Symbolic Figures of the Decembrists in the Memorial Space of Irkutsk (Early 20th Century - 1991)
Authors:   Novosibirsk State Technical University, Krasilnikova Yekaterina I. ,   Tobolsk Complex Scientific Station of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: December 2021

The author explores the problem of reflecting the collective memory of Siberians about the exiled Decembrists in the memorial space of Irkutsk at different historical stages. The aim of the article is to characterize the developing dynamics of a segment of the memorial space system that includes Irkutsk's memorial places associated with the Decembrists in the chronological framework of the Soviet period of Russian history. The study is based on the principle of historicism. The methodological reference point of the research is the problem field of memory studies; the concepts of the places of memory of P. Nora and cultural memory of J. Assmann and A. Assmann are used. The author also employs historical-genetic and historical-comparative methods. Within the framework of the Soviet period, three stages of forming the segment of the Irkutsk memorial space associated with the memory about the Decembrists were identified. The first stage, from the 1910s till 1925, reflects the general weakness of Irkutsk city residents' collective memory about the Decembrists, which was manifested in neglecting memorial sites, and the beginning of the awakening of interest in the Decembrists among the local liberal-minded intelligentsia. At the second stage, from 1925 (the 100th anniversary of the Decembrist uprising) till the 1960s, under the influence of the state politics of memory that recognized the Decembrists as the first generation of Russian revolutionaries, the intelligentsia of Irkutsk were actively forming the locus of the Decembrists' memorial space in their city. Based on the memory about the Decembrists, the intelligentsia was constructing their social identity. But the local authorities did not provide the intelligentsia with the desired support, which significantly complicated achieving the memorialization tasks. At the third stage, in the 1960s-1980s, the memory about the Decembrists' stay in Irkutsk was in demand among the local authorities, who used it especially actively during celebrations dedicated to the anniversaries of the city. Many memorable places were designated, and their protection was improved. The sharply increased attention of Irkutsk local administration and city residents to the exiled Decembrists reflected the growth of their regional identity. The author revealed the dependence of reflecting the collective memory about the Decembrists in the Irkutsk memorial space on the state and regional politics of memory, as well as on the local intelligentsia initiatives, for which the memory about the Decembrists served as one of the foundations for constructing their social identity.
The Repressed Priest Anatoly Maslennikov (1891-1921): A Biography Reconstruction Experience
Authors:   Ural Federal University, Pecherin Andrey V.
Published: December 2021

The article presents the first experiment in compiling a biography of the priest Anatoly Aleksandrovich Maslennikov, who was shot in Tomsk in 1920 on charges of belonging to the White Guard organization and canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad in 1981. During the study, a huge number of documentary sources stored in state and departmental archives of Sverdlovsk, Tyumen and Tomsk Oblasts, as well as church periodicals, reference and scientific literature, and also the personal archive of E. Simpson (Great Britain) have been examined. This study provides materials for compiling a socio-cultural portrait of an Orthodox clergy representative who became a participant of the Civil War: his social background, education, and marital status. Some new biographical details have been discovered and the known data clarified, including the periods of his ministry as the prior of Zavodo-Uspensky parish in Tyumen District of Tobolsk Province (now Tugulymsky District of Sverdlovsk Oblast), the regimental priest in the White Army, and the priest in the Baturinskoe village of Tomsk Province (now Tomsk District of Tomsk Oblast). The fact of Maslennikov's training at Kurgan Theological School is published for the first time; his study at Tobolsk Theological Seminary is also considered. The circle of the priest's relatives has been determined. After the successful graduation from Tobolsk Theological Academy in 1913, Maslennikov married, was ordained to the priesthood and appointed Prior of Church of the Assumption of the Mother of God in the village of Zavodo-Uspenskoye. Before the Civil War, he served in the parish, educating peasants in addition to the church service. Father Anatoly did not share revolutionary ideas, and with the outbreak of the Civil War in the Urals he transferred to the military department and was sent to the 16th Ishim Regiment under the command of Colonel N.N. Kazagrandi. With the retreating army of Admiral Kolchak, the priest and his family arrived to Tomsk, and here, after the defeat of the Whites, he was appointed priest of the Church of St. George the Victorious in the Baturinskoe village near Tomsk in December 1919. On May 14, 1920, he was arrested on charges of belonging to the White Guard organization, and, after a short-term investigation, priest Anatoly was shot on June 25, among many other victims of the fierce civil confrontation. In 1994 Anatoly Maslennikov was rehabilitated. The study of individual biographies within the context of the era allows expanding the possibilities of compiling prosopographies (dynamic collective biographies of social groups) and revealing the socio-cultural characteristics of the clergy of the Russian Orthodox Church during the period of the most powerful social transformation of society in the 20th century.
Political Dimensions of Military Technical Cooperation Between Russia and Saudi Arabia
Authors:   Tomsk State University (Tomsk, Russian Federation), Seroshtanov Kirill V.
Published: December 2021

