BOGATYREV AND JAKOBSON’S ARTICLE ON FOLKLORE AS A SPECIAL FORM OF CREATION: HOW IS THAT IN RUSSIAN?
Authors:   Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkinskii Dom), Russian Academy of Sciences, Lurie Mikhail L. ,   European University at St. Petersburg
Published: September 2024

The article is dedicated to the first-ever publication of the Russianauthored text by P.G. Bogatyrev and R.O. Jakobson, “Folklore as a Special Form of Creation”, previously only known in Russian through a translation from German. Based on both published and previously unpublished archival documents (correspondence, meeting minutes, editorial materials), the history of the unfulfilled publication of this theoretical manifesto is reconstructed, along with the discussion responses from Soviet scholars, which Yuri Sokolov planned to carry out in the journal “Artistic Folklore” in 1930. Another part of the article is devoted to textual analysis. The work by Bogatyrev and Jakobson, initially written in Russian and later published in German, allows us to consider its widely known Russian text as a reverse translation. However, the text submitted by the authors to the Soviet journal initially differed slightly from the text intended for translation into German for publication in the Festschrift in honor of Professor Schreiner (1929). In turn, forty years later, the translation from German to Russian (1971) was made not based on this publication but on the second edition of the German text prepared for Jakobson’s collected works (1966). A comparison of the two Russian and two German versions allows us to see how changes accumulated at each stage, resulting in a series of minor but meaningful discrepancies between the original and translated Russian texts of this influential work.
PROBLEMS OF PUBLISHING AND COMMENTING ON RUSSIAN MAGICAL FOLKLORE
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Toporkov Andrei L.
Published: September 2024

In fact, verbal charms represent two different genres and bodies of texts, one of which functions in the oral, folklore tradition, and the other in the “grassroots” handwritten tradition. Accordingly, researchers and publishers of verbal charms are quite clearly divided into two groups: oral verbal charms are mostly dealt with by folklorists, and handwritten verbal charms are dealt with by historians, literary scholars and archaeographers. If the former find their sources in folklore expeditions and in archives that store records of similar expeditions of past years, then the latter study in archives mostly with materials from the 17th – 19th centuries. Verbal charms, on the one hand, include a number of varieties (ritual formulers, apotropaic, verbal charms-prayers, etc.), and on the other hand, texts of other genres are recorded in some manuscripts with them. In this regard, the commentator is faced with the task of identifying the genre nature of the text, which may relate to one of the types of verbal charms or even relate not to the verbal charms themselves, but, for example, to apocryphal prayers. The commentator deals, on the one hand, with individual verbal charms, and on the other, with those hypertext structures in which these verbal charms are included. In the case of oral spells, these are, firstly, other spells that are included in the repertoire of a given performer or local tradition, and secondly, the ritual setting in which the spell is performed. In the case of handwritten verbal charms, the commentator considers the text as part of a specific manuscript and in the context of the available information about its origin and content. One of the challenges facing spell researchers and publishers is to develop a certain standard of scholarly publications that would meet academic requirements in the field of textual criticism and source criticism. To implement the tasks facing publishers of magical folklore extracted from manuscripts of the early modern period, it is necessary to train specialists who could competently engage in field, archaeographic, and publishing work.

Published: September 2024

A new stage in the introduction of artificial intelligence into everyday life in Russia will be the mass introduction of its technologies and products based on it into the public administration system and the government sector. Today, AI is used in most spheres of public life, but its level of development is still not high enough. In that regard, the issues considered in the publication are modern and relevant and can be used at the stages of development and use of AI. The authors clarified the definition of “artificial intelligence”, analyzed the directions of AI development and identified promising areas of the most accelerated technological development of intelligent systems: generative, voice and language, explicable and peripheral AI with characteristics of the stages up to the present. Two main criteria of AI are analyzed: “strong AI” and “weak AI” and their fundamental differences are considered. The article presents results of a brief analysis of the state and plans for the development of AI in Russia. The level of AI implementation in economic sectors reaches 20% and that is not enough to ensure accelerated economic growth. It is assumed that the introduction of AI should provide an additional 1.2% increase in global GDP by 2030, and our country plans to gain more than 11 trillion rubles from its use by 2025. The future of artificial intelligence in Russia was determined by the President of the country at the St. Petersburg International Forum (PEMF-2023). The announced directions will make it possible to unlock the potential of AI more widely and ensure its mass implementation for the formation of Russia’s sovereignty.
Clinical and laboratory factors determining negative outcomes of inpatients with COVID-19 in the Republic of Mordovia: a retrospective single-center study

