Influence of Iron(III) Oxide Nanorods on the Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Pan Nanofiber Mats
Authors: Sanchaniya J. V. , Rengasamy Kannathasan K. , Muraleedharan H. K. , Lasenko I.
Published: January 2025

This study delves into the integration of iron (III) oxide (Fe2O3) nanorods into orientated polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofiber mats, a topic of considerable interest in applications such as water treatment and environmental remediation. Focussing on the modification of PAN nanofibers, the research investigates the impact of varying concentrations (1 %, 3 % and 5 %) of Fe2O3 nanorods on the mechanical and thermal properties of the nanofiber mats. Mechanical strength was evaluated by tensile testing, while thermal stability was evaluated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results indicate a notable improvement in the mechanical strength of the nanofiber mats, with an increase of up to 24 % observed at the highest nanorod concentration of 5 %. However, the thermal stability of the mats showed a decrease of approximately 12 % as per the TGA results. This research provides new insights into the effect of Fe2O3 nanorod reinforcement on PAN nanofibers, highlighting the trade-offs between mechanical enhancement and thermal stability.

Authors: Bálint Orsolya , Szilveszter Mónika , Dorobanțu Dorin Constantin , Gurzu Simona , Milutin Doina , Jung János
Published: January 2025

Introduction: Malignant cutaneous adnexal tumours (MATS) are rare, heterogeneous tumours of variable malignancy that originate from hair follicles, sebaceous glands, eccrine, or apocrine sweat glands. Surgical excision with clear margins is the gold standard for treating MATS. Incomplete excision increases the risk of local recurrence, subclinical tumour progression, and metastasis. Aim: The aim of our study was to determine the clinicopathological risk factors and dermatoscopic features associated with incomplete excision of MATS. Material and methods: We conducted a single-centre retrospective study by evaluating patients’ data diagnosed with MATS who underwent primary surgical excision during January 2020 - December 2022. We assessed the clinical, dermatoscopic, and histopathological features of the tumours, and the demographic characteristics of the patients. Pertaining to the margin of the surgical resection we divided the cases into two groups: we considered the surgical margins positive if there were tumour infiltrations, or located tumour cells less than 1 mm from the resection margins; otherwise, we considered the surgical margins negative. We used Microsoft Excel and GraphPad Prism 9.0 to perform statistical analyses. Results: During the three-year period, a total of 17 patients who underwent surgical resection of MATS were included in the study. Incomplete excision occurred in 9 cases (52.9%). All cases included in the study were located in the head and neck area. The periocular region was the most common location (33.3%), followed by the nasal and hemifacial areas in equal proportions (22.2%). During dermatoscopic examination, tumours with incomplete resection margins were mainly characterized by uniform or clustered polymorphous vessel morphologies. We found a significant correlation between incomplete resection and microcystic adnexal type carcinoma (p=0.025). We did not find any statistically significant correlation between incomplete excision and gender, age, tumour size, thickness/invasion, and localization. Conclusion: The therapy of choice for locally aggressive MATS is complete tumour control with resection, especially in the high-risk “H” zone of the head and neck area. If this is not feasible, excision with the extension of the safety margins is recommended.
Delivery room management and umbilical blood gas analysis: multiple vs. single birth
Authors: Andrea-Noemi Toth , Reka Santa , Zsuzsanna Gall , Marta Simon
Published: January 2025

