Authors: Levakova O. V. , Kostan'yants М. I.
Published: May 2022

Data on the determination of drought resistance in laboratory conditions are presented with a comparison of the results of field studies conducted in 2018-2020 in the fields of the Ryazan branch of the FSBI FNAC VIM. The diagnosis of plants against the background of sucrose revealed a depression in the length of sprouts and their number. The evaluation of the productivity of breeding numbers for drought resistance, compared with the data of the structural analysis of productivity, revealed that all the studied varieties and lines were medium-productive and only one line L 68-18 was highly productive. The maximum average yield (more than 6,0 t/ha) was obtained from promising lines: L 39-17, L 67-18, L 28-16, L 33-09, L 51-09. The assessment of yield, adaptability and a complex of economically valuable traits allowed us to select the most promising breeding lines. The line L 33-09 has been identified, which has the maximum indicators for resistance to modulated laboratory drought, high average yield, genetic flexibility, stability index and indicator of the level and stability of the variety. The selected varieties and lines are actively involved in hybridization to create a new breeding material adapted to the conditions of the region and further targeted selection based on drought resistance and potential productivity.

In Russian research laboratories for direct testing of soil samples for the presence of zoosporangia of the causative agent of potato wart disease Synchytrium endobioticum (Schilb.) Perc. use the flotation method in carbon tetrachloride (highly toxic preparation). The paper presents the results of approbation and improvement of the method for isolating fungus zoosporangia from soil samples using a suspension of kaolin and 40% calcium chloride solution. This method is recommended by the European Plant Protection Organization’s diagnostic protocol. In order to remove the quarantine from the foci of potato wart disease, along with direct testing of the soil, it is necessary to conduct a laboratory biological test using a potato variety susceptible to scab. The purpose of the work is to test and improve the method for isolating S. endobioticum zoosporangia from soil samples using substances that are non-toxic for personnel (kaolin suspension and 40% calcium chloride solution), as well as elements of a laboratory biological soil test for the absence of viable fungal spores using susceptible potato variety. The article presents experimental data on the development of elements of biological testing to obtain reliable results. Application of the improved method with kaolin and calcium chloride was resulted to allocate the significant amount of target organism spores organism in all soil samples tested, including peaty soil. Detailing was carried out, the elements used in the experiments of the soil biological testing for infestation with S. endobioticum, which were used in the experiments are described in detail, as a result of which quarantine is removed from the foci of potato wart disease. Their usage will allow obtaining reliable results about soil contamination with viable S. endobioticum zoosporangias (damage to more than 50% of plants in positive control), on the basis of which they can be recommended for using in laboratory practice.

Correcting COVID-19 Vaccine Misinformation in Ten Countries
Authors: Porter Ethan , Wood Thomas J. , Velez Yamil Ricardo
Published: May 2022

What can be done to reduce misperceptions about COVID-19 vaccines? We present results from experiments conducted simultaneously on YouGov samples in 10 countries (N= 10 600), which reveal that factual corrections consistently reduce false beliefs about vaccines. With results from these 10 countries, we find that exposure to corrections increases belief accuracy by 0.16 on a 4-point scale, while exposure to misinformation decreases belief accuracy by 0.09 on the same scale. We are unable to findevidence that either misinformation or factual corrections affect intent to vaccinate or vaccine attitudes. Our findings on effect duration are less conclusive; when we recontacted participants two weeks later, we observed 39% of the initial accuracy increase, yet this result narrowly misses conventional thresholds of statistical significance ( p = 0.06). Taken together, our results illustrate both the possibilities and limitations of factual corrections. Evidence from 10 highly diverse populations shows that exposure to factual information reduces belief in falsehoods about vaccines, but has minimal influence on subsequent behaviours and attitudes.

