REVOLUTION IN INTERNATIONAL HISTORIOGRAPHY OF THE RUSSIAN ÉMIGRÉS. BOOK REVIEW: PIVOVAR, E.I. (2021), THE WORLD OF RUSSIAN EMIGRES IN THE LATE 20 TH – EARLY 21 ST CENTURY, ALETEIYA, SAINT PETERSBURG
Authors:   Moscow State Regional University, Ershov Vitalii F. , Katagoshchina Mariya V. ,   Russian State University for the Humanities
Published: September 2021

The publication offers a critical review of The World of Russian Émi- grés in the late 20 th – early 21 st century , a Russian monograph in the English lan- guage. The reviewers point out that Efim Pivovar, the author of the monograph, is the founder of a scientific school that pioneered the study of Russian émigrés; furthermore, this is another study in a series of works devoted to the phenome- non. The authors state that Pivovar sees the modern Russian émigrés as part of an institutionally structured and dynamically developing system that aspires to build multilateral interaction with Russia, while boasting a significant potential for international influence in the informational, economic, cultural and scientific and intellectual areas. In particular, the reviewers focus on the methodology and conceptual structure of the study under review; they appraise the effectiveness of the civilisational approach used by the author of the monograph, as well as the author’s interpretation of such complex and ambiguous terms as “Russian Émigrés”, “Russian World”, “Man of the Russian World”, “Compatriot Living Abroad”, etc. The reviewers appreciate the author’s approach, which allows the above concepts to be seen as important elements of Russian public policy. The author is also to be commended for his attempt to use the history of interaction between Russia and the Russian émigrés (especially in the neighbouring states of the former USSR) as a lens through which he considers the issues of interna- tional relations in the Eurasian region. The reviewers conclude by stating that Pivovar’s research qualifies as a relevant interdisciplinary work of high interest to both the academic and the general non-specialist community.
FEATURES OF THE INTERNAL POLITICAL DEVELOPMENT OF KYRGYZSTAN IN THE POST-SOVIET PERIOD
Authors:   Russian Academy of Sciences Institute of Scientific Information on Social Sciences, Kudayarov Kanybek A.
Published: September 2021

Kyrgyzstan, like other states of the post-Soviet space, has passed a challenging path in its development since gaining independence. Three de- cades of the republic’s existence in the new geopolitical conditions revealed the peculiarities of its political, socio-economic and cultural evolution, that distinguish the Kyrgyz Republic from the Central Asian neighbours and other republics of Commonwealth of Independent States. Supporting the concept of the history of the Kyrgyz people while preserving certain traditions of the Turkic nomadic civilization has become a fundamental part of the emerging national identity. Another important feature of building the political system in the Kyrgyz Republic is the attempt to create a Western-style democratic state based on its own experience of implementing “nomadic democracy”. The presence of constant zigzag jumps in the evolution of the political system of the republic (i.e., repeated transitions from the presidential form of government to the presidential-parliamentary form and back) can be traced throughout the existence of post-Soviet Kyrgyzstan. At the same time, it should be noted that the described processes are due to a special geographical location, which ini- tially affects the formation of the corresponding type of economic management. That in turn, affects the political development of the country.
THE LEGAL BASIS FOR LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT REFORM IN RUSSIA AND MOLDOVA
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Sharueva Marina V.
Published: September 2021

The article analyses modern legal methods used by the post- Soviet states to improve the performance of local representative bodies of self-government. The experience of the Republic of Moldova and the Russian Federation in the period after gaining their independence (1991) is used as an example. The author reimagines the formation of the Russian and Moldovan systems of local government, thus showing that the process was attended by a radical breakdown of the former command and administrative structures and by the widespread introduction, too hasty at times, of new forms of the state power and governance, specifically, at the local level. The article delves into the successful and unsuccessful attempts of the Moldovan and Russian leadership to increase the performance of local representative authorities. In particular, the author focuses on identifying, systematizing and conducting a comprehensive analysis of the typical for the post-Soviet states conflicts between different levels of the power and administration, which the author believes are primarily caused by the distribution of power and the management of financial resources. Finally, the author attempts to put in perspective the prospects for the development and performance increase of local representative bodies in Moldova and Russia in the wake of the recent global crisis trends.

