On Guard of Independence: Finnish Security Policy 1918—1922
Authors: Androsova Tatiana
Published: May 2024

The article is devoted to the problems of Finland's security policy in the first years of independence. The emphasis is placed on the primacy of the settlement of relations with the eastern neighbor. Official policy was characterized by inconsistency and a penchant for adventures. The first Soviet-Finnish War of 1918—1920 was part of the Russian Civil War and foreign military intervention. In connection with the Genoa Conference of 1922, the Finns were most concerned about the possible revision of the results of the Tartu Peace Treaty of 1920 and the possible rapprochement of Russia and Germany. Genoa allowed us to sum up the search for a reliable ally, which ended in nothing. The only alternative was the policy of non-alignment or “brilliant isolationism”, which lasted until the mid-1930s.
Secret Soviet-Congolese Talks on Providing Military Aid for the A. Gizenga’s Government, March 1961
Authors: Mazov Sergey
Published: May 2024

This article is the first publication of three documents obtained by the author in the Foreign Policy Archive of the Russian Federation. They contain important information on the Soviet role in the Congo crisis in the 1960-s and particularly its policy toward the pro-Lumumba government in Oriental Province (December 1960 — August 1961) headed by Antoine Gizenga. These are records of talks between a minister in the Gizenga’s government Pierre Mulele and high-ranking Soviet politicians, diplomats and military officers in Moscow on March 8 and 9, 1961. Mulele negotiated for Soviet arms supplies to the blockaded Orientale Province. The Soviets refused to provide military aid. The documents show that the top priority of Soviet policy in the Congo after Lumumba’s ouster and assassination was to de-escalate the crisis to prevent a direct military clash with the West.
“Proceedings of the Department of Russian Language and Literature” Edited by E. F. Karsky as a Reflection of the Publishing Policy of the DRLL in Soviet Times
Authors: Bondar Larisa
Published: May 2024

The Department of Russian Language and Literature (DRLL) of the Imperial Academy of Sciences acquired an independent printing organ early on, the initiator of the creation of which and the first editor was I. I. Sreznevsky. “Proceedings of the Imperial Academy of Sciences on the Department of Russian Language and Literature” were published under his editorship (first series) in 1852—1863 and determined the nature of this academic periodical publication — a publication reflecting the organizational and scientific life of the DRLL, responding to the priority areas of research of the department, publishing the works of members of the academy and researchers associated with it with their works, paying tribute to outstanding figures in the field of Russian language and literature. The second series of “Proceedings” began to be published after a break, from 1896 under the title “Proceedings of the Department of Russian Language and Literature of the Imperial Academy of Sciences / Russian Academy of Sciences / USSR Academy of Sciences” and continued until the reorganization of the department in 1927; then three more volumes were published under the title “Proceedings on the Russian language and literature of the USSR Academy of Sciences”. The last editor of the magazine who took over this assignment after the death of A. A. Shakhmatov at the end of 1920 was academician E. F. Karsky, who by that time had rich editorial experience as the publisher of the “Russian Philological Bulletin”. In a difficult time for slavistics in the first soviet years, E. F. Karsky managed to preserve not only the magazine itself, but also its fundamental appearance, maintaining the publishing traditions laid down by the first editor — I. I. Sreznevsky.
Schleswig-Holstein: Toward a History of German-Danish Confrontation
Authors: Dudarev Vasiliy
Published: May 2024

The author of this article examines the history of the German-Danish confrontation over the possession of the disputed territories of Schleswig and Holstein. Starting from the events of the Early Middle Ages, the author analyzes the issue of territorial supremacy of states over these lands and comes to the conclusion that Copenhagen repeatedly had the opportunity to incorporate these territories into the Danish monarchy, but each time the Danish political elites were unable to take such a chance. Copenhagen's inflexible, straightforward and non-alternative policy towards Schleswig and Holstein led to the growth of discontent among the local population and the strengthening of pro-German sentiments, which eventually led in the 19th century to the secession of these regions from Denmark and their incorporation into Germany.
Italy, Vatican, Russia. Scientific Path of Evgenia Sergeevna Tokareva. To the 70th Anniversary of Her Birth
Authors: Beglov Alexey
Published: May 2024

