VIDEO TUTORIALS AS POTENTIAL ALLIES IN ESP CLASSROOM
Authors: Milošević Danica
Published: December 2022

The use of video materials as teaching aids in ESP courses has been advised and widely practiced by ESP scholars for decades. In the highly technologically developed and networked world of today which has given rise to a cyber culture and on-line education, video tutorials have emerged not that long ago as a platform for sharing knowledge on various scientific, professional and every-day topics. Bearing this in mind, the paper has an intention to explore how technical video tutorials can be used in ESP classroom with technology students. In view of promoting the deep learning strategy which insists on implementation of digital technologies in the 21st century education, this paper will pinpoint the effects of technical video tutorials on the learning process in ESP settings, observe student reactions to guest tutors and their short video-lectures, and analyze some of the outcomes of this type of instruction.

Authors: Čepon Slavica
Published: December 2022

Learning a new language presents a host of challenges for non-native speakers. Foreign language anxiety of non-native speakers is one of the main issues in teaching and learning a foreign language. Non-native students of foreign languages and their teachers may not be aware of their different views on foreign language anxiety, therefore an attempt at fostering dialogue and mutual understanding must be made with a view to informing all parties concerned. This paper will examine only speaking anxiety of non-native learners of five different foreign languages for specific purposes (FLSP). The aim is to identify FLSP students' and teachers' perspectives on the causes of FLSP speaking anxiety as well as any differences in their viewpoints. A survey was conducted with FLSP students and teachers from all four Slovenian universities in winter 2020/2021. The results show the discrepancies between FLSP students' and teachers' views on the triggers for speaking anxiety of non-native speakers as learners of FLSP.

La configuración del héroe artista y sus mutaciones en El doctor Centeno e Il piacere
Authors: Mejía Estévez Diego
Published: December 2022

En este artículo muestro la comparación de novelas del fin de siècle con el fin de evidenciar los resultados de la compleja evolución del héroe artista en la novela europea (a partir de la tradición española e italiana) especialmente vinculada a los métodos del realismo y el decadentismo. Busco exponer las particularidades que hay en la configuración del dramaturgo Alejandro Miquis en El doctor Centeno (1883), ligadas a las estrategias del segundo realismo representado por Pérez Galdós, así como el contraste en su modo de articular al personaje artista con respecto a sus contemporáneos, en este caso Gabriele D’Annunzio y su novela más emblemática, Il piacere (1889), la cual concentra buena parte de los tópicos de la novela decadentista. En ese sentido, el artículo también traza dos de las facetas principales que definen la novela de artistas, es decir, la del bohemio y la del dandi.

SLIM: A Lightweight Block Cipher for Internet of Health Things.
Authors: Ruhil Ankit , Bhatia Dr. Manjot Kaur , kumari Pooja
Published: December 2022

Abstract: Increased protection of resource-constrained devices, such as radio frequency identification (RFID) systems, is in high demand these days. For high-resource desktop PCs, current encryption techniques are sufficient. Access control systems, transaction banking systems, and payment systems are all examples of high-security applications where RFID technology are used. The attacker tries to deceive RFIDs in order to gain illegal access to services without paying for them or to get around security measures by detecting a secret password. The most difficult problem with RFID systems is ensuring effective protection against such infringements. For RFID systems, lightweight cryptography can give security assurance. SLIM is a novel ultralightweight cryptography technique for RFID devices presented in this paper. Since block ciphers are the most commonly used cryptographic and provide highly strong protection for IoT devices, SLIM is a 32-bit block cipher based on the Feistel structure. The most difficult aspect of creating a lightweight block cipher is balancing performance, cost, and security. SLIM, like all symmetric block ciphers, encrypts and decrypts using the same key. The suggested method performs well in both hardware and software contexts, has a small implementation footprint, a reasonable cost/security ratio for RFID devices, and is energyefficient. SLIM has shown high immunity to the most successful linear and differential cryptanalysis assaults, as well as a substantial margin of defense against them.

