‘Refresh your hearts so they might better remember’
Authors: Vignone Joseph Leonardo
Published: January 2025

The education of the medieval Islamic scholarly elite (ulema) required that they memorize and retain countless texts for verbatim recollection throughout their careers. The ulema composed treatises of ethics (adab), in part to describe the resiliences students needed to cultivate in order to cope with the physical and emotional strain of their education. Using such works of adab, this article documents the ulema’s understanding of the role of the heart (qalb, del) and concupiscent spirit (nafs) in memorization from the tenth through fourteenth centuries CE. By the end of the tenth century, the ulema had grown into a discrete class of urban professionals who described the toll exacted by memorization techniques as a virtue of their profession, serving to alienate students from worldly temptations and focus their attentions on learning. They viewed the highly sensitive and apperceptive heart as central to this process, channeling the acquisitive desires of the spirit toward the assimilation of knowledge. While the heart’s sensitive nature and the spirit’s concupiscence were assets in this regard, the ulema also understood that training these faculties for memorization risked exposing their bodies to numerous, unpleasant affective experiences, including intellectual exhaustion, career anxiety, and physical illness. Calls to  balance the ulema’s emotional and physical health against the need to continuously integrate knowledge reached its highest pitch in the wake of al-Ghazali, whose works of adab put forward a popular but strident program of discipline designed to empty the ulema’s spirits of errant desires and maximize the heart’s acquisition of divine knowledge. Works of adab written by the more professionalized ulema of the later medieval period substantially tempered al-Ghazali’s program. These treatises urge students to complement challenging courses of study with reasonable periods of relaxation and self-indulgence, in order to maintain the health of their hearts and spirits. By tracing the ulema’s concern over the emotional health of their class as it professionalized across the medieval period, this article documents how central affective considerations were to medieval Islamic scholarly society.

Resilience and Moderate Values of Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jamā'ah: Key Factors in Enhancing Adolescent Spirituality
Authors: Aini Dewi Khurun
Published: January 2025

Social changes in the Society 5.0 era present challenges across various social, humanitarian, and religious dimensions. This research aims to empirically test the effect of interventions based on resilience and moderate values of ahl al-sunnah wa al-jamā‘ah al-nahḍīyah (Aswaja) on enhancing adolescents’ ultimate intelligence, taking into account gender and educational level. The study involved 40 participants and employed a quantitative experimental method with a measurement scale. Analysis revealed a significant improvement in participants’ ultimate intelligence, meeting high criteria. Parametric test analysis indicated differences in ultimate intelligence outcomes among adolescents based on educational level. The study concludes that both educational level and gender have significant and effective influences on adolescents’ ultimate intelligence results. These findings have important pedagogical and community implications globally, especially concerning sample characteristics such as gender and educational level in relation to adolescent ultimate intelligence. High ultimate intelligence enables adolescents to find life purpose, think critically, and understand the meaning of their existence. The results suggest that the combination of a psychology-based approach and Aswaja religious moderation implemented in Islamic boarding schools has a profound impact on the spiritual enhancement of adolescents, aiding them in addressing radicalism and adapting to changes in the Society 5.0 era.
Regularities of the theory of quasi-geodesic mappings of special parabolic spaces
Authors: Kurbatova Iryna , Konovenko Nadiia , Pistruil Margaret
Published: January 2025

We study quasi-geodesic mappings (QGM) of generalized-recurrent-parabolic spaces f: (Vn, gij, Fih) → (V'n, g'ij, Fih). QGM can be of two types: general and canonical. This article examines the QGM of the general type. Earlier, we considered the fundamental questions of the theory of QGM of generalized-recurrent-parabolic spaces. We proved theorems that allow for any generalized-recurrent-parabolic space (Vn, gij, Fih) to either find all spaces (V'n, g'_{ij}, Fih) on which Vn admits QGM of the general form, or prove that there are no such spaces.
In this article, we constructed a Γ-transformation that makes it possible to obtain from a pair of generalized-recurrent-parabolic spaces that are in a quasi-geodesic mapping, an infinite sequence of pairs of other generalized-recurrent-parabolic spaces, which are also in a quasi-geodesic mapping.

