Influence of Reestablishing Greater Tuberosity Angle on Patient Outcomes Following Greater Tuberosity Fractures
Authors: Castanheira Andre , Amaro Pedro , Alonso Raul , Pires Luis
Published: September 2024

Purpose: This study aimed to assess whether values of GTA after osteosynthesis of isolated greater tuberosity fractures were associated with worse functional and symptomatic outcomes.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted from 2012 till 2024, including all patients with isolated greater tuberosity fractures who underwent osteosynthesis at a single institution. GTA measurements before and after osteosynthesis were recorded, along with the latest quick Dash score and CONSTANT shoulder score
Results: Thirty-four patients were recruited, with 25 undergoing osteosynthesis with cannulated screws and 8 with anchors. Twenty-two patients self-administered the QuickDash score and completed the Constant–Shoulder score. The average GTA before surgery was 84.2°, which was reduced to 62.2° postsurgery. The average CONSTANT score was 86.8, and the mean Quick Dash score was 7.65. The method of osteosynthesis did not significantly influence the GTA or the QuickDash or Constant scores. Additionally, postsurgery GTA was negatively correlated with the CONSTANT score(r=-0.65, p<0.01).
Conclusions: Patients with isolated greater tuberosity fractures who underwent osteosynthesis experienced a change in the GTA after surgery. However, they achieved satisfactory symptomatic and functional scores postsurgery. The method of osteosynthesis did not significantly influence the GTA or the QuickDash or CONSTANT scores. Furthermore, postsurgery GTA was negatively correlated with the CONSTANT score.

Authors: Gupta Veenu , Eames Catrin , Sharples Brooke , Bryant Alison , Greenhill Beth , Golding Laura , Fisher Peter
Published: September 2024

Purpose The training of clinical psychologists is conducted by clinicians, academics, trainees, service users and carers. Often those working in clinical psychology do so due to their own lived experiences. These stakeholders may require navigating both personal and professional identities in their roles. This study aimed to understand identities within UK clinical psychology training.
MethodFocus groups were used to socially construct and measure identity constructions of groups in clinical psychology training. A social constructionist lens was used to thematically analyse data.
FindingsFour themes were found across groups. Theme 1 identified ‘dynamics of identity’ where personal and professional identities were ‘integrated,’ ‘separated,’ ‘permeable,’ or ‘visible/invisible.’ Theme 2 found the ‘impact of language and labels to rebalance power’, encompassing, ‘expectations and invalidation of a label,’ ‘weight of a label,’ and motivations to ‘rebalance the power.’ Theme 3 constructed ‘learner’ and ‘expert’ identities for each group and Theme 4 found ‘Bridging Them & Us divisions’ by identifying, ‘Feeling Similar and Different,’ and ‘Barriers and Connections.’
Implications and Conclusions This is the first study to use focus groups to socially construct and measure identities in clinical psychology training. The research gives clarity to identities within clinical psychology training and can help bridge Them & Us divisions, promoting effective collaboration across the workforce.

The turnover intention of internal controllers of Vietnamese commercial banks in the context of COVID-19
Authors: Quoc Thinh Tran , Khanh Lam Tran
Published: September 2024

Internal control plays an important role in managing the risks of banking system activities. Controllers are always under pressure from control activities due to the bank’s diverse activities. The resignation of internal controllers is relatively common in commercial banks. It is also a matter of concern for the banking and finance industry, which coordinates economic resources for the country, especially when the internal control period occurs again with the pandemic. The study aims to explore the turnover intention of internal controllers in the context of COVID-19 in Vietnamese commercial banks. The study uses the convenience sampling method to collect data from 339 respondents who are working or worked as internal controllers in commercial banks. The study was surveyed in 2023. The study uses quantitative methods for exploratory factor analysis. Ordinary least squares process the data to test the hypotheses. Some factors affect the turnover intention of internal controllers, such as occupational awareness, employment conditions, office environment, and career opportunities, in the context of COVID-19. The result is a useful resource for researchers to comprehensively understand issues related to the turnover intention of internal controllers in the banking industry. The study supports managers of commercial banks in planning the strategic objectives of human resource stabilization for the stable growth of the banking system.
Consistency conditions for bank efficiency analysis in Ghana: A comparison of parametric and non-parametric techniques
Authors: Akandekumtiim John-Mark , Moyo Busani
Published: September 2024

