The Myth of Normative Development
Authors: Forbes Samuel H. , Aneja Prerna , Guest Olivia
Published: October 2021

Over the past decade, the field of psychology has come under increasing fire for the replicability of purported findings, for the transparency of the methods used, and for the generalisability of the claims. In general, these criticisms have focused on the methodological and statistical aspects of published work. Herein, we highlight the importance of diversity of both our experimental samples and of our researchers within developmental psychology as a barrier to generalisability. Far beyond being a purely methodological question, e.g., of heterogenous sampling, ignoring the importance of context and environment in development implies risking failing to comprehend pivotal facets of development. Importantly, we discuss the harms done to our science's theoretical contributions as a direct result of defining and maintaining misplaced "norms" or "normative" developmental scenarios. Finally, we outline how even small steps by individuals can be impactful, such as ceasing to request unsubstantiated comparisons to the Western "norm" in peer review.
Psychosocial Challenges and Protective Factors Among MSM Living with HIV: An Integrative Review of the Literature Using an Intersectional Framework
Authors: Amato Anthony Theodore , Émond Gilbert
Published: October 2021

Objective: Given the emerging data on intersecting identities involving men who have sex with men (MSM) with respect to various factors, there lies a need to include one’s human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) status in this intersection, given the experience of stigmatization and inequalities. This integrative review covers psychosocial risk and protective factors experienced by MSM of HIV-positive status, while also considering other intersecting identities (e.g., ethnicity, older age). Method: Following a standardized search inquiry, 2139 records were identified and narrowed down to 24 peer reviewed articles. Results: Psychological and social protective factors such as positive mental health outcomes; lessened or resolved internalized homophobia; social networks in younger and older MSM, with a discussion on the contextually relevant impact that religion has among Black MSM. Some risk factors such as co-occurring stigmas, psychological distress, exposure to violence, and trauma are explained.Implications: These immediate findings highlight factors that contribute to resilient pathways among ethnic minorities, and of other intersections among sexual minority men. In order to mitigate risks, developing tailoredinterventions with a focus on co-occurring and syndemic stigmas is crucial, to help ensure the psychological and social well-being of diverse HIV-positive MSM. An adapted version to the minority stress model is thus presented.

Published: October 2021

Recent developments of open-source online eye-tracking algorithms suggests that they may be ready for use in online studies, thereby overcoming the limitations of in-lab eye-tracking studies. However, to date there have been limited tests of the efficacy of online eye-tracking for decision-making and cognitive psychology. In this online study, we explore the potential and the limitations of online eye-tracking tools for decision-making research using the webcam-based open-source library Webgazer (Papoutsaki et al., 2016). Our study had two aims. For our first aim we assessed different variables that might affect the quality of eye-tracking data. In our experiment (N = 210) we measured a within-subjects variable of adding a provisional chin rest and a between-subjects variable of corrected vs uncorrected vision. Contrary to our hypotheses, we found that the chin rest had a negative effect on data quality. In accordance with out hypotheses, we found lower quality data in participants who wore glasses. Other influence factors are discussed, such as the frame rate. For our second aim (N = 44) we attempted to replicate a decision-making paradigm where eye-tracking data was acquired using offline means (Amasino et al., 2019). We found some relations between choice behavior and eye-tracking measures, such as the last fixation and the distribution of gaze points at the moment right before the choice. However, several effects could not be reproduced, such as the overall distribution of gaze points or dynamic search strategies. Therefore, our hypotheses only find partial evidence. This study gives practical insights for the feasibility of online eye-tacking for decision making research as well as researchers from other disciplines.
Viscous micropump of immiscible fluids using magnetohydrodynamic effects and a power-law conducting fluid
Authors: Gómez López Juan Rolando , Hernández Roblero Clara Guadalupe , Escandón Colin Juan Pablo , Vargas Aguilar René Osvaldo
Published: October 2021

