Authors: Podorozhnyuk Vitaliy , Lialiuk Оlena
Published: August 2024

This work examines the realities of social networks around the platforms of media giants on the world stage and the potential transition to a new stage - web3 marketing, thanks to the development and modernization of blockchain technologies. Advertising platforms are already changing marketing strategies and interactions with customers through targeted and sensory marketing, and the opportunities and challenges facing the industry in implementing centralized and decentralized technologies in the blockchain ecosystem are discussed.
To begin with, modern approaches to promoting brands with the help of online marketing were considered, taking as an example targeted advertising on web resources. The next stage of the analysis of the marketing complex is the content strategy of attracting the target audience by means of the calculation of key metrics. Through this, you can gain insight into ways to directly influence key metrics to better understand your target customer's desires. The third stage revealed the history of the development of the Internet from version web1 to web3 using examples that influenced the development of modern finance and marketing strategies for brand promotion. The final stage in the work was the disclosure of the concept of decentralized and centralized financial systems based on blockchain technology. Thanks to this, it is possible to see the impact of these systems in the world economy, as well as to reveal their positive and negative sides, which mutually replace each other, looking at the problem set by the user, using blockchain technology, as an exchange of financial assets.
As a result, the principle of setting up the metauniverse as one of the most promising traffic channels for the world economy is explained.
BEARING CAPACITY OF DRILLING PILLS ON SAVED SOILS BY NUMERICAL METHOD OF BOUNDARY ELEMENTS
Authors: Morgun Alla , Zhengfen Tian
Published: August 2024

Currently, bored piles are used on large strata of loess subsidence soils. Large diameter bored piles make it relatively easy to cut significant thicknesses of subsidence soils, dig deeper into stronger soils and transfer loads from the structure to them, and build foundations at any time of the year. The topic of the work is devoted to the topical problem of foundation construction and soil mechanics - elastic-plastic modeling of joint work of the system "soil base - brown pile" to determine the bearing capacity of the foundation to ensure stability and low subsidence of the structure, thus avoiding its possible uneven subsidence or destruction. The presence of pores in three-phase soils make it possible to obtain freedom of movement.
Soil particles can move into the pores from the places of temporary dislocation. The main characteristic feature of soil behavior is that their deformation is accompanied by plastic deformation almost from the beginning of their load, which determines the use of modern theory of plastic flow in the calculation of soil bases. Intensive development and widespread use of computers have significantly brought fundamental mathematical problems closer to applied ones, strengthened their interaction. The emergence of a new powerful method of research - numerical experiment - has never before closely linked the physical content of the problem, its mathematical formulation, numerical calculation methods and modern computers. In order to solve the nonlinear problem of geomechanics, numerical MBE was used, substantiation by theoretical calculations was performed and numerical calculation data were illustrated.

Adaptation of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in wartime conditions is a complex problem that requires attention and a comprehensive approach from governments, civil society organizations and international humanitarian organizations. This abstract offers an overview of the main aspects of the problem of adaptation of IDPs during hostilities, namely socio-economic instability, psychological and psychosocial problems, access to education and medical care, and the need for social adaptation. The authors substantiated the relevance of the study of the concept "internally a displaced person" in the conditions of modern realities of Ukrainian society. The article explains the need to determine the status of so-called forced migrants – population category, new for the history of independent Ukraine. Analyzed two socio-cultural and resource. Analysis of these problems will help to develop effective strategies and support programs for IDPs in wartime conditions aimed at improving their well-being and integration into society. The article, based on available research, analyzes the psychological problems faced by Ukrainians who were forcibly displaced as a result of Russian aggression, and which hinder their viability. An integrative model of psychological support for persons who were forcibly displaced due to Russian aggression is proposed. This model is based on the possibilities of different psychological approaches, such as psychodynamic, behavioral, cognitive, humanistic and existential. Its goal is to mobilize the internal resources of the individual, achieve existential self-expression, as well as to master health-preserving psychotechniques and build resistance to the destructive influences of the surrounding environment.

