The Hidden Nabokov
Authors: Meyer Priscilla
Published: September 2024

Abstract: Not simple autobiography or mere camouflage, the relationship of Nabokov's fiction to his life shows his conscious process of misdirection. We can identify some autobiographical material that Nabokov hid, and why. Jane Grayson concluded that "in his later production Nabokov's personal experience appears in a less recognizable form. There it is digested, sometimes even parodied." She finds increasing self-consciousness, irony and detachment, and "a developing preoccupation with pattern and artifice" in the later work. The Gift, Invitation to a Beheading, Speak, Memory and Pale Fire conceal some of Nabokov's off-stage concerns—physical distress, terror of possible imprisonment and death, grief at abandoning Russia forever, fear that if he were to lose his Russian literary tradition and his literary identity, it would be tantamount to death—as well as the distressing might-have-beens found in Pnin . Nabokov's 1945 poem, "An Evening of Russian Poetry," is emblematic of the way he conceals the pain of emigration in his novels: the poem's narrator is stylized, arch, comical, composed, but his agony slips through the surface of his presentation to American undergraduates in untranslated Russian, hidden from his anglophone audience.
Entre familiarité et étrangeté: L'Écriture du quotidien dans La Vie clandestine de Monica Sabolo
Authors: Balint Adina
Published: September 2024

Abstract: Le quotidien occupe une place primordiale dans La Vie clandestine (2022) de l'écrivaine française Monica Sabolo. Dans ce roman, la narratrice se lance dans une double enquête, entre familiarité et effets d'étrangeté, mêlant l'exploration d'un univers intime hanté par un traumatisme subi dans l'enfance à une recherche sur le groupe terroriste français d'extrême gauche des années 1980, Action directe. En s'appuyant sur la phénoménologie de Bruce Bégout, pour qui le quotidien "s'exhibe de manière impudique dans toutes les choses ordinaires, et, grâce à cette surprésence indistincte, parvient à masquer son être propre" (38), cet article explore la représentation du quotidien chez Sabolo à la croisée du familier et de ce qui est étranger, du discours autofictionnel et de la narration documentaire (Chevrier et Roussin, Zenetti). Cela permet d'avancer l'hypothèse que l'exploration littéraire de la vie ordinaire renouvelle la question du dialogue entre la littérature et d'autres disciplines des humanités, comme la sociologie, l'histoire et la philosophie.
Le Quotidien d'un voyageur d' easyJet avec Alexandre Friederich
Authors: Maïssa Laude Ngadi
Published: September 2024

Abstract: easyJet est composé de trente-deux chroniques qui comprennent les rencontres, les expériences et les réflexions quotidiennes d'Alexandre Friederich durant les quatorze vols consécutifs qu'il effectue à bord des avions de la compagnie éponyme. Nous faisons le choix d'analyser la "poétique du savoir" afin de montrer que l'écriture du quotidien est conçue comme une manifestation de la contre-culture. Cette dernière est lisible à travers la démarche situationniste de l'écrivain-voyageur dont la fréquentation de l'espace aérien révèle la prégnance de l'hyper-réalisme médiatique et virtuel appelant le dépassement de l'expérience terrestre de ses pairs. Ce faisant, nous montrons également que les contraintes narratives à l'œuvre dans ce récit documentaire sont en relation avec le changement radical des conditions de vol qui font apparaître un genre de passagers nouveaux et indifférenciés dans les villes-aéroports européennes contemporaines.
Alain Damasio: La Science-fiction pour déterritorialiser et désincarcérer le quotidien
Authors: Tisserand Anne-Sophie
Published: September 2024

Abstract: Le quotidien pour Alain Damasio, c'est le self-serf-vice , qu'il décrit dans ses œuvres de science-fiction par le biais d'objets technologiques qui créent des dépendances ou qui sont intrusifs, au sein d'une société de conforteresse , à la fois confortable et sécuritaire. Tout est fait pour remettre à leur place nos usages consuméristes et notre dépendance au technococon, pour favoriser le plus qu'humain plutôt que le transhumain, redonner de la puissance plutôt que du pouvoir et penser la connexion en tenant compte des liens, du commun et du partage. Pas de nostalgie ou de primitivisme: Alain Damasio encourage la réappropriation des outils de notre quotidien, après Ivan Illich et Peter Sloterdijk, dans une littérature qui anticipe demain, proposant des défis éthiques et politiques à la hauteur de la postmodernité, à même de contrer le technocapitalisme, de rendre notre futur désirable en se réappropriant, par l'imaginaire, notre élan vital.

