Fears of Submarine Sailors during the Great Patriotic War (with Reference to the Battlefield Diaries of Georgy I. Sennikov)
Authors:   Nosov Magnitogorsk State Techical University, Postnikova Yekaterina G. , Lyubetsky Artyom E. ,   Nosov Magnitogorsk State Techical University
Published: December 2020

The purpose of this article is a historical and anthropological examination of the phenomenon of fear, the methods of its manifestation and overcoming in the shadow of war. The authors refer to battlefield and postwar diaries from 1943–1946 of G. I. Sennikov, a submarine sailor of the Northern Fleet, marine electrician of “М-107” and “М-119”. The authors use methods of historiographical and mythopoetic analysis, and the biographic method. In Sennikov’s battlefield diary, the authors observe the sailor’s analytical approach to the problem of fear: his story is not just a documentation and detailed description of the physical signs of horror, but also a classification of the types of fear, exploration of different aspects of a person’s fear at war, and an attempt to get an insight into the essence of this phenomenon. The research reveals that the young sailor perceived the war as a death-defying admission and initiation at the ultimate threshold and is described with the help of archetypical figures: a monster ship, a coffin boat, the sea, etc. The young man who found himself in the extremely harsh wartime conditions identifies such characteristic features of a submarine sailor’s psychology as sailor fatalism, a certain superstitious religiousness (belief in signs, dreams, “marked” spaces and taboos, amulets, and taboo systems). In his diaries, G. I. Sennikov does not only identify superstitious religiousness and ritual activities as the most efficient weapon against fear, but also creativity, laughter, games, and, most significantly, personal values, the authority of commanding officers, and conviction that Soviet submarine sailors fight for the right cause, on the side of the good, saving the world from the horrors of fascism.
Problem of Compensation for American Property in Czechoslovakia in 1945–1948
Authors:   Vyatka State University, Zorin Artyom V.
Published: December 2020

This article explores one aspect of the US policy in Europe between 1945 and 1948. Following World War II, Washington’s increased influence required new mechanisms and ways of behaviour. US diplomacy needed to combine its traditional course meant to protect American interests with the intention of expanding its influence and support democratic governments in the liberated states. However, the policy was accompanied by several serious problems and contradictions, e.g. the US relations with Czechoslovakia concerning the compensation for the nationalised and requisitioned property of American citizens. Conducted to improve and recover its economy within the socialist reforms course, the measures were perceived in the US as evidence of an increased Communist and Soviet influence. The inability of the Czechoslovak government to pay compensation and prolonged negotiations put American diplomats in front of a choice between the protection of their citizens’ property interests and continuing to support pro-Western forces in Czechoslovakia. The weakness of the Czechoslovak economy and its limited financial resources were not accepted by the Americans as a good enough reason for concessions. Washington took a principled stand declaring the need for adequate and effective compensation as a condition for the development of any other relations. It used financial pressure — blocking loans and credits which Czechoslovakia was desperate for. This led to a deterioration of bilateral relations and influenced the decline of popularity of pro-Western political forces in Czechoslovakia, ending with the Communist takeover in 1948, which made compensation impossible for a few decades to come.
Ivan Bunin’s Attraction: The Formation of a Creative Personality
Authors:   Ural Federal University, Prashcheruk Natalia V.
Published: December 2020

