Sanskrit Manuscripts of the Serindia Collection (IOM RAS) as Sources on the History of Buddhism in Khotan
Authors:   The Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia, Mesheznikov Artiom
Published: April 2024

This paper provides the information about the study of the Sanskrit manuscript fragments kept in the Serindia Collection of the IOM RAS. Among the Buddhist handwritten rarities discovered in the 19th—20th centuries in so-called Serindia Sanskrit manuscripts are of particular importance. Sanskrit originals of Buddhist texts preserved in Central Asian manuscripts represent what little remained of the vast Sanskrit written heritage of ancient and early medieval Buddhism. Sanskrit manuscripts are highly valuable historical sources for studying the history of spread of Buddhism throughout Central Asia and the process of reception of the Indo-Buddhist culture outside India in the first millennium AD. The article focuses on the study of Sanskrit manuscripts, which circulated in Khotan. Among the manuscripts, which constitute the Sanskrit part of the Serindia Collection, written monuments related to Khotan are represented most extensively both in terms of quantity of fragments and volume of preserved texts. A comprehensive study of this part of the Serindia Collection made it possible to classify Sanskrit manuscripts in relation to external characteristics and repertoire, to outline chronologically traceable stages of spread of Buddhism in Khotan and to work out the periodization of the history of Buddhism in this Central Asian subregion.

Authors:   Qatar University, College of Sharia and Islamic Studies, El Khatib Abdallah
Published: April 2024

The article presents an analysis of the ayat count in MSS Marcel 5 and other related MSS. Additionally, it provides a brief history of the Marcel collection in the National Library of Russia, which includes valuable Qur’anic parchments dating back to an early period in Islamic history. The manuscript has undergone 14C dating and its palaeographical and codicological features confirm the early date. The article reaffirms its direct relationship with several manuscripts, including MSS Paris, BnF Arabe 335, Leiden Or. 14.545 a, Doha, Museum of Islamic Art, MS 276, and others in libraries across the USA, such as the Oriental Institute in Chicago. There is evidence that the manuscript travelled from al Fustat in Egypt to Paris before finally settling in St. Petersburg, Russia, Leiden, Doha, the UK, and the USA. An analysis was conducted to determine the origin of the ayat count, but its exact origin proved difficult to ascertain for several reasons.
Missionary Work in Late Qing China and the John Fryer Papers: Some Considerations from an Almost Secular Perspective
Authors:   Italian Institute of Oriental Studies — ISO, La Sapienza University of Rome, Tola Gabriele
Published: April 2024

The John Fryer Papers, bequeathed by the English translator John Fryer (1839—1928) to the Bancroft Library, University of California, Berkeley, are a notable yet underestimated archive for information, from a variety of perspectives, on the Xixue Dongjian and in a broader sense, the circumstances of late Qing China. This article focuses on one of the aspects that, for personal and historical reasons related to Fryer, has been neglected more in relation to the man himself: his contribution to the description of the missionary history and cultural interactions between the West and China. Fryer indeed supplies his acute insider perspective on the relevant situation in late Qing China within different folders of the Papers. In this article, the descriptions, analyses, and suggestions for the missionary work put forward by Fryer are presented and examined. John Fryer did indeed set off for China to become a missionary, but he soon abandoned this purpose; nevertheless, his ties with the missionary milieu of the Jiangnan area remained solid throughout his time in China. The purpose of the article is to provide new information and a fresh perspective on the history of missions and Xixue Dongjian in late Qing China, also casting a brighter light on John Fryer's role.

Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Katkova Irina , Wan Jamaluddin ,   UIN Raden Intan Lampung
Published: April 2024

The article examines the role of Sufism, its awliya’, and transnational tariqas (Islamic mystical brotherhoods) in the history of Islam and Islamic thought. It does so by focusing on the Naqshbandiyya tariqa, which is the most widely disseminated across various regions of the world, including Sumatra, Indonesia, Turkey, and Uzbekistan. The Naqshbandiyya tariqa, which originated in Central Asia during the 8th / 14th century, is amongst the oldest brotherhoods. Moreover, the article sheds light on a lesser known aspect of Sufi leadership tradition, specifically the role of the shaykh as a mediating agent in the Naqshbandiyya of Sumatra. The Islamic society can be viewed as charismatic due to its embodiment of the authority of Muhammad. Accordingly, this study presents the important aspects of the traditions linked to the ideal of the Prophet as practised by the local spiritual leaders. Additionally, today they act as mediating shaykh s, which empowers Muslims to pursue a spiritual path amidst conflicting situations and pressures of modern life.

