A Bamboo-Hybrid-Slat Laminate of Fishing Boat: Materials Selection, Scantling Calculation and Construction Cost
Authors: Supomo Heri , Djatmiko Eko Budi , Supomo Wikaranosa , Permana Rizki Dian
Published: March 2022

Abstract. Bambusa Arundinacea slat lamination has relatively high tensile and flexure strength, while Pterocarpus Indicus has relatively lower than. These two types of bio-materials are very cheap, easy to cultivate, fast growing, and renewable material. For this reason, hybrid slats lamination of Bambusa Arundinacea and Pterocarpus Indicus was chosen as a construction material for fishing boats to substitute solid Teak wood which is increasingly rare and expensive. Based on the results of the tensile and flexural strength tests show that the configuration of the hybrid laminated with the parallel slats has the highest tensile strength (114.636 MPa) and flexural strength (111.606 MPa). These two strength values are used to calculate the 20GT fishing boat scantling in accordance with the Indonesian Classification Bureau vol vii 2013 regulations. By using the hybrid lamination material of Bambusa Arundinacea - Pterocarpus Indicus slats, the scantling of 20GT fishing boat will be slightly smaller, the volume of material needed is 28.7% lower and the construction cost 40.66.% less than Teak wood material.

“A Clear Message?” Aesthetic Practices of Protest, On-Site and Online
Authors: Gralke Tobias
Published: March 2022

This paper explores how the performance and aesthetics of contemporary protest are shaped by social media networks and audiences from a theatre and cultural studies perspective. It analyzes the tactics used by protesters during and after on-site protests to disseminate their messages and to actively influence and control the interpretations of their protest that are distributed online by others. Based on observation of three European protest events in January and February of 2019 (in London, Budapest, and Dresden) this paper presents the characteristic tactics of protesters and the dynamic between on-site and online protests. It discusses the aesthetics of protest in the context of the ambiguousness of on-site protests, which is reinforced by social media.
Evolutionary dynamics of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 genomes
Authors: Qian Zhaohui , Li Pei , Tang Xiaolu , Lu Jian
Published: March 2022

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused immense losses in human lives and the global economy and posed significant challenges for global public health. As severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causative agent of COVID-19, has evolved, thousands of single nucleotide variants (SNVs) have been identified across the viral genome. The roles of individual SNVs in the zoonotic origin, evolution, and transmission of SARS-CoV-2 have become the focus of many studies. This review summarizes recent comparative genomic analyses of SARS-CoV-2 and related coronaviruses (SC2r-CoVs) found in non-human animals, including delineation of SARS-CoV-2 lineages based on characteristic SNVs. We also discuss the current understanding of receptor-binding domain (RBD) evolution and characteristic mutations in variants of concern (VOCs) of SARS-CoV-2, as well as possible co-evolution between RBD and its receptor, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). We propose that the interplay between SARS-CoV-2 and host RNA editing mechanisms might have partially resulted in the bias in nucleotide changes during SARS-CoV-2 evolution. Finally, we outline some current challenges, including difficulty in deciphering the complicated relationship between viral pathogenicity and infectivity of different variants, and monitoring transmission of SARS-CoV-2 between humans and animals as the pandemic progresses.
Integrating trauma-informed care into clinical practice with trafficked persons
Authors: Lanehurst Ashley , Gordon Mollie , Coverdale John , White C. Nicole , Nguyen Phuong
Published: March 2022

Trauma-informed care (TIC) as practiced within anti-human trafficking work is still in its early stages, and there is a significant need for specific guidelines concerning how to apply TIC principles along various phases of behavioral health care. Thus, the goals of this article are to (1) provide an overview of the framework of TIC; (2) identify and summarize the literature that specifically highlights the clinical application of TIC principles; and (3) contribute to the existing literature by providing some examples of integrating TIC principles into patient-clinician interactions with trafficked patients. The authors’ hope is that mental health providers will reference the provided script examples to help improve patient-provider interactions and to develop better rapport and trust between providers and trafficked persons.
The role of social determinants in caring for trafficked patients: A public health perspective on human trafficking
Authors: Robichaux Katherine , Torres Melissa I. M.
Published: March 2022

