The Accounting Features of Agricultural Enterprises
Authors: Varró Timea
Published: January 2023

Agricultural production has a number of special features which essentially distinguish it from other sectors of national economy (industry, building industry, trade, etc.) The general regularities often prevail very specifically. The agricultural production is performed in open areas, exposed to the force of nature, closely connected to the land.
The land has a primary role in farming, and a major part of expenditures are utilised through arable land. The natural and economic attributes of arable land and the inseparably related climate conditions substantially determine the method and success of farming.
Farming specialties often require special accounting solutions which can also be found in the case of agricultural enterprises. The objective of the present paper is to examine the assessment procedures in regard to agricultural enterprises which can be applied in the case of fixed assets.

Use of a novel body mandibular plane (mental foramen–protuberance menti) in analyzing mandibular asymmetry compared with conventional border mandibular plane
Authors: Kim Ho-Jin , Noh Hyung-Kyu , Park Hyo-Sang
Published: January 2023

Objectives

To compare a novel body mandibular horizontal plane (mental foramen–protuberance menti; Body-MHP) with the conventional border mandibular horizontal plane (gonion–menton [Me]; Border-MHP) to assess mandibular body inclination and dental compensation of skeletal Class III patients with and without facial asymmetry.

Materials and Methods

Retrospective data obtained from diagnostic cone-beam computed tomography of 90 skeletal Class III patients (mean age, 21.67 ± 2.93 years; range, 15.0–30.6 years) were divided into symmetry (n = 30) and asymmetry groups (n = 60). The asymmetry group was subdivided into roll (n = 30) and non-roll types (n = 30). The differences in body inclination and dental measurements (distance and angle) according to two mandibular planes (Body-MHP and Border-MHP) were assessed in the groups and subgroups.

Results

Mandibular body inclinations relative to the Body-MHP were not different in the roll-type asymmetric mandible between the sides, while those relative to the Border-MHP were different (P < .001). For the mandibular first molar positions relative to the Border-MHP, the differences in vertical distance between the sides were undermeasured and the inclination differences were overmeasured when compared relative to the Body-MHP.

Conclusions

The Body-MHP demonstrated better bilateral similarity in body inclination compared with the Border-MHP in patients with roll-type facial asymmetry. The novel body mandibular plane ensures an accurate diagnosis for tooth movement and jaw surgery, particularly in the roll-type asymmetric mandible.
Effect of mini-dose ready-to-use liquid glucagon on preventing exercise-associated hypoglycemia in adults with type 1 diabetes
Authors: Aronson Ronnie , Riddell Michael C. , Conoscenti Valentina , Junaidi M. Khaled
Published: January 2023

  

Objective

To determine effect of mini-dose, ready-to-use glucagon on incidence of exercise-associated hypoglycemia (EAH) in adults with type 1 diabetes. 

Research Design and Methods

Individuals initially participated in the in-clinic training phase for which they were randomized to a crossover design: 150 µg glucagon (treatment arm A) or placebo (arm B) subcutaneously, immediately before exercise, plus 50% reduction in continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) basal delivery rate. Completers were then re-randomized in the 12-week outpatient investigational phase: arm A, B, or open-label C, 150 µg glucagon alone. Participants were to undertake their usual aerobic exercise at moderate to high intensity for 30 to 75 minutes in real-world settings. Data were analyzed for incidence of level 1 hypoglycemia based on self-monitoring blood glucose and for various secondary and exploratory endpoints. 

Results

Of 48 participants who completed the training phase, 45 continued to the outpatient phase. For all exercise sessions in the outpatient phase (n=795), incidence of level 1 hypoglycemia was lower in both glucagon arms (A, 12% [P<0.0001]; C, 16% [P=0.0032]) than in the placebo arm (B, 39%). Times below range, in range, and above range from 0 to 300 minutes did not significantly differ among treatment arms. Consumed grams of exercise carbohydrates were lower with glucagon use than with placebo use but did not reach statistical significance (P=0.12). Adverse events were similar among treatment arms. 

Conclusions

Mini-dose glucagon with or without 50% reduction in CSII basal delivery rate may help to decrease EAH incidence in adults with type 1 diabetes.

