Nomenclatural and taxonomic comments on some taxa of Dysphania (Chenopodiaceae s. str. / Amaranthaceae s. l.)
Authors:   M.G. Kholodny Institute of Botany, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Mosyakin Sergei L.
Published: September 2021

Following the comprehensive molecular phylogenetic results presented by Uotila et al. (2021), comments are provided on the infrageneric classification system of the genus Dysphania in its amended circumscription. Amendments and additions to the five-section scheme of Uotila et al. (2021) are proposed. In particular, the morphologically distinct lineage containing Dysphania atriplicifolia (earlier widely recognized in the monospecific genus Cycloloma as C. atriplicifolium) is recognized as a separate section, Dysphania sect. Cycloloma (Moq.) Mosyakin, comb. et stat. nov. Extensive synonymy of the section and its species is provided. The subclades revealed in the Australian clade of Dysphania sect. Dysphania are rather well characterized morphologically and were treated earlier as sections of either Chenopodium (sensu lato) or Dysphania. These subclades are recognized here as three subsections of sect. Dysphania: (1) subsect. Orthospora (R.Br.) Mosyakin, comb. et stat. nov.; (2) subsect. Dysphania; and (3) subsect. Tetrasepalae (Aellen) Mosyakin, comb. et stat. nov. The nomenclature of Dysphania graveolens (≡ Chenopodium graveolens) is discussed. It is confirmed that the name Chenopodium graveolens was first validated not by Willdenow in 1809 but by Lagasca and Rodríguez in 1802. Original specimens associated with that name in both publications belong taxonomically to the same species currently known as D. graveolens (= Chenopodium incisum Poir.). In my opinion, Art. 41.8(a) of the ICN (Shenzhen Code) is directly applicable here. Consequently, the name D. graveolens should be cited with the corrected authorship "(Lag. & Rodr.) Mosyakin & Clemants", and the new combination in Dysphania based on Chenopodium incisum (provisionally cited in POWO as "Dysphania incisa (Poir.) ined.") is unnecessary.
A recent find of Ophrys insectifera (Orchidaceae) in Ukraine – will it survive another 100 years?
Authors:   Institute of Botany of the Czech Academy of Sciences, Roleček Jan
Published: September 2021

Here I report the first find of Ophrys insectifera in Ukraine since 1920. A single individual was found at its last recorded site, Chortova Hora near Rohatyn (Ivano-Frankivsk Region). The species occurs in a steppe meadow habitat situated in the lower part of a steep northern slope. Local vegetation may be classified to a broadly circumscribed association Brachypodio pinnati-Molinietum arundinaceae from the alliance Cirsio-Brachypodion pinnati (class Festuco-Brometea). I discuss possible causes of the long-term neglect of O. insectifera at the site, its habitat conditions and suitable conservation management. To ensure the continued occurrence of this poor competitor and other rare species, it is necessary to prevent accumulation of litter and successional changes of the grassland. Mowing, low-intensity grazing, controlled early spring burning or their combination may be suitable ways to achieve this.

Published: September 2021

BACKGROUND

Previous studies of reference values for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) profiles have been limited by small sample size and few exclusion criteria.

OBJECTIVE

To determine age-specific normative CSF white blood cell count (WBC), glucose, and protein values in infants ≤90 days old.

METHODS

Performed a retrospective cross-sectional study of infants ≤90 days old who had a diagnostic lumbar puncture between 2008 and 2016. Infants with bacterial meningitis, bacteremia, UTI, positive CSF herpes simplex virus polymerase chain reaction (PCR) result, traumatic lumbar puncture, ventriculoperitoneal shunt, prematurity, recent seizure, previous antibiotic use, and history of a complex chronic condition were excluded for calculations to determine normative values. Data on demographics and CSF values (WBC with differential, protein, glucose, enterovirus PCR) were collected. CSF values were compared by age and by enterovirus PCR results using Kruskal–Wallis and Wilcoxon rank tests.

RESULTS

A total of 1029 out of 2000 patients were included and divided into 3 age groups: 0 to 28 days, 29 to 60 days, 61 to 90 days. CSF WBC values were significantly greater for 0- to 28-day old infants (median: 3, 95th percentile: 14) than for 29- to 60-day and 61- to 90-day old infants (median: 2 and 2; 95th percentile: 7 and 11, respectively) (P < .001). With each month of life, the median CSF protein significantly decreased and glucose significantly increased. In the CSF WBC differential, monocytes were found to be prevalent.

