Inpatient burden of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in Switzerland, 2003 to 2021: an analysis of administrative data
Authors: Stucki Michael , Lenzin Golda , Agyeman Philipp KA , Posfay-Barbe Klara M , Ritz Nicole , Trück Johannes , Fallegger Angela , Oberle Susanne G , Martyn Oliver , Wieser Simon
Published: September 2024

Background

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a leading cause of acute respiratory infections and hospitalisations in infants (age < 1 year) and young children. Little is known on RSV epidemiology and related inpatient healthcare resource use (HCRU) in Switzerland.

Aim

To explore RSV-related hospitalisations, inpatient HCRU and medical costs in all age groups, and risk factors for infant hospitalisations in Switzerland.

Methods

We used national hospital registry data from 2003 to 2021 identifying RSV cases with ICD-10-GM codes, and described demographic characteristics, HCRU and associated medical costs of RSV inpatients. The effect of risk factors on infant hospitalisation was estimated with logistic regression.

Results

We observed a general increase and biannual pattern in RSV hospitalisations between 2003/04 and 2018/19, with 3,575 hospitalisations in 2018/19 and 2,487 in 2019/20 before numbers declined in 2020/21 (n = 902). Around two thirds of all hospitalisations occurred in infants. Mean (median) age was 118 (85) days in hospitalised infants and 74 (77) years in hospitalised adult patients (> 18 years); 7.2% of cases required intensive care unit stay. Mean inpatient medical costs were estimated at EUR 8,046. Most (90.8%) hospitalised infants with RSV were born after 35 weeks of gestation without bronchopulmonary dysplasia or congenital heart disease. Low birth weight, gestational age and congenital disorders were associated with a higher risk for hospitalisation.

Conclusions

RSV leads to a substantial number of hospitalisations and peaks in hospital capacity utilisation. Measures to protect all infants from an RSV hospitalisation are essential in addressing this public health challenge.

Published: September 2024

Background

Since February 2022, the start of the full-scale war in Ukraine, millions of women and children have fled the country. Vaccination of refugee children is important to protect this vulnerable population from disease.

Aim

We investigate the determinants of vaccination intention in refugee mothers from Ukraine residing in Poland and test the effect of three message frames.

Methods

Participants were randomised into either a control group or one of three intervention groups encouraging vaccination using a specific frame: (i) trust in the Polish health system, (ii) ease of access to vaccination or (iii) risk aversion. Primary outcomes were intention to vaccinate a child in Poland and clicking on a vaccination scheduling link.

Results

The study was completed by 1,910 Ukrainian refugee mothers. Compared with the control group, the risk aversion message significantly increased vaccination intention (adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 2.35, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.25–4.42) and clicking on the vaccine scheduling link (AOR: 1.53, 95% CI: 1.12–2.09). Messages around trust and ease of access did not have an effect. Important determinants of vaccination intention were perceived importance of vaccination (AOR: 1.12 95% CI: 1.01–1.25) and trusting vaccination information official health institutes (AOR: 1.40 95% CI: 1.06–1.83) and social media (AOR: 2.09 95% CI: 1.33–3.27).

Discussion

Using a risk aversion frame highlighting the vulnerability to infection that refugees face resulted in increased vaccination intention and clicks on a vaccination scheduler. Health workers who interact with Ukrainian refugees could use this frame in their vaccination communication.
The Potential of Education Situations with Preschoolers of Different Ages Groups
Authors: Ivakina L.A.
Published: September 2024

