Western Europe in the Letters of the Clergy from Paris to the Valaam Monastery During the Interwar Period
Authors: Шевченко Татьяна Ивановна
Published: February 2024

В статье анализируется содержание писем 1927–1938 гг. трёх священнослужителей-эмигрантов, которые писали письма из Парижа и его окрестностей в Спасо-Преображенский Валаамский монастырь, находившийся в Финляндии. Авторы писем — будущие архимандриты Афанасий (Нечаев), Стефан (Светозаров), протоиерей Симеон Солодовников. Все трое возглавляли приходы и вели активную пастырскую деятельность. В письмах отражены их мысли о происходивших событиях, аргументы в пользу выбора той или иной стороны в юрисдикционных спорах между митрополитом Евлогием (Георгиевским), Архиерейским Синодом РПЦЗ и Московской Патриархией, а также упоминаются малоизвестные факты того времени. Автор статьи представляет содержание писем в контексте исторической ситуации, сложившейся в русском церковном зарубежье в межвоенный период, рассматривает такое явление, как «церковный параллелизм» юрисдикций и то, как он отразился на судьбе каждого из упомянутых священнослужителей.

The article analyzes the content of the letters of three emigrant clergymen who wrote letters from Paris and its environs to the Lord’s Transfiguration Valaam Monastery, located in Finland. The correspondence dates back to 1927–1938. The authors of the letters — future Archimandrites Athanasius (Nechaev) and Stephan (Svetozarov) — one after another were deans of Russian parishes of the Moscow Patriarchate in Western Europe in 1933–1947. The letters relate to the period of jurisdictional disputes between Metropolitan Eulogius (Georgiyevsky), the Bishops’ Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad and the Moscow Patriarchate, after which Metropolitan Eulogius became subordinate to the Patriarch of Constantinople in 1931. The two aforementioned authors of the letters remained in the jurisdiction of the Moscow Patriarchate. The third author, Archpriest Simeon Solodovnikov, who had fled the USSR in 1930, joined the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad. All three clergymen headed parishes and conducted active pastoral activities. The letters reflect their thoughts about the events that took place, arguments in favor of choosing one or another party in jurisdictional disputes, and also mention little-known facts of that time. The article’s author presents the letters` content in the context of the historical situation that developed in the Russian church abroad during the interwar period, considers such a phenomenon as «church parallelism» of jurisdictions and how it affected the fate of each of the mentioned clergymen.

Published: February 2024

Цель данной статьи — рассказать о формировании собрания книг кирилловской печати в библиотеке Московской духовной академии после её открытия в 1946 г. Увидеть процесс создания коллекции стало возможно благодаря информации, содержащейся в инвентарных книгах библиотеки Московской духовной академии, а также пометам, штампам, экслибрисам и владельческим записям в самих древних книгах. Для решения поставленной задачи потребовалось просмотреть и сфотографировать несколько десятков книг кирилловской печати, находящихся в древлехранилище библиотеки, расшифровать некоторые вкладные записи, штампы, печати и т.п., найти возможную информацию о вкладчиках. Особое внимание было уделено Евангелиям. В результате на примере печатных Евангелий мы имеем представление о уникальном собрании кириллических книг XVI–XX вв.

The purpose of this article is to talk about the formation of a collection of books printed by Kirill in the library of the Moscow Theological Academy after its opening in 1946. It became possible to see the process of creating the collection thanks to the information contained in the inventory books of the MDA library, as well as notes, stamps, bookplates and ownership records in the ancient books themselves. To solve this problem, it was necessary to look through and photograph several dozen books of the Kirill seal located in the ancient storage of the library, decipher some insert notes, stamps, seals, etc., and find possible information about the depositors. Particular attention was paid to the Gospels. As a result, using the example of printed Gospels, we have an idea of a unique collection of Cyrillic books of the 16th–20th centuries.

Published: February 2024

The described information technology for improving data protection (ITIDP) in information communication systems (ICS) is built on the basis of a system approach for the implementation of hardware and software solutions for encryption/decryption of data flows in a given continuum of hardware-software-space-time limitations. The formulation of the task for the implementation of ITIDP is substantiated, and a variant of its architecture is proposed. Examples of the development of possible hardware and software modules and resources for the creation of both ITIDP and ICS with increased protection of real-time data flows are given. The issues of choosing methods and means of data encryption in real technical systems and criteria for assessing the necessity and adequacy of encrypted protection of information flows depending on the usefulness and confidentiality of transmitted data are discussed. As a practical approbation of the application of the proposed technology for solving applied problems, examples of the synthesis and research of a special processor for a block cipher with sequential data processing and dynamic key correction, as well as the results of research and optimization of the RSA encryption model for its use in critical application mobile systems with limited hardware and software resources. It is shown that for systems with limited hardware resources in the RSA model of the cipher, it is more correct to use not the Euler function, but the Carmichael function. This approach, together with the use of a modified method of successive approximations according to the rules of modular algebra for calculating large powers of a large base with the subsequent determination of the remainder by a given modulus of a very large number, makes it possible to remove restrictions on the bit rate of data in low-power computers and speed up data decryption processes. The use of modular architecture in the proposed information technology ensures its scalability and quick reconfiguration for the study of various methods of cryptographic data protection.

