Authors: Troudi Azza , Douafer Hana , Bolla Jean-Michel , Klibi Naouel , Brunel Jean M.
Published: June 2020

Introduction:

An attractive antibiotic-adjuvant strategy consisting of the design and
synthesis of polyaminoisoprenyl molecules able to restore the antibiotic activity of tetracycline antibiotics
against resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacterial strains has been developed.

Methods:

These chemo-sensitizers are readily prepared from geraniol and farnesol in an efficient
two steps synthesis with good to moderate yields varying from 38 to 64% and leading to a significant
decrease in antibiotic resistance.

Results:

Thus, the influence of the nature of the tetracycline antibiotic used as well as the structure
of the polyaminoisoprenyl derivatives involved in the outcome of the antibiotic-adjuvant combination
against P. aeruginosa resistance to tetracyclines were investigated.

Conclusion:

Additionally, our data suggested that their mechanism of action is closely associated
with the increase of the outer-membrane permeability.

Authors: KarimiPourSaryazdi Amir , KarimiPourSaryazdi Yeganeh , Ghaffarifar Fatemeh , Ahmadi Maryam , Zaki Leila
Published: June 2020

Background:

Acanthamoeba belongs to the free-living amoebae genus that causes a
widespread infection with different severities in humans and animals. Treatment of these opportunistic
protozoan infections is still not safe or effective. The aim of the present study was to evaluate
the effect of spring extract of Artemisia aucheri on Acanthamoeba in vitro.

Method:

Trophozoites and cysts of Acanthamoeba were cultured on non-nutrient agar plates containing
bacteria Escherichia coli. Macrophage cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium.

:

Different concentrations of spring extracts of A. aucheri were added to cultivated parasites and
macrophages and additionally calculated to determine the 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) for
parasites and 50% cytotoxic concentration (CC50) for macrophages. Then, the viability of parasites
were evaluated using counting assay. MTT assay was carried out on macrophage cells based
on growth inhibition. Furthermore, in order to determine the possible induction of apoptosis in
cysts of Acanthamoeba, flow cytometry method was employed using annexin staining.

Results:

The effect of A. aucheri on trophozoites and cysts of Acanthamoeba was effective and
had a reverse relationship with its concentration. The IC50 value of spring extract on trophozoites
and cysts of the parasite was estimated to be 200 and 333 μg/ml at 24 h, respectively. According to
the results of flow cytometry, the spring A. aucheri extract caused about 20% apoptosis.

Conclusion:

Regarding the above results, it can be concluded that spring A. aucheri extract was
effective against trophozoite and cyst forms of Acanthamoeba in vitro. Therefore, this plant could
be an appropriate herbal drug candidate for the treatment of Acanthamoeba infections.

The features of current processes in silicon heterojunction thin-film solar cells are investigated. The proposed model takes into account the ambipolar nature of the motion of charge carriers and allows one to calculate the operating characteristics for an arbitrary ratio between the diffusion length and the thickness of the crystalline substrate. A numerical method for estimating the rate of recombination losses on the surfaces of silicon wafers is described, based on a comparative analysis of the experimental values of short-circuit currents and open circuit voltages.

The design of the n++-InGaAs/р++-InGaAs/р++-InAlGaAs tunnel junction (TJ) for 1.55 μm range vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs), developed by wafer fusion technique of InAlGaAsP/InP optical cavity with AlGaAs/GaAs distributed Bragg reflectors is proposed and realized. The presence of oxidation-resistant InGaAs layers allows the use of molecular-beam epitaxy at all stages of the heterostructure fabrication, including for regrowth of the TJ surface relief. In the case of using the n++-InGaAs/р++-InGaAs/р++-InAlGaAs TJ, a noticeable increase in the internal optical losses compared to the n++/р++-InAlGaAs TJ design was not obtained. The increase in internal optical loss in lasers can be avoided due to Burshtein-Moss effect in n++-InGaAs layers and thickness minimization of р++-InGaAs layer. As a result, the characteristics of fabricated lasers are comparable with characteristics of VCSELs with n++/p++-InAlGaAs TJ with a similar level of mirror losses.