The role of Russia in the Middle East region has been increasing since the start of operation in Syria. This forces not only Russia, but also the Middle East countries including Saudi Arabia to adjust their politics according to the current situation. Both Russia and Saudi Arabia actively use military technical cooperation to develop relations with other countries, so it is essential that in their interstate relations this instrument should be applied. In this article, the military technical cooperation between Russia and Saudi Arabia is under consideration. The article aims to determine the dependence of military technical cooperation between the countries on politics. There is a lack of literature on the issue; the main part of it covers military technical cooperation between Russia and the Middle East countries and also the interstate relations with them in general. Due to the specific character of the arms trade sphere, the volume of sources is also insufficient. However, it is possible to carry out an analysis that allows forming the general image of the military technical cooperation between Russia and Saudi Arabia and its reason on the basis of related mass media publications and SIPRI data. The analysis of the Russia-Saudi Arabia military technical cooperation development shows that its expansion is in correlation with the growing role of Russia in the Middle East. In the middle of the 2010s, a number of contracts were concluded and performed. The following reasons of this expansion can be mentioned: problems in interstate relations between Saudi Arabia and the Western countries caused by the conflict in Yemen and Jamal Khashoggi's killing, the Arms Trade Treaty limitations for trade with Saudi Arabia for Western countries, Saudi Arabia's diversification of arms suppliers, search of Russia for new arms markets, etc. Nevertheless, these reasons cannot be assumed as reasons of crucial importance: the Western countries maintain their positions on the Saudi Arabia arms market despite all the limitations and issues in interstate relations, Saudi Arabia is not the key arms market for Russia; moreover, the integration of Russian arms systems into Saudi Arabia's armed forces formed by the Western military standard is quite complicated. Taking into account all the limitations related to the military technical cooperation between the countries, it can be stated that neither Russia nor Saudi Arabia has crucial economical or technical reasons for its start. Therefore, the following conclusion can be made: military technical cooperation between these countries is not a single process; it is caused by a whole direction of interstate relations, and it is only an instrument to boost them.

Published: December 2021

Today, the issue of developing the principles of selection and organization of the content of the emotional component of foreign-language education, which can change the value preferences not only of the individual, but also of society, is becoming urgent. The leading approach to research in this article is axiological (emotion- and value-based). The culturological nature of foreign-language education is closely related to the educational process's value foundations, which emphasize innovative aspects of linguodidactics. The inclusion of cultural values in the foreign-language educational process contributes to the development of students' value orientations, as well as their emotional and volitional sphere. The logic of the presentation of the material in the article suggests solving a number of interrelated tasks: to describe private methodological principles of selecting the content for this component, to present the principles of its organization, to describe the holistic system of selection and organization of the content of the emotional component of foreign language education in secondary school. The described principles of selecting the content of the component in question are focused on the motivational personal aspects and value-based senses of foreign-language education, and are aimed at achieving its personal results. These are the principles of holistic reflection in the content of foreign-language education of the objectives for a harmonious development of personality and formation of a student's basic culture, emotional significance of the content of speech material, its problematic nature, relevance of the complexity of the content to learners' actual learning opportunities, individualization. To give the component the ability to work in any conditions of the foreign-language educational process, its sub-components should be built in accordance with the principles of functional systems organization: actualization of characteristics aimed at achieving the goal of the system; neutralization of dysfunctions in the process; concentration of actualized functions of all sub-components to obtain the result while giving them some lability to ensure the dynamism of the system. The principles of selection and organization of the content of the emotional component are presented as a hierarchical whole. It has a specific composition and contains the description of their functioning, the key function, and the functioning environment. This system requires an activity component of foreign-language education that is adequate to the content of the emotional component. Its characteristics will be presented in the authors' further studies.
Socio-Psychological Determinants of Recidivism
Authors:   East Siberia State University of Technology and Management, Filippova Olga V.
Published: December 2021