Ethnography in Literature Studies. I: The Native Tribes (“Inorodtsy”) Question and “Anna Karenina”
Authors:   MAE (Kunstkamera), RAS, Rezvan Efim
Published: April 2024

Literary texts are undoubtedly a promising historical source, the study of which lies at the intersection of the tasks of historical anthropology and the study of sources. In this respect, it is particularly promising to turn to the texts of Russian classics as historical and ethnographic sources, including “Anna Karenina” — one of the greatest novels of world literature, which has had a huge impact on the world's perception of Russia and Russians. The novel constantly reveals the prototypes of its main characters in comparison with the events of the time. For example, Count Pyotr Valuev (1814—1890), who served as Minister of State Property and Chairman of the Committee of Ministers of the Empire, was the main prototype for Alexei Karenin. Throughout the novel, Karenin, like Valuev in real life, is confronted with problems related to the corrupt buying and selling of “inorodtsy” lands. This led to a series of widely discussed scandals and eventually became a central issue in the programme of the Bashkir national movement on the eve of the Russian Revolution. The historical facts underlying the “inorodtsy settlement case” provide an insight into Valuev's life and work. This sheds new light on the character of Karenin in the novel and its relevance for contemporary readers, as well as on the possibilities of using the text of the novel as a historical and ethnographic source. The article is the first in a series devoted to ethnographic literary studies.

Authors: Goyal Binita , Baral Alina
Published: April 2024

Background Serum PSA is an important tumor marker for diagnosis of prostate cancer. However, it can rise in some other benign conditions like benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostatitis, prostatic infarct, instrumentation, prostate manipulations like examination, transurethral resection and urinary tract infection (UTI). The aim of this study was to find correlation of total serum PSA and PSAD with extent and aggressiveness of subclinical inflammation in BPH.MethodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted on 25 cases of transurethral resection of prostate and open prostatectomy specimens diagnosed with BPH received in time period of July 2022 to June 2023. Cases with clinical signs and symptoms of prostatitis, positive urine culture, diagnosed as prostate cancer, cases with history of previous surgery of prostate and history of instrumentation of urinary tract were excluded. Total serum PSA and prostate weight were measured. PSAD was calculated. Histological inflammation was graded with respect to extent and aggressiveness. PSA and PSAD were correlated with extent and aggressiveness of inflammation.ResultsThere was no statistically significant correlation between inflammation extent score and total serum PSA (p = 0.318). Also, there was no correlation between inflammation extent score and PSAD (p = 0.308). However, there was significant correlation between inflammation aggressiveness score and total serum PSA (p = 0.011). Similarly, there was also correlation between inflammation aggressiveness score and PSAD (p = 0.010).Conclusions Repeat unnecessary biopsies may be avoided in cases with high total serum PSA in presence of glandular epithelial disruption in histological prostatitis.

Authors: Subedi Kumudini , Laudari Shankar , Subedi Ashish , Pradhan Sangita , Upadhyay Hari Prasad , Dulal Sunu
Published: April 2024

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is considered an endemic disease in Nepal with predominantly chest related signs and symptoms. Sarcoidosis is a disease with similar clinical presentation. This study was conducted to detect the level of awareness amongst chest physicians, including cardiologists, pulmonologists and internists regarding the ocular manifestations of these diseases.
Methodology: 40 internal medicine practitioners were asked to fill a KAP questionnaire regarding ocular TB and sarcoidosis as part of an interactive awareness session on systemic and ocular forms of these diseases. The questionnaire was validated and pretested by both ophthalmologists and internal medicine practitioners.
Results: Among the 40 practitioners surveyed, only six were able to answer all knowledge-based questions correctly. The majority of practitioners (27) exhibited a favorable attitude toward disease management, while a considerable number (30 out of 40) expressed hesitancy in utilizing immunomodulators according to practice-based inquiries.
Conclusion: It is necessary to raise awareness amongst treating chest physicians regarding the ocular features of TB and Sarcoidosis so that adequate systemic treatment may be initiated and sight threatening complications do not occur. Collaboration between treating physicians and ophthalmologists is a dire necessity to achieve this goal.

