INSL3: A Marker of Leydig Cell Function and Testis-Bone-Skeletal Muscle Network
Authors: Facondo Paolo , Delbarba Andrea , Maffezzoni Filippo , Cappelli Carlo , Ferlin Alberto
Published: September 2020

This article reviews the role of INSL3 as biomarker of Leydig cell function and its
systemic action in testis-bone-skeletal muscle crosstalk in adult men. Insulin-like factor 3 (INSL3)
is a peptide hormone secreted constitutively in a differentiation-dependent mode by testicular
Leydig cells. Besides the role for the testicular descent, this hormone has endocrine anabolic functions
on the bone-skeletal muscle unit. INSL3 levels are low in many conditions of undifferentiated
or altered Leydig cell status, however the potential clinical utility of INSL3 measurement is not yet
well defined. INSL3 levels are modulated by the long-term cytotropic effect of the hypothalamicpituitary-
gonadal axis, unlike testosterone that is acutely sensitive to the stimulus by luteinizing
hormone (LH). INSL3 directly depends on the number and differentiation state of Leydig cells and
therefore it represents the ideal marker of Leydig cell function. This hormone is more sensitive
than testosterone to Leydig cell impairment, and the reduction of INSL3 in adult men can precociously
detect an endocrine testicular dysfunction. Low INSL3 levels could cause or contribute to
some symptoms and signs of male hypogonadism, above all sarcopenia and osteoporosis. The measurement
provided suggested that the measurement of INSL3 levels should be considered in the
clinical management of male hypogonadism and in the evaluation of testicular endocrine function.
The monitoring of INSL3 levels could allow an early detection of Leydig cell damage, even when
testosterone levels are still in the normal range.
Biological Responses to Hydrogen Molecule and its Preventive Effects on Inflammatory Diseases
Authors: Ohsawa Ikuroh
Published: September 2020

Because multicellular organisms do not have hydrogenase, H2 has been considered to be biologically
inactive in these species, and enterobacteria to be largely responsible for the oxidation of H2 taken into the
body. However, we showed previously that inhalation of H2 markedly suppresses brain injury induced by focal
ischemia-reperfusion by buffering oxidative stress. Although the reaction constant of H2 with hydroxyl radical
in aqueous solution is two to three orders of magnitude lower than that of conventional antioxidants, we
showed that hydroxyl radical generated by the Fenton reaction reacts with H2 at room temperature without a catalyst.
Suppression of hydroxyl radical by H2 has been applied in ophthalmic surgery. However, many of the anti-
inflammatory and other therapeutic effects of H2 cannot be completely explained by its ability to scavenge reactive
oxygen species. H2 administration is protective in several disease models, and preculture in the presence
of H2 suppresses oxidative stress-induced cell death. Specifically, H2 administration induces mitochondrial
oxidative stress and activates Nrf2; this phenomenon, in which mild mitochondrial stress leaves the cell less susceptible
to subsequent perturbations, is called mitohormesis. Based on these findings, we conclude that
crosstalk between antioxidative stress pathways and the anti-inflammatory response is the most important
molecular mechanism involved in the protective function of H2, and that regulation of the immune system underlies
H2 efficacy. For further medical applications of H2, it will be necessary to identify the biomolecule on
which H2 first acts.
The Regulatory Role of Rho GTPases and their Substrates in Osteoclastogenesis
Authors: Gao Lin , Kong Lingbo , Zhao Yuanting
Published: September 2020

Pathological bone loss diseases (osteolysis, Paget’s diseases) are commonly caused by
the excessive differentiation and activity of osteoclasts. The Rho GTPases family members Rac1/2
(Rac1 and Rac2) have been reported for their special role in exerting multiple cellular functions
during osteoclastic differentiation, which includes the most prominent function on dynamic actin
cytoskeleton rearranging. Besides that, the increasing studies demonstrated that the regulating effects
of Rac1/2 on the osteoclastic cytoskeletal organization are through the GEFs member Dock5.
Although the amount of relevant studies on this topic is still limited, several excellent studies have
been reported that extensively explored the molecular mechanisms involved in Rac1/2 and Dock5
during the osteoclastogenesis regulation, as well as their role as the therapeutic target in bone loss
diseases. Herein, in this review, we aim to focus on recent advances studies for extensively understanding
the role of Rho GTPases Rac1/2 and Dock5 in osteoclastogenesis, as well as their role as a
potential therapeutic target in regulating osteoclastogenesis.
Correlation Between Dexamethasone and miRNAs in the Regulation of Apoptosis, Drug-resistance, and Metastasis of Cancer Cell
Authors: Mohammadi Leila , Mosayyebi Bashir , Imani Mahsa , Zarghami Nosratollah , Alizadeh Effat , Rahmati Mohammad
Published: September 2020

