SURVEYING TIME: HANNAH DUSTON’S CAPTIVITY NARRATIVE IN THE WORKS OF HENRY DAVID THOREAU
Authors: RAȚIU Iuliu , ENE Bettina
Published: December 2024

During the turbulent times of Colonial America, skirmishes between European settlers and Native Americans were frequent and in one such incident Hannah Duston was taken captive. Duston and two other captives, Mary Neff, the wetnurse of Duston’s late newborn, and 14year-old Samuel Lennarson, made their escape by murdering and scalping their captors. With hatchet and scalps in her hands, Duston later became a symbol of Puritan America and famous nineteenth-century writers, such as Nathaniel Hawthorne, John Greenleaf Whittier, and Henry D. Thoreau told her story both as a cautionary tale and as a fictional reimagination of Early American life. This article focuses on the ways in which Thoreau, as a travel and nature writer and as a land surveyor, uses Duston’s captivity narrative to reinscribe violent deeds within the realm of natural history.

Authors:   Tajik Research Institute of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Perinatology, Dushanbe, Republic of Tajikistan, Ishan-Khodzhaeva Farangis , Karimova Rakhima ,   Sughd Regional Maternity Hospital, Khujand, Republic of Tajikistan
Published: December 2024

Objective: To analyze the rates and categories of preterm births (PTB) in maternity care facilities providing various levels of maternity care in the Sughd
Province, Republic of Tajikistan (RT).
Methods: A comprehensive review was conducted based on the annual reports spanning from 2019 to 2023 of the Sughd Regional Maternity Hospital
(SRMH), the City Maternity Hospital (CMH), and the maternity department of the Central District Hospital (CDH) named after B. Ghafurov in the Sughd
Province, RT. The review aims to evaluate the rates of PTB, including an analysis of the distribution of PTB by gestational age and clinical circumstances.
The study compared the maternal care provided at Level II facilities, which offer specialty care, with those at Level III, which provide subspecialty
care. This comparison also considered changes over the years as part of evaluating trends. The data analysis involved the use of both parametric and
nonparametric statistical methods.
Results: In the past 5 years, there has been a noticeable increase in the rates of PTB in various maternity care facilities across the Sughd Province, RT.
However, there has been a positive trend of reduced late PTB rates alongside a rise in PTB rates before 35 weeks of pregnancy, specifically in a Level
III facility. This trend indicates an overall improvement in the referral system's effectiveness within the Sughd Province, RT. Furthermore, it has been
observed that the ratio of spontaneous PTB to medically induced PTB varies in relation to the level of the maternity care facility. Level II facilities tend
to experience more spontaneous PTB cases, while level III facilities see a higher proportion of PTB due to the necessity for early delivery. Additionally,
the prevalence of cesarean sections (CS) in cases of PTB ranges from 8.9% to 27.9% across facilities of different levels.
Conclusion: Understanding the significance of addressing the lack of progress in reducing PTB, especially those occurring at gestational ages of less
than 32 weeks, is crucial for improving maternal and infant health outcomes. These data have implications for preventing PTB, ensuring the availability
of beds in neonatal intensive care units, and evaluating the maternity and newborn capability levels of the maternity care facilities.
Keywords: Premature birth, facilities of different levels, gestational age, spontaneous premature birth, induced premature birth, cesarean section rate.

POPULISM AND DE-EUROPEANIZATION OF THE FOREIGN POLICY IN RELATION TO THE ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN CONFLICT: THE CASE OF ROMANIA
Authors: GHEORGHE Daniel
Published: December 2024

Although often perceived as just a regional matter, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict developed as part of the larger, global environment. This aspect is confirmed by the multitude of actors involved in the effort to provide a balanced perspective on the relations between Israel and Palestine. In this context and despite a seeming alienation, the EU continues to remain a relevant actor in shaping certain dynamics in relation to the conflict. In many of these cases, an important role is played by certain populist initiatives supported by the Romanian government in order to generate an ideational socialization with Israel and certain Central and Eastern European governments in relation to the EU’s position on Israel. In this context, the research will be focusing on analysing the connection between the elements shaping this common ground and the main ideological lines guiding the subsequent interactions between the Israeli and the Romanian government during the presidency of Donald Trump.