The influence of UV radiation and a strong electric field on the I–V characteristics of resistive structures based on polymorphic films of gallium oxide (Ga2O3) is considered. Ga2O3 films were deposited by the method of chloride vapor-phase epitaxy (HVPE) on smooth and structured sapphire substrates with a baseline (0001) orientation. α-Ga2O3 films were produced on smooth substrates, and deposition on patterned sapphire substrates templates produced a mixed structure containing both α-Ga2O3 and ε-Ga2O3. The switching effect was observed in metal / Ga2O3 / metal structures based on two-phase films. Structures pass from a low-resistance (LR) state to a high-resistance (HR) state when exposed to a strong electric field and radiation with λ = 254 nm.

The availability of thin titanium film laser modification for precise loss control in lithium niobate optical waveguides was demonstrated. A simple ray model of the interaction between a nanosized metal cover on the top surface of a Ti-indiffused channel waveguide and orthogonal optical waveguide modes with changes in optical losses up to 0.95 and 1.05 dB/mm for TE- and TM-polarized modes respectively in case of 5 nm titanium film covering was suggested. The consistency between obtained theoretical losses and results of optical film modification by a 976 nm laser beam with the threshold intensity up to 1 kW/mm2 was demonstrated. The suggested method was applied for precise balance of optical field intensities in arms of Mach-Zehnder optical modulator; an associated increase of the extinction ratio from 30 to 48 dB was achieved.
The Relationship between the Spanish Government and the Pharmaceutical Company (Gilead) during the Hepatitis C crisis in Spain
Authors: Alonso García Serena
Published: June 2020

This research note investigates the pattern of governance that underpinned the management of the Hepatitis C crisis that took place in Spain in 2014. By navigating through the facts, one can see how the private interests of a multinational company – Gilead, the patent holder of the new treatment for the Hepatitis C virus – were capable of exerting pressure on Spain, a highly developed state, to a point where the government applied measures that contradicted the country’s Constitution and caused 4000 avoidable deaths. Different theories of governance will be used to try to explain the new dynamics. The main conclusion of this research note is that the power of the state is diminishing in many cases, and that this has consequences for the public interest and the population in general.

Published: June 2020

En este trabajo se caracteriza el comportamiento de los rendimientos logarítmicos del oro entre 1995 y 2017 con base en varios modelos de media y varianza condicionales, que incorporan efectos de asimetría y colas pesadas. Para tal efecto, se lleva a cabo, primero, un análisis basado en vectores autorregresivos con el fin de identificar los principales regresores externos y, luego, una serie de ajustes con distintas especificaciones del tipo AR-GARCH para pronosticar la volatilidad de las fluctuaciones del oro con base en dichos regresores.  La conclusión principal es que esas fluctuaciones pueden ser adecuadamente explicadas por el comportamiento de las series de USDEER y SP500 de acuerdo con la especificacion AR(1)-GARCH(1,1) que tiene asociada una distribución t de Student. Esto quiere decir que los determinantes de largo plazo de las variaciones del rendimiento del oro estan relacionados con las estrategias cambiarias y de proteccion contra el ciclo del mercado de valores por parte de los inversionistas.