TREATgermany is an investigator-initiated prospective disease registry. It investigates physician- and patient-reported disease severity (Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI), objective Scoring Atopic Dermatitis (oSCORAD), Investigator Global Assessment, Patient-Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM), Patient Global Assessment (PGA)), patient-reported symptoms (itch, sleep loss, depressive symptoms), therapy courses and dermatological quality of life (DLQI) in moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis with SCORAD > 20. 1,134 atopic dermatitis patients (mean age 41.0 ± 14.7 years, 42.5% females) were enrolled by 40 German recruiting sites (dermatological clinics and practices) between June 2016 and April 2021. The current analysis focuses on itch scores obtained with a numerical rating scale (NRS)) documented for the previous 3 days prior to baseline visit. The results show that 97.2% (1,090 of 1,121) patients experienced itch. Itch severity correlated moderately with severity of atopic dermatitis oSCORAD (rho = 0.44 (0.39–0.48)) and EASI score (rho = 0.41 (0.36–0.46)). A strong correlation was found with self-reported disease severity as PGA (rho = 0.68 (0.65–0.71)), POEM sum score (rho = 0.66 (0.63–0.69)) and dermatological quality of life impairment DLQI (rho = 0.61 (0.57–0.65)). Itch as a subjective complaint is more closely correlated with patient-reported outcomes than with objective assessments by the physician.
TEOLOGIA PÚBLICA: Temos um Longo Caminho a Seguir
Authors: Veliq Fabrício
Published: January 2023

Se quisermos dizer algo sobre teologia política, a questão da teologia pública como uma voz a ser requerida e ouvida na sociedade está em jogo. Embora a teologia pública seja muito comum nos países europeus, essa não é a realidade brasileira. Durante séculos, a teologia foi uma das disciplinas não reconhecidas pelo Ministério da Educação no país e, devido a isso, somente em 1999 que o curso de bacharelado em teologia foi reconhecido, sendo essa uma das razões pela qual a teologia não está presente nas universidades públicas do país e não ter um caráter público na sociedade brasileira. A teologia da libertação possui grande parte de seus teólogos oriundos do Brasil, tem um forte comprometimento político e alguma interação com a sociedade. Essa comunicação deseja mostrar algumas das características da teologia pública no Brasil e tecer algumas considerações sobre esse importante tema na sociedade brasileira.

Authors: Ferraz Chrystiano Gomes , Rangel Dian Henriques
Published: January 2023

O tema da espiritualidade está cada vez mais em destaque, tanto nos círculos religiosos como não religiosos. Tal despertar para esta dimensão humana tão importante se intensificou ainda mais neste período de crise socioeconômica, antropológica e ecológica acentuada pela pandemia de COVID-19, que expôs ainda mais as já evidentes fragilidades, carências e necessidades humanas. Pensando neste contexto, o presente artigo teve por objetivo oferecer uma proposta de espiritualidade cristã partindo da análise das três encíclicas assinadas pelo papa Francisco: Lumen Fidei, Laudato Si’ e Fratelli Tutti. Destacamos as ênfases dadas à espiritualidade cristã de cada encíclica de Francisco, compondo assim uma proposta de espiritualidade que tem como fonte a fé no Deus Criador, que nos conduz ao encontro com o todo da criação e que transborda para o encontro com os outros, favorecendo o estabelecimento de uma Cultura do Encontro como um novo ethos. A esta espiritualidade denominamos Espiritualidade do Encontro.

Authors: Almaghlouth Abdullatif , Almukthar Mohammed , Bohamad Abdullah , Alnajar Hassan , Alamer Mohammed
Published: January 2023

Background: In Saudi Arabia, prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common cancers in men, recently, the cases of PCa have been increasing, and the community has high-risk factors. However, the awareness and the demand for the screening test of PCa is low. This study aimed at assessing the awareness, behavior, and attitude regarding PCa among males in Saudi Arabia who were older than 20 years.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in Saudi Arabia using a self-administered questionnaire for males (Saudi citizens) older than 20 years. Data were collected via social media from June 2022 to August 2022 and received 751 responses. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 22 was used to extract, review, code and analyze the data.
Result: A total of 751 participants completed the survey, and 619 met the inclusion criteria. The majority of them were aged between 20 and 29 years (50.3%), and only 7.9% had a family history of PCa. The majority of participants, 88.9%, did not know about the screening for PCa, while 19.1% knew about it. Further, 67% intend to do prostate screening in the future.
Conclusion: The study found a high awareness level regarding PCa in the Al Ahsa population among which the older individuals had higher knowledge levels than the younger participant.

