Recent works on learned index open a new direction for the indexing field. The key insight of the learned index is to approximate the mapping between keys and positions with piece-wise linear functions. Such methods require partitioning key space for a better approximation. Although lots of heuristics are proposed to improve the approximation quality, the bottleneck is that the segmentation overheads could hinder the overall performance.

This paper tackles the approximation problem by applying a
distribution transformation
to the keys before constructing the learned index. A two-stage Normalizing-Flow-based Learned index framework (NFL) is proposed, which first transforms the original complex key distribution into a near-uniform distribution, then builds a learned index leveraging the transformed keys. For effective distribution transformation, we propose a Numerical Normalizing Flow (Numerical NF). Based on the characteristics of the transformed keys, we propose a robust After-Flow Learned Index (AFLI). To validate the performance, comprehensive evaluations are conducted on both synthetic and real-world workloads, which shows that the proposed NFL produces the highest throughput and the lowest tail latency compared to the state-of-the-art learned indexes.
Marguerite de France - Annexes
Authors: Santamaria Jean-Baptiste
Published: September 2022

Fille du roi Philippe V et de Jeanne de Bourgogne, Marguerite de France
(1312-1382) est une figure majeure et pourtant méconnue du XIVe siècle. Après
une éducation soignée marquée par l’influence de Mahaut ainsi que par les
raffinements et les crises qui caractérisent la cour des derniers Capétiens,
elle est mariée au futur comte de Flandre Louis de Nevers en 1320. Investie de
la délicate mission de réconcilier les lions et les lys, elle affronte des
débuts calamiteux sur le plan personnel et politique avant que son installation
en Flandre et la naissance de l’héritier Louis de Male ne lui confèrent une
certaine influence. Si les révoltes flamandes puis le veuvage la conduisent à un
retrait apparent, elle maintient la Flandre dans l’alliance française en
imposant à son fils une série de mariages. Héritant en 1361 des comtés d’Artois
et de Bourgogne, elle devient une figure essentielle du jeu politique,
redressant une situation d’abord périlleuse et rassemblant autour d’elle un
nouveau parti bourguignon. Cette vie de princesse est marquée par une intense
circulation s’appuyant sur un vaste réseau de résidences, et s’accompagne des
raffinements d’un mode de vie princier qui éclaire sur une culture matérielle
mêlant usages français, septentrionaux et bourguignons. Du mécénat aux pratiques
dévotionnelles s’élabore l’identité complexe d’une fille de roi de France
marquée par Mahaut d’Artois, jouant des images traditionnelles d’un pouvoir
féminin pacificateur tout en recourant à la force. A ce titre, elle peut être
considérée comme une marraine de l’Etat bourguignon.

Impact of benzimidazole functional groups on the n-doping properties of benzimidazole derivatives
Authors: Tang Chenqing , Li Gongchun
Published: September 2022

n-Dopants play a crucial role in improving organic electronic devices through controlled doping of organic semiconductors. Benzimidazoline-based dopants have been reported as one of the best solution-processed n-type dopant precursors. In this study, two benzimidazoline-based dopants (BIBDTO and BBIBDTO) were prepared using benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b′]dithiophene as the 2-Ar unit, and their n-doping properties on the fullerene derivative PTEG-2 as the host material were carried out. For BIBDTO and BBIBDTO, respectively, the temperature at which 5% weight loss was achieved was 229 and 265°C. By comparing the ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and density functional theory calculated data, it is found that BBIBDTO has a higher energy level, which is more favorable for charge transfer. Additionally, both the oxidative titration experiments and conductivity characterization of the dopants showed that BBIBDTO was more advantageous at low doping concentrations, and the BBIBDTO-doped PTEG-2 films obtained a conductivity of 0.15 S cm−1 at 10 mol% doping concentration. However, at high dopant concentrations, the dopant volume increases, potentially disrupting the microstructure. The highest conductivity of 0.29 S cm–1 was obtained at a BIBDTO doping concentration of 15 mol%. This study delves into the effect of benzimidazole functional groups on the doping performance of benzimidazoline-based dopant molecules, providing insight into designing novel efficient n-type dopant molecules and further selecting the type of dopant for various doping systems.
The modelling of railway subgrade strengthening foundation on weak soils
Authors: Jankowski Wojciech , Sołkowski Juliusz
Published: September 2022