Authors: Dehghani Soltani Hormoz , Tehranchi Maryam , Taleghani Ferial , Saberi Sogol , Hodjat Mahshid
Published: August 2024

Background: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be found inside the human periodontal ligament. Application of vitamin D and photobiomodulation for regulation of the proliferation of MSCs and bone differentiation have been recently considered in cell engineering. This study is performed to evaluate the effects of photobiomodulation with 660 nm laser exposure and vitamin D on human periodontal ligament stem cells (HPDLSCs) and their osteoblastic differentiation properties. Materials and Methods: This study, was an in vitro experimental study performed on HPDLSCs in six groups of (I) control cells in the culture medium with no intervention, (II) addition of 10-7 mol vitamin D to the medium, (III) 660 nm diode laser exposure in 3 J/cm2 density of energy, (IV) 660 nm diode laser exposure in 3 J/cm2 density of energy + addition of 10-7 mol vitamin D to the medium, (V) 660 nm diode laser exposure in 5 J/cm2 density of energy, and (VI) 660 nm diode laser exposure in 5 J/cm2 density of energy + addition of 10-7 mol vitamin D to the medium. after 24 hours of the last exposure, cell viability had been assessed by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay. The expression of Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), osteopontin (OPN), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and osteocalcin (OCN) genes was also assessed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, then Alizarin red staining was used to assess calcification. Results: Combined use of 660 nm laser with 3 and 5 J/cm2 density of energy and 10-7 mol vitamin D significantly increased cell viability, osteoblastic differentiation by upregulation of RUNX2, ALP, OPN, and OCN, and calcification (P<0.05). Conclusion: The results showed that combined use of vitamin D3 and irradiation of 660 nm laser with 3 J/cm2 and particularly 5 J/cm2 energy density increased the viability of HPDLSCs and enhanced their osteoblastic differentiation.
Shakespeare's Sonnet 145 and the Challenges of Legacy Criticism
Authors: Russell Shaun James
Published: August 2024

This article re-evaluates the merits of Shakespeare's Sonnet 145 and explores its critical legacy over the past half-century. While the sonnet has typically been seen as inferior due to its use of tetrameter rather than pentameter, one article from 1971 made a case for it being the first poem Shakespeare ever wrote. Rather than prompt critical debate, the theory presented in the article gained nearly universal acceptance and has been amplified ever since. The problem I identify is that the theory itself has been adopted without due scrutiny, and that when we approach Sonnet 145 from the standpoint that it is neither inferior nor juvenilia, we can then see how the supposed aberrations are potentially deliberate choices made by Shakespeare to underscore the poem's content.

Authors: Pavić Pintarić Anita
Published: August 2024

Dieser Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit Höflichkeitsmerkmalen in der Fußballsprache, die durch metaphorische Kollokationen vermittelt werden. Es wird davon ausgegangen, dass Fußball als die vielerorts beliebteste Sportart in Zeitungsberichten auf unterschiedliche Art und Weise dargestellt wird und die Berichte, insbesondere über heimische Spieler, emotional beladen sind. In solchen Darstellungen werden häufig Spielfähigkeiten und die Taktik bewertet, wobei unterschiedliche sprachliche Mittel verwendet werden, um die Beschreibung des Spiels lebendig zu gestalten. Dabei kommen u.a. auch metaphorische Kollokationen zum Tragen. Das Ziel dieses Beitrags ist es festzustellen, ob metaphorische Kollokationen eingesetzt werden, um die Kritik abzumildern bzw. um die Texte höflich zu gestalten. Dabei wird von den Ansätzen der Höflichkeitstheorie von Brown / Levinson und Leech ausgegangen. Metaphorische Kollokationen werden nach den Kriterien von Hausmann bestimmt. Folgende Forschungsfragen werden beantwortet: Welche Höflichkeitsstrategien kann man in Bezug auf Kollokationen bestimmen? Werden diese Strategien in besonderen Textsorten verwendet (z. B. Interviews, Kommentare)? Gibt es Unterschiede oder Ähnlichkeiten in kroatischen und deutschen Texten?

Chukchi sonorant consonants in a typological perspective
Authors: Sieber Inna A.
Published: August 2024

The article focuses on the sonorant consonants of the Chukchi language. Particular attention is paid to the consonants that show considerable phonetic variation: approximants (w, j and ɰ) and r. This variation is described in terms of acoustics and articulation, typology, history and dialectology of the Chukchi-Koryak languages, sociolinguistics and the influence of Russian. We use several approaches to link facts about the Chukchi language and explain some realisations of sonorants, as well as draw attention to cross-linguistic comparisons of approximants and rhotics. The study uses field recordings in the Amguema dialect of Chukchi.
“Language and body semiotics”. Grigory E. Kreidlin’s research on embodied semiotics
Authors: Nikolaeva Yulia V.
Published: August 2024

