FlexAEAD v1.1 -A Lightweight AEAD Cipher with Integrated Authentication
Authors: Nascimento Eduardo Marsola do , Xexéo José Antonio Moreira
Published: December 2019

This paperdescribes a symmetrical block cipher family – FlexAEAD v1.1. This is an updated version of the work presented as round 1 candidate on the contest for NIST lightweight crypto standardization process. It was engineered to be lightweight, consuming less computational resources than other ciphers and to work with different block and key sizes. Other important characteristic is to integrate the authentication on its basic algorithm. This approach is helps to reduce the resource needs. The algorithm capacity to resist against linear and different cryptanalysis attacks was evaluated. The FlexAEAD also supports the authentication of the Associated Data (AD). The version 1.1 makes the algorithm resistant to iterated differential attacks. It also resolves a padding attack on the AD that allowed messages to have the same tag if the last AD block was filled with zeros.

Air
pollution adversely affects the lives of all the living, in particular human
health. In case its effect increases and it continues to harm the living, it
will cause countless health issues and this will incur economical losses in our
country. The use of poor-quality coal leads to an increase in air pollution.
The coals of this quality used in the city of Bitlis have led to the increase
of air pollution. In order to ensure air quality, the polluting amounts should
be decreased and the national pollution limiting values should be such that
they are applicable. Monitoring the current pollution state by preparing an
emission inventory for developing future clean air plans and taking the
necessary measures is important for laying out the extent of the air pollution
problem. Under the Clean Air Action Plan for the City of Bitlis, the city was
evaluated in respect of its general characteristics and considered with regard
to the distribution characteristics and effects on human health of the
pollutants. The amount of coal consumed in Bitlis in 2014 was obtained from
Bitlis Directorate of Environment and Urbanization and this value is
approximately 32802 tons. In 2014, due to coal firing in Bitlis, the amounts
released to the atmosphere are calculated to be 1178 tons/year for SO2
emission, 105 tons/year for NO2, 124 tons/year for PM10
and 1316 tons/year for CO.

Focal ossification as one of the reasons for erroneous diagnosis of chorioretinal lesions
Authors: Stoyukhina Alevtina S.
Published: December 2019

Focal calcifications of the retina and choroid occur usually in such well-known tumors as: retinoblastoma, choroidal osteoma, choroidal hemangioma, retinal astrocytoma. In addition, cases of idiopathic or secondary calcification are known, the most common of them is sclerochoroidal calcification. The article provides a detailed analysis of the clinical and tomographic pictures of ossifying conditions occurring in adults. It is shown that, in addition to a different ophthalmoscopic picture, these conditions are characterized by a different level of localization of the pathological calcification zone and a different stage of retinal damage.
New algorithm for planning superior tarsal muscle resection for blepharoptosis: description of technique and results
Authors: Potyomkin Vitaly V. , Goltsman Elena V.
Published: December 2019

Background. Transconjunctival techniques for blepharoptosis correction are popular because of ease of implementation and good predictability. For a long time, the phenylephrine test remained the main factor influencing the choice of blepharoptosis correction method. Recently, more and more researches indicate the possibility of the superior tarsal muscle resection in patients with negative responses to the phenylephrine test. Authors have proposed and described a new modified technique for resection of the superior tarsal muscle, which can be used to correct blepharoptosis in patients with different responses to phenylephrine test.

Materials and methods. The study included 2 groups of patients with mild to moderate blepharoptosis with levator muscle function 8 mm or more. The main group (75 patients, 103 eyelids) underwent a modified resection of the superior tarsal muscle, and in the comparison group (26 patients, 35 eyelids) an open sky resection of the superior tarsal muscle was performed. Surgery in the main group was planned according to the following algorithm. In positive and sufficient response to the test, 2/3 of the superior tarsal muscle was resected. In case of positive but insufficient response to the phenylephrine test, subtotal superior tarsal muscle resection was performed. In case of negative or slightly positive result of phenylephrine test, an assessment of the white line motility was additionally performed intraoperatively. If the motility of the white line (in mm) was equal to the amount of ptosis, subtotal superior tarsal muscle resection was performed without resection of the superior tarsal plate. If the motility of the white line was less than desired amount of correction, then subtotal superior tarsal muscle resection was combined with tarsal plate resection to reach the desired amount of correction. The residual height of the tarsal plate was always left 5 mm or more. If superior tarsal plate was compromised or not high enough to perform desired amount of resection then white line was advanced to the tarsal plate.