Published: January 2023

Thyroid nodules (TNs) are a widespread occurrence among adults across the world. While most of the nodules are asymptomatic and only require follow-ups and monitoring by a physician, some nodules grow and cause symptoms associated with cosmetic concerns and pressure in the neck region. However, there is mounting evidence of non-surgical thermal ablation (NSTA) methods for treating benign TNs. Although some medical centers in Saudi Arabia practice such treatment modalities for TNs, studies from these centers have not been conducted comparing the efficacy and cost-effectiveness between conventional surgical treatment and NSTA. In this review article, our main objective was to review the current literature, show the efficacy and affordability of NSTA treatment of TNs worldwide, and compare it to Saudi Arabia's data. This included a review of various NSTA techniques, associated cost implications, pre-treatment and pre-qualification procedures, post-treatment and follow-ups, and the side effects. Clinical review publications related to the non-surgical treatment of TNs were selected. The focus was on large-scale, randomized studies, publications by certified national or international thyroid associations, and peer-reviewed articles on various medical websites such as PubMed. Search criteria were based on keywords: thyroid nodules, thermal ablation, laser ablation, radiofrequency high-intensity focused ultrasound, microwaves, and European Thyroid Association. This study first identified and scrutinized 65 articles from sources such as PubMed and Research Gate and applied the selection, inclusion, and exclusion criteria to narrow down to the final 30 articles that were more relevant to the study area.

The article refers to our study on the integration process of sub‐Saharan African migrants in Switzerland (Geneva and Vaud districts). We considered three dimensions of integration: education and professional insertion; identities and cultural memberships; and the perception of physical and mental health states. Our nonrepresentative sample was heterogenous and composed of 26 young people (14 born in Switzerland or arrived before 6 years and 12 young people arrived after 6 years). The qualitative research methods used were: semistructured interviews with youth, social, health and education professionals and with persons in charge of some sub-Saharan African migrant associations. A questionnaire on physical and mental health was also given to the sample of young people.
Academic Inspiration: Development and validation of an instrument in higher education
Authors: Ventura-León José , Caycho-Rodríguez Tomás , Sánchez-Villena Andy Rick , Peña-Calero Brian Norman , Sánchez-Rosas Javier
Published: January 2023

Introduction.  Inspiration is a concept that is used in different disciplines; however, there is no instrument that measures its impact in the academic sphere. In this sense, the present study aims to develop and validate a measurement instrument for academic inspiration (AIS).Method.  A total of 7,871 university students from different careers from a private university in Lima, Peru participated. Statistical techniques were used for latent variables and the recommendations of the standards for educational and psychological tests proposed by APA, AERA and NCME (2014) were followed for their construction.Results.  The AIS is representative and relevant in the content of its items (Aiken's V> .70). In relation to its internal structure, it is organized into three factors, which are consistent with the theoretical proposal, and it was verified by Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) with excellent adjustment benefits (CFI = 0.98, RMSEA = 0.08, WRMR = 2.44). Furthermore, this structure is invariant according to gender and is conceptually related to variables such as satisfaction (r ≥ .80) and academic commitment (r ≥ 60).Discussion and Conclusion.  The AIS is a measurement instrument that has evidence of validity, factorial invariance, and good reliability of its scores. Therefore, it can be used in future studies in the academic context.

