Ontology-Mediated Queries for Probabilistic Databases
Authors: Borgwardt Stefan , Ceylan Ismail Ilkan , Lukasiewicz Thomas
Published: December 2023

Probabilistic databases (PDBs) are usually incomplete, e.g., contain only the facts that have been extracted from the Web with high confidence. However, missing facts are often treated as being false, which leads to unintuitive results when querying PDBs. Recently, open-world probabilistic databases (OpenPDBs) were proposed to address this issue by allowing probabilities of unknown facts to take any value from a fixed probability interval. In this paper, we extend OpenPDBs by Datalog± ontologies, under which both upper and lower probabilities of queries become even more informative, enabling us to distinguish queries that were indistinguishable before. We show that the dichotomy between P and PP in (Open)PDBs can be lifted to the case of first-order rewritable positive programs (without negative constraints); and that the problem can become NP^PP-complete, once negative constraints are allowed. We also propose an approximating semantics that circumvents the increase in complexity caused by negative constraints.
Symbolism of numbers in the Circassian epic: one and two
Authors:   Institute of Humanitarian Research – Branch of the Federal Scientific Center “Kabardino-Balkarian Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences”, Liana KHAGOZHEEVA
Published: December 2023

The article analyzes the nature of reflecting the symbolism of the number one and two in the poetics of historical and heroic epic. It is proved that they contain deep mythological roots, are the carrier of folk consciousness and mentality of ethnos, and have a clear reflection in the Adyghe folklore. To reveal the artistic forms of manifestation of these numbers on the material of historical and heroic songs and legends was the purpose of our work. To achieve the goal the following tasks were set: to analyze the texts of historical-heroic epic; to study the symbolism of the number “one” and “two” in its aesthetic plan; to trace the specificity of representation of the sacral basis of these numbers. The ideas of the Pythagorean philosophical doctrine of numbers were taken into account in the work. We support the theory of division of even and odd numbers, and attributing the former to the female sex, i. e. negative, and the latter to the male sex, i. e. positive. The study of the nature of artistic reflection of number symbolism in historical and heroic epic is important for the comprehensive study of folklore. This is the relevance of the chosen topic. The work is carried out using the structural-comparative method. The theoretical basis of the study was the works of domestic authors devoted to the study of the symbolism of numbers of the Adyghe cultural tradition. The main ideas of Z. Zh. Kudaeva and M. R. Hezheva are outlined and applied. The practical significance of the work consists in the fact that its results can be useful for specialists in the field of folkloristics, as well as for the circle of readers interested in folk traditional culture. The result of the work done is that number symbols turn out to be one of the ways of expressing moral ethnic consciousness. In the epic they are understood as means of artistic expression.
On the Ethnic Sound Ideal in the Musical Cultures of the Perm Peoples (Toward a Posing of a Problem)
Authors: Нуриева И.М.
Published: December 2023

Статья посвящена малоизученной в  этномузыковедении проблеме формирования этнического звукоидеала, который рассматривается в качестве архаичного текста культуры. Материалом для исследования послужили песенные традиции удмуртов и коми, чьи языки объединяются лингвистами в одну группу пермских языков. Проблематика исследования потребовала привлечения новых научных подходов, в частности, концепции звучащего ландшафта, разработанной на материале звуковой среды Арктики в Арктическом государственном институте культуры и искусств. Дается краткий обзор отечественной литературы, посвященной проблеме влияния природного ландшафта на музыку, обосновываются используемые в статье научные определения и методы исследования. Природный таежный ландшафт тысячелетиями занимал значительную территорию Предуралья, на которой проживали предки коми и  удмуртов. Окружающая природная среда, являясь одним из факторов формирования этнической психологии, отразилась на особенностях звукового поведения и звукового интонирования древних пермян. В  статье рассматриваются жанры сакрального лесного пения с  магической функцией  — промысловые импровизации и  импровизируемые причитания. Делается предположение, что плачевая манера пения могла сформироваться в условиях лесного таежного ландшафта и сохраниться в наиболее архаичном пласте обрядового пения.