The article is devoted to the review of the scientific path of the leading Russian researcher of the history of Italy and the Catholic Church E. S. Tokareva and is timed to her jubilee. The whole scientific biography of the jubilee relates to the Institute of the World History of the Russian Academy of Sciences, where E. S. Tokareva has been working for 45 years. She began her research activity with the study of the relations between the Catholic Church and the Italian state in the period of the fascist dictatorship (1922—1943). Then she paid attention to the problems of interaction between religious communities in Europe and political regimes of various types, and since the late 1990s she has been working on the relationship between the Vatican as the Centre of the Catholic world and Soviet Russia. Much attention in the article is paid to the review of scientific and organizational activities of the jubilee, who since 2004 headed the Centre for the History of Religion and Church at the Institute of the World History of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and also coordinated scientific relations of the Institute of the World History with church (both domestic and foreign) academic structures, such as the Pontifical Committee of Historical Sciences, Gregorian University, and the Church Scientific Centre “Orthodox Encyclopedia”.

The Role of Scientific Institutions of the Orenburg Region in the Imperial Policy of Acculturation in the Second Half of the 19th — Early 20th Century
Authors: Legostaev Alexander
Published: May 2024

The article deals with the actual problem of the influence of scientific institutions of the Orenburg Region on the imperial policy of acculturation of nomadic and semi-nomadic peoples of the Russian Empire in the second half of the 19th — early 20th century. The author states that, despite the turn made by modern researchers from the so-called “colonial approach” to a more flexible concept of “acculturation”, a number of problems still remain little studied. In particular, we are talking about the role of local scientific and educational institutions in the implementation of the imperial policy of acculturation. In the border Orenburg Region in the second half of the 19th — early 20th century, three scientific institutions functioned: the Orenburg Provincial Statistical Committee, the Orenburg Department of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society and the Orenburg Scientific Archival Commission. Created largely on the initiative of the provincial authorities, these institutions were supposed to carry out not only a comprehensive study of the Orenburg Region, but also nomadic peoples living in Central Asia, on the one hand to answer the question of the possibility of spreading the influence of Russian civilization and culture, and on the other to develop specific mechanisms of acculturation policy. Based on the analysis of published and unpublished sources, the author identifies the following mechanisms of acculturation used by scientific institutions of the Orenburg Region: ethnographic and statistical research, museification and construction of the historical narrative of nomadic and semi-nomadic peoples. The author believes that Orenburg researchers, having collected a significant array of sources on the history, ethnography, culture and life of nomadic and semi-nomadic peoples, played an important role in preserving their ethnoidentity.
The Idea of Neo-Eurasianism in the Context of the Reintegration of the World Space: Historical and Philosophical Analysis
Authors: Fahrutdinov Rail
Published: May 2024

In the modern world, there is a cardinal “breaking” of the existing strategies for the interaction of various subjects, a violation of the old foundations. The meta-project called "globalization" is less and less relevant, it needs to be replaced by a more adequate, ideological, theoretical and practical basis, in the context of modern international relations. One of such projects recently is Eurasianism. However, there are factors that have acted as constraints on the ways of its development and distribution. Based on a comparative historical analysis, an attempt is made in the article to identify the potential of Eurasianism for development in new socio-cultural conditions. The authors indicate the conditions and factors under which this becomes possible. On the basis of a theoretical historical and philosophical analysis, it was concluded that there are several groups of factors that today hinder the development of neo-Eurasianism. It is concluded that the solution of the identified factors-dilemmas is an inevitable condition for the formation of Eurasianism as a new meta-project of postmodernity.
Trade and Economic Relations as an Instrument of Soviet Policy to Maintain Austria's Neutrality (1955—1964)
Authors: Sorokin Alexey
Published: May 2024

