Differential expression of DDX3X in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: September 2022

Neurodegenerative diseases that affect the motor neurons, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), have little treatment options and are generally rapidly fatal (1, 2). We harnessed the power of unbiased, whole transcriptome differential gene expression analysis, utilizing primary patient cells and tissues to discover genes whose expression defines sporadic ALS using published data (3, 4). We found significant differential expression of DDX3X, encoding DEAD-box helicase 3, X-linked, in primary fibroblasts of patients with sporadic ALS (SALS). DDX3X transcript was present at significantly lower levels in SALS patient fibroblasts as compared to control, non-diseased fibroblasts. These analyses will begin to define the transcriptional landscape of sporadic ALS.

p-ADIC WELCH BOUNDS AND p-ADIC ZAUNER CONJECTURE
Authors: KRISHNA K. MAHESH
Published: September 2022

Let $p$ be a prime. For $d\in \mathbb{N}$, let $\mathbb{Q}_p^d$ be the standard $d$-dimensional p-adic Hilbert space. Let $m \in \mathbb{N}$ and $\text{Sym}^m(\mathbb{Q}_p^d)$ be the p-adic Hilbert space of symmetric m-tensors. We prove the following result. Let $\{\tau_j\}_{j=1}^n$ be a collection in $\mathbb{Q}_p^d$ satisfying (i) $\langle \tau_j, \tau_j\rangle =1$ for all $1\leq j \leq n$ and (ii) there exists $b \in \mathbb{Q}_p$ satisfying $\sum_{j=1}^{n}\langle x, \tau_j\rangle \tau_j =bx$ for all $ x \in \mathbb{Q}^d_p.$ Then \begin{align}\label{WELCHNONABSTRACT} \max_{1\leq j,k \leq n, j \neq k}\{|n|, |\langle \tau_j, \tau_k\rangle|^{2m} \}\geq \frac{|n|^2}{\left|{d+m-1 \choose m}\right| }.\end{align}We call Inequality (\ref{WELCHNONABSTRACT}) as the p-adic version of Welch bounds obtained by Welch [\textit{IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 1974}]. Inequality (\ref{WELCHNONABSTRACT}) differs from the non-Archimedean Welch bound obtained recently by M. Krishna as one can not derive one from another. We formulate p-adic Zauner conjecture.

Identifying risk factors for compassion fatigue in psychologists in Aotearoa, New Zealand
Authors: Kercher Amy , Gossage Lisa
Published: September 2022

Psychologists work extensively with people experiencing personal and mental health difficulties, providing psychological support and therapeutic interventions. While past research has established that psychologists are at risk of secondary traumatic stress and burnout (together comprising Compassion Fatigue), little is known about the professional and personal circumstances that mitigate their risk. The current study surveyed mental health symptoms and professional quality of life among 149 registered psychologists in Aotearoa, New Zealand (4.1% of the workforce). A broad range of experiences were considered, including psychologists’ symptoms of stress, anxiety, depression, Burnout, Secondary Traumatic Stress, Compassion Satisfaction and resilience, along with contextual factors including caseload, professional support, and personal circumstances, in the second year of the pandemic. LASSO regression was used to identify variables that predicted Compassion Fatigue and Compassion Satisfaction. Although psychologists find their work rewarding and satisfying, our results indicate a high rate of psychological distress and risk of compassion fatigue in our cohort of psychologists, partly associated with increased stress from COVID-19. This study identifies risk factors including COVID related stress, working with clients at risk, and symptoms of stress and anxiety, accounting for 59% of the variance in compassion fatigue. Additional informal supervision support, resilience and increased employer support were predictive of increased Compassion Satisfaction. It is imperative to focus on professional support, personal well-being and manageable caseloads, to ensure a future sustainable psychology workforce.
Social disorientation caused temporal disorientation during the Covid-19 pandemic: An analysis of 3308 responses to a quantitative questionnaire
Authors: Velasco Pablo Fernandez , Gurchani Muhammad Umer , Perroy Bastien , Casati Roberto
Published: September 2022

