The Kurai Fault Zone have generated paleoearthquakes with Mw = 6.6–7.6 and ESI 2007 shaking intensities of VIII to XI. The paleoearthquakes occurred ca. 6.3, 5.8, 3.2, and 1.3 ka BP, in the second half of the 18th centuries AD. ERT and GPR data reveals the resistivity structure of the area with seismogenic faults traceable to depths of 40–50 m. The conclusions above must be taken into account when design and constructing the gas pipeline from Russia to the People’s Republic of China.

MET is one of the most important taxes for companies, extracting oil in Russia. Tax relief in MET formula is a possibility to control oil extraction by reducing the MET rate. There is light oil of high quality in the deposits of Eastern Siberia, that’s why its development is crucial for the industry. To analyze the influence of the tax relief in Eastern Siberia, Russian regional and federal methods were used. Significant factors were determined and used in the calculation (e.g. production increase, ratio of incomes and etc).

Published: November 2020

Haemophagocytic Lympho-Histiocytosis (HLH) includes variety of life-endangering conditions caused due to defective immunity and represented as uncontrolled hyperinflammatory response. HLH is mostly instigated by infection. Familial form is due to genetic defects in cytotoxic T cells & natural killer cells. HLH mostly goes unrecognized, and hence has high morbidity and mortality. Prompt diagnosis is critical to ensue curative treatment. Diagnosis of familial Haemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis is ellusive due to variable presentation, coexistence with other diseases, & select availability of confirmatory tests. We present a case of a 3-yearold girl child, with organomegaly, fever and pancytopenia diagnosis could not be reached for a long period.

Published: November 2020

The raised seedbed implantation system and the use of surfaceirrigation can be important practices to enable rotation with rice and ensure the expression of the productive potential of maize in lowland areas. The purpose of this work was to evaluate the use of implantation systems and surface irrigation on agronomic characteristics and grain yield of maize crop in lowland areas. Two experiments were conducted in the experimental lowland area of the Federal University of Santa Maria – UFSM, during the 2014/15 crop season. The experiments consisted in the use of implantation systems with and without raised seedbeds and surface irrigation. The evaluated characteristics were plant height, shoot dry mass, leaf area index, yield components and grain yield. Plant height, leaf area index and shoot dry mass are higher when maize is grown in raised seedbeds in lowland areas. The raised seedbed system can be considered an efficient way to improve drainage in the cultivation area, resulting in a higher grain yield. The use of irrigation during periods of water deficit, in the critical period of crop growth, increases the grain yield of maize grown in lowland areas.
Krepitev lokalnih prehranskih verig - potenciali zaupanja, izkušenj in doživetij
Authors: Colarič Jakše Lea-Marija , Kavšček Manca , Obolnar Sašo
Published: November 2020

Slovenija se na agroživilskem področju sooča z izrazito negativno bilanco lastno pridelane hrane, povečuje se zunanje trgovinska izmenjava, lokalno proizvedenih živil na slovenskem trgu pa je še bistveno manj. Dodaten izziv predstavljajo podnebne in okoljske razmere na svetovni ravni, kako v najkrajšem času povečati lokalno pridelavo/uporabo hrane, zmanjšati zavržke in negativne vplive na okolje. Ob strukturnih spremembah, sektorskih vlaganjih, izboljšanju proizvodnih procesov, povezovanju in vzpostavljanju lokalnih prehranskih verig brez konkretnih naporov v smeri ozaveščanja domačih kupcev teh ciljev ne bo mogoče doseči. Zagotavljanje kakovosti lokalnih pridelkov, večje vključevanje lokalnih živil v gostinstvo, ponudba tradicionalnih jedi in osebna izkušnja pridelave hrane lahko dodatno vzpodbudijo povečanje pridelave in povpraševanje ter prispevajo k zmanjševanju zavržkov hrane v prehrambni verigi. Kupci v okviru raziskave izkazujejo interes po kakovostnih živilih s slovenskim poreklom, žal pa lahko obstoječe stanje prinaša tveganje za upad zaupanja, kar se odraža v razkoraku med pričakovanim in dejanskim stanjem. Okrepitev gostinske ponudbe s tradicionalnimi jedmi lahko pripomore k povečanemu povpraševanju lokalno pridelane hrane s potrebo po večji izbiri raznolikih in ustrezno prezentiranih sezonskih tradicionalnih jedi. Osebna izkušnja lastne pridelave prispeva k boljši ozaveščenosti. Izboljšanje ukrepov na teh področjih pozitivno vpliva tudi na odnos do lokalne hrane oziroma na zmanjšanje njenih zavržkov.
ON THE MIRROR OF TYRANTS: XENOPHON’S HIERO AND ITS CONTEXT(S)
Authors: JORDOVIĆ IVAN
Published: November 2020