Results. The degree of ptosis, the result, the width of the palpebral fissure in the center, lateral and medial limbus, MRD 1 and MRD 2 did not significantly differ between the groups (p 0.05). However, the frequency of hypo- and hypercorrections was significantly lower in the main group (p 0.05).

Conclusion. New algorithm of planning modified superior tarsal muscle resection gives an opportunity to use transconjuctival methods of blepharoptosis correction in cases of weak and negative phenylephrine test and to reduce the amount of hypo- and hypercorrections

Explorando a régua de cálculo como recurso didático no ensino de multiplicação para formação de professores de matemática
Authors: Santos Andressa Gomes dos , Alves Verusca Batista , Pereira Ana Carolina Costa
Published: December 2019

A história da Matemática tem disponibilizado recursos didáticos que aliados a uma metodologia de ensino permite a construção de conhecimentos Matemáticos atrelados a uma prática cultural e social. Dentre os objetos que possibilitam incorporar o saber na história, encontrou-se a Régua de Cálculo que, ao longo da história, desempenhou um papel importante na disseminação dos logaritmos. Dessa forma, esse artigo visa apresentar a concepção dos licenciandos em Matemática da Universidade Estadual do Ceará (UECE) sobre as possíveis potencialidades da Régua de Cálculo para o ensino de multiplicação. Foi realizada uma pesquisa-ação com um grupo de 12 participantes de um curso de extensão universitária ministrado em março de 2019, tendo como carga horária total 12h/a. Com base na coleta de dados por meio de gravação de áudio, vídeo e recolhimento das atividades, percebe-se que a utilização de um instrumento histórico, em especial a Régua de Cálculo, é um modo inovador de construção e apropriação do conhecimento matemático. No entanto, o “como fazer” ainda é o principal obstáculo no desenvolvimento de novas ações envolvendo a história da Matemática. Com a experiência vivenciada no curso, espera-se que esses professores em formação inicial/continuada possam ampliar suas ações, através desse recurso, a Régua de Cálculo Linear, fornecida pela história da Matemática.
“Trabalho gênero e sexualidade quando o assunto chega nas minhas aulas”: a escola nas discussões de gênero e sexualidades a partir da demanda dos/as alunos/as
Authors: Ferrari Anderson , De Souza Gomes Claudete Imaculada , Gomes Berto Cláudio Magno
Published: December 2019

Qual tem sido o trabalho desenvolvido pelas escolas na discussão de gênero e sexualidade? Partimos da afirmação de que a escola realiza o trabalho com gênero e sexualidade, mesmo que não tenha consciência disso.  Essa pergunta inicial, que não é absolutamente nova, é o foco das análises apresentadas neste artigo a partir de questões surgidas de uma pesquisa realizada num programa de pós-graduação em Educação, entre os anos de 2015-2016. Uma questão problematizadora interessada nas abordagens de gênero e sexualidades nas aulas, de forma planejada ou não. Gênero e sexualidades são organizadores sociais, resultado de construção histórica e cultural. Assim, dialogar com professores e professoras é reforçar a ideia de que escolas não são essências, mas fruto de relações entre indivíduos e sociedade. Para desenvolver a pesquisa e as análises, estamos assumindo a perspectiva teórico-metodológica pós-estruturalista, influenciada pelos estudos foucaultianos, que, não se propondo a oferecer soluções, proporciona a oportunidade de ampliar o debate sobre pesquisa no campo educacional.
Molecular modelling study of the role of cholesterol in the stimulation of the oxytocin receptor.
Authors: Politowska E , Kaźmierkiewicz R , Wiegand V , Fahrenholz F , Ciarkowski J
Published: December 2019