Trade and economic relations played an important role for the Soviet Union in the policy of maintaining Austrian neutrality. This was expressed, on the one hand, in the desire to prevent Austria from joining the structures of European integration, the European Coal and Steel Community and the European Economic Community. On the other hand, the Soviet Union made considerable efforts to develop bilateral trade and increase its own trade turnover with Austria. Such combined actions were supposed to have an impact on the preservation and transformation of Austrian neutrality in the manner necessary for the Soviet Union.

Published: May 2024

A recent issue with current society is the fall in male infertility. In 50% of instances, couple infertility is caused by the failure in spermatogenesis of the male partner. The male reproductive system is impacted by a variety of factors that lead to infertility, including genitourinary tract infections, endocrine abnormalities, immunological factors, lifestyle, stress, and drug-related damage. There are medications and therapies for male infertility, but they are not very effective, have harmful side effects, and are contraindicated. Plants are among the greatest natural cures for illnesses since they have very few side effects and include a variety of phytoconstituents from different chemical classes. Depending on their concentration, plant bioactive such as flavonoids, polyphenols, glycosides, alkaloids, and terpenoids might have a variable effect on sperm quality - either positively or adversely. These compounds have been suggested as organic reactive oxygen species scavengers for the treatment of male infertility. This review makes an effort to compile the available information and offer perspectives for upcoming investigations on how plants affect male gonads. This review summarizes the most recent research on the use of phytoconstituents to increase testosterone production, support healthy spermatogenesis, and prevent age-related degenerative illnesses linked to low levels of testosterone. This review includes information on about 45 herbal plants that have been published in several papers. The articles have several headings, including plant taxonomy, bioactive components, impacts on fertility, and medical applications. This review provides information on the applications of natural sources for male fertility enhancement and their potential mechanisms of action.

Authors: Sangma Hymie Cherik R. , Parameshwari S.
Published: May 2024

Black rice is utilised to make successful nutraceutical food products because of its high nutrient content. This study sought to determine the proximate compositions, functional compositions, and mineral compositions of processed black rice flour based on different processing methods (Raw, Soaked, and Roasted). The analytical procedures for the processed flours were designed using the standard methodology. The proximate analysis of processed black rice flour revealed a differentiation at (p<0.01) in every parameter except the moisture content of raw and soaked flour. The functional properties of processed black rice flour range from 1.0 to 1.17 g/g for water absorption capacity, 2.21 to 2.43 g/g for oil absorption, and 1.8 to 2.2% for foaming capacity, with raw, soaking, and roasted black rice flour viscosities being 986.0 cP, 997.0 cP, and 951.0 cP, respectively. Bulk density ranged from 1.77 to 1.82 g/cm3. Compared to other processed flours, raw black rice flour greatly showed increased oil absorption and foaming capacity, whereas soaked black rice flour dramatically increased viscosity and bulk density. Raw black rice flour exhibited the highest composition of minerals (phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium and iron) followed by soaked and roasted flours (p<0.01). The roasted black rice flour contained the highest levels of sodium. The investigation's findings demonstrated that raw black rice flour outperformed other processed black rice flour in terms of several proximate, functional, and mineral aspects, proving to be appropriate for the creation of a range of novel food products with positive health effects.

Published: May 2024

This study investigates the Chaetomorpha antennina (CA) seaweed-mediated biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The synthesis process of silver nanoparticles was monitored over time with the help of an Ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer and further characterisation studies were also performed. Differential Light Scattering (DLS) measurements revealed a mean particle size of approximately 103.5nm and a mean zeta potential value of -57.5mV for AgNPs. The spherical shape and size of the AgNPs were confirmed through High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HR-TEM) imaging, while Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDAX) analysis provided insights into the elemental composition. The concentration of AgNPs was estimated using Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES). The antibacterial potential of AgNPs was evaluated against both gram-positive (Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis) and gram-negative bacterial strains (Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Shigella dysentriae, Salmonella typhi, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Proteus mirabilis) using the agar well diffusion method. From the results, AgNPs exhibited significant antibacterial activity against B. subtilis and S. typhi among all the tested concentration levels (25, 50, 75 and 100μl).