The modular structure of functional connectomes in the human brain undergoes substantial reorganization during development. However, previous studies have implicitly assumed that each region participates in one single module, ignoring the potential spatial overlap between modules. How the overlapping functional modules develop and whether this development is related to gray and white matter features remain unknown. Using longitudinal multimodal structural, functional, and diffusion MRI data from 305 children (aged 6 to 14 years), we investigated the maturation of overlapping modules of functional networks and further revealed their structural associations. An edge-centric network model was used to identify the overlapping modules, and the nodal overlap in module affiliations was quantified using the entropy measure. We showed a regionally heterogeneous spatial topography of the overlapping extent of brain nodes in module affiliations in children, with higher entropy (i.e., more module involvement) in the ventral attention, somatomotor, and subcortical regions and lower entropy (i.e., less module involvement) in the visual and default-mode regions. The overlapping modules developed in a linear, spatially dissociable manner, with decreased entropy (i.e., decreased module involvement) in the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex, ventral prefrontal cortex, and putamen and increased entropy (i.e., increased module involvement) in the parietal lobules and lateral prefrontal cortex. The overlapping modular patterns captured individual brain maturity as characterized by chronological age and were predicted by integrating gray matter morphology and white matter microstructural properties. Our findings highlight the maturation of overlapping functional modules and their structural substrates, thereby advancing our understanding of the principles of connectome development.

Background

Orally transmitted acute Chagas disease (ACD) primarily affects low-visibility and low-income individuals in tropical and subtropical zones. Managing ACD remains challenging even after more than 100 years of its discovery. Its spread to non-endemic areas has made it a global health issue. The aim of this work is to demonstrate the difficulties encountered in handling a real-life situation.

Methodology and findings

This report examines an outbreak of 39 cases of ACD due to oral transmission by bacaba juice ingestion that occurred in Pedro do Rosário, Maranhão, Brazil. A clinical and epidemiological investigation, including an entomological search, was conducted. Diagnosis criteria included positive peripheral blood smear (PBS), seroconversion of IgG, and a two-fold increase in IgG titer (laboratory criteria); and clinical findings, epidemiological exposure, and at least one positive IgG test (clinical-epidemiological criteria). In-house conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed on 33 samples. All patients were treated with benznidazole. After 4.5 years, IgG levels were reassessed in 26 individuals. The mean age was 33.6 years, with no gender difference. The mean incubation period was 13.8 days, and the mean between symptom onset and treatment was 16.6 days. The most common symptoms were fever and lymphadenopathy (90%). Diagnostic success rates were 66.6% (laboratory criteria), 23% (clinical-epidemiological criteria), and 10.2% (high clinical suspicion despite negative tests). Test positivity rates were 69.7% (PBS), 91.4% (serology), and 100% (PCR). There were no deaths. Serological cure was achieved in 34.6% of cases, and IgG titers decreased in 15.3%.

Conclusions and significance

We encountered several barriers in managing ACD, including population vulnerability, reliance on outdated diagnostic techniques, lack of standardized molecular biology methods, and limited therapeutic options. This report underscores the importance of rapid surveillance and early treatment to prevent fatalities. We recommend the standardization of conventional PCR in diagnostic routines.
Planes, Trucks, and Ferris Wheels: Impacts of Market Developments on Industry Structure and Profitability
Authors: Orpello-McCoy Brayden
Published: September 2024

