Aluminum Forming by Vaporizing Foil Actuator Welding
Authors: ÖNDER Ganime Tuğba , KÜLEKCİ Mustafa Kemal
Published: December 2023

Aluminum, has a wide range of uses, from industry to medical industrial products such as automotive, defense-aviation, and space. Aluminium has become a preferred material in applications where weight needs to be reduced. It is also used as a material in metal cladding and shaping applications. However, the high thermal conductivity coefficient of aluminum may cause some difficulties in the production process. These difficulties due to thermal conductivity may not allow to manufacture of desired products. In this study formability of aluminum with vaporizing foil actuator welding (VFAW) has been investigated as an alternative process to the traditional and solid state welding processes. By using different voltage values and separation distance parameters, the effects of these parameters on the formability of aluminum and copper sheet metal pairs with VFAW were examined experimentally. Experimental data show that voltage value is an important parameter in the VFAW process where a DC capacitor is used. In the VFAW process, where a 375 V voltage value is used, it has been determined that welding occurs in processes performed with three different separation distances (0.4 mm- 0.9 mm -1.5 mm). It was determined that 0.4 mm and 0.9 mm separation distances were effective in joining Al/Cu metal sheets with 0.1 mm thickness.
Improvement of daily pan-evaporation calculation in arid and semi-arid regions by limited climatic data
Authors: Mohammadi Mehdi , Salarijazi Meysam , Ghorbani Khalil , Dehghani Amir-Ahmad
Published: December 2023

In this study, 14 equations have been investigated to calculate pan-evaporation in arid and semi-arid regions (based on the De Martonne aridity index). Two indicators i.e. nRMSE and MBE, were used to analyze the results. The Kohler -Nordonson -Fox (K -N -F) (1955) equation, on the one hand, is more precise than other original equations and, on the other hand, is one of the equations that has less impact from the improving process and, in other words, has a higher consistency compared to other equations in arid and semi-arid regions. Three improved equations, including improved K -N -F (1955), improved Linacer (1994), and improved Kohler (1954), have better precision in calculating the pan-evaporation compared to the other equations. According to the mathematical form of these three equations, this finding shows the importance of temperature, relative humidity, and wind velocity in arid and semi-arid regions. The improved Linacer (1954) equation had low precision in high-humidity regions, emphasizing relative humidity in calculating pan-evaporation in arid and semi-arid regions. Among 14 equations, more precisions have been from the category of improved equations, so it becomes clear that the empirical mathematical equations must be improved specifically for arid and semi-arid regions.

Authors: Sokolov Daniil , Sharda Neha , Banerjee Aindrila , Denisenko Kseniia , Basalious Emad B. , Shukla Hem , Waddell Jaylyn , Hamdy Nadia M. , Banerjee Aditi
Published: December 2023

Background:

Medulloblastomas (MDB) are malignant, aggressive brain tumors that primarily
affect children. The survival rate for children under 14 is approximately 72%, while for ages 15 to 39, it is
around 78%. A growing body of evidence suggests that dysregulation of signaling mechanisms and noncoding
RNA epigenetics play a pivotal role in this disease

Methodology:

This study conducted an electronic search of articles on websites like PubMed and Google. The
current review also used an in silico databases search and bioinformatics analysis and an extensive comprehensive
literature search for original research articles and review articles as well as retrieval of current and
future medications in clinical trials.

Results:

This study indicates that several signaling pathways, such as sonic hedgehog, WNT/β-catenin,
unfolded protein response mediated ER stress, notch, neurotrophins and TGF-β and ERK, MAPK, and ERK
play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of MDB. Gene and ncRNA/protein are also involved as an axis long
ncRNA to sponge micro-RNAs that affect downstream signal proteins expression and translation affection
disease pathophysiology, prognosis and present potential target hit for drug repurposing. Current treatment
options include surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy; unfortunately, the disease often relapses, and the survival
rate is less than 5%. Therefore, there is a need to develop more effective treatments to combat recurrence
and improve survival rates.

Conclusion:

This review describes various MDB disease hallmarks, including the signaling mechanisms involved
in pathophysiology, related-causal genes, epigenetics, downstream genes/epigenes, and possibly the
causal disease genes/non-protein coding (nc)RNA/protein axis. Additionally, the challenges associated with
MDB treatment are discussed, along with how they are being addressed using nano-technology and nano-biomedicine,
with a listing of possible treatment options and future potential treatment modalities.

