Prevalence of overweight and obesity among the urban adolescent English Medium School girls of Kolkata, India
Authors: Mandal (Nandi) Arpita , Mandal Gopal Chandra
Published: June 2024

Background: the prevalence of child obesity is increasing rapidly worldwide. In developing countries such as India, especially in urban populations, childhood obesity is emerging as a major health problem. In view of these contexts, the present study was undertaken to estimate the prevalence of overweight and obesity in an urban population of girl adolescent students attending the English Medium School in Kolkata, India.
Methods: a total of 571 girl students, aged 12-18 years, were evaluated. Cole et al. (2000) recommended cut-off points were utilized to assess overweight and obesity.
Results: the overall prevalence rates of overweight and obesity were 28.5% and 4.2% respectively. The rate of overweight was the highest when compared with that of different parts of India, including Kolkata, and also when compared to rates from the USA and Great Britain.
Conclusions: in the context of the present study, it can be presumed that, the higher prevalence of overweight in these school children may be due to their eating habits, as well as to their lack of awareness on proper eating habits. In addition, low involvement in physical activities may also have influenced the rate of overweight and obesity. Thus, it can be concluded that the study definitely highlighted the existence of an obesity threat, which is likely to persist among Bengalee school children of wealthier families.
Bayesian probabilistic sensitivity analysis of Markov models for natural history of a disease: an application for cervical cancer
Authors: Carreras Giulia , Baccini Michela , Accetta Gabriele , Biggeri Annibale
Published: June 2024

Background: parameter uncertainty in the Markov model’s description of a disease course was addressed. Probabilistic sensitivity analysis (PSA) is now considered the only tool that properly permits parameter uncertainty’s examination. This consists in sampling values from the parameter’s probability distributions.
Methods: Markov models fitted with microsimulation were considered and methods for carrying out a PSA on transition probabilities were studied. Two Bayesian solutions were developed: for each row of the modeled transition matrix the prior distribution was assumed as a product of Beta or a Dirichlet. The two solutions differ in the source of information: several different sources for each transition in the Beta approach and a single source for each transition from a given health state in the Dirichlet. The two methods were applied to a simple cervical cancer’s model.
Results : differences between posterior estimates from the two methods were negligible. Results showed that the prior variability highly influence the posterior distribution.
Conclusions: the novelty of this work is the Bayesian approach that integrates the two distributions with a product of Binomial distributions likelihood. Such methods could be also applied to cohort data and their application to more complex models could be useful and unique in the cervical cancer context, as well as in other disease modeling.

Published: June 2024

Background: the aim of the study is to investigate the validity of self-reported incident cardiovascular disease in the Greek EPIC cohort during follow up.
Methods: cardiovascular disease was considered in 4 groups: Myocardial infarction (MI), Angina, Cerebrovascular disease, and other coronary heart disease (other CHD). Validation for all reported incident cardiovascular events was sought through medical records of hospitals around the country and local death registries.
Results: in total, there had been 121 self reported incident cases of angina, 683 of MI, 622 of other CHD and 855 of cerebrovascular disease. Records were searched for 926 participants with reported cardiovascular disease (CVD), and from those, medical records for the 832 (90%) were obtained from the respective hospitals. Examination of the medical records that were obtained confirmed the self report in 72% of incident strokes, 65% of MIs, 55% of other CHD cases and 32% of angina.
Conclusions: it appears that in our study self reported MI and stroke (or transient ischemic attacks) had a higher validity, compared to self reported angina and other CHD. Our results are comparable to those in other cohort studies.

Published: June 2024

Background: although the epidemiological features of overweight and obesity have been well described, especially for very populous urban areas, less evidences are available for small urban areas. The aim of the present work was to assess BMI and factors associated with overweight and obesity in a representative sample of general population of a small city of Western Sicily (Italy).
Methods: four hundred and eleven randomly selected adult subjects from general population living in a small Sicilian city with 7 144 inhabitants were interviewed by a standardized questionnaire investigating life-styles, eating habits, anthropometric measurements (weight, height and BMI) and socio-economic deprivation.
Results: the standardized prevalence of overweight and obesity were 43.8% and 18.3%, respectively. The multivariate analysis has indicated an increased risk of BMI≥25 in subjects 40-59 years old (OR=2.3; 95% CI=1.2-4.4) in comparison with 18-39 years old, in males (OR=2.8; 95% CI=1.6-4.7) in comparison with females, and in participants who had a higher socio-economic deprivation (OR=1.3; 95% CI=1.1-1.7).
Conclusions: in small urban areas some demographic factors and socio-economic deprivation can be considered important risk factors for increased BMI also after controlling for the most common confounding factors.

