Published: May 2022

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the association between sociodemographic and occupational characteristics and the predictors of Moral Distress in nursing managers of Federal University Hospitals. Method: Cross-sectional study carried out with 126 nurses. Data were collected online between September 2019 and May 2020 applying the Brazilian Scale of Moral Distress in Nurses. The variables were analyzed using descriptive and bivariate statistics to compare the instrument mean responses in relation to sociodemographic and occupational characteristics (hospital size, region, age, gender, training and experience variables, employment relationships, and workload). Results: The highest levels of Moral Distress were experienced by nurses in large hospitals, with statistical significance among civil servants with job stability who have no management training, with less time of professional experience and with the highest weekly workload, with emphasis on predictive factors of “safe and qualified care”, “work conditions” and “work team”. Conclusion: Based on the above, it is understood that studies of this nature allow the generation of adaptive strategies to reduce the impacts of Moral Distress.

Authors: Yolanda Rangel-Flores Yesica , Magdalena Martínez-Villa Consuelo , Jiménez-Arroyo Vanesa
Published: May 2022

RESUMEN Objetivo: Analizar desde la perspectiva del feminismo descolonial, las relaciones de poder y opresión que viven enfermeras dentro de la sala de parto en un hospital de México. Método: Estudio cualitativo en el que se entrevistó a 15 enfermeras seleccionadas por muestreo teórico. Las entrevistas transcritas en totalidad fueron sometidas posteriormente a análisis de contenido. Resultados: La categoría central emergente fue “Relaciones de poder/opresión inter e intragénericas” y las formas más frecuentes de violencia fueron psicológicas y simbólicas. El género se confirmó como el condicionante estructural más importante de la opresión, atravesando los cuerpos y las identidades profesionales. Las condiciones que contribuyen al conflicto intragénero son la edad, la expertis y la especialización. Se documentaron tres recursos para el afrontamiento: indefensión, complicidad y resistencia. Conclusión: Es necesario desnaturalizar las formas de poder/opresión sustentadas en las desigualdades de género, pero también discutir otras condiciones que determinan relaciones de poder/opresión entre mujeres y colegas. Erradicar las violencias intragenéricas e integénericas es necesario para acceder a entornos laborales seguros y que potencien la creatividad para ejercer el cuidado.

Pikettyjevo shvaćanje ideologije i implikacije „pasivne revolucije“
Authors: Kursar Tonči , Jelušić Andrej
Published: May 2022

Autori istražuju Pikettyjevo shvaćanje ideologije na temelju njegove knjige „Kapital i ideologija“ (2020). Pokazuje se da on ideologiju shvaća kao samostalnu silu u povijesti. Osnovna je teza članka da kod Pikettyja nema kritičke političke teorije „prijelaznog razdoblja“ pa ne može uvjerljivo objasniti zašto kriza „hiperkapitalističke ideologije“ od 2008. naovamo ne vodi izravno u političku i ideologijsku transformaciju kojoj se nada (tzv. „participativni socijalizam). To se može razjasniti Gramscijevim shvaćanjem krize i pasivne revolucije. Pokazuje se da „transformizam“ (Gramsci) u krizi kapitalizma obnavlja osnovni konsenzus, ali da donja i niža srednja klasa nemaju previše utjecaja na „reorganizaciju države“. Zapravo te su klase danas više potaknute da sudjeluju u „platformskom populizmu“ (Morozov), nego u Pikettyjevom projektu stvaranja deliberativne „pravedne demokracije“. Taj populizam nastoji demokratizirati (a zapravo komercijalizirati) što je više moguće područja ljudskog djelovanja. S druge strane, postoje znakovi da će mainstream ljevica ići tragom onoga što Gramsci naziva (progresivni) cezarizam. Posrijedi je „polemičko- ideologijska formula“ kojoj treba, prije svega, politička akcija kako bi se iznova postigla „minimalna društvena homogenost“ (Monod) kao pretpostavka održivije demokracije. Autori pokazuju da ipak ima dokaza da je Pikettyjevo shvaćanje ideologije primjenjivo u suvremenoj politici.