Dexamethasone (Dex) is a synthetic corticosteroid hormone derived from the
steroid chemical group and is applicable in treating several pathological conditions like
inflammation, autoimmune disease, and malignancies. Recent investigations on the
mechanism of action of Dex and its possible interactions with other cellular regulatory
networks may help explain the inconsistent effects of Dex in cancer treatment. Finetuning
regulation of essential post-transcriptional regulators such as microRNA
(miRNAs) has indispensable impacts on modulating fundamental cellular processes,
including gene expression, cell proliferation, cell cycling, and apoptosis. Dex appears to
act as a double-edged sword on cancer cell progression and metastasis through
regulating miRNA networks. As a proof of concept, recent investigations have proved
Dex to be effective in treatment of cancer either individually or in combination with other
therapeutical compounds, while several evidences have point to the controversial effects
of Dex in the promotion of cancer cell survival, drug-resistance, and metastasis. In
addition, it has been proven that other non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) can also be directly
or indirectly affected by Dex. In this review, we aimed to investigate the controversial
effect of Dex on the cancer-related miRNAs.
Evaluation of Serum Ferritin and Anti-Thyroid Peroxidase Antibody Status in Newly Diagnosed Subclinical Cases of Hypothyroidism
Authors: Tiwari Rajlaxmi , Saharia Gautom Kumar , Mangaraj Manaswini
Published: September 2020

Background:

Serum ferritin concentrations are altered in hypothyroidism, but there is
no available literature regarding the status of serum ferritin in anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO)
positive hypothyroidism. The objectives of our study were to evaluate the titer of anti-TPO and
serum ferritin in newly diagnosed hypothyroid patients and to find out any difference in serum ferritin
concentration between antibody-positive and antibody-negative patients.

Methods:

A total of 143 subjects above the age of 18 years were recruited, and serum Thyroid Stimulating
Hormone (TSH), free T3, free T4, anti-TPO, and ferritin were assayed by chemiluminescence
method. According to their serum analysis findings, three groups were made as Group 1 of
49 subjects with hypothyroidism and anti-TPO positive, Group 2 of 47 subjects with hypothyroidism
and anti-TPO negative, and Group 3 of 47 euthyroid and anti-TPO negative controls.

Results:

Kruskal Wallis H test was applied, and the difference in concentration of TSH, FT3, FT4,
Ferritin, anti-TPO amongst the three groups was found to be significant. The relationship between
anti-TPO levels and serum ferritin concentration was further studied by multinomial logistic regression.
We have found that there is a significant difference between the concentrations of ferritin;
hence, it is highly likely that those with a high level of anti-TPO antibody shall have a higher concentration
of serum ferritin.

Conclusion:

Ferritin concentrations were decreased in anti-TPO negative hypothyroidism, but in
the case of anti-TPO positive hypothyroidism the ferritin concentrations are raised. Hence, hypothyroidism
should not always be considered as an iron deficiency state.

Authors: Karahan Yılmaz Sevil , Rakıcıoğlu Neslişah
Published: September 2020

In hemodialysis patients, the prevalence of malnutrition is high; a decrease in muscle strength is observed.

 The objective of the research was to evaluate the nutritional status of hemodialysis patients and the relationship between the nutritional status and muscle strength.

Materials and Methods. Sixty hemodialysis patients (38 males, 22 females) were chosen from among volunteers. Food consumption, biochemical values, anthropometric measurements, body composition, physical activity status, subjective global assessment, and handgrip strength in individuals were examined.

