Anti-Colonial Orientalism: Descriptions of Khrushchev’s Visits to the Countries of South and Southeast Asia in 1955 and 1960
Authors: Savitsky Evgeny
Published: January 2025

In 1955 and 1960 N. S. Khrushchev made long trips to the countries of South and Southeast Asia, visiting Afghanistan, India, Burma and Indonesia. These trips were covered in detail in the Soviet press. After the completion of the trips, their detailed descriptions were published in the form of books written by Soviet journalists: “Mission of Friendship” (1956) and “The Awakened East” (1960). Descriptions of travel to the East were one of the most popular genres of Orientalist literature in the 19th and 20th centuries. Khrushchev's visits took place after the end of the first wave of decolonization and at the beginning of the second. The article examines the extent to which descriptions of the Soviet leader's travels manage to avoid colonial stereotypes. It is concluded that during the era of the “thaw” and decolonization, serious conscious work took place to develop a new official language, to overcome both Stalin’s great power legacy and colonial stereotypes that had pre-revolutionary origins. At the same time, approaches change between 1955 and 1960. If in 1955 attempts were made to move away from the epic modality of narration characteristic of socialist realism of the Stalin era, then in 1960 much more multifaceted work was carried out to construct a new temporality of narration, partly reminiscent of the avant-garde experiments of the 1910s — 1920s and including a new understanding of the figure of the author and viewer-traveler. Many of the techniques used by Soviet journalists anticipated later approaches of postcolonial criticism. The importance of developing this new political language is pointed out not only for foreign policy, but also for the ideology of “friendship of peoples” within the country, which has not received enough attention in existing studies.
Institutional Forms of British Colonial Policy towards Christian Communities in the Holy Land in the Mandate Period, 1920s — 1930s
Authors: Fadeyev Ivan
Published: January 2025

In this article, the author seeks to delineate the fundamental tenets of British policy towards the Christian communities of Palestine and to elucidate the mandate administration's role in facilitating their autonomous development. He provides a concise yet insightful overview of this policy, demonstrating the British aspiration to maintain a semblance of continuity with the socio-religious policies of the Ottoman authorities on the one hand, and to transform them by extending the autonomous rights of the millets on the other. The author provides a concise analysis of the circumstances surrounding four religious establishments within the specified jurisdiction, namely, the Anglican Diocese of Jerusalem, the Latin and Greek Orthodox Patriarchates of Jerusalem, and the Orthodox communities of the Russian tradition. He emphasises that the British administration had reservations about the majority of Christian communities in the area, perceiving them as conduits for external political influences in the Holy Land. The Greek and Russian Orthodox communities were subjected to financial control by the Mandate administration for reasons pertaining to both economics and politics. The Mandate authorities sought to prevent foreign governments, namely those of Greece and the atheist Bolshevik regime, from interfering in the internal affairs of these communities. The Appendix contains the first Russian translation of the 1921 Orthodox Patriarchate Ordinance.

Authors: Gromova Anna
Published: January 2025

The article examines the military service of Tsesarevich Nicholas Alexandrovich, the future Emperor Nicholas II, in the Life Guards Preobrazhensky Regiment in 1892—1894 under the command of Grand Duke Konstantin Konstantinovich. The article reflects the history of personal relations between the Tsesarevich and the Grand Duke, details of the service of the heir to the throne in one of the oldest and most famous regiments of the Russian Guards. The author attempts to show the peculiarities of the Tsesarevich's formation as an officer of the Russian Imperial Army, who knew well all military traditions, cared for the soldiers, and took part in manoeuvres, exercises and camp training sessions on an equal footing with everyone else. The author proposes the conclusion that the strict discipline and responsibility inherent in Emperor Nicholas II was the result of his military service.
Russia’s Reaction to the Colonial Division of Africa (Based on Materials From Russian Periodicals of the Late 19th Century)
Authors: Denisova Tatyana
Published: January 2025