The most impotent condition for the development of preschool children is their interaction with other children. In kindergarten conditions, educational situations often arise in which children of different age groups are involved and, as a result, of different ages. That is, the temporary unification of different kindergarten groups of the same age to solve educational problems. The subject of this study is these educational situations with preschoolers of different ages. The purpose is to characterize the potential of their use in preschool educational organization. The theoretical and methodological foundations of this process and historical prerequisites that can be used in the development of partial educational programs of preschool education for children of different ages are revealed. The empirical experience of the author and teachers of kindergarten № 121, kindergarten № 22 in Lipetsk during 17 years is presented. The purposeful guidance of teachers in educational situations with children of different age groups ensures that the interested and educational needs both younger and older children are respected. The conclusions are formed: the interaction of children of different ages has a positive effect on both groups of children. Older preschoolers learn to make decisions, be independent and responsible. Younger children adapt more easily to kindergarten conditions, learn knowledge faster and develop skills in all educational fields. General recommendations for teachers on the organization of educational situational with children of different age groups in preschool setting have been developed and presented. The authors characterized the potential of using educational situations with preschoolers of different age groups as effective opportunities for organizing the pedagogical process in a preschool educational organization. The results of the study will be of interest primary to teachers-practitioners of preschool educational and students of specialized specialties, as they describe the theoretical provisions of pedagogy in the conditions of real long-term kindergarten work.
Towards the Alan-Polovtsian-Mongolian Mythogenealogical Parallels
Authors: Gabuev A.K.
Published: September 2024

It is known that the nomadic peoples of the steppe zone of Eurasia have left a noticeable mark in the history of our country. One of the important topics in the field of science devoted to the nomadic people is the topic of reconstruction of the spiritual culture of these peoples. The pagan beliefs of the ancient nomads, rooted in the primitive era, were reflected, among other things, in the field of ethnogenealogical myths. One example illustrating such a phenomenon is a story left by medieval authors, telling about the military agreement between the Mongols and the Kipchaks, who were allies of the Alans. The reason for such an agreement was the “common origin” of two ethnic groups - Mongolian and Kipchak. Having pushed the Polovtsians to an agreement, the Mongols deprived the Alans of their allies and defeated them in another battle, subsequently attacking the Kipchaks themselves. The proposed article attempts to identify the basis of this kind of agreement, which, in the author’s opinion, has a direct connection with the ethnogenealogical views on the origin of the ruling families of three peoples - Mongolian, Kipchak-Polovtsian and Alan. In one case - for Monogols and Kipchaks-Polovtsians - it took place to be common, whereas in the other - for Mongols and Alans - it was different. This story is also of interest in the context of the spiritual culture and religion of the Alans, one of the ancestors of the Ossetian people. Folklore and ethnographic material also complements such a plot and to a certain extent confirms the assumptions made by the author. All this, in turn, allows us to reconstruct certain aspects of the spiritual culture of the peoples who did not leave behind an authentic written history, such as the Alans and Kipchaks-Polovtsians, whose history we know only thanks to foreign sources.

Authors: Churakova A.V.
Published: September 2024

The innovative nature of educational change implies new approaches to the training of future educators. An educational event, as a form of organizing the interaction of the subjects of the educational process, is a way out of the usual way of life of an educational organization. Physical culture and sports event, as one of the types of educational event, is a mechanism of design and a way of forming the educational environment of the university, an element of the system of organization of activities of future teachers in the sports and event environment of the university. The aim of the study is a theoretical analysis of professional formation of future teachers in the sports and event environment of the university. We faced the following tasks: to formulate the concept of “sports and event environment”, to define its characteristics and to identify the possibilities of sports and event environment for the professional formation of future teachers. In order to achieve the stated goal and solve the set tasks, we analyzed scientific and methodological literature that reveals the issues of education based on the event approach and the current legislation of the federal level, as well as regulatory documents governing the educational process of higher education institutions. The formation of the personality of the future teacher and his professional development takes place throughout the entire training at the university. The presence of high-quality sports and event environment is a necessary component of the educational process. Sports and event environment, aimed at significant for the future of the teacher, professional events, becomes the mechanism of professional development through a specially created system of organization of activities of future teachers. It has a subjective value and forms a conscious aspiration to personal achievements, having the potential of personal development in terms of a value-oriented attitude to future professional activity. The findings obtained during the theoretical analysis point to the possibility of professional formation of future teachers in the sports and event environment of the university.