Authors: Cabana Villca Segundo Ricardo
Published: June 2020

En 2014 las empresas del retail en Chile tuvieron ventas equivalentes a US$ 76 000 millones, no obstante, los supermercados solo aportan cerca de un 20% del total de estas ventas. Además, en la región de Coquimbo el índice de ventas de supermercados es uno de los 4 más bajos a nivel país. Es por ello, que se desarrolla el modelo de gerencia sustentable, ya que en contextos tan cambiantes aumentar la competitividad es urgente y estratégico. Esta investigación tiene como objetivo realizar un análisis de los factores que afectan la gerencia sustentable, estos son: factores organizacionales, factores del entorno, compromiso organizacional con la sustentabilidad, liderazgo transaccional y liderazgo transformacional. A su vez, la gerencia sustentable influirá sobre la competitividad, proponiendo de esta forma un modelo con 8 hipótesis. Se toma como población objetivo una fuerza laboral representada por una muestra de 361 trabajadores. Para el contraste del modelo propuesto se emplea  el método de ecuaciones estructurales, a través de los Mínimos Cuadrados Parciales (PLS). Se determinó que los constructos anteriormente señalados explican en un 81,6% la varianza de la gerencia sustentable, y ésta, a su vez, explica en un 68,4% la varianza de la competitividad, aceptando el total de las hipótesis realizadas.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, doğanın iç mekânda sergilenmesine örnek teşkil eden sanat yapıtlarının incelenmesidir. Bu örneklerin, 1960’lar ve sonrası sanatta daha görünür olmasından hareketle; çalışma 1960’lar ve sonrası süreçte yaşayan sanatçılar ve yapıtlarıyla sınırlandırılmıştır.
Bu bağlamda, galeri sistemine karşı doğada sanat yapma önerisine rağmen çalışmalarını yine de galerilerde sergileyen Richard Long, inandırıcılığından taviz vermeden doğayı taklit eden ve ikna edici bir görsellikle iç mekanda yapay doğa kesitleri sunan Roxy Paine ve dışarıdaki doğayı, ihtişamından bir şey kaybettirmeden iç mekanda gösterebilen yapıtlarıyla Olafur Eliasson ele alınmıştır. Seçilen sanatçıların yaşadığı dönemi şekillendirdiği sebebiyle çevresel ve ekolojik olaylar üzerinde durulmuştur. Bu dönemden sonra sanatçıların bu olaylara karşı daha tepkisel ve sert bir dil kullandıkları, doğaya daha derin ve detaylı baktıkları görülmüştür.
Richard Long, Roxy Paine ve Olafur Elliasson’un doğayı bilen, tanıyan bir tavırla, doğaya dair duyarlıkla yapıtlar gerçekleştirdikleri, güncel ifade olanaklarından ve sergileme yöntemlerinden faydalandıkları; yapıtlarında doğanın gücü, doğanın karmaşıklığı ve doğa sistemleri üzerinde durdukları görülmüştür. Yapıtlarını oluşturan kavramsal süreçleri incelendiğinde ise; doğayı algılama ve yorumlama biçimlerinin yine yapıtlarında doğayı baskın hale getirdiği sonucuna varılmıştır.
Çalışma süresince sanat alanında kütüphane, arşiv ve süreli yayınlardan tarama, inceleme ve veri toplama işlemi yapılmış; sanatçı web siteleri incelenmiş; sanat eleştirmeni, sanat tarihçisi ve sanatçıların düşüncelerinden faydalanılmıştır.

Authors: Pereira Cáritas Da Hora , Oliveira Danielle Pinheiro Carvalho , Oliveira Elaine Cristina de
Published: June 2020

Objetivo: compreender quais conceitos de diagnóstico sustentam algumas práticas realizadas por fonoaudiólogos que atuam em instituições de ensino. Métodos: trabalho de natureza empírica e desenho estrutural qualitativo, descritivo e de corte transversal. Participaram desta pesquisa cinco fonoaudiólogos, identificados a partir da técnica snowball. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com perguntas norteadoras sobre o trabalho desenvolvido pelo profissional na área educacional e a realização de algum diagnóstico. Após a coleta, os dados foram transcritos, organizados, selecionados, categorizados e, depois, analisados. Resultados: Verifica-se que, de modo geral, os fonoaudiólogos associam o termo “diagnóstico” à realização de triagens; comparece a prática do diagnóstico clínico; e somente um informante fez menção ao diagnóstico institucional, prática esta voltada para a caracterização da instituição escolar. Não foi observada menção ao diagnóstico situacional (processo participativo que envolve o conhecimento e as experiências de vários atores) para pensar os fatores determinantes da rede explicativa dos problemas educacionais/escolares. Conclusões: destaca-se a importância do diagnóstico situacional, a fim de se realizar uma análise técnica, social, econômica e política do contexto educacional. Alicerçada pela escuta mais aberta dos diversos atores, pode-se organizar práticas que não sejam definidas a priori pelo profissional fonoaudiólogo, mas construídas no diálogo com a escola, constituindo uma prática menos medicalizante.