Published: September 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, had a profound impact on global health, and society and become one of the deadliest in history. Knowledge of risk factors for mortality is critically important in the formation of organizational, methodological and clinical decisions to limit disease progression and reduce the number of fatal outcomes. However, it is still unclear whether generally accepted risk factors can be equally useful in identifying risk groups in a diverse population of patients in small cities.

Aim: To evaluate the utility of demographic, clinical, and laboratory characteristics in the prediction of negative outcome of patients with COVID-19 admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of the multidisciplinary COVID-19 hospital in the city of Saransk.

Material and Methods. Medical records of 153 patients (including 134 recovered and 19 dead) with laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection treated in the intensive care unit of the S.V. Katkov Republican Clinical Hospital between March and December of 2020 were included in this retrospective, single-center, clinical trial. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory characteristics, complications and therapeutic interventions were compared between deceased and recovered patients. The primary endpoint was in-hospital all-cause mortality. Risk factors for mortality were analyzed using logistic regression.

Results. Multivariate regression analysis showed that in the population studied, included both therapeutic and surgical patients, a history of coronary artery disease, chronic non-specific lung disease, acute surgical conditions, plasma creatinine at ICU admission ≥ 106 µmol/L had a negative effect on in-hospital mortality, whereas fever at admission had a protective effect. Patients who died had lower oxygen saturation upon the admission to ICU and were more likely to receive invasive mechanical ventilation and higher doses of dexamethasone in treatment.

Conclusion. The present study identified predictors to mortality of patients with COVID-19, treated in the ICU of a Mordovia Republic hospital (Russia), which were somewhat different from those previously reported for larger cities and indicate a large contribution of concomitant diseases to the negative outcome. We did not identify a significant contribution of many proposed laboratory markers to predicting mortality. These findings may help authorities and clinicians optimize organizational, methodological, and clinical approaches to medical care of patients to reduce the risk of a negative outcome from COVID-19.
Health aspects of the presidential election in the United States
Authors: Edouard Lindsay , Okonofua Friday
Published: September 2024

The prospect of a Biden-Trump rematch had raised concerns. The argument of Trump on the older age of Biden led to a boomerang effect when the latter was replaced by the much younger Kamala Harris whose mixed African and Asian ancestry should lead to her support on international issues. Swing voters might be attracted by her potential as the first female president. Assertive on the politically controversial issue of abortion, Kamala Harris already spent a substantial part of her vice-presidency on women issues. Her promotion of sexual and reproductive rights during the presidential campaign augurs well for restoring those priorities on the American political agenda.

Diapers, being one of the most used items for infant care, it is imperative that they are always free of contamination from microorganisms. The objective of this study is to determine the rate of bacterial contamination and the antibiotics profile of isolated bacteria from unused diapers sold in markets in Enugu Metropolis, southeast Nigeria. The study also investigated the effectiveness of the Nigerian Consumer protection laws towards maintaining the standard of care for infants and toddlers. Fifty pieces of different brands of diapers were sampled for bacterial contamination using standard bacteriological procedures. The results show that out of 50 samples analyzed, bacterial growths were identified in 9 (18%), of which five different bacterial species were isolated. The most prevalent being Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus 3 (33.3%). Other bacteria isolated were Lactobacillus spp, Klebsiella spp, and Streptococcus spp 1 (11.1%). There was no statistically significant difference in the distribution of the bacterial contamination of diapers across the different brands(p>0.05). We conclude that baby diapers sold in markets in Enugu metropolis are prone to contamination with bacteria.We recommend that appropriate measures should be taken during the manufacturing process to reduce or prevent the incidence of bacterial contamination of diapers.