Cholesterol, an integral component of membranes in Eucaryota, is a modifier of membrane properties. In vivo studies have demonstrated that cholesterol can also modulate activities of some G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), which are integral membrane proteins. This can result either from an effect of cholesterol on the membrane fluidity or from specific interactions of the membrane cholesterol with the receptor, as recently demonstrated for the cholecystokinin type beta (CCKRbeta) or the oxytocin receptor (OTR). Using molecular modelling, we studied conformational preferences of cholesterol and several of its analogues. Subsequently, we simulated the distributions of their preferred conformations around the surface of OTR, CCKRbeta and a chimeric oxytocin/cholecystokinin receptor. Consequently, we suggest residues on the surface of OTR which are potentially significant in the OTR/cholesterol interaction.

Published: December 2019

Lifetime distribution analysis were performed to study the influence of Leu configuration in position 5 on changes of the peptide chain of cyclic analogues of enkephalins containing a fluorescence donor and acceptor in different solvents. The configuration change of Leu5 in all the analogues of enkephalins studied which contain donor-acceptor pairs has no apparent influence on Trp lifetime distributions. In contrast, there is a significant solvent effect on the shape of lifetime distribution.
Immunosuppressory activity of the cyclodimeric peptide with RGD-sequences.
Authors: Szewczuk Z , Buczek P , Stefanowicz P , Krajewski K , Wieczorek Z , Siemion I Z
Published: December 2019

Our previous studies showed that the nonapeptide fragment of HLA-DQ of the sequence H-Thr-Pro-Gln-Arg-Gly-Asp-Val-Tyr-Thr-OH, located in the beta164-172 loop, strongly suppresses the humoral and cellular immune responses, while its shorter analogs, H-Arg-Gly-Asp-Val-OH, H-Arg-Gly-Asp-Val-Tyr-OH and H-Gln-Arg-Gly-Asp-Val-Tyr-OH show only a weak stimulatory activity in respect to the humoral immunological response. These fragments contain the Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) sequence, known for its importance for cellular association phenomena. Based on the crystal structure of HLA-DR1, we also designed and synthesized a cyclic analog H-Cys-Arg-Gly-Asp-Val-Tyr-Cys-OH with restricted conformation, which strongly suppresses the immune response and selectively inhibits the alphavbeta3 integrin, suggesting that the mechanism of the immunosuppressory action of the peptide is associated with inhibition of the integrin. In this paper we present the design and synthesis of the cyclodimeric peptide, Arg-Gly-Asp-Arg-Gly-Asp, which is also known as a selective alphavbeta3 inhibitor. The synthesized peptide strongly suppresses both the humoral and cellular immune response. The results support our hypothesis that the immunomodulatory activity of HLA-DQ fragments may be connected with their interactions with some particular integrins on the cell surface.
Intracellular potassium and chloride channels: an update.
Authors: Debska G , Kicińska A , Skalska J , Szewczyk A
Published: December 2019

Channels selective for potassium or chloride ions are present in all intracellular membranes such as mitochondrial membranes, sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum, nuclear membrane and chromaffin granule membranes. They probably play an important role in events such as acidification of intracellular compartments and regulation of organelle volume. Additionally, intracellular ion channels are targets for pharmacologically active compounds, e.g. mitochondrial potassium channels interact with potassium channel openers such as diazoxide. This review describes current observations concerning the properties and functional roles of intracellular potassium and chloride channels.
Uncoupling proteins in mitochondria of plants and some microorganisms.
Authors: Jarmuszkiewicz W
Published: December 2019