CONCLUSION

We determined age-specific normative components for CSF profile values for infants 0 to 90 days.
Using Electronic Health Record Tools to Decrease Antibiotic Exposure in Infant Sepsis Evaluation
Authors: Bauer Sarah Corey , Kaeppler Caitlin , Soung Paula , Porada Kelsey , Bushee Glenn , Havens Peter L.
Published: September 2021

BACKGROUND

Our internal infant sepsis evaluation clinical practice guideline recommends infants with negative culture results who are undergoing sepsis evaluation receive antibiotics until culture results are negative for a maximum of 36 hours. The aims of our project were to decrease the percentage of patients who received >30 hours of administered antibiotic doses (recognizing effective concentrations last until hour 36) and increase 36-hour phrase documentation by using clinical decision support tools.

METHODS

We used quality improvement methodology to study infants aged ≤60 days with negative culture results. The outcome measures were the percentage of patients who received >30 hours of administered antibiotic doses, the percentage of history and physical (H&P) notes that included a statement of the anticipated 36-hour antibiotic discontinuation time (36-hour phrase), and length of stay. The process measure was the use of an illness-specific H&P template or an influencer smartphrase. Balancing measures were readmissions for positive culture results. Interventions included education, an illness-specific H&P template, a criteria-based rule to default to this H&P template, and editing influencer smartphrases.

RESULTS

Over 33 months, 311 patients were included. Percentage of patients who received >30 hours of administered antibiotic doses decreased from 75.6% to 62%. Percentage of H&P notes documenting the 36-hour phrase increased from 4.9% to 75.6%. Illness-specific H&P template and influencer smartphrase usage increased to a mean of 51.5%; length of stay did not change. No readmissions for positive culture results were reported.

CONCLUSIONS

Clinical decision support techniques and educational interventions popularized the “36-hour phrase” and were associated with a reduction in the antibiotic exposure in infants with negative culture results hospitalized for sepsis evaluation.

Published: September 2021

OBJECTIVES

Researchers in recent studies suggest that hospitalized febrile infants aged ≤60 days may be safely discharged if bacterial cultures are negative after 24–36 hours of incubation. We aimed to describe trends and variation in length of stay (LOS) for hospitalized febrile infants across children’s hospitals.

METHODS

We conducted a multicenter retrospective cohort study of febrile infants aged ≤60 days hospitalized from 2016 to 2019 at 39 hospitals in the Pediatric Health Information System database. We excluded infants with complex chronic conditions, bacterial infections, lower respiratory tract viral infections, and those who required ICU admission. The primary outcomes were trends in LOS overall and for individual hospitals, adjusted for patient demographics and clinical characteristics. We also evaluated the hospital-level association between LOS and 30-day readmissions.

RESULTS

We identified 11 868 eligible febrile infant encounters. The adjusted mean LOS for the study cohort decreased from 44.0 hours in 2016 to 41.9 hours in 2019 (P < .001). There was substantial variation in adjusted mean LOS across children’s hospitals, range 33.5–77.9 hours in 2016 and 30.4–100.0 hours in 2019. The change from 2016 to 2019 in adjusted mean LOS across individual hospitals also varied widely (−23.9 to +26.7 hours; median change −1.8 hours, interquartile range: −5.4 to 0.3). There was no association between hospital-level LOS and readmission rates (P = .70).

CONCLUSIONS

The LOS for hospitalized febrile infants decreased marginally between 2016 and 2019, although overall LOS and change in LOS varied substantially across children’s hospitals. Continued quality improvement efforts are needed to reduce LOS for hospitalized febrile infants.

Published: September 2021

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

Pediatric sepsis quality improvement in emergency departments has been well described and associated with improved survival. Acute care (non-ICU inpatient) units differ in important ways, and optimal approaches to improving sepsis processes and outcomes in this setting are not yet known. Our objective was to increase the proportion of acute care sepsis cases in our health system with initial antibiotic order-to-administration time ≤60 minutes by 20% from a baseline of 43% to 52% by December 2020.

METHODS

Employing the Model for Improvement with broad stakeholder engagement, we developed and implemented interventions aimed at effective intervention for sepsis cases on acute care units. We analyzed process and outcome metrics over time using statistical process control charts. We used descriptive statistics to explore differences in antibiotic order-to-administration time and inform ongoing improvement.

RESULTS

We cared for 187 patients with sepsis over the course of our initiative. The proportion within our goal antibiotic order-to-administration time rose from 43% to 64% with evidence of special cause variation after our interventions. Of all patients, 66% experienced ICU transfer and 4% died.

