Amerika and Literature: on the History of the Magazine in the Postwar USSR (1944–1952)
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Fisenko Aleksandra S. ,   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: June 2024

A vivid illustration of the successes of U.S.–Soviet diplomacy during the period of allied relations was the magazine Amerika, published in the United States in Russian and distributed in the USSR. The magazine was intended to inform Soviet citizens about real American life, familiarize them with the achievements of the United States in science and culture. It was important to present American literature on the pages of the magazine: authors new to Soviet readers and stories by well-known writers translated into Russian for the first time. The article concludes that, along with the rest of the magazine's content, its literary section sought to demonstrate American prosperity and emphasize the closeness of American and Russian cultures. After the war, however, relations between the two countries went into decline again. The USSR continued to translate, censor, and distribute Amerika, but at the same time launched a campaign against the magazine in the Soviet press. In 1952, the symbol of US — Soviet alliance of 1941–1945 ceased to exist. The canceled project was restarted however four years later. The history of the magazine is reconstructed on the basis of Soviet press and archival materials, including transcripts of conversations, Agitprop reports, correspondence between the U.S. Ambassador to the USSR W.A. Harriman and V.M. Molotov, the First Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the USSR A.A. Gromyko and the U.S. Charge d'Affaires in the USSR W. Barbour.

“A Philistine Writer Whining in a Swamp”: Soviet Readers’ First Acquaintance with Ernest Hemingway
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Panova Olga Yu. ,   Lomonosov Moscow State University
Published: June 2024

The paper examines early Soviet reception of Ernest Hemingway's works. The research is based on the readers’ letters to Goslitizdat (State Publishing House) from the funds of the Russian State Archive of Literature and Arts (RGALI). A small collection of letters (1935–1936) shows readers’ reaction to the first Hemingway’s Soviet book editions: a short story collection Death in the Afternoon (1934) and Fiesta (1935). The readers unanimously condemn Hemingway for his “decadent” prose and Goslitizdat for publishing such “absurd” and “harmful” books. The only exception is a short positive review of the novel A Farewell to Arms (1936) sent to Goslitizdat in 1937. To uncover the reasons for the negative readers’ reception one should turn to the literary criticism of the 1934–1935, especially the essays by Ivan Kashkin who introduced the new author to the Soviet reading audience. A comparative analysis of readers’ feedback and critical discourse shows that the ambivalent and even contradictory image of the writer created by the critics made the readers think of Hemingway’s works as “decadent”, “bourgeois” and alien to Soviet people. Another reason was the innovative nature of Hemingway’s modernist prose which seemed obscure, confusing and unintelligible; the Soviet reader obviously preferred “clarity” and “simplicity” of Erskine Caldwell’s or Theodore Dreiser’s realistic writings. The situation changed by the 1937, when Hemingway was praised by both Soviet critics and readers as an anti-fascist writer, a heroic defender of the Spanish Republic.

SoundCape. Combating Environmental Noise in Urban Areas
Authors: Sophie Luger  , Lenia Mascha
Published: June 2024

Sophie Luger (Institute of Architecture) and Lenia Mascha (Institute of Architecture) address the increasingly important issue of urban noise pollution. "SoundCape. Combating Environmental Noise in Urban Areas" explores how sound and noise prevention can be incorporated into architectural design. To develop building structures for noise control in urban environments, the authors examine contradictory historical approaches from architecture and acoustics to learn about the relation of sound and material. Their approach focuses on geometry; experiments with Chladni patterns show that geometrical and material properties of architectural façades have an impact on spatial acoustics and result in the design of ornamental elements that can reduce unwanted noise in cities.