This project explores the impacts of four market developments in the air transportation, computer technology, theme park entertainment, and truck transportation industries on firm annualized returns and market structure. Analyzing such developments helps inform how to best react to current events of similar caliber as they begin to impact market structure and profitability. Previous literature studied such effects on intra-firm and inter-industry behavior but has so far lacked direct analysis of industry-wide impacts. Combining data from Compustat and NYU’s Stern School of Business, I employ regression discontinuity design to decompose the immediate and lagged impacts of critical events on annual stock close prices and annualized returns. The air transportation, computer technology, and theme park entertainment industries demonstrated an immediate decrease in annualized returns of 29.9, 57.5, and 3.8 percentage points respectively, while the truck transportation industry demonstrated a 17.6pp increase. Lagged effect analysis yielded consistent results with the initial regression and industry analysis, save the theme park transportation industry which saw a 5.06 percentage point increase in returns. All four industries experienced considerable increases in new entrants, bankruptcy, and mergers following critical events, with very few dominant players from the year of each critical event persisting until the present.

Divorce is often regarded as the best solution to end a marriage. Normative juridical, legislation and conventionalbooks, still legitimizes divorce case. But whether they are still relevant to be applied in this era especially inIndonesia? Divorce law in the conventional fiqh very relevant in the past, tends to position women as helplessparty over the conduct of an abusive husband. Currently the book has been deemed incompatible with the demandsof basic human rights as outlined in the Human Rights (Human Rights) and the CEDAW (Convention on theElimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women), which actually prevent women from dichotomyand discrimination. While Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage and Presidential Instruction No. 1 of 1991 on KHI isstill relevant, although should always be evaluated to produce laws that still exist in the coming era. This paperwill examine the relevance of both the comparative - heuristic approach, as well as using human rights as acriterion and CEDAW.[Perceraian sering dianggap sebagai solusi terbaik untuk mengakhiri suatu perkawinan. Secara yuridisnormatif, peraturan perundang-undangan dan kitab-kitab konvensional, tetap melegitimasikan perkaraperceraian.

The Effect of a Histone Deacetylase Inhibitor – Valproic Acid – on Nucleoli in Human Leukaemic Myeloblasts
Authors: Smetana Karel , Zápotocký M.
Published: September 2024

The present study was undertaken to provide more information on nucleolar changes induced by a histone deacetylase inhibitor such as valproic acid in leukaemic myeloblasts at the single-cell level. For this study, RNA in nucleoli was visualized by a simple but sensitive cytochemical procedure in unfixed cytospins of short-term bone marrow cultures from patients suffering from acute myeloid leukaemia. Valproic acid in leukaemic myeloblasts markedly reduced the nucleolar size and also produced significant transformation of “active” to “resting” and “inactive” nucleoli that reflected the alteration of the nucleolar transcription in sensitive myeloblasts. On this occasion it should be added that valproic acid significantly increased the incidence of altered myeloblasts that changed to apoptotic cells or apoptotic bodies and cell ghosts. In contrast to the above-mentioned decreased nucleolar size, the nucleolar RNA concentration, expressed by computerassisted RNA image densitometry in valproic acidtreated myeloblasts, was not significantly changed. The results of the present study clearly indicated that the nucleolar size and transformation of “active” to “sleeping” or “inactive” nucleoli are convenient markers of the sensitivity and alteration of leukaemic myeloblasts produced by a histone deacetylase inhibitor, valproic acid, at the single-cell level.

The apoprotein E gene ranks among the most discussed candidate genes for cardiovascular disease. We studied whether the association between apoprotein E gene polymorphism and manifestation of acute coronary syndrome is modulated by the presence/absence of traditional cardiovascular risk factors. The population under study were 1066 patients (men under 65 years) admitted between 2006-2009 to five coronary care units in Prague (GENetic DEtermination of Myocardial Infarction in Prague) and the control population (1066 age-matched men selected from the Czech population sample). The frequency of disadvantage genotype E4+was significantly higher (P < 0.01) in acute coronary syndrome patients (22.38 %) than in controls (16.76 %). When the acute coronary syndrome group was step by step limited to non-smokers, non-diabetics and normotensive individuals, the odds ratio displayed a gradual increase from 1.35 (for the entire group) through 1.48 (non-smokers), 1.53 (non-smokers+non-diabetics) to 1.71 (non-smokers+non-diabetics+normotensives). The effect of the apoprotein E gene on the individual risk of acute coronary syndrome is nonhomogenous within the patient groups. This association of apoprotein E gene with acute coronary syndrome is strongly modified by the presence/absence of traditional cardiovascular factors of atherosclerosis in a high-risk Czech population.
2024 Governance of artificial intelligence and data in Australasian higher education