The societal hallmark of the Covid-19 pandemic was a set of mitigation measures such as lockdowns and curfews. The cognitive impact on the general public of the resulting spatial, social, and temporal constraints is still being investigated. While pandemic time has been extensively studied and mostly described as slowed down and elongated, opposite experimental patterns across national and social contexts leave open an important explanatory gap in order to understand which factor has been causally fundamental in determining the phenomenology of the crisis. In this paper, we use a quantitative questionnaire developed for measuring temporal and social disorientation on a sample of 3308 respondents during an acute phase of restrictions in France. We show that social disorientation drove the majority of temporal disruptions experienced during the crisis. Public authorities should address the compounding effect of feeling secluded during crises, as social disorientation leads to temporal disorientation.
Altered structural brain connectivity and reorganization of hubs are associated with emotional processing in nonsuicidal self-injury
Authors: Lee Soo-Eun , Hur Ji-Won
Published: September 2022

Aim: Despite accelerating increases in nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI), identifying promising biomarkers for NSSI and their clinical implications still remains challenging. Our study aimed to investigate possible alterations in brain network topologies and their association with emotional processing in individuals engaging in NSSI by leveraging novel computational methods of individualized structural covariance networks (SCNs) and graph theoretical analysis.Methods: Participants engaging in NSSI (n = 61) and age, sex, and handedness matched controls (n = 62) underwent anatomical T1-weighted MRI scanning and completed self-report questionnaires for emotion dysregulation and emotional contagion traits. After constructing individualized SCNs using cortical thickness measures, graph theoretical analysis was applied to examine the topological properties of structural covariance networks. Results: Compared to controls, individuals engaging in NSSI exhibited significantly reduced global clustering, as well as reduced local clustering coefficient in the right insular sulcus, right middle frontal gyrus, right angular gyrus, left inferior temporal gyrus, and left anterior occipital sulcus (FDR-corrected P < .05). Hubs unique to the NSSI group were the right middle posterior cingulate cortex (mPCC), left middle occipital gyrus, left orbital gyrus, right precentral gyrus, and left superior temporal sulcus. The local clustering coefficient of the right insular sulcus was associated with emotional contagion for positive emotions, and the hubness of the mPCC was associated with emotion dysregulation in the NSSI group. Conclusion: Our findings constitute a first step toward identifying the neurocircuitry-based biomarkers of NSSI, which may be characterized by alterations in structural brain networks and their connections to emotional processing.
DEVELOPING A HYDRAULIC SIMULATION MODEL TO DETECT THE AGRICULTURAL LAND-USE SERVED BY IRRIGATION CHANNELS: A CASE STUDY AL-KHORA RIVERS, SOUTH OF IRAQ
Authors: Dhafer Abed Ali
Published: September 2022

This research aims to determine the areas and locations of agricultural lands served by irrigation water in the Al-Khora region, northwest of Basra city. As the irrigation water flows to the agricultural lands in the Al-Khora area through the irrigation channels branching from the Al-Saraji and Al-Khora rivers, which branch from the Shatt Al-Arab, and are designed to irrigate the surrounding agricultural lands depending on the tide’s phenomenon. Since tidal water level in the Shatt al-Arab is variable throughout the day, which leads to an irregular distribution of water between one region and another throughout the days of the year, and it is difficult to determine the areas served by irrigation water whenever we move away from the Shatt al-Arab. Therefore, this study focused on building a hydraulic simulation model in the HEC-RAS program to simulate flow in the rivers of the study area and to know the extent of its spread in the surrounding areas. The areas of agricultural uses reached by the tidal water were determined in the periods of the lowest tide in November, and the volumes of water used in the irrigation process and the ranges of their impact on the neighboring areas were also calculated. The study concluded that the agricultural areas confined between the Sarraji and Al-Khora rivers can increase from 1298 to 1698 acres (equivalent to 31% of their original area) if the areas of land that can be irrigated by the side canals branching from the two rivers are taken into consideration.

Published: September 2022

The article analyzes the specifics of coverage of the history of the Crimean Khanate in the «Ukrainian Historical Journal» («UHJ») from 1957 to 2017. The author focuses on topics that were studied by historians of Crimea and makes an overview of the content and number of publications concerning specific periods of the existence of the UHJ. In particular, the main trends of articles on the Crimean Khanate during the Soviet period and after reestablishment of Ukrainian independence in 1991 are highlighted. So, the article shows the problem of the lack of research on the history of the Crimean Khanate in the Soviet Union because of the pressure of state ideology, which accused the Crimean Tatar people of collaborating with the Nazis during the Second World War. As a result, the history of Crimea was under a taboo, which negatively affected the scientific development of the mentioned topic. The article also demonstrates data about the main topics from the history of Crimea, about which scientists wrote in the indicated period. The author demonstrates that the study of the Crimean Khanate took place exclusively from the angle of its relationship with the Cossacks or the Moscow kingdom, namely through the prism of wars and confrontations of the 16–17th centuries. Then, an analysis of the changes in the problems of articles devoted to the history of Crimea caused by the reforms of the second half of the 1980s is carried out. in the USSR. The article notes a sharp increase in the number of publications that affect the history of the Crimean Khanate. After that, the author reviews publications of the 1990s and 2000s. The reasons for changes in the number of studies of this problem and their focus from the political history of Crimea to the history of everyday life, mentality, and religion are revealed. A quantitative analysis of publications is carried out, which demonstrates fluctuations in the interest of the scientific community in the subject of the Crimean Khanate. Based on the latter, the author demonstrates a surge in research related to medieval Crimea after 2014 caused by the occupation of the peninsula by Russia.