This article argues that in the Hiero, Xenophon skilfully combines elements of wisdom literature, epinician poetry, the Mirror of Tyrants and logoi Sōkratikoi. In doing so, he pursues two objectives. One is to link his reflections on leadership to respected and influential traditions in order to give his views additional weight and render them interesting for a wider audience. The second objective is to respond to Plato’s challenge to the traditional way of doing politics and, more specifically, the view that it is irremediable. For these reasons, this paper attempts to reconstruct the influence of wisdom literature (hypothēkai, Seven Sages), the Mirror of Tyrants (Isocrates), epinician poetry (Simonides, Pindar) and Plato’s dialogues on the Hiero.
Linguocultural transfer of metaphors in a literary text
Authors:   Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia, Denisenko Vladimir N. , Vered Valeriya T.
Published: November 2020

This article aims to assess the degree of transfer of the original metaphorical image into a foreign language linguistic and cultural space and to identify the general patterns of translation of the author’s metaphor in a literary text. An attempt is made to determine the nature of the correlation between the transfer and the communicative-pragmatic effect of the conversion unit. The study uses a three-dimensional model of metaphor, which is a synthesis of the proper linguistic (language), mental (thought) and communicative aspects. The actual linguistic aspect means the logical and semantic structure of the metaphor. Understood as the general properties of an object and its reflection arising from the principle of similarity, the tenor, the vehicle and the ground are revealed. From the point of view of the mental aspect, the metaphor is considered as a universal cognitive mechanism for the nomination of the surrounding reality and the creation of artistic images. The communicative aspect includes the study of metaphor from the perspective of its functioning in speech — the pragmatic attitude of the speaker determined by the content and form of his statement is pointed out. The semantic equivalence of metaphors in the original text and in the translation text is established on the basis of the componential analysis. The results are classified according to two criteria: 1) the preservation of the principle of implicit metaphorical rethinking and 2) the identity of the meanings actualized during the renaming process, which allows to identify cases of the complete and the partial transfer of the metaphor and to describe the concomitant lexical and grammatical interlanguage transformations. The partial transfer is to be recognized as the most common phenomenon that takes place during the translation of the metaphorical expression. The impossibility of the complete transfer of the source metaphor is explained by both the features of the internal development of languages and the nature of the linguistic thinking of the two peoples. The absence of the metaphor in translation is considered as a factor that reduces the pragmatic equivalence of texts.
M.M. Prishvin and B.A. Pilnyak: To the history of creative relations
Authors:   Moscow Pedagogical State University, Svyatoslavsky Alexey V.
Published: November 2020

The article considers the history of creative and personal relationships of M. Prishvin and B. Pilnyak from 1922 to the beginning of the 1930s, basing on epistolary and diary entries. In the presence of stable, largely friendly relations between the two writers, their character was complicated by Prishvin’s very critical attitude towards his fellow writer, expressed in a number of sharp assessments of some of Pilnyak’s works. On the other hand, it is noted that Prishvin appreciates the artistic talent of Pilnyak as a master of vivid sketchy images. The discussion on the comparative analysis of Pilnyak’s novel “The Naked Year” written on fresh traces of the revolution and Prishvin’s novel “The World Cup” with the involvement of A.K. Voronsky and L.D. Trotsky was separately considered. The author of the article sees some sort of paradox in the Prishvins’ negative position regarding Pilniak’s novel in the obvious genre-stylistic commonality of both works, marked by traits of expressionism and “ornamental prose”. The article also attempts to explain the reasons for the stability of relations between the two writers over the years through a certain commonality of their views in terms of the historical fate of Russia, which made them, by and large, allies in the difficult ideological struggle of the 1920s and 30s.