Authors: Salas Román Noelia , Alcaide Risoto Margarita
Published: January 2023

Introducción. El presente estudio examinó el efecto que, tras la aplicación de un programa sobre Inteligencia Emocional, provocaba en la competencia socioemocional y convivencia escolar de los alumnos de Educación Infantil.
Método. Se realizó un estudio cuasiexperimental pretest-postest con grupo control no equivalente. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 346 sujetos, 173 alumnos de 5 años y 173 padres, de cuatro centros escolares de la localidad de Lorca (Murcia). Se aplicó el Programa anual de Inteligencia Emocional 1“EMOTI” (Hurtado y Salas, 2019) y un cuestionario dirigido a alumnos sobre competencia social y otro dirigido a familias sobre convivencia escolar. El análisis de los datos se realizó mediante el paquete estadístico SPSS (versión 25.0).
Resultados. Los resultados muestran que los estudiantes del grupo experimental al que se le aplicó el programa manifestaron menos conductas agresivas, por lo que mejoraron en la competencia social y mejor habilidad para expresar y regular sus emociones, lo que repercutió en una mejora de la convivencia escolar.
Discusión y conclusiones. El presente estudio supone uno de los primeros trabajos desarrollados en una muestra de estudiantes de infantil en los que se analiza el efecto de un programa sobre Inteligencia Emocional y su efecto en la mejora de la competencia social y de la convivencia escolar.

Published: January 2023

Introducción.  El objetivo de esta investigación es contrastar los resultados de la aplicación de un modelo que fortalece la inteligencia emocional mediante el entrenamiento a estudiantes adolescentes entre dos grupos de estudio.
Método.  El estudio se fundamentó en el enfoque cuantitativo de tipo cuasiexperimental con alcance exploratorio en el que participaron 297 adolescentes de 12 a 16 años de cinco instituciones educativas organizados en grupo control y experimental.  El instrumento que se utilizó fue el Inventario de Inteligencia Emocional de BarOn: versión para jóvenes (7-18) años. 
Resultados. El análisis descriptivo demuestra que existe mejoras en las cinco variables del grupo experimental, mientras que en el grupo control se observa decrecimiento en tres variables y en dos un incremento menor. En los análisis se utilizó la prueba ANCOVA para disminuir la heterogeneidad de las muestras y como covariable el promedio en matemáticas. Los resultados de efectos intragrupos e interacción entre grupos confirman que existe diferencias significativas para todas las variables del grupo experimental en el post test.
Discusión y conclusiones.  Con estos hallazgos, este estudio hace una contribución al campo de la educación al verificar que el docente puede fortalecer todas las variables relacionadas con la inteligencia emocional en los estudiantes desde su propia aula, solamente basta con tener un modelo con orientaciones metodológicas para ejecutar el proceso. Además, destacar que incrementar el nivel de las variables de intrapersonalidad, interpersonalidad, adaptabilidad, manejo de estrés y estado de ánimo influye de forma positiva en el bienestar de los estudiantes y en su desempeño.
Scenarios of STR Development in the Logic of Socio-Political Changes (Based on the Materials of Stakeholders' Assessment)
Authors: Vlasova Olga Ivanovna , Shvetsova Anastasiya Vladimirovna
Published: January 2023

The system of secondary vocational education is of strategic importance for the economy, since the quality of training determines the potential of its development. The speed of the emergence of new technologies requires flexibility and structural complexity of educational mechanisms, which is reflected in the decisions of the federal project "Professionalism". The new reality dictates the need for a conceptual understanding of the logic of the development of PDF, the potential and risk-taking of the steps taken and the viability of initiatives. The authors' contribution to the solution of this problem consists in identifying possible scenarios for the development of STR based on the expectations and readiness of stakeholders. The purpose of this article is to analyze possible scenarios for the development of SPE and their assessment from the perspective of key stakeholders – teachers and administrators of training institutions for SPE. Methodology, methods and techniques. The work consists of three main blocks: a theoretical analysis of research on the functioning of the SPO; an empirical part, presented by a description of the author's methodology and data from an expert survey; resulting conclusions containing formulations of basic scenarios for the development of the SPO.  The scientific novelty of the research lies in the development of a methodology for analyzing the state and prospects of the development of SPO by a key stakeholder – training institutions for SPO. Practical significance. Conceptual constructions and the obtained practical data can be taken into account when developing educational strategies, individual results are useful for optimizing the educational process in universities that train personnel for vocational education. Conclusions. Changes in the value basis of vocational education, as well as an increase in the motivation of teachers and masters (not only material, but also at the level of understanding and acceptance of ideas) determine the effectiveness of decisions and initiatives.
The 2022 Sanction Challenges for International Commercial Arbitration and Methods of Resolving them
Authors: Katrovskaya Elizaveta Aleksandrovna
Published: January 2023