This paper extends the concept of methodological crosschecking by examining whether bank efficiencies computed by the two frontier techniques, stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) and data envelopment analysis (DEA), are consistent. The study used a panel of 220 unbalanced observations from 27 Ghanaian banks between 2007 and 2016 to estimate cost and technical efficiencies and check for consistency using five criteria: efficiency distribution, ranking, ability to identify best or worst banks, stability of efficiencies, and relationship with accounting ratios. The results suggest that there is no consistency in the way parametric and non-parametric techniques rank or identify the best or worst banks. Also, there exists a weak relationship between the efficiency scores generated by both SFA and DEA and the non-frontier accounting ratios of Ghanaian banks. This suggests that the latter may contain some exogenous variables that make them weak measures of efficiency and should be used with caution, especially for bank supervision. However, the SFA approach yielded efficiency scores that were comparatively more stable over time. Therefore, the study concludes that the SFA approach is more practical and thus more appealing for regulatory purposes in Ghana due to the relatively consistent efficiency scores under the SFA approach compared to those under the DEA.
Structural models of somatisms in the Norwegian language
Authors:   Northern State Medical University, Popova Olga
Published: September 2024

The development of any language has always been the focus of close attention and thorough study in linguistics, especially at different historical stages. The Norwegian language is a good example to trace the development of anatomical terminology based on its historical stages, including Norwegian somatisms as well as those from other languages, mainly Latin and Greek, including the word-forming elements. Starting with Ancient Scandinavian through the period of Christianity, the Hanseatic League and further on, several structural models have been identified and distinguished. Each period is associated with adoption and adaptation (assimilation) of somatisms. The first group includes one-word somatisms of Germanic origin, one-word non-assimilated and assimilated somatisms of Latin or Greek origin. The second and the largest group consists of two-word somatisms formed by compounding according to different models based on different parts of speech (noun, adjective, numeral, and verb) and the word-forming elements. Each element in a collocation is represented by either a norwegianized Latin or a native part. Three-word somatisms are not so numerous in anatomical terminology. Despite its seeming simplicity, compounding is an interesting phenomenon for studying due to many patterns of combining words in the formation of somatisms. Concerning compounding special remarks are made, taking into account combinatory flexibility and plasticity of the Norwegian language, which makes it possible to enrich its anatomical vocabulary at low cost and to use its own language capacity and resources for developing this language segment.
Old Icelandic hel ‘world of the dead, the Dead-Goddess Hel’ in the Younger Edda and the comparison with the Elder Edda
Authors:   Institute of Linguistics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Toporova Tatyana
Published: September 2024

The purpose of this article is a comprehensive study of O.-Icel. hel ‘the underworld; the dead-goddess Hel’ in the Younger Edda, in the prose work of Snorri Sturluson (1222–1225) and a comparative analysis with the corresponding lexeme in the Elder Edda, the Old Icelandic poetic epic (the main manuscript of Codex Regius 2365 of the second half of the 13th century). The material of the Younger Edda allows reconstructing the semantic development of hel (locus) → Hel (its personification, owner). We can state the presence of fundamental similarities, found in this lexeme in the Elder and Younger Edda, manifested in various areas — in the common most frequent cases (gen. and dat.) and the syntactic function of direction realized by the verbs of motion, association with the bottom, synonymous predicates of the subject (to be, to live), extralinguistic details (gates). In the Younger Edda O.-Icel. hel is a hyponym for heimr, that is, it is one of the worlds along with Asgard, Midgard and the World of Giants, while in the Elder Edda this lexeme has the antonym of O.-Icel. heimr, that is, as the kingdom of death, it is opposed to one single concrete world of the living inhabited by people — Midgard, ʽthe middle enclosed spaceʼ. If in the Elder Edda the anthropocentric position dominates in the description of O.-Icel. hel, then theocentrism prevails in the Younger Edda.
Hoffmann traditions in Selma Lagerlöf ’s novel “Gösta Berling’s Saga”
Authors:   Vladimir State University named after Alexander and Nikolay Stoletovs, Koroleva Vera , Pritomskaya Alina ,   Vladimir State University named after Alexander and Nikolay Stoletovs
Published: September 2024