CONCLUSIONS

We successfully decreased antibiotic order-to-administration time. We also introduced a novel model for sepsis response systems that integrates interventions designed for the complexities of acute care settings. We demonstrated impactful local improvements in the acute care setting where quality improvement reports and success have previously been limited.
Ureasplasma and Its Role in Adverse Perinatal Outcomes: A Review
Authors: Venturelli Nicholas , Zeis Audrey , De Beritto Theodore , Hageman Joseph R.
Published: September 2021

Human Ureaplasma species are the most common microbes found in amniotic fluid and in the placenta after preterm birth, and have previously been correlated with chorioamnionitis, preterm labor, and bronchopulmonary dysplasia, among other adverse birth and neonatal outcomes. Although these correlations exist, there still remains little explanation as to whether Ureaplasma plays a pathogenic role in the development of neonatal disease. In addition, Ureaplasma species are not usually identified on routine culture as they require special culture methods because of their fastidious growth requirements. Treatment of Ureaplasma with macrolides has been shown to effectively eradicate the bacteria in pregnant women and infants. However, it is unclear whether this leads to improved neonatal morbidity and mortality, or whether these generally represent commensal organisms. This review will synthesize the current perspectives about the proposed mechanisms of pathogenicity of Ureaplasma bacteria, its links to poor neonatal outcomes, and the role of screening and treatment in current clinical practice.
Congenital Cytomegalovirus Infection: Epidemiology, Timely Diagnosis, and Management
Authors: Jenks Carolyn M. , Hoff Stephen R. , Mithal Leena B.
Published: September 2021

Congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) infection is common because of the ubiquitous nature of the virus and the lack of an effective prevention strategy during pregnancy. Most infants with cCMV are asymptomatic, although a notable subset can have sequelae including, most commonly, sensorineural hearing loss and neurodevelopmental disability, which may not be present at birth. Timely screening for cytomegalovirus in the first weeks after birth is critical to appropriately diagnose congenital infection, evaluate affected infants, and determine the treatment course. Antiviral therapy with valganciclovir can optimize end hearing and neurodevelopmental outcomes in symptomatic infants. This review discusses the epidemiology and clinical manifestations of cCMV, targeted and universal screening approaches, and treatment and monitoring of infants with cCMV.

OBJECTIVES

The objective was to evaluate if 2 pediatric weight management interventions delivered to Hispanic, low-income children (one in a health center the other in a Young Men’s Christian Association) were effective in reducing BMI. We hypothesized that they would be equally effective.

METHODS

A total 407 children aged 6 to 12 years with BMI ≥ 85th percentile receiving care at 2 health centers were randomly assigned to a healthy weight clinic (HWC) at the health center or to a modified Healthy Weight and Your Child (M-HWYC) intervention delivered in Young Men’s Christian Associations. A total of 4037 children served as the comparison group. We completed a noninferiority test comparing the M-HWYC with the HWC, which was supported if the bounds of the 90% confidence interval (CI) for the difference in percentage of the 95th percentile (%BMIp95) change did not contain what we considered a minimally clinically important difference, on the basis of previous data (0.87). Then, using linear mixed models, we assessed yearly changes in BMI among intervention participants compared with the comparison sites.

RESULTS

The mean difference in %BMIp95 between the M-HWYC and the HWC was 0.75 (90% CI: 0.07 to 1.43), which did not support noninferiority. Compared with the comparison sites, per year, children in the HWC had a −0.23 (95% CI: −0.36 to −0.10) decrease in BMI and a −1.03 (95% CI −1.61 to −0.45) %BMIp95 decrease. There was no BMI effect in the M-HWYC.

CONCLUSIONS

We were unable to establish noninferiority of the M-HWYC. The HWC improved BMI, offering an effective treatment of those disproportionately affected.

Published: September 2021

Despite improvements in representation of women in academic medicine, the rate of promotion and career advancement remains unequal. Compared with their male colleagues, women report lower rates of personal-organizational value alignment and higher rates of burnout. Particular challenges further exist for Black women, Indigenous women, women of color, and third gender or gender nonbinary faculty. Promoting the well-being of women physicians requires innovative approaches beyond the traditional scope of physician well-being efforts and careful attention to the unique barriers women face. Three wellness-oriented models are presented to promote the professional fulfillment and well-being of women physicians: (1) redefine productivity and create innovative work models, (2) promote equity through workplace redesign and burnout reduction, and (3) promote, measure, and improve diversity, equity, and inclusion. By engaging in innovative models for equitable advancement and retention, it is anticipated that diverse groups of women faculty will be better represented at higher levels of leadership and thus contribute to the creation of more equitable work climates, fostering well-being for women physicians.
The technology of sustainable political public relations and ideas creation with the help of social media
Authors: Panasenko Aleksei , Khlivniuk Tatiana
Published: September 2021

