Published: December 2023

Indonesia adalah negara yang mempunyai keberagaman dalam berbagai aspek, salah satunya yaitu aliran kepercayaan. Dimana terdapat enam aliran kepercayaan yang banyak dianut oleh masyarakat Indonesia. Dari semua aliran kepercayaan dianut dan diakui di Indonesia itu, masih terdapat kemajemukan setiap aliran tersebut. Tingginya tingkat kepluralitasan dalam hal aliran keagamaan, kerap kali menimbulkan konflik horizontal antar umat beragama yang memberikan kerugian bagi kedua bela pihak dan juga mencederai integrasi yang dibangun oleh masyarakat Indonesia. Moderasi Beragama muncul sebagai alat dalam menjaga kesatuan masyarakat Indoensia dengan menanamkan sikap beragama yang moderat, agar konflik yang terkait dengan agama tidak terulang lagi di negeri ini. Oleh karena itu, penanaman nilai moderasi perlu dilakukan secara holistik bagi seluruh masyarakat Indonesia. Dalam hal ini, sekolah mejadi salah satu media yang efisien untuk digunakan dalam menyebarkan prinsip morasi beragama kepada peserta didik, dengan memanfaatkan mata pelajaran pendidikan agama khususnya agama Kristen dalam menanamkan prinsip moderat dalam beragama, agar mereka dapat menghargai dan menghormati realitas kepluralitasan dalam hal aliran kepercayan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menujukan pentingnya penanaman milai moderasi beragama melalui pendidikan agama Kristen, untuk membentuk peserta didik menjadi generasi muda Kristen yang mempunyai sikap moderat dalam menyikapi kemajemukan multi-agama interaksi sosial kemasyarakatan.

Objetivo: Analisar as características da Endocardite Infeccciosa (EI). Revisão bibliográfica: A EI é uma infecção do endotélio do coração, com incidência anual de 3 a 10/100.000 habitantes com mortalidade de até 30% em 30 dias. Atualmente, Staphylococcus aureus, estreptococos do grupo viridans, outros estreptococos e enterococos representam os principais agentes etiológicos da doença. A apresentação clínica da EI é altamente variável sendo que até 90% dos pacientes apresentam febre, sudorese noturna, fadiga e perda de peso e apetite, com aproximadamente 25% apresentando evidências de fenômenos embólicos na apresentação. Considerações finais: A EI é uma das doenças infecciosas mais graves. O diagnóstico é baseado principalmente na detecção de bacteremia e em imagens cardíacas, geralmente incluindo várias modalidades de imagem, mas sendo a ecocardiografia a principal. O manejo da condição é feito através de terapia antibiótica que deve ser iniciada após pelo menos dois (preferencialmente três) conjuntos de hemoculturas terem sido obtidos de punções venosas separadas e espaçadas idealmente por 30 a 60 minutos e com cobertura para os patógenos mais comuns (estafilococos, estreptococos e enterococos). Além disso, deve-se estar atento para os casos em que a cirurgia é indicada.
Rudimentary form of syntax present in chimpanzees
Authors: Leroux Maël
Published: December 2023

Human language is a distinguishing feature of us from other animals. However, our recent work showed chimpanzees, similar to us, can combine vocalisations into meaningful, larger structures to create new meaning. These results suggest the building blocks of language may not belong uniquely to humans but may be evolutionary more ancient and inherited from our common ancestor with chimpanzees.
Russian Philosophical and Cultural Studies at the University: Concept and Model of Institutionalization
Authors: Zhukova Olga A.
Published: December 2023