Small-scale fluid transport methods have grown significantly in recent years, mainly in applications in microfluidic systems. Therefore, the present study analyzes the movement of two-layers of immiscible fluids within a parallel flat plates microchannel. The fluid layers are composed of a Newtonian fluid and a power-law fluid. The pumping is produced by magnetohydrodynamics effects that act on the non-Newtonian conducting fluid dragging the non-conducting Newtonian fluid by viscous forces. Under the consideration of a laminar, incompressible, and unidirectional flow, the dimensionless mathematical model is established by the momentum equations for each fluid, together with the corresponding boundary conditions at solid-liquid and liquid-liquid interfaces. The problem formulation is semi-analytically solved using the Newton-Raphson method. The results are presented as a function of the velocity profiles and flow rate, showing interesting behaviors that depend on the physical and electrical properties of each fluid and flow conditions via the dimensionless parameters such as the flow behavior index, a magnetic parameter related to Lorenz forces, the fluids viscosity ratios and the dimensionless liquid-liquid interface position. This work contributes to the understanding of the various immiscible non-conducting fluids pumping techniques that can be used in microdevices.
Predictive study of ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism coexistence in Ba1-xGdxRuO3 induced by Gd-doping
Authors: LABDELLI ABBES , Hamdad N.
Published: October 2021

Some ferromagnetic alloys which adopt the perovskite or double-perovskite structure exhibit some remarkable properties, such as electromagnetic effects, charge and orbital ordering, i.e., dielectric and magnetoresistance effects in the same time. These phenomena are related to both electrical conductivity and spin orbit orientation. In order to optimize and explore the structural, magnetic and electronic properties of GdxBa1-xRuO3 alloy, we investigated here the first-principles calculations using the generalized gradient approximation (GGA+U+SO) as implemented in the Wien2K package. The concentration classification of GdxBa1-xRuO3 alloy with (x = 0, 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 0.875, 1) is given. In this work, we have identified features such transition phases, spin ordered and charge conduction that enable a priori of both crystal structure and magnetic behavior prediction.Our considerable GdxBa1-xRuO3 alloy is a half-metallic in the cubic phase, and, Mott insulator for x=0.875 and semiconductor for x=1 in the orthorhombic phase. The GdxBa1-xRuO3 alloy therefore undergoes a transition between a cubic phase and another orthorhombic at x = 0.5. It is clear that at this point our alloy (Gd0.5Ba0.5RuO3) is at the same time FM and AFM A-type, in another way, we can say that A-AFM and FM configurations coexist in our alloys. In the case of our GdxBa1-xRuO3 alloy, we can see that the total magnetic moment increases linearly with the concentrations "x" since it has passed from 15.99 μB for x = 0 to 39.95 μB for x = 0.5, this is valid in the cubic phase. That is related to a heavily magnetic moment of spin in the Ru atom which increases also linearly with increasing x, while the magnetic moment of Gd decreases slightly. In the orthorhombic phase, its value remains zero regardless of the concentration because we are in an antiferromagnetic (AF) configuration. The collaboration of the 3d-Ru and 2p-O states is suggested to play an important role for the ferromagnetism in the considered alloy. These orbitals were the most regular in the two bands respectively: the conduction band and the valence band in the two phases given here (cubic and orthorhombic). We also note the mixed collaboration of the states 3d-Ba. On the other hand, the contribution of 3d-Gd states was only effective in the band of conduction, at the time when that of the 4f-Gd states was noticed especially in the orthorhombic phase.

Transform faults are widespread within the Atlantic Ocean. Their relief is determined by a variety of factors related mainly to the peculiarities of the deep structure of the lithosphere and regional geodynamics. The degree of their influence changes when passing from one morphotectonic province of the Atlantic Ocean to another. The differences are manifested in the morphology of the main elements of the transform fault and the correlation of their morphometric parameters with the length of the active part, which was shown earlier by analogue modeling. The dependence between the depth of the transform valley and the axis offset of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge along the transform fault has been revealed. Variations in the values of morphometric parameters are interpreted as a consequence of different duration of fault development, as well as different degrees of influence of secondary factors within each of the provinces. Based on the analysis of the bathymetric data on the Atlantic transform faults, five main groups of relief-forming factors are identified, and the relative degree of importance of the factors is determined for each of them. It is assumed that the identified dependences are preserved for the transform faults in other oceans.

Published: October 2021

The basic questions of the methodology of geological and geomorphological study (ore geomorphology, morphostructural analysis, morphotectonics, neotectonics) of ore-bearing territories are considered. The concepts of "geomorphologic systems organization element" as the smallest particle of matter preserving the structure and properties of a mineral, as well as "objectives", "objects" and "subjects" of morphostructural and morphotectonic studies for solving problems of metallogeny have been formulated. In areas with complex geological structure, it is recommended to carry out complex of morphostructural and morphotectonic works with repeated solution of direct and inverse problems: relief and geological environment, geological environment relief. This will make it possible to establish the totality of available deterministic and chronological relations between landforms and structural elements of the lithosphere. Along with the solution of traditional problems of ore geomorphology, it is proposed to use the developed original complex of morphostructural and morphotectonic studies.

