Der Gehülfe - (Manuskript)
Authors: Walser Robert
Published: March 2023

Robert Walsers zweiter Roman  Robert Walsers zweiter Roman Der Gehülfe wurde 1908 vom Verlag Bruno Cassirer in Berlin verlegt, in dem 1907 bereits Geschwister Tanner erschienen war. Die Kritische Robert Walser-Edition (KWA) dokumentiert erstmals den Textstand des Erstdrucks des Romans, über den Christian Morgenstern, der Lektor des Verlags, urteilt: «Walser gefällt mir ausgezeichnet. […] Es ist etwas breit gewebt, aber die Muster verblüffen immer wieder durch ihre Feinheit. Eine erstaunliche Zucht und Reife erhebt es künstlerisch weit über die Vorgänger.» Die Entstehungs- und Textgeschichte des Romans gibt dabei einige Rätsel auf. Morgenstern lag noch vor dem Erscheinen von Geschwister Tanner, im November 1906, ein neues Manuskript Walsers vor, das in der überlieferten Korrespondenz mit «Gehülfe» betitelt wird, sich aber inhaltlich wesentlich vom vorliegenden Roman unterschieden haben muss. Offenbar wurden also binnen eines Jahres zwei Manuskripte fertiggestellt, wovon aber nur eines zum Druck gelangte. Im Nachwort der KWA wird diese nur lückenhaft zu rekonstruierende Entstehungsgeschichte Des Gehülfen und die dazu erhaltenen Dokumente in Auszügen wiedergegeben. Ein Abriss der frühen Rezeption gibt einen Einblick in die teilweise kontroversen Besprechungen und das breite Echo der Kritik zu Robert Walsers zweitem publizierten Roman. Im philologischen Apparat der Edition wird die Textdifferenz der Buchausgabe gegenüber der Handschrift (KWA IV 2) dargestellt. Die in KWA IV.2 faksimilierte und diplomatisch transkribierte Handschrift ist das einzige erhaltene Romanmanuskript neben demjenigen zu Geschwister Tanner. Die Entstehung des Romans scheint problemlos und rasch vonstatten gegangen zu sein, wie durch Selbstaussagen Walsers gegenüber Carl Seelig und in einem späteren Prosastück nahegelegt wird, worin dem Erzähler «in recht kurzer Zeit ein Roman aus der Feder hervorsproß». Im Vergleich zum ersten Roman weist das Manuskript auch ungleich weniger Bearbeitungsspuren auf. Der gleichmässige und saubere Schriftduktus lassen den Eindruck einer Abschrift entstehen. An den Faksimiles nachvollziehbare handschriftliche Phänomene legen jedoch nahe, dass es sich auch hier um eine Erstniederschrift handelt, die Walser vermutlich in der zweiten Jahreshälfte 1907 angefertigt hat. Auf der beigelegten CD-ROM befindet sich die elektronische Version aller bisher in der KWA edierten Bände, mit Dokumenten und den farbigen Handschriftenfaksimiles. Ausserdem enthält die CD-ROM die fortlaufend aktualisierte Version des Findbuchs, mit dem sämtliche Texte Robert Walsers nach den Archivstandorten, Erstdruckorten und den Abdrucken in den wichtigsten späteren Textausgaben identifiziert werden können.

Objective: To establish risk factors (RFs) for the development of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) among the Ministry of Emergency Situations (MChS) personnel. Methods: To identify the RFs for the development of NCDs, the health status of 205 MChS staff members of the Udmurt Republic, Russia, was assessed by a social survey according to a specially developed form «Social and hygienic profile of the MChS employee». In addition, the method of regression analysis, multiple linear regression, was selected to identify risk factors for NCDs. Results: Regression analysis showed that the MChS personnel health status is influenced in decreasing order by socio-hygienic, medico-biological, and professional factors. At the same time, the development of NCDs was significantly influenced by the complex of all identified RFs (R2=0.69; F=4.93; p=0.0001). The following statistically significant RFs for the development of chronic diseases in the MChS personnel were identified: work exposure of 6 years or more; frequent round the clock shifts; smoking; negative family emotional climate; a high level of state and trait anxiety, age 33 and above, and passive recreational use. Failure to maintain a healthy lifestyle (HL) is referred to as «borderline» RF. Conclusion: The identified RFs will promote development of the programs of NCDs prevention among the MChS personnel. Particular attention should be paid to educational technologies promoting health-related activities and good hygiene practices when developing programs. Keywords: Risk factors , chronic noncommunicable diseases, an employee of the Ministry of Emergency Situations.