Applications of exponential decay and geometric series in effective medicine dosage
Authors: Annamalai Chinnaraji
Published: May 2022

The problem facing by physicians is the fact that for most drugs there is a minimum concentration below which the drug is ineffective, and a maximum concentration above which the drug is dangerous. Thus, this paper discusses the effective medicine dosage and its concentration in bloodstream of a patient. For analysis of dose concentration and mathematical modelling of minimum and maximum concentration of a drug administered intravenously, the EDM (Exponential Decay Model) and GSF (Geometric Series and its Formula) are the powerful mathematical tools. In the present research study, these two mathematical tools were used to predict the dose concentration of a drug in bloodstream of a patient.
Do pre-schoolers with high touchscreen use show executive function differences?
Authors: Portugal Ana Maria , Hendry Alexandra , Smith Timothy John , Bedford Rachael
Published: May 2022

The recent increase in children’s use of digital media, both TV and touchscreen devices (e.g., tablets and smartphones), has been associated with developmental differences in Executive Functions (EF). It has been hypothesised that early exposure to attention-commanding and contingent stimulation provided by touchscreens may increase reliance on bottom-up perceptual processes and limit the opportunity for practice of voluntary (i.e., top-down) attention leading to differences in EF. This study tests the concurrent and longitudinal associations between touchscreen use (high use, HU ≥ 15 min/day; low use, LU < 15 min/day), and two components of EF (working-memory/cognitive-flexibility, and impulse/self-control), building explicitly on recent developmental models that point to a bidimensional structure of EF during toddlerhood and pre-school years. A longitudinal sample of 46 3.5-year-olds (23 girls) was tested on a battery of lab-based measures and matched at 12 months on a range of background variables including temperament. Touchscreen HU showed significantly reduced performance in lab-based Working Memory/Cognitive Flexibility, although this became non-significant when controlling for background TV. Impulse/Self-control was not significantly associated with touchscreen use but was negatively associated with non-child-directed television. Our results provide partial support for the hypothesis that using touchscreen devices might reduce capacity for top-down behaviour control, and indicate that broader media environment may be implicated in early executive function development. However, it may also be the case that individuals who are predisposed towards exogenous stimulation are more drawn to screen use. Future studies are needed to replicate findings, demonstrate causality, and investigate bidirectionality.

Plant-microbe symbiosis widens the habitability range of the Daisyworld
Authors: Muñoz Estefanía , Carneiro Jorge
Published: May 2022

Plant-microbe symbiosis is pervasive in the Earth's ecosystems and dates back to the early land colonisation by plants. Mutualistic partnership with rhizobia bacteria and mycorrhizal fungi promotes plant nutrition, growth and diversity, impacting important ecosystem functions. However, how the global behaviour and dynamical properties of an ecosystem are modified by plant-microbe symbiosis is still unclear. To tackle this theoretical question, we resorted to the Daisyworld as a toy model of the global ecosystem. We redesigned the original model to allow accounting for seed production, spreading, germination, and seedling development to mature seed-producing plants to describe how symbiotic and non-symbiotic daisy species differ in these key processes. Using the steady-state and bifurcation analysis of this model, we demonstrate that symbiosis with microbes broadens the habitability range of the Daisyworld by enhancing plant growth and/or facilitating plant access to otherwise uninhabitable nutrient-poor regions.
The CREp 36Cl exposure age calculator: development version “dev”

Published: May 2022

Chlorine-36 (36Cl) is currently the only in situ cosmogenic nuclide applicable in carbonates, Ca- and K-rich feldspars and aphyric silicate rocks. Because the production reactions of 36Cl are more numerous and complex than those of other cosmogenic nuclides (e.g. 10Be, 3He), comprehensive and user-friendly calculators are essential for routine application of 36Cl to Earth surface research questions. However, the existing, commonly used calculators are affected by several drawbacks, such as oversimplification of the muon production model, or the absence of choice regarding production rate parameters. Here, we present the novel 36Cl exposure age calculation tool in development, “CREp 36Cl dev”, which we have implemented as a new functionality in the existing cosmic-ray-exposure program CREp for 10Be and 3He exposure ages. Taking advantage of the most recently developed scaling, muon and low-energy neutron models, “CREp 36Cl dev” allows calculating surface exposure ages, providing several choices between scaling and muon models and production parameters. “CREp 36Cl dev” can be accessed at https://crep-dev.otelo.univ-lorraine.fr/#/.
Bringing Challenge to Coercion and the Status Quo
Authors: Thomas Alexandria L. , Brodhead Matthew Thornton
Published: May 2022