This article is devoted to a little-studied problem in ethnomusicology — the problem of an ethnic sound ideal, which is here considered as an archaic cultural text. The study is based on the song traditions of the Udmurts and Komi, whose languages linguists consider one group of Permian languages. This research employs a new approach, the concept of the sound landscape, developed concerning the Arctic sound environment at the Arctic State Institute of Culture and Arts. The article includes a brief review of the Russian literature devoted to the problem of the influence of the natural landscape on music. The taiga where the ancestors of the Komi and Udmurts lived has been a significant part of the Ural Mountains for thousands of years. The natural environment, being one of the factors in the formation of ethnic psychology, was reflected in the peculiarities of the music making and intonation of the ancient Permians. The article examines the genres of sacred forest singing — field improvisations and improvised lamentations — that had a magical function. The author assumes that the manner of singing lamentations may have been formed in the forest taiga setting and that it is preserved in the most archaic layer of ritual singing.
“Copper” Epithets in Yakut and Altai Epics
Authors: Корякина Р.В. , Павлова С.Н.
Published: December 2023

В  статье рассматриваются «медные» эпитеты, образованные от номинации металла «медь», в якутских и алтайских эпических текстах. Цель статьи — определение семантики, функций данных эпитетов и выявление особенностей их функционирования в эпосах якутов и алтайцев, имеющих этническую и историческую общность в глубокой древности. Актуальность темы обусловлена ее недостаточной изученностью в сравнительно-сопоставительном ракурсе. Материалом для исследования послужили тексты якутских олонхо и алтайских эпосов. Было установлено, что эпитеты дьэс ‘красномедныйʼ (як.) — jес ‘медныйʼ (алт.), алтан ‘медныйʼ (як.) — алтын ‘золотойʼ (алт.) созвучны; совпадает часть определяемых слов эпитетов и их функционирование. Выявленные сходства подтверждают формирование этих эпосов в едином этническом и временном пространстве в глубокой древности. Также установлено, что в якутских олонхо эпитет алтан ‘медныйʼ используется, когда речь идет о мире айыы, и имеет дополнительную коннотацию ‘добротный, красивыйʼ, а эпитет дьэс ‘красномедныйʼ — когда говорится о Нижнем мире и имеет дополнительную коннотацию ‘внушающее страх, опасениеʼ. В алтайском эпосе эпитет jес ‘медныйʼ приобретает положительную или отрицательную коннотацию в зависимости от определяемого слова, обозначающего предмет, относящийся к миру людей (jес jебе, jес чирее(де), jес тайак) или подземному миру (jес сырга, jес тумчук, jес улом), отражая дуалистический характер эпического мира.

This article discusses epithets denoting copper in Yakut and Altai epic texts. Although these texts have shared common ethnic and historic features since ancient times, there have been few comparative studies of them. The article identifies the semantic meaning and functions of copper epithets as well as their special features. It establishes that such epithets as Yak. djes (“copper-red”) and Alt. jes (“copper”) as well as Yak. altan (“copper”) and altyn (“golden”) have a similar sound form. Also, the definable words in the epithets and their functioning coincide. These words also coincide in their spelling as well as in other linguistic features. Such similarities confirm the fact that these epic traditions were established in a common ethnic and temporal space in the distant past. Analysis also shows that the epithet altan (“copper”) is used in the Yakut olonkho when the world of the Aiyy tribe is being described; it has the connotation of “noble” and “beautiful,” while the epithet djes (“copper-red”) is used when speaking of the lower world and thus also has the connotation “provoking fear or misgiving.” As for the Altai epic texts, the epithet jes (“copper”) acquires a positive or negative connotation depending on the object denoted, which may refer to the human or the underworld. These features reflect the dual character of the epic world in the Altai epic.