As a consequence of increased axle loads and speeds of trains on modernised railway lines, there may occur problems with bearing capacity and stability of the subgrade in some sections of the railway network. This is the situation we are dealing with right now on the Polish State Railways network. Therefore, as a case study, a fragment of an existing railway embankment based on a weak foundation was chosen for the analysis of train–track–subgrade interaction. A two-stage train–track–subgrade model has been developed. The model consists of the upper part (train–track) and the lower part (subgrade-foundation). The first part is modelled as a self-contained system of differential equations which are solved by means of finite difference method and yield the stress levels on the subgrade. These stresses are treated as a load for the lower system modelled using FEM. The model has been validated using experimental data from literature, authors’ measurements, and railway staff measurements of the track geometry. Several cases of strengthening methods were calculated and compared with measurements on the railway section under consideration. Good agreement between the prediction and the measurement was found. The novelty of the model is including the heterogeneity of the subgrade, the strengthening methods, and very deep layers of its foundation as well as adding the influence of vibration on the weakening of soils. It was found that this influence is noticeable and should be included in the prediction of railway subgrade behaviour

SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus, spread across Germany within just a short period of time. Seroepidemiological studies are able to estimate the proportion of the population with antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 infection (seroprevalence) as well as the level of undetected infections, which are not captured in official figures. In the seroepidemiological study Corona Monitoring Nationwide (RKI-SOEP-2), biospecimens and interview data were collected in a nationwide population-based subsample of the Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP). By using laboratory-analyzed blood samples to detect antibodies to the SARS-CoV-2 virus, we were able to identify a history of vaccination or infection in study participants. By combining these results with survey data, we were able to identify groups within the population that are at increased risk of infection. By linking the RKI-SOEP-2 survey data with data from other waves of the SOEP survey, we will be able to examine the medium- to long-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including effects of long COVID, in diverse areas of life. Furthermore, the data provide insight into the population’s willingness to be vaccinated as well as related attitudes and conditions. In sum, the RKI-SOEP-2 survey data offer a better understanding of the scope of the epidemic in Germany and can help in identifying target groups for infection control in the present and future pandemics.
Pattern of presentation of paediatric endocrine disorders in a Nigerian tertiary institution: an 11-year survey
Authors: Chikani Ugo N. , Ohuche Ijeoma O. , Dike Chinedu M.
Published: September 2022

Objectives

There is need to generate epidemiological data regarding paediatric endocrine disorders (PEDs) in sub-Saharan Africa, since little attention has been given endocrine disorders in children in this sub-region over the years. The aim of the study was to determine the sociodemographic characteristics of children with endocrine disorders in our paediatric endocrinology clinic, as well as the pattern of presentation of these disorders.

Methods

This study included paediatric patients who presented to the endocrine clinic over an 11-year period. Data of patients seen during the study period were retrieved from the case notes and were analyzed using SPSS version 23.

Results

A total of 188 patients were seen over the study period, with an almost equal male:female ratio. Five of the patients (2.7%) could not be classified into any gender because of genital ambiguity. The age of the patients at diagnosis ranged from 0 to 18 years of age with a median age of 9.03 (9.94) years. All the 14 subdivisions of paediatric endocrine disorders were documented among the patients, with thyroid disorders ranking highest among the PEDs seen. Type 1 diabetes mellitus, obesity and pubertal disorders were the most prevalent PEDs (in descending order), after thyroid disorders. Congenital hypothyroidism accounted for 14.3% of patients with thyroid disorders.

Conclusions

Thyroid disorders, type 1 diabetes mellitus and obesity rank highest among the PEDs in our locality. There is the need to create awareness among healthcare workers and the general public regarding these disorders, in order to improve appropriate and timely presentation of patients to the clinic.
Perinatal diet and offspring anxiety: A scoping review
Authors: Monteiro Sasha , Nejad Yousef Sadat , Aucoin Monique
Published: September 2022

Health behaviors during pregnancy have an impact on the developing offspring. Dietary factors play a role in the development of mental illness: however, less is known about the impact of diet factors during pre-conception, gestation, and lactation on anxiety levels in offspring. This scoping review sought to systematically map the available research involving human and animal subjects to identify nutritional interventions which may have a harmful or protective effect, as well as identify gaps. Studies investigating an association between any perinatal diet pattern or diet constituent and offspring anxiety were included. The number of studies reporting an association with increased or decreased levels of anxiety were counted and presented in figures. A total of 55,914 results were identified as part of a larger scoping review, and 120 articles met the criteria for inclusion. A greater intake of phytochemicals and vitamins were associated with decreased offspring anxiety whereas maternal caloric restriction, protein restriction, reduced omega-3 consumption, and exposure to a high fat diet were associated with higher levels of offspring anxiety. Results were limited by a very large proportion of animal studies. High quality intervention studies involving human subjects are warranted to elucidate the precise dietary factors or constituents that modulate the risk of anxiety in offspring.
Postkoloniale Kirchengeschichtsdidaktik im Horizont der Lebenswelten Heranwachsender
Authors: Konz Britta
Published: September 2022