The convergence of multiple social determinants is thought to increase an individual's vulnerability to exploitation by forcing reliance on precarious opportunities and dependence on potentially harmful individuals and groups. Determining which individual, interpersonal, and systemic factors contribute to an individual's vulnerabilities can be key to preventing the person from experiencing human trafficking. In this article, the authors closely examine the social determinants of health to better understand how they can contribute to a person becoming trafficked. The authors also highlight an integrated public health care approach to addressing human trafficking based on understanding the impact of social determinants on vulnerable populations, establishing therapeutic relationships with patients who have experienced trafficking, and the use of interdisciplinary teams to address patient vulnerabilities. The authors contend that human trafficking is a violation of one's right to health and should be viewed as such when developing programs, rendering services, and treating this patient population.
Separate Functional Subnetworks of Excitatory Neurons Show Preference to Periodic and Random Sound Structures
Authors: Mehra Muneshwar , Mukesh Adarsh , Bandyopadhyay Sharba
Published: March 2022

Auditory cortex (ACX) neurons are sensitive to spectro-temporal sound patterns and violations in patterns induced by rare stimuli embedded within streams of sounds. We investigate the auditory cortical representation of repeated presentations of sequences of sounds with standard stimuli (common) with an embedded deviant (rare) stimulus in two conditions, Periodic (Fixed deviant position) or Random (Random deviant position). We used extracellular single-unit and two-photon Ca2+imaging recordings in layer 2/3 neurons of the mouse (Mus musculus) ACX of either sex. Population single-unit average responses increased over repetitions in the Random condition and were suppressed or did not change in the Periodic condition, showing general irregularity preference. A subset of neurons showed the opposite behavior, indicating regularity preference. Furthermore, pairwise noise correlations were higher in the Random condition than in the Periodic condition, suggesting a role of recurrent connections in the observed differential adaptation. Functional two-photon Ca2+imaging showed that excitatory (EX), and inhibitory (IN) neurons [parvalbumin-positive (PV) and somatostatin-positive (SOM)] also had different categories of long-term adaptation as observed with single-units. However, examination of functional connectivity between pairs of neurons of different categories showed that EX-PV connected pairs behaved opposite to the EX-EX and EX-SOM pairs, with more connections outside category in Random condition than Periodic condition. Finally, considering Regularity, Irregularity, and no preference of connected pairs of neurons showed that EX-EX and EX-SOM pairs were in largely separate functional subnetworks with different preferences, not EX-PV pairs. Thus, separate subnetworks underlie coding of periodic and random sound sequences.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTStudying how the auditory cortex (ACX) neurons respond to streams of sound sequences help us understand the importance of changes in dynamic acoustic noisy scenes around us. Humans and animals are sensitive to regularity and its violations in sound sequences. Psychophysical tasks in humans show that the auditory brain differentially responds to Periodic and Random structures, independent of the listener's attentional states. Here, we show that mouse ACX L2/3 neurons detect changes and respond differently to patterns over long-time scales. The differential functional connectivity profile obtained in response to two different sound contexts suggests the vital role of recurrent connections in the auditory cortical network. Furthermore, the excitatory-inhibitory neuronal interactions can contribute to detecting the changing sound patterns.
Biopolitical Nomos and “bare life” in Arundhati Roy’s novels
Authors:   Noakhali Science and Technology University, Bangladesh, Islam Khandakar Ashraful
Published: March 2022

Biopolitics—the maneuvers and stratagems employed to regulate, manage and govern people—is one of the most contested theoretical paradigms, which deals with the relation between state politics and human lives. While Foucault links the biopolitical nomos with the oppressive practices which render the human body docile, Giorgio Agamben sheds light on the new biopolitical nomos, which applying the most draconian means, subdue people within the law. According to Agamben, the arbitrary use of such sovereign power not only robs of the constitutional rights of the individuals but also denies their rights to live. Agamben observes that under the new biopolitical nomos each individual is exposed to the threat of being treated as a Homo Sacer, whose life can be taken with impunity. Focusing on Foucault’s concept of biopolitics and applying Agamben’s concepts like “state of exception” and Homo Sacer, the present paper investigates into Arundhati Roy’s The God of Small Things and The Ministry of Utmost Happiness to argue that in present-day India; the enactment of juridico-discursive power (communal riots, lynching, and violence to the lower caste) is not only denying the human rights of the minority groups but also exposing them to a “bare life.”
Disruptive strangeness or domesticated exoticism? Some challenges of cultural translation in the Polish rendition of Fury by Salman Rushdie
Authors:   Maria Curie-Sklodowska University, Poland, Stawecka-Kotuła Agnieszka
Published: March 2022