Uncoupling proteins, members of the mitochondrial carrier family, are present in mitochondrial inner membrane and mediate free fatty acid-activated, purine-nucleotide-inhibited H+ re-uptake. Since 1995, it has been shown that the uncoupling protein is present in many higher plants and some microorganisms like non-photosynthetic amoeboid protozoon, Acanthamoeba castellanii and non-fermentative yeast Candida parapsilosis. In mitochondria of these organisms, uncoupling protein activity is revealed not only by stimulation of state 4 respiration by free fatty acids accompanied by decrease in membrane potential (these effects being partially released by ATP and GTP) but mainly by lowering ADP/O ratio during state 3 respiration. Plant and microorganism uncoupling proteins are able to divert very efficiently energy from oxidative phosphorylation, competing for deltamicroH+ with ATP synthase. Functional connection and physiological role of uncoupling protein and alternative oxidase, two main energy-dissipating systems in plant-type mitochondria, are discussed.
Structure and functions of 5S rRNA.
Authors: Barciszewska M Z , Szymański M , Erdmann V A , Barciszewski J
Published: December 2019

The ribosome is a macromolecular assembly that is responsible for protein biosynthesis in all organisms. It is composed of two-subunit, ribonucleoprotein particles that translate the genetic material into an encoded polypeptides. The small subunit is the site of codon-anticodon interaction between the messenger RNA (mRNA) and transfer RNA (tRNA) substrates, and the large subunit catalyses peptide bond formation. The peptidyltransferase activity is fulfilled by 23S rRNA, which means that ribosome is a ribozyme. 5S rRNA is a conserved component of the large ribosomal subunit that is thought to enhance protein synthesis by stabilizing ribosome structure. This paper shortly summarises new results obtained on the structure and function of 5S rRNA.

Bhardwaj, R.K. (2017). Information literacy in the social sciences and humanities: A bibliometric study. Information and Learning Science, 188(1/2), 67–89. https://doi.org/10.1108/ILS-09-2016-0068

Abstract

Objective – To determine the scope and distribution of information literacy research documents in the humanities and social sciences published from 2001 to 2012.

Design – Bibliometric analysis.

Setting – N/A

Subjects – 1,990 document records retrieved from a Scopus database search. 

Methods – Using the database Scopus, the author created and conducted a search for documents related to the concept of information literacy. Articles, review papers, conference articles, notes, short surveys, and letters were included in the results. Only documents published from January 1, 2001 to December 31, 2012 were included in the study. The author then performed various bibliometric analyses of the results.

Main Results – The author found that the number of publications and citations have increased over time, although the average citations per publication (ACPP) decreased significantly during the time period being studied. The majority of the literature published on this topic is in English and produced within the United States. The Transformative Activity Index was calculated to determine changes in publishing patterns across countries from 2001 to 2012. The amount of research collaboration across countries was calculated as well, with the U.S. being the most collaborative. The top journals publishing on this topic were identified by calculating the h-index. An individual from Universidad de Granada in Spain published the greatest number of articles from a single author, and this university was found to have produced the greatest amount of research. Documents produced by the United Kingdom have the highest citation rates. A total of 1,385 documents were cited at least once, and each item on average was cited five times.

Conclusion – Most of the articles on information literacy in the social sciences and humanities comes from developed countries. The results of this study may help to inform those interested in researching this field further.
Seven Years of Noise Reduction Strategies in an Academic Library Improve Students’ Perceptions of Quiet Space, Especially Among Graduate Students
Authors: Sullo Elaine
Published: December 2019

A Review of:

McCaffrey, C. & Breen, M. (2016). Quiet in the library: An evidence-based approach to improving the student experience. portal: Libraries and the Academy, 16(4), 775-791.  http://doi.org/10.1353/pla.2016.0052    

Abstract

Objective – To examine the interventions implemented by an academic library for noise management, and their impact on library users, over a seven-year period. 

Design – Retrospective data analysis.

Setting – University library in Ireland.

Subjects – LibQUAL data from 2007, 2009, 2012, and 2014.

Methods – The researchers analyzed data from the 22 core LibQUAL questions and the three dimensions of library as place, information control, and effect of service. The study focused specifically on LibQUAL question LP2 in the library as place dimension: quiet space for individual work. Qualitative free text comments in the surveys related to noise or quiet issues were also analyzed. The adequacy mean was used to determine improvement in scores; this metric is calculated by subtracting the minimum mean score from the perceived mean score.

