Family and household rituals of the peoples in Dagestan: a historiographical review
Authors:   Dagestan Federal Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Ruslan I. Seferbekov
Published: October 2022

Based on historical-comparative, typological, chronological, and systemic general scientific methods, the article gives a historiographical review of pre-revolutionary, Soviet and recent his-torical, and ethnographic sources, as well as literature on the family rituals of the peoples of Da-gestan. In the Soviet and Russian ethnographic tradition, these rituals are usually attributed to the rituals of the life cycle - birth, reaching maturity, changing social status, marriage, death, and bur-ial. Rites of the life cycle are a group of rites that mark the main stages in the life of each member of society. They have ethno-cultural significance, since they are directly related to local, in partic-ular, ethnic identity and act as an important mechanism for the formation and preservation of the stability of traditional culture. According to the author, pre-revolutionary historiography, present-ed by Russian and local Russian-speaking authors, was descriptive. Under the influence of the Marxist-Leninist ideology and the class approach in describing the phenomena of culture and life, Soviet historiography, represented by metropolitan and local ethnographers, was engaged in fixing marriage, family, wedding, maternity and funeral rites and customs of relics of ancient forms of family and marriage, pre-monotheistic beliefs, and party functionaries - the fight against obsolete harmful remnants and introducing new rituals into socialist life - Komsomol and no alcohol wed-dings, etc. Both Soviet and post-Soviet authors, describing family rituals, focused on clarifying the traditional layer and new customs. The latest historiography of family rituals pays attention to the transformational processes in them under the influence of globalization, modernization, and urbanization. Giving the nomenclature of historians and ethnologists of modern, Soviet and mod-ern times engaged in the study of wedding, maternity and funeral rites of the peoples of Dagestan, the author also conducts researchers of family life among other peoples of the Caucasus and Rus-sia.

Authors:   The Institute for the Humanities Research – Affiliated Kabardian-Balkarian Sci-entific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Ludmila B. Khavzhokova
Published: October 2022

The article explores the work of the Kabardian poet Anatoly Muratovich Bitsuev. The main re-search attention is focused on the dominant motifs and genre characteristics of his poetry. The themes and problems of poems and ballads have been studied. The main lyrics of the poet are re-vealed, military and love lyrics are thoroughly analyzed. The level of assimilation of the ballad by the author under study is determined by considering the evolution of the genre in national litera-ture. The ballads “The Robber and the Storyteller”, “Love”, “Dzhambolat”, “Duel”, “Junior” are considered, their content and formal (compositional) features are studied for compliance or non-compliance with the canons of the genre. In the study's course, a complex of scientific methods was applied, including a comparative historical method, analysis, and description. The revealed results can be used in the history's study of the Adyghe (Kabardian) poetry and literature in gen-eral, the development of special courses and research in national philology.
The conceptualization problems of traditional social order in Kabarda (XVI–XVIII centuries)
Authors:   Kabardino-Balkarian State University named after Kh.M. Berbekov, Yuzanna M. Azikova
Published: October 2022

This paper analyzes the ways of reconstruction and conceptualization of the traditional organiza-tion of society and power of Kabarda in the 16th–18th centuries. This work studies features of the presentation in the generalizing works of the stage-typological characteristics of the traditional society of Kabardians in the complex of socio-spatial, socio-economic and potestary-political conditions of development. Demographic, territorial and economic factors of social and political development are emphasized as key problems, being the focus of the research attention. The in-consistency of the characteristics of the social system of medieval North Caucasian societies in historiography, presented in a summary picture of the history of “mountain feudalism”, is noted. There is a tendency to reduce the analysis of the social organization of Kabardians to the problems of “features” and “level” of development of “Kabardian feudalism”. Potestary-political identifica-tion of Kabarda in the 16th–18th centuries in the sense of organizational and governance forms of institutionalization of power is emphasized as a problem that is difficult to solve. Also, attention is drawn to the development of fruitful traditions of domestic and foreign historiography associat-ed with the study of ancient forms of statehood and institutional alternatives and analogues to the state. Successful interpretations of the social organization of traditional Kabardian society and forms of institutionalization of power are associated with modern political anthropological con-cepts, within which an assessment is made of the level of development of the considered tradi-tional and archaic communities in studying complexity of the ideological, economic, social, de-mographic, and territorial components.
Effect of quenching treatment on corrosion behavior and mechanical properties of 6061 aluminum alloy
Authors: Zedin Dr. Naser
Published: October 2022

Aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloys are widely used in wide rage of engineering applications because they have moderate corrosion resistance, excellent formability, and high specific strength. The combined effect of quenching media and aging time on corrosion behavior, mechanical properties, and microstructure of 6061 Al alloy was investigated. Potentiodynamic polarization technique was employed to study the corrosion behavior of 6061 Al alloy in 3.5 %NaCl solution. The microstructure, phases and mechanical properties were examined via optical microscope, XRD and tensile and hardness testers respectively. The results of microstructure and X-ray diffraction analyses showed that the formation of (CuAl2) and (Mg2Si) phases improved the hardness and strength. The mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of treated 6061 Al alloy were progressively increased with increasing aging time.
Turkish Migratory Beekeepers’ Opinions Towards the Current State and Problems of Apiculture Sector: A Descriptive Study in Afyonkarahisar
Authors: Akpınar Ahmet , Bozkurt Zehra
Published: October 2022

This research was carried out to examine the opinions of the migratory beekeepers in Afyonkarahisar regarding the current situation and problems of the sector. A total of 37 items were assembled under four subgroups in the questionnaire to collect the research data. The questionnaire was applied through face-to-face interviews with beekeepers during the visits to the apiaries of the enterprises. The migratory beekeepers emphasized that marketing is the most crucial problem. They stressed that the marketing assembled with a small number of intermediary companies and the labeling not based on branding and quality standards reduce the retail price of bee products. Other significant problems were unannounced agricultural pesticide spraying, increasing decline in the flora of honey plants, high equipment costs, and the lack of specific legislation for migratory beekeeping. Also, it has been stated that there were challenges in obtaining quality queen bees, finding location areas and meeting the living needs on the migration route, and accessing training on topics such as bee diseases, organic beekeeping, and Apitherapy. As a result, it has been concluded that supporting migratory beekeepers with good input and marketing management, regulations that will facilitate migration and beekeeper accommodation, and policies to increase product quality and bee health can significantly contribute to improving their capacity to adapt to innovative and competitive national strategies to be developed for beekeeping in the future.

Specific facial signals associate with categories of social actions conveyed through questions
Authors: Nota Naomi , Trujillo James , HOLLER JUDITH
Published: October 2022

The early recognition of fundamental social actions, like questions, is crucial for understanding the speaker’s intended message and planning a timely response in conversation. Questions themselves may express more than one social action category (e.g., an information request “What time is it?”, an invitation “Will you come to my party?” or a criticism “Are you crazy?”). Although human language use occurs predominantly in a multimodal context, prior research on social actions has mainly focused on the verbal modality. This study breaks new ground by investigating how conversational facial signals may map onto the expression of different types of social actions conveyed through questions. The distribution, timing, and temporal organization of facial signals across social actions was analysed in a rich corpus of naturalistic, dyadic face-to-face Dutch conversations. These social actions were: Information Requests, Understanding Checks, Self-Directed questions, Stance or Sentiment questions, Other-Initiated Repairs, Active Participation questions, questions for Structuring, Initiating or Maintaining Conversation, and Plans and Actions questions. This is the first study to reveal differences in distribution and timing of facial signals across different types of social actions. The findings raise the possibility that facial signals may facilitate social action recognition during language processing in multimodal face-to-face interaction.
Reading fiction as an intervention to alter mood state.
Authors: Howson Victoria , Dockray Samantha
Published: October 2022

