Published: December 2023

Wound healing is a considerable problem for clinicians. Ever greater attention has been paid to the role of Chinese herbal monomers and compounds on wound healing. This study aims to elucidate the wound healing mechanism of Modified Hongyu Decoction (MHD) in vivo and in vitro. MHD wound healing activity in vivo was evaluated using an excision rat model. H and E staining, Masson’s staining and immunofluorescence of wound tissue on days 7 and 14 were performed to evaluate the efficacy of MHD on wound healing. Subsequently, human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were used to evaluate wound healing characteristics in vitro. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and scratch assays were conducted to assess the effects of MHD on the proliferation and migration of HUVECs. The involvement of the VEGF/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway was assessed by western blotting. The rats in the MHD group displayed more neovascularization and collagen fibers. Western blotting of wound tissue showed that VEGF, PI3K, p-Akt and p-eNOS expression were significantly increased (p<0.05) in the MHD group. Cell Counting Kit-8 and scratch assays demonstrated that MHD promoted HUVECs proliferation and migration. MHD treatment significantly increased VEGF, PI3K, p-Akt and p-eNOS expression in HUVECs (p<0.05), which was inhibited by LY294002. Both in vivo and in vitro data indicated that MHD promotes wound healing by regulating the VEGF/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Application of a fungicide system on tomato in open ground conditions in Primorsky Krai
Authors: Vanyushkina I. A. , Sinichenko N. A. , Kozar E. G.
Published: December 2023

Relevance. Tomato is one of the most beloved and popular vegetables among Primorye residents. But in the monsoon climate, the Far Eastern Primorye has the most intense infectious background in Russia. The yield losses of tomato fruits from alternariosis annually amount to 30% or more. Losses from late blight on the background of epiphytotics in years with wet and cold summers, as observed in 2019, depending on the stability of the variety, can reach from 17 to 100%. Despite the fact that the development and use of biological means of control has recently been a priority, it is still too early to abandon chemical protection measures. High efficiency and versatility of the correctly selected scheme of application of fungicides, short processing time – all this gives a quick and reliable result in protecting tomato crops and reducing the harmfulness of the complex of diseases.

Methodology. The research was carried out in 2019-2021 at the Primorsky Vegetable Experimental Station (PVES) – a branch of the Federal Scientific Vegetable Center in the monsoon climate of the coastal zone of Primorsky Krai. We studied the effect of chemical preparations Signum, Orvego and their tank mixture with igum + Orvego on the development of diseases, yield indicators and the structure of the tomato crop varieties Odyssey, and Fitilek. Agrotechnics of cultivation are generally accepted in Primorsky Krai for tomato culture.

Results. Testing of chemical fungicides in the conditions of Primorsky Krai showed that the development of alternariasis, starting with the appearance of the first signs of damage in the first half of the growing season, effectively restrains the fungicide Signum, contributing to the preservation of the working leaf surface. It is advisable to use the tank mixture With igum + Orvego starting from the first or second decade of August, when a complex of phytopathogens develops on the leaf surface. The introduction of these two fungicides into the tank mixture leads to an increase in the biological and economic effectiveness of protective measures in the fight against alternariasis and late blight of tomatoes, compared with the standard fungicide Acrobat MC. Joint Signum Processing+Orvego, by reducing the intensity of disease development and the share of the non-commodity part of the crop, has a beneficial effect on the mass of commercial fruit and contributes to a more complete realization of the productive potential of Odyssey and Fitilek varieties.

Published: December 2023

To study the remobilization rate affected by growth regulators in wheat a field experiment was carried out in the south of Iran over 2017-2019 with a split-split plot design and three iterations in completely randomized blocks. The main plots were two irrigation regimes (full irrigation and irrigation interruption at the grain-filling stage), two wheat cultivars (Chamran 2 and Durum Karkheh cv.s) were as sub plots, and four growth regulators (control (no growth regulator), salicylic acid, jasmonic acid, and cytokinin) placed in sub-sub plots. Results revealed the significant impact of the triple interaction on grain yield. The highest grain yield (4803 kg/Ha) was observed for Chamran 2 cv. treated with complete irrigation and salicylic acid. Although grain yield declined by 15.5% in the Karkheh cv. with irrigation interruption at the grain-filling stage and non-administration of growth regulators, treatment with salicylic acid managed to attenuate the adverse impact of drought stress in grain yield. The highest current photosynthesis and its contribution were observed in cultivars treated with complete irrigation. Moreover, irrigation regimen and growth regulators each had significant impacts on proline, catalase enzyme, and stomatal conductance. Overall, results suggested that using salicylic acid in Chamran 2 cv. would be advisable to increase growth and grain yield and reduce decline under stress.