Dieser Beitrag skizziert Konturen einer postkolonialen Kirchengeschichtsdidaktik. Er greift damit die Herausforderungen auf, die sich angesichts eines durch Globalisierung, Migration und Digitalisierung vollziehenden Wandels von Erinnerungskulturen stellen. Hierdurch sind neue Wege der Vermittlung von (Kirchen-)Geschichte erforderlich. Zunächst werden die Anliegen postkolonialer Theorie und postkolonialer Kirchengeschichte skizziert. Hiervon ausgehend wird ausgelotet, wie postkoloniale Kirchengeschichtsdidaktik im Horizont der Lebenswelten Heranwachsender und ihrer identitätsbezogenen Spurensuche verankert werden kann. Um eine spezifische religiöse Auseinandersetzung mit Geschichte und Erinnerung sowie den Erfahrungen von Leid, Scham und Schuld anzuregen, wird ausblickend das Konzept des Anamnetischen Theologisierens vorgestellt. Es regt dazu an, über den persönlichen und kollektiven Umgang mit Geschichte und Erinnerung nachzudenken und biblisch-theologische Vorstellungen von Gerechtigkeit als Orientierungswissen verfügbar zu machen, die über die Vorfindlichkeiten der Realität hinaus hoffen lassen.
Christlicher oder evangelischer Religionsunterricht? Zur Wiederkehr der unliebsamen Bekenntnisfrage
Authors: Schweitzer Friedrich
Published: September 2022

Dieser Beitrag bezieht sich auf die aktuelle Diskussion über einen „Christlichen Religionsunterricht“ in gemeinsamer Verantwortung der Kirchen in Niedersachsen. Der Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf der Frage nach der Bekenntnisbindung eines solchen Unterrichts – angesichts der Tatsache, dass es kein gemeinsames Bekenntnis der römisch-katholischen Kirche und der evangelischen Kirchen gibt. Dargestellt werden diverse Schwierigkeiten und ungelöste Fragen, die sich daraus für das genannte Reformprojekt ergeben, angefangen bei der kirchlich-gemeinsamen Aufsicht über einen solchen Unterricht bis hin zu dem Problem, was aus Religionslehrkräften, aber auch Schülern und Eltern werden soll, die sich nicht auf einen gemeinsamen „Christlichen Unterricht“ einlassen wollen. Am Ende des Beitrags wird eine Reihe von Prüffragen für die religionspädagogische Beurteilung des neuen Modells formuliert.

Pálfy Eszternek e folyóiratban olvasható tanulmánya meggyőzően érvel amellett, hogy a korábban mellékszereplőnek tekintett Naprádiné a szerelemkoncepció felől tekintve Kemény regényének egyik kulcsfigurája. E korreferátum egyetért Naprádiné kitüntetett pozíciójával, ám regénybeli szerepét, az olvasáshoz és a szerelemhez való viszonyát a rajongás (enthusiasmus) (Schwärmerei) XIX. fogalma felől interpretálja. A Platónnál még alapvetően pozitív értelemben előforduló rajongás (enthusiasmus) Luther értelmezése nyomán negatív felhangot kap. Ő főként az 1520-as, 1530-as évek millenarista protestáns mozgalmait nevezte rajongónak. A vallási kontextusból a kifejezés átkerült az orvosi, politikai, morálfilozófiai, esztétikai és pszichológiai diskurzusba, s jelentése döntően negatív volt. Kemény regényei esetében többnyire a politikai és a vallási rajongás aspektusát hangsúlyozza a szakirodalom. Ám a 19. század elején a fogalomnak egy neveléselméleti aspektusa is létezett. Ez alapján a regényben Tarnócziné a vallásos rajongást, Naprádiné pedig a képzelődési rajongást képviseli. Sára tragédiája szempontjából meghatározó e két nevelési attitűd, amelynek eredményeként Sárából szerelmi rajongó válik.
Optimization of Advanced Laboratory Monotonic and Cyclic Triaxial Testing on Fine Sands