The article presents the author’s concept of institutionalization of Russian philosophical and cultural research at the National Research University Higher School of Economics (HSE). The peculiarities of its creation and implementation are set by the direction of development, which characterizes the process of transformation of Russian universities into world-class project-research universities. The Institute is an innovative interdisciplinary project, which comprehensively carries out both fundamental research, expert-analytical, project-educational work, and educational activities in the broad subject area of Russian humanities research. This article introduces the scientific community to the main goals and objectives of a large institutional project in the field of research on the intellectual history of Russia, modern Russian studies, philosophy of Russian history and culture, philosophy of Russian literature and art, as well as the forms and directions of work and thematic content of the planned research center. In the medium term, the projected Institute is positioned as a scientific and expert-analytical platform, forming actual knowledge about Russia and influencing the intellectual process in Russia and abroad. It acts as a significant link in the scientific and educational ecosystem of a modern university, an example of which is the National Research University Higher School of Economics. The planned theoretical result, on the one hand, is the development of new methodological approaches in the study of spiritual, cultural and intellectual heritage of Russia, on the other hand – the enrichment of the tools of philosophy and cultural studies in their interaction with the methodology of other humanities. Justifying the practical significance of the project, the author believes that such an organizational model allows combining the academic level of research in the cultural history of Russia and the history of thought with the analysis and expertise of current socio-cultural processes and value transformations taking place in Russian society.
Paintings of the Refectory of the Annunciation Church in the Village of Knyazhevo in the Artistic Culture of the Bezhetsky Region
Authors: Pavlova Anna L.
Published: December 2023

In recent decades there has been a reassessment of 19th century church culture. Consideration of the outstanding monuments of mural painting allows us to draw a conclusion about the outstanding character of the art of the Russian province. The relevance of the study of murals is connected with the total destruction of rural churches. The painting of the refectory in 1893 in the Annunciation Church in the village of Knyazhevo organically fits into the artistic context and continues the tradition of church monumental painting of the Bezhetsky region. On the example of the main cycle of subjects based on “The Beatitudes” the engravings-samples from the Bible by Christoph Weigel (1695) and compositions from various churches of Bezhetsky district are considered. Although engravings played a significant role, they did not hinder the independent development of art. The article analyses various variants of reproduction of graphic prototypes in mural painting. An assumption is made that local masters had a hitherto unknown prototype based on Weigel’s engravings. Archaic prototypes were organically combined with more modern ones, both Russian and foreign. Eclecticism stylistics, professionalism of masters and a powerful local school allowed combining different directions into a single whole. Paintings were created in accordance with the forms of architecture. Ornamental design helped to organically arrange compositions on walls and vaults. The artistic culture of the Bezhetsky region proved to be so stable that it allowed to recycle recognisable prototypes and demonstrate a wide range of pictorial means for many decades until the end of the 19th century. For the first time, the author’s diagram of the mural arrangement of the refectory is published.
“Formula of Water” in the Iconography of Landscape Painting in Medieval China
Authors: Li Yue , Alekseeva Galina V.
Published: December 2023

The theme of the sea in traditional Chinese painting is associated with the last decades of the development of the country’s artistic life, in particular with painting on the theme of the sea and ocean. The aim of the study is to determine the peculiarities of the embodiment of the image of the sea element in Chinese painting of the Middle Ages as a basis for the development of the marina genre in modern art. In the works of masters of the Song (960—1279), Yuan (1271—1368) and Ming (1368—1644) dynasties one can notice the repetition and interpretation of those “formulas” used by painters in medieval China. Such “formulas” are the established ways of depicting water surfaces with pen and ink, formed during the Song dynasty and developed in the Yuan and Ming eras until the seventeenth century. Particular emphasis is placed on the systematization of schemes for the embodiment of the sea in different states in Ma Yuan’s work, their sources, and how they were embodied and transformed by painters in subsequent periods. The use of schemes for depicting water made it possible to achieve the effect of dynamism. This was conditioned, among other things, by the specificity of artistic tools and materials used by masters, who had in their arsenal scarce artistic means. The artists endeavoured to invent and form their own method of execution for each theme. The article has theoretical and practical value. It supplements the history of the development of landscape painting in ancient China by analysing the origin and formation of the previously little-studied motif, which in the space of Chinese painting of the 20th — 21st centuries has taken a strong position.
Soil Biochemical Indicators to Monitor the Impact of Microplastics on Soil Functionality in Terrestrial Ecosystems
Authors: Marinari Sara , Moscatelli M. Cristina , Massaccesi Luisa
Published: November 2023

The present paper introduces soil as a complex system, so a multidisciplinary approach is needed to study not only the composition, abundance, and transport of microplastics (MPs) in terrestrial ecosystems but also soil properties and processes involved in their degradation and/or interaction with soil polyphasic matrix. Despite many researchers focusing their studies on the impact of MPs on the terrestrial ecosystem over the past years, little has been done about the use of biochemical indicators to study their effect on soil functionality.