The unfolding hybridisation of cultures calls for a culture-oriented approach to translation that could respond to the needs and expectations of contemporary readership. The present paper is devoted to the concept of the cultural turn in translation studies and its practical implications on actual translations of contemporary literary works. To illustrate the complexities of translating cultural elements, the Polish translation of Fury reflecting the usual Rushdian blend of voices, plots, multi-cultural hybrid and culture references is used. The paper seeks to exemplify and discuss choices made by the translator striving to acquaint the target text reader with the complex universe of the novel to the similar extent as experienced by the source text reader. The principal strategy adopted by the Polish translator might be labelled as domesticated exoticism.
Mujer militar y política de defensa: reflexiones desde Ecuador y el Buen Vivir
Authors: Valdivieso Cristian Daniel
Published: March 2022

El presente trabajo busca analizar las manifestaciones, reproducciones y rupturas discursivas que experimentan las nociones de género a partir de las masculinidades militarizadas presentes en los documentos de defensa del Ecuador. El corpus de análisis está constituido por las políticas de defensa producidas entre 2002 y 2017, considerando el periodo presidencial de Rafael Correa (2007-2017). La Constitución de 2008, con la inclusión de la filosofía indígena del Buen Vivir (Sumak Kawsay), permitió la promoción de políticas públicas direccionadas a alcanzar la equidad de género y la interculturalidad. Las instituciones castrenses se han mostrado especialmente reticentes a los cambios producidos por dichas medidas, generando una militarización de las políticas de género. Es decir, el potencial de cambio que las caracteriza ha sido contenido por la supremacía del ethos militar masculino. El efecto de esa contención —en un país que se autodenomina plurinacional, que reconoce la presencia de diversos pueblos en su territorio— necesita ser analizado, puesto que impacta directamente con las propuestas de inclusión social. Se argumenta que la militarización de elementos como la equidad de género y la interseccionalidad del Buen Vivir, además de corroer el potencial transformador de inclusión social, permite reproducir nuevas formas de manifestación de las masculinidades militarizadas en los documentos de defensa, actualizando las dinámicas que responden a la dicotomía masculino/femenino en un sentido dialéctico y negativo. Para el análisis se emplea una perspectiva de género feminista aliada al análisis del discurso de vertiente francesa, visando examinar las manifestaciones discursivas de las masculinidades militarizadas en los documentos de defensa. A partir del análisis se crearon tres categorías ilustrativas de la presencia de la mujer en los documentos de defensa: ciudadana parcial, ciudadana autorizada, mujer militar. Las tres representaciones muestran, en un antes y un después de las políticas de género, que las mujeres continúan vivenciando rechazo en los espacios militares, ocupando el lugar de un otro. Se concluye que las masculinidades militarizadas han experimentado una metamorfosis discursiva, mostrando el blindaje resistente y sutil del ethos militar masculino. En términos de estructura, el trabajo posee tres secciones. En la primera, se despliegan los instrumentos conceptuales para comprender la relación entre género y masculinidades. Enseguida, se desarrolla una breve descripción de la metodología utilizada. Finalmente, se aplica el dispositivo de análisis a la localización de las manifestaciones de las masculinidades militarizadas en los documentos.
TEACHING AND PREACHING IN THE FIRST PRINTED SHORT NOVEL (‘POVEST’) BY NIKOLAI GOGOL (“BISAVRYUK, OR THE EVENING ON THE EVE OF IVAN KUPALA”, 1830)
Authors: Vinogradov Igor
Published: March 2022

One of the “key” works of Gogol's heritage is analyzed ― the first prose work that appeared in print, the short novel (‘povest’) “Bisavryuk, or The Evening on the Eve of Ivan Kupala” (1830). Gogol’s literary debut in prose is a key work in the sense that it opens the door to understanding the writer’s subsequent work. Based on numerous facts, it is established that since his very first steps in literature, Gogol played the role of a conscious spiritual mentor and preacher. His first prose work (Gogol began as the author of the poems “Italy” and “Gantz Kuchelgarten”) is a sort of literary ekphrasis, which is centered around the theme of spiritual discipline. The short novel (‘povest’) is “theology in images,” and the clergyman, a representative of the common man’s milieu, a rural deacon (church reader, psalm reader), on whose behalf the story is narrated, becomes the author’s alter ego. For the first time, an analytical comparison of two editions of “Evening on the Eve of Ivan Kupala” was undertaken: the original journal version on one side and the subsequent one included in the “Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka” collection (the first edition of the short novel (‘povest’) was called “Bisavryuk, or Evening on the Eve of Ivan Kupala”; in the second, Gogol dropped the beginning of the title, leaving only the second part, “Evening on the Eve of Ivan Kupala”). The comparison shows that the first edition is more frank in expressing the religious views of the author than the second one. In the second edition, Gogol tempered the excessive edification and categorical nature of the original version. It is emphasized that as early as in this short novel (‘povest’), Gogol separates himself from superstitions and “childish prejudices” inherent in popular consciousness and focuses his talent on exposing those phenomena that have survived in the public, folk life from the pagan era. As a faithful ethnographer, a deep connoisseur of folk psychology and folklore, in the first short novel (‘povest’), contrary to the widespread interpretations of his work in radical criticism, the writer already appears not only as an original writer of everyday life, but also an astute thinker and theologian, like his predecessor, St. Tikhon of Zadonsk. From the first “Little Russian” short novel (‘povest’) one can guess many features of the future creator of “Dead Souls”, “Selected Passages from Correspondence with Friends”, and “Reflections on the Divine Liturgy”.

