Actualization of Positions of Gliflozins in Treatment Algorithms for Patients with Heart Failure: Chronology of Success
Authors: Nikulina Natal’ya N.
Published: October 2022

INTRODUCTION: Despite the efforts of the cardiologic communities to introduce approaches to treatment of heart failure (HF) based on the highest level of evidence, HF remains one of the least satisfied demands in the therapy of cardiovascular diseases due to high prevalence, poor prognosis and insufficient use of treatment methods with clinically proven effectiveness. The article considers chronology of study and introduction of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (syn.: gliflozins; SGLT2is) in clinical practice from the moment of creation of the first drug of this group ― florizin ― and further, stepwise with the change of the therapeutic paradigm as the result of performed clinical trials. Thus, EMPAREG OUTCOME, CANVAS, DECLARE-TIMI 58 studies demonstrated that SGLT2is not only produce a glucosuric effect, but also reduce the development and progression of HF and increase the life expectancy of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) and with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LFEF). DAPA-HF, EMPEROR-Reduced studies proved a possibility of improving the outcomes for patients with HF with reduced LVEF irrespective of the presence or absence of DM2, thereby significantly expanding the potential target group for SGLT2is. EMPEROR-Preserved study is the only study of SGLT2is to date (the study drug ― empagliflozin) that has demonstrated high effectiveness of the drug in prevention of cardiovascular mortality and hospitalizations for HF, probably irrespective of LVEF and the existence of DM2. In result, on September 9, 2021, FDA (Food and Drug Administration, USА) assigned the breakthrough therapy status to Jardiance (empagliflozin) drug for treatment of HF with preserved LFEF. EMPA-REG OUTCOME, DAPA-HF, EMPEROR-Reduced, EMPEROR-Preserved, DAPA-CKD studies have shown SGLT2is to slow down the development of the terminal stage of chronic kidney disease. Finally, the main result of EMPULSE study completed in 2022, was the proven clinical benefit of empagliflozin in hospitalized and stabilized patients with acute HF decompensation irrespective of HF status and existence of DM2.
CONCLUSION: From the moment SGLT2is have been introduced in the clinical practice, they rapidly and successfully passed the way from the second-line antidiabetic drugs for which it was just enough not to worsen the prognosis for serious cardiovascular complications, to independent and effective class of drugs for treatment of HF (with class I and IIa recommendations). The totality of clinical trials of empagliflozin showed that empaflorizin is so far the only drug of the SGLT2is group with the proven safety and clinical effectiveness including the influence on the prognosis, in patients with HF irrespective of the LVEF status, presence or absence of DM2, for use in outpatient treatment and in stabilized patients in hospital.

INTRODUCTION: The regulatory and legal framework controlling the procedure for registration and circulation of prescriptions in the Russian Federation is dynamic and changes with the level of development of digital technologies. The Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation is continuously working on improvement of the existing regulatory documents with the aim to optimize the activities of medical and pharmaceutical workers in the field of issuing prescriptions and sale of prescription drugs. The article presents an analysis of the regulatory and legal framework regulating the procedure for registration and circulation of prescriptions for medical drugs.
CONCLUSIONS: On March 1, 2022, Order No. 1094n came into force, that regulates the new procedure for registration and circulation of prescriptions. The changes made to the rules are aimed at optimizing the procedure for issuing prescriptions and simplifying it for doctors. However, for a number of formulations used in the current version of the order, explanations from the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation are desirable, or it is necessary to form a unified opinion of the professional community.

Cavosurface margins for various restorations
Authors: Gudapati Swapnika
Published: October 2022

Many factors play a critical role in getting the best restoration, such as cavity design, operator skill, type of restorative material etc. However, the weakest link in any restoration is the tooth restoration interface. Every effort should be made to design and prepare these marginal peripheries to create the most favourable relationship with each other and for the longevity of the restoration. The restoration can survive in the biological environment of the oral cavity only if the margins are closely adapted to the cavosurface finish line of the preparation. One of the important aspects of cavity design is the cavosurface marginal seal/design. This review paper highlights the different cavosurface margins suitable for various restorations and their importance.