Impact of the Social Credit System in China on Political Communication
Authors: Antoncheva O. A. , Apanasenko T. E.
Published: December 2022

The social credit system, created in the PRC in 2014 and which has been in widespread use since approximately 2016, is being evaluated.

The assessment by the population is being considered. An estimate expressed in market indicators is given. Assessment by a learned community trying to comprehend the social credit system in terms of the paradigm of authoritarian government analyzed.

The results of the consideration of market indicators show that the introduction of the social credit system did not have an impact on business climate indicators such as BCI or PMI.

Meanwhile, for the sake of business climate indicators, the social credit system was introduced, as was stated when it was created: this system was designed to prevent unscrupulous behavior of frms. Thus, the declared goal of introducing a social credit system was not achieved.

It seems logical to wonder if there was a diﬀerent goal from the declared goal of introducing social credit, the goal of strengthening the tendency of authoritarian government.

At the same time, point studies of the assessment of the social credit system by the population showed a high level of approval of social credit by citizens.

Western liberal thought with its cult of individualism sees the following consequences of the introduction of a social credit system: violation of human rights, non-observance of the principle of social justice, violation of the principle of privacy, violation of the principle of equality of rights, development of totalitarian and authoritarian tendencies.

It is assumed that some conclusions based on this approach may be called into question due to a mismatch of values: it is proved that assessment categories based on the values of extreme individualism are poorly applied to Chinese society, whose ideology is based on collectivist values.

In this regard, a fundamentally diﬀerent approach is applied to assessing the social credit system: signs of authoritarianism are postulated as the presence of unequal opportunities for symbolic construction of reality; the social credit system is tested for such capabilities within the theory of mass communication.

The social credit system used to control the content of Internet sites will have an extremely negative impact on political communication, making it more asymmetric, on the democratic structure of the political system and human quality.

Travellings Around Western Europe and Russia in A. T. Bolotov’s Memoirs
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Krasheninnikova Olga A.
Published: December 2022

Based on the autobiographical notes of A. T. Bolotov, the article traces the main stages of the spiritual development of a Russian nobleman-landowner of the mid‑18th century through his travels in Western Europe and provincial Russia. Western civilization and culture, which the hero met while serving in Koenigsberg, gave a powerful impetus to the spiritual formation of the young memoirist. Returning to his small homeland and subsequent travels around Russia helped him gain a sense of root connection with his native soil through the creation of a family, communication with numerous relatives, through attachment to the family estate as a place of application of the creative forces of the soul. In the course of comparing the two stages of Bolotov’s life, the author of the article concludes that the small homeland is of great importance in the process of forming the personality of the hero of the 18th century during the era of the Russian Enlightenment. The author of the article proves that Bolotov was a type of character of the 18th century, harmoniously combining Western idealism (pietism) and Russian pochvenism. Particular attention is paid to the descriptions of the hero’s travels in provincial Russia, which are assessed as an original and innovative phenomenon in Russian travel literature of the late 18th – early 19th centuries.

Eficacia jurídica del principio constitucional de la dignidad de la persona
Authors: Porras Ramírez José María
Published: December 2022

El empleo de una categoría moral, ajena al Derecho, como la de dignidad humana, se revela superflua cuando sólo sirve para que los operadores jurídicos la invoquen como mero refuerzo argumental de sus decisiones, más sin atribuirle eficacia resolutoria alguna. Aun así, la apelación a la dignidad humana puede ser de utilidad cuando contribuye al pleno reconocimiento de los denominados “derechos de prestación”, habitualmente faltos de una garantía efectiva. O en las ocasiones en que ayuda a identificar o descubrir nuevos espacios de libertad. No obstante, su cara negativa aparece cuando se recurre a ella para restringir el alcance de los derechos, a fin de salvaguardar una particular moral social que se considera amenazada por el ejercicio de aquéllos.

