Authors: Mogali Sahana M. , Qureshi M. Faraz
Published: June 2023

Background: The aim was to compare efficacy of methylprednisolone with dexamethasone in moderate to severe COVID-19 patients in a tertiary care hospital.
Method: A retrospective observational study was conducted by collecting data of moderate to severe COVID-19 patients admitted to covid wards of a tertiary care hospital for a period of six months. Demographic data, information about SpO2 changes, duration of hospitalization, marker status and ventilation status were parameters collected and used to compare between two groups.
Results: Total number of patients in this study were 130. Out of which 65 patients who were on Methylprednisolone belonged to group A and 65 patients taking dexamethasone belonged to group B. In group A 56 (86.2%) were males and 9 (13.8%) were females. In group B 51 (78.5%) were males and 14 (21.5%) were females. Mean age in group A was 54.75±14.96 (age range b/w 25-80 years) and in group B was 55.43±15.83 (age range between 23-84 years). Patients in group A showed more presence of comorbidity (44.6%) as compared to group B (32.3%). Mean SpO2 level on day 1 in group A was 86.37±7.58 and in group B was 88.11±4.38. On day of discharge mean SpO2 level was 95.05±1.54 in group A and 94.63±2.09 in group B. Mean length of hospital stay in group A was 9.78±7.38 and in group B was 7.88±4.76. Improvement in marker status for group A was 100% and for group B 95.4%. Ventilation status in both groups showed 100% improvement.
Conclusions: Both steroids are effective in management of moderate to severe COVID-19 patients.

Authors: Shankpal Pramod D. , Patil Madhura P.
Published: June 2023

Background: Skin diseases contribute largely to global disease burden. Antimicrobial agents are used for treatment of various skin diseases of microbial aetiology caused by fungi, bacteria, viruses and ectoparasites. The primary objective of this study was to study the prescription pattern of antimicrobial agents in dermatology, to provide insights into the disease patterns, profile of the drugs used and their rationality.
Methods: Cross-sectional observational study was conducted in dermatology outpatient department of T. N. M. C. and B. Y. L. Nair Charitable Hospital, Mumbai for period of 6 months. 372 prescriptions containing an antimicrobial agent (AMA) were analysed. Demographic data, disease pattern, associated comorbidities and prescription details were recorded after taking written informed consent.
Results: Fungal infections were the most common (48%) followed by bacterial infections (31%). The most encountered condition was dermatophytosis. Average number of AMA per prescription was 2.33±0.73. Percentage of AMA prescribed by generic name was 48%. Percentage of AMA prescribed from National list of essential medicines 2015 (NLEM) was 32.60%. 87.9% of AMA were prescribed as combination therapy and 12.10% were prescribed as monotherapy. The commonest prescribed drugs were antifungals followed by antibiotics. Topical creams were the commonest prescribed dosage form.
Conclusions: The most common class of antimicrobial agents prescribed was antifungal agents. Prescribing combination of oral antimicrobials with topical antimicrobials was found to be high. This study provides a framework for continuous prescription audit of antimicrobials in an outpatient setting and thus can help in rational use of antimicrobials in dermatological prescribing.
A review on antibiotics induced nephrotoxicity
Authors: Abishek A. , Venkateswaramurthy N.
Published: June 2023

One of the common causes of acute kidney injury (AKI) is drug nephrotoxicity. AKIs around 20-60% in hospitalised patients are caused by drug-induced nephrotoxicity, which is also linked to higher morbidity and death both in children and adults. Antibiotics are one of the most frequently prescribed drug classes worldwide and, also one of the leading contributors to nephrotoxicity. Nephrotoxicity has been related to a wide range of antimicrobial medications, although the characteristics of kidney damage vary depending on the agent, the site of toxicity and the mechanism of injury within the renal. Acute tubular necrosis, acute interstitial nephritis, crystal nephropathy, and proximal/distal tubulopathy with electrolyte problems are the most frequent mechanisms. Pre-existing chronic renal disease and concurrent use of medications with nephrotoxic potential are two general risk factors for antimicrobial-induced AKI. The various types of antimicrobial-induced nephrotoxicity especially antibiotics will be discussed in this review and offer guidance on how to prevent AKI and recognize it early in order to reduce it and prevent morbidity.