The liability of online intermediaries under European Union law
Authors: Bulgakova Daria , Deruma Sintija
Published: May 2024

This research explores the complex and multifaceted issue of online intermediary liability. It illuminates the challenges arising from the absence of uniform regulations and the need for a collaborative system between online intermediaries and rightsholders. Specifically, the article scrutinizes the liability of online intermediaries under European Union law for violations of legal interests in online content. It strives to balance intermediary liability frameworks and fair competition, drawing attention to the relationship between specific provisions and the concurrent regime outlined in the e-Commerce Directive. Moreover, the article evaluates the consistency of liability frameworks for online intermediaries and their compliance with market functioning rules under the Trade Secrets and the Unfair Commercial Practices Directives. Furthermore, the article consults the consequences of the EU Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market, which holds online user-generated content platforms directly responsible for infringing content. And, unlike the original draft, the final version of this directive does not impose general monitoring obligations. Nevertheless, online intermediaries may need to implement filtering measures to avoid liability for unauthorized communication of copyright-protected works to the public. The writing also considers the impact of a prior legal framework, and the Digital Service Act established to address the issue of online intermediaries being held liable for any illegal information disseminated through their platforms. The research underscores the innovative features of the Digital Services Act, acknowledging the challenges of creating a practical legal framework striving to avoid conflicts with relevant laws. Therefore, this paper sheds light on the complex nature of online intermediary liability to the EU approach accordingly.
Legal interpretation of professional sport as a prerequisite for defining the theoretical foundations of its legal regulations
Authors: Demianiuk Stanislav
Published: May 2024

This article focuses on the interpretation of the terms “sport” and “professional sport”. It is emphasized that proper interpretation of such notions is important to promote clarity and precision in delineating the scope of professional sport and analyzing laws and regulations applicable to this sphere. The author's consolidation of the creative interpretations reveals that “professional sport” embodies a complex network of profit-based social relations, intricately tied to a publicly engaging performance executed by paid full-time athletes. This performance is governed by a set of rules, principles, and approaches established and controlled by specialized entities and institutions. The article concludes that this understanding can further serve as the groundwork for further research and analysis aiming to substantiate the underlying theoretical foundations of legal regulation in professional sport.

Use of Fibular Strut Graft for Reconstruction of Bone Defects
Authors:   Resident, Dept. of Oprthopedics (KMCH), Kumar Dr Nehal
Published: May 2024

Introduction • Bone recalcitrant nonunion and bone defects usually follow trauma, resection of a malignant tumor of the musculoskeletal system and osteomyelitis. • Instead of amputation, which was used in the past, limb salvage surgeries, including non-vascularized or vascularized autografts and allografts, bone transport and replacement with prostheses are performed. • Among the above methods, nonvascularized autogenous bone graft use is an important treatment strategy that has been performed for over a hundred years. • The fibula is a tubular bone that has a suitable length, geometrical shape and mechanical strength and is considered to be the best donor bone for large bone defects. • Free vascularized fibular grafts achieve higher union rate than non-vascularized fibular grafts in the reconstruction of long bone defects. • In this study, 6 patients with bone defects treated by non-vascularized fibular grafts .We intended to assess the clinical outcomes of graft union, functional outcome.
Comparative Study of Arthroscopic ACL Reconstruction with Peroneus Longus Autograft vs Hamstring Autograft
Authors:   1Resident, Department of Orthopedics (KMCH), Iqbal Dr Naef
Published: May 2024