Published: May 2022

Hereditary elliptocytosis is a group of red blood cell membrane disorders that are characterized by elliptical-shaped erythrocytes and shortened red blood cell survival [1]. It is due to protein abnormalities involving the horizontal skeletal network of the red cell membrane, including the spectrin dimer-dimer interaction or the spectrin-actin-protein 4.1 junction complex [2].
The adaptation of perceived collective continuity scale (cultural and historical continuity) into Turkish: A validity and reliability study
Authors: ELBAN Mehmet
Published: May 2022

Cultural and historical continuity is a subject that is discussed in many branches of science from the last periods of the Ottoman Empire to the present. However, to what extent individuals perceive cultural and historical continuity has been ignored in the domestic literature. In order to fill this gap in the literature, the research aims to adapt the perceived collective continuity scale (PCC) developed by Sani et al. (2007) to Turkish. The original form of the scale, which included twelve items, consists of two dimensions: perceived cultural continuity and perceived historical continuity. Exploratory (n=249) and confirmatory factor analyzes (n=295) were conducted on the Turkish version in order to test the validity and reliability. According to the results of the exploratory factor analysis, the total variance explained by the two-factor, 10-items Turkish scale form was found to be 72.48%. The fit indices of the first-level and second-level models related to the two-factor model in the original scale showed that the model was confirmed. In addition, the reliability values of the scale were found at a high level. These results revealed that the Turkish version of the scale shows the two-factor structure in its original form. In conclusion, the current research indicated that the Turkish form of the scale (PCC) is a valid and reliable measurement tool that measures individuals' collective continuity perceptions. It is believed that the scale (PCC) will contribute to future studies in many fields such as history education research, identity research, migration research, and social psychology by filling the gap in the domestic literature.
SDS PAGE Protocol -MChem Project v1
Authors: S Miah Ryhan
Published: May 2022

SDS-PAGE is a widely-used technique to analyse proteins. The system consists of two gels - a Resolving Gel (aka Running Gel) that separates proteins based on Molecular Weight (Mw), and a Stacking Gel. Proteins are aliquoted into wells and concentrated before resolution. The differences in the composition between the gels and between the electrophoresis buffer produce a system capable of finely resolving proteins based on Mw. This protocol describes the process of making a 15% Acrylamide Gel, a commonly used %age gel. The %age of Polyacrylamide in the gel governs the size of the pores, so the higher the %age of Acrylamide the smaller the sizes of the pores and therefore the smaller the species are that can be observed. Background: The tertiary structure of proteins means that proteins are often folded with a variety of geometries and due to the hydrophobic effect, their surfaces are usually coated with charged amino acids. Because of this, the molecular weight of folded proteins would be impossible to determine from their relative migration in an electric field. To solve this problem, proteins are resolved after converting proteins into a uniform unfolded state by the addition of SDS. SDS is an anionic surfactant, which binds to all the positive and coats the protein in a negative charge. SDS application causes the proteins to lose their tertiary structure and become linear. Mercaptoethanol is used in the loading buffer, which contributes to the linearisation of proteins by breaking disulphide bonds found in the tertiary structure. After becoming coated in a negative charge, the proteins will have a similar net negative charge and therefore a similar mass: charge ratio. As a result of this, the proteins would resolve depending on their mass, not their charge. Glycine is key to the discontinuous buffer system of SDS-PAGE. It is a Zwitterion, at low pH more Glycine molecules become cationic, while at high pH more molecules become anionic. When an electric field is applied, Glycinate anions move towards the stacking layer of a lower pH and become more neutrally charged. They move more slowly through the stacking layer toward the anode. In contrast, anions such as Chloride from Tris-HCl move more quickly toward the anode. Chloride and Glycine zwitterions hit the loading wells and create a steep and narrow voltage gradient between the Chloride ion front (Leading front) and the neutral Glycine zwitterion front (Trailing front). Protein samples are therefore concentrated into this zone and ushered through the stacking layer. In the resolving front, with the higher pH, the Glycine ions become negatively charged and with the Chloride ions, move toward the anion quickly. The ions are unaffected by the Acrylamide and deposit the proteins in a tight band on the resolving layer, with the smaller proteins having moved down the furthest/quickest.

