Authors: Othman Ahmad Ridzwan , Muhamad Razib Natasha Iman , Zahrah Wahyuni
Published: June 2022

The kitchen is where family members gather and household chores are primarily done. The purpose of the study is to highlight the issue of the comfort of Malaysian low-cost housing kitchens. It is the space commonly disregarded and has been a cause for many other issues relating to health, safety, and cleanliness. To propose a better design strategy, a basic understanding of the underlying principles and design development is pertinent to extracting the key elements that make up a good kitchen. It will serve as a basis for a revised guideline for plan layout, particularly in Malaysian low-cost housings.

Were wages converging during the 2010s expansion?
Authors: Dey Matthew , Handwerker Elizabeth Weber , Piccone Jr David S. , Voorheis John
Published: June 2022

This article uses multiple surveys and data sourced from administrative records to examine trends in wage inequality from 2003 to 2019. Survey evidence shows that wages were growing more unequal from 2003 to 2013 as wages grew faster among high-wage workers than among low-wage workers. However, from 2013 to 2019, the same surveys show substantial wage gains for workers in the second and third deciles of the wage distribution, particularly among material moving workers and health aides. Administrative tax data also show substantial gains in annual wage and salary earnings income for earners in the lower portion of the earnings distribution in the same years. Wage growth among lower wage workers was large enough to reduce overall wage inequality from 2013 to 2019 in Occupational Employment and Wages Survey data. In tax data, wage growth among lower earning workers was large enough to reduce overall earnings inequality from 2010 to 2018. In data from the Current Population Survey, a plateau was found in overall wage inequality—rather than the clear decline found in the other two data sources—in the later years of the economic expansion.
The Usability of a Smartphone-Based Fall Risk Assessment App for Adult Wheelchair Users: Observational Study
Authors: Frechette Mikaela , Fanning Jason , Hsieh Katherine , Rice Laura , Sosnoff Jacob
Published: June 2022

Background

Individuals who use wheelchairs and scooters rarely undergo fall risk screening. Mobile health technology is a possible avenue to provide fall risk assessment. The promise of this approach is dependent upon its usability.

Objective

We aimed to determine the usability of a fall risk mobile health app and identify key technology development insights for aging adults who use wheeled devices.

Methods

Two rounds (with 5 participants in each round) of usability testing utilizing an iterative design-evaluation process were performed. Participants completed use of the custom-designed fall risk app, Steady-Wheels. To quantify fall risk, the app led participants through 12 demographic questions and 3 progressively more challenging seated balance tasks. Once completed, participants shared insights on the app’s usability through semistructured interviews and completion of the Systematic Usability Scale. Testing sessions were recorded and transcribed. Codes were identified within the transcriptions to create themes. Average Systematic Usability Scale scores were calculated for each round.

Results

The first round of testing yielded 2 main themes: ease of use and flexibility of design. Systematic Usability Scale scores ranged from 72.5 to 97.5 with a mean score of 84.5 (SD 11.4). After modifications were made, the second round of testing yielded 2 new themes: app layout and clarity of instruction. Systematic Usability Scale scores improved in the second iteration and ranged from 87.5 to 97.5 with a mean score of 91.9 (SD 4.3).

Conclusions

The mobile health app, Steady-Wheels, has excellent usability and the potential to provide adult wheeled device users with an easy-to-use, remote fall risk assessment tool. Characteristics that promoted usability were guided navigation, large text and radio buttons, clear and brief instructions accompanied by representative illustrations, and simple error recovery. Intuitive fall risk reporting was achieved through the presentation of a single number located on a color-coordinated continuum that delineated low, medium, and high risk.

Authors: Yoo Suyoung , Chang Hansol , kim Taerim , yoon Hee , Hwang Sung Yeon , Shin Tae Gun , Sim Min Seob , Jo Ik joon , Choi Jin-Ho , Cha Won Chul
Published: June 2022

Background

In the emergency department (ED), the result obtained using the 12-lead electrocardiography (ECG) is the basis for diagnosing and treating patients with chest pain. It was found that performing ECG at the appropriate time could improve treatment outcomes. Hence, a wearable ECG device with a timer can ensure that the findings are continuously recorded.

Objective

We aimed to compare the time accuracy of a single-patch 12-lead ECG (SP-ECG) with that of conventional ECG (C-ECG). We hypothesized that SP-ECG would result in better time accuracy.