BACKGROUND: Many forms of media have shown an effect on mood state, and so may confer benefits for health and wellbeing. Literary fiction has some similarities with other narrative media such as film, but the effects of reading fiction has received little attention in research. OBJECTIVE: Reading has shown to have a marked effect on an individual’s cognitions and behaviour. Reading fiction may affect wellbeing, including mood state. METHOD AND MATERIALS: The effects of reading fiction on mood was examined by two separate experiments in this paper. In the first experiment, change in mood after reading short stories was assessed, including a comparison of the effect of different story types (n=4), namely happy, sad, scary, and neutral. Mood was measured using a 4-item mood scale and the Positive and Negative Affect Scale. Participants completed the Highly Sensitive Persons Scale (HSP). In a follow-up experiment participants completed the HSP, and if they scored as being highly sensitive, they were invited to read an extract of fiction, selected for its emotional content. RESULTS: In the first experiment, no significant effect of story type was evident, although HSP scores were associated with mood change. In the follow-up experiment there was a significant increase in both positive and negative affect after reading the excerpt. CONCLUSION: Reading short stories can affect the moods of highly sensitive individuals.
Interactive crowdsourcing to fact-check politicians
Authors: Mairal Santos Espina , Bustos Florencia , Solovey Guillermo , Navajas Joaquin
Published: October 2022

The discourse of political leaders often contains false information that can misguide the public. Fact-checking agencies around the world try to reduce the negative influence of politicians by verifying their words. However, these agencies face a problem of scalability and require innovative solutions to deal with their growing amount of work. While previous studies have shown that crowdsourcing is a promising approach to fact-check news in a scalable manner, it remains unclear whether crowdsourced judgements are useful to verify the speech of politicians. This paper fills that gap by studying the effect of social influence on the accuracy of collective judgements about the veracity of political speech. In this work, we performed two experiments (Study 1: N=180; Study 2: N=240) where participants judged the veracity of 20 politically balanced phrases. Then, they were exposed to social information from politically homogeneous or heterogeneous participants. Finally, they provided revised individual judgements. We found that only heterogeneous social influence increased the accuracy of participants compared to a control condition. Overall, our results uncover the effect of social influence on the accuracy of collective judgements about the veracity of political speech and show how interactive crowdsourcing strategies can help fact-checking agencies.
Who is willing to help Ukrainian refugees and why? The role of individual prosocial dispositions and superordinate European identity
Authors: Politi Emanuele , Gale Jessica , Roblain Antoine , Bobowik Magdalena , Green Eva
Published: October 2022

In 2022, Europe experienced unprecedented citizen mobilizations to help Ukrainian refugees. Based on two parallel lines of scholarship, we examined individual prosocial dispositions and superordinate identities related to intentions to help Ukrainians. Employing a French-speaking student sample in Belgium (N = 374), in Study 1, we showed that dis- positional prosociality and European identification were both positively related to intentions to help Ukrainians. An interac- tion qualified these main effects, so that highly prosocial European identifiers were particularly willing to help. With a nationwide quota sample of the French-speaking population in Belgium (N = 371), in Study 2, we identified two processes mediating the relationship of dispositional prosociality and European identification with intentions to help Ukrainians. On the one hand, dispositional prosociality was positively related to empathy with Ukrainians, which in turn predicted participants' helping intentions. On the other hand, European identification was positively related to both empathy and identity fusion with Ukrainians, which further predicted participants' helping intentions. Overall, these findings suggest that individual prosocial dispositions and superordinate identities represent two cumulative pathways to intergroup helping. Concluding, we discuss common and specific processes related to intentions to help Ukrainians, compared with other refugee groups.
Growing Cartoon Trends Pose as Hyper-stimulant to Adolescents that Cultivates Addiction, Impair Creativity, and Inhibits Arithmetic Efficiency
Authors: soni arnav , srivastava sarvagya
Published: October 2022