Molecular dynamics simulation of the synergistic effect of a compound surfactant on the stability of CO2 oil-based foam
Authors: Wang Zhoujie , Li Songyan , Li Shaopeng , Zhu Jianzhong , Yang Heng
Published: December 2022

It is of great significance to study the stability of foams in the
petroleum industry. Therefore, the stability mechanism of Span 20, the
fluorinated surfactant FCO-80 and their compound system FS in a
CO oil-based foam system was studied by molecular
simulation. The sandwich model of CO oil-based foam was
constructed to reveal the stability of the foam system from the
microscopic perspective. The result shows that the
oil-CO distance of the FS foam system is 16.087 Å, and
the coordination number of oil molecules is 2.65. The diffusion
coefficient of CO in the FS foam system is
3.94×10 cm/s. This shows that
under the synergistic effect of Span 20 and FCO-80, the diffusion
coefficients of CO molecules are small, and the surface
tension is reduced, which can improve the stability of foam. The results
can supplement previous experimental results on the stability of
oil-based foam.

Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL) is a rare form of
peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCL) and is extremely uncommon in the
pediatric population. We present a case of a 15-year-old girl with SPTCL
and an unusual involvement of the breast. The FDG-PET/CT showed avid
uptake of 18F-FDG in the breast predominantly involving the subcutaneous
tissue that improves post treatment. To our knowledge, this is the first
case of breast SPTCL reported in pediatric patient. A study published by
Goto-et-al in 2019 [(1)](#ref-0001), found only 27 cases of SPTCL
under 15 years, including four infants and none of them shown breast
involvement.
House sparrows with high epigenetic potential in the Toll-like receptor 4 promoter are better able to resist a pathogenic Salmonella enterica infection

Published: December 2022

Animals encounter many novel and unpredictable challenges when moving
into new areas including pathogen exposure. Because effective immune
defenses against such threats can be costly, plastic immune responses
could be particularly advantageous, as such defenses can be engaged only
when context warrants activation. DNA methylation is a key regulator of
plasticity via its effects on gene expression. In vertebrates, DNA
methylation occurs exclusively at CpG dinucleotides, and typically, high
DNA methylation decreases gene expression. The CpG content of gene
regulatory regions may therefore represent one form of epigenetic
potential (EP), a genomic means to capacitate gene expression.
Non-native populations of house sparrows (Passer domesticus) - one of
the world’s most cosmopolitan species – have high EP in the promoter of
a key microbial surveillance gene, Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), compared
to native populations. We previously hypothesized that high EP may
enable sparrows to balance the costs and benefits of immune responses
well, a trait critical to success in novel environments. In the present
study, we found support for this hypothesis. House sparrows with high EP
in TLR4 were better able to resist a pathogenic Salmonella enterica
infection than sparrows with low EP. These results support the premise
that high EP contributes to adaptation in novel environments.
Are electrophysiological correlates of response inhibition linked to impulsivity and compulsivity? A machine-learning analysis of a Go/Nogo task
Authors: Dück Kerstin , Overmeyer Rebecca , Mohr Holger , Endrass Tanja
Published: December 2022

Heightened impulsivity and compulsivity are often found in association
with both dysfunctional everyday behavior as well as with
psychopathology. Impulsivity and compulsivity are also linked to
alterations in behavioral response inhibition and its
electrophysiological correlates. However, they are rarely examined
jointly and their effect outside of clinical samples is still disputed.
This study assesses the influence and interaction of impulsivity and
compulsivity as measured by questionnaires on behavioral performance and
event-related potentials (N2, P3a and P3b) in a visual Go/Nogo task.
Data from 250 participants from the general population (49% female; age
M = 25.16, SD = 5.07; education level: 94% high school or higher;
self-reported lifetime diagnosis of any mental disorder: 12%) were
collected. We used robust linear regression as well as regression tree
analyses, a type of machine learning algorithm, to uncover potential
non-linear effects. We did not find any significant relationship between
the self-report measures and behavioral or neural inhibition effects in
either type of analysis, with the exception of a linear effect of the
premeditation scale of the UPPS on behavioral performance. The current
sample size was large enough to uncover even small effects. We discuss
potential explanations for this current null finding. One possibility is
that inhibitory performance was unimpaired in the current sample and
that associations between inhibitory performance and self-report
measures might only be seen in samples with mental disorders.
Emergency Obstruction and Agile Management in Super large Residential Community
Authors: zhang guangqing
Published: December 2022