Authors: Shor I.M.
Published: September 2024

Public-private partnership (hereinafter – PPP) plays an important role in ensuring energy conservation and improving energy efficiency. At the same time, the key places in the implementation of such a partnership are occupied by a concession agreement, a PPP agreement (municipal-private partnership, hereinafter - MCHP), an energy service contract and a life cycle contract. In turn, this causes increased interest in studying the modern practice of using such forms of classical and quasi-PPP. The above together predetermined the purpose of the study – to identify and analyze the key areas and potential of using forms of classical and quasi-PPP in the field of energy conservation and energy efficiency. The methodological basis of the research is based on general scientific methods of cognition of economic processes and phenomena, in particular, methods of comparison, synthesis, analysis, expert assessment and logical methods. As a result of achieving this goal, the following results were obtained: the high demand for the use of PPP in the Russian energy sector was substantiated; a comparative analysis was carried out, key directions were identified and the potential for using forms of classical and quasi-PPP in the field of energy conservation and energy efficiency was assessed, which allowed us to determine priorities and tools for the development of partnership between the state and business in the domestic energy sector. The practical applicability of the materials presented in the article lies in the possibility of their use in decision-making aimed at the effective application of PPP forms in the country’s energy sector.
Environmental Activities in the NO ASSR in the 1980-1990s (Based on Periodicals)
Authors: Magometov A.A. , Khapsaeva D.V.
Published: September 2024

Increasing anthropogenic impact and increase in the scale of environmental pollution cause concern of society, increase of the level of ecological consciousness, activation of ecological movements. These phenomena also become a factor in actualizing the study of the historical experience of environmental protection activities at the regional level, identifying the origins and stages of the origin of the environmental public movement. The article discusses the organization of environmental activities in the SOASSR in the 1980s-1990s. This period is interesting for the dynamism of the socio-political processes that took place. It includes the official and formal environmental activities of the early 1980s, which are characterized by social passivity; the intensification of citizens’ participation in the context of increased criticism and self-criticism as the main trend in socio-political life associated with the change of power at the end of 1982, and “perestroika”, which caused the democratization of society, the actualization of social movements and the inclusion of environmental issues in the political agenda. The purpose of the article is to identify the main stages and trends of environmental activities, to study the prerequisites for the formation of environmental consciousness and the environmental movement. The main source of the research is the materials of the republican periodicals, which were entrusted with the task of promoting nature protection activities. The novelty of the research is caused by the fact that the history of the environmental movement in the region has not been studied, as well as the introduction of materials from the republican periodicals into the scientific circulation. The content analysis of periodicals led to the conclusion that the prerequisites for the public environmental movement began to form in 1983, when, along with the relevant authorities and institutions, public organizations and private initiatives for nature protection appeared. A powerful incentive for the development of the movement was scientific and educational materials, calls for the public to get involved in environmental activities. An analysis of the materials of the “perestroika” independent periodicals, which recognized the fact of constant deterioration of the state of the environment and launched broad discussions around it, contributed to the organization of an informal environmental movement by the end of the 1990s, which was not included in the system of public organizations.
The Constitution of the USSR is a Historical and Cognitive Value or the Possibility of Taking into Account Positive Experience for the Peoples of the Country
Authors: Chedzhemov S.R. , Magometov A.A.
Published: September 2024

2024 is the year of the 100th anniversary of the adoption of the first constitution of the USSR, a state that provided its citizens with unprecedented growth of the national economy, socio-economic indicators and the growth of the cultural potential of all its peoples. It was the Soviet Union that saved Europe, and indeed the whole world, from fascist enslavement. Like any other state, it was founded on certain state-forming principles, which were first formalized in the form of a written constitution adopted after the creation of the Soviet Union in 1922. To analyze the Constitution of the USSR of 1924, an interdisciplinary approach is needed, which will make it possible to make available to the humanitarian thought of mankind the positive aspects of the legal formation of the legal policy of the Soviet Union, which collapsed against the will of its peoples in 1991. The relevance of the work is due to the need to take into account the Soviet and post-Soviet experience of constitutional construction among the peoples of the Russian Federation. The novelty of the work lies in the attempt to analyze the Constitution of the USSR of 1924 in order to identify positive experience for the modern state and legal development of the country. Based on the analysis of primary sources and literature on the topic of the study, the authors consider the problems of the formation of the Basic Law of the USSR, some mechanisms of the functioning of its provisions that determined the daily life of the peoples of the country, its socio-economic potential. Certain analogies are drawn with some similar political and legal events of our time in the country and in the world a
The Russian Strategy for Normalizing Conflictual Relations between South Ossetia and Georgia in the Period of 1992–2008
Authors: Shavlokhov G.K.
Published: September 2024

