PRACTICES OF OBLIGATING THE PEOPLES OF SIBERIA BY THE OATH OF ALLEGIANCE IN THE 17TH CENTURY
Authors:   Institute of History, Siberian Branch of the RAS, Slugina Viktoriya A. ,   Novosibirsk State University
Published: March 2022

At the beginning of the 17th century, Russia’s central government ordered the peoples of Siberia to swear oaths of allegiance (shert’). The oath text determines that the one who takes the oath becomes a subject of the Russian monarch. The government appealed to the oath in case of conflicts with the peoples of Siberia or for avoiding such conflicts in negotiations. The Siberian peoples had to renew their oath whenever the tsar changed (and the nomadic peoples of Siberia had to renew their oath whenever their leader changed as well). The government also called on the oath when replacing governors in Russian towns, for which it introduced a special procedure — the proclamation of the “grand sovereign word”, or when negotiating with “traitors” (participants of armed rebellions and escapes of Siberian natives from their lands to territories beyond the control of Russia’s authorities). The return to peaceful conditions of coexistence was realized through renewing the oath. The author found that, by the second half of the 17th century, both sides of political communication — representatives of the tsarist administration and Siberian foreigners — have developed stable tactics regarding the procedures for the renewal of oaths, but they interpreted the meaning of the oaths in different ways.

Published: March 2022

The environmental conditions inside the poultry building have a significant impact on animal health. The ventilation system is a key factor in the environment features. This work seeks to find a standard method to calculate the main aspects of ventilation systems. A building (120 m long, 12 m wide and 4 m average height) was selected as an example in this research. As the fans were the key elements of the ventilation system so there is an essential request to define the number of fans and their capacities. These fans running are controlled by either timer or thermostat. Selecting the inlets gates will encourage a significant impact on ventilation efficiency. The translation ventilation and tunnel ventilation were calculated. The evaporative cooling was investigated and the size pads were determined as well as considered as a part of the ventilation system. Keywords: Ventilation, poultry building, fans, inlets, tunnel, thermostat.

Relevance. Irrigation of the greenhouse soil plays an important role in the cultivation of greenhouses plants. Given the significant number of existing systems and methods on monitoring and irrigation of soil in the world, there are almost no systems that are based on fuzzy logic taking into account the growing season plants factor. Consequently, an urgent scientific task arises on developing of the monitoring a method of the greenhouse soil moisture content taking into account the types and periods of the greenhouse crops growing season. Purpose. Development of the method and implementation of the system prototype on monitoring and control of the greenhouse soils moisture content based on the fuzzy logic rules taking into account the types and periods of plants vegetation. Methodology. In course of the research, the following methods have been used: analysis and systematization of well-known scientific and applied results, experimental tests of computer-integrated equipment, synthesis and testing of hardware and software computer models on systems automation, comparative analysis of the modeling and experimental tests results. Results. The main scientific and applied results include: the algorithm and model for assessing plant parameters from the growing season, the mathematical model of the soil moisture dynamics, the fuzzy rules base for moisture control taking into account the types and periods of the agricultural crops, an experimental full-scale model of the computer-integrated system. Scientific novelty. The method of the computer-integrated monitoring and control of the greenhouse soils moisture content based on fuzzy logic has been developed, which, unlike the known ones, takes into account the influence of types and periods of growing crops, which allows precision control of relative humidity in real time.

Published: March 2022

While the cultivation of modern biotechnology products was adopted by producers very fast, the consumer acceptance of these products has not evolved at the same pace. Despite multiple benefits associated with genetically modified organisms (GMO), some potential risks related to the environment, health and economy have increased concerns and affected consumer confidence. This article examines the relationship between knowledge and confidence levels for biosafety and GMOs, and the sociodemographic characteristics of professionals working in the fields of food, agriculture and veterinary medicine, with a view to assess their perception. Questionnaires were applied to 261 individuals, selected by the proportional sampling method among professionals, the numbers of whom were obtained from the relevant unions and chambers. Then frequency, percentage distribution and factor analyses were carried out on data obtained. In conclusion food engineering professionals, men and more knowledgeable participants in biotechnology were found to have a more positive approach towards GMOs and more confidence in the biosafety system. It is indisputable that the scientific knowledge is essential for a reliable biosafety mechanism. Therefore, the inclusion of courses on GMOs and biosafety into curricula and planning in-service trainings may significantly contribute to the development of scientific knowledge thus, improving attitudes towards GMOs.