Authors: Cubillo Espinoza Andrea
Published: October 2021

La diabetes gestacional es una enfermedad crónica, no transmisible, que se presenta por primera vez durante el embarazo. Es una afectación que, de no captarla tempranamente, puede tener graves efectos tanto en el feto como en la madre. Existen múltiples factores predisponentes a esta enfermedad, sobresaliendo la obesidad y la resistencia a la insulina, entre otros.  Sin embargo, a lo largo de los años, se han debatido distintos métodos de detección temprana sobre la diabetes gestacional, todos con el fin de evitar complicaciones materno-fetales, las cuales han tenido y continúan teniendo un gran impacto en la salud mundial. Un alto porcentaje de mujeres con diabetes gestacional puede ser detectado tempranamente dependiendo de los criterios utilizados y su estrategia. No obstante, no existe suficiente evidencia que proporcione criterios diagnósticos tempranos de la diabetes gestacional. En este artículo se procederá a realizar una revisión bibliográfica, sobre los métodos de uno o dos pasos como tamizaje de la diabetes gestacional.

Published: October 2021

La candidiasis vulvovaginal se presenta de manera frecuente en la vida de las mujeres, incluso se ha llegado a estimar que un 75% presentaran al menos un episodio en su vida. Se presenta sobre todo en mujeres en edad reproductiva, sin ser esta una infección de transmisión sexual, sin embargo, siempre debe realizarse un diagnóstico diferencial con otras patologías que sí son transmisibles por la vía sexual.
Para realizar un correcto diagnóstico es importante apoyarse tanto en la clínica como en otras herramientas como lo son: los hallazgos clínicos, el examen directo en fresco, tinción de gram o cultivo del flujo vaginal. Existen hallazgos clínicos específicos, dentro de estos destaca el prurito vulgar, también se puede presentar eritema e irritación vaginal, secreción vaginal característica la cual generalmente es descrita como un flujo grumoso blanquecino sin olor, disuria e incluso dispareunia. Sin embargo, es importante confirmar con análisis microbiológico, lo cual permite un diagnóstico más certero, en algunos casos se logra identificar el microorganismo causal específico y la respectiva sensibilidad del mismo hacia los antifúngicos, lo cual permite disminuir las resistencias que son causadas por el uso inadecuado de estos medicamentos.
La infección recurrente es definida como la presentación de al menos cuatro episodios en un año, lamentablemente hasta el momento no se cuenta con tratamientos efectivos para erradicar por completo las recurrencias. Si bien es cierto existen terapias supresoras permiten evitar infecciones durante el periodo de uso, sin embargo, no es curativo y posterior a finalizar el mismo, se pueden presentar nuevamente los episodios recurrentes, lo cual llega a repercutir directamente en la calidad de vida de las mujeres, ya que afecta la salud en todas sus esferas: física, mental, social y de ahí la importancia de un diagnóstico y abordaje correcto.

Published: October 2021

The global upheavals of recent years have had a serious impact on the personal well-being of citizens. It becomes important for a person to effectively manage the family budget, which requires increasing the level of knowledge about finance, economics, investments, etc. The purpose of the report is to study foreign experience and Kazakhstan's experience in improving financial literacy. Practice shows that the formation of financial literacy, instilling culture and reasonable, rational behavior is necessary for society and the economy as a whole. It is possible to achieve such results by changing a person's consciousness. The younger generation has a huge potential in this regard. Currently, only some aspects of economic thinking are addressed in the works of teachers. The methodology of the article is based on the study of the works of foreign authors on the problems of the impact of crises of various etymologies and origins on the change in financial literacy, including certain elements: levels, factors, policy, structure. The result of the study was to identify the features of financial literacy systems in different countries. The analysis showed that financial literacy is considered a well-developed element in the general model of economic consciousness formation. However, at the present stage, the problem of financial literacy and economic awareness is not given due attention in countries, including developed ones. The article was prepared within the framework of the project of grant financing of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan "transformation of the economic consciousness of society in the conditions of the pathology of the economy (on the example of the Republic of Kazakhstan)" (IRN AR09259332).