Authors: Bungin Burhan , Teguh Monika , Dafa Muhammad
Published: September 2021

Abstract—In cyber community towards the Society 5.0 era, the use of industrial technology 4.0, especially communication media technology plays an important role. The information era causes digital communication media technology to develop very rapidly and encourage the birth of digital media that have real time capabilities and create new media. Currently mass media institutions that are not innovative are experiencing a fall. Then the existence of the construction of reality is also increasingly obscured by the mixing of life in the real world with the virtual world. Therefore, the study wants to criticize the existence of reality in the midst of the development of communication technology that is so fast. This study uses the interview method in collecting data and analyzing it using the narrative method. The results of this study are that in society 5.0 and industrial technology 4.0, a pseudo social reality constructed by communication technology media causes mass media to die, social harmony is confused and even lost, and hoaxes are attacks on harmony.technological advances in industry 5.0 increase above 70%.

ANALISIS KEKUATAN TARIK DAN IMPAK MATERIAL KOMPOSIT POLIMER DALAM APLIKASI FIBERBOAT
Authors: Ruzuqi Rezza , Waas Victor Danny
Published: September 2021

Composite material is a material that has a multi-phase system composed of reinforcing materials and matrix materials. Causes the composite materials to have advantages in various ways such as low density, high mechanical properties, performance comparable to metal, corrosion resistance, and easy to fabricate. In the marine and fisheries industry, composite materials made from fiber reinforcement, especially fiberglass, have proven to be very special and popular in boat construction because they have the advantage of being chemically inert (both applied in general and marine environments), light, strong, easy to print, and price competitiveness. Thus in this study, tensile and impact methods were used to determine the mechanical properties of fiberglass polymer composite materials. Each test is carried out on variations in the amount of fiberglass laminate CSM 300, CSM 450 and WR 600 and variations in weight percentage 99.5% -0.5%, 99% -1%, 98.5% -1, 5%, 98% -2% and 97.5%-2.5% have been used. The results showed that the greater the number of laminates, the greater the impact strength, which was 413,712 MPa, and the more the percentage of hardener, the greater the impact strength, which was 416,487 MPa. The results showed that the more laminate the tensile strength increased, which was 87.054 MPa, and the more the percentage of hardener, the lower the tensile strength, which was 73.921 MPa.

HOW SOIL TEMPERATURE REGIMES CHANGE AS THE CLIMATE WARMS – SHORT COMMUNICATION
Authors:   Department of Agricultural Sciences, Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry, University of Helsinki, Finland, Karvonen Juha
Published: September 2021

Finnish soil temperature regimes have been pergelic, cryic, and frigid, where pergelic is coldest and unsuitable for agricultural use. The study monitored soil temperatures at a soil depth of 50 cm in 2010, 2013, 2016 and 2019 to look at how the soil temperature regimes have changed. Probably, as a result of climate warming the soil temperature regimes in Southern Finland in the Helsinki region at a latitude of 60–61°N have raised from cryic and pergelic to warmer mesic over a period of ten years.

Green areas in cities have a different character. Apart from parks, an important role is played by estate greenery, which, due to its direct presence in the vicinity of buildings and apartments, has an impact on the quality of life and decisions made when buying a flat. The article compares greenery resources in six Wrocław housing estates, built in 1960–2010, i.e. at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. To assess the quality of greenery, an inventory of its resources was made. In order to assess social conditions, a survey was carried out among the inhabitants of the analyzed housing complexes. The greenery of the residential complexes from the 1970s and 1980s is diverse, rich especially in woody species, although it is not consistent in terms of composition. There are often plantings introduced by residents, probably as a substitute for home gardens and an element of "taming" the space. Greenery in the estates from the 21st century has a high aesthetic and compositional value. Plantings of shrubs and perennials prevail. The inhabitants' lack of creativity in planting their own is visible.
Efectos de la ansiedad lingüística ante el aprendizaje del inglés en estudiantes de Magisterio: estudio de caso
Authors: Goñi Osácar Elena , Del Moral-Barrigüete Cristina
Published: September 2021

Este trabajo busca comprender los efectos de la ansiedad lingüística ante el aprendizaje de inglés en los Grados en Magisterio de la Facultad de Educación de la Universidad de Zaragoza (España), mediante un estudio de caso. Se recogieron datos de 63 alumnos y 4 profesoras con cuestionarios, observaciones de aula y un grupo de discusión. Los principales hallazgos revelan que la ansiedad lingüística puede disminuir la calidad y cantidad de producción oral en inglés de los estudiantes ante toda la clase, así como perjudicar su autoestima, autoeficacia y motivación. Un modelo explicativo facilita la comprensión de las consecuencias en el contexto de estudio y entornos similares, y la conveniencia de que este tipo de ansiedad sea abordada en la formación de los maestros.
Relectura de "Le Cid"
Authors: Cisneros Luis Jaime
Published: September 2021

Acierta Saint-Victor cuando advierte que, de héroe nacional en España, Rodrigo pasa a ser el héroe literario de una Francia deslumbrada. La figura de Corneille está tocada de cierto incurable enfatismo, machacante y monótono, más del dominio de lo retórico que de lo poético. A Corneille lo había impresionado vivamente (no cabe negarlo) la primera de las comedias de Guillén, y en ella buscó el modelo para su héroe y la adaptó al teatro de Francia; entendió la obra con un sentido aristotélico, que él mismo admite y confiesa al mostrarse incapaz de concebir cuanto no hubiese pasado por la placa virgen de les sentidos.

