Sairaalahoidon alueellinen vaihtelu ja kehitys Suomessa 1989-1993
Authors: Nordberg Mai
Published: January 2025

Tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan akuutin, ei-psykiatrisen vuodeosastohoidon kehitystä ja alueellisia eroja Suomessa vuosina 1989–1993 sekä yksittäisten sairauksien että kokonaiskäytön osalta. Aineistona käytettiin sairaaloiden poistoilmoitusrekisteriä. Sairaalakäyttöä mitattiin hoitojaksojen lisäksi sairaalahoitoepisodeilla ja sairauksikohtaisella peittävyydellä. Episodit muodostettiin yhdistämällä saman henkilön samalla diagnoosilla olleet hoitojaksot, joissa hoitojaksojen välinen aika oli alle kaksi kuukautta.
Alueellisia eroja arvioitiin variaatiokertoimen avulla. Lisäksi laskettiin kokonaiskäytön ja käytön yksittäisissä sairauksissa väliset korrelaatiokertoimet. Sekä terveyskeskuspiirien että sairaanhoitopiirien välillä sairaalahoidon määrä vaihteli selvästi, etenkin useimpien yksittäisten sairauksien osalta. Samat sairaudet sijoittuivat eniten vaihtelevien joukkoon kaikilla käytön mittareilla. Yhtä sairautta lukuun ottamatta kokonaiskäytön ja käytön tietyissä sairauksissa välillä havaittiin tilastollisesti merkitsevä positiivinen korrelaatio.
Tämä viittaa siihen, että sairaalasektorin kokonaiskapasiteetti saattaa olla merkittävä vaihtelua aiheuttava tekijä myös yksittäisten sairauksien hoidossa.
Hammashoidon kustannusten tasaus ja sukupuolten väliset erot hammashoitokäynneissä
Authors: Alanen Pentti
Published: January 2025

Aikuisväestön hammashoito on Suomessa ainoa laaja terveydenhoidon alue, jonka kustannuksia ei yleisesti tasata. Suunnitelmia asian kehittämiseksi on tekeillä. Subvention vaikutuksista on kuitenkin olemassa myös Suomesta saatua tietoa, koska monien työpaikkojen sairauskassat korvaavat jäsentensä hammashoitoa. Artikkelissa vertaillaan miesten ja naisten välisiä eroja Varsinais-Suomessa Turun telakalla, jossa hammashoidon korvaus on ollut voimassa vuoden 1967 alusta lähtien. Sukupuolten väliset erot osoittautuivat tässäkin tapauksessa pääpiirteissään samansuuntaisiksi kuin ilman subventiota. Johtopäätöksesi tuli myös naisten osalta se, ettei pelkkä kustannusesteiden poistaminen saa jokaista käymään säännöllisesti hammashoidossa.
Tapahtuman toteutumisen tai välttämisen yleisyyden arvioiminen
Authors: Hakulinen Timo
Published: January 2025

Kuolleisuus- ja elonjäämistaulumenetelmillä voidaan seurantatutkimuksessa analysoida minkä tahansa tapahtuman toteutumista tai vallitsemista, ei yksin kuolemista ja elossaoloa. Jotta menetelmä tulisi käyttökelpoisemmaksi muita käyttöalueitaan varten ja jotta sen suosio kasvaisi, artikkelissa ehdotetaan menetelmän nimen ja eräiden peruskäsitteiden nimitysten vaihtamista yleisemmiksi. Kuolleisuus- ja elonjäämistaulumenetelmillä lasketaan elossaolo- ja kuolemanvaaralukuja. Toteutumataulumenetelmillä lasketaan nyt (tapahtuman) vallitseva- ja toteutumalukuja. Terminologisten uudistusten lisäksi selostetaan, kuinka menetelmällä lasketaan ja minkälaisia oletuksia menetelmän käytölle on asetettu. Lisäksi kerrotaan menetelmän liittyvyydestä tilastollisesta päätöksenteosta, esiintymisestä ja testauksesta sekä menetelmän yleistyksistä.