Healthcare workers (HCW) in primary healthcare centres in the Republic of Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina, are on the first combat line with COVID-19. This study aimed to assess the seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 among HCW at the primary healthcare centres and to analyse the risk exposure to COVID-19, clinical signs and vaccination status. A cross-sectional study was conducted among HCW at the selected primary healthcare centres between 19 March and 30 April 2021. Antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 virus were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). A total of 1,023 HCW (mean age 45 years; 71% female) were included in the study. The anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies were detected in 69.5% of all participants. There was a significant difference in seropositivity among primary healthcare centres from different geographical regions. As many as 432 (42%) of all participants had confirmed COVID-19 symptoms before the study and, 84.8% of them were seropositive. This study showed that 702 primary HCW were vaccinated with any of these vaccines: Sputnik V, Sinopharm, Pfizer/Biontech. High titre of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies was found amongst those who received one (92.6%) or both (97.2%) doses of vaccines. In this study, we report high prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibody among HCW in primary healthcare in the Republic of Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina during the third pandemic wave.

Objective: We investigated the prevalence of asthma, rhinitis, and atopic dermatitis in children, evaluated the mite allergen levels in their bedding after the Great East Japan Earthquake, and assessed changes in allergic symptoms in children and their families after allergen avoidance practices.
Methods: We performed a survey for the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) comprising 1109 children, aged 7–8 years, living in Ishinomaki, Japan. We collected responses from 464 children, and in 2016, measured the level of Dermatophagoides group 1 (Der 1) in the bedding of 202 of these children. The intervention group of children attended at least one allergen avoidance seminar. The levels of Der 1 in their bedding were measured, along with changes in allergic symptoms, in 17 children in 2017 and 14 children in 2018. The nonintervention group comprised children who did not attend an allergen avoidance seminar at any time.
Results: Of the 464 children who participated in the ISAAC, 50 (10.8%) reported having asthma, 179 (38.8%) allergic rhinitis, and 126 (27.3%) atopic dermatitis. The average level of Der 1 measured in the bedding of the 202 children in 2016 was 295.8 ng/m2. The levels of Der 1 in the intervention group—but not in the nonintervention group—significantly decreased in 2017 and 2018. The symptoms of asthma, allergic rhinitis, and atopic dermatitis in the children of intervention group and their families decreased after allergen avoidance practices.
Conclusions: Allergen avoidance practices relieved allergic symptoms in school children after the Great East Japan Earthquake.

Published: March 2022

Airborne pollen is a major contributor to allergic respiratory diseases. However, the literature on patterns and seasonality of specific pollen types mainly comes from northern hemisphere and developed regions, limiting our ability to extrapolate these findings to other geographical locations. With this research letter, our aim is to contribute to the current knowledge of aerobiology by analyzing the decade-long patterns of airborne tree pollen in the city of Bahia Blanca, Argentina. In general, we found late winter to early spring as the period with the highest Cupressaceae pollen counts. In 2020, the average pollen count during July through September was 78.81 (SD 79.70), the highest recorded during the last 10 years. These months had varying pollen concentrations from moderate (15–89 grains/m3 of air) to high (90–1499 grains/m3 of air). Regardless of such variation, August had consistently been the month with the highest peak concentrations from 2010 to 2020 (61.2, SD 57.3), followed by September (27.1, SD 20.3). We did not find any month with very high (˃1500 grains/m3 of air) peak concentration. Further studies need to be done to expand our knowledge on aerobiology to characterize specific pollen sub-types and determine the exact allergenic potential of airborne pollen in different regions.
Koinon: Being-in-common, Heterology, Post-fundamentalism
Authors:   Ural Federal University, Kerimov Tapdyg K. , Pertsev Aleksandr V. ,   Ural Federal University
Published: March 2022