This article examines Ivan Bunin’s early work Attraction (1897), whose complete version was first published in 2019. The author demonstrates that the story features a number of attributes related to the portrayal of characters, plot organisation, chronotope, narration, and intertextuality, all of which help compare the young writer’s style with his later works, understand the patterns of his style’s evolution, and trace the genesis of Bunin’s original artistic philosophy and writing manner. The first chapter is a classical exposition and not only is it an example of well-learned lessons of Russian literature, but it also unveils the author’s creative search. It is characterised by compositional completeness, contains a prequel of the main story and a description of the main character, and sets the main plot lines. The first chapter is already indicative of the writer’s style / narrative strategy, which unites lyrical and epic aspects on the one hand and has features of a unique identity on the other. From there on, the writer builds his narrative based on the “manor text” of Russian literature, focuses his attention on the most important features of the text (such as the motif of silence), complementing them with new tonal and semantic shades, and an emphasised and even excessive substantivity of description. The characters’ psychological attributes are original too. Their system and order are akin to the traditional love triangle pattern complicated, however, by depicting the lead character surrounded by female characters, which, aside from the “manor text”, connects this story with Natalie. A wide variety of literary sources as well as the inaccuracy of citation show the future writer’s tendency to “rewriting” quotes, which was to become an important factor of conceptualisation of the author’s thought in Bunin’s creative work. The analysis of the story also shows that the aspiring writer felt free and organically fit the world of Russian literature.

Published: December 2020

Environmental issues are posing a grave challenge to humanity since few decades now. In this regard, the role of United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the international institution coordinating these concern has been an important subject of study. A number of studies since the
very inception of UNEP, have tried to examine and reform its functioning to meet global challenges. The purpose of this paper is to review existing literature on this subject. It summarizes the views of different analysts who have devoted their study to an understanding of the nature, functions
and shortcomings of UNEP. It further combines the recommendations suggested by them in order to strengthen UNEP or to replace it with UNEO. On having observed the arguments meticulously the paper synthesizes reform recommendation. It also tries to address the gap in existing literature that
tends to be arbitrarily tilted towards the study of functions rather that structure of UNEP and makes recommendation for the same as well.

Authors: Fu Edouard L. , Evans Marie , Clase Catherine M. , Tomlinson Laurie A. , van Diepen Merel , Dekker Friedo W. , Carrero Juan J.
Published: December 2020

Background

It is unknown whether stopping renin-angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitor therapy in patients with advanced CKD affects outcomes.

Methods

We studied patients referred to nephrologist care, listed on the Swedish Renal Registry during 2007–2017, who developed advanced CKD (eGFR<30 ml/min per 1.73 m2) while on RAS inhibitor therapy. Using target trial emulation techniques on the basis of cloning, censoring, and weighting, we compared the risks of stopping within 6 months and remaining off treatment versus continuing RAS inhibitor therapy. These included risks of subsequent 5-year all-cause mortality, major adverse cardiovascular events, and initiation of kidney replacement therapy (KRT).

Results

Of 10,254 prevalent RAS inhibitor users (median age 72 years, 36% female) with new-onset eGFR <30 ml/min per 1.73 m2, 1553 (15%) stopped RAS inhibitor therapy within 6 months. Median eGFR was 23 ml/min per 1.73 m2. Compared with continuing RAS inhibition, stopping this therapy was associated with a higher absolute 5-year risk of death (40.9% versus 54.5%) and major adverse cardiovascular events (47.6% versus 59.5%), but with a lower risk of KRT (36.1% versus 27.9%); these corresponded to absolute risk differences of 13.6 events per 100 patients, 11.9 events per 100 patients, and −8.3 events per 100 patients, respectively. Results were consistent whether patients stopped RAS inhibition at higher or lower eGFR, across prespecified subgroups, after adjustment and stratification for albuminuria and potassium, and when modeling RAS inhibition as a time-dependent exposure using a marginal structural model.

Conclusions

In this nationwide observational study of people with advanced CKD, stopping RAS inhibition was associated with higher absolute risks of mortality and major adverse cardiovascular events, but also with a lower absolute risk of initiating KRT.