Tutkimuksessa selvitettiin ihmisten kokemia oireita ja niiden ilmaantuvuutta, vallitsevuutta ja kestoa. Satunnaisotannalla valittuja 35-64-vuotiaita kuopiolaisia osallistui tutkimukseen 214 henkilöä. Aineisto kerättiin marraskuussa 1979 päiväkirjalla, jota täytettiin kahden viikon ajan.Tutkituista täysin oireettomia kahden viikon tutkimusjakson aikana oli 11 %. Koetujen oireiden esiintyvyys oli yleensä suurempaa vanhemmilla kuin nuoremmilla henkilöillä ja suurempaa naisilla kuin miehillä. Yleisimmin koettuja oireita olivat päänsärky, nivel-, lihas- tai raajasärky ja liiallinen väsymys.Tutkimusjakson alussa ja lopussa havaitut erot koettujen oireiden vallitsevuudessa ja eri viikonpäivinä havaittu oireellisten henkilöiden osuuden vaihtelu antavat aiheen epäillä tiettynä ajankohtana suoritettujen poikkileikkaustutkimusten ja takautuvien kysely- ja haastattelututkimusten tulosten tarkkuutta.Päiväkirjamenetelmällä kyseinen ongelma voidaan poistaa, ja lisäksi tarjoutuu mahdollisuus suorittaa tarkkoja selvityksiä koettujen oireiden ilmaantuvuudesta, vallitsevuudesta ja kestosta, sekä tarkastella koettujen oireiden keskinäisiä suhteita.

Published: January 2025

Suomi oli ensimmäisiä maita, joissa fenasetiinin käyttöön voimakkaan lisääntymisen ja jyrkästi kohonneen munuaissairauksien prevalenssin seurauksena fenasetiinin käyttö ensin rajoitettiin 1962 ja asetettiin reseptipakon alaiseksi 1965. Tämän jälkeen tapahtui vedestä kuolleisuudessa eri munuaissairauksiin ja erityisesti krooniseen interstitiaaliin nefriittiin runsas lasku niin, että jo 1970 saavutettiin 1950-luvun alun alhainen taso. Munuaistauteihin kuolleiden keski-ikä nousi 61:stä 69:ään vuoteen. Tapausmäärän lasku oli suurin 60-74-vuotiaiden ryhmässä. TYKSin sisätautiklinikalla hoidettujen munuaistautipotilaiden määrä laski vuodesta 1962 vuoteen 1980 alle puoleen, erityisesti kroonista interstitiaalista nefriittiä potevien määrä pieneni selvästi ja kaikkien munuaistautipotilaiden keski-ikä nousi 56:sta 63:een vuoteen. Samanaikaisesti sydänsairauksien kuolleisuusosuus väheni 29 %:sta 14 %:iin. Myös papillanekroosien frekvenssi oli TYKSin sisätautiklinikan ruumiinavauslöydösten perusteella laskenut 8.9 %:sta 0.3 %:iin. Suomessa fenasetiinin käytön rajoituksesta seuranneet myönteiset kokemukset poikkeavat eräiden maiden tutkimustuloksista.
Keabsahan Permohonan Pailit dan PKPU oleh Pekerja sebagai Alternatif Penyelesaian Kegagalan Pembayaran Upah
Authors: Fanny Gresta Nova
Published: January 2025

The increase in bankruptcy and The Suspension of Debt Payment Obligations (PKPU) cases in Indonesia occurs due to the failure to pay by the company, such as non-payment of debts to creditors or non-payment of workers' rights due to the company's declining financial situation. In addition, the increase in bankruptcy and The Suspension of Debt Payment Obligations cases is also supported by the requirements for filing bankruptcy applications which are very easy to fulfill. In the event that the debtor is a company, the applications for bankruptcy declaration can also be filed by workers because workers can be referred to as preferred creditors because wages and rights that have not been received by workers are debts that take precedence in payment. However, in relation to the failure to make payments by employers for wages or workers' rights, the applications for bankruptcy declaration by workers should be used as an ultimum remedium(the last resort), namely as a last resort for resolving the problem because if there is an industrial relations dispute between workers and company related to non-payment of wages or workers' rights, the state has provided legal remedies through the mechanism of Industrial Relations Dispute Settlement (PPHI). Based on this, the purpose of this paper is to find out whether the failure or inability of the company to make payments of wages or workers' rights can be resolved through the bankruptcy or The Suspension of Debt Payment Obligations instrument whereas as we know that rights disputes in labor disputes should be resolved through the Industrial Relations Dispute Resolution mechanism as stipulated in Law Number 2 of 2004 concerning Industrial Relations Dispute Resolution.
Veterinary technicians report in a survey how futile veterinary treatments contribute to their moral distress and impact their professional and personal lives
Authors: Peterson Nathan W. , Foltz Kelly , Moses Lisa , Boyd J. Wesley
Published: January 2025

OBJECTIVE

To document veterinary technicians’ (VTs’) experiences with medical futility and its subsequent impact on moral distress and attrition from the profession.