Published: June 2024

Background: to evaluate quality of life (QoL) and cost/utility when using predictors of response in a real-life cohort of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients treated with rituximab and followed for one year. A recently reported pharmacogenetic predictor of response was included.
Methods: this was a retrospective study in patients with established RA. The goal of this study was to understand the possible economic usefulness of the predictors of response in RA treated with rituximab. Information on QoL was collected at baseline, at month +6 and +12. Cost/QoL gained were also derived. Rheumatoid factor, number of TNF blockers previously failed (positive predictors) and the -174 CC interleukin-6 (IL-6) promoter genotype (negative predictor) were considered as predictive factors of response to rituximab.
Results: 66 patients (54 females, 12 males) with RA were treated with rituximab at standard regimen. Retreatment with rituximab was given at clinical relapse. Rituximab was generally used after failure of anti-TNFalpha agents (81.8%). 96 courses of rituximab were administered during 12 months. Cost/QoL gained was € 56 589.50 at month +12. Patients carrying predictors (≥2 out of 3) (28/66 patients) showed a cost/QoL gained of € 44 279.10 at month +12. Thirty-four courses of rituximab were administered in this group (1.21±0.42). Patients without predictors (≤1 out of 3) (38/66 patients) showed a cost/QoL gained of € 66 769.23 at month +12. 62 courses of rituximab were administered in this group (1.63±0.59). The number of courses of rituximab during one year significantly differed between the two groups (p=0.003).
Conclusion: predictors of response to rituximab selected those patients who need a lesser amount of rituximab during the first year after treatment. Cost/utility of rituximab in established RA may be optimized by using predictors of response, possibly including pharmacogenetic markers.
Entrepreneurial dynamism and sustainability: Unveiling Europe’s economic growth patterns through cluster analysis
Authors: Hojnik Barbara Bradač , Širec Karin
Published: June 2024

This paper highlights the complex relationship between entrepreneurship, sustainable development, and economic growth in 41 European countries, using a reliable K-Means cluster analysis. The research thoroughly evaluates three key factors: the SDG Index for sustainable development, GDP per capita for economic well-being, and the New Business Density Rate for entrepreneurial activity. Our methodology reveals three distinct narratives that embody varying degrees of economic vitality and sustainability. Cluster 1 comprises the financially stable and sustainability-oriented countries of Western and Northern Europe. Cluster 2 showcases the variegated economic and sustainability initiatives in Central and Southern Europe. Cluster 3 envelopes the economic titans with noteworthy business expansion but with the potential for better sustainable practices. The analysis reveals a favourable association between economic prosperity and sustainable development within clusters, although with nonlinear intricacies. The research concludes with a series of strategic imperatives specifically crafted for each cluster, promoting economic variation, increased sustainability, invention, and worldwide collaboration. The resulting findings highlight the crucial need for policy-making that considers the specific context and the potential for combined European resilience and sustainability.
Daya Krishna, el coraje de pensar.
Authors: Ferrández Raquel
Published: June 2024

Daya Krishna (1924-2007) fue uno de los pensadores más creativos, polémicos y prolíficos del siglo XX. Trabajó intensamente por deshacer los estereotipos comúnmente atribuidos a la Filosofía india, desafiando las visiones que pretendían reducir milenios de debates intelectuales a parámetros meramente religiosos, prácticos y espirituales. Precursor de la Filosofía de fusión y la Filosofía global, Daya Krishna pertenece a esa generación de pensadores indios del siglo XX que socavaron las bases del provincialismo epistémico, como K.C. Bhattacharya o A.C. Mukerji, a través de escritos en los que recurren a múltiples fuentes de conocimiento para pensar problemas que nos interpelan en el presente, interrogándose sobre la naturaleza misma de la filosofía. Este ensayo quiere dar a conocer su pensamiento a los investigadores de habla hispana, así como invitarlos a pensar con el pensamiento de la India, de cualquier época y disciplina, en lugar de abordarlo con una actitud de «anticuario» que el propio Daya Krishna refutó a través de su obra.
role of Lexical Priming theory in the investigation of the formal characteristics of metaphoricity
Authors: Baena Franco Natalia
Published: June 2024