The problem of being-in-common remains a fundamental problem of philosophy, social sciences and humanities. The purpose of this article is to analyze the changes in the nature of this problem, the incentives and prospects for its formulation and solution in the late XX — early XXI centuries. Being-incommon is increasingly shifting to the focus of human existence, acquires a decisive existential significance, acts as public opinion, and as a political motivation, and as a paradigm for the social sciences and humanities. The article argues that full awareness of the role of philosophy in describing and explaining the forms of being-in-common presupposes the need for a radical reorientation of both traditional philosophical constructions and the methodology of social and humanitarian cognition. Three dimensions of this reorientation are highlighted. Firstly, this is the “new sociality”, the undecidability between “globalization” and “mondialization”, as well as the need to deconstruct the very possibility of accepting a global or phenomenal world. Secondly, it is ontoheterology, which outlines the ways of overcoming ontological fundamentalism, building an “ontology after ontotheology”. It exposes the understanding of being-in-common, the original sociality as groundless, anarchic, which arises as a direct correlate of the experience of groundlessness of existence, unrooted in any substance or common essence. Thirdly, this is postfundamentalism as a particular paradigm, style of thinking, postulating the transformation of the practices and techniques of thinking in response to the need to reposition the multiple real as immanent in thought itself. The article concludes that the three-dimensional “space” of comprehending being-in-common sets a certain direction of philosophical and socio-humanitarian research, hidden behind them general methodological tendencies, and the relationship of these tendencies with the nature of social practice.
Koinon: the Coexistence of Geniuses or Flight of Ideas in the Air?
Authors:   Ural Federal University, Pertsev Aleksandr V.
Published: March 2022

The article by A. V. Pertsev, professor of the Ural Federal University, on the example of Weimar’s life as a “German cultural capital” at the time of I. V. Goethe (1749–1832) discusses the specifics of the organization of informal intellectual communities that defined the existing forms of culture in Europe and Russia. The paper analyzes such a humanitarian koinon as a form of coexistence and cooperation of creative people, which emerged in a particular historical situation and is supported by “enlightened authorities”. The figure of the bearer of power as a “cultural manager” and his formation of “cultural centres” following his ideas of a worthy human life are as well under consideration. As the author of the article demonstrates, the state cultural policy is concealed in such a way that its central figure is the “enlightener on the throne” himself and the “leading personnel” he has chosen. This aristocratic cultural policy is opposed to a market-democratic one with a focus on ‘mass demand’.
Retrotopia: Post-memory and a “Reactionary Choice of the Past”
Authors:   Södertörn University, Sandomirskaya Irina I.
Published: March 2022

The article considers the relationship between memory and post-memory through the lens of translating the experience of generations. The author takes Z. Baumann’s term “retrotopia” as the basis of the research. As a new mode of referring to the past retrotopia he treats it as the phenomenon of reaction in socio-psychological and political meanings. The escape of the obsessive retrotopic past is visible in the ability to have a dialogue (Z. Baumann), and things that link to the experience of previous generations play here a vital role. The paper analyzes variants of things’ behavior in their inter-generation interaction: the mode of tactility in collecting things serves the setting “total recall” (M. Stepanova “To the memory of memory); interaction with other people’s things (the movie “Khrustalyov, the car”) when a live dialogue of generations is impossible. The refusal of things to converse is a symptom of guilt in losing the past. Retrotopia coordinates with another important concept — post-memory with the cult of accumulating and preserving heritage interpreted as the result of ideology and upbringing. The cult of legacy testifies to real anxiety of survival. Post-memory as a cult of heritage strives to reproduce historical experience in the effects of representation, and discourses of collective memory and traumas effectively suppress and replace real memory of the historical experience. Thus, it substantiates the transition from retrotopia to utopia, from heritage to oblivion. Retrotopia is a form of oblivion that forces one to delve into the past. It is not for the sake of the past, but to forget the impending terrible future. Present-day digital media create a new arrangement of memory based on the value of the concrete and the individual. History starts to converge with memory coinciding in the limit with infinitely changing fragments and connections that memory organizes not by the principle of cause-and-effect but by associations and similarities. This program has features of principally different ways of managing the heritage: retrotopia (the goal is to save and preserve), and utopia (to put the past to rest).
Belarus Foreign Policy: a Small State in Search for a Shelter
Authors:   Ural Federal University, Mukhametov Ruslan S.
Published: March 2022