METHODS

A cross-sectional study using a 56-question web-based, confidential and anonymous survey was distributed through the National Association of Veterinary Technicians in America between January 19 and February 15, 2023.

RESULTS

There were 1,944 responses from approximately 8,500 members (22% response rate). Nearly all respondents (97.8%) reported having encountered futile treatments during their careers, with 94.7% having provided such treatments. Most respondents (83.7%) had been asked or directed to act against their conscience to provide futile treatments to terminally ill patients, with 80.8% having done so. Providing futile treatments resulted in moderate to severe stress in 76.9% of VTs surveyed; respondents reported experiencing negative emotional (96.6%) or physical responses (83.4%) associated with medically futile treatments. Nearly half (48.7%) have considered leaving their position due to moral distress associated with providing futile treatments, and 55.5% claimed to have firsthand knowledge of someone who has left the profession for the same reason.

CONCLUSIONS

Encounters with medical futility were a common occurrence among respondents. Furthermore, futile medical treatments caused a significant increase in moral stress for the VTs polled, which may contribute to professional attrition.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Targeting ways to mitigate moral distress due to experiences with futility may increase retention and career satisfaction of VTs.
Exploring Life’s Boundaries: Biosemiotics and the Challenge of Defining Life
Authors: Zengiaro Nicola
Published: January 2025

This article addresses the challenges of defining life by combining insights from biological and semi-otic perspectives. It explores the lexicographic complexity of defining life, analysing how definitions vary across scientific and philosophical contexts and how these definitions are shaped by cultural and ideological influences. The study highlights the importance of semiosis as a fundamental characteristic of living organisms, positioning biosemiotics as a fundamental framework for understanding life beyond mechanistic models, but also semiotics as a tool for unravelling scientific narratives. Historical and contemporary intentions to define the minimum threshold of complexity for life, highlighting how these efforts have evolved over time and their implications for modern biology. By examining different perspectives on the phenomenon of life and its intermediate forms, the article offers a critical and interdisciplinary approach to understanding life as a semiotic and interpretive process.

The fact that an everyday concept of life is richer than the biologic concept of life (in the sense of a greater semantic flexibility and its encompassing character of embracing normative, emotional, sacred, and other aspects of life) may lead us to pose a contra-factual question: Could other notions of life have become basic for biology had it not been developed in the shadow of a hegemony of a mechanicist ideal of science during the 19th and 20th centuries; i.e., could life have become conceived of as something different from merely complex organizations of material particles and their energetic relations?

Published: January 2025

Kidney transplantation has become a preferred treatment for many patients with end-stage renal disease, leading to increased quality of life. In recent decades, results in kidney transplantation have been improving, but allograft rejection remains an important clinical problem. This retrospective study reviewed all kidney allograft biopsies performed at Pauls Stradiņš Clinical University Hospital from January 2014 to December 2022, with the aim to determine clinical and histopathological characteristics, treatment, and short-term outcomes of biopsy-proven kidney graft rejection in Latvia. Rejection was diagnosed according to clinical, laboratory, and biopsy-proven acute rejection histological criteria; classified and subdivided using Banff criteria (a total five groups). Treatment strategies, laboratory data at the time of biopsy and after one-year follow-up were analysed. A total of 153 allograft biopsies were included. The majority of the grafts were from deceased donors. Besides augmented maintenance immunosuppression for almost all patients, pulse steroids were the most administered treatment, followed by plasma exchange, rituximab, immunoglobulins, and anti-thymocyte globulin in different, mainly non-homogenous combinations. Acute antibody-mediated rejection was diagnosed most often. The most favourable outcomes considering allograft function were in the acute cellular rejection group after one-year treatment compared to the worst outcome chronic-active antibody mediated rejection (caAMR) group (p = 0.03). Furthermore, the caAMR group had the highest number of patients who returned to dialysis or died after one year.