Results. According to subjective global assessment, 73.3% of patients were well-nourished, 26.7% of patients were moderately malnourished. In male patients, a moderate positive correlation was determined between handgrip strength and lean body mass (r=0.359, p<0.05), albumin level (r=0.408, p<0.05), energy intake (r=0.437, p<0.05), protein intake (r=0.345, p<0.05). In female patients, a moderate positive correlation was determined between handgrip strength and body weight (r=0.470, p<0.05), body mass index (r=0.472, p<0.05), triceps skinfold thickness (r=0.530, p<0.05), mid-upper arm circumference (r=0.515, p<0.05), mid-upper arm muscle circumference (r=0.557, p<0.05), lean body mass (r=0.470, p<0.05), body fat content (%) (r=0.588, p<0.05), albumin level (r=0.565, p<0.05).

Conclusions. Handgrip strength alongside with more than one method of food consumption, biochemical parameters, subjective global assessment, anthropometric measurements, and body composition should be used for assessing the nutritional status in hemodialysis patients.
Study of Salivary Stress Factor Activity in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus During the Period of Adaptation to Complete Removable Laminar Dentures
Authors: Leybyuk Lyubov , Rozhko Mykola , Rozhko Olena
Published: September 2020

Diabetes mellitus is referred to as non-communicable epidemic of the 21st century and the fight against diabetes is one of medical and social challenges. One of its complications is damage to periodontal tissues that is accompanied by tooth loss. Any removable denture is a foreign body being a stress factor for the oral cavity.

The objective of the research was to study dynamic changes in the activity of stress factor indicators, namely salivary cortisol, glucose and alpha-amylase levels in diabetic patients after prosthodontic treatment with complete removable laminar dentures.

Materials and Methods. For this study, patients at the age of 45 to 74 years were divided into two groups: Group I included 52 edentulous patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who were treated with acrylic resin complete removable laminar dentures; Group II comprised 52 edentulous patients without endocrine pathology who were treated with acrylic resin complete removable laminar dentures as well. Saliva served as the study material. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to determine salivary cortisol levels. Glucose concentration in saliva was determined by a unified enzymatic method. Alpha-amylase activity was determined by the enzymatic colorimetric method.

Results. According to the research results, before prosthodontic treatment, salivary cortisol levels of patients with diabetes mellitus were 2.4 times higher as compared to patients without somatic pathology. In phase I of adaptation to complete removable laminar dentures, in patients with diabetes mellitus, salivary cortisol concentration increased drastically by 1.4 times as compared to the indicator before prosthodontic treatment (5.61±0.83 ng/ml vs. 4.02±0.65 ng/ml, p<0.01), while in the group of patients without endocrine pathology, cortisol levels increased by 1.2 times; salivary glucose level of patients with diabetes mellitus increased by 1.3 times, while in patients without endocrine pathology, it increased by 1.1 times; in patients of Group I, salivary alpha-amylase levels increased by 1.2 times, while in patients of Group II, salivary alpha-amylase concentration increased by 1.05 times.

Conclusions. In patients with diabetes mellitus, changes in saliva composition indicate a significant reduction in the adaptation mechanisms, that complicates and significantly prolongs the period of adaptation to complete removable laminar dentures.
Pemanfaatan Teknologi Pemilu Di Tengah Era Post Truth: Antara Efisiensi dan Kepercayaan
Authors: Mahpudin Mahpudin
Published: September 2020

Teknologi pemilu merupakan sebuah keniscayaan di era digital. Berbagai kemudahan yang ditawarkan oleh teknologi telah mendorong banyak negara memanfaatkan teknologi untuk membantu penyelenggara pemilu melaksanakan demokrasi elektoral. Indonesia termasuk negara yang menggunakan teknologi dalam pemilu. Namun dalam pelaksanaannya, teknologi pemilu tidak serta merta menghasilkan efisensi dan efektifitas. Misalnya, penggunaan aplikasi SITUNG (Sistem Penghitungan Suara) untuk proses rekapitulasi suara berbasis online justru menimbulkan polemik di tengah masyarakat menyangkut kepercayaan publik yang dipicu oleh adanya kesalahan teknis penyelenggara pemilu. Hal ini diperparah dengan hadirnya isu negatif dan kabar bohong selama pemilu sebagai konsekuensi dari era post truth. Artikel ini membahas penggunaan teknologi pemilu dalam proses tahapan rekapitulasi suara melalui SITUNG pada pemilu 2019 yang menghadirkan perdebatan antara efisensi dan kepercayaan publik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemanfaatan SITUNG dalam proses rekapitulasi suara menjadi kontroversial sebab adanya kesalahan teknis yang dilakukan oleh penyelenggara pemilu dalam prises input data ke SITUNG memicu keraguan dan kecurigaan publik. Momentum ini dimanfaatkan oleh calon kandidat dan elit politik yang kalah dalam pemilu untuk memobilisasi massa agar tercipta public distrust yang pada akhirnya berujung pada upaya untuk mendelegitimasi hasil pemilu. Hal tersebut semakin diperkeruh di tengah era post truth yang ditandai dengan hadirnya isu negatif dan berita palsu menggunakan media sosial.
Kawula Tani di Bawah Sepatu Lars: Militer dalam Program Upsus Pajale Tahun 2015–2017 di Kabupaten Sleman, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta
Authors: Muh.Kamim Anggalih Bayu
Published: September 2020