Published: September 2022

Monotonic and cyclic triaxial testing provides key information for a wide range of sensitive geotechnical problems. This paper assesses the potential impact on stress-strain measurements of several error sources and discusses how test quality may be improved. External volume gauges are shown to be subject to significant errors that depend on the pressure level. While high-resolution local radial strain measurement presents considerable challenges, especially in long-duration cyclic tests, problems with “floating” radial-belt and alternative “L-configuration” systems were overcome by steps that allow strains as low as 10−4 % to be resolved reliably. Sample end conditions are shown more important than is commonly appreciated. Employing smooth, enlarged, and lubricated end platens can avoid the recording of misleadingly high shear resistances, which are most significant with relatively loose specimens tested under low effective stresses. Stiffnesses and dilation trends were also recorded more reliably in tests employing smooth, enlarged, and lubricated end platens. The arrangements overcome significant strain errors even in tests employing local instruments and specimens with initial height-to-diameter ratios of 2.
Role of Epicardial Adipose Tissue in Triggering and Maintaining Atrial Fibrillation
Authors: Wang Weifa , Tian Yanfeng , Wang Wei , Yin Hongpeng , Yin Dechun , Tian Ye
Published: September 2022

Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia leading to cardiogenic stroke. Without membranous sructure between epicardial adipose tissue and atrial myocardium, epicardial adipose tissue directly covers the surface of the atrial myocardium. The formation of an epicardial adipose tissue inflammatory microenvironment, fibrosis, infiltration by epicardial adipose tissue, autonomic dysfunction and oxidative stress are important mechanisms that trigger and maintain atrial fibrillation. Those mechanisms are reviewed herein.
The Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase-Activating Polypeptide (PACAP) System of the Central Amygdala Mediates the Detrimental Effects of Chronic Social Defeat Stress in Rats

Published: September 2022

Many psychiatric diseases stem from an inability to cope with stressful events, as chronic stressors can precipitate or exacerbate psychopathologies. The neurobiological mechanisms underlying the response to chronic stress and the resulting anxiety states remain poorly understood. Stress neuropeptides in the extended amygdala circuitry mediate the behavioral response to stress, and hyperactivity of these systems has been hypothesized to be responsible for the emergence of persistent negative outcomes and for the pathogenesis of anxiety-related and trauma-related disorders. Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) and its receptor PAC1R are highly expressed within the central amygdala (CeA) and play a key role in stress regulation. Here, we used chronic social defeat stress (CSDS), a clinically relevant model of psychosocial stress that produces robust maladaptive behaviors in rodents. We found that 10 days of CSDS cause a significant increase in PACAP levels selectively in the CeA of rats, as well as an increase in PAC1R mRNA. Using a viral vector strategy, we found that PAC1R knock-down in the CeA attenuates the CSDS-induced body weight loss and prevents the CSDS-induced increase in anxiety-like behavior. Notably, CSDS animals display reduced basal corticosterone (CORT) levels and PAC1R knock-down in CeA further reduce them. Finally, the CeA PAC1R knock-down blocks the increase in corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) immunoreactivity induced by CSDS in CeA. Our findings support the notion that the persistent activation of the PACAP-PAC1R system in the CeA mediates the behavioral outcomes of chronic psychosocial stress independently of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, perhaps via the recruitment of the CRF system.

Recent reports indicate an increase in Leydig cell tumor (LCT) incidence. Radical orchiectomy is the standard therapy in children and adults, although it entails physical and psychosocial side effects. Testis-sparing surgery can be a consideration for benign LCT of 2.5 cm or less in size. Malignant LCTs respond poorly to conventional chemotherapy, so new treatment modalities are needed. In this study, we observed increased histidine decarboxylase expression and pro-angiogenic potential in LCT surgically resected from pediatric patients (fetal to pubertal) vs control samples from patients without endocrine or metabolic disorders which were collected at necropsy. We, therefore, evaluated for the first time the antitumor efficacy of two histidine decarboxylase inhibitors (α-methyl-dl-histidine dihydrochloride (α-MHD) and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG)), alone and combined with carboplatin, in two preclinical models of LCT. MA-10 and R2C Leydig tumor cells, representing two different LCT subtypes, were used to generate syngeneic and xenograft mouse LCT models, respectively. In the syngeneic model, monotherapy with α-MHD effectively reduced tumor growth and angiogenesis. In the xenografts, which showed co-expression of histidine decarboxylase and CYP19, the combination of EGCG plus carboplatin was the most effective therapy, leading to LCT growth arrest and undetectable levels of plasmatic estradiol. Testicular and body weights remained unaltered. On the basis of this study, histidine decarboxylase may emerge as a novel pharmacological target for LCT treatment.