Axial Torsion and Meckel’s Diverticulitis: A Diagnostic Conundrum
Authors: Baral Suman , Chhetri Raj Kumar , Thapa Neeraj
Published: June 2024

Introduction: Meckel’s diverticulum is one the most common congenital anomalies of gastrointestinal tract that mimics acute appendicitis, gastroenteritis, peptic ulcer disease. Complications related to it can be haemorrhage, intestinal obstruction, perforation while axial torsion is one of the rarest complications. So, this paper objectifies a rare clinical scenario that we encountered in our practice and highlights on the possible management strategies. Case : An 11 year boy presented with a history of pain at peri-umbilical region for four days with 2-3 episodes of vomiting. Abdominal examination revealed tenderness at suprapubic area with a mass around 5x3 cm along hypogastrium. Ultrasonography abdomen revealed an avascular structure in central area with clumping of bowel and omentum over the lesion while computed tomography scan of abdomen revealed blind ended gas filled structure at hypogastrium with thickened enhancing irregular wall associated with adjacent mesenteric fat plane stranding and prominent adjacent axial vessels supplying inflammatory lesion. Exploratory laparotomy showed axial twisting of diverticulum about 10x5 cm arising from anti-mesenteric border around 50 cm proximal to ileo-caecal junction with a fibrous band attached to the fundus and ileum leading to gangrenous diverticulum with clumping of bowel loops along with omental covering. De-twisting and adhesiolysis along with excision of the diverticulum was done with two layered closure of the defect. Conclusion: Axial torsion is the rarest of the complication of MD and should be managed with utmost caution. Excision of the twisted diverticulum with or without wedge resection of the involved ileum is the procedure of choice.

Published: June 2024

Background: Wounds represent a growing global issue demanding
increased attention. To expedite wound healing, technologies are under
development, and Light Emitting Diode (LED) devices of varying
wavelengths are being explored for their stimulating influence on the
healing process. This article presents a systematic literature review
aiming to compile, organize, and analyze the impacts of LED devices on
wound healing. Methods: This review is registered on the PROSPERO
platform [CRD42023403870]. Two blinded authors conducted searches in
the Pubmed, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase, and ScienceDirect databases.
In vitro and in vivo experimental studies assessing LED
utilization in the wound healing process were included. Results:
The search yielded 1010 studies, of which 27 were included in the
review. It was identified that LED stimulates different healing
pathways, promoting enhanced cell proliferation and migration,
angiogenesis stimulation, increased collagen deposition and modulation
of the inflammatory response. Conclusions: Thus, it can be
concluded that the LED stimulates cellular and molecular processes
contingent on the utilized parameters. The effects depend on the
standards used. Cell migration and proliferation were better influenced
by green and red LED. The extracellular matrix components and
angiogenesis were regulated by all wavelength and the modulation of
inflammation was mediated by green, red and infrared LEDs.
The response of European offshore wind power to national greenhouse gas emissions and the resulting environmental benefits
Authors: Sun Jingwen
Published: June 2024

Renewable energy represents a pathway towards sustainable development and
reducing dependence on fossil fuels for the international workforce.
Following the Russo-Ukrainian conflict, the EU has been intensifying its
transition towards clean energy, reaffirming its net-zero emissions goal.
Under this goal, accelerating the development of renewable energy has become
a necessity. Wind power holds a significant position among the EU's RES. Due
to the high population density in the EU, offshore wind power, compared to
onshore wind power, experiences faster wind speeds and more stable wind
sources, making the boost of offshore wind energy a major development trend
for the EU's new energy initiatives. The results indicate a significant
positive correlation between offshore wind power generation and greenhouse
gas emissions. On average, for every 100 million tons of GHG emissions, the
EU should achieve an annual power generation of 3148.11 GWh through offshore
wind power and increase the cumulative installed capacity of national
offshore wind power to 768045 MW. In combination with the EU's carbon
trading system and the carbon price and emission reduction effects of
offshore wind power proposed by some scholars, an installed capacity of
offshore wind power approximately accounts for 2.69% of the EU's emission
reductions, potentially generating an economic benefit of 21825 billion
euros.