This article examines the socio-psychological determinants of recidivism. At the socio-psychological level, the determinants of crime are manifested in the criminogenic impact on the individual from small social groups. The closest environment has the most serious influence on the formation of personality. This environment is represented by such small social groups as the family, educational and work teams, everyday and informal milieu. Repeat offenders have no family connection and contacts with educational and work teams. Most repeat offenders are unmarried, they do not work or study. Family desocialization of criminals, their negative attitude towards educational and work activities lead to alienation from the main social institutions and positive microgroups, which is accompanied by joining an informal antisocial environment and establishing strong ties with it. In the course of the study, the author generalized criminological views on the determination of recidivism, analyzed information on the characteristics of repeat criminals, and studied the data on the level of recidivism among those convicted to various measures of criminal liability and the statistics of convictions. The author also surveyed the staff of penitentiary institutions about the causes and conditions of recidivism, and convicts who committed a repeat crime and were serving imprisonment. When studying the determinants of crime recurrence, it is necessary to take into account the criminogenic influence of the factors that determined the primary crime, including at the level of small social groups. After conviction, criminals, as a rule, do not change their immediate environment and contacts, and continue to lead the same way of life. Deficiencies in the punishment system also play a criminogenic role in the determination of recidivism. As a result of the study, the author comes to the conclusion that, at the socio-psychological level, the repeated commission of crimes is due to the absence of positive changes in the convicts' microenvironment with a negative immediate environment retaining its influence and also due to the ineffectiveness of the current punishment system, which is unable to ensure the correction of convicts and prevent recidivism.
The 1904-1905 Russo-Japanese War: Specifics of Coverage by French Correspondents in the Far East
Authors:   Lomonosor Moscow State Unirersity, Sabova Anna D.
Published: December 2021

The article aims at identiIying the speciIic qualities oI corerage oI the war between Russia and Japan in 1904-1905 by French newspapers. The study is based on the publications in Iour oI the leading French newspapers oI the period (Le Figaro, Le Temps, Le Journal, and Le Matin) which are presented in Gallica, the online archiye of the National Library of France (Bibliotheque nationale de France). Particular attention is Iocused on publications that reIlect the early period oI the conIlict (27 January - 10 February 1904) and sereral episodes of the war (the shelling of Port Arthur in January-February 1904 and the battle of Liaoyang 24 August - 4 September 1904). The study of archiral documents (a total of 15 issues of Le Matin, 15 issues of Le Journal, 10 issues of Le Figaro, and 2 issues of Le Temps that hare preriously been neither fully translated into Russian nor presented to the academic community) clearly demonstrates that the French newspapers followed one single communication strategy which was quite different from the other pro-Japanese European and American media. The study of hard news and interriews published on the early stage of the conflict reflects the attempts to create a positire image of the Russian Empire in the eyes of French readers, eren though the analysed newspapers relied mainly on reports from English, German, and American newspapers and telegraph agencies. Howerer, reportages, published by a dozen of journalists sent to the theatre of operations in the Far East from Paris, were not only a part of this strategy to reinforce the positive image of Russian troops, they also created an objective picture and a deeply personal account of the event seen through the eyes of a war reporter - the identity and adventures of a war correspondent became, for the first time in the history of French press, a major subject of interest for the audience of the French press. Having examined in detail the publications of two quality newspapers (Le Figaro and Le Temps) and two newspapers for a wider audience (Le Matin and Le Journal) presented on the website of the Gallica archive, the author comes to the conclusion that the French press established a dual approach to war coverage in these years. Despite the great role of information from foreign newspapers and telegraph agencies, gradually, it is the reportage from French correspondents that becomes the leading genre in French journalism at the beginning of the 20th century. Articles describing the reporter's view of the war laid the foundation not only for war journalism but for reportage journalism in the French press as well. Therefore, this study analyses these publications as proper examples of the war reportage and not just as individual correspondence from the front lines. The case of the Russo-Japanese war coverage allows analysing the principles of the construction of belligerents' images in quality and mass newspapers as well as their communication strategy.
Insomnia in Post-Hematopoietic Stem-Cell Transplant Patients in Jordan: Prevalence and Associated Factors
Authors: Abdalrahman Osama , Suleiman Khaled
Published: December 2021