The article focuses on the study of Hoffmann traditions in Selma Lagerlöf ’s novel “Gösta Berling’s Saga”. The features of Hoffman’s poetics in the novel are revealed by using the methodology of the “Hoffman’s complex”, which is an ideological and thematic complex of motives and stylistic techniques inherent in the works by E. T. A. Hoffman. The “Hoffmann’s complex” is manifested in the novel in the problem of the rebellion of the Romantic hero-creator in relation to faith and religion, the problem of the relationship of the Romantic hero with femininity, the opposition of secular and Christian love, the motive of mechanization of man and society in the new capitalist industrial formation. The features of Hoffmann’s poetics were manifested in the novel “Gösta Berling’s Saga” also in the interweaving of Hoffmann’s images (Don Juan (“Don Juan”), Medardus (“The Devil’s Elixirs”) and plots (a defrocked monk, who under the influence of wine as an incarnate temptation, commits crimes and experiences a split of personality (“The Devil’s Elixirs”) and a rebellious Romantic hero in search of an unattainable ideal world in which his disintegrated personality must find consolidation (“Don Juan”). The conclusion sums up that S. Lagerlöf, relying on the plot, problems and images of E. T. A. Hoffman’s works (“Don Juan”, “The Devil’s Elixirs”, “Adventure on New Year’s Eve”), creates the author’s concept of spiritual transformation of personality through Christian love and reconsiders the image of a Romantic hero, transforming it into a new type of Christian Neo-Romantic hero.
Image of the Russian Tsar Peter in the works by Strindberg and other Scandinavian fin de siècle writers
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Lisovskaya Polina
Published: September 2024

The article deals with the image and the characterization of Russia’s tsar Peter the Great in a number of texts by some prominent Scandinavian writers from the turn of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. The main focus is though on a short story “The Great” (English transl. “The Great Czar”) from the collection “Historical Miniatures” (1905) by August Strindberg. Surprisingly enough this text proofs to be an example of a highly apologetic narration of the famous Russian ruler and his doings. In the analysis suggested the reception of Peter is set against the background of Strindberg’s complicated relation to Peter’s foe Carl XII of Sweden, as well as to the Swedish writer’s self-perception within the contemporary literary circles. Moreover, “The Great” proves to be a manifestation of a providential view of history proclaimed by the author. In contrast to Strindberg his fellow nationals Selma Lagerlöf and Verner von Heidenstam suggest a much less complimentary interpretation of both tsar Peter and the time of his rule. On the other hand, the Danish Georg Brandes and Norway’s Knut Hamsun express quite acclamatory, though in the case of Hamsun vaguely based, views of Peter I. This lets us to conclude that the depiction of the monarch by the authors mentioned tells us more about themselves than about the tsar in question.
Reading Karen Blixen in different cultures. “Sailor-Boy’s Tale” (“Skibsdrengens Fortælling”): What is lost and gained in self-translation?
Authors:   Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia, Lomagina Anastasia
Published: September 2024