LOW SOCIAL STATUS, HIGH INDIVIDUAL STATUS: TURKISH TRANSLATORS IN THE STATE AND PRIVATE SECTORS
Authors: COŞKUN Özge , TUNALI Gülfer
Published: December 2020

The translation literature indicates a negative perception regarding the translator status and the translation profession. This study aims to explore how the state and private sector translators’ social, symbolic, cultural capital and translatorial habitus are related to their self-perceptions of status as a professional group in Turkey. With this aim in mind, semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with thirteen translators who work in the state and private sectors in Turkey. The results of the interviews are discussed in the light of Pierre Bourdieu’s key concepts of capital and habitus. According to the findings of the study, translation is not still a fully established profession in Turkey. The findings also indicate that translators don't assign the same value to all the capital forms. Especially the possession of a distinctive cultural capital in an unregulated field leads them to develop a professional habitus of proud, satisfied, committed experts. In light of the qualitative findings this study argues that the social negative narratives regarding the translation profession in Turkey clash with the translators’ personal narratives in terms of their social, symbolic, cultural capital and translatorial habitus.
The Future of Central Asian Countries: Intergovernmental Dialogue or External Management
Authors: Balashova Maria , Popova Yulia , Popova Anna
Published: December 2020

Today's world economy, due to the ambiguity of the consequences of its key trends for economies at different levels of development, carries many contradictions. One of them is the effectiveness of state participation in international structures. In theory, the dialogue of countries at various international forums should help solve the problems of development of their member countries, in fact, for which these structures are created. In practice, however, it turns out that this idea does not always work. In most cases, the leaders of globalization receive maximum benefit from participation in international organizations, while most developing countries experience neutral effects, at the best, and negative effects, at the worst. In this context, the Central Asian region will not be an exception, and its development is in no way facilitated by participation of the countries concerned in international structures. Moreover, their economic situation is aggravated by the use of «soft power» by the world's leading powers, which consider the region concerned not only as a supplier of raw materials but also as unique geo-economic and geopolitical territories.
Age-Sex Structure of Population as One of the Factors of Its Morbidity at the Regional Level
Authors: Shipova Valentina , Berseneva Evgeniya , Makarenko Tamara , Spasennikov Boris
Published: December 2020

Morbidity in a population according to its main classes, groups and specific diseases depends on many factors: economic development and living conditions of the population, the development of a network of healthcare organizations and the availability of basic and specialized types of medical care, the availability of medical personnel and their qualifications, the attitude of residents to their health and timely preventive measures, etc. The article presents a method of assessing the influence of age-sex population structure on the capacity of health care, describes the stages of calculations and gives specific examples. The characteristic feature of the method is the fact that when changing from intensive indicators to coefficients per unit, data in a given age-sex group are considered. For the two territories, which have significant differences in the age-sex population structure, the results of calculations of the number of first-time malignancies and active tuberculosis cases, which can occur only due to the influence of the age-sex population structure, all other factors being equal, are shown. The significant difference in the total estimated figures for the Belgorod region and the Republic of Ingushetia indicates that this factor should be taken into account in the analysis of the activities of medical organizations, planning capacity of health care and availability of medical personnel.

An explanatory design using mixed research methods was used for this study. In the quantitative part of the study, the data were collected from 784 children between the ages of nine to 16 who were selected, via a survey, from 12 regions in Turkey in 2015. The data were compared to 2010 data which used similar sampling method and instruments and which collected from 1018 children. In the qualitative part of the study, 84 participants were interviewed, including two children, two parents, two teachers, and a school administrator from each of the 12 regions. The results showed that the Internet access age for children has gradually decreased and that children's Internet access time has increased. An increase has also occurred in regard in the activities performed by children online, such as social networking and watching online movies or video clips, which adds up to an increase in the entertainment factor related to the Internet for children. A significant increase has also occurred in the number of children who feel uncomfortable when they are not online, seek new friends online, and receive general sexually explicit messages over the Internet due to the long hours that they spend online.

