Chalcone isomerase (CHI) is well-known as an important enzyme in the biosynthetic pathways such as flavonoid, isoflavonoid, and anthocyanin biosynthesis. The enzyme was investigated in some kinds of plants in Fabaceae but no research was conducted about the CHI gene of Pueraria montana var. lobata (P. lobata) in Vietnam. In order to provide more information and characterisation of the gene, our study isolated the CHI gene by RT-PCR and Sangersequencing. The sequence of the CHIgene was analysed with nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences to find the main domains. A full-length CDS of CHI gene from P. lobata is 672 bp encoded 224 amino acids. By using bioinformatic tools to compare, the isolated gene shared 99.7% homology with the same species reference (code D63577.1). Two different nucleotides in the gene were altered the amino acids in the protein, but the differences have not happened in active sites. Additionally, the conserved amino acids related to active catalysis of a hydrogen bond network also appeared in the P. lobataCHI gene. SWISS-MODEL was used to build the complete protein modeling showing that P. lobataCHI protein was the most similar with CHI of Medicago sativa - was defined structure in which all alpha-helix and beta-helix were completelyhomologies.

PESTEL-analysis of the system “state – independent quality assessment agencies”: Political and socio-economic aspects
Authors: Artyukhov Artem
Published: December 2021

The aim of the study. The article is devoted to determining the influence of political and socio-economic factors on the process of external evaluation of the quality of higher education at the university. The main factors that motivate a thorough analysis of the educational environment are described both from the point of view of the participants in this process and from the point of view of auditors, independent institutions. The analysis of external factors is the first stage of creating an effective strategy for the advanced development of the educational institution and ensuring its financial stability. Methodology. The use of PESTEL-analysis as a tool for assessing the impact of external factors on the quality of education is substantiated. The list of criteria (indicators) of external assessment of the quality of educational programs is presented and the use of these criteria for the creation of effective mechanisms of maintenance of the quality of higher education in HEI is offered. Results. When considering the relationship “state – independent quality assessment agencies” input parameters are factors of external influence, system parameters – financial performance indicators, management parameters – regulatory framework and criteria for assessing the quality of educational programs, output parameters – recommendations for building an internal quality assurance system education in HEI. Among the political factors of influence can be identified both destabilizing and positive factors on the quality assurance system of free economic zones. Destabilizing factors provoke a constructive response from NAQA in the form of development and active implementation of the regulatory framework in the activities to ensure the quality of education. Practical meaning. The criteria for the external evaluation of the educational program and the activities of the NAQA in terms of improving the national regulatory framework respond to the economic challenges facing the quality assurance system of education. In response to social challenges, the system of external evaluation of the quality of education becomes more “flexible” and prone to a variety of methods for solving problems. Prospects for further research. The analysis of all these factors, as well as the tools to influence these factors, developed by the NAQA, should be the basis of the strategy for the development of free economic relations and regulations on the development of quality assurance in education. The creation of a tool of technological influence on the analyzed factors by the management of the HEI determines the prospects for further research.

Authors: Obad Šćitaroci Mladen , Bojanić Obad Šćitaroci Bojana
Published: December 2021

The Vranyczany-Dobrinović family (short: Vranyczany) is an aristocratic family that rose to power in Croatia in the second half of the 19th century. Members of the family possessed five manor houses surrounded by gardens with historicist features from the late 19th and early 20th century. All five are located in the hilly region of Hrvatsko Zagorje, which boasts the highest density of castles and manor houses in Croatia, built in continuity from the 17th until the beginning of the 20th century. The aim is to determine the features of the gardens of the explored castles, on the basis of photographs from the beginning of the 20th century as well as cartographic sources. A wealth of photographic documents from the beginning of the 20th century shows carefully landscaped and kept gardens and parks, with a full life flourishing in them. Vranyczany’s manor houses’ gardens are based on the Biedermeier and romantic tradition of garden culture. Towards the end of the 19th century, many gardeners trained in Vienna, Prague and other Central European cities, lived in Zagreb and the surrounding area. They passed down ideas related to the historicist garden culture and competed in artistic and horticultural gardening.