This paper aims to relate the body of research and findings on the role of Michael Hoey’s Lexical Priming theory in current metaphor investigation, with special emphasis in the research on its formal representations. It is argued that the application of this theory to the analysis of metaphor, pioneered by Katie J. Patterson, sheds light to the explanation of some aspects of metaphoric language which have been of increasing interest among linguists in recent years. From a purely theoretical approach, these contributions will be thoroughly examined. The ability of this theory to account for the processes of metaphor acquisition, identification, and usage by the individual, as well as for the great diversity of metaphorical behaviours and uses, demonstrates the particular relevance of its application to the study of figurative language.

Published: June 2024

Balfourodendron riedelianum is an important timber species of South America used in civil construction and carpentry. Knowing the genetic variation, heritability and correlation between traits is an essential prerequisite for guiding selection of the best genotypes in tree improvement. In this study, growth (diameter and height) and wood density (mean, pith, middle and bark position) traits were investigated in 30-year-old trees planted in a B. riedelianum provenance and progeny test established in two sites, Luiz Antônio (LA) and Pederneiras (PE), in São Paulo State (Brazil). ANOVA results showed significant differences between sites for all traits, among provenances and families for wood density traits in the LA site and among families for growth traits in PE. Provenance x site and family x site interactions were significant for almost traits, and genetic correlation between sites was low for all traits (0.17–0.20). Genetic variation (CV
g) was higher (4.0–5.4 %) and mean family heritability (h
m
2) was lower for growth (0.12–0.20) compared to wood density (CV
g: 2.3–3.8%, h
m
2: 0.31–0.59) traits. Genetic correlation was significantly positive and ranged from moderate to high between growth traits (0.47–0.68) and between wood density traits (0.42–0.83) and non-significant between growth and wood density (-0.22–0.30) traits. An analysis of different radial positions showed that heritability tended to increase from pith to the bark position. Our results show a lower environmental effect on wood density traits, allowing the possibility of selecting superior provenances and families with high wood quality in breeding programs in both sites.

Climate Change Denialism
Authors: Ramos Ricardo , Rodrigues Maria José , Rodrigues Isilda
Published: June 2024

Climate denialism is a spectrum spanning outright denial and degrees of skepticism about the reality of climate change. Denialism is fueled by disinformation or imprecise information that finds fertile ground on social media and takes advantage of the users’ fears and vulnerabilities, such as a lack of climate literacy and critical thinking. In this article, we offer examples of how to refute climate change denialism and expand notions of climate literacy to include the capacity to both identify and respond to climate disinformation.

Discrete-Event Drag Modulation Aerocapture for Mars and Titan Missions
Authors: Cihan Ibrahim H. , Al-Bakri Fawaz F. , Kluever Craig A.
Published: June 2024

Aerocapture is a spaceflight maneuver that uses the atmosphere of a planet or moon to slow down a spacecraft after a single atmospheric pass and capture it into an elliptical orbit around the celestial body. This paper presents a discrete-event drag modulation method for Mars and Titan aerocapture missions. A single-stage jettison is used as a control strategy to modulate the aerodynamic drag for an aerocapture scenario. Entry corridor analysis is performed under worst-case trajectory dispersions for determining the entry flight-path angle. The jettison timing of the high-drag skirt is the single free guidance parameter that adjusts the spacecraft’s trajectory during an aerocapture maneuver. A computationally simple jettison-switching guidance scheme is developed to determine when to jettison the high-drag skirt, and the result is an analytical function that represents the ballistic-coefficient switching curve. The proposed discrete-event drag-modulation strategy is extensively tested using four entry vehicles and three target orbits for Mars and Titan aerocapture scenarios. Monte Carlo simulations show that the simple switching-curve guidance provides performance metrics (apoapsis targeting errors and postexit impulsive maneuvers) that are essentially equal to the performance of more computationally burdensome guidance methods such as an onboard numerical predictor–corrector scheme.
Aircraft Categorization Approach Using Machine Learning to Analyze Aircraft Behavior
Authors: Vincent-Boulay Nicolas , Marsden Catharine
Published: June 2024