Methods

Adult patients who visited the emergency room with chest pain but were not in shock were randomly assigned to one of the following 2 groups: the SP-ECG group or the C-ECG group. The final analysis included 33 (92%) of the 36 patients recruited. The primary outcome was the comparison of the time taken by the 2 groups to record the ECG. The average ages of the participants in the SP-ECG and C-ECG groups were 63.7 (SD 18.4) and 58.1 (SD 12.4) years, respectively.

Results

With a power of 0.95 and effect sizes of 0.05 and 1.36, the minimum number of samples was calculated. The minimum sample size for each SP-ECG and C-ECG group is 15.36 participants, assuming a 20% dropout rate. As a result, 36 patients with chest pain participated, and 33 of them were analyzed. The timeliness of SP-ECG and C-ECG for the first follow-up ECG was 87.5% and 47.0%, respectively (P=.74). It was 75.0% and 35.2% at the second follow-up, respectively (P=.71).

Conclusions

Continuous ECG monitoring with minimal interference from other examinations is feasible and essential in complex ED situations. However, the precision of SP-ECG has not yet been proved. Nevertheless, the application of SP-ECG is expected to improve overcrowding and human resource shortages in EDs, though more research is needed.

The Effectiveness of Web-Based Psychotherapy to Treat and Prevent Burnout: Controlled Trial
Authors: Michelsen Clive , Kjellgren Anette
Published: June 2022

Background

Burnout is a hidden productivity killer in organizations. Finding a solution to efficiently measure and proactively prevent or rehabilitate employees with burnout is a challenge. To meet this unabated demand, companies and caregivers can focus on proactive measures to prevent “Burnout as an Occupational Phenomenon.”

Objective

We aimed to address effectiveness, reliability, and validity of the empowerment for participation (EFP) batch of assessments to measure burnout risk in relation to the efficacy of web-based interventions using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and floating to improve mental health and well-being. We introduced three risk assessments: risk for burnout, risk of anxiety, and risk for depression.

Methods

We used an interventional, empirical, and parallel design using raw EFP psychometric data to measure the effectiveness of web-based therapy to reduce the risk of burnout between a control group and web-based therapy group. A total of 50 participants were selected. The rehabilitation and control groups consisted of 25 normally distributed employees each. The rehabilitation group received therapy, whereas the control group had not yet received any form of therapy. IBM SPSS was used to analyze the data collected, and a repeated measures ANOVA, an analysis of covariance, a discriminant analysis, and a construct validity analysis were used to test for reliability and validity. The group was selected from a list of employees within the My-E-Health ecosystem who showed a moderate or high risk for burnout. All assessments and mixed-method CBT were web-based, and floating was conducted at designated locations. The complete EFP assessment was integrated into a digital ecosystem designed for this purpose and therapy, offering a secure and encrypted ecosystem.

Results

There was a statistically significant difference between pre- and postassessment scores for burnout. The reliability of the burnout measure was good (Cronbach α=.858; mean 1.826, SD 3.008; Cohen d=0.607; P<.001) with a high validity of 0.9420. A paired samples 2-tailed test showed a good t score of 4.292 and P<.001, with a good effect size, Cohen d=0.607. Web-based therapy reduced the risk for burnout in participants compared with the control group. Tests of between-subject effects show F=16.964, a significant difference between the control group and the web-based therapy group: P<.001, with movement between the group variables of 0.261 or 26.1% for the dependent variable.

Conclusions

This study suggests good reliability and validity of using web-based interventional mixed methods CBT to reduce the risk of burnout. The EFP batch of web-based assessments could reliably identify morbidity risk levels and successfully measure clinical interventions and rehabilitation with consistently reliable results to serve as both a diagnostic and therapeutic tool worthy of major research in the future.

Clinical Outcomes After a Digital Musculoskeletal Program for Acute and Subacute Pain: Observational, Longitudinal Study With Comparison Group (Preprint)
Authors: Wang Grace , Yang Manshu , Hong Mindy , Krauss Jeffrey , Bailey Jeannie F
Published: June 2022

BACKGROUND

Telerehabilitation for musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions may produce similar or better outcomes than usual care, but most telerehabilitation studies address only chronic or postsurgical pain.

OBJECTIVE

We aimed to examine pain and function at 3, 6, and 12 weeks for individuals with acute and subacute MSK pain who took part in a digital MSK program versus a nonparticipant comparison group.