Introduction: Birth is a complex process involving a series of physiological changes while the infant’s transition takes place from intrauterine to extrauterine life. Multiple births are associated with increased risks and often require additional support in the delivery room leading to a higher percentage of neonatal complications. Aim: To compare the need for special assistance and resuscitation procedures in the delivery room between multiple and single births and to investigate the correlation between umbilical cord blood gas analysis and these interventions. Method: We conducted a retrospective review of the medical records of neonates born between January 2019 and May 2021 at the Emergency County Hospital, Targu Mures who required intensive care. Exclusion criteria included newborns transferred from other facilities, lack of umbilical cord blood gas analysis and missing parental consent. Patients were divided into two groups based on multiple or single births. We analyzed maternal, fetal and perinatal factors as well as delivery room management and umbilical cord blood gas. Perinatal risk factors in vitro fertilization, premature birth, low birth weight, maternal anemia and maternal coagulopathy were significantly higher in the multiple birth group. Results: Of the 107 neonates 56% were from multiple gestations and 43% from single pregnancies. The mean gestational age was 35.6 ± 3.7 weeks and the mean birth weight was 2682 ± 908.1 g. No statistically significant differences were found between the two groups regarding the overall need for additional assistance in the delivery room or any of the steps of resuscitation (p=2.99). The only parameter from the blood gas analysis that showed a weak association with the multiple birth group was the pH value (p=0.057). Discussion/Conclusions: Although neonates from multiple pregnancies are at a higher risk for premature birth and lower birth weight, our study found that they did not require more advanced assistance in the delivery room compared to those of single births. Lower Apgar scores at 1 minute and 5 minutes were associated with multiple births. Short term outcomes and duration of hospitalization were similar between the groups.
Formativt arbetssätt som ett verktyg för språkutveckling och lärande i högre utbildning
Authors: Prelevic Zeljka
Published: January 2025

Denna reflektion utgår ifrån ett formativt arbetssätt som tillämpas i en av programkurserna på lärarutbildningen. Arbetssättet baseras på iakttagelser som har gjorts i den aktuella kursen där merparten av studenterna är andraspråksinlärare. Med tanke på breddad rekrytering i högre utbildning kan detta arbetssätt med fördel användas även i andra kurser och studentgrupper. Inledningsvis presenteras det formativa arbetssättet i den aktuella kursen. Därefter analyseras det med hjälp av Hoels (2012) responsmodell samt Matsudas och Cox (2011) föreslagna strategier för bedömning av andraspråkinlärares texter. Slutsatsen som dras är att olika typer av respons uppfyller olika funktioner och att universitetslärare i mötet med studenter bör adressera responsen utifrån responsens olika funktioner i syfte att främja ett livslångt lärande och språkutveckling hos alla studenter.

Authors: Alnaim Saud , Alhmeid Sukaina
Published: January 2025

Objective:
This paper aimed to investigate the level of awareness of Medication-overuse headache (MOH) among the Saudi population and to assess their willingness to reduce their consumption of pain relievers or to seek medical advice after being educated about MOH.
Methods:
This observational cross-sectional study was carried out between December 2022 and May 2023 on the residents of Eastern Province City, encompassing both Saudi nationals and non-Saudi residents. A self-administered online survey was used to collect the data.
Results:
A total of 499 participants completed the study questionnaire, with 212 of them (42.5%) having healthcare training. The level of MOH awareness among the Eastern Province population was dramatically low (23.8%). Surprisingly, a similar level of awareness was reported among healthcare-educated participants (25%). Following education on the risk of chronic headaches due to frequent use of analgesics, most of the current study population were willing to change their analgesic use behavior.
Conclusion:
The study findings highlighted the need for public education, in addition to the necessity of giving this issue more attention in medical education.

An infection-induced inflammatory continuum extending from the cervix to the peritoneal cavity (endocervicitis, endometritis, salpingitis, and peritonitis) is the hallmark of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). This review evaluates and synthesizes current evidence on the relationship between PID and urinary tract complications, identifying common symptoms. A thorough search was carried out across four databases, identifying 690 relevant publications. After removing duplicates using Rayyan QCRI and screening for relevance, 324 full-text articles were reviewed, with 7 studies ultimately meeting the inclusion criteria. Among the included studies, five focused on a total of 50,460 women diagnosed with PID. The review highlights the high prevalence of urinary symptoms, such as dysuria and urinary frequency, among PID patients, reinforcing the link between reproductive and urinary tract disorders. It also identifies an association between PID and interstitial cystitis, suggesting a higher risk of bladder pain syndrome in affected women. Additionally, PID is linked to increased risks of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and, in rare cases, urinary cancers, emphasizing the potential for long-term urinary complications beyond reproductive health. The findings underline the strong connection between PID and urinary tract complications, stressing the importance of integrated care. Physicians are encouraged to monitor urinary symptoms in women with PID for early diagnosis and treatment. While existing research highlights the need for comprehensive management, further studies are necessary to explore the underlying mechanisms and develop targeted preventive strategies.