Published: March 2022

The article focuses on the internationalization of dictionary language personality as a result of the interaction of global English with multiple languages and cultures. The concept of dictionary language personality is defined as a language personality (a native speaker of the national language) represented in the dictionary. To tackle the problem, we turn to the analysis of the English-language learner’s dictionary, as it represents the quintessence of carefully selected common vocabulary of a native speaker and reflects the national picture of the world. The units of analysis are the North-East Asian borrowings in the Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary. Having entered the English-language dictionary as headwords, borrowings on the one hand represent the elements of foreignlanguage cultures and on the other hand they have been assimilated into the lingua-culture of a dictionary language personality
ORIGINS OF THE EXPRESSIVE EMOTIVE STYLE IN THE LIFE OF AVVAKUM
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University., M.M. Loyevskaya
Published: March 2022

Protopop Avvakum was a religious leader of the Orthodox Schism, an opponent of Patriarch Nikon and his reforms. In his autobiography, he tells about his misadventures and tribulations during his exile in Siberia and Pustozersk. His Life was compared to confession, because of its personal tone. However, the lyricism of the narrative disappears when it comes to enemies: Patriarch Nikon, Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, and “evil superiors”. Sarcastic expressions and abusive vocabulary convey the state of mind of the author, who is ready to sacrifice his life for the old true faith. The metaphorical and sharp language of the protopop, full of spiritual power, is a major characteristic of his Life, letters and petitions.

Published: March 2022

This study investigates the effects of variable queue lengths and green times on discharge flow rates at real-time managed intersections in Mersin, Turkey. For this purpose, traffic flow data were collected at two different signalized intersections during morning peak hours for two days. The traffic data including the time headways, queue lengths for each cycle were derived from video records via MATLAB coding while the signal timing data were obtained from Mersin Metropolitan Municipality. The impact of variable queue lengths and green times on discharge flow rate were evaluated separately via analysis of variance (ANOVA) tests. The results indicated that time headways of the first vehicles in the queue were statistically larger than the time headways of the remaining vehicles in the queue (p-value<0.05). On the other hand, the time headways of the remaining vehicles in the queue were not found statistically different at 95 confidence level (p-value>0.05). Furthermore, the effect of the variable green time on discharge flow rate revealed that the significant difference was only observed for the first twelve seconds of the green time.

Authors: MOGARAJU Jagadish Kumar
Published: March 2022

Human life sustained for decades due to the availability of basic needs, and freshwater is one of them. However, groundwater quality is constantly under pressure. This can be attributed to anthropogenic activities not limited to urban areas but to rural zones. Machine learning methods like linear discriminant analysis (LDA), Classification and Regression Trees (CART), k-Nearest Neighbour (KNN), Support Vector Machines (SVM) and, Random Forest (RF) models were used to analyse groundwater quality variables. The mean accuracy of each classifier was calculated, and the obtained mean accuracies were 77.5% (LDA), 87% (CART), 96% (KNN), 93.5% (SVM) and 96% (RF). RF and KNN models were selected as optimal models with higher accuracy. This study made it apparent that machine learning algorithms can estimate and predict water quality variables with significant accuracy. In this study, the observations and variables were compared with the water quality index and drinking water limits provided by the Bureau of Indian Standards. The water quality index for each observation was calculated. If at least four variables have a higher value than prescribed limits, it was assigned a value of 1; if more than four variables reported higher values, it was assigned a value of 2.

