Sign language agreement: A constraint-based perspective
Authors: Holler Anke , Steinbach Markus
Published: December 2021

The paper addresses verbal agreement in German sign language from a constraint-based perspective. Based on Meir's Agreement Morphology Principles it presents an HPSG analysis of plain, regular and backwards agreement verbs that models the interaction between phonological (manual) features and syntactico-semantic relationships within a verbal sign by well-defined lexical restrictions. We argue that a sign-based declarative analysis can provide an elegant approach to agreement in sign language since it allows to exploit cross-modular constraints within grammar, and hence permits a direct manipulation of all relevant phonological features of a verb depending on its syntactic and semantic properties.
Morphological marking of constituent questions: A case for nonlocal amalgamation
Authors: Zamaraeva Olga
Published: December 2021

This paper considers the role of nonlocal amalgamation in a system of analyses for typologically diverse languages. Nonlocal amalgamation (Bouma et al. 2001) was suggested in particular to get rid of extraction rules in Pollard and Sag's (1994) analysis of long-distance dependencies. However, in implemented projects like the English Resource Grammar (Flickinger, 2000, 2011) and the Grammar Matrix (Bender et al., 2002, 2010), the extraction rules have been maintained, while nonlocal amalgamation is used for the analysis of phenomena like the easy-adjectives. Zamaraeva and Emerson (2020) argue that, if extraction rules are kept, then supporting the English easy-adjectives may be an insufficient reason to maintain nonlocal amalgamation in a cross-linguistic system like the Grammar Matrix, as it complicates the analysis of multiple question word fronting with flexible word order (in languages such as Russian [rus]). However, I present here a case of morphological marking of questions (in languages like Makah [myh]) which further motivates nonlocal amalgamation, as the analysis is remarkably more simple with it than it is without it. An analysis of morphological marking of questions needs to be part of a cross-linguistic system such as the Grammar Matrix as well as an analysis of multiple fronting, which adds a new tension at the level of the Matrix "core" and provides concrete material for discussion of issues ranging from empirical implementation of theoretical ideas like nonlocal amalgamation to the big question of how much of typological space a single system of grammar is expected to cover.
Neg-phrases in Eton (Bantu): An HPSG-analysis
Authors: Form Julian
Published: December 2021

This paper presents a study of so-called neg-phrases in Eton, a negative concord language spoken in Cameroon. These phrases strongly resemble negated noun phrases that consist of a negative determiner and a noun, however, I will show that Eton neg-phrases are built differently. Reconciling the non-negative approach to negative indefinites by Penka & Zeijlstra (2005) and the negative approach by Richter & Sailer (2004a,b, 2006), I will argue that Eton neg-phrases consist of an inherently negative modifier and a non-negative indefinite derived from a noun. Embedding the analysis in Lexical Resource Semantics, I will reveal the inherent negativity of Eton neg-phrases and account for their composition by using a lexical rule based on the semantic approach to noun phrases by Beavers (2003).
The gradual erosion of NPI-hood with need verbs in Germanic
Authors: Maché Jakob
Published: December 2021

This talk addresses the puzzle why there are different ˋneed' verbs in Germanic languages, which all are lexically polysemous and which all display some extent of negative polar behaviour. Whereas all the uses of Dutch ˋhoeven' are negative polar, Modern Swedish ˋbehöva' is mostly distributionally unrestricted and only in its epistemic uses negative polar. Data suggest that this is a result of a gradual erosion of NPI-hood. The diverging behaviour of ˋneed'-verbs in Germanic languages can be most accurately managed assuming that lexical polysemy involves type hierarchy in which the different uses inherit from an abstract entry that defines semantics all these uses share. Moreover, it is concluded that if there is an NPI feature it is mandatorily inherited to all to its descendants. In languages such as Dutch this feature has scope over all uses, in languages such as Modern Swedish. it only bears scope over the epistemic uses.
Copy raising as a lexical rule
Authors: Kay Paul
Published: December 2021

The paper argues that there is compelling evidence for analyzing copy raising in English as a lexical rule that converts a subtype of perception verb with a stimulus subject (so-called “flip-perception” verbs) into a semantically bleached verb of mild evidentiary force, roughly equivalent to seem in some uses, which identifies the index of its external argument with the index of the pronominally expressed external argument of its complement.
Verbal reduplication in Mandarin Chinese: An HPSG account
Authors: Lu Yanru , Müller Stefan
Published: December 2021