Relevance and methodology. In order to determine the effect of increasing the proportion of far red light (different ratio of red and far red light) in the total spectrum of polychrome irradiation on the growth rates of sugar beet plants of the Smena hybrid, they were grown for 82 days under LED lighting under controlled climate conditions in a Synergotron digital device of the ISR 2.01 model with a twofold increase in the proportion of far red light compared to control.

Results. An increase in the proportion of far red light led to an increase in the specific weight of leaves with a smaller area of leaves in the initial period of plant growth, higher values of the quantum yield of photosynthesis, the rate of electron transport, and a decrease in energy losses mainly to heat. The biometric indicators of plants changed depending on the period of ontogeny. In the initial period, the biomass of the aerial part prevailed, in the subsequent period, the biomass of root crops. In the experimental variant, the accumulation of biomass in the aerial parts of plants in the initial period of the experiment turned out to be less than in the control, and only at the end of the experiment was an excess of the total biomass in the experimental variant by 12.2%. There was an increase in the accumulation of root biomass compared to the control by 38.7%. The predominant part of the aboveground biomass of sugar beet was made up of leaf blades, the proportion of petioles was much less and practically did not depend on the composition of the light. At the end of the growing period, the dry matter content in root crops increased by 2.44% compared to the control, sugar content – by 0.65%. The data obtained can be used in the development of technology for artificial lighting of sugar beets when grown in closed agrobiotechnosystems in order to increase the yield and sugar content of root crops.

Increase in green vegetables popularity in nutrition and medicine promotes investigations of new cultivar and hybrid biochemical parameters. Nutritional value and antioxidant status of three Rumex representatives: Rumex acetosa L. (Krupnolistny cv.), Rumex sanguineus L. (prospect genotype) and Rumex confertus Willd. were studied. Antioxidant defense parameters (total antioxidant activity, polyphenol and ascorbic acid content) decreased in accordance to: Rumex sanguineus L. > Rumes confertus Willd. > Rumex acetosa L. Thus the ascorbic acid content in bloody dock (R. sanguineus)  reached 129 mg/100 g which was 1.48 times higher than in Russian dock (R. confertus) and 3.17 times higher than in garden sorrel (R. acetosa). The total chlorophyll content was also the highest in bloody dock (17.74 mg/g d.w.) compared to 15.88 mg/g in R. confertus and 13.07 mg/g in R. acetosa leaves. The new R. sanguineus genotype was characterized by high decorative properties and demonstrated twice higher oxalic acid content compared to R. acetosa, Krupnolistny cv., and 1.5 times higher value than in R. confertus. High decorative and medicinal value of R. sanguineus was connected to a great extent with the intensive anthocyanin accumulation reaching 7.2% and high nitrate content. The results of the present study indicate high prospects of R. sanguineus genotype utilization in landscape design, food industry and medicine.

Published: December 2023

Medicinal plants and preparations thereof are widely used in the treatment and prevention of many diseases. The demand of the pharmaceutical industry for herbal medicinal raw materials is met by culturing these plants. Pharmaceutical factories can be fully supplied with medicinal raw materials both by expanding the area and by increasing the yield of cultivated crops, which is achieved by using high-quality seeds of promising varieties in the required amount. In recent years, in the conditions of the Western Ciscaucasia in the medicinal crop rotation of the North Caucasus branch of VILAR, studies have been conducted to study the possibility of increasing the seed productivity of Echinacea purpurea L., Сhamomilla recutita L., Plantago major L. and Salvia officinalis L., which occupy an important place in the modern range of medicines used in official and traditional medicine. To this end, experiments were laid on the complex test of humic fertilizers (Lignogumat, Normat L) with growth regulators (Zircon, Agat, Gibbersib) and chelated micro-fertilizers (Siliplant and Cytovit)

As a result of the studies carried out on echinacea, an increase in the yield of seeds and an improvement in their quality was established on the Lignogumat + Agate variant (by 31%), and on sage and chamomile – Lignogumat + Zircon (by 28% and 39%, respectively), the weight of 1000 seeds exceeded the control by 8-15%. Non-root feeding of echinacea and plantain with Lignogumat and Normat L with silicon-containing microfertilization Siliplant ensured increase of seed productivity by 14-16%, mass of 100 seeds increased by 8-10%. Thus, by using complexes of humic preparations with growth regulators and silicon-containing microfertilization Siliplant as effective means of regulating the growth and development of medicinal cultures, activating flowering and seed formation processes, it is possible to ensure high yield and the best quality of the resulting seed material.

