Authors: GÜRBÜZ Hüseyin , BAYRAKÇI Sinem , BAYRAKÇI Onur , ÇİÇEK Hülya
Published: January 2023

This study aimed to investigate the effect of clinical and some specific laboratory parameters on the prognosis and mortality of critically ill COVID-19 patients who need to be followed in the intensive care unit (ICU). This is a retrospective cohort study. A total of 180 patients treated in the ICU were included in the study. The data of clinical and levels of D-dimer, cardiac troponin I (cTnI), Ferritin, and CK-MB were researched. The multivariate and univariate logistic regression models were employed to investigate the risk factors affiliated with in-hospital death. There was a significant difference in mortality between women and men (p=0.002). Hypertension was the most common comorbid disease, mortality was detected to be significantly greater in patients over 65 years of age. The serum D-dimer, cTnI, CK-MB, and ferritin levels were found to be higher in patients at risk. In the multivariate logistic regression model, we detected that ferritin above 300 μg/l (p=0.05) alongside cancer was associated with mortality. This study showed that advanced age is an important risk factor as well as the mortality of patients with cancer –especially those with a ferritin value above 300 μg/l and patients with a high cTnI value.

REVEALING AND DETERMINING THE FORMS OF COMPONENTS IN THE PRODUCT OF INTERACTION OF EUROPIUM (III) FLUORIDE WITH MELT OF NaCl-KCl
Authors: Stoianova I. V. , Zinchenko V. F. , Chivireva N. O. , Doga P. G. , Volchak G. V.
Published: January 2023

As part of the study of the solubility of lanthanide fluorides in salt melts, a study of the EuF3-NaCl-KCl system (upper and bottom parts) was carried out.  This system is of particular interest due to the fact  that Europium has two oxidation states (+2 and +3),  and chloride ions are weak reducing agents. The studies were carried out by chemical and nondestructive spectroscopic methods. As for the  latter, solid-phase luminescence (SPL), diffusereflectance spectroscopy (DRS), and X‑ray diffraction phase analysis (XRD) were used. The total content of lanthanides in the upper and bottom parts of the  samples was determined spectrophotometrically and complexonometrically, respectively, and the content of Eu2+ was determined spectrophotometrically by the weakening of the KMnO4 color using redox reactions between Eu2+–V(V) and V(IV) (the content is equivalent to Eu2+) – KMnO4. The system (upper part) LaF3-NaCl-KCl was also studied (for Lanthanum the only oxidation state is +3) for the comparison.
It was shown that during the dissolution of Europium fluoride in the NaCl-KCl melt, a partial reduction of  Eu3+ to Eu2+ occurs.
The data of SFL, DRS and chemical analysis showed that Eu2+ is the dominant form of europium in the upper part of the sample, and the content of EuF2 found by the chemical method (2.54% wt.) is close to the sum of the contents of EuF3 and EuF2 found by  quantitative XRD (2,5% wt.). At the same time, the data of chemical and X‑ray diffraction phase analysis agree satisfactorily for the LaF3-NaCl-KCl sample. It has been suggested that the EuF3 phase detected by XRD could appear because of the oxidation of  europium during the storage of the sample, and, possibly, due to the effect of ionizing radiation on the system at measuring.
It has been established by spectroscopic methods that both valence forms of Europium are present in the bottom part of the sample, and the chemical analysis data (namely, the found content of fluoride ions) indicate the presence of other (except of  Europium fluorides) fluorine-containing phases in this part. To identify the anionic forms of Eu3+, we used the dependence of the position of the diffuse reflection bands in the DR spectra change of variousinorganic compounds of trivalent europium form the reduced electronic polarizability of the ligand anions. According to the position of the reflection bands in the spectrum of the studied sample, it was found that the dominant form of Eu(III) in the bottom part is EuOCl∙25EuF3.
Thus, using a combination of various physical and chemical methods, the presence of different valence and anionic forms of Europium in the EuF3-NaCl-KCl sample was shown and the dominant forms of Eu were established in the upper and bottom parts of the studied system.