The history of the African continent, perhaps more than any other, is full of cataclysms and turning points that radically changed the lives of indigenous peoples and predetermined the course of their further development. In the 15th century, such were the large-scale penetration of Europeans into Tropical Africa and the slave trade started by them, which brought untold tragedies to the inhabitants of the continent. In the 19th century, Africa began to be viewed by industrial circles in Europe as a vast market for industrial goods, an area for investment of capital and a source of raw materials. Africans were still assigned the role of slaves, but on their own lands. The abolitionists’ call for a crusade against the slave trade coincided with the desire of the governments of the most powerful European countries to begin establishing colonies on the continent. True, European colonies in Africa appeared much earlier, back in the 15th—16th centuries, if we consider the first Portuguese settlements as such, but this was limited, or enclave, colonialism. The colonial partitioning meant that all leading European powers of that time were involved in the fight for “a piece of the pie”. The authors of the paper focus on the still understudied Russian reaction to the colonial division of Africa and to the course and results of the Berlin Conference of 1884—1885.
The Institutional Policies of the British Administration and New Communal Identities in Mandatory Palestine, 1920s — 1930s
Authors: Fadeyev Ivan
Published: January 2025

In this article, the author examines the British approach to engaging with religious communities in Mandatory Palestine in the context of the institutional policies of communalism implemented in other parts of the empire. He draws on institutional theory of identity to demonstrate the extent of continuity and divergence between the Ottoman and British administrations in these approaches. The author posits that by preserving and modernising the Ottoman millet system, the British authorities sought to define local differences and grievances not as political but as religious, thereby presenting themselves as an impartial arbiter. This approach potentially ensured the stability of their rule. This policy, which built upon imperial colonial policies tested in India and Egypt, also served to entrench communal identities, leading to the strengthening of communalist tendencies and the crystallisation of ethno-confessional identities under the influence of ideas of nationalism. This fostered divisions both within and between ethnic communities along confessional lines. The policy established the conditions for a proliferation of “communal violence” across the British Empire, which would have a significant impact on the future trajectory of the Middle East, affecting all major actors in international relations, including the United States and the USSR.

Transformative Experiences and Responsible Visitation in Yellowstone National Park:The Case of Canyon Village Concessionaire Seasonal Employees
Authors: Coffey Leah , Benjamin Stefanie
Published: January 2025

Immersive encounters with nature have the power to catalyze enduring shifts in attitudes towards conservation and foster pro-environmental behaviors. Employing qualitative research methodologies, I delved into the experiences of concessionaire seasonal employees at Canyon Village within Yellowstone National Park (YELL). By exploring how their seasonal roles engendered a heightened reverence for the land, a sense of stewardship, and a deeper connection to the natural world, I conducted face-to-face semi-structured interviews with concessionaire seasonal employees in Canyon Village from the 2015 and 2023 seasons. I crafted an autoethnography, recounting my own experiences as a seasonal employee in 2015. I identified five themes, with participants highlighting the setting of YELL and the social bonds forged with fellow seasonal workers as pivotal elements of their transformative journey. Additionally, there are tangible solutions from this research that are beneficial to the NPS and concessionaires. This research will also assist the NPS with the strategic mission of cultivating close relationships with the concessionaires operating in YELL. Recognizing concessionaire seasonal employees as allies to the National Park Service (NPS), they can contribute to the overarching goals and mission of conservation and preservation.

Authors: Turner Jeff , Gerbers Kellie , Jostad Jeremy , Bell Brent
Published: January 2025

The outdoor industry is growing in the U.S., and its economic impact has been well documented. One pathway toward employment in the outdoor industry has been undergraduate training in an outdoor academic program (OAP). Undergraduate OAPs require significant financial support, access to outdoor spaces, and specialized faculty training. Consequently, OAPs remain challenging to justify to college administrators. The alumni perspective is critical to communicating the value of the long-term impacts of graduating from OAPs. This study explored the perceived significance of experiences in undergraduate OAPs and how those experiences impacted graduates’ careers. The study utilized a Significant Life Experience (SLE) framework and recruited alumni of three longstanding OAPs via an Internet survey. The respondents found their OAP to be extremely impactful on their career, whether in the outdoor industry or another field. College administrators and faculty can utilize the findings of this study as they consider the value of OAPs.
Changes in the frequency and persistence of the Vangengeim-Girs macro-circulation forms in the period 1979–2023
Authors: Degirmendžić Jan
Published: January 2025

