Published: May 2023

Hydrophobic molecules are by definition difficult to hydrate. Previous studies in the area of hydrophobic hydration have therefore often relied on using amphiphilic molecules where the hydrophilic part of a molecule enabled the solubility in liquid water. Here we show that the hydrophobic adamantane (C10H16) molecule can be fully hydrated through vapour codeposition with water onto a cryogenic substrate at 80 K resulting in the matrix isolation of adamantane in amorphous ice. Using neutron diffraction in combination with the isotopic substitution method and the empirical potential structure refinement technique, we find that the first hydration shell of adamantane is well structured consisting of a hydrogen-bonded cage of 28 water molecules that is also found in cubic structure II clathrate hydrates. The four hexagonal faces of the 51264 cage are situated above the four methine (CH) groups of adamantane whereas the methylene (CH2) groups are positioned below the edges of two adjoining pentagonal faces. The oxygen atoms of the 28 water molecules can be categorised on the basis of symmetry equivalences as twelve A, twelve B and four C oxygens. The water molecules of the first hydration shell display orientations consistent with those expected for a clathrate-hydrate-type cage, but also unfavourable ones with respect to the hydrogen bonding between the water molecules. Annealing the samples at 140 K, which is just below the crystallisation temperature of the matrix, removes the unfavourable orientations and leads to a slight increase of the structural order of the first hydration shell. The very closest water molecules display a tendency for their dipole moments to point towards the adamantane which is attributed to steric effects. Other than this, no significant polarisation effects are observed which is consistent with weak interactions between adamantane and the amorphous ice matrix. FT-IR spectroscopy shows that the incorporation of adamantane into amorphous ice leads to a weakening of the hydrogen bonds. In summary, the matrix-isolation of the highly symmetric adamantane in amorphous ice provides an interesting test case for hydrophobic hydration. Studying the structure and spectroscopic properties of water at the interface with hydrophobic hydrocarbons is also relevant for astrophysical environments, such as comets or the interstellar medium, where amorphous ice and hydrocarbons have been shown to coexist in large quantities.

Cholesterol plays a crucial role in biomembranes by regulating various properties such as fluidity, rigidity, permeability, and organization of lipid bilayers. The latest version of the Martini model, Martini 3, offers significant improvements in interaction balance, molecular packing, and the inclusion of new bead types and sizes. However, the release of the new model resulted in the need to re-parameterize many core molecules, including cholesterol. Here, we describe the development and validation of a Martini 3 cholesterol model, addressing issues related to its bonded setup, shape, volume and hydrophobicity. The proposed model mitigates some limitations of its Martini 2 predecessor while maintaining or improving overall behavior.

ON THE ASSESSMENT OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF RURAL AREAS ON THE BASIS OF LIVING STANDARDS
Authors:   Timirâzevskaâ selʹskohozâjstvennaâ akademiâ, KOSTYUKOVA E.I.
Published: May 2023

Modern socioeconomic processes of rural development make it necessary to look at the problems of the agrarian sector of the economy from a new angle. The growing differences in rural areas in terms of social and economic development reduce the efficiency of the spatial organization of Russia’s economy, affect food security and form an environment of focal and fragmented development in traditionally agrarian regions. The spatial structure of Russia’s economy includes both depressive rural areas and quite successful ones showing stable economic growth. This largely depends on the density of the population, the development of social, engineering and transport infrastructure in rural areas, and the differentiation and sustainability of the regional economy. In order to make effective management decisions, the regional and municipal management system needs to develop a methodology for assessing the socioeconomic development of rural areas based on the quality of living standards. This requires the development of appropriate management tools, which makes the results of our research, tested on the example of the village of Vodorazdel in the Stavropol Territory, very relevant. The practical significance of the results of the study lies in the possibility of their use by state executive authorities and local governments in order to improve agricultural policy and rural development.