Published: November 2023

Accurate prediction of Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion, and Toxicity(ADMET) properties is crucial for drug discovery and development. However, existing computational models for ADMET predictions often lack generalizability and robustness. In this paper, we deployed a Combinatorial Fusion Analysis (CFA) to enhance the performance of ADMET models. Utilizing ADMET benchmark datasets on Therapeutics Data Commons (TDC), we conduct a comprehensive evaluation against traditional and state-of-the-art models. CFA models show superior performance compared to most of the individual models. The CFA model architecture and the performance of CFA models on TDC and other internal datasets are discussed. This significant enhancement suggests that CFA is a viable tool for improving ADMET model performance, promising faster and more cost-effective drug development pipelines. The code and models trained are available on GitHub at https://github.com/FLIDM/CFA4DD.

Published: December 2023

Deuterated and tritiated analogs of drugs are valuable compounds for pharmaceutical and medicinal chemistry. In this work, we present a novel hydrogen isotope exchange reaction of drugs using non-directed homogeneous Pd catalysis. Aromatic C–H activation is achieved by a commercially available pyridine ligand. Using the most convenient and cheapest deuterium source, D2O, as the only solvent 34 pharmaceuticals were labelled with clean reaction profiles and high deuterium uptakes. Additionally, we describe the first application of non-directed homogeneous Pd catalysis for H/T exchange on an aromatic drug scaffold by using T2O as isotopic source, demonstrating the applicability to the synthesis of radiotracers.

Published: November 2023

This study describes the function, optimization, and demonstration of a new class of passive, low-cost microfluidic flow meters based on birefringent chitosan membranes analyzed by polarized microscopy. We subjected an optimally synthesized membrane to dynamic flow conditions while monitoring the real-time response of its optical properties. We obtained figures of merit, including the linear response operating range (0 to 65 uL min-1), minimum response time (250 ms), sensitivity (2.03 % ×10-3 uL-1 min), and minimum sensor longevity (1 week). In addition, possible sources of interference were identified. Finally, we demonstrate the membrane as a low-cost flow rate measurement device for the close loop control of a commercial pressure-driven pump. Preliminary experiments using a basic PID controller with the membrane-based flow rate measurement device showed that stable control could be achieved and the system could reach steady-state behavior in less than 15 seconds.
A High-Throughput Workflow for Mass Spectrometry Analysis of Nucleic Acids by Nanoflow Desalting
Authors: Lanzillotti Michael , Brodbelt Jennifer
Published: November 2023

Broad interest in nucleic acids – both their therapeutic capabilities and understanding the nuances of their structure and resulting function – has increased in recent years. Post-transcriptional modifications in particular have become an important analysis target, as these covalent modifications to the sugars, nitrogenous bases, and phosphate backbone impart differential functionality to synthetic and biological nucleic acids. Characterizing these post-transcriptional modifications can be difficult with traditional sequencing workflows; however, advancements in top-down mass spectrometry address these challenges. On-line desalting platforms have enabled facile sample clean-up and reliable ionization of increasingly large (100 nt) oligonucleotides, and application of existing tandem mass spectrometry techniques have yielded information-rich spectra which can be used to interrogate primary sequences. To extend the capabilities of top-down MS and in its analysis of nucleic acids, we have developed a nanoflow desalting platform for high-throughput and low sample-use desalting coupled with collision-induced dissociation (CID), 213 nm ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) and activated-ion electron photodetachment dissociation (a-EPD) to yield high-quality MS/MS spectra. Fragments identified using an m/z-domain isotope matching strategy yielded high sequence coverage (>70%) of a yeast phenylalanine tRNA.
Animals in Search of Stimulation and Information: A Review of over 10 years of our Research on Spontaneous Exploration in Rats as a Response to Novelty in Low-Stress Paradigm
Authors: Pisula Wojciech , Modlinska Klaudia
Published: November 2023