Relevance. Foliar feeding when growing vegetables is due to its positive effect on quality and yield indicators. The use of microfertilizers for foliar feeding allows optimizing the absorption of nutrients by plants, which can not only reduce economic costs, but also regulate the accumulation of biologically active substances. Identifying the optimal fertilizing system for different varieties and hybrids of vegetables is especially important in risky farming areas, where the main factor regulating yield indicators is weather.

Methodology. The purpose of the work is to conduct a comparative assessment of the effectiveness of foliar feeding of the white cabbage variety Zimovka 1474 different agrochemicals. In a field experiment for three years (2018-2020), the effect of microfertilizers, humate, chelates and a biostimulator on the yield, biochemical and microelement composition of white cabbage variety Zimovka 1434 was studied.

Results. It has been shown that the biometric characteristics of cabbage are best influenced by foliar fertilization with microfertilizer Aquarin and the biostimulator BIS-65, and the total and marketable yield is influenced by microfertilizer in chelate form Helaton. The greatest accumulation of dry matter, sugars, and vitamin C was typical for variants using the biological product BIS-65 and chelated fertilizers (Tiaton, Helaton). Chelated fertilizers also contributed to an increase in the accumulation of elements such as potassium, calcium, iron, zinc and manganese in cabbage heads.

Selected peasant issues of the 1930s in the opinions of Warsaw literary magazine columnists (Wiadomości Literackie, Prosto z Mostu, and Pion)
Authors: Bańkowska Małgorzata
Published: December 2023

In the press of the interwar period, among the group of Warsaw opinion-forming periodicals, the three largest literary and social weeklies dominated – the liberal Wiadomości Literackie, the pro-Sanacja Pion and the right-wing Prosto z Mostu. These periodicals shaped the artistic tastes and socio-political views of the progressive intelligentsia. They commented on the most important events of literary and social life, including those related to the activity of rural residents. The article contains the results of a comparative analysis of the speeches of critics and columnists of the capital’s literary magazines in the 1930s, relating to selected forms of social, cultural and political activity of peasants (literary and diary works, as well as strike actions). The study deals with the main themes of press discussions and literary critical essays, referring to the constitutive features of peasant literature, the social image of the village (Jalu Kurek’s novel Grypa szaleje w Naprawie), the living conditions of peasants (Pamiętniki chłopów) and their political attitudes (the Great Peasant Uprising). The interpretation of press materials allowed for the formulation of conclusions about the press image of a cruel and hungry peasant, culturally excluded, and deprived of a chance to change his living conditions. The demands for the social advancement of peasants put forward by columnists of Warsaw magazines were mostly declarative and conservative.
Fieldnotes from ethnographic research in rural areas of the Polish Jurassic Highland as a record of the process of becoming an anthropologist
Authors: Ludwiczak Kamil
Published: December 2023

This article is based on research conducted in rural areas of the Polish Jurassic Highland by first-year ethnology and cultural anthropology students as part of their first field exercises. One of their tasks was to keep fieldnotes, which provided an insight into the young anthropologists’ experiences. Based on an analysis of these notes, I decided to inscribe the process of becoming an anthropologist into the pattern of the rite of passage according to the model proposed by Arnold van Gennep. The purpose of the article is to analyze and interpret the students’ notes and present the point of view of a young researcher – including myself, the author of this article, who participated in this research – on the Polish countryside and the role of the field in the “anthropological initiation.” Making fieldnotes is not only a technique or method of producing anthropological knowledge, but also a source of information about the researcher’s inner experiences during their professional initiation. The article investigates how the specificity of the rural areas of the Polish Jurassic Highland (as the first research field) influenced the process of the symbolic transformation of a student into an anthropologist.
Investigating the Expression of NMDA Receptors and Cognitive Function in Children with ADHD: A Comparative Study
Authors: Haghshenas Sajad , Reza Zarrindast Mohammad , Nasehi Mohammad , Khalifeh Soolmaz , Hasani-abharian Peyman
Published: December 2023

Emerging evidence from clinical, genetic, and animal model studies suggests that N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate receptors (NMDAR) may contribute to the pathophysiology and etiology of neurological and psychiatric disorders. Patients with impaired NMDA receptors often experience psychological symptoms. Therefore, we hypothesized that NMDAR receptors play a key role in the development of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). In this comparative analytical study, we utilized the Western blotting method to assay the expression levels of NMDA subunits NR1 and NR2 in the blood plasma of 50 male individuals diagnosed with ADHD, comparing them to 20 healthy controls. The findings from the Western blotting analysis provide support for the hypothesis that individuals with ADHD exhibit significantly lower levels of NR1/2 receptors compared to those without the disorder. Further research is needed to explore the potential causal relationship between reduced NR1/NR2 receptor levels and the development of ADHD.