A INDISCIPLINA DO CINEMA NO CURRÍCULO ESCOLAR NA VISÃO DE PROFESSORES DA EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL
Authors: Rosa Ludmila Rodrigues , Ustra Sandro Rogério Vargas
Published: October 2021

O presente artigo contempla uma reflexão sobre o cinema como indisciplina no currículo escolar, independentemente do nível de ensino em que se faz presente, na perspectiva de superar a fragmentação dos conteúdos. Trata-se de um recorte de resultados de uma tese de doutoramento que abordou o cinema na transformação docente. Buscando subsídios para o diálogo e a reflexão sobre as práticas escolares, tomou-se como inspiração metodológica a abordagem qualitativa, a qual possibilitou encontrar formas de representar a realidade, as técnicas da observação e entrevistas, para conhecer como o cinema é utilizado nas salas de aula. As observações foram realizadas em onze salas de aula (turmas) e as entrevistas com doze docentes, três supervisores escolares, um educador infantil e um diretor, que atuavam em duas escolas municipais de Educação Infantil de Uberlândia/MG. Também houve apoio na pesquisa bibliográfica, que permitiu ampliar os saberes a partir de conhecimentos produzidos e sistematizados. Para tanto, foi necessário compreender as potencialidades do cinema na constituição humana, não se restringindo às instituições escolares. Compreendeu-se uma ênfase na utilização como recurso nas práticas pedagógicas, porém sua contribuição vai muito além, enquanto arte, cultura, magia, prazer, encanto, uma linguagem riquíssima de criatividade e expressão, permitindo um acesso mais consciente à interioridade e à própria aprendizagem, provocando, inquietando e movimentando seu espectador/apreciador. Nesse sentido, a relevância desta reflexão centra-se no (re)pensar sobre as possibilidades do cinema na escola como indisciplina, na construção de saberes e na formação humana.

Authors: Nikolaenko M. S.
Published: October 2021

In modern conditions of increasing globalization and intensifying competition in the food industry in general and in the meat processing industry in particular, there is a need to find new ways to increase the competitiveness of enterprises, guarantee the quality and safety of products, ensure proper working conditions for personnel, and reduce the negative impact on the environment. The research aims to improve the technology of pre-made products in dough shell production and to determine the rational parameters of the production process by introducing new ingredients into the recipe. The content of toxic elements was determined based on the Ukrainian Laboratory of Quality and Safety of Agricultural Products of the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine. The main stages of production of pre-made products in dough shells were analyzed, the technology was improved considering a set of safety and quality studies, risks and critical control points, sources of their occurrence were identified, and preventive actions were developed. The amino acid composition of the protein component and functional and technological quality indicators of the minced meat samples (moisture retention capacity, emulsifying capacity, and stability of meat emulsions) were evaluated. To determine the changes that occurred in the experimental prepared products enriched with vegetable components, a study of changes in their physicochemical properties after freezing and thawing was conducted. The research results showed that in the experimental sample containing the food additive Elamin, the amount of bound moisture in meat systems gradually decreases during storage, but the mass fraction of the concentrate in the amount of 0.3 kg per 100 kg of raw material allows for retaining free moisture.

FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION AS A CONDITION FOR THE LEGAL ESTABLISHMENT OF LOCAL DEMOCRACY IN UKRAINE
Authors: Shaulskyi M.
Published: October 2021

In the article, the author explores the problem of combating corruption in Ukraine, which affects the legal formation of local democracy, drawing attention to the direct relationship between these processes. A vicious circle has been created in Ukrainian society where corruption undermines democratic institutions, in turn, weak democratic institutions are unable to control corruption. It is obvious that an important factor in the unresolved nature of this problem is the anti-corruption strategies of recent years, which have not been able to significantly affect the current state of affairs. This article offers an analysis of anti-corruption strategies of previous years and the draft law on anti-corruption strategy for 2021-2025, which aims to prevent and eliminate corruption in Ukraine.

In turn, an effective anti-corruption fight would promote the development of the institution of local democracy, its forms such as elections, advisory bodies to the authorities, public hearings, conferences, public discussions, cooperation of public institutions and authorities at the regional and interregional level, financial participation in projects, programs and activities of the state and citizens, joint monitoring of public opinion and conducting polls, sociological research, the institute of formation of civic competencies, feedback of information exchange, etc.