This article examines the traditions of zhgons — wool carders (sherstobity) from the Makaryev district in the Kostroma region. Sherstobity are artisans that specialize in manufacturing of felt wool clothing and shoes. The article considers them as a closed social group and for the first time describes their history and organizational principles as well as the customs and rituals associated with the process of felt wool manufacturing. One of the main focuses of this article is zhgon argot, the social dialect of this particular group of Kostroma sherstobity. The article offers an overview of the dictionaries and studies of zhgon argot. Based on new, unpublished research material, the author examines the role of zhgon argot and the contexts in which it is used. The way in which zhgon argot functions in sherstobity folklore is examined through the study of chastushki. Materials for this study were collected during a folklore expedition conducted by the St. Petersburg Rimsky-Korsakov State Conservatory in the Makaryev district of Kostroma region in 2009; they are housed in the archives of the Conservatory’s Folklore and Ethnography Center (collection № 253). Publications from the 1920s about the history of seasonal work and sherstobity in Russia were also used as source material. The results of this study are of interest to folklorists, ethnographers, anthropologists, and linguists.
Biomimetic Vesicles with Designer Phospholipids Can Sense Environmental Redox Cues

Published: December 2023

Cell-like materials that sense environmental cues can serve as new-generation biosensors and help advance the understanding of intercellular communication. While top-down approaches typically require genetic engineering or complex logic circuits, bottom-up assembly of chemical building blocks to form protocell models remains to be a major challenge. Herein we describe giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) with biomimetic lipid membranes capable of sensing environmental redox cues. The GUVs employ activity-based sensing through designer phospholipids that are fluorescently activated under a specific reductive (hydrogen sulfide) or oxidative (hydrogen peroxide) condition. These synthetic phospholipids, derived from 1,2-dipalmitoyl-rac-glycero-3-phosphocholine, possess a head group with heterocyclic aromatic motifs and, thus, deviate significantly from the natural phosphocholine. Despite structural deviation in the head group, designer phospholipids (0.5–1.0 mol%) mixed with natural lipids can vesiculate, and the resulting GUVs (7–20 µm in diameter) remain intact after redox sensing. All-atom molecular dynamics simulations gave insight into how these lipids are positioned within the hydrophobic core of the membrane bilayer and at the membrane-water interface. This work provides a purely chemical method to investigate potential redox signaling and opens up new design opportunities for soft materials that mimic protocells.

Combined therapies play a key role in the fight against complex pathologies, such as cancer and related drug-resistance issues. This is particularly relevant in targeted therapies where inhibition of the drug target can be overcome by cross-activating complementary pathways. Unfortunately, the drug combinations approved to date –mostly based on small molecules– face several problems such as toxicity effects, which limit their clinical use. To address these issues, we have designed a new class of RNase H-sensitive nanostructure (3ASO) that can be disassembled intracellularly upon cell entry, leading to the simultaneous release of three different therapeutic oligonucleotides (ONs), tackling each of them the mRNA of a different protein. Here, we used Escherichia coli RNase H1 as a model to study an unprecedent mode of recognition and cleavage, that is mainly dictated by the topology of our RNA·DNA-based hybrid construct. As a model system for our technology we have created 3ASO nanostructures designed to specifically inhibit the expression of HER2, Akt and Hsp27 in HER2+ breast cancer cells. These trifunctional ON tools displayed very low toxicity and good levels of antiproliferative activity in HER2+ breast cancer cells. The present study will be of great potential in the fight against complex pathologies involving multiple mRNA targets, as the proposed cleavable designs will allow the efficient single-dose administration of different ON drugs simultaneously.

Authors: Xie Zhihua
Published: December 2023

As a crucial supervisory department overseeing economic operations, the audit department plays a pivotal role in safeguarding the healthy development of the country’s economy, exposing corruption, and effectively maintaining social and economic peace and stability. The work of auditing involves detecting existing issues, providing remedies, and consistently contributing to national governance. However, as the market economic environment undergoes continuous changes, legal systems advance, and the audit environment becomes more complex, audit risks have gradually gained prominence. The prevention of audit risks has increasingly captured the attention of audit agencies at all levels. This necessitates audit institutions to continually adapt to new challenges, comprehend risks, and exert effective control over them. This article delves into the causes of audit risks, exploring ways to effectively identify and respond to these risks within a complex and ever-changing environment. The objective is to ensure the objectivity and accuracy of audit reports, allowing the audit function to truly serve as an “immune” system, protecting public interests.