Anonim ortaklıkta pay sahiplerinin asli borcu, sermaye taahhüdünü yerine getirmektir. Nitekim TTK 329/2’de pay sahiplerinin sadece taahhüt ettikleri sermaye paylarıyla şirkete karşı sorumlu oldukları belirtilmiştir. Bu açıdan pay sahiplerinin şirket alacaklılarına karşı herhangi bir sorumluluğu bulunmadığı gibi, sermaye koyma borcu dışında şirkete karşı kural olarak herhangi bir yükümlülük altında olduğu da söylenemez. Bu durum, anonim ortaklıklar hukukunda tek borç ilkesi olarak anılmaktadır. Tek borç ilkesi, mutlak nitelikte değildir; ancak hangi durumların bu ilkenin istisnası olduğu tartışmalıdır. Bu çalışmada öncelikle tek borç ilkesi ve istisnaları karşılaştırmalı hukuk da dikkate alınarak incelenmiştir.

TTK 421/2-a bendinde ise, esas sözleşme değişikliğiyle bilanço zararlarının kapatılması amacıyla pay sahiplerine yükümlülük ve ikincil yükümlülük getirilebileceği hükme bağlanmıştır. Çalışmamızın devamında tek borç ilkesi çerçevesinde TTK 421/2-a bendi değerlendirilmiş, söz konusu düzenlemenin bu ilkenin bir istisnası olup olmadığı tartışılmıştır. Daha sonra ise TTK 421/2-a bendinin uygulama şartları ele alınarak, pay sahiplerine sermaye koyma borcu dışında getirilecek ek yükümlülüklerin şartları ve kapsamı belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır.

Evaluating Teachers’ Practices Beyond Content and Procedural Knowledge in a Colombian Context
Authors: Niebles-Thevening Indira , Bailey Angela , Rosado Nayibe
Published: September 2022

This article reports on a qualitative case study that explored the use of Kumaravadivelu’s “Knowing, Analyzing, Recognizing, Doing, Seeing” model as a teacher evaluation tool to identify critical and reflective aspects of teachers’ practices for their professional development. The participants were nine English language teachers and their students at a Colombian university. Teacher survey responses, journals, observations, and students’ perceptions were collected and thematically categorized and analyzed under the model. Results suggest that teachers have strong procedural knowledge and self-perceptions but struggle with recognizing unique opportunities for critical approaches to their practice, indicating that the model provides more efficient ways of analyzing teachers and focusing on more specific contextual areas in the teachers’ professional development.
Using Pathological Traits for the Assessment of Suicide Risk: A Suicide Indicator Proposal for the Dimensional Clinical Personality Inventory 2

Published: September 2022

This study aimed to investigate the discriminative capacity of IDCP-2 factors to identify people with suicide risk. Moreover, we are providing a suicide total score for IDCP-2. Participeted 346 people aged between 18 and 72 years who responded to ASIQ, IDCP-2, and PID-5. We divided participants into three groups: low-risk group moderate-risk and high-risk group. We conducted mean comparisons, linear regression analysis, and ROC curve verification. The IDCP-2 factors were able to discriminate between the groups, with the high-risk presenting the highest means. The regression indicated Self-devaluation and Hopelessness as variables with a significant single contribution in explaining suicidal behavior. Suicide risk indicators demonstrated adequate performance in identifying people according to the risk group. Our findings indicate that the IDCP-2 factors can discriminate groups of people according to suicidal behavior. Besides, the index developed showed sensitivity in the identification of people who reported attempted suicide.   How to cite this article: Gonçalves, A.P., Machado, G.M., Pianowski, G., Carvalho, L.F.

Published: September 2022

The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence and frequency of perpetration and victimization of different types of dating violence (DV), among adolescents from 13 to 19 years old in five capital cities of Colombia (Bogotá, Bucaramanga, Ibagué, Tunja, and Yopal), making comparisons by sex. The Spanish version of the Conflict in Adolescent Dating Relationships Inventory was used and various statistical analyses, including the one-way MANOVA, were performed. The results show a high prevalence of DV, particularly verbal/emotional and bi-directional (almost 90 % of the participants), pointing out that sex could have a statistically significant effect on the prevalence of the different types of DV, being higher the proportion of men who perpetrated sexual violence and higher the proportion of women who perpetrated verbal/emotional and physical violence. These results indicate the need to continue investigating the phenomenon in Colombia, to carry out different prevention campaigns that are sensitive to differences by sex in prevalence.   How to cite this article: Rey-Anacona, C.