The establishment of aircraft categories is a classification technique employed in a variety of aviation disciplines, including design and development, certification, ongoing airworthiness, air traffic management, surveillance, and safety analysis. Traditional approaches rely on manual feature engineering, which can be labor-intensive and ineffective for capturing complex patterns. In this paper, an approach to aircraft categorization using unsupervised machine learning clustering is proposed. The aim of the proposed approach is to be simple in order to be useful and understandable across disciplinary domains; to be scalable to large volumes of air traffic data; and to be adaptable to changes to account for the evolving technological and operational nature of the airspace environment. The application is based on an adapted version of the [Formula: see text]-means algorithm that can group aircraft into clusters based on 3D position over time. The approach is validated using real-world, publicly available ADS-B air traffic data, and the results are compared to traditional categorization methods from the field of aircraft certification. The results showed that the model could be used to 1) identify and group aircraft sharing the same flight phase, 2) categorize aircraft with a similar general heading or direction, and 3) distinguish between local regional aircraft operations and longer flight operations. It was also shown that, depending on the use case, the model could be extended to identify more granular behaviors by increasing the [Formula: see text] value used to create the model. Overall, the findings demonstrate that leveraging machine learning techniques for aircraft categorization provides an effective, automated, and scalable solution applicable to a wide range of current applications.
Vision-Based Marker-Less Landing of an Unmanned Aerial System on Moving Ground Vehicle
Authors: Krpec Blake , Valasek John , Nogar Stephen
Published: June 2024

Current autonomous unmanned aerial systems (UASs) commonly use vision-based landing solutions that depend upon fiducial markers to localize a static or mobile landing target relative to the UAS. This paper develops and demonstrates an alternative method to fiducial markers with a combination of neural-network-based object detection and camera intrinsic properties to localize an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) and enable autonomous landing. Implementing this visual approach is challenging given the limited compute power on board the UAS, but it is relevant for autonomous landings on targets for which affixing a fiducial marker a priori is not possible or not practical. The position estimate of the UGV is used to formulate a landing trajectory that is then input to the flight controller. Algorithms are tailored toward low size, weight, and power constraints, as all compute and sensing components weigh less than 100 g. Landings were successfully demonstrated in both simulation and experimentally on a UGV traveling in both a straight line and while turning. Simulation landings were successful at UGV speeds of up to 3.0 m/s, and experimental landings at speeds up to 1.0 m/s.
Кадак — шарф подношения и освящения (из истории традиции)
Authors: Ламажаа Чимиза Кудер-ооловна , Шаймерденова Мендыганым Джамалбековна
Published: June 2024

В статье анализируются аспекты истории ритуального шарфа кадак в тувинской этнической культуре.
Этимологические исследования показывают, что название заимствовано из тибетского языка и появилось в тувинском — в результате влияния тибетской буддийской и добуддийской культур, при значительном посредничестве монгольской культуры, также принявшей буддизм. Это подтверждается и в заимствовании практик. Мирный синтез буддизма и шаманизма Тувы привел к тому, что и ритуальные шарфы кадак стали использоваться широко и шаманами в их практиках. Многочисленные свидетельства очевидцев шаманистских обрядов и быта конца XIX — начала XX в. и последующие этнографические исследования практически считают кадаки традиционным ритуальным предметом тувинских шаманов. Это заимствование органично соединилось с практикой использования шаманами разноцветных лент чалама. Кадаки также использовались и в буддийских религиозных ритуалах.
Помимо религиозного предназначения у кадаков в Туве распространилось и значение преподношения, которое изначально было и в тибетской добуддийской культуре. Эта традиция также соединилась с имевшейся у тувинцев традицией одаривания лентами-шкурками.
Прочное укоренение традиции использования кадаков в тувинской культуре было подчеркнуто в государственной символике Тувинской Народной Республике, а также восстановлено в постсоветское время (в гербе).
Сложная история традиций лент и шарфов в Туве позволяет говорить о том, что регион занимает определенное место в обширном и многослойном ареале «ленточно-флажочной» культуры степного пояса Евразии.
Студенческая семья глазами тувинской молодежи
Authors: Ростовская Тамара Керимовна , Золотарева Ольга Анатольевна , Васильева Екатерина Николаевна , Накисбаев Дмитрий Владимирович
Published: June 2024