Published: October 2022

Early childhood caries is one of the most common and severe oral health problems among the children. It is associated with aesthetic and functional problems that can interfere in the personality and behavioural development of the child. Severe ECC in children leads to extensive breakdown of the tooth structure requiring placement of a intracanal post or retainer before restoration of the tooth. The present case series describes two cases of 4 and 5 year old children with severely decayed maxillary anterior teeth that were restored using Ribbond as a post material followed by resin-composite strip crowns.

Published: October 2022

This study aimed at assessing the trace metals contents of cobwebs using atomic absorption spectroscopy. The cobwebs were collected from male’s hostel; females hostel, chemistry laboratory, and lecture theatre areas in order to establish the level of suspended trace metals in the atmosphere. The cobwebs were digested with aqua regia before analysis using atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). The highest concentration value of Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Pb, Co, Cd, Na, and Mg are 10.388±4.734, 4.228±3.267, 0.461±0.900, 0.639±0,529, 0.13±0.05, 0.115±0.099, 0.004±0.001, 0.600±0.400, and 0.015±0.035 mg/L respectively, from MH, FH, CL, and LT. It was found that, the concentration of trace metals in cobwebs decreases as the harmattan, burning of dumpsite, and school activities decrease. In general, the total concentration of all elements varied from 10.388 mg/L assessed at male hostel (MH) to 0.002 mg/L at lecture theatre (LT). The values recorded for all the element may be due to the use of cosmetic; dust, heating equipment (stoves, heater, fireplaces), paint, burning of refuses, vehicle emission, insecticide or pesticides usage, tobacco smoke around the study area. The fact that appreciable values of trace metals were recorded in the study area affirmed the presence of unsafe air in the institution. Therefore, there is a need not only to curb activities that increase these trace metals, but also to ensure perennial brooming and removing cobwebs dusts in the institution.

The effect of a giant change in the impedance of ferromagnetic materials under the action of an external magnetic field is widely used to elaborate highly sensitive magnetic field sensors. The purpose of this work was to demonstrate the possibilities of controlling the magnitude of the magnetoimpedance in a ferromagnet-piezoelectric structure using an electric field. Method. In the measurements, we used a planar heterostructure containing a strip of amorphous ferromagnet Metglas, 25 µm thick and 25 mm long, mechanically connected to a bimorph, 0.5 mm thick and 30 mm long, made of piezoceramic lead zirconate titanate. An alternating current with a frequency of 30 kHz...10 MHz was passed through the strip, the structure was placed in a longitudinal permanent magnetic field of 0...500 Oe, an alternating electric field up to 400 V/cm with a frequency of 60 Hz...50 kHz was applied to the piezobimorph, and the change in the impedance of the strip was recorded. Results. In the absence of electric field, a narrowing of the magnetoimpedance magnetic fields region with a decrease in the current frequency and saturation of the magnetoimpedance in magnetic fields above 334 Oe were observed. The maximum value of the magnetoimpedance reached 18% at a current frequency of 1 MHz. The application of electric field to the piezobimorph led to the appearance of side components in the frequency spectrum of the voltage on the ferromagnetic layer, which indicates the amplitude-phase modulation of the magnetoimpedance. The amplitude modulation coefficient reached a maximum value of 6 · 10−3 for the electric field frequency of 11.2 kHz and decreased monotonically with an increase in the magnetic field. The modulation of the magnetoimpedance occurs due to the converse magnetoelectric effect in the heterostructure, which leads to the modulation of the magnetization of the ferromagnetic layer, and the subsequent change in the relative magnetic permeability and thickness of the skin layer in the ferromagnet. The results obtained can be used to create magnetic fields sensors controlled by an electric field.