METHODS

We conducted an observational, longitudinal study with a nonparticipant comparison group. The intervention group had video visits with physical therapists who recommended exercise therapies and educational articles delivered via an app. Nonparticipants were those who were registered but unable to participate because their benefit coverage had not yet begun. We collected pain and function outcomes through surveys delivered at 3-, 6-, and 12-week follow-ups. We conducted descriptive analyses, unadjusted regression, and mixed effects regression adjusting for baseline characteristics, time as fixed effects, and a time*group interaction term.

RESULTS

The analysis included data from 675 nonparticipants and 262 intervention group participants. Compared to baseline, the intervention group showed significantly more pain improvement at 3, 6, and 12 weeks versus nonparticipants after adjusting for baseline factors. Specifically, the intervention group’s pain scores decreased by 55.8% at 3 weeks versus baseline, 69.1% at 6 weeks, and 73% at 12 weeks. The intervention group’s adjusted pain scores decreased from 43.7 (95% CI 41.1-46.2) at baseline to 19.3 (95% CI 16.8-21.8) at 3 weeks to 13.5 (95% CI 10.8-16.2) at 6 weeks to 11.8 (95% CI 9-14.6) at 12 weeks. In contrast, nonparticipants’ pain scores decreased by 30.8% at 3 weeks versus baseline, 45.8% at 6 weeks, and 46.7% at 12 weeks. Nonparticipants’ adjusted pain scores decreased from 43.8 (95% CI 42-45.5) at baseline to 30.3 (95% CI 27.1-33.5) at 3 weeks to 23.7 (95% CI 20-27.5) at 6 weeks to 23.3 (95% CI 19.6-27) at 12 weeks. After adjustments, the percentage of participants reporting that pain was better or much better at follow-up was significantly higher by 40.6% at 3 weeks, 31.4% at 6 weeks, and 31.2% at 12 weeks for intervention group participants versus nonparticipants. After adjustments, the percentage of participants with meaningful functional improvement at follow-up was significantly higher by 15.2% at 3 weeks and 24.6% at 12 weeks for intervention group participants versus nonparticipants.

CONCLUSIONS

A digital MSK program may help to improve pain and function in the short term among those with acute and subacute MSK pain.
Research on the strategy of implementing shared decision making between doctors and patients in internet hospital diagnosis and treatment services based on patients’ needs (Preprint)
Authors: Yu Tianzhi , Jin Chunjie , Wu Xiaodan , Yue Dianmin
Published: June 2022

BACKGROUND

Internet hospitals are developing rapidly in China, and their convenient and efficient medical services are recognized by more and more patients. How to carry out SDM between doctors and patients in internet hospital diagnosis and treatment services and improve patients' medical experience is a way to further improve online medical service.

OBJECTIVE

To study the strategy of implementing doctor-patient SDM in internet hospital diagnosis and treatment services based on patients’ needs.

METHODS

The chi-square test is used to analyze the patient characteristics and medical service needs of internet hospital patients, so as to determine the needs for SDM between doctors and patients of internet hospitals.

RESULTS

Internet hospital patients from 10 clinical departments are significantly different in gender (χ2value 3424.34, P value 0), age (χ2 value 27.75.81, P value 0), mode of payment (χ2 value 3501.1, P value 0), geographical distribution (χ2 value 347.15, P value 0), and duration of illness (χ2 value 2863.3, P value 0). Patient medical needs include prescribing drugs, prescribing examinations, explanation of medical records, instruction in drug use, preparations before hospitalization, further consultation with doctors (unspecified purpose), treatment plan consultation, initial diagnosis based on symptoms, and follow-up and subsequent consultation after discharge. The medical needs of patients in different clinical departments show significant difference (χ2 value 8465.52, P value 0).

CONCLUSIONS

Internet hospitals provide a good information platform, and most of the patients admitted by internet hospitals are patients with mild and chronic diseases, which is conducive to SDM between doctors and patients. In the process of implementing doctor-patient SDM, differentiated strategies should be adopted, focusing on patients whose diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up diagnosis are unclear, guiding patients to engage in doctor-patient SDM, and emphasizing the development of doctor-patient SDM assistance tools at the clinical department level and enhancing the policy support and promotion of SDM between doctors and patients at the hospital level.
Efficacy of Web-Based, Guided Self-help Cognitive Behavioral Therapy–Enhanced for Binge Eating Disorder: Randomized Controlled Trial (Preprint)
Authors: Melisse Bernou , Berg Elske van den , Jonge Margo de , Blankers Matthijs , Furth Eric van , Dekker Jack , Beurs Edwin de
Published: June 2022

BACKGROUND

Owing to the gap between treatment supply and demand, there are long waiting periods for patients with binge eating disorder, and there is an urgent need to increase their access to specialized treatment. Guided self-help cognitive behavioral therapy–enhanced (CBT-E) may have great advantages for patients if its efficacy can be established.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to examine the efficacy of guided self-help CBT-E compared with that of a delayed-treatment control condition.