Childlessness and Barriers to Gay Parenthood in Czechia
Authors: Hašková Hana , Maříková Hana , Sloboda Zdeněk , Pospíšilová Kristýna
Published: May 2022

This mixed‐methods article focuses on childlessness and barriers to parenthood among non‐heterosexual men in Czechia. On the quantitative sample of 419 men (165 gays, 125 bisexuals, and 129 heterosexuals with same‐sex romantic/sexual attraction), recruited on a representative online panel, we map the parenting desires, intentions, and perceived barriers to parenthood. Our analysis identifies a substantial group of gay men without parenting desires and intentions compared to heterosexuals and bisexuals, and the lack of legal recognition of same‐sex families as a crucial barrier to gay parenthood. The qualitative enquiry, based on semi‐structured interviews with 23 self‐identified gay men aged 25 to 47 years, explores how they reflect on (not) becoming parents and contextualises those reflections. The deployed concept of “parental consciousness” captures the variety of considered pathways to gay parenthood and proves itself useful in understanding the low parenting desires and a generational shift among Czech gay men. We argue that men able to come out in their early adulthood in the post‐socialist context tend to have more diversified perspectives on possible pathways to parenthood. Among gaymen without children, we identified three distinct perceptions of the state: given childlessness, chosen childfree life, and a life stage/indecision. The informants pursuing parenthood have seen identity‐specific barriers to parenthood as crucial, which is discussed in the context of state selective regulations of the relational lives of persons with non‐normative identities. Although Czech gay men’s parental consciousness has increased, legal conditions remain crucial for increasing their real‐life options.
A clinical update on the molecular pathogenesis of gestational diabetes mellitus and its consequences
Authors: Vijayam Balaji , Balaji Taarika , Balaji Madhuri S , Veerasamy Seshiah , Ganesan Vinothkumar
Published: May 2022

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is becoming more common all over the world, mainly to an increase in maternal obesity. There have been a number of approaches to screening for and diagnosing GDM described, however there is no consensus on which methods are the most effective. For the mother, developing fetus, and children born to mothers with GDM, GDM poses severe short and long-term health hazards. Macrosomia, shoulder dystocia, delivery trauma, and hypoglycemia in the immediate postpartum period are all short-term dangers for the fetus. Increased rates of childhood and adulthood obesity, as well as a higher cardio metabolic risk, are long-term hazards for offspring born to women with GDM. More investigations on the aetiology and underlying mechanisms of gestational diabetes and its complications on the long-term health of offspring are needed to offer a foundation for creating effective therapies during this important period with the goal of promoting lifelong health and well-being.
A prospective observational study on posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome in COVID-19 eclampsia patients in tertiary care hospital
Authors: Bhargavi Saikam , Janaki V
Published: May 2022

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is associated with neurological symptoms in one third of COVID-19 patients which is attributed to its hypercoagulable state or its neurotropism which is not yet defined. PRES (Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome) is a rare clinico- neuro-radiological entity which can be associated with multiple clinical conditions and was observed frequently with preeclampsia and eclampsia patients. Neuro- imaging is important to diagnose PRES.

This study is a prospective observational study in COVID -19 positive eclampsia patients at Gandhi Hospital, Telangana during March 2021-august 2021.