The management of sudden public crisis in super large residential
communities has always been a difficulty in the field of emergency
management. Through sorting out the emergency management mode and
governance logic of China’s super large residential communities,
combined with the analysis of typical public events, the paper sums up
the four types of emergency barriers that currently exist in China’s
super large residential communities, namely, “management black box”,
“structure embedded”, “load overload” and “ownership decline”, and
analyzes the reasons for their occurrence. On this basis, the paper puts
forward the principles that should be followed by agile governance, such
as principle traceability, subject coordination, structural advantages,
etc., and explores the practical path to build the agile governance of
public crisis in super large residential communities from the
perspectives of system, technology, organization, culture, etc.

Metaethnography in the Age of "Popular Folklore"
Authors: Anagnostou Yiorgos
Published: December 2022

This article focuses on the current proliferation of ethnographies written by nonprofessional ethnographers, a mode of cultural production I call "popular folklore." My task in this work is twofold. First, I discuss the function of professional folklore and anthropology as well as of the cultural commodification of ethnicities in the United States in reconfiguring the "common people"from objects of ethnography into legitimate ethnographic authors. Second, I discuss the value of a metaethnographic perspective on popular folklore for the discipline. I do so by undertaking a close analysis of the politics of a feminist popular ethnography of the "folkness" of Greek America. My reading makes a case for the productive cross-fertilization between the metaethnography of popular folklore and professional ethnography. The circulation of popular folklore, I suggest, opens a discursive space for a tactically interventionist folklore ethnography that engages in a critical dialogue with its nonprofessional counterparts. This proposed research agenda seeks to enlarge the universe of alternative meanings about the social constitution of selves or collectivities while raising acute questions about the ways to enhance the public resonance of critical folklore scholarship.
"Locating" the Nation: Football Game Day and American Dreams in Central Ohio
Authors: Lindquist Danille Christensen
Published: December 2022

This article suggests how abstract ideas like "nation" are lived and situated by examining recurring features ofAmerican football as it is experienced by spectators in central Ohio. Football-an institutionalized drama formed by its inventors to address questions of national identity and social relations-is embedded within the generically complex event known as "game day" and is framed by ongoing social practices that stem from the sport’s competitive structure. As a multifaceted event grounded in both historical contexts and live performances, this spectator sport provides an ideal case for highlighting connections among form, ideology, and identity. This article argues that as a celebratory complex, Ohio State University football enacts aspects of national identity (including tropes of competitive opportunity, mechanized teamwork, and homeland defense) in terms of shared experiences and expressions grounded in local affiliations. In particular, the much-anticipated and ritually structured performances of the OSUMarching Band guide fans in endorsing "America" and its attendant ideologies while simultaneously emphasizing local difference.
Miracle Magazine in the Sixties: Mass Media Narratives of Healings and Blessings
Authors: Baker Ronald D.
Published: December 2022

This article examines typical narratives of healings and blessings that appeared in Miracle Magazine during the 1960s under evangelist editor A. A. Allen to show how mass media preachers exploit folk beliefs. The testimonies in Miracle Magazine included, among other miracles, accounts of exorcizing bosom serpents, miracle fillings, supernatural healings of invalids, divine cures of cancer, and blessings receivedforpledging money to Allen’s ministry. Features in the magazine also dealt with visions, divine voices, prophecies, and the evils of other evangelists and denominations. Studying these printed narratives, as Linda Dégh suggests, "opens an untrodden path" for folk narrative scholars.
From Hierography to Ethnography and Back: Lydia Cabrera’s Texts and the Written Tradition in Afro-Cuban Religions
Authors: Dianteill Erwan , Swearingen Martha
Published: December 2022

