From the Time of Troubles to the Unity Day: Memory, Forgetting and Re-imaging the Past in Russian History
Authors: Tkachenko Victoria
Published: October 2021

This article examines how the memory of one of the largest sociopolitical crises in the history of Russia (called the Time of Troubles) modified over 400 years. This process is considered as an example of rethinking the traumatic experience of the past and forming a national-patriotic myth on its basis. Several stages of the evolution of the memory of the Time of Troubles are issued: the XVII century – when the interpretation of these events was mainly religious; the XVIII century – when heroic and patriotic ideas about the time of troubles were formed in accordance with the ideals of classicism; the XIX century – the time of the development of the monarchical myth of the Romanov dynasty coming to power; the XX century – when the peasant war and the struggle against foreign intervention became the main dominant in the understanding of events; Modern Russia and the annual celebration of the National Unity Day – a public holiday established in 2005 in memory of the liberation of Moscow in 1612, the main idea of which is the unification of all peoples on the territory of the Russian Federation. It is noted that for centuries in the cultural memory of Russian society, two layers of ideas about the Time of Troubles coexisted. One of them – negative – was the memory of social upheavals and civil war, the other – positive – the memory of victory and overcoming the Troubles, evoking a sense of national pride and hopes for the future.
The Prisoner of Gender: Panopticon, Persuasion, and Surveillance of Women in Kavita Kané’s Menaka’s Choice
Authors: Meenakshi Meenakshi , Kumar Nagendra
Published: October 2021

In the mythology-inspired novel Menaka’s Choice (2016), Kavita Kané discovers that the female body is continuously perceived both as an object of sexual desire and as an individual being by disrupting the conventional understanding of Apsara Menaka. Using Foucault’s concept of docile bodies and organic individuality the paper studies how power, in the form of ‘system’, imposes docility on women’s bodies. The paper weaves the potential for feminist thought as the novel rediscovers the recondite experiences that have been shrouded for centuries by giving central position to silent agents of Hindu mythology. Eventually, it attempts to analyse the act of seduction from the context of gender and how the individual tries to resist that disciplinary system.
Nostalgia for the Soviet Past in the Mass Historical Consciousness of Modern Russians
Authors: Kokoulin Vladislav
Published: October 2021

In modern Russia, there is a clear discrepancy between the official policy of historical memory and the mass historical consciousness. In the politics of official memory, Joseph Stalin is a tyrant, a dictator who killed millions of people. In the mass historical consciousness, he is a fighter against corruption and privileges, a caring owner of a huge country. While the mass historical consciousness considers the Victory in the Great Patriotic War as a significant event of the twentieth century, the policy of historical memory turns to the tragic sides of this war. Other examples can be given. At the divergence of the official policy of historical memory and mass historical consciousness, there are “wars of monuments” and “wars of memory”, as well as various manipulative strategies on the part of the authorities. So far, the official policy of historical memory fluctuates between these two formulas. The main reason for the discrepancy between the official policy of historical memory and the mass historical consciousness in modern Russia is that in Russian society, due to economic and political problems, nostalgia for the Soviet past, deemed a time of stability and certainty is growing.
“What Ghosts are Haunting us Today?” Slavoj Žižek’s The Relevance of the Communist Manifesto in Post-Pandemic Capitalist Realism. The Revolutionary Subject and Work
Authors: Neagu Vlad-Eugen
Published: October 2021

However controversial a topic, Marxist thought still remains the most complex tool for the critique of Capitalism. Derrida calls Marxism “hauntological”, always reappearing as a spectre of the past, always quasipresent, but also as a potential lost future. After the dismantling of the Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc, the relevance of The Communist Manifesto seemed to have slowly waned, in a world that adopted the tenets of Neoliberalism partly as a defense against authoritarian regimes, and partly as a mean to converge toward the countries at the forefront of the global system, that had already accrued a massive lead in economic and social development. The Covid-19 virus has shocked the world to its core, but it remains to be seen whether it has brought about a paradigm shift or it has merely accentuated some of the past problems, while also triggering a kind of forced nostalgia for the apparent normality of a system that was already ridden with issues. Mark Fisher points out that “it’s easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism” (Fisher 1), thus indicating the need for criticism and measures against a neoliberal monopoly on thought itself. As for Žižek’s The Relevance of the Communist Manifesto, it remains to be analyzed whether it can revive the interest in the original text, as to begin compounding a viable alternative for a postpandemic global system that does not yet seem to fully grasp that it is running out of time.
Products of Counterfactual Imagination:The Healing Life of Literature
Authors: Bulz Adriana-Carolina
Published: October 2021