The current study presents an HPSG analysis for verbal reduplication in Mandarin Chinese. After discussing its interaction with Aktionsarten and aspect markers, we argue that it is a morphological rather than syntactic process. We put forward a lexical rule for verbal reduplication in Mandarin Chinese and the different forms of reduplication are captured in an inheritance hierarchy. The interaction between verbal reduplication and aspect marking is handled by multiple inheritance. This analysis covers all forms of verbal reduplication in Mandarin Chinese and has none of the shortcomings of the previous analyses.
Polyadic quantification in hybrid coordination
Authors: Przepiórkowski Adam
Published: December 2021

The aim of this paper is to provide a syntactico-semantic analysis of hybrid coordination, in which what is coordinated are phrases bearing different grammatical functions and different semantic roles. The proposed account improves on previous HPSG analyses by giving up the assumption that all conjuncts are dependents of the same head and, more importantly, by taking into account the syntax–semantics interface and providing semantic representations. This aspect of the analysis builds on and generalizes previous HPSG work on polyadic quantification.
Preplant Fertilization Increases Substrate Microbial Respiration But Does Not Affect Southern Highbush Blueberry Establishment in a Coconut Coir-based Substrate
Authors: Heller Cecilia Rubert , Nunez Gerardo H.
Published: December 2021

Coconut coir is widely used as a substrate component for southern highbush blueberry [(SHB) Vaccinium corymbosum L. interspecific hybrids] cultivation in containers. Coconut coir-based substrates can exhibit high potassium (K), sodium (Na), and chlorine (Cl) concentrations. Sodium in the substrate is particularly problematic because it can cause salinity stress and nutritional imbalances in young blueberry plants. Thus, Na removal is important to ensure transplant success. We hypothesized that preplant fertilization with large volumes of nutrient solution can reduce substrate salinity, replace Na with nutritional cations, and enhance blueberry establishment. We tested this hypothesis in a greenhouse experiment with ‘Snowchaser’ SHB grown in rhizoboxes filled with a 7:3 mix of coconut coir and perlite. Four different treatments were delivered every 24 hours starting 72 hours before transplant. Treatments included 1.75 g⋅L–1 calcium nitrate (CN), 2.38 g⋅L–1 monoammonium phosphate (MAP), deionized water, and well water. One rooted cutting was transplanted to each rhizobox. Rhizoboxes were fertigated during the 7-week cultivation period. We found that preplant fertilization increased nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and calcium (Ca) concentrations in the substrate without replacing Na. Thus, preplant fertilization increased substrate salinity. Preplant fertilization also promoted microbial respiration in the substrate at the start of the experiment. Treatments did not affect SHB root architecture, leaf area index, leaf greenness, or biomass accumulation, likely because nutrients delivered by the fertigation solution provided the plants with homogeneous optimal conditions. These findings suggest that preplant fertilization with large volumes of nutrient solution does not enhance blueberry establishment in coconut coir-based substrates.
Expanding the speciation of terrestrial molybdenum: Discovery of polekhovskyite, MoNiP2, and insights into the sources of Mo-phosphides in the Dead Sea Transform area
Authors: Britvin Sergey N. , Murashko Mikhail N. , Vereshchagin Oleg S. , Vapnik Yevgeny , Shilovskikh Vladimir V. , Vlasenko Natalia S. , Permyakov Vitalii V.
Published: December 2021

Polekhovskyite, MoNiP2, is the first terrestrial Mo phosphide, a phosphorus-rich homolog of meteoritic monipite, MoNiP. The mineral represents a novel phosphide type of terrestrial Mo speciation. It was discovered among phosphide assemblages in pyrometamorphic rocks of the Hatrurim Formation (the Mottled Zone) in Israel, the area confined to the Dead Sea Transform fault system. Polekhovskyite occurs in the altered diopside microbreccia, as micrometer-sized euhedral crystals intimately intergrown with murashkoite, FeP and transjordanite, Ni2P, in association with Si-rich fluorapatite, hematite, and magnetite. In reflected light, the mineral has a bluish-gray color with no observable bireflectance and anisotropy. Chemical composition (electron microprobe, wt%): Mo 44.10, Ni 22.73, Fe 4.60, P 29.02, total 100.45, which corresponds to the empirical formula Mo0.99(Ni0.83Fe0.18)1.01P2.01 and leads to the calculated density of 6.626 g/cm. Polekhovskyite is hexagonal, space group P63/mmc, a = 3.330(1), c = 11.227(4) Å, V = 107.82(8) Å3, and Z = 2. The crystal structure has been solved and refined to R1 = 0.0431 based on 50 unique observed reflections. The occurrence of Mo-bearing phosphides at the Dead Sea Transform area is a regional-scale phenomenon, with the localities tracked across both Israel and Jordan sides of the Dead Sea. The possible sources of Mo required for the formation of Mo-bearing phosphides are herein reviewed; they are likely related to the processes of formation of the Dead Sea Transform fault system. The problem of anthropogenic contamination of geological samples with Mo and Ni is also discussed in the paper in the context of the general aspects of discrimination between natural and technogenic ultra-reduced phases.