The interaction between the body and the environment through non-verbal signs and the assignment of linguistic designations to these signs determines the transition from mere existence to the semiotic level. One of the basic principles of this approach is the following: the body as a tool in interaction with the environment and other subjects serves as a basis for evaluating all contexts and events primarily as favorable (for the existence and development of the body), unfavorable and neutral, as well as for determining the importance of individual events. In this way, the body becomes the source of the meanings inherent in signs. The body as a source of symbolic meanings has been considered in a wide range of fields, from psychoanalysis, philosophy, and art theory to studies in anthropology and cognitive science. The knowledge accumulated at the present stage allows us to study in more detail how body movements and, in general, the presence of the body and its parts in the communicative space are embedded in symbolic communication. The two-volume “Language and semiotics of the body”, written by a team of authors led by G. E. Kreidlin (2020), considers movements, body parts and their linguistic designations as a coherent and consistent sign system, which corresponds to the approach adopted within embodied semiotics, in which communicative events acquire their meaning based on the experience of their existence in the surrounding world and bodily interaction with it. This article considers the text of the collective monograph “Language and semiotics of the body” and modern approaches to the study of the symbolic representation of the body language as a culturally specific phenomenon. Although G. E. Kreidlin himself speaks of his field as non-verbal semiotics or multimodal linguistics, the publication of the book “Language and Semiotics of the Body” can be said to mark a significant contribution to the representation of embodied semiotics in the Russian-speaking linguistic space.
Asymmetry in Russian metalinguistic comparatives: corpus and experimental evidence
Authors: Zevakhina Natalia A. , Shchipkova Alina A.
Published: August 2024

The paper reports a corpus and experimental study of three types of Russian asymmetric metalinguistic comparatives (lučše, skoree, and bol’še meta-comparatives), two parts of which belong to different syntactic categories and/or have different morphological forms. We discuss their morphological and syntactic properties and uncover diversity among their types and various grammatical patterns that they allow. From a morphological point of view, infinitives in meta-comparatives tend to be imperfective, and finite verbs in the subjunctive and indicative mood are generally perfective. From a syntactic point of view, asymmetric meta-comparatives are either bi-clausal, bi-phrasal, or mixed (clausal-phrasal). The bi-phrasal variety shows functional homogeneity. Lučše meta-comparatives are more frequent in the corpus and are evaluated as more grammatical than skoree meta-comparatives. Furthermore, the asymmetric pattern ‘noun phrase + infinitive clause’ is evaluated as more grammatical than the pattern ‘finite clause + infinitive сlause’ for lučše meta-comparatives, while there is no such contrast between these patterns for skoree meta-comparatives. Our study sheds light on the grammatical portrait of Russian meta-comparatives as well as on the use and evaluation of asymmetric meta-comparatives in a natural language in general and thus contributes to the discussion of grammatical asymmetry in parallel syntactic structures, such as comparative and coordinated structures, among others.

Published: August 2024

La formación de los dientes tiene gran importancia en la vida animal gracias a funciones, como la alimentación, la fonética o el ataque-defensa. La biomineralización fisiológica del desarrollo del órgano dental correspondiente al incisivo, diente de crecimiento continuo en ratones, constituye un modelo de investigación, que permite comprender los procesos involucrados en la formación de los tejidos mineralizados dentarios (esmalte y dentina) y periodontales (cemento y hueso alveolar). En estos procesos, pocos comprendidos fisiológicamente, participan epiteliocitos y filamentos intermedios de citoqueratinas (CK). Actualmente, el conocimiento sobre la identificación, la distribución y la participación de las CK durante la odontogénesis, particularmente, las CK19 y CK14, es escaso. Por ello, el objetivo del presente trabajo fue identificar y describir la expresión inmunohistoquímica de CK 19 y 14 durante el desarrollo dental. Para ello, se analizaron 12 incisivos de crecimiento continuo de ratones macho Swiss WT (Janvier, St Berthevin), de 7 días de nacidos. El estudio comprendió un análisis inmunohistoquímico con anticuerpos primarios monoclonales de conejo anti-CK 14 y anti-CK 19. Las observaciones se realizaron en un microscopio Leica DM6. Los resultados muestras que la CK19 se localiza en la lámina dental, las células del asa cervical y de la pulpa dental, mientras que la CK14, se localiza, esencialmente, en la lámina dental, ameloblastos y dentinoblastos. Se recomiendan futuros análisis inmunohistoquímicos (CK19/CK14) en ratones transgénicos, con el propósito de lograr una mayor comprensión de la función de estas CK, durante la formación dental.

Published: August 2024

In the age of differential learning today, good mathematical literacy is required. Teachers need to understand how to apply effective differential learning and how to monitor students' mathematical literacy during the learning process. This literature review aims to get an idea of how the effectiveness of learning differentiates against the mathematical literacy of students. A literature review was done by collecting various other research articles from 2020 to 2024 using Google Scholar. The author obtained 13 articles using the search keyword "differentiated learning" and 63 articles using the search term "mathematical literature". From the articles obtained through the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) method, which consists of four stages, namely identification, screening, and eligibility, and included, 11 articles were derived that match the purposes of the literature review. Based on the analysis of the review literature, the authors concluded that differentiation approaches could be integrated into learning models such as Problem-Based Learning (PBL), Discovery Learning, and Project Based Learning (PjBL) by considering student learning styles and needs. In differential learning, the use of learning models in the classroom has proved to have a significant impact on students' mathematical literacy.