El heraldo gitano: romance San Gabriel de García Lorca
Authors: Villegas Zerlin Solveig Josefina , Freire Schiffler Michele
Published: January 2025

El estudio constituye una aproximación al Romance San Gabriel, perteneciente al libro Romancero Gitano (1928), de Federico García Lorca. Se abordan elementos estéticos, religiosos y culturales presentes en la construcción de la pieza, en virtud de la poética garcialorquiana. Resalta una suma poética entre rasgos históricos y estéticos de las tres religiones abrahámicas que conducen a la interpretación del poema como un continuum de sentido imbricado en el acervo gitano: San Gabriel es el heraldo de la voluntad divina bajo cuyo peso se igualan el alborozo, el dolor y la resistencia de este pueblo históricamente oprimido.

Saúde mental no Brasil: desafios para as políticas públicas e legislação
Authors: Weber César Augusto Trinta , Da Silva Antônio Geraldo
Published: January 2025

Introdução: A saúde mental no Brasil enfrenta uma realidade alarmante. Cerca de 18 milhões de brasileiros convivem com transtornos mentais graves, e a taxa de suicídio no país segue uma trajetória de crescimento que contrasta com a redução global. Esse cenário reflete tanto as limitações no acesso ao diagnóstico e tratamento quanto os desafios estruturais nas políticas públicas voltadas à saúde mental. Em um contexto de fragilidade das redes de cuidado, iniciativas legislativas baseadas em evidências tornam-se um elemento crucial para a mudança de paradigma. Objetivo: Analisar e identificar iniciativas legislativas voltadas à formulação de políticas públicas para a saúde mental no Brasil, com foco nas lacunas críticas e nas necessidades de melhorias no acesso ao tratamento, inclusão social e financiamento de tecnologias terapêuticas. Método: Revisão narrativa com base em literatura científica, documentos oficiais e dados epidemiológicos. Resultados: A política de saúde mental no Brasil tem sido historicamente marcada pela descontinuidade e pela priorização de abordagens ideológicas em detrimento de evidências científicas. Conclusões: Ao articular ciência, prática clínica e advocacy, as iniciativas legislativas que visam priorizar a saúde mental na agenda pública têm um papel essencial em reforçar o compromisso com a promoção, prevenção, assistência e reabilitação dessa área, buscando o bem-estar da população.
The educational policy of the Russian Empire in the Turkestan region in the mirror of Russian journalism of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Authors: Klimashin Alexey L'vovich , Arslanov Rafael' Amirovich
Published: January 2025

The object of the study is the process of formation of the educational system in the Central Asian territories of the Russian Empire in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The subject of the study is a reflection of the process of formation of the educational system of Central Asia in Russian journalism of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This article highlights the attitude of Russian publications of the post-reform modernization era to the educational policy pursued by the imperial administration in the territories of Central Asia. The differences between conservative, liberal and democratic views on the goals and methods of the education system being created in the Muslim environment are noted. The article highlights the attitude of publicists to the ambiguous perception of the traditional local school by the Russian administration. Particular attention is paid to the criticism of inconsistency and fluctuations in government policy in the field of education. The constructive proposals of publicists aimed at ensuring the synthesis of some aspects of traditional and Russian educational institutions, contributing to the acculturation of the local population and the gradual integration of the region into the Empire, are revealed. The work used the historical and genetic method, which make possible to trace the development of the educational policy of Russia in the Central Asia on the pages of domestic publications; comparative, which allows to establish the general and special in its perception by publicists; the principle of historicism, revealing their attitude to the educational policy of the authorities in the historical context of the epoch of the early twentieth century. The problem of reflecting the educational policy of Russia in Central Asia in periodicals of that time has not been the subject of special analysis. Conservative authors advocated a policy of religious tolerance, the spread of the Russian school and the inclusion of the younger generation of the local population in its educational process. The main task of educational policy in the region for liberals for a long time has been to reduce the level of Muslim fanaticism, to introduce civilization through the development of education, to reform Russian-native schools, madrassas and mektebe, to provide cultural autonomy to the population of the region, the need for a synthesis of secular and national schools. Populist publications suggested using a public resource in the creation and development of a local school. Representatives of all directions agreed that only with the help of education and the dissemination of European values is it possible to overcome the cultural isolation of the region, national and religious extremism, undermining the foundations of its integration with Russia.