Among 55 COVID-19 positive eclampsia patients, 17 had PRES out of which 64.7% had antepartum eclampsia. Seven patients had severe COVID-19 disease out of which five patients required noninvasive ventilation and two patients required invasive ventilation. In my study, PRES was more common among primigravida, common age group 21-25 years. Mean SBP/DBP is 177±12 / 110±6 mm Hg respectively. Incidence of Thrombocytopenia is more in COVID-19 eclampsia patients. COVID -19 related complications are seen in 41.17% whereas eclampsia related maternal complications are seen in 29.4%. There was one maternal death and perinatal mortality was 17.64%.

COVID -19 positive eclampsia patients have more predilection to PRES. Diagnosis, treatment of eclampsia in COVID-19 should be evaluated and treated for PRES. Regular antenatal visits and regular bp monitoring can prevent eclampsia and its complications and can reduce maternal morbidity, mortality. Use of anticoagulants and corticosteroids may fasten the recovery rate.

A rare case of cervical ectopic pregnancy
Authors: Pandya Manish R , Modesara Jeel A
Published: May 2022

Cervical ectopic pregnancy is the implantation of conceptus in the cervical glands and fibrous cervical wall below the level of internal os. It is a rare and potentially life threatening condition associated with a high rate of maternal morbidity and accounts for less than 1% of all ectopic gestation. It may turn into an obstetric emergency, if not detected and treated early due to risk of severe hemorrhage. This entity can be diagnosed at early gestational age with help of ultrasonography and conservative approach of management help to preserve fertility.

A 32- year female treated for secondary infertility via in-vitro fertilization(IVF) and embryo transfer(ET) with previous three dilation and curettage following previous missed conceptions presented with vaginal bleeding and Transvaginal ultrasonography revealed a cervical ectopic pregnancy of 5 weeks and 3 days with cardiac activity present. She was managed successfully by PGF2 alpha analogue administration preceding dilation and curettage of endocervical canal and cervical packing with hemocoagulase soaked gauze. Complete hemostasis was achieved and discharged after an uneventful hospital stay.

Endocervical curettage is one of the minimally invasive management strategy in cervical ectopic pregnancy with cardiac activity and sufficient for full recovery with preservation of reproductive capacity. Our case demonstrates a new strategy combining systemic intramuscular prostaglandin and curettage for treatment of cervical ectopic pregnancy which may provide an efficient and safe alternative to embryocides at early gestational age.
FPGA Implementation of Fixed-Point Model for a Single-Phase AC-DC Converter with Unity Power Factor
Authors: Ballouti Adel , Belhaouchet Nouri , Benhamadouche Abdelouahab Djoubair
Published: May 2022

This paper presents a design of digital control based on a fixed-point model for an application of a single phase AC-DC boost Converter with a high power factor and low current distortion. The system uses a simple closed-loop control with a slow voltage loop (outer loop) to stabilize the output DC bus voltage at the required level and a fast current loop (inner loop) to achieve input power factor correction. The digital control uses a fixed-point structure that improves the control accuracy without increasing the number of arithmetic operations and does not require specific running conditions. The behavior of the system is fully verified by using a digital simulation under Matlab/Simulink environment and experimentally with an implementation in real-time using Xilinx ISE 14.7 software, hardware description language VHDL, Xilinx FPGA ML605 board, and EVAL-AD7656 evaluation board for high-speed analog-to-digital conversion. The obtained results show a good agreement between experiments and simulations for steady-state and transient-responses.
An Improved Sensorless Control of Induction Motor Using ADALINE: Theory and Experiment
Authors: Ghlib Imane , Messlem Youcef , Chedjara Zakaria
Published: May 2022

This article develops a new observer to achieve highly speed estimation for induction motor control. Its principle consists of estimating flux and speed separately, by using linear Luenberger as flux observer and intelligent PI controller as rotor speed estimator. Considering that is generally challenging to established proper PI parameters, the ADALINE algorithm is integrated as a trainable module to automatically calculate the KP and the KI gains in each iteration during all operation induction motor. This algorithm helps to search on the one hand the best regulation of the controller in real-time, taking into account the objectives to achieve (an accurate estimation) and the respect constraints (heavy calculation). On the other hand, it makes it possible to improve the adaptive Luenberger estimation problem in the unobservable zone (low speed). The experimental comparison of the observers demonstrates the visible improvement of the enhanced observer. It can converge to real speed in a short time with less static and transient error.
Wireless Sensor Network Based on Kalman Filter