Published: December 2023

Framboids of pyrite were found in bituminized argillic metasomatites of the Mikheev porphyry copper deposit (Southern Urals). A wide occurrence manifestation of low-temperature metasomatism — argillization — is a feature of the rock complex of this deposit. According to the results of thermoweight analysis, the values of organic matter in bituminized argillic metasomatites correspond to kerite. The organic matter support the habitation of microbial communities, including the presence of element-depositing bacteria. The use of high-resolution scanning electron microscopy allowed identifing preserved mineralized biofilms and accumulations of extracellular biopolymers, including seeds of forming pyrites. Such morphological features suggest on a bacteria formation of the framboidal pyrites of the argillizites of the Mikheev deposit.

Zakaz kastracji w prawie rzymskim
Authors: Rominkiewicz Jarosław
Published: December 2023

Niniejsza praca poświęcona jest rzymskim zakazom dotyczącym kastracji. Cesarstwo rzymskie było jedynym państwem antycznym, którego władcy starali się przeciwdziałać temu okrutnemu zabiegowi. We wstępie Autor przedstawił m.in. aktualny stan badań dotyczących wybranego przez niego tematu oraz podstawową terminologię dotyczącą osób poddanych kastracji. Dwa pierwsze rozdziały są wprowadzeniem do tematyki, która stanowi główną część rozprawy. W pierwszym z nich Autor przedstawił kastrację jako praktykę religijną, stosowaną głównie przez kapłanów Kybele, jako karę oraz terapię medyczną. W rozdziale drugim Autor ukazał czwarte zastosowanie kastracji w Rzymie – kastrację niewolników. Ranga i zasięg tego zjawiska spowodowały nieuniknioną reakcję na nie w prawie rzymskim. W rozdziale trzecim omówione zostały przedjustyniańskie zakazy kastracji w prawie rzymskim. W rozdziale czwartym Autor ukazał zwięźle, jak do kastracji podchodzili wyznawcy religii chrześcijańskiej.

Published: December 2023

[Purpose] This paper aims to empirically investigate the impact of the federally funded Title I program on the performance of students from low-income families, as assessed through the state's own assessments. Additionally, the study seeks to discern the relative effectiveness of two specific program, namely the school-wide program and the targeted assistant program, to see which program is more effective.
[Methods] To accomplish these objectives, the research leverages two national data sets from 2008-09 to 2013-14, sourced from the U.S. Department of Education's EDFacts and the National Center for Education Statistics' Common Core of Data. Employing fixed-effects and mixed-effects models with the school-level data, the study conducts a rigorous examination of the program's impact across various grade levels.
[Results] The findings of this study reveal that the Title I program exerts substantially positive effects on academic outcomes of economically disadvantaged students in lower grades, with moderate positive effects observed in middle grades. However, no discernible impact is observed at the high school level. In terms of the specific program effects, lower grade levels exhibited higher achievement when implementing the “school-wide program”, whereas high schools showed lower achievement. Conversely, transitioning from the “targeted assistant program” to the “school-wide program” demonstrated positive effects only at the high school level.
[Conclusion] The results of this study demonstrate the importance of prioritizing investments in early grades when providing educational services or support to students in need. As students progress to higher grades, there is a need to design and implement programs that are tailored to their levels and circumstances. Furthermore, in allocating education finances for low-income groups, prioritize elementary schools for 'whole-school programs,' and support high schools in developing the capacity to run comprehensive programs.