Authors: Wang Yiyu , Lai Yu
Published: December 2023

The Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic resulting from the severe acute respiratory syndrome
coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has led to significant morbidity and mortality in patients and put a strain on
healthcare systems worldwide. The clinical characteristics and results of COVID-19 in immunosuppressed patients, such as people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLWH), considered at higher risk of severe
disease, are not well-characterized. Accumulated evidence indicates that COVID-19 and the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) can interact in various ways. This review explored the similarities and differences in virology between SARS-CoV-2 and HIV, the effect of the COVID-19 vaccine on PLWH, the impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic on PLWH care and prevention, and the influence of HIV-related factors on COVID-19.
Discovering the potential link between HIV and COVID-19 may provide a novel way to avoid the factors of
HIV and SARS-CoV-2 coinfection and advance future research.

Published: December 2023

 In this work, we investigated the effect of film thickness on the structure and
properties of Ti-N films deposited by magnetron sputtering. The structural properties of
Ti-N films were described, followed by a detailed investigation into their mechanical
properties by using theoretical and experimental analysis. The theoretical calculation
presented the Rocksalt TiN structure with a lattice parameter of about 4.255 Å,
confirmed by X-ray diffraction. The experimental analysis revealed that the structure
and the hardness of TiN films varied in a wide range when increasing the film
thickness. The structure morphology also changed from a rough to a dense surface and
a smooth structure. The hardness and Young modulus of the TiN film reach maximum
values of about 26 GPa and 445 GPa, respectively, and then decrease with increasing
the film’s thickness. The theoretical values of the hardness and young modulus are in
excellent agreement with those obtained for the Ti-N thick films.

Published: December 2023

In the present scenario, healthcare has made significant progress with the
assistance of smart devices involving effective sensors and Internet of Things devices.
In context to this, the combination of IoT and cloud architectures are rigorously
exploited in order to process the large amount of data that would be generated by the
wearable sensor networks in near real-time applications by making use of Artificial
Intelligence supporting smart healthcare systems. In the current scenario of
globalization, in addition to the increased facilities, a wide variety of other challenges
are worked upon for providing quality and efficient healthcare benefits and facilities by
making use of cost-effective instruments and world class technologies.

 An important factor for the physical and mental health of a human being, the
performance throughout the day as well as safety is the sleep quality. Effective quality
of sleep can help avoid the risk of mental depression and chronic diseases. Sleep
promotes the brain to actively get associated with the activity that is being performed
and helps in preventing various accidents that might be caused due to falling asleep.
For the analysis of the sleep quality, a continuous monitoring system is necessary
which generates effective results. With the aid of rapid improvisation of mobile and
sensor technology as well as the emerging trends of Internet of things technology, there
is a good opportunity of development of a reliable and effective sleep quality
monitoring system. This chapter effectively describes the background and applicability
of Internet of things for such systems involved in sleep monitoring. The study begins
with the review of the quality of sleep, the importance related to the monitoring of
sleep quality, the employability of Internet of things in this and its relevant field, as
well as the open issues and challenges in this and its related fields.

The IoT technology supports the preamble which would promote a cost effective and
consistent system in order to monitor the quality of sleep-in individuals. There are
several existing systems for the same purpose which involves a large amount of cost
and are cumbersome to implement. To overcome the same issue, the chapter narrates
an inventive system for monitoring and analyzing sleep patterns by making use of effective parameters. In this domain, a combination of clinical medicine, bioengineering,
neuroscience, epidemiology, mHealth, Computer Science, as well as Human Computer
interactio,n in order to approach the challenge of digitization of sleep from a
multidisciplinary perspective. This chapter describes the state of art technologies
involved in sleep monitoring and discusses the challenges and opportunities involved
from the initial step of acquiring the data to the applicability of the acquired data based
on the consumer level and clinical settings.

Published: December 2023

The future direction of modern medicine is toward “smart healthcare,”
which incorporates a new generation of information technology to meet patient needs
individually while increasing the effectiveness of medical care. This greatly improves
the patient experience with medical and health services. Nowadays, due to people's
lifestyles, diabetic retinopathy is one of the most serious health issues they confront. A
deviation from the norm in which long-term diabetes affects the human retina is called
diabetic retinopathy (DR). Diabetes is a chronic condition related to an expanding
measure of glucose levels. As the degree of glucose builds, a few adjustments happen
in the veins of the retina. Patients' vision may begin to deteriorate as their diabetes
progresses, resulting in diabetic retinopathy. It is exceptionally far-reaching among
moderately aged and older individuals. Thus there is a need to detect diabetic
retinopathy at an early stage automatically. This study aims to build an intelligent
framework that uses fundus images of the eye (retina) and performs image analysis to
extract the features. Images are trained by the knowledge relegation approach, and the
severity of the DR is classified using K-nearest neighbors. The proposed model
achieved a test accuracy of 99%, 61%, 100%, 94%, and 88% for each of the five
classes of diabetic retinopathy: proliferative diabetic retinopathy, no diabetic
retinopathy, mild diabetic retinopathy, moderate diabetic retinopathy, and severe
diabetic retinopathy.