Recent years have witnessed the effectiveness of political public relations in influencing public opinion and election results. The unpredictable support of Donald Trump in the US presidential election, the unexpected vote for Brexit in the UK and the victory of former comedian Volodymyr Zelensky in the Ukrainian presidential election might serve as the examples. The public relations research shows the uncertainty about the impact of social media and other online communication platforms on building strong connections between political subjects and society. The aim of this study is to reveal and evaluate the nature, methods and impact of the mechanism of political relations with the public to the society in general, and in social networks in particular.Statistical research and open source analysis were used as the main methods of this study. As an example of the above-mentioned political communications, we cite the election campaign of the current president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, namely its Facebook component.The novelty of this study is the statistical analysis of political technologies and assessment of their impact on society, on sustainable relations between society and politicians, and their impact on the formation of sustainable ideas.Modern methods of political influence were found to be undergoing some difficult changes. More and more social media occupies a significant part of political communication and forms ideas that are later perceived and relayed by the society.This paper identifies the main mechanisms and technologies that modern politicians use to achieve their political goals. A method of using a banner on Facebook to form a political agenda, mood and ideas was described. The influence of the used technologies, the reasons and consequences of use of these technologies in the environment of social networks were estimated.The Facebook page of V. Zelensky was analyzed. The use of political ideas in the 2019 election campaign and the formation of public relations were assessed. Indicators of the growing popularity of political ideas and key technologies used to achieve this goal were identified. The degree of assimilation of the image of V. Zelensky as a president in society was revealed. Also, the growing trend of Ukrainian society's involvement in the political life of the state during the elections was characterized.
Postmodern conflictology: issues of theory and approaches to methodology
Authors: Vlasova Tetiana , Pshinko Oleksandr , Vlasova Olha
Published: September 2021

The problematization of the classical concepts in the postmodern philosophy has created some definite challenges that stipulate the development of the “Theory” in its interdisciplinary conceptual meanings and practical applications. The latter demands a certain “list” of the new notions and implies requirements for theorists to reflect the scientific diversity without reducing it to any kind of “theoretical unity”. For these reasons the purpose of this article is the conceptual reconstruction of the notion of the conflict in the specific postmodern context of its sociocultural, political and ethical meanings and senses. The methods of the research are mainly based on the principle of the anthropocentric paradigm, which stipulates the use of the interdisciplinary comparative-critical approaches and social construction methods in the general problematic field of postmodernism. While analysing conflict theories such schools of philosophy as existententialism, phenomenology and pragmatism are considered to be valid in the descriptions of both the actual conditions of the individual human existence and abstract human qualities. The practical aspects of this paper involve the empirical representation of the principles of the value and the sense in the problematic aspects of conflict resolution with the stress on the concepts of the discoursive communication. The obtained results allow to come to the conclusion that the most influential transformations are connected with such postmodern conflict problems as asymmetrical threats and unstable security architecture. The latter proves that the methodological approaches to conflictology should be evaluated from the point of presumably successful resolutions against the background of different spatial and temporal factors, which, in its turn, means creating new administrative modalities of conflict management. It should be stressed that in the context of the conflictological tendencies of the globalizing societies the special place should be occupied by the principles of K.- O. Apel’s discoursive ethics and M. M. Bakhtin’s doctrine of the “responsible dialogism”. Nowadays political approaches cannot be effective in the conflict resolutions without the classical ideals and the absolutes, without the impact of the Pathos, which means implied significance of the “relatively Utopian” ideas and their application in the conflict resolution, the potential possibilities of their realization in the conflict situations.
XVII century Azerbaijani culture through the eyes of european travelers
Authors: Abdullayeva Sevda , Gasimova Samira
Published: September 2021