Published: January 2025

The heterogeneity of regions in terms of labour supply, natural and other resources, as well as production and social infrastructure, brings to the fore the need to assess the quality of economic space. To identify the strengths and weaknesses of specific areas and address regional disparities while fostering a more unified economic space, it is necessary to analyse the spatial organization of economic territories. The article discusses the spatial organization of regions in the Ural Federal Okrug. The federal okrug is analysed by looking at its constituent parts, using data from the Federal Municipal Statistics Service. The proposed methodology employs indicators across three key dimensions: economic space capacity, economic activity, and spatial connectivity. An integrated index is calculated for each dimension to assess the quality of economic space in 200 municipalities over two years (2012 and 2022). The results reveal pronounced spatial heterogeneity in population distribution, economic activity, and spatial connectivity across the Ural Federal Okrug. The analysis highlights significant variations in spatial organization between industrially developed regions (Sverdlovsk and Chelyabinsk Oblasts), the less industrialized Tyumen Oblast (excluding autonomous okrugs), the agrarian-industrial Kurgan Oblast, and the resource-driven Khanty-Mansiysk and Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrugs, where economic development is shaped by raw material specialization and geographical conditions in the Far North. The findings highlight the need for differentiated spatial development strategies aligned with regional goals, while emphasizing the promotion of inter-municipal cooperation mechanisms to address the challenges of regional disparities. The study lays the groundwork for more informed prioritization of spatial development initiatives and updates to regional policies in the federal okrug.

Pendulum migration, which involves regular commuting between home and work locations, supports personal self-realization and provides individuals with the flexibility to choose optimal work environments. However, it may also hinder the socio-economic growth of certain regions. Managing pendulum migration within territorial development plans proves challenging, primarily due to the lack of detailed municipal-level statistical data. This article aims to explore the distinctive characteristics of pendulum labour migration in Russian agglomerations, with a particular focus on the gender and age demographics of migrants. We hypothesize that pendulum labour migration exhibits unique patterns in agglomeration centres and their satellite areas, including surrounding cities and villages. The study relies on social network analysis as the primary research method, complemented by age pyramid analysis and comparative methods. The empirical data, collected by the authors in 2023, comprises anonymized information from approximately 396,000 VKontakte users, aged 14 to 73, across 14 major cities and 92 satellite cities. Our findings reveal that, with the exception of the Voronezh and Ufa agglomerations, a significant proportion of pendulum migrants traveling from satellite cities to agglomeration centres are men. The most active age group for both genders is between 29 and 43 years. Conversely, migration flows from urban centres to satellite areas show a higher proportion of women (52.8 %), with women commuting to satellite villages more frequently than men. In satellite cities, the age distribution of migrants is more balanced across genders compared to satellite villages. The primary age groups of residents from major cities engaging in pendulum migration are 24-28 years and 44-48 years. These insights can inform urban development strategies related to population migration and enhance employment support programs, taking into account the gender and age patterns of pendulum labour migration in various agglomerations and their satellite areas.

In rapidly changing societies, where economic integration and the digitalization of labor relations are accelerating, the socio-economic position of young professionals in the labor market is increasingly viewed through the lens of their human capital. The pace of technological advancement highlights the need for innovative tools to evaluate the stability of youth employment in the face of external influences. This study examines university graduates’ adaptation to the evolving labor market. The study aims to assess the risk of university graduates entering precarious employment, with a focus on their educational background. Sociological data were collected six months after respondents’ graduation from a major Russian university (n = 7,706), based on six annual cross-sectional surveys conducted from 2017 to 2022 using a unified methodology. Results revealed a rising trend in precarious employment among young workers in the Ural Federal District, reaching 38.7 % in 2022. An innovative algorithm, developed by using an indicative approach and mathematical methods such as the Cobb-Douglas production function, was applied to calculate precarious employment risks based on data from 2017–2021 (n=6,500). These risks were found to vary depending on graduates’ educational levels and majors. The study offers practical tools to expand the understanding of precarious employment characteristics and to identify such risks across various professions, providing valuable insights for policy-making in the sphere of labor market regulation and employment strategies.
Russian-Kazakhstan Border Territories: On The Way To Form Sibir Cross-Border Macroregions
Authors:   Institute of Philosophy and Law of the Ural Branch of RAS, Roy O. M.
Published: January 2025