The aim of this work is to analyze the influence of the structure of organic compounds on their ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier (BBB) using the  values of LogPS (logarithm of the product of permeability and surface area of metabolism, which is a measure of the transfer of compounds from the blood to the brain and reflects the degree of  penetration of the substance into the brain without relative binding to proteins). The study of the  permeability of BBB is necessary both for the development of new drugs for which the CNS is a biointerference, and for the development of effective ways of treating diseases of the brain.
MIXED-LIGAND GERMANIUM–LANTHANIDE COMPLEXES WITH 1-HYDROXYETHYLIDENEDIPHOSPHONIC ACID AND 2,2’-BIPYRIDINE
Authors: Martsinko E. E. , Seifullina I. I. , Chebanenko E. A. , Pesaroglo A. G.
Published: January 2023

There were developed the novel methods for the synthesis of six mixed- metal and mixed-ligand complexes of germanium and rare earth metals (Pr, Nd, Dy, Ho, Tm, Lu) with 1-hydroxyethylidenediphosphonic acid and 2,2´-bipyridine. The compounds have been characterized using various research methods: elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, electrical conductivity, thermogravimetry, IR spectroscopy. It has proved that all complexes are crystal hydrates, belong to heterometallic mixed ligand compounds [Ln(H2O)4(bipy)2]2 [Ge(m-hedp) (m- OH)]6⸱nH2O, Ln=Pr (1); Nd (2); Dy (3); Ho (4); Tm (5); Lu (6); n = 22 (1, 2), 21 (3), 20 (4, 5), 19 (6). Their formation occurs due to the electrostatic interaction of complex cations [Ln(H2O)4(bipy)2]3+ with hexanuclear anions [Ge(m-hedp)(m- OH)]66-.
According to the results of measuring the electrical conductivity of dimethylformamide solutions 1–6, it has been established that they belong to triionic electrolytes: λ (in Ohm-1∙сm2∙mol-1) for 1 = 131,3; 2 = 138,8; 3 = 145,8; 4 = 151,1; 5 = 158,3; 6 = 162,7. The cation-anionic type of complexes 1–6 has been confirmed as a result of the analysis of their mass spectrum. The analysis of the mass spectrum showed that the main decomposition direction of the complex is related to the formation of the complex cation fragment [Ln(H2O)4(bipy)2]3+, which corresponds to the most intense peak (m/z = 136, I = 55%).
The thermal decomposition of compounds 1–6 includes dehydration, deaquatation, oxidative thermal destruction and the formation of final products as a mixture of Ln2O3 and GeP2O7. On the DTA curves in the interval 70–200 °C the first endothermic effect can be traced, which is accompanied by the removal of a certain number of crystallization and coordination water molecules into the gas phase.
Absorption bands of the P-O bond have been detected at ~1053 and ~970 сm-1, that indicates the presence of the fully deprotonated PO32- groups in the composition of complexes. Furthermore, n(OH), ν(Ge–O), d(Ge–OH) bands characteristic for all the previously synthesized compounds with [Ge6(m-OH)6(m-hedp)6]6- anion have been detected in the IR spectra of 1–6. A set of the bands usual for the aromatic molecules n(C–C), das(CH3), ds(CH3), n(Сar=N) has been assigned with 2,2`-bipyridine in the structure of all compounds.
CONNOTATIVE PROPER NAMES AS AFFECTONYMS IN THE SPEECH OF FRANCOPHONES
Authors: Bozhko I. , Kalinichenko A. , Sakhno I.
Published: January 2023