Published: September 2024

This whitepaper is a follow-up of the Australasian Council of Open and Digital Education (ACODE) survey in 2023 on the governance of artificial intelligence (AI) and data in Australasian higher education (Selvaratnam & Venaruzzo, 2023). The results then showed the guidelines and policies in this space were still in the early days. Ethical implications were also emerging in tandem with initiatives and the adoption of generative AI in institutions. The latest survey conducted over July and August 2024 is 24 is picking up on the recommendations of the 2023 paper to inform recommendations for practice and further assure quality and equity in higher education. To this end, the JISC AI Maturity Model for Education is used to gauge the sector’s growth in the governance of AI and data both in policy and practice. The outcomes show that the sector is mainly at the experimenting and exploring stage of maturity in engaging with AI. The challenges were mainly in operationalising AI in a comprehensive manner across the enterprise, including increasing AI literacy across staff and students. More institutions are addressing the ethical implications of AI since the last survey; however, it appears that social and emotional wellbeing, and psychological safety still have to be carefully considered.
The Sanctions Principles-Based Regulation: A Blueprint for a New Approach for the EU Sanctions Policy (Part I)
Authors: Khort Iuliia
Published: September 2024

192
Despite the tremendous number of studies devoted to the effectiveness of economic sanctions, the unprecedented number of sanctions applied and the recent European Union (EU) reforms on sanctions, sanctions effectiveness should be still a matter of debate. More than a year after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, but G7-led sanctions have not materially hindered Russia’s war effort. This study intends to address this problem by focusing on how to make the use and application of EU sanctions against Russia more effective. In doing so, I argue that the main impediments to EU sanctions effectiveness are systemic in nature and inherent to the EU sanctions policy framework. The piecemeal changes of the EU sanctions regulatory framework undertaken so far have not solved these systemic flaws that undermine the effectiveness of EU sanctions. A fundamental revision of the entire system of the EU sanctions policy framework is needed. This study proposes implementing a comprehensive principles-based framework for EU sanctions policy, where harmonisation and the risk-based approach are its foundations, to make sanctions more effective. The proposed sanctions principles-based framework is broader in its scope than is currently the case; it covers a broader set of principles. The proposed frame includes all the stages of the sanctions process, is addressed to a broader number of actors and its foundations are developed. I recommend that this sanctions principles-based framework should be mandatory for use. This is the first part of a two-part article. Part I of the article discusses the need for the revision of the regulatory approach to the EU sanctions policy to increase the effectiveness of sanctions. It includes the analysis of the EU sanctions as a foreign policy instrument and a comprehensive overview of the EU regulatory framework on sanctions as well as the analysis of imposition of the EU sanctions against Russia. Part I also discusses policy proposals for the effectiveness of the EU sanctions, such as harmonisation of the EU sanction policy and the application of a sanctions risk-based approach.
The effect of nitrogen and phosphorus fertiliser application rate and strategy on herbage production and nitrogen response in spring
Authors: Walsh S. , Bonnard L. , Ruelle E. , O’Donovan M. , McKay Z.C. , Egan M.
Published: September 2024

