Priorities of studying education in the light of the problem of bureaupatologies
Authors: Osipov Alexander
Published: June 2023

The author proves the need to put forward the problem of bureaupathology as a priority for Russian research in education and educational policy. Based on the analysis of foreign and domestic sources, the article summarises the assessments of bureaupathologies in the field of education as phenomena that acquired an institutional form in the post-Soviet period (fixed in the legal, technological, cultural, value and organisational structures of Russian education). The author identified the prerequisites for bureaupathology in the era of neoliberal transformations that also engulfed the Russian education sector: the deterioration of the socio-economic situation and massive labour overloads for the majority of personnel who are not protected from overtime work; unrestrained by legal and socio-political mechanisms the concentration of powers of top management and the increase in its explicit and latent privileges, that reduces the effectiveness of management and generates bureaucratic abuses; the growth of the social interest of "universal management" in rooting its omnipotence and the spread of active paper pressure as a system management technology; the trend of tightening bureaucratic control against the backdrop of the education crisis - rising costs, declining quality, social accessibility and public return, loss of human resources. The article names the tools of bureaucracy used to achieve and assert its dominant position in education as a multi-level industry with millions of employees and colossal intellectual and creative resources: concentration of administrative powers; imitation of their activity and usefulness; reliance on the formal legal base and the departure of scientific management; avoidance of responsibility and depersonalisation of management due to the priority of regulations over real management efficiency; administrative pressure on lower levels, leading most of the staff into a state of paper genocide. The sociology of education plays a key role in studying bureaupathologies and their conditioning, the social instruments used by bureaucrats, proving their dysfunctionality, ways to prevent them in politics and leading education out of the crisis caused by bureaucracy. The sociology of education will be able to fulfil its role if the problem of bureaupathology is recognised as a priority, if it is introduced into the problem field of new education research, if a practice-oriented concept of bureaupathology is developed, and if the prerequisites that give rise to it are systematically eliminated.
The phenomenon of network-centrism in conditions of modern cognitive opposition: on the example of the analysis of the Kherson case
Authors: Yarmak Olga , Bakulin Alexander , Bakulin Dmitry
Published: June 2023

The presented article discusses a new social phenomenon of network-centrism and its manifestations in the conditions of modern cognitive confrontation on the example of the analysis of the Kherson information space. This research topic is currently of particular relevance due to the introduction of new tools of network warfare in the physical, informational, cognitive and social spheres of life of individuals through the functioning of information impact centкes in post-conflict societies.

Network-centrism in terms of cognitive confrontation is understood as a completely new social and civilisational phenomenon. Network-centric operations are understood by the authors as a kind of postmodern analogue of colonisation and subjugation, carried out in new conditions, in new formats and using new communication technologies. The main feature of the strategy of network wars using network-centric mechanisms is to achieve a damaging effect in all spheres of society, including its civilisational foundations. At the same time, not the power mechanisms of influence are used, but a wide range of factors - from civilisational and informational to social and cognitive ones.

The analysis of network-centric operations is carried out through the prism of the classical concepts of network societies, the theory of "controlled chaos", as well as taking into account applied domestic ones - the doctrine of he USSR Marshal N.V. Ogarkov and foreign developments - the concept of network-centric wars by Vice Admiral of the US Navy A. Cebrowski, Pentagon researcher J. Garstka and Admiral J. Johnson.

The idea of the study was to analyse the network structures of the content units of the information field of the Kherson region, that form military, crisis and post-crisis discourses.

The results obtained by the authors indicate the presence of two information impact centres that use network-centric mechanisms of work in the cognitive field. In addition, the analysis of the work of network information centres showed that today the social media segment, primarily the Telegram segment, is a space for active network-centric influence on the mass consciousness of a conflict society, that creates an experimental platform for testing new tools of cognitive confrontation and forms an Internet audience, that is exposed to direct information impact and manifestations of network centrism in society.
Research of mutual perception of the Republic of Korea and Russia in the period 2016-2021
Authors: Choi Wooik
Published: June 2023

The study of the mutual perception of Korea and Russia can be considered an important form of cultural exchange for understanding the perception of the people and culture of another country. In addition, this project explores obstacles to the development of bilateral relations and possible points of contact for cooperation, that helps to determine the direction for strengthening the strategic partnership. This article is based on the results of the 2021 study, with particular attention to the differences in perceptions of the peoples of both countries and its changes since 2016.