Janus Kinase (JAK) Inhibitors: A New Frontier in the Treatment of Vitiligo
Authors: Alapatt Catherine F. , Greenspan Amanda , Fardos Mohammad
Published: August 2024

Up to 70 million people worldwide suffer from vitiligo, an autoimmune disease characterized by the destruction of melanin. Current treatment options vary in efficacy. The disease manifests clinically as white circular macules of depigmentation seen primarily on the face and appendages.1 The pathophysiology of vitiligo is multifactorial and still being studied. One proposed mechanism behind the pathophysiology of vitiligo involves the upregulation of interferon gamma (IFN-γ) with downstream effects on JAK/STAT pathways resulting in CXCL10 transcription.1,2 Here we discuss Ruxolitinib, a topical JAK inhibitor, that recently passed its clinical trial phase, and Ritlecitinib, an oral JAK inhibitor which is currently undergoing clinical trials.3,4 These drugs are a reflection of the recent increase in targeted therapies for dermatologic diseases. The promising results of these drugs are widening the possible treatment options for patients that suffer from vitiligo.
Quincke’s Phenomenon – The ACE Inhibitor Culprit
Authors: Rattu Mohammad A. , Maddock Eric A.
Published: August 2024

Angioedema is defined as a non-pitting edema that involves the subcutaneous layer and additionally may include submucosal layers of tissue which pertain to the face, oral cavity, larynx, lips, extremities and gastrointestinal tract; this becomes a life-threatening situation particularly when there is involvement of the larynx. Angioedema may be classified as either histamine-mediated or bradykinin-mediated. Histamine-mediated, associated with mast-cell and basophil activation, is the most common. Bradykinin-mediated (secondary to hereditary, acquired C1-inhibitor deficiency, ACEI-associated angioedema) occur when an allergic reaction and hives will not trigger this reaction. The C1-inhibitor is a regular of the complement system and either dysfunction or lack thereof of the inhibitor itself will result in an excess of kallikrein, which results in the proteolysis of high-molecular-weight kininogen and bradykinin; this cascade leads to increased edema and vascular permeability. Associated angioedema results from the decreased degradation of bradykinin. This spiral cascade involving plasmin, XIIa and kallikrein leads to generation of bradykinin and edema. Since this process is not clearly a distinct disease, nor simply a syndrome, we refer to it as a phenomenon.

The article deals with the issues related to the definition of students’ competenc-es in the field of self-regulated learning and their assessment in a mixed environment in the con-text of Kazakhstani higher education institution. The aim of the study is to develop an approach to the assessment of self-regulated learning competences of students studying in a blended envi-ronment. The descriptors of competences characterising students’ appropriation of ways of activi-ty were formed; assessment tools have been developed in the form of practice-oriented tasks using the assessment methodology developed by the Samara branch of the RANEPA.The experiment was conducted with the participation of 51 students in the 1st year of the educational programme “Pedagogy and Psychology”. The results of the study allowed us to draw the following conclu-sions: students’ internal resources for regulating their own learning are general competences, which include the following aspects of activity: determining the request for information, extract-ing and primary processing (systematisation) of information, processing information, planning the learning process, evaluating the product and results of learning activities, evaluating and planning their own progression; methods and assessment tools are practice-oriented tasks.

The article analyzes the main directions of integration of universities and employers, considered in the context of formation of social capital of participants of educational relations. The empirical basis of the work was formed by: 1) data on self-evaluation for 2023 of four leading universities of the Omsk region, differing in the structure of educational programs and industry focus (OmSTU, OmSU, OmGUPS, SibADI); 2) the results of questionnaire survey of the main participants of the educational process: students and employers of these universities; 3) data from the survey of university youth within the framework of the Federal project “Runway 2023” (2,139 students of these universities). The novelty of the study lies in the substantiation of the practices of integration of universities and employers that have developed in the educational environment as ways of reproducing social capital for the key participants of educational relations. These practices contribute to the establishment of trust between the participants of educational relations; form communications that become resources for obtaining benefits for the parties involved in cooperation; help students to master the corporate norms and rules of employers; reduce the level of transaction costs in employment, etc. It has been established that the main forms of integration of universities and their partners are realized mainly to achieve a high level of postgraduate employment of graduates, which in practice are associated with the reproduction of social capital of both open and closed type. Based on the analyzed sources, the following hypotheses were confirmed: firstly, representatives of employers who have experience of cooperation with universities are more likely to prefer to use and develop such formats of integration with educational organizations that are focused on solving the problems of youth employment, i.e. they use the accumulated social capital to build up the human capital of their organizations; secondly, the level of students’ readiness to recommend an educational organization for admission and graduation. The authors show promising directions of research on the subject of the article: 1) the establishment of system-wide and industry barriers that impede the development of bridging social capital for the production of an innovative product; 2) a comprehensive analysis of bridging social capital, which reflects the quality of communication and cooperation in the context of personal responsibility and competencies of officials of both participants in the educational process.
Educational Trajectories of Parents as a Factor of Reproductive Behavior on the Example of the Republic of Tatarstan (2013-2022)