Main Results – LibQUAL scores related to the quiet space question steadily improved over the seven-year period studied. The adequacy mean went from -1.2 to -0.13, representing a 1.07 degree of improvement. For all 22 questions, the adequacy mean increased from 0.02 to 0.38, showing overall improvement of 0.36. Researchers reviewed the data for all individual questions to measure the degree of change over the seven years; the quiet space question had the highest level of improvement of all of the questions. Considering user groups’ perceptions, there was a 2.03 degree of improvement for graduate students, while there was a 0.82 degree of improvement for undergraduates.

The researchers wanted to know if the noise interventions had a specific impact on the quiet space question compared to a more general impact on the “library as place” dimension. None of the other “library as place” questions improved to the degree of the quiet space question. Of the “library as place” questions, question LP5, the group space question, was the only one where the adequacy mean dropped, with an adequacy mean difference of -0.23.

External benchmarking conducted by the researchers put these results in an international context, using consortium data from ARL in North America and the Society of College, National and University Libraries (SCONUL) in the United Kingdom (U.K.).

Conclusion – Based on the study findings, the long-term noise management program implemented from 2007 to 2014 at the University library had a measurable impact, and users’ perceptions of the quiet space in the library improved.  Because perceptions improved most among graduate students, researchers concluded that future efforts for noise management strategies should consider focusing on this group.

Residential buildings and premises must comply with sanitary rules and regulations, but a lot of provisions of sanitary and epidemiological requirements for living conditions contradict Federal legislation and do not provide for the regulation of public relations arising in the process of ensuring sanitary and epidemiological well-being of population at all stages of arranging residential buildings and premises, therefore they require updating. International, national regulatory legal acts of a number of countries, regulatory legal acts of Russian Federation, establishing sanitary and epidemiological requirements for living conditions in residential buildings and premises, research studies carried out in Russia and abroad were used as research materials. A set of general scientific research methods: analytical, system-structural, comparative was a procedural basis of the study. Widening of the scope of sanitary standards and rules: extension of responsibility for compliance with the requirements of the document to the executive authorities, expanding the list of objects prohibited for allocation in residential buildings, measures to ensure a barrier-free environment for the disabled, requirements of inadmissibility of residential building destruction by mold, and others were suggested as the results of the study. Due to the fact that the problem of fresh air is common, the design indices of air and air exchange rate are proposed. Recommended changes regarding noise regulation assume the elimination of contradictions when correction coefficients are applied. Conclusions. Analysis of current sanitary and epidemiological requirements enabled to specify indoor environmental factors of the living space, originating from an interaction of outdoor environment, indoor environment of the living space and direct effect of the human himself and on which favorable living conditions depend, and elaborate on the reasons of violations of the established requirements. Suggested changes and additions corresponded to the main trends existing in international practice are aimed at specifying the provisions of the document, optimizing a number of standards, and eliminating contradictions. It is noted that regulation and monitoring of dwelling condition cannot be limited just by the indoor premises of the building. It is necessary to consider the living environment as a united system: human - residential unit (apartment, room, and auxiliary facilities) - building - surrounding grounds- microdistrict - residential area of the city.

Published: December 2019

Introduction. The review presents data on the structure and functions of hypoxia-inducible transcription factor - HIF. In today’s world, a person is constantly exposed to harmful damaging factors, the response of the body to which, depending on the state of adaptive systems leads either to the development of diseases or increase resistance. Important importance in the adaptation of the body to damaging effects belongs to the transcription factor, denoted as a hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF). There were identified more than 100 genes activated by HIF and therefore mediated by this transcription factor affecting the regulation of iron homeostasis, energy metabolism, the balance of Pro - and antioxidants in the cells, the activation of inhibitors of apoptosis and the formation of new blood vessels. The structure of HIF and its isoforms. The data on isoforms of HIF-α and organ-specific features of the distribution of HIF-1α, HIF-2α, and HIF-3α. Increased expression of α-subunits of transcription factor occurs in response to hypoxic effects, both acute and adaptive, psycho-emotional stress, under the action of toxic production-related factors. The increase in the level of HIF-α isoforms provides an expression of genes involved in the implementation of compensatory-adaptive responses to various harmful effects. Genetic polymorphism of the HIF. The data on the HIF-1α gene polymorphism and its association with various diseases are presented. It is shown that the most studied polymorphisms are rs11549465 C > T and rs11549467 T > C identified in the domain of oxygen-dependent degradation of the DNA sequence of the HIF-1α gene. Carriers of the C/T genotype have increased expression of HIF-1α transcription factor for rs11549465 C > T and rs11549467 T > Cpolymorphisms, Association with the risk of coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction is shown. The study of HIF-1α gene polymorphism can be promising for the diagnosis and prognosis of occupationally caused diseases, as well as the development of effective ways of their correction and prevention.