Introdução: Trata-se de estudo preliminar acerca da inserção da Fonoaudiologia em projeto assistencial, cujos objetivos foram realizar proposta de intervenção fonoaudiológica a partir do levantamento de demandas relacionadas à linguagem escrita e promover ações com vistas à estimulação da linguagem e da aprendizagem. Descrição: Participaram do estudo crianças e adolescentes em situação de vulnerabilidade social, com queixas de dificuldades de leitura e escrita encaminhados pela coordenação da instituição. Os participantes foram sondados acerca da leitura, escrita, memória e consciência fonológica, em seguida participaram de 15 intervenções de estimulação da consciência fonológica, memória e linguagem escrita. Após as intervenções, os participantes foram reavaliados a fim de se comparar, verificar, analisar e descrever os resultados obtidos. 22 escolares com desempenho abaixo do esperado participaram da sondagem e seis participaram das intervenções. A análise dos dados do grupo antes e após as estimulações não apresentou diferenças estatisticamente significantes. Considerações Finais: O projeto social proporciona atividades de esporte e lazer para o escolar no turno em que não se encontra na escola. Ao longo do estudo identificou-se dificuldade de adesão às intervenções e falta de motivação para frequentar os encontros de estimulação. Foi possível levantar as demandas fonoaudiológicas relacionadas à linguagem escrita e promover a estimulação de consciência fonológica dos participantes. É importante privilegiar a conscientização dos envolvidos acerca dos benefícios da participação nos grupos de estimulação.

Authors: Smirnov, A. V. , Magarill Yu. A. , Shternis T. A.
Published: June 2020

Aim. To study current trends in the incidence and mortality of prostate cancer in Kemerovo Region.

Materials and Methods. We conducted a descriptive retrospective study by investigating cancer registry of Regional Clinical Oncology Dispensary collected in 2010-2018.

Results. During the study period, 4965 cases of prostate cancer have been documented. The average standardised incidence rate was 50,080/0000 (95% CI = 46.01; 54.43). We detected a trend towards an increase in standardized incidence from 32.410/0000 in 2010 (95% CI = 28.76; 36.05) to 73.000/0000 in 2018 (95% CI = 67.86 – 78.15) with the average annual increment of 10.22% (р < 0.0001). A significant proportion of cases (48.17% in 2018) occurred in elderly (≥ 70 years). Standardized mortality rates increased from 9.240/0000 in 2010 (95% CI = 7.29; 11.19) to 28,830/0000 in 2018 (95% CI = 25.51; 32.15), average annual increment 13.99% (р = 0.002). Component analysis showed that an incidence increase by 155.81% is primarily associated with existing risk factors (128.19%) rather than with population aging (16.71%) or their combined effect (10.91%).

Conclusion. Currently, there is a clear trend to increasing incidence and mortality from prostate cancer in Kemerovo Region, mainly due to existing risk factors.

Published: June 2020

Aim. To evaluate the efficacy of bone repair using xenogeneic native bone collagen (Bongraf COLLAGEN) as compared to other widely applied orthopaedic solutions (xenogeneic native bone mineral Geistlich Bio-Oss® and bone autograft).

Materials and Methods. We employed a conventional critical-sized (8 mm) rat calvarial defect model (48 Wistar or Sprague-Dawley rats). The artificial defect was repaired using Bongraf COLLAGEN, Geistlich Bio-Oss® utilised as a comparator, bone calvarial autograft, or remained unfilled (n = 6 per group). Rats were euthanised 4 or 12 weeks postimplantation (n = 3 per time point) with the subsequent examination (repair extent, volume, thickness and mineral density of the repaired tissue) by means of microcomputed tomography and hematoxylin and eosin staining.

Results. Expectedly, highest volume, thickness and mineral density of the repaired tissue have been observed in defects filled with autografts. Bongraf COLLAGEN and Geistlich Bio-Oss® also demonstrated a comparable and significant repair capability, yet the former option demonstrated higher bone regeneration rate.