At the beginning of the 16th century, due to the establishment of the Safavid Empire of Azerbaijan, the culture of the people also developed significantly, especially due to the strengthening of the centralized political structure. “Language commonality, which is one of the factors of the national stage of public unity” was a reality that closely united the people of Azerbaijan in the 17th century.In the 17th century, Azerbaijan was remaining one of the most important cultural centers of the Near and Middle East. The ongoing Safavid-Ottoman wars at that time dealt a crushing blow to the cultural development of the people. Many famous Azerbaijani scientists were captivated and taken to Istanbul, and some were transferred to Qazvin and Isfahan. Only in the middle of the 17th century there was a certain revival in the development of science and education in Azerbaijan. There were various educational institutions in the cities of the country, which were the centers of crafts, trade and culture. In the Middle Ages, all educational institutions, including madrassas, neighbour schools, tekyehs, were, of course, religious in nature.A careful analysis of the information provided by medieval historians and travelers leads to the conclusion that book printing was not only known in Azerbaijan in the middle of the 17th century, but even a printing press was brought here. The French traveler Chardin writes that the Safavid Empire, aware of the benefits of printing, was in favor of bringing it to Iran.Generally, the history of Azerbaijan in the Middle Ages (as well as in the XVII century) had the character of a scientific chronicle. However, even the mere recording of real events served to develop the historical thinking of the people, to ensure the connection of inheritance. The expansion of folk art, the spread of cultural potential in the Near and Middle East was one of the features of the development of Azerbaijani culture in the 17th century. Unfavorable socio-economic and political processes had a negative impact on the development of culture in the country.

Published: September 2021

The article is devoted to the study of the social distance of the youth of Luhansk region. Social distance described as a certain degree of closeness and remoteness of people in relation to each other. It illustrates social relationships among people of different cultures, nationalities, social groups, so it is relevant for research. Exploring the problem of social distance, the author turns to the scientific works and research of such scientists as R. Park, E. Bogardus, V. Paniotto, N. Panina and others, describing their contribution to the development of science on this topic. The purpose of this article is to study the social distance of young people in Luhansk region, by conducting this study at the local level, which indicates the lack of such experience before. For this purpose, we chose the method of questionnaires, and 418 young people of Luhansk region of different ages and fields of activity acted as respondents. The study used a simplified method of E. Bogardus to measure the degree of social distance of respondents to representatives of certain social groups, and the terminology of interpretation of social distance by N. Panina. Also, a simplified scale of social distance was used, limited to three possible answers: "I agree to communicate with them personally", "I agree to accept them in society, but would like to avoid personal communication" and "No I want them to be in our society in general, ”and not only national minorities but also social groups of a marginal nature and representatives of sexual minorities were chosen as social groups. Particular attention was paid to the description of the results of the study. The study found that young people in Luhansk region have social closeness to residents of the European Union, are tolerant of people with disabilities, people with COVID-19 and IDPs, as well as socially distant from marginalized groups, sexual minorities and more. As a result, it was proved that the students have an average level of social distance.

Halal food certification in the university canteen needs to prepare Halal Assurance System (HAS) implementation. Halal Control Point (HCP) traceability in the canteen is very complicated because it has several menus, processes, and materials. This study aims to trace the HCP on materials, processing and serving in Universitas Brawijaya (UB) Canteen, then provide improvement. This research used seven criteria of HAS-23102 for a restaurant to evaluate the menus, ingredients, production, and serving in UB Canteen. HCP traceability was done on 60 menus from 4 food tenants and one beverage tenant. The results showed that grouping the menus and ingredients facilitates HCP identification. The menu consists of six groups: soup, deep-fried, stir-fried, strong spices dish, medium soup, and beverages. The materials consist of fresh ingredients, dry ingredients, and liquids. The menus required 113 materials. There are 16 (14%) materials HCP, including chicken, beef, noodles, and soy sauce. HCP materials do not meet HAS criteria and be replaced with halal-certified material or halal production process (HPP) description from the producer that needs to be checked by a halal auditor. The HCP did not found in the process and serving because the canteen does not produce and service haram (unlawful) products. Still, there is contamination possibility of haram and najis (unclean in Islamic terms) materials. For prevention, the Standard Operational Procedure (SOP) of production, serving the tenant, employee, and visitor need to be applied. The alternatives are supplying chicken meat and beef from a halal-certified slaughterhouse, monitoring and controlling the tenants' kitchen periodically three months, applying the halal standard for storage in tenant's kitchen and canteen facilities, and food serving in canteen. The HCP traceability of the university canteen according to halal standards, including raw materials, additional materials, processes, and serving, including the equipment used.