Background and Objective Insomnia is a common symptom that is experienced by the patients post hematopoietic stem cell transplant that interfere with recovery outcomes and patients’ quality of life. Little is known about insomnia among post hematopoietic stem cell transplant in Jordan and in other Arab countries. The purpose of the current study was to identify the levels of insomnia and the related factors in post hematopoietic stem cell transplant.Methods A descriptive cross-sectional correlational design was used to guide this study. Data was collected from 163 patients by the Arabic version of the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI).Results The participant’s average ISI was 14.06 ± 7.71 indicating sub-threshold insomnia. Regarding the insomnia levels, 23.9% of the participants reported no insomnia, 27.6% had subthreshold insomnia, 31.3% had moderate clinical insomnia, and 17.2% had severe clinical insomnia. A significant difference in insomnia levels in some related factors was reported including the higher educated patients (t = 2.40, p = 0.018), patients who received allogeneic transplants (t = -2.932, p = 0.004), and patients within a 30 days’ post-transplant (F (160, 2) = 61.03, p < 0.001).Conclusions In conclusion, the overall prevalence of insomnia among post HSCT patients was 48.5% (n = 79) that suggested clinical insomnia, and it was affected by several clinical variables. Further studies are needed to provide appropriate interventions to decrease insomnia levels among patients.
Sleep and Actigraphy Research Trends: A Bibliometric and Keyword Network Analysis From 2004 to 2020
Authors: Park In Hye , Aini Rahmi Qurota
Published: December 2021

Background and Objective As sleep is a predictor of quality of life, studying sleep health and measurement is important. Actigraphy as a physiologic measure based on monitoring an individual’s movement has also been increasing in use as it has several advantages over traditional self-reports. This study aimed to report the research trends of sleep and actigraphy using a bibliometric and keyword analysis.Methods Using topic search queries, this study collected data from 3955 publications published between 2004 and 2020 and listed in the Web of Science Core Collection. A text-mining unstructured data analysis was performed using author keywords and a bibliographic analysis.Results Studies on sleep and actigraphy have been actively conducted in the fields of neurosciences and neurology but not in other fields. A gradual increase in publication and the steep increase in citations related to this topic occurring during the period considered. By clustering the author keywords, the analysis revealed five clusters: 1) monitoring physical activity and blood pressure, 2) measuring sleep quality, 3) insomnia and cognitive behavioral therapy for adolescents and children, 4) disorders and circadian rhythms, and 5) shift work. The leading research cluster has changed over the time.Conclusions With the increase in the number of studies and citations on sleep and actigraphy over the past 16 years, the trend of sleep and actigraphy studies have shifted from a focus on sleeprelated psychiatric disorders to a focus on cognitive behavioral therapy for children and adolescents and, more recently, the measurement of sleep quality.
“I may be essential but someone has to look after my kids”: women physicians and COVID-19
Authors: Smith Julia , Abouzaid Lina , Masuhara Joy , Noormohamed Salima , Remo Neli , Straatman Lynn
Published: December 2021

Objectives

This paper analyzes results from focus groups held with women physicians in British Columbia which explored questions around how gender norms and roles influenced their experiences during COVID-19.

Methods

Four virtual focus groups were organized between July and September 2020. Participants (n = 27) were voluntarily recruited. Data were analyzed using applied thematic analysis.

Results

In addition to the COVID-19-related changes experienced across the profession, women physicians faced distinct challenges related to an increase in unpaid care responsibilities, and often felt excluded from, and occasionally dismissed by, leadership. Women leaders often felt their contributions were unrecognized and undervalued. Participants drew strength from other women leaders, peer networks, and professional support, but these strategies were limited by unpaid care and emotional labour demands, which were identified as increasing risk of burnout.

Discussion

Even though women physicians hold a degree of relative privilege, unpaid care work and gender norms contribute to distinct secondary effects of COVID-19. Women physicians link these to pre-pandemic assumptions (within families and communities) that women would absorb care deficits at their own cost. Health system leadership continues to reflect a masculine normative experience wherein the personal and professional are separated, and which devalues the emotional labour often associated with feminine leadership. The strategies participants employed to address negative impacts, while demonstrating resourcefulness and peer support, reflect individualistic responses to social-structural challenges. There is a need for greater recognition of women’s contributions at home and work, increased representation in decision-making, and practical supports such as childcare and counselling.