The subject of this study is the impact of the sanctions policy imposed against the Russian Federation in 2022 on international commercial arbitration. For that purpose, we analyse the restrictive measures that have had a major impact on dispute resolution in international commercial arbitration involving Russian and sub-sanctioned persons. An important part of the study is an analysis of current practice in this area and the difficulties arising in order to develop recommendations and possible means of overcoming them for the continuation of international arbitration in Russia and access to justice for sanctioned persons. Over recent years, international commercial arbitration has become one of the most common means of dispute resolution, not only abroad, but also in the Russian Federation. However, the international nature of arbitration makes it highly sensitive to sanctions. Since the implementation of anti-Russian sanctions, especially in 2022, it became evident that the field of international commercial arbitration faces inevitable difficulties in terms of cooperation with foreign jurisdictions and its operation in general. The impact of restrictive measures on international commercial relations cannot be overestimated, with the number of cross-border disputes only increasing, which makes international commercial arbitration more than relevant and requires new solutions to overcome existing challenges. The research leads to a number of conclusions: the 2022 sanctions have certainly affected the world of arbitration but have not put an end to arbitration institutions in general; they have led to a global reorientation towards Asian arbitral institutions and a strengthening of Russia's position as a place for arbitration; parties to arbitration proceedings are finding new and successful solutions to the restrictive measures; many foreign jurisdictions are slowly softening their policy towards arbitration.
Monterrey Consensus Two Decades After: Rethinking Foreign Aid Architecture and the Future of Human Development in Africa
Authors: Olowu Dejo
Published: January 2023

Changing scenarios in the second decade of the new millennium make revisiting the questions around aid effectiveness quite critical for understanding current human development challenges in Africa, considering that 2022 marks two decades since the Monterrey Consensus and the adoption of its resultant Declaration. Flowing from this original multilateral endeavour at crystallising a paradigm shift among role actors on the need for new approaches to foreign aid and development planning as well as the concerted efforts at standardising development assistance practices over the past two decades, critical questions emerge: (i) Beyond merely pronouncing new pathways of responses for dealing with the critical issues around aid, has the ‘new’ understanding impacted Africa in any different way? (ii) Could there be more than mere political explanation for the intrigues and divergence surrounding the ever-evolving principles on new aid architecture as propounded by various multilateral actors? (iii) In light of the noticeable contradictions in the approaches of donors and recipient governments to new aid architecture, what implications do these distinctions portend for aid effectiveness in Africa such that will promote human development in real terms? (iv) If development aid is particularly key for the very survival of poor people in Africa, should we not begin to identify more radical designs that will strategically counter-balance the shortfalls of the dominant approach to foreign aid and development planning? This article is an attempt to respond to this plethora of questions, advocating an approach that could transform the landscape of aid architecture and development agenda for Africa.
The Promotion of Access to Justice through the Constitutional Development of the Doctrine of Forum Non Conveniens
Authors: Van der Merwe Marcia
Published: January 2023

South African jurisdictional principles governing cross-border litigation have seen minor development in recent years and as such, remained feudal and anachronistic. It is essential for South African courts to be equipped with the necessary jurisdictional powers to assume and exercise jurisdiction in disputes concerning its own citizens against foreign multinational corporations. This article aims to propose a way forward, centred around the constitutional reform of the South African doctrine of forum non conveniens, in a manner that advances sustainable and equitable legal development, while also simultaneously promoting the principle of transformative constitutionalism and the right of access to courts. To produce sustainable and viable solutions, a comparative analysis of both the principles of private international law and the proposed reform of the doctrine in comparable jurisdictions is undertaken. The effect of any associated international agreements and instruments applicable to these jurisdictions that may have an impact on or insight into the way forward is also examined. It is hoped that this article will result in a meaningful contribution to the discourse on the development of the jurisdictional principles of South African law, to achieve access to justice for all within Southern Africa and the African continent as a whole.
Assessing the Effectiveness of Extradition and the Enforcement of Extra-territorial Jurisdiction in Addressing Trans-national Cybercrimes
Authors: Sekati Phenyo
Published: January 2023