Published: June 2023

Background: Dengue fever is one of the most important emerging vector-borne viral diseases. Approximately 500,000 out of 100 million cases develop severe dengue infection. Dengue infection is endemic to Bangladesh and presents with varying degrees of severity of illness in Bangladeshi children. Objectives was to assess the common clinical profile, biochemical findings associated with severe dengue fever, and their outcome in children less than 14 years of age.
Methods: This was an observational study conducted from April 2022 to October 2022 at the Pediatrics Department of Dhaka Medical College Hospital and Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Results: A total of 150 cases were classified as severe dengue. The most common age of presentation was 6-8 years. The most common presenting symptom was fever (97.3%) followed by abdominal pain and vomiting (77.3%) followed by shock in 94 cases (62.7%) of severe dengue. Pleural effusion was the most common physical finding seen in 70 cases (46.6%) followed by ascites in 52 cases (34.7%). Elevation in aspartate transaminase AST (IU/L) was found in 60.0%, low albumin was found in 78.7% of the cases. Hyponatremia was the most common electrolyte abnormality found in 70 cases (46.7%). Regarding coagulation profile raised D-dimer and low fibrinogen were found in 106 cases (70.7%) and 84 cases (56.0%) respectively. Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) was prolonged in 37.3% of cases. The case fatality rate (CFR) was (5.3%).
Conclusions: Abdominal pain and vomiting, shock, as-cities and pleural effusion were dominant features of severe disease. Raised AST and D-dimer, low fibrinogen and albumin level as well as hyponatremia are very significant findings in severe disease. Early suspicion and effective management can reduce the severity.

Authors: Gogra Keerti , Beniwal Mukesh , Patel Palak , R. S. Ajmal , Sengar Ghanshyam Singh , Dara Pawan , Sharma Neha
Published: June 2023

Background: Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease for which there is a known environmental trigger i.e., gluten. Adherence to gluten-free diet is the mainstay of treatment.
Methods: This observational prospective study was conducted in the Department of Paediatrics, SP Medical College, Bikaner between August 2020 to August 2021. Newly diagnosed celiac disease patients below 14 years of age were included in the study excluding patients with any associated co-morbid conditions like Diabetes, Hypertension and Hypothyroidism. IgA-tTG titre and complete blood counts were performed at the time of diagnosis, and repeated after 3 months of strict gluten-free diet. The collected data were coded, tabulated and analysed. P values < 0.05 were statistically significant.
Results: The mean IgA-tTG decreased from 116.28 at the time of diagnosis to 50.98 after 3 months of the gluten-free diet (p = <0.001). Also, the mean MPV decreased from 9.58 to 9.19 and the change was statistically significant (p = 0.032). When two biomarkers i.e., MPV and IgA-tTG were compared as being better biomarkers for the gluten-free diet, a weak positive correlation was observed but was not statistically significant (p = 0.212).
Conclusions: This study showed that Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) levels can be used as a short-term biomarker to check adherence to the gluten-free diet.

Campylobacter infection is a common cause of bacterial gastroenteritis in children. However, it typically presents with symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. We reported an unusual case of Campylobacter diarrhea in a 12-week-old infant who initially presented with decreased appetite and blood in stool, without fever or diarrhea. Then subsequently infant had developed fever and diarrhea. The case highlights the importance of considering atypical presentations of Campylobacter infection in young infants, leading to timely diagnosis and appropriate management.
Unusual presentation and rare association of pediatric lupus
Authors: Krishna Anoop , Joseph Susy , Krishnan Rekha , Krishnan Ajith
Published: June 2023