Authors: Lidzhieva Lyudmila Alekseevna , Golubeva Evgeniya Vladimirovna , Mandeev Naran Yurievich , Lidzhieva Dzhirgal Mingiyanovna
Published: December 2024

This article presents an analysis of the dialect features of the Torgut dialect of the Kalmyk language based on the material of the prose of the Kalmyk writer N.M. Mandzhiev and expedition records collected during the implementation of the RNF research project "Electronic Dialectological Atlas of the Mongolian languages of Russia: basic vocabulary". N.M. Manjiev was one of the founders of Kalmyk literature and made a significant contribution to the development of the literature of the Kalmyk people. He belonged to the representatives of the Torgut ethnic group. In this regard, the dialect features characteristic of the Torgut dialect are preserved in its early editions. In parallel, the material recorded during the expedition to the Republic of Kalmykia according to the 100-word list of Svodesh was used. The subject of this study is the phonetic, grammatical and lexical features of the Torgut dialect. The object of the study is the Torgut dialect, characterized by its proximity to the historical basis. The work uses such methods of linguistic analysis as descriptive, lexical-semantic, comparative-typological and distributive. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that the dialectological material presented in the works of N.M. Mandzhiev and field recordings has not yet been practically studied. The research material was the examples selected by the method of continuous sampling from the works of N.M. Mandzhiev. For comparison, field material was used, which was collected during an expedition to the Republic of Kalmykia. The material made it possible to identify features related to the pronunciation of words, the influence of historical vowels on the modern language, the use of case affixes other than the literary language, as well as the semantics of lexemes having a narrow-local existence.

Mass media have historically played a crucial role in shaping societal values and advancing political ideologies. This study aims to identify the distinctive features of the ideological functions and political characteristics of Chinese media at various stages of their development. The object of the study is Chinese media as an instrument of state power and a mechanism of ideological influence. The subject of the study is the evolution of the ideological functions of Chinese mass media throughout different stages of their development. The research employs historical, comparative, systemic, and functional analysis. The novelty of the study lies in its comprehensive examination of the transformation of Chinese media through the lens of their political functions and ideological objectives. The study emphasizes that Chinese media play a pivotal role in promoting party ideals, ensuring political stability, and shaping international discourse. The key findings of the research are as follows: 1. The dynamic process of adaptation by Chinese media to changes in social and political conditions is evident. 2. The critical role of media in fostering public consensus and legitimizing governmental authority is highlighted. A notable contribution of the author is the systematic classification of the stages in the evolution of Chinese media—from complete politicization to more subtle forms of political activity, and eventually to re-politicization in the modern era. The study illustrates the uniqueness of China’s media system, which blends national and international objectives, thereby strengthening political order domestically and advancing the nation’s interests on the global stage. This research is valuable for scholars and political scientists studying the history of communication, the use of media to achieve political goals, agenda-setting, and political propaganda.