This article comprehensively reviews our studies that analyzed novelty-related behaviors in rats. We developed and utilized techniques and equipment during these studies to ensure our findings' high ecological validity. We allowed rats to explore a testing apparatus freely, and after a long habituation phase consisting of multiple trials, we introduced non-emotionally arousing changes. The research shows that rats demonstrate enhanced abilities in processing and responding to heightened environmental complexity, as evidenced across various studies. Conversely, when environmental complexity diminishes, rats exhibit reduced exploratory behaviors and decreased cognitive effort despite the adaptive importance of such behaviors. Of particular interest is the observation that rats exhibit greater sensitivity to emerging opportunities in contrast to their limited responsiveness to diminishing ones, unveiling a novel facet of the animal mind that warrants further investigation. The influence of individual experiences before testing sessions on the processing of sensory input in terms of complexity is also determined. Our studies highlight the noteworthy impact of environmental unpredictability versus stability on cognitive development, affecting behaviors like food neophobia and exploration. Furthermore, the social environment during development holds wide-ranging implications for individual characteristics, necessitating continued research and refinement of our understanding in this domain. Moreover, the studies recognize strain and species differences in novelty-related behavior, primarily characterized by quantitative variations that do not overshadow the animals' coping strategies in response to environmental changes. Additionally, curiosity is portrayed as an active approach to seeking and processing environmental affordances, with exploratory behaviors fulfilling this cognitive and motivational need. The authors underscore the significance of ecological validity in test methodologies, particularly in designing environments that authentically invite and encourage pertinent behavioral responses. In summary, this research enhances our insight into rat cognition, underscores the role of curiosity, and underscores the imperative of ecological validity in experimental design, ultimately advancing our comprehension of animal behavior and cognition.
Exploratory Search: Information Matters More than Primary Reward
Authors: Anselme Patrick
Published: November 2023

In the study of animal foraging, resource exploitation (prey pursuit, handling, and consumption) has received much more attention than the search or exploratory process that leads predator to potential prey—whatever they are. Yet, in an unpredictable environment, exploration is crucial to optimize resource exploitation, or at least make this latter effective enough, and maintain organisms alive and capable of reproduction in the long term. I argue that environmental exploration requires psychological mechanisms that differ from those of resource exploitation. During exploration, organisms attempt to resolve the uncertainty about reward procurement rather than attempting to obtain reward. Behaviors that do not maximize reward procurement in some experimental designs are often described as suboptimal or even “irrational.” However, these designs might expose organisms to conditions that stimulate exploration more than exploitation. I suggest three general psychological principles assumed to govern environmental exploration, and report experimental evidence that justifies each of them. These principles may help account for behaviors difficult to explain by means of traditional theoretical frameworks.

Published: December 2023

We conducted this research to modify NiAl layered double hydroxide with several carbon-based materials, including cellulose, biochar and graphite. This material was successfully prepared by coprecipitation methods and was proven by XRD, SEM and FTIR characterization. Furthermore, we conducted the adsorption process and reusability to investigate their ability as water treatments. The dose effect on M.G. removal was investigated by the highest M.G. removal capacity using the CBC-NiAl LDHs composite, which was 100 mg. M.G. removal capacity was increased with an increase in contact time, and the saturation point was reached after 60 min for CC-NiAl and CGF-NiAl LDHs, which CBC-NiAl LDH increased and saturated after 100 min with high adsorption capacity. CC-NiAl, CBC-NiAl and CGF-NiAl LDHs composite have proved efficient, sustainable materials that maintain adsorption capability in each reusable cycle.
Seismic loads estimation on the storage tanks for toxic and flammable liquids
Authors: Sierikova Olena , Strelnikova Olena , Kryutchenko Denys
Published: November 2023

There are about 1 million earthquakes of varying intensity every year in the world. Further more increase in the technogenic objects number and the necessity to create environmentally safety conditions for their operation leads to improved scientific substantiation of seismic hazard parameters of technogenic objects that could adversely effect on the environment. Therefore, the research of seismic loads on the important technogenic objects still remains the urgent issue both globally and regionally. The aim of the paper is to prevent emergencies and negative impact on the environment in case of damage, destruction and leakage of storage tanks for toxic and flammable liquids due to seismic loads of different strength. There have been treated the peak amplitudes of seismic acceleration simulation during an earthquake from 1 to 9 points at the distance to the epicenter from 10 to 1000 m, the dominant excitation frequencies at the earthquake from 1 to 9 points at the distance to the epicenter from 10 to 1000 m, the earthquake average duration with the magnitude of 1 to 9 points at the distance to the epicenter from 10 to 1000 m and the issue of fluid oscillations in the arbitrary shell of rotation has been solved.