Published: January 2025

Airway management is a cornerstone of anaesthesia. The aim of the study was to identify difficult airway (DA) predictors for patients with fibreoptic intubation (FOI). This retrospective cohort study included 135 adult patients undergoing general anaesthesia with the use of FOI at Rīga East University Hospital from 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2022. For analysis, 135 patients were divided into two groups according to unanticipated (un-DA, n = 33) or anticipated DA: (a-DA, n = 102). Data were analysed using SPSS 26.0, p < 0.05. FOI was used only in 135 cases of 50,186 general anaesthesia cases over the study period. Of 135 FOI cases, 75 (55.6%) were males with a median age of 62 ± 19 years; 24.4% FOI was used in acute and 75.6% in elective surgeries. Those with a-DA had a higher Mallampati score, on average 3.2 vs. 2.1, p = 0.002. Unanticipated DA were reported statistically more frequently in acute admission cases compared to elective surgeries — 39.3% vs 10.8% of cases. Previously known tracheal pathologies such as dislocation (p = 0.001) and stenosis (p = 0.011) were statistically reliable factors for the anticipated DA. Comparing a-DA and un-DA groups for combinations of predictors (Mallampati score, admission and tracheal pathology) we found a sensitivity and specificity 70.3% and 68.7% to predict DA. Mallampati score, acute admission, and previously known tracheal pathology are reliable predictors of DA in patients undergoing FOI. Acute admission had the greatest impact on unanticipated DA.

Authors: Mac Amanda , McKee Hayley , Balas Michael , Abbas Aazad , Ahrari Aida , Sandhu Pawandeep , Morra Dante , McClennan Sarah , Freeland Alison
Published: January 2025

Background: Innovation and entrepreneurship are central to healthcare. Physicians are ideally positioned to create sustainable healthcare innovations. However, few medical programs in Canada provide training for students to pursue innovation and entrepreneurship. We created the Entrepreneurship in Healthcare Seminar Series (EHSS), a novel initiative designed to teach medical students about developing innovations and launching entrepreneurial ventures. We evaluated the EHSS based on medical student feedback and suggest future directions.
Methods: EHSS consisted of seven sessions per academic year, each led by a physician-entrepreneur. The session topics outlined a methodological approach to developing a medical start-up, from ideation to implementation, including a formal talk and question/answer period. Quantitative and qualitative evaluations of the program were acquired from anonymized feedback forms with quantitative questions rated on a 5-point Likert scale.
Results: From October 2020 to May 2022, there were a total of 258 unique attendees, of which 199 completed feedback forms (77.1%). 88% of attendees agreed or strongly agreed that the sessions were engaging and well-organized, learning objectives were met, and skills gained will be useful in practical settings. Three key themes arose from attendee open-text responses: importance of aligning personal and professional values with entrepreneurial pursuits, significance of mentorship, and that innovation requires proactive identification of healthcare gaps and creative solutions.
Discussion: Through EHSS, medical students gained a comprehensive overview of medical entrepreneurship and networking opportunities with physician-entrepreneurs. Future work involves expanding the seminar series to include an experiential learning component to apply foundations learnt from the lectures while receiving mentorship.

Authors:   Department Of General Surgery, St. Joseph’s Hospital, Yunlin, Taiwan
Published: January 2025

Intraductal papillary lesions are not so common among breast biopsy specimens. Possible presences of pseudoinvasion of small epithelial nests within the fibrotic tissue around an intraductal papilloma are well known, and the invasiveness could be ruled out by the presences of myoepithelial rimming about the tumor nests. Herein, we report two cases of atypical intraductal papilloma.

Published: January 2025

This study aims to examine the influence of doctors' knowledge of the benefits of accounting, technical knowledge and demands of obligations on the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) of accounting in independent general practitioner practice entities. Data from questionnaire answers to respondents as many as 167 general practitioners who open independent practice services. The research method uses a quantitative approach with hypothesis testing using multiple linear regression analysis to test factors that influence the implementation of AI of accounting and the Independent t-test mean difference test to test differences in doctors' perceptions based on their characteristics. The results of the multiple linear regression analysis test show that the factors that influence the implementation of AI of accounting are 1) doctors' knowledge of the benefits of accounting, 2) doctors' knowledge of basic accounting techniques, and 3) demands of obligations from stakeholders. The results of the Independent t-test test show that there is no difference in the perception of the need for AI of accounting between ASN and Non-ASN general practitioners. The originality of this study: testing the determination of the implementation of AI of accounting in independent general practitioner practice entities, and testing differences in perceptions of the implementation of AI of accounting between ASN and non-ASN general practitioners.
Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of childhood refractory to the use of diazoxide in an infant: case report
Authors: Beloni Ana Beatriz , Beloni Ana Clara , Cunha Mila , Amar Fabio
Published: January 2025