Multiple mental health conditions are now related with social media use. According to numerous studies, social media use is linked to depression, anxiety, and addiction. Some former influencers are now using their platforms to show the pitfalls of presenting oneself as more capable than you actually are. Some platforms have made it more challenging to see the number of "Likes" on a post. Concerns about social media are on the rise, but researchers do not fully comprehend the affects on mental health. Some social media platforms resemble what some academics now call "hyperstimulators." These electronic technologies make it challenging to resist gratifying addictive impulses. According to a significant new theory in neuroscience known as "predictive processing," hyperstimulants may interact with cognitive and emotional processes to cause the observed negative effects. Our youth are inculcated with hyperstimulation from the moment they are born. Changing trends in children's television are including shorter scene lengths to attract viewers and foster an environment conducive to addiction. It hinders children's creativity and interpersonal abilities, and performance in generic activities suffers. The objective of this paper is to assess the addictive ness of these new shows and analyze their effect on the task performance of children.

The railway signal light system mainly uses incandescent light sources. Meanwhile, these lights operate in regular ON and OFF mode and suffer from fluctuations when a train passes by, these are all unfavourable factors that reduce the life of incandescent lamps. Therefore, the rating working time of incandescent bulbs is often short, leading to the requirements for maintenance conditions and replacement of supplies with a high frequency. This paper presents the solution of using LED technology to replace incandescent bulbs to solve the above problems. In addition, the article also mentions a solution that integrates IoT technology to help collect status data of each lamp in real time and support the deployment of smart maintenance solutions to improve operational efficiency and reliable and stable operation of the system.

Microorganisms are one of the main causes of food spoilage and diseases that seriously affect human health. Therefore, the development of materials with antibacterial ability to help repel diseases and epidemics, improve the quality of life and, in particular, ensure food safety and hygiene is receiving much attention. In this study, first, PE wax was selected as the resin matrix for grafting maleic anhydride (MAH) to obtain PEw-g-MAH. Then, PEw-g-MAH continued to be used as the frame for Polyhexamethylene guanidine (PHMG) grafting; the obtained material was PEw-g-PHMG. Finally, PEw-g-PHMG was mixed with LLDPE resin to make antimicrobial polymer blend materials and applied to produce antibacterial films used in preserving agricultural products. The mixing ratio amongst materials was investigated to attain suitable properties. The results determined the proportions of materials suitable for MAH and Styrene were 8 and 12%, PHMG and PEw-g-PHMG were 45 and 7%, respectively. At these ratios, the resulting polymer blend has mechanical and antimicrobial properties suitable for applying film packaging and food preservation.

Sacha inchi (Plukenetia Volubilis L.) was originally cultivated in Amazon rainforest in Peru. Sacha inchi seeds have high nutritional value (oil 35-40%, protein 25-30%...) [1], therefore, they are considered a “superfood”. Sacha inchi oil contains unsaturated fatty acids (omega 3, 6, 9) that humans cannot synthesise on their own. However, the Sacha inchi oil extraction process produces a large number of by-products (70% of the nut shells and oil press-cake) that are either discarded as waste or used as animal feed. To evaluate the potential and increase the use value of this protein-rich by-product, the team studied the influence of technological factors including milled particle size, temperature, and steaming time on the reduction process of tannin (to remove the stale, acrid taste) in Sacha inchi oil press-cake. The authors investigated the percentage of water added for separation, drying mode (input temperature, input pump speed) to quality as well as the recovery rate of protein powder products. The results showed that Sacha inchi oil press-cake must be crushed with a grinding size of 2-3 mm, a steaming temperature of 120oC in 20 minutes to remove the acrid taste. After de-tanning is added water, grinding, separating, and drying at the input temperature range of 170-180oC, the output temperature of 70oC, the input pump speed of 35-40 rpm, the product has the highest powder recovery rate. Protein-rich powder from Sacha inchi oil press-cake has moisture content ≤10%, protein >40%, and lipids >5%.