Published: December 2021

The structural and technological aspects of obtaining composite materials based on polytetrafluoroethylene are considered. It is shown that due to the existence of inert components in the process of interfacial interaction with the degree of filling in the traditional technological paradigm implemented, structural paradox manifests itself in proportion to the reduction of the parameter of tensile strength with increasing degree of filling. According to the concept of multi-level modification, the technological principles are proposed to eliminate the negative impact of the structural paradox fluorine composites by controlling the structure of the organization at various levels – molecular, supramolecular, and interfacial phase. Efficient methods of manufacture of products from highly filled fluorine composites containing 25–35 wt. % carbon fiber with parameters of deformation and strength characteristics higher than the corresponding parameters of analogs.

THE PLACE OF LEGAL CULTURE IN THE CONDITIONS OF OVERCOMING THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE COVID-19 CORONAVIRUS INFECTION
Authors: Tsvetikova T.
Published: December 2021

Coronary infection COVID-19 led to a global crisis in all spheres of social activity and the state: economy, social relations, education, medicine; forced to revise legal norms and enact laws and by-laws, Regulating human behaviour in a new pandemic. Its worst effects are the massive loss of life on all continents, both from the disease itself and from its complications. Only in the Russian Federation, in the period 2020 - 2021, has the supreme authorities repeatedly adopted decisions on the introduction and extension of a special provision for the implementation of masks in enterprises and organizations of various forms of ownership; Establishment of a social distance of 1.5 m, transfer of children’s pre-school and educational institutions to distance learning, etc. Similar restrictions have been imposed abroad in countries where the rates of new infections and deaths are high. The invention and use of vaccines against this disease also does not guarantee 100% protection. Unfortunately, the individual citizens vaccinated against COVID-19 subsequently died from complications caused by concomitant diseases. In a number of countries, there has been widespread opposition to the closure of enterprises and to the transfer of production in absentia, which has inevitably led to higher costs for entrepreneurs caused by the need to introduce new technologies overnight. In order to prevent general chaos and the increase in cases of legal nihilism, there is a need to transform the existing legal culture, taking into account the extraordinary circumstances caused by the global crisis. The ways and recommendations of adapting the legal mechanisms in force both in the world and in the Russian Federation to the consequences of coronavirus infection COVID-19 are presented in the publication presented.
THE PUBLIC COMPANIES LAW AND SUBSTANTIVE IMAGES OF PERSONS OF PUBLIC LAW IN MODERN RUSSIAN LEGISLATION
Authors: Safonov M.
Published: December 2021

The article outlines the general problems arising in the system of the Russian legislation associated with the contradiction between the legal forms set forth in the Civil Code and the forms of legal entities that were actually formed in public law. As a specific example, it was impossible to inscribe those entities which had special legal status (Central Bank of the Russian Federation, the Pension Fund of Russia, Vnesheconombank of the USSR, Bank for Foreign Trade of the RSFSR) in the proposed by Civil Code classification. The emergence of the legal form of a public corporation is seen in the article as an attempt to remove the existing contradictions in legislation.

There are identified such criteria as the moral norms reflection in contemporary art works, the presence of value content in it, spiritual or ethical conflict that is relevant for students, the form of values representing, problems, ideas corresponding to the students age. As a result, the scientific knowledge about the requirements for the content of students’ spiritual and moral education and the possibilities of contemporary art in solving the problems of spiritual and moral education has been clarified.
Philosophy for Millions and Millions of Philosophers
Authors: Rubtsov Alexander
Published: December 2021

In the article, the relationship between the highest professional specialization of philosophy and its involvement in the realities of everyday life consciousness, collective and individual, are considered. Karl Jaspers defines philosophy precisely through the natural need and ability of human being as such, from the piercing questions of children to the revelations of anomalous geniuses. Great philosophers only concentrate this sleeping ability in a person to see the world directly and every time anew. Rightly considered the most closed type of intellectual activity, philosophy at the same time provides examples of live communication and direct appeal to people and society.  The fact that each of us is the bearer of philosophical ideas (whether we are aware of it or not) leads to the problem of ideology. By analogy with the constitution of the political by Carl Schmitt through the opposition "friend — enemy", ideology is constituted by the opposition of "faith — knowledge" in a single continuum between the poles of "almost religion" and "almost philosophy". If ideology asserts the non-obvious as obvious, then the mission of philosophy is a systematic criticism of the obvious.  This conflict manifests itself both in society and in the consciousness of an individual.  The classic understanding of ideology as a purely external manipulation (“consciousness for the Other”) is challenged by the presence in the consciousness of the individual subject of “internal dialogue” and “internal speech” with the effects of ideological work and ideological struggle with oneself (the individual as a micromodel of society and the state).  Postmodern all the more accentuates the non-professional dimension of philosophy by rejecting the schemes of progress and hierarchy, the logic of binary oppositions, including high and low, center and marginal, specialized and amateur.  The ability to reflect is the most important feature of a sovereign personality in its resistance to the "penetrating" ideology and new mythology, degrading to intellectual barbarism and political savagery.
“Our Posthuman Future” in Utopias of Contemporary Art
Authors: Iglesias Garcia Ricardo
Published: December 2021