One of the key elements for modern microwave circuits is a delay line, which is widely utilized for the signal generation as well as processing. Spin-wave delay lines based on ferrite films provide a high delay time and small dimensions. Typically, the performance characteristics of such lines are tuned by the variation of an externally applied magnetic field characterized by some drawbacks. The phenomenon of a metal–insulator transition (MIT) in the phase change materials permits to improve the performance characteristics of the spin-wave delay lines. In particular, this concept allows to reduce the power consumption and improve the control speed of a delay time. Aim. Development of a tunable spin-wave delay line based on ferrite and vanadium dioxide films, as well as the study of its performance characteristics. Methods. Experimental investigations were carried out for the delay line composed of the yttrium iron garnet (YIG) and vanadium dioxide (VO2) films. The ferrite waveguide was fabricated from a single-crystal YIG film grown on a gallium gadolinium garnet substrate. A vanadium dioxide film was formed on a silicon dioxide substrate by DC reactive magnetron sputtering. The microwave measurements were carried out using the vector network analyzer R&S®R ZVA40. Results. It was shown that heating of the VO2 film induces a sufficient drop of its resistance that causes the transformation of the spin-wave dispersion characteristic. This leads to the decrease in the group velocity of the propagating waves providing a growth of a delay time. Namely, experimental structure of 5-mm length offers a tunable time delay range from 130 up to 150 ns at the operating frequency of 4.33 GHz. Conclusion. A proof-of-principle for the MIT control of the delay time composed on the YIG-VO2 structure has been presented. It was shown that a switch of VO2 film from the isolating into conducting state produces a 15% change in the delay time. The considered microwave delay lines look favorable for applications as a complimentary part to the traditional approach for general computing and microwave signal processing.

The purpose of this work is to find out the influence of three-magnon decay processes on the electromotive force (EMF (U)) generated by propagating magnetostatic surface waves (MSSW) with the help of the inverse spin Hall effect in the “yttrium-iron garnet (YIG) – platinum (Pt)” structure. Methods. The experiments were carried out using the delay line structures based on YIG films with the thickness of 8.8 and 14.6 µm, on the surface of which antennas were formed for MSSWs excitation and reception and a Pt film between antennas. Results. It was shown that the three-magnon parametric instability can significantly change the character of EMF dependences on frequency and on power of MSSW that resulted both from the effect of power limitation and from the participation of parametric spin waves (PSW) and secondary spin waves (SSW) in the processes of electron-magnon scattering on the YIG/Pt border. Conclusion. It was demonstrated that the effect of amplification of EMF generation at the frequencies that are close to the long-wavelength border of the MSSW spectrum is related with the PSW and SSW population of the region of anisotropic dipole-exchange spin waves spectrum, which is characterized by the presence of singularities in the magnon density of states (Van Hove singularities).
Spectrum of exchange spin waves in a one-dimensional magnonic crystal with antiferromagnetic ordering
Authors:   Donetsk National University, Poimanov Vladislav
Published: October 2022

Purpose of the study is to show that the conditions for the propagation of exchanged spin waves (ESWs) in an asymmetric superlattice with antiferromagnetically ordered cells depend significantly on the chirality of the precession of the ESW magnetization (polarization, “magnon pseudospin”). Method. When constructing the EWS spectra, the Croning– Penny model (transfer-matrix method) and the Landau–Lifshitz equation are used to determine the nature of the waves in the cells. In the case of a uniaxial medium, there is only one type of ESW, therefore, when fields are joined at the boundary, the conservation of chirality is an essential factor due to which the ESW in one cell is always traveling, and in the other — evanescent. Thus, a superlattice for ESW is an effective periodic “potential” in which asymmetry can be realized either by applying an external field, or by a difference in the thickness and/or physical properties of the cell materials. Results. Based on the analysis of the spectrum, maps of the transmission zones for ESW of different chirality were constructed in three representations — “Bloch wave number – frequency”, “frequency – relative cell thickness”, as well as in the plane of cell wave numbers. It is shown that the presence of asymmetry leads to a difference in the width of the transmission zones for waves of different chirality. For a finite structure, the frequency dependences of the transmission and reflection coefficients of the ESW are plotted. An increase in the attenuation of the ESW near the boundaries of the transmission zones was also found. Conclusion. The results of the study can be used in the design of magnon valves and other devices based on ESW, in which their chirality can be controlled.