Despite the long history of the development of legal mechanisms of the state aimed at overcoming corruption, there is no deep understanding in the domestic political science of the relationship between the concept of local democracy and the level of corruption. There is a noticeable lack of work that examines the relationship between corruption and the development of the institution of local democracy, which would contain an analysis of the problems of local democracy through the prism of the level of corruption and the activities of anti-corruption bodies in Ukraine. Considering the problem from this angle, we can better understand the essence of the changes that the European Ukrainian state needs.

OSCILLATION OF PULSE-LOADED OSCILLATOR WITH DEGREE POSITIONAL FRICTION
Authors:   Kharkiv Petro Vasylenko National Technical University of Agriculture, Olshanskiy V. , Slipchenko M. ,   Kharkiv Petro Vasylenko National Technical University of Agriculture
Published: October 2021

Nonstationary oscillations of the oscillator with nonlinear positional friction caused by an instantaneous force pulse are described. The power dependence of the positional friction force on the displacement of the system, which generalizes the known models, is accepted. The corresponding dynamics problems were solved precisely by the method of adding and approximated by the method of energy balance. In the study, using periodic Ateb-functions, an exact analytical solution of the nonlinear differential equation of motion was constructed. Compact formulas for calculating oscillation ranges and half-cycle durations are derived. It is shown that the decrease in the amplitude of oscillations, as well as under the action of the force of linear viscous resistance, follows the law of geometric progression. The denominator of the progression is less than one and depends on the positional friction constants, in particular on the nonlinearity index. Thus, we have not only a decrease in the amplitude of oscillations, but also an increase in the durations of half-cycles, which is characteristic of nonlinear systems with a rigid force characteristic. Approximate displacement calculations use Pade-type approximations for periodic Ateb-functions. The error of these approximations is less than one percent. From the obtained analytical relations, as separate cases, the known dependences covered in the theory of oscillations for linear positional friction follow. It is shown that even in the case of nonlinear positional friction the process of oscillations caused by an instantaneous momentum has many oscillations and is not limited in time. In the case of power positional friction, the oscillation ranges of the pulse-loaded oscillator can be calculated by elementary formulas. The calculation of displacements in time is associated with the use of periodic Ateb-functions, the values of which are not difficult to determine by known asymptotic formulas. Calculations confirm that the obtained approximate formula does not give large errors. In order to verify the adequacy of the obtained analytical solutions, numerical computer integration of the original nonlinear differential equation of motion was performed. The results of the calculation, which lead to analytical and numerical solutions of the Cauchy problem, are well matched.
NONLINEAR DEFORMATION-FORCE MODEL OF A CONCRETE BAR WITH NON-METALLIC COMPOSITE REINFORCEMENT IN THE GENERAL CASE OF A STRESSED STATE

The article discusses a nonlinear deformation-force model of a concrete bar structure with a non-metallic composite reinforcement (NKA-FRP) in the general case of a stressed state, when all four internal force factors from an external load (namely, bending and twisting moments, transverse and longitudinal forces). A sufficiently deep and meaningful analysis of well-known studies on the selected topic is given. It has been established that the proposed nonlinear deformation-force model of a bar structure with FRP in the general case of a stressed state can be practically useful due to the possibility of its application in the design or reinforcement of beams, girders, columns and elements of rosette trusses of rectangular cross-section, which are operated under aggressive environmental conditions. This model can also be used to check the bearing capacity of existing FRP concrete bar structures, which operate not only under the influence of an aggressive environment, but also under conditions of a complex stress-strain state. In the course of the research, an algorithm was developed for determining the bearing capacity of the design section of a concrete rod with FRP under its complex stress state. General physical relations for the design section are given in the form of a stiffness matrix. The algorithm for calculating a concrete bar with FRP consists of a block for inputting the initial data, the main part, auxiliary subroutines for checking the conditions for increasing the load vector and depletion of the bearing capacity, as well as a block for printing the calculation results. At each stage of a simple static stepwise increasing load, the calculation is carried out by performing a certain number of iterations until the accuracy of determining all components of the deformation vector satisfies a certain predetermined value. The features and patterns of changes in normal and tangential stresses, generalized linear and angular deformations, as well as the equations of equilibrium of a concrete bar with FRP, which operates under the influence of an aggressive environment under conditions of a complex stress state, are also considered.
STRESS STATE OF COMPRESSED REINFORCED CONCRETE ELEMENTS CONSIDERING CREEP AND INFLUENCE OF AN AGGRESSIVE ENVIRONMENT
Authors:   Odessa State Academy of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Bekirova M.
Published: October 2021