My papers investigates two of the latter volumes by Romanian author Monica Pillat, Invitație la vis (An Invitation to Dream, 2014), and Croitorul de cărți (The Book Tailor, 2019), in which the literary experience elevates and transcends life itself, as a form of rewriting/healing the past and, maybe, of projecting one’s dreams into the future. It relies on criticism of two stories from the respective volumes, which investigates the sites of memory, such as the family mansion, which is the central piece around which the fantasy world woven by the author gravitates. Since Monica Pillat descends from a whole line of literary masters, her gift for writing is in fact a form of recuperating and also compensating for the family past, in which especially her father (Dinu Pillat) was very much afflicted by political persecution during Communist times. In my paper, I will dwell upon the less factual connection between life and literature – that of a mutual mirroring and influencing – in the attempt to prove that the experience of writing can make up for the losses encountered in reality. In this sense, being a literary author may offer one the chance of re-inventing one’s self (or imaginatively amending the life of your loved ones) and – for Monica Pillat – it certainly offers the greatest reward of all: a continual dwelling inside the family lineage, in the company of the kindred spirits that have guided and protected her since she was born.
Remembering and Memorializing German-Romanian Gulag Victims in the USSR through Historical Documents and Historical Fiction
Authors: Holden Anca
Published: October 2021

This paper examines the memory of the Romanian-German victims of the Soviet Gulag as recorded in recent collections of testimonies and interviews, a museum exhibition, an audio-visual documentary project, and Herta Müller’s 2009 novel Atemschaukel. It employs Alexander Etkind’s notions of “soft memory” and “hard memory” to discuss some of the key historical and political events that have impeded the establishing of consensual remembrance policies of the Soviet Gulag in communist Romania. I show how both German and Romanian communities since 1990 have memorialized the Gulag and discuss Atemschaukel as a legitimate impulse to document both personal and collective trauma of the second and subsequent generations. I argue that in the absence of a crystallized, hard memory, the historical documents and the historical fiction analyzed serve as viable examples of soft memory that succeed in memorializing the forced labor camps experience in its collective and individual forms.
Counter-narrating: Re-constructing “Sita” in Amish's Sita: Warrior of Mithila
Authors: Das Shruti
Published: October 2021

Counter-narration re-casts existing narratives and foregrounds the marginalised by giving them agency and performativity. They are narratives that challenge and provide resistance against dominant and hegemonic grand narratives which have been instrumental in formulating a social ideology over a long period of time making them normative. The Ramayana, an ancient epic is a multi-layered story of Prince Rama and Princess Sita and their role in the politics of power, state and patriarchy. It is a grand or master narrative that presupposes the passivity of the female as normative. It portrays Sita, King Rama’s wife, as someone who experiences marginalization and oppression and is a victim of the dominant narrative of patriarchy. This paper will use the theory of counternarrative and analyse Amish Tripathi’s novel Sita: Warrior of Mithila (2017) in order to show how he has recast Sita deconstructing the myth of passivity. Here, Sita resists prescriptive norms of the dominant narrative, wherein she has been projected as the silent receptor and problematizes the patriarchal ideology propagated through the master narrative. This paper will show how counter storytelling or counter narrating by Amish Tripathi has challenged and defied the narrative silence and hegemony in The Ramayana, while making the female powerful and capable in education, warfare and state governance.
Hospitalitas Kristen dan Pelayanan Ibadah dalam Jemaat ditengah Pandemi Covid-19
Authors: Matandung Shintya
Published: October 2021