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic multisystem autoimmune inflammatory disorder with diverse clinical manifestations which can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. Children and adolescents represent 15% to 20% of all patients with SLE. Childhood onset SLE is a rare disease with a prevalence of 3.5 to 8.8 per one lakh children. Localized or generalized lymphadenopathy may be an uncommon presenting feature of SLE. None of the classification criteria for SLE include lymphadenopathy as a criterion including the latest 2019 American college of rheumatology (ACR) / European league against rheumatism (EULAR) criteria. Nine-year-old female child presented with history of swelling on both sides of neck associated with fever and easy fatiguability for 2 months. Clinical examination revealed significant bilateral cervical and axillary lymph nodes with hepatomegaly. Excision biopsy of lymph node was suggestive of Kikuchi Fujimoto disease (KFD). As rare association of KFD with SLE is well described in literature, despite negative clinical features and laboratory findings of SLE, including an initial negative ANA IF test, we did a repeat ANA IF, complement (C3) level and dsDNA testing, all of which turned out to be positive, confirming the diagnosis of SLE. The child was started on hydroxychloroquine and oral steroids with dramatic response. During steroid tapering she developed a flare needing the addition of azathioprine. Currently she is in remission and is under follow up. Although rare, lupus lymphadenopathy may be a presenting feature of SLE. This can even antecede the diagnosis of SLE by many years, when the presence of auto antibodies or low complement levels are not detected and are associated with higher disease activity. This emphasizes the importance of high index of suspicion of SLE in cases of lymphadenopathy, enabling early diagnosis and management which is essential for preventing morbidity and mortality.

Authors: Rao Shirish , Kumar Ankit , Pandit Niraj , Jain Nidhi , Khatri Karthik , Bodhanwala Minnie , Venkatesh Sumitra
Published: June 2023

Delay in discharge of the patient reduces bed availability in any healthcare organization. In spite of advancement in medical systems and hospital management, delay in patient discharges still exist. Hence, there was a need to evaluate factors contributing to the delay in an exclusive paediatric hospital. A study of patient discharges from a private and a general ward was undertaken at a tertiary care paediatric hospital in Mumbai, between September-October 2021. A total of 60 discharges, 30 from each ward were analysed. The time from discharge order given by the consultant to that of the patient leaving the hospital and the reasons for delay were recorded by the investigators. The hospital followed a policy of 180 min for a discharge. The mean duration of discharge in the general ward was 153.18±34.60 min and whereas it was 165.41±62.29 min in the private ward. However, 28% discharges in general ward and 43% discharges in private ward were delayed with a mean of 5.23±10.04 and 20.66±26.88 min respectively. Time taken for billing and making of discharge sheet contributed to the maximum delay in both wards. Though the mean discharge time in both wards was found to be within the standards, a significant proportion were still delayed. We suggest a multidisciplinary team consisting of administrators, nurses, resident doctors and consultants to help ease the overall burden on the healthcare system.

Published: June 2023

Background: The aim of our study is to compare the maternal mortality between those who are infected with COVID-19 infection and those who are not. Our study was done at Maharani Laxmi Bai Medical College, Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh, which included 2 groups: group 1- pregnant women with COVID-19 infection, and group 2- pregnant women without COVID-19 infection.
Methods: Our study is prospective and comparative study, done over 250 antenatal patients admitted at our centre, with COVID-19 infection status confirmed either by rapid antigen testing, or by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)/TruNaat testing who had signs and symptoms of COVID-19 infection along with those who needed obstetric intervention or had a high-risk pregnancy status.
Results: Preterm labor accounted for the maternal complication with a majority in COVID-19 infected maternal group. Maternal mortality did not increase amongst patients affected with COVID-19 infection within our study duration.
Conclusions: Maternal mortality thus did not seem to be affected much by the COVID-19 pandemic probably due to the low infectivity and fatality of third wave was low.