Published: October 2022

The purpose of this work is the study of design of new short-circuited coaxial transducer with thin linear jumper, that circuites on both sides of the grounded coaxial cylinder, located above the rectangular iron-yttrium garnet (YIG) film, in homogeneous constant magnetic field with rectangular film along its length or width. The thin linear jumper is directed parallel to the width of the YIG film. Methods. In the CST Microwave Studio environment, an electrodynamic analysis of the model was carried out using the finite element method. To study the efficiency of modes excitation in a ferrite film at different distances between the coaxial transducer and the surface of the YIG film, the frequency dependencies of the inverse losses S11 of the model were calculated. Results. 1. The identification of modes in a homogeneous static magnetic field H, directed parallel to the plane of a rectangular YIG film along its width (y-axis) was carried out. 2. The identification of modes in a homogeneous static magnetic field H directed parallel to the plane of the rectangular YIG film along its length (z-axis) was carried out. 3. A comparison of modes spectra was made at H, directed parallel to the plane of the YIG film along its width (y axis) and length (z axis). Conclusion. In this paper short-circuited transducer with a thin linear jumper, circuited on both sides of the grounded coaxial cylinder, is investigated. By the electrodynamic method distributions of high-frequency magnetic field of the excited magnetostatic modes were calculated and their identification was carried out for two directions of homogeneous static magnetic field: along width and along length of rectangular YIG film. The dependence of number of excited modes on the distance between a short-circuited transducer and rectangular YIG was also studied. A comparison of modes spectra is carried out at H, directed parallel to the plane of the YIG film along its width and length. With this rotation of H vector, the band of effectively excitable modes shifts from 4.6...4.9 GHz to 4.5...4.75 GHz. However, the excitation of these modes in the case of the vector H, directed along the width of YIG film (z-axis), is much more effective in the band 4.65...4.9 GHz than in the case when this vector is directed along the length of YIG film (z-axis). At the same time, excitation of these modes in the case of the vector H, directed along the length of YIG film (z axis) is much more effective in the band 4.4...4.6 GHz.

Purpose of this work is to use analytical and numerical methods to consider the problem of the structure and dynamics of coupled localized nonlinear waves in the sine-Gordon model with impurities (or spatial inhomogeneity of the periodic potential). Methods. Using the analytical method of collective coordinates for the case of the arbitrary number the same point impurities on the same distance each other, differential equation system was got for localized waves amplitudes as the functions on time. We used the finite difference method with explicit scheme for the numerical solution of the modified sine-Gordon equation. We used a discrete Fourier transform to perform a frequency analysis of the oscillations of localized waves calculate numerically. Results. We found of the differential equation system for three harmonic oscillators with the elastic connection for describe related oscillations of nonlinear waves localized on the three same impurity. The solutions obtained from this system of equations for the frequencies of related oscillation well approximate the results of direct numerical modeling of a nonlinear system. Conclusion. In the article shows that the related oscillation of nonlinear waves localized on three identical impurities located at the same distance from each other represent the sum of three harmonic oscillations: in-phase, in-phase-antiphase and antiphase type. The analysis of the influence of system parameters and initial conditions on the frequency and type of associated oscillations is carried out.

The Energy Crisis in Europe and the Prospects for a Low-Carbon Economy
Authors: Uznarodov Igor M.
Published: October 2022

The article is devoted to the prospects of transition to a low-carbon economy in the European Union in the context of the current energy crisis. Today, inexpensive and reliable energy supply is a prerequisite for the economic, social and technological progress of mankind. The EU pays special attention to this area, which is confirmed by the “European Green Dealˮ and other important documents. The central place in the long-term plans of energy policy is occupied by wind and solar generation, as well as hydrogen energy. Despite the efforts being made in this direction, in 2021 the European continent became the scene of an energy crisis. The article discusses its causes simultaneously with the analysis of the weaknesses and strengths of renewable energy sources. The author draws attention to the presence of serious technological and economic problems that need to be solved for a successful transition to green energy. The article concludes that the transition to clean energy sources should be carried out gradually, since renewable energy sources cannot yet replace either gas or nuclear generation. Hasty replacement of these energy sources in the name of short-term political goals is fraught with grave consequences and discredits the very idea of a low-carbon economy.