Border regions occupy a significant part of the territory of Russia. All of them are adapted to the conditions of cross-border interactions to varying degrees. This article examines the economic and institutional conditions for interaction between the regions of Russia and Kazakhstan on the Siberian section of the state border within the so-called “cross-border macroregions”. The list of studied border regions of both countries includes regions that have shared borders. The purpose of this article is to select an optimal set of compatibility features between the border regions in order to form a cross-border macroregion in the alignment of the Russian-Kazakh border. The study assesses the readiness of the border regions of both countries to cooperate with each other and determines a list of indicators for the monitoring of the adjacent regions development and a typology of regions in relation to the implementation of cross-border interaction. A hypothesis suggests equal readiness of the border regions of Russia and Kazakhstan to establish cross-border cooperation and sustainable economic relations within the macroregion. The article presents a conceptual model of a transboundary macroregion, which includes the common borders of adjacent regions, their economic specialisation and infrastructure provision. A typology of border regions is based on an assessment of a region’s infrastructure provision and its economic activity. The results show the leadership of the Novosibirsk and Pavlodar Regions. A comparative analysis made it possible to identify three options for the formation of transboundary macroregions based on the correlation of the indicators of geographically close and open to each other border regions of both countries by the leading Russian region within each macroregion – Omsk, Novosibirsk and Altai. The leading role of the Novosibirsk direction in the formation of a transboundary macroregion is determined. The results obtained can be used by government bodies to develop a concept for the development of border regions of the country, justify promising measures for the implementation of the state’s spatial strategy.
Assessment of the Sustainability of Border Ecosystems under Geopolitical Challenges
Authors:   Amur State University, Yakimova V. A. , Pankova S. V. ,   Amur State University,   Orenburg State University
Published: January 2025

Interest in the problems of studying border ecosystems is caused by the fact that they function under the influence of both internal environmental factors and external macro – and meso-environment. Most studies in the field of the ecosystem approach in regional economics are theoretical in nature and are not supported by empirical analysis. The purpose of the article is to assess the influence of internal and external environmental factors on the sustainability of business ecosystems located in border regions. The methodology is based on the selection of ecosystems under study and the identification of their distinctive characteristics – emergence and cooperative competition. For assessment and grouping, methods of cluster analysis and principal components were used using machine learning in the Phyton programming language. As a result of the study, system-forming factors that are important both from the perspective of ecosystem theory and specific to the border state were identified and grouped; indicators have been formed that allow a comprehensive assessment of the influence of environmental factors on the sustainability of ecosystems; Four clusters were proposed and ecosystems were ranked by type of sustainability. Two classes of the most stable ecosystems with a high level of joint activity, located in favourable border conditions, have been identified. Most ecosystems are classified as unstable for two groups of reasons: the influence of geopolitical factors (66 ecosystems) and instability of the internal environment (65 ecosystems), which hinders their development. During the analysis of the principal components, ecosystems were grouped according to the integral sustainability score and key factors were identified (presence of large enterprises, cooperative ties between actors, foreign investments, import operations with friendly countries, institutional environment and border infrastructure). 47 stable ecosystems and 43 most unstable ones were identified. The results of the study are of practical importance for the development of strategies for the development of regional entrepreneurship, taking into account changes and adaptation to environmental challenges.