Published: April 2024

The purpose of this study was to poll farm managers regarding the animal-based factors that may drive overgrown toes on-farm. All survey questions were self-reported by the participants. There was a total of 20 questions, which were separated into 6 different categories: farm demographics, flooring, sow characteristics, lameness, incidence of overgrown toes, and removal reason. The top 20 swine producing companies were chosen as potential survey participants by utilizing the Successful Farming Exclusive: Top 40 U.S. Pork Powerhouse List of 2020. Data will be presented descriptively (numbers and percentages). A total of 63 surveys (that encompassed 275,000 gilts and sows) were received. Most sow farms were located in Iowa and Illinois. Nearly 60% of sows were housed in barns 20-yrs or older and one third reported inventory between 4001 and 5000 head respectively. Approximately 63% of participants indicated that the gilt replacement source was internal. Two thirds had average sow parities between 3 and 4 with most sows being scored as a body condition score of 3 (ideal). Parities 3 and 4 were considered the time when overgrown toes were being observed in the breeding herd. Nine farms reported “dew claw problems” as their primary lameness reason. Twenty participants reported “foot lesions” as their primary lameness reason. Twenty-one farm managers reported “joint issues” as their primary lameness reason. Eight contributors reported “overgrown toes” as their primary lameness reason. Nearly 80% of the participants flagged gestation as where lameness was the most prevalent. When considering foot problems, pad lesions along with severely overgrown toes or dew claws were identified as the most common issues on-farm. The observed location of overgrown toes was mostly on the rear feet. Almost 75% noted that they engaged in some sort of “toe trimming”. Half reported sow age as the primary reason for removal, followed by performance and structural problems. In conclusion, this survey provides valuable information regarding current percentages of toe overgrowth in sow populations and highlights the importance of understanding what factors may drive overgrown toes and how they are being managed.

The article analyzes differences in the outcome of similar reforms undertaken by the USSR and China in the 1980-1990s. Whereas in the Soviet Union they led to the country’s collapse, China managed to overcome an acute political crisis in 1989 and achieve rapid economic growth. The authors analyze the different initial conditions of the reforms, which predetermined their nature and focus and produced different intermediate results. Center-region relations are identified as the key factor responsible for the different outcomes of the reforms. The authors conclude that the evolution from decentralization to recentralization, which China had undergone but which had only started in the Soviet Union, continued in post-Soviet Russia, producing the same result: recentralization was actually carried out at the beginning of the 21st century when Vladimir Putin came to power.
Chinese Policy in Central Asia in the Estimation of Chinese Experts
Authors:   Saint-Petersburg State University, School of International Relations, American Studies Department, Professor, Leksyutina Yana V.
Published: April 2024

After the start of Russia’s Special Military Operation in Ukraine in February 2022, some in the West thought that China might take advantage of Moscow’s diverted attention in order to elbow Russia out of Central Asia. Around the same time, China enhanced its economic and diplomatic activity in Central Asia. This situation raises a set of interrelated questions. What is behind China’s drastically increased activity in Central Asia? What are the driving forces of Chinese policy in the region? How does Beijing see its opportunities and challenges in Central Asia amid ongoing changes there and the overall new geopolitical situation? Does Beijing intend to undermine Russia’s position in the region? The author offers an analysis of what Chinese experts say and write on this score, providing some clues to the matter.
Instrumental Factors of Soft Power in an Era of Global Turbulence
Authors:   Primakov National Research Institute of World Economy and International Relations (IMEMO), Center for Post-Soviet Studies, Senior Research Fellow, Ofitserov-Belskiy Dmitriy V.
Published: April 2024