The vision of this device is to design and construct the blind-friendly
embedded device. The blind and visually handicapped have difficulty utilizing mobile
phones because social media and online banking programs on smartphones are difficult
for them to utilize. For quick bank transactions, ATMs are used. If blind individuals
use the ATM and it isn't designed with visually impaired persons in mind, there will be
privacy concerns. Using mobile phones with the assistance of others may jeopardize
their security and privacy. Touch screens were not designed with visually impaired
persons in mind. They are uneasy using cell phones in public due to current
technologies. When visually impaired persons walk, they use a stick, which can be
replaced as well. By gaining access to all capabilities of smart phones, the developed
system would assist visually impaired persons in making their lives much easier.

We outline the importance of these factors in novel models of care and develop frameworks for addressing these alongside LLM deployment.
Effects of computerized cognitive training combined with aerobic exercise on patients with early Post-Stroke Cognitive Impairment: a randomized controlled trial (Preprint)
Authors: Liu Jinyu , Wang Pei , Wei Yilan , Zhang Aihua
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND

Previous studies have demonstrated that the combination of computerized cognitive training (CCT) and aerobic exercise produces more significant therapeutic effects on cognitive function compared to either intervention alone. However, its impact on specific cognitive domains remains unclear.

OBJECTIVE

This study was aim to investigate the rehabilitative effects of computerized cognitive training combined with aerobic exercise on cognitive domains in patients with post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) using objective indicators.

METHODS

This randomized controlled trial was conducted at a tertiary hospital in northern China, recruiting 134 participants with PSCI who were randomly assigned to either the control group (n=67) or the intervention group (n=67) using an opaque envelope method. Both groups received 30-minute interventions five times a week. Changes in cognitive domains, global cognitive function, activities of daily living, stroke severity, and quality of life (QOL) were compared prior to the intervention, at 3 months, and at 6 months post-intervention.

RESULTS

Of the 109 participants who completed the full intervention and follow-up, analysis of the 5 cognitive function variables revealed a significant group × time interaction for all variables except visuospatial ability, favoring the intervention group (global cognitive function [Wald c2=26.437, P<0.001], memory [Wald c2=67.781, P<0.001], attention [Wald c2=12.174, P=0.002], execution [Wald c2=136.341, P<0.001], visuospatial ability [Wald c2=3.755, P=0.153]). Additionally, both activities of daily living and QOL also showed significant group × time interactions, favoring the intervention group.

CONCLUSIONS

The combination of CCT and aerobic exercise effectively enhanced the cognitive function of patients with PSCI, particularly in the areas of memory, attention, and execution. Moreover, it improved activities of daily living and QOL.

Authors: Riant Mathilde , El Boudi Islam , Bellier Alexandre , Vuillerme Nicolas
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND

The emergence of problematic digital use (PDU) is increasingly alarming, affecting between 7% and 20% of the world's adolescent population. However, there is no validated questionnaire in French to measure this. Only a few questionnaires self-reported by adolescents or hetero-reported by parents have been translated and validated in English.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study is to translate into French the Digital Addiction Scale for Children (DASC) self-reported by adolescents and the Problematic Media Use Measure (PMUM) hetero-reported by parents of adolescents.

METHODS

We used the "forward/backward" method to establish the translation to achieve cross-cultural adaptation. There are three stages: (1) Initial translation and synthesis/reconciliation of the translations phase, (2) Back-translation and expert committee phase and (3) Pretesting phase with eight parents completed the PMUM questionnaire and eight adolescents completed the DASC questionnaire.

RESULTS

During the translation phase, despite slight variations in translation for both questionnaires, the translators quickly reached a consensus. The expert committee did not propose any other conceptual changes. In the final phase, the parents made no comments to improve the questions or the wording. Although some adolescents mentioned repetition between certain questions, they did not suggest any improvements to the DASC questionnaire in French.