Published: December 2020

The preparation of ICT-Based materials is an integral part of teachers' daily learning and teaching processes. The aim of the study is to work with in-service teachers and a) determine their needs pertaining to ICT use, b) develop an in-service training program for improving their skills in terms of preparing ICT-based educational material c) to implement this program and d) to examine any improvement of teacher skills in this regard. The study has been conducted as action research and was carried out with a study group  of 16 teachers. Findings obtained in the study revealed that teachers' scores on the TPACK-deep scale increased significantly compared to the pre-study. It was also shown that the in-service training activity that was carried out increased the knowledge and skills of teachers about current technologies that can be used in the learning-teaching process, as well as increasing their self-confidence and self-efficacy for developing ICT-based educational material. As they adopted the use of ICT-based educational materials prepared within the scope of in-service training during school courses, teachers have also been shown to report that students’ interest, desire to participate, curiosity and excitement and motivation towards the lesson had increased. On the other hand, teachers who teach lessons with ICT-based educational materials stated that they felt their selves more useful in lessons, their performance increased, and that such materials facilitated the teaching in crowded classrooms.
CURRENT SITUATION OF GRAMMAR SCHOOLS’ LIBRARIES (ON THE EXAMPLE OF EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS OF TOMSK)
Authors:   Tomsk State University (Tomsk, Russian Federation), Lyapkova Anna А.
Published: December 2020

The paper examines the current situation of grammar school’ libraries, which are being trans-formed into library-informational centers. The composition of the library fund is analyzed. The article considers the features of the activity of libraries of General education institutions on the example of libraries of grammar schools in Tomsk. The main areas of activity are defined, such as library lessons, organization of exhibitions, etc. The paper considers the formats of libraries' participa-tion in the educational process and extracurricular activities (organization of events). The representation of grammar school libraries in the virtual spaceis analyzed. The document analysis method was used as the leading method. In general, the representation of libraries on the websites of educational institutions is usually very limited. On some sites, information about libraries is limited to providing brief information about the library or even to having a provision about the library (or library-informational center) as a structural division of the grammar school. The main source of statistical information was the regulations on libraries, open analytical re-ports and reports on self-examination of educational institutions. These documents are presented on the websites of grammar schools. Basic statistical information is provided in open analytical reports and self-research reports. The-se documents determine the current composition of library collections, the volume of the fund of edu-cational and methodical literature, as well as the equipment and capacity of libraries. Open reports, in addition to this information, also contain information about the activities of li-braries: the subject of exhibitions and librarian events. The websites of some grammar schools have provided library work plans, which have also be-come a valuable source of information, since they provide the greatest coverage of the topics and types of events that are held by the library. The regulations on libraries and library and information centers of grammar schools have be-come a source for defining the libraries main tasks, which can be different. The main conclusion to which the author of the article comes: despite the fact that most educa-tional institutions are focused on creating library-informational centers aimed at creating a common information environment, there is a lack of representation of the activities of high school libraries in the virtual space, which is modern and promising.
‘Frankenstein’ protocol for nuclei isolation from FRESH and FROZEN tissue for snRNA-Seq (10x genomics Platform) v1
Authors: G Martelotto Luciano
Published: December 2020

This protocol is the result of the combination of various nuclei isolation protocols for single cell RNA-seq experiments using droplet-based methods, hence the name Frankenstein. Developed to prepare nuclei isolates from small sample sizes (as little as a grain of rice), this protocol uses FACS to identify cell subpopulations based on ploidy (e.g. tumor versus stroma), to ensure that nuclei suspensions are not clumped, and to remove any debris, especially ambient RNA, to help reduce background. The reference protocols can be found in the following papers: Hu, et al., Habib, et al. (2016), Habib, et al. (2017), Lake, et al., and Lacar, et al. This protocol has been validated in the Single-Cell Innovation Lab (UMCCR) and other labs worldwide for single nuclei experiments using 10x Genomics technologies. The protocol has been demonstrated to work successfully with fresh, snap/flash frozen, cryopreserved cells, and cell lines, as well as various solid cancers: pancreas, pheochromocytomas, paragangliomas, breast cancer, lymphoma, xenografts and other samples types. Cardiomyocytes can be really difficult to prepare but we have successfully prepare this. Get in touch for some tips.