Introduction The ACL is 1 of 4 main ligaments in the knee. Ligaments are rope-like structures that connect and hold the bones together to keep the knee stable. There are two components of the ACL, the anteromedial bundle (AMB) and the posterolateral bundle (PLB). The ACL has a microstructure of collagen bundles of multiple types (mostly type I) and a matrix made of a network of proteins, glycoproteins, elastic systems, and glycosaminoglycans. The ACL is innervated by posterior articular branches of the tibial nerve and is vascularized by branches of the middle genicular artery. Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction improves knee stability and function. Phatama et al. reported that there was no significant difference between the peroneus longus and hamstring tendon in terms of tensile strength. Peroneus longus tendon autografts are commonly used in some orthopedic procedures, including spring ligament reconstruction, deltoid ligament reconstruction and medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction. This is possible, due to the synergistic function of the peroneus longus and peroneus brevis. Some studies have even found that the peroneus brevis is a more effective evertor of the ankle, justifying the harvest of the peroneus longus tendon.
Cortico-basal Implants – The Ultimate Rescuer
Authors:   Associate Professor, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Implantology, The Oxford Dental College, Bangalore, India, Paul Dr Nandan Rudra
Published: May 2024

Immediately loaded, implant supported prosthesis is a novel advancement in oral implantology. Corticobasal implants has the versatility and durability with reduced treatment time. These implants work on the principle of osseo-fixation, however, osseointegration of the implants eventually happens over a time period. Cortico-basal implant supported prostheses came to the rescue, in our following cases, where a corticobasal implant was placed in between 2 fractured, well osseo-integrated conventional implants. Another case with large periapical cyst encroaching into the right maxillary sinus floor eneucleated with the involved teeth leading to an oro-antral communication, closed surgically. Cortico-basal implants were placed bypassing the right sinus floor to restore the function. In another case of failed multiple endodontically restored teeth and even endosseous implants, cortico-basal immediate loading prostheses were placed to successfully restore both the jaws. Cortico-basal implant supported prostheses is a graft less procedure with minimized chair side time, having optimum peri-implant soft tissue health, durable, with high success rate and are gradually emerging as a promising alternative in dental rehabilitation cases. Strategic implant placement of the cortico-basal implants has proved to be the ultimate rescuers in certain circumstances.

Published: May 2024

Abstract Background: According to World Malaria Report 2019, 3% of the global malaria cases are reported from India. Most cases of malaria in India are due to infestation by Plasmodium falciparum (65%) and Plasmodium vivax (35%). Only a few thousand cases of Plasmodium malariae has been reported from foothill areas in Orissa. Malaria due to Plasmodium ovale is not very common in India and till date only 9 cases have been reported. We are reporting a case of P. ovale malaria which was diagnosed and treated at Government Medical College, Thrissur, Kerala, in a patient who had returned from Uganda. Diagnosis was made with the specific morphological features of these parasites like oval shape of parasitised RBCs, fimbriation of RBCs and very prominent shuffners dots. Interpretation & Conclusion: This is the first case of Pl. ovale reported from central Kerala. This case of plasmodium ovale malaria could be an isolated imported case and there are no reported cases of local transmission so far following detection of this case. Keywords: Malaria, Plasmodium ovale, fimbriation.

Abstract The oldest sweetener jaggery made from sugarcane (Saccharum officinalis) juice. It is a yellowish concentrated form of sugarcane juice which contains nutritional and medicinal properties. The good quality jaggery is golden yellowish in color, texture is hard, sweet taste with low moisture content. About 70% jaggery is made in India by various processes, in month of November to April which is a suitable climate for preparation of jaggery. Today the jaggery is available in three forms solid jaggery, liquid jaggery and granular jaggery of which solid jaggery is broadly used. The liquid jaggery has commercial value and widely used in West Bengal and Maharashtra while the granular jaggery is also most popular in rural diet. Sugarcane jaggery contains highly nutritive value with medicinal values. The jaggery contains vitamins, proteins and minerals which are essential constituents of body. Today the ayurvedic industry prepares therapeutic formulation with jaggery for the treatment of various diseases and disorders. Keywords: Jaggery, Sugar cane, Antioxidant, Cough, Arthritis.
Study of Correlation of TMT Results with Angiogram Findings in Coronary Artery Disease Predictability in Patients with Angina Equivalents in DAE Hospital