Koreans still associate Russia with images of the past - the Soviet Union, a communist country, and communism. Russians associate South Korea with modern concepts such as the development of industry and technology and Korean culture. Both peoples express a desire to visit another country, while the interest in culture is slightly higher among Russians.

There are no significant changes in the perception of Koreans in bilateral relations. The proportion of Korean respondents expressing a positive attitude towards political cooperation has slightly decreased, positive sentiments can also be observed in relation to cooperation in the economic sphere. There are also no significant changes in Russians' perception of relations between the two countries. The proportion of those who positively assess the prospects for current bilateral relations has slightly decreased, just like the Koreans, the Russians have a positive attitude towards economic cooperation.

As the analysis of the survey results showed, cooperation between South Korea and the United States as allies and confrontation between Russia and the United States is the main obstacle to the development of relations between Russia and Korea. Foreign policy problems remain a decisive factor in the development of cooperation. Thus, in public opinion, a practical and effective way to develop bilateral relations can be an exchange in the field of economy, medicine, tourism and culture at the level of the private sector and local authorities, rather than political and diplomatic cooperation at the state level.

Published: June 2023

Background. Abdominal aortic aneurysm – is a widespread disease, which in some cases does not have any specific clinical symptoms, but possible complications of this pathology are characterized by high mortality. Aortic aneurism rupture is an extremely serious condition that requires emergency surgical treatment. A timely diagnosis of abdominal aortic aneurysm’s rupture risk remains extremely important, since the patient mortality rate is up to 7 times higher when performing an emergency surgery, than when performing a planned surgery. Aim of study: to improve the diagnosis of abdominal aortic aneurysms instability by creating an assessing scale of aortic rupture risk according to computed tomography data. Materials and methods. CT studies were performed by a 160-slice CT scanner and included the native and arterial phases of the scanning. The MSCT data of 179 patients with diagnosed abdominal aortic aneurysm were retrospectively studied, in 46 of whom the condition was complicated by an aortic rupture. CT scans can reveal a number of specific structural changes in the aorta and also surrounding tissues, which can be regarded as aortic wall rupture prediction. That specific structural changes were stratified by severity and the preliminary results were compared with the treatment tactics and the outcome of the disease. Results. The MSCT data of 179 patients with diagnosed abdominal aortic aneurysm shows that the minimum and sufficient set of abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture predictions are: aneurysm size, a sickle sign, aortic wall draping sign, paraaortic fat induration, the thickness of parietal thrombotic masses. The obtained parameters give the possibility to predict the risks of AAA rupture. The prognostic scale is represented by a 4-point scale for assessing aneurysm parameters. Depending on the influence degree of each parameter, it is assigned a number of points corresponding to the level of prognostic significance. The maximum number of risk factors is 17 points. Finding. The assessing scale of the abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture’s risk according to computed tomography data was developed.

Authors: Vorob'ev A. M. , Ruzov V. I. , Salmin A. S. , Mel'nikova M. A.
Published: June 2023

Purpose of the study. To reveal the relationship between the serum concentration of vascular endothelial growth factor and the structural and functional state of the myocardium in patients in the post-infarction period at the stage of rehabilitation.

Materials and methods. We examined 94 patients at the outpatient stage of rehabilitation after ad hoc stenting 6 weeks after myocardial infarction, 10 healthy volunteers without somatic pathology. All participants in the study underwent standard transthoracic echocardiography with assessment of thickness of epicardial fat, assessment of the concentration of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in peripheral blood by ELISA.

Results and discussion. VEGF values above the median values were associated with lower left ventricular ejection fraction and left ventricular fraction shortening, which indirectly may indicate a more pronounced expression of VEGF in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction. Assessing the parameters of LV diastolic dysfunction in groups with different levels of VEGF, no significant differences were found in patients after myocardial infarction. Correlation relationships between the content of VEGF and the thickness of epicardial adipose tissue were not found either among patients or in the control group.