Published: December 2020

Background: The maxillofacial as well as orthopedic community have known proximal tibia bone as an abundant, reliable, and safe autogenous bone donor for reconstructive purposes. There have been reports of uncommon complications, mostly resolving seromas and hematomas, and rarely bone fractures following such procedures. Objectives: The authors aim to locate, review, and summarize the evidence concerning the biomechanics of the proximal tibial donor site following graft harvestation. Methods and analysis: Our study will follow the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) Checklist. With the help of a librarian, we will design a search strategy using Boolean features through PubMed, Embase, and Google Scholar using terms like tibia, graft, mechanical, shear, etc, restricted to English language. We will upload the results in EndNote, eliminate the duplicates, and scan the titles for potential inclusion. We will export the chosen titles into Rayyan QCRI website for abstract review and selection of articles for full text review. A summary and a critical appraisal of the extracted evidence will follow. Thestudy protocol is registered in Open Science Framework, https://osf.io/mequ6. Article summary: this study maps and summarizes the available evidence on the biomechanics of donor site following proximal tibial autogenous bone graft harvest.

okuldan 2 öğrenci olmak üzere toplam 18 öğrenci ve biyoloji dersini veren 7
öğretmene uygulanmıştır. Nicel verilerin çözümlenmesinde bağımsız örneklem
t-testi ve tek-yönlü ANOVA testinden yararlanırken, nitel veriler içerik
analizi ile çözümlenmiştir. Yapılan analizler sonucunda öğrencilerin artırılmış
gerçeklik (AG) uygulamalarına karşı olumlu tutum içerisinde oldukları ve AG
uygulamalarına yönelik tutumlarının cinsiyet, okul türü ve günlük ortalama
internet kullanım süresi değişkenleri açısından anlamlı farklılık oluşturduğu
ortaya çıkmıştır. Öğrenci görüşlerinden elde edilen bulgulara göre AG
uygulamaların öğrenci öğrenmelerini kolaylaştırdığı, kalıcılığı arttırdığı,
görsellik sağlaması sebebiyle ilgi çekici olduğu ve öğrencilerin müfredat
içerisinde birçok farklı derslerde de bu tür uygulamaları kullanmak istedikleri
ortaya çıkmıştır. Bununla birlikte öğretmenlerden alınan görüşler çerçevesinde
de derslerde AG uygulamalarının kullanılmasının, öğrencilerin derse yönelik
ilgisinde ve akademik başarılarında artış sağlama, kalıcı öğrenme, araştırma
yapmaya yönlendirme ve müfredata destek olma gibi olumlu durumlara imkân
verdiği görülmüştür.

Psychological Capital of the Organization in the Context of Resource and Socio-Psychological Approaches
Authors: Ermolaeva M.V. , Lubovsky D.
Published: December 2020

Objective. Analysis of the possibilities to supply the parameters of psychological capital with the collectivistic orientation parameter; to analyze the concept of collectivistic orientation.
Background. The transfer of the term “human capital” from economics to psychology required specification and differentiation. The concepts of socio-psychological capital, cognitive social capital, and psychological capital emphasize different facets of the “human factor”, which can be considered as a resource in the broad sense of the word. The interpretations of socio-psychological capital and cognitive social capital are substantially similar. Researchers of cognitive social capital consider it in four aspects (resource, network, economic, and socio-psychological). In this study, the focus is on resource and socio-psychological aspects; the resource approach understands social capital as a combination of real and potential resources of people, the socio-psychological approach studies the content of social capital. At the same time, the analysis of modern approaches to the study of psychological capital indicates the need to include in its structure the parameter of collectivistic orientation, proposed in the scientific school of A.V. Petrovsky.
Methodology. Positive organizational psychology, method of comparative analysis.
Conclusions. In modern social Sciences, the psychological capital of personnel is considered as a system of personal resources, which include self-efficacy, optimism, vision of the future (goal setting) and resilience. Psychological capital is associated with the psychological well-being of staff and the effectiveness of professional activities. The positive relationship between psychological capital and tolerance to uncertainty is revealed. The analysis of ideas about psychological capital in the organizational context has shown that it is appropriate to add to its components a collectivistic focus on interaction with people and the ability to accept goals set from outside as their own. This addition opens up new perspectives for research on psychological capital as an important factor in the development of an organization.