CONCLUSIONS

A questionnaire enabling adolescents to assess their own use of the drug (DASC) and another on parents' perceptions of their children's use (PMUM) will enable us to better detect or assess the prevalence of the PDU in French adolescent population.
Expectations of Educational Continuity among Beneficiary Families of the Indonesian Conditional Cash Transfer (PKH): A Case Study in Tabuan Island, Tanggamus Regency
Authors: Nugroho Setiyo , Listyaningsih Umi , Pitoyo Agus Joko
Published: December 2023

Implemented since 2007, The Indonesian Conditional Cash Transfer (PKH) program aims to alleviate poverty by encouraging education participation among the impoverished. Analyzing the educational expectations of PKH beneficiaries is crucial for program’s impact evaluation. Changes in educational expectations indicate the awareness of poor families to invest in education. Moreover, examining socio-economic impacts on educational expectations offers insights into challenges faced by impoverished families. This study, conducted on Tabuan Island in Tanggamus Regency which is a remote area with inadequate educational facilities, investigates the impact of PKH over 15 years by 2022. Using primary data from two groups: PKH beneficiary families (intervention) and non-PKH families (control) – the research quantitatively compares their educational expectations. Further exploration involves logistic regression tests to examine socio-economic factors’ influence on the intervention group. Results reveal PKH’s positive impact on elevating beneficiary families’ educational expectations. The analysis showed significantly higher educational expectations among PKH families compared to non-PKH families, particularly when excluding other educational assistance. PKH beneficiaries are estimated to be 10,269 times more likely to expect their children to graduate from college than non-PKH families. Internet access in the last 3 months, and participation in P2K2 counseling, have a positive impact on the PKH beneficiary families’ educational expectations. This highlights the importance of positive educational information and the potential of information technology in supporting their children’s education. However, it is concerning that despite having high expectations, families receiving PKH on Tabuan Island face challenges in ensuring their children’s access to college education.

The Indigenous Politics of Justice: the Case of the Sedulur Sikep Movement in Central Java
Authors: Adam Ronald , Bagir Zainal Abidin
Published: December 2023

The struggle by indigenous people to protect their land from capitalist expansion is often reduced by scholars to two contrasting models: class politics and identity politics. This reduction has partially come from how scholars separate between the cultural/spiritual and the political-economic dimensions of these struggles, which are often more complex in reality. Based on an empirical study of the Sedulur Sikep movement in Pati, Central Java, the purpose of this article is to understand what the indigenous politics of justice looks like in practice as they defend their land and way of life against the cement mining industry. This study uses a qualitative approach combining four months of field observations with two Wong Sikep households and interviews with 20 Wong Sikep individuals from 15 households in Baturejo Sukolilo Village, Pati Regency, Central Java. This article discusses two findings from the study. First, the cultural/spiritual and political-economic dimensions are inseparable in the lives of Wong Sikep. Such inseparability is manifested through the agricultural system as the core of Wong Sikep life, derived from the teachings of their ancestors (culture/spirituality) as well as their practical needs (political economy). Second, this inseparability forms the basis of their adoption of both the politics of recognition and redistribution in their resistance to cement mining. The article concludes with recommendations for future studies about the Sedulur Sikep movement in particular and for indigenous justice movements more broadly.

An Enquiry into Gunpowder Weapons Used by Hülegü in the Middle East Campaign
Authors:   Istanbul University, Oğuz Anıl Yasin
Published: December 2023

Research objectives: To establish whether Hülegü brought gunpowder from China during his military operation in the Middle East in 1256–1260 and whether his army used gunpowder weapons against the Hashashi/Hashashin castles. Research materials: The article’s author examines Islamic and Chinese sources mentioning Hülegü’s military campaign from Mongolia to the Middle East and weapons used by the Mongolian army. Results and novelty of the research: Most researchers agree that the Mongols used gunpowder weapons adapted from the Chinese in their East Asian military expeditions, such as in China, Japan, Korea, and Java. However, it is still debated whether the Mongols used gunpowder and gunpowder weapons in their military campaigns in the West. Some researchers state that the Mongols did not use gunpowder in the European campaign and that naphtha was the main incendiary they used in the Middle East campaign. Few studies examine whether the Mongols carried gunpowder to the West. Islamic source writers described China’s novel weapons and chemicals in more familiar terms, such as naphtha. Especially when the information given by Hamdallah Mustawfi, Ata-Malik Juvayni, and Qutb al-din Shīrāzī about the Mongol Siege of Maymun-Diz in 1256 is compared with the Chinese military manual Wujing Zongyao, it is evident that the Mongols transported ballistas with three bows called “ox crossbow” from China. It turns out that these ballistas fired “rocket-assisted arrows”. These arrows carried paper tubes filled with gunpowder, which would increase their range to reach the mountain fortress of Maymun-Diz, and bombs covered with cartons, bamboo, ceramic, or metal which would set fire to the defenders of the fort. These ballistas are referred to as baban in Armenian sources and as “naphtha tools” in the Mongols’ siege of Baghdad. The most original aspect of the present article is the hypothesis that the information in Mustawfi’s work regarding the presence of “blue poison” in the arrows fired by the Mongols at the Maymun-Diz referred to black powder. “Blue poison, made up of particles”, was one of the ways by which Mustawfi expressed black powder.