Conclusions. Elevated VEGF values in patients with coronary artery disease at the 6th week of rehabilitation were accompanied by left ventricle systolic dysfunction, in contrast to diastolic dysfunction. There was no direct correlation between the thickness of epicardial fat and the concentration of VEGF in the blood serum in patients with coronary artery disease.

Features of the landscape and geographical conditions of the Samara region, the rich world of flora and fauna create favorable conditions for the existence of natural foci of infectious and parasitic diseases. The high population density, the presence of megacities (Samara, Togliatti), the passion of the inhabitants of the region for country recreation, together with developed agriculture, determine a high risk of infection of people with pathogens of natural focal infections.

Objectives: to analyze the manifestations of the epidemic and epizootic processes of natural focal infections in the Samara region for its zoning according to the degree of danger of infection of the population with actual zoonoses.

Methods. We used information on the incidence of the population (form No. 2 "Information on infectious and parasitic diseases") for the period from 2019 to 2021, data from an immunological examination of residents of municipalities using enzyme immunoassay, results of examination of environmental objects in natural foci (indication of genomes and antigens of viruses and bacteria) in vertebrates and their pellets (litter), arthropods using polymerase chain reaction and enzyme immunoassay. Cluster analysis was performed using the Statgraphics plus for Windows application program for a personal computer.

Results. Territories with high, moderate and low risk of infection of the population of the Samara region with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, viral tick-borne encephalitis, tularemia, leptospirosis, Q fever and West Nile fever were identified. It is shown that the most relevant zoonosis is hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome.

Discussion. Compiled cartographic mapping of the administrative formations of the Samara region with different risks of infection and disease of people with natural focal infections is relevant for planning preventive measures.

Changes in the Design Shape of Two-Block Asymmetrical Cuts According to the Head Shape Division, Angle, and Slice Line
Authors: Guk Hye Ran
Published: June 2023

Purpose: In this study, the weight line is the right (diagonal) line and the shape line is the asymmetrical cut of the left (diagonal) line rendered in the form of two blocks. In addition, it is meaningful to provide basic data on haircuts by demonstrating the design and length changes according to head area division, angle, and slice line.Methods: It is divided into upper and lower parts starting from golden back medium point, back point, and back nape medium point. 10 cm at the upper point, diagonal (V) line on the left, diagonal (A) line on the right, celestial axis of 0°, and a head angle of 20°, and 40° were used.Results: LGBM1 and LB1 were observed as two-block asymmetrical cuts, expressing rhythm, mystery, liveliness, dynamic, and freshness. However, LBNM1 was observed only asymmetrically. Since the asymmetrical cut is different from left to right, a heterogeneous phenomenon appeared. Regular asymmetry is thought to provide dynamism, liveliness, rhythm, and freshness expressed as harmonious beauty of order and balance. In addition, since the slice line is started from the side, it is considered that the slope is less than that starting from the back. One length symbolizes smoothness, orderliness, and heaviness, and the gradation has both a smooth texture and rough texture.Conclusion: Asymmetrical cuts can provide freshness, mystery, dynamism, liveliness, and rhythm through imbalance. In other words, the asymmetrical cut can be balanced and harmonized with creative effects. In future studies, it is expected that studies on the mixed form of gradation and uniform layer cut, volume cut, and design form of the front of the head and the temporal area of the head will be conducted.

Published: June 2023

Purpose: This study aimed to extract phyto DNA from the adventitious root of Aloe vera and confirm its role in improving and regenerating skin and antiaging properties caused by blue light.Methods: Phyto DNA was extracted and a complex containing polylysine and Poly (amidoamine) was made. The antioxidant activity was confirmed using the DPPH method. The MTT test was performed on fibroblasts. The expression of SOD1, FLG, LOR, COL1A1, and MMP1 was measured using RT–PCR after blue light irradiation on HaCaT cells. The wound-healing test was performed. A phyto DNA complex cream formulation was created. Using this method, skin epidermal water loss was determined after human application.Results: At 0.85% of the cation polymer–phyto DNA complex concentration, 100% of fibroblasts survived. At 0.1% concentration, the antioxidant effect was 93%. After being exposed to blue light, only 40.4% of fibroblasts survived, but after being treated with a 100 μg/mL complex, 80.5% survived. At a mineral–cation-phyto DNA complex ratio of 10:1, the expression of skin barrier factors was highest. About 95.7% of HaCaT cells regenerated at 10:1 ratio of the mineral with phyto DNA complex in comparison to complex with only the minerals without phyto DNA.Conclusion: Phyto DNA from aloe vera’s adventitious root has no cytotoxicity, has excellent DPPH free radical scavenging ability, and can mitigate blue light cytotoxicity. It can improve skin barrier function by increasing the expression of barrier factors via a synergistic action in a specific ratio composition of phyto DNA, cationic polymer, and mineral complexes.