Published: June 2023

In the last 10 to 15 years, nearly 12% of all pregnancies ended in abortion in the first trimester (12 weeks of gestation), and recent data show that 80% of first trimester abortions occur before 10 weeks of gestation. Septic abortion is the result of an unsafe abortion. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), septic abortion occurs due to the termination of an unwanted pregnancy by an unfit person or the handling of an abortion in an environment that does not meet medical standards, or both. We report the case of a 21-year-old woman with G3P2002 with septic abortion + observation of decreased consciousness + acute kidney injury + electrolyte imbalance + transaminitis. The patient was brought by her family to the emergency department of Wangaya Hospital Denpasar with the main complaint of decreased consciousness, fever and weakness. The patient was diagnosed with incomplete abortion at 6 weeks gestation by an obstetrician but the patient did not seek medical treatment to evacuate the remaining tissue. The patient was dilated and curetted with oxytocin protection and antibiotics meropenem and levofloxacin. Postoperatively the patient was admitted to the intensive care unit for general improvement and continued electrolyte correction. after 2 days of treatment the patient experienced a decline in condition and was later declared dead. Treatment of septic abortion begins with rapid and accurate recognition of infection of the placenta and remaining conceptions, genital and blood cultures, administration of fluids and antibiotics, and immediate evacuation of infected products of conception.

ABOUT THE CONSTANT IN THE MODERN METHODOLOGY OF TEACHING RUSSIAN
Authors: Scriabina Olga A.
Published: June 2023

The relevance of the research problem is due to the need to establish the methodological foundations of modern methods of teaching the Russian language as an independent field of scientific knowledge, the vectors of its development. The author focuses on the analysis of the axiological approach created by A.D.Deikina. The purpose of the article is to determine the potential of axiological linguometrics, to clarify its philosophical, psychological, didactic and methodological foundations. The use of theoretical methods in the study allowed us to establish the following: 1) the axiological approach is the basic category of the methodology – the meta-approach; 2) "Russian (native) language is value" is the essence of an axiological constant; 3) axiological linguometrics, being a strategic direction, a meta–approach, has a significant impact on the development of various vectors of scientific knowledge based on the axiological constant. The article proves the dominant position of the axiological approach in a number of existing approaches, on the basis of which a personality develops and its value orientation, meta-subject and subject skills are formed.

All of the above requires special preparation for the lessons from the teacher.
TEACHING FOREIGN LANGUAGE DIALOGUE AT PRIMARY LEVEL
Authors: Mikheeva Tatyana B. , Antibas Irina A.
Published: June 2023

The study of the communicative structures of dialogic speech in the linguistic and pedagogical aspect remains a topical issue. The solution of the issue of organising guided dialogic communication of learners is directly linked to the task of taking into account the communicative needs underlying the implementation of the different principles of foreign language teaching. The sequence and way in which the tasks and exercises of teaching foreign-language dialogue are carried out are close to the process of real communication, which is facilitated by the use of speech situations and role-play elements. Elements of role-playing become factors of additional optimization of the process of impact on the participants of communication. The order of practicing dialogical structures containing the studied grammatical phenomena in the system of exercises differs by the sequence of deployment of situations in which they function and are presented in macrodialogues corresponding to the needs of real communication. The aim of the article is to show the possibilities of speech exercises used in teaching dialogues in the target language (Russian), to describe the principles of linguodidactics and to reveal the specifics of the initial stage of teaching foreign-language dialogical speech.
FROM TV TO THE INTERNET: EXPLORATION ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF CHINESE DOCUMENTARY
Authors: Liu Jinchen
Published: June 2023

In the era of Chinese traditional media, documentaries mainly use TV and movies as media. With the development of Internet technology, documentaries gradually take network communication as the main communication channel. The communication channel of documentary has changed from a single traditional form of media to a multi-media system with the web as the core. Apart from propaganda and education as the basic functions, documentary also began to be entertaining. Taking the police documentary "Guarding Jiefang West" produced by bilibili, one of the most important media platforms in China, as an example, this paper analyzes the development of Chinese documentaries from TV to the Internet over recent years and the characteristics of web documentary.