Abstract :The Covid-19 pandemic that has hit the Global World is forcing humans to carry out several activities that are usually done conventionally, turning towards digital. There is a government policy that promotes social distancing / physical distancing, reducing crowds to minimize the development of Covid-19. The Indonesian people accepted the recommendation but there were several reactions such as panic buying, persecution of health workers who were assumed to be exposed to Covid-19, and other cases that showed the loss of hospitality for Indonesian citizens. Hospitality itself is a value that has been attached to Christianity, where hospitality, mutual acceptance and love for each other are important points that must be maintained in the life of Christians, especially in elevating service as a big responsibility that must be carried out in situations that are completely impossible such as Now because of the Covid-19 pandemic.Keywords: Hospitality, Service, Christian, Covid-19.
Enrichment at Vapour–liquid Interfaces of Mixtures: Establishing a Link between Nanoscopic and Macroscopic Properties
Authors: Stephan Simon , Hasse Hans
Published: October 2021

Component density profiles at vapour–liquid interfaces of mixtures can exhibit a non-monotonic behaviour with a maximum that can be many times larger than the densities in the bulk phases. This is called enrichment and is usually only observed for low-boiling components. The enrichment is a nanoscopic property which can presently not be measured experimentally – in contrast to the classical Gibbs adsorption. The available information on the enrichment stems from molecular simulations, density gradient theory, or density functional theory. The enrichment is highly interesting as it is suspected to influence the mass transfer across interfaces. In the present work, we review the literature data and the existing knowledge on this phenomenon and propose an empirical model to establish a link between the nanoscopic enrichment and macroscopic properties – namely vapour–liquid equilibrium data. The model parameters were determined from a fit to a dataset on the enrichment in about 100 binary Lennard-Jones model mixtures that exhibit different types of phase behaviour, which has recently become available. The model is then tested on the entire set of enrichment data that is available in the literature, which includes also mixtures containing non-spherical, polar, and H-bonding components. The model predicts the enrichment data from the literature (2,000 data points) with an AAD of about 16%, which is below the uncertainty of the enrichment data. This establishes a direct link between measurable macroscopic properties and the nanoscopic enrichment and enables predictions of the enrichment at vapour–liquid interfaces from macroscopic data alone.
Review and Comparison of Equations of State for the Lennard-Jones Fluid
Authors: Stephan Simon , Staubach Jens , Hasse Hans
Published: October 2021

The Lennard-Jones (LJ) potential is widely used for describing simple fluids; it is also a point of departure for developing models of complex fluids. Thermodynamic properties of the LJ fluid have been studied by molecular simulations by many authors and a critical review of the available data, which comprises about 35,000 data points, has been published recently [J. Chem. Inf. Mod. 59 (2019) 4248–4265]. The importance of the LJ fluid has also triggered the development of a large number of equations of state (EOS). In the present work, 20 LJ EOS were critically assessed by comparing their results with consolidated data from computer experiments. A large variety of thermophysical properties was considered: vapor pressure; saturated densities; enthalpy of vaporization; critical properties; thermal, caloric, and entropic properties at homogeneous state points; and second and third virial coefficients. It was found that none of the available LJ EOS meets the following two criteria: (1) it does not yield unphysical artifacts when used for extrapolations, and (2) it describes data from computer experiments within their statistical uncertainty in most fluid regions. Furthermore, a re-parameterization of the monomer term of the PC-SAFT EOS was carried out by fitting it to data of the LJ fluid. The new LJ EOS yields good results for the LJ fluid, but does not outperform the best existing LJ EOS.

Published: October 2021

Due to globalization and the impact of industrialization and urbanization, natural resources are wasted, and popular consumption leads to environmental waste. The problem of waste that deteriorates individual and social life is a prominent current issue. Recycling, described as the remanufacturing, production and employment of collected material, is an important solution to that problem. The present study aimed to determine the awareness of pre-service social studies teachers about the concept of environmental waste recycling and to analyze acrostic poems written by the participants. The study findings included the views of the pre-service social studies teachers. A semi-structured interview form was developed by the authors under expert supervision and employed to collect the views of the pre-service teachers. The pre-service teachers included in the study sample were assigned with simple random sampling technique and the study group included 162 pre-service social studies teachers. The descriptive survey model was employed in the study, the data were analyzed with content and descriptive analysis techniques to determine thematic codes. Furthermore, an acrostic poem authoring activity on the concept of recycling was conducted with the participants. The poems authored by the participants are presented as a category in a table in the findings section. The study findings revealed significant results on the recycling concept and processes. It was determined that the views of the participating pre-service social studies teachers reflected a high level of awareness on the concept of recycling and exhibited various perspectives on the implementation.