The purpose of the study: To consider how monumental architecture, in particular memorial buildings, reflected the changes in society associated with the adoption of Islam in the Golden Horde and ties with other Muslim states. Research materials: Mausoleums which are the most numerous objects of monumental architecture explored throughout the territory of the Golden Horde. The paper considers both archaeological sites and various images of mausoleums: drawings of the 18th–19th centuries, and photographs of the late 19th – early 20th centuries. Results and scientific novelty: On the basis of building technology in the Golden Horde, two areas of architecture are distinguished – building from brick (fired and raw) and building from stone. An analysis of the planning, construction techniques, architectural details of the mausoleums, and construction equipment leads to the conclusion that several directions can be traced in the composition of the Golden Horde memorial architecture. The influence of the Central Asian school associated with the construction of fired and raw bricks was very significant. The architectural forms of brick mausoleums, distributed mainly in the steppe zone, find direct analogies among the monuments of Central Asia, primarily Khorezm. In the monuments made in the technique of stone construction, the influence of Asia Minor and Transcaucasia can be traced. It is expressed both in the architectonics of buildings and in the use of certain building techniques. The Golden Horde tower mausoleums, most likely, were exact copies of those in Asia Minor and Azerbaijan. Along with the forms of memorial buildings typical for the Muslim world, there were buildings of archaic appearance in the ulus of Jochi. Pyramidal mausoleums were built there, the shape of which the researchers deduce from the tomb structures in the form of barrows; these can be associated with the Turkic memorial buildings of the 9th–11th centuries.
Chingi-tura in the History of the Tyumen Khanate

Purpose: To identify the main evolution stages of the status of the settlement of Chingi-tura as the political center of the Tyumen Khanate. Research materials: The work was carried out on the basis of an analysis of published sources (chronicles, embassy documents, letters, contracts, travelers’ notes, cartography data, and results of archaeological excavations). Results and scientific novelty. In historical research, largely under the influence of various editions of the so-called “Siberian chronicles,” there is a traditional concept about the connection of Chingi-tura, first of all, with the activities of the princes from the Taibugid dynasty. The city practically stopped existing with their departure to Isker-Siberia. However, a more comprehensive approach to sources, including archaeological ones, allows for considering this issue in a different way. The formation of the city (taking into account the specifics of applying this term to Siberian realities), was associated specifically with the Ulus of Jochi, dating back to the last quarter of the 13th century when the population changed there and Chingi-tura became one of the centers on the Transural trade route. The economic and possibly administrative significance of Chingi-tura in the 13th–14th centuries became the basis for its political rise in the first third of the next century. It appeared to be the center that attracted those Shibanids who would fight for uniting all lands of that dynasty’s representatives into a single state. Moreover, until the end of 1420 the city was under the control of representatives of the Burkut tribe whose history is obviously connected with the Siberian Taibugids. Only after 1431, in the time of Abu-l-Khair, did Chingi-tura receive the status of a throne place (Tyumen of Russian sources) which is a reasonable basis to refer to the state as the Tyumen Khanate. For a long time, the specificity of the city was determined by the fact that it was located on the northern border of this steppe state, something which greatly complicated its development. Also, contrary to the established historiographic tradition, it can be said that Chingi-tura was not abandoned after the death or murder of the Tyumen Khan Ibrahim (Ibak) no later than 1495. The collapse of the city is associated with the crisis of the Tyumen Khanate itself in late 1510. Despite the apparent decrease of its importance, the city continued to exist and play a certain role in the political ideology of Khan Kuchum, a grandson of Ibrahim. It was finally abandoned by the Tatars after Yermak’s campaign. Owing to this, by 1586, the time of the construction of Russian Tyumen nearby, it was already called as “an empty settlement”. Further understanding of Chingi-tura role in the history of the Siberian statehood of the Shibanids is impossible without the urgent continuation of archaeological excavations of the settlement remains that have survived to this day.