The significantly faster increase in Arctic temperature compared to the global average is causing changes in wind patterns in the mid-latitudes of the upper troposphere. Studies suggest possible changes in the geometry of wind fields, evident in the waviness of geopotential lines or in a series of discrete circulation patterns. This study aligns with the latter research focus. The objective of the analysis is to estimate long-term trends in the Vangengeim-Girs (V-G) macroforms from 1979 to 2023, and since 1999, which is considered a breaking point in the course of Arctic warming.
Trend coefficients were estimated for the 45-year period and in moving 21-year window for characteristics describing V-G forms variability. The results indicate a nonlinear trend in the annual frequency of W and E forms, the number of E episodes, and the duration of C and W episodes. Other parameters maintained a consistent direction of change (+/−) throughout the study period: frequency of C(+), number of W(+), C(+), WEC(+) episodes, duration of WEC(−) and E(−).
Processes indicating an increase in meridionality include the decline in W frequency after 2005, the rise in E frequency after 2003, the increase in C frequency and the number of C episodes from 1979 to 2023, and the rise in the number of E episodes along with a significant decline in W episode duration after 1999.
Additionally, significant trends in the increase (decrease) in the number (duration) of all episodes suggest an increase in day-to-day circulation variability.

The aim was to study the rate and changes in the incidence (by uptake) of age-related diseases (ARDs) in 2018– 2022 through the example of a municipal hospital in Saint Petersburg.

Materials and methods. The study was carried out on the basis of records and reports for the period of 2018–2022 for the main statistical age groups (adult population (AP), working age population (WAP), persons over working age (POWA)). The incidence was analyzed for the most common ARDs (hypertensive diseases; coronary heart disease; type 2 diabetes mellitus; senile cataract, and glaucoma). The assessment of the incidence rate was carried out both for ARDs in general and for particular diseases.

Results. A long-term observation revealed that the incidence of ARDs has been increasing. In WAP, the rate of the increase in the incidence of ARDs was more pronounced compared to the same indicator in the general population surveyed (16.1 versus 5.4%). Moreover, in the post-COVID period, the incidence rate of a number of ARDs increased. In addition, a regular sequence was found in the manifestation of ARDs: hypertensive diseases, coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, senile cataract, glaucoma.

Conclusion. The incidence rate of age-related diseases has been increasing, which is especially pronounced among WAP. In the post-COVID period, these diseases were found to develop much faster. ARDs are characterized by a sequence of manifestations as patients get older, which in the future will allow to develop clearer approaches to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of ARDs depending on the age of the patient.

Published: January 2025

Aim. To establish the features of structural and functional changes in the brain in patients with schizophrenia.

Materials and methods. A morphometric analysis of the brain using MRI scans was performed, along with a clinical assessment of the electroencephalogram (EEG) of 35 patients with schizophrenia (20 men and 15 women). The control group included 18 healthy sex- and age-matched individuals (10 men and 8 women). Statistical processing was carried out using the χ2 test, the Fisher’s exact test, and the Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient.

Results. Compared to the control group, patients with schizophrenia were significantly more likely to show signs of ventricular dilation (p = 0.039), asymmetry of the lateral ventricles (p = 0.041), periventricular edema (p < 0.001), and enlargement of the subarachnoid space of the cerebellum (p = 0.004). Changes (class >1A) in the functional activity of the brain in the group of patients with schizophrenia were detected in 65.7% of the cases. In more than half of the cases, patients with schizophrenia showed decreased bioelectric activity of the brain (class 2 in 48.6% and class 3 in 11.4%); at the same time, EEG signs of paroxysmal activity were detected in a few patients (class B in 11.4% and class C in 5.7%) (p < 0.001). A statistically significant direct correlation was found between the enlargement of the subarachnoid space of the cerebellum and paroxysmal EEG activity in patients with schizophrenia (r = 0.377; p = 0.044).

Conclusion. The findings of our study highlight that the combined use of MRI and EEG can provide important information about brain pathology in schizophrenia. The data obtained are also important for testing the hypothesis on the association between vascular and functional disorders of the brain in patients with schizophrenia.
Transformation of NETs under the effect of pathogens and IgG
Authors: Kazimirskii A. N. , Salmasi J. M. , Poryadin G. V. , Panina M. I. , Kim A. E. , Rogozhina L. S.
Published: January 2025

Background. Many studies have shown that neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in the form of web-like structures are present in the peripheral blood of patients with inflammatory diseases. In our research, in addition to traditional web-like NET structures, several anomalous forms were identified, including NETs with cloud-like appearance.

Aim. To investigate morphological and functional transformation of NETs under the influence of Klebsiella pneumoniae and immunoglobulin G (IgG).