INTRODUCTION: Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia in childhood is a rare and serious pathology, but it is the most common etiology of persistent hypoglycemia in children and neonates. It can be congenital, secondary, associated with metabolic diseases and genetic syndromes, such as Beckwith-Wiedmann.
OBJECTIVE: To report a case of hypoglycemia refractory to the use of diazoxide and describe the importance of diagnosis and therapy.
CASE DISCUSSION: female infant undergoing investigation for congenital hyperinsulinism unresponsive to diazoxide, with solid-cystic image in pancreas topography. A caudal pancreatectomy was performed, but the patient continued to experience episodes of hypoglycemia and developed abdominal distension and intolerance to the enteral diet. A new abdominal computed tomography showed signs of resection of the pancreatic tail with intestinal loops, without signs of tumor, diagnosing it as nesidioblastosis. The patient maintained hypoglycemia even with the use of Octreotide, and was referred to surgery for subtotal pancreatectomy with excision of the retroperitoneal tumor. After stabilization in the intensive care unit, he was discharged for follow-up in a pediatric endocrinology outpatient clinic and investigation for Beckwith-Wiedmann syndrome.
CONCLUSION: The diagnosis is clinical and the therapy consists of the use of oral diazoxide, aiming to prevent hypoglycemic crises and avoid systemic repercussions. Due to its potential severity, delays in correct diagnosis and treatment can lead to lifelong complications, such as severe neurological damage.

Sacralization of archaeological sites in the Southern Urals: a look through social networks (based on the analysis of online communities)
Authors: Akhatov Al'bert Tagirovich , Tuzbekov Ainur Il'fatovich
Published: January 2025

In the context of the global internetization of society, when the influence of digital technologies is growing not only in the household, public, but also in the religious spheres, the problem of studying their impact on socio-political processes in society and the livelihoods of individuals and groups is becoming more urgent. The article analyzes the representation of the practice of pilgrimage of people to the graves of saints ((aulia), mostly dedicated to the sacred monuments of archeology) in the social networks of the Internet. The authors propose to study pilgrims as a special socio-cultural group based on both traditional field and new methods of online research (netography) of online communities. In the course of the research, the Internet group "Sufi RB", created and moderated by followers of the Naqshbandi tariqa Haqqaniah, was studied using digital netnography methods. Grave analysis of the published materials, as well as the activity of the group's audience, indicates the high interest of the actors in Sufism and events organized by Sufis at holy sites – Mount Narystau (Miyakinsky district), the graves of Ural Batyr (Beloretsky district), the graves of Aldar Batyr (Burzyansky district), etc. Community leaders organize mass events (up to 10,000 people) every year in order to mobilize followers at holy sites and sacral archaeological sites in the Republic of Bashkortostan. As a result of studying the data obtained, it was revealed that in the target audience of the community there is a slight predominance of women over men and people over 50 years of age over all other age categories of subscribers. Most of the group's actors, except for the regional capital, live in settlements located in the southern and southeastern parts of the region. The results obtained are almost completely correlated with the data collected during the 2013-2018 field trips. The positive result of conducting a study of pilgrims as a socio-cultural group using digital ethnography methods, supplemented by the results of field research, allows us to consider it effective and gives grounds to use it in scientific research. The experience gained by religious online communities in building the organization of interaction between people and sacred archaeological heritage sites in the Internet space can be used for the development of tourism, etc.
Prevalence of Anxiety and Associated Factor Among Infertile Couples in Eastern India: A Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Rai Vikash Kumar , Raj Satyajeet
Published: January 2025

Objectives

More than 10% of women suffer from infertility. Generalised anxiety disorder (GAD) is one of the most prevalent psychological disorders among infertile patients. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of GAD and its associated factors among infertile patients in West Bengal, India.

Material and Methods

This cross-sectional study included 109 infertile patients in a tertiary care centre in West Bengal, India, between Dec 2023 and June 2024. Demographic, fertility characteristics and GAD data were collected through a questionnaire. SPSS statistical software (IBM SPSS version 29) was used to analyse the obtained data. Descriptive analysis was used to describe basic information and anxiety scores, and binary logistic regression was used to analyse the relationship between anxiety and other variables.