Published: October 2021

Argumentation in writing research articles is very crucial for showing the position of authors in a certain science field, but the social and humanity authors are still lower in skill for argumentation. This research investigated the using and impact of the Genre Based Approach (GBA) in training and mentoring of Research Article writing in improving the skill of argumentation in writing RA. The aim of this study is to describe the activity of learning and teaching by using GBA in training and mentoring of writing RA for social and humanity authors and the impact of this training and mentoring on the skill of argumentation in RAs writing. The material and steps of learning and teaching activity are adapted and modified from Widodo (2006) who stated that the rule of GBA is to prepare, focus, task, evaluate and elaborate. Moreover, Ferris & Hedgcock (2005) also explained that GBA is started from joint construction and independent construction stages when students start to write. The instruments of this research were direct observation and RAs draft analysis. Direct observing is also conducted to record every side of GBA design for teaching writing articles. To find the effect of GBA in training and mentoring to improve argumentative skills, the content analysis to the draft of RAs is conducted. The Result shows that the first the activity of training and mentoring writing RAs by using GBA to improve argumentation skills can be described from prepare, focus, task, evaluate and elaborate. The second finding shows that the participants have competence in writing argumentative for each section of RAS. Thus, it can be concluded that GBA in training and mentoring to write RAs is effective to improve argumentative skills in writing class especially writing RAs class.
Hybridizing Physical and Data-driven Prediction Methods for Physicochemical Properties
Authors: Jirasek Fabian , Bamler Robert , Mandt Stephan
Published: October 2021

We present a generic way to hybridize physical and data-driven methods for predicting physicochemical properties. The approach ‘distills’ the physical method's predictions into a prior model and combines it with sparse experimental data using Bayesian inference. We apply the new approach to predict activity coefficients at infinite dilution and obtain significant improvements compared to the physical and data-driven baselines and established ensemble methods from the machine learning literature.
Internet use and cognitive engagement in older adulthood
Authors: Schwaba Ted , Bleidorn Wiebke
Published: October 2021

Internet use is increasingly ubiquitous among older adults and may buffer against declines in cognitive engagement. We examined longitudinal associations between three types of internet use (media, social, and instrumental) and two indicators of cognitive engagement (Openness to Experience and Need for Cognition) in a nationally representative sample of Dutch older adults (N=2,922 aged 65+) assessed annually from 2008-2017. Pre-registered analyses indicated that older adults who were more cognitively engaged used the internet more frequently, especially for instrumental purposes like search and email. Those who increased in their use of online media declined less in Need for Cognition than their peers. These associations remained constant over time even as internet use became more common. We benchmarked our findings against null associations between cognitive engagement and TV/radio use and tested associations in younger comparison samples. Findings bolster our understanding of the role that technology use plays in personality development and aging.

Published: October 2021

During the Spring 2020 semester, K-12 teachers throughout many parts of the world adapted from face-to-face to online teaching. To better understand these experiences, seven advanced placement (AP) Statistics high school teachers were interviewed following a semi-structured protocol. A collaborative and consensus-driven analysis of transcripts revealed 12 distinct themes. The three most extensively discussed themes appeared to be assessment (19.11%), communication methods (12.23%), and use of online instructional approaches (11.90%). Teachers from schools that did not provide devices to students (i.e., not “one-to-one”) tended to report concerns around digital access more frequently (6.87%) and tended to express a more negative sentiment (Sentiment Mean=–.09) than teachers at schools that provided devices (5.69%; Sentiment Mean=1.35, p<.01). These findings highlight issues facing teachers during the transition to remote and online instruction and suggest a need for supporting teachers in developing familiarity with online and remote assessment resources and strategies.
Applications of Multiparameter Eigenvalue Problems
Authors: Bora Niranjan
Published: October 2021