METHODS

A single-blind 2-arm randomized controlled trial was designed to evaluate guided self-help CBT-E according to an intention-to-treat analysis. A total of 180 patients were randomly assigned to guided self-help CBT-E (n=90, 50%) or the delayed-treatment control condition (n=90, 50%) for which guided self-help CBT-E was provided after the initial 12-week delay. The primary outcome was reduction in binges. The secondary outcome was full recovery at the end of treatment, as measured using the Eating Disorder Examination during the last 4 weeks of treatment. A linear mixed model analysis was performed to compare treatment outcomes at the end of treatment. A second linear mixed model analysis was performed to measure between- and within-group effects for up to 24 weeks of follow-up. The Eating Disorder Examination–Questionnaire and clinical impairment assessment were conducted before and after treatment and during follow-up. In addition, dropout rates were assessed in both conditions.

RESULTS

During the last 4 weeks of treatment, objective binges reduced from an average of 19 (SD 16) to 3 (SD 5) binges, and 40% (36/90) showed full recovery in the guided self-help CBT-E group. Between-group effect size (Cohen d) was 1.0 for objective binges. At follow-up, after both groups received treatment, there was no longer a difference between the groups. Of the 180 participants, 142 (78.9%) completed treatment. The overall treatment dropout appeared to be associated with gender, level of education, and number of objective binges at baseline but not with treatment condition.

CONCLUSIONS

This is the first study to investigate the efficacy of guided self-help CBT-E. Guided self-help CBT-E appeared to be an efficacious treatment. This study’s findings underscore the international guidelines recommending this type of treatment for binge eating disorder.

Cross-contextual Academic Reading Difficulties: An Exploratory Case Study of Two EFL Doctoral Students
Authors: Song Beibei
Published: June 2022

This exploratory case study aims to investigate two Chinese Mainland doctoral students’ cross-contextual academic reading difficulties in a northern public Taiwanese university. Drawing on Engeström’s (1987) activity theory, this study attempts to address the research question: Why do Chinese Mainland students have academic reading difficulties upon first arrival in Taiwan? Data were collected through oral narratives, semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, frequent informal conversations and relevant documents for data triangulation. The results showed that participants’ academic reading difficulties were associated with different norms and conventions between Chinese Mainland and Taiwanese academic contexts. Described within two activity systems, the major reasons underlying were attributed to the changed identities, different mediations, goals and distinctive communities where academic rules and teachers’ roles differed significantly. Pedagogical implications of institutions, instructors and students were provided.
War Field Spying Robot with Wireless Camera
Authors: Mudda Mallikarjun
Published: June 2022

Abstract: As long as there are technological advancements, tactical powers will use these headways to reduce the risk of defeats and defeat their opponents. With the advancement of modern technology, it is increasingly dependent on the use of cutting-edge weapons or hardware. Advanced mechanics is one of the hottest fields of the modern era, with governments focusing on it for military purposes in both war and peace. They've been needed for a long time for demining and salvage work, but they've recently been repurposed for battle and spy operations. Today's military forces use a variety of robots for a variety of tasks, ranging from mine detection to rescue operations. They'll be utilized for reconnaissance and surveillance in the future, as well as logistics and support, communications infrastructure, forward-deployed offensive operations, and tactical decoys to hide manned assets manoeuvring. To make robots more effective in the unpredictable chaotic environment of the battlefield, researchers are lookinginto many characteristics of robots in laboratories to see if they can do their jobs as well as a humanoperated machine. The latest technology, software, and hardware are being explored in order to develop powerful and intelligent robots for various war-fighting activities. This paper discusses the employment of robotic technologies in combat surveillance. These robots are being tested to see if they can work in a self-contained, cooperative, and controlled environment . Our main focus is on the uses of robots in conflict, harmony, and their impact on society.