The article explores the foreign policy of the Republic of Belarus. Belarus declared a multi-vector policy at the doctrinal level, and neutrality — at the constitutional level. The analysis of the foreign policy course confirms the dominance of the Eastern (Russian) vector. The author aims to explain this choice of official Minsk. In his search for the answer, the author makes use of the concept of a small state. To defend national security, a small state can use one of the options of strategy-balancing, banqueting, strategic hedging and neutrality policy. The author concludes that none of these practices can explain the dominance of the Russian direction in the foreign policy of Belarus. The article argues that these strategies are suitable for large or medium-sized powers, but not for small states like Belarus. The author refers to the theory of “refuge” (“shelter”), which was developed by Baldur Thorhallson, Alison Baileys, Sverrir Staynsson, etc. Much attention is paid to the main structural components of this theory (military-political, economic and social). Applying the theory of shelter to Belarus, the author consistently studies the role of Russia in solving the difficulties of Minsk caused by the small size of the state. Some political analysts argue that the CSTO provides and supports military sovereignty, and economic assistance to Belarus through the provision of loans that goes along the lines of the Eurasian Fund for stabilization and development, as well as on a bilateral basis. In conclusion, the author states that the prevalence of the Eastern vector in Minsk’s foreign policy is due to some difficulties that Russia, not Brussels or Washington, helps it overcome.
Trickster vs. Trickster: “Teachers” and “Students” in Ehrenburg, Olesha, Bulgakov and Babel Works
Authors:   University of Columbia, Lipovetsky Mark
Published: March 2022

The paper explores the fulfillment of the trickster trope in Soviet culture based on four works (The Heart of a Dog by M. Bulgakov, Envy by Yu. Olesha, Julio Jurenito by I. Ehrenburg and The Odessa Tales by I. Babel). The author defines the features of the Soviet trickster: the "integral" character, roguery are an illustration of its cynical philosophy, which is devoid of the pragmatism inherent in cynicism and tends to P. Sloterdijk’s estimation of cynicism — the selfless and shameless performative relegation and ragging of all reputable discourses and symbols. The author has also highlighted three features of the Soviet trickster as a character (Sharikov, Ivan Babichev, Julio Jurenito, Benya Crick): ambivalent, transgressive, and liminal states, thanks to which the trickster embodies dangerous freedom from social norms and boundaries and functions, at the same time, as a mediator; performativity, which turns any gesture and any utterance into a performance; a special bonds with the sacred. Notably, in the prose of the 1920s, the plot portraying the confrontation between fathers-children, students — teachers, puts forward the figure of the trickster as an essential component — as one of the central participants in the debate about a new man and a new world. There is evidence that all variations of the Soviet tricksters have a close linkage with the reception of Nietzscheanism. The analysis of each of the central characters of the works centers around the answer to the question: What does each of the trickster’s role say about the emerging Soviet modernity? The author interprets the two types of the trickster as evidence of the Soviet modernity’ splitting, that emerged in the 1920s. Julio Jurenito and Ivan Babichev represent the type of trickster teachers via whom the modernist concept of personality was adopted. The author offers the treatment of Sharikov and Benya Creek as a type of" plebeian modernity " (Ilya Gerasimov). All the analyzed texts indicate that trickster cynicism is becoming a social norm of the new world, and it is on this basis that the conflict between trickster fathers/teachers and their followers in the next generation breaks out.
Youth Civic Participation in Local Government
Authors:   Russian Academy of National Economy and Public Administration under the President of the Russian Federation — Ural Institute of Management, Nikitina Alyona S.
Published: March 2022

The pertinence of t topic stems from the growing importance of research into the formation and development of social institutions of civic participation of youth in local government. Based on the empirical data obtained, the study aims to analyze forms of civic participation of young people in socio-political processes at the municipal level. It also attempts to determine the factors that promote and hinder the active participation of young people in socio-political processes and to identify the main trends and forecasts of civic engagement of Russian youth in municipalities. The article presents an analysis of theoretical, regulatory and legal sources that empirically reveal the main factors that determine the expansion of the participation of Russian youth in the activities of municipalities. The paper describes the results of an empirical study conducted in October-December 2020 on the inclusion of young people in the management of processes in different municipalities. The data collection method is a questionnaire survey of young people aged 14-30 (n = 2026 people) living in the territory of the Russian Federation. In addition to quantitative research methods, qualitative ones were also used: in January 2021, the author conducted an expert interview with ten experts in youth policy and civic participation of Russian youth. Finally, the author formulates conclusions and recommendations aimed at strengthening the social institutions of civic participation of young people, increasing their civic engagement in municipalities. The results of the study allowed the author to conclude that currently there is the active participation of young people in socio-political processes in municipalities. In the opinion of most experts, soon, dominant positions will be occupied by political forms (including illegitimate ones); new forms of civic activity, such as performances, flash mobs, street events, and online activities, will become popular. There are trends in the development of digitalization of youth civic engagement. As for recommendations for enhancing civic participation in local self-government, the authors propose to develop an appropriate social and civic infrastructure, a legitimate and working legal field, create community centers and platforms for organizing an effective and mutual dialogue between local governments, youth, public organizations for productive dialogue in solving issues of participation in socio-political processes.
The Aesthetic of Our Times: A New Phenomenology
Authors:   Liberal Arts University — University for Humanities, Zaks Lev A. ,   Ural Federal University
Published: March 2022