The representation of the concept ‘angel’ in the novels of F.M. Dostoevsky
Authors:   Tyumen State University, Nikitina Tatyana Yu.
Published: December 2023

The paper analyzes the representation of the concept ‘angel’ in the novels of F.M. Dostoevsky. The content of the concept ‘angel’, which is an important component of Dostoevsky’s conceptosphere, is also described. Universal content of the concept ‘angel’ in Dostoevsky’s works is represented in the context of philosophical problems of his works, which are expressed in the foundation of the human’s contradictory spiritual choice in the situation of chaos; in the necessity of a personal path to the divine truth and meaning of existence. Especially noted the inconsistency of human perception of the concept ‘angel’, which combines an exalted adoration of the deity with a desire to destroy it. The concept of ‘angel’ in Dostoevsky’s interpretation has universal features descending from the biblical interpretation of the image, but it is also included in the philosophical issues outlined. ‘Angel’ appears both in its absolute, universal meaning and also as the embodiment of human reflection — as an internally contradictory narrative, a message about the simultaneous greatness and falling of man. The intrinsic conflict of the conceptual content of the ‘angelic’ manifests through both profane and noble perception and usage of it by the protagonists. However, there is no conflict in the true destiny of the hero, who realizes the mission of an angel in the world. The concept passes from the verbal level to the event level, and at this level it loses its inner conflict and is embodied in the basic meaning of the concept of angel, losing its subjectivity and contradictory human interpretations.

The October Revolution marked the beginning of colossal changes in the Russian state, which could not by pass the cultural life of the people. The role of writers at that time acquired some specific features, for example, a move a way from artistic activity towards more realistic works. That is why this article is devoted to the journalistic work of writers of that time who stood on opposite sides of the civil war after the October Revolution of 1917: the future emigrant I.S. Shmelev and the first chair man of the Union of Soviet Writers M. Gorky. The author of the article analyzed their journalistic texts, in which both writers reacted vividly to there volutionary events, put forward hypotheses for the further development of events and identified those responsible for the deplorable state of the country. Analysis of the journalistic texts of both writers reveals a number of common positions, but also differences due to their opposite world views. Comparison of common and opposing points of view is the main core of the article and allows the author to identify the views of writers, which at that time were partly either desire or just personal hypotheses. Correctness can only be determined today with a time delay of more than a hundred years. As a result of the analysis, it was revealed that both writers understood the need for changes in Russian society, but they perceived the process it self and the desired result (i.e., the salvation of the Motherland) in completely different realities.

The complex creative history of M. Gorky’s novel “The Life of Klim Samgin” is characterized by the constant development of his original idea, which was the result of a writer’s deep artistic and philosophical understanding of the changing sociohistorical context. This process took place in parallel with Gorky’s work on the novel. During his stay in Sorrento, Gorky gave several interviews to the Italian press (in 1926, 1927 and 1928), which were devoted to the writer’s work on “The Life of Klim Samgin”. These are the following interviews: the interview “Maxim Gorky and his new novel “Researcherˮ for newspaper Il Mezzogiorno on March 23–24, 1926; the interview “Gorky’s new novel” — to Corriere della Sera on January 29, 1927, reprinted by Il Giornale d’Italia on January 30, 1927 under the title “Gorky writes a great historical novel in Sorrento”; the interview “At Maxim Gorky’s Sorrento asylum. A conversation with the writer about his new novel “Forty Yearsˮ — to the newspaper Il Messaggerо on June 5, 1927 (its summary was published by Corriere della Sera on June 6, 1927); the interview “Maxim Gorky’s sixtieth birthday” — to the newspaper Il Messaggero on March 30, 1928. During these three years, the writer created the first (winter 1924–1925 or spring 1925 — the end of June 1926) and the second (summer 1926 — the end of February 1928) parts of the “Life of Klim Samgin”. The writer’s interviews reflected the gradual clarification of the time, setting and the scope of the novel, its title, volume and structure, the psychological type and the occupation of the main character.

“What do you know about my name?” (Anthroponyms functioning in Chinese-American transcultural literature)
Authors:   Far Eastern Federal University, Lupacheva Tatiana A.
Published: December 2023

The article deals with the problem of anthroponyms as a means of creativity in transcultural literature. The analyzed material was taken from “The Bonesetter’s Daughter” novel written by a contemporary Chinese American writer Amy Tan. The author of the article comes to a conclusion that anthroponyms can be a very effective and bright means of creativity, a kind of intersection of cultures, reflecting an author’s individuality. The norms and traditions of such different languages and cultures are so tightly interwoven and create an absolutely new transcultural narration. In this connection it is absolutely impossible to consider anthroponyms just a mere means of nomination, lacking any cultural connotation and value for the reader. Thus, anthroponyms create not only the nominative function but also the aesthetic function as well as the function of ethnic coloring.