Authors: Yurén Camarena María Teresa , Rodríguez Roa Elena , De la Cruz Reyes Miriam
Published: January 2025

The objective is to highlight the advantages of articulating induction and analogy with appliedethics in socio-educational projects. The review of articles shows that principlist ethics underpinnedby deductive logic predominate in social projects, but some studies reveal dialogic and criticalapplied ethics structured with induction and analogy. Theoretical positions on the status of applied ethics are examined, confirming that induction and analogy are present both in the casuistry that culminates in the construction of maxims or prudential criteria, and in procedures that requirethe participation of those involved in each concrete case, and in the circle of critical hermeneuticswith its dialectics. Using an analytical-synthetic procedure, 12 socio-educational projects carried out in a non-formal modality are examined. As a result, four combinations are distinguished: 1)prescriptive ethics and deductive logic; 2) ethics of recognition and alternate logics; 3) dialogicethics and logic of discovery; and 4) prudential ethics of critical hermeneutics and dialectical logic.It is concluded that, by including induction and analogy in the ethics applied in socio-educational projects, a contribution is made to the improvement of learning and the production of behavioral patterns and moral convictions in accordance with the respective context.
El enfoque erotético en ecocrítica
Authors: Toro Rivadeneira Dancizo Yarness
Published: January 2025

This article proposes an erotetic approach to define the ecocritical research program, analyzingthe interrelationship between the conceptual frameworks of ecology and literary critical theory.A common structure based on problem agendas is suggested, enriching both scientific practiceand teaching. The main objective is to demonstrate how the formulation of questions significantlycontributes to the creation of open problem agendas that guide research, fostering the developmentof new hypotheses and promoting interdisciplinarity in research programs facing ecological challenges. The methodology includes a review of the theoretical structure of ecocriticism and how problem agendas provide methodological flexibility, allowing for the reformulation of questions as new data, technologies, and approaches emerge. The results highlight the importance of questioningin environmental sciences to redefine new research agendas, integrating conceptual frameworksnot unified by a central theory. Ecocriticism is framed as a research program structured erotetically, much like ecology. The conclusions emphasize the interdependence between questions, problemagendas, and critical reflection on the scientific method, underscoring the creativity and utilityof questioning and abductive hypotheses for a more suitable scientific practice, aligned with theurgency of the ecological crisis.
Perspectiva crítica de la innovación educativa desde las metodologías activas de aprendizaje
Authors: Jasso Alfieri Romina Denise , Fernández Mora Vicente de Jesús , García-Rojas Antonio Daniel
Published: January 2025

The complexity of the challenges posed by the 21st century calls for innovation, especially in the field of education, due to its presence, relevance and potential for the generation of solutions, forms of action and education that can be assumed by citizens, mainly those who are immersed in their educational process. For this reason, the aim of this work is to propose active methodologies as suitable means for implementing educational innovation centred on social processes, which place people at the centre of the phenomenon, as beings in formation and, likewise, as creators and maintainers of innovations that promote well-being. Initially, it outlines the difficulties of the pedagogical renewal effort, in some of its fundamental texts and moments, to respond to the challenges and threats faced by contemporary societies, discussing some relevant notions of theory and Philosophy of Education. This contribution then attempts to add to the ongoing reflections on the Philosophy of innovation, as a discipline in germ, which must in turn be linked to a proposal for a Philosophy of educational innovation. The aim is then to problematise, under these theoretical premises, pedagogical creativity and action programmes linked to the tradition of activism and the recent proposals of Active Learning Methodologies, through the contribution of the social approach to educational innovation.
On the Public Benefit of “Private Vices” or a View From the XVIII Century Through the Prism of a Dynamic Model of Economic Reproduction
Authors:   Novosibirsk State University, Russian Federation, Shmat Vladimir
Published: January 2025

