Authors: Yan Kai , Jiang Yuxuan
Published: January 2021

The article analyzes the ways of expressing the emotion of РАДОСТЬ (HAPPINESS / JOY) in modern Russian advertising texts. The purpose of the article is to identify the main ways of conveying the emotions and emotional states of РАДОСТЬ (HAPPINESS / JOY) and their cultural specificity in the selected Russian advertising texts. To achieve this goal we have formulated the following objectives: 1) To build a lexical and semantic field of the lexeme РАДОСТЬ (“happiness” / “joy”) in Russian; 2) to build an associative field of the lexeme РАДОСТЬ (“happiness” / “joy”) in the Russian language speakers’ consciousness; 3) to identify the main ways of conveying РАДОСТЬ (HAPPINESS / JOY) in the analyzed advertising texts. The sources of materials are: 1) Russian explanatory dictionaries, Russian associative thesauri, and dictionaries of Russian synonyms; 2) a selection of 100 Russian advertising items made by native Russian speakers dating from 11.2019 to 02.2020. In order to create a lexical and semantic field of the lexeme “радость” (happiness / joy), a number of Russian language dictionaries gave been used, for example: the “Explanatory Dictionary of the Living Great Russian Language” by V. I. Dahl, “Explanatory dictionary of Russian language” edited by D. N. Ushakov, “Dictionary of Russian language” by S. I. Ozhegov and N. Yu. Shvedova, etc. Then we checked on the semantic structure of the lexeme “радость” (happiness / joy) in explanatory monolingual dictionaries of the Russian language as well as in the Dictionary of Synonyms. The Russian associative thesaurus (hereinafter RACES?) was used to build an associative field of the lexeme “радость” (happiness / joy) in the Russian language speakers’consciousness. Based on the analysis, 100 advertising contexts were selected and described with regard to the images conveying the emotion and emotional states of “РАДОСТЬ” (HAPPINESS / JOY), such as facial expression, people’s behaviour, the colour of images). We used descriptive and statistical methods, as well as the methods of semantic analysis and linguo-cultural interpretation. The novelty of the research is that it is by far the first to attempt: 1) To build a semantic field of the lexeme “радость” (happiness / joy) based on the lexicographic analysis; 2) to build an associative field of the given lexeme in the Russian language speakers’ consciousness based on the RACES; 3) to identify the main ways of conveying the emotion РАДОСТЬ (HAPPINESS / JOY) in selected Russian advertising texts; 4) to show cultural specificity of the manifestation of the emotion РАДОСТЬ (HAPPINESS / JOY) in the selected Russian advertising texts. In our opinion, the results obtained during the analysis are relevant to the development of text linguistics and linguoculturology. We hope this work will reveal cultural specificity of the emotion РАДОСТЬ (HAPPINESS / JOY) in Russian linguo-culture, and will contribute to efficient intercultural communication between the speakers of Russian and Chinese languages.
Components of the Concept of “Product Quality”
Authors: Rudenko Evgeniya Yu. , Marukhno Vasilisa M.
Published: January 2021

The category of “quality” is multifaceted, has social, technical, economic legal and other aspects. In the framework of this work, the category of “quality” is considered in relation to the product and only from the standpoint of civil law. Issues of product quality are always relevant, since low-quality goods can not only and not so much infringe on the interests of the person purchasing and / or using the goods, but also the interests of third parties and even the state. Poorquality goods may be unsafe, pose a threat to the life and health of people, their property. Based on the data of philosophical and economic sciences, the authors analyze the components of the concept of “quality of goods”. The authors conclude that, from the point of view of civil law, these include the name of the product, its usefulness for a particular consumer, the ability of the product to be consumed, the presence of the product's consumer properties / readiness of the product for circulation. These components are also considered from the standpoint of objective and subjective qualities.
Tax and Civil Law: Some Aspects of the Relationship When a Legal Entity is Terminated
Authors: Shabanova Irina N.
Published: January 2021

Based on the analysis of civil and tax legislation and the practice of its application, an idea of the relationship between these industries in various ways of termination of a legal entity (voluntary and compulsory liquidation, invalidation of a legal entity and exclusion of an organization from the Unified state register of legal entities) is formed. It is proposed to consider the termination of a legal entity as a General institution for special methods of termination. It is concluded that it is necessary to notify the organization's stakeholders in advance through digital technologies about the upcoming exclusion of a legal entity; to take measures to collect tax debts before excluding an organization from the state register; before forming a list of organizations for exclusion, charge the tax authorities to conduct an analysis of the real state of the taxpayer. It is the tax authority that carries out compulsory liquidation and exclusion from the register, which has a huge impact on the state of subjects of civil turnover.
The Meaning of the Sign “Knowingness” in Establishing Intent
Authors: Ivanov Andrey G.
Published: January 2021

The article, taking into account scientific opinions expressed by scientists at different times and the legislative definition of intent, analyses the characteristic “knowledge” which is used in many norms of the Special Part of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The study emphasizes the relationship between the boundaries of the legislative formula of intent, in particular its intellectual element, and the legal concept under consideration, and on the example of some crimes. The limits of reliability and admissibility of knowledge of certain circumstances within the category “known” and their impact on awareness of public danger and anticipation of socially dangerous consequences are considered. Special attention is paid to the importance of this concept in the structure of the intentional form of guilt and this is done in comparison with the criminal legislation of the Soviet time. The role of the category “knowledge” in ensuring the principle of subjective imputation and compliance with the prohibition of objective imputation in the context of the abolition of this category from criminal law is discussed. In the operative part of the article, it was suggested that the topic should be applied in criminal law.