CHEKHOV'S PLAY THE “THREE SISTERS” AND THE PLAY'S SOUND PALETTE: PROBLEMS OF INTERPRETATION
Authors: Bigildinskaya Olga V.
Published: June 2023

Chekhov's drama “Three Sisters” is the richest of all Chekhov's plays in terms of sound design – despite a number of scientific works devoted to the sound score of the play, it still attracts the attention of researchers in this aspect. Today it seems relevant to consider the sounds, noises, musical fragments of the drama, recorded by the author in the remarks and text, constituting an integral part with the semantic field of the drama. This article shows that the sound concept of the play was carefully thought out by Chekhov in relation to the images he created and the events unfolding in the play – for each act and the play as a whole, and therefore the sound palette of the drama is its integral part and should be read by the directors as part of the author's intention. Examples of sound design of several significant performances in the history of the world theater of different years staged by K.S. Stanislavsky, Vl.I. Nemirovich-Danchenko, A.V. supplementing the article, actualize attention to the sound palette of the play and expand the possibilities of interpreting the Chekhov’s play.
CHEKHOV AND SHOLOKHOV: REGULATED INTERSECTIONS
Authors: Larionova Marina Ch.
Published: June 2023

Unregulated intersections, according to E.A. Yablokov, are artistic rapprochement of writers not connected to each other biographically. At first glance, the oeuvres of Chekhov and Sholokhov form such an unregulated intersection. However, it is seemingly unregulated, seemingly uncrossed. The article highlights the commonality of writers, who belonged to one ethno-cultural space. The author indicates the consilience of functions of the image of steppe in Chekhov’s short-stories and Sholokhov’s epic novel The Silent Don (Tikhy Don), the similarities and differences when it comes to the writers focus on the Cossacks and related issues. Thus, the comparison of the writers may be both within their typological commonality and genetic succession.
TWO ALLUSIONS IN «AND QUIET FLOWS THE DON»: M.A. SHOLOKHOV AND G.R. DERZHAVIN
Authors: Vasiliev Sergey A.
Published: June 2023

The comparison between G.R. Derzhavin's works and M.A. Sholokhov's creation is done for the first time. Sholokhov studied in three gymnasiums so with no doubt he knew Derzhavin's works, which were mentioned in A.D Galakhov's schoolbook. Derzhavin's poetry was in Sholokhov's library. Both of the writers had interest in the synthesis of arts. We can find Derzhavin's allusions in «And Quiet Flows the Don». For example, in interior (Shtokman's conversation at the mill) and in the portrait of Tatiana – Grigori’s daughter. These examples bring new artistic functions.

Analysis of Research Papers on the Use of English Movies in Chinese Senior High School English Teaching in the Past Three Years
Authors: Lin Peiyuan , Mei Hong
Published: June 2023

Much attention has been paid to using English movies in senior high school English teaching in China since the release of 2017 edition of Senior High School English Curriculum Standards that lists English Movie Appreciation as an optional compulsory course. Senior high school teachers have conducted substantial research over the past three years regarding the practical application of English movies in their teaching, yet there has been a lack of thorough and systematic of analysis of the large number of relevant papers published, which, more or less, limits the understanding and further advancements of this study area. This paper attempts, in light of the emerging systematic review methodology, to present an overview of the research papers spanning the period 2019 to 2022 on the use of English movies in Chinese senior high school from the four perspectives: language ability, cultural awareness, thinking quality, and learning ability based on the concept of core literacy of English as an academic discipline in the new curriculum standard. With focus on the discussion of the common problems and corresponding countermeasures that have been sorted out from the works of front-line teachers, the paper also puts forward suggestions and prospects for further studies.