Kajian ini mendalami terkait upaya pelibatan institusi militer dalam mobilisasi petani untuk mencapai peningkatan produktivitas pangan melalui program Upsus Pajale. Program tersebut menjadi upaya dari Presiden Joko Widodo untuk melibatkan tentara, demi mencapai swasembada pangan pada tahun 2017. Studi ini adalah penelitian kualitatif deskriptif dengan strategi studi kasus pada pelaksanaan program Upsus Pajale di Kabupaten Sleman pada tahun 2015–2017. Pengambilan data dilakukan dengan observasi, wawancara mendalam, teknik dokumentasi, dan triangulasi. Berbeda dengan studi sebelumnya yang melihat bahwa peran militer dalam program pangan disebabkan oleh faktor doktrin dan kelembagaan militer, hasil kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa peran otoritas politik dalam menerjemahkan kebijakan pangan sebagai bagian dari sektor pertahanan telah memberikan ruang bagi militer terlibat pada program pangan. Adanya Reformasi tahun 1998 yang mendorong penataan internal angkatan bersenjata tidak lantas menghilangkan peran militer dalam program pangan sebagai konsekuensi dari tafsiran otoritas politik mengenai ancaman internal pertahanan dan keamanan. Kehidupan petani kembali berada pada subordinasi militer yang menjadi alat penguasa untuk menyukseskan peningkatan produksi pertanian melalui program Upsus Pajale.

Authors: Korshunov A. B.
Published: September 2020

Reduction of energy consumption in technological processes of cooling and storage milk on farms is urgent task.

(Research purpose) The research purpose is in reducing the energy intensity of the milk cooling process on farms while maintaining its quality.

(Materials and methods) The authors conducted research to improve existing and create new smart combined cooling systems based on the rational use of natural and artificial cold sources with means of its accumulation and environmentally friendly coolants with low freezing point.

(Results and discussion) The authors have found the dependence of the amount of energy that can be used for cooling and storage of milk and dispersed into the environment on the potential of natural cold of the area and the location of the technological object. The article presents a methodology for assessing the potential of natural cold for different regions of Russia. According to the methodology, authors calculated the values of the ice storage capacities for dairy farms with different livestock and annual milk yield. The article presents the diagram of electric energy savings when using natural cold to cooling milk on farms of 400 heads with a yield of 5000 liters in different climatic regions of Russia. Significant energy savings can be obtained through the use of combined accumulators of natural and artificial cold using environmentally friendly coolants with low freezing point and ground ice storage, in which the freezing of soil and water is carried out due to the ground cooling thermal installation with twophase thermosyphons.

(Conclusions) The use of smart combined milk cooling systems on farms on the basis of sources of natural and artificial cold with means of its accumulation and environmentally friendly coolants with low freezing point allows to reduce energy consumption in 1.5-3 times at preservation of its quality. At the same time, such systems in various configurations can be effectively used in all agroclimatic regions of the country.
Artificial Soil Environment Justification for Laboratory Studies of Wear and Traction Characteristics of Soil-Cutting Working Bodies
Authors: Liskin I. V. , Mironova A. V.
Published: September 2020

The authors presented the results of laboratory studies of artificial soil based on sand-paraffin mixtures, reflecting the physical and mechanical soil properties with the presence of plant residues. They conducted tests to determine the soil-cutting working bodies’ traction resistance during tillage with the presence of root and crop residues.