The article is devoted to connotative proper names-affectonyms, which are proper names of people / characters of artistic reality, used in a figurative sense as synonyms for the name of the addressee of the speech (rarely the third person). The research was implemented on the basis of questionnaires and analysis of social media texts. The purpose of the research is to analyze the semantics of connotative proper names used as affectonyms, to demonstrate their (in)dependence on the cultural preferences of generations, to find out the motivation of such naming. In the course of the study, it was found that proper names-affectonyms, regardless of the origin of the primary signified (a real proper name or a literary proper name), are metaphors: mostly positive features of the primary signified are transferred to the addressee of speech. Despite the fact that a certain part of proper names-affectonyms remains unchanged over time (usually we are talking about well-known connotative proper names such as Roméo, Juliette, Don Juan), this is a rather dynamic group of names that reflects the interests and cultural demands of society. However, there are general models of metaphorical transfer, the semantics of such names, which are meant to refer to the ideas of strength, beauty, intelligence, power, and the romanticism of fictitious or real personalities. So, instead of mon Alain Delon, mon petit Timothée Chalamet is used, instead of Einstein — mon Steve Jobs — both in an approving and ironic sense. In certain cases, affectonyms of this kind are formed through metonymy — according to the sphere of interests of the addressee of the speech. Sometimes the phonic structure of the affective names plays a role. Through reduplication or the use of diminutive suffixes in the name, diminutive effect is created. In the context of the use of proper names-affectonyms, we note the presence of a language play, which is manifested both in the modification of the primary proper name and in playing with logical connections between concepts.
THE COMMUNICATIVE MEANS OF MANIPULATING A SUSPECT USED BY A WOMAN-DETECTIVE
Authors: Kosovets M. V.
Published: January 2023

The article is devoted to the analysis of the communicative strategy of manipulation and communicative tactics, that manifest it. The research of communicative strategies and tactics instills the respect of wealthy domestic and foreign linguists. The topicality of the study of strategies and tactics is motivated by the various points of view on this issue which results in the ambiguity of the explanation. The article is an attempt to trace the mechanism of manipulation, applied by a woman-detective during the investigation. The analysis is based on the data from English detective novels. The object of the study is the characters’ speech: the woman detective’s interrogation of witnesses and suspects. The scope of the study is the communicative tactics applied by the woman detective to manipulate witnesses and suspects. The purpose is cognitive and pragmatic analysis of the communicative tactics applied by the female detective to manipulate the witnesses and suspects. The investigation is based on the general and special linguistic methods: synthesis and analysis, method of observation, descriptive method, pragmatic and linguistic method, cognitive method, analysis of contextual interpretation. The main results of the study. As a result of the carried out research, we can claim that one of the communicative strategies used by the female detective is the strategy of manipulation. It is explained by communicative tactics of provocation, warning, threats, blackmail, flattery, as well as tactics of false self-presentation. Each of these tactics is marked by certain lexical, syntactic and stylistic means of speech. The ability to control the communicative process and adjust one’s speech actions at individual stages of the dialogue can be considered key to achieving the communicative goal of a female detective. The prospect of further research is a versatile study of linguistic mechanisms of exerting a manipulative influence on the recipient in artistic discourse. The perspective for further research is seen in identifying prosodic means of manipulative impact on the recipient in film discourse.
MEANS OF EXPRESSING EPISTEMIC MODALITY IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE
Authors: Maslova S. Y.
Published: January 2023

The article is devoted to the analysis of the nomenclature of means of expressing epistemic modality in the English language. At the functional-semantic level, the semantics of epistemic assessment is reflected in the values of units of the morphological, lexical, and syntactic levels of language, capable of performing the following semantic functions at the level of utterance: the degree of confidence of the speaker, the degree of validity of judgment, subjectivity, and unreality. Since the combined common function of all means of expressing epistemic evaluation is to reflect the speaker’s incomplete epistemic commitment based on his insufficient epistemic guarantees, the degree of confidence and the degree of justification act as the basic semantic functions of epistemic evaluation. The first reflects the epistemic commitment that the speaker accepts, and the second — his epistemic guarantees. Depending on the quality of epistemic guarantees, the validity can be high, medium, low, or actually absent in the semantics of the indicator. Validity is related to the speaker’s knowledge about the situation and, in particular, the degree of validity directly depends on the source of information about the situation. Modal values of morphological indicators of epistemic evaluation include epistemic necessity and epistemic possibility and reflect the degree of invalidity of the proposition from the point of view of the speaker. In evaluative statements, epistemic necessity and epistemic possibility are reinterpreted as evaluative values of certainty and uncertainty, respectively; that is, the modal component of the value of such indicators is preserved, but at the communicative and pragmatic level, their modal value comes to the fore, reflecting the degree of confidence of the speaker.
SEMANTIC WAYS OF FORMING TOURISM TERMS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE
Authors: Ruda A. V.
Published: January 2023