The evolution of the concept of body and progress, specifically from Modernity and with the implementation of technologies, allows us to delve into new utopian / dystopian visions about the human subject and his corporality. Technological art, which originated in the second half of the twentieth century, is actively working towards dismantling the classic utopian paradigms that have accompanied culture for more than five centuries. The new art took over the function of managing the utopias that the artistic avant-garde created in an industrial society in the first half of the last century and replaced them with the utopias of a digital society. The understanding of the body as a space of utopian creativity, the idea-force of the automaton body persists even today implicitly in many of these figurations. Physical practices such as bodybuilding, plastic surgery, implants, makeup, and tattoos allow the body to act as a "utopian object". Along with this, there are attempts to present the body not as a living object of nature, but as a machine, as a bodily automaton. It is also remarkable to propose the body as a machine and not as a natural or animal object, an issue that will not fail to bring consequences when exercising activities with and on the body. New technologies offer the possibility of overcoming the limits imposed by our biological inheritance in a kind of explicit desire neither to accept our past, nor our natural-organic origin. In this sense, an important series of thinkers, scientists and artists consider the body as something completely obsolete, like an empty shell that must be shed to technologically give way to the next level in human evolution: the Techno Sapiens or the Cyborg. They advocate that the anthropology’s object of study passes from the “human being” to the “cyborg”, considering this one as a more suitable representative of our present, and above all, of our future. The figure of the cyborg has become the center of a new utopian transhumanist paradigm (K. Hayles, N. Bostrom, R. Hanson, H. Moravec), analogously in the sphere of art appear figures who want to represent this technoevolution, artists like Stelarс, Marcel.lí Antúnez among others.
Welcoming the Other in One’s Language. Translation as a Mediation Dispositive

Introduction
The Other in Translation: To Welcome or Not to Welcome
Authors: Dranenko Galyna
Published: December 2021

This article is devoted to the ethical and political dimension of the thought of translation, here being considered as a problem place where the relationship to the Other is the question. First, the study shows the principles of translation theories centered on the welcoming of the Other and it analyses the relationship between the notions of “proper” and “foreign”. Then the drifting that can be borne out of “non-ethical” translation which undervalue and/or ignore the asymmetrical links between dominant and dominated languages. Finally, the article sets into perspective the problems surrounding the question of the welcoming of the Other in translation in confronting them with the theses Tiphaine Samoyault puts forth in her book Traduction et violence (2020). The point is not to condemn translation under the pretext that it would only be violence, but to take into consideration the fact that it is a place full of tensions which one should learn to manage in a tactful manner. Therefore, to replace the notion of “truthful translation” Samoyault offers the concept of “just translation” which allows to reunite in the same phrase the notion of “justness” (to find the just word) and that of justice (to adjust the translation, to adapt to inequalities). In short, the article undertakes the examination of the problem of the Other in translation while referring to Ricoeur’s idea that the foreigner is neither the same (identical to us) nor the other (different from us) but the similar, that is to say the conjunction of the identical and the different.
Poetic Translation as a Trans-Cultural Process of Enrichment: When Julio Herrera y Reissig Translated Albert Samain
Authors: Fernández Thais
Published: December 2021