Despite the robust technology of positive reinforcement, coercive treatments continue to be used in the practice of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). In this paper, we define coercion and provide examples of its use in ABA practice. Then, we describe strategies, using a behavioral systems approach, to reduce coercive practices in the workplace. We conclude by challenging the reader to approach ABA practice in a manner that is free from coercion and fully adopts strategies rooted in positive reinforcement.
Consumer attitudes and willingness to pay for novel bio-based products using hypothetical bottle choice
Authors: Zwicker Maria Victoria , Brick Cameron , Gruter Gert-Jan , van Harreveld Frenk
Published: May 2022

Fossil-based plastic contributes to environmental pollution through carbon dioxide emissions during production and lifecycle. Bio-based plastic from renewable biomass retains functionality and can have a lower carbon foot- print. Any large-scale investment in bio-based plastic by the industry requires knowing that consumers are will- ing to purchase these products and learning how best to market them. This online study (N = 529) investigated psychological factors influencing preferences for three types of plastic bottles: a conventional fossil-based bottle (PET plastic), a visually identical bio-based bottle (PEF plastic), and a visually distinct bio-based bottle with a paper outer layer (paper PEF). The key outcomes were attitudes and willingness to pay. We also tested whether consumers' choices being visible to valued others affected these judgments. Participants reported positive atti- tudes towards bio-based plastic, were willing to pay more for it, and, irrespective of being observed, overwhelm- ingly preferred the bio-based bottles (96.8 %). We discuss how these findings may be applied by the industry to increase the uptake of bio-based plastic and other sustainable consumer alternatives.

A Black Mirror of Bright Ideas: Could Media Educate towards Positive Creativity?
Authors: Ceh Simon M. , Lebuda Izabela
Published: May 2022

With the media’s omnipresence, beneficial and detrimental effects on human behavior—including creativity—are being widely discussed. This essay presents potential benefits of passive and active media use for enhancing creative thinking and behavior. Based on the classic socio-cognitive theory of observational learning and stressing the importance of creative self-beliefs, certain types of media content and activities are highlighted to demonstrate how traditional and modern media can shape positive creativity—contributing to novel and valuable behavior from both individual and social points of view. The discussion proceeds to link media influence with creative skills, creative self-beliefs, and group creativity, emphasizing the necessity of media education and systematic scientific research on the topic.
Cultural Religion - Patterns of Contemporary Majority Religion

Published: May 2022

Denmark offers a unique context to explore patterns of religion among the majority population. In the research of contemporary religion in Europe, many concepts have been developed in the at-tempt to capture a complex pattern of affiliation, practices and beliefs among the majority popula-tions in Western Europe. In a Scandinavian context, however, one such concept, ‘cultural reli-gion’, has appeared in several contexts with various foci and emphases. This article analyses the use of ‘cultural religion’ and, more specifically, cultural Christianity through three different in-quiries. First, we examine data from qualitative focus group interviews. Building upon this study, we then analyse quantitative data from a survey followed by an analysis of these notions in public discourse. On the basis of these three case studies, we argue that the Danish sense of ‘cul-tural religion’ is a term denoting national identity, shared values, emotions and traditions. We then raise the question of how to use the terminology of 'cultural religion' in research on contem-porary religion.

Published: May 2022

Social relationships are pivotal for human beings. Yet, we still lack a complete understanding of the types and conditions of social relationships that facilitate learning among children. Here, we present the results of a study involving 855 elementary school children from 14 different public schools in Chile designed to understand their social learning strategies in classrooms. We mapped students' social relationships using a behavioral experiment--a non-anonymous social dilemma--that allows us to measure cooperation and infer reciprocal and asymmetrical relationships between peers. We implemented the experiment synchronously in each classroom using networked tablets and a friendly user interface to mitigate cognitive barriers and boost students' engagement. We found a positive and significant association between reciprocity and academic performance using regression models. This result holds after controlling for class attendance, sex, parents' education, social status, individual cooperative dispositions, and fixed effects per class group. Finally, using a difference in difference framework, we found robust evidence that reciprocity heightens academic performance by comparing two consecutive academic semesters. This effect is heterogeneous and is considerably more prominent for the top $20\%$ of students experiencing higher levels of reciprocity in their social relationships. We expect these results to inform cooperative learning interventions in elementary education.
Gender Differences in Teens’ Cohabitation, Marriage, and Childbearing Goals