Influencias incásicas en la prehistoria chilena
Authors: Mostny Greta
Published: September 2021

La influencia política y cultural del Imperio incásico sobre las entonces existentes civilizaciones chilenas ha sido siempre campo de controversias, mientras que los autores del siglo pasado eran partidarios, de que la gran mayoría de las manifestaciones culturales, en lo que hoy es la República de Chile, se debía únicamente a las influencias llegadas del Perú a través de las conquistas de los Incas, se dejó sentir más tarde otra corriente de opinión, representada ante todo por Ricardo Latcham, de que las influencias del imperio incásico eran altamente sobreestimadas y que se sobrepusieron solamente como última y tardía capa sobre las civilizaciones existentes con anterioridad.
La sucesión monárquica y el co-reinado entre los incas
Authors: Rostworowski de Diez Canseco María
Published: September 2021

Al estudiar el reinado de Pachacutec se ha encontrado una costumbre sucesoria original entre los Hanan Cuzcos: la del co-reinado del príncipe heredero con el monarca inca. Los testimonios europeos sobre este asunto, como sobre la concepción sucesoria de los incas en general, están influidos por sus propias concepciones absolutamente diversas. En tanto que en la Europa renacentista las ideas predominantes al respecto eran las de la primogenituras con sus  correlativas de mayorazgo, árboles genealógicos y ramas mayores y menores en el imperio incaico lo que importaba erala panaca entendida como una entidad formada por la descendencia del monarca, con exclusión del heredero; que a su vez formaría su propia panaca, y en la cual todos los miembros eran iguales sin distingos de ramas mayores y menores. Conviene analizar ahora el origen de estas costumbres en tres etapas: la de las curacas anteriores a los incas, la de la confederación cuzqueña de la primera época y la imperial que se inicia con Pachacutec.
Influencias culturales y expresión personal en "Los Heraldos Negros"
Authors: Coyné André
Published: September 2021

Pora toda valoración posterior de la obra de madurez de Vallejo, es de sumo interés examinar previamente el libro de la juventud que, si bien debe mucho a la estética entonces vigente, inicia al mismo tiempo una ruptura inequívoca con la misma y logra definir un nuevo modo de expresión, por completo liberado de las formas v técnicas modernistas.En su agresiva originalidad Trilce será tributario del esfuerzo de liberación patente a lo largo de Los Heraldos Negros, y mucho más tarde, a pesar del transcurso del tiempo, los Poemas Humanos no desmentirán la intuición primordial del libro de 1918, sino que al contrario cíhondarán en ella con una conciencia agudizada por la proximidad de la muerte.

Resource curse - Wikipedia
Authors: Nguyen Minh-Hoang
Published: September 2021

The resource curse, also known as the paradox of plenty or the poverty paradox, is the phenomenon of countries with an abundance of natural resources (such as fossil fuels and certain minerals) having less economic growth, less democracy, or worse development outcomes than countries with fewer natural resources.[1] There are many theories and much academic debate about the reasons for, and exceptions to, these adverse outcomes. Most experts believe the resource curse is not universal or inevitable, but affects certain types of countries or regions under certain conditions.[2][3] ***** For archiving purpose only *****
Inconsistency between the circulatory and the brain criteria of death in the Uniform Determination of Death Act
Authors: Molina Pérez Alberto , Bernat James L. , Ave Anne Dalle
Published: September 2021

The Uniform Determination of Death Act (UDDA) provides that “an individual who has sustained either (1) irreversible cessation of circulatory and respiratory functions or (2) irreversible cessation of all functions of the entire brain, including the brain stem, is dead.” We show that the UDDA contains two conflicting interpretations of the phrase “cessation of functions”. By one interpretation, what matters for the determination of death is the cessation of spontaneous functions only, regardless of their generation by artificial means. By the other, what matters is the cessation of both spontaneous and artificially supported functions. Because each UDDA criterion uses a different interpretation, the law is conceptually inconsistent. A single consistent interpretation would lead to the conclusion that conscious individuals whose respiratory and circulatory functions are artificially supported are actually dead, or that individuals whose brain is entirely and irreversibly destroyed may be alive. We explore solutions to mitigate the inconsistency.
The 4.2. ka event and the of the Maltese ‘Temple Period’
Authors: Groucutt Huw , Carleton William Christopher
Published: September 2021