SPECIES COMPOSITION OF THRIPS (INSECTA: THYSANOPTERA) ON SELECTION CROPS OF SPRING WHEAT IN THE RUSSIAN STATE AGRARIAN UNIVESITY - MOSCOW TIMIRYAZEV AGRICULTURALACADEMY
Authors:   Timirâzevskaâ selʹskohozâjstvennaâ akademiâ, KARRUM R.
Published: May 2023

Cereal thrips are ubiquitous, widespread and strong pests of grain crops. Imago and larvae of thrips can damage leaves, ears, flowers and grains by injecting and sucking plant juices. Thrips reduce not only the weight but also the sowing qualities of grain, posing a threat to breeding and seed crops. Cereal thrips are a systematically and biologically diverse group of species that are diffi-cult to diagnose and study. Morphological diagnosis of thrips is carried out according to the adult phase; diagnosis of larvae of closely related species requires the use of molecular genetic methods. The wheat thrips are usually the main focus; other species are less known. In the experimental crops in Russian State Agrarian University – Moscow Timiryazev Agricultural Academy, cereal thrips are one of the main pests. In 2020, on spring wheat, their share in the number of insect collections by mowing with a net reached 14 in 2022, it reached 29%. However, the species composition of thrips has not been previously studied here. In the genetic collection of spring wheat (45 varieties) and the collection of endemic wheat (18 varieties) of the breeding experimental station of the Russian State Agrarian University – Moscow Timiryazev Agricultural Academy, censuses and diagnostics of the species composition of thrips were carried out. A total of 993 adults of thrips were analyzed and micro preparations were made. Seven species of herbivorous and one species of predatory thrips were identified. The species composition is dominated by three species of cereal thrips: Haplothrips aculeatus, Haplothrips tritici, and Frankliniella tenuicornis. The rarest among them is the rye thrips Limothrips denticornis. Some differences between thrips species are noted in terms of appearance on crops and the period of the main damage. For the most widespread, closely related and outwardly similar species, the main diagnostic features are indicated.

Published: May 2023

The results of longterm field experiments on two types of soils (chernozem and kastano-zems) are presented. The indicators of average seed productivity of more than 50 species of weeds growing in these soils are presented. The duration of the viability of seeds planted in a 0–30 cm soil layer, the quality of seeds during their layer-by-layer placement in the soil, on its surface and during storage in a dry warehouse is indicated. It was revealed that early spring and wintering weeds in chernozem soils had the highest seed productivity (more than 50 thousand seeds per plant). It was established that these seeds remained viable in the soil from 3 to 6 years (23 species), more than 6 years (20 species), and less than 3 years (only 3 species). In kastanozems soils, the seed productivity of most weeds decreased by 11–26% compared to chernozems. The loss of seed viability occurred more intensively in kastanozems soils than in chernozem soils. It was established that the lowest viability of seeds on both types of soils was observed during their longterm stay on the soil surface: after 5 years it did not exceed 12–15%, and after 10 years – 2–3%, while in the 0–10 cm layer of chernozem soils, it reached 36 and 18%, respectively, and in kastanozems soils it decreased more strongly and did not exceed 26 and 10%. In the lower soil layers, 10–20 and 20–30 cm, higher viability of weed seeds remained in kastanozems soils.

The experimental hybrids that form the highest yield of starch per unit area were identified: HLG 182 / RCK 7 (3,12-3,58 t/ha), UV 106 / RSK 7 (2,77-3,11), X 46 / B 293 (3,22-3,39), Om 12 / B 293 (2,72-3,85 t/ha).
MADHHABS IN THE ISLAMIC LAW. COMPARATIVE LEGAL ANALYSIS
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Antonov Boris A.
Published: May 2023

The author undertakes an attempt to conduct a comparative legal analysis of four Sunni madhhabs which are traditionally in practice in most Islamic states. The occurrence in early Islam of legal doctrines that later became the basis for the development of madhhabs was generated by the need to adapt the main propositions presented in Quran and Sunna to the new historical, socio-economic and political conditions that existed in the Muslim world by the end of the 7th century. The need to resolve issues of Muslim law (fiqh) at the same time demanded to apply the additional sources (hadiths) and to develop special methodology of working with them. Most hadiths were interpreted by the Sunni differently what became an additional reason for creating systematic doctrines that, while distributing and canonizing the Sunni fiqh, were called madhhabs. In the modern world, madhhabs keep playing a considerable role not only in the Islamic law but also in the everyday life of the ummah: mistakes made by ordinary Muslims (who are not aware of the correct interpretation of the Quran or Sunna) while construing this or that hadith or ayat are fraught with both, violating the rules of behavior and serious religious conflicts. And finally, it is by means of madhhabs that the fiqh principles mould the Islamic law into a coherent legal system.
TYPES OF SHARES AND THEIR LEGAL REGIME IN FOREIGN LEGISLATION
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Sakharova Yuliya V.
Published: May 2023