Authors: Yuliati Yuliati , Theresia Theresia , Pambudi Ari
Published: January 2025

Penelitian ini meneliti faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi efikasi diri dan kepatuhan medis pada pasien tuberkulosis paru (TB) yang menjalani pengobatan OAT (Obat Anti Tuberkulosis), serta dampak terapi Kognitif Berbasis Kesadaran (Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy/MBCT) terhadap kedua aspek tersebut. Pasien TB sering mengalami rendahnya efikasi diri akibat stigma sosial dan perasaan tidak mampu, yang berpotensi menurunkan kepatuhan terhadap pengobatan. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain quasi-eksperimen dengan satu kelompok pretest-posttest untuk mengukur perubahan efikasi diri dan kepatuhan medis setelah intervensi mindfulness. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa intervensi mindfulness secara signifikan meningkatkan efikasi diri pasien TB, dengan peningkatan mean sebesar 17,60. Namun, intervensi ini tidak memiliki dampak yang konsisten terhadap kepatuhan medis, ditunjukkan dengan penurunan mean sebesar 1,00. Simpulan dari penelitian ini adalah bahwa intervensi kesadaran melalui mindfulness dapat meningkatkan efikasi diri pada pasien TB, namun pengaruhnya terhadap kepatuhan medis masih terbatas dan tidak konsisten.
Interrogating the Rationale behind the Deportation of Missionaries from Rhodesia: A Case of Colonial Paranoia (1964–1979)
Authors: Gundani Paul Henry
Published: January 2025

The study focuses on the complex interplay between colonial powers, religious actors, and the struggle for social justice and racial equality in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) under the government of Ian Douglas Smith (1964-79). The study uses a postcolonial lens to explore the influence, motivation, and responses of colonial administrators towards missionary actors towards African nationalism and African political struggles. This historical narrative shapes church interactions in politics and economics in view of missionary advocacy and the legacy of African nationalism and its transition beyond that time. This fulfils the study objective, which is to investigate the contribution and impact of the targeted missionaries in creating a just, multi-racial and democratic Zimbabwe. The study examines five prominent missionaries who were targeted by the colonial government and deported out of Rhodesia. They include Bishop Ralph Edward Dodge (1907–2008) and Arthur Guy Clutton-Brock (1906–1995). Fr Michael Traber (SMB) (1929–2006), Sr. Janice McLaughlin (1941–2020), and Bishop Donal Raymond Lamont (O. Carm) (1911–2003). This study showcases the impact of missionaries on Zimbabwe’s ecclesiastical historiography.
An Ecclesiological Overview of Theological Training at the Stofberg Theological Schools from 1960 to 1994
Authors: Philander Nathan C.
Published: January 2025

This article is an attempt to fill the gaps regarding the systematisation of the theological thoughts on theological training in the former Dutch Reformed Church in Africa (DRCA). However, the article indicates a discontinuity in the story line regarding the development of theological training in the former DRCA. As a result of the fear of the Dutch Reformed Church (DRC) for equality between blacks and whites, separate churches had to be established for the four ethnic groups. The DRC was against “social equality” between blacks and whites and promoted “social differentiation and cultural segregation”. People of colour had to be led to independence under the guardianship of the DRC. This means that the DRC’s missionary policy was indeed a racial policy which influenced the training of ministers of colour. The effect was that missionary work became a movement from the white church to the church of the people of colour. In the fifties and sixties, the coloured churches became more independent, but the DRC wanted to maintain its control.

The Spring Revolution in Myanmar (2021–2024): A New 1988, a New Civil War
Authors:   Sorbonne Paris, France, Roqueplo Olivier P.
Published: January 2025

The paper considers the Burmese coloured revolution starting in 2021 as
just one stage of a larger all-Burmese war that has never completely stopped since
independence, a war between the Burmese ethnic core and its army guaranteeing nationalism on the one hand, and the democratic trend that is rapidly leading
to instability on the other, while the minority armies and finally the Western forces
seek to break up the country in order to regain a foothold in it. The paper focuses
on the three core issues of the country’s independence and unity, on the question
of the path to development, and on the challenge of Thai soft power and ít consequences in Myanmar.