This study is devoted to the etymological analysis of English tourism terms, namely, the semantic ways of forming the specified lexical units. The tourism industry and its terminological system are a relevant object of research in the conditions of the modern globalized world. The work uses etymological analysis as the main research method. Intralingual borrowing accompanied by terminologicalization, specialization, expansion, metaphorization of the commonly used meaning of a word, metonymic transfer of the meaning of a commonly used word can be considered a lexical-semantic way of term formation. A special group among monosyllabic terms is made up of terms whose scope of meaning in the special vocabulary is similar to the scope of their meanings in common language. These are terms formed by terminologicalizing the commonly used meaning of the word. The development of the meaning of such special lexemes took place gradually, as the language was enriched with experience and formed scientific concepts. Tourism terms, which were formed on the basis of semantic shifts, which gave rise to a significant discrepancy between their old meanings and the new concepts that they began to name, arose on the basis of the expansion of the meaning of existing words in the language. In tourism terminology, a small group of simple special units, which were formed by metaphorizing the meaning of a commonly used word, is quite clearly presented. Metaphorization of the meaning of commonly used words usually takes place first taking into account the external similarity, and later — taking into account the similarity of the functions of the so-called objects. A certain number of terms is formed by means of narrowing, specialization of the meaning, which may be evidence that the corresponding terminology begins to stand out from the everyday language and is perceived as a special layer of vocabulary.
LINGUOCULTURAL ASPECT OF THE ENGLISH CONCEPT AGE
Authors: Shapoval A. S.
Published: January 2023

The article is devoted to the analysis of the linguistic and cultural aspect of the verbalization of the English concept AGE. Among the directions of modern linguistic and cultural studies, there is a phraseologically oriented one, which studies the culturally marked content of phraseological units of various languages, and a lexicographic one, which has an applied focus on compiling various dictionaries that carry cultural information. Our research is carried out within the first direction and is based on the analysis of English phraseological units with the age component. The purpose of our study is to analyze the linguistic and cultural aspect of the English concept AGE. The analysis of the phraseological sample showed that the evaluative color has mainly units that verbalize youth and old age, creating a kind of opposition between these age periods of life. The age period of youth is represented in the studied phraseology by the lexemes young, baby, children. Recorded idioms that contain the mentioned lexemes actualize, first of all, such signs as inexperience, ignorance, which, in our opinion, have a somewhat negative connotation. A positive connotation is recorded when the signs of innocence and freshness of young people’s views are actualized. The inexperience and ignorance of the young is contrasted with the life experience and wisdom of the older generation. However, along with a positive assessment of the experience and wisdom of the older generation, there are also idioms containing a contemptuous and ironic attitude towards its representatives, which is motivated by the inability to change, grumbling character, etc. Thus, the linguistic and cultural analysis of the verbalization of the researched concept in English on the basis of phraseological turns showed that for the English-speaking culture it is stereotypical to oppose two age periods — youth and old age, and both of them have features that have positive and negative assessments of speakers.
The Ideal and the Actual in Procedural Due Process
Authors: Spaulding Barbara Allen , Babcock Toni
Published: January 2023

This chapter interrogates the chasm between the abstract, Supreme Court–centric version of due process that is taught in law schools and tested on the bar exam, and the real world of due process as experienced by most ordinary people. It highlights fundamental miscarriages of justice in three different areas where ordinary people encounter the civil justice system. First, it argues that, in state courts, default judgments are routinely entered against unrepresented debtors. Second, this chapter highlights the bias and expense that defeat litigants forced into mandatory arbitration. Finally, it critiques administrative agency adjudication as rife with delay and bias in favor of agencies. The authors call for an unflinching reevaluation of the concept—and the reality—of due process.
Introduction
Authors: Reczek Rin , Bosley-Smith Emma
Published: January 2023

The introduction details the book’s overall argument, introduces key concepts (e.g., compulsory kinship, conflict work), describes the study sample and methods, and provides a book overview. It orients the reader to the goal of this book, which is to reveal exactly why and how LGBTQ adults and their parents stay in their relationships, even when those relationships are conflictual and rejecting. The introduction also directs the reader to the methodological appendix for further information about the sample and study design.
The Kin Closet
Authors: Reczek Rin , Bosley-Smith Emma
Published: January 2023