Published: October 2022

Background: Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) is a common polyphagous pest on corn cob. H. armigera that is controllable through Trichogrammatoidea armigera (Nagaraja) parasitoid release. Successful inundated release of parasitoids depends on parasitization and parasitoid dispersal. Methods: The experiment consisted of 2 parasitoid release plots and 1 no release plot. T. armigera parasitoid was released twice, at 45 DAP and 52 DAP (Day after planting) in the middle of the experimental plot. The dose of parasitoid released during the corn generative phase was 1000 individuals per 254 m2 (~ 40000/ha). Evaluation was carried out by collecting the eggs of H. armigera 3 days after release at radius 1, 3, 6 and 9 m in all cardinal directions from the release point. Result: The release of parasitoids increased the eggs parasitization of H. armigera in 45 DAP tot he tune of 51.91% and 52 DAP was 38.57%. The wind direction did not affect the parasitoid movement which is active and almost uniform in all cardinal directions. Parasitoid movement was slightly similar in all distances and cardinal directions. The distribution of parasitoids reached 9 m from 40 release points ha-1 in colonies. T. armigera parasitoids were grouped hence, the monitoring in corn was carried out systematically.
The Role of Local Actors in the Delivery of Services to Vulnerable Groups in Protracted Crises
Authors: Lenhardt Amanda
Published: October 2022

As the needs of people affected by conflict, natural disasters and other crises grow year-on-year and become increasingly complex, the need for adapted service delivery has become ever more pressing. There is widespread recognition that top-down, externally driven support to service delivery is ineffective in reaching vulnerable populations in need of humanitarian support. Increasing strategic engagement by and with local actors is now an accepted norm for effective international humanitarian action (Metcalfe-Hough et al., 2021). International commitments have been made to improve the provision of services in protracted crises. A body of literature indicates that engaging local actors in service delivery is one of the main ways to achieve improved service delivery. Despite the general acceptance of this principle, progress in achieving more localised responses to protracted crises has been slow. Evidence on how services can most effectively reach those in need is limited.This report reviews available guidance and evidence on the role of local actors in delivering services to those in need of humanitarian support in protracted crises. The report begins with a brief overview of the evolving discourse on the need for better strategies to incorporate local actors in the delivery of services. The following sections review the available evidence on the different ways local actors have been involved in the delivery of basic services in protracted crises. Section 3 examines local actors’ role in identifying the needs of affected communities. Section 4 examines the role of local actors in the effective coordination of service delivery. Section 5 discusses their role in transparency and accountability, and section 6 considers how local actors’ engagement can contribute to the mitigation of further conflict. Much of the literature in this area takes the form of guidance documents produced by international organisations working in humanitarian action. Some of this guidance refers to case study evidence. Still, most appear to refer to stakeholders’ experiences and conceptual approaches to how service delivery happens in protracted crises. There are a range of instruments that have been deployed to improve service delivery in protracted crises – some of which are referred to in this report – which could be formally evaluated to contribute to the evidence base on how such programmes effectively address the needs of vulnerable groups in need for humanitarian support.
Preventing Atrocities in Conflict and Non-conflict Settings
Authors: Idris Iffat
Published: October 2022