Nicotine Differentially Modulates Emotional-Locomotor Interactions for Adult or Adolescent Rats
Authors: Novoa Carlos , Solano José L. , Ballesteros-Acosta Hans Nicolás , Lamprea Marisol R. , Ortega Leonardo A.
Published: September 2022

Previous research has shown that exposure to nicotine and other drugs of abuse stimulate dopaminergic neurons in the mesolimbic circuit. Sustained activation of this circuit by prolonged exposure to drugs promotes locomotor sensitization. However, there are inconsistent reports about nicotine-induced locomotor sensitization when assessed among different developmental stages. We evaluated exploratory behavior on specific areas of the open field as an indicator of behavioral disinhibition and general locomotor activity as an indicator of nicotine-induced locomotor sensitization, to further explore the mechanisms underlying behavioral adaptations to nicotine exposure in animals from different developmental stages. We found that while adolescent and adult rats are equally responsive to nicotine-induced locomotor sensitization, nicotine disrupts inhibition of risk-related behavior only in adolescent rats. Together, our results suggest that chronic daily exposure to nicotine promotes potentiation of its stimulant effects on locomotor activity. In adolescents, this effect is accompanied by a decreased capacity to inhibit risk-related behaviors under the acute effect of the drug.

La actividad cafetalera en Costa Rica procesa aproximadamente 69.000 toneladas de café mediante la técnica de beneficiado húmedo. Esta actividad conlleva un alto impacto ambiental debido a la generación de 8 L de agua residual/kg de café oro producido. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo utilizar el agua residual del procesamiento de café como sustrato en celdas combustibles microbianas (CCM), con el propósito de generar energía eléctrica a través de su uso y, a la vez, disminuir la carga orgánica del residuo. La CCM empleó un cátodo modificado con ftalocianinas de hierro (FePc), generó una eficiencia coulómbica de 0,7% y una densidad de potencia de 89 μW/cm2 en un ciclo de operación de cinco días. Además, se determinó que la CCM disminuye la demanda química de oxígeno (DQO) del residuo hasta en 27% bajo las condiciones de operación nativas del sustrato, a temperatura ambiente, sin mediadores químicos para la reacción anódica y con el uso de electrodos de platino para el cátodo. El estudio confirma la oportunidad de emplear el sustrato con una flora microbiana nativa apta para la operación de la tecnología de la CCM, y así perfilar el dispositivo como una opción novedosa para el tratamiento de este residuo en Costa Rica.

Authors:   Kuban State University, Baranov Andrei
Published: September 2022

Introduction. The relevance of the topic is to identify the practices and socio-cultural manifestations of the legacy of the Civil War in the Soviet society of the 1920s. In the South of Russia, violence persisted in the form of insurgent actions, clashes over land and the distribution of power resources, symbolic influence. The purpose of the article is to identify the forms of the legacy of the Civil War in the relations of the Cossacks and the peasantry of the South of Russia with the authorities in 1921–1926. Methods and materials. The novelty of the article is manifested in the synchronous comparative analysis of conflicts based on the materials of the Don, Kuban and Terek. Analysis and results. Attention is paid to the experience of the amnesty of White movement participants and repatriates in 1924–1925, the presence of alternative forms of civil self-organization in the village communities. The similarities and differences in the perception of the experience of the Civil War by Cossacks and “nonresident” peasants, as well as by socio-class groups of the poor, middle-class and well-off are established. It is proved that the party-state authorities initially regarded the course “Face to the village” as ensuring civil peace, but by the spring of 1926 they refused full-fledged reforms. The civil peace was also disputed within the community of farmers: both by wealthy Cossacks who dreamed of restoring the pre-revolutionary order, and by “red partisans” and demobilized Red Army soldiers who wanted a second revolution. The “military alarm” of 1927 and the extraordinary measures of grain procurement led to the return of the Southern Russian villages to mass practices of violence.