Структурно-содержательные характеристики социальных представлений студентов о психологической помощи
Authors: Нестерова Альбина А. , Есипов Михаил А.
Published: December 2021

Введение. Актуальность исследования обусловлена потребностью населения в разрешении проблем и одновременно наличием предубеждений и низкой информированностью о возможностях психологической помощи. Основу исследования составила концепция социальных представлений С. Московичи; с применением структурного подхода впервые определены структурно-содержательные характеристики представлений о психологической помощи у студентов. Методы. Выборку исследования составили 498 студентов московских вузов (17–25 лет) и 50 респондентов зрелого возраста (33–55 лет). Для анализа отношения к психологической помощи использовалась авторская анкета; уровень готовности к получению помощи психолога определялся посредством опросника Attitudes Toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help Scale (E. H. Fischer, A. Farina), адаптированного для российской выборки. Для систематизации данных применены контент-анализ, прототипический анализ Вержеса, методы математической статистики. Результаты. Ядро представлений о психологической помощи составляют такие ассоциации, как «помощь», «поддержка», «разговор», «спасение»; в периферию входят «понимание», «совет», «психолог», «лечение/терапия» (первая периферическая зона), а также «выход», «обман», «решение проблем», «облегчение» (вторая периферическая зона). Контент-анализ позволил объединить всё содержимое ядра и периферии в четыре блока: «облегчение состояния», «проблемы», «поддержка», «взаимодействие». Обсуждение результатов. Уровень готовности к обращению за психологической помощью у девушек значительно выше, чем у юношей, при этом доверие к помощи у женщин в целом выше, независимо от возраста. Студенты меньше, чем люди более зрелого возраста, ориентированы на поиск поддержки у специалиста. Наиболее значимыми критериями в выборе психолога являются применяемые им методы, стаж и возраст. Заключение. Позитивные представления студентов о психологической помощи проявляются, прежде всего, как возможность получения поддержки и облегчения эмоционального состояния. Повышение уровня доверия населения к специалистам-психологам будет способствовать поддержанию психологического благополучия и полноценной интеграции молодежи в систему оказания психологической помощи.
Role of Mechanoinsensitive Nociceptors in Painful Diabetic Peripheral
Neuropathy
Authors: Nemenov Mikhail I. , Singleton J. Robinson , Premkumar Louis S.
Published: December 2021

:

The cutaneous mechanisms that trigger spontaneous neuropathic pain in diabetic peripheral
neuropathy (PDPN) are far from clear. Two types of nociceptors are found within the epidermal
and dermal skin layers. Small-diameter lightly myelinated Aδ and unmyelinated C cutaneous
mechano and heat-sensitive (AMH and CMH) and C mechanoinsensitive (CMi) nociceptors
transmit pain from the periphery to central nervous system. AMH and CMH fibers are mainly located
in the epidermis, and CMi fibers are distributed in the dermis. In DPN, dying back intra-epidermal
AMH and CMH fibers leads to reduced pain sensitivity, and the patients exhibit significantly
increased pain thresholds to acute pain when tested using traditional methods. The role of CMi
fibers in painful neuropathies has not been fully explored. Microneurography has been the only
tool to access CMi fibers and differentiate AMH, CMH, and CMi fiber types. Due to the complexity,
its use is impractical in clinical settings. In contrast, a newly developed diode laser fiber selective
stimulation (DLss) technique allows to safely and selectively stimulate Aδ and C fibers in the
superficial and deep skin layers. DLss data demonstrate that patients with painful DPN have increased
Aδ fiber pain thresholds, while C-fiber thresholds are intact because, in these patients, CMi
fibers are abnormally spontaneously active. It is also possible to determine the involvement of CMi
fibers by measuring the area of DLss-induced neurogenic axon reflex flare. The differences in
AMH, CMH, and CMi fibers identify patients with painful and painless neuropathy. In this review,
we will discuss the role of CMi fibers in PDPN.
Идентификация оптико-магнитных резонансов, порождаемых в разряде неона когерентными переходами пространственно разнесенных изотопически разных атомов
Authors: Сапрыкин Э.Г.
Published: December 2021

Идентифицированы инфракрасные (ИК) переходы в спектре неона в области 0.76-15.8 μm, порождающие резонансы, обусловленные квадратурной синхронизацией полей пространственно разнесенных изотопически разных атомов. Использование численных методов анализа малоконтрастных ИК резонансов позволило оценить изотопические сдвиги уровней их родительских переходов, ранее неизвестные. Обнаружено изменение знака амплитуды квадратурных оптико-магнитных резонансов при изменении знака изотопического сдвига порождающих их переходов, и зарегистрирована зависимость времени жизни таких когерентных пар атомов от длины волны переходов, демонстрирующая необычный выход на плато при уменьшении длины волны. Предположено, что это обусловлено удлинением времени отклика возбужденных атомов окружения изотопических пар на интерференцию их полей. Ключевые слова: неон, ИК переходы, интерференция полей, когерентные пары атомов.