This work focuses on the unusual, poetic affinity between the Uruguayan poet, Julio Herrera y Reissig (1875–1910), and the French poet, Albert Samain (1858–1900), that took shape in Julio Herrera y Reissig’s Spanish translation of some of Samain’s poems from his 1898 volume of poems Aux flancs du vase. Our objective is not to write a critical review of Herrera y Reissig's translations. Instead, we aim to identify the similarities between the two poets. Thus, our contrastive analysis will demonstrate the affinities between the French author and his Uruguayan translator. In this collection, Samain was able to transpose the emotions aroused in him by the radiant landscapes and by certain moments in his daily life into terse, sensual and harmonious verse. Even though his style did not in any way conform with the poetic world of Modernism, full of exotic fragrances, colours, swans and characters from the classic world, it gave Herrera y Reissig the opportunity to creatively rework the original text and produce some truly remarkable transformations. These poems in Alexandrine verse place nature centre stage, and the sensations shared by both poets are evoked by their choice of colours and fragrances, by their combinations of sound and the profusion of images of rare intensity.
Lexical Means of (Re)Creating of the Sound Effects in the Original and Translation: A Case Study Based on the Novel by J.-M. G. Le Clézio Ritournelle De La Faim
Authors: Shargay Iryna
Published: December 2021

Discussion of the translation process is complex and fraught with pitfalls, especially when it concerns the notions of translation equivalence and adequacy. This issue is of crucial importance concerning the translation of literary works. This article is dedicated to the study of the fundamental problem which translators of all times and all countries encounter, that is, to convey the creative idea of the author of the original work without perverting it, to preserve, throughout the translation process, all the semantic and stylistic nuances which form its content. This is the question around which our research problem revolves. We study here the approaches chosen by the Ukrainian translator Yarema Kravets, in order to recreate in his translation, the sound image that J. M. G. Le Clézio succeeded in creating in his novel Ritournelle de la faim. In order to render this research more usable, we have adopted the following methodological approach, founded on these two axes: the collection of lexical units from the source text which serve to create the sound image; and the comparative analysis of the original text with its translation, of the novel by J. M. G. Le Clézio, Ritournelle de la faim, with the goal of recreating the sound of the source text by identifying its means of transmission. The anticipated result of the given study, which is dedicated to the recreation of the sound effects in the translation of the J. M. G. Le Clézio’s novel Ritournelle de la faim, will be either to confirm or refute our primary hypothesis: that the translation proposed by Y. Kravets respects the spirit and the letter of the source text.
French Translations in the Ukrainian Literary Polysystem (The Executed Renaissance)
Authors: Stefurak Olena
Published: December 2021

This contribution is within the framework of the polysystem theory of I. Even-Zohar, who, starting in translation studies, raised lively reflections on the role of translated literature within the literature of national culture. Literature, according to the researcher, is an open and dynamic polysystem composed of the centre and the periphery, the evolution of which is due to the continuous rivalry between the innovative and conservative tendencies of the polysystem. The contribution of the translations to the literary polysystem of a culture depends on their position in the polysystem of the target culture. Translations, being central in the literary polysystem, serve as sources of innovation as translators are freer to introduce foreign elements and techniques to the target literature. On the contrary, if the subsystem of the translated literature lies in the periphery of the polysystem, translators have to limit themselves to the models existing in the target culture, thus helping to maintain conservative tendencies. Our contribution is therefore an attempt to apply the theory of I. Even-Zohar to the study of French translations in the Ukrainian literary polysystem of the 1920ies-30ies. We have tried to shed light on the position of translated French literature in the Ukrainian literary polysystem as well as its contribution to the development of the reception system by analyzing the translation activity of the neo-classics representatives. Thus, we have identified three types of relationships between systems and subsystems characterizing the polysystemic approach: the centre versus the periphery (transitions from French); innovative systems versus conservative systems (the emergence of new literary genres in the centre of the field such as sonnets and heroic comedies; in addition the Symbolist and the Impressionist movements replaced the Soviet realism); canonical systems versus non-canonical systems (the introduction to the system of versification of forms and motifs which were different from those of Soviet literature).
Discovering the Other through the Translation of Idiomatic Expressions by Idiomatic Equivalents: The Case of Arabic into French
Authors: Arrame Amal
Published: December 2021

Translation is not simple transpositions operations or transcoding processes from one language to another, it involves complex mental processes where linguistics alone cannot be sufficient. It is a communication situation between two languages, Arabic and French in this case, where the objective of the translator is the transmission of his final product in a clear way, respecting the meaning and the author intention of the original version. Translation of phrases is a real dilemma for translators; however, it turns out that it is a necessity in order to discover the other, and to try to keep the same effect as the source text by giving it a stylistic touch typical to the target language. To this end, we have carefully chosen the corpus that we have translated. A corpus that reflects the originality of the Arabic language and the possibility of reducing the linguistic, cultural and discursive gaps between Arabic and French through translation. The translation processes we have chosen, take into account the target language, French in this case, its idioms, phrases and proverbs inventory, its particularity and, finally, its ability to comprehend the idea contained in the idioms of the source language.