Published: May 2022

The uneven recovery of the post-Recession years has affected family behaviors throughout the U.S. For teens, whose family building years are largely still to come, the broader shifts may have altered their expectations of cohabitation, marriage, or childbearing in the future. Further, given differences in gender socialization, teen girls and boys may think differently about their future family behaviors. In this project, we analyze cohabitation, marriage, and childbearing and expectations and intentions among teens age 15-19 by gender using National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) data, collected between 2011-2019. The vast majority of teens expected to marry (90% or higher) and intended to have children (between 85-90%) throughout the period, with less certainty around cohabitation (between 63-84%). Between 2011-2017, fewer teen girls than boys expected to cohabit or intended to have children overall during this period, but by 2017-2019, gender differences in childbearing intentions disappeared. There is little evidence that the shifts in childbearing and union formation in the post-Recession period have substantially weakened teens’ expectations towards family formation behavior, though it remains to be seen whether teens will actually cohabit, marry, or have children as they move through the life course.

Published: May 2022

This study investigates the impact of financial risk, current accounts, and financial crisis on FDI in the developing countries of ASEAN. More specifically, the study examines the effects of the inflation rate, FOREX, lending interest rate, and foreign debt as financial risk components. The panel data have been used from 1995 to 2019 in the region's eight selected countries, divided into two categories according to their income levels: the low-middle income (viz., Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, the Philippines, and Vietnam) and upper-middle-income (viz., Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand). The study showed that foreign debt, exchange rate, interest rate, and current accounts for lower-middle-income ASEAN countries are potential determinants of FDI. In contrast, inflation and the financial crisis are both found to be insignificant in determining FDI. For upper-middle-income ASEAN countries, the panel least square method revealed that current accounts, foreign debt, interest rate, inflation rate, and exchange rate are significant factors of FDI. Hence, like lower-middle-income countries, the financial crisis also has no effect on FDI in this region. However, the random effects method exhibited that all variables affect the FDI for upper-middle-income countries.

Authors: Niyonshuti Emmanuel
Published: May 2022

This paper seeks to identify the determining control factors that influence the fuel energy choice for lighting purposes in Rwanda by applying the Multinomial Logit Regression to the national representative survey at household level data. The study revealed that the households with higher income adopt the use the cleaner and modern fuel energy sources, confirming the hypothesis for the energy ladder. Not only household income exerting impact on the fuel energy choice for lighting, but also the other fuel choices that are the significant determining variables in Rwanda are the number of the rooms occupied by household, type of dwelling for household, age of the household head, whether the household head has the formal education, the household size, type of the habitat for the household and the location of the household. This paper suggests deployment and utilisation of solar potential for supplying the cleaner and modern fuel energy for lighting purposes in the remote area of Rwanda (Africa) which may be replicated in other developing countries in the world.

Published: May 2022

IntroductionFunctional outcome and quality of life (QoL) of patients will change following tibial plateau fracture fixation. There are limited studies evaluating functional and radiological outcomes following tibial plateau fixation in Nepal, and none has evaluated QoL. We aim to evaluate functional outcome and QoL in patients with tibial plateau fracture with a follow up period of more than two years.
MethodsThis was a cross sectional, observational study done at Dhulikhel Hospital, from August 2021 to January 2022. Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) functional outcome and World Health Organization QoL-8 (WHOQoL-8) questionnaire were filled by patients operated for tibial plateau fracture from 2011 to 2019. Compound fractures, untraceable patients, and those managed with casts were excluded from the study.
ResultsThere were 121 patients (male: female = 2.3:1) with a mean age of 37.1 years. Road traffic accidents (44.6%) were the most common mode of injury, and Schatzker type IV (30.6%) was the most common type of fracture. The average WOMAC score was 13.05±12.1 and the average WHOQoL-8 score was 30.24±4.1. The average WOMAC score in high-energy and low energy trauma patients were 17.07±12.29 and 8.21±10 respectively. The average WHOQoL-8 in high energy and low energytrauma patients were 29.28±3.59 and 31.38±4.38 respectively.
ConclusionsSurgical reduction and stable internal fixation of tibial plateau fractures with long term follow up has a good functional outcome and quality of life. High energy trauma is associated with poor functional outcome and quality of life.