Published: November 2020

The collective work of the Petrozavodsk linguistic school of artistic text is reviewed. The syntax dictionary of Russian poetry of the 18th century is unparalleled in lexicographical practice. The originality of solving problems that are relevant for historical stylistics and “non-lexical” lexicography of problems is noted, the methodology for analyzing the evolution of poetic language is considered. The necessity of going beyond the lexical and morphological levels to the syntactic one in the creation of consolidated and separate author dictionaries is substantiated.
Understanding Depression

Published: November 2020

Background: Depression is the “common cold” of psychiatry. Purpose: The purpose of this review was to discuss a variety of topics involved with this disease process, including pathophysiology, the standard of practice, pharmacological treatments, clinical guidelines, and costs of the disease. Method: A thorough survey of the literature on “understanding depression” was implemented for this study. Findings: Best practices, including plan implementation and evaluation, are discussed. The cost of depression is more extensive than financial costs, though research concludes that the more severe depressive symptoms present, the cost of care is reflected as higher. Through the hypothetical plan suggested, there would be an increased adherence to the Standard of Practice Guidelines to increase screening for depression at the outpatient mental health clinic at the author’s healthcare facility.
PRESSUPOSTOS TEÓRICOS PARA SE ANALISAR GOVERNANÇA PÚBLICA EM INSTITUIÇÕES DE ENSINO SUPERIOR
Authors:   Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Rufino dos Santos Nicolas , Pereira Ocampo Moré Rafael ,   Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina
Published: November 2020

Este ensaio teórico objetiva sumarizar pressupostos teóricos norteadores para se analisar a governança pública em instituições de ensino superior. Para isso foi necessário referenciar as principais publicações nacionais e internacionais sobre governança universitária e estruturar três dimensões de análise: accountability; gestão do conhecimento e desenvolvimento local e regional. Foi delimitado um conceito de governança universitária e sistematizados três pressupostos teóricos para observar a governança em instituições de ensino superior. Como resultado conclui-se que as instituições de ensino superior se encontram mais envolvidas sob os ditames econômicos do New Public Management e do Neoliberalismo; que as crescentes tecnologias de gestão pública impactaram de maneira profunda a percepção e estruturação da governança nas IES; que, se por um lado as universidades gozam de uma maior autonomia financeira, gerencial e administrativa, por outro, ficam expostas a sistemas de controle mais rigorosos, implicando também num maior arcabouço de responsabilidades; e finalmente, que há uma maior complexidade das atividades da universidade mas, por outro lado, uma estrutura de governança sustentável e eficiente que pode contribuir com a heterogeneidade das atividades institucionais da universidade. A contribuição teórica deste estudo está no avanço na discussão sobre governança universitária no âmbito das instituições de ensino superior, aspecto que contribui para uma gestão universitária transparente, democrática e inovadora, e que enxergue o cidadão enquanto agente protagonista dos processos políticos.

Why reducing the cosmic sound horizon can not fully resolve the Hubble tension
Authors: Jedamzik Karsten , Pogosian Levon , Zhao Gong-Bo
Published: November 2020

The mismatch between the locally measured expansion rate of the universe and the one inferred from the cosmic microwave background measurements by Planck in the context of the standard ΛCDM, known as the Hubble tension, has become one of the most pressing problems in cosmology. A large number of amendments to the ΛCDM model have been proposed in order to solve this tension. Many of them introduce new physics, such as early dark energy, modifications of the standard model neutrino sector, extra radiation, primordial magnetic fields or varying fundamental constants, with the aim of reducing the sound horizon at recombination r*. We demonstrate here that any model which only reduces r* can never fully resolve the Hubble tension while remaining consistent with other cosmological datasets. We show explicitly that models which operate at lower matter density Ωmh2 run into tension with the observations of baryon acoustic oscillations, while models operating at higher Ωmh2 develop tension with galaxy weak lensing data.