The results of the research will allow to select the storage tanks parameters from the influence of resonant frequencies, to prevent their destruction and to extend the service life, to minimize the ecologically hazardous impact on the environment and prevent emergencies. For the increasing the ecological safety level of the adjacent to the storage tanks territories, it has been proposed to control the effects of natural and technogenic factors on the storage tanks taking into account the forecast models of seismic changes and fluctuations in storage tanks using the algorithm for monitoring seismic loads on storage tanks.
Comparative study of aerodynamic properties of ichthyosaur bodies
Authors: Drushliak Vladyslav , Kizilova Nataliya , Koryakina Olga , Khalin Anatolii
Published: December 2023

The flow of viscous incompressible fluid around the geometric shapes corresponding to the bodies of ichthyosaurs of different evolutionary ages has been studied. The static pressure and flow velocity distributions around the bodies have been computed with the help of AnSys Fluent 2021 R2 software. It is shown that at some ‘angles of attack’ of the body to the flow there are vortices, pairs of vortices or vortex wakes, which lead to changes in the shear stress distribution along the body, that can be used by aquatic animals for purposes of sensing their environment and communicating. The hydrodynamic properties of the ichthyosaur bodies have been compared with dolphins and whales of a similar size. It is shown that in terms of aerodynamic indices there are no obvious differences between body forms of different evolutionary ages. Different species are most likely to have adapted the specifics of swimming, such as speed, angles of attack, habitation in the upper or lower layers, and others to their living conditions. The obtained results allow us to understand better the adaptational mechanisms and direction of evolution of aquatic animals.
Evolution of phytonotropes: emphasis on bacopa Monnieri
Authors: Brunemeier Sebastian A.
Published: November 2023

Memostim® is a phytonootropic agent, containing standardized BM extract (150 mg per capsule) and Ginkgo biloba extract (120 mg per capsule), providing the whole daily dose of both components. Memostim® is registered in United Kingdom and sold in United States under trade name Memoboost®.

As shown in a clinical trial of Memostim® (Memoboost®)[1], its use in the patients with dyscirculatory encephalopathy (term, commonly used in Ukraine, which corresponds more widely used term “cerebral small vessel disease”) during 3 months can ameliorate the clinical signs of this disturbance, particularly, increasing the level of neurotrophic factors (nerve growth factor-beta) up to 67%. Memostim® (Memoboost®) reduced manifestations of cognitive dysfunction, improving memory and attention. Positive influence of BM extract on the cognitive functions was followed by decreasing of manifestations of anxiety-depressive syndrome, as well increasing of the quality of life of the patients.

Bacopa is a very promising medicine for cognitive dysfunction, and has a favorable safety profile with a long history of use in humans. If you or your patients suffer from cognitive dysfunction, consider performing a study on their cognitive function before and after a period of Bacopa use (>1 month is required to notice statistically significant improvements in prior clinical trials). Dosing should not be on an empty stomach, which can result in gastrointestinal upset, as Bacopa is a pro-cholinergic agent. Bacopa should be taken with food. Absorption and bioavailability of the active constituents of Bacopa, such as the bacosides, may be enhanced by co-administering a lipid such as coconut milk / medium chain triglycerides, fish oil (EPA/DHA), avocado, or other fatty foods. Bacopa can be taken any time of day, but some users report improved sleep quality when dosed prior to bed.
Ethics and deontology in medical psychology
Authors: Khrol Natalia
Published: November 2023

Abstract. The sphere of influence of medical psychology is constantly expanding, which is due to the relevance of mental health problems for modern society and the presence of social demand for psychological assistance. Ethics in medical psychology as one of the types of professional ethics is a set of principles of regulation and norms of behavior of medical psychologists and physicians, determined by the specifics of their activities and the role and position they occupy in society. The concept of medical deontology also includes the system of relationships established in the course of treatment between a doctor and a patient, a medical psychologist and a patient. Deontology is the study of the proper behavior of medical personnel. The subject of deontology in medical psychology is the principles of proper attitude not only towards an individual but also towards society.