В статье представлены результаты Всероссийского социологического исследования «Студенческая семья России» (2022 г.), полученные по Республике Тыва. Описываются брачные и репродуктивные установки тувинской студенческой молодежи в возрасте от 18 до 25 лет (учащихся Тувинского государственного университета), дана оценка готовности молодежи к созданию студенческих семей.
В ходе исследования установлено, что регистрация брака не является ведущим мотивом для семейной жизни студенческой молодежи в Республике Тыва; откладывание рождения ребенка на более позднее время у студентов связана с их уязвимым экономическим положением. Особую значимость для повышения рождаемости в ранних молодых возрастах приобретает вопрос социальной триады: семья — образование — занятость.
Молодым студенческим семьям важно достигать определенной экономическая самостоятельности и вузы могут этому способствовать, предоставляя возможности для совмещения получения образования и работы. Сформулированы первоочередные дополнительные меры, которые должны оказывать положительное влияние на решения студенческой молодежи как о создании семьи (при том официально регистрируя брак), так и о рождении ребенка.
Неполные семьи в Туве и Казахстане: статистико-демографический взгляд на проблему
Authors: Ростовская Тамара Керимовна , Натсак Органа Доржуевна , Еламанова Айнур Султановна
Published: June 2024

В статье представлен сравнительный анализ статистико-демографического измерения неполных семей в Туве (Россия) и Казахстане на современном этапе. Рассматриваются ключевые факторы, влияющие на причины распространения семей с неполной структурой. В качестве источников были использованы итоги Всероссийских переписей  населения 2010 и 2020 гг., Национальной переписи населения Республики Казахстан 2009, 2021 гг.; материалы текущей демографической статистики, касающиеся гендерных характеристик населения Тувы и Казахстана, рождаемости, в том числе, вне брака, ожидаемой продолжительности жизни, брачной структуры рассматриваемых обществ, коэффициентов разводимости, а также экономического положения и доходной стратификации семей разных типов.
В результате социодемографических трансформаций и в Туве, и Казахстане наблюдается рост монородительских семей, однако удельный вес нуклеарных неполных семей в Казахстане выше, чем в Туве. Количественная гендерная дифференциация в структуре современного населения более выражена в Туве, чем в Казахстане, что в свою очередь влияет на брачную структуру населения. В казахском обществе уровень брачности выше по сравнению с тувинским. В Туве доля  незарегистрированных супружеских союзов более чем в два раза выше, чем в Казахстане, что отрицательно влияет на качество семейной структуры населения.
Показано, что структура причин формирования и типология неполных семей в Туве и Казахстане имеют существенные различия. Для казахстанского общества более свойственно общественное порицание и осуждение внебрачной рождаемости и одинокого материнства.
Для обоих обществ характерен высокий уровень рождаемости, однако имеются заметные различия в уровне внебрачной рождаемости и подростковой фертильности, которые являются причиной формирования неполных семей. В Туве они — выше.
Распад семьи в результате развода практически в равной степени характерен для обоих регионов. Неполные семьи потенциально подвержены риску бедности, особенно  детской бедности, и социальной неустойчивости, эти риски высоки для тех монородителей, кто воспитывает более одного ребенка, детей с инвалидностью, имеет невысокий уровень образования.
Роль гастрономического компонента в выражении аксиологического смысла тувинских паремий (на фоне русского и французского материала)