Authors: Sorhie Petekhrienuo
Published: September 2024

Strong traditional elements and ethnic culture comes to life and is made apparent in the crafts, art and practices of its people. Kharu which is a word spoken by the Tenyimia Nagas means ‘Village Gate’. Kharu is not a mere gate but it is a prodigious representation of rich cultural antiquity of the Tenyimia Nagas. The utilitarian aspect of it defines the traditional system of polity, defence mechanism, protection and sovereignty of most of Naga villages. The interest of this paper lies in showcasing and ruminate over the meaning, significance of traditional gates with varied motifs carved on it. The functional as well as the symbolical aspects of the Angami village gate is explicated along with the depiction of various art motifs on it. The paper will etch deep into the carvings of the Angami village gate and give a voice to the art that talks about a people who once upon a time lived in the sublimity of animism. However, the writing also delved into the transitioning times of the Nagas which is having its impact on the pristine nature of traditional practices. The author pens the paper with a concern to record the celebrated Kharu which stands replete with ethno-historical evidences rendering a voice of the past to the present.

Published: September 2024

Advancements in technology have led to the invention of outfits, and the number of devices is increasing every day. Diligence is introducing new devices day by day and prognosticating that 50 billion devices will be connected by 2022. These devices are stationed through the Internet, called the Internet of Things (IoT). The operation of IoT devices is weather prediction, covering surgery in hospitals, identification of creatures using biochips, furnishing shadowing connectivity in motorcars, smart home appliances, etc. IoT devices have limitations related to security at both the software and hardware ends. In the IoT paradigm, Internet-connected embedded devices manipulate sensitive user-related data and require acceptable security results.The security results designed for network-enabled embedded devices must address issues like vacuity and usability, taking into consideration the low computational capabilities and low consumption conditions of IoT appliances. Authentication is the process of vindicating a reality’s identity. Best security practices state that authentication protocol should involve at least two different types of credentials. Authentication in IoT is a bit challenging because the realities involved in the IoT terrain cannot afford to include cryptographic savages which have high computational complexity as in the traditional internet. The most recent secure hash algorithm fashion formalized by the NIST is SHA-3. SHA-3 is fully appropriate to ensure authentication for a sender and receiver transaction. The presented paper includes a deep literature review on IoT security issues and proposes a new modified hash algorithm, which is more efficient in device communication security.

The KNN algorithm facilitates the identification of similar historical cases to predict crop performance and fertilizer requirements for a given set of conditions. Additionally, boosting techniques enhance model performance by iteratively improving predictive accuracy. This research aims to provide farmers with data-driven insights to enhance decision-making, maximize crop yield, and minimize environmental impact through efficient fertilizer usage.

Published: September 2024

The importance of the innovation process and the novelty of the MSME system is one of adding value to MSMEs in the current globalization. One of the innovation processes that need to be carried out is to improve the digitization process of MSMEs. Kulon Progo MSMEs do not have accurate and efficient inventory records, which is one of the causes of inventory management that has not been managed optimally. Based on the problems that occur in Kulon Progo MSMEs, it is necessary to develop a digital-based inventory application in order to minimize product recording errors. Therefore, this study aims to apply digital-based inventory applications to functional beverage products in Kulon Progo MSMEs. This research was conducted in January-June 2024 at one of the MSMEs located in Kulon Progo Regency, Yogyakarta Special Region. The data collection method used uses interviews, observations, and literature studies. While the application development method uses the Waterfall method. the use of AppSheet-based inventory applications in Kulon Progo MSMEs can be implemented properly. After passing the implementation and testing stages, the application can be applied to manage inventory by recording product entry and exit. The application of mixed functional beverage product inventory applications in Kulon Progo MSMEs simplifies the recording process for MSMEs and can be a solution to inventory problems in MSMEs.