Njihovi pozitivno/negativni utjecaji mijenjaju se tijekom različitih fenofaza i starosti sastojine te ovise o prisutnosti i brojnosti divljači, dostupnosti hranjiva i sl. Negativni utjecaji krupnih vrsta divljači predmet su brojnih istraživanja u svijetu i kod nas. U ovome istraživanju obrađene su štete koje uzrokuje jelen obični (Cervus elaphus L.) na kori mladih stabala poljskog jasena (Fraxinus angustifolia Vahl). Na dvije lokacije unutar poplavnog područja rijeke Save, u staništima gdje se preklapaju zajednice poljskog jasena i areal jelena običnog, izvršeno je istraživanje oštećenja na kori poljskog jasena. Rezultati pokazuju da guljenje kore mladih stabala jasena započinje odmah po uklanjanju zaštitne ograde kojim se sastojine štite u fazi oplodnih sječa. Oštećivana stabla jasena kreću se u rasponu prsnog promjera od 2 do 18 cm. Na stablima promjera 18 cm i više, zbog formiranja debljeg sloja mrtve kore, jeleni prestaju s guljenjem, a štete iz prethodnih godina postaju teže uočljive. Oštećivanja kore kreću od pridanka debla (vrata korijena) pa sve do 190 cm visine. Porastom promjera unutar raspona 2 – 18 cm, raste i stupanj prstenovanja odnosno kumulativna višegodišnja oštećenja. Na nekim lokacijama šteta je zabilježena na svim stablima poljskog jasena. Oštećenja nisu pronađena na hrastu lužnjaku (Quercus robur L.) i amorfi (Amorpha fruticosa L.) kao dvjema najzastupljenijim drvenastim vrstama pored jasena. Provedene analize kore ne upućuju da je nedostatak hranjiva, šećera ili minerala razlog zašto jeleni gule koru mladih jasenovih stabala.
Determination of some phenolic substances in six different populations of turkish hazel (Corylus colurna L.) leaves and comparison of phenolic fluctuation with water deficiency

Published: May 2022

Turkish hazel (Corylus colurna L.) is one of the naturally grown hazelnut species in Turkey. It can be easily separated from other hazel species with its thick single stem and tall appearance. It can be used in afforestation and erosion control studies due to low demand for habitat and strong root system. It contains substances with high medicinal value in its fruits and leaves. Hazel leaves have strong antioxidant activity due to their high phenolic content. Objective of the study was primarily to determine the individual phenolic constituents of six different population of Turkish Hazelnut and then to evaluate the effect of water deficiency stress generated by irrigation regime on phenolic constituents and photosystem II activity on these genotypes. Grafted plants were produced by taking scions from six different populations of Turkish Hazelnut (Oğuzlar, Erenler, Merkeşler, Seben, Güney Felakettin and Pelitcik). The study was started when the grafted seedlings were 7 years old in greenhouse. During the experiment (June and July), two different levels of irrigation were applied (W1: the soil was fully irrigated to reach field capacity in each irrigation; W2: 50% reduction of W1 irrigation water). After the application of two different irrigation regimes, leaves were collected for each month, dried, extracted with methanol and then quantitatively analyzed and compared for individual phenolic constituents (gallic acid monohydrate, caffeic acid, rutin hydrate, luteolin-7-O-β-D glucoside, kaempferol, rosmarinic acid, myricetin, quercetin, coumarin and apigenin) by using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with a diode array detector (DAD). Generally, rutin, kaempferol and luteolin were dominant individual phenols in methanol extracts of Turkish hazelnut leaves. Pelitcik population was noticeable source of rutin and kaempferol in June, and the halved irrigation regime significantly increased the levels of both phenols in July. Similarly, the highest total phenolic content was observed in the Pelitcik population in June and the halved irrigation regime significantly increased the total phenolic content in both months in this population. It was also determined to what extent water deficiency physiologically
affects the quantum efficiency (Fv/Fm) of photosystem II activity through chlorophyll fluorescence technique in hazelnut leaves. Generally, Fv/Fm value decreased with water deficiency. This study showed that water deficiency stress generally caused an increase in phenolic constituents in Turkish Hazel leaves and they may be proper natural sources of phenolic constituents with abiotic stress applications in pharmaceutical and food industry.