Authors: Плаченов А.Б. , Дьякова Г.Н.
Published: December 2021

A new class of localized solutions of paraxial parabolic equation is introduced. Each solution is a product of some Gaussian-type localized axisymmetric function (different from the fundamental mode) and an amplitude factor. The latter can be expressed via an arbitrary solution of the Helmholtz equation on an auxiliary two-sheet complex surface. The class under consideration contains well known and novel solutions, including those describing optical vortices of various orders.
Спектральный отклик микрорезонатора с двумя квантовыми точками, обусловленный взаимодействием между локализованными электронами
Authors: Цуканов А.В.
Published: December 2021

A theoretical model of a semiconductor nanostructure consisting of a single-mode microresonator containing two quantum dots is considered. It is shown that the Coulomb interaction between electrons localized in the quantum dots modifies a spectral response of the system to an external laser field. The possibility of its use for detecting an elementary charge in the third (optically inactive) quantum dot is discussed. The influence of both diagonal (Stark effect) and non-diagonal (Förster effect) Coulomb matrix elements of the Hamiltonian on the detection accuracy is studied. The dependences of a measuring contrast on the parameters of the resonator and the quantum dots are calculated. The existence of such structural configurations for which the contrast retains an optimal value even at large distances to the measured dot is established.

UNSTRUCTURED

A 59-year-old female patient undergoing deep inferior epigastric perforator flap surgery for autologous breast reconstruction became acutely ill with tachypnea, nausea, and vomiting on post-operative day three. A work-up elucidated a diagnosis of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) with lower-than-expected glucose levels as a result of recent semaglutide use. She required intensive care unit resuscitation with an insulin drip and glucose administration. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are a class of oral anti-hyperglycemic agents used for the treatment of type II diabetes (DMII). As the use of these medications become more prevalent, surgeons must be educated of this serious complication and plan for patient management in advance of minor and major surgeries.
Lógicas del paisaje y territorio en Cusi Cusi (Jujuy, Argentina)
Authors: Vaquer José María
Published: December 2021

In this paper I propose a dialogue between the concepts of landscape logics and territory, in order to interpret the history of the ways of life in terms of different shapes adopted by territoriality in time and space in a wide temporal range. I also suggest a model of landscapes in Cusi Cusi (Rinconada, Jujuy) using those concepts. My consideration is that to understand lanscapes as territories allow us to interpret problems from the past, the presente and even project them into the future. To achieve this goal, I apply the concepts in a model of different ways of life across time, the relationships between them and the questions that can be raised through considering territoriality as a key concept.

El estrés en las primeras edades de la vida, así como la forma de afrontar las situaciones adversas pueden tener repercusiones a futuro en la salud mental. El sexo y la edad son variables que juegan un rol importante en ambas variables, sin embargo, han sido poco estudiadas en la población preescolar, analizar dichas variables contribuye en el desarrollo de intervenciones preventivas. Objetivo: Analizar las diferencias en el nivel de estrés y tipos de afrontamiento según el sexo y la edad; para esto, se realizó un estudio transversal. Método. Se trabajó con una muestra no probabilística de 115 preescolares mexicanos entre 4 y 5 años (M = 4.6; DE= 0.49), a quienes se les aplicó la Escala de Estrés Cotidiano y la Escala de Afrontamiento. Los resultados mostraron que el estrés afecta de la misma forma a niños y niñas de 4 y 5 años; los niños emplean más el Afrontamiento Disfuncional y los más pequeños (4 años) emplean más el Afrontamiento Emocional, Disfuncional y Evitativo. Estos datos se discuten en términos del desarrollo del afrontamiento en niños mexicanos y sus implicaciones para la instrumentación de intervenciones preventivas encaminadas a promover la salud mental.