Maximising herbage yield while reducing nitrogen (N) fertiliser input, particularly in spring, is essential to ensure environmental and economic sustainability on grassland farms. A plot experiment was conducted over 2 yr, comparing three different spring N application rates of 30 (30N), 60 (60N) and 90 (90N) kg N/ha using three different spring application strategies: 0:100 (S1), 50:50 (S2) or a 33:66 (S3) split across February and March, respectively. Half of the plots also received phosphorus (P) fertiliser with the first application of N at a rate of 13 kg P/ha. Nitrogen fertiliser application for the remainder of the year (April–September) was the same for all plots (23 kg N/ha/application). Both spring and cumulative herbage yields were significantly affected (P < 0.05) by N application rate; 90N had the greatest spring and cumulative herbage yield compared to 30N and 60N (10,925, 9,834 and 10,499 kg DM/ha, respectively); however, N response reduced as N application rate increased. Nitrogen application strategy had a significant effect (P < 0.05) on spring herbage yield, with S1 significantly lower than S2 and S3. Applying 13 kg P/ha in spring increased herbage yield at defoliations 2 (23 April) and 3 (15 May) (+133 and 56 kg DM/ha, respectively), relative to no application of P fertiliser, as well as increasing cumulative herbage yield (+241 kg DM/ha). The results of the current study indicate that N should be applied in early February and the strategic application of N and P during spring can increase spring and cumulative herbage yield.

The article analyses Justyna Kopińska’s collection of reportage and feature articles. The author focuses on the way the war in Ukraine was textualised during the first months of the conflict. She describes the logic of the world of war by referring to the poetics of agon and further analyses such elements as the structuring of the war-torn space, construction of characters, and values of the world in crisis. She also discusses the generic context of Kopinska’s prose and its relation to the poetics of the war reportage.

Published: September 2024

This article discusses different research approaches to the literariness of narrative role-playing game manuals. Considering the nature of the manual, this research is specifically concerned with game scripts, ranging from their evolution as a literary genre through their story structure. Some researchers argue that game scripts can be deemed a new literary genre, while others treat them as game manuals. According to another approach, the entire manual for the narrative role-playing game is a literary work. The author believes that regardless of certain literary elements, these manuals have a primarily utilitarian function. The literariness goes beyond the textbook and begins with the game session.
„Akt strzelisty głębokiego oddechu”. Mistyka Herberta pomiędzy poezją a milczeniem
Authors: Prokop Adam R.
Published: September 2024

The article begins with the theory of the signifying silence proposed by Polish philosopher Izydora Dąmbska (1904–1988), through interpretation of the defined silence regarding God by Henryk Elzenberg (1887–1967), to arrive at a close reading of selected works by his apprentice, Zbigniew Herbert (1924–1998): “Zobacz” [See] and “Homilia” [Homily]. These texts have been interpreted in the context of the previously, and perhaps deliberately, untouched issues relating to the Indefinite, and they have been further confronted with an understanding of Christian apophatic theology. This approach seems justified as its creator is considered to be Dionysius the Areopagite (from the late 5th to early 6th century), who was one of the greatest authorities on the subject of the Supreme for Elzenberg and a source of angelological inspiration for Herbert. The main aim of the paper is to show all these converging perspectives on the subject that escapes verbalisation.

Published: September 2024

Rabbit fish (Siganus vermiculatus) is one of the biological resources in the sea that is widely consumed by the people in Maluku. Rabbit fish are caught during low tide with nets or by using natural resources to poison the fish, such as tuba root (Derris elliptica), which contains rotenone to make fish easy to catch. This study aimed to determining the concentration of tuba root extract that was effective against damage to the liver tissue of rabbit fish. Rabbit fish and tuba root were collected from Oma Village, Haruku Island, Central Maluku District, Maluku Province.  In the study, a laboratory experiment was conducted in which the tuba root was treated with doses of 0.1 g, 0.3 g, 0.5 g and 1 g with an exposure time of 18 to 24 hours. Data were analyzed using two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Duncan's post-hoc test. As a result, the lowest level of liver damage in rabbit fish was observed at a dose of 0.1 g, with a total damage of 7 ± 0.00 and 8.5 ± 0.71. Conversely, the highest level of liver damage was observed at a dose of 1 g, with a total damage of 14 ± 0.00 and 15 ± 0.00. The results of the post hoc test showed a subset value of 0.1 g dose (7.75), 0.3 g dose (9.25), 0.5 g dose (12.00), and 1 g dose (14.50). This research indicates that administering tuba root to rabbit fish can result in damage to the liver's structure. The severity of this damage is contingent upon the dose administered, whereas exposure duration does not affect the level of damage to fish organs.
cPanel Server Hosting Security Against Malware and DDoS Attacks on the Open Journal System Platform
Authors: Anshari Nur Muh Nadzirin , Hijriani
Published: September 2024