The study aimed to evaluate the interaction between fertilizer doses (N:P:K) at planting the inoculation of the Metahizium anisopliae fungus in sugarcane billets during the initial development of the plant. The experiment was conducted in pots, under full sun, in a 2 x 5 factorial scheme, specified as follows: with and without inoculation of the fungus in the billets and five doses of NPK fertilizer (0%, 50%, 75%; 100%, and 125% of recommended fertilization). Plant height was measured at 53, 77, and 91 days after planting (DAP), and the root and shoot dry matter (DM) was quantified at 91 DAP. There was no significant influence of the interaction between fungus and NPK fertilizer doses (P>0.05) on all variables analyzed. However, a significant difference was observed for inoculation (P<0.05) and doses of NPK fertilizer <0.05). Inoculation of M. anisopliae resulted in greater plant height and root and shoot DM than non-inoculated plants, regardless of fertilizer doses. In this sense, new studies must be conducted to find a way to reduce the use of NPK fertilizer in sugarcane by M. anisopliae inoculation.

Simultaneous Methemoglobinemia and Hemolytic Anemia Related to Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and Phenazopyridine
Authors:   Emergency Medicine Specialists, S.C, Wauwatosa, Unites States., Reis Michael
Published: February 2024

Background: Methemoglobinemia manifests with cyanosis but no respiratory distress. Many substances implicated in methemoglobinemia also are known to cause either drug-induced hemolysis or oxidative stress on erythrocytes, leading to hemolysis. This case report described a patient presenting acutely with both cyanosis and jaundice. Case Presentation The patient is a 76-year-old female with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and a recently diagnosed urinary tract infection (UTI) who presented to the emergency department with urinary frequency and dysuria. She had recently been started on trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) and phenazopyridine for her UTI. On physical exam, she had both cyanosis and jaundice, giving her skin a dull, gray color. She had hypoxia to 75% oxygen saturation, which did not remarkably respond to supplemental oxygen. She also had hyperbilirubinemia and anemia. Laboratory errors confounded the evaluation; however, there was high concern for methemoglobinemia, and empiric treatment was initiated. Methemoglobinemia was later confirmed and the patient improved, although she required multiple blood transfusions. After removing the offending agents, treating the methemoglobinemia, and providing supportive care for her hemolytic anemia, she improved and was discharged home. Conclusion: Although methemoglobinemia has a classic presentation of cyanosis without respiratory distress, additional coincident pathologies can easily confuse the clinical picture. Understanding the pathophysiology of methemoglobinemia is key to understanding why our patient also developed hemolysis. When cyanosis and jaundice are both present, simultaneous management of methemoglobinemia and hemolytic anemia may be needed. Special attention to glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase status is required in these circumstances to avoid patient harm with methylene blue.

Published: February 2024

The article highlights the role of the service sector in the development of entrepreneurship in rural areas. An analysis of the works of Ukrainian scientists dedicated to the development of the service sector in Ukraine, as well as the development of entrepreneurship in the countryside, was carried out. A number of methods that were used in this study are highlighted. It is indicated that entrepreneurial activity in rural areas consists of both traditional entrepreneurship in the production and sale of agricultural products, and in less traditional types of business, in particular, entrepreneurship in the provision of services. The types of services provided in rural areas are highlighted and graphically displayed, in particular, the authors note that there are three groups of such services. Since state organizations are responsible for the provision of social services to rural residents, the authors focused their attention on service provision activities carried out on a commercial basis. It is indicated that a significant share in the provision of services in the village is occupied by sellers of production agricultural services, in particular services in crop production. It is noted that the majority of buyers of production agricultural services are households, as they do not have the resources to purchase all types of agricultural machinery. It is noted that the main providers of production agricultural services are natural persons-entrepreneurs and officially unregistered sellers of such services. It is indicated that other services, the provision of which can become a form of entrepreneurial activity in the village, are household services, in particular, services for repairing clothes, shoes, appliances, transport services, hairdressing services, etc. In addition, it is said that the opening of catering establishments and the provision of tourist services can also exist in rural areas as a form of entrepreneurship. The problem of the lack of adequate statistical information on the activity of entrepreneurial structures in the field of rural services has been established. It is proposed to implement and actively promote the development of alternative types of entrepreneurship in the provision of services in the countryside, in particular, to open small businesses for the provision of household services, as well as touristic services.