The article presents a realist view of soft power. In this interpretation, soft power is a tool that provides advantages in international competition. As a concept and practice, soft power is associated with the idea of globalization and hegemonism, it serves primarily the interests of the hegemon but ultimately creates common benefits for a significant part of the international community. However, today we are witnessing the crisis of American hegemony and weariness of the West’s soft power. These changes encourage the search for new ways to build a fairer world order. The author argues that to achieve this goal, Russia’s soft power should go beyond efforts to improve its international image and protect its sovereignty and traditional values. This vision of soft power does not elucidate what the future world should be like and what role Russia should play in it.
One Hundred Years after Lenin: The Necessity for a Leninist Global Strategy
Authors:   Ambassador (Sri Lanka), Jayatilleka Dayan
Published: April 2024

Resistance to unipolar hegemony exists, but that resistance must be global. It can be globalized (just as the war against Russia is globalized) only if Russia supports that resistance, sometimes as vanguard and sometimes as rearguard. Leninist methodology demands grasping the greater Middle East as the weakest link in the chain of Western imperialism and doing everything possible to strengthen counter-hegemonic national liberation struggles everywhere.
Global Stasis as a Party System, or Welcome to World Civil War I
Authors:   Professor, School of Politics and Governance, National Research University–Higher School of Economics, Kaspe Svyatoslav I. ,   Editor-in-Chief, Politeia journal
Published: April 2024

Using the ancient Greek notions of ‘stasis’ and ‘polemos,’ the author shows that these two modes of war can merge and produce not only negative but also positive effects. Limited and controlled violence between “one’s own people” (stasis) proves to be less destructive than violence between “strangers” that is unlimited and uncontrolled (polemos). The author argues that actors involved in stasis can justifiably be identified as political parties. Some known ways to moderate party disputes and gear them towards the common good can be used in a global stasis. The best-known way is to create a relatively stable party system. Stability and predictability are best achieved in isolating systems that fix the qualitatively unequal status of individual parties and isolate them from the processes of coalition-building and political decision-making. The author shows that this strategy is increasingly being applied to Russia as an object of isolation; he sees no realistic scenarios either for ending the “global civil war” or for its participants to renounce the policy of isolation.

Published: April 2024

Climate change is threatening sustainability and deepening inequality. The purpose of this study is to identify social workers' action competences to respond to climate change and reveal the factors influencing this by applying the VBN (Value-Belief-Norm) theory developed to explain environmental behavior. To achieve the research purpose, data were collected online using a structured questionnaire targeting social workers in one region. The responses of 308 social workers were subjected to descriptive statistical analysis, correlation analysis, and mediation model verification using SPSS22.0 and PROCESS macro(Hayes, 2013). In addition, using the bootstrap method, we verified the sequential mediating effects and direct and indirect effects of value, belief, norm, and action competence on climate change. As a result of the analysis, it was found that there were differences in values, ideology, norms, and implementation capabilities for climate change response depending on the presence or absence of climate change related education and activities. Second, it was found that values, ideology, and ecological norms directly and indirectly affect social workers' action competence on climate change, Based on these results, suggestions applicable to social welfare education and practice were presented.

The social welfare field practicum is a fundamental part of the social welfare discipline, representing its identity as an applied social science. In August 2019, the Enforcement Rule of Social Welfare Services Act was revised to address the issues of over-issuing social worker certificates and to strengthen field practicum requirements in order to promote professionalism. As a result of this revision, significant changes have been made to the field practicum since 2020. The purpose of this study is to identify the experiences of each practicum subject, including universities, educational institutions, students, and placement agencies, in field practicum after the revision. Additionally, this study aims to propose ways to improve social welfare education in Korea. The survey was conducted from July to August 2021 and included 95 universities and educational institutions, 318 students, and 2,051 placement agencies. The analysis results indicate that there are differences in the management of field practicum instructors, seminars, and orientation, as well as in the payment of practicum fees and institutional support, depending on the type of educational institution. Overall, students evaluated their practicum experience positively, but also reported unsatisfactory and unfair experiences. The study revealed varying perspectives on the revision of the Enforcement Rules depending on the type of educational institution. Based on these findings, the study proposes the initiation of a social welfare field practicum certification system for social welfare educational institutions. It also suggests the establishment of a consultative board that includes all educational institutions and stakeholders. Additionally, the study recommends improving the management of practicum fees, highlighting the need for standardized education plans and teaching for field practicum, and preparing fundamental ways to improve the field practicum system.