La dama del laberinto ; Perro muerto ; Historia de un gol peruano
Authors: Bushby Alfredo
Published: June 2023

Las tres piezas incluidas en este volumen abordan, cada una a su manera, diversos aspectos de la identidad, su búsqueda, su pérdida, su engaño. Se trata de una identidad nacional recreada a través de los pasadizos de La dama del laberinto, los basurales de Perro muerto y las canchas de Historia de un gol peruano. Pero es, sobre todo, la identidad individual, real o aparente, la que da a estas piezas su valor e impacto. Niños y mendigos, nobles y adolescentes, artistas y prostitutas, todos conviven y deambulan en un Perú imaginario (pero abrumadoramente real) convertido en una suerte de «Ningún lugar» en el que nadie parece conocer su propio destino. Las complejas estructuras de estos dramas contribuyen paradójicamente a hacer más claro un orden que, eventualmente, se revela como aun más caótico. De esta manera, con este primer libro, encontramos en Alfredo Bushby a un autor maduro y de calidad sorprendente.

Melalui pendekatan teori media Marxist, Amerika Serikat hendak menunjukan wajahnya yang bersahabat kepada semua negara bersamaan dengan mempertahankan image sebagai negara penguasa dan polisi dunia. Amerika Serikat secara sadar menerapkan kemapanan status quo sebagai negara adidaya. Kondisi ekonomi-politik yang berkembang di suatu negara, mempunyai hubungan yang saling menentukan dipengaruhi oleh kondisi ekonomi-politik global.

Objective: Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is an oxidative stress factor. The aim of the study is to evaluate impact of CO intoxication on thiol/disulfide homeostasis (TDH), an important antioxidative system of the body.
Methods: This is a prospective study included 84 participants in each group. Blood samples were taken two time in study group (CO intoxication group), before and at the end of the 3rd hour of normobaric oxygen therapy and once in the control group. TDH parameters were studied with an automated assay developed by Erel et al. Statistical analysis done with SPSS program.
Results: Among thiol/disulfide homeostasis parameters, in study group native (sh) and total thiol (tt) levels in samples taken at the beginning of the oxygen treatment were significantly higher than sh and tt levels of the control group [Study group sh: 399.70 μmoll−1 (354.50-423.65), tt: 439.1 μmoll−1 (390.9-467.3) and control group sh: 362.95 μmoll−1 (321.95-401.25), tt: 396.1 μmoll−1 (358.5-435), p=0.01 and p<0.001 respectively]. There was no difference between the groups in term of other TDH parameters. TDH parameters were measured after 3-hour normobaric oxygen treatment, and it was shown sh and tt levels were significantly reduced after treatment.
Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that among TDH parameters native and total thiol levels were increasing in patients with CO poisoning and those levels were decreasing in time during normobaric oxygen treatment.
La gramaticalización de las locuciones preposicionales con miras a y con miras de a partir de su análisis en los corpus CORDE y CREA
Authors: Vásquez-Bustos Víctor , Ramírez Fuentes Yesenia
Published: June 2023

El presente estudio aborda un rastreo histórico de las locuciones preposicionales del español con miras a y con miras de en el Corpus Diacrónico del Español (CORDE) y el Corpus de Referencia del Español Actual (CREA). En específico, se asume como objetivo de investigación describir la gramaticalización en la formación de las locuciones preposicionales con miras a y con miras de, y su relación con la conceptualización metafórica de dichas formas en los corpus CORDE y CREA. Para cumplir con este objetivo se tienen en cuenta los estudios sobre la gramaticalización (Traugott y König, 1991; Traugott, 2003; Elvira, 2015) y la metáfora desde la lingüística cognitiva (Lakoff y Johnson, 2015 [1980]). Asimismo, se examina la evolución de la forma miras desde su funcionamiento como unidad léxica libre hasta su integración en las locuciones preposicionales con valor (más) funcional con miras a y con miras de. En este sentido, se tuvieron en cuenta las co-ocurrencias y relaciones entre dicho ítem nominal y los elementos prenominales (con) y postnominales (de/a). Igualmente, se aplicaron tres de las pruebas que propone Cifuentes Honrubia (2003) para comprobar el grado de fijación y cohesión interna de los elementos compositivos de las locuciones estudiadas. Como resultado se observa que existe un fenómeno de gramaticalización en curso de las locuciones con miras a y con miras de, que progresa desde el comportamiento léxico del núcleo miras hasta su fijación en la estructura [preposición + nombre + preposición]. En términos cognitivos, se expresan tres dominios fundamentales en la forma miras: uno vinculado con la percepción visual; un segundo, relacionado con el intelecto y un tercero, con las acciones en general.
Mobilization Model of Science Management: Pro et Contra
Authors: Fonotov Andrey
Published: June 2023