Published: November 2020

BackgroundGene transcripts or mRNAs and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are differentially expressed during porcine skeletal muscle development. However, only a few studies have been conducted on skeletal muscle transcriptome in pigs based on timepoints according to the growth curve for porcine. Here, we investigated gene expression in Qingyu pigs at three different growth stages: of the inflection point with the maximum growth rate (MGI), inflection point of gradual increase stage to rapid increasing stage (GRI) and inflection point of rapid increasing stage to slowly increasing stage (RSI). Subsequently, we explored gene expression profiles during muscle development at the MGI, GRI and RSI stages by Ribo-Zero RNA sequencing. ResultsQingyu pigs reached the MGI, GRI and RSI stages at 156.40, 23.82 and 288.97 days of age with 51.73, 3.14 and 107.03 kg body weight, respectively. A total of 14,530 mRNAs and 11,970 lncRNAs were identified at the three stages, and 645, 323 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 696, 760 differentially expressed lncRNAs (DELs) were identified in the GRI vs. MGI, RSI vs. MGI comparisons. Functional enrichment analysis revealed that genes involved in immune system development and energy metabolism (mainly relate to amino acid, carbohydrate and lipid) were enriched at the GRI and MGI stages, respectively, whereas genes involved in energy and lipid metabolism were enriched at the RSI stage. We further characterized G1430, an abundant lncRNA. The full-length sequence (316 nt) of lncRNA G1430 was determined by rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE). Subcellular distribution analysis by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) revealed that G1430 is a cytoplasmic lncRNA. Binding site prediction and dual luciferase assay showed that lncRNA G1430 directly binds to microRNA 133a (miR-133a). Conclusion﻿These findings indicate lncRNAs and a certain lncRNA G1430 involved in the regulatory mechanism during pig muscle development. Our findings provide the basis for further investigation of the regulatory mechanisms and molecular genetics of muscle development in pigs.

Objective: The lack of comfort from physicians is a major reason for sexual health to be poorly addressed in medical consultations. With this study we aimed to explore if medical students, future physicians, already feel uncomfortable to address sexual health when interacting with patients. Design and Method: All students enrolled in Portuguese medical schools were invited to participate in an anonymous online questionnaire between March and June 2015. Students were asked to rate their comfort using a 5-point Likert scale from 1 (“Completely uncomfortable”) to 5 (“Completely comfortable”). Descriptive statistics, factor analysis, Chi-square comparisons and multivariable logistic regression were used to analyze responses. Results: 1872 responses were analyzed. Medical students are less comfortable to talk with patients about Sexual Practices and Relationships (mean=2,96) than Reproduction and Sexual Infections (mean=4,37). Interestingly, the comfort to address both topics tend to decrease along the medical courses (r=-0,161 and r=- 0,083, respectively, p<0.01), in contrast with the increasing comfort to talk about sex outside the clinical context (r=0,100 p<0.01). Students’ main justifications for not feeling comfortable were the fear of letting the patient uncomfortable (29,7%) or offending them (22,6%). Conclusions: The lack of comfort to talk about sexual health issues is a reality when students start to talk to patients, so early tackling of this discomfort is important to improve medical communication in sexual health. In fact, comfort decrease can reveal the transition from expectations to the reality experienced during clinical rotations over the last years of medical education.

Objective: Sexual problems are common. Asian patients may have more difficulty seeking help due to a conservative culture. Both Obstetricians & Gynaecologists (OBGYN) and Family Medicine (FM) doctors are ideally placed to address sexual problems directly. This survey explored the experience of trainees in OBGYN and FM in managing sexual problems and training in Sexual Medicine (SM). Design and Method: A survey was sent anonymously online to all Singaporean trainees in FM and OBGYN during December 2015. Results: The overall response was 32.2% (69/214)- 41.1% (53/129) of the FM and 21.3% (16/75) of OBGYN trainees. Seventy-two percent were female, with less than 10% senior residents. Two-thirds attended Singaporean medical schools. Twenty-nine percent encountered patients with sexual problems at least once monthly. Most would refer these patients to gynaecologists/urologists, followed by sex therapists. More than three-quarters were not confident in managing either sex. Amongst the recognized categories, only 42% felt confident to manage erectile dysfunction, 17% for vaginismus, while less than 10% felt confident to manage libido, arousal or orgasm disorders. Ninety-four percent agreed that SM should be part of the training curriculum and 65% suggested that this began at junior residency. Eighty-seven percent of them were interested to obtain further knowledge and skills through their training curriculum or psychosexual seminars. Conclusions: This survey reported a significant number of trainees in OBGYN & FM are regularly exposed to sexual problem patients but lack the skills to manage them. The results support the need for SM to be incorporated into both national residency program curricula.