Published: June 2024

Статья посвящена аксиологическому анализу тувинских пословиц и поговорок с компонентом гастрономической тематики на фоне русских и французских паремий. Анализ проведен на материале авторской картотеки, полученной путем сплошной выборки из паремиографических источников трех языков, построенных по тематическому принципу.
Проведенное исследование позволило выявить важную роль пищевого компонента в выражении аксиологического смысла паремий трех языков. Выявленные компоненты-символы представляют гастрономические традиции этносов и позволяют установить как универсальные, так и специфические черты в восприятии ценностей и определенных жизненных ситуаций. Для тувинских паремий типично употребление наименований различных видов мяса, молочных продуктов и зерна, то есть традиционных продуктов питания, выступающих в качестве символической основы для отражения различных ценностей и ценностных диад: труд — лень, дружба, семья, народ, богатство — бедность, слово, красота. Русский материал выявляет связь гастрономических паремий с самыми разными темами и соответствующими ценностями, однако еда в нем рассматривается скорее не как ценность, а как жизненная необходимость. Репрезентация пищи как отдельной ценности ярко выражена во французских паремиях, где выявлено самое большое число разнообразных компонентов, обозначающих еду, так как для французской культуры особенно характерны гастрономические традиции. Кроме того, во французском словаре, в отличие от тувинского и русского, имеется отдельная рубрика, посвященная еде и столу, что подтверждает роль еды как ценности для французов.

Correlation of Global Longitudinal Strain with Functional Status of Patients with Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction: Does Gender Difference Exist?
Authors: Beura Biraja Prasad , Singh Subhasish
Published: June 2024

Objectives:

Two-dimensional (2D) echocardiographic (echo) assessment of the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) by Simpson’s biplane method is routinely used in clinical practice for patient management. The measurement of global longitudinal strain (GLS) using speckle tracking echocardiography is a new method for assessing left ventricular (LV) systolic function with several advantages. There are very few observations regarding the correlation of 2D GLS with the functional status of patients with the LV systolic dysfunction (LVSD). Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the superiority of GLS over Simpson’s method of LVEF in predicting the functional status of the patients with moderate-to-severe LVSD (ejection fraction <40%) and to find out if any difference exists between male and female patients.

Materials and Methods:

Fifty patients aged 18–80 years satisfying the inclusion and exclusion criteria were studied over a period of 2 months. Simpson’s method was used to calculate 2D LVEF. 2D GLS was assessed using an automated function imaging technique. The Minnesota living with heart failure questionnaire was used to assess the functional status of patients.

Results:

Correlation of functional status of patients was better with 2D GLS than 2D LVEF, although both were found to be statistically significant and no statistically significant difference was found in observations between both genders.

Conclusion:

Authors: Alshevskaya Olga N.
Published: June 2024

The paper characterizes the development of the book festival movement in recent decades in the eastern regions of Russia. The application of formal-logical and comparative-historical methods allowed us to expand the previously studied aspects of the functioning of book fairs. The main directions of the modern regional book festival movement were revealed: library book festivals; projects organized on private and public initiative in collaboration with governmental authorities; federal book festival projects. Long-term (“Book Salon” — Ulan-Ude, since 1996; “Pechatny Dvor” — Vladivostok, since 1997; “Published in Altai” — Barnaul, since 2006; Krasnoyarsk Book Culture Fair (2007—2021), etc.) and recently appeared (“BookMart” — Irkutsk, since 2019; “Book Square” — Kemerovo, since 2021, etc.) regional projects are analyzed. The federal initiatives of 2023 are characterized: “Red Square. Far East” (Vladivostok), “Reading August” of the All-Russian interregional network library-publishing festival movement “Book Beacons of Russia”. The increasing sustainability of the projects due to co-financing by federal and regional authorities, public organizations, sponsors, grant and subsidy support was established. The main trends of the regional book and festival movement were identified. Unresolved problems that can become points of growth are revealed. The relevance and significance of the study of the conditions of development and the current state of the book festival movement in the Siberian Federal District and the Far Eastern Federal District are determined by their growing communicative potential and its influence on the formation of the regional cultural field.