Problems associated with the joint long-term action of load and aggressive environment, both in limiting and over-limiting states, are studied bad. Such a combination leads to degradation of materials and changes in the stress-strain state of reinforced concrete structures over time. In case of joint action, they can have mutually increasing damaging effect. Among the many environmental influences encountered, the most aggressive in relation to concrete on cement binder is the impact of sulfates, and in relation to steel reinforcement – the impact of chlorides. It is shown that the stress-strain state of reinforced concrete compressed elements with regard to creep and influence of aggressive environment is formed in time. The deformation in concrete and reinforced concrete compressed elements depends on the stress level. If the stresses are less than the long-term strength, the deformations in time are attenuated, when the stresses in concrete are greater than the long-term strength, the deformations increase. Reinforcement restrains deformations in concrete, while corrosive medium increases creep deformations. When solving these problems we encounter internally statically indeterminate systems. The degree of static indeterminacy is greater than in the case of calculation of reinforced concrete structures without taking into account the influence of the external environment. When the process of soaking is considered, it is possible to consider the influence of the external environment as not aggressive. A solution to the problem using the theory of elastic heredity has been obtained, but it can be shown that a solution using other theories - the theory of aging or the hereditary theory of aging - is also possible. The above solution is true for reinforced concrete elements exposed to external influences at a sufficiently mature age, which can be considered one year or more from the date of manufacture of the structure.

Background and aim: Capsule endoscopy is the most sensitive method for evaluating mucosal lesions in Crohn’s Disease and recent studies show that capsule endoscopy could be used for disease staging and for careful monitoring to evaluate endoscopic activity on a regular basis. Over time, many platelet changes have been described in IBD, including morphological and functional alteration and increased number. We determined whether platelets count correlates with the endoscopic activity measured using capsule endoscopy in Crohn’s disease patients from a single center. Methods: This is a retrospective observational study. There were enrolled patients with suspected or known Crohn’s disease that underwent evaluation with capsule endoscopy in our department, between 2011 and 2021. For the evaluation with capsule endoscopy, Pillcam SB3 or Pillcam Colon2 were used. For the evaluation of endoscopic activity, we used Lewis score calculated using RAPID 8 capsule reading software. Platelets level was measured and correlated with the Lewis score, inflammatory biomarkers (C-reactive protein and fecal calprotectin) and anemic syndrome. Results: A total of 62 patients were included in the study, of whom 37 (59.67%) were with suspected Crohn’s disease and 25 (40.32%) were with known Crohn’s disease. Thrombocytosis was present in the majority of patients with severe endoscopic activity (Lewis score more than 790), elevated CRP, fecal calprotectin more than 250microg/g and anemic syndrome. Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first study that assess the correlation between thrombocytosis and severity of Crohn’s disease, evaluated with capsule endoscopy. Our data suggests that platelet count is a valuable, non-invasive, easy to use biomarker that is a good predictor of severity of Crohn’s disease and could have a prognostic value. It correlates well with Lewis score, CRP, fecal calprotectin and anemia.

BACKGROUND: The ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine against COVID-19 is a two-dose vaccine spread 3 to 4 weeks apart. This study aims to ascertain the antibody response to each dose with respect to age, previous infection status etc. METHODS: Baseline total COVID-19 antibody level was ascertained using Siemens SARS‑CoV‑2 Total Antibody assay in consenting health care workers before the first dose of vaccination. Adverse effects were noted in each individual and were monitored weekly for the total antibody titre following both doses. Descriptive statistical tests were used to analyse the changes in antibodies levels weekly after both doses. Association of previous COVID infection and age with antibody levels was assessed. RESULTS: Median (range) of age of the 30 study participants was 31.5 years.23% of the participants had a history of previous COVID-19 infection. Mild adverse events following immunisation were reported by 87% participants after first dose whereas only in 7% after second dose. Median baseline antibody titres were significantly higher among those with previous COVID infection as compared to previously uninfected individuals. Antibody titres increased consistently after first dose and showed a declining trend following the second dose in all participants and showed no significant association with previous COVID-19 infection or age. CONCLUSIONS: Antibody titre response was similar amongst the various age groups. Higher response in the previously infected individuals following first dose may make them ideal candidates for a single dose vaccine regimen. Individuals showing lower levels of neutralising antibodies can be ideal candidates for a booster dose.
The Genealogical Introduction to Chronicles (1 Chronicles 1-9): The Chronicler’s Purpose
Authors: Выдрин Андрей
Published: October 2021