Conclusion. Xenogeneic native bone collagen (Bongraf COLLAGEN) is comparable with xenogeneic native bone mineral (Geistlich Bio-Oss®).

Published: June 2020

Both religiosity and spiritual activities could improve security perceptions by reducing crime rates in Indonesia. However,  this did not apply to minorities because of the possibility of religious discrimination. This study intended to determine the influence of religiosity and spiritual activities on the security perceptions of religious adherents in Indonesia, namely Islam, Protestantism, Catholicism, Hinduism and Buddhism using secondary data obtained from the Indonesian Family Life Survey of 32,466 individuals. The finding revealed that religiosity had a positive and significant effect on the sense of security of all adherents except Buddhist followers. Meanwhile, spiritual activities had a positive effect on security of adherents of Islam and Hinduism. In contrast, it negatively influenced Protestant, Catholic and Buddhist followers, since terrorism and discrimination against the worship places were frequently occured. Therefore, it was concluded that religiosity had a positive effect on  security of the followers of the majority religions; however, it negatively affected to the followers of minority religion. It meant that being the followers of religion majority was still dangerous for the followers of religion minority. This evidenced that there were still lack of religious tolerance in Indonesia.

Published: June 2020

Various kinds of religious contents were widely circulated in social media with various kinds of covers to attract users, especially the millennial generation as active users of social media. Especially for non-santri teenagers who had a high curiosity in religious insight. The method used was a qualitative research with descriptive research. Data collection techniques used were non-participant observation, in-depth interviews and documentation. The informants in this study were Muslim teenagers who were still studying. The findings indicated that their favorite social media were Instagram, What’s up, and YouTube. The impact of utilizing social media was to add religious insight to Muslim adolescents who were obtained the materials before and the obstacles faced by adolescents when deciding to ‘hijrah ‘; that was,  there were acts of bullying and were considered to only follow trends. The conclusion was the use of social media among non-santri teenagers is one way to answer curiosity about religious insight. Therefore, they realized new understanding in the form of ‘hijrah’. This condition was increasingly supported by the widespread of contents in social media and the presence of routine religious teachings in various mosques considered to represent the meaning of ‘hijrah’.

This study explores the environmental aspects or concepts underlying successful English Language Teaching (ELT) as well as the support needed and the challenges that are faced by a group of primary school teachers in the context of a low enrolment school in a rural area in Sabah, Malaysia. This study adopted an exploratory qualitative approach which involved seven English language teachers who have had more than five years of teaching experience. A set of semi-structured interview questions were formulated to elicit data on the  concepts and the conditions that could either help or hinder the incorporation of those concepts in ELT. Qualitative analysis of participants’ interview data indicated that exposure to the target language, motivation and goals were the environmental aspects of language teaching practices that   affect students’ success in second language acquisition. Support from   parents, teachers and school authorities were essential in     assimilating these aspects in the teaching practices. It was found that the participants expressed tension between what they believed to be good practices and what they were restricted to do due to contextual barriers. Among the main barriers identified in this study were changes in education policy, insufficient financial support and infrastructure as well as lack of monitoring of the execution of activities in schools. Findings in this study have important implications to policy makers and curriculum developers.

Graduating students of UiTM are required to sit for English Exit Test (EET) whose objective is to gauge students’ English proficiency level and their readiness for the workplace. Since the test is administered before students finish their studies, it is important to examine if EET has a predictive validity in determining the academic performance of UiTM students. We use the students’ CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) to gauge their academic performance and English language proficiency since English is used as a medium of instruction at UiTM. A four-part predictive validity study was conducted on the relationship between students’ EET performance and academic achievement. A sample of 1,436 students’ EET results and CGPA from various faculties were analysed based on the results from four semesters which were 2016/2, 2016/4, 2017/2 and 2017/4. The relationship among the scores were summarised with correlation coefficients and a series of one-way ANOVA tests were run to see if there were any significant mean differences in the scores based on faculties in a span of two years. The findings revealed that there were positive correlations between students’ EET results and their CGPA. Thus, it can be concluded that EET has the predictive validity for students’ academic achievement which is the CGPA. The present study also found that EET can be considered a good test as the results of EET could differentiate good students from weak ones. This was determined by running a series of One-way ANOVA tests. The results revealed that faculties whose students had high English proficiency level scored better in EET than those whose students who had low English proficiency level. Therefore, the findings indicate that EET has a potential in differentiating high English proficient students from low English proficient students for their language readiness in the workplace.
Género, trabajo y educación: diferencias entre hombres y mujeres en la entrada al primer empleo
Authors: Peláez González Carolina , Rodríguez Santiago Andrés
Published: June 2020