It was mainly due to Atkinson works, who introduced Linear Multiparameter Eigenvalue problems (LMEPs), based on determinantal operators on the Tensor Product Space. Later, in the area of Multiparameter eigenvalue problems has received attention from the Mathematicians in the recent years also, who pointed out that there exist a variety of mixed eigenvalue problems with several parameters in different scientific domains. This article aims to bring into a light variety of scientific problems that appear naturally as LMEPs. Of course, with all certainty, the list of collection of applications presented here are far from complete, and there are bound to be many more applications of which we are currently unaware. The paper may provide a review on applications of Multiparameter eigenvalue problems in different scientific domains and future possible applicatios both in theoretical and applied disciplines.
Are Neighbors and Neighborhoods Still Important? Examining the Impact of Neighbors and Neighborhood Environments on Mothers’ Parenting Stress
Authors: Lee Soyoung , Chin Meejung , Sung Miai
Published: October 2021

The contemporary neighborhood literature discusses the complex relationships among neighborhood environments, social support, and parenting. Grounded in the Person-Process-Context-Time (PPCT) model, we examined how different sources of social support interact with Korean mothers’ perception of disorder in their neighborhoods, and if social support increases or decreases their parenting stress in rural and metropolitan areas. Using STATA 14.0, we conducted multiple regression modeling including tests for interaction effects. Our sample (from the 8th Wave PSKC) included 1,300 mothers of seven-year-old children who were transitioning to first grade. The results showed that for metropolitan mothers, support from neighbors was important. Interestingly, receiving social support from friends/colleagues could increase or reduce their parenting stress depending on the type of residential neighborhood. Both rural and metropolitan mothers who reported negative impressions of their neighborhood environment experienced more parenting stress. However, these relationships disappeared when controlling for the interactions between mothers’ perception of disorder in their neighborhood and social support. These findings suggest that the social support that mothers receive from neighbors, and friends/colleagues, in general, play an important role in relieving parenting stress when raising first graders. However, living in disorganized, unsafe, or stressful neighborhood environments may restrict mothers’ parenting choices due to anxiety and limited outdoor space, resulting in increased parenting stress. Therefore, careful consideration of neighborhood characteristics is required to develop community-based parenting support services as part of family-friendly policies to effectively reduce the burden of parenting school-aged children in Korea.
Toward an Invitational Andragogy: Articulating a Teaching Philosophy for the Andragogic Classroom
Authors: Tipton Whitney , Wideman Stephanie
Published: October 2021

Students older than 25 years are a growing population on our campuses. However, separating these students and labeling them as “nontraditional” further isolates them from campuses that are already geared toward younger learners. This reflective essay explains the need for a philosophy of invitational andragogy—a classroom approach rooted in invitational rhetoric (S. Foss & Griffin, 1995) and Knowles’s assumptions about older learners (1980, 1984). While inviting transformation is important in all classrooms, it is especially important for older learners who often feel separated from the campus at large. To explain how an invitational approach to the andragogic classroom can be achieved, we identify opportunities to apply the strategic prongs of invitational rhetoric: (a) offering perspectives and (b) creating external conditions that promote safety, value, and freedom.
Psoriatic Arthritis: Pathogenetic Justification of Current Therapeutic Approaches
Authors:   V.A. Nasonova Scientific and Research Institute of Rheumatology, Korotaeva T.V. ,   Moscow, Russian Federation
Published: October 2021