This chapter shows the first way that LGBTQ people do conflict work to stay in the family: avoiding rejection and conflict by never coming out of the closet at all. The chapter describes three types of closets used as conflict work to keep the family bonded—dad’s closet, the trans-itional closet, and the bisexual closet. LGBTQ adults in the study maneuvered within and around the closet to keep the peace in the family, especially when dads are involved. Instead of the closet being (only) a repressive site that one should get out of, the closet was often seen as a necessity to keep peace in the family—a central tool LGBTQ adults use to stay in their families. Amid continued stigma of queerness in the United States, and the Midwest more specifically, the closet privileges the solidarity of the family over the individual self. And while being in the closet may indeed be oppressive, it can also be the only recourse for managing these ties in a homophobic—and in the case of this chapter especially transphobic and biphobic—environment. The closet is used primarily by the white interviewees.
Becoming Normal
Authors: Reczek Rin , Bosley-Smith Emma
Published: January 2023

Chapter 8 describes how some LGBTQ adults deploy the normative and desirable statuses of married (with children) to get their parents to accept them. However, this type of conflict work is only accessible for white gay and lesbian cis people, reflecting deep inequalities that permeate social life. While the white cis gay and lesbian people in this chapter gain parental acceptance by becoming normal, this normalization works to further marginalize those who sit outside of these privileged statuses, especially for gender-expansive people of color, in terms of both family acceptance and broader liberation in society.
Introduction
Authors: Davidson Michael
Published: January 2023

The introduction develops implications of the title’s double entendre: language that is distressed, ruptured, or worn and language whose usage distresses, worries, or challenges. By distressing or cripping ideas of normal embodiment, disabled artists challenge the stability of what organizes ideals of successful social identity. Errors often reveal the truths they displace, and artists who incorporate errors into their work illustrate the instability of generic classifications and aesthetic categories. The introduction’s several sections consider the intellectual underpinnings of a poetics of error: the gains and limitations of seeing through a deaf optic; the distribution of voice across and among multiple agents and technologies; poetry that deploys misspeaking, mishearing and misunderstanding as a component of the work; the contribution of sound studies to deaf studies.
Siting Sound
Authors: Davidson Michael
Published: January 2023

The drawings and sound installations of Christine Sun Kim make visible and tactile sounds that as a deaf person from birth she cannot hear but that enable her listeners to hear through a deaf optic. As such, her work not only distributes senses but also redistributes cultural values associated with sound and voice, challenging the idea that d/Deaf culture and the world of deaf persons is silent and that sound is necessarily an acoustic phenomenon. Her work also calls into question the strictly textual and auditory models of poetry by blurring boundaries between sound and silence, deaf and hearing, visual art and poetics. In discussing the issue of “siting” sound, I refer to the more recent photographic work of Christian Marclay, in which he foregrounds the image of sound as represented in several forms of vernacular visual media.
“Tongue-tied and / muscle / bound”
Authors: Davidson Michael
Published: January 2023

Extending remarks about misspeaking, chapter 4 turns to the work of the poet Larry Eigner, whose speech was distorted due to cerebral palsy. The chapter first studies the various meanings of “disability poetry,” whether it refers to a component of the poem itself or the physical or cognitive condition of the poet. What characterizes Eigner’s poetry is the phenomenological experience of watching, observing, and commenting on what he sees and hears from a restricted perspective. His radical innovations in spacing, condensation, and parataxis are often a function of physiological difficulties in typing and speaking. As a consequence, his work raises questions about temporality and the variable durations imposed by disability on the artistic process. He registers what Denise Riley calls “inner speech” or the voice and voices that continue to run in the mind unedited.
The Outer Border
Authors: Chouliaraki Lilie , Georgiou Myria
Published: January 2023

This chapter sets out an account of the digital border as it emerged at a busy crossing-point in Europe’s outer frontiers, the Greek island of Chios at the peak of the so-called “migration crisis”. Drawing on research with a range of actors of reception—from the military to humanitarian organizations but also local activists—we highlight the key parameters of the regime of humanitarian securitization. Humanitarian securitization, this chapter demonstrates, is performed at sites of migrant arrivals as a fluid regime of migration’s governmentality and involves a range of actors and technologies. At its core is the precarious balance between a humanitarian benevolence towards those in need and a securitized fear towards these same newly arriving migrants considered as threats.
Conclusion
Authors: Chouliaraki Lilie , Georgiou Myria
Published: January 2023