Published: December 2024

In this study, a TiO2-based bias-enhanced photocatalytic system was prepared with the aim of achieving high photocatalytic activity in deionized as well as in saltwater systems. Highly ordered TiO2 nanoporous materials were fabricated via a double-anodization method. A small potential bias was applied that suppresses electron-hole recombination and deters interference from the ions present in the solution while minimizing electrochemical reactions. Photodegradation reactions involving Rhodamine B (RhB) were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of the nanomaterials with and without the applied bias. Our experimental results revealed that the synthesized TiO2 nanomaterials possessed high photochemical activity under UVA light, substantially enhanced with the applied bias. A very significant enhancement was observed when the Bias Enhanced Electrolytic Photocatalysis (BEEP) system was used in saline solutions. Higher photocatalytic efficiency was achieved with the increase in the salinity level in the reaction mixture. These bias-enhanced nanomaterials were successfully tested for the degradation of per- and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS), recognized as a significant threat to the environment and human health. The results indicated that the presented technology could eliminate a wide range of fluorinated molecules. The simplicity, efficacy and scalability of the new BEEP approach described in this study make the use of TiO2-based advanced oxidation process (AOP) possible in designing high-performance water purification technologies applicable to fresh and salt water.
Modeling Structural Flexibility in 3D Carbon Models: A Hybrid MC/MD Approach to Adsorption-Induced Deformation
Authors: Corrente Nicholas , Parashar Shivam , Gough Raleigh , Hinks Elizabeth , Ravikovitch Peter , Neimark Alexander
Published: December 2024

Predicting adsorption-induced deformation in nanoporous carbons is crucial for applications ranging from gas separations and energy storage to carbon capture and enhanced natural gas recovery, where structural changes can significantly impact material performance and process efficiency. The interplay between adsorption and material deformation presents both challenges and opportunities, particularly for CO₂-CH₄ displacement processes in geological structures where matrix swelling can alter reservoir permeability. We investigate adsorption-induced deformation of nanoporous carbons using an original hybrid Monte Carlo/Molecular Dynamics (MC/MD) simulation approach that couples adsorption sampling with structural relaxation. By studying CH4 and CO₂ adsorption on 3D carbon structures of varying densities (0.5-1.0 g/cm³), we demonstrate characteristic non-monotonic deformation behavior, with initial contraction at low pressures followed by expansion at higher pressures. A key contribution is the direct calculation of isothermal compressibility of adsorbate saturated porous structures from the volume fluctuations during NPT-MD simulations, which reveals dramatic mechanical property changes during adsorption. In the process of adsorption, carbon structures exhibit initial softening followed by substantial hardening, with a dramatic increase of the volumetric modulus in denser carbons. Using elastic theory relationships, we estimate the adsorption stresses reaching 175 MPa, that provides crucial insights into potential material degradation mechanisms. For binary CH₄/CO₂ mixtures, increasing CO₂ content amplifies both contraction and expansion effects due to stronger fluid-wall interactions. The iterative MC/MD methodology enables direct observation of the structural evolution and quantitative estimates of the mechanical properties, which are difficult to measure experimentally, advancing our understanding of coupled adsorption-deformation processes in nanoporous materials.
Solvation Thermodynamic Costs of forming Cognate Binding Site Formation
Authors: Ji Yeonji , Molino Vjay , Ramsey Steven , Kurtzman Tom
Published: December 2024

Proteins are inherently flexible which complicates the identification of lead molecules that are shape and charge complementary to target proteins. While significant effort has been dedicated to exploring alternate protein conformations, solvation thermodynamics has typically not been integrated into these studies. Here, we study how solvation thermodynamics fluctuate as proteins adopt different conformations. We analyze solvation thermodynamics within the binding cavities of conformations for which side chains are mobile in molecular dynamics simulations and compare these to conformations for which they remain restrained about the cognate bound structure. We identify structural motifs that present significant costs to the sampling of cognate ligand bound structures. We find that the reorganization of protein side chains has a significant effect on the structure and thermodynamics of binding site solvation. We discuss how understanding the interplay between solvation thermodynamics and protein structural fluctuations is crucial for both discovering alternative binding pockets, estimating the contribution to binding affinity of displacing water upon ligand binding, and assessing revealed cryptic pocket bindability.