Results

The prevalence of anxiety among infertile patients was 46.8%. Binary logistic regression showed that patients with lower education levels were more likely to have anxiety (p-value 0.002). Patients from lower socio-economic classes were more likely to have anxiety (p-value 0.001). Patients who didn’t receive mental health services (MHS) (p-value 0.003) and the age of participants more than 35 years (p-value 0.042) were also associated with anxiety.

Conclusion

The prevalence of GAD among infertile couples is high, particularly in patients aged more than 35 years, with low education levels and lower socio-economic class. Mental health services should be given to infertile couples.
Historical experience of teaching the Yakut language in a foreign language classroom
Authors: Zakharova G. A. , Fedorova U. R.
Published: January 2025

The article is devoted to the analysis of the historical experience of teaching the Yakut language to Russian-speaking and foreign audiences in Yakutia. An analysis of academic and methodological literature and the practice of implementing a methodological system on this problem in educational institutions of the republic shows that language education is constantly in search of innovative educational technologies and strives to solve interlingual and intercultural communication in a multicultural society. One of the leading Yakut scholars and methodologists who have developed an effective methodology for teaching the Yakut language as the state language was Professor Stepan Kolodeznikov, Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences, full member of the Academy of Pedagogical and Social Sciences. Thanks to Professor Kolodeznikov, since the beginning of the 21st century, the prestige of the Yakut language has noticeably increased and the interest of foreign linguistic researchers in the Yakut language has increased sharply (4). The purpose of this study is to analyze the academic and methodological thought on teaching the Yakut language as a non-native language in schools of the republic. To achieve this goal, we put forward the following tasks: an analysis of academic and methodological literature on the theory and didactics of interlingual and intercultural communication; coverage of the research activities of Professor Kolodeznikov, the founder of a unique academic school for teaching the Yakut language to Russian-speaking students, foreign students and foreign interns; generalization of the results of the work. A lot of work has been done to develop and systematize methods for teaching the Yakut language as a non-native language for Russian-speaking and foreign citizens. Thanks to our scholars and teachers, innovative educational technologies in language education have been developed, which contribute not only to mastering a non-native language, but also become a positive environment in solving interethnic relations in a multicultural society.
The use of addresses in Nikolai Neustroev’s comedies
Authors: Sorova I. N. , Tarabukina V. E.
Published: January 2025

At the present stage of the functioning of the Yakut language, one of the most important tasks is to study the language of fiction. Addresses in works of art play an important role, because with their help you can express an attitude, a feeling for the hero, display his status, establish contact with the interlocutor, show the relationship between the characters. That is why the study of the peculiarities of the functioning of addresses in comedy is relevant. The purpose of the study is to study the peculiarities of using addresses in the comedies by Nikolai Neustroev. To achieve this goal, the following tasks are solved: to describe the history of the study of addresses in the Yakut language; to consider the meaning and types of addresses; to classify the addresses used in comedies by lexical and semantic groups; to reveal the features of using addresses in a sentence. The following research methods were used in the course of the work: descriptive, structural and statistical. The material of the study was the comedies “Kukaaki Kuluba” (1920), “Tar” (1921), “Kuhahan tyyn” (1925) and “Tieteybit” (1920-1925) by Neustroev. The following types of addresses s are highlighted: lexical means of attracting attention (secondary nominations of kinship regulatives, addresses in relation to multiple addressees, special words, a universal model of address доҕор ‘friend’); kinship terms; addresses of social inequality; addresses related to changes in the social system; proper names; emotional and figurative addresses; and abusive addresses. The scholarly novelty of the work consists in the fact that the study of the peculiarities of using addresses in the Neustroev’s comedies had not previously been the subject of special study and was analyzed for the first time in the lexical, semantic and syntactic aspect. The theoretical and practical significance of the work lies in the fact that its results can be used in the study of the functioning of addresses in the works by other Yakut writers, comparative study of addresses in Turkic languages, as well as in teaching the syntax of the Yakut language, in classes on a philological analysis of a literary text.
Proper name in a literary text: the case of the novel by Nikolai Mordinov “Springtime”
Authors: Starostina A. S.
Published: January 2025