Shares in foreign law differ in the variability of the rights they secure. In the global corporate practice, exceptions to the “one share – one vote” rule are possible for ordinary shares, models of disproportionate granting of rights on shares are possible as well. Various world legal systems have developed their own approaches to the construction of the legal regime of shares. The regime of shares is different in the law of the states of the Anglo-Saxon system and in the continental law of Europe, as well as other countries that have taken any one of those systems of law as a basis. Foreign legal systems are characterized by liberal and dispositive regulation of the legal regime of shares, especially the differentiation of rights by shares. In comparison with Russian legislation, shares in foreign legal systems are characterized by greater variability in the content and scope of the rights assigned, as well as a greater degree of dispositivity in choosing which shares, with what volume of rights, a joint-stock company can issue. For investors, that aspect has a positive value and provides flexibility of participation and legal regulation of joint-stock legal relations in corporations. Various types of preferred shares in foreign legal systems (fixed-dividend shares, protected shares, redemption shares, savings shares) provide shareholders with more guarantees for receiving dividend income than in Russian corporate law.

Tourism is a recreational activity carried out with the intention of breaking away from the daily routine for a while. The tourist village is a combination of natural attractions, culture and creativity of the local community, supported by facilities that can attract tourists to visit the place. Prabu Village is one of the tourist destinations in Pujut District, Central Lombok. Even though it has advantages in natural beauty, unfortunately Prabu Village is still lacking in management and public awareness of the importance of existing tourism potential. Therefore, Unram Thematic KKN participants carried out community service in Prabu village with the theme 'Tourism and the Environment'. The purpose of this service is to introduce the tourism potentials in Prabu Village to the wider community. One of the programs carried out was by making a promotional video for Prabu Village which explained all the potential that the village had. Videos that have been made are then published on various social media (Youtube, Instagram, etc.), websites, and video platforms. With an effective promotional video, Prabu Tourism Village is expected to become an attractive tourist destination for both local and international tourists.

An innovative learner’s paremiological dictionary: a linguoculturological source
Authors: Nikitina T. G. , Rogaleva E. I.
Published: May 2023

The need to improve the linguoculturological interpretation of Russian proverbs and sayings in learners’ dictionaries determines the relevance of this study. Considering proverbs as signs of language and culture implies not only their cultural and historical commentary which modern lexicographers developing the ideas of paremiography classics successfully write. Also, it should reflect the functioning of proverbs (paroemias) in the modern sociocultural context. This involves providing live speech samples of native speakers, including peers of readers (i. e. schoolchildren and students) who use and interpret proverbs. The study aims to develop a concept of an innovative learner’s dictionary increasing the quantity of linguoculturological information. The data such a lexicographic resource offers to readers ought to be based on the characterisation of the origin and modern functioning of paroemias. To achieve this goal, a discursive approach was used in lexicographic modelling, which enabled us to expand the illustrative examples in dictionary entries to voluminous narrative or popular science texts. Such examples give comprehensive historical and etymological information as well as modern speech meanings of paroemias. These meanings are expressed in materials covering topics relevant to young people in educational, social, and leisure communicative space. The paremiological material which became the object of the dictionary description was selected with consideration to its cultural and communicative significance. We used linguoculturological and historical-etymological analysis to study paremiological data. The paper interprets the obtained results using the method of linguoculturological commenting. Implementing the developed lexicographic concept  in four innovative discursive dictionaries is the research and practical outcomes of the study. Two dictionaries are compiled in the travelogue dictionary genre, which made it possible to introduce even more additional country-specific information into the discursive presentation of proverbs. Thus, practicing teachers received ready-to-use linguoculturological lexicographic materials to apply in the educational process. The ideas and conclusions concerning the genre specificity of discursive dictionaries can be valuable for theoretical lexicography. The successful testing of lexicographic materials allows us to conclude that it is worth adopting the introduced model of linguoculturological re presentation of Russian proverbs in learner’s lexicography.