Published: March 2023

Background: Anomalous or absent fetal sulci and gyri may be associated with abnormal brain development and increased incidence of the neurological and psychomotor problems like refractory epilepsy or developmental delay, later in the infant life. Lissencephaly, is a condition with "smooth brain," with the absence of normal convolutions (folds) in the cerebral cortex. Neuronal migration disorders result when the post mitotic neurons fail to migrate from the ventricular zone to the cortical plate, resulting in a wide spectrum of cortical malformations. The most common clinical manifestations include severe psychomotor retardation, developmental delay, refractory seizures, and failure to thrive.
Aim. The research aims at observing normal developmental pattern of fetal cerebral sulci between 18 to 32 weeks of gestational age by using ultrasonography.
Material and Methods. This is a Cross-sectional observational study, performed among 110 antenatal women investigated under the Department of Radio Diagnosis, Shri Sathya Sai medical college and research institute, Ammapettai. The appearance and complete formation of sulci and fissures such parieto-occipital sulci, cingulate sulci, calcarine sulci and convexity sulci and also the insula/sylvian fissure were identified.
Results and Discussion. Parietooccipital fissure wass identified as dot pattern by 18-19 weeks and complete by 24 weeks. Calcarine fissure identified as dot pattern by 18 -19 weeks and almost complete by 22 weeks. Cingulate sulci were identified as dot pattern by 23-24 weeks, with Y pattern appearing by 27-28 weeks and complete by 31-33 weeks. By 19-20 weeks Smooth surface Sylvian fissure was present and predominant till 20-21 weeks. By 22-23 weeks Obtuse angle Sylvian fissure was predominant and by 29-30 weeks Acute angle Sylvian fissure was complete. Convexity sulci was absent till 23 weeks 6 days and started appearing after 24 weeks. The Convexity sulci fully appeared after 28 weeks. The mean Period of Gestation (weeks) of the appearance of Dot, V and Y patterns of each fissure and sulci between the mother of below and above 35 years were not statistically significant.
Conclusion. Parietooccipital fissure, Sylvian fissure and Calcarine fissure started appearing by 18-19 weeks, and complete by 24 weeks (except Sylvian fissure which was complete by 30 weeks). Convexity and Cingulate sulci started appearing early by 23 weeks, complete by 28 weeks and 33 weeks respectively.
RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN LIPID PROFILE AND COMPLETE BLOOD CELL COUNT PARAMETERS
Authors: Dzis Yevhen , Tomashevska Oleksandra , Petrukh Andriy
Published: March 2023

Aim. Given that blood cells play an important role in both atherogenesis and lipid metabolism, the research aimed to assess the specifics of the relationship between the parameters of the blood lipid spectrum and the complete blood count (CBC).

Materials and Methods. A total of 475 individuals (245 female and 230 male) were included in the study, who simultaneously underwent CBC and determination of lipid profile, namely: total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and triglycerides (TG). Statistical processing of the obtained data was carried out using the "Statistica for Windows 6.0" software package (Statsoft, USA).

Results. An increase in levels of TC and LDL-C was associated with an increase in the count of lymphocytes and erythrocytes. A rise in VLDL-C and, accordingly, TG levels, as well as a decrease in the level of HDL-C, were associated with an increase in the total leukocyte count in the blood without a significant change in the ratio of their different types, and an increase in erythrocyte sedimentation rate. The count of platelets was directly related to the level of LDL-C and increased in the case of a combination of elevated levels of LDL-C and TG.

Discussion. The obtained results indicate that the disposal of excess lipoproteins is based on various types of immune reactions. An increase in the levels of VLDL-C and TG is associated with the development of a nonspecific leukocyte reaction, and an increase in LDL-C levels is associated with a more specific platelet-lymphocytic response. A simultaneous increase in LDL-C and TG levels can be associated with the development of both specific and non-specific immune reactions. An increase in the level of HDL-C leads to a decrease in the intensity of innate and adaptive immune responses. Therefore, the lipid profile of patients should be evaluated by taking into account the blood cell counts, especially in the process of hypolipidemic treatment.