This article attempts to identify ways of translating proper names from Yakut into Russian, in particular anthroponyms, toponyms, based on the translation of the novel by Nikolai Mordinov – Amma Achchygyya “Saski kem” (“Springtime”). The relevance of the research lies in studying the issue of the functioning of a proper name in fiction and the problem of transferring Yakut proper names into Russian. The problem of translating anthroponyms and toponyms with ethnic and cultural specifics is one of the controversial issues in translation studies. The translator faces a difficult task: the translation of a specific word that has no analogue in the target language, taking into account the phonetic, lexical and grammatical features in the literary text. The purpose of the work is to conduct a comparative analysis of real and fictional proper names in the original language and in the target language (Russian) in fiction. Descriptive, comparative, contextual methods of analysis were used during the work. As a result of the study, we propose a classification of the main methods of translating anthroponyms, such as transliteration, transcription, creation of a new word, descriptive and literal translations; dividing toponyms into real and fictional proper names. Having analyzed the translation of the proper names in the Mordinov’s novel “Springtime,” we came to the conclusion that the most common was the translation of the anthroponym using transcription, this method translated 43 of the proper names out of 72. Of the 27 toponyms, 6 are real geographic names. The author uses toponyms in the work to give specificity to the actions of characters in a real geographical location to show the scale of the civil war for the establishment of Soviet power in the central and northern regions of Yakutia.
The study of the Yakut morphology in syntactic context
Authors: Vinokurova M. A.
Published: January 2025

The article discusses the basic principles of teaching the morphology of the Yakut language through the study of syntax. The purpose of this study is to trace the features of studying the morphology of the Yakut language syntactic context, to determine the advantages of this method of study, to show its practical application. To achieve this goal, textbooks on the Yakut language, as well as methodological manuals, were analyzed. The results of the study will contribute to solving the problem of creating a methodological system for the formation of linguistic competence in the process of teaching the Yakut language syntactic context; they will integrate the process of acquiring knowledge and forming competence skills based on them, expressed in the use of acquired knowledge to enrich vocabulary and the correct expression of one’s thoughts. The author comes to the conclusion that the expansion of the lexical minimum, the assimilation of morphological norms occurs in parallel with the expansion and complication of elementary sentences, through practice in speech. Syntax is one of the communicative language tiers; in this regard, mastering the unit of communication, the sentence, contributes to the harmonious combination of language teaching with communication training. Thus, students master the morphological categories of the Yakut language and memorize new words not in isolation, but in the sentence structure, i.e. in syntactic context.

Published: January 2025

The relevance of the research lies in the object of research: the toponymy of the Arctic. The Arctic is an important part of a unique space, the interest in which is included in scientific interests of the whole planet. The priority task of the Government of the Russian Federation is sustainable development of the Arctic. This zone in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) is rich in cultural heritage, which is reflected in folded ethnocultural texts: toponyms. They contain unique information about the history of the region, cultural traditions, lifestyle of the indigenous peoples of the North, whose language, culture and way of life are inextricably linked with the territory where they live. Cognitive research makes it possible to understand the interaction of genetically different languages. The purpose of the work is to identify the lexical representation of the concept “River”, reconstructed on the basis of the hydronyms of Olenyoksky District of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia). This goal involves solving the following tasks: to analyze toponyms of Evenk and Yakut origin, which reflect the way of life and beliefs of the northern peoples; to identify the motivational meanings of toponyms in the linguistic consciousness of informants. Research methods such as a sociological survey (working with informants), areal, descriptive and statistical methods (further analysis of toponyms) were used in the work. The conducted analysis revealed 228 names reflecting the components of the field structure of the concept “River”. As a result, the semantic classification of hydronyms was presented and the main lexical representations of the concept were identified.
Types of translation errors on bilingual signage of organizations in Megino-Kangalassky District, Sakha Republic (Yakutia)
Authors: Gerasimova E. S. , Androsova M. А.
Published: January 2025