Materials and methods. The study included 42 patients of Moscow City Clinical Hospital No. 51: 28 patients with acute inflammation in the abdominal cavity (appendicitis, cholecystitis, pancreatitis, peritonitis), 6 patients diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, and 8 patients with hernias. Neutrophils were isolated using gradient-density centrifugation. To calculate NETs, we used SYBR Green I-induced fluorescence microscopy (Evrogen, Russia), with the dye specifically interacting with double-stranded DNA. The functional activity of NETs was determined in the Klebsiella pneumoniae (ATCC 700603) capture test.

Results. In patients with inflammatory diseases of the abdominal cavity in the postoperative period, the functional activity of NETs was several times lower than in healthy individuals. NETs in these patients capture and bind no more than 20 cells of the microorganism. Under the effect of IgG, neutrophil networks transform into loose cloud-like structures, which can hardly capture and bind the pathogen, binding only 8.46 ± 0.44 cells of the microorganism. Spontaneous enzymatic degradation of cloud like NETs may be accompanied by the production of secondary alteration factors.

Conclusion. The results of the study provide the grounds for the development of new approaches to elaborating vaccination regimens and using immunobiologics that require preliminary monitoring of the state of innate immunity, in particular, neutrophil networks in the patient’s body.

Aim. To conduct a comparative assessment of parameters and dynamics of pulmonary congestion according to lung ultrasound and remote dielectric sensing (ReDS) in patients hospitalized with decompensated chronic heart failure (CHF).

Materials and methods. The pilot single-center study included patients hospitalized with decompensated CHF. Lung ultrasound and ReDS were simultaneously performed within 24 hours from the moment of hospitalization and at discharge. Eight-zone lung ultrasound was performed with the calculation of the sum of B-lines. Pulmonary congestion was confirmed with the sum of B-lines ≥ 5. ReDS was performed according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Congestion was confirmed at the value of more than 35%. To determine ReDS interoperator variability, each patient was examined by two operators who were blind to each other’s findings with a 20–30-minute interval.

Results. Thirty-five patients were included in the study: 40% (n = 14) men, the average age was 71 (65.5; 78.5) years, the median NT-proBNP was 1,379 (470; 4,277) pg / l. Hydrothorax at admission was observed in 31,4% (n = 11) of patients. The incidence of pulmonary congestion according to lung ultrasound was 57.1% (n = 20): 31.4% (n = 11) of patients had mild congestion, 22.9% (n = 8) – moderate, and 2.9% (n = 1) – severe congestion. ReDS data revealed pulmonary congestion in 62.9% (n = 22) of cases, of which 37,1% (n = 13) of cases were characterized by mild, 22.9% (n = 8) – by moderate, and 2.9% (n = 1) – by severe congestion. A moderate correlation was found between ReDS (%) and lung ultrasound (sum of B-lines) findings at admission (Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient = 0.402; p = 0.017). No correlation between the two methods was found at discharge (p = 0.613). The frequency of agreement between lung ultrasound and ReDS on signs of congestion at admission was 77.1% (p = 0.004) with an average Cohen’s Kappa coefficient (κ = 0.53). The average interoperator variability in ReDS was 9.9%.

Conclusion. A moderate correlation was revealed between ReDS (%) and lung ultrasound (sum of B-lines) in detecting pulmonary congestion (Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient = 0.402; p = 0.017). No correlation between the two methods was found at discharge (p = 0.613).
Building Doors with Integrated Location-Based Emergency Call Functionality
Authors: Kuo Tzu-Wen , Lin Ching-Yuan
Published: January 2025

The aim of this study is to explore how to shorten firefighter search time during indoor fires to rescue more people, through enhancing disaster prevention capabilities with building technologies. In indoor fires, fatalities are often caused by the failure of firefighters to rescue individuals in a timely manner. How to effectively increase the probability of survival while waiting for rescue behind closed doors warrants in-depth research and analysis. Therefore, to ensure that people live in a safe environment, there is an urgent need for a building door panel material with an emergency call function to prevent such incidents from occurring. By utilizing the PRISMA method, the authors conducted a comprehensive review of existing literature to identify the key issues and limitations associated with the current search and rescue techniques. Subsequently, the identified primary factors were analyzed using the TRIZ method to determine the key factors influencing the success of rescuing trapped individuals, and a notification system was designed to address this issue. Based on the premise that it is advisable to wait for rescue during a fire, we utilize a smartphone to scan a QR code and transmit the exact location information to the fire department. Through extensive participation and feedback from firefighters, the author has developed a rescue notification door panel and has obtained a patent for it. This system can significantly reduce the time required for search and rescue operations in fire incidents. The experimental results show a reduction of one-third in search time.
Resolving the Open Problem by Proving a Conjecture on the Inverse Mostar Index for c-Cyclic
Authors: Alex Liju , Das Kinkar Chandra
Published: January 2025