Published: December 2024

Monolayer assembly of charged colloidal particles at liquid interfaces opens a new avenue for advancing the additive manufacturing of thin film materials and devices with tailored properties. In this study, we investigated the dynamics of electrosprayed colloidal particles at curved droplet interfaces through a combination of physics-based computational simulations and machine learning. We employed a novel mesh-constrained Brownian dynamics (BD) algorithm coupled with Ansys® electric field simulations to model the transport and assembly of charged particles on a non-spherical droplet surface. We demonstrated that the electrostatic repulsion between particles, electrophoretic forces induced by substrate surface charge, and Brownian motion are the key factors influencing the compactness and ordering of the assembly structure. We further trained a deep neural network surrogate model using the data generated from the BD simulations to predict radial distribution functions (RDF) of particle assembly. By coupling the surrogate model with Bayesian optimization, we identified the optimal particle and substrate charge densities that yield the best match between the simulation and experimental assembly. Using the optimal charge densities, the RDF profile of the simulated assembly accurately matches the experiment with a similarity of 96.4%, and the corresponding average bond order parameter differs by less than 5% from the experimental one. This deep-learning-based approach significantly reduces computational time while maintaining high accuracy in predicting the important features of the assembly structures. The charge densities inferred from the modeling provide critical insights into the surface charge accumulation in the electrospray process.

Published: December 2024

Since the era of the widespread introduction of antibiotics into the human sphere of activity, the problem of antimicrobial resistance has become an urgent and very important topic around the world. Recently, coagulasonegative staphylococci (CoNS), which are representatives of opportunistic microorganisms of the microbiome of the skin and mucous membranes of healthy people, have made a certain contribution to its progression. For a long time, they did not pose a threat to patients, but in recent decades among microorganisms they have been seeded in more than two-thirds of patients with postoperative mediastinitis, catheter-associated infections, as well as from wounds of the neck vessels and the inguinal region separated by pacemaker beds. This paper discloses, using clinical examples, the significance of CoNS in the formation of systemic inflammatory response syndrome in patients with a burdened comorbid background (type II diabetes mellitus, grade 3 arterial hypertension). During the examination of patients, it was shown that skin defects are foci of persistent bacteremia of representatives of the CoNS group, which can cause the development of a systemic inflammatory infectious response with the formation of resistant strains of the opportunistic flora of the microbiome of the skin and mucous membranes. It has been shown that to determine the tactics of antibacterial therapy, a bacteriological study of all detected foci of infection in patients, screening of pathogens and their sensitivity to antibiotics, and especially in persons at risk, is necessary. This will increase the effectiveness of antibacterial therapy and reduce the possibility of forming resistant strains of pathogens.

Published: December 2024

Aim. To study the prognostic significance of hematologic indices: neutrophils/lymphocytes (N/L), platelets/lymphocytes (P/L) and lymphocytes/C-reactive protein (L/CRP) in relation to the complicated course of new coronavirus infection (COVID-19), as well as their correlation with COVID-19 course severity indices and endothelial dysfunction marker sVCAM-1.
Materials and methods. 103 patients with new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) were included in the study. Based on the data of multispiral computed tomography (CT) of the chest organs, all patients were divided into 3 groups: CT group 1 – 30 patients, CT group 2 – 62 patients and CT group 3 – 11 patients.
Results. The values of N/L and P/L were significantly higher in patients of CT group 3 compared to patients of CT group 1 and CT group 2. L/CRP index, on the contrary, significantly decreased with increasing CT-degree of lung lesion. The concentration of endothelial dysfunction marker sVCAM-1 was significantly higher in patients of CT-3 and 2 groups compared to patients of CT-1 group – 272.7 [267.4; 342.6] ng/mL and 212.5 [90.3; 335.6] ng/mL vs 120.0 [75.3; 189.2] ng/mL. Significant correlations of the studied hematologic indices with clinical, laboratory and instrumental characteristics of COVID-19 severity were found. P/L and L/CRP indices were associated with sVCAM-1 concentration in blood (r=0.28 and -0.33 respectively; p0.05). The values of N/L2.53 and L/CRP≤0.043 are predictors of the development of cytokine storm in the examined patients.
Conclusion. Hematologic indices N/L, P/L and L/CRP are correlated with clinical, laboratory and instrumental characteristics of COVID-19 severity, presence of endothelial dysfunction (P/L and L/CRP) and allow predicting the development of cytokine storm (N/L and L/CRP).