This article is devoted to the assessment of the implementation of Article 35 of the Law “On Languages in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia)” on the signs of institutions of the Megino-Kangalassky District. The linguistic situation in the Russian northeast is currently the subject of many studies, which requires special attention from the state. Legal protection of the language plays an important role in preserving the cultural heritage and identity of the Sakha people. It should be noted that the Law “On Languages in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia)”, adopted on October 16, 1992, legislatively regulates the use of the Sakha language, but its implementation has not yet been completed. This study will reveal the level of implementation of the regional law in Megino-Kangalassky District. To identify the level of implementation of the regional law, let us start with the functioning of article 35 of Chapter IV. Names of administrative-territorial units, personal names, signs and information of the Law “On Languages in the SR(Y)”. The relevance of the study lies in the fact that errors are still observed in the texts of bilingual signage when translating from Russian into Yakut. Therefore, the identification of translation errors in the signage of organizations in Megino- Kangalassky District can later be used in the development of the correct design of the text of signage in the Yakut language. The main purpose of the work is to identify translation errors on bilingual signs in Megino- Kangalassky District. To achieve this goal, the following tasks were performed: the collection of material was carried out, namely, photographing signage; the analysis of the collected data was carried out to identify translation errors; the classification of translation errors into five groups of normative language errors was carried out. At the end of the work, an adjusted Russian-Yakut translation of signage was proposed, which allows not only to identify problems in the design of bilingual signage, but also to suggest ways to solve them to improve the linguistic situation in the area. The results of the study may be useful for further development of a unified signage design structure.

Breaking the trade-off between oil film thickness and viscous friction – n-alcohol-containing lubricants in high-pressure contacts

Published: January 2025

Low-friction lubricant formulations are urgently needed to improve the energy efficiency of machines. Here, we show that blending 1-dodecanol with a hydrocarbon oil improves lubrication in non-conformal sliding/rolling contacts by simultaneously increasing hydrodynamic film thickness and reducing viscous friction. This is due to pressure-induced polymorphic phase transformations in the 1-dodecanol molecules after they flow through the film thickness-determining inlet and reach the load-supporting zone. At relatively low pressures, 1-dodecanol forms a lamellar hexagonal solid polymorph that gives durable superlubricity then, at higher pressures, it forms an orthorhombic polymorph. Both polymorphs cause anomalously low friction when blended into various hydrocarbon base oils over a wide range of speed, pressure, and shear rate conditions representative of rolling bearing and gear contacts. By breaking the ubiquitous trade-off between friction and film thickness, and enabling superlubricity, these blends pave the way for considerable energy efficiency improvements in widespread lubricated contacts.

Published: January 2025

Background: Hepatitis B is a viral infection affecting the liver, causing severe damage. The disease affects 350-400 million people globally, with the highest rates in Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, and Central Asia. The materials used are the virus's protein, HBsAg, to be studied and to create a vaccine to treat the disease. The research aims to create a vaccine against hepatitis B using in vitro methods and applications like NCBI, MSA, modeler v10.5 program, and Swiss-model web server. Material and Methods: The sequence is obtained using UniProt, and the phylogenetic tree is visualized using MEGA11. The NetSurfP web server predicts secondary structures, and InterPro Scan aligns primary sequences with the homologous structure. Modeller v10.5 is used to predict and create a 3D model for the vaccine. Protein sequences are obtained using NCBI, Discovery Studio software, and VLP-based vaccines to predict the B and MHC I T cell epitope. The allergenicity and antigenicity of vaccines are tested using AlgPred web servers and VaxiJen v2.0. Homology modeling results are obtained and analyzed using the Ramachandran plot. Result: Salient points of this study dealing with the computational design of the Hepatitis B virus vaccine may be summarized as follows: different hepatitis B virus large envelope proteins were subjected to Multiple Sequence Alignment, and Phylogenetic Analysis identified the German sequence as the most recent strain. The secondary and tertiary structure of HBcAg core protein and HBsAg Germany HBV genotype D is predicted. Vaccine design was performed using a German HBsAg strain in BLAST, generating proteins from the selected sequences on Modeller v10.5 and refining the models through multiple templates. Predicted B and T cell epitopes from different web servers were combined into one peptide sequence of the designed vaccine. The allergenicity test using AlgPred forecasted the vaccine as a non-allergen, while VaxiJen demonstrated high antigenicity Conclusion: The Swiss-model web server generated a model for the final vaccine sequence. The Ramachandran plot analysis showed 84.7% of residues in the favored region, indicating a sound structural model. This high percentage of residues in the favored region suggests that the predicted 3D structure of the vaccine candidate is likely to be stable and biologically plausible. The Ramachandran plot is a good guide to the quality of the protein structures: the more residues that fall into the favored regions, the more reliable and generally the refinement of the models.