BACKGROUND:

Atezolizumab is an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) and a frontline treatment of patients with cisplatin-ineligible advanced urothelial carcinoma (UC). There is limited evidence on the prognostic value of patient reported outcomes (PROs) in advanced UC treatment, particularly in the context of ICI therapy.

OBJECTIVE:

To investigate the prognostic association of PROs with survival in patients with advanced UC treated with atezolizumab.

METHODS:

This study used data from 467 patients with advanced UC initiating atezolizumab in the IMvigor211 trial. Pre-treatment PROs association with overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) was assessed using Cox proportional hazard analysis. PROs were recorded via the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer QLQ-C30. Discrimination performance was assessed via the C-statistic ( c).

RESULTS:

Patient reported physical function, pain, appetite loss, global health, fatigue, role function, constipation, nausea and vomiting, dyspnoea, and insomnia were significantly associated with OS and PFS on univariable and adjusted analysis ( P < 0.05). Physical function ( c = 0.63), pain ( c = 0.63), appetite loss ( c = 0.62), global health status ( c = 0.62), and fatigue ( c = 0.62), were the most prognostic factors of OS. The OS discrimination performance of physical function ( c = 0.61) was superior to ECOG PS ( c = 0.58). Of patients assessed by investigators as having no performance restrictions (ECOG PS of 0), 38 (18%) and 91 (42%) self-reported low and intermediate physical function scores, respectively.

CONCLUSION:

Pre-treatment PROs were identified as independent prognostic factors of OS and PFS. Patient-reported physical function was more prognostic of OS than ECOG PS. This highlights a potential for PROs to enable improved patient stratification in ICI trials.
ABO blood group and skin cancers
Authors: Jacoub Khaldun , Al-Eisawi Zaynab
Published: December 2021

Beside the role of ABO group in immunohaematology, there is accumulating evidence that the ABO blood group also plays a key role in various human disorders. The interest in blood groups and their association with disease stems from the awareness that blood group antigens are incredibly important components in the process of cell maturation and control. Studies have indicated a link between cancer and the ABO blood group. The appearance or disappearance of blood type antigens is now considered a hallmark of malignancy in many common cancers. Several tumour markers are in fact known blood group antigens. The aim of this review is to describe the history and possible functions of the ABO group and then summarize the association between blood groups and skin cancers.

Nearly all research today has a digital component, and typically, scholarly results are strongly dependent on software. For the research results to be fully understood, the software that is used must be uniquely identified. Research software is frequently developed by researchers themselves, often initially to solve a single problem, and then later generalized to solve additional problems. Ideally, the software is shared so that other researchers can also benefit and avoid the duplicate work required for development and maintenance. The researchers must expect and receive value for their contribution and sharing. Because publishing is a key element of our existing scholarly structures, the research that was done must be clearly explained in papers. This can be used to create incentives for researchers not only to share their software, but also to contribute to community software, in both cases through software citation. Contributors to software that is used in papers and is cited by those papers can become authors of the software as it is tracked by indexes, which also track how often the software is cited.

In 1997, Donald A.B. Lindberg M.D., Director, U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM) agreed to address the request of African malaria researchers for full access to the Internet and medical journals as part of the U.S. National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) contribution to the Multilateral Initiative on Malaria (MIM). This challenge matched my interests and previous experience in Africa. I joined NLM in 1997 to help establish the MIM Communications Network (MIMCom) in partnership with several NIH components and more than 30 other partners in Africa, the U.S., the United Kingdom (U.K.), and Europe. After a successful launch of MIMCom, NLM worked with African partners to create a series of innovative programs with scientists, librarians, journal editors, and medical students to build capacity on the continent and enhance global access to research in Africa.