Exploring the use of the concept human dignity in disability human rights law: from UNCRPD to EctHR
Authors: Celik Elif
Published: December 2021

The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) accommodates the concept of human dignity more fully than does any other human rights treaty. The role and interpretation of dignity is thus particularly interesting from the perspective of disability human rights and case law. This study examines the role and significance of the concept of dignity in relation to the human rights disability discourse and jurisdiction through the guidance and impact of the CRPD. It examines the currently available jurisprudence of the CRPD Committee and the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) in light of the CRPD, seeking to identify the rights that are particularly related to the concept of dignity through the perspective of disability and to identify the requirements of the respect for dignity for persons with disabilities. While accepting the limitations of the sources in this examination due to the recent history of the CRPD, the study nevertheless locates some points where human dignity has particular relevance to the realisation of the rights protected in the CRPD.
Human rights obligations, especially, in times of crisis
Authors: Añón Maria Jose
Published: December 2021

This article is a critical reflection on human rights obligations and the changes that have taken place in their conception and functions, as well as their impact on the protection of human rights – especially in crises. The text is divided into two parts. The first section presents the features that characterise human rights obligations while focusing on the arguments that give them identity and reinforce their binding nature, with human beings as the subjects of rights and beneficiaries of obligations that broaden the responsibility of the obligated states. The second section analyses these obligations in times of crisis, such as the Covid-19 pandemic. Therefore, this piece of research focuses on two significant legal situations based on the relevant elements of obligations: on one hand, it critically reflects on the derogative clauses in obligations, and, on the other hand, reviews the prohibition of regression or dilution of human rights as a guarantee for the maintenance of such obligations
Freedom of Speech and Expression versus the glorification of acts of terrorism: Defining limits in the Indian context
Authors: Chadha Vaibhav
Published: December 2021

Freedom of speech and expression is one of the essential rights for humans; however, some people in the guise of right to freedom of speech and expression glorify the acts of terrorism. In India, there are several laws making certain speeches punishable, but these laws fail to take into consideration speeches that glorify terrorists or acts of terrorism. The objective of this article is to examine the scope of provisions or laws that may be introduced to prohibit speech glorifying acts of terrorism in India while maintaining a balance with the right to freedom of speech and expression granted under the Constitution of India, 1950. This article attempts to assess United Nation Security Council Resolution 1624 and laws enacted in the wake of terrorist attacks in European countries such as the United Kingdom and France, and how they deal with speech that glorifies terrorism. This article also discusses case laws on glorification of terrorism of the European Court of Human Rights.
The Voice of Silence: Patterns of Digital Participation Among Palestinian Women in East Jerusalem
Authors: De Vries Maya , Majlaton Maya
Published: December 2021

Facebook is one of the world’s largest social networks, with more than 2,7 billion active users globally. It is also one of the most dominant platforms and one of the platforms most commonly used by Arabs. However, connecting via Facebook and sharing content cannot be taken for granted. While many studies have focused on the role played by networked platforms in empowering women in the Arab world in general and on feminist movements in the Arab Spring, few have explored Palestinian women’s use of Facebook. During and after the Arab Spring, social media was used as a tool for freedom of expression in the Arab world. However, Palestinians in East Jerusalem using social media witnessed a decrease in freedom of expression, especially after the Gaza war in 2014. This article focuses on the Facebook usage patterns and political participation of young adult Palestinian women living in the contested space of East Jerusalem. These women live under dynamic power struggles as they belong to a traditionally conservative society, live within a situation of intractable conflict, and are under state control as a minority group. Qualitative thematic analysis of 13 in-depth interviews reveals three patterns of usage, all related to monitoring: state monitoring, kinship monitoring, and self-monitoring. The article conceptualises these online behaviours as “participation avoidance,” a term describing users’ (non-)communicative practices in which the mundane choices of when, why, and how to participate also mirror users’ choices of when, why, and how to avoid.
From Chiapas to Palestine: Historicizing Social Movement Media Before and Beyond the Arab Uprisings
Authors: King Gretchen
Published: December 2021