Published: December 2019

Introduction. Despite the improvement of technologies for the production of petrochemical products, against the background of the positive dynamics of occupational morbidity in the whole production of chemicals and chemical products, according to official data, occupational diseases are recorded annually at the industrial enterprises. In this regard, studies that will reveal the causal relationships between occupational diseases and the development of preventive programs aimed at eliminating the influence of harmful substances on the workers’ bodies and ensuring safe working conditions are relevant. Material and methods. There was carried a retrospective analysis of occupational morbidity indices out due to acute and chronic occupational diseases caused by a chemical factor over 39 years (1980-2018) in workers of one of the leading petrochemical enterprises located in the Volga Federal District. This company includes more than a dozen industries located on one industrial site. Occupational morbidity was assessed in absolute and relative terms. The occupational morbidity index, an integral indicator of the frequency and severity of occupational diseases, occupational risk levels in terms of occupational morbidity were determined in accordance with the Guide “Occupational Health Risk to Workers”, edited by Izmerov N.F., Denisov E.I. Results. The working conditions of petrochemical workers that are part of the enterprise structure are unsafe; cases of acute and/or chronic occupational diseases caused by chemical factors are annually recorded. In the structure of occupational morbidity, chronic toxicity ranks first. The level of occupational risk according to indices of occupational morbidity among workers of heptyl production corresponds to above average, among workers of ethylbenzene-styrene and butyl alcohols - to average. Conclusion. Based on the analysis of the occupational morbidity of petrochemical workers, a prevention program including a number of organizational, technical, sanitary and hygienic, as well as medical and preventive measures have been developed.

Introduction. The problem of women’s health protection and maintaining their reproductive health is a relevant problem of occupational health. Material and methods. The assessment of exposure levels to hazardous occupational factors at workplaces and reproductive health indices of female workers of petrochemistry and mining of the Republic of Bashkortostan has been carried out. Results. Petrochemical female workers have been shown to be exposed to the combined impact of toxicants including saturated, unsaturated, aromatic hydrocarbons and their derivatives, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, etc. at the maximum permissible level or below their concentration, the mining and processing enterprise workers - to the combined impact of hazardous occupational factors (polymetallic ore dust, chemicals, industrial noise). The working conditions of female workers of both industries correspond to hazardous Class I. Most chemicals possess reproductive toxicity. A significantly high prevalence of menstrual disorders, benign neoplasms, obstetric pathology in the form of threatened abortion, gestosis in the second half of pregnancy, chronic placental insufficiency, and as well as newborns’ morbidity have been revealed among female workers of main groups. Conclusion. The labor of women in the modern petrochemical complex, as well as the mining and processing enterprise fails to provide female workers’ reproductive health safety. Studies have shown the need to develop a system of preventive measures which will promote reproductive health of workers.
On the question of highly skilled athletes physiological adaptation
Authors: Syrova Svetlana , Selitrenikova Tatyana
Published: December 2019