Two common assumptions about Lydia Cabrera’s ethnographic work are that it is exclusively the result of fieldwork and that Afro-Cuban religions are based on oral tradition. Evidence is provided in this paper to show that 1) Cabrera also made use of early religious texts as a primary source, and 2) that her work has served as an influence on the texts used in modern Afro-Cuban religious practices, such as the anonymous book Manual del Santero (1990). An analysis is provided of the way in which Cabrera included vernacular written sources in her work, and how her work in turn has become a main source for Santería "hierography"-the writting about sacred things.
"The Dwarf and the Giant" (AT 327B) in Africa and the Middle East
Authors: Goldberg Christine
Published: December 2022

In Europe, AT 327B, "The Dwarf and the Giant," is distinguished by its ogre tale framework (children go to the ogre’s house, trick the ogre, and return home) and by the motif of the switched bed places (nightcaps, etc.) that cause the ogre to kill his own children instead of the visitors. In Africa and in the Middle East, the motif of the switched bed places is less important, although it is still part of the tale type. Instead, or in addition, one child keeps the ogre(ss) busy all night with complaints about noisy animals and a request for water carried in a sieve.
"Rebirth of a Nation": Hurston in Haiti
Authors: Duck Leigh Anne
Published: December 2022

Zora Neale Hurston’s imperialistic political rhetoric in Tell My Horse seems incongruous with her previous cultural politics, but this work should be considered in relation to developments in Haitian ethnology. Where Hurston had previously believed that cultural populism could energize a democracy, her commitment to folklore was here linked with an authoritarian and racially essentialist political ideology. Hurston responded by severing her cultural analysis from her political assessments, a process apparent also in her later political commentary.
Return of the White Raven: Postdiluvial Reconnaissance Motif A2234.1.1 Reconsidered
Authors: Korotayev Andrey , Berezkin Yuri , Kozmin Artem , Arkhipova Alexandra
Published: December 2022

This note is dedicated to the study of the motif of raven as a scavenging post-Flood scout and its "White Raven" version. In her monograph The Raven and the Carcass, Anna Birgitta Rooth proposed that this motif was brought to all parts of the New World from Western Europe by Catholic missionaries. The article suggests that both "The Raven and the Carcass" motif and its "White Raven" version existed in the New World prior to the European colonization ofAmericas.
Singing Out of Pain: Protest Songs and Social Mobilization
Authors: Payerhin Marek
Published: December 2022

The article analyzes the role of protest songs in ideological battles and social mobilization in Poland in the 1970s and 1980s. Political opposition was often expressed through songs; their most important sources included the Catholic Church, workers, students, political cabarets, rock musicians, and scouting troops. Songs chipped away at the edifice of official propaganda and ideological strictures. They created a multitude of cultural clues and points of reference to help define a societal sense of common identity, the injustice the community suffered, and the need for social mobilization to remedy the undesirable situation. The songs made a difference by offering a "natural" way to distribute elements of any tentative agreement among potential adherents of a movement. They aggregated, reinforced, and propagated common symbols and beliefs that allowed movement participants and leaders construct effective action frames. They also helped influence an independent public discourse through framing the issues.
The Importance of Endogenously Secreted GLP-1 and GIP for Postprandial Glucose Tolerance and β-Cell Function After Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass and Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery

Enhanced secretion of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) seems to be essential for improved postprandial β-cell function after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) but is less studied after sleeve gastrectomy (SG). Moreover, the role of the other major incretin hormone, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), is relatively unexplored after bariatric surgery. We studied the effects of separate and combined GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) and GIP receptor (GIPR) blockade during mixed-meal tests in unoperated (CON), SG-operated, and RYGB-operated people with no history of diabetes. Postprandial GLP-1 concentrations were highest after RYGB but also higher after SG compared with CON. In contrast, postprandial GIP concentrations were lowest after RYGB. The effect of GLP-1R versus GIPR blockade differed between groups. GLP-1R blockade reduced β-cell glucose sensitivity and increased or tended to increase postprandial glucose responses in the surgical groups but had no effect in CON. GIPR blockade reduced β-cell glucose sensitivity and increased or tended to increase postprandial glucose responses in the CON and SG groups but had no effect in the RYGB group. Our results support that GIP is the most important incretin hormone in unoperated people, whereas GLP-1 and GIP are equally important after SG, and GLP-1 is the most important incretin hormone after RYGB.