The article presents the results of a study assessing the impact of economic freedom on economic growth and public welfare, which is based on a formalized theoretical representation of degrees of freedom in the form of a parabolic curve with an optimum and deviations from it. This notion of economic freedom echoes the vision of socially useful ‘private vices’ described in Bernard Mandeville’s “The Fable of the Bees”. The evaluation tool is a theoretical-analytical economic-mathematical model of economic reproduction, reflecting the dynamic process of production and distribution of a public product. Imitation of the development of the socio-economic system with different degrees of economic freedom and in conditions of institutional transformations leading to a change in the degree of freedom confirmed the expediency of striving for the optimum of freedom. At the same time, contradictions were revealed that arise in the simulated system due to the ambiguity of the interests of economic agents involved in the reproduction process. It also shows the contradictory nature of the institutional reforms themselves, which have far different consequences for different social strata with overall positive changes in the economy.
Formation of the Money Supply in the Russian Economy
Authors:   Institute of Economics and Industrial Engineering, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences “IEIE SB RAS”, Novosibirsk, Provotorova Maryana
Published: January 2025

The question of optimal monetary policy is one of the most controversial among economists in different countries of the world. The answer to this is largely determined by the way money is formed in the economy. According to modern macroeconomic concepts, money supply can be influenced by factors other than monetary policy. This article discusses the main theoretical approaches to determining the mechanisms of formation of the money supply. The main attention is paid to the post-Keynesian theory of endogenous money supply, within which the accommodation and structuralist approaches dominate. Both approaches are based on the premise that the money supply in the country is affected by changes in bank loans. However, they differ in the degree to which the monetary regulator satisfies the banks’ need for loans: full (accommodation) and partial (structuralism).
The main source of money supply growth in the modern world is the credit channel, which is considered key from the standpoint of post-Keynesianism, but considering the Russian economy in retrospect, one cannot help but note two more important sources, such as the currency channel, which was of great importance in the 2000s, and the fiscal channel, which currently also plays an important role in changes in the money supply. Since 2013, the Central Bank has been actively using such a regulatory instrument as the key interest rate in its monetary policy, which is consistent with the position of post-Keynesianism. Using the conducted theoretical review, as well as an analysis of the current state of the Russian money market and monetary policy, it is concluded that there are prerequisites for the endogeneity of the Russian money supply, which provides grounds for further analysis of the cause-and-effect relationships of key macroeconomic indicators using econometric models.
Conceptual Approaches, Methodological and Economic Tools for Assessing the Functioning and Development of the Urban Tourism Services Market
Authors:   Novosibirsk State University of Economics and Management, Russian Federation, Shumkov Vyacheslav
Published: January 2025

In the modern world, tourism, as an industry of interconnected sectors, influences the development of specific sectors of the economy and performs social and cultural functions. The article presents the author’s position, based on summaries of existing approaches and considering the paradigms of urbanization theory, that urban spaces today serve as a unifying sphere for various types of tourism, which are viewed as structural components of urban tourism. Based on the research fi ndings, the author provides a unique interpretation of the concepts ‘urban tourism’ and ‘urban tourism services market’, characterizing the urban tourism services market of Novosibirsk by highlighting various types of tourism resources – cultural-historical, architectural, infrastructural, etc.; the necessity for theoretical exploration of specific aspects of the urban tourism services market is argued. In particular, the possibility and necessity of implementing a conceptual economic model for assessing the current state and forecasting the development of the urban tourism services market based on the identification of basic factors of its functioning – demand potential and supply potential – are justified. The role of investment policy in the development of the urban tourism services market and the possibility of using cluster tools to activate demand and stimulate the sale of urban tourism services in the metropolis are outlined.
The Impact of the Presidency Institution оn the Cultural Policy of Pridnestroviе
Authors:   Rubinstein Pridnestrovian State Institute of Arts, Tiraspol, Transnistria, Golub Natalia
Published: January 2025