Gereja secara mendasar dipahami sebagai perkumpulan orang-orang kudus. Persektuan dalam gedung gereja sejak mulanya memang dalam bentuk perkumpulan banyak orang. Dalam menjalankan penginjilannya dan untuk bersekutu dengan orang-orang percaya, gereja mengalami hambatan yang sangat besar, yaitu peristiwa serangan Covid-19 yang melanda dunia. Diberlakukannya program-program Pemerintah (Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar) dan social distancing (larangan untuk berkerumun dan jaga jarak) oleh pemerintah guna penyebarluasan atau penularan virus ini, menjadikan persekutuan gereja tidak terlaksana secara maksimal. Adanya pandemi ini hopitalitas gereja ada situasi yang serius sebagaimana gereja yang sifatnya bersekutu. Tidak ada hambatan yang terlalu sulit untuk misi penginjilan ketika iman yang dimiliki sepenuhnya hanya bersandar di dalam Kristus. Pelayanan yang disertai Roh kudus merupakan peran dalam pelayanan Gereja khususnya pada zaman Rasul di awal terbentuknya gereja. Sebagai tubuh Kristus, kita harus merespon dalam bentuk tindakan nyata kepada penderitaan orang lain yang berada dilingkungan kita. Bukan saja kepada orang-orang dalam satu komunitas kita namun juga orang-orang diluar komunitas kita, bahkan orang-orang yang belum mengenal Kristus.Kata Kunci: Gereja, Covid-19, Hospitalitas

A Misnomer: Western Balkans
Authors: Tulun Teoman Ertuğrul
Published: March 2022

As international news reflected widely, a masked gunmen stormed the parliament building in Macedonia. This is one of the latest attacks in a series of incidents in the EU-invented region of "Western Balkans". Has the rebuilding of the Balkans from the ground up brought about peace and prosperity to the Balkans? Russia is meddling in these countries' internal affairs. Due to this situation, there is a need for the European Union to step up as an actor. After the collapse of Yugoslavia, the political parties in the regional countries began to compete with each other in order to demonstrate that they are for the reforms and the democratization process dictated by the EU. For example, even center-right parties took up the issues that are not on their traditional agenda, such as gender equality that is usually in the domain of center-left parties, for taking credit in this competition. Another point that the academia and policy makers are focusing on is the argument that Russia is meddling in the region. It is argued that Russia is a destabilizing actor in the region. Another point is about the reality of the European Union in the region. Especially the academics argue that the European Union needs to step up and "save" the region. The foremost goal of the building of the concept of "Western Balkans" is to leave Turkey outside the Balkans and Europe. Actually, the real question is, (especially considereing the fact Turkey is geographically a Balkan country and has historically and culturally been part of the Balkans for decades) who is the real meddler in the Balkans: the European Union or Turkey? The rational way for the EU in securing the stability in the region is the elimination of the term of "Western Balkans" from its terminology and in reverting back to original concept of the Balkans, which will ensure the integrity of the region.

The practice of inclusive education in schools has led to changes in policy and pedagogy, hence teacher acceptance and attitude are important components of its success. The aim of this study is to identify the differences in attitudes of primary and secondary pre-service teachers on inclusion. The study included 548 Australian university students studying primary (n = 348) or secondary (n = 193) professional teaching. All participants completed the Teacher Attitudes to Inclusion Scale (TAISA). Principle components analysis was performed to transform the TAISA questionnaire into smaller set of components and two-way between-groups analysis of variance was used to analyse data. Results showed that primary pre-service teachers have more positive attitudes towards inclusion than secondary pre-service teachers. Primary pre-service teachers were also more responsive to training on inclusive education. Implications for practice and future research are discussed.

Published: March 2022

Background: Previous studies have highlighted the large extent of inequality in adverse COVID-19 health outcomes. Our aim was to monitor changes in the overall, and inequalities in COVID-19 years of life lost to premature mortality (YLL) in Scotland from 2020 and 2021.Methods: Cause-specific COVID-19 mortality counts were derived at age-group and area-deprivation level using Scottish death registrations for 2020 and 2021. YLL was estimated by multiplying mortality counts by age-conditional life expectancy from the Global Burden of Disease 2019 reference life table. Various measures of absolute and relative inequality were estimated for triangulation purposes.Results: There were marked inequalities in COVID-19 YLL by area deprivation in 2020, which were further exacerbated in 2021; confirmed across all measures of absolute and relative inequality. Half (51%) of COVID-19 YLL was attributable to inequalities in area deprivation in 2021, an increase from 41% in 2020.Conclusion: Despite a highly impactful vaccination programme in preventing mortality, COVID-19 continues to represent a substantial area of fatal population health loss for which inequalities have widened. Tackling systemic inequalities with effective interventions are required to mitigate further unjust health loss in the Scottish population from COVID-19 and other causes of ill-health and mortality.