Development of a spectrophotometric method for assessment of the relative reactivity of monocarbonyl analogs of curcumin with 2-(dimethylamino)ethanethiol
Authors: Lozanovski Zlatko , Petreska Stanoeva Jasmina , Bogdanov Jane
Published: June 2023

In order to improve the bioavailability of curcumin, studies have been undertaken to prepare the so-called monocarbonyl analogs of curcumin (MACs) and assess their biological activity. These analogs contain an electrophilic α,β-unsaturated carbonyl moiety (Michael acceptor). Several key biological processes are connected/controlled with thiol alkylation (glutathione, cysteine, cysteine peptide residues). The most likely reaction is the Michael addition between the α,β-unsaturated acceptor and a corresponding thiol. 2,6-Bisarylidenecyclohexanone and 3,5-bisarylidenepiperidin-4-one scaffolds offer convenient tunability of electrophilicity and redox properties of the Michael acceptor by the introduction of various substituents. In this study, several MACs were prepared by Claisen-Schmidt condensation reaction, and their reactivity with 2-(dimethylamino)ethanethiol was evaluated. For this purpose, based on the UV-Vis spectra of the analogs and thiol(s), a proper method for spectrophotometric evaluation of their reactivity with 2-(dimethylamino)ethanethiol was optimized. The relative reactivity of the analogs was 7 > 2 > 5 > 4 > 1 ≈ 6. The developed method is simple, and it can be extended to assess the reactivity of other MACs.

Aim: The mental illness (MEI) impact upon risk-adjusted first-time aortic valve replacement (AVR) or repeat AVR (r-AVR) outcomes is unknown. Comparing patients with and without new-onset postoperative atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter (POAF/AFL), this retrospective cohort investigation evaluated if MEI impacted patients’ risk-adjusted AVR/r-AVR outcomes. Methods: Using de-identified New York Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System (administrative) database reports, multivariable logistic regression models compared post-procedural POAF/AFL, 30-day readmission, and composite (i.e., 30-day operative mortality or morbidity) endpoints between MEI and non-MEI patients. Results: From 2005-2018, there were 36,947 first-time AVR patients and 242 r-AVR patients; of these, 13.18% AVR (n = 4,868) and 16.94% r-AVR (n = 41) patients had preprocedural MEI diagnoses. Compared to non-MEI patients, MEI patients had increased rates of transcatheter vs. surgical procedures and higher pre-procedural risks including alcoholism, illegal drug use, tobacco product use, suicidal ideation, or other comorbidities (e.g., valvular disease, atherosclerotic disease, hypertension obesity, and anemia); they were younger, female, and non-Black/non-Hispanic, and had non-commercial (e.g., government or self-pay) insurance. Contrasted to non-MEI patients, MEI patients had no different risk-adjusted new onset of POAF (AVR P = 0.575; r-AVR P = 0.497), 30-day readmission (AVR P = 0.163; r-AVR P = 0.486), and mortality/morbidity composite (AVR P = 0.848; r-AVR P = 0.295) rates. Conclusions: Despite MEI patients’ inherent higher pre-procedural AVR/r-AVR risk, no differences in the MEI vs. non-MEI risk-adjusted POAF/AFL, 30-day readmission, or composite rates were found; however, MEI patients more frequently were selected to receive transcatheter rather than open surgical procedures.

As a chemically inert wide bandgap semiconductor material with high hardness and thermal conductivity, stable electrical characteristics, silicon carbide SiC is attractive for harsh environment electronics and sensors applications. The concept of harsh environment  includes extremes of temperature, pressure, shock loads, radiation and chemical attacks those arise in aircraft and automotive engines, industrial gas turbines, during oil and gas exploration, etc.