Authors: Tamer Khalil MohammedAli  , Adnan Raad Ahmed Ali  , Mahmood Ahmed Hmod
Published: May 2023

Aluminum wire scrap was collected to manufacture ingots, as we melted aluminum wires with high purity zinc and manganese metal. To examine the physical and mechanical properties, these alloys were cut into small strips and polished. The Vickers hardness (HV) technique was used to measure the hardness. The mechanical properties of the alloy increased with increasing zinc and manganese concentrations. It is observed that the values obtained from the EDX measurements and the SEM images are identical. Ingots contain gray and black areas; In the black region found, the elemental ratios of Al and Mn are high. XRD analyzes show that the α-Al peak is the main peak of all alloy configurations shown in all alloys. The secondary phases are Al2Mn and Al(MnZn) 6. It is clear that when the percentage of zinc increases, the parameters in the alloy structure decrease.
A Multisensory Approach to Language Arts
The Slingerland Approach in a Californian School
Authors: Mastropasqua Anna Chiara Angela , Restiglian Emilia , Tonegato Pietro
Published: May 2023

Born in the United States at the end of the last century, the Slingerland Approach is a multisensory method for literacy teaching, at the basis of which lies the assumption that language works based on a complex neurological organization which causes the automatic union of auditory, visual, and kinaesthetic stimuli at a cerebral level. This method offers the exceptional advantage of creating the conditions for the three sensory channels to be associated automatically, thus also connecting the respective association areas in the brain; this gives the child the means to overcome any (possible) difficulties that might occur in the reading-writing skills acquisition process. This article presents the results of a case study conducted at the Stellar Academy for Dyslexics in Newark (CA), a Californian school where the Slingerland Approach is applied to teaching.

Craniofacial Encephalocele: Updates on Management
Authors: Alberts Amelia , Lucke-Wold Brandon
Published: May 2023

Craniofacial encephaloceles are rare, yet highly debilitating neuroanatomical abnormalities that result from herniation of neural tissue through a bony defect and can lead to death, cognitive delay, seizures, and issues integrating socially. The etiology of encephaloceles is still being investigated, with evidence pointing towards the Sonic Hedgehog pathway, Wnt signaling, glioma-associated oncogene (GLI) transcription factors, and G protein-coupled receptors within primary cilia as some of the major genetic regulators that can contribute to improper mesenchymal migration and neural tube closure. Consensus on the proper approach to treating craniofacial encephaloceles is confounded by the abundance of surgical techniques and parameters to consider when determining the optimal timing and course of intervention. Minimally invasive approaches to encephalocele and temporal seizure treatment have increasingly shown evidence of successful intervention. Recent evidence suggests that a single, two-stage operation utilizing neurosurgeons to remove the encephalocele and plastic surgeons to reconstruct the surrounding tissue can be successful in many patients. The HULA procedure (H = hard-tissue sealant, U = undermine and excise encephalocele, L = lower supraorbital bar, A = augment nasal dorsum) and endoscopic endonasal surgery using vascularized nasoseptal flaps have surfaced as less invasive and equally successful approaches to surgical correction, compared to traditional craniotomies. Temporal encephaloceles can be a causative factor in drug-resistant temporal seizures and there has been success in curing patients of these seizures by temporal lobectomy and amygdalohippocampectomy, but magnetic resonance-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy has been introduced as a minimally invasive method that has shown success as well. Some of the major concerns postoperatively include infection, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage, infringement of craniofacial development, elevated intracranial pressure, wound dehiscence, and developmental delay. Depending on the severity of encephalocele prior to surgery, the surgical approach taken, any postoperative complications, and the age of the patient, rehabilitation approaches may vary.