Our response to Achille Mbembe’s question of what the global North can do with those who “have no claim on the earth,” we conclude, cannot be a singular one. Migrants are encamped, deported, “othered” and marginalized, or, when actively participating in established communities, often fitted within a specific template of success that privileges economic value over other kinds of value, Yet, at the same time, as active narrators of their stories on social media and as participants on networked commons that make claims to the city and its resources, migrants regularly contest their exclusion or containment within binaries and open up their own space for creativity and agency beyond the structures of security and the market. While migrants’ civic status, then, depends on whether they hold legal rights as residents or as successful asylum seekers, the question of rights and recognition is, in fact, more complex than this. We urge for a transformation, where “crisis” is challenged and replaced by a new normative vision that recasts migration within an imaginary of human rights that values dignity, recognition, and freedom for migrants.

Pulmonary and cardiac involvement in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis
Authors: TEKELİ Ahmet Hüsrev
Published: January 2023

Objectives: Our aim is to study the disease activity status, laboratory data and to determine the frequency of cardiac and pulmonary findings in patients with Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS).
Methods: Forty-five AS patients and 78 RA patients took part in the study. The C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), albumin, creatinine, ALT, leukocyte, neutrophil ratio, hemoglobin, platelet, rheumatoid factor (RF), and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) levels were measured. In addition, the patients' thoracic computed tomography, high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT), echocardiography (ECHO), and pulmonary function test (PFT) results were evaluated. Disease activity was assessed with the Disease Activity Score-28 (DAS-28) in RA patients, whereas the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) was used in patients with AS.
Results: The relationship between the anti-CCP value and gender was significant in RA patients. Significant differences were present between gender and hemoglobin value in RA and AS patients, whereas no significant differences were determined between CRP, ESR, platelet, and DAS-28 values. There was a significant difference between RF and ESR values in RA patients, whereas no significant difference was present between CRP, leukocyte, DAS-28, hemoglobin, and platelet values. Pulmonary involvement was determined in 35.7% of RA patients and 4.2% of AS patients. The difference between these was statistically significant.
Conclusions: The most common pulmonary involvement is millimetric nonspecific nodule and the most common lesion among ECHO findings was left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in RA and AS patients. In RA, no significant difference was determined between PFT and DAS-28 results, as a result, the disease activity will not directly indicate pulmonary involvement.
Oscillations in Dynamic Systems with an Entropy Operator
Authors:   Federal Research Center “Computer Science and Control” of Russian Academy of Sciences, Popkov Y. S.
Published: January 2023

This paper considers dynamic systems with an entropy operator described by a perturbed constrained optimization problem. Oscillatory processes are studied for periodic systems with the following property: the entire system has the same period as the process generated by its linear part. Existence and uniqueness conditions are established for such oscillatory processes, and a method is developed to determine their form and parameters. Also, the general case of noncoincident periods is analyzed, and a method is proposed to determine the form, parameters, and the period of such oscillations. Almost periodic processes are investigated, and existence and uniqueness conditions are proved for them as well.

Tixagevimab/cilgavimab (TIX/CIL), a combination of two Fc-modified human monoclonal antibodies, has been recently approved to be employed as early treatment. Methods: Two groups of immunocompromised patients exposed to different early treatments (i.e., TIX/CIL vs. other mAbs [casirivimab/imdevimab, bamlanivimab/etesevimab, sotrovimab]) were compared in terms of clinical outcomes (hospitalization and mortality within 14 days from administration) and time to the negativity of nasal swabs. We used either Pearson’s chi-square or Fisher’s exact test for categorical variables, whereas the Wilcoxon rank–sum test was employed for continuous ones. Kaplan–Meier curves were produced to compare the time to nasopharyngeal swab negativity. Results: Early treatment with TIX/CIL was administered to 19 immunocompromised patients, while 89 patients received other mAbs. Most of them were solid organ transplant recipients or suffering from hematologic or solid malignancies. Overall, no significant difference was observed between the two groups in terms of clinical outcomes. In the TIX/CIL group, one patient (1/19, 5.3%), who was admitted to the emergency room within the first 14 days from treatment and was hospitalised due to COVID-19 progression, died. Regarding the time to nasal swab negativity, no significant difference (p=0.088) emerged. Conclusions: Early treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection with TIX/CIL shows favourable outcomes in a small group of immunocompromised patients, reporting no significant difference when compared to similar patients treated with other mAbs.