Introduction. The article is devoted to the reconstruction of the events that took place in the city of Mariinsk on May 25, 1918. On this day, the Czechoslovak Corps, which was located at the railway station, rebelled. In historiography it is believed that the uprising of the Czechs and Slovaks provoked a large-scale civil war in Russia. Methods and materials. The main sources for the study were the materials of the periodical press of that time. The newspapers “Siberian Life” and “Voice of the People” published articles by correspondents who directly observed the events taking place in the city or received information from direct participants in the uprising. In addition, archival materials were used, in particular, a telegram from a member of the executive committee of the Mariinsky Soviet of Deputies, Kolesnikov. Analysis. It was established that at the end of May 1918, there were three military and political forces in the city of Mariinsk: a local Red Guard detachment; a Red Guard outsider (the so-called partisans) that arrived from the cities of Western Siberia; and a Czechoslovak Corps. During the conflict that occurred between the two Red Guard units the local Red Guards were disarmed. After that the partisans began to rob local residents and apartments of railway workers. To calm them down, the troops of the Czechoslovak Corps intervened. They quickly disarmed the partisans and took control of the city. Analysis of the telegram of Kolesnikov, a member of the executive committee of the Mariinsky Council of Deputies, showed that it is a copy of the original and contains several significant errors. In particular, the uprising of the Czechoslovak Corps took place on the evening of May 25, and not in the morning, as indicated in the telegram. The Mariinsky events became known in Moscow on the same day. The Chairman of the Supreme Military Council, L. D. Trotsky, took advantage of this to issue a brutal order for the disarmament of the Czechoslovak Corps and the physical destruction of those Czechs who would not surrender to Soviet power. Results. To some extent, the uprising of the Czechoslovak Corps was forced. It was a response to the unrest that arose in the city after the conflict between two Red Guard detachments. The central Soviet authorities in Moscow took advantage of this and ordered the actual extermination of the Czechs. This was the impetus for the emergence of large-scale military operations and Civil War in Russia. Authors' contribution. A. N. Ermolaev identified historical sources, deciphered the text of the telegram, designed the text of the article. I. Yu. Uskov participated in the deciphering of the text of the telegram and the preparation of the text of the article.
The Combat Condition of the Units of the Czech-Slovak Corps in Late 1917 – Early 1918
Authors:   Charles University, Tatarov Boris
Published: September 2022

Introduction. The article examines the features of the combat condition of the units of the CzechSlovak Corps in 1917 – early 1918. It is legitimate to assert that the history of the formation and participation in hostilities of the Czech-Slovak Corps occupies a prominent place both in the history of the First World War and the Revolution, and in the history of the Civil War in Russia in 1914–1920. Methods and materials. The study is based on unique documentary evidence from the archives of the Czech Republic, not previously introduced into scientific circulation. They apply both to individual military units and subunits, and to the corps as a whole. Despite the rather large volume of publications in Russian historiography, the military-political history of the corps during the Civil War cannot yet be considered sufficiently studied. Analysis. The article gives an assessment of the real combat condition of the corps units in late 1917 – early 1918, in the period preceding the anti-Bolshevik action.The factual data presented in the article significantly correct the point of view currently prevailing in terms of Russian historiography and historical journalism, according to which the Czech-Slovak units located along the TransSiberian railway from Penza to Vladivostok were distinguished by large numbers and were well armed. The article analyzes the weapons and ammunition available in the arsenals of the corps, assesses the military training of its various units. In fact, we can say that the numerical strength, as well as the degree of combat readiness of the corps units were not high enough. Results. Therefore, based on this aspect of the history of the Czech-Slovak Corps, it is impossible to say unequivocally about a pre-prepared and carefully planned speech. Nevertheless, the events that took place undoubtedly contributed to the escalation of the Civil War in Russia.
The Civil War and “National Orthodoxy” (Bolshevik Persecution of Icons and Relics of Saints)
Authors:   Saint Petersburg Institute of History of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Rogozny Pavel
Published: September 2022