Published: September 2021

Bakery product is a product with huge business opportunities in the domestic and international halal food market. Bakery companies are demanded to keep the trust of the consumers to the bakery product. The design of the halal assessment model is required to determine the critical point in the bakery-making business process. This assessment tool is intended to understand, know, and determine the critical point of the bakery production process from the halalness degree and is reviewed from all aspects such as the materials’ content, as well as the material acquisition and processing method based on 18 criteria of GMP principles (Good Manufacturing Practices). The halal assessment model designed in this research used QFD (Quality Function Deployment) approach which was integrated into the company’s business process and the halal critical bakery was grouped based on SCOR (Supply Chain Operations Reference) model. Matrix 1 integrated GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) and business process (BP), matrix 2 integrated GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices), and halal critical bakery (HCB). The results of the design model implementation based on the standards set by the Halal Auditor of LPPOM MUI found that the standard matrix component 1 was met by the company by 47%, while the matrix component 2 was only able to meet the Auditor standards by 34% and the matrix component 3 standards were able to fulfilled by the company by 75%. The fulfillment value of each matrix is influenced by the negative gap that occurs, the negative gap occurs because of the standard criteria in the technical matrix that are not met. The result of this halal assessment model design is expected to help the company in evaluating and controlling critical points found in the business processes.
Sociocultural Perception and Living Conditions of Foreign Citizens in Stalingrad in the 1920s – 1930s
Authors:   Volgograd State University, Yudina Taisiya
Published: September 2021

Introduction. In the late 1920s Stalingrad was undergoing major industrial construction and reconstruction. Due to the shortage of local labor resources, foreign labor resources were required. The study highlights the nationality and number of the labor force, arrival dates and participation in the city’s public life. Methods and materials. The study used sources from the State Archive of Volgograd Oblast. The Research is based on comparative-historical and descriptive-historical methods. Analysis. Housing was the main issue in Stalingrad. Foreign specialists (Americans, Germans, Austrians, Czechs, Swedes) and their families were provided with housing, but living conditions were harsh. Moreover, despite the fact that salary of foreign labors was higher than salary of locals, foreign specialists still considered it insufficient. Providing foreign specialists with better living conditions, special product delivery and essential goods irritated the locals, whose standard of living was low. Results. Construction of buildings for foreign specialists began in the late 1920s. For local workers of such plants as the Stalingradskiy traktornyy zavod (Stalingrad Tractor Plant), the Barrikady (Titan-Barrikady) and the Krasny Oktyabr construction began in 1933. This helped to improve the city’s housing situation and increase the standard of living and the number of citizens. In 1933 Stalingrad became a major industrial center; by the end of the 1930s, it had become a city with a large population, including foreigners who stayed in Stalingrad, provided training for local specialists, adapted to an unfamiliar social life, and mastered the Russian language.
Sato Masaru’s Views on the Russian-Japanese Relations in the 1990s – 2000s Withing the Context of His Professional Biography
Authors:   Saint Petersburg State University, Malashevskaya Maria
Published: September 2021

Introduction. Paper examines the views on politics and politicians of a former diplomat, member of the Japanese MOFA “Russian school”, popular political analyst, author of more than 200 books and articles on politics, politicians and political thought, Sato Masaru. Methods and Materials. The objective of this study is to extract the most relevant and illustrative ideas about politics and political behavior, expressed by a former diplomat, which relate to the essential characteristics and contents of the Russian-Japanese negotiations in the 1990s. The data sources for our analysis are the memoirs by Sato Masaru and his non-fiction texts (“The Self-Destructing Empire”, “The Art of Negotiating”, “State, God and Marxism”, “Russian-Japanese Diplomatic Relations: Northern Territories and Intelligence”). Analysis. Sato Masaru expresses uncommon views on Japanese and Russian political culture during the period of the rise of the Russian-Japanese relations in Post-Cold War era, which coincided with the “Lost Decade” depression in Japan in the 1990s and lasted for three decades. Moreover, Sato’s views illustrate the pragmatic approaches of the Japanese diplomatic machine towards the dialogue with Russia, while he obtained his information by observing members of elite groups of politicians in Moscow and Tokyo. In order to extract and study Sato’s most representative ideas, we have divided our text into four parts: (1) Sato Masaru’s professional biography, (2) his views on the structure of Russian and Japanese elite groups in relation to Sato’s diplomatic activities; (3) his assessment of the Putin-Abe dialogue in the context of the international situation. Results. The specific Sato’s views concerning Russian-Japanese relations in the Post-Cold War decades consist in (1) similarities between Russian and Japanese political cultures within the structure and behavior of elites, which are beneficial for a fruitful interstate dialogue; (2) assessment of the Putin-Abe ties in the 2010s taking into account Sato’s diplomatic experience in the 1990s and a panoramic view of international affairs under the Ukrainian crisis and sanctions during the 2010s.
Decision-Making and Executive Power Departments’ Adaptation. Barack Obama’s Pacific Policy Case
Authors:   Far-Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Centre for Asia-Pacific Studies, Boldyrev Vitalii
Published: September 2021