El uso de casos simulados se ha convertido en una importante estrategia de evaluación de habilidades de profesionales de la salud en el contexto de entrenamiento en psicología clínica e investigación, facilitando la práctica y retroalimentación oportuna en un ambiente controlado, reduciendo potenciales problemas éticos. El propósito del estudio fue desarrollar y estandarizar un caso simulado como estrategia de evaluación conductual de competencias en profesionales de la salud en adicciones que implementan intervenciones breves. Se entrenaron seis confederados en la aplicación del caso simulado a través de un guion estandarizado representativo de un caso típico de consumo de alcohol, instrucción verbal, modelamiento, ensayos conductuales y retroalimentación durante 32 ensayos. Posteriormente, los confederados implementaron el caso simulado con ocho profesionales de la salud en formación en cuatro momentos de evaluación y la ejecución conductual de los participantes fue evaluada mediante una lista de cotejo. Los resultados mostraron que los confederados alcanzaron un nivel de estandarización del caso simulado de 83.3%, acuerdos intra-observador entre el 83% y el 100% y acuerdos inter-observador entre 76% y 100%. El caso simulado resultó sensible para identificar el incremento de habilidades en profesionales de la salud en cuatro momentos de su formación en las áreas de análisis funcional (21%) y planeación de conducta alternativa (29.6%). Se discute la utilidad de la estrategia de caso simulado como una herramienta válida de entrenamiento y evaluación de competencias profesionales.
Effect of Increase in the Price of Petroleum and Increase in the Sales of Electric Scooter
Authors: Venkateshwar Dr. Abhishek
Published: December 2021

Abstract: Our paper is among the first to measure the potential effect of increase in the price of petroleum vs increase in the sales of electric scooter. With the prices of petrol inching closer to Rs 100 per liter, the demand for battery operated scooters is on the rise as people want to save on fuel cost. As a result, the sale of e-scooters has increased considerably in the city. buyers of two-wheelers are also evincing interest in purchasing e-scooters and making enquiries about vehicles in the local showrooms Okinawa, a large scooter manufacturer in India, recently reported a 30% sales jump in the last quarter alone. The company attributes this largely to the rise in gasoline prices. Without being tied to a pump, electric motorcycle riders are insulated from fluctuating gasoline prices, and can instead “fill up” on much less expensive electricity from any wall outlet.

On the History of Critical Perception of the Story “For Future Use” by Platonov: About a Possible Reason for the “Big Bang”
Authors: Antonova Elena V.
Published: December 2021

The article uses new materials to clarify the history of publication and the initial stage of criticism of Andrey Platonov’s story “For Future Use.” In particular, it attempts to bring as much clarity as possible as far as the date of the story’s publication in the magazine Krasnaia Nov’ is concerned and also to clarify the date of Stalin’s acquaintance of with this story. It is argued that Stalin’s attention was drawn to this publication due to its mentioning by critic G.V. Adamovich, in a note published in the emigrant newspaper Poslednie Novosti. Based on the evidence of S.I. Kanatchikov and V.A. Sutyrin, the author clarifies the nature of the “Politburo meeting,” at which the editor of Krasnaia nov’ A.A. Fadeev, was assigned the task of launching a critical campaign against For Future Use. The newspaper Poslednie novosti for some time monitored the situation with the novel and reacted to critical publications on this topic in central newspapers such as Pravda and Izvestia. The article is supplemented with documentary materials: excerpts from the diary of the writer I.V. Evdokimov and relevant notes from the newspaper Poslednie novosti.
Village Council in Paris: “French” Episode in the Story “For Future Use” by Platonov
Authors: Umryukhina Natalia V.
Published: December 2021

The article focuses on one of the episodes of Andrey Platonov’s story “For Future Use.” The episode dealing with Efim Nechaev’s trip to Paris is a response to international issues as discussed in the Communist Party official speeches and newspaper publications and has recognizable literature parallels with the so-called “foreign texts” by other writers (V.V. Mayakovsky, A.M. Gorky). This scene was written in early 1930 and was only kept in the first edition of the story. The aggravation of Soviet-French relationships and an all-Union recyclable materials collection campaign are both reflected in the passage involving a kolkhoz (collective farm) activist who is ready to start collectivization and dispossession of kulaks in Paris and trying to solve the economic problems of the USSR by a new original type of export which he invented. Explanatory notes reveal the grotesqueness of Platonov’s plot combining the political idea of exporting the socialist revolution to the West and the economic task of waste export.
Inspectors and Auditors: Some Sources of Andrey Platonov’s Work of the 1920s
Authors: Osipenko Maria V.
Published: December 2021