The paper analyses Karen Blixen’s short story “The Sailor-boy’s Tale”, which opens her collection “Winter’s Tales” (1942), in comparison with the Danish translation made by the author in the same year. The Danish text is considered the result of a process of auto-translation, recoding, and adaptation of the text for the Scandinavian reader. In the Danish version, the prose is more rhythmic and the descriptions are more vivid, which enhances the sensual authenticity. However, allusions to English and American authors and quotations are translated into Danish, which obscures their significance as markers of intertextual dialogue. Additionally, the dialogue with Scandinavian pretexts and paintings familiar to the Danish reader becomes more pronounced.
The end of Frisian freedom by its confirmation: The Frisian Imperial Privilege of Emperor Maximilian I and its background. Part I: The first charters
Authors:   Univerzita Palackeho v Olomouci, Engelbrecht Wilken Willem Karel Hugo ,   Instytut Językoznawstwa WNH,   Katolicki Uniwersytet Lubelski Jana Pawła II
Published: September 2024

The article discusses the history of the only ratified charter that confirmed the so-called Charles Privilege that would have enacted Frisian freedom (a presumably thirteenth-century falsum). This charter was issued by Roman King Maximilian I on 23 September 1493 on request of representatives from the West Frisian territories. This article discusses the background of this privilege. It gives a brief overview of the development of Frisian liberty in its relation to Frisian history. Then the so-called Magnus Legend, being connected with Frisian freedom, is discussed. It discusses briefly the alleged privilege of Charlemagne and the Frisian privileges of Roman King and Count of Holland William II (1248) and the Emperor Sigismund (1417). A sequel of this article is planned for publication in the next issue of Scandinavian Philology. In that paper, a more closely look will be given at Maximilian’s privilege, after which Frisian freedom ended in 1498 for nearly 450 years. It will obtain as well a complete edition of the Latin text of the charter and its English translation.
Artistic Features of Chinese Network Literature on the Example of the Web Novel by Moxiang Tongxiu “The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation” (2016)
Authors:   RUDN University, Ignatenko Alexander V.
Published: September 2024

This paper examines the artistic originality of Chinese online literature and its linguistic features on the example of the novelized cycle of the modern online novelist Moxiang Tongxiu “The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation” (墨香铜臭《魔道祖师》, 2016). The research is interdisciplinary in nature, the focus is primarily on the structural features of poetics, the principles of artistic world modeling and interacting elements of various levels (genre, stylistic, ideological, thematic, figurative, compositional, etc.), as well as some linguistic features associated with the writer’s idiosyncrasy. The text of the work is analyzed not only in its external, formal, but also internal, substantive aspects, a systematic description of the different structural elements is given. The genre affiliation and genre varieties of the work are considered separately, the question is raised about its multi-genre specifics and the simultaneous inclusion of various genre features of such forms as a novel, a web novella, a fantastic narrative, a fairy tale, a xianxia, etc. It is argued and put forward the hypothesis that these signs and their elements rather act not as a genre, but as a local textual effect, which can be point-episodic in nature and/or become the dominant feature of a web work. The analysis of intermediate and intertextual means and features is given. The author’s constant appeal to the ecphrastic technique in writing practice in the synthetic transmission of musical imagery, as well as to the integration of resources and materials of classical Chinese literature as an intertextual means of expressiveness of artistic literature, is proved.

Published: September 2024

The study of Chinese classical poetry in Russia dates back several centuries, it is original, has its own bright, distinctive features, no matter in the period of Imperial Russia, the Soviet Union, or contemporary Russia, it always occupies a unique position in the world’s sinology field. In this article, the spread of Chinese classical poetry in Russia is systematically considered from such aspects as the interaction of translators and researchers, translations and works about poets, writers and their works, as well as translation principles and various aspects of research, originality, models of cooperation. This article points out that the study of Chinese classical poetry in Russia attaches great importance to translation, to the exploration of translation principles from the perspectives of rhyme, rhythm, form, paragraphs, tasks, and readers, to the combination of translation, annotation, and research, to the construction of academic terms, and the cooperative mode of poetry translation between Russian sinologists and poets. The paper notes that there are two important goals for Russia and Russian science in translating and researching Chinese classical poetry: firstly, they can serve to enrich national literature and write the history of Russian literature too; secondly, they can be used to introduce Chinese poetry into the context of the development of Russian and world culture. Russian translators and Sinologists-researchers will continue to contribute to the spreading of Chinese poetry and make it a part of world literature.
Orthographic and Morphological Variation of Loanwords in the Arabic Vernaculars
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Antonian Aleksandr S.
Published: September 2024