Published: January 2025

In the 20th century, Japanese neoreligious movements began to actively
spread abroad. A special place in the international arena is occupied by movements
based on the ideas of the Nichiren school. The founder of the school, the monk
Nichiren, brought out several central postulates, among which was active participation in political life and the dissemination of teachings throughout the country
and beyond. Today, Nichirenist societies operate through international organizations and attract supporters around the world. They are also the founders and participants of various peaceful and educational organizations and movements, and
operate in UN structures. However, the activities and initiatives of these organizations are not without controversy.

Published: January 2025

This article is devoted to the study of the history of religious beliefs in
Northeast China and the features of the spread of Tibetan Buddhism. The stages
of the spread of Tibetan Buddhism in the region, the main areas of its existence,
forms of religious practice and its influence on local society, culture and folklore
are analyzed. The study shows that in the process of historical and cultural development of Northeast China against the background of multiethnic coexistence in the region, a diverse religious order has formed. The spread of Tibetan Buddhism
not only enriches the diversity of local religious culture, but also promotes cultural
exchanges and integration with various ethnic groups. This process is reflected not
only at the level of religious beliefs, but also manifests itself in the local social structure, influencing the economic development and cultural identity of the region.
The Role of Tea in Buddhism
Authors:   Karshi state university Karshi, Uzbekistan, Mamatova Mahfuza B.
Published: January 2025

This article reveals the connection between tea and tea ceremonies with
Buddhism, since tea culture is inextricably linked with nature and society, while
Buddhism called for achieving bliss in heaven. Chinese tea culture is full of optimism and love for life, while Buddhism preached the value of solitude and trials. In the
philosophy of Chan Buddhism, this contradiction was resolved, and as a result, the
two approaches to tea culture came closer together and formed a single whole.
The first preacher of Buddhism in Japan was also a great expert and founder of
the Japanese tea ceremony. Japanese monks attached special importance to the
unique features of the tea ceremony, common among Chinese Buddhists.
Verbs Expressing Plurality in Japanese Language
Authors:   Novosibirsk State University Novosibirsk, Russia, Kutafeva Nataliia V.
Published: January 2025

The work analyzes the lexical way of expressing plurality using two groups
of verbs. The first group combines verbs with the meaning of connecting objects
or peoples (atsumaru ‘to gather’ — atsumeru ‘to collect’), the second group combines verbs with the meaning of separating a whole into parts (chiru ‘desperse’ —
chirasu ‘scatter’, kubaru ‘distribute’). The studied verbs are polysemantic, so different models are used to realize their meanings. In addition, various ways of expressing plurality in a sentence were analyzed.

Evaluation of the expression of FLG, AHR and ARNT genes in the skin of patients with atopic dermatitis after phototherapy
Authors: Kozlova Irina V. , Chikin Vadim V. , Gorodnichev Pavel V. , Lagun Kseniya M. , Nosov Nikita Y.
Published: January 2025

Background: Ultraviolet irradiation of the skin can activate the cytoplasmic aryl hydrocarbon receptor AhR, which, in combination with its nuclear translocator ARNT binds to the promoter of the FLG gene encoding filaggrin, a protective skin barrier protein. This suggests that the therapeutic effect of phototherapy may be due not only to the immunosuppressive effect, but also to stimulation of filaggrin production.
Aims: to evaluate the effect of ultraviolet irradiation used for various phototherapy methods on the expression levels of the FLG, AHR and ARNT genes in the skin of patients with atopic dermatitis.
Materials and methods: The expression levels of the FLG, AHR and ARNT genes were determined using real-time PCR. To define the severity of the disease, the SCORAD index was calculated.
Results: 76 patients with atopic dermatitis were included in the study. 37 patients underwent narrow-band phototherapy; 39 – UFA1 therapy. Both methods of phototherapy were effective. After narrow-band phototherapy, the level of expression of the FLG, AHR and ARNT genes significantly increased. After UFA1 therapy, the expression of the AHR and ARNT genes increased, and no changes in the expression of the FLG gene were observed.
Conclusions: Data have been obtained indicating that the therapeutic effect of narrow-band phototherapy in atopic dermatitis may be due to stimulation of the expression of the FLG gene in the skin. The revealed changes in the expression of the AHR and ARNT genes indicate the possible involvement of their protein products AhR and ARNT in the pathogenesis of the disease.
Crystalloids versus hydroxyethyl starch (130/0.4) in patients undergoing decompressive craniectomy for isolated traumatic brain injury: A prospective randomized controlled trial
Authors: Hemachandiran R. , Jangra Kiran , Barik Amiya Kumar , Kaur Kirandeep , Kumar Ashok , Panda Nidhi Bidyut , Gendle Chandrashekhar , Samra Tanvir
Published: January 2025