The small size and relatively challenging environmental conditions of the semi-isolated Maltese archipelago mean that the area offers an important case study of societal change and human-environment interactions. Following an initial phase of Neolithic settlement, the ‘Temple Period’ in Malta began ~5.8 thousand years ago (ka), and came to a seemingly abrupt end ~4.3 ka, and was followed by Bronze Age societies with radically different material culture. Various ideas concerning the reasons for the end of the Temple Period have been expressed. These range from climate change, to invasion, to social conflict resulting from the development of a powerful ‘priesthood’. Here, we explore the idea that the end of the Temple Period relates to the 4.2 ka event. The 4.2 ka event has been linked with several examples of significant societal change around the Mediterranean, such as the end of the Old Kingdom in Egypt, yet its character and relevance have been debated. We explore archaeological and environmental data from the Maltese islands to elucidate the end of the Temple Period. The Maltese example offers a fascinating case study for understanding issues such as chronological uncertainty, disentangling cause and effect when several different processes are involved, and the role of abrupt environmental change in impacting human societies. Ultimately, it is suggested that the 4.2 ka event may have played a role in the end of the Temple Period, but that other factors seemingly played a large, and possibly predominant, role. As well as our chronological modelling indicating the decline of Temple Period society in the centuries before the 4.2 ka event, we highlight the possible significance of other factors such as a plague epidemic.
Differential expression of tubulin alpha 3d in human epithelial ovarian cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: September 2021

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal gynecologic cancer (1). We performed discovery of genes associated with epithelial ovarian cancer and of the high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) subtype, using published and public microarray data (2, 3) to compare global gene expression profiles of normal ovary or fallopian tube with that of primary tumors from women diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer or HGSC. We identified the gene encoding tubulin alpha 3d, TUBA3D, as among the genes whose expression was most different in epithelial ovarian cancer as compared to the normal fallopian tube. TUBA3D expression was significantly lower in high-grade serous ovarian tumors relative to normal fallopian tube. TUBA3D expression correlated with overall survival in patients with ovarian cancer. These data indicate that expression of TUBA3D is perturbed in epithelial ovarian cancers broadly and in ovarian cancers of the HGSC subtype. TUBA3D may be relevant to pathways underlying ovarian cancer initiation (transformation) or progression.
Concepts for which we need others more: The case of abstract concepts
Authors: Borghi Anna M.
Published: September 2021

The capability to form and use concepts is a core component of human cognition. While all concepts are grounded in sensorimotor processes, more abstract concepts (e.g. “phantasy”) collect more heterogeneous and perceptually dissimilar exemplars; thus, linguistic and social interaction are particularly crucial for their acquisition and use. Due to their indeterminacy, abstract concepts generate more uncertainty than more concrete concepts; hence they induce people to monitor their inner knowledge longer and then to revert to others to ask for information and negotiate the word meaning. We propose that abstract concepts are concepts for which we need others more – other people are essential to acquire, process, and use them. Conceiving them in these terms requires the employment of novel, interactive methods to investigate their representation in use.

Differential expression of dishevelled binding antagonist of beta catenin 3 in human epithelial ovarian cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: September 2021

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal gynecologic cancer (1). We performed discovery of genes associated with epithelial ovarian cancer and of the high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) subtype, using published and public microarray data (2, 3) to compare global gene expression profiles of normal ovary or fallopian tube with that of primary tumors from women diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer or HGSC. We identified the gene encoding dishevelled binding antagonist of beta catenin 3, DACT3, as among the genes whose expression was most different in epithelial ovarian cancer as compared to the normal fallopian tube. DACT3 expression was significantly lower in high-grade serous ovarian tumors relative to normal fallopian tube. DACT3 expression correlated with overall survival in patients with ovarian cancer. These data indicate that expression of DACT3 is perturbed in epithelial ovarian cancers broadly and in ovarian cancers of the HGSC subtype. DACT3 may be relevant to pathways underlying ovarian cancer initiation (transformation) or progression.
Submission to the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Tax and Revenue’s inquiry into Housing Affordability and Supply
Authors: Murray Cameron
Published: September 2021