Critical scholarship investigating media and the Arab uprisings has called for “a return to history.” This article argues that researching the contemporary constraints and opportunities of social movement media in the Arab region requires historicizing such practices. Reflecting on the role of media activism within the Arab uprisings necessitates broadening the historical context of social movement media in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region by investigating the diversity of media tactics and alternative political economies mobilized to resist the military-industrial communications complex. This article develops a political economy framework to historicize social movement media practices from Chiapas to Palestine and provides a critical reflection on the use of media for revolution before and beyond the Arab uprisings. Learning from the long and global history of revolutionary media struggle is beneficial to media activists and researchers working in the MENA region.
A Case Study: Mada Masr—A Progressive Voice in Egypt and Beyond
Authors: Leihs Nadia
Published: December 2021

This article questions the role of the media in times of political transformation. In doing so, it draws on theories on the interconnectedness of the different fields of society to explain the sets of roles that media outlets and journalists adopt during phases of transition. Before 2011, the Egyptian media mostly acted as collaborators of the ruling regime and rarely as an agent of change. Journalists took over the latter role more often following the advent of privately-owned media outlets, thus helping to pave the way for the events of the so-called Arab Spring. This case study focuses on the development of the online news portal Mada Masr and therefore traces the development of two newsrooms. Starting as the English edition of a privately-owned Arabic newspaper in 2009 and changing its status to an independent news outlet in 2013, Mada Masr is one of the few voices which still openly criticise the Egyptian government. Founded in a time of political turmoil and struggling against an increasingly authoritarian environment, the outlet implements innovative ways of producing content, securing funding, and reaching out to its readers. A group of young Egyptian and international journalists make use of new spaces for expression that have opened through the global changes in communication infrastructure while struggling with frequent attacks by representatives of the ruling regime. As such, Mada Masr is a role model for small and regime-critical media outlets.
Influence of common zones of low-amplitude activity on the mechanism and treatment of atrial arrhythmias
Authors: Dedukh Elizaveta V. , Artyukhina Elena A.
Published: December 2021

Background: The treatment of left atrial flutter is a problem that requires a deep understanding of the underlying complex mechanism of arrhythmia. Although a considerable experience exists already in understanding the mechanisms underlying atrial flutter after ablation or surgery, little is known about atypical forms of atrial flutter in patients who have not previously undergone ablation or other cardiac surgery.
Clinical case description: We present a clinical case of interventional treatment of a patient with atypical atrial flutter who had not previously undergone surgical or interventional heart surgery. This clinical observation demonstrates the role of common zones of low-amplitude activity on the mechanism and treatment of atrial arrhythmias. Widespread areas of low-amplitude activity in the left atrium can create barriers to the propagation of excitation, which can cause atypical atrial flutter.
Conclusion: When performing a surgical intervention, high-density mapping will help to visualize the mechanism of this arrhythmia. Understanding the mechanism of atypical atrial flutter will help to minimize the RF exposure during the treatment.
Pathogenetic justification of the use of simvastatin in the complex therapy of vitiligo
Authors: Davletshina Alina Yu. , Lomonosov Konstantin M.
Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND: Vitiligo is a chronic acquired disease with a genetic predisposition to pigmentation disorder caused by the destruction of skin melanocytes, leading to hypopigmentation. The effectiveness of currently available methods of treatment of vitiligo, on average, is about 40%. Therefore, it is necessary to search for new effective and safe methods of vitiligo therapy, characterized by minimal risk of side effects, and financial costs of the patient. Simvastatin inhibits cholesterol biosynthesis by inhibiting HMC-CoA reductase. In addition to lowering cholesterol, statins have pleiotropic effects, namely, they inhibit various inflammatory mediators and cytokines, activate the antioxidant system, and reduce the level of active forms of oxygen in melanocytes. AIMS: To develop a pathogenetic therapeutic complex using simvastatin for patients with vitiligo. MATERIALS AND METODS: To participate in the study, 81 patients with vitiligo were examined. Each patient was determined by the form and stage of the disease. The effectiveness of therapy in the groups was evaluated by assessing the area of repigmentation. The first group received treatment ― simvastatin in combination with UVB therapy 311 nm, the second group-UVB therapy 311 nm. Studies of cytokines were carried out using enzyme immunoassay. Study of the oxidative status using high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Statistical processing of the research materials was carried out using the SPSS Statistics software package. RESAULTS: The combined method of therapy with the inclusion of simvastatin showed the following clinical results: 6 (12%) had a pronounced positive effect; improvement ― in 34 (69%) patients. Dynamics of the immune profile: decrease in IL-6 from 101 to 8.10.6; TNF- from 18.82.1 to 12.91.1; increase in IL-10 from 3.20.4 to 7.30.3. Dynamics of the oxidative profile: malondialdehyde 1.70.12 to 1.480.11, 8-oxo-DG 0.300.03 to 0.230.02, SOD 1703 to 2077, glutathione 69736 to 94232. CONCLUSION: The combined method of vitiligo therapy with the inclusion of simvastatin is effective and safe, leading to stabilization of the process, clinical improvement and a pronounced effect of therapy in 82% of patients. It also has an immune-correcting effect and normalizes the indicators of the oxidative profile.
Combination of isotretinoin and Contractubex Anti-Red in acne therapy
Authors: Katkhanova Olga A. , Grigoryants Svetlana A. , Glazko Irina I.
Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND: Acne vulgaris (acne vulgaris) is an urgent interdisciplinary problem. Analyzing modern scientific data on the development of acne vulgaris, it is necessary to focus on the role of inflammation that accompanies dermatosis at all its stages of development, sometimes preceding the formation of clinical symptoms. Prolonged chronic recurrent course, difficulties in choosing the correct therapy tactics, sometimes unreasonable medical interventions, exacerbation, improper skin care lead to the formation of a number of complications. AIMS: To optimize and improve the effectiveness of therapy in patients with moderate and severe degrees acne using isotretinoin and the combined innovative gel Contractubex Anti-Red. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included 60 patients aged 18 to 45 years with moderate to severe acne. Isotretinoin was prescribed in standard dosages. To study the effect of Сontraktubex Anti-Red on the dynamics of post-acne, patients with atrophic post-acne scars were divided into 3 subgroups, depending on the regimen of drug use. RESULTS: Almost complete relief of the inflammatory process, regression of elements was noted 12 months after the use of complex therapy, the value of the dermanologic index of acne (DIA) index was more than 70% noted in 62% of patients, significant improvement in 38%. The severity of post-acne scars on the SCAR-S scale changed significantly during treatment and in 53.3% this indicator was 1. The Cadi index decreased by 70% compared to the baseline. CONCLUSION: Good cosmetic effect, safety, absence of side effects, comfort and ease of use make it possible to recommend Contractubex Anti-Red together with basic acne therapy.