The article discusses the institution of presidency, which has a significant impact on the cultural policy and ‘cultural sovereignty’ of Pridnestrovie. It is noted that the development of the culture of the republic is directly related to the personality of the leaders of the PMR, their involvement in the cultural and historical processes taking place in the state.
It is noted that the institution of the presidency acts as the effective imperative for the development of the country’s cultural policy under the influence of the legal status, territorial location of the republic and the established educational and award system. Collectively, these form a creative community and cultural leaders, determining the content core of their functioning, the intentionality of the socio-cultural functioning of the region, preserving its uniqueness and “cultural sovereignty”. Using the prism of educational, enlightening and leisure activities, and the correlation of the functioning of national-cultural associations and creative unions, three stages are considered; a different stage for when the young republic had different leaders. It is demonstrated how a change in the socio-moral differentiation of priorities, due to a change in the course pursued by the institute of presidency, leads to certain “swings” in society, a violation of the parity of multicultural interests, and an imbalance in the spiritual consciousness of cultural elites. And it is proven that it is the personal involvement of the head of state, especially in a presidential republic, under the influence of internal political events, that influences the content core and accents in cultural policy, the pace of fulfillment of the designated tasks, and the degree of their implementation.
A historiographical review of the cultural policy of Transnistria is presented, examining the identification of the main directions of development at the end of the 20th and the first quarter of the 21st centuries. The author uses promising methodological approaches to conducting cultural research based on a synthesis of practical, experimental methods and theoretical understanding of scientific results.

Published: January 2025

Wilhelm Röpke, iki dünya savaşı arası dönemin ve İkinci Dünya Savaşı sonrası konjonktürün sosyal, siyasal ve iktisadî yönlerini tecrübe etmiş bir iktisatçı ve sosyal bilimcidir. 1933-1937 arasında İstanbul Üniversitesi’nde çalışan Röpke’nin Türkiye’deki akademik faaliyetlerini konu edinen pek az çalışma yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmalarda ele alınmayan Röpke konulu makaleler, gazete yazıları, Röpke’nin konferans metinleri ve çeviri makaleleri ile Röpke’ye yapılan atıflar, bu makalenin kapsamını oluşturmaktadır. Buradan hareketle Röpke’nin Türkiye yıllarındaki faaliyetlerinin dökümünü yapmak ve Türk iktisat düşüncesinde bıraktığı izlere derinlik kazandırmak amaçlanmaktadır. Sonuç olarak Röpke’nin Türk iktisat düşüncesinde kayda değer ama kısa soluklu bir yankı uyandırdığı, fakat bir geleneğin ya da düşünce çizgisinin kurucusu olmadığını söylemek mümkündür.

These regions which are labeled site A/B were chosen because of the higher sequencing depth. A simple call procedure can be used to annotate a cell as ‘Traced’ if >50% of transcripts from Site B, the recombined allele.
Levinas’ Ethical Sinification of Le Dire(The Saying)
Authors:   Korean Soc Study Moral Educ, Kim Yeon-Sook
Published: January 2025

In this study, I discuss the ethical sinification of le dire(the saying). The ethical meaning of saying is mainly discussed in relation to responsibility for the other or the passivity of a subject that is ‘more passive than passivity.’ The “said,” which are distinguished from “saying,” are stored in memory or conceptualized or thematized and transmitted in the form of books, etc., and become an intentional object, that is, a noema. In contrast, the saying produces various ethical meanings when encountering the other. The speaking subject is directed toward the other. In saying, a relationship is formed between the subject exposed to the other and the other who is present. The subject who speaks while being exposed to the other becomes the sign that he or she sends to the other. In the proximity of the other that contains humanity, the subject who speaks to the other is a being who has come out of his or her hiding place and exposed himself or herself to the other. Those who respond to the demand and appeal of the other are responding to the original ethical language of the pre-original other.
Educational Implications of Textual Criticism in Plato’s The Seventh Letter
Authors:   Korean Soc Study Moral Educ, Kim In
Published: January 2025