Objectives:

The use of hydroxyethyl starch (HES) during neurosurgical patients is debatable. Previous literature suggests that HES interferes with coagulation parameters and kidney function tests. However, most of the evidence was extrapolated from studies including critically sick intensive care unit patients. Thus, we planned to compare crystalloids and HES for coagulation parameters in isolated traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients undergoing decompressive craniectomy.

Materials and Methods:

The prospective randomized controlled trial included the American Society of Anesthesiologists I and II adult patients (18– 65 years) with isolated TBI posted for decompressive craniectomy. Patients were randomized equally into two groups (Group Cs and Group Co). Group Cs received crystalloids (PlasmaLyte-A, Beiffe Medital S.A, Huesca, Spain) and Group Co received a combination of crystalloids (PlasmaLyte-A) and colloids (HES 6% 130/0.4, Voluven®, Fresenius Kabi Ind Pvt. Limited). Coagulation parameters using sonoclot, intraoperative hemodynamics, brain relaxation score (BRS), blood loss, serum lactate, electrolytes, total intravenous fluids used, post-operative kidney function, and modified Rankin score (mRS) were compared in two groups. The continuous data were presented as mean ± Standard deviation, and categorical data as frequency (percentage). Inferential statistics such as the Chi-square test/Fischer Exact test and independent t-test were applied to compare the two groups.

Results:

A total of 60 patients were analyzed with 30 patients in each group. Sonoclot parameters were comparable in the two groups at baseline and the end of surgery. There were no differences in BRS, electrolytes, serum lactate, blood loss, urine output, use of vasopressors, post-operative parameters including urea, creatinine, and median mRS between the groups.

Conclusion:

We conclude that HES (130/0.4) may be safely given intraoperatively in limited dosages in isolated head injury patients as it does not affect coagulation parameters. Other intraoperative variables including hemodynamics, BRS, total blood loss, the total volume of fluids used, serum electrolytes, and serum lactate, urine output, and mRS were comparable between the groups. Short-term use of modern colloids was not associated with post-operative renal dysfunction.

Граница городской агломерации: одна или несколько?
Authors: Мазаев А.Г.
Published: January 2025

В статье рассмотрена проблема установления (пространственного определения) границ крупных городских агломераций в современной России, представлены наиболее известные методики, показаны их недостатки. Различные методики имеют совершенно разную логику, в силу чего итоговые результаты их применения принципиально различны, эти различия не могут быть устранены либо сведены к усредненному значению. В силу этого следует ставить вопрос не о единой границе городской агломерации, а о множестве различных границ, полученных в соответствии с конкретной методикой. В итоге мы можем говорить не о единственной границе городской агломерации, а об их семействе, которое неизбежно имеет различное пространственное расположение.

The article discusses the problem of delimitation i.e. spatial determination of the boundaries of large urban agglomerations in modern Russia. The most well-known methods of such delimitation are considered and their general disadvantages are shown. It lies in the fact that different methods have completely different logic, so the final result by their application is fundamentally different. Moreover, these differences can neither be eliminated nor reduced to some average value. Due to the fact that different methods necessarily give different results, the question should be raised not about a single boundary of an urban agglomeration, but about the many different boundaries obtained in accordance with a given specific method. These different techniques provide their own individual optics, according to which the agglomeration boundary passes. As a result we can talk not about a single boundary of an urban agglomeration, but about their family, which inevitably has a different spatial location.