Health is largely determined by environmental factors. A number of skin diseases, as well as its age-related changes, are a poorly studied medical and social problem. The procedures provided in cosmetology clinics can be considered a relative indicator of an improvement in the quality of life, directly related to the restoration and maintenance of balance and harmony of individual and public health of a person with the natural and social environment. The analysis of the quality of life of patients with cosmetology profile was carried out. It is noted that despite the rapid development of cosmetology, information proving the impact of surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures on the patients quality of life is limited; there are no effective, reliable rating scales for the patients self-assessment of the results of cosmetic therapy. Sociocultural and quality of life factors that force patients to undergo these procedures are not well understood. The results of a sociological survey of patients with a cosmetology profile allow cosmetologists to plan a complex of interventions for the prevention and correction of age-related changes in appearance, emphasize the professional image of a specialist. The development of rating scales and methods for assessing the quality of botulinum therapy and the patients self-assessment of the results of medical care provided on the principles of evidence-based medicine is an urgent issue.
An analysis of redundant relationships in data and object modeling
Authors:   , Dullea James A. , Song Il-Yeol
Published: December 2021

This research presents a complete analysis of structural validity and redundant relationships in the entity-relationship (ER) model. Direct treatment of structural validity and redundant relationships is rare in the literature. In practice there is no complete set of heuristics to holistically evaluate the structural validity or conclusively identify a redundant relationship in ER diagrams. Some validity rules are partly discussed in publications, but they do not exhaustively cover all the combinations of maximum and minimum cardinality and address only the most commonly used structures. Current approaches for identifying redundant relationships depend on the use of functional dependencies and do not consider minimum cardinality constraints. This omission disallows the inference of true transitive connectivity even with the presence of a related connection constraint. Existing approaches can only conclude that the relationship is "suspiciously redundant." In practice, this leaves the decision of removing a "suspiciously redundant" relationship to the subjective judgement of the designer. Our approach differs from previous works in that it: (1) Addresses both maximum and minimum cardinality constraints. (2) Considers the impact of ternary relationships on redundancy. (3) Presents a holistic analysis of unary, binary, and ternary relationships as they coexist in a complex overall diagram. (4) Treats structural validity and redundancy together. The study provides a thorough pattern analysis of redundant relationships and shows they are sufficiently determined by the cardinality constraints coupled with a semantic connection constraint. The analysis yields a comprehensive set of thirty decision rules to determine the structural validity and the redundancy of any unary, binary, and ternary relationship in a complex multi-path environment. These rules can easily be incorporated into the modeling process or extended into case tools implementations. This study extends previous works on ternary relationship validity to the areas of minimum cardinality constraints and the structural validity of a complete diagram where a ternary relationship coexists. This study lays a foundation in the analysis of structural validity and relationship redundancy in object modeling. We have shown that the analysis rules identified for data modeling are readily adaptable for the analysis of redundancy in object modeling with association, aggregation, and inheritance constructs.
Preconcepciones sobre la biodiversidad y los componentes de un ecosistema de ría del alumnado de 1º de ESO

Published: December 2021

Conocer las preconcepciones del alumnado es clave para diseñar estrategias didácticas efectivas. En este estudio se examinaron estas preconcepciones en torno a biodiversidad, relaciones entre seres vivos y seres vivos y medio y la presencia de microorganismos en un ecosistema acuático (una ría), mediante un cuestionario cubierto por alumnado de 1º de ESO de un centro de Galicia. Los resultados muestran que muchas preconcepciones son compartidas con las descritas previamente para ecosistemas terrestres, aunque también hay algunas dificultades específicas. Además, el conocimiento mostrado sobre la biodiversidad de un ecosistema acuático próximo no es muy alto, induce a pensar que sería apropiado incluir en más profundidad este tipo de ecosistemas y aumentar la presencia del entorno cercano a la hora de tratar conceptos ecológicos. Así, el alumnado contará con más elementos conocidos con los que relacionar la información proporcionada en el aula.

A demanda mundial por alimentos tem contribuído para a expansão de novas fronteiras agrícolas em solos arenosos. Contudo, esses solos são frágeis e necessitam ser bem manejados de forma que possam expressar seu potencial produtivo. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a qualidade física de um Neossolo Regolítico sob sistema de integração lavoura-pecuária no semiárido da Paraíba. 11 tratamentos foram avaliados em delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com cinco repetições. As amostras com estrutura indeformada foram coletadas nas camadas de 0-0,1 e 0,1-0,2 m e utilizadas na determinação da porosidade total (PT), Macroporosidade (Ma), microporosidade (Mi), porosidade de aeração (Pa), Densidade do solo (Ds), condutividade hidráulica saturada (Kθ), capacidade de campo (θCC), ponto de murcha permanente (θPMP), água disponível (θAD), granulometria e o grau de floculação (GF). Os dados foram analisados por meio da análise de variância e análise de componentes principais. O solo sob Floresta apresentou qualidade física do solo superior a muito dos tratamentos avaliados, contudo, melhorias físicas substanciais foram observadas no solo sob capim Massai, Urochloa decumbens e Urochloa decumbes + milho. Conclui-se que os atributos macroporosidade, condutividade hidráulica saturada e porosidade de aeração estão sendo pelos sistemas integrados de produção agropecuária.

O estudo teve como objetivo analisar o efeito do envelhecimento acelerado sobre a germinação de sementes de plantas daninhas. O experimento foi conduzido em laboratório, com delineamento inteiramente casualizado em esquema fatorial 4x5, sendo sementes quatro espécies (capim-carrapicho ( C. echinatus ), capim-colchão ( D. horizontalis ), caruru ( A. viridis ) e corda-de viola ( I. grandifolia)) cinco períodos de envelhecimento (0, 24, 36, 48 e 72 horas), e cinco repetições. As sementes foram envelhecidas à temperatura constante de 42±2°C. Foi analisado a condutividade elétrica, germinação e índice de velocidade de germinação. Os resultados foram descobertos uma análise de variância, análise de regressão e correlação. Houve incremento na condutividade elétrica pelo tempo de envelhecimento acelerado para capim-colchão, caruru e corda-de-viola. A germinação e o de velocidade de germinação índice mudanças expressivas para caruru e corda-de-viola. O tempo de envelhecimento acelerado reduz a germinação de caruru e eleva a germinação de corda-de-viola.