The development capital consists of financial capital, physical capital, human capital, and social capital. Social capital focuses on efforts to empower social relations. The relationship between social capital and ICT, especially the internet, has become an interesting debate. In fact, several studies have been conducted with quite diverse findings. The internet is able to connect people who are far from each other, but on the other hand, it often makes people who are physically close to each other seem far apart. This study aims to examine the effect of internet use on social capital in Indonesia. The data is obtained from the fifth Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS-5). The study found that in general, internet users have lower social capital than non-internet users. Likewise, highly educated people have higher social capital than people with low education. Then, internet users with higher education have higher social capital when compared to internet users with lower education. This means that the use of the internet must be accompanied by the readiness of human resources (digital literacy) in accepting new technology, filtering the flow of incoming information, and educating the public about how to use the internet in healthy, safe, and wise manner.

Authors: Dermawan Alan
Published: December 2020

After being released from prison for the blasphemy case, politician Basuki Tjahaja Purnama has returned to politics and rebuilding his reputation. Using vlog as a medium, Basuki presents a new personality as “BTP” which had more positive attitude than his past self as “Ahok”. This study aims to identify digital storytelling in Basuki's vlog as a form of rebranding activities he undertakes. The research was conducted through critical paradigm with semiotics analysis by Fiske. Data collected from a vlog on “Panggil Saya BTP” Youtube channel. The results showed that Basuki consistently displayed rebranding activities through storytelling in vlogs. The rebranding activity was applied by Basukithrough new name, new logo, and new slogan, which was carried out to replace the negative image of his past. Although there was a lack of technical storyplotting elements, the construction of positive impressions were consistently portrayed by Basuki in his vlog through storytelling, both explicitly through content and implicitly through gestures. The presence of Basuki on Youtube could be an example of the successful adoption of new media in political communication conducted by politicians after experiencing a reputation crisis.
From Constructivist Educational Technology to Mobile Constructivism: How mobile learning serves constructivism?

Published: December 2020

Constructivist theory of learning suggests that individuals construct meaning through authentic experiences and social interactions. Thanks to the ample learning experiences and opportunities for unlimited interaction anywhere, anytime, mobile technologies have given birth to a concept called mobile learning. However, there seems a need to ground mobile learning on constructivist learning principles, i.e. define a new scope for constructivism: “mobile constructivism.” This paper aimed to explore the relationship between constructivism and mobile learning and how they serve each other. To this end, articles which have based mobile learning activities on constructivist learning principles were reviewed systematically. Results were synthesized and discussed under four major themes: the expansive potential of constructivist educational technology, integrating different kinds of constructivism in mobile learning, social consequences of mobile learning; and elemental principles of “mobile constructivism”

Plants have many evolutionary developed adaptation mechanisms to ensure functional flexibility under the influence of environmental factors, including the synthesis of secondary metabolites that perform various functions in response to environmental changes, growth, and development. Further, these changes can be caused by various environmental factors, which include local geo-climatic, seasonal changes, temperature conditions, lighting, and humidity. All of them affect the accumulation of biomass and the biosynthesis of primary and secondary plant metabolites. The formation of secondary metabolites by plants is considered their adaptive ability to cope with the stressful conditions of a changing environment. Within the framework of this study, the biochemical status of Brassica oleracea var. Sabellica, Lactuca sativa, Petroselinum crispum plants were determined when grown indoors under various light spectral composition. To determine the biochemical status, the plants were analyzed for the content of ascorbic acid, provitamin A, carotenoids and proteins, and their antioxidant activity was also determined. Results of the study revealed that the blue part of the light spectrum induces the accumulation of ascorbic acid, provitamin A, carotenoids and protein in all studied species. Further, it was also reported that Kale cabbage has the highest accumulation of ascorbic acid, proteins, carotenoids, and also has the highest antioxidant activity as compared to the other studied species.