Published: January 2021

Oxidation is a major chemical process to produce oxygenated chemicals in both nature and chemical industry. Currently, industrial deep oxidation processes from polyalkyl benzene are major routes to produce benzoic acids and benzene polycarboxylic acids (BPCAs), while to some extent suffering from the energy-intensive and potentially hazardous drawbacks and the sluggish separation issues. In this report, visible-light-induced deep aerobic oxidation of (poly)alkyl benzene to benzene (poly)carboxylic acids was developed. CeCl3 was proved to be an efficient HAT (Hydrogen Atom Transfer)catalyst in the presence of alcohol as both hydrogen and electron shuttle. Dioxygen (O2) was found as a sole terminal oxidant. In most cases, pure products were easily isolated by simple filtration, showing the advantages of for scaling up. The reaction provides an ideal way to form valuable fine chemicals from abundant petroleum feedstocks.
Tropylium Salt Promoted Hydroboration Reactions: Mechanistic Insights via Experimental and Computational Studies
Authors: Ton Nhan Nu Hong , Mai Binh Khanh , Nguyen Thanh Vinh
Published: January 2021

Abstract: Hydroboration reaction of alkynes is one of the most synthetically powerful tools to access organoboron compounds, versatile precursors for cross coupling chemistry. This type of reaction has traditionally been mediated by transition metal or main group catalysts. Herein, we report a novel method using tropylium salts, typically known as organic oxidants and Lewis acids, to efficiently promote the hydroboration reaction of alkynes. A broad range of vinylboranes can be easily accessed via this metal-free protocol. Similar hydroboration reactions of alkenes and epoxides can also be efficiently catalyzed by the same tropylium catalysts. Experimental studies and DFT calculations suggested that the reaction follows an uncommon mechanistic paradigm, which is triggered by a hydride abstraction of pinacolborane with tropylium ion. This is followed by a series of in situ counterion-activated substituent exchanges to generate boron intermediates that promote the hydroboration reaction.

Published: January 2021

We report on two new approaches to study H2-producing metalloenzymes using electrochemistry and mass spectrometry, where H+ reduction is driven by hydrogenase within an electrochemically active polymer (redox polymer). Researchers have established electrochemical approaches to utilize the H2-processing metalloenzyme hydrogenase at electrode surfaces. However, it is more-than-often the case that hydrogenase electrodes are employed for H2 oxidation. There is significant interest in using renewable electrical energy to drive low-potential reductive reactions such as H2 evolution and N2 fixation, particularly with metalloenzymes. However, much work is required to understand metalloenzymes.The use of rotating ring disk electrochemistry with hydrogenase is innovative in that it provides a live method to quantify the H2 being produced by the enzyme. This method will be valuable in determining product distributions for such enzymes in real-time, at electrode surfaces.There is also significant interest in utilizing isotopes of enzymatic substrates when performing electrochemistry, since the rate of the reaction corresponds to the current at the electrode. However, researchers of electroenzymatic H+ reduction have yet to utilize online mass spectrometry to analyze the products of hydron reduction. We report on the ability to follow and differentiate the formation of H2, HD and D2 in real-time, permitting the calculation of apparent kinetic isotope effects. This approach will be valuable to characterizing rate-limiting steps involving H+, as well as for other gas-processing metalloenzymes.

The implementation of nano-engineered composite oxides opens up the way towards the development ofa novel class of superior energy materials. Vertically aligned nanocomposites are characterized by acoherent, dense array of vertical interfaces, which allows for the extension of local effects to the wholevolume of the material. Here, we use such a unique architecture to fabricate highly electrochemicallyactive nanocomposites of lanthanum strontium manganite and doped ceria with unprecedented stabilityand straight applicability as functional layers in solid state energy devices. Direct evidence of synergisticlocal effects for enhancing the electrochemical performance, stemming from the highly ordered phasealternation, is given here for the first time using atom-probe tomography combined with oxygen isotopicexchange. Interface-induced cationic substitution, enabling lattice stabilization, is presented as the originof the observed long-term stability. These findings reveal a novel route for materials nano-engineeringbased on the coexistence between local disorder and long-range arrangement.
Large Scale Membrane Movement Induced by a Cation Switch
Authors: John Laura. H. , Preston Gail. M. , Sansom Mark S. P. , Clifton Luke
Published: January 2021