Atrocity prevention refers to activities to prevent atrocity crimes against civilians. These include genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity and ethnic cleansing, and can take place in both conflict and non-conflict settings. This points to the need to prioritise and implement atrocity prevention specifically, and not just as part of conflict prevention efforts. Atrocity prevention interventions are broadly of two types: operational (short-term responses) and structural (addressing underlying causes/drivers). These encompass a wide range of approaches including: acting locally (with local actors taking the lead in prevention activities); tackling hate speech, and promoting an independent and strong media; documenting human rights violations, and prosecuting and punishing those responsible (establishing rule of law). The international community should prioritise atrocity prevention, but work in a united manner, take a comprehensive approach, and give the lead to local actors. Atrocity crimes generally develop in a process over time, and risk factors can be identified; these traits make atrocity prevention possible. This rapid review looks at the concept of atrocity prevention, how it is distinct from conflict prevention, the different approaches taken to atrocity prevention, and the lessons learned from these. The review draws on a mixture of academic and grey literature, in particular reports produced by international development organisations such as the United Nations (UN) and USAID. The literature was largely gender-blind (with the exception of conflict-related sexual violence) and disability-blind.
Russian and Kazakh Youth in the Context of National Security: Sociodemographic Aspects
Authors: Rostovskaya Tamara , Yelamanova Ainur
Published: October 2022

The article is devoted to the analysis of sociological studies of the value orientations of Russian and Kazakh youth in the context of national security. The modern youth of Russia and Kazakhstan is a generation born and raised during a period of significant political, social and economic transformations. As a result, the acceleration of the pace of development of society leads to an increase in the role of youth in socio-political, public life. Almost all post-Soviet states are characterized by a crisis of spiritual values, so there are points of contact in the value orientations of Kazakh and Russian youth. The analysis of the results of sociological studies conducted at the inter-country level showed that family and traditional values are characteristic of the life of young people in Russia and Kazakhstan. The study of the value orientations of the youth of the two neighboring countries helps to identify their interests and needs in the modern world, which, in turn, affects the proper development of public policy based on morality, patriotism, and national identity.
Reproductive Processes and Reproductive Installations in Belarus
Authors: Zlotnikov Anatoly
Published: October 2022

The problems of demographic development and, above all, the state of reproductive processes in the Republic of Belarus are considered. Based on their analysis, it is noted that reproductive processes in the country tend to worsen, they generate depopulation processes and pose a threat to demographic security. The article analyzes the results of the population census of the Republic of Belarus in 2019. The interpretation of the census data on the reproductive attitudes of Belarusian women is given. The conclusion is made about the role of the subjective factor in demographic processes and the importance of the active demographic policy of the state. It is noted that the social demographic policy has ceased to be state in recent years, and it is subordinated to the necessary, but departmental interests. The article formulates a provision on the implementation of demographic policy aimed at the formation of prestige of family values, aimed at stimulating medium- and large-child reproductive attitudes.

Authors: Talalaeva Galina
Published: October 2022

The subject of the research is the phenomenon of dissipation of the social identity of young people in modern Russian society. Purpose: to compare the reflection of this phenomenon in the academic and public consciousness. Hypothesis: the dynamics and structure of the idea of the social identity of young people at the present stage of Russia's development is not the same in the academic and public consciousness. The hypothesis was tested on the example of publications included in the RSCI database. There are two categories of publications: 1) scientific journals, dissertations, 2) conference materials. The first reflects ideas about social phenomena in the minds of the academic community; the second is in the mass consciousness of the general scientific community. Search depth 11 years (2012–2021). It included the annexation of Crimea to Russia, pension reform, the C0VID-19 pandemic, and the merger of two social support funds for the population (PF and FSS). The volume of empirical data amounted to 86341 titles of publications. The views of the authors of publications on the phenomenon under study were recorded according to five search queries: “social identity of young people”, “social security”, “social protection”, “social assistance”, “social support”. The algorithm of the relationship between these topics was studied using paired correlation analysis. It was found that the peak of publications for these requests coincided with the three-year period 2016–2018. The reflection of the problem of the social identity of young people in academic publications preceded its active discussion in conference proceedings by 4–6 years. Fundamental differences are found in the ideas about the social identity of young people in the academic and public consciousness. In scientific articles and dissertations, the social identity of young people is considered as a special case of self-organization of complex social systems, in conference materials – as a separate element of a hierarchically built deterministic financial system. The results obtained are regarded by us as proof of the correctness of the null hypothesis put forward. Possible areas of application of the results of the study: youth, social and demographic policy of the state at a new stage of socio-economic reforms. The limitation for the implementation of the research results in the practice of social management may be the effect of inertial public opinion and mass consciousness, as well as the financial interests of individual lobbies currently involved in the implementation of social projects. Directions for future research – targeted monitoring of the transformation of the mass in accordance with the requirements of the modern technological revolution.