Conclusions. An atherogenic lipid profile is associated with increased counts of all blood cells, reflecting specific and nonspecific immune reactions in response to elevated levels of various lipid groups. Platelets play an important role in lipid metabolism.

Out of Space and into the Ground: Chemical and Water Pollution in H.P. Lovecraft’s New England
Authors: Bonati Catalina
Published: March 2023

This paper discusses the influence of interwar environmental practices regarding chemical and water pollution in New England on H. P. Lovecraft’s “The Colour Out of Space” (1927) and “The Shunned House” (1937). It is argued that the literary Gothic tradition which Lovecraft builds upon is influenced by Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The House of the Seven Gables (1851) and remodeled by Rachel Carson in Silent Spring (1962) as ecoGothic realism. It is discussed that “The Colour Out of Space” extends Lovecraft’s personal writings regarding the gap between class and politics in the face of growing wealth disparity. It is commented how in “The Shunned House,” Lovecraft presents anti-immigration sentiment while also advocating for integrated and preserved cities free of pollution, and the paper concludes that for Lovecraft, changes in landscape and ecology reflect fundamental changes in New England society that are evidenced by commercialism and lack of proper waste management policies.

Authors: Kiran Rajkumar Swathi , Sunitha Vellathussery C. , Kashyap Ravindar , Madhan Ramachandran , Ramesh Andi S. , Nagarajan Krishnan
Published: March 2023

Atretic cephaloceles (ACs) are congenital skull defects with herniation of rudimentary intracranial structures through the defect and associated with persistent falcine sinus or embryonic positioning of straight sinus. We describe five cases of ACs, out of which only one had embryonic straight sinus. Three cases had other intracranial malformations such as hypoplasia of corpus callosum, dysplastic tectum in one child and parieto-occipital polymicrogyria with falcotentorial dehiscence in the other, and frontal horn deformity and cortical dysplasia in the third. The prognosis of AC depends on the coexistent intracranial abnormalities and this highlights the role of magnetic resonance imaging in diagnosing the other associated anomalies for prediction of prognosis and planning of necessary surgical management.
Cutaneous non-tuberculous mycobacterial infections: An update
Authors: George Mamatha
Published: March 2023

Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are increasingly recognized as causes of skin and soft-tissue infections. They include rapid-growing and slow-growing species. Hospital outbreaks related to contaminated water and in association with surgical and cosmetic procedures have been described. Infections are also associated with immunosuppression. NTM infections have a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations, though Mycobacterium marinum and Mycobacterium ulcerans manifest characteristic lesions – swimming pool granuloma and Buruli ulcer, respectively. NTM infection should be suspected when the skin infection (especially those following trauma or invasive procedure or in a patient with immunosuppression) does not respond to antibiotics. NTM are acid fast, but will be negative on cartridge based nucleic acid amplification tests for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Diagnosis is confirmed by polymerase chain reaction test which is the gold standard. NTM show variable susceptibility to antimicrobials and no clear treatment guidelines are available. Surgical treatment may also be needed in some cases.

Purpose. To evaluate possibility of using the mathematical models obtained as a result of deep learning of artificial neural networks (ANNmodels) to predict the optical power of modern intraocular lenses (IOL). Material and methods. The dataset included 455 depersonalized records of patients (26 columns of input factors and one column – output factor – calculation of IOL (dptr). For convenient construction of ANN models, a simulator program previously developed by the authors and Python language tools in the Google Colaboratory were used. Results. This article describes the possibility of using mathematical models obtained as a result of deep learning of ANN models to predict the optical power of modern IOLs, widely used in the surgical cataract treatment in ophthalmology. A distinctive feature of such ANN models in comparison with the wellknown formulas SRK II, SRK/T, Hoffer-Q, Holladay II, Haigis, Barrett is their ability to take into account a significant number of recorded input quantities, which makes it possible to reduce the mean relative error in calculating the optical power of IOL from 10 –12 to 3.5%. Conclusion. The resulting models, in contrast to the traditionally used formulas, reflect the regional specificity of patients to a much greater extent. They also make it possible to retrain and optimize the structure based on newly received data, which allows taking into account the non-stationarity of the object. Keywords: optical power of an intraocular lens, IOL, artificial neural networks, ANN-models, deep learning, training dataset