Studying the a0(980) tetraquark candidate using K0/sK± interactions in the LHC ALICE collaboration
Authors: Humanic Thomas
Published: May 2022

The a0(980) meson has been considered a tetraquark candidate for over 40 years, but its actual quark content remains in question. The ALICE Collaboration has carried out measurements of K0 SK ± interactions with pp collisions at √ s = 7 TeV and Pb-Pb collisions at √ sNN = 2.76 TeV to study the a0(980) using the method of two-particle femtoscopy. The a0(980) provides the final-state interaction between the kaons in the pair that is used in the femtoscopic analysis of these collisions. The measured femtoscopic source parameters are compared with source parameters extracted in identical-kaon measurements obtained in the same colliding systems. Using a simple geometric argument, our results are found to be compatible with the interpretation of the a0(980) having a tetraquark structure instead of that of a diquark.
Ethical literary criticism: The main concept and the notion of didactics
Authors: Zhenzhao Nie , Kaminskaya S. А.
Published: May 2022

Ethical literary criticism is a method of criticism that explores the didactic function of literature from the ethical viewpoint, and seeks to analyse and interpret literature from this perspective. The theory of ethical literary criticism describes natural selection as a theoretical prerequisite and philosophical foundation of ‘ethical selection.’ Teaching is seen as a method of ethical selection, whereas literature — as an instrument of enlightenment of humans, where a didactic effect is achieved through moral examples, models and guidance. The authors believe that the method of ethical literary criticism will benefit not only from a history of its own development, but also a detailed description of the arguments voiced by its opponents. The article examines one of the key themes in the theory of ethical literary criticism — the ethical choice, its theoretical premises and examples found both in world literature and in the Chinese literary tradition.

To this day, the ideas of A. Veselovsky’s Historical Poetics [Istoricheskaya poetika] have been confined to philological discourse. V. Shklovsky’s quip that ‘Aleksandr Veselovsky had no pupils, only admirers’ still rings true. The article represents the first attempt at analysing the metaplot of Eugene Onegin, Pushkin’s novel in verse, through the application of Veselovsky’s comparative method. The study seeks to resolve the problem of imitation, which occupied the mind of the novel’s creator, from the viewpoints of the author and his artistic doppelganger the poet. In this regard, a resolution of the dilemma ‘one’s own — someone else’s’ is reached by means of Veselovsky’s comparative approach, which owes its recent revival in scholarly discourse to works by I. Shaytanov. Assimilation of ‘someone else’s’ is explained in the context of Veselovsky’s concept of ‘crosscurrent’ discovered by the scholar during his study of Pushkin’s ideas on the subject. In her examination of ‘imitativeness,’ the author is guided by Pushkin’s understanding of it, as later embraced by Veselovsky; i. e., rather than as a mechanical act, it is viewed as an act of creation, whose purpose it is to reveal the uniqueness of a specific national culture.
The literary museum and the Korolenko family
Authors: Chernysheva D. S.
Published: May 2022

The article discusses the professional ties and personal friendship between V. Korolenko and V. Bonch-Bruevich, examining their correspondence dating back to 1892. Upon Korolenko’s death, Bonch-Bruevich, later to become director of the State Literary Museum, continues his correspondence with Korolenko’s daughter Sofia, discussing primarily, but not solely, the writer’s archive. Even though the family decided to entrust Korolenko’s archive to the Lenin Library, which boasted more appropriate preservation facilities than the Literary Museum, Bonch-Bruevich and Sofia Korolenko would exchange letters for many more years, enjoying each other’s trust and friendship. Bonch-Bruevich would support Korolenko’s family. After Bonch-Bruevich passed away, followed by Sofia two years later, the correspondence between the Literary Museum and the Korolenko Museum in Poltava continued until 1960; the letters were written by Evgeny Balabanovich, director of Chekhov Museum affiliated with the State Literary Museum, and his counterpart in Poltava, Lyubov Geishor, who ran the Korolenko Museum. The earliest letter quoted in the article dates from 1892, while the latest discovered epistle comes from 1960.
Golubkov, A., Ershova, I. and Chekalov, K., eds. (2021). Ad virum illustrem: In honour of Mikhail Leonidovich Andreev’s 70th birthday: A festschrift. Moscow: Delo. (In Russ.)
Authors: Markova M. V.
Published: May 2022

