La chute dans la conscience. Animalité, philosophie et cognition dans l’oeuvre de Camus
Authors:   Université de Salamanca (España), Gamoneda Lanza Amelia
Published: January 2021

Camus’s work contains «blind and instinctive» aspects that the author himself pointed out as insufficiently considered by the critics. The questioning of conscience from a cognitive and moral point of view runs through his entire production, often trying to situate itself in the uncertain division that separates and brings together the animal and man. This epistemic critical axis –which straddles philosophy and the cognitive sciences– will serve in this article to analyze the articulation between L'Étranger and La Chute that makes Clamence into Meursault’s reverse. The nostalgia for an innocent paradise, the ethical and moral problem of violence and the consideration of death receive in Camus’ thought a cognitive treatment that links the phenomenological phylosophie of his time with the current biology of consciousness or evolutionary anthropology.
Fragmentation narrative et structuration identitaire dans vi de Kim Thúy
Authors:   Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (España), Sánchez Hernández Ángeles
Published: January 2021

"In this article we propose to analyse the work of the Quebec writer of Vietnamese origin Kim Thúy and, in particular, her latest novel: vi (2016). Belonging to two cultures is always present in her narrative. The singular element in her stories rests on the narrative construction and on the force of the word to evoke the decisive facts of a life. Events, past and present, which are marked by this separation into short chapters that present intermittent and apparently dispersed situations but which, by gradually superimposing themselves, present a coherent unity with full meaning that adjusts structurally to the experiences narrated. We study the repercussions of this choice in her publications in which fragmentation composes the identity of the narrator and becomes a distinctive element of the writer's poetics"
Communicative Strategies and Tactics in the Spanish King Felipe VI’s Public Speeches
Authors: Selivanova Irina V.
Published: January 2021

Nowadays the ways to influence an audience by the rhetoric of public speeches are widely studied. The analysis of speech influence in institutional status-orientated discourse is a promising and actively developing area in modern Linguistics. The institutional discourse of the Spanish monarchy plays an important role in social relations in modern Spain. However, its features still have not been described in detail in Roman studies, especially in the linguopragmatic perspective. Moreover, due to the current socio-economic and political context it is extremely important to analyze what linguistic instruments Felipe VI uses to save the image of the Spanish Crown. The present paper deals with the public speeches of the Spanish King issued from 2014 to 2020 and focuses on the “external” addressee. Felipe VI’s messages represent a fundamental resource to create a favorable image of Spain in the international arena and to convince the world community of the necessity for peaceful coexistence and international cooperation. The speeches, which are ideologically driven and politically motivated, are analyzed in the context of linguo-pragmatics. The theoretical value of this paper is in providing an exhaustive analysis of speech strategies and tactics used in the King’s messages delivered abroad. Firstly, the country’s presentation strategy allows the monarch to emphasize that Spain belongs to the European Union and plays a crucial role in the international arena while making decisions and fighting challenges. Secondly, the emotional strategy is used to create a trustworthy atmosphere (mainly by appealing to the sense of pride) and to give moral support to Europeans and other nations. Thirdly, the interpretation strategy may be considered a conventional resource used to strengthen the institution of the monarchy in the eyes of the international community. Finally, agitation and argumentative strategies are employed to convince the addressee of the necessity to strengthen international cooperation.
Evidence and Decision – Making at the Initiation Stage Criminal Cases of Economic Crimes
Authors: Lubin Alexander F. , Lubin Sergey A.
Published: January 2021

This article is devoted to the initial stage of criminal proceedings – the initiation of criminal proceedings on the grounds of an economic crime. This stage does not boil down to the formal act of issuing the relevant resolution, but includes the subject and procedures for proving the so-called pre-investigation check. Moreover, according to the current legislation, the appointment and production of forensic examinations, the selection of samples for a comparative study, etc. are legal during this period. Such verification may result in a system of evidence to make an informed criminal procedural decision to initiate a criminal case or evidence for a preventive response to signs of an economic crime. The authors focus on some debatable issues of the criminal procedural status of the leading subject of the criminal case – the investigator (interrogator). This raises the acute problem of the gap between the functions of proving and making criminal procedural decisions.
The Procedure of the Court Appealing the Actions of Officials Carrying out Operative-Investigative Activity: Regulation Problems and Perspectives of Improvement of Legal Procedure
Authors: Semenchuk Vasilii V.
Published: January 2021