Objective of the Review: To analyse and summarise information on the pathogenesis of psoriatic arthritis (PsA); to discuss therapeutic targets, actual and long-term drug therapy strategies for this disease. Key Points. PsA pathogenesis is still a matter of argument; some of its mechanisms are still studied poorly. It is assumed that, in patients with genetic predisposition, the disease is triggered by the environmental factors, dysbiosis, infections, stress, that can cause and maintain aberrant activation of the innate and adaptive immune system. We found out that increased expression of such cytokines as IL-6, TNF-α and IL-17A causes synovitis; activates neoangiogenesis, bone resorption and erosion; leads to destruction and inflammation of cartilage as a result of induction of several molecular paths in synovial fibroblasts and macrophages, endothelial cells, osteoblasts, osteoclasts, cartilage cells, and immune cells. Taking into account available information on pathogenic mechanisms of PsA and psoriasis, we have developed several drugs targeting cells, cytokines or other mediators, playing a central role in the pathogenesis of the disease. Conclusion. Currently, treatment of psoriasis and PsA involves the use of traditional basic synthetic anti-inflammatory medicines, genetically engineered biological agents, and target oral synthetic medications, particularly phosphodeisterase-4 inhibitors and Janus kinase inhibitors, a majority of which can treat the entire range of skin and bone manifestations of the disease. Taking into account the varying PsA phenotype, comorbidities and a wide range of medicinal products that can be used by medical professionals, a majority of authors are of the opinion that it is necessary to improve the algorithms of individual approaches to the management of each patient. Keywords: psoriatic arthritis; immunopathogenesis; genetically engineered biological agents.

Authors: Hassanain Elsayed Yasser Mohammed
Published: October 2021

Rationale: Left bundle branch block is a diagnostic utility for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction equivalent. Consequently, administration of thrombolytic is a pivotal step. Emergent Sgarbosa criteria and their modification are considered helpful guide keys. Wavy triple an electrocardiographic sign (Yasser Sign) is a novel diagnostic sign in hypocalcemia. Interestingly, the presentation of COVID-19 pneumonia with an intertwining left bundle branch block, renal impairment, and hypocalcemia has a risk impact on both morbidity and mortality of COVID-19 patients. Patient concerns: An elderly carpenter male COVID-19 patient was admitted to intensive care unit with COVID-19 pneumonia with interlacing left bundle branch block, renal impairment, and Wavy triple sign (Yasser’s sign). Diagnosis: Left bundle branch block and Wavy triple sign (Yasser’s sign) intertwining COVID-19 pneumonia with renal impairment. Interventions: Arterial blood gases, chest CT scan, electrocardiography, oxygenation, and echocardiography. Outcomes: Gradual dramatic clinical, electrocardiographic, and radiological improvement had happened. Lessons: The triage of the left bundle branch block with the COVID-19 patient is highly significant for both diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction and giving thrombolytic. The combination of left bundle branch block, renal impairment, and hypocalcemia COVID-19 pneumonia signifies the risk in the current case study.
POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC CONTENT OF THE THEORY OF INTERNATIONAL TRADE
Authors: Volodymyr ONYSHCHENKO
Published: October 2021

Background. Dynamic changes in international economic relations and trade for thorough analysis and forecasting require an adequate paradigm of international trade theory, which would take into account not only economic and political factors of its development, but also the diverse civilizational context of the world community, which determines mental, social and cultural features of the development of a country. Problem research state. Problems of political economy in international trade to some extent affect the research of P. Krugman, M. Obstfeld, J. Frieden, E. Helpman, P. S. Afontsev, A. Mazaraki, T. Melnyk, V. Panchenko, N. Reznikova and others. But the structure of its methodological discourse and the subject of its research remain unclear. The aim of the articleis to clarify the political and economic discourse of the theory of international trade. Materials and methods. The materials of the research were the works of domestic and foreign specialists. In the process of preparing the article, general scientific research methods were used: historical, logical analysis, synthesis and abstraction. Results. Political economy is a normative manifestation of economic theory, which is formed under the influence of socio-economic and political concepts, the formed goals of social development. The subject of political economy of international trade – economic and socio-political relations that determine and accompany international trade and determine the goals and content of trade policy of its subjects. It is proposed to expand the mechanism of formation of relative advantages and trade policy of the country by including factors that determine not only its economic potential and specialization, but also the risks that may be caused by political decisions. It is argued that the problem of «protectionism vs liberalism» in international trade at the state level will always exist. It turns out that the problem of justice in international economic relations and trade is determined by the civilizational content of the development of countries, in which human capital plays a crucial role. Conclusion. The paradigm of political economy in international trade should be based on an expanded interpretation of relative benefits by assessing the impact of economic, social and political institutionson them, the peculiarities of national trade policies.