The ‘aesthetic’ — an adjective that has become a noun- broadly expresses aesthetic reality whose general ‘units’ are specific value properties of objects = aesthetic values as phenomena of consciousness. The paper aims to fi x and analyze the state of today’s aesthetic reality compared to the known attributes of the classical aesthetic picture of the world. The author argues that the aesthetic has preserved its sensory foundation and universal (all-inclusive) for a sensual world character recognized in classical aesthetics. And today’s aesthetic implements this potential universalism of aesthetic origin more fully spreading to certain object spheres and phenomena. Until recently, they used to be non-aesthetic or even perceived as anti-aesthetic (proteism of today’s aesthetic). The paper further traces the growing differences of present-day esthetic from classical ideas of aesthetics and aesthetic tastes. Classical aesthetic consciousness thought of aesthetic reality discretely and reduced it to rigidly fixed, by objects and meaning, and normatively enshrined ‘fundamental’ values (beautiful, sublime, tragic and comic). The proteistic aesthetic of our times is increasingly manifesting itself as a continuum: continuity of aesthetic meanings smoothly transitioning into each other and encompassing (staining) the entire sensual world. Traditional (terminal) values acquire (thanks to novel contexts and substance) a new meaning. Sometimes, in their classical form, they are pushed to the periphery or even get eliminated (as is happening to the tragic in postmodernism). On the bright side, there emerge novel, different from traditional, aesthetic values/meanings that have not been particularized yet. The paper provides variants of these new and non-defined values brought to life both by aesthetics of new objects and by the new value stance of subjects. In particular, the author finds these novel values in artifacts of Boris Mikhailov, Pavel Otdel’nov and Gunther von Hagens.

The article aims to substantiate the concept of chronotopia of the city. It allows us to compare different urban types: the old town and industrial areas, the heritage of the past and new quarters. The author sees chronotopia as an essential diagnostic tool, a kind of imprint of different cultural and civilizational types. Professor K. Schlögel, a prominent German expert on Russian cities, describing the method of chronotopia, wrote: “We see space, we understand time”. This method has been tested in several studies of the author, as well as in the publications of graduate and doctoral students of the Philosophy and Cultural Studies Department of SamGMU. The author’s project “Space-time-diagnostics of the City” (Grant No. 14 03 00036 of the Russian Humanitarian Scientific Foundation), carried out by the author and his young colleagues. Thanks to the support of the Russian Foundation for Humanities in Science. Within its framework, a block of scientific articles was published, as well as collections and monographs, including “City and Time” (2012), “Time in the City” (2013), “City as Stage” (2015), “Chronotopia of the City” (2016). The tasks of the first two paragraphs of this article are to present domestic and foreign publications close to the author’s concept of chronotopia of the city or spatio-temporal diagnostics. The task of the third and final part of the article is a dialogue with the foundational work of the German cultural philosopher and historian, Professor Schlögel, “The Soviet Century” (2017). Professor Schlögel, drawing on N.P. Antsiferov, M.M. Bakhtin, and other renowned Russian cultural philosophists believe that the chronotope of the city is the most accurate tool for analyzing the entire Soviet civilization. The Soviet industrial city has read in “mini-chronotopes”: kommunalka, queue, barakholka, etc. According to the author of this article, the list of “Soviet chronotopes” is more diverse and contrasting. Besides other things, the “soviet chronotopes” included spaces, which M.M. Bakhtin called spaces of “impartiality”. The author of this article concludes that the choice of “tools” (chronotopes) to analyze the city is productive and far from exhausted.
System of Determination of Electoral Behaviour