We consider aspects of highly skilled athletes organism physiological adaptation to influence of mental and physical loadings. We define the basics of functional processes in the athlete body, especially the functioning of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems under stress. We reflect the interrelation of the human body functional state with the level of stress experienced by them, as well as the level of personal state anxiety. We consider the intensive mental activity and emotional overstrain formation mechanisms at athletes, including, high class. We show the physi-cal activity influence mechanism on the level of pulmonary ventilation and cardiovascular activity. We consider the change of stress level experienced by highly qualified athletes in conditions of intense mental and physical activity. We highlight the physical activity influence on the physiological processes in the athlete body through the implementation of nervous and humoral mechanisms regulation.
Family in the Russian linguistic worldview (as exemplified in Russian folk and authors’ tales)
Authors: Li Yixin
Published: December 2019

We analyze lexemes in the Russian language, representing the idea of the family. The analysis materials are Russian folk tales from the collection of A.N. Afanasyev and author's tales of A.S. Pushkin, L.N. Tolstoy, A.M. Gorky and S.Y. Marshak. The concept of “family” in Russian folk and author's tales is represented by central and peripheral lexemes. The central lexemes are generally accepted, actively used lexemes (the immediate environment of a person: mother, father, grandfather, grandmother, son, brother, daughter, sister), and peripheral lexemes in Russian folk and author's tales are different (the distant environment of a person: relatives, relatives, relatives, friends, inner circle, etc.). Central lexemes objectify the idea family in Russian folk and author's tales and differ from each other; peripheral lexemes objectify the idea of the family and have similarities in their use. Tales of Russian authors pay more attention to the wife/mother in the family in comparison with Russian folk tales, because according to Russian family traditions the wife always “holds” the family.
Linguistic controversy in the sphere of law making and enforcement
Authors: Belyanskaya Olga V.
Published: December 2019

We analyze the linguistics and legal nature of the legal discourse of various types of legal activity: law-making, law-realization, as a result of which we reveal new formal and linguistic features of legal texts. On the example of article 358 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation on ecocide we reveal a number of shortcomings: the choice of the wrong member of the synonymous series and the non-specific content of the sanction. Revealed certain linguistic shortcomings can become an obstacle to the successful use of this legal norm in the process of its implementation. The weak development of lawyers’ linguistic skills, which they need for the proper exercise of their authorities, the inability to adequately express the thought can lead to infringement of the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of citizens. Textual shortcomings, as well as gross linguistic errors, reduce the effectiveness of Russian legislation, make it difficult to understand the essence of the legal norm. To solve these problems, it is necessary to conduct a competent linguistic examination, which will increase the text indicators of the regulatory act. The prospects of in-teraction of legal and linguistic sciences are reasonable due to the emergence of new directions of interaction of jurisprudence with various linguistic interdisciplinary directions (semiotics, socio- and psycholinguistics, cognitive linguistics, etc.).
Religious oikonyms of Nizhny Novgorod Region as part of the regional cultural and historical heritage
Authors: Nikiforova Olga V.
Published: December 2019

We consider religious oikonyms of the Nizhny Novgorod Region. We analyze the specifics of formation of rural toponyms on the basis of cult and religious lexicon and also establish the originality of their lexical meaning. We note that religious oikonyms have a specific place on the Russian toponymic map as they represent the church importance in the Nizhny Novgorod Region and contain the memory of the Christian culture of the Russian people. The inhabited places naming as churches and religious holidays was a productive process in the 19th century and nowadays there are still religious oikonyms in the Nizhny Novgorod Region. In the researched territory the toponyms of religious semantics were not renamed therefore many settlements kept sacral names. We prove that geographical names with Orthodoxy origins reflect not only historical and social, ethnocultural, but also and language features of the Russian ethnos. We conclude that religious oikonyms study on material of different regions of Russia allows the researcher to reveal existentional values of the villager, namely – what Saints in the area were esteemed more, what religious holidays were not indifferent to the people both pragmatically and spiritually.
The genres of documentary novel of the “Neue Sachlichkeit” and the problem of cognition
Authors: Dronova Olga A.
Published: December 2019