The article deals with the issues of legal regulation and the actual implementation of the procedures for appealing against the actions of officials carrying out operative-investigative activity. It is noted that there is uncertainty in the choice of the type of legal proceedings (criminal or administrative) also as a level of the court for such complaints (court of the subject of the Russian Federation or district court). Another problem is related to the actual assignment responsibility for the plaintiffs to substantiate complaints about covert operative-investigative measures which, as a rule, leads to a refusal to consider them. The authors are invited to introduce a universal appeal procedure in the framework of administrative proceedings. The secret nature of the operative-investigative activity does not allow the plaintiff to fully substantiate the essence of his claims, so this task may be performed by the court. In order to preserve information constituting a state secret, it is necessary to introduce a closed procedure for dealing with such complaints.

Scale-Dependent Friction-Coverage Relations and Non-Local Dissipation in Surfactant Monolayers
Authors: Gao Hongyu , Ewen James , Hartkamp Remco , Müser Martin H. , Dini Daniele
Published: January 2021

Surfactant molecules, known as organic friction modifiers (OFMs), are routinely added to lubricants to reduce friction and wear between sliding surfaces. In macroscale experiments, friction generally decreases as the coverage of OFM molecules on the sliding surfaces increases; however, recent nanoscale experiments with sharp atomic force microscopy (AFM) tips have shown increasing friction. To elucidate the origin of these opposite trends, we use nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulations and study kinetic friction between OFM monolayers and an indenting nanoscale asperity. For this purpose, we investigate various coverages of stearamide OFMs on iron oxide surfaces and silica AFM tips with different radii of curvature. We show that the differences between the friction-coverage relations from macroscale and nanoscale experiments are due to molecular plowing in the latter. For our small tip radii, the friction coefficient and indentation depth both have a non-monotonic dependence on OFM surface coverage, with maxima occurring at intermediate coverage. We rationalise the non-monotonic relations through a competition of two effects (confinement and packing density) that varying the surface coverage has on the effective stiffness of the OFM monolayers. We also show that kinetic friction is not very sensitive to the sliding velocity in the range studied, indicating that it originates from instabilities. Indeed, we find that friction predominately originates from plowing of the monolayers by the leading edge of the tip, where gauche defects are created, while thermal dissipation is mostly localised in molecules towards the trailing edge of the tip, where the chains return to a more extended conformation.
Developing Martini Coarse-Grained Nitrogen Gas Model for Lipid Nanobubble Simulations
Authors: Tian Fujia , Lin Xubo
Published: January 2021

By integrating the advantages of lipids’ biocompatibility and nanobubbles’ potent physicochemical properties, lipid nanobubbles show a great potential in ultrasound molecular imaging and biocompatible drug/gene delivery. However, under the interactions of the ultrasound, lipid nanobubbles may fuse with the cell membrane, changing the local membrane component and re-distributing encapsulated gas molecules into the hydrophobic region of the cell membrane, which may greatly affect the dynamics of certain membrane proteins and thus functions of cells. Although molecular dynamics simulation provides a useful computational tool to reveal the related molecular mechanisms, the lack of coarse-grained gas model greatly restricts this purpose. In the current work, we developed a Martini-compatible coarse-grained gas model based on the results of previous experiments and atomistic simulations, which could be used for lipid nanobubble simulations with complicated lipid components. By comparing the results of well-designed lipid nanobubble, lipid bi-monolayer and lipid bilayer simulations, we further revealed the role of membrane curvature and interleaflet coupling in the liquid-liquid phase separation of lipid membranes. It is worth mention that our developed coarse-grained nitrogen gas model can also be used for other gas-water interface systems such as pulmonary surfactant, which may overcome the possible artefacts arising from the usage of vacuum for gas phase.