Cyberspace operates on a geographically borderless platform, thus often rendering national laws ineffective in regulating the impact of cyber-related activities outside South African borders. Recognising this issue, South Africa adopted the Cybercrimes Act, which permits the exercise of extra-territorial jurisdiction over trans-national cyber-related offences. The enforcement and effectiveness of extra-territorial jurisdiction and extradition law have, however, proven to be challenging and controversial in the international sphere. Issues such as internet fragmentation, contrasting municipal laws, and uncoordinated regulatory actions across state boundaries have undermined existing provisions regulating trans-national cybercrimes. These issues are furthered by the increased recognition of human rights, such as the right to privacy, which has deterred international cooperation and collaboration as states are subsequently required to subject their own citizens and entities to increased interception and scrutiny. The main thesis of this investigation is aimed at reviewing the practical implications surrounding the enforcement of extra-territorial jurisdiction and extradition law over trans-national cybercrimes. To this end, states are implored to develop both domestic and multilateral cybercrime laws and to improve existing enforcement mechanisms outlined in extradition law and mutual assistance agreements.
Myth and Murder: The African Human Rights System and Persons with Albinism
Authors: Nkrumah Bright Benjamin
Published: January 2023

The African human rights system was born after the adoption of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights in 1981. The document codifies a set of rights to which citizens are entitled, as well as responsibilities to which states must comply. The clarity with which the document calls for adequate protection for Africans was informed by acts of atrocities suffered by the continent’s population, and the possible recurrence of these acts. To this end, the Charter inspired the establishment of monitoring bodies to ensure states do not stray from the document text. Yet, despite the ground-breaking provisions of the instrument and its supporting institutional architecture, a section of the continent’s population continues to bear the brunt of atrocities because of their skin colour. These individuals are Africans with albinism. As the African Charter commemorates its fortieth anniversary, the paper seeks to survey the extent to which the instrument entrenches the rights of these persons and what steps have been taken or ought to be taken to ensure their rights to equality and adequate protection.
Principles of Lexicographic Coverage of the Ulch Language
Authors:   Institute of Philology SB RAS, Gorbunova Viktoriya A.
Published: January 2023

The paper outlines basic principles of compiling the corpora and structuring a vocabulary entry for the prospective Ulch-Russian dictionary. The author presents an overview of the lexicographical materials related to the Ulch language that have been published in the 20th – 21st centuries. The conclusion is drawn that, due to the particular circumstances of the compilation and, sometimes, the intended functions (school instruction, comparative analysis), the existing dictionaries tend to have limited scope of lexicographical data in the entries and non-traditional approach to structuring components. In order to create a bilingual dictionary that covers the lexicon of the nearly-extinct Ulch language as much as possible while providing an appropriate summarization of phonetical, semantical, grammatical and pragmatic features for each lexical unit, a different approach is suggested. The new strategy involves exploring and reworking a number of specific parameters. On the macro-level, issues related to the placement of collocations and phonetic variations of the lexemes, polishing the cross-reference system, discerning the lexical items that can belong to different grammatical classes but lack clear indicators, and organizing homonyms are discussed. On the micro-level, the author drafts out an entry structure consisting of several zones and comments on the contents of each one. In particular, points such as selecting canonical forms, using different types of labeling, properly representing the semantic structure by selecting and grouping the equivalents, illustrating the lexeme’s pragmatic potential remain the focus of discussion.
The Concept of Poverty-Wealth as a Motivational Constant in Russian Literature
Authors:   Institute of Philology SB RAS, Yakimova Lyudmila P.
Published: January 2023

In the wide chronological section and through poetic-semantic analysis of the mane works of the Russian literature (for example, Gogol novel “Overcoat”, “Poor people” of F. M. Dostoevsky, Chehov’s novel “Three years” and Vs. Ivanov’s story “Fertility”) opens the inevitability of social historical motivation of richness-poverty, as well as it’s motif domination in the literature in the sense of the conflict of socially determined and existentially deterministic view of human nature. Primary focus is the wealth of intertextual field of Russian literature, which is caused by motive roll call, creative dialog and writers’ polemics of different generation, which appears as a factor cementing the humanistic orientation of the Russian literature.
Konstantin Lipskerov’s “Eastern” Triolet (“Asia”)
Authors:   Institute of Philology SB RAS, Kulikova Elena Yu.
Published: January 2023