Fluorescent reaction of wheat seedlings when infected by Bipolaris sorokiniana
Authors: Gurova T. A. , Chesnochenko N. E.
Published: December 2023

Results of the studies of photosynthetic activity of seedlings of three varieties of spring soft wheat grown under controlled climatic conditions and their response to infection with the pathogen of common root rot of cereals Bipolaris sorokiniana Shoem. by chlorophyll fluorescence (ChlF) parameters are presented. Chlorophyll fluorescence was recorded with a Dual-PAM-100/F fluorimeter in the mode of recording slow kinetics of dark induction curves with pulse saturation analysis (Slow Kinetics). The studies were conducted in 2021, 2022. The varietal specificity of formation of adaptive reactions of 10–16-day-old spring wheat seedlings under infection with B. sorokiniana (5000 conidia per grain) according to the daily dynamics of the ChlF parameters was established. The information content of the ChlF parameters Y(II), ETR, qP, Fv/Fm, Fv/F0, Y(NPQ), qN and Y(NО) as biomarkers for assessing pathogen resistance of the varieties at the level of photosynthetic apparatus was confirmed. The response of the more resistant wheat varieties Novosibirskaya 29 and Sibirskaya 21 to the pathogen introduction was less pronounced compared to the less resistant variety Novosibirskaya 41. The more resistant varieties exhibited the smallest changes in the ChlF parameters relative to the control. The greatest inter-variety differences in infection with B. sorokiniana (from 1.9 to 8.6 times) were manifested in 16-day-old seedlings. The level of the photosynthetic activity in the formation of adaptive reactions during the pathogenesis of B. sorokiniana can serve as a criterion of stress resistance, which will make it possible to conduct complex studies on modeling the system plant – host – pathogen, to assess the primary nonspecific reactions and adaptive components of stress resistance of spring wheat varieties.
Lexical composition of Kadyrgali Bek’s dastans
Authors: Khisamieva Z. A.

.

The article describes the vocabulary of the monument written in the Old Tatar literary language – the work of Kadyrgali Bek (Kadyr Ali-bek) conventionally called “Jami at-tawarikh” (“A Collection of Chronicles”). Kadyrgali Bek was the vizier of the Kasimov Khan. In honor of Uraz-Muhammad’s enthronement, he wrote “The Praise” dedicated to Tsar Boris Godunov. The work also includes Rashid ad-Din’s translation of the work of the same name and dastans about the Golden Horde khans, written by the author himself. All found copies of this work come from the Volga-Ural Region and are associated with Kazan and Kasimov. This written monument, created in 1602 in Kasimov, stands out among other monuments because it intertwines and mixes grammatical forms and vocabulary of various dialects of the Turkic-Tatar language. Kadyrgali Bek himself calls the language of his composition Turk. This language is of a mixed nature, it combines literary forms that go back to the Volga Turks (the 12th-15th centuries) and it was to a certain extent influenced by the Chagatai tradition with some elements of the Tatar colloquial language of the 16th-17th centuries.
My first journey beyond Kazan: “Ura Floode"
Authors: Isanbet N. S.
Published: December 2023

The article systematizes the material from the history of folklore expeditions made by the researcher-encyclopedist Naki Isanbet outside Kazan. Hiking expeditions were undertaken by the scholar during his work as a methodologist in the Atninsky and Kzyl-Yul Districts of the TASSR in 1938.