Published: March 2022

Accounting, financial and managerial accounting in the field of agriculture is influenced by specific factors: the seasonality of agricultural production, dependence on climatic conditions, the cyclical growth of livestock and crop products. Against the background of the process of convergence with international standards, the correct formulation of accounting, financial and managerial accounting in the aspect of calculating the cost of grain products has a direct impact on the profitability of the economic entity and the industry as a whole. The study provides a brief description of the activities of LLC “NIVA” of the Cheremisinovsky district of the Kursk region, an assessment of its main production indicators is given. In addition, the current procedure for financial accounting of grain production costs at the enterprise by types of crops is considered: winter and spring wheat, barley; in the context of the products received – main, secondary, associated, the costs of which are formed over a long period of time. Due to the fact that the final coverage of the expenses incurred at the expense of revenue is directly dependent on the biological maturation dates of crops, there is a need to use certain methods of grain accounting. The disclosed traditional method of excluding the costs of by-products in LLC “NIVA” allowed us to identify certain significant disadvantages: violation of the conditions for the formation of the cost of production, when the cost of only the main product is calculated, and the by-products are deducted from the costs according to a firm estimate. In addition, there are questions about the correctness of the distribution of products into main and secondary according to laboratory tests. Based on the conducted research, the application of the Direct-costing cost accounting method is proposed. Its effectiveness is evaluated on the example of the economic calculation of the cost of winter wheat and the procedure for its accounting is disclosed.

The agrarian policy of the state has not allowed to stabilize the production of milk in small forms of farming, but they still remain its main producers. They account for 59.3%. A sharp decline in milk production is observed in the households of the population and its growth in farms and small enterprises belonging to small agricultural businesses and enjoying budget support. It is proposed that personal subsidiary farms that produce marketable products and supply them to the market also provide financial support. The reserves of increasing milk production in small forms of management have been identified: improving the use of the genetic potential of cows, strengthening the feed base, optimizing feed rations, the use of modern technologies, the development of integration and cooperation.

The priority role of grain subcomplex in ensuring food security of country is determined by the technological possibility of creating reserves grain intended for a guaranteed supply of country, taking into account agro-climatic and geographic characteristics of regions. Insufficient technological level, low material and technical equipment, personnel problems, outdated selection and seed-growing technologies in the grain subcomplex of Russia can become main problems in ensuring national food security. The use of modern technological solutions in the grain subcomplex should improve efficiency of production process and largely neutralize impact of unfavorable weather conditions and other factors of production risk. The decisive role in solving these problems should be played by formation of an organizational and economic mechanism for technical and technological development of grain subcomplex.

Background: Aging, which is accompanied by loss of muscle mass, strength, and function, may contribute to the development of frailty and fractures in older people. Interventions such as β-hydroxy-β-methyl butyrate (HMB) treatment and resistance exercise training (RET) have been well established independently to attenuate muscle loss in previous researches. Nevertheless, no consensus exists on whether the combination of HMB intervention and RET could obtain an additional benefit to the older population. Our aim was to systematically quantify whether HMB supplementation combined with RET has a synergistic effect on improving muscle mass, strength, and function in older adults. Methods: A systematic search was performed using the electronic databases Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science from inception of the study until Oct 30, 2021. The articles included were all randomized controlled trials and met the inclusion. A fixed or randomized (if data were heterogeneous) effects metaanalysis was performed using Stata. Results: A total of 256 articles were screened, with eight studies matching the eligibility criteria, which enrolled 333 subjects (≥ 65 years old). A meta-analysis was conducted, and the results showed no significant difference between the groups in lean mass, fat mass, or physical performance. In the subgroup analysis regarding the differences in muscle strength between appendicular muscles, HMB supplementation combined with RET contributed to significantly improving the muscle strength of the lower limbs (n = 6, SMD: 0.55, 95% confidence interval: 0.06 to 1.04). Conclusion: A combination of HMB supplementation and RET in older people has an additional benefit for muscle strength, especially in the lower limbs, instead of muscle function and physical performance. Further studies are needed to demonstrate the mechanism. Keywords: PHMB, muscle mass, resistance exercise training, elderly