The review considers the festschrift celebrating the 70th birthday of the scholar M. Andreev. His colleagues and followers have co-authored a summary of his scholarship that showcases the body of knowledge of the contemporary humanities, where Andreev’s achievements feature prominently. The division of the monograph into sections entitled ‘The Theatre and the Theatrical,’ ‘Italy and Italian Studies,’ ‘Translation and Translators: Practice and Theory,’ and ‘The Poetics of Text’ is inspired by the academic interests of the renowned scholar — the book’s dedicatee, with whom every contributor engages, directly or indirectly, in an intellectual dialogue. The festschrift shows exceptional thematic diversity and richness, and covers purely theoretical as well as practical aspects of scholarly research. For example, the section on translation contains both theoretical studies and actual translations — in poetry and prose, from the Italian, English and French languages — supplied with detailed notes.
Livergant, A. (2021). Pelham Grenville Wodehouse. On the benefits of optimism. Moscow: AST: Redaktsiya Eleny Shuninoy. (In Russ.)
Authors: Polovinkina О. I.
Published: May 2022

The reviewer considers A. Livergant’s biography of P. G. Wodehouse a highly relevant book that succeeds in describing Wodehouse’s optimism and dedication to writing as a source of irrepressible enthusiasm for life even in the darkest of times. The biographer focuses on a carefully reconstructed story of Wodehouse’s radio broadcasts made from a Berlin-based studio as a turning point in the writer’s career that nearly ruined his reputation. This particular incident in the life of Wodehouse enables the author to start a conversation about confounding circumstances that often interfered with people’s lives in that tragic period and questions that do not yield to a simple answer. Livergant discusses various Russian translations of the writer’s novels and helps to form an idea about a ‘Russian’ Wodehouse. He includes a number of his own translations, completing the image of Wodehouse — the book’s protagonist with recognisable qualities of Jeeves and Wooster, and specifying his own standpoint as a biographer.
Closest thing to reality. Roman Senchin’s prose
Authors: Prantsova G. V. , Timakova А. А.
Published: May 2022

The article analyses the artistic evolution of contemporary writer R. Senchin — from one of his most successful novels The Yoltyshevs [Yoltyshevy] (2009) to later works such as The Runway [Polosa] (2012), a novella, and novels The Flood Zone [Zona zatopleniya] (2015) and Rain in Paris [Dozhd v Parizhe] (2018). It is suggested that each of the works in question are written in response to a 20th-c. classic: The Runway brings back memories of Shukshin’s short stories, The Flood Zone invokes Rasputin’s Farewell to Matyora [Proshchanie s Matyoroy], and Rain in Paris — Vampilov’s Duck Hunting [Utinaya okhota]. The critics primarily focus on the plots that are typical of classical Russian literature, e. g., the fate of a ‘small man’ or an eccentric (chudik). Drawing from the traditions of the ‘village’ and ‘urban’ prose, Senchin creates a modern version of the two. The authors consider Senchin a proponent of objective emotionality, one of the few modern successors of the classical tradition, and argue that his characters are true heroes of our time.
Semantic analysis of offensive language categories from existing annotated corpora
Authors: Kljun Maša , Teršek Matija , Žitnik Slavko
Published: May 2022

There exists a vast amount of different offensive language corpora for English language, annotation criteria and category naming. In this paper, we explore 21 different categories of offensive language. We use natural language processing techniques to find correlations between the categories based on seven different data sets. We employ several traditional (TF–IDF) and advanced (fastText, GloVe, Word2Vec, BERT, and other deep NLP methods) techniques to uncover similarities among different offensive language categories. The findings reveal that most of the categories are densely interconnected, while a two-level hierarchical representation of them can be provided. We also transfer the analysis to the Slovenian language and compare the findings between both researched languages.
Individual Dose Response and Radiation Origin of Childhood and Adolescent Thyroid Cancer in Fukushima, Japan
Authors: Kato Toshiko , Kato Toshiko , Yamada Kosaku
Published: May 2022