Authors: S Dr. Manishankar
Published: June 2022

Abstract: The Internet of Things is the most recent & rapidly developing technology of our time. This paper proposed the idea of Hybrid-cellular Wireless sensor network architecture which uses a functioning cellular base station. A routing scheme is also proposed for the emergency scenario that systematically utilizes accessible devices. Wireless devices are taken into account in the proposed emergency communication architecture, which also supports WSN's self-organizing function. Within a few hours, this communication model may be put up in disaster-stricken communities. The proposed methodology can achieve the goal of establishing communication between trapped and rescue volunteers by providing emergency communication infrastructure. A control station serves as an accurate information system for rescue teams' mobility, organization, and coordination. To assure their legality, a secure communication environment with rigorous IP address registration is provided. This approach provides a solution to issues such as calamity recovery networks and trapped victim search and rescue operations

Signed, Sealed, Delivered: An Analysis of the Communication Tactics Used in the Development of the European Union’s Ban on Seal Products
Authors: Webb Meredith
Published: June 2022

This article examines how various stakeholders, including national governments, animal welfare organizations, and Indigenous groups, employed different communication tactics and methods to advocate for their positions regarding Regulation 1007/2009. Deconstructing the European Union’s ban on seal products and how it came into effect provides clarity on these communication tactics and their impact on the policy. This analysis focuses on the economic and cultural consequences of the ban in the Inuit Nunangat, and how Inuit communities have created responsive communication strategies to articulate their perspectives. The European Parliament ultimately limited its focus to animal rights and welfare, neglecting to sufficiently consider the evidence-based and scientific reporting provided by the European Commission, Norway, Canada, and Inuit communities.
Of Kale and Caribou
Authors: Johnson Lauren Kathryn
Published: June 2022

Rates of food insecurity in Nunavut are the highest in Canada. This paper will focus on the federal government’s role in solving this problem, arguing that a thorough examination of the coherence of existing arrangements, institutions, programs, and regulations that impact food insecurity in Nunavut is needed. As an example, this paper will focus on three factors that contribute to food insecurity among the Inuit of Nunavut and policies that seek to address them or that exacerbate them: 1) high prices of food sourced from southern Canada, and the efficacy of the Government of Canada’s program, Nutrition North Canada, in decreasing those prices; 2) decreased rates of country food consumption and possible programming to increase that consumption; and 3) the role of large-scale infrastructure projects in damaging the Inuit traditional food system, followed by recommendations for the types of infrastructure projects that would strengthen food security, rather than harm it.
The City of Ottawa’s Smart Growth Challenge
Authors: Kipper Karyn
Published: June 2022

As municipalities continue to address urban sprawl and development issues, smart growth principles are being adopted into Official Plans. However, despite their incorporation within municipal and provincial planning documents, implementation gaps remain. This paper explores and seeks to understand this gap using a City of Ottawa case study. Through a content analysis of the preliminary document for the City’s New Official Plan, this paper argues that the City of Ottawa will incorporate smart growth principles into its  New Official Plan, but will continue to experience institutional, political, economic and socio-cultural barriers to implementation. It is key that policymakers, city staff, and smart growth advocates identify and address these barriers during the planning process by engaging with federal and provincial governments, as well as community stakeholders. Additional research, such as into the impact of Covid-19 on municipalities, will be essential for policymakers and city staff in addressing these barriers in the future.
Face the Facts
Authors: Presley Laura
Published: June 2022

Facial recognition technology (FRT) is a tool employed by both public and private actors, with uses ranging from personalized marketing to security. However, FRT’s negative reputation for accuracy issues and potential privacy invasion has created cause for concern. Finding the balance between prioritizing respect for these ethical considerations and ensuring FRT's legitimate use is key to its future success. This paper argues that while Canada has made progress in mitigating privacy invasion issues, significant work must be done to address widespread accuracy issues within FRT systems.
Queering Institutions, Nearing Inclusion
Authors: Neals Roslyn
Published: June 2022