The article analyzes the key approaches and methods employed by Russia in resolving the Georgian-South Ossetian ethnopolitical conflict. The examined period covers a series of crises and escalations in relations between Georgia and South Ossetia, making this time frame crucial for understanding the dynamics of the conflict. The focus is on Russia’s role in peacekeeping processes, including mediating negotiations and ensuring stability in the conflict zone. Russia acted as one of the key actors by deploying peacekeeping contingents and offering diplomatic formats for negotiations to prevent further armed clashes. The article emphasizes the need to balance Russia’s national interests with international pressure and the internal political processes in Georgia and South Ossetia. Special attention is paid to Russia’s diplomatic and political efforts in de-escalating the conflict, concluding ceasefire agreements, and stabilizing the situation before the military actions in 2008. The article highlights the multifaceted nature of Russia’s efforts in conflict resolution, addressing regional security and international diplomacy. However, the insufficient study of this issue in domestic historiography is noted, leaving some aspects of Russia’s role in conflict resolution underexplored and requiring further scholarly investigation.
Urbanonymic discourse in the aspect of studying territorial identity (a case study of toponymy of the Ural Federal District cities)
Authors: Golomidova M.V. , Dmitrieva A.V.
Published: September 2024

The article is devoted to the research of toponymic representation of territorial identity in northern cities of the Ural Federal District – Uray, Khanty-Mansyisk, Novy Urengoy, Salekhard. The authors turn to the possibilities of a dicursive approach and apply the concept of “urbanonymic discourse”, interpreting it as a set of texts of statements and arguments of the residents themselves, united in a meaningful way by the theme of the city image and its toponymy. The empirical research material was obtained through Internet surveys and expert interviews. The corpus of text material has more than 300 units. During its study, the content analysis method identifies the key characteristics that respondents give to their cities. The motivational features of urbanonyms, reflecting, in the opinion of citizens, local identity, are established by the method of contextual and semantic (onomasiological) analysis. The analysis of the obtained information demonstrates that topical visions of local identity are generally supported by the existing corpus of urban toponyms. Key characteristics that respondents give their cities/towns are reflected in the names of streets, parks and park areas, in monumentonyms and most prominent oikodomonyms. The particularities of motivational semantics of the urbanonyms mentioned in the survey answers as indicative of conveying local identity are the following: reflection of natural and historically natural flair, link with the dominant economic activity (oil and gas extraction industry), keeping the historical memory of local craft activities and people who contributed to the development of territories, meaningful references to languages and cultures of native peoples of the Urals and Siberia. The texts of expert interviews made it possible to confirm the linguacultural functions of urbanonyms and derive recommendations for municipal toponymic policy.
Variability of the harmonization narrative of network communication in media discourse
Authors: Shishkin B.A.
Published: September 2024

This study aims to analyze the variability of the harmonization narrative produced in the process of interaction in new media (social networks, blogosphere, etc.). The empirical material for the study was based on the original posts and comments selected using a stratified sampling method from two frontier regions: North Ossetia-Alania and Dagestan. To achieve this aim, the main trends in the implementation of tactics for harmonizing online communication were identified, which made it possible to determine the main ways of resolving the conflict in the Internet space of the frontier regions. These tactics were analyzed in their connection with the thematic and interpretative vectors in which they are implemented. This further allowed us to reveal the variability of the narrative under consideration. The study is based on discourse, modus, statistic and linguistic analysis. Harmonization tactics were considered in the paradigm of direct dependence of positive communication formation and the promotion of Russian ideas in virtual space. As a result, it is determined that the narrative basis of harmonization is the promotion of Russian civilizational constants, their positive representation and identification with socially significant events. Further analysis of the connection between communication tactics and semantic directions confirms this trend, while demonstrating a high variability of themes (North Ossetia-Alania - 17; Dagestan - 26). All this leads to the functioning of harmonization as a single narrative principle that unites many themes. It is expressed as a complex system surrounding socio-political ideologemes that mark a single civilizational path and are capable of uniting multicultural, multi-ethnic and multi-confessional stratified communities, neutralizing possible conflicts between them. At the same time, the implementation of this narrative is quite variable and includes many themes and sub-themes, differentiated depending on the value systems common in a particular region.
Stylistic polyphony in the literary text
Authors: Lushnikova G.I. , Osadchaia T.Yu.
Published: September 2024