Published: June 2024

Analyzing building loads and energy-efficient retrofits is crucial for
effective energy management and sustainable development. Strengthening the
identification and analysis of factors that impact energy consumption is
informative for devising appropriate measures. In order to address the
current limitations in analyzing building energy consumption, the present
study proposes a combination of the arc elasticity analysis method with CO2
storage technology. By introducing sensitivity and arc mean elasticity
indices, the cooling and heating loads of building energy consumption can be
analyzed. Subsequently, a CO2 refrigeration system and compression process
can be designed to optimize the storage of CO2 and facilitate its role in
energy conservation and reduction of energy consumption. Thus, the research
aims to fulfill the potential of CO2 in promoting energy efficiency and
reducing consumption. The study utilized software simulation and
experimental analysis to examine the impact of the proposed method. The
findings revealed a positive correlation between the heat transfer
coefficient and the building's annual heat load. In addition, the maximum
data variation of the building's cold load was a mere 0.05 per cent, and the
relative discrepancy between the software simulation and the actual load
values was less than 10 per cent. The exterior building's total cold load
value showed a difference of more than 25 per cent when cooled with CO2
intervention compared to the non-intervention result. Furthermore, the
building's maximum load reduction reached 3.4 per cent when uniformly
varying the thickness of the insulation layer from 40 mm to 100 mm. The
proposed method demonstrates a positive impact on building energy
sensitivity analysis. Its energy loss design for various parts of the
building could offer useful references for practical engineering designs.

Published: June 2024

Teacher professional development programs extensively focus on enhancing teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge (PCK). Given the ongoing programs targeting the improvement of existing teachers’ PCK, there's an evident need for strategies that prepare future educators more effectively. While soft scaffolding has significantly contributed to fostering 21st-century skills among students, its potential in bolstering the PCK of prospective Physics teachers remains under-explored. This study addresses this gap by formulating a soft scaffolding strategy, tailored for post-pandemic learning scenarios, aimed at enriching the PCK of future physics educators. Employing a research and development approach, the ADDIE development design model was utilized. This strategy, termed EPiSODe, integrates key components: Encouraging students, Picking the learning concept, Simulating the learning process, Offering further consultation, and Demonstrating the learning process. Piloted with 52 prospective teachers in Lampung in their third year of Physics Courses, the strategy showcased effectiveness in augmenting their PCK.The results of the data analysis show that the soft scaffolding strategy was effective in increasing the PCK of prospective Physics teachers. The implications of this research include that soft scaffolding learning strategies can be implemented and adapted to the difficulties of candidates in developing PCK competencies. Therefore, to improve the quality of learning for prospective physics teachers and minimize misconceptions or low PCK, this strategy can continue to be developed in case-based learning activities or team-based projects at the higher education level.

On Some Issues of the Composition of Violations of Fire Safety Requirements
Authors:   Department of Supervision and Preventive Work in Rostov-on-Don, Zabiyaka Louise E. ,   Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia in Rostov region
Published: June 2024

Taking into account the high-profile events in our country related to large fires in shopping and entertainment centers, as well as in connection with fires due to burning vegetation, the composition of Article 219 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation is of increased interest from the point of view of science and practice. Thus, it is proposed in the scientific community to expand its application, indicating in it as consequences the damage caused by fire to natural objects. After analyzing various points of view, the author came to the conclusion that such changes to the article under study cannot be made for a number of objective reasons (fire is not specified in Article 219 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation as a prerequisite; it is illogical to compare the damage caused to human life and health with damage caused to nature), here the question of introducing the corresponding article in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Regarding the subjective side, the composition in question differs in the person’s delusion about his duties, taking them lightly, performing them in bad faith, believing that responsibility can be “shifted” to the head of the organization. At the same time, not any employee can be appointed authorized for compliance with fire safety requirements, but only one who is part of the management staff. In this regard, there is a proposal in scientific circles to expand the scope of Article 219 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, removing the reference to a special subject in it.