The article examines the work of Andrey Platonov of the 1920s in the context of the history of the Soviet state and Communist Party administration departments. Allusions to the activity of these authorities are present in many of Platonov’s works (“Gorod Gradov,” “Administrativnoe Estestvoznanie,” “Usomnivshiysya Makar,” “Nadlezhachie Meropriyatiya (Socialnaya Satira nashih dney),” etc.). Most of the references relate to anti-bureaucratic and rationalization activities of these power and control authorities. The effort to perfect bureaucratic machine is represented in Platonov’s work as pseudoproductive, pseudo-scientific, and meaningless activity. Yet, it is also shown how such pseudo-organization can become real life-threatening force.
What You Can Get Used to and What You Cannot: Towards the Question of Platonov’s Traditionalism
Authors: Nonaka Susumu
Published: December 2021

The article examines the use of a Russian verb “privyknut’ (get used to)” in the fiction of Andrey Platonov. The use of this verb in his works is full of special connotations typical for his prose that reveal his understanding of the “temporal” being of a human life. This perspective is opposed to the “plan-based thinking” of utopianism which played an important role in Platonov’s earlier period and in socialism generally. However, as he grew older, with many tragedies including his son’s early death and the World War II, he started to realize that “getting used to” is one of the main moments in the life of human existence, whatever it concerns — grief and death or happiness and love. It is possible to call this change of Platonov’s thought a “traditionalist deepening” should we consider that traditionalism or conservatism entails the importance of customs and habits that were developed in the society over time and not by the power of ideas and theories. In general, we can conclude that it is the antinomy between the “plan-based thinking” and the “getting used to,” ideals and ordinary life that characterizes Platonov’s fiction.
The History of a Ritual Text Published by Ivan Sakharov
Authors: Toporkov Andrey L.
Published: December 2021

Among the publications prepared by Ivan Petrovich Sakharov (1807–1863), there are a number of texts that represent literary stylizations and hoaxes based on folklore. The article deals with one of these pseudo-folklore texts — a Christmas carol (kolyadka) that describes goat sacrifice. This carol was first published by I.P. Sakharov in 1837, reprinted by I.M. Snegirev in 1838, and then reproduced by many researchers of Slavic mythology. This paper argues that this carol is a combination of two texts: the first of them is the carol first published in 1817 by I.E. Sreznevsky in Ukrainsky Vestnik; the second one is the song being part of the fairy tale about brother Ivanushka and sister Alyonushka (SUS 450). This contamination is unique and occurs only in one text, albeit many times reprinted later. The article argues that this carol may belong to the pen of two anonymous folklore carriers, I.E. Sreznevsky and I.P. Sakharov. Sakharov’s stylization technique is characterized by the contamination of works belonging to various folklore genres. As a result, we encounter texts that are obscure within authentic tradition. Despite the fact that the Sakharov carol is an authored work, generations of historians and mythologists read it as a description of the ritual that was performed in ancient times by pagan Slavs.
History of the Studies in Russian Memoir Literature of the 17th–18th Centuries: The Problem of Classification
Authors: Poliakov Ivan A. , Smirnova Maria A.
Published: December 2021

The article focuses on the historiography of Russian memoir literature of the 17th– 18th centuries. The authors turned to general studies in humanities (literary, historical, cultural, and philosophical) which discuss theoretical problems of classification and internal systematization of the varieties of memoir literature. The evolution of the terminological apparatus used within memoir studies is shown separately. A special aspect, reflected in the article, concerns attention of the researchers to the manuscript culture and the existence of monuments of memoir literature within this culture. Considering the history of the question chronologically, the authors of the article identify several periods, describe major research schools within the framework of traditional research, and discuss the studies in the field of the “new” methodological paradigm. Addressing the problem of classification in historiography demonstrates the need for further study of key problems in the memoir studies. In conclusion, the authors identify perspective direction towards creating adequate principles of classification, defining genre delimitations and criteria for selecting memoir monuments that exist in the manuscript tradition.
Re-discovering Evolution: A National Literature between Tautology and Renewal
Authors: Sultanov Kazbek K.
Published: December 2021

This article attempts to analyze the evolution of literary thinking as a key concept in the systematic study of a national literature. Methodological requirements to describe literary dynamics as completely as possible prompt a rediscovery of the evolutionary principle, which can be characterized both as an open system of meaning-making and a dialectic of the constant and the changeable contingent on the temporal factor. The focus of this paper is on transitional states, borderline phenomena, semantic recoding, the release of new possibilities of a national literature, and explosive points of literary development when artistic discovery is perceived as a breakthrough challenging inertial normativity. The article reconstructs concepts of A. Bergson, G. Gukovsky, and especially Yu. Tynyanov who developed the notion of “literature as a system” in its natural relation to literary evolution.
On the History of the Academic Series “Literary Heritage” (for the 90th Anniversary)
Authors: Moskovskaya Daria S.
Published: December 2021