Aim. To evaluate the efficacy of the antiviral drug riamilovir (trade name – «Triazavirin®») for the prevention of SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19) and other acute respiratory viral infections in young people from organized groups.
Materials and methods. The study involved 386 individuals aged 18–22 years: 199 received riamilovir at a daily dose of 250 mg for 15 days, while 187 did not receive prophylactic drugs. For 30 days, disease occurrence was monitored among volunteers. In case of illness, the duration, severity of clinical manifestations, complications, and pathogen elimination dynamics were assessed via PCR from nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs.
Results. During riamilovir administration, a statistically significant reduction in cases of acute respiratory viral infections of non-coronavirus etiology was observed, with no COVID-19 cases reported, confirmed by the absence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in this group. The shortest duration of acute respiratory viral infections was noted in patients taking the prophylactic drug.
Conclusion. Riamilovir (trade name – «Triazavirin®») showed statistically significant prophylactic efficacy during its administration in an organized group. Its use decreased the frequency of detection of viral pathogens and resulted in milder acute respiratory disease, likely due to reduced viral load in individuals.
Issues of treatment and prevention of recurrent inflammatory diseases of the upper respiratory tract: An immunologist's view. A review
Authors: Shul'zhenko Andrei E. , Zuikova Irina N. , Shchubelko Rosalia V.
Published: December 2024

Often ill people are, first of all, patients with recurrent infectious and inflammatory diseases of the upper respiratory tract (URT). They put a significant financial burden on the healthcare system. The leading etiological factors of recurrent inflammatory diseases of URT, in addition to pathogenic bacterial microflora, are viral agents (viruses of the viral respiratory infections group, herpes viruses). The chronic infection and recurrence of local inflammation is due to the persistence of resident bacterial and viral flora (including herpes viruses), and as a result, the insufficiency of the mucosal immune response. In order to optimize therapeutic and preventive measures for frequently ill adults and children, the most promising is the use of immunotherapy and immunoprophylaxis. The immunomodulator inosine pranobex, due to its unique combined (immunotropic and antiviral) properties, demonstrates effectiveness in the complex treatment of viral respiratory infections, including in combination with herpes viruses, and is successfully used to prevent frequent relapses of infectious and inflammatory diseases of the URT. The domestic analogue of inosine pranobex Normomed® [JSC "Valenta Pharm"», ЛП-№(002470)-(РГ-RU), ЛП-№(005542)-(РГ-RU)], has a good safety and bioequivalence profile, and occupies a worthy field in the Russian pharmaceutical market among drugs recommended for the treatment of viral infections in adults and children.

HARI-HARA: TRADITION OF SYNCRETISM IN SOUTH EAST ASIA SPECIAL REFERENCE TO BRAHMAPUTRA VALLEY
Authors: Baruah Chinmoy Jyoti , Patowary Kamal Nayan
Published: December 2024