Published: March 2023

Primary benzyl amines are highly important building blocks in the pharmaceutical and polymer industry. A new Schiff base ligand named (4-Methyl benzyl 2-Hydroxy 5-NitroAceto) imine was prepared through condensation reaction of 4-Methyl Benzyl amine and 2-hydroxy 5-Nitro Acetophenone in 1:2 molar ratios. The new ligand was characterized by spectral techniques. The coordination behaviour of a series of transition metal ions named Mn(II), Co(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) with the newly prepared Schiff base ligand is reported. From IR spectra, it was observed that the ligand is a neutral bidentate ligand which coordinates to the metal ions through protonated phenolic oxygen, azomethine nitrogen and nitrogen atom of NH2 group. The molecular structures of the Schiff base ligand and its metal complexes were optimized theoretically. The synthesized ligand and its complexes were screened for antimicrobial activities against bacterial species. It was found that the compounds have shown activity against the organisms like Candida albicans, Bacillus subtilis and Salmonella typhi.

Published: March 2023

Different bacterial cultures were isolated from different sources and screened for their ability to decolourize and detoxify azo dyes contained in the textile effluent. Three strains, identified as Fictibacillus gelatini, Bacillus subtilis subsp. inaquosorum and Bacillus subtilis subsp. subtilis showed tremendous potential in decolourizing azo dyes. Enzyme profiling revealed that they are producing Laccase and Azoreductase efficiently. The parametric optimization of different variables, namely carbon and nitrogen sources, pH, temperature, inoculum size and dye concentrations showed significant effect on azo dye decolourization percentage. Significant results of decolourization were obtained when microbial consortia were used. These isolates not only degraded or removed the dyes from these effluents but also caused reduction in the cost of effluent treatment processes along with tremendously decrease the COD, TDS and TSS levels.

Managing academic mobility as a tool of «soft power» in contemporary China
Authors: Zakharov M. Y. , Starovoytova I. E. , Shishkova A. V.
Published: March 2023

The paper deals with the phenomenon of academic mobility in the context of internationalization of higher education in modern China. It focuses on such problems as specificity of Chinese approach to internationalization of higher education and functioning of academic mobility in the context of transformation of international educational space. It is shown that the image of the future educated China is based on the traditional project of “Great Unity” society (Datong society in Confucian concept of social ideal). At the same time the idea of a united humanity is not exceptionally Chinese, but has deep historical roots and a universal nature. Cautious about the supranational extrapolation of this idea, modern China is nevertheless expanding international cooperation and strengthening cross-national contacts, using cross-border academic mobility as one of its “soft power” tools.

Published: March 2023

The purpose of the article is to identify the risks of geo-economic fragmentation and deglobalization of integration during the period of the sanctions economy, their manifestation at the level of national economic entities, determination of overcoming factors. The subject of the study is the processes of adaptation of Russian business to the conditions of the global crisis of the pandemic period and anti-Russian sanctions, measures of state regulation of import substitution measures and reduction of supply chain gaps and partnerships. The main risks of globalization and integration of a socio-cultural nature are identified: distrust of government institutions, cross-cultural and ethno-humanitarian gaps, economic pessimism. One of the factors of containment of deglobalization gaps has been identified, which consists in the “weak ties” of existing partnerships, their relational capital. Examples of sustainable partnerships in business, science and education led to the conclusion that it is necessary to shift the emphasis in the training of managerial personnel to meritocratic principles of corporate theory, taking into account the interests of all stakeholders of companies and public sector organizations.
Regional experience in organizing the protection of minors from a destructive information environment (by the example of non-central regions)
Authors: Titor S. E.
Published: March 2023

Achievements in the field of new technologies, on which the formation of the modern information society is based, have led to the rapid development of the global computer network Internet. The Internet as a means of social communication has both a positive impact on the world community and has negative consequences. The relevance of protecting minors from destructive information is quite high, since in the modern world, where technology has taken a leading position in human life, including children. Researchers believe that a comprehensive solution to the problem of ensuring the information security of minors is impossible without coordinated actions of federal and regional authorities. The following regions were selected for the study: the Republic of Buryatia, Irkutsk Region, Khanty-Mansiysk District, Yamalo-Nenets District. This was not done by chance, since these regions have their own specifics: the first and main ones are located geographically far from the center of Russia, from the capital Moscow. They have their own special climatic and economic features. In terms of their territorial size, these regions are many times larger than the average regions in the central part of Russia. This specificity determines the relevance of the study of these regions. The study analyzes the legislative framework of the regions regulating the protection of minors from negative information, as well as law enforcement practice.