Published: May 2022

This paper proposes a methodology for prediction traffic flow at the Data Plane (DP) base on SDN and reduce data error based on Kalman filter. This methodology, will help the overall network for forecasting the next step in the packet flow, and therefore lowering the risk of over fitting that may occur. According to the simulation findings, the SDN controller may enhance network Quality of Service (QoS) by reducing packet loss and increasing buffer usage ratios. However, the proposed system used four sensor nodes (such as temperature, humidity) for transmitted data by the NRF24 to the sink node to collected data and upload by ESP32 to the Local cloud by using Wi-Fi network. In this work, one Internet Protocol (IP) to four sensor nodes lowers the data rate to 60%, and the energy consumption by the sensing nodes is lowered by 20% for that using one IP instead using five IP reduce the size of the transmitted packet.
INTERPRETATION OF THE RESULTS OF QUANTITATIVE GENETIC ANALYSIS BASED ON THE APPROXIMATION OF THE KINETIC CURVE OF THE POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION IN REAL TIME
Authors:   Institute for Analytical Instrumentation of RAS,  Saint Petersburg, Russia, Bulyanitsa A. L. , Esikova N. A. , Evstrapov A. A.
Published: May 2022

A quantitative polymerase chain reaction in real time (real time PCR) has been implemented on polymer microfluidic devices made of polycarbonate and polypropylene. The threshold cycle is determined based on the inflection point of the first-order logistic growth function, which reliably approximates the PCR curve in the absence of interfering factors, for example, the presence of bubbles in the reaction chamber. Use of statistical criteria (generalized Student's criterion, one-way analysis of variance) revealed the insignificance of the influence of the polymer type on the estimation of the position of the threshold cycle in terms of the previously selected algorithm for its search. When using an alternative algorithm for finding the threshold cycle based on the plotting of a tangent to the kinetic curve, in some cases there is a significant influence of the polymer type on the estimation of the position of the threshold cycle and, as a consequence, on the result of quantitative analysis. Proposed and discussed are algorithms for detecting bubbles in the reaction chamber based on the detection of a discrepancy in the measurement sequence associated with both estimates of the approximating dependence's parameters and the characteristics of the time series formed by approximation errors.

Authors: Gu Rui , Jia Zhenyu , Ma Huailin , Liu Yaling , Zhang Yuehua , Chang Bingwen , Shi Fengling
Published: May 2022

Background: The Alxa Region in Inner Mongolia, northwest China is a desert grassland area. Wild alfalfa growing in this area is a precious wild plant resource that can provide resources for improving the stress resistance of alfalfa varieties. Alfalfa is a cross-pollinated plant and its genes are commonly heterozygous. Therefore, establishing a complete tissue culture regeneration system for a single plant is an effective method of protecting wild plant resources. This study used the bud and leaf of wild alfalfa from the Alxa Region as explants to establish an efficient and stable tissue culture regeneration system. Methods: Two kinds of wild alfalfa tissues were selected as explants. Different concentrations and types of plant growth hormones and regulators were tested, to determine the optimal medium for callus induction, differentiation and rooting culture, including 6-Benzylaminopurine (6-BA), Kinetin (KT), 2, 4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2, 4-D), Naphylacetic acid (NAA), Indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and activated carbon (AC). Result: The callus induction rate was 93.3% when the bud of wild alfalfa was used as an explant for propagation. With a basic medium (Murashige and Skoog medium with Ca2+, Mg2+ and Mn2+ halved) and hormone regulator (6-BA, KT, NAA, AC), the differentiation rate and rooting rate reached as high as 66.67% and 93.33%, respectively. When leaves were used as explants, the callus induction rate and differentiation rate were 100% and 73.33%, respectively. In the rooting culture process, adding IBA (0.2 mg/L) and AC (0.5 mg/L) to the medium improved the rooting rate of wild alfalfa. Both buds and leaves can be used as explants for plant tissue regeneration and culture, which can help expand and preserve wild alfalfa resources.