Objective: Health and legal care of transgender people in Croatia is still at its beginnings. Further effort from the professional side is being engaged in order to establish complete health care of transgender people in Croatia. Design and Method: The aim was to examine if there are any differences in the levels of transgender persons quality of life, experienced violence and their present stage of gender transition and perceived level of social support and perceived quality of health care. Transgender clients who are in the process of gender transition within Croatian mental health system were asked to fill in the online questionnaire. Results: 80% of our transgender participants consider psychologists as the most competent and affirmative professionals concerning transgender health care. 15.6% say the same for psychiatrists and 4.4% consider endocrinologists as the most competent professionals to deal with transgender health issues. 28.8% of our participants are mostly or completely satisfied with mental health care, in contrast to only 6.6 % of those who are satisfied with medical health care. Conclusions: According to the facts that we have presented above, the agenda of health, mental health and legal care of transgender people in Croatia must be to build on permanent education, scientific work, ethical principles, standards of care and accessible health care. Minding the human rights of each patient, high quality of practice must be governed by the principles of competence in the work with transgender clients through affirmation of gender as personal construct of each client.

Objective: Working at Sex og samfunn (Medical Center of Adolescent Sexuality), we often meet young people struggling with their gender identity. Most of them tell the same story; they have problems getting acceptance from society, family, friends and health professionals. Their stories made us wanting to learn more, and that was the beginning of our empowerment groups for transgender youth. Design and Method: The goal and purpose of the groups, is to bring transgendered youths together to share experience and to support each other. Our role as group-leaders is to make a safe place where the group-members freely can talk about their experiences on being transgender in the Norwegian society. Results: Unfortunately, many of the youths in our groups tell the same story. They have had bad experiences reaching out for help, especially with health professionals. Many felt rejected and mistrusted when they told their stories. They often got the same response; this phase will soon end and it is normal to be confused when you are a teenager. The knowledge was especially low amongst doctors, psychologists and public health nurses, groups expected to have knowledge about gender and gender issues. Conclusions: All these stories lead us to making a lecture with the heading: “How to meet transgender youths?” The participants of the groups gave us suggestions and valuable insight on how to understand them and how to provide good health services.

Objective: The recent past has seen a sharp increase in our awareness of the pervasiveness and devastating impact of child sexual abuse. In contrast, the topic of sexual abuse within marriage continues to receive relatively little notice, clinically, legislatively or academically. Aim – The aim of this presentation is to review current legal and clinical perceptions of marital sex abuse and to examine this phenomenon and its manifestations in the Orthodox Jewish community, as an example of the impact of social norms and values on this critical area. Design and Method: Method – We will initially summarize and present the current literature on this topic with an emphasis on the role of cultural norms and values in defining marital sex abuse across a tolerable/illegal spectrum. We will then examine 1) one ethnic group, Orthodox Jews, to locate potential points of this abuse and 2) that communities understanding and coping with this phenomenon. Illustrative case material will be presented. Results: Results/Conclusions – This traditional community may be representative of other similar ethnic groups and the challenges presented in dealing with marital sexual abuse where norms and values may not always reflect contemporary standards. We expect this presentation to shed light on this phenomenon, expanding our knowledge and sensitivity to the victims and their social contexts. Conclusions: We will conclude with suggested points and techniques of intervention, which take into consideration the needs of the victims and community acknowledgement of a problem.