The present article discusses the key orthographic and morphological modifications that Anglicisms and Gallicisms undergo beyond their adaptation in various Arabic vernaculars. At the level of orthography, the spelling of words with a two-consonant beginning, compound nouns and abbreviations is analyzed. The range of analyzed morphological categories includes gender and number for nouns, voice and mood for verbs. The need for a study is due to insufficient information about the above aspects of the adaptation of borrowings in Arabic dialects. For a detailed comparative analysis of various approaches to spelling and morphological adaptation, the author uses a questionnaire targeted for the dialect speakers. Based on the answers of 206 respondents from 18 Arab countries, it is concluded that the loanwords introduced via Arabic script preserve the source-language orthography. Borrowed abbreviations in participants’ answers mostly become acronyms. As for the gender of nouns, the participants tend to determine this morphological category relying on semantic analogy and phonetic similarity of endings. In matters of plural formation, suffixation remains the most popular way. However, in the case of inanimate nouns, up to a third of participants’ responses contain broken plurals. An analysis of borrowed verbs showed differences in the approaches of Arabic speakers from the Arab West and East in the adaptation of English and French lemmas and their subsequent conjugation. This circumstance allows us to conclude that the variability in adaptation is related to extralinguistic factors inherent in certain Arabic-speaking communities.
Japanese Agentivity: Linguistic Behavior of Somatic Actants (Based on Corpus Data)
Authors:   HSE University, Strizhak Uliana P.
Published: September 2024

The article analyzes the features of agentive somatic constructions in Japanese based on the material of the author’s parallel syntactically marked Russian-Japanese corpus of examples, where the cases of the inanimate subject’s influence on a person marked for the Japanese cognitive language norm are documented. These cases violate the hierarchical representations of the Japanese and their cognitive ideas about the surroundings. The work describes the uses of somatic words both in the subject and in the object positions with the interpretation of their agentive features, considering their ontological association with a person as the center of action deployment in Japanese. Such kind of the Russian agentive somatic constructions requires transformation when they are translated into Japanese; thus, the linguo-cognitive analysis of Russian-Japanese analogues explains the peculiarities of the agentive use of Japanese somatics in terms of cognitive perception of their semantic and syntactic roles. At the same time, in the object use of somatics their special subspecies are distinguished: additional actants absent in the original text, performing the functions of softening the causative force, introduced in this work as “damping” actants. As a result, the concept of “cognitive depreciation” is introduced into scientific discourse, meaning a softening of the emotional impact, which is necessary in Japanese for the transformation of a cognitively incorrect agentive statement containing a causative anthropologically oriented component with an inanimate subject as a causator. The final goal of the work is to determine the agentive status of Japanese somatics and its interpretation.
A Report to the Ottoman Court about the Russian Army and Navy in the 1730s–1740s.
Authors:   HSE University
Published: September 2024