Published: September 2022

In the article, the author raises the problems of «colored» and «velvet» revolutions that rolled around the world at the end of the XX in the early XXI century. It took more than 30 years since won the first revolutions, so many researchers study this issue. After analyzing the latest works of domestic and foreign authors, the author notes the reasons for revolutionary events and calls the main positive and negative consequences. The article emphasizes that the researchers evaluate the social performances in different ways: some consider them revolutions, and some political ciphers or compromises, etc. Also mentioned by the ideologue of these revolutions – the American political scientist Gin Sharp, and his work «From Dictatorship to Democracy,» in which he developed a strategy of non-violent coups, to collapse the USSR, the establishment of democratic regimes all over the world like the United States. After analyzing it, the author of the article argues that it is only a stage in the modern geopolitics of globalization. It is noted that globalists in general work on the elimination of national states. So all these revolutions are at a certain stage in the general world process. According to the results of revolutions, in the first place, you can see the formation of colonial territories with the same legislative, similar problems, a weak economy, chaotic political situation. And as a result of the destruction of traditional societies and weakening of national states. «Colored Revolutions» have become a permanent phenomenon in such states. Each of them is accompanied by certain human victims, but a large number is gaining. So, it is necessary to demonstrate transparent statistics and make the necessary lessons.

Authors:   Nizhyn Gogol State University, Dudka R.
Published: September 2022

In the article, the author explores the problems of modern Orthodox Churches, which many call as the crisis of modern world Orthodoxy. First of all, it is a violation of the unity of world Orthodoxy. At the beginning of the article, the position of the UOC and the position of the previous Ukrainian government on this issue are examined. Also, some anti-church laws proposed by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine are analyzed. The questions of the history of Phanar in connection with the Vatican, as well as the creation of the universal ecumenical church and the role of Patriarch Bartholomew in strengthening the schism of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church are touched upon. Further the latest developments in Montenegro in connection with the adoption of new laws against the Serbian Orthodox Church are outlined, as well as the relationship in these events is traced. In addition, there are made assessments of the situation in the UOC and the SOC by the first hierarchs of the Orthodox Churches. At the end of the article, it is concluded that all the described events once again testify to plans to create a corresponding global church in the global world, which will no longer have any relation to Christianity

Authors:   Nizhyn Gogol State University, Haidenko O.
Published: September 2022

The article provides an overview of the prospects for further research of students of the Nizhyn Historical and Philological Institute named after Prince Bezborodko in the late 19th – early 20th century. Nizhyn students are considered through the prism of the general imperial, which is why the main achievements of Soviet and post-Soviet historiography on this issue are highlighted. It is emphasized that so far there is no work in which attention is paid to the students of the Bezborodko Institute, their daily lives and not to teachers, the internal regulations of the institution or socio-political metamorphoses. Also today there are not many scientific works that would reveal the problems of provincial students of the Russian Empire. Taking into account these aspects, this article identifies ways of further research: social and ideal images of students, their everyday life, the specifics of studying at the Institute of History and Philology.

The Afghan Question in Russian Conservative Opinion Journalism in the Mid-1880s
Authors: Ishchenko Nikita S.
Published: September 2022