Introduction. In the Barack Obama’s government and administration’s decision-making process related to the Asia-Pacific, the interaction of specific officials, rather than general policy goals, played a determining role. Methods. Using the structural method, the history of everyday life, and adaptology, the author analyzed the hidden sides of decision-making process that influenced the official narrative. Analysis. The analysis is related to interaction with counterparts and behavioural strategies of the president, his administration, the State Department, the Department of Defense and the United States trade representative as the key centers involved in the struggle for policy elaboration. Results. Because of high competition among them and the desire of each center to stand for its position, the decision-making process has acquired several peculiarities. To mark their own position and reduce the influence of their competitors, the agencies developed their own strategies supported by created related concepts and narratives, opened new jobs, concealed their real attitudes towards each other as well as the real meanings of the strategies, and proposed new forms of interaction with non-state actors. To prevent the strengthening of other parts of the process Barack Obama and his advisors developed the concept of rebalance. Hillary Clinton responded with the concept of pivot. The Department of Defense, as these narratives struggled, was forced to side with the president, thereby disguising its true goals. United States trade representative R. Krik avoided the struggle and concentrated on adapting to objective conditions. As a result of the struggle, the Barack Obama’s government and administration have not developed a common regional strategy based on common goals and understanding of the region.
Donald Trump’s Policy Toward Latin America As an Issue of the U.S. Political Struggle 2020: Candidates’ Election Programs
Authors:   Research Center “Americana”, Nelin Timur
Published: September 2021

Introduction. Donald Trump’s policy towards the Latin American region and illegal Latino migrants was often criticized by mass media. Many experts admit that over four years of his presidency U.S. cooperation with Latin American countries was severely “undermined”. This negative trend should have been the subject of discussion of candidates for the U.S. presidential election in 2020. The purpose of the article is to find out what aspects of Trump’s policy towards Latin America were used by the candidates in their campaign statements, for what he was criticized and praised. Methods and Materials. The research is based on the analysis of candidates’ election programs and speeches. Donald Trump’s annual messages to Congress are analyzed as well. The author researches the programs of those candidates who reached the final stage of the 2020 elections and those who were most popular at the beginning of 2020 but lost the primaries. In addition to general scientific research methods, the author uses methods of discourse analysis and comparative analysis. Analysis. Almost all the candidates criticized the policy of Donald Trump in different way. The main issues were President’s approaches to Mexico, Cuba, Venezuela and dealing with illegal immigrants. Trump’s policy didn’t receive explicit approval from any candidate. Among all the contenders for the post of U.S. President, only Joe Biden offered a more or less developed plan for establishing relations with the Central America countries. Results. The author showers that main directions of Trump’s policy towards Latin America were not criticized. But the methods of this policy were criticized a lot. Most part of the Latin America region generally fell out of the U.S. foreign policy discourse. And it was almost not represented in the candidates programs and speeches. This suggests that real shifts in the Latin American direction of the U.S. foreign policy will not occur in the coming years.

Authors:   Federal Research Centre The Southern Scientific Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Avakov Pyotr
Published: September 2021

Introduction. A new source on the history of the Bulavin Uprising of 1707–1709 is published: a report of the Azov Governor I.A. Tolstoy to the Ambassadorial Chancery of December 8, 1708, which is stored in the Russian State Archive of Ancient Acts. It was sent in response to a request for an order about the Gulyashiy Chelovek (Freeman Wanderer) Grigory Zaitsev, nicknamed Banshick (Bath Attendant), accused of aiding Kondraty Bulavin. Analysis. Despite the brevity of the presentation, the document is very informative. It contains information about the events that took place in Cherkassk and Azov in June 1708. New details are reported about the organization of the rebel-led campaign against Azov, about Ataman K.A. Bulavin’s hopes for support from the Azov residents and soldiers, about the conspiracy against him in Cherkassk, etc. No less important is the data on how the preliminary investigation of state crimes (participation in a rebellion) was conducted at the Ambassadorial Chancery in the second half of 1708. On the example of the G.K. Zaitsev’s case we see that the investigation, which started because of a denunciation, was carried out in accordance with the norms of procedural law adopted at that time and was accompanied by the collection of evidence. At the same time, the paper is a source of biographical information about the person under investigation, who unwittingly became an agent of the Cherkassk’s conspirators and an informant of the Azov governor. Methods. The publication is prepared in accordance with the applicable rules of archaeography. Results. The published document allows us to verify some other sources introduced into scientific circulation earlier, and extends the knowledge available in science about the culmination of the Bulavin Uprising.