The article examines the history of the publication of the academic series Literary Heritage based on new archival materials. The publication was initiated in 1931, when archival and publishing activities were affected by political trials. The author of the draft used political rhetoric to get permission to publish it from the Central Committee of the CPSU(b). In 1932, following the decree “On the Restructuring of Literary and Artistic Organizations,” Literary Heritage became an exemplary academic publication and received international recognition. Literary Heritage developed a new method as it placed the author in the position of a student at the editorial board. In Soviet times, the Literary Heritage existed under the conditions of censorship and ideological control but still managed to publish a volume on Russian symbolism in 1937. The years 1947–1959 were difficult for Literary Heritage when the editorial office was accused of cosmopolitanism. In its publishing policy, Literary Heritage was ahead of time and above the reader’s dogmatism which led to the sequestration of several volumes. The history of Literary Heritage contributed to creating an intellectual and ideological platform that nurtured a new generation of literary historians.
Sorrows and Joys of Dicaepolis: Aristophanes’ Acharnians 1–16
Authors: Makarov Igor A. , Nikolsky Boris M.
Published: December 2021

First sixteen verses of Aristophanes’ Acharnians pose many questions to their commentator. Scholars had various conjectures concerning events that had provoked strong emotions of Dicaeopolis, about his ways of describing the emotions as well as about the comic effects of the passage. The article deals with the most controversial of these questions. It is argued that the prologue reproduces tragic structure and parodies tragic language. E.g., in v. 1, a particular syntactic construction is used that transforms Dicaeopolis’ tragic exclamation into a comic one. The events mentioned by Dicaeopolis belong to the sphere of the theatre. E. g., the first story is about Cleon vomiting out five talents (vv. 5–8) is explained as an allusion to the comedy produced not long before the Acharnians. Combining linguistic and historical analysis in other cases as well makes it possible to throw some light on the facts alluded to in the play as well as on Dicaeopolis’s reactions to them.
Quando Hayden White encontra Sebald: Austerlitz entre o fardo da história e o passado prático | When Hayden White meets Sebald: Austerlitz between the burden of history and the practical past
Authors: Videira Neto Edmo
Published: December 2021

O objetivo deste ensaio é promover um encontro entre as ideias sobre a história de Hayden White e os caminhos históricos e traumáticos traçados por Sebald em Austerlitz. Neste sentido, partimos do pressuposto de que o personagem homônimo ao título do livro do escritor alemão funciona como um pêndulo entre o fardo da história e o passado prático, não coincidentemente, dois dos principais textos do historiador norte-americano. Para que possamos chegar minimamente a esse objetivo, abordaremos Austerlitz enquanto uma saga em busca de uma estética da representação do passado e de uma ética do conhecimento histórico, colocando como pano de fundo central em nosso texto os debates teóricos e metodológicos oferecidos pela obra de White.Palavras-chave: Hayden White. Sebald. Austerlitz. Fardo da história. Passado Prático AbstractThe purpose of this essay is to promote a meeting between the ideas about Hayden White's history and the historical and traumatic paths traced by Sebald in Austerlitz. In this sense, we assume that the homonymous character to the title of the German writer's book works as a pendulum between the burden of history and the practical past, not coincidentally, two of the main texts of the American historian. So that we can minimally reach this goal, we will approach Austerlitz as a saga in search of an aesthetics of the representation of the past and an ethics of historical knowledge, placing as a central backdrop in our text the theoretical and methodological debates offered by White's work.Keywords: Hayden White.

SOLUTIONS AND STABILITY ANALYSIS OF BACKWARD-EULER METHOD FOR SIMPLIFIED MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMICS WITH NONLINEAR TIME RELAXATION
Authors: YÜKSEL Gamze , YAMAN Mustafa Hicret
Published: December 2021

In this study, the solutions of Simplified Magnetohyrodynamics (SMHD) equations by finite element method are examined with nonlinear time relaxation term. The differential filter κ(|u-u ̅ |(u-u ̅ )) term is added to SMHD equations. Also SMHD Nonlinear Time Relaxation Model (SMHDNTRM) is introduced. The model is discretized by Backward-Euler (BE) method to obtain the finite element solutions. Moreover, the stability of the method is proved. The method is found unconditionally stable. The effectiveness of the method is exemplified by several cases with comparing different methods. FreeFem++ is used for all computations.
The potential distribution of Chiranthodendron pentadactylon (Malvaceae) through time: Phylogeography revisited and predicted environmental suitability under alternative future climate change scenarios.
Authors: Langford Diana Hernandez , Moreno Jaime Escoto , Ramírez Joaquín Sosa
Published: December 2021