Since the beginning of the 18th century contradictions in Russian-Turkish relations were becoming more acute; the number and intensity of military conflicts between the two states was noticeably increasing, and their results were becoming more and more unsuccessful for the Ottoman Empire. In this regard, the Sultan’s government preparing for combat operations, had a growing need for information about the state of the Russian troops. One of the channels for obtaining such information were European diplomats who sought to use the weakening Turkish military machine to promote political interests of their own countries. This article deals with the report acquired by the Ottomans, which had been compiled by Woldemar von Löwendahl, a European military commander, lieutenant general of the Russian army in 1735–1743, and later (1747) Marshal of France. The text of the report, which according to its title, had been received from a Swedish ambassador, was translated into Ottoman-Turkish and placed in the document miscellany presumably compiled by the 18th century Ottoman financial official Kesbî (d. after 1798). Kesbî, the author of the historiographical work “İbretnümâyı Devlet” (“Edification of the State”), was at one time engaged in the work connected with preparation for the Russian-Turkish war of 1768–1774. The analysis of the mentioned events and dates allowed us to assume that the document was translated into Ottoman-Turkish in 1763. By that time, its information had already lost relevance. However, it could still give the Ottoman military command the idea of the organization and actions of the Russian army and navy during the war of 1735–1739. From academic point of view, the text is interesting as a source on the history of Turkey’s international relations as well as on the history of the Russian armed forces. In addition, its very presence among Kesbî’s documents is important for describing the personality of this Ottoman official and historiographer.
Imagawa Ryoshun’s Nantaiheiki: Edited with Translation and Commentary. Part 1–2
Authors:   Institute of History, Archaeology and Ethnography of the Peoples of the Far East, Prasol Alexander F. ,   Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: September 2024

The article contains a description, typological characteristics, Russian translation and comments on the Nantaiheiki (Critisism of the Cronicle of Great Peace). Nantaiheiki was written in February 1402 by the Japanese politician and warlord Imagawa Ryoshun. Until now, it has not become an object of study in domestic oriental studies and has no Russian translation. The article analyzes the reasons for writing the manuscript and the goals pursued by its author. The translation of the text allows us to conclude that the Imagawa Ryoshun’s manuscript can be attributed to the medieval genre of family instructions for the military class (kakun, kaho), although it has some features that are not typical for them. Based on the translation, the author singles out three semantic parts in the manuscript: 1) information from the history of the Imagawa and Ashikaga families; 2) a description of the shortcomings of the Cronicle of Great Peace; 3) an explanation of the situation with Ryoshun’s participation in the rebellion of 1399–1400. A comparison of Imagawa’s comments with existing versions of the Taiheiki shows discrepancies in the description of details and allows us to assert that after his death the manuscript was repeatedly rewritten and supplemented. The article concludes that Nantaiheiki contains a reliable description of some fragments of the Imagawa family history and is of interest from the point of view of argumentation and moral assessments of the actions committed by the author himself and his contemporaries. However, it cannot be in any way considered as complete or reliable source representing the main events of the middle and second half of the 14th century.
Genealogy of Sayyid, Shaykh Jamāl al-Dīn al-Gazikumukhi (1788–1867) in the Light of the Newly Discovered Written Source of the 19th Century
Authors:   Dagestan Federal Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Khapizov Shakhban M. , Shekhmagomedov Magomed G. ,   Dagestan Federal Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: September 2024

This article is devoted to the study of genealogy of Dagestani Shaykh of Naqshbandi tariqa Jamāl al-Dīn al-Gazikumukhi (1788–1867) — prominent figure of state Imamat (1829–1859) in the North Caucasus. The newly discovered written source from the late 19th century, which is being introduced into scientific circulation, builds a genealogical chain from Fatima, the daughter of the Prophet Muhammad, to Shaykh Jamāl al-Dīn. The letter also offers his version of the route of his ancestors’ migration from Arabia to Dagestan. This source is a letter written by Shaykh Jamāl al-Dīn’s son to his nephew, the son of his sister Zahidat, who married Shamil, the Imamate leader (1834–1859). He managed to find this information in a document drawn up by his father in the 1840s, when he married his daughter to Shamil. At the same time, the documents on Shaykh Jamāl al-Dīn’s belonging to the Sayyid estate were checked by the Imamat alim board, which had no doubts about their authenticity. The source we study gives the names of the shaykh’s ancestors only up to the beginning of the 17th century, and we reconstructed the rest of the genealogy on the basis of other written sources. The other part of the genealogy we reconstructed on the basis of independent sources. Representatives of this genealogical chain of earlier period in the alternative written sources we could not identify. Based on the results of our study, it is difficult for us to assess the reliability of the entire corpus of information of this source, according to which Shaykh Jamāl al-Dīn was a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad in the 38th generation.
The African Peace and Security Architecture (APSA) Organizational Structure in Context of Implementation of Peace and Security in Eastern Africa
Authors:   RUDN University, Amuhaya Claire Ayuma
Published: September 2024