Purpose: This research analyzes the security of cPanel in protecting Open Journal Systems (O.J.S.) from DDoS attacks and malware infections. Since contemporary threats to this environment are continuously evolving, this investigation seeks to offer empirical findings and applicable suggestions for platform managers of academic publishing platforms.
Methods: The method applies the scope of the literature study and tests system-specific security using cpanel features to test Imunify360, SSL Manager, IP Blocker, Site Quality Monitoring, Awstats, and Jetbackup. This is then followed by observing the server logs on cPanel, where any suspicious activities or signs of attacks can be identified. It contributes to the detection of attack patterns and weaknesses in a system.
Result: This indicates several default settings within cPanel were found to be vulnerable and could allow exploitation for DDoS purposes. Tools available in cPanel helped eliminate malware and strengthen defense against DDoS attacks. This is verified by the AWStats check, which means a quicker and more secure access time from the server.
Novelty: This study combines many security features and tools from cPanel to implement a complete manner of detecting and improving its security. This method will not only help find out what the weak points are but also provide actionable solutions that can be employed to secure your application. The research results offer a practical guide for system administrators to enhance cPanel security configurations. This includes applying amended security settings and using more tools to safely sweep O.J.S. from online threats.
El exilio centroamericano y su aporte a la Sociedad costarricense a partir de la Segunda mitad del siglo XX
Authors: Cuevas-Molina Rafael
Published: September 2024

Historically, Costa Rica, as well as Mexico, have been receptive poles of Latin American exile in the region. Exile has been an enriching phenomenon for the receiving countries while drying out the expelling country. The consequences of the departure of professionals, intellectuals, and artists, generally the most enlightened minds, are paid for decades.
 It is also necessary to know how to differentiate the characteristics of the different exiles, which generally arrive in waves for specific periods: there are massive ones that include expatriates who fall under other classifications, such as refugees, for example, or migrations, not always legal, that are incorporated into the labor force of the city and the countryside and permeate behaviors and customs of daily life in the city and the countryside. and customs of the daily life of the local working sectors. This essay is concerned with the contribution of Central American exiles, in general, to Costa Rica, specifically the cultural contribution, since, as I assert, Central Americans have been incorporated into Costa Rica in many different areas, and in some they are decisive as a labor force that sustains important productive and service tasks, which implies the possibility of economic approaches that, as I say, are beyond the scope of these reflections.
Proyectos para la abolición de la esclavitud en Brasil: las perspectivas de Joaquim Nabuco y Luís Gama
Authors: Dos Santos Sales Augusto , De Paiva Faria Luis Gustavo
Published: September 2024

Aiming to contribute to the study of Afro-Brazilian history and culture and, therefore, to stand against the coloniality of power and knowledge, this article aims to compare Joaquim Nabuco’s and Luís Gama’ abolition projects, carrying out a partial survey of their respective characteristics and assumptions. Thus, we verify differences and similarities between their proposals and their political and ideological positions to achieve them. It is argued that the abolition project assumed by Nabuco, understood here as a representative of the ruling elites of that historical context, is diametrically opposed to Luis Gama’s project, a formerly enslaved man who succeeded in becoming an anti-slavery poet and advocate. Both act as organic intellectuals of their classes of origin. The first argued that abolition should be conducted by white free men, but deliberate in Parliament; therefore, without the participation of the enslaved ones and with the ultimate objective of whitening Brazil. The second argued that the conquest of freedom should have effective participation of the enslaved, including the use of violence, such as the murder of the lords by the enslaved.