Authors: Kononova Ekaterina V. , Fedulova Olga E.
Published: June 2024

The article reveals the main principles of formation of the alphabetical subject index (ASI) to the tables of the Library and Bibliographic Classification (LBC). The main functions of the ASI are considered. The significance of the personality of one of the developers of the LBC of Cecilia Moiseevna Berdichevskaya in forming the potential for further development of the national classification system, ensuring its fundamentality, comprehensiveness and integrity at all stages of development is revealed. Directly C.M. Berdichevskaya prepared the original methodology of compiling subject indexes to systematic catalogues of libraries, which was later used in the creation of the ASI to the tables of the LBC. The completion of the publication of the LBC tables for scientific libraries (1960—1968) was an outstanding event in Russian librarianship. The theoretical development of the ASI to the LBC tables was most fully reflected in the “Introduction” to the classification and in articles published in special periodicals.
Russian Emigrant Publishing House “Northern Lights” in Sweden (1920—1923): History and Significance
Authors: Ganichev Leonid A.
Published: June 2024

The “peripheral” status of the Russian emigration community in Sweden is due to the geographical location of the country and the absence of major publishing centers. The most fruitful period for the Russian Abroad in Sweden was the first half of the 1920s. At that time, the publishing enterprise “Northern Lights”, founded by I.A. Lundel and E.A. Lyatsky, was operating in Stockholm. During 1920—1923 the organization published about two dozen editions. These were mainly fiction, entertainment, popular science and practical books. A study of the external and internal conditions of the book market showed that it was E.A. Lyatsky who predetermined the short-term success of the organization and its further fate. The publishing house was closed down as unprofitable due to its reliance on expensive quality editions, unprofitable sales logistics and unfulfilled co-operation with Soviet Russia. Professor E.A. Lyatsky repeatedly tried to save “Northern Lights”, even to the point of moving the organization to Czechoslovakia. Nevertheless, having given his enterprise a name and built up a reputation, he did not preserve the repertoire, staff and internal culture. This project was important for E.A. Lyatsky, but only a stage in his humanitarian and informational struggle against Bolshevism. It is on the example of “Northern Lights” and especially the personality of its founder that the mission, values and political orientation of the Russian emigration as a whole can be clearly traced. It is important to comprehensively evaluate this historical experience in the context of the development of modern Russia.
A Game of Words, or Unjustified Neologisms in Library Science (Regarding a New Article by R.A. Baryshev)
Authors: Stolyarov Yury N.
Published: June 2024

A response to R.A. Baryshev’s article “Proactivity, Reactivity and Interactivity in Library Activity” (pp. 173—183) is presented, in which the author continues to defend the terms proposed by him in his previous works. Neologisms in science in general and in library science in particular are necessary, they contribute to the development of the conceptual apparatus and scientific discipline as a whole. The objective need for neologisms arises when a new phenomenon is discovered, which has no name yet, and the existing terms for some reason characterize it either partially or distorted. To get out of the situation, usually use two ways: either according to the rules of terminology invent a new word, or borrow the most appropriate from related and neighboring sciences, expanding its meaning. Here are examples of neologisms “fondist”, “document”, “information resource”, “medialogy” that illustrate this provision. But there is no need to introduce the terms proposed by R.A. Baryshev, library science and library practice do without the terms artificially borrowed by him from other fields. The necessity of their introduction is not justified by the author, and their introduction is useless both theoretically and practically. The article by R.A. Baryshev does not reveal the methodology of how to anticipate the information needs of readers and there are no examples illustrating the effectiveness of the so-called proactive libraries.
PROTESTANT ETHICS AND THE BREAKDOWN OF CAPITALISM
Authors: Izvekov Arkady I.
Published: June 2024

The European culture crisis at the turn of the 20th century, rooted by but not limited to the bourgeois society development, proved to be a significant intermediate outcome of the Protestantism ethics impact on the capitalist relations formation. Crisis-rooted events appeared as an extremely contradictory, but rather obvious symptom of one of the critical stages at the end of the modern period, followed by the two unprecedentedly tragic world wars and the record economic growth of the West after them. Thorough examination of the socio-philosophical reflection of the historical circumstances indicates a new round of crisis manifesting the moral collapse of the Anglo-Saxon capitalist model.