В статье исследуется достаточно сложный вопрос об аутентичности, предназначении и богословии обширного генеалогического введения Книг Паралипоменон (Хроник). Обсуждается социально-историческое значение генеалогий израильских колен, а также рассматриваются сходства и различия между ними и другими библейскими генеалогиями, с одной стороны, и ближневосточными и древнегреческими - с другой. Кроме того, в статье выявляется композиция генеалогического раздела Хроник, построенная по принципу хиазма, посредством которого священный автор стремился донести ключевую богословскую идею как введения, так и произведения в целом: Божественный Замысел о человечестве и творении должен осуществиться через святость народа Божия. В итоге делается вывод о том, что Летописец стремился донести до своей аудитории (иудеев позднего персидского [Ахеменидского] периода) важное сообщение: несмотря на катастрофу разрушения и Вавилонский плен, взаимоотношения Яхве со Своим народом продолжаются, и Израиль по-прежнему призван реализовать в своей жизни некогда задуманный Богом в отношении всего человечества идеал святости.

The article examines a rather complex issue of the authenticity, purpose and theology of the extensive genealogical introduction of the Chronicles. The socio-historical significance of the genealogies of the Israelite tribes is discussed, as well as the similarities and differences between them and other biblical genealogies, on the one hand, and the Middle Eastern and Ancient Greek ones, on the other. In addition, the article reveals the composition of the genealogical section of the Chronicles, built on the principle of chiasm, through which the sacred author sought to convey the key theological idea of both the introduction and the work as a whole: The Divine Plan for humanity and creation must be realized through the holiness of the people of God. As a result, it is concluded that the Chronicler sought to convey to his audience (the Jews of the late Persian [Achaemenid] period) an important message: despite the catastrophe of destruction and the Babylonian captivity, the relationship of Yahweh with His people continues, and Israel is still called to realize in its life, once conceived by God for all mankind, the ideal of holiness.
Relations Between the Russian Orthodox and Anglican Churches in the First Decade of the XX Century
Authors: Очканов Ярослав
Published: October 2021

Статья посвящена наиболее продуктивному периоду в истории взаимосвязей между Англиканской и Русской Православной Церквами. С начала ХХ в. к межконфессиональному диалогу подключились высшие иерархи обеих Церквей, отношениями с англиканами занялась специальная Комиссия при Священном Синоде, а в Великобритании был основан Англикано-Восточно-Православный Союз. Участились взаимные визиты богословов, высших церковных и общественных деятелей обеих стран, активизировалось обсуждение вопросов возможного сближения двух Церквей на всех уровнях. Все эти действия привели к более глубокому осмыслению проблемы христианского единения, в частности, к более детальному анализу возможности воссоединения Англиканской Церкви с Православной. Были созданы условия для широкого обсуждения всего комплекса вопросов, связанных с данной проблематикой. В данной статье анализируются результаты усилий обеих Церквей по разрешению имеющихся противоречий в ходе первого десятилетия ХХ в. В дальнейшем дискуссии по поискам путей сближения были продолжены вплоть до революционных событий в России в 1917 г.

The article is devoted to the most productive period in the history of relations between the Anglican and Russian Orthodox Churches. Since the beginning of the twentieth century, when the highest hierarchs of both Churches have joined the inter-confessional dialogue, a special Commission of the Holy Synod has been engaged in relations with Anglicans, and the AnglicanEastern Orthodox Union was founded in Great Britain. Mutual visits of theologians, senior Church and public figures from both countries have become more frequent, and discussions on possible rapprochement between the two Churches at all levels have intensified. All these actions led to a deeper understanding of the problem of Christian unity, in particular to a more detailed analysis of the possibility of the reunification of the Anglican Church with the Orthodox Church. There were created conditions for a broad discussion of the entire range of questions related to this issue. This article analyzes the results of the efforts of both Churches to resolve the existing contradictions during the first decade of the twentieth century. Further discussions on the search of ways of rapprochement were continued until the revolutionary events in Russia in 1917.