Published: May 2023

Background: To investigate the risk factors for myocardial infarction, recurrent in-stent restenosis (ISR) and target vessel revascularization (TVR) in patients with coronary ISR within 4 years after revascularization. Methods: A total of 1884 patients who were hospitalized at Fuwai Hospital for ISR and successfully treated with coronary intervention between January 2017 and December 2018 were included to determine whether there were myocardial infarction, recurrent ISR, TVR and other major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) within 4 years after intervention. The patients were divided into the MACE group (215 patients) and the non-MACE group (1669 patients). The clinical data of patients in the two groups were compared, and the risk factors for postoperative MACEs in the ISR patients were obtained by multivariate logistic regression analysis. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to determine the optimal prediction threshold for postoperative MACEs in ISR patients. The difference in survival curves between the two groups was compared using Kaplan‒Meier survival analysis. Results: The albumin (43.42 ± 4.77 vs. 44.17 ± 4.46, p = 0.021), direct bilirubin (2.5 (2, 3.5) vs. 2.8 (2.07, 3.73), p = 0.036) and free triiodothyronine (FT3) (2.85 ± 0.43 vs. 2.92 ± 0.42, p = 0.019) levels in the MACE group were significantly lower than those in the non-MACE group, and there was a significant negative correlation between albumin and FT3 and MACEs. The results of univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that FT3 was an independent predictor of postoperative MACEs in ISR patients (Odds Ratio (OR) = 0.626, 95% CI: 0.429–0.913, p = 0.015). The ROC curve analysis determined that an FT3 value of 2.785 pmol/L was the optimal prediction threshold. According to the threshold, ISR patients were divided into the FT3 <2.785 group and the FT3 ≥2.785 group. The Kaplan‒Meier analysis revealed that the postoperative recurrence rate of MACEs of the FT3 <2.785 group was substantially greater than that of the FT3 ≥2.785 group (Hazard Ratio (HR) = 0.76, 95% CI: 0.58–0.994, p = 0.044). Conclusions: FT3 can be used as an independent predictor of postoperative myocardial infarction, recurrent ISR and TVR in ISR patients. When FT3 is <2.785 pmol/L, the incidence of postoperative myocardial infarction, recurrent ISR and TVR in ISR patients increases significantly.
The Impact of Systemic Inflammation Response Index on the Prognosis of Patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Authors: Qu Chao , Li Xiang , Gao Hai
Published: May 2023

Background: Inflammation is essential in cardiovascular disease (CVD) development and progression. A novel inflammatory parameter, the systemic inflammation response index (SIRI), has been proven to predict cancer prognosis strongly. Little is known about the relationship between SIRI and outcomes in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods: 1312 STEMI patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in Beijing Anzhen hospital from January 2019 to December 2021 were analyzed. SIRI was calculated as neutrophils × monocytes/lymphocytes. Our primary outcome was a 30-day major adverse event (MACE), including all-cause mortality, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, incident heart failure (HF), cardiogenic shock, and cardiac arrest. Results: Patients were stratified into four groups according to quartiles of SIRI: SIRI <1.58 (n = 328), 1.58 ≤ SIRI < 3.28 (n = 328), 3.28 ≤ SIRI < 7.80 (n = 328), SIRI ≥7.80 (n = 328). Higher SIRI was associated with a higher incidence of the 30-day MACE. The rates of 30-day MACE were 6.1%, 8.8%, 12.8%, and 17.1% (p < 0.001) for the lowest SIRI quartile to the highest quartile, respectively. This association was consistent in the outcome of HF but no other components. Higher SIRI indicated higher 30-day MACE incidence in most participants except in those with very high inflammatory indicators. Subgroup analysis showed this correlation was consistent in various subgroups (p for interaction >0.05). Conclusions: In patients with STEMI, higher SIRI indicated a higher incidence of 30-day MACE, except for those with very high inflammatory indicators. In most STEMI patients, SIRI might be a trustworthy indicator of short-term prognosis.