The purpose of the study. The purpose of our research is to study the genesis of Naki Isanbet’s comedic text “Jiran chichan belan Karachach sylu” (“Red-haired chichyan and Black-haired beauty”, 1942). Materials and methods of research: The material for the study was preserved in the archives of Naki Isanbet’s “Red-haired chichyan and Black-haired beauty” comedy versions. Its study allows us to reconstruct the nature of the author’s idea. The study was conducted using genetic, cultural-historical, and comparative research methods, the choice of which is determined by the nature of the analyzed text. The novelty of the research consists in a comprehensive study of the history of the creation and existence of this comedy in Tatar culture and the identification of its role in popularizing information about the Golden Horde among the Tatars. Research results. Naki Isanbet’s comedy “Jiren chichan belan Karachach sylu” (“Red-haired chichyan and Black-haired beauty”, 1942) is a vivid evidence of the valorization of national cultural values during the Great Patriotic War. During the short period the playwright managed to perpetuate national images of heroes on the stage: Idegey, Tulyak, Jiren chichyan and Karachech sylu. Their roots go back to the glorious history of medieval Tatar states. During the Great Patriotic War, the voices of Jiren chichyan and Karachech sylu (14th century) were heard from the Tatar stage, and people got acquainted with the instructions of Jamukha chichyan (12th century). The performance and the work were banned by censorship. The work was published in 1963 and returned to the stage in 1999 (directed by Farid Bikchantaev).
Engagement of European Countries in the Implementation of the US Indo-Pacific Strategy (Part 1)
Authors: Shumilov M. M.
Published: December 2023

Globalization has contributed to the development of economic relations between Europe and the Indo-Pacific. However, after 2011 they were influenced by the American “pivot to Asia” and the shift of US attention from countering international terrorism to rivalry with the “revisionist” powers — Russia and China. In 2019, with the adoption of the US Indo-Pacific Strategy, China became their main regional rival. The rivalry with him provided for the Americans to unite their Asian allies in a network of managed formal alliances, as well as to connect Great Britain and France to solving strategic tasks. On February 11, 2022, a new Indo-Pacific strategy of the United States appeared. This document emphasized the strategic value and increasing role of Great Britain, France, the EU and NATO in Indo-Pacific and set the task of building bridges between the Indo-Pacific and Euro-Atlantic regions. The main role in its solution was assigned to AUKUS, a trilateral military alliance of the United States, Great Britain and Australia, created on September 15, 2021. At about the same time, France, Germany, the Netherlands and the European Union approved their own strategies in Indo-Pacific. They had in common an unwillingness to see China as the main opponent in the context of the US-Chinese rivalry. At the same time, the documents did not indicate that Europe was equidistant from global rivals. On the one hand, being part of the collective West, the EU demonstrated its support to America, on the other, being the most important economic partner of the Celestial Empire, it refused to see it as an existential threat to its security. Against this background, a similar British document published in March 2021 stood out, characterized by a hostile attitude towards China. However, significant differences in the strategies of European countries were offset by their membership in NATO. At the Alliance summit in Madrid in June 2022 the Europeans, together with other allies, proclaimed a strategic course for “systemic rivalry” with the PRC in the context of the interconnection of the security of the Euro-Atlantic and the development of the situation in the Indo-Pacific. With the signing of the NATO-EU joint declaration in Brussels on January 10, 2023, there was a further rapprochement of the two Western structures on an anti-Chinese basis, as well as the complete subordination of Europe to the interests of American global policy.
European Choice of Russian Civilization: The Imperatives of 2023

For a long time, Russia has seen itself as a significant, specific part of European civilization. This was refused to Russia at the turn of 2008–2009. Further development took place in the context of regionalization, a systemic world crisis and an increase in contradictions between Russia and Europe. As a result, today Russia is ready to recognize its historical relationship with Europe, without any systemic obligations on this basis.

Thus, firstly, it was not Russia that left Europe, but Russia that decided to “exclude” from Europe. Secondly, for us, Shakespeare, who is forgotten in Britain, and Remarque, who was forgotten in Germany, will remain part of our identity. The lack of culture of “cancellation” has become a symbol of modern Europe, but for us this is a path to nowhere. Last. Russian civilization is larger and more complex than European: it is Eurasian civilization.