Authors: Филоненко Н.С. , Третьякова М.С.
Published: January 2025

Актуальность исследования обусловлена тем, что Япония и Китай предлагают сегодня альтернативную западной модель дизайна, строящуюся на принципиально ином понимании телесности. Цель исследования заключается в выделении укорененных в восточной традиции «методов» обращения восточноазиатских дизайнеров к собственному «телесному сознанию» и через это - к «телесному сознанию» потребителя. Авторы выделяют «метод» созерцания пустоты, характерный для японских дизайнеров, и «метод» поиска утонченного, характерный для китайских дизайнеров «новой волны».

The relevance of the research is due to the fact that Japan and China today offer an alternative Western design model based on a fundamentally different understanding of corporality. The purpose of the study is to identify the «methods» rooted in the Eastern tradition of East Asian designers’ appeal to their own «embodied consciousness» and through this to the «embodied consciousness» of the consumer. The authors identify the «method» of contemplating emptiness, characteristic of Japanese designers, and the «method» of searching for the refined, characteristic of Chinese «New Wave» designers.

Authors: Боякова С.И.
Published: January 2025

В статье на основе привлечения архивных данных и полевых материалов реконструированы основные этапы этнической истории, особенности расселения, хозяйства и культуры субэтнической группы брагатских эвенков, проживающих в настоящее время на территории Мирнинского района Республики Саха (Якутия). Особое внимание уделено современным социокультурным процессам, происходящим в среде изучаемой группы под влиянием интенсивного индустриального освоения региона; проблемам сохранения и возрождения их традиционной культуры. Рассмотрены исторические, политические и экономические аспекты определения их правового статуса, вопросы этнической консолидации и мобилизации.

The article is the first to reconstruct the ethnic history of the Evenks of the Bragat clan, currently living in the Mirninsky district of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The aim of the article is to identify the ethno-cultural characteristics and their preservation in modern conditions of this subethnic group of the northern Evenks. The tasks of the article are to consider the concepts of their origin; to identify the area of their settlement and demographic processes during the 17th – 21st centuries; to study the features of traditional farming methods and ethnic culture, their transformation in the 20th century under the influence of intensive industrial development; to analyze modern problems of preservation and development of this group of the Evenk people. Based on the archival data of the 18th – 20th centuries and fi eld materials, the author reconstructed the main stages of the ethnic history, administrative reorganizations, changes in the legal status, transformations of the economic and socio-cultural systems of the Bragat Evenks; modern processes that influenced the emergence of new social and socio-political factors that have an intensive impact on the Bragat Evenks are analyzed. It is concluded that, on the one hand, the industrial development of the region serves as a certain motivation for the aborigines to improve the quality of education, self-realization and self-affirmation of the individual, and improve their lifestyle. On the other hand, in the context of intensive industrial development, the invasion of mining companies into the original territories of the aborigines is increasing. In these conditions, it is necessary to search for new adaptation mechanisms, areas of cooperation and communication to build a mutually beneficial dialogue between the indigenous northerners and industrial corporations.

В области грамматики выявлены основные способы образования антропонимов, приводятся наиболее употребительные словообразовательные и словоизменительные суффиксы

The article studies the problem of existence of personal names, surnames, nicknames, ethnonyms in different languages of the Tungus-Manchu peoples: Evenks, Evens, Negidals, Nanais, Ulchi, Udege in an inextricable connection with their ethnic culture. In a comparative sense, anthroponyms of other indigenous small northern ethnic groups are involved. Attention is also paid to the contact of languages and cultures in the regions of the North, Siberia and the Far East of the Russian Federation. The material for the article is based on the author’s observations, conversations with students and teachers of the Institute of Peoples of the North of the Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia. The results of the work revealed facts that stated that personal names, surnames, nicknames and ethnonyms of the Tungus-Manchu peoples of the North are distinguished by great diversity, and their origin and existence are associated with the peculiarities of the material and spiritual culture of ethnic groups; Among the extra-linguistic factors that influenced the language material, one of the main ones was the close communication of the indigenous inhabitants with the Russian population of the region. The author comes to the conclusion that the material under study – anthroponyms – has gone through a difficult path of contact, mutual enrichment and development; in borrowed words, phonetic and lexical differences are found fi rst of all. In the field of grammar, the main methods of forming anthroponyms are identified: morphological (suffixal), stem formation, conversion; the most commonly used word-formation and inflectional suffixes, including those that form male and female names and nicknames.