Aim: Mexican hand tree Chiranthodendron pentadactylon is an evergreen
temperate tree species restricted to cloud forests and pine-oak forests
of southern Mexico, Guatemala and possibly Honduras. Climate is believed
to significantly contribute to the species establishment, viability and
distribution. Insights into the impact of climate change on the species
potential distribution throughout time were approached by ecological
niche modeling tools. Location: Southern Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras.
Methods: Past (Last Interglacial 120-140 KA, Last Glacial Maximum 22 KA,
Mid-Holocene 6 KA), historical (1910-2009) and future (2021-2040,
2041-2060, 2061-2080 and 2081-2100) potential distributions and
corresponding environmental suitability were modelled using the Maximum
Entropy algorithm. Current (historical) models were based on the most up
to date historical environmental variables and constituted the baseline
for past and future projections. Past predictions are revisited in a
phylogeographic context. Future predictions were made for four different
emissions scenarios. Results: Increase in potential distribution range
comes about during cold and humid periods but higher suitability
possibly relates to humid conditions. Potential distribution alongside
environmental suitability diminishes during warm and dry periods. Future
climate change implies warmer periods whence environmental suitability
declines following a linear trend. Main conclusions: Future warmer
conditions are predicted to linearly reduce environmental suitability
throughout time. Biotic and anthropogenic factors further threaten the
species distribution. Demographic trends and genetic diversity estimated
through a recent phylogeographic study, complement the statement that
populations viability is increasingly being threatened by current and
future climate change, underscoring the need for the implementation of
conservation actions.
Amygdalar CB2 cannabinoid receptor mediates fear extinction deficits promoted by orexin-A/hypocretin-1

Background and purpose: Anxiety is often characterized by an inability
to extinguish learned fear responses. Orexins/hypocretins are involved
in the modulation of aversive memories, and dysregulation of this system
may contribute to the aetiology of anxiety disorders characterized by
pathological fear. The mechanisms by which orexins regulate fear remain
unknown. Experimental approach: We investigated the role of the
endogenous cannabinoid system in the impaired fear extinction induced by
orexin-A (OXA) in male mice. Behavioural pharmacology, neurochemical,
molecular and genetic approaches were used. Key results: The selective
inhibitor of 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) biosynthesis O7460 abolished
the fear extinction deficits induced by OXA. Accordingly, increased 2-AG
levels were observed in the amygdala and hippocampus of mice treated
with OXA that do not extinguish fear, suggesting that high levels of
this endocannabinoid are related to poor extinction. Impairment of fear
extinction induced by OXA was associated with increased expression of
CB2 cannabinoid receptor (CB2R) in microglial cells of the basolateral
amygdala. Consistently, the intra-amygdala infusion of the CB2R
antagonist AM630 completely blocked the impaired extinction promoted by
OXA. Microglial and CB2R expression depletion in the amygdala with
PLX5622 chow also prevented these extinction deficits. Conclusions and
implications: We reveal that overactivation of the orexin system leads
to impaired fear extinction through 2-AG and amygdalar CB2R. This novel
mechanism may pave the way towards novel potential approaches to treat
diseases associated with inappropriate retention of fear, such as
post-traumatic stress disorder, panic anxiety and phobias.
What Does Our Discipline Mean? Uncertainties of Students in Perception of Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology/Case Study of Kosova
Authors: Halimi Zanita
Published: December 2021

When in 2001 the Department of Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology at University of Prishtina was opened for the first time, there was a lack of knowledge about this field of study. Students that enrolled in the Department came up with different reasons and motivations. Since then, the Department made changes and transformations to both the curriculum and the pedagogical approaches used. These changes opened the department to collaborative teaching methods. Over time, narrowly defined, traditional concepts of ethnology and anthropology were expanded into diverse methods, theories and approaches. This article considers the ways in which the department developed and how anthropology was perceived by the students. What were the dilemmas and uncertainties that accompanied students in their choice? How much did parents, relatives and their friends support them? If they would have another opportunity, would they make the same choice again? These are the questions that will be discussed in this paper, besides my personal experience and reflection, firstly as a student in this department and later as teaching assistant.
Reflections on East and West: anthropology, decolonization, and teaching
Authors: Chaudhuri-Brill Shukti
Published: December 2021

I examine here the role of anthropology in decolonizing narratives of personal identity, taking my own story as an example. I reflect on different aspects of decolonization between east and west: that of racialized identities in different national contexts; of disciplinary contrasts between European and American anthropology; and between that of eastern and western Europe. Drawing on Ingold’s notion of commoning, I discuss decolonizing practices through teaching anthropologically, using narrative as a method.