The African Peace and Security Architecture (APSA) was established in 2002 as a long-term structural response to the peace and security challenges across the continent. Unfortunately, Africa, especially the Eastern Africa region is involved in some of the world’s longest armed conflicts (DRC, Sudan / South Sudan, Somalia). The region is also occupied by states with vast geographical differences from the Horn of Africa countries, Small Island Developing States to majority of the African Great Lakes region states. The African Union (AU), despite its many attempts, has increasingly faced challenges in its work on conflict resolution and maintaining peace on the continent. Several challenges, for example lack of funds to support the institutions, have been cited over the years, however, one that strikingly misses is the organizational structure of APSA. As such, this article, using Eastern Africa region as a case study, seeks to critically analyse the APSA organizational structure. As a result, the author is able to unravel the gaps that exist in the architecture that does not reflect the distinct features of the region. The author concludes that there is an urgent need to restructure the APSA to offer tailor-made solutions to peace and security challenges that face the region.

Purpose: this study aims to analyze the interpretation of the concept ESG in Russian-language publications in the scientometric database of the Russian Science Citation Index. Methodology: the literature review is conducted according to the international PRISMA standard by using frequency, correlation and cluster analysis methods of the keyword corpus. Findings: national researchers interpret the concept ESG primarily from the perspective of enterprise development management and investment decision-making. Since 2019 there has been observed an exponential growth of Russian-language papers which mention the abbreviation ESG, however, this study has not identified any consistent pattern of forming the keywords list. Additionally, no meaningful relationship between the relevant keywords and the paper citation rate is observed. Originality and contribution: this study is an attempt to fill the gap in systematic reviews of the Russian-language scientific literature on the interpretation of the concept ESG and to contribute to its rethinking as regards the management of companies in Russia.
Correlation between phytoplankton dynamics and hydrometeorological factors in the Three Gorges reservoir area tributary

Published: September 2024

Phytoplankton blooms in reservoir areas’ rivers are a research problem of wide interest. To assess the influence of hydrometeorological factors on the occurrence and development of phytoplankton blooms in the Xiangxi River, a major tributary of the Three Gorges Reservoir. We employed the generalized additive model (GAM) and Random Forest importance analysis to evaluate the impact of hydrometeorological factors on phytoplankton dynamics. The findings revealed that river flow in the Xiangxi River is the most crucial factor affecting phytoplankton, with a significant decrease in phytoplankton observed when the flow exceeds 100 m3/s. At the Xiakou station within the perennial backwater area, phytoplankton exhibited correlations with river flow, temperature, solar radiation, and wind speed, with decreasing levels of importance. At the Pingyikou station and the Zhaojun station within the dynamic backwater area, phytoplankton was correlated with river flow, solar radiation, and precipitation. Furthermore, an increase in wind speed at the Xiakou station was significantly positively correlated with an increase in phytoplankton, suggesting that wind speed plays a promoting role in phytoplankton aggregation in the perennial backwater area. These results underscore the significance of hydrometeorological factors as key determinants in assessing the occurrence and development of phytoplankton blooms. This research provides valuable insights for phytoplankton blooms prediction and warning systems.