The Seventh Letter, written by Plato in the last years of his life, around the age of 75, records in detail his actions during his visit to Sicily. In particular, in this letter, Plato criticizes text, which are related to true perception. Summarizing Plato’s explanation of the recognition of objects, it can be said that Plato divides knowledge into two dimensions: ‘knowledge’ and ‘principle.’ Books written in writing represent the surface layer of knowledge. Reading the surface layer of this knowledge does not automatically lead to knowing the principles of knowledge. Knowing the depth of knowledge, that is, the principles of knowledge, is true knowledge. Plato stipulates that the condition that enables understanding of the principles of knowledge is dialogue between teacher and student. In order for students to properly understand the depth of knowledge, the help of an insightful teacher who analyzes silent books and asks various questions from the author’s perspective is essential. On the other hand, the danger of pretending to know only superficial content without understanding the principles of knowledge is the separation of knowledge and life. A person with true knowledge relates knowledge not only to writing or words, but also to his specific actions and his entire life. For a student to understand the depth of knowledge through the teacher’s living teachings means internalizing the life attitude assumed by that knowledge.

The Peopling of Tajikistan by Homo sapiens denisovan
Authors: Derevianko A. P.
Published: January 2025

The study published in the previous issue of this journal addressed the dispersal and early morphological and genetic evolution of H. s. denisovan in Iran, following the split of the ancestral taxon H. heidelbergensis into two taxa, Neanderthals and Denisovans, in the Levant ~400 ka BP. The latter taxon was first described owing to the sequencing of DNA extracted from the fragment of the fifth finger phalanx from layer 11.2 of Denisova Cave, Altai. Having left the Levant 400–350 ka BP, Denisovans began to spread via Iran to Central Asia and eventually to the Altai. Humans appeared in Denisova Cave ~300 ka BP, having crossed vast territories of Central Asia different in terms of environment, climate, landscape, flora and fauna, and partly populated by aborigines—the late populations of H. erectus. Adapting to changing environments, assimilating native humans, and undergoing natural selection, H. s. denisovan evolved both genetically and morphologically. Here, the spread of Denisovans in Tajikistan will be discussed.

Long-term archaeological excavations have been carried out at a large group of Late Neolithic (Zaisanovka culture) settlements on the left bank of the lower Partizanskaya River in southern Primorye, mostly dating to early 2nd millennium BC and somewhat earlier. Remains of half-dugout dwellings were unearthed. Many sites, including Sopka Bulochka, Sopka Bolshaya, and Pereval, have been previously published. The only exception is Pod Lipami, a site consisting of a single dwelling, on which this study focuses. Its sub-rectangular foundation, ~46 m2 in area, had been dug into the slope of the hill, forming a terrace-like platform. The wattle dwelling had a hearth in the center. Numerous stone agricultural tools were found—hoes, querns, grinders, pestles, etc. Other lithics are adzes, scraping, cutting, and grinding tools, including those made of obsidian. Ceramics are represented by shards and larger fragments of crushed handmade flatbottomed and potand vase-like vessels, mostly decorated with carved vertical zigzags, curvilinear figures, and spirals, which are more common in the Neolithic of the Lower Amur. Small as it is, the site with its radiocarbon dates extends our knowledge of the Zaisanovka culture and of its creators, sedentary farmers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: One of the key quality indicators of non-removable dentures is their tight fit to the prosthetic bed. Errors in the clinical and laboratory stages of denture manufacturing lead to the fact that ready-made non-removable dentures have different degrees of fit. Most methods for assessing the degree of fit of prostheses are mainly of scientific interest and have not found wide clinical application due to the complexity of execution and inconvenience of use.
AIM: To improve the effectiveness of prosthetic treatment by enhancing the fit of fixed dental prostheses.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A silicone test and a special device called a calibrator were used to assess the fit of the completed prostheses. The calibrator allows the clinician to quickly and accurately measure the thickness of the silicone film.
RESULTS: It was found that all prostheses received from the dental laboratory exhibited varying degrees of fit. The range of values was from 20 μm to 200 μm. The fit of 50% of the prostheses exceeded 100 μm. Clinical adjustment of crowns using the proposed method improved their fit by an average of 59,28%.
CONCLUSION: The proposed clinical method for assessing the degree of marginal fit of fixed dentures and its correction allows the doctor to control this indicator and achieve clinically acceptable values.
Keywords: fit of fixed prostheses, silicone test, test calibrator, silicone film thickness, marginal gap