Published: May 2022

The aim for this study is to understand the relationship between consumer attitude towards foreign product on e-commerce which analyzed through consumers ethnocentrism and product needs on purchase intention for Chinese products on Tokopedia. With globalization and technological advances, it is undeniable that e-commerce has become part of living to fulfill daily basis needs. Tokopedia, an Indonesian e-commerce under William Tanuwijaya as CEO has become one of the influences in Indonesian economy. However, even though Indonesia was mentioned to be Tokopedia’s largest contributor, Tokopedia falls behind Shopee, a Singapore e-commerce, that ranked number one in terms of monthly web visits and GMV (Gross Merchandise Value). The actual research was conducted on 178 respondents by using online questionnaires and the sampling technique was nonprobability purposive sampling. The subjects of this research are the people who have shopped in Tokopedia using the mobile app, and have the intention to shop again in the future. The data are processed through validity, reliability, and statistical analysis and performed using SmartPLS software. The results of the study indicate that Consumer Ethnocentrism have positive influences towards Attitude towards Foreign Products, this statement against previous research which states that the relationship between these hypotheses is negative.

A microwave electric field scattering by a dielectric object had been developed to identify the type of a milk. A simple geometric tomographic system is applied. The milk is placed in a cylindrical tube and emitted with a microwave signal which is described in term of a harmonic function. The scattering field anywhere outside the cylinder is quantifed analitycaly in which the unknown coefecients of the analytic function are determined at the surface of the cylinder. Three different type of milks, whole milk, UHT, and skim milk are studied. The incident fields are scanned from 1 GHz to 20 GHz and the scattering fields due to the illumination are quantified in three different locations around the objects. The study shows that the scattering field pattern depent on the the type of the milk. The whole milk produces the lowes and highest magnitude of the scattering field at 2.4 GHz and 4.5 GHz respectively. These frequency points are higher that that produce by the UHT and skim milk.
Image of the World and devaluation of moral values: Aspects of the problem
Authors:   Southern Federal University, Kolin Yuri V.
Published: May 2022

The article analyzes the dangers of scientific and technological progress for society. It is argued that the relativization of moral values in modern society has its source in relation to man as an object, which leads to primitivization and disintegration of the individual. The article draws a distinction between a moral and a civilized person, criticizes the theoretical foundations of the concepts of posthumanism, transhumanism, radical constructivism and constructive alternativism from the standpoint of the concept of moral values as a manifestation of the substantiality of the individual and mass consciousness in general. The moral sphere is considered in the article as a manifestation of the substantiality of human consciousness, the image of the world based on the relationship to the Other as a subject. The article discusses the process of formation of the moral sphere of society as the basis of the image of the world, a manifestation of the substantiality of human consciousness, its irreducibility to schemes and attitudes imposed within the framework of private interests.
Anthropological aspects and social consequences of the synthesis of Human and new Technologies
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Vantyaeva Anastasia S.
Published: May 2022

Over the past 70 years there has been a big leap in the development of the technosphere. New technologies have been able to take root in various public spheres and continue to strengthen their positions more and more every day. Such rapid development of technologies entails a large number of changes, and some of them may even affect human nature. This can happen due to the development of biotechnologies, particularly in the development of genetic engineering. There are supporters who believe that technology will be able to transform a person into a more perfect form, increase his physical and intellectual capabilities, i.e. make him an overman. Such ideological representatives are, for example, transhumanists. But there are also those who believe that transformations are completely unethical and even dangerous both for human and for the future of the whole society. The purpose of the article was to highlight various approaches describing the pros and cons of the merger of man and technology, to highlight the main consequences to which this merger can lead, and to describe real cases of improving human life or the human body due to the achievements of science and technology.
Dialogue as a method of developing thinking and acquiring knowledge
Authors:   Herzen State Pedagogical University, Chernyakova Natalia S. ,   Northern People Institute
Published: May 2022