Konstantin Lipskerov’s sonnetized triolet “Asia” from the book of the poems about Turkestan “Sand and Roses” (1916) is considered in the article. The composition of the extended triolet “Asia” is a descriptive picture of the East. The genre supports the meditativeness and emphasized nominative nature of the poems, which don’t have even a single verb (there is only a single gerund “murmuring”). The non-linearity of the lyrical plot of the poem, “reversed moves, radial features, centrifugal and centripetal” (Yu. N. Chumakov) are analyzed. The initially given symmetry of Lipskerov’s 14-line triolet with the refrains removed from each other turns into asymmetry: two verses from the second part are eliminated, repetitions become an ornament framing the lyrical plot. At the same time, they intrude into the main course of the narrative, weaving their own line into it. An intermedial analogy of triolet colouristics with V. Vereshchagin’s Turkestan paintings is carried out. On Vereshchagin’s oriental canvases, and especially in his “Turkestan Series”, as in Lipskerov’s poem, the leading colours are yellow (desert, soil, floor), various shades of pink and blue (sky, temples, palaces, clothing details, etc.). These colours become the symbols of Turkestan.

The paper discusses the problem-oriented approach to the multimodal communication as it is expounded by John Bateman, Janina Wildfeuer and Tuomo Hiippala. The authors claim for the productivity of the approach to the analysis of the contemporary informational communicational system in terms of developing media, i.e. smart- phones, computer games, 3D cinema, VR and AR technologies, etc., which are multimodal by their nature and use. The basic notions associated with multimodality include mode, communication situation, ergodic text with its features of mutability and temporality. The main characteristics of communication situations as an item of the multimodal analysis is the source of information, recipients, conditions of communication and its duration. While interacting, the communication situations bear linear, micro-ergodic, non-mutable ergodic and mutable ergodic types depending on the prevailing way of perception. The authors claim that the most representative results of research of “vague” and unpredictable multimodal objects could be gained by the mixt of quantitative and qualitative methods, including corpus analysis, eye-tracking technics, and computing methods.

The article discusses discursive modifications of a scientific text that arise when it is transformed into an educational text. The main subject of the study is the dictum-mode plan of interaction between two types of discourse and the relationship of dictum and mode in this regard. The main theoretical idea of the article is to identify and describe the dependence of the dictum-mode structure of the educational text on communicative strategies and tactics. Against this background, the determining role of the mode in the transformation of a scientific text into an educational one is substantiated: the mode is included in the author’s target settings, transforming a scientific text into an educational one, and, as a result, determines the content, composition and stylistic characteristics of the educational text.
The significance of R. Jakobson's concept for the study of the category of evidentiality
Authors:   Institute of Philology SB RAS, Ilyina L. A.
Published: January 2023

This paper analyzes the theoretical and linguistic substantiation of the status, semantics, and functions of the verbal category of evidentiality suggested by R. Jakobson in his famous work “Shifters, Verbal Categories and the Russian Verb.” When studying the linguistic-typological classification of verbal categories and their organization in the scientific paradigm of the general linguistic theory of speech activity, the scholar distinguished a separate grammatical category of evidentiality. Its special function in a speech communicative act was identified as “indicating the source of information about the reported fact”, with illustrations of the morphological expression of different variants of the speaker’s evidence of the reported event provided. Jakobson examined the data of the two South Slavic languages, Bulgarian and Macedonian, and also the published descriptions of the indigenous languages of North America. However, of concern is his identification of the “indicated source of information about the reported fact” with the “transmitted fact of the message”, suggesting the morphologically expressed indication of some source of information to indicate the preceding speech communicative act, a previously received message. Jakobson refers to the source of information as “a message from some other person.” However, no explanation is provided regarding the basis and logic of attributing all “sources of information about a reported fact” to a “citation” source. This paper argues the Jakobson’s concept to serve as a theoretical basis for modern studies of the grammatical category of evidentiality. The significance of the verbal category of evidentiality is traced by describing the evidential verbal forms in the Selkup language.
Прозаический фольклор ваховских хантов (к интерпретации современных записей)
Authors:   Institute of Philology SB RAS, Soldatova G. E.
Published: January 2023