Some Cyprinid fish species: Cyprinion macrostomum (Heckel, 1843), Capoeta umbla (Heckel, 1843), Chondrostoma regium (Heckel, 1843), and Squalius cephalus (Linnaeus, 1758) living naturally in the Murat River, were investigated for Protozoan and Crustacean parasite fauna and their distribution. Fish samples were collected from different stations between July 2017 - June 2019, examined in the Bingöl University Zoology Research Laboratory, and the data were explained with various variables. The normality test revealed that the data were not normally distributed (p< 0.05), as with large samples, so non-parametric tests explained the data. A total of 365 fish were examined, and 100 fish (27.4%) were infected with at least one Protozoan or Crustacean parasite. Four different parasite species were recorded on the examined fish, namely Ichthyophthirius multifiliis and Trichodina sp. belonging to the phylum Ciliophora (Protozoan), Ergasilus sieboldi, and Lamproglena pulchella belonging to the phylum Arthropoda (Crustacean). As a result of this study, for the first time, Protozoan and Crustacean parasites of different cyprinid fish were examined according to the host species, seasonal distribution, host size, and new host records were reported for three parasites.

Aim: In our study, we aimed to compare the effect of single and multiple thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) patients who underwent video asisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) on hemodynamic parameters, postoperative visual analog scale (VAS) and sedation scores, and total analgesic consumption. Materials and Method: The ASA II-III, age between 18 to 65 years, and body mass index lower than thirty, 60 patients who underwent elective VATS were included to this study. Patients were divided into two groups as single (Group S), (n:30) and multiple (Group M), (n:30) TPVB. Block was performed at T6 level in Group S and at T4, T6, T8 levels in Group M by using 21 mL 0.5 % bupivacaine. Intravenous patient controlled analgesia (PCA) was performed for both groups after surgery. Systolic arterial pressure (SAP), diastolic arterial pressure (DAP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2), Ramsay sedation score (RSS), tramadol consumption during 24 hours, resting and coughing VAS scores were recorded before PCA and at 30th, first, second, 6th, 12th, 20th, and 24th hours of postoperative periods. 50 mg iv dexketoprophene was administered when coughing VAS score above the 4. Despite the iv dexketoprophene, in case of consistent pain 1 gr iv paracetamol was given to the patients, and all additional analgesic requirement was recorded. Results: Hemodynamic parameters were similar in both groups during postoperative period (p>0.05). VAS scores were higher in Group M but there were not statistically significant (p>0.05). Additional analgesic requirement was significantly higher in Group M, (p>0.04). Cumulative tramadol consumption was comparable between the groups, (p>0.05). Conclusion: In TPVB, it was observed that single and multiple injections provided similar postoperative pain scores and postoperative cumulative tramadol consumption, but we observed a high additional analgesic requirement in multiple injection group. Based on this result, we concluded that there would be no need to disturb patient comfort and prolong the procedure by applying multiple injections.

Background: In reality, fear of being infected at work has led to stigmatization and discriminatory treatment of HIV/AIDS patients. The consequence of such negative attitude is poor management of people with HIV/AIDS who need most care, treatment, and support. Aim: To evaluate attitudes and behaviors of healthcare professionals toward HIV/AIDS patients in a tertiary hospital in Nigeria Methodology: This was a cross-sectional study conducted in Federal Teaching Hospital, Ido-Ekiti, Nigeria. 250 healthcare professionals were selected randomly, Participants completed a well-structured, self-administered questionnaire delivered to them at their workplace. Data obtained from the questionnaire was analyzed using SPSS software version 9. Results: A total of 250 healthcare professionals participated in the study, 148(59.2%) were males and 102 (40.8%) were females. 153(61.2%) of them had been working between 0- 10 years with prevalence age group 30-40 years. Majority of Healthcare professionals (HCPs) in this study demonstrated positive attitude and behaviour toward HIV/AIDS patients. However, minority of HCPs had negative attitudes toward HIV/AIDS patients by agreed to the statements that HCPs should not share office with HIV patients, beds of HIV patients should be marked and HCPs should allow relation to marry HIV patients. Conclusion: Healthcare professionals should have access to up-to-date information on all aspects of HIV/AIDS through effective training on the modes of HIV transmission, prevention, counselling, guidelines for safe practice and the rights of PLWHIV, this would reduce discriminatory attitudes towards PLWHIV and also improve patients' care and access to quality healthcare services.