The article examines the principles of stylistic polyphony, which find their original embodiment in a literary text. The most prominent means which create the polyphonic effect are stylistic heterogeneity, multiple points of view, multi-genre format, multidimensional space and time organization, intertextuality. The aim of this work is to study the specifics of stylistic polyphony, analyze its means of realization and resulting effect in literary texts, based on the novel «Cloud Cuckoo Land» by a contemporary American writer Anthony Doerr. The polyphony of the novel is complex and diverse due to the diffusion of linguistic, stylistic and literary forms. The peculiarity of this phenomenon in the novel lies in combination of all polyphony types: genre, compositional, stylistic, with a significant predominance of the latter. The chronotope of artistic worlds, the character image system, plot lines, genre and stylistic features are the markers of polystylistics in the work under investigation. All these elements of different text levels are distinguished by their diversity and heterogeneity: the novel contains the description of distant eras and geographical objects; portraits of dissimilar and unrelated characters acting in different, non-overlapping plots; intertextual references; different linguistic and stylistic techniques of storytelling. However, all these melodies are combined into a single polyphonic work and, despite the apparent heterogeneity, serve to express its main theme. The research methods were hermeneutic, stylistic, genre, structural, compositional, intertextual analysis of the literary text, which made it possible to identify the functions of stylistic polyphony in the work under study and interpret its key ideas. The study has demonstrated that with the help of stylistic polyphony, the author’s intention is realized in a special way; the variety of means emphasizes the significance of the novel’s message and enhances the impact on the reader.

Modern natural language processing tools make it possible to operate with big textual data, but the linguists have not yet fully used these tools to solve their (often highly specialized) issues. This applied research is devoted to the development of the original method of (automatic) analysis of the contextual environment of a given lexical unit in a coherent text based on the corpus approach. The relevance of the study is due to the need to create software for linguistic purposes in Russian Federation, as well as the significant interest shown in the topic of natural language processing and corpus research in our country and abroad. The research is based on the original text of the novel “The Castle” by F. Kafka as well as texts from the online version of the “Spiegel” magazine, collected in July, 2024. Methods of modeling, experiment, corpus analysis, as well as the method of professionally oriented programming are used. As a result, two functions were written for the software complex “Balanced Linguistic Corpus Generator and Corpus Manager”, created at the Laboratory for Fundamental and Applied Issues of Virtual Education at Moscow State Linguistic University, providing the operator with data for evaluating given lexical units, which build a frequency list of the connected tokens. The nature of the connection in the first case is determined by being within the same sentence, and in the second case – by taking into account the multi-level hierarchy “main word – subordinate word” in the sentence. The author comes to the conclusion that the proposed method provides more informative data when analyzing media texts. The algorithms did not reveal errors in the programming code, but in the future they can be improved in terms of the efficiency of selecting the tokens that are significant for the analysis.

The article is devoted to the literary phenomenon of “Chinese tales” created by Viktor Pelevin and his narrative strategies. Combining Russian formalist theory and structural narratology, we divide the “Chinese tales” into three categories: genre, time and narrative focalisation. In the category of narrative genres, we can divide them into three types: novel structure, story plots, and situational units. In terms of temporal order, narratives are divided into interpolated, flashback, and anachronistic narratives. In the category of focalisation, we can divide “Chinese tales” into omniscient-vision, limited-vision and external focalisation. We also analyze some formal characteristics and content of “Chinese tales”. Pelevin extracts typical story units from a large number of Chinese texts and combines them into a chain of “Chinese tales”. In essence, Pelevin’s “Chinese tales” are plot-models that coincide with the stylistic characteristics of the works and a cultural metaphor that has its own innovative mechanism and innovative space. This paper conceptualises the “Chinese tales” in Pelevin’s prose, as well as analyses their philosophical, religious and literary themes. From ‘I Ching tales’, ‘Zen Buddhism tales’, ‘tales of Journey to the West’ we can see Pelevin’s experiments in Eastern postmodernism with Chinese traditional culture as the core. The origin of Pelevin’s ‘Chinese tales’ is to be found in the post-Soviet context, where the all-encompassing wisdom of the East became a tool for the writer to reflect on and deconstruct Russian history. His creations not only contain a distinctly ‘empty’-centric view of ‘contemporary discourse of storytelling, but also serve as a warning to Russia’s path from intercultural perspective.