The conditions, prospects and consequences of using the mobilization management model (hereinafter MM) in science are considered. It is shown that the problem of mobilization arises when politics invades the economy in order to force it to switch to achieving goals that are beyond the current and prospective economic environment.
To this end, the economic mechanisms that regulate economic activity are replaced by a system of priorities for the concentration of quality resources in the areas of their own reproduction, ensuring the highest possible growth rates of quality resources over a certain period. The change in the direction of resource flows is carried out by discriminating against non-priority industries, giving rise to technological imbalance and qualitative heterogeneity of the production apparatus. The gap between the priority sphere and the rest of the economy under conditions of mobilization can only grow, leading in time to its disorganization.
The situation of mobilization creates extremely disastrous conditions for scientific and innovative activity. Within the framework of the administrative-command system, the scientific ethos is destroyed, and the scientist turns from a researcher and creator into an official-manager for access and interpretation of new knowledge, functionally merging with the state bureaucracy.
The logic of events arising from the use of the mobilization management model leads to destructive and disorganizing results. Its limited application is possible only within the framework of individual projects, an indispensable condition for the implementation of which is the existence of an independent system of regulation and control and a strict time frame for its work.
Mobilised, Isolated and Hybrid Forms of Scientific Activity
Authors: Egerev Sergey
Published: June 2023

The paper discusses different versions of the definition of mobilised, isolated and hybrid scientific activity. The paper traces the evolution of mobilization projects during the Soviet epoch. The case of Gordon Research Conferences as an instrument of intensification of scientific exchanges in the isolated format is considered. Examples of contemporary successful and unsuccessful mobilization projects are presented. The success of a project depends on a correct estimation of necessary resources, on the degree of concentration of research potential, as well as on the task formulation. Re-engineering, integration and adaptation of existing solutions are preferred as feasible tasks for mobilization projects.
On Options for Mobilizing Scientific and Technological Activities in Modern Russia
Authors: Skazochkin Aleksandr
Published: June 2023

The article is devoted to the analysis of three possible options for the mobilization of scientific and technological activities in Russia: micromobilization – when creating two or more competitive groups of researchers dealing with similar topics; when conducting technological competitions, the essence of which is to solve specific problems in the presence of an objective system of comparison; and mobilization of the scientific and technological complex on a national scale, in the transition to the functioning of the country in an unstable mode. A brief description of the evolution of the domestic scientific and technological complex over the past thirty years is presented; the need to establish a coordinating body for the processes taking place in the scientific and technological sphere was emphasized, especially when the economy is oriented towards internal development; it is proposed to strengthen control over information flows generated by the subjects of the scientific and technological sphere. Particular attention is paid to the problems of personnel policy in science, taking into account the specifics of the profession.
Mobilization Approach to Science Management: between Ideology and Technology
Authors: Semenov Evgeny
Published: June 2023

The forced use of mobilization technologies in the modernization of Russian society, including primarily the technological modernization of the economy, has become inevitable in current conditions. The scale of application of mobilization models and activities, their combination with the market environment are the subject of analysis. Scientific production, as part of the economy and part of society, cannot remain aloof from these changes. And it is very important that simplified schemes of organization and governance are not transferred to science, but that it adapts to new conditions, which is acceptable for science, i.e. academic freedoms were preserved as much as possible and self-organization developed. Mobilization in science without harm to science and for the benefit of society is possible in the form of the development of project-based form of financing and organization of fundamental research, as well as in the form of programs and projects of a full-cycle research and development.