This research article  aims at examining the tradition of syncretism in Southeast Asia with a special reference to the region of the Brahmaputra Valley and in connection with the deity Hari-Hara. Eclecticism implies the integration of various information flows, religious, cultural, and philosophical, which has been traditionally significant for the formation of spiritual and social models in the areas with interactions of several traditions. In Southeast Asia particularly the Khmer Empire, the syncretism of Shaivism and Vaishnavism together with Hindu and Buddhists is evident in the worship of Hari-Hara; Vishnu- Shiva. This syncretic practice was not only a sign of religious tolerance but also expressed political power and social integration under kings such as Jayavarman VII embodied in temple architectures including Angkor Wat and Bayon temples. By contrast, the case of the Brahmaputra Valley in India can be singled out as the example of syncretism between tribal and Brahmanical practices when the local indigenous cults were gradually intertwined with the Hindu ones and produced such localized forms of Hari-Hara. The Deopani Hari-Hara sculptures of the Doiyang Dhansiri Valley elucidate the syncretization of classical Brahmanical elements with tribal regional forms. While syncretism in the Khmer Empire was more political, more centrally driven and less successful than the one in the Brahmaputra Valley which was predominantly the result of protracted social contact and the Bhakti movement’s stress on individual devotion and tolerance. The research article also shows how Hari-Hara became an important identity for religious and cultural syncretism in both regions, allowing the harmonious interaction of different religions and improving political authority. Analyzing artistic, architectural and socio-political aspects of Hari-Hara worship in this study reveals the values of syncretism as a function of integrationist in maintaining social cohesion as well as preserving the political authority. Finally, the comparison of the Brahmaputra Valley with mainland Southeast Asia brings further understanding of the processes that produce and sustain syncretic religious cultures, enriching religious diverse topographies of these areas.

Para enfrentar os desafios impostos pelos megaeventos, a adoção do conceito de cidades inteligentes
surge como uma estratégia promissora para maximizar benefícios e mitigar impactos negativos.
Exemplos como Barcelona após as Olimpíadas de 1992 e a Copa do Mundo de 2014 no Brasil ilustram
a importância de ações específicas, como o planejamento urbano sustentável, a participação cidadã
desde o início do processo e a gestão ambiental. Essas abordagens são fundamentais para garantir que
os benefícios sejam duradouros e equitativamente distribuídos. Os princípios das cidades inteligentes
podem potencializar o impacto econômico, cultural e turístico de eventos desportivos e culturais,
abrangendo desde grandes eventos internacionais até menores. A realização da COP30 no Brasil oferece
uma oportunidade estratégica para aprofundar a reflexão sobre cidades inteligentes e suas estratégias de
desenvolvimento sustentável, destacando seu papel na mitigação dos impactos adversos desses eventos.
Em síntese, a aplicação integrada e estratégica da abordagem de cidades inteligentes estabelece um
paradigma replicável em outras áreas urbanas, facilitando a construção de um futuro urbano mais justo,
eficiente e sustentável. Essa abordagem, que combina inovação, inclusão e sustentabilidade, visa criar
comunidades mais resilientes e preparadas para os desafios do século XXI.

Authors: Santos Matheus N. , Santana Maria Polliana B S.
Published: December 2024

Introduction: Malignant neoplasia of the cervix is a public health problem that affects women around the world, generating a significant number of deaths. The main cause of this neoplasia is persistent infection with the Human Papillomavirus (HPV), with other risk factors, such as smoking, immunosuppression and early onset of sexual activity, also playing an important role. Treatment may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these. Goals: To describe the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of cervical malignancy between 2013 and 2022 in Bahia.
Method: Descriptive ecological study based on data collected by the Brazilian Oncology Panel of DATASUS. The numbers of diagnoses for malignant neoplasia of the cervix in Bahia between 2013 and 2022 were analyzed. Variables analyzed: municipality of residence; age; age group; staging; therapeutic modality. Results: In the period analyzed, 8,512 cases were reported in Bahia. With a peak in 2019, of 1,222 cases (14.35%), and a lower number in 2014, with 547 cases (6.42%). In the Northeast, Bahia led the cases with 20.13%, followed by Pernambuco (18.31%) and Maranhão (15.58%). About the patients: the most affected age group was between 40 and 44 years old, with 13.54% (Graph 1). In staging, the most prevalent grade was 3, with 33.86%. The most adopted therapeutic modality was radiotherapy (48.64%). Conclusion: In the last decade, malignant neoplasia of the cervix has shown a significant increase in Bahia, driven by advances in diagnostic methods and the increased incidence of this type of cancer in the population. However, a significant proportion of patients were observed in advanced stages, indicating possible late diagnoses. These results highlight the continued importance of effective prevention strategies, such as HPV vaccination and regular screening tests.