Despite the increase in the share of young people in the total population, associated with an increase in the boundaries of youth age, the dynamics of the number of young people in Russia is decreasing. The level of vocational education of young people is growing, the level of their employment in 2017–2020 also showed an upward trend and exceeded the all-Russian employment indicator. Probably, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the employment rate of all age groups has decreased. In the same period of 2017–20202, the highest levels of employment were typical for groups aged 30–34 and 25–29 years (85.7% and 83.3%, respectively). In younger age groups, the employment rate is 48.5% – 20–24 years, 5.3% – 15–19 years. Since 2017, there has been a trend of increasing youth unemployment. The proportion of young people employed in the informal sector remains high, especially in the age categories of 15–19 years and 20–24 years. For modern youth, the problem of precarious employment is relevant, the main elements of which have been studied and summarized by the staff of the Russian State University for the Humanities under the leadership of Toshchenko Zh. T. The research materials may be of interest to specialists involved in the development of managerial decisions in the areas of state youth policy, employment promotion and youth employment policy, as well as researchers of the identified problems.
Psychological competencies in the system of professional growth of sales managers
Authors: Koval Nina A. , Surenskaia Nataliia S.
Published: October 2022

Abstract. Sales management is a rather difficult profession. The competencies of a good specialist in this field are universal and fairly well studied. At the same time, such competencies contain both personal qualities that are extremely difficult to change (for example, extroversion) and skills that can be mastered (for example, negotiation skills). The research analyzes the further improvement of the competencies of sales managers during their professional improvement – support of strategically important clients. The main method of research was an analytical review of the scientific literature on the topic. As a result of the review, we compiled a map of the development of psychological competencies of a sales manager working with strategic clients. Such competencies include four main groups: personality traits (extroversion, stress tolerance, emotional stability, etc.); cognitive adaptive processes (accuracy in judgments, self-monitoring, communication, coordination, knowledge about customers and products); cognitive and motivational skills in need of development (skills of building long-term relationships, conflict resolution, cross-cultural communication, negotiation skills, in-depth understanding of the client, a high level of openness and trust in relationships, as well as their ethics); new competencies that should be mastered for the successful performance of activities in the field of strategic sales (“entrepreneurial” abilities, creativity, self-identification as a SAM specialist, management and leadership skills, “internal” sales skills). Thus, the developed competence structure can be used in organizing the professional development of sales managers.

A seleção semântica do advérbio de maneira "bem" expõe uma estrutura de eventos no vp
Authors: Gomes Ana Paula Quadros , Medeiros Alessandro Boechat de
Published: October 2022

Neste trabalho analisamos o advérbio bem com leitura de maneira modificando sintagmas verbais do português brasileiro. Partindo da visão de que o sintagma verbal pode ser decomposto em uma estrutura de eventos sintaticamente representada, defendemos que bem de maneira seleciona semanticamente subeventualidades durativas (estados ou processos), e sempre será licenciado em sintagmas verbais que possuam algum componente durativo em sua estrutura de eventos. Na seção final do artigo, mostramos como essa perspectiva explica até mesmo a ocorrência do advérbio bem de maneira em sintagmas verbais encabeçados por verbos tipicamente classificados como culminações (achievements). Com isso, acreditamos que o artigo forneça não só uma descrição robusta das propriedades do advérbio sob análise (pelo menos em sua interpretação de maneira) como também um argumento a favor de pensarmos a estrutura do sintagma verbal não como uma estrutura projetada por um item, mas um arranjo sintático-semântico no qual uma raiz verbal pode ser licenciada.