The method of preserving dragon fruit with smart packaging films (improved in terms of water permeability and air permeability) to improve the microclimate in the packaging is evaluated as a suitable method for these condition facilities in Vietnam and gives the best efficiency. In this study, red flesh dragon fruit was packaged in antibacterial packaging film (LLDPE-G) made based on linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) combined with polyhexamethylene guanidine (PHMG). The objective of this study was to determine the effect of the ratio of LLDPE-G packaging film area/agricultural products’ mass (cm²/g), storage temperature (ºC) to oxygen and carbon dioxide balance in the package, and nutritional and sensory quality of red-flesh dragon fruit during storage. Experimental results showed that the packaging film area/fruit mass ratio is 2.00 cm²/g, and the appropriate storage temperature is 6ºC, corresponding to the equilibrium of the microclimate at 3.77% O2 gas concentration and 5.84% CO2concentration. After 20 days of storage, the natural weight loss reached 7.86%, the fruit still retained its characteristics (with index a 50.55), total soluble solids (TSS) reached 14.56oBrix, vitamin C content reached 9.72 mg/100 g. These indicators met the food hygiene and safety standards on microbiology according to regulations of good agricultural practices (GAP).

The subsurface configuration or stratigraphy of the Sidoarjo Hot Mudflow (Lumpur Sidoarjo/LUSI) is used to see what formations are transported out and how the material properties can be known from the well log data of Banjarpanji#1 or BJP#1 well. There is something unusual about the BJP#1 log, namely the presence of solid volcanic sandstone at a depth of 6000-9297 ft where drilling ended. This abnormality was investigated by reanalyzing volcanic sandstone by reading the well log data which is drilling data during the exploration of the Banjarpanji-1 well by PT. Lapindo Brantas, Inc. which consists of rock logs as a result of predictions (prognosis) and facts found (actual) were then compared with the interpretation of the results of the investigation team with BP MIGAS 2006 which was then confirmed by petrographic and paleontological analysis. The unusual occurrence is the LUSI stratigraphic arrangement changes based on findings in volcanic sandstone sequences that were once considered part of the Kalibeng Formation of Plio-Pliestocene age, then changed to solid volcanic sandstone units of Middle Miocene age with a depositional environment in the outer neritic-upper bathyal.

Post-Auschwitz Dramaturgy: Toward the Later Edward Bond
Authors: Chen Chien-Cheng
Published: October 2022

Although British playwright Edward Bond is well known for his early plays during the 1960s–80s, his later works, from the late 1990s onward, have been relatively overlooked and underexplored. In this article, I aim to bridge these two phases and propose a theoretical framework to approach Bond’s evolution as a playwright. I will first examine Bond’s critical engagement with Brecht, and then I will proceed to analyse Bond’s evolving dramaturgy of the Holocaust, which will help to demonstrate how Bond has developed what we might call his post-Auschwitz dramaturgy. While criticizing Brecht’s theatre for being the “Theatre of Auschwitz,” Bond bases his post-Brechtian dramaturgy on his specific understanding of the infamous Nazi concentration camp. Bond regards Auschwitz as not only a localized historical event but also a trans-historical structure of biopolitics, manifested in both the camp and an ensuing neoliberal capitalist system. By drawing on two pivotal passages of the Palermo improvisation (which took place in 1983) and the Russian guard’s story, both of which Bond describes in “Commentary on The War Plays” (1991), I will elucidate how these examples herald a “post-Auschwitz” dramaturgical model that can be understood through Emmanuel Levinas’s ethics and Giorgio Agamben’s biopolitics. Building on this analysis, I will analyse Bond’s plays The Crime of the Twenty-First Century (1999) and Born (2006) to argue that it is the dissonance between the biopolitical paradigm exemplified in Auschwitz and the human subject’s fundamental creativity that defines Bond’s later works.
“The Point Is, You Don’t Seem to Have Learnt Anything”: Reimagining J.B. Priestley’sAn Inspector Callsas a BrechtianLehrstückfor the Middle Classes
Authors: Barnett David
Published: October 2022