Lower growing temperatures of polycrystalline cubic silicon carbide, pc-3C-SiC, compared to monocrystalline allow to significantly reduce its cost and expand the possibilities of application. It follows from previous works that the thermal sensitivity of pc -3C-SiC can be significantly increased by doping with an acceptor impurity of boron during the growth of the material. The purpose of this work is to determine the properties of pc-3C-SiC doped with boron for the creation of photosensors and thermosensors, as well as thermal anemometers for extreme operating conditions.

It is shown that pс-3C-SiC doping with a boron impurity in the growth process causes the formation of acceptor-type centers in the band gap and the appearance of features in the photosensitivity spectrum, which may be of practical interest for photovoltaics. For temperatures T > 150K, the conductivity of the doped sample increases almost exponentially with an activation energy of 0.28 eV, which is close to the activation energy of the photoconductivity of the same sample. This indicates that the ionization process of equilibrium and non-equilibrium charge carriers occurs from the same impurity centers. Boron doping causes the appearance of a broad photoconductivity band with a maximum at 1.7 eV in the impurity absorption region of pc-3C-SiC, similar to the situation in single crystal 3C-SiC.

It was determined that the temperature coefficient of resistance for boron-doped pc-3C-SiC is 3.0´10-2 K-1 at T=300K and 1.1´10-2 K-1 at T=700K, which is almost an order of magnitude higher than for thermocouples, as well as for metals from which anemometer threads are made. The discussion of the obtained results allows to associate the value of the activation energy E=0.28 eV with the level of shallow boron in pc-3C-SiC and to assume this center is a point defect containing a boron atom that replaces a silicon atom in the 3C-SiC lattice, i.e. BSi.

Photosensors that can be used as solar cells in the near-IR range of 0.6 - 1.8 μm, and as photocells in the visible range of 0.4 - 0.6 μm are proposed. The ability of pc-3C-SiC to work in extreme operating conditions, as well as the low cost of device manufacturing technology based on it, compared to other SiC polytypes, allow it to be considered a suitable material for creating temperature sensors, thermo-anemometers and photosensors, as well as detectors for monitoring nuclear facilities.

Optoelectronic display devices have gained an important role in the modern world. Digital displays based on organic light-emitting diodes are taking one of the leading places among other displays due to high contrast and high-quality color gamut. The relative novelty of the technology is the reason for the insufficient number of researched materials for use in layers of organic light-emitting diodes. This paper analyzes the properties of molecular structures based on thiophene heterocycles, as well as the feasibility of their use for displays on exclusively organic light-emitting diodes and in complex technologies, such quantum dots color converter.

Three thiophene structures of type T (thiophene), TB (thiophene-benzene), TPy (thiophene-pyrrole) were chosen for the study. Modeling and computing of characteristics of molecular structures was performed with the software for quantum chemical calculations Gaussian 09 due to the wide range of quantum chemical methods implemented in it, as well as high efficiency and convenient user interface.

With the help of the selected software, modeling of molecules, optimization by B3LYP methods, and the values of HOMO and LUMO energy levels were calculated. Emission and absorption spectra of T, TB and TPy type structures were obtained. Based on the obtained results, the possible application of structures in the emitting layers of organic LEDs was determined. T-type molecules can be used as a material for creating a self-emitting layer for organic light-emitting diodes in the visible wavelength range. Molecules of the TB-type are suitable for creating devices with radiation in the ultraviolet range. Molecules of the TPy-type have no prospects for use in direct OLED radiation, but their characteristics allow us to propose these structures as sources of exciting radiation for the creation of devices with light color conversion technologies.