A biomembrane sample system where millimolar changes of cations induce reversible large scale (≥ 200 Å) changes in the membrane-to-surface distance is described. The system composes of a free-floating bilayer (FFB), formed adjacent to a self-assembled monolayer (SAM). To examine the membrane movements, differently charged FFBs in the presence and absence of Ca2+ and Na+, respectively, were examined using neutron reflectivity (NR) and quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) measurements, alongside molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. In NR the variation of Ca2+ and Na+ concentration enabled precision manipulation of the FFB-to-surface distance. Simulations suggest that Ca2+ ions bridge between SAM and bilayer whereas the more diffuse binding of Na+, especially to bilayers, is unable to fully overcome the repulsion between anionic FFB and anionic SAM. Reproduced NR results with QCM demonstrate the potential of this easily producible sample system to become a standard analysis tool for e.g. investigating membrane binding effects, endocytosis and cell signalling.
Substituent Effects of Amines on Genipin Dye Formation – Insights into Dye Origins
Authors: Jeeva Fiona , Caputo Chris
Published: January 2021

Genipin, a naturally occurring iridoid, represents an interesting class of reactive dyes. This colorless molecule produces brilliant blue dyes in the presence of primary aliphatic amines. The mechanism behind this unique reaction has been suggested to proceed via an oxidative polymerization reaction, albeit few studies have investigated this process. By utilizing aromatic amines, we demonstrate that the dye absorption properties can be redshifted to form green dyes as opposed to the blue that is most associated with aliphatic amines. Characterization of the green material with gel-permeation chromatography, mass spectrometry, and electrochemical experiments suggest an alternate structure of the dye molecules and led us to revisit the mechanism behind this reaction. Generation of dyes from the reaction of genipin and methylamine or various aniline derivatives revealed the complete absence of polymeric material and instead revealed a material that contains an open-shell configuration as determined by EPR spectroscopy. Herein we report the first findings that dyes formed from the reaction of genipin with amines form persistent radicals that are likely responsible for their vibrant colors, as opposed to the previously suggested polymer formation.

Authors: Su Guanglong , Thomson Connor J. , Yamazaki Ken , Rozsar Daniel , Christensen Kirsten , Hamlin Trevor , Dixon Darren J.
Published: January 2021

An efficient synthesis of enantioenriched hydroquinazoline cores via a novel bifunctional iminophosphorane squaramide catalyzed intramolecular aza-Michael addition of urealinked α,β-unsaturated esters is described. The methodology exhibits a high degree of functional group tolerance around the forming hydroquinazoline aryl core and wide structural variance on the nucleophilic N atom of the urea moiety. Excellent yields (up to 99%) and high enantioselectivities (up to 97:3 e.r.) using both aromatic and less acidic aliphatic ureas were realized. The potential industrial applicability of the transformation was demonstrated in a 20 mmol scale-up experiment using an adjusted catalyst loading of 2 mol%. The origin of enantioselectivity and reactivity enhancement provided by the squaramide motif has been uncovered computationally using density functional theory (DFT) calculations, combined activation strain model (ASM) and energy decomposition analysis (EDA).

Published: January 2021

This research aimed to identify the factors in peer groups which positively and negatively influence the students’ anxiety in learning English and determine which peer groups have more effect to the students’ anxiety in terms of grouping division by the teacher or by the students. The researcher applied descriptive qualitative research method. The data collection was done through observation and interview. The participants of the research were the second grade students of SMAN 2 Parepare. They were selected by using purposive sampling referring to the English teachers who provide their classrooms in grouping teaching method and also referring to the students who were involved in peer groups. The result of data analysis showed that some factors which positively influence the students’ anxiety in learning English consist of communication skill development, sharing diverse assumption, and collaborative learning. Meanwhile, students’ self-perception, low language proficiency, and peer rejection are factors which negatively influence their anxiety. Besides, competitiveness becomes one factor in peer group which positively and also negatively influence the students’ anxiety in learning English. Furthermore, grouping division by the teacher which created heterogeneous grouping gave better impact to the students’ anxiety in learning than by the students which created homogeneous grouping. Therefore, it is suggested to the English teacher to know how to create a good condition in teaching and learning environment among the students in order that they can do some methods or teaching strategies that provide students to work in a group. They can be more concerned with some factors that cause students’ anxiety and help them to reduce their anxiety in EFL learning.

The aim of this study is to see how an Indonesian studying in the U.S. uses English tense and aspects to produce meaning oral narrative discourses. The Indonesian’s verbatim of narrative discourse is compared to that of a Minnesota-born English speaker studying in a university in the midwestern of the United States. The audio-recorded narrative discourses are transcribed, then foregrounding and backgrounding clauses of each participant’s oral narrative discourse are analyzed to count the number of verbs produced by each participant. The verbs are categorized into past verbs (simple, progressive, pluperfect) and non-past verbs (base forms, present tense, present progressive, present perfect). By analyzing the morphology distribution, the researcher recorded that the Minnesotan participant used past tense more frequently in foregrounding and backgrounding clauses in both narrative tasks, while the Indonesian used more temporal adverbs than that of the Minnesotan.