Anemia of chronic patients is a secondary hematological syndrome, and most often accompanies infectious-inflammatory, immunopathological and tumor processes. The introduction discusses the importance of blood testing to assess the response of the immune and hematopoietic systems to various adverse effects. Various mechanisms are involved in the pathogenesis of anemia, among which the main place belongs to the action of proinflammatory cytokines. In many cases, sideropenia develops that is not associated with an absolute iron deficiency, but occurs as a result of the redistribution of iron reserves in the body. In some patients, diagnosis of various types of pathology begins with the detection of anemia. This requires a comprehensive examination of patients, the exclusion of primary hematological pathology and the detection of all concomitant diseases, including foci of infection. This article presents a clinical example of a multidisciplinary approach to the diagnosis of normochromic normocytic anemia, which resulted in the detection of endocrine pathology — hypoparathyroidism, and chronic foci of Epstein–Barr virus and streptococcal infection in a teenage girl. The peculiarity of the case was that the patient initially consulted a hematologist about mild anemia, but during the examination it became obvious that complaints of progressive weakness, fatigue, hand tremors, and dizziness could not be linked to the existing hematological pathology. Spastic disorders and tetany of the limb muscles that arose during the examination period became the reason for diagnosing metabolic disorders: determining creatine phosphokinase, serum myoglobin, blood electrolytes, including calcium and phosphorus, as well as hormones of the thyroid and parathyroid glands. The examination results showed that the severity of the girl’s condition and neurological symptoms were caused by severe metabolic changes, phosphorus-calcium metabolism disorders in the form of hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, increasing levels of creatine phosphokinase, high levels of lactate dehydrogenase, and were due to endocrine pathology. The presence of neurological symptoms, changes in magnetic resonance imaging and electrocardiogram against the background of a significant decrease in parathyroid hormone, hypocalcemia, and increasing levels of creatine phosphokinase required the patient to be referred to the hospital with a diagnosis of “Hypoparathyroidism”. The presented clinical case confirms the need for an individual, multidisciplinary approach to the diagnosis of secondary anemic conditions, which will allow identifying pathology of various organs and systems.

BACKGROUND: Currently autologic reconstructive surgery in the most significant approach in surgical therapy for enteral insufficiency due to short bowel syndrome. Possible application for short bowel surgery of widespread urologic Yang–Monti–Casale technique is an issue of interest. The technique includes cutting of small bowel segment antimesenteric border with a figured incision and second tubularization at an angle to the mesenterium fixation line which results in elongation and narrowing of the bowel segment.
AIM: To determine geometric requirements of small bowel segment for Yang–Monti–Casale procedure to treat short bowel syndrome.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A mathematical model for resulting bowel segment after Yang–Monti–Casale procedure geometry dependency on original bowel length and width was observed. An object of the analysis was a cylindrical surface. Modeling assumptions were that the suface had no thickness and was unstretchable. Only surfaces with length more than width were taken into account. For establishing the dependency of bowel segment after procedure on original parameters a net of cutted with figured incise according the Yang–Monti–Casale technique cylindrical surface was considered. Bowel segment resulting width was computed as a half of the distance between the points that matched during the enteroplasty. Resulting length was computed as the ratio of the surface area and the resulting width.
RESULTS: Yang–Monti–Casale procedure provides significant bowel segment elongation and narrowing if original bowel length to width ratio is not more than 2,5:1. The target bowel width 20 ± 2 mm is achieveable if original length is 60–80 mm and original width is 30–65 mm.
CONCLUSIONS: Yang–Monti–Casale procedure may be considered as auxiliary technique for short bowel syndrome requiring bowel segment length 60–80 mm, width 30–65 mm, and length to width ratio not more than 2,5:1.
