Modern Vectors of Russian Diplomacy in the Post-Soviet Space
Authors: Karpovich O. G. , Davydova A. V.
Published: November 2021

The countries of the post-Soviet space are of particular importance for Russia’s geopolitical interests. This primarily concerns the political and economic processes taking place in them. Moreover, of great importance are the approaches of the post-Soviet countries to cooperation with Russia and integration processes in the post-Soviet space. In view of significant negative trends in the international arena, the consolidation of the post-Soviet space is acquiring paramount significance. Numerous challenges and complexity of the tasks that Russia is facing in the present region underscore the need for a balanced, pragmatic and forward-looking approach in bilateral and multilateral relations with the states. The focus of Russian diplomacy is still on Ukraine, the countries of the South Caucasus and Central Asia, Moldova and Belarus. These countries are the priority partners of Russia, the priority of its foreign policy.
Regional Security in the South Caucasus: The Energy Factor
Authors: Zhiltsov S. S. , Savicheva E. M.
Published: November 2021

A key factor that influenced regional security in the South Caucasus was the hostilities between Azerbaijan and Armenia in the fall of 2020. Those events have changed the balance of power in the region. The efforts of Azerbaijan, which relied on political and military support from Turkey, led to Baku’s control over part of the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh. The hostilities of the fall of 2020 aggravated the internal political situation in Armenia. Turkey strengthened its position in the region. In addition to solving geopolitical problems and promoting its economic interests in the countries of the South Caucasus, Ankara’s policy was aimed at expanding its presence in the energy sector, including through increased influence on Azerbaijan. The implementation of the “Southern Gas Corridor” project has made Turkey a key “player” in the South Caucasus in the energy sphere. Ankara has gained an opportunity to influence gas supplies to Europe. It also has access to Azerbaijan’s gas streams. In the long run, Turkey hopes to reach hydrocarbon resources on the eastern coast of the Caspian Sea, particularly Turkmen gas. With information and political support from the United States, Turkey has promoted the idea of the Trans-Caspian Gas Pipeline. Thus, Turkey’s policy promoted the development of the East-West Energy Corridor. The Turkish-Azerbaijani-Georgian trilateral format contributed to this. It allowed Ankara to greatly expand its presence in the South Caucasus and to impact the political and economic development of Azerbaijan and Georgia. Overall, however, Ankara’s policy has had a negative impact on regional security and has intensified the competition for influence in the South Caucasus among extra-regional actors.

Si entre las narrativas históricas la literatura ha ocupado un lugar privilegiado a través de los siglos, se debe en gran medida a su capacidad para hacer entrar las tensiones socioculturales al terreno de la estéticas. En América Latina, desafortunadamente, desde la imposición de las colonias europeas hasta el surgimiento de los estados nacionales, estas tensiones han dado forma a la violencia en cualquiera de sus manifestaciones: esclavitud, represión, exclusión, represiones sociales, explotación de las clases obreras, narcotráfico o las más recientemente denominadas violencias de género. La literatura, que siempre se nutre de la realidad, nos ha dotado de estas representaciones sociales, denunciando su existencia. El libro que tenemos entre manos es resultado de diversos esfuerzos por estudiar la manera en que estos temas han llegado a la literatura y se han convertido en objeto de reflexión o indagación estética para muchos escritores hispanoamericanos. Los artículos que lo integran son resultado de los proyectos de investigación que el Cuerpo Académico Diálogos Interdisciplinarios en la Literatura Hispanoamericana se ha dado a la tarea de desarrollar en la Universidad Veracruzana con investigadores de esta casa de estudios y con estudiosos de otras instituciones de educación superior de prestigio, convocados y reunidos para establecer elementos articuladores de un malestar presente en nuestra literatura. En ese sentido, Violencia. Representaciones estéticas es un libro en busca de primeras definiciones, que indaga en las diferentes modalidades discursivas –desde la poesía hasta la dramaturgia, pasando por el género memorialístico o el testimonio–; propone metodologías de análisis e invita a la relectura de un corpus literario que ha retratado estas búsquedas de la libertad, la pacificación y la civilidad, con el propósito de comenzar a articular una respuesta a las problemáticas que aún definen los territorios de México e Hispanoamérica.
Un procedimiento Bootstrap en el contexto del Análisis de Correspondencias: Aproximación numérica para medir la estabilidad de los ejes
Authors: VALENCIA GARCÍA OLGA , ÁLVAREZ ESTEBAN RAMÓN
Published: November 2021