In this work we study the change on the wettability and solid properties of microcrystalline cellulose (Avicel PH101)after it was wet and dried, through drop penetration experiments in slightly compacted porous beds. We perform these experiments with water and a silicone oil, (Polidimethilsyloxane–PDMS) and we determine a dimensionless parameter that takes into account all the water penetration factors, including wettability and swelling. We consider three different scenarios, original MCC, and after one and two wetting and drying cycles. For each case we study the particle size effects by considering two subset samples SiA)25<φ<75μm and SiB)75<φ<125μm. We were able to determine, as it was expected, that PDMS penetration dynamics is not affected by the wetting–drying cycles but water is. The penetration rate goes down after cellulose was wet. Finally we discuss how these behavior may affect the different processes where microcrystalline cellulose is used.

In this study, we present an experimental investigation of the flow structure changes in non-Newtonian fluids subjected to periodic variable fluxes inside rigid-walled tubes. We employ a liquid mixture composed of water and polyacrylamide to account for various rheological properties. We obtain the velocity fields for each experimental case using the Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) technique and we analyse their variations based on different properties of the pulsatile input signal. Reynolds numbers between 200 and 350 are considered, with a 10% variation in amplitude.

The effects of pasture rest period (14, 21, 28, 35 and 42 days) on green dry matter (GDM) yield, chemical composition and morphogenetic and structural characteristics of Megathyrsus maximus cv. Quênia were evaluated under natural field conditions. The decrease of rest period resulted in higher GDM yields, however implied significant decreases in the levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium and potassium. The leaf appearance rate and populational tiller density are inversely proportional to rest period, occurring the inverse for foliar senescence rate. Maximum GDM yields, number of leaves tiller-1, average leaf length, leaf expansion rate and leaf area index were obtained with rest periods of 36.3; 32.1; 38.0; 24.4 and 34.4 days, respectively. These data suggest that pasture grass grazing at 35 days of rest period were optimal for obtain maximum yields and regrowth of rich forage.

Ocular neoplasms represent a growing part of the veterinary ophthalmic routine. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is described as rare in dogs, but it has been on the increase due to different etiologies. The presence of chronic keratitis and exposure to ultraviolet radiation are some of these factors. In the present study, the objective was to report cryotherapy, a technique that was effective in the treatment of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). A 13-year-old mixed-breed dog was seen at a veterinary center in Londrina-PR, with a neoformation in the right eye. Ophthalmic examination revealed no other changes. Direct and consensual pupillary reflexes were present and intraocular pressure was 12 mmHg. Slit lamp bio-microscopy was performed, which showed increased corneal thickness and superficial corneal vascularization with neoformation infiltrating the epithelium and small part of the stroma. On that account, the diagnosis of SCC was made which led to the decision to remove the neoplasm. Thus, a lamellar keratectomy was performed associated with the cryotherapy technique, through temporary tarsorrhaphy. The suspicion of carcinoma is based on the macroscopic morphological basis of the lesion and its location, but the definitive diagnosis is made through histopathology with microscopic examination of the injured tissue. It may be concluded that through clinical history, described etiologies and histopathological examination are essential for the diagnosis of SCC.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) can be defined as a multisystemic disease that originates in the immune system and that can also affect the neurological, renal, hematopoietic, respiratory and skeletal systems. This condition has several clinical manifestations, and therefore it is important to discard all differential diagnoses before concluding the diagnosis of SLE. Therefore, the diagnosis is considered a great challenge in veterinary medicine. This is given from the combination of clinical signs, evaluation of physical examination, hematological and biochemical tests and indirect immunofluorescence test for antinuclear antibodies (ANA). In addition, the evaluation of at least two major signs is used as a criterion for diagnosis, namely, skin lesions, hemolytic anemia, polyarthritis, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia and glomerulonephritis, or one major and two minor signs, such as fever, lymphadenopathy, pericarditis, pleuritis and changes in the nervous system. The treatment of the disease includes the use of immunosuppressants in order to prevent the progression of the disease and the prognosis varies according to the affected systems. This paper presents a case report of SLE and discusses its diagnosis and respective treatment.