This paper aims to understand the behavioral tendencies of Muslim micro, small and medium entrepreneurs (MSMEs) in Kudus, on the dimensions of religion, spirituality and business activities. The research method used is field research with a qualitative approach, by conducting interviews and observations of the research object. Structured interviews were conducted with 17 informants, taking into account religion, business cluster and business location. The results of the study indicate that the tendency of business behavior of Muslim entrepreneurs is influenced by several factors, one of which is spiritual and religious factors. However, not all of this business behavior is motivated by spiritual and religious factors. Although, in general, economic factors are often the motivation for business behavior.
How Long Can Macroeconomic Variables Affect the Islamic Index in Indonesia?
Authors: Jufri Achmad , Sakinah Sakinah
Published: January 2023

This study aimed to examine the effect of macroeconomic variables' lags on Indonesia's Islamic index. The influence of lag can determine how long macroeconomic variables affect the Islamic index. The macroeconomic variables observed for their impact on the Islamic index are inflation, industrial production index, interest rates, exchange rates, gold prices, money supply, and world oil prices from May 2011 to December 2021. The approach used is the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model. The results show that the lags of macroeconomic variables influence the sharia index. The time it takes to affect the stock varies. Inflation, gold prices, and the money supply need a minimum of 1 month to affect stock prices. Industrial production indices and exchange rates have a high-speed ability to influence stock price movements at that time. Interest rates and world oil prices take at least three months to affect stock prices.
Early Permian Adakites of the Nora–Sukhotino Terrane in the East of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt: Geochronological (U–Pb, LA-ICP-MS) and Geochemical Data
Authors: Smirnov Yu.V. , Khubanov V.B.
Published: January 2023

––We present results of geochemical and geochronological (U–Pb, LA-ICP-MS) studies of plagiogranites of the Mt. Zmeinaya massif in the Nora–Sukhotino terrane. The studied rocks are of calc-alkaline series and peraluminous type. They formed in collision settings at the final stage of evolution of the Nora–Sukhotino terrane. The high Sr/Y ratios and low Y and Yb contents of the plagiogranites indicate that these are adakitic rocks. The trace element composition of the rocks suggests their high-pressure (>15 kbar) genesis through the melting of metabasites. The youngest zircon population from the plagiogranite has a weighted average concordant age of 295 ± 4 Ma, which corresponds to the early Permian. With regard to the zircon morphology, the obtained age can be considered the age of the plagiogranites.
The Universal Dimensions of Mysticism
Authors:   Institute of Social Sciences and International Relations, Sevastopol State University, Zhirtueva Natalia S.
Published: January 2023

In the article mysticism is considered as a multidimensional phenomenon in the unity of four dimensions that make up its universal beginning. The onto­logical dimension of mysticism forms a world picture in which the world is re­garded as the Whole and One. Mystical experience is always an experience of unity, as a result of which social and biological time slows down, space loses its multidimensionality and hierarchy. The epistemological dimension of mysti­cism presupposes the development of an irrational mystical and intuitive cogni­tion that forms an integral picture of the world and overcomes the subjective and objective attitude to it. An enlightening consciousness and the experience of mystic light are the results. The anthropological (psychological) dimension of mysticism means overcoming self-centered consciousness through a series of psycho-prac­tices which is dangerous outside the mystical context. Mystical experience develops higher needs, feeling of love, compassion, joy, gratitude. There is a change in the existential state of man. The social and historical dimension characterizes mysticism as a phenomenon that was developed from an ascetic form to an integration one, balancing between “moving away from the world” and “returning to the world”. It possesses powerful resources of influence on so­ciety and at the present stage should affirm the significance of both the transcen­dental and material worlds, help humanity understand their close relationship and the danger of their opposition. Each dimension of mysticism must be consid­ered in close connection with modern scientific picture of the world.
Ontological Cybernetics as an Integrator of Organizational Systems in Hybrid Reality Environments
Authors:   World Organisation of Systems and Cybernetics, Syncho Research, Espejo Raul , Lepskiy Vladimir ,   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: January 2023