We consider genre typology of documentary novels of “Neue Sachlichkeit”: a “report” novel, a “novel of fact” and a documentary montage novel. The proposed classification is based on the different nature of the interaction of narrative and document in these types of novels. In the “report” novel the narration is conducted from the point of view of the observer, the literary text appears as a testimony, the document of an era. The “novel of fact” is based on real documents that are partially or fully integrated into the artistic whole. In the montage novel fragments of doc-umentary material and narrative are connected with each other associatively, resulting in a frag-mentary image of the world. We analyze the novels of 1920s – early 1930s by J. Roth, A. Doeblin, E. Ottwalt, E. Reger, R. Brunngraber and E. Koeppen. We substantiate the conception, that the problem of cognition acquires special importance in the documentary-fiction novels of “Neue Sachlichkeit”. On the one hand, the hero of the novels is trying to understand the changed social reality. On the other hand, documentary-fiction novels of “Neue Sachlichkeit” require special way of reading: they are designed to activate the reader's perception, to teach the reader to recreate a complete picture of reality based on the comparison of different ways of its image: narrative, evi-dence and documents.

Abordagens metodológicas das pesquisas em organização e representação do conhecimento no contexto brasileiro
Authors: Barros Camila Monteiro de , Vital Luciane Paula
Published: December 2019

O conhecimento científico é caracterizado como racional, sistemático e verificável, sua verificação é viabilizada por meio de metodologias científicas. A construção do conhecimento científico requer métodos que forneçam um aporte adequado às características das diferentes áreas. Esse estudo direciona sua análise para a Organização do Conhecimento, que evidencia-se como nuclear na Ciência da Informação pois, dito de forma simplista, viabiliza a organização da informação por meio da explicitação de conceitos e suas relações, de forma contextualizada, possibilitando a recuperação. Apresenta como objetivo conhecer os enfoques metodológicos utilizados pelos pesquisadores da área de Organização do Conhecimento no Brasil. A pesquisa é de natureza quali-quantitativa, caracteriza-se como exploratória e utiliza como procedimento metodológico a pesquisa bibliográfica. O corpus é composto por 184 trabalhos apresentados no Grupo de Trabalho 2 do Encontro Nacional de Pesquisa em Ciência da Informação (PGCIN) entre os anos 2013 e 2017. Observa-se uma predominância de trabalhos com abordagem qualitativa (90,2%), o que condiz com a natureza do objeto estudado: o conceito. É possível verificar que a maior parte das pesquisas (76%) é teórica, ou seja, verificam, analisam e/ou constroem teorias. 82 trabalhos analisados apresentam mais de um procedimento metodológico, e desses, 4 apresentam mais que 2 procedimentos metodológicos. Verifica-se que, apesar das indicações de submissão, é recorrente a ausência de indicação clara dos procedimentos metodológicos adotados, fragilizando a validação das pesquisas. Conclui que as pesquisas em Organização do Conhecimento, no contexto brasileiro, desenvolvem pesquisas com abordagens qualitativas, teóricas e que são fomentadas pela própria literatura científica.
Reflexões acerca da representação de documentos e a recepção informacional
Authors: Maimone Giovana Deliberali
Published: December 2019

Apresenta reflexões sobre representação documentária, relacionando-a à recepção informacional pelo indivíduo. A Ciência da Informação opera com o tratamento de documentos tendo a preocupação de tornar o usuário informado, para que, a partir das informações recebidas seja possível a geração de conhecimento. A metodologia empregada para desenvolvimento deste trabalho constituiu-se de levantamentos bibliográficos em bases de dados nacionais e estrangeiras, possibilitados pelo Sistema Integrado de Bibliotecas da Universidade de São Paulo (SIBI/USP). Verificou-se que existem relações entre os conceitos uma vez que a recepção informacional é otimizada por meio da adequada e fidedigna representação documentária, que perpassa processos cognitivos e compulsoriamente comunicativos para sua apropriação. Possibilita-se, deste modo, o desenvolvimento intelectual, científico, tecnológico e cultural da sociedade através do processo representativo. O ato de receber uma informação não propicia obrigatoriamente a geração de novos conhecimentos, porém é evidente que a área da Ciência da Informação pode auxiliar a partir da representação aliada aos processos cognitivos que envolvem o pensamento humano.