•There are more, bigger, better, dwellings per capita in Australia in 2021 compared to any point in history.•Multiple government inquiries at all levels over the past two decades have ostensibly sought to find the cause of house prices hidden in the pages of local zoning laws. •Dwellings are assets and are priced based on financial market conditions. •Density (dwellings per unit of land) and the rate of supply (new dwellings per period of time) are conceptually different but often confused in housing supply discussions.•This submission argues that market housing supply has exceeded household demand. State planning systems have flexibly accommodated new supply while regulating the location of different types of dwellings. •Compared to household incomes and rents, the cost of buying a home (measured by mortgage payments) in 2021 is historically cheap. This is due to lower interest rates and is why intercensal homeownership is expected to rise in 2021. However, asset price adjustments will mean that this situation will not persist. •Taxes on property are efficient and fair and do not add to housing costs but rather subtract from property values.•Affordable housing is cheap housing. Cheaper housing means lower rents and prices. Any “affordability” policy that reduces market prices will remove billions in landlord revenues each year, transferring that value to tenants, and trillions in housing asset values, with that value transferred to future buyers. •Fostering parallel non-market housing systems, just as public healthcare provides a non-market medical system, can be an effective way to improve housing affordability. •There are no local, international, or historical examples of planning reforms leading to cheaper housing. Indeed, a Productivity Commission review concluded “given the small size of net additions to housing in any year relative to the size of the stock, improvements to land release or planning approval procedures, while desirable, could not have greatly alleviated the price pressures of the past few years.” (p154)

Lowermost mantle shear-velocity structure from hierarchical trans-dimensional Bayesian tomography

Published: September 2021

The core-mantle boundary (CMB) is the most extreme boundary within the Earth where the liquid, iron-rich outer core interacts with the rocky, silicate mantle. The nature of the lowermost mantle atop the CMB, and its role in mantle dynamics, is not completely understood. Various regional studies have documented significant heterogeneities at different spatial scales. While there is a consensus on the long scale-length structure of the inferred S-wave speed tomograms, there are also notable differences stemming from different imaging methods and datasets. Here we aim to overcome over-smoothing and avoid over-fitting data for the case where the spatial coverage is sparse and the inverse problem ill-posed. Here we present an S-wave tomography model at global scale for the Lowermost Mantle (LM) using the Hierarchical Trans-dimensional Bayesian Inversion (HTDBI) framework, LM-HTDBI. Our HTDBI analysis of ScS-S travel times includes uncertainty, and the complexity of the model is deduced from the data itself through an implicit parameterization of the model space. Our comprehensive resolution estimates indicate that short-scale anomalies are significant and resolvable features of the lowermost mantle regardless of the chosen mantle-model reference to correct the travel times above the D’’ layer. The recovered morphology of the Large-Low-Shear-wave Velocity Provinces (LLSVPs) is complex, featuring small high-velocity patches among low-velocity domains. Instead of two large, unified, and smooth LLSVPs, the newly obtained images suggest that their margins are not uniformly flat.
Feeling Stumped: Investigating Dimensions of Impasse
Authors: Ross Wendy
Published: September 2021

Traditionally insight occurs after an impasse, that is when a problem solver is aware that she does not have the right answer but a new one does not come to mind. This impasse is relieved by a sudden restructuring of the problem to a more helpful one which then leads to a feeling of insight. More recently the role of impasse has been downplayed because qualitative empirical data suggest that it is not an essential part of experiencing insight however this fails to explain what a cognitive state of repeated failure looks like. The current research aimed to disentangle the different dimensions of impasse along motivation lines and shows across two studies that while the feeling of being stuck is a negative predictor of levels of insight, the feeling of being challenged significantly positively predicts insight. These results form the preliminary basis of understanding the phenomenology of impasse and how it interacts with motivational states.
Mindful of Personality Trait Change: Are Treatment Effects on Personality Trait Change Ephemeral and Attributable to Changes in States?
Authors: Stieger Mirjam , Allemand Mathias , Roberts Brent , Davis Jordan
Published: September 2021

Objective: Are treatment effects on personality trait change ephemeral and attributable to change in clinical states? Data of an intervention study was used to examine if change in clinical states (e.g., stress or depression) accounts for change in personality traits and to test whether both changes in traits and clinical states were independently associated with substance use. Method: Seventy-nine substance use patients (Mage = 25.3, SD = 2.7; 35 % female) took part at a 4-week intervention and completed a total of 15 bi-monthly assessments across 28 weeks to measure change in traits and states during and after treatment. Results: The results suggest that participants showed large trait and state changes over time, which happened rapidly with the majority occurring during the first four weeks. Trait and state changes were highly correlated, but not perfectly redundant. Significant variance in personality trait change remained after controlling for change in clinical states. Moreover, both trait and state change independently predicted substance use. Conclusion: Personality trait change occurred relatively fast and was maintained until the last follow-up assessment six months after the end of the intervention. Also, the findings point to the notion that the conceptual distinction between traits and states may not be as important as originally thought.