Objective: The purpose of this paper is to present a reflection on sex education in schools of different stages and years in Italy, with specific attention to inclusive processes and practices in sexuality. In particular, we want to examine case histories of schoolchildren dealing with the inclusion of any individuals or minority groups (eg. LGBTI people or people with disabilities). Furthermore, we will try to reflect on attitudes and critical issues of the professional community of psychologists on the above matters, taking into account specific training needs and cultural frameworks. Design and Method: Qualitative research through case histories. Results: The analysis of the current state of sex education for younger age groups in Italy identifies how the matter has been at the center of a heated debate between secular assumptions and religious and moral positions for a long time, with strong connotations in terms of political and cultural roles and expectations linked to gender and sexual orientation. Upon request of the EU, Italy as well has committed to implement inclusive education policies, at least formally. However, in recent years government proposals to deconstruct gender stereotypes, to integrate sexual minorities, and to fight homophobic bullying and gender violence were hampered. Conclusions: The Italian case suggests a complex situation, in which the free and fluid self-expression of students in a respectful and non-discriminatory environment as preventive factor of homo/transphobic bullying and gender-based violence is still a goal to be achieved.

Objective: Our body is at the same time a biological and a sexological body. Biological body is innate and based on our genes and their capacity to express and realize their potentials. Our sexual body is acquisite and is related to our education and learning and our capacity to decode and read the external world. Our sexological body is a lot more than our biological body. Our aim is to differentiate the two bodies and the better understand and handle sexual misunderstanding and sexual difficulties. Design and Method: Sexuality as acted and performed is the resulting and final step of a complex interaction of different forces. By means of the observation of the physical and sexual body and its position in the space, its rhythms and its tonicity it is possible to relate to the emotions that live inside and pass through the human being. And, on the contrary, acting on the body, modifying its posture and its movements is possible to influence sexual sensations and feelings. Results: Observing and acting on the physical body is useful in influencing and positively modifying the individual sexual emotional and psychological mind, and to lessen sexual distress or to resolve sexual impairment. Conclusions: Biological and emotional body are tightly related. The observation and the analysis of one body reflect the other as well as the intervention on one of the two bodies can influence and transform the other one. This can lead to important results and clinical applications.

Published: November 2020

Objective: In this workshop we will address common issues in psychotherapy with LGBT patients: how it is to be in the closet, to come out of the closet -coming out, sexual identity and social stigma. Special attention is paid to self-disclosure of the therapist, yes/no or if... and to the subject of transference and countertransference. Colleagues will learn about: –– the difference between sexual orientation and sexual identity –– coping strategies of LGBTs –– dissociation as a psychological mechanism and its function in hiding a homosexual identity –– the perspective of self disclosure of the sexual identity of the therapist Design and Method: After a 15 minute oral presentation about LGBT specific issues in psychotherapy we will, in the next 60 minutes, discuss our clinical practice of working with LGBT patients. For this purpose members of the audience, our colleagues, are invited to present their clinical cases, so called vignettes. Results: Both the oral presentation about gender and sexual diversity as the clinical discussion amongst colleagues attribute to a better understanding of treating our gender- and sexual minority patients Conclusions: Gender and sexual minority patient characteristics and their health issues vary and differ from heterosexual patients. In general, training of health care professionals is not sensitive to the specific health care needs of LGBT patients. This workshop focusses on the clinical management of LGBT patients by discussing our clinical practices.
Transference – Countertransference in (Evidence-Based) Sex Therapy

Sex therapists help patients resolve sexual difficulties and experience healthier, fully-expressed sexuality with themselves and with others. In order to be effective, sex therapy must be evidence-based, aiming to treat the symptoms presented by the client. However, as sexuality is expansive and complicated (both for the clients as well as the sex therapists), this (evidence-based) therapy cannot be done without taking into account the psychodynamic view in general, and the transferencecountertransference processes accompanying each therapeutic dyad (or sometimes, triad) in particular. After an introduction of sex therapy and of the PLISSIT model (Anon, 1976), I use a case study in order to demonstrate how awareness of transference-countertransference processes help overcome therapeutic bypasses in the therapy. I suggest an improved, integrative, PLISSIT conceptualization and possible implication of the use of dynamic understanding as part of evidence-based sex therapy.