The article studies the linguistic expression of basic emotions in the modern political media discourse based on the material of the English-language media. The paper aims to identify the verbal expression means of basic emotions on the material of political articles from the English-speaking mass media. This aim is achieved by using the descriptive method, as well as lexical and semantic analysis, lexicographic and content analysis, discursive and grammatical analysis, stylistic and interpretive analysis. The article confirms the hypothesis that in the modern political media discourse lexical and stylistic means of linguistic expression of negative emotions prevail. The scientific novelty of the study is to identify the lexical features of basic emotions’ linguistic expression in the political media discourse in the XXI century. It has been established that along with the names of basic emotions, media texts use numerous synonyms for the names of emotions due to the various stylistic shades that they express. With their help, the addresser creates a certain emotional and psychological atmosphere in the media text, in which the addressee, who does not have critical thinking, forms the point of view necessary for the addresser. As a results of the study, it was revealed that the emotional nature of the presentation of information in media texts prevails over factual, especially in original articles. Theoretically, the results of the study contribute to understanding the role of emotions in political media activities, as well as establishing the connection of language with cognitive processes. Analysis of the verbal expression of emotions in different linguistic cultures allows us to trace how they are expressed and interpreted, and how they affect intercultural communication. In practical terms, the study of verbal expression of emotions in different types of media, primarily in a political media discourse, will create more effective media texts that will meet the needs and interests of both addressers and addressees. Also, the results of the study can be used in teaching courses in media linguistics, political linguistics, psycholinguistics and discursology. The perspective of the study is to identify grammatical and stylistic means of linguistic expression of emotions in the modern English-language political media discourse, i.e. in a comparative aspect.
The world as a competition arena: functions of sports metaphors in modern electronic media.

The study is devoted to the analysis of the functioning of sports conceptual metaphors in modern media texts. The objectives of the study were to analyze the texts of modern central electronic publications (based on newspaper texts of the National Corpus of the Russian Language), identify the main functions of sports metaphors in the media and determine the reasons for the frequent use of sports metaphors by modern journalists. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the appeal to the functional side of sports metaphors, in a broad approach to their main functions, as well as in an attempt to involve elements of psycholinguistic reasoning in determining the reasons that prompt journalists to turn to sports conceptualization. It has been revealed that most often sports metaphors are used in modern electronic media in nominative, figurative, explanatory, expressive, evaluative, aesthetic, pragmatic functions, as well as in the functions of concretization, categorization, and in most cases several functions are combined. It is noted that journalists are attracted by the dynamism and accuracy of sports metaphors, the ability to convey confidence with their help and make information convincing, the ability to depict serious phenomena as a game, people’s behavior as courageous, and themselves as reliable and strong. With the help of sports metaphors, journalists have the opportunity to describe a phenomenon, object, action more economically, briefly, clearly, understandably, optimistically, effectively, solidly, intensely; depict them more definite, convey a sense of the correctness of what is happening, its compliance or non-compliance with the norm. Conclusions are drawn about the strong position of sports metaphors in the collective linguistic consciousness and about their high significance for the world modeling of a modern man.
THE DYNAMICS OF COGNITION IN CLIL: INTEGRATING CONTENT AND LANGUAGE IN THE CLASSROOM
Authors: George Arun
Published: September 2024

Cognition is a critical factor in the effectiveness of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL). In classrooms where subject content drives communication, cognitive development is enhanced through the integration of language and meaningful content. This reciprocal relationship between content and language not only supports language acquisition but also deepens subject understanding. This paper explores the key elements that contribute to successful cognitive development in CLIL classrooms, with a focus on strategies and practices that enhance both content learning and language proficiency.