Published: February 2024

The article conducted comprehensive studies of the economic efficiency of using feed in milk production in Ukrainian agricultural enterprises. The principal value and natural indicators that characterize the productivity of feed use in dairy cattle breeding are defined. Based on the benchmarking technique, an assessment of the relative technological efficiency of the use of feed by the regions of Ukraine was carried out, and potential reserves of their reduction relative to the reference value of the indicator of feed consumption per 1 t of milk was established. The main measures to increase the economic efficiency of using feed in milk production in Ukraine's agricultural enterprises are proposed. According to the results of the study, it was established that the payment of feed in enterprises that produce milk in Ukraine for 2010-2023 increased from 2.5 to 17 UAH per 1 feed unit, which is due to the devaluation of the national currency during the studied period and partly due to the increase in technological efficiency use of fodder. In terms of US dollars, the feed payment for milk production during the same period increased from 0.31 to 0.51 dollars per 1 feed unit. As of the end of 2023, Ukrainian enterprises spent an average of 0.41 dollars of the cost of all types of feed to obtain 1 dollar of the cost of raw milk sold. Accordingly, for 1 dollar of the cost of fodder, enterprises produce and sell raw milk worth 2.41 dollars. It is essential to diversify milk sales channels with a partial focus on direct sales directly to the final consumer, taking into account the almost three-fold ratio between the level of retail and wholesale prices of milk sales. To increase the economic efficiency of the use of fodder in the dairy cattle industry of Ukraine, it is also necessary to implement a system of organizational and technological measures to improve the conditions of keeping, animal care, veterinary support, optimization of feeding rations, fodder storage conditions, implementation of cow productivity monitoring using specialized software.

Published: February 2024

Implementing the vertical diversification strategy for pig-breeding enterprises in Ukraine is one of the factors in increasing their economic efficiency and competitiveness. Mastering the following interrelated links of production and sale in animal husbandry increases enterprises' financial stability and economic security. The article economically substantiates the expediency of capital investments in developing vertically diversified pork production enterprises in Ukraine. The need for investments for the formation of fixed and working capital for the implementation of the project has been determined. The main operating costs for the organization of pig breeding, slaughter, and the sale of meat through the direct sales channel in the amount of 200 tons per year have been calculated. Planning of workforce needs for project implementation has been carried out. The leading indicators of the economic efficiency of capital investments for the production and sale of pork in the newly established enterprise have been determined. According to the study results, the relatively high investment attractiveness of developing small vertically diversified pork production enterprises in Ukraine with an orientation to local markets is substantiated. It has been established that for the implementation of the proposed project, about 1.1 million euros of advanced capital is needed, which is expected to pay off in 3.5 years. The project's five-year net present value has been determined to reach 690,000 euros at a discount rate of 2%. Accordingly, the projected internal rate of return will exceed 26%. The average annual net profit during the project implementation period will be 268 thousand euros, with an average operating cost of 457 thousand euros, allowing us to achieve 65% profitability of production and 32% profitability of pork sales. The projected average net return on capital for the project implementation period is expected to be 35%. The development of vertical diversification in small pork production enterprises in Ukraine will increase the added value and productivity of the involved financial, labor, material, and technical resources.

Authors: El Morabit Nadir
Published: February 2024

The primary objective of this article is to conduct an in-depth analysis of multiple factors-cultural, religious, and educational—that shape the perceptions of gender equality among female high school students. Focusing specifically on this demographic sample enables a nuanced exploration into how adolescence interacts with these factors to influence their perspectives on gender roles and expectations. This study employs a mixed-methods approach, going beyond the traditional educational paradigms, to include a variety of external influences such as familial backgrounds, religious texts, sociocultural norms, and the overall school environment. The research aims to contribute to the scholarly discourse on gender equality by enriching our understanding of how societal attitudes permeate classroom walls to shape young girls' viewpoints. By doing so, this study aspires to unearth the implicit and explicit messages received by female students that sustain gender imbalances. This serves the dual purpose of not only highlighting these influencing variables but also leveraging this knowledge to develop targeted interventions. The ultimate goal of this research is to formulate insightful strategies that promote a more equitable and empowering perception of girls and, by extension, women in society. These strategies will be rooted in the findings, which delineate the complex relationship between culture, religion, and education in shaping these perspectives. Thus, the research provides practical insights that could serve as foundational elements for fostering a more inclusive and empowering socio-educational environment for female students and women in the future.