There is overwhelming evidence that Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, intersex, and asexual (2SLGBTQIA+) youth in Canada experience significantly higher rates of mental health problems than their heterosexual and cisgender peers. This paper argues that intersectoral action on the social determinants of health (SDOH) at all levels of government is necessary to meaningfully address 2SLGBTQIA+ youth mental health in Canada. A literature review of English-language, peer-reviewed articles and grey literature was conducted to assess the root determinants of 2SLGBTQIA+ youth mental health. This paper utilizes an intersectional lens and the 3i framework to assess the relevant ideas, interests, and institutions that fuel mental health inequities facing 2SLGBTQIA+ youth in Canada. This paper recommends a pan-Canadian 2SLGBTQIA+ Health Strategy; a shift of focus towards SDOH; improving sex education curricula and teacher training; building resilience among 2SLGBTQIA+ youth; and strengthening the shelter system to improve 2SLGBTQIA+ youth mental health in Canada.
The Parent (Mother?) Trap
Authors: Cheeks Brooke
Published: June 2022

Gender equality is increasingly becoming a goal of a variety of social policies. This paper explores the parental leave system, and the issues with it. Specifically, it examines the low rates of fathers who take leave, and the impact of this on traditional gender norms and the division of labour, showing how these policies can work to encourage or discourage gender equality based on their design. This paper contemplates the role of behavioural approaches in public policy and its application to parental leave policies, especially concerning improving their effectiveness in promoting leave to fathers. This paper argues that the relevancy of behavioural public policy to social care policies, such as parental leave, has been overlooked in the literature and that ample opportunities exist for powerful behavioural tools, such as ‘nudging,’ ‘framing,’ and ‘default option design,’ to play a robust and effective part in moving the needle on gender equality.
A Reconciliatory Pathway for Providing Decent Work for Indigenous Peoples Within the Nonprofit Sector
Authors: Mintram Bill
Published: June 2022

Nonprofit organizations across Canada are advancing reconciliatory pathways in providing decent work for Indigenous peoples.  This article explores the area of decent work, offering an Indigenous and reconciliatory lens to reflect upon organizational systems, structures, and policies.  When Indigenous self-determination and ways of knowing, doing, or being are better understood and accommodated, a nonprofit’s ability to recruit, employ, support, and retain Indigenous employees can change dramatically.  This challenge requires an ongoing practice of listening, learning, and then acting.  This paper explores Indigenous rights and self-determination, equity, cultural safety and humility, the roles of Elders and Knowledge Keepers, representative workforces, and policy considerations.  As nonprofit leaders and boards champion changes within an organizational culture that outline reconciliatory pathways, these shifts in ways of doing, knowing, and being can become sustainable and lead to long-term, transformational change.
Limits of Short-Time Evolution of Local Hamiltonians
Authors: Moosavian Ali Hamed , Kahani Seyed Sajad , Beigi Salman
Published: June 2022

Evolutions of local Hamiltonians in short times are expected to remain local and thus limited. In this paper, we validate this intuition by proving some limitations on short-time evolutions of local time-dependent Hamiltonians. We show that the distribution of the measurement output of short-time (at most logarithmic) evolutions of local Hamiltonians are concentrated and satisfy an isoperimetric inequality. To showcase explicit applications of our results, we study the MAXCUT problem and conclude that quantum annealing needs at least a run-time that scales logarithmically in the problem size to beat classical algorithms on MAXCUT. To establish our results, we also prove a Lieb-Robinson bound that works for time-dependent Hamiltonians which might be of independent interest.
Cultural and historical conditions of modifications in Russian phraseological units with letter names
Authors: Diadechko Liudmyla P. , Wang Bingji
Published: June 2022

The article discusses causes, ways, and results of modifying Russian phraseological units with a letter-name component, which play a significant role in all written linguistic cultures. The relevance of the theme is proven by the sustained attention of linguists to the origin and functioning of phraseological units, the objective to comprehend the underlying processes of interacting between extralinguistic reality, including culture, and language structures, and by the social demand - the rise of interest of native Russian speakers in the national essence and history of the alphabet. The study aims at identifying causes for modification of Russian phraseological units with letter-name components, demonstrating the central role of cultural and historical factor in the modification process, analyzing modification ways and results. The material of the study includes dictionaries and text corpora, along with the authors’ own collection of examples from spontaneous speech in Russian films and digital media. Descriptive and historical-etymological methods, contextual, semantic and structural analysis, and the method of double application were used in the research. The paper argues that the main historical and cultural causes of modifications of phraseological units in question include spelling reforms, progressive methods of teaching reading and writing, language contacts of Russian speakers with people using other writing systems, changes in cultural and ideological priorities, influential works of art. The main way of modification - lexical change of the old letter name to the contemporary one - concedes to more creative ways not only in the sphere of occasional creation of phraseological units, as before, but also in common usage. As a result of this modification, former international models of phraseological units develop national features.