Introduction Coronary artery disease is leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. The early detection and treatment of CAD is vital to prevent complications with non invasive tests like stress tests Exercise treadmill testing (ETT) is a wellvalidated, inexpensive test that can be used for the evaluation of patients with suspected coronary artery diseases (CAD). In addition to identifying patients who have exercise-induced ECG changes suggestive of ischemia, ETT also provides important data on exercise capacity, blood pressure, and heart rate response to exercise, symptoms, and the presence of exercise-induced arrhythmias. In a person at high risk for coronary heart disease (e.g., advanced age, multiple coronary risk factors), an abnormal TMT is very predictive of the presence of coronary heart disease (> 90% accurate). In the present study ,we studied the patients with changing risk factor profiles along with increasing incidence of CAD in younger population (even as young as 30-35 years), in females versus males by TMT and also the correlation of TMT results with angiogram findings in the predictability of CAD

El objetivo fue determinar la prevalencia de especies forestales e identificar hongos fitopatógenos en árboles de CDMX. El arbolado se delimitó en el Parque 18 de Marzo a partir de la distribución de parques y jardines con vegetación nativa e introducida. De 2018-2020 se muestrearon especies arbóreas y se recolectó tejido vegetal enfermo, la clasificación se realizó mediante el manual de especies botánicas del Valle de México y la identificación de hongos con claves taxonómicas. Se encontraron 25 familias botánicas con diferencias significativas (p≤ 0.05) en la diversidad de especies nativas (39.51 %) e introducidas (60.49 %). Hojas, brotes y ramas presentaron manchas foliares, clorosis, cancros, muerte de tejido vascular, cenicillas y royas. El grado de afectación con mayor incidencia en sanidad y calidad del arbolado fue Kirramyces epicoccoides, Aspergillus niger, Tubercularia sp. y A. alternata (2.34, 2.58, 5.74, 6.80 %, respectivamente). La incidencia acumulada de casos registrados en arbolado fue del 17.46 %. Ulmus parvifolia expresó mayor aumento epidemiológico. A. alternata tuvo impacto significativo en la dinámica poblacional. La incidencia de hongos fitopatógenos en especies arbóreas evidenció el estatus fitosanitario general que representa el arbolado de CDMX, lo que permitirá establecer medidas de manejo de enfermedades específicas.

Fourier Transform Mid-Infrared (FT-MIR) spectroscopy and multivariate statistical analysis were used to differentiate mezcales elaborated with four agave species. The FT-MIR data matrix was subjected to spectral transformations using first and second derivatives. The Partial Least Squares (PLS)-Discriminant Analysis (DA) with the matrix transformed by the first and second derivative allowed the differentiation of mezcales. While Orthogonal Partial Least Squares-Discriminant Analysis (OPLS-DA) was more robust when it was analyzed with second-derivative data. Pairwise comparisons by OPLS-DA allowed mezcales to be correctly discriminated, mainly between Agave karwinskii and Agave potatorum (Q2 = 0.654 and p – value < 0.01; R2Y = 0.985 and p-value < 0.01) and between Agave angustifolia and Agave karwinskii (Q2 = 0.563 and p-value = 0.01; R2Y = 0.989 and p-value = 0.01). FT-MIR spectrophotometry and the PLS-Regression (PLS-R) were applied to predict the ethanol percentage (% v/v) of mezcales collected in 2022 based on the PLS-R model previously run on samples evaluated in 2021.