In the first half of the reign of Alexander III (1881–1894), Russia took several important steps to strengthen its position in Central Asia. The annexation of the city of Merv, the Iolatan and Panjdekh oases in 1884–1885 led to territorial disputes with Afghanistan over the southern Turkmen lands and to a clash with an Afghan detachment on the Kushka River. The latter event nearly brought the political confrontation between St Petersburg and London over influence in the region to the brink of a full-scale military conflict. The peace settlement resulted in the work of a mixed British-Russian commission to determine the western part of the Russian-Afghan border, which culminated in the signing of an agreement in 1888. These events did not elude the attention of the Russian public. Leading national periodicals reported on the situation on the southern borders of the empire. In this article, the author attempts to characterise the views of influential Russian conservative authors of those years on Russian policy in Afghanistan in the mid-1880s and to analyse the extent to which their foreign policy proposals coincided with the actions of the Russian government. The study draws on the publications of the most influential representatives of the conservative press, as well as official press articles on events on the Russian-Afghan border, published during the period when the Russian-British confrontation in the region (1884–1886) was at its peak. The author concludes that, despite Alexander III's sympathy for conservative views and those who expressed them, the government did not accept a single proposal from conservative publicists regarding Russian policy at the borders of Afghanistan.
“Political Antiquity” in the Post-Yugoslav Space
Authors: Vishnyakov Yaroslav
Published: September 2022

The problem of the formation and development of state and social structures in the countries that emerged after the collapse of SFR Yugoslavia is closely related to the issue of the formation of their new national identities. An important role in this process is played by the image of a hostile “other” in the ordinary consciousness of the people, which has become one of the main means of internal consolidation of the new Balkan states. The tragic events of the 1991–1995 Yugoslav War and the 1998–1999 Kosovo Crisis brought a variety of myths and concepts about their national identities to the fore, resulting in new searches for their ethnic identities. In the context of the polysemous notion of “us and them”, images of empires from the distant past have become an important tool in the formation of ethnic identities of post-Yugoslav countries, designed to form a distinctive, different from neighbouring nations, perception of “homeland” in society, to emphasise its uniqueness and antiquity, especially as in the historical development of the Western Balkans it proved impossible to combine state borders with ethnic boundaries, as well as to correlate the concepts of identity and territory. Here too, the images of antiquity are not subject to scholarly inquiry or debate, but are presented to society as an “indisputable” historical argument and a fait accompli in territorial disputes with its neighbours. Thus, the ancient past of the Balkan region becomes an important instrument in a kind of memory war aimed at destroying any reference to the “strange” people who once lived on this territory and to the time of their forced neighbourhood, as well as “incontrovertible” proof that the small people belonged to the West and its values – the legacy of that same antiquity.
A Military History Without the History of Battles
Authors: Gladyshev Andrey
Published: September 2022

The emergence of military-historical anthropology as an independent trend in historiography has changed the traditional image of war. In place of the history of strategic operation plans, battles, marshals and generals, and casualty counts, came the story of the everyday life of soldiers, front-line life, and the emotions of the civilians and servicemen embroiled in the conflict. The “human dimension” of the war has become a topical subject, as evidenced by the publications of Russian and international researchers on the history of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars over the last two decades. An example of this is a book by Alan Forrest, Professor Emeritus at the University of York, Napoleon's Men: The Soldiers of the Revolution and Empire, recently published in Russian. This work, like an Art Nouveau gallery in its day, is a peculiar collection of examples of new approaches and problem formulations in the field of military history. The Revolutionary and Imperial Wars are viewed as the first experience of “total war” in modern history, affecting all sections of society and serving as a catalyst for processes of national self-identification. This approach allows one to answer a number of questions which are new to military history: how perceptions of manhood, civic duty, and patriotism were formed, what role women played in these processes, what was the “war culture” in relation to prisoners of war, how attitudes to recruitment changed, what the fate of veterans was after the war, etc. As the analysis of contemporary historiography demonstrates, the turn from purely positivist approaches to constructivism, from the history of battles to presentations of personal life experiences, is accompanied by a desire to link the study of the past with the study of the collective memory of that past.

Published: September 2022

The gradual fading of interest in Russian Chinese cross-border cooperation is its current state main feature, that contradicts the growing number of state programs, framework agreements and with serious political support. China is increasingly restrained in assessing the transit benefits and prospects of industrial cooperation at the local level due to the small capacity of the Russian Far East market and their infrastructural underdevelopment. Both countries demonstrate an increased level of mutual distrust, bilateral projects become increasingly inconsistent, their implementation is delayed, its results contradict the expectations placed on them. To understand the reasons for this imbalance, this article consistently analyzes the main dimensions and indicators of Russian Chinese cross-border cooperation, the features of the currently existing regulatory framework and institutional framework, as well as the results of the implementation of several government programs and major bilateral projects. On the example of successful and unsuccessful cases, an attempt is made to identify obstacles to the development of interregional cooperation at different levels, including such deep problems as resistance of local elites and underestimation of the real foreign economic features and capabilities of the regions, and compare them with the problems identified by Chinese experts.