Los procedimientos Bootstrap se utilizan habitualmente para evaluar la estabilidad de los métodos basados en ejes principales. En nuestra investigación, la atención se centra en el caso particular del Análisis de Correspondencias. Dado que en el Análisis de Correspondencias clásico las métricas están determinadas por las frecuencias marginales de las tablas y, por tanto, variarían a través de las tablas replicadas, sugerimos aquí un procedimiento Bootstrap espe-cífico en el que se lleva a cabo un Análisis de Correspondencias generalizado de las tablas replicadas imponiendo como métricas las procedentes de la tabla original. La contribución de nuestro trabajo es proporcionar un procedi-miento numérico para cuantificar la estabilidad de los ejes principales que es adecuado para este contexto. Propone-mos una medida acotada de la estabilidad de los ejes. Además, teniendo en cuenta que cualquier umbral fijo consi-derado para etiquetar un eje como estable o inestable sería arbitrario, nuestro procedimiento se basa en la compara-ción de datos reales y datos permutados aleatoriamente para determinar umbrales de estabilidad. Se presentan los resultados computacionales obtenidos en varios conjuntos de datos.

Reimbursement for health care services is transferring more risk away from payers and toward health care providers in the form of Alternative Payment Models (APMs), also known as Value-Based Care (VBC) models. VBC models cover a wide variety of forms but all include guarantees by providers of services to improve quality of care and/or reduce cost. Types of risk include performance risk, contract design risk or stochastic risk (because of the random variation in health care services and costs). A form of contract risk that can be a significant driver of cost is model risk, defined as the probability that the savings calculated at contract reconciliation will deviate from the actual savings generated. To estimate the degree of risk we quantify the potential variance in outcomes in a naïve population prior to intervention and the components that could affect outcomes, using examples of maternity and type 2 diabetes. This analysis has implications for both participants in, and designers of value-based contracts.
Buckling versus crystal expulsion controlled by deformation rate of particle-coated air bubbles in oil
Authors: Saha Saikat , Pagaud Francis , Binks Bernard P. , Garbin Valeria
Published: November 2021

Oil foams stabilized by crystallizing agents exhibit outstanding stability and show promise for applications in consumer products. The stability and mechanics imparted by the interfacial layer of crystals underpin product shelf-life, as well as optimal processing conditions and performance in applications. Shelf-life is affected by the stability against bubble dissolution over a long time scale, which leads to slow compression of the interfacial layer. In processing flow conditions, the imposed deformation is characterized by much shorter time scales. In practical situations, the crystal layer is therefore subjected to deformation on extremely different time scales. Despite its importance, our understanding of the behavior of such interfacial layers at different time scales remains limited. To address this gap, here we investigate the dynamics of single, crystal-coated bubbles isolated from an oleofoam, at two extreme timescales: the diffusion-limited timescale characteristic of bubble dissolution 10,000 s, and a fast time scale characteristic of processing flow conditions, 0.001 s. In our experiments, slow deformation is obtained by bubble dissolution, and fast deformation in controlled conditions with real-time imaging is obtained using ultrasound-induced bubble oscillations. The experiments reveal that the fate of the interfacial layer is dramatically affected by the dynamics of deformation: after complete bubble dissolution, a continuous solid layer remains; while after fast, oscillatory deformation of the layer, small crystals are expelled from the layer. This observation shows promise towards developing stimuli-responsive systems, with sensitivity to deformation rate, in addition to the already known thermo- and photo-responsiveness of oleofoams.
Structural-based engineering expands the substrate scope of a cyclodipeptide synthase
Authors: Sutherland Emmajay , Harding Christopher , Czekster Clarissa
Published: November 2021

Cyclodipeptide synthases (CDPSs) are a growing family of enzymes capable of producing a large variety of cyclodipetide products using aminoacylated tRNA. Histidine-containing cyclic dipeptides have important biological activities as anticancer and neuroprotective molecules. Out of the 120 experimentally validated CDPS members, only two are known to accept histidine as a substrate. Here, we studied the activities of both Para-CDPS from Parabacteroides sp. 20_3 and Parcu-CDPS from Parcubacteria bacterium RAAC4_OD1_1 which synthesise cyclo(His-Phe) and cyclo(His-Pro) respectively. Both enzymes accepted canonical and non-canonical amino acids as substrates to generate a library of novel molecules. In order to understand the substrate selectivity of these CDPSs, the crystal structure of Parcu-CDPS was solved (alongside a number of mutants) and the role of residues important for catalysis and histidine recognition were probed using mutagenesis. Three successive generations of mutants containing both single and double residue substitutions were generated leading to a change in substrate selectivity from histidine to phenylalanine and leucine. The research detailed herein is the first instance of successful engineering of a CDPS to yield different products, paving the way to direct the promiscuity of these enzymes to produce molecules of our choosing.
A techno-economic-environmental analysis of the methanol production from biogas and power-to-X
Authors: MOIOLI EMANUELE , Schildhauer Tilman
Published: November 2021