The studies were carried out with a Haake Viscotester IQ rheometer using CC25 geometry (oscillation mode at a frequency of 1 Hz) at different temperatures. The amplitude test determined the range of strain and stress amplitude values corresponding to the range of linear viscoelasticity. For a given value of the deformation amplitude from the range of linear viscoelasticity, the dependences of the complex viscosity modulus (|η*|), the elastic modulus (storage modulus, G' ), and the viscosity modulus (loss modulus, G'' ) on time were recorded at a temperature of 38, 30, and 20 ºС. The kinetics of the gel formation process was characterized, the maximum strength of the formed structure was estimated from the maximal elastic modulus, the time of its formation and the starting points of gelation were determined.

Исследованы продукты окислительной деструкции асфальтенов тяжелых палеозойских нефтей Ашальчинского и Нурлатского месторождений, различающихся возрастом вмещающих отложений. Показано, что при окислении асфальтенов обеих нефтей пероксидом водорода в присутствии уксусной кислоты идет высвобождение окклюдированных соединений. В их составе идентифицированы н-алканы, стераны, гопаны и метиловые эфиры н-алкановых кислот. Особенностью асфальтенов нурлатской нефти, залегающей в девонских отложениях, является наличие н-алкенов в составе захваченных соединений. Наличие окклюдированных соединений в структуре асфальтенов подтверждается результатами рентгенофазового анализа.

The products of oxidative destruction of asphaltenes of heavy Paleozoic oils from the Ashalcha and Nurlat oilfields differing in the age of host sediments have been studied. It is shown that oxidation of the asphaltenes of both oils by hydrogen peroxide in the presence of acetic acid results in the release of occluded compounds. The compounds identified in their composition include n -alkanes, steranes, hopanes and methyl esters of n -alkane acids. A peculiarity of the asphaltenes of Nurlat oil occurring in the Devonian sediments is the presence of n -alkenes in the composition of occluded compounds. The presence of occluded compounds in the structure of asphaltenes is confirmed by the results of X-ray diffraction.

Представлены результаты седиментологического анализа донных отложений Ивашкиной лагуны, расположенной на южном берегу Быковского полуострова в юго-восточной части моря Лаптевых. Для этого были использованы данные о гранулометрическом составе отложений, полученные по образцам из скважин, пройденных в пределах термокарстовой котловины, занятой Ивашкиной лагуной. Использование С-Md-диаграммы Р. Пассеги позволило уточнить генетическую интерпретацию отложений, проведенную первоначально по полевым данным. В пределах лагуны выделены голоценовые озерно-лагунные и таберальные образования, подстилающие их аллювиальные среднепоздненеоплейстоценовые отложения, определены их седиментологические гранулометрические характеристики. Для выделенных фаций отложений реконструирована последовательность их формирования в процессе превращения термокарстового озера в морскую лагуну.

THERMOKARST LAGOONS, LAPTEV SEA, LAKE SEDIMENTS, LAGOON SEDIMENTS, SEDIMENTOLOGICAL ANALYSIS, PASSEGA DIAGRAM

The results of sedimentological analysis of bottom sediments of the Ivashkina Lagoon on the southern coast of Bykovsky Peninsula (southeast of the Laptev Sea) are presented. Core samples from boreholes drilled in the Holocene thermokarst depression now occupied by the lagoon have been analyzed. The use of grain-size distribution data and Passega C-Md diagrams makes it possible to refine the genetic interpretation of the sediments obtained from field descriptions. The Holocene lacustrine-lagoon and taberal formations and the underlying Middle and Late Pleistocene alluvial sediments have been identified, and their grain-size characteristics have been determined. We have further reconstructed the sequence of their formation while a thermokarst depression had been transformed into a lagoon.

Представлены результаты оценки последствий гипотетического прорывного паводка из озера Дашт (Республика Таджикистан, бассейн р. Шахдара). Расчеты были выполнены с использованием комплекса математических моделей, а именно FLO-2D и FLOVI. Оценка расхода прорывного паводка и селевого потока проводилась в программе FLOVI. В этой программе также оценивалось приращение твердого материала в селевом потоке. Моделирование движения и аккумуляции селевого потока в долине выполнялось в гидродинамической модели FLO-2D. Результаты показали, что внедрение в модель FLO-2D данных, полученных в программе FLOVI с блоком уравнений транспортно-сдвиговой модели, дает более корректные характеристики селя, включая значения расхода, скорости, глубины и площади затопления.