Authors: Chunharas Chaipat , Brady Timothy F.
Published: May 2023

What happens when there are many different objects that must be maintained simultaneously in visual working memory? Prominent models focus largely on individual objects in describing memory limits: e.g., claims that we can remember only a fixed number of items, or that a single resource limit describes the cost of holding additional items. While some acknowledge interactions between items, these interactions are not given a prominent role in most models. Here we show that instead of items being represented independently, the visual display is always compressed by utilizing clusters of items and the gist of the display. We reanalyze data from 11 previously available datasets (comprising 137,986 trials in total). We find strong evidence for non-independent representations, including chunking and use of the ‘gist’ of the display, which is present in nearly every study at every set size. We then present a model for understanding this chunking and the resulting attraction and repulsion biases based on psychophysical similarity. Overall, this work provides strong evidence that in order to understand visual working memory, we need to consider how our memory system takes advantage of the relationship between items. This is in contrast to the way the majority of the field studies visual working memory and suggests a major paradigm shift is required to think of memory in terms of clusters, chunks, and gist rather than in terms of independent items.
In Defence of Utopia: Józef Tischner’s Thinking about the Social Ethos
Authors: Wieczorek Krzysztof T.
Published: May 2023

An important trend in Tischner’s philosophical output was the observation of the phenomena that would occur in the current social life of Poles. The trend gained particular significance at the turn of the 1970s and the 1980s, when the processes that finally led to the systemic transformation began. During this period, Tischner made a successful attempt to reconstruct the Polish social ethos. It turned out that its integral element is the presence of utopian projects to rebuild the social order in the country. Tischner stated in his analyses that these utopias play a constructive role in the social life because they motivate people to engage in the political struggle for deep system reforms. The article presents the content of Tischner’s reconstruction of Polish utopias from the 1970s and the 1980s and the correlation between social ethics, ideological discussions, and political practice of the declining period of the Polish People’s Republic.

Встановлено, що опрацювання фонетичного аспекту іноземної мови в роботі зі студентами закладу вищої освіти передбачає розвиток на початковому етапі навчання їхнього артикуляційного апарату відповідно до особливостей звукового складу англійської мови; формування та розвиток фонематичного слуху; оволодіння правильною вимовою звуків. Поєднання сучасних фонетичних мультимедійних курсів та використання традиційних методів навчання вимови надають можливість розв’язати більшість фонетичних проблем. На старших курсах увагу слід акцентувати на фоностилістичних аспектах: бездоганній з точки зору англійської вимови та інтонації репрезентації текстів інформаційного та публіцистичного стилів, декламаціях уривків із сучасних художніх фільмів з точною імітацією інтонації акторів та з урахуванням коннотативних відтінків значення мовленнєвих фрагментів.
Samoupravljana digitalna identiteta na verigi blokov Cardano
Authors: Vasilev Nikolay , Lavbič Dejan
Published: May 2023

Problem današnjega interneta je, da je na voljo veliko informacij, ki jih nekdo nadzoruje (npr. oseba, organizacija), teh ljudi pa sploh ne poznamo. Samoupravljana identiteta je okvir zaupanja, pri katerem imajo entitete, kot so: ljudje, organizacije in abstraktne entitete, svoje popolnoma avtonomne identitete. Ta vrsta decentraliziranih digitalnih identitet s pomočjo decentraliziranih identifikatorjev in preverljivih poverilnic entitetam omogoča varno komunikacijo, nadzor nad lastnimi podatki ter izbiro, kaj in s kom bodo delili. Izmenjava podatkov se zgodi z uporabo verige blokov in tehnologije razpršene evidence, ki nam omogoča zaščitene in varne transakcije. S pomočjo te nove tehnologije in verige blokov Cardano smo razvili odprtokodno rešitev, ki bo študentom v pomoč pri izobraževalnem procesu. Ta rešitev pomaga predstaviti funkcionalnosti, ki nam jih decentralizirane digitalne identitete ponujajo pri izobraževanju. Z uporabo SWOT-analize smo primerjali sistem z že obstoječimi rešitvami, pri čemer pokažemo, da uporaba samoupravljene digitalne identitete naredi našo rešitev varnejšo, zmogljivejšo, cenejšo in uporabnejšo.
