human psyche, certain scales that reflect the respondents’ perception of a temporal project of life (such parameters  as orientation towards the future, fatalistic present, hedonistic present), which reflect the cognitive component of life assessment and various parameters of the life path of a person, such as self-esteem of activity throughout life, career success, material well-being, indicators of overall activity, optimism, parental status and/or presence of dependents, presence of intellectual or sport hobbies, strategies of cooperation/individualism, determined in the course of the game “Dilemma of the Prisoner”, scales of depressive symptoms and severity of chronic fatigue syndrome, and ratio of the biological age index to appropriate biological age as an indicator of the difference between normal and individual level of aging in the age group, and indicator of psychological age and personal maturity that reflect the assessment of self-realization and the adequacy of mental state to physical state respectively. The author’s special contribution to this research consists in the establishment of correlation between the indicators of life satisfaction and cognitive assessment of the parameters of life path, such as overall activity throughout life, optimism, strategies of cooperation and partnership with the surrounding people, orientation towards the future relative to time-related project of life, and establishment of inverse connection with orientation towards the present regardless of the emotional coloring of such perception. The biological parameters of individual aging among persons of pre-retirement age play lesser role than the assessment of the reflected on current life situation. However, the author determines significant negative associations between the manifestation of depressive symptoms and the severity of chronic fatigue syndrome and life satisfaction.
Mission of the military chaplain on the battlefield and the Orthodox ethics during the World War I (on the example of Orenburg and Siberian Cossack troops
Authors: Latyshev Dmitrii Mikhailovich
Published: December 2021

Military clergy was one of the core translators of military norms and regulations in the Russian army during the early XX century. The goal of this article is to examine the concepts of Orthodox culture within the ethics of war of the military chaplains. Leaning on the memoirs of A. Turundaevsky and archival documents of the Orenburg and Siberian Cossack troops, the article reconstructs the mission of the military chaplain on the battlefield, analyzes the structure of concepts of Orthodox ethics therein. The study of the structure of the elements of Orthodox ethics in the mission of the military chaplain reveals the key ethical principles that are fundamental to military conflicts, when one of the parties grounds its military regulations on the Orthodox culture. It is determined that in the conditions of new requirements established for military clergy during the World War I (1914–1918), there were instances that the norms of the Orthodox ethics contradicted the mission of the chaplain on the battlefield. The acquired results reveal that the underlying principle of the mission of military chaplain, as the representative of the “militant church”, on the battlefield was “love for one's neighbor”. The understanding of Russia as the center of Orthodox culture and the perception of soldiers as “warriors of the church” prompted the clergy to implement the concept of “meekness” in their actions, as well as the concepts of “recumbence”, “Divine Providence”, etc. for comprehension of their actions.
Local-civilizational research and social constructivism: points of intersection
Authors: Ilinskaya Svetlana
Published: December 2021

This article represents a polemical response to the critical of poly-civilizational research article by D. E. Letnyakov, who offers to shift away from the essentialist attitudes in the context of studying the phenomenon of civilization, and rather focus on the mechanisms of formation of civilizational identity. In contradiction of the aforementioned point of view, the author of this article argues the inferiority and one-sidedness of the attempts to limit the multi-paradigm vector of research to a single methodological approach, substantiates the philosophical grounds of such multi-paradigmality, and on the example of gender studies, indicates the discrepancies that emerge due to neglecting the essential approach by the researchers. The subject of this article is the methodology of civilizational research. The author does not intent to refute the provisions of social constructivism completely, since its adherents made a considerable contribution to social knowledge, but rather demonstrate that in a number of multi-paradigm vectors (to which civilizational research belong to), this methodological approach cannot be limited to just one. It is substantiated that for philosophy, the criticism of civilizational theory from the perspective of social constructivism, is the phenomenon similar to refutation of Lobachevsky’s geometry from the standpoint of Euclidean geometry, or the laws of quantum mechanics based on the Newton laws. These are different worlds, different set of coordinates, with fundamentally different laws effective therein.
Philosophical-political comprehension of Eurasia in the context of the Russian project of civilizational development
Authors: Grachev Bogdan
Published: December 2021

This article attempts to “objectify” and conceptualize the concept of “Eurasia”, determine its ontological characteristics as the sociopolitical space of development of the Russian civilizational project, as well as delineates the contours of this space within the framework of a project-constructive methodological orientation. The author refers to the history of formation of holistic representations on Eurasia within the scientific thought, giving special attention to the contribution of geopoliticians, and emphasizing the implementation of theoretical provisions in real politics. The empirical basis relies on the two megaprojects that are implemented in practice: the Silk Road Economic Belt initiated by China and the Eurasian Economic Union (which includes Armenia, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, and Russia), as well as the “Greater Eurasia” as a potential way of their interlink and development of the space for cross-civilizational dialogue on the continent. The main conclusions are as follows: 1) Eurasia is determined both as the goal of the Russian project of civilizational development and as the space it can be realized within. At the same time, the space for the development of Russia-Eurasia is described as the natural environment of the Russian civilizational project, the space of the “primary circle”. Special role is played by the creation and development of the Eurasian Economic Union, which unites the countries that have faced the escalation of nationalist sentiment after the dissolution of the Soviet Union; 2) The “Greater Eurasia” is designated as the “secondary circle” of the Russian civilizational project, a space for continental cooperation, determines by new political reality.  3) Certain zones of civilizational confrontation and contradictions on the continent have been identified. The author believes that the need for conceptualization of the concept at hand lies in the significant sociopolitical formative potential.
Constructivist approach and relevant alternatives within the modern theory of ideology: problems and solutions
Authors: Myurberg Irina
Published: December 2021

The subject of this research is the history of the development of the concept of “ideology” in the European sociopolitical theory. Emphasis is placed on constructivism as the general concept that incorporates a range of methodological approaches towards tracing the evolution of the phenomenon of ideology in the XX –XXI centuries. The study of the latest methodologies is part of the project of returning the concept of ideology to the modern sociopolitical discourse, which complies with the current standards of political knowledge. The used methodological approaches employ cultural-historical, comparative, critical-analytical and narrative methods. Special attention is given to narrative approach as an object of study and method used in the course of research. The conclusion is made on the dependence of certain aspects of the concept of ideology depend on the cultural-historical circumstances of its origin (i.e. the specificity of the Western European civilizational context). Substantiation is given to the special role of the principle of individualism as a fundamental characteristic, which distinguishes between the Western European ideology and its Russian alternative. The author determines the theoretical source that has the capacity for the development of relevant (corresponding to the theoretical inquiry of the XXI century) Russian project of ideology. The aforementioned statements define the scientific contribution and novelty of this work.