The article considers electoral behaviour as one of the forms of participation of citizens in political life in connection with the need to choose specific authorities of different levels. The analysis of electoral behaviour was carried out within the framework of the system of determination of human activity. The author sees the determination system as a set of factors that constantly act on an individual or group and have the logic of their deployment in time and space. This approach to the study of electoral behaviour allows us to consider the relationship between external factors (economic, political, cultural, etcetera) and internal (goals, value orientations and attitudes implemented in electoral selection. The paper shows that the population behaviour during the election company is determined mainly by external factors since it is forced in nature and is formed mainly under the influence of manipulative technologies and is not the result of a motivated choice of applicants for legislative power. In addition, the executive power has significantly decreased interest in the active participation of citizens in elections at both local and federal levels in connection with the abolition of the turnout threshold, the “against all” column, as well as a combination of socio-economic factors. There is no need for voters to participate more actively in elections. What guides a significant part of voters is the necessity to come to the polling station and cast their vote for someone. At the same time, it is not necessary to have complete information about the programs of candidates, the experience of their work, the availability of knowledge necessary for qualified work on the adoption of laws that ensure an acceleration of the pace of resolving current problems of improving the material standard of living of the population, and the development of spiritual culture.
Effect of a two-tiered configuration on the seismic behaviour of reinforced soil walls

Published: March 2022

Shaking table tests were performed on reduced-scale models of integrated and two-tiered mechanically stabilised earth (MSE) walls to evaluate the effect of a tiered configuration on the seismic behaviour of metal-strip and geogrid reinforced soil walls. The results showed that, although inextensible reinforcements could reduce the fundamental period, acceleration amplification and lateral deflection and improve wall stability, these benefits declined with the use of a tiered configuration and gradually faded with an increase in the offset distance. This made changing the degree of extensibility a low-impact factor in two-tiered MSE walls with a sufficiently large offset distance (D > (0.4–0.5)H). In order to benefit from the advantage of a tiered configuration, it was found that 0.22H should be considered as the minimum offset distance. The findings indicated that preventing the development of a slip surface in the lower half of the wall, improving the seismic stability by increasing the failure threshold acceleration, mitigating acceleration amplification and decreasing the reinforcement load were the main advantages of a tiered configuration. Moreover, it was concluded that the Mononobe–Okabe method could be used to find the upper bound for estimating the reinforcement forces in two-tiered MSE walls.

NCBI submission protocol for SARS-CoV-2 wastewater data: SRA, BioSample, and BioProject v5
Authors: Timme Ruth , Balkey Maria
Published: March 2022

PURPOSE: This method was developed at the FDA’s Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition for GenomeTrakr’s pandemic response project, monitoring SARS-CoV-2 variants in wastewater; however, this protocol was written to be broadly applicable for all wastewater sequence data submissions to NCBI. Protocols developed for this project cover wastewater collection, concentration, RNA extraction, RT-qPCR, library prep, genome sequencing, quality control checks, and data submission to NCBI. This protocol covers the last step of making your data public at NCBI. Specifically, it provides the steps to establish a new NCBI submission environment for your laboratory, including the creation of new BioProject(s) and submission groups. Once these are step up, the protocol then walks through the process for submitting raw reads to SRA and sample metadata to BioSample through the Submission portal. For new submitters, there's quite a bit of groundwork that needs to be established before a laboratory can start its first data submission. We recommend that one person in the laboratory take a few days to get everything set up in advance of when you expect to do your first data submission. If you need a pipeline for frequent or large volume submissions, follow Step 1 in this protocol to get your NCBI submission environment established, then contact gb-admin@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov to set up an account for submitting through the API. Version updates: V2: minor edits to the BioSample and SRA templates V3: Many minor edits were made to make the protocol more broadly applicable to submitters outside of FDA's wastewater project. Updates were also made to both metadata templates, including a new attribute to the SRA metadata template, called "enrichment_kit". There are now three custom attributes we recommend populating to more specifically capture relevant methods for ww sequencing: enrichment approach, primer set, and library prep kit. V4: updates to BioSample and SRA templates: expanded picklists, addition of specimen processing attributes for including replicate info, and the removal of target_extract attribute for reporting level of target found in the sample. V5: includes guidance for submitting BioSamples with no linked sequence data.

A viagem do exército de Nabucodonosor em 'Judite' e a sua relevância na literatura judaica helenística
Authors: Passuello Victor
Published: March 2022

O Livro de Judite (134-76 A.E.C.), texto apócrifo do Antigo Testamento, escrito em grego koiné, tem atraído a atenção de pesquisadores do judaísmo antigo pelo protagonismo da heroína que dá nome ao livro. O livro possui dezesseis capítulos, porém a história de Judite se inicia somente a partir do oitavo capítulo. Essa peculiaridade suscitou debate entre os pesquisadores da obra, pois paira a dúvida sobre a relevância dos capítulos 1 a 7 para a história da heroína. Partindo desta constatação, analisaremos os primeiros capítulos do livro de Judite, que tratam da viagem do exército do rei Nabucodonosor e o propósito desta viagem, tentando identificar se essa parte da obra se enquadra como uma história global fictícia, objetivando críticas aos antigos impérios que dominaram os judeus.