The aim of the study was to assess the impact of parents’ educational trajectories on reproductive behavior using the example of the Republic of Tatarstan for 2013-2022. The hypothesis of the study: the increase in the educational level of parents in 2013-2022 led to delayed parenthood, an increase in the average age of parents at the birth of first-born children, a decrease in boarding periods due to the effect of catching up growth; the proportion of children born to parents with high professional qualifications increases. The main methods were a cross-sectional analysis of data from sociological studies on the generative behavior of men and women in the Republic of Tatarstan, a statistical analysis of time series of indicators of age and education of parents. As a result of the analysis of sociological research data, differences in the number of available and desired children in the family were revealed, depending on the level of education of the parents and the territory of their residence. For 2013-2022 The share of births to mothers with higher and incomplete higher education on average in the Russian Federation increased from a third of all births to half, and in the Republic of Tatarstan – from 50% to 60%. Parents receiving higher education leads to a shift in the birth calendar: an increase in the protonatal period, while the hypothesis of a reduction in the periods between the births of the first and second children, depending on the level of education of the parents, has not been confirmed. The period between the first and second births ranges from 2 to 6 years, for women with higher education and an academic degree, it is slightly longer. The novelty of the work lies in assessing the impact of parental education on the desired number of children, determining the average age of the father at the birth of the first child and the boarding periods, their assessment in the context of the city-village based on the results of sociological studies on the generative behavior of men and women in the Republic of Tatarstan.
Pflegekinderhilfe in der DDR – zur Erweiterung des Blicks der Aufarbeitungsforschung zur Kinder- und Jugendhilfe
Authors: Ehlke Carolin
Published: August 2024

Die Pflegekinderhilfe in der DDR war neben der Heimerziehung eine Form der Unterbringung junger Menschen außerhalb ihres Elternhauses. Während mittlerweile einige sozialwissenschaftliche Studien die Strukturen und oft grenzverletzenden sowie gewaltvollen Lebensbedingungen im Rahmen der Heimerziehung in der DDR untersucht haben, ist bisher wenig über die Unterbringung in Pflegefamilien bekannt. Um auch die Pflegekinderhilfe umfassend aufzuarbeiten, bedarf es zunächst der Rekonstruktion von organisationalen Strukturen und Verfahrenspraxen, die mitunter von den rechtlichen Vorgaben und ideologischen Ansprüchen des DDR-Staates abweichen konnten. Der Zugang über Strukturen und Verfahren ermöglicht es, ‚Einfallstore‘ für Grenzverletzungen zu erörtern. Der vorliegende Beitrag ist ein erster Versuch, die bisherigen Erkenntnisse zur Pflegekinderhilfe zusammenzufassen und damit – als einen ersten Schritt einer Aufarbeitung – Hinweise auf den organisationalen Alltag dieser Hilfeform zu geben.
Experience in using coal flotation waste to insulate the head part of forging ingots

The experience of using coal flotation waste (CFW) as a weakly exothermic insulating backfill for insulating the head part of forging steel ingots is presented. It has been shown that when using weakly exothermic fills based on single-component fills in the form of CFW, it is possible to reduce the chemical heterogeneity of the ingot with the production of a closed shrinkage cavity, it allows to halve heat loss, the depth of penetration of shrinkage looseness into the body of the ingot, reduce the segregation of impurities, and compact the head part of the ingot and increase the yield, and the profitable part of the ingot is more dense and less contaminated with non-metallic inclusions. The studied patterns of the formation of a closed shrinkage cavity with a dense “bridge” in the head part of a quiet steel ingot made it possible to develop and implement a technology for casting large forging ingots of sufficiently high quality using weakly exothermic heat-insulating materials based on metallurgical production waste (CFW).