Synergistic Inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 Replication using Disulfiram and Remdesivir
Authors: Chen Ting , Fei Cheng-Yin , Chen Yi-Ping , Sargsyan Karen , Chang Chun Ping , Yuan Hanna S. , Lim Carmay
Published: January 2021

The SARS-CoV-2 replication and transcription complex (RTC) comprising nonstructural protein (nsp) 2-16 plays crucial roles in viral replication, reducing the efficacy of broad-spectrum nucleoside analog drugs such as remdesivir and in evading innate immune responses. Most studies target a specific viral component of the RTC such as the main protease or the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. In contrast, our strategy is to target multiple conserved domains of the RTC to prevent SARS-CoV-2 genome replication and to create a high barrier to viral resistance or evasion of antiviral drugs. We show that clinically-safe Zn-ejector drugs, disulfiram/ebselen, can target conserved Zn2+-sites in SARS-CoV-2 nsp13 and nsp14 and inhibit nsp13 ATPase and nsp14 exoribonuclease activities. As the SARS-CoV-2 nsp14 domain targeted by disulfiram/ebselen is involved in RNA fidelity control, our strategy allows coupling of the Zn-ejector drug with a broad-spectrum nucleoside analog that would otherwise be excised by the nsp14 proofreading domain. As proof-of-concept, we show that disulfiram, when combined with remdesivir, can synergistically inhibit SARS-CoV-2 replication in Vero E6 cells. We present a mechanism of action and the advantages of our multi-targeting strategy, which can be applied to any type of coronavirus with conserved Zn2+-sites.
La pandemia como elemento de la frustración del fin del contrato

Published: January 2021

La República Argentina ha contemplado en su Código Civil y Comercial la aplicación de la teoría de la frustración de los propósitos, figura recogida del derecho anglosajón. Este concepto ha sido adaptado a la realidad económica argentina y supone que al haber una alteración de carácter extraordinario, sobreviniente y posterior a las circunstancias existentes al tiempo de la celebración de un contrato se pierda el interés en dicha prestación, y esto devendría en una readecuación del contrato. Enmarcados en la situación actual de la pandemia, esta norma puede ser de gran utilidad.

Impact of Leather Toxicity on People and Places: A Review
Authors: Satish Kumar Sharma  , Pankaj Bhatt
Published: January 2021

The production of the most luxurious form of textile, i.e. Leather, has always been associated with environmental toxicity. The royal texture and firm durability of leather demands animal as well as environmental sacrifices. The process of leather production not only introduces chemicals in the environment but also causes undeniable animal abuse. The leather manufacturing process involves beam house operations and tanning procedures involving toxic chemicals rich in heavy metals and carcinogens. The effluents from the leather tanneries expose these toxins into the environment, posing a threat to different life forms. The increased toxin load from tannery effluents has percolated the food chain, thus inducing toxicity in human beings. The effect of lather manufacturing has been mostly observed in occupational regions displaying evidence of severe respiratory diseases, gastrointestinal tract infections, skin infections, chromium toxicity in biological fluids and high risk of morbidity. Different studies have been performed on regions receiving tannery discharge indicating toxin exposure affecting agricultural land, water systems, plants and aquatic life forms. The present study reviews sources of toxicity in the leather manufacturing process and describes bioassays that can be utilized to study the effect of leather toxicity on the ecosystem. The study mentions examples of sustainable alternatives and waste management for tanneries that can be explored to provide an insight for better future of leather industries.
Water vole Arvicola amphibius (Linnaeus, 1758) (Arvicolidae) as an agent of biological control of a tree snail Arianta arbustorum (Linnaeus, 1758) (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Helicidae)
Authors: Шиков Евгений Викторович
Published: January 2021

Древесная улитка Arianta arbustorum, в последние десятилетия распространившаяся в центре Русской равнины, стала опасным вредителем сельского хозяйства. Заселяя природные биотопы, она вытесняет аборигенные виды как растений, так и моллюсков. Эффективные меры борьбы с A. arbustorum не разработаны. Даётся оценка жизнедеятельности водяной полёвки Arvicola amphibius по отношению к древесной улитке. Плотность A. arbustorum в саду около нор водяной полёвки 2433 экз/м2, а на удалении 5 метров от нор - 5231 экз/м2. Разница статистически достоверна. Показано, что поедание водяной полёвкой древесных улиток локально снижает их плотность. Водяная полёвка выступает как природный агент биологического контроля A. arbustorum, поддерживающий видовое многообразие в природе. Установлено, что осенью 65% всех взрослых A. arbustorum закапываются в землю, и уже недоступны для поедания водяными полёвками. Кормовые запасы водяной полёвки на зиму из моркови и картофеля обнаружены в 45 м от ближайшего огорода.