The unity of cognitive and emotional aspects in modern psychotherapy
Authors: Rastorgueva E. N.
Published: March 2023

This article considers the role of emotional and cognitive aspects in modern areas of psychotherapy. It reveals long-term psychotherapeutic effects of incoherent dealing with client’s feelings and thoughts, based on actual case studies in modern psychotherapy and reflected in the literature on the subject. The analysis of psychotherapeutic texts reveals authors’ statements contradicting the general knowledge of feelings and emotions and suggests ways of eliminating such contradictions and simplifications. The article also considers how warping towards rationality can go unnoticed, to the detriment of dealing with feelings, and how the self-improvement process can lose its integrity, causing a distortion of basic psychological literacy instead of its enhancement. The article outlines and justifies two attitudes that are proposed to be developed among clients in any form and area of psychotherapy: the attitudes to live through their feelings and then release their unwanted feelings. We describe new psychological aspects in the process of living through one’s feelings in general and in the process of psychotherapy in particular. The integration of basic psychological knowledge of emotional intelligence into the theory and practice of various areas of psychotherapy can significantly improve the work of practicing psychologists and psychotherapists with clients and can effectively contribute to the convergence of different areas of psychotherapy.

Published: March 2023

This article discusses the problems of urbanization and the development of megacities against the backdrop of the decline of medium and small towns in the Russian Federation. For the assessment, materials from the official website of Rosstat, as well as expert data and materials from consulting companies for 2021-2022 were used. In the course of the study, it was found that megalopolises receive predominant development in modern conditions, as evidenced by the practice of construction. The existing instruments of state support for the development of medium and small towns are either of little use or ineffective. Based on the results of the study, it is concluded that it is necessary to change the situation for the development of medium and small towns in Russia, to develop new approaches and to apply complex solutions to the existing problem. The author proposes various tools of an economic, managerial, organizational nature to overcome a crisis situation.

The basis of the successful sustainable development of the country is based on the design and development of the principles of sustainable development by the largest companies. The issue of searching for options for changing and improving the mechanism for sustainable development of oil and gas companies  and the development of their methodological and legal support is acute on the agenda of the management of the companies themselves, as well as in the framework of research at the state level. In connection with the growing geopolitical threats, the increasing pressure of oil-producing countries on pricing and production levels, participation in the development of the Arctic shelf, as well as the internal problems of the Russian Federation and the companies themselves, which are strategically important in the country’s economy, the necessity and need for the development and improvement of the sustainable development mechanism are relevant and justified. Purpose of the study – to determine the place occupied by oil and gas companies among other industries of the Russian Federation in the field of sustainable development and the level of disclosure of their financial and non-financial statements. Research objectives; to analyze the results of the reports of the main rating agencies of the Russian Federation; to identify bottlenecks – strengths and weaknesses of oil and gas companies. Consider the possibility of improving the sustainable development mechanism. Research results are as follows. Based on the analysis of the existing theoretical framework in the field of sustainable development , as well as the results of the main national ratings, bottlenecks were identified in the publication of oil and gas companies reports. A variant of improving the mechanism of sustainable development of the functioning of oil and gas companies is proposed.
Integrated methodology for assessing the readiness of a territory for the creation of a transport cluster
Authors: Malysheva K. B.
Published: March 2023

The process of transport clustering is a tool for the regional spatial development of the country, since it contributes to the elimination of infrastructural constraints, increasing the availability and quality of the main transport infrastructure and increasing the competitiveness of the territory. The choice of a territory for the creation of a transport and logistics cluster (hereinafter - TLC) is an important stage in the development of the clustering process, but there is no methodology that assesses the conditions of the region for the creation of a TLC. The aim of the work is to develop a methodology for assessing the readiness of the territory to create a TLC. To achieve this goal, the following tasks were completed: indicators were developed that characterize the conditions for the creation of a TLC; mathematical tools of the methodology were developed; three groups of regions were identified according to the value of assessing readiness for the creation of a TLC; the methodology was tested in the regions of the Russian Federation and subjects ready to create a transport cluster were identified. As a result of the methodology approbation the regions of the Russian Federation were assessed according to the degree of readiness for transport clustering, which forms the basis for the spatial development of the territory.