The article is devoted to interpreting audio recordings of prosaic folklore made during the expedition to the Khanty of the Vakh river, the group of Eastern Khanty. Twenty-four texts recorded in the Vakh dialect of the Khanty language were translated into Russian by the informants themselves. Russian-language texts are used for genre-plot characterization of samples, and sound recordings are analyzed to reveal the intonation specifics. Several publications of Vakh Khanty oral folklore samples collected during the century were considered, the largest being the collections published in Russian by N. V. Lukina and in Khanty by N. I. Tereshkin and L. E. Kunina. The author summarizes the information on genres and their folk names and briefly describes the plots and characters of folklore prose. Many plots common among the Vakh Khanty are known to the neighboring peoples: Selkups and Kets. Folk tales and non-fairytale prose have been found to be the main types of the Vakh Khanty prose. Non-fairytale prose texts are easily identified by the genre marker, the initial word formulas. All narrations have been found to be intoned in the usual speech manner: melodious performance is not typical for Vakh folktales and non-fairytale prose. No musical episodes sung or performed on musical instruments were found. To some extent, the “musicalization” of folktales and non-fairytale prose is due to the various onomatopoeia. The melodious performance has been found only in the cumulative folktale “Pyut’kyali” (“The Birdie”), with the main intonation of the Khanty telling preserved even in the sounding of the Russian translation.
Khakass folklore in the recordings of V. V. Radlov and N. F. Katanov
Authors:   Khakass Research Institute of Language, Literature and History, Torokova E. S.
Published: January 2023

The paper addresses the 2nd and the 9th volumes of the series “Samples of Folk Literature of Turkic Tribes,” which include the records of V. V. Radlov and N. F. Katanov on Khakass folklore. The 2nd volume of “Samples” comprises 19 heroic tales, two historical legends, and 39 songs recorded by V. V. Radlov from the indigenous population of the Minusinsk and Achinsk districts of the Yenisei province during his scientific expedition in 1863. Khakass texts were published in Sagai, Koibal, Kachin, and Kyzyl dialects. In this study, heroic legends were divided into groups based on plot and theme. The most popular theme is the struggle of the hero against the raids of representatives of the lower world, the khans-conquerors. The second most frequent theme is family and kinship relations (betrayal of the hero’s sister or wife). The legend “Sunu Māttyr” recorded by V. V. Radlov is dedicated to the events of the 18th century. The 9th volume of “Samples” includes Abakan texts collected by N. F. Katanov, with the first section covering his gymnasium works of 1878–1884, the second presenting the expedition materials of 1889–1890, and the third dealing with the works of 1892. The recordings include works of all folklore genres. He was the first to record shamanic folklore of the Khakass. In the same territory where V. V. Radlov had been before, N. F. Katanov recorded texts in Sagai, Beltir, and Kachin dialects. His materials can be the basis for areal studies in the folklore of the Khakass people.
Coil embolization of a pulmonary artery-bronchial fistula associated with intra parenchymal pseudoaneurysm, endovascular approach, and bronchoscopy monitoring – A case report

A 62-year-old man with a heavy background of the right upper lobe squamous cell carcinoma was admitted with massive hemoptysis. Computerized tomography (CT) showed a large right upper lobe lesion with infiltration of mediastinum and airways. A right pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm slightly bulging into the right main bronchus was seen, suspicious for a pulmonary artery bronchial fistula. A combined endotracheal and angiographic approach was done. The right pulmonary artery angiogram showed a now occluded neck to the pseudoaneurysm which was selectively cannulated. Framing and packing coils were deployed. Contrast was endoscopically noted without bronchial bleeding. As the coils were entering the lung parenchyma, packing back to the neck was done carefully. No new bleeding was noted. A bronchial stent was inserted 6 weeks later and one coil protruding into the bronchus was seen. A 3 month CT follow-up did not show any residual pseudoaneurysm. Patient died 3 months after initial procedure of his progressive illness. Only three cases of endovascular management of bronchial-pulmonary artery fistula reported with different techniques including pulmonary artery stenting. Our case is the only one reported treated with only coil embolization. Limited data are available regarding the risk of pulmonary embolism after stenting. Anticoagulation required after stenting increases the risk of bleeding in patients with severe hemoptysis. Management with coils only facilitates further management. This preserves pulmonary circulation in patients with already compromised respiratory function. Coil only embolization of uncommon pulmonary artery bronchial fistula is feasible and facilitates further management as it does not require anticoagulation in patient with recurrent bleeding.