Referring to the ethical aspects of medical psychology, the modern models of medical ethics are analyzed: the Hippocratic model (V-IV centuries BC) – the key principle of which is: "Do no harm"; the model of Paracelsus (XV-XVI centuries) – the principle of "Do good". This model implements paternalism (pater) as a type of relationship between a medical psychologist and a patient, characterized by positive psychological attachments and social and moral responsibility, "healing", "divinity" of the contact between a medical psychologist and a patient; deontological model (XVIII-XIX centuries) is a set of "proper" rules that correspond to a particular field of medical practice; biomedical ethical model (60-70s of the XX century) considers medicine in the context of human rights. It has been established that medical psychology in all its sections is based on general medical ethical principles. Medical psychologists face specific ethical issues in their work.

This is the question of the need to inform the subject about the purpose and content of the psychological examination before it is conducted. Secondly, a medical psychologist must adhere to the rule of "boundaries" (the limit of acceptable behavior). Given the specifics of interpersonal interaction between a medical psychologist and a patient, it is necessary to clearly define professional boundaries of communication during psychological counseling and psychotherapeutic meetings. Thirdly, the formation of emotional attachment of the patient to the medical psychologist, which is one of the characteristics of professional interpersonal interaction, can be a difficult ethical issue. Therefore, a medical psychologist should control the interaction with the patient, being aware of their professional actions, so that emotional support does not interfere with providing the patient with the means to independently cope with difficulties and realize their life goals.

Рассматриваются одномерные линейные однородные уравнения типа Клейна–Гордона с постоянным и пропорциональным запаздыванием, которые помимо искомой функции 𝑢(х, 𝑡) содержат функцию с постоянным запаздыванием вида 𝑢(х, 𝑡 – t), где t > 0 – постоянное запаздывание, или функцию с пропорциональным запаздыванием вида 𝑢(х, 𝑝𝑡), где р – коэффициент пропорциональности. Приводятся выраженные в элементарных функциях точные решения таких уравнений. Сформулированы начально-краевые задачи с начальными данными общего вида и однородными граничными условиями первого, второго и третьего рода, а также смешанными граничными условиями. Приводится подробное описание решения этих задач с помощью метода разделения переменных. В результате получены аналитические формулы решений начально-краевых задач для линейных однородных уравнений типа Клейна–Гордона с постоянным и пропорциональным запаздыванием.

Objective: To comprehend the clinical characteristics and treatment approaches for children and adolescents in Qinghai Province with two types of echinococcosis, cystic echinococcosis (CE) and alveolar echinococcosis (AE). Methods: A total of 128 pediatric inpatients with echinococcosis at the People’s Hospital of Qinghai Province and the Clinical Research Institute of Echinococcosis of Qinghai Province between January 2016 and December 2021 were chosen as subjects. Demographic and clinical data were collected, and double data entry was executed using EpiData 3.02. Factors influencing the cure of echinococcosis were analyzed with echinococcosis cure as the dependent variable, employing statistical analysis via SPSS 19.0. Results: Of the cases, 35.9% had CE, and 64.1% had AE. Both types were observed in patients of all ages, with the majority aged 13–18. The number of cysts and their sizes varied between CE and AE. Complications were prevalent, including liver, gallbladder, lung, and nutritional complications. Univariate analyses revealed significant differences in outcomes based on factors such as cyst size (for CE), liver function grade (for AE), hydatid hypersensitivity test, operation, and length of hospital stay (P < 0.05). Conclusion: This comprehensive analysis of hospitalized cases sheds light on the clinical data of echinococcosis in children and adolescents in Qinghai Province. The findings contribute to a scientific foundation for formulating effective prevention and control measures tailored to this demographic, facilitating an improved understanding of echinococcosis in Qinghai province.