The aim of the article is to determine the role of professional organizations in the field of accounting and auditing in Europe, the characteristics of the tasks and results of their activities, the importance of Ukraine's membership in European professional organizations. Materials and methods. During the study, the methodological basis of general and special methods of cognition: grouping, comparison, abstraction, generalization, analysis, synthesis, induction, system approach is used. Results. Professional organizations in Europe assist member states in their efforts to implement international standards, codes of ethics and best practices to harmonize and improve the reporting of enterprises, improve financial stability, promote international and domestic investment, and social and economic progress. This is achieved through the exchange of experiences, proposals and best practices, the formation of a common vision in the development of guidelines, standards and assistance and support in matters relating to accounting, financial reporting, auditing, consulting services. A significant role is played by Accountancy Europe, which lobbies the professionalinterests of accountants at European level in order to better harmonize accounting practices in Europe. Conclusion. The main role of professional organizations in the field of accounting and auditing is to protect the public interest, improve the efficiency, effectiveness, transparency and accountability of business, increase the relevance, reputation and value of the accounting profession, dissemination of best practices. International investors with global investment need quality, transparent, reliable and comparable information on companies 'activities on climate and other environmental, social and management issues, confidence in the conclusions and confidence in the reliability of the auditors' opinions. That is why the role of professional organizations in the field of accounting and auditing is relevant today and will grow in the future for Ukraine, Europe and the world.
The “Imagined Other”
Authors: Nair Deepa
Published: October 2021

In 2014, the National Democratic Alliance, led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), won the general election with the highest number of seats won by any party since 1984 and went on to win a second term victory in 2019. Since the rise of the BJP, Hindu nationalist interventions into education have increased. Their agenda has been to “indigenise, nationalise and spiritualise” education in India. To this end, textbooks were written to promote a Hindu majoritarian idea of India that sees Hindus as the primary citizens of India and categorizes Muslims as the “other”. This article outlines the political context in which Hindu nationalists have recently attempted to rewrite Indian history by focusing on the period of Muslim rule in India. It looks at textbooks published by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) and media reports about regional history rewriting in India.

The paper presents research results of natural hardening of lightweight concrete with aluminosilicate ash generated by the Thermal Power Plant in Seversk (Tomsk, Russia). Today, it is necessary to develop effective building materials with improved operational properties by using local natural and technogenic raw materials. The acceleration of the structure formation and required plasticity for a transportation and molding of lightweight concrete products are achieved by using finely dispersed aluminosilicate minerals and plasticizers for natural hardening of lightweight concrete. The concrete mixture and lightweight concrete are studied in the TSUAB laboratory accredited in accordance with national standard requirements. The optimum content of hydraulic ash in lightweight concrete mixture is 10–15 wt.%. the compressive strength lightweight concrete with D400 density increases by 26−66 % after 28-day curing, when adding the Relamix T-2 plasticizer and ash from the Thermal Power Plant. Its water absorption reduces by 30 wt.% with insignificant decrease in thermal conductivity. Technological solutions are developed for the production of lightweight concrete with ash ash and slag materials for wall structures in individual housing construction.
Constructions with negative elements ni kapli and ni razu in Russian
Authors: Baranova Vlada
Published: October 2021

There are many negative polarity items in Russian reinforcing the sentential negation. It may be negative pronouns with affix ni- (ničego, ničut’, nikogo) and quantifiers grammaticalized from smallsize nouns. The paper deals with the new way to express emphatic negation and the process of reinforcement of negation due to including new markers of double negation in Russian. It analyzes the network of constructions with expressions ni kapli and ni razu based on the data from two corpora (General Internet-Corpus of Russian and Russian National Corpus). The paper describes the grammaticalization of the word kaplja ‘drop’ as a part of counting construction. The construction ni razu ne VP combines with a past tense form of a verb and expresses the negation of the experiential meaning. The new construction ni razu / ni kapli ne N arises in non-verbal sentences and expresses emphatic negation of affiliation to a category.
Virtuelle Kommunikationsräume als Ausgangspunkt für Interessenartikulation in der Onlineplattformarbeit