Methanol is a key ingredient for the chemical industry and for the energy sector. Towards a transition into carbon-neutral future, it would be of great interest to reduce the fossil carbon footprint of the methanol synthesis by investigating alternative routes. A potential way to produce methanol in a sustainable manner is to utilize biogas, which is a carbon-neutral feedstock. However, it is challenging to provide sufficient biogas to large-scale plants. For this reason, we investigate in this paper the possibility of producing methanol in small-scale decentralised plants. We analysed the techno-economic-environmental performance of the downscaling of the standard methanol production via steam reforming and we compared it with the novel synthesis via direct CO2 hydrogenation with green H2. We observed that, with cheap electricity and high methanol value, these processes are both profitable, with a slight advantage for the steam-reforming route. However, the direct CO2 hydrogenation route can be improved by developing tailor-made less costly equipment, thus showing a potential for application in an energy storage context (i.e. with extremely cheap electricity). We also observed that the use of biomethane as feedstock for centralized methanol production shows a similar performance as the localized methanol synthesis, due to the high cost of the raw material. Therefore, we can conclude that, with every technology analysed, the shift towards a biogas-based methanol manufacture results in a more expensive product and that small-scale localized production may play a role in the bio-based methanol supply.
Cuerpo y surrealismo: sobre el quiasmo en La tortuga ecuestre de César Moro y Un perro andaluz de Luis Buñuel
Authors: Cabrejo Cobián José Carlos
Published: November 2021

Este ensayo tiene como objetivo explorar cómo el poemario La tortuga ecuestre de César Moro, escrito entre 1938 y 1939, y el cortometraje Un perro andaluz de Luis Buñuel, que vio la luz en el año 1929, dos obras emblemáticas de la vanguardia surrealista, abordaron la representación icónica del cuerpo. Este fenómeno es analizado, por un lado, desde la perspectiva del quiasmo hallada en la obra del filósofo Maurice Merleau-Ponty; y, por otro, desde las semióticas generativa (Algirdas Julien Greimas y Joseph Courtés) y tensiva (Jacques Fontanille y Claude Zilberberg). La conclusión a la que se llega es que dichas obras confirman que el discurso surrealista en la poesía y el cine toma a través de la iconicidad una conciencia del quiasmo al enfocar el cuerpo y el mundo como una sola entidad, de modo íntegro y unitario.

Healthcare professionals and scientists were not able to provide a good answer to the COVID-19 pandemic that shook the whole world. Hydroxychloroquine is an antimalarial drug with a good safety profile. It can be used in pediatric subjects as well as pregnant and breastfeeding women. Hydroxychloroquine is a widely used, essential drug in dermatology. It has got anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral and immunomodulatory properties. It was globally prescribed to prevent and treat COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus. The use of this drug in treating COVID-19 is debatable and for sure is not indicated in the labelling documents provided by the companies that manufacture this drug. The unnecessary use of this drug also led to short supply. We hereby review its properties, mechanism, safety profile and the issue COVID pandemic has caused to the supply of this drug.
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE GREIMAS NARRATIVE STRUCTURE ON ULAT ENTADUK STORY (ORAL LITERATURE OF MALAY MEMPAWAH)
Authors: Asyura Muhammad
Published: November 2021

This research is a qualitative study describing the narrative structure of Ulat Entaduk story as one among the oral literature (fable) living in Malay society in Mempawah. The source of this research data are two native speakers from Mempawah with data in the form of fable stories. The Data was analyzed with a literary study using Greimas narrative structure theory. The results of this study showed that the acution and functional schemes of Ulat Entaduk story is  based off the inner conflict of the main character namely the mother and her childish adoptive son (blood-sucking worm) to torment the inner and physical mother. This happened because she too spoiled for her adoptive child that threatened her and family life. The most striking extrinsic element in the Caterpillar's story is self-immaturity and a family education that belongs to sex education. Readers are also taught to be thankful, respect for parents, and live independently as a key to the happiness of life.