El objetivo del artículo es analizar el calendario de entrada al primer empleo, la inserción ocupacional y las condiciones laborales, en las que se incorporan hombres y mujeres al mercado laboral, con énfasis en los niveles de escolaridad. Se utilizaron datos de la Encuesta ESRU de Movilidad Social en México (ESRU-EMOVI 2017) y se aplicaron técnicas estadísticas descriptivas. Los resultados muestran que cuando se incrementa la escolaridad se retrasa la entrada al mercado de trabajo y se reducen las brechas entre hombres y mujeres. En términos generales, persiste la segregación ocupacional por sexo en el primer empleo. Por último, cuando se ingresa al primer empleo con niveles de escolaridad altos se accede a ocupaciones de mayor estatus y con mejores condiciones laborales para hombres y mujeres.

Authors: Rebrina L. N.
Published: June 2020

The results of a study of German-speaking opposition political blogs by V. Prabel and S. Wagenknecht as examples of relevant protest practices are presented in the article. System-communicative and integrative approaches are used. The characteristics of blogs that make up the subject and collective-personal dimensions of this protest practice in the context of mediation and the postulates of the Harvard School of Conflict Studies are described. The regularities of the discursive construction of the problem, the image of the complex addresser and the addressee of the blog are determined, their argumentative, evaluative, self-presentation and phatic tactics are used. The article shows the specifics of the formation of Internet solidarity, the reflection in the analyzed practice of the phenomenon of mediation at the level of society and the individual, including the manifestation of the attributes of the changing thinking of the subjects of communication, due to the globalization of information processes and the characteristics of modern mediation in the political sphere. The postulates of the concept of “principle negotiations” by R. Fisher and W. Ury, aimed at constructivizing the conflict, and their observance by the addresser and addressee of the blog are examined, which makes it possible to assess the satisfactory communication of the parties. The inherent features of blogs that are relevant to different conflict resolution strategies are described. The results contribute to the study of the contingence of technological and sociocultural changes and can be applied in the field of conflict management.

Authors: Borlykova B. Kh. , Menyaev B. V.
Published: June 2020

The classification and systematization of some magic tales of the Khoshuts of the Xinjiang-Uigur Autonomous Region of China for the first time is presented on the basis of the Aarne-Thompson-Uther catalog and the “Comparative Index of Plots: East Slavic Tales”. In the “Comparative Index of Plots” the names of thematic sections from the Aarne-Thompson catalog and numbering are stored. For plots that do not have parallels in the Catalog, the authors introduced new numbers. The material for the study was the texts of Khoshut fairy tales published in the Collection of Folklore Works of Khoshut County on the Oirat script “Todo Bichig”. For comparison, the texts of Kalmyk tales published in the collections “Kalmyk Tales”, “Tales of Sanji Butaev” and “Keeper of the Wisdom of People’s Shan Boktaev”, as well as personal field materials of the authors were used. Comparison of fairy tale plots with indicators contributed to the classification and systematization of certain plot types of Xinjiang Khoshut magic tales: “A wonderful spouse (spouse or other relative)” (400-459), “A wonderful task” (460-499), “A wonderful assistant” (500-559), “A wonderful item” (560-649). It is noted that the similarity of plots with Kalmyk tales indicates a single national folklore fund. As a result of the analysis, interpretations and differentiating elements of some plots of Xinjiang Khoshut magic tales related to their local tradition were established.