Background: After the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant accident in 2011, thyroid ultrasound screening was carried out as part of the Fukushima health management survey (FHMS) on all residents of ages≤18 years at the accident. The results of the 1st (2011-2013) and 2nd (2014-2015) round screening showed dozens of times excess thyroid cancer detection compared to the expected from the cancer registry. Both FHMS and the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) summarized that thyroid cancer cases detected in Fukushima were unlikely to be attributed to radiation exposure from the absence of dose-response relation. We elucidated the response of thyroid cancer incidence to individual external doses and found the dominant radiation effect on the increased thyroid cancer incidence after the accident.
Method: Association between average individual external dose based on FHMS basic survey and thyroid cancer incidence rate of dose groups was analysed by the linear regression analysis. Thyroid dose estimated in UNSCEAR 2020/2021 for 10-year-old children was used for comparison.
Results: Incidence proportions of dose groups in the 2nd round showed a linear response to mean individual external dose under 2.5 mSv range. A rough estimate of the excess relative risk per gray (Gy) was ERR/Gy =213 (95%CI: 129, 297) (p=0.02).
Conclusion: Childhood and adolescent thyroid cancer in Fukushima was associated with individual external dose estimated in FHMS basic survey. Increased childhood and adolescent thyroid cancer in Fukushima could most probably be attributed to radiation exposure from the nuclear accident.
MEDIAÇÃO NAS SERVENTIAS EXTRAJUDICIAIS
Authors: Saraiva Amanda da Cruz , Spengler Fabiana
Published: May 2022

A mediação é uma forma consensual de tratamento dos conflitos e é regulada pela Lei nº 13.140/2015, podendo administrá-los de duas formas, pela via judicial ou extrajudicial. No entanto, ambas são diferenciadas no que diz respeito ao local onde se resolve esses conflitos e à capacitação do terceiro que trata adequadamente as controvérsias. Do exposto, o presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar a mediação realizada nas serventias extrajudiciais e seus aspectos enquanto instrumento para tratar conflitos. Logo, busca-se responder ao seguinte questionamento: a mediação desenvolvida nas serventias extrajudiciais pode ser considerada uma mediação extrajudicial? A hipótese que responde ao problema constata que a mediação em questão se aproxima do modelo extrajudicial, já que tem o seu procedimento desenvolvido nas dependências do cartório extrajudicial, ou seja, fora das dependências do cartório e não em uma sala do tribunal. Para a elaboração da presente pesquisa, se utilizou o método de abordagem dedutivo e como técnicas de pesquisa a bibliográfica, a partir de doutrinas e artigos relativos ao assunto. Na conclusão, restou demonstrado que a mediação extrajudicial traduz um avanço dos meios consensuais de solução de conflitos, porém, em termos legislativos, é necessário refletir para se ter uma justiça mais abrangente e, ainda que seja uma iniciativa positiva e atual, deve ser mais bem trabalhada.
Rôle de la DHA pendant la grossesse
Authors: Hubinont C.
Published: May 2022

Pendant la grossesse, la prise des acides gras polyinsaturés à longue chaîne, principalement celle de l’acide docosahexaénoïque (DHA), est recommandée, mais les résultats de la littérature sont discordants. L’objectif de cette revue de la littérature est de clarifier le rôle du DHA sur le devenir materno-foetal. Des concentrations maternelles en DHA réduites sont associées à une incidence accrue de prééclampsie, de diabète gestationnel, de dépression du post-partum, d’accouchement prématuré et de restriction de la croissance foetale intra-utérine (RCIU). L’effet d’une supplémentation administrée préventivement sur ces complications n’est pas clairement démontré. Certains auteurs rapportent une amélioration des résultats, mais les récentes revues systématiques ne sont pas concluantes hormis pour le risque d’accouchement prématuré avant 34 et 37 semaines. La supplémentation en DHA réduirait significativement les complications liées au stress prénatal et le taux de mortalité périnatale. Chez les patients ayant des antécédents d’accouchements prématurés, une supplémentation ne semble pas diminuer la récurrence. En conclusion, même si les besoins en DHA sont augmentés pendant la grossesse et si des corrélations positives sont rapportées entre de faibles concentrations maternelles et une issue défavorable de la grossesse, il y a des résultats contradictoires sur l’efficacité d’une supplémentation en DHA. De nouvelles études randomisées avec des protocoles de dosages et de formes d’administration similaires de DHA sont nécessaires. En attendant le résultat de ces études, comme il s’agit d’une supplémentation avec peu d’effets secondaires, le DHA devrait être proposé chez les patientes enceintes avec un apport alimentaire insuffisant ou celles présentant des facteurs de risque.