Keywords: Ulat Entaduk (caterpillar), Greimas narrative, Malay Mempawah
RNA-binding protein Mub1 and the nuclear RNA exosome act to fine-tune environmental stress response
Authors: Birot Adrien , Kus Krzysztof , Priest Emily , Al Alwash Ahmad , Castello Alfredo , Mohammed Shabaz , Vasiljeva Lidia , Kilchert Cornelia
Published: November 2021

The nuclear RNA exosome plays a key role in controlling the levels of multiple protein-coding and non-coding RNAs. Recruitment of the exosome to specific RNA substrates is mediated by RNA-binding co-factors. The transient interaction between co-factors and the exosome as well as the rapid decay of RNA substrates make identification of exosome co-factors challenging. Here, we use comparative poly(A)+ RNA interactome capture in fission yeast expressing three different mutants of the exosome to identify proteins that interact with poly(A)+ RNA in an exosome-dependent manner. Our analyses identify multiple RNA-binding proteins whose association with RNA is altered in exosome mutants, including the zinc-finger protein Mub1. Mub1 is required to maintain the levels of a subset of exosome RNA substrates including mRNAs encoding for stress-responsive proteins. Removal of the zinc-finger domain leads to loss of RNA suppression under non-stressed conditions, altered expression of heat shock genes in response to stress, and reduced growth at elevated temperature. These findings highlight the importance of exosome-dependent mRNA degradation in buffering gene expression networks to mediate cellular adaptation to stress.

Smallholders perception on the roles of extension agent - coconut industry
sustainability in Tanjong Karang, Selangor, Malaysia
Authors: Rusli A.L. , Isa N.
Published: November 2021

This study was conducted to analyse the smallholder’s perception of the roles of extension
agents - coconut industry sustainability. To ensure the extension agent program is
successful, the agent should recognize their roles as the change agent in the coconut
industry which is, they act as a catalyst, process helpers, resource linkers, and solution
giver. This study was conducted in sub-districts of Kuala Selangor at Tanjong Karang.
The sample of fifty-six respondents was selected from the 65 population through the
random sampling method. By using a survey method, the questionnaires were distributed
to measure the roles of the extension agent as a change agent based on the smallholder’s
perception. Based on correlation coefficient analysis, it was shown that all data was
significant between catalyst, process helper, resource linker, and solution giver by using
0.10 (p-value). The highest correlation coefficient in this analysis is solution giver that
shows the correlation value 0.660 and can best be described as a positive strong
relationship. The result for multiple linear regression showed that process helper was the
dominant factor for this study which showed the beta, p-value is 0.264 by using 0.10 (pvalue). Hence, it can be analysed that the level of the extension agent roles in the coconut
industry is at a medium level because they are not fully utilizing their roles as a change
agent. As for the recommendation, extension agents in the coconut industry should be
more aggressive by looking at the various aspects such as communication, decision

Research on Environmental Pollution regulation in China’s Construction Industry
Authors: Yan Shengpeng
Published: November 2021

China has proposed the notion of sustainable development in the framework of a hazardous society in response to global environmental challenges. Research on regulatory concerns is critical for ensuring the application of the concept of sustainable development in the building industry. China’s regulation, on the other hand, suffers from a lack of supply and an ambiguous value orientation. The former is a symptom of the current regulatory structure, whereas the latter is the root of the problem. To overcome the value-oriented dilemma, some studies plan to conduct research using the logic of the norm. This has the disadvantage of having a limited field of vision. The interaction between man and nature should be considered while examining value orientation. When anthropocentrism, ecocentrism, and anthropocentrism in ecology are compared to the environmental legislation in my nation, it is clear that anthropocentrism in ecology is the value orientation that should be followed at the moment. Three challenges that require attention are presented based on this value orientation, as well as the uniqueness of the construction industry and risk society theory.

Objective: To explore the therapeutic effects of community health management and nursing strategies for elderly hypertensive patients. Methods: A total of 64 elderly hypertensive patients who were treated in our hospital from March 2020 to March 2021 were selected. The control group took conventional care and guidance. The research group carried out community health management and nursing strategy guidance on the basis of the control group. Then compare the blood pressure levels of the two groups of patients before and after nursing and the patients’ satisfaction with nursing. Results: Through comparison, it can be seen that the diastolic and systolic blood pressure levels of the study group and the control group are not significantly different before nursing. After nursing, the diastolic blood pressure of the patients in the study group was 81.22.1 mmHg and the systolic blood pressure was 126.58.7 mmHg. The diastolic blood pressure of the control group was 90.55.4 mmHg and the systolic blood pressure was 136.412.9 mmHg. There are obvious differences in the comparison of the two sets of data. By comparing the two groups of patients’ satisfactions with nursing care, it can be seen that among the 32 patients in the study group: 31 were very satisfied and basically satisfied, with a satisfaction rate of 96.87%. Among the 32 patients in the control group, 28 were very satisfied and basically satisfied, with a satisfaction rate of 87.5%. The data of the two groups of patients are clearly comparable.