The results of modeling the consequences of a hypothetical outburst flood from Lake Dasht (Tajikistan, the Shakhdara River basin) with the use of FLO-2D and FLOVI mathematical models are presented. The discharges of the outburst flood and debris flow and the increment of solid material in the debris flow have been obtained using the FLOVI program. The debris flow movement and accumulation in the valley have been simulated using the FLO-2D hydrodynamic model. The results indicate that the application of data obtained from the FLOVI program with transport-shift equation block in the FLO-2D model gives more correct characteristics of the debris flow, including the values of flow discharge, velocity, depth, and flooding area.

The "conquest" of historical space in the 21st century Russia: negative historical identity?
Authors: Švedas Aurimas
Published: September 2024

The radical social and political changes experienced by the societies of the post-Soviet space determine the transformations in their sociocultural mentality and create new forms of relation with the past. The construction of a new historical identity, which now proceeds in contemporary Russia, can be considered as a typical process for the post-Soviet country, the particularity of which is created by several factors: traumatic experience and the particularities of sociopolitical life in a country that suffers transformation.
The Russian State, which was built after the fall of the Soviet Union, had no clear ideology and value system for more than fifteen years. During this period, the elite of the state formed a utilitarian view towards various ideological systems, which could explain the development of reality through the concepts of political sciences and new models of historical narrative. In recent years all these components of sociopolitical identity have been used by the politicians of the Kremlin, the political scientists, and public relations' specialists as an instrument for the production of a peculiar formation – the "state patriotism."
The intellectual foundations of the "state patriotism" in the sphere of political science are such terms as "energetic superpower" and "sovereign democracy," which were used simultaneously in order to present Russia on the international stage and to provide the state regime – the vertical of power – with meaningfulness in the eyes of the inhabitants of the state. Eventually, it became obvious that such artificial and inadequate terms as "energetic superpower" and "sovereign democracy" cannot fully satisfy the needs of the ruling elite.
The failure of political science manipulations to build a new social identity in Russia was partly compensated by the rise of the importance of historical narrative. Historical narrative in contemporary Russian society plays a role not only of compensatory but also of a consolidating mechanism.
The historical narrative which is powerfully established and dominates in Russian society is selective, monological, and expansive; it allows one to call it "negative historical identity." Despite the peculiarities of this historical narrative on the Russian past, present, and future, its creators managed to ensure major public support for the narrative, which became a very important part of social mentality in contemporary Russia.

This study aims to investigate the impact of national quality programs in mammography and technological advances in digital mammography units on the radiation doses delivered to women in Brazil. Radiation dose assessments in mammography units were conducted through a mail-based dosimetric system. For each unit of facilities that applied to one of the two national quality programs, a postal dosimetric system is dispatched, comprising an optically stimulated luminescent dosimeter (OSL) attached to the surface of a 4.0 cm thick polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) phantom, simulating a compressed breast with 4.5 cm thickness. Testing instructions to expose the dosimetric phantom for assessing the mean glandular dose (MGD) are provided. Between 2012 and 2023, the programs evaluated the MGD in 1,687 mammography units of computed radiography (CR) and direct digital radiography (DR) technologies from 1,399 facilities located in all Brazilian regions. A total of 1,660 (70.5%) evaluations were carried out on CR technology mammography units and 696 (29.5%) on DR units, totaling 2,356 MGD evaluations. The overall average MGD was 1.60 ± 0.80 mGy, with 1.68 ± 0.83 mGy for CR technology and 1.42 ± 0.68 mGy for DR technology. A comparison of average MGD between the periods 2012 - 2018 and from 2019 onwards shows a dose reduction of 8.6% for CR systems and of 26.0% for DR systems (p = 0.000). As CR systems use analog mammography units, which did not undergo technological advances between the two periods, the reduction in doses observed is due to the actions of national quality certification programs and by using image plates for dual-sided reading or needle-based image plates. The reduction observed in DR systems is due to both national quality programs and technological advances in mammography units, especially the use of radiation beams generated by X-ray tubes with tungsten targets.