Authors: Maldonado-Ortega Valeria , Cerna-Chávez Ernesto , Hernández-Bautista Omegar , Ochoa-Fuentes Yisa María
Published: February 2024

Los plaguicidas son considerados sustancias de interés y blanco de estudio debido a los efectos secundarios que tienen en el medio ambiente y la salud humana. El seguimiento de sus residuos facilita el monitoreo de la posible contaminación en alimentos que consumimos diariamente. El objetivo fue comparar dos técnicas para validar la espectrofotometría como alternativa para la detección de pesticidas organofosforados. Se evaluaron muestras de suelo, agua y chile de los estados de Aguascalientes, Sinaloa y Tamaulipas, por cromatografía líquida de alta eficiencia y espectrofotometría. Los datos se compararon con el programa R 3.6 y el paquete agricolae 1.3. Se observó similitud estadística en la mayoría de los plaguicidas monitoreados, por lo cual, se recomienda la espectrofotometría como técnica alternativa para su detección, sin embargo, para monocrotofos se sugiere seguir con estudios.

Published: February 2024

La salinidad es uno de los principales factores que causa pérdidas en los cultivos hasta un 50%, lo cual pone en riesgo la seguridad alimentaria mundial. Durante la evolución, las plantas han adquirido mecanismos de defensa, los cuales, son regulados por genes específicos cuya principal función es contrarrestar el daño por salinidad. Es necesaria la variabilidad genética en los cultivos para que se presenten genotipos tolerantes al estrés. Una de las estrategias que se puede emplear para encontrar tolerancia es la combinación de mutagénesis y cultivo de tejidos vegetales, ya que se producen miles de plantas en espacios reducidos y periodos cortos, además, con el uso de agentes selectivos como el NaCl pueden obtenerse plantas tolerantes a salinidad. La presente revisión abordará tópicos relacionados con el cultivo de tejidos vegetales, la mutagénesis inducida y la combinación de ambos como estrategias para obtención de plantas tolerantes a salinidad de interés agrícola.

Los antibióticos como aditivos en dietas ofrecidas a ganado en crecimiento-finalización están siendo prohibidos, por tanto, el propósito de esta investigación fue determinar parámetros productivos de toretes al usar como aditivo una mezcla de aceites esenciales y vitamina D3 (EO+HyD). Por ello, se realizó un ensayo de alimentación con 1,620 toretes los cuales se alimentaron los primeros 126 días de la engorda con una dieta suplementada con EO+HyD (120+0.12 mg/kg de dieta, respectivamente) o con monensina sódica (MON, 25 mg/kg de dieta). El ganado que recibió EO+HyD mostró mayor (P<0.05) ganancia diaria de peso y eficiencia para ganancia (4.1%), mejorando 3.2% la energía neta de la dieta. La morbilidad fue menor (2.72 vs 6.17%) para el ganado suplementado con EO+HyD. Se concluye que EO+HyD es una alternativa promisoria para reemplazar la monensina sódica en la formulación de alimentos en la etapa inicial para bovinos de engorda
Batallas de papel. Temis, sus caricaturas y la caída del régimen porfiriano en Aguascalientes, 1910-1911
Authors: Goméz-Serrano José de Jesús , Barba-Rodríguez Marlene
Published: February 2024

El objetivo de este artículo es reconstruir la trayectoria de Temis, un semanario de oposición al régimen porfirista que se publicó en Aguascalientes entre 1910 y 1911. Se estudian su programa, sus artículos y sus caricaturas, que ridiculizaron al gobernador y a sus principales colaboradores. Para calibrar su importancia, se propone una identificación de los personajes retratados y de los asuntos aludidos, en especial el “negocio de la Bancaria”, relacionado con la renovación del sistema de abasto de agua de la ciudad. Al final, se trata de identificar a los responsables de Temis, que eran “los mayores enemigos” de ese negocio, pero que por razones de prudencia mantuvieron el anonimato. En la conclusión, se recupera la metáfora del gatopardismo, para ilustrar lo que pasó con algunos porfiristas que supieron despojarse de su antigua piel para convertirse en “revolucionarios”.
Biodiversidad y artesanías de México
Authors: Gasca-Rodríguez Alethia , Guevara-Chumacero Luis Manuel
Published: February 2024