Raw milk quality is one of the most important factor before processing of milk and milk products. It is the main factor which is responsible for deciding the quality of end products. The present study was carried out at the selected BMC centre of a FPO owned dairy unit in Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh. The principal objective of the study was to draw a comparison between BMC standards of NDDB and standards of selected BMC centre. The findings of the study show that there are no major deviations except delay in opening and closing timings for milk collection. As a result preparation time is reduced hindering the efficiency of milk collection process. BMC unit is well-being running manually by operator and switch was being turned off once BMC centre milk temperature touches 40C and starts at 60C, due to this delay in manual cutoff the milk is being crystallized. As per NDDB standards auto mode is recommended so that the BMC switches off automatically once the milk temperature reaches 40C and restarts at 60C at BMC centre.

ABSTRACT: The increasing expansion of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in the Brazilian territory evidences the need for studies focused on the main reservoir of this parasite: the dog. This study aimed to conduct an epidemiological survey in the municipality of Barão de Melgaço, Pantanal region of the state of Mato Grosso (MT), Brazil. Conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and qualitative SYBR®Green real-time PCR (qPCR) were used to diagnose canine VL (CVL) and characterize the factors associated with this infection. Of the 402 dogs that had blood samples collected, 31 presented the parasite DNA, representing a prevalence of 7.71% in the population studied. Positivity indices for PCR and qPCR were 3.48 (14/402) and 7.21% (29/402), respectively. Comparison of the results obtained by both techniques showed moderate agreement (Kappa = 0.5364). Of the independent variables analyzed, presence of clinical signs (p≤0.05) was the only one associated with CVL. Based on this study, we conclude that VL is a circulating disease, with relatively low prevalence, in dogs of Barão de Melgaço/MT, and that the presence of clinical signs is the only variable associated with canine infection.
Menus e Cardápios: os impressos efêmeros e a pesquisa em História da Alimentação
Authors: ABRAHÃO ELIANE MORELLI
Published: September 2021

RESUMO É possível dizer que uma coleção de cardápios evidencia as práticas alimentares e a rede de sociabilidades de personagens públicas? Este artigo aborda esta questão a partir da Coleção Washington Luís Pereira de Souza, que compõe o acervo do Museu Republicano “Convenção de Itu” do Museu Paulista da Universidade de São Paulo. Os cinquenta e sete cardápios preservados pelo ex-presidente da república (1926-1930), as numerosas fotografias que registraram estas celebrações em torno da mesa de jantar, além das notícias publicadas nos jornais, descortinam as escolhas alimentares, os locais, os formatos das reuniões, os motivos dessas celebrações e os convidados, seja por meio dos autógrafos nos menus, seja por conta da descrição dos participantes nos periódicos. Consegue-se, portanto, de forma original compreender aspectos importantes das práticas alimentares, da sociabilidade e do engendramento político no Brasil Republicano.

Published: September 2021

ABSTRACT Objective: To identify the most used social networks and the most consumed contents by women seeking support and further understanding of breastfeeding/breast milk. Data source: An integrative literature review was performed using the Psychology & Behavioral Sciences Collection, MEDLINE Complete, CINAHL Complete, MedicLatina, Academic Search Complete and ERIC databases. The search was conducted in April, 2020. The inclusion criteria were: publications in Portuguese, English or Spanish with several keywords, such as “Breastfeeding”, “Social Networking”, “Social Media”, “Breastfeeding Promotion”, in the title and in the abstract, with the combination of the Boolean operators “AND” and “OR”, in original articles of primary source, which were available in full text and were published between 2015 and 2020. Data synthesis: Out of the 93 articles that were first examined, 10 were used in the descriptive summary. Studies from the United States, Sweden, New Zealand, Brazil, Australia, Indonesia, and Switzerland were included in the review. Women were found to use several social networks, which is facilitated by an easy access to the Internet and to its content through several electronic resources, often using more than one device simultaneously. Most issues were universally recognized as some of the most common reasons for interrupting breastfeeding. Conclusions: The analyzed studies show that women seek to clarify their doubts outside the traditional health services’ environment, using Facebook, apps, websites, online videos, podcasts and e-mail. We stress the importance of these support groups for promoting breastfeeding and the need for health professionals to introduce themselves in social networks to reach mothers.