Published: June 2024

As in other countries, In Brazil, new genetic materials of Eucalyptus spp. and their hybrids are multiplied through cloning. These materials, currently in experimental trials, must undergo several stages to select the best ones for pulp and paper production. Therefore, new studies on wood quality are essential. Therefore, this study aimed to group 11 clones of Eucalyptus spp. wood, from a clonal plantation in the municipality of Palmital, São Paulo State, for the production of paper and cellulose. For this purpose, four trees of each clone of 4-year-old Eucalyptus spp. were collected. From each tree, a log of 1 m in length was taken from the base of the tree, for the study of the characterization of the basic density and cellular dimensions of the wood. The results showed that there were significant differences between clones for basic density, fiber length, vessel element length and fiber wall thickness. The Runkel ratio, wall fraction and stiffness coefficient did not show significant differences between the different genotypes. From the results obtained, we can conclude that clones can be differentiated only by basic density, fiber length, vessel element length and fiber wall thickness. The Runkel index, flexibility coefficient and wall fraction of Eucalyptus spp. were more efficient to group the clones into two groups.
How does housing affordability affect migration intentions of married migrant workers? Social integration as a mediating variable

Increasing migrant workers’ belongingness to the locality is an important step in accelerating high-quality urbanization. Settlement intention can largely indicate this sense of belongingness, which is crucially affected by housing and social integration. Although the settlement intention of migrant workers has been widely investigated, inadequate attention has been paid to hukou transfer intention, which reflects the unique institutional arrangement in China. As family migration has become a trend, this study aims to investigate the two-dimensional migration intentions of married migrant workers in China, i.e. settlement intention and hukou transfer intention, and the mediating role of social integration between housing affordability and migration intentions. Based on the data from China Migrants Dynamic Survey 2017, the structural equation modelling was employed. Furthermore, four dimensions of social integration were examined (economic, social relation, cultural and psychological). The overall hukou transfer intention of married migrant workers was found to be low, whereas the settlement intention was relatively high. Social integration partially mediated the relationship between housing affordability and migration intentions. The regional characteristics of original and inflow places should be given special attention because they substantially affect married migrant workers’ levels of social integration and migration intentions.
Application of palynomorphs and palynofacies in Early Cretaceous paleoenvironmental reconstruction; Shushan Basin, Egypt
Authors: Mahmoud Magdy , Temraz Amal , Moawad Abdel-Rahim , Khalaf Miran
Published: June 2024

An integration of palynomorph and palynofacies data from the Shushan-1X well is used to infer the paleoenvironmental conditions of the Valanginian to Middle Cenomanian (Cretaceous) section of the western Shushan Basin, northern Egypt. The data obtained contribute significantly to the depositional history of the basin. The low diversity of dinoflagellate cyst assemblages, along with the dominance of land-derived spores and pollen, suggest restricted (marginal) marine environments, in contrast to their coeval representatives from the Tethyan Realm. Open marine (inner shelf) environments developed at a few horizons in the Dahab and Bahariya formations, partly contemporary with the global Aptian and Cenomanian eustatic cycles. These environments were relatively more offshore than those described in the eastern and southeastern parts of the basin. The study of total palynological organic matter (TPOM) has contributed largely to these established environmental settings. It has also allowed the recognition of redox (suboxic to anoxic) conditions and the impact of a large magnitude of terrigenous influence.
Ant algorithms for finding weighted and unweighted maximum cliques in d-division graphs
Authors: Schiff Krzysztof
Published: June 2024

This article deals with the problem of finding the maximum number of maximum cliques in a weighted graph with all edges between vertices from different d-division of a graph with the minimum total weight of all these cliques, and the problem of finding the maximum number of maximum cliques in a nonweighted graph with not all edges between vertices from different d-division of the graph. This article presents new ant algorithms with new desire functions for these problems. These algorithms were tested for their purpose with different changing input parameters, the test results were tabulated and discussed, the best algorithms were indicated.
Virtual Criminal Proceedings: The Lithuanian Experience
Authors: Povylius Kristijonas
Published: June 2024