Introduction. The article focuses on the church policy of the Bolsheviks during the Civil War in relation to” national Orthodoxy”, namely, the removal of icons and the opening of relics. Methods and materials. The removal of icons was legally formalized by the Bolsheviks in August 1918 in the instructions for distributing the decree on the separation of the church from the state. Icons were hung in schools, hospitals, factories and factories, in public places, but now they were all removed. The removal of the icons caused a protest of part of the population and even uprisings on “religious grounds”. The autopsy of the relics officially took place at the beginning of 1919. Analysis. In total, there are more than 60 autopsies of the relics of saints. They led to a huge shock to a significant part of the population of the believing population, where it was believed that the relics of saints must necessarily be incorruptible. However, during the autopsies of the relics, which took place in the presence of representatives of the clergy, scattered rotten bones, cotton wool, wire frames resembling the outlines of a person were found in the shrines of the saints. Despite the secret order of Patriarch Tikhon to remove foreign objects from the tombs of the saints, it was already too late, and the Church was accused of deceiving the population in order to receive money from the numerous pilgrims who came to the relics. The Bolsheviks decided to take this action in the conditions of the Civil War in order to demonstrate the deception that, in their opinion, came from church leaders. Results. If the action to remove the icons was unsuccessful and stretched over time, the results of the autopsy of the relics were used for a long time in atheistic propaganda. If the action of the Bolsheviks to remove the icons was explained by the word tolerance, which was incomprehensible to the people, then the opening of the relics was a successful campaign, since it beat according to the idea of “national Orthodoxy” that the relics of saints should be incorruptible.

Introduction. The article examines the survival practices of the Mennonites during the Civil War (based on the materials of the European part of the Russian state). Methods and materials. The memoirs, letters and diaries of the Mennonites; analytical materials on the situation of the Mennonites, prepared by commissions of the RCP(b) were the source base of the study. The methodological basis of the research was formed by the principles of historicism and objectivity, as well as special-historical methods: historical-comparative, historicalgenetic. Analysis. Analysis of the behavior of various regional groups of Mennonites during the Civil War revealed different practices of their response to wartime conditions and the nationwide crisis caused by them: political neutrality, the organization of self-defense units, active support of opposing forces, internal migration, emigration, attempts to preserve the traditional economic structure, mutual assistance. The following regional factors were identified that influenced the position of the Mennonites during the War: the brutality and proximity of hostilities; the land policy of the Bolsheviks and the acuteness of the agrarian question; the level of ethnophobia towards German-speaking citizens; the scale of repressions, confiscations; activities of the occupying German-Austrian forces, white governments, Makhnovist bands. Results. The article shows that in the south of Ukraine, where the Mennonites found themselves in the epicenter of fierce battles between Whites, Reds and Makhnovists, emigration abroad began earlier than in other regions; self-defense detachments acted in an organized manner. Ukrainian Mennonites took an active part in the activities of the German-Austrian and White armies. In other regions, the activities of self-defense detachments were less significant, instead of mass emigration abroad, the Mennonites chose internal migration to quieter areas in 1918–1920. T.P. Nazarova analyzed regional material on the development of Mennonite groups, revealed the nature of their relationship with warring political forces. O.Yu. Redkina analyzed historiography, considered the problem of the activities of the Mennonite self-defense units.
“Only Bad With This Civil War”: Representation of the Events of 1917–1918 in Children’s Narratives
Authors:   Kuban State University, Rozhkov Alexander
Published: September 2022

Introduction. Our understanding of the life of children during the Civil War is largely based on two sets of published documents: the essays of immigrant children, written abroad in 1924–1925, and personal documents of the children of the Petrograd nutritional colony, who made forced trip around the world in 1918–1921, about whom the book by O.I. Molkina. Therefore, any new sources in this area are very valuable. The purpose of the article is to reconstruct the images of childhood during the period of civil confrontation through the interpretation of the collection of “children’s letters” written in 1917–1918. Methods. The study is based on methodological developments in the study of “children’s” texts created by A.A. Salnikova. Based on the objectives of the study, the analysis of 54 selected narratives of children and adolescents (1917–1918) was carried out within the methodological framework of interpretive approach based on “understanding” reading of “children’s letters” through an unformalized analysis of their texts. Analysis. As a result of the analysis of the texts of letters of children and adolescents, the main thematic topics of correspondence were revealed, which made it possible to structure the texts of children’s letters. The identified thematizations were grouped into nine blocks: “war”, “revolution”, “deprivation”, “children”, “adults”, “life”, “protest”, “study”, “feelings / emotions”. The scope and objectives of the article allow to focus only on the first three blocks. Unlike the essays written by children in exile, many of the authors of the letters we studied belonged to a completely different social environment – the families of the Russian intelligentsia, who positively perceived the revolution, sympathizing with the Bolsheviks or being in their ranks. Results. Analysis of “children’s letters” 1917–1918 showed that there is no single children’s discourse about the Civil War. At least two diametrically opposite children’s discourses – “emigrant” and “revolutionary”, are quite clearly observed. The second discourse was presented in this work.