México es un país megadiverso, con gran variabilidad de recursos naturales que satisfacen necesidades para el bienestar humano, donde las artesanías son un importante ejemplo por su valor como patrimonio cultural. En el país se han identificado 22 regiones bioculturales, como el Valle de Tehuacán, reconocida por ser la región semiárida con la biodiversidad más rica de América del Norte. En cada región del país, las artesanías forman parte de la tradición cultural y representan un ingreso importante. Según datos del INEGI, en 2019, las artesanías contribuyeron con el 19.1 por ciento del total de ingresos en el sector de la cultura. Sin embargo, en los últimos años la demanda por artesanías producidas con materiales naturales ha aumentado, provocando una mayor explotación de los recursos y/o la modificación del medio ambiente.

Published: February 2024

La identificación y valoración de las prácticas docentes que se desarrollan en las escuelas normales es relevante dada su contribución potencial a la calidad de la educación que se brinda en estas instituciones. Este texto se deriva de un estudio centrado en identificar los sistemas de evaluación existentes en las escuelas normales y su posible impacto en la práctica del formador de docentes. Los principales resultados indican que existen sistemas de evaluación internos y externos. Los primeros, en los que se enfocará este artículo, son aplicados en el 80% de las normales participantes en el estudio y surgen con el objetivo de valorar la práctica de los formadores, paradójicamente, en la mayoría de los casos, como prácticas impuestas desde el exterior de las escuelas pero que se asumen posteriormente como procesos internos.
Estudios de los efectos del pH, densidad estomática, ácido-3-indolacético y ácido abscísico en cactáceas cultivadas in vitro y ex vitro

El metabolismo ácido de las crasuláceas (MAC) generalmente se lleva a cabo en las plantas que viven en zonas áridas, con poca disponibilidad de agua. Estas plantas se caracterizan por ser suculentas, tener cutícula cerosa y llevar a cabo fotosíntesis en los tallos. En este trabajo se abordan varios aspectos de su metabolismo en cactáceas in vitro y ex vitro. Se analizó la variación del pH cada hora durante un día y se observó que en Opuntia ficus-indica in vitro bajo luz continua presenta un comportamiento C3. El estudio de los estomas permitió relacionar a los de tipo paralelocítico con la subfamilia Cactoideae, y a los de tipo opuntioide con las subfamilias Pereskioideae y Opuntioideae en las cactáceas cultivadas in vitro. Además, se observó una estimulación en la apertura estomática en O. ficus-indica y P. sacharosa con ácido indolacético, sólo a concentraciones elevadas (100 y 1000 µM).

Derajat kesehatan yang tinggi akan berpengaruh kepada kinerja tubuh yang prima. PT. X memberikan fasilitas untuk karyawan mengkonsumsi makanan di kantin. Kantin yang tidak mencapai saniter baik dapat berdampak kepada kesehatan. Serangga yang sering muncul dan berterbangan di area kantin yaitu lalat. Lalat merupakan vektor atau binatang penganggu dengan filum rthropoda dan ordo diptera. Tujuan mengetahui perbedaan frekuensi gelombang ultrasonik terhadap penurunan kepadatan lalat. Jenis penelitian kuasi eksperimen dengan pre-test post-test without control design. Populasi seluruh lalat yang berada di kantin, sampelnya adalah sebagian lalat yang hinggap pada flygrill di kantin dengan besar sampel sebanyak 6 kali pengulangan dengan 3 perlakuan, sehingga besarnya sampel 18 sebelum perlakuan 18 setelah perlakuan. Alat pengumpul data adalah fly grill, thermohygrometer, dan hand counter. Teknik pengumpulan data dengan melakukan pengukuaran kepadatan lalat, suhu dan kelembaban udara. Teknik pengambilan sampel insidental sampling. Analisis data menggunakan One-way Anova. Hasil: rata-rata penurunan kepadatan lalat setelah diberi perlakuan 45 kHz, 55 kHz, dan 65 kHz yaitu 23%, 36% dan 61%. Mengacu kepada PERMENKES No. 70 Tahun 2016 untuk standar baku mutu kepadatan lalat adalah ≤ 2 ekor. Terdapat perbedaan besar gelombang frekuensi ultrasonik terhadap penurunan kepadatan lalat. Saran: perlu penelitian lebih lanjut mengenai lama waktu pengukuran kepadatan lalat disesuaikan dengan aktivitas lalat minimal 3 jam dan menaikan besar gelombang frekuensi ultrasonik. Untuk industri dengan menambahkan lama waktu perlakuan agar hasil penurunan kepadatan lalat sesuai dengan acuan regulasi.