The Wood snail Arianta arbustorum, which in recent decades has spread in the center of the Russian Plain, has become a dangerous pest of agriculture. Settling natural biotopes, it crowds out indigenous species of both plants and mollusks. Effective control measures against A. arbustorum have not been developed. Here we assess the activity of the water vole Arvicola amphibius in relation to the Wood snail. The density of A. arbustorum in the garden near the water vole burrows is 2433 ind./m2, while at a distance of 5 meters from the burrows it becomes 5231 ind./ m2. The difference is statistically significant. Water vole eating wood snails locally reduce their density. Voles thus act as a natural biological control agent of A. arbustorum, preserving species diversity. In the fall around 65% of A. arbustorum adults burrow into the ground and are no longer available for water voles. Winter fodder stocks of a Water vole with carrots and potatoes were found 45 m from the nearest garden.

Published: January 2021

History records that Singkawang was an inseparable part of the conflict between ethnic groups in West Kalimantan. This article aims to examine three things, namely (1) the description of Coser's structuralist theory, (2) the strategic role of the city of Singkawang, and (3) the relevance of Singkawang City to Coser's theory. This research was studied with a qualitative descriptive. The research subject is the object of research is the city of Singkawang. Data collection techniques are carried out by literature study, interviews, and observations. The results showed that (1) the presence of conflict can play a role in restoring the social integration of members of society. Besides, the presence of conflict also plays a role in strengthening the social and emotional bonds of its followers. (2) Singkawang had a strategic role as a trading area and transit point for gold miners during the Sambas Sultanate. This condition lasted for a long time and made the people of Singkawang at that time learn to blend in with each other. In its development, the history of assimilation made the city of Singkawang finally used as one of the locations when there was an inter-ethnic conflict in West Kalimantan. (3) Coser's theory teaches that to avoid conflict there needs to be a safety value. In Singkawang City, safety value is carried out through natural assimilation through marriage, including culture. Apart from that, there is also artificial assimilation carried out by creating associations of both ethnicity and religion.

Authors: Kariadi Dodik , Maryani Enok , Sjamsuddin Helius , Ruhimat Mamat
Published: January 2021

The problem in this research is that the teaching of school-based earthquake disaster preparedness in Lombok has not been optimal. In fact, the island of Lombok is an area with a high level of vulnerability to earthquakes. This is because one of them is the Flores Thrust which stretches from the eastern tip of the Flores Sea to the north of Bali. Thus in this study the main objective is to develop a preparedness teaching model for earthquake-prone schools. Where earthquake disaster preparedness is all efforts and activities carried out before a natural disaster occurs, during a disaster and immediately after a disaster to quickly and effectively respond to the situation or situation. The research method used is a research and development approach (Research & Development). The results showed several results including; First, the use of this preparedness teaching model shows that schools have more knowledge as a result of modeling in learning; Second, the exposure of the functions and responsibilities of one of the main leading sectors in disaster management; and The three resulting teaching models have simplified disaster management in schools because they are integrated with Social Science learning so that they are easily realized. So with the model of teaching student preparedness it will be more effective and efficient in order to improve their ability to face earthquakes that can occur at any time.

Bridging the Gap between Language and Literature: Teaching English in Bangladesh at Tertiary Level
Authors: Nusrat Masrufa Ayesha
Published: January 2021

Using literary material for developing language skills has gained new attention for both L1 and L2 learners in the last two decades. In my paper I would like to explore the possibilities and loopholes of teaching language through literature in Bangladesh at the tertiary level. Our language classes follow traditional lecture-based teaching techniques and use almost no literary materials for teaching language. Mostly ‘referential’ materials are taught by Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) method which are exclusively confined to everyday real-life situational use and does not engage learners’ imaginative faculties. Therefore, I have tried to demonstrate how literary texts or ‘representational texts’ can develop English proficiency, foster critical thinking and encourage creative language use. I have also critiqued our material selection; teaching approaches; evaluation; and rote learning during exam. As a result a gap has long been created between language and literature at the tertiary level, hampering language acquisition. Although critical practices like, Literary Theory and Cultural Studies, have enriched our academia and generated impressive curriculum (such as World Literature in English, Comparative Literature and Applied Linguistics and ELT), learners’ basic linguistic competence has declined considerably. I have tried to recommend ways to solve these problems by introducing language-based teaching approach and integrating language with literature. Keywords: representational material, referential material, language-based approach, stylistics, literature with a small ‘l’, literary language, imaginative language use, literary and linguistic competence, product-based and process-based teaching and learning