Volcanic emissions (ash, gas, aerosols) dispersed in the atmosphere during explosive eruptions generate hazards affecting aviation, human health, air quality and the environment. We document for the first time the contamination of airspace by very fine volcanic ash due to sequences of tran-sient ash plumes from Mount Etna. The atmospheric dispersal of sub-10 μm (PM10) ash is mod-elled using the WRF-Chem model coupled online with meteorology and aerosols and offline with Mass Eruption Rates (MER) derived from near-vent Doppler radar measurements and inferred plume altitudes. We analyse two sequences of paroxysms with widely varied volcanological conditions and contrasted meteorological synoptic patterns in October–December 2013 and on 3-5 December 2015. We analyse the PM10 ash dispersal simulation maps in terms of time-averaged columnar ash density, concentration at specified flight levels averaged over the entire sequence interval, and daily average concentration during selected paroxysm days at these flight levels. The very fine ash from such eruption sequences is shown to easily contaminate the airspace around the volcano within a radius of about 1000 km in a matter of a few days. Synoptic patterns with relatively weak tropospheric currents lead to the accumulation of PM10 ash at a re-gional scale all around Etna. In this context, closely interspersed paroxysms tend to accumulate very fine ash more diffusively in the lower troposphere and in stretched ash clouds higher up in the troposphere. Low-pressure, high-winds weather systems tend to stretch ash clouds into ~100 km-wide clouds forming large-scale vortices 800-1600 km in diameter. Daily average PM10 ash concentrations commonly exceed the aviation hazard threshold up to 1000 km downwind from the volcano and up to the upper troposphere for intense paroxysms. Vertical distributions show ash cloud thicknesses in the range 0.7–3 km, and PM10 sometimes stagnating at ground level, represent a potential health hazard.

We investigate the Friedmann–Lemaitre–Robertson–Walker cosmological models within the framework of Rastall gravity incorporating particle creation. The modified field equations for Rastall gravity are derived and exact solutions are obtained under various choices of scale factors. The qualitative behaviour of our solutions depends on the Rastall coupling parameter ψ=kλ. Following the literature, we have restricted the Rastall coupling parameter ψ(k=1) to the range −0.0001 < ψ < 0.0007 at 68% CL from CMB+BAO data. Further, we have discussed the distinct physical behaviour of the derived models in detail.
Effective Recognition of Lithium Salt in (Choline Chloride : Glycerol) Deep Eutectic Solvent by Reichardt’s Betaine Dye 33

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have emerged as novel alternatives to common solvents and VOCs. Their employment as electrolytes in battery has been an area of intense research. In this context, understanding changes in physicochemical properties of DESs in the presence of Li salts becomes of utmost importance. Solvatochromic probes have potential to gauze such changes. It is reported herein that one such uv-vis molecular absorbance probe, Reichardt’s betaine dye 33, effectively manifests changes taking place in a DES Glyceline, composed of H-bond accepting salt choline chloride and H-bond donor glycerol in 1 : 2 molar ratio, as salt LiCl is added. Lowest energy intramolecular charge-transfer absorbance band of this dye exhibits 17 nm hypsochromic shift as up to 3.0 molal LiCl is added to Glyceline. The estimated ETN parameter shows linear increase with LiCl mole fraction. Spectroscopic responses of betaine dye 33, N,N-diethyl-4-nitroaniline and 4-nitroaniline are used to assess empirical Kamlet-Taft parameters of dipolarity/polarizability (π*), H-bond donating acidity (α) and H-bond accepting basicity (β) as a function of LiCl concentration in Glyceline. LiCl addition to Glyceline results in increase in α and no change in π*and β. It is proposed that added lithium interacts with oxygen of the –OH functionalities on the glycerol rendering the solvent with increased H-bond donating acidity. It is observed that pyrene, a popular fluorescence probe of solvent polarity, does respond to the addition of LiCl to Glyceline, however, the change in pyrene response starts to become noticeable only at higher LiCl concentration (mLiCl ≥ 1.5 m). Reichardt’s betaine dye is found to be highly sensitive and versatile in gauzing physicochemical properties of DESs in the presence of LiCl.

: Microbial fuel cell (MFCs) devices utilise the metabolic processes of bacteria to generate electricity from various organic substrates. Due to the enormous amount of energy that organic waste produces, scientists are highly interested in advanced MFCs. MFCs serve as a multidisciplinary research platform at the engineering and natural sciences intersection. MFCs have various uses besides being used as energy sources, such as sensing capabilities. Despite showing considerable promise, only a few marine sediment MFCs have been deployed in real-world applications to supply current for low-power devices. It is now required to maintain track of the work being done by research groups worldwide and regularly compile significant discoveries due to the rising quantity of research publications. Review papers are a traditional beginning point for a literature review for new scholars. This review is a fast reckoner that directs readers to pertinent reviews and research publications detailing significant advances in microbial fuel cell research during the previous two decades.