The article analyzes the role of dialogue as a method of developing thinking and acquiring knowledge. Based on the study of the essence of thinking as the highest form of reflection of reality, the conclusion is substantiated that no technical means can replace dialogue as the main method of disclosure, analysis and understanding of the ideal content of material carriers. The dialogue is a necessary condition for the formation of knowledge, since only in the process of a real dialogue of thinking subjects the ideal content – thought — is continuously encoded and decoded in the language of communication, leaving in consciousness a trail of questions about the meaning of what was said. Dialogue as a method of developing thinking and acquiring knowledge is not just a conversation or an alternation of monologues. Dialogue is a process of continuous movement of the ideal content of consciousness of the subjects leading the dialogue to the emergence of a new – conceptual — level of understanding of the subjects studied; to realize one’s own opinion not as arbitrariness or repetition of other people’s statements, but as the result of a long, complex and strenuous process of accumulation, processing and rethinking of already existing knowledge.

COVID-Factors in the Constitution of Social Reality in Scientific Discussions
Authors:   Kosygin State University of Russia, Zaitseva Marina L. , Girnik Mariya N.
Published: May 2022

The purpose of the article is to problematize the study of COVID-factors of the constitution of social reality in scientific discussions. The object of the study is the theoretical discourse on the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, represented by a set of scientific publications eLIBRARY, Publons, Mendeley, Google Scholar, Semantic Scholar, Sage, Springer, Taylor & Francis, Wiley. This choice is due to the openness of the data: the studied segment of scientific texts did not pass the selection of scientometric optics, remaining part of the social discourse. This is important because the authors focus on the COVID-factors of the constitution of social reality. The study is supported by general theoretical methods of typology and comparison. Mathematical methods of statistical data processing were used as instrumental ones. In the logic of the study, it can be argued that the high degree of subjectivation of COVID-factors for the constitution of social reality in Russia implies in the future a greater adaptability of society to such shocks, since the degree of subjectivation of the threat is associated with the degree of further objectification of the constitutive foundations of social development. In particular, a feature of the domestic scientific discourse has been established, expressed by a significant increase in publications with the attribute “COVID” in 2020–2021, compared with such traditional attributes of social discourse as: “economy”, “education”, “culture”, “politics”.

Is there any life offline, or On the problems of nomination non-virtual reality
Authors:   Kant Baltic Federal University, Shkapenko Tatyana M. , Milyavskaya Natalia B. ,   Kaliningrad Regional Institute of Education
Published: May 2022

The paper is devoted to analysis of the lexical units used in English and Russian for the purpose of nominating virtual and non-virtual reality. Special attention is paid to the study of ways to designate human life activity outside of computer-mediated technologies. It is proved that the presence of only one form of human life activity for many millennia did not cause a nominative need to assign a specific characteristic to a phenomenon that has no ontological alternative. The emergence of a technologized virtual environment has provoked the need to differentiate two forms of modern life and two chronological layers: the era before the Internet and after it’s invention. As a result, the adjective online, which characterizes the secondary form of existence, was used as a relative onomasiological base for naming genetically and chronologically primary forms of being. The initial technological dichotomy online / offline has undergone semantic widening, acquiring the status of a global ontological dichotomy online-life / offline-life. In the recent period of time, a number of synonymous units have appeared in English and Russian, denoting virtual and real forms of life activity. In addition to borrowings and calques translated from English, Russian widely uses its own language tools and original nominative techniques, among which the processes of neosemantization and univerbalization are most productive.