This article considers the applicability of Bertolt Brecht’s most radical formal innovation, the Lehrstück or learning play, to a play that is neither written in the Brechtian tradition nor ostensibly a Lehrstück itself. J.B. Priestley’s An Inspector Calls (1944) is a popular play often considered “political” by reviewers, yet it proposes no fundamental change to the political landscape its seeks to critique. Brecht’s Lehrstück, which dissolves the boundary between actor and spectator, offers a different mode of performance that actively confronts performers with the implications of their fictional counterparts and invites reflection on how the problems presented might be addressed. The article identifies the political shortcomings of Priestley’s play and introduces Brechtian categories into the analysis and performance of the play before radicalizing these by transforming An Inspector Calls into a Lehrstück. The process the play undergoes signals the liveliness and durability of this dramaturgical form and offers an example of how Brecht can remain productive in a contemporary theatre context.

Ce texte propose une réflexion critique sur la place de l’histoire urbaine dans l’historiographie québécoise à l’heure actuelle. Il s’agit d’une réponse à l’invitation générale lancée par Richard Harris, qui observe un déclin ou du moins une certaine stagnation du champ à l’échelle canadienne. En se concentrant sur l’historiographie québécoise, cet article a pour objectif de déterminer si c’est bien le cas et, si oui, d’essayer de déterminer pourquoi il en est ainsi et ce que nous pouvons ou devons faire face à cette situation. Il ne s’agit donc pas d’un bilan des tendances récentes de la recherche, mais d’une tentative de mesurer la vitalité de ce champ de recherche et de réfléchir à ses perspectives d’avenir.

Published: October 2022

English is the main means of international communication in the field of science, which is due to a number of factors, namely the rapid development of science and modern technologies, the process of globalization, and the growth of scientific information. Accordingly, the attention of linguists to the linguistic features and characteristics of English scientific discourse is growing. Despite a fairly large amount of scientific research, some aspects of English academic communication need further clarification. The article deals with the problem of cautious language in the academic environment. The main issues discussed are the category of cautiousness in the language, the linguistic means of its realization in the scientific texts, and its pragmatical features. The results show that hedging is a necessary pragmatical component of academic writing, presented by different lexical and lexical-grammatical means. Further research is perspective due to the connection of this problem with intercultural communication, the theory of translation and teaching the English language.

The origin of the Arthurian mythos has long engrossed scholars and enthusiasts alike for centuries, and, perhaps, no character has bewildered scholars more than Morgan le Fay. Throughout the many iterations of the Arthurian legend, Morgan le Fay has been characterized in incompatible ways; as both an ally and foe to King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. In Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte Darthur, this juxtaposed characterization is fully established as he characterizes Morgan le Fay as both King Arthur's chief antagonist as well as the figure who welcomes him into Avalon at the end of the text. 

This essay serves to exam the origin of Morgan le Fay as a literary character and, by examining and understanding her influences, justify her conflciting and inconsistent portrayls in the Arthurian continuum, specifically within Malory's epic poem.
Measuring the activity of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in relation to home-based additives by measured net weight loss
Authors: Mainwaring Shaun
Published: October 2022

This research study is to measure the activity of saccharomyces cerevisiae through selected additives which have been added in the hydration step of making bread dough. The saccharomyces cerevisiae is sensitive to sugars (Mazzoleni, S. et al.2015) and by using multiple possible additives that can be found at home, we can compare which ones give a healthier yeast and therefore a better rise to the dough. As the saccharomyces cerevisiae ferments, it consumes the sugars naturally in the dough and creates an acidic environment to maintain its growth and produces CO2 as a product of this reaction, which is the cause for the rising dough. This can be tracked by how active the yeast is to its mean weight loss by measuring the weight loss of the three separate batches and comparing the results through a Multiple Comparisons of Means: Tukey Contrasts test to see if the significance to what is added to what was added to help the fermentation process of the yeast. We can see that easily soluble sugars are the best choices for promoting the health of the saccharomyces cerevisiae in by the test with F(9,20)=14.49, p<0.0001.Keywords: Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Bread, Fermentation, Glucose, Baking