Im Kontext geografisch verteilter Arbeit wird digital verlagerte Arbeit auf Onlineplattformen intensiv diskutiert. Diese virtuelle Arbeitsform fordert dabei die Interessenartikulation der Arbeitskräfte in mehrfacher Hinsicht heraus: die geografische Verteilung und die fehlende betriebliche Einbettung führen zum Verlust gemeinsamer Erfahrungs- und Gesprächszusammenhänge. Der Beitrag beleuchtet das Verhältnis zwischen virtuellen Kommunikationsräumen und Praktiken der Interessenartikulation in der Onlineplattformarbeit, unter Abgrenzung ortsbasierter Formen von Plattformarbeit. Zudem zeigt sich, dass die unterschiedliche Arbeitsorganisation in hochstandardisierter Onlineplattformarbeit (Microwork) bzw. bei komplexeren Tätigkeiten (Online-Freelancing) unterschiedliche Formen der Interessenartikulation bedarf. Es wird deutlich, dass virtuelle Kommunikationsräume einen wichtigen Ansatzpunkt für die Interessenartikulation in der Onlineplattform bieten. Solche Praktiken des Miteinanders zwischen Arbeitskräften in der Onlineplattformarbeit sind schon jetzt mit Formen der Interessenartikulation verknüpft.

BACKGROUND:

Intravesical administration of interleukin 12 (IL-12) co-formulated with the biopolymer, chitosan (CS/IL-12), has demonstrated remarkable antitumor activity against preclinical models of bladder cancer. However, given historical concerns regarding severe toxicities associated with systemic IL-12 administration in clinical trials, it is important to evaluate the safety of intravesical CS/IL-12 prior to clinical translation.

OBJECTIVE:

To evaluate the pharmacokinetics as well as the local and systemic toxicities of intravesical CS/IL-12 immunotherapy in laboratory mice.

METHODS:

Local inflammatory responses in mouse bladders treated with intravesical IL-12 or CS/IL-12 were assessed via histopathology. Serum cytokine levels following intravesical and subcutaneous (s.c.) administrations of IL-12 or CS/IL-12 in laboratory mice were compared. Systemic toxicities were evaluated via body weight and liver enzyme levels.

RESULTS:

Intravesical IL-12 and CS/IL-12 treatments did not induce significant local or systemic toxicity. IL-12 dissemination and exposure from intravesical administration was significantly lower compared to s.c. injections. Weekly intravesical CS/IL-12 treatments were well-tolerated and did not result in blunted immune responses.

CONCLUSIONS:

Intravesical CS/IL-12 is safe and well-tolerated in mice. In particular, the lack of cystitis and acute inflammation justifies continued investigation of intravesical CS/IL-12 immunotherapy in larger animals and patients with bladder cancer.

Background: Machine learning is a promising tool for biomarker-based diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Performing multimodal feature selection and studying the interaction between biological and clinical AD can help to improve the performance of the diagnosis models. Objective: This study aims to formulate a feature ranking metric based on the mutual information index to assess the relevance and redundancy of regional biomarkers and improve the AD classification accuracy. Methods: From the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI), 722 participants with three modalities, including florbetapir-PET, flortaucipir-PET, and MRI, were studied. The multivariate mutual information metric was utilized to capture the redundancy and complementarity of the predictors and develop a feature ranking approach. This was followed by evaluating the capability of single-modal and multimodal biomarkers in predicting the cognitive stage. Results: Although amyloid-β deposition is an earlier event in the disease trajectory, tau PET with feature selection yielded a higher early-stage classification F1-score (65.4%) compared to amyloid-β PET (63.3%) and MRI (63.2%). The SVC multimodal scenario with feature selection improved the F1-score to 70.0% and 71.8% for the early and late-stage, respectively. When age and risk factors were included, the scores improved by 2 to 4%. The Amyloid-Tau-Neurodegeneration [AT(N)] framework helped to interpret the classification results for different biomarker categories. Conclusion: The results underscore the utility of a novel feature selection approach to reduce the dimensionality of multimodal datasets and enhance model performance. The AT(N) biomarker framework can help to explore the misclassified cases by revealing the relationship between neuropathological biomarkers and cognition.