Bakery products are in great demand among Indonesians today. Therefore, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) of bakeries have an essential role in creating products that are guaranteed to be halal and safe, following regulations in Indonesia. This research aims to design a Halal Good Manufacturing Practice (HGMP) assessment model for “X” Bakery to improve product quality. HGMP integrates the criteria of Indonesia's Halal Assurance System, called Sistem Jaminan Produk Halal (SJPH), and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). The Quality Function Deployment (QFD) method evaluates company performance based on HGMP criteria and translates it into technical responses. The Pareto diagram determines the priority of HGMP criteria and technical responses. The identification results show 56 valid HGMP criteria for “X” Bakery, consisting of location and environment, buildings, facilities, employees, production, and storage. Implementing the assessment model at “X” Bakery resulted in 40 HGMP criteria that needed improvement and 12 technical responses that needed to be prioritized in meeting the HGMP criteria. This HGMP assessment model is hoped to help “X” Bakery improve the quality of halal, safe, high-quality products.
How to End the Territorial Conflicts in Georgia: An International Law Based Mediation Proposal for Abkhazia and South Ossetia
Authors: Lundstedt Tero
Published: September 2024

In this article, I present a proposal for an international law-based formula to mediate territorial conflicts, and apply it to the separatist cases in Georgia. While the situation there is notably more stable than in some other post-Soviet conflicts (i.e., Russia and Ukraine, Armenia and Azerbaijan), it is important to note that these ‘frozen conflicts’ can become quickly unfrozen and heat up in violent aggression. Thus, while a ceasefire between the conflicting parties has held for 14 years, the conflicts in Georgia need a definitive political solution that is simultaneously based on a legally solid compromise. In this article, I use my formula to propose such a compromise to the Georgian territorial questions that fit into the contemporary international legal framework concerning territory. Naturally, any realistic solution will require concessions on every stakeholder. In short, the formula offers for Georgia the return of its territorial integrity, for Abkhazia internal self-determination in the form of a meaningful territorial autonomy, for South Ossetia a recognition of a set of strictly limited cultural and language rights, and for Russia a position as a guarantor state. All these proposals are based on international law.
Dialogue in Silence: Inter-American and Brazilian Protection of the Human Rights of Older Persons
Authors: Onuma Tatiana Tomie
Published: September 2024

As society needs to face ageing as a plural process that goes beyond biological and chronological aspects, it is recognised that it also has societal, political, judicial, and psychosocial changes and consequences. Imposing a social clock of expected normative behaviors, understanding older persons as inactive citizens and mere objects of legal protection instead of social actors and specialised human rights’ holders is a critical problem to be confronted in the upcoming years as the global population becomes older. This article aims to comparatively analyse the legal aspects of the protection of older persons in the Brazilian and Inter-American legal framework, perceiving a movement of dialogue in silence, opposing moments of resistance and periods of adequacy between international and national jurisdiction, allowing the analysis of how it impacts the enforcement of these rights. In order to evaluate this phenomenon, this article analyses bibliographic and legislative material, focusing on a human rights-based approach of older persons and an older persons perspective. Firstly, it discusses the social construct of old age, followed by the comparative analysis of Brazilian and international legal framework on the topic of ageing. Finally, it establishes the contours of the ‘dialogue in silence’ between Brazilian and Inter-American protection of older persons’ rights. Results show that a better cross-fertilisation and dialogical approach is needed, overcoming the legislative resistance and difficulties in implementation of rights and policies relating to older persons.
Responsibility for climate change under the ILC Articles on the State Responsibility of States for International Wrongful Acts (ARSIWA)
Authors: Klein Adrian Leonhard
Published: September 2024

The Articles on the Responsibility of States for International Wrongful Acts (ARSIWA) create a framework for the attribution of state responsibility for internationally wrongful acts. There is ongoing legal and academic discussion of whether the ARSIWA can be applied to environmental issues. The Climate Crisis is one of the most pressing contemporary issues. The purpose of this paper is to determine whether the ARSIWA can be applied to the issue of climate change. The results of the research are that responsibility for the causes and impacts of climate change can be attributed to individual states under the ARSIWA, resulting in state responsibility for climate change. But that the ARSIWA are not likely to be applied to this area of law until implementation is complete. Overall, this paper identifies significant opportunity for the application of the ARSIWA principles to the issue of climate change.