Although remote criminal proceedings have existed in Lithuania for some time, they have never been used as extensively as during the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic demonstrated that remote criminal proceedings could help prevent the spread of infectious diseases and at the same time facilitate the criminal justice process by eliminating, for example, the need to spend time travelling to the location of the proceedings or wasting other resources. For this reason, even after the COVID-19 pandemic, remote criminal proceedings remained popular. However, the remote criminal process is not a neutral substitute for the in-person criminal proceedings. It has an impact on the traditional paradigm of criminal proceedings that is not always positive. This article discusses the regulation of remote criminal proceedings in Lithuania by presenting the findings of an empirical study of Lithuanian lawyers’ perspectives on the remote criminal process which surveyed more than 100 Lithuanian lawyers (judges, prosecutors, lawyers, and pre-trial investigation officers). The article discusses the main advantages and disadvantages of remote criminal proceedings noted by the professionals and identifies legal problems caused by such mode of proceedings. The paper seeks to demonstrate that the development of remote criminal proceedings should be carried out with caution, taking into account its impact on the quality of criminal proceedings and the rights of the participants.
Withdrawal from a Human Rights Treaty and Peremptory Norms of International Law: The case of “Belarus 2020”
Authors: Ulyashyna Liudmila
Published: June 2024

The article analyzes the general concept of withdrawal from human rights treaties and addresses a specific case of withdrawal from the Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. The article argues that the human rights regime, due to its axiological nature, the non-reciprocal character of treaty parties’ relations, and the final beneficiaries´ expectations, needs lex specialis provisions on the withdrawal matters. Moreover, the results of analyses of the United Nations’ bodies show that the general clause on withdrawal being requested by a non-democratic state may lead to the denial of access to international justice for indivi duals and jeopardize the entire human rights protection system. Nowadays, however, the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties does not satisfy the needs of the human rights regime. The United Nations and its mandate holders are recommended to request an advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice to clarify the compliance of the termination clause of the human rights treaties with the common values of the international society of states as a whole and the principles of the United Nations.

The Possibility of Applying Artificial Intelligence in the Delivery of Justice by Courts
Authors: Tamošiūnienė Egidija , Terebeiza Žilvinas , Doržinkevič Artur
Published: June 2024

The article analyses the prospects for the application of artificial intelligence in the delivery of justice by courts. The application of artificial intelligence is increasingly spreading in various different areas of life - both in the daily life of individuals and in the public sector. One of the main areas where artificial intelligence is already being applied is in the area of justice. However, given the complexity and importance of this field, the question arises whether artificial intelligence could really replace the person of the judge. In order to answer this question, the authors first assess what constitutes the delivery of justice. Secondly, the authors analyse the concept of artificial intelligence and the possibilities of its use. Thirdly, the authors assess the potential and risks of artificial intelligence in the delivery of justice. The paper reviews various artificial intelligence models already in use around the world and assesses the application of various technologies (large language models such as ChatGPT) in the court. Finally, conclusions are drawn as to whether artificial intelligence can replace the person of the judge.
Urban encounter: First confirmed record of a golden jackal (Canis aureus) in Vienna, Austria
Authors: Hatlauf Jennifer
Published: June 2024

This study reports the first official record of a golden jackal (Canis aureus) in the capital city of Austria, Vienna. The specimen, a young male individual, was discovered as a roadkill in the northern part of the city on January 25th, 2023. It suffered from notable endoparasite and ectoparasite infestations, as well as bacterial pneumonia. Additional field studies with bioacoustic stimulation and the use of a scat detection dog to search for further indications of presence in the area of the accident revealed no further proof of other golden jackals, indicating a high probability of this animal being a disperser in search of a mating partner. This event exemplifies the species' range expansion, driven by a combination of factors. The significance of this discovery and the challenges within the context of mammal research and urban ecology are discussed.