Based on the reporting and office records stored in the State Archive of the Republic of Buryatia and the Russian State Historical Archive, the dynamics of the active and passive operations of the banking branch in the context of the all-Russian industrial expansion in 1909-1913 was analyzed. It was established that the Verkhneudinsky branch of the bank espouse cautious financial policy, issuing loans to its customers at inflated interest rates. It is proved that, despite the favorable situation in the country's economy during the indicated period, the credit and financial institution in Verkhneudinsk has largely lost its dominant position in the banking services market of Western Transbaikalia. According to the authors, this circumstance was the result of a sharp increase in competition in connection with the emergence in the fairly small financial and credit market of the region of two new banking institutions - the Verkhneudinsky and Kyakhtinsky mutual credit societies.

Authors: Stoletova A. S.
Published: June 2020

Using the example of epistolary sources extracted from the fund No. 5 “Apparatus of the Central Committee of the CPSU (1949-1991)” of the Russian State Archive of Contemporary History, the problem of the history of the personnel policy development in the USSR, that is insufficiently covered in historical science, is examined in the article. The circumstances that had developed by the mid-1970s in the light of the decree of the Central Committee of the CPSU of February 12, 1975 “On the state of criticism and self-criticism in the Tambov Regional Party Organization” are described. The question is raised about the transformation of the Party-Soviet nomenclature, its social orientations and moral guidelines. The results of a comparative analysis of letters from various regions of the USSR are presented. On their basis the conclusions about the socialist ideals of Soviet citizens and the psychology of individualism contrary to them, the mentality of accumulation, which are affirmed among the political elite, are drawn. The circumstances of the embourgeoisement of regional leaders, personal corruption, especially abuse in the exercise of property rights, are commented. It is stated that gradually illegal actions, in the absence of strict measures to dismiss executives from their posts, became systemic, taking the form of custom. The author comes to the conclusion that the political space, socio-economic structure and the spiritual and moral sphere of society have evolved towards consumer, private ownership, property interests and needs.

Authors: Tuzova O. V.
Published: June 2020

For the first time, an attempt has been made to source-based analysis of materials on musical subjects of the “Slavs” magazine, the press organ of the transnational anti-fascist All-Slavic Committee in the conditions of the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945. The relevance of Slavic musical problems in the socio-political and research terms is shown. Officially approved personalities of outstanding musicians, including opinion leaders - contemporaries of the war, whose names are found on the pages of the magazine, are revealed. It has been established that the attribution of most information units on musical art issues published in the magazine is difficult. Socially significant musical events in the country and abroad highlighted in the magazine, having local and international resonance: the premiere of the Seventh Symphony of D. D. Shostakovich, performances, concerts, accompaniment of various political and scientific events, etc. are singled out. The diverse use of the Slavic cultural potential in the musical sphere is shown. The main national informational musical and cultural vectors reflected in the publications (Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Czech, Polish) are determined. The key contexts of the magazine’s publications are noted - the struggle against the common enemy - fascist Germany, the liberation and restoration of the culture of the Slavic countries.

Authors: Tychinskikh Z. A. , Muratova S. R.
Published: June 2020

Based on the materials of the Russian State Archive of Ancient Acts (RSAAA), questions of the ethnic composition of the main city of Siberia - Tobolsk in the XVII century are examined. Attention is paid to the characteristics of various groups of the urban Turkic population. A review of census books on Siberia of the 17th century is completed. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the “Census book of Tatar yurts in river Irtysh”, introduced by the authors into scientific circulation. The results of a comparative analysis of data from the census book of 1682 with other sources are presented. The question is raised about the features of the population formation of the Tatar settlement of Tobolsk. It is proved that the formation of the Tatar urban population included various categories of the Turkic population. A classification and characterization of such population groups of the city of Tobolsk as service Tatars, feudally dependent Tatars, and Bokharans are proposed. The novelty of the study is determined primarily by the lack of knowledge of the ethnic composition of Siberian cities, in particular, in the 17th century. The relevance of the study is due to the need to identify ways of forming the population of the Siberian capital.