Inverse topological index problems involve determining whether a graph exists with a given integer as its topological index. One such index, the Mostar index, Mo(G), is defined as: Mo(G) = Σuv∈E(G) nu(e|G) − nv(e|G), where nu(e|G) and nv(e|G) represent the number of vertices closer to vertex u than v, and closer to v than u, respectively, for an edge e = uv. The inverse Mostar index problem has gained significant attention recently. In their work, Alizadeh et al. [Solving the Mostar index inverse problem, J. Math. Chem. 62 (5) (2024) 1079–1093], proposed the following open problem: “Which nonnegative integers can be realized as Mostar indices of c-cyclic graphs, for a given positive integer c?" Subsequently, one of the present authors [On the inverse Mostar index problem for molecular graphs, Trans. Comb. 14 (1) (2024) 65–77] conjectured that, except for finitely many positive integers, all other positive integers can be realized as the Mostar index of a c-cyclic graph, where c ≥ 3. In this paper, we fully resolve this open problem by proving the aforementioned conjecture.

This article presents a literature review on the problem of pharmacotherapy for adenomyosis. A comparative analysis of the efficacy of various hormonal agents was performed. The article emphasizes the advantages of dienogest (Alvovizan), which effectively relieves clinical symptoms of adenomyosis such as dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, and heavy menstrual bleeding. Compared to levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS), dienogest significantly faster reduces the severity of pain syndrome and shortens the duration of abnormal uterine bleeding. Menstrual cycle normalization was noted with dienogest and combined oral contraceptives (COCs), but dienogest was more effective. In a comparative analysis of ovarian volumes, it was recorded that there was a significant decrease in ovarian size in both comparison groups.
Conclusion. Dienogest (Alvovizan) is an effective medication for pain relief in adenomyosis. It promotes uterine volume reduction, which significantly improves the quality of life of patients. Abnormal uterine bleeding is effectively controlled by this medication.
Key words: adenomyosis, dienogest, Alvovizan, combined oral contraceptives, levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system, gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists

This article presents a clinical case of chemotherapy-induced thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) in a patient with ovarian cancer, which manifested as kidney failure. Laboratory and biochemical findings were analyzed, which were initially misinterpreted, and only kidney biopsy allowed to make the correct diagnosis and initiate pathogenetic therapy. Cancer patients are at higher risk of secondary TMA, which requires closer attention to symptoms that are not characteristic of the underlying disease.

Objective. To study the reproductive health in women with an artificial cardiac pacemaker (ACP).
Patients and methods. The study included 128 pregnant women whose obstetric and gynecological histories were analyzed. All patients were divided into two groups: the study group – 68 patients with ACP, the comparison group – 60 women without cardiac pathology with a singleton pregnancy. Both groups were comparable in terms of age. Complicated obstetric history was revealed in 22 (32.4%) patients in the study group and 26 (43.3%) in the comparison group.
Results. The mean age at menarche in women with cardiac pathology was 12.9 ± 1.5 years. The correlation analysis revealed no direct effect of age at ACP insertion on age at menarche (R = -0.12; p = 0.34). The leading gynecological pathology was cervical ectropion, followed by chronic salpingo-oophoritis, endometriosis and ovarian cysts. A history of gynecological diseases was noted in 32 patients in the study group (47.1%) and 33 patients in the comparison group (55%). There was no correlation between the presence of cardiac pathology and gynecological diseases (G = 0.45, p = 0.73). In the study group,
a history of infertility was 2 times more frequent; among medical abortions, in 1/3 of cases they were motivated by medical indications. There was no correlation between the presence of cardiac pathology with ACP insertion and the outcome of previous pregnancies (G = 0.27, p = 0.62).
Conclusion. No direct effect of ACP implantation on the female reproductive system was identified.