Our purpose in this paper is to clarify ontological approaches to the development of cybernetics based on epistemological and methodological propositions grounded in the concepts of scientific classical, non-classical, post-non-classical rationality – as proposed by V.S. Stepin (2005). We need to increase our under­standing of the subject-oriented approach to the analysis of cybernetic interac­tions: “subject – object” in first-order cybernetics, “subject – subject” in second-order cybernetics and “subject – metasubject” in the cybernetics of self-develop­ing reflexive-active environments, third-order cybernetics. The ideas of three or­ders of cybernetics, first, second and third have the potential of integrating a strong ontological approach to the social sciences. For this integration we pro­pose Beer’s Viable System Model (VSM), Espejo’s Viplan Methodology and Lepskiy’s self-developing reflexive-active environments. This ontological cyber­netics corresponds to the development of the philosophical and methodological foundations of cybernetics and systems towards subject-oriented approaches, grounded on Ashby’s Law of Requisite Variety. We expect them to contribute to achieving adequate responses to the challenges of the 21st century at all struc­tural levels. They should be focused on adequate performance to achieve desir­able outcomes for sustainability and viability on the grounds of socio-humanitar­ian innovative criteria, using today’s digital technologies, converging with the increasingly powerful ontologies of artificial intelligence. We are offering on­tologies for organizing hybrid reality environments. Our aim through this paper is creating new ontologies adequate to the effective use of digital technologies and artificial intelligence to improve the control and communication mechanisms of social systems.
The Axiology of Technology – on the Way to the Human Dimension of Complex Technical Systems
Authors:   National Research Nuclear University MEPhI, Malakhova Elena V. ,   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: January 2023

The article considers the axiology of technology as a promising direction of the philosophy of science – the direction that is able to form a new vector of re­search in the field of complex human-sized systems generated by modern technogenic civilization. The consideration of these systems was started in the­works of V.S. Stepin and continued by V.E. Lepskiy and V.I. Arshinov, who connected this problem with the concept of subjectness. The human dimension of technical systems is understood as their conformity to the values of humans and society as individual and collective subjects. The author makes an assump­tion that this kind of conformity is possible only when technical systems reach a level of complexity that will allow them to be included in the scheme of rela­tions of subjects. Modern technical systems based on artificial intelligence are able to demonstrate a resemblance of some of the properties of subjectness, which makes it possible to regard them as pseudo-subjects and include them in subjects’ relations. This work suggests a way to further develop a subject-ori­ented approach based on post-non-classical scientific rationality through the crea­tion of a three-part scheme of the following types of subjects of value relations: human as an individual subject, society as a collective subject, complex techni­cal systems based on artificial intelligence as a pseudo-subject. Each type of subjects corresponds to its own level of value attitude, which consists in di­rect dependence on whether the subject appears to be the ultimate reality or de­pends in its existence on another subject. The presence of a direct relationship between these levels ensures the human dimension of complex technical sys­tems by including them in a holistic scheme of value-colored interaction of sub­jects. The article also points out the danger of anthropomorphization of pseudo-subjects.
The Zinoviev Phenomenon. Notes and Memoirs on the Personality of the Philosopher
Authors:   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences, Guseynov Abdusalam A.
Published: January 2023

The article was written in connection with the centenary of our outstanding con­temporary Russian philosopher Alexander Zinoviev. The author, relying on the en­tire corpus of Zinoviev’s own works, considered with special emphasis on their autobiographical content, on studies of his life and work, and also partly using his personal memories, aims to understand the phenomenon of Zinoviev. The life for­mula expressed by his hero himself is taken as a basis: “I am a sovereign state of one person”. The article shows that the accentuated individualism of this state­ment is in fact an expression of personal sociality and a deep connection with the life of one’s country and era. This is not about the originality of Zinoviev’s per­sonality, but about its uniqueness, which expresses and at the same time affirms the uniqueness of the society, country and era that fell to his lot. Parallels are also drawn between Zinoviev’s sociology and his psychology and ethics.