The “loneliness epidemic,” a public health crisis characterized by reports of higher levels of social isolation and loneliness, has been attributed to features of modern living, including urbanization and the increase of one-person households. Public library workers are contending with individuals navigating this crisis. Findings are presented from a state-of-art literature review focussed on recent English-language, peer-reviewed studies (n=235) of public library programming, services, technology and policies in the context of trends in the contemporary asocial society. Across published research, public libraries fostered connection through the following means: encouraging feelings of belonging, creating connections through technology, reinforcing cultural identities, creating safe physical spaces, addressing issues of accessibility, creating new educational programming, and creating new recreational/social programming. The findings allow for a reimagining of the roles of public libraries but not without a reckoning about workplace culture and workloads of library staff.

Published: September 2024

This study investigates the use of institutional repositories (IR) for self-archiving journal articles inthe U15 universities as well as the presence of institutional policies and publisher embargos. While 45.1%to 56.6% of publications are available in open access (OA), only 0.5% to 10.7% are found in the IRs. Wefound only three university-wide OA policies, and embargo periods of 12 months or more for 25.6% ofjournal policies. This suggests that IR play a minor role in OA practices, and a need for more policiesrelated to self-archiving and the use of IR specifically.
Community, Context, and Communication: Responses of Canadian Libraries to Difficult Situations Involving Medical Mis- or Disinformation
Authors: Bullard Julia , Mniszak Caroline , Greyson Devon
Published: September 2024

Canadian libraries have traditionally supported and defended intellectual freedom while also being expected to provide communities with trustworthy information in times of personal and collective crisis. Issues of medical misinformation reveal the tension between these two ideals. Library workers face challenges in preparing for and responding to issues with controversial materials, with little guidance on how to navigate this tension and balance the two ideals. In an interview study with 22 Canadian library worker participants, we asked about experiences with navigating these situations. Our preliminary results reveal a range of strategies and considerations at play, ranging from individual incidents to broader policies and power dynamics.

Published: September 2024

Open Data is a concept that is receiving increased attention and support in academic environments, with one justification being that shared data may be reused in further research. But what evidence exists for such reuse, and what is the relationship between the producers of shared datasets and researchers making use of them? This work in progress makes use of dataset citations in the OpenAlex bibliometric database to analyze the relationship between the creators of datasets and authors who cite them, at individual, institutional, and national levels.
The Value of a Diamond: Understanding Global Coverage of Diamond Open Access Journals in Web of Science, Scopus, and OpenAlex to Support an Open Future
Authors: Simard Marc-André , Basson Isabel , Hare Madelaine , Larivière Vincent , Mongeon Philippe
Published: September 2024

Diamond OA journals present a publishing model that is free for both authors and readers, but their lack of indexing in major bibliographic databases such as Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus presents challenges in assessing the usage of these journals. This paper provides a global picture of the coverage of diamond OA journals from the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) in three data sources. Results show their low coverage in WoS and Scopus and higher coverage in OpenAlex, as well as the generally smaller and local scope of diamond OA journals. Understanding the current landscape of diamond OA indexing can assist LIS professionals with advising researchers on avenues they can pursue to find diamond OA published work or choosing journals to publish in to ensure the visibility and accessibility of their research.
(Re)Imagined Black Informational Past: Chicago’s New Negro Intercollegiate Club and the Wonder Books, 1927 & 1929

Published: September 2024

In 1927, the collective of Black students known as the Washington Intercollegiate Club of Chicago went out into their community to collect data about the various components of the Black experience. This research turned into the two editions of the Intercollegian Wonder Book. The Wonder Books present a Black past that notes a time of youth envisioning their communitythrough the lens of the New Negro Movement, galvanizing to uplift and promote a new Black present in Chicago. Our project tracks the impact of the Wonder Books by examining how they have been referenced in research and journalism since their publication.