The analysis of the bayt “Ura Flooded” is based on the memories of its residents, legends and other sources. For the first time the consolidated bayt text, compiled by the folklorist, has been submitted for publication. By analyzing Tatar sources, the article reconstructs the life of the manufacturers of the Lower Urals.
Glossing with Runes: The Old Northumbrian Gloss to the Lindisfarne Gospels
Authors:   Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED), Senra-Silva Inmaculada
Published: December 2023

The purpose of this contribution is to offer a thorough examination of the use of the m and D runes in the Old English gloss to the Lindisfarne Gospels in the context of the studies of Anglo-Saxon Runica Manuscripta. The book known as the Lindisfarne Gospels is a religious and artistic world treasure and thus has received considerable attention for centuries. In this sense, it is highly regarded by palaeographers, art historians, linguists and collectors alike. From a philological point of view, research within diachronic variation studies has centred on the Old English gloss, and in particular on the analysis of the distinctive dialectal features. Other lines of research have focused on the English dependence of the Old English gloss on the Latin text. However, the glossator's use of runes has never been subjected to exhaustive scholarly study. In this sense, this article constitutes the first in-depth study to examine the runic material in the gloss to the Latin text.
Traumatic Seclusion in M. Night Shyamalan’s Garrison Trilogy: Signs (2002), The Village (2004) and The Lady in the Water (2006)
Authors:   Universidad de Sevilla, Prieto Pablos Juan Antonio
Published: December 2023

Shyamalan’s Signs, The Village and The Lady in the Water turn around the need to find refuge away from violence, in an updated version of Northrop Frye’s garrison motif. Absolute safety is, however, threatened by spectral, even fictitious monstrous creatures that can be defined as projections of specific traumatic situations, provoked partly by the terrorist attacks of September 2001 but mostly by Shyamalan’s own response to social violence.
“All of our lives have been terribly shaped by what went on before us”: History and (Post)memory in Michael Ondaatje’s Running in the Family and Anil’s Ghost
Authors:   Uniwersystet Zielonogórski, Gołębiowska Urszula
Published: December 2023

Michael Ondaatje’s fictionalized memoir Running in the Family (1982) and his novel Anil’s Ghost (2000) are thematically concerned with a return to the country of birth and a confrontation with the past, both individual and collective. In both the memoir and the novel, the history of the author’s native Sri Lanka is not only consciously recorded, but also inscribed on material traces and on the human body, “terribly” and insidiously shaping subsequent generations. The article argues that this unconscious, hidden past involves gradual changes and developments that occur imperceptibly over the long term, including events whose effects are transmitted unconsciously through intergenerational (epigenetic) transfer and imprinted on individuals and communities. In both works, Ondaatje adopts a long-term perspective reminiscent of Fernand Braudel’s longue durée to rethink the Sri Lankan past in a way that dismisses a deterministic idea of historical inevitability. As argued by Walter Benjamin and contemporary interpreters of the longue durée, the future is not predetermined. The past holds unrealized potentialities, which may inspire and shape alternative futures. What sustains this way of thinking is a belief in the power of counterfactual thinking to subvert the inevitability of the current order or values.
Cryptocurrency and Crypto Assets in the Perspective of Islamic Legal System Philosophy
Authors: Abadi Khafid , Ahmad Taufiq  , Rizka Roikhana
Published: December 2023

The purpose of this research is to determine whether or not cryptocurrencies are legitimate in Islam as both a currency and a commodity. This is research done in a library. The research is descriptive-analytical and uses Jasser Auda's Islamic legal philosophy approach to try to explain cryptocurrency law. The findings demonstrate that, from the standpoint of Islamic legal philosophy, the law governing cryptocurrency as a currency is comprehensive (tafsil). Whether it is halal or not by looking at how the goal was achieved, specifically (benefit). If the cryptocurrency has clear benefits, such as the existence of underlying assets and the government's role in realizing the general benefit (maslahah ammah), it can be considered halal. Similarly, cryptocurrencies that lack clear regulations and are not backed by assets will be haram due to the possibility of mafsadat. Despite the fact that cryptocurrencies are regarded as al-Ma'l al-ma'nawiyyah because they do not conform to the objectives of sharia in assets (maqashid as-shari'ah fi al- mal), the law of cryptocurrencies as assets (crypto assets) is not valid. This research certainly has limitations, especially related to field data, namely interviews with cryptocurrency business actors. Therefore, to develop further research, not only juridical research but also juridical-empirical research.