(Research purpose) To substantiate the parameters of an artificial soil environment containing models of root and crop residues for laboratory studies of the wear and traction characteristics of soil-cutting working bodies operated on post-harvest, virgin and fallow farmland.

(Materials and methods) An artificial soil environment was developed by introducing filamentous components 5-25 millimeters long into its composition.

(Results and discussion) The authors determined the criteria of geometric similarity “model – nature” for the soil conditions of the Non-Black Earth Zone of Russia. It was found that the equality of the criteria “model – nature” for laboratory research of fallow lands occurred when the length of the  filamentous components was from 20 mm and the concentration was from 20 segments per unit cross-sectional area when passing 0.1 meter in artificial soil. It was revealed that for modeling old arable lands, the length of the filamentous components should exceed 5 millimeters, the concentration should be from 10 segments per 0.1 meter of the length of passage in artificial soil. The authors conducted field tests of arable units on fallow and old arable lands.

(Conclusions) The authors found out that the equality of the geometric criteria for the similarity of the artificial soil environment and real soil conditions allowed laboratory studies of the wear and traction characteristics of the tillage working bodies’ blades. It was determined that more than 30 percent of energy costs were accounted for by breaking the root system of the vegetation cover on virgin and fallow lands.

Authors: Epifantsev V. V. , Osipov Ya. A. , Vaytekhovich Yu. A.
Published: September 2020

The authors showed that strip sowing with the paw plowshare allows soybean plants to branch better, and branches with leaves of nearby rows do not close for a long time, mowing vegetation between the strips reduces the total number of weeds, the chemical load on the crops, and ensures environmental safety of the products.

(Research purpose)To determine the seed distribution parameters by the paw plowshare according to the area of the sowing strip and the depth of seed placement, to establish the effect of the plowshare of different types on the weediness of crops and soybean yield after various preceding crops.

(Materials and methods)The authors studied the equability of soybean seeds distribution with the paw plowshare on the surface of the grooved tub, adhesive tape, and in the soil according to the following indicators: spread width, number of seeds per unit area, and placement depth. They conducted a comparative field experiment; in different years according to meteorological conditions, on a typical meadow black earth soil, soybean was sown with seeders with plowshare of two designs after various preceding crops: steam, wheat and soy.

(Results and discussion)It was determined that the paw plowshare the specified sowing row width of 0.18-0.20 meters at the channel soil at a depth of 0.05 meters. The deviation from the equability of the sown seeds distribution over the area was determined 0.93-1.56 percent. It was found that strip sowing with the paw plowshare and further mowing of weeds between the strips reduced the weediness of soybean crops after fallow land by 67.7 percent, after wheat by 66.5 percent and after soybean by 65.4 percent, increasing its yield compared to ordinary sowing with a disc plowshare.

(Conclusions)The authors established a regular increase in soybean productivity when sowing with the paw plowshare: after naked fallow – by 0.59 tons per hectare, after wheat – by 0.51, after soy – by 0.21 tons. They suggested using seeders with paw plowshare 0.2 meters wide at a distance of 0.6 meters from each other for growing ecologically safe soybean seeds in the Amur region.

Correspondence between Leonid Zurov and Viktor
Manuilov (1961  –1967)
Authors: Lyubomudrov Alexei
Published: September 2020

For the first time а complete correspondence between Leonid Zurov
(1902  –1971), the writer of the Russian Diaspora, and Viktor Manuilov (1903  –1987),
a famous literary researcher, is introduced into a scientific usage. The main theme of
their letters is the problem of transferring to Russia Ivan Bunin’s manuscript and memorial heritage, of which Zurov became the owner. The publication clarifies the reasons why the long and hard negotiations ended without any success. It allows to define
more exactly the details and circumstances of this case. The correspondence affects
the names of many key figures of cultural life both of the Russian abroad and Metropolitan area. It characterizes those persons who actively supported the return of
Bunin's legacy as well as officials who blocked the process. The material reflects the
struggle of Russian writers, scientists, museum curators against the Soviet bureaucratic machine for which Bunin was always ideologically alien. It paints a picture of the
public sentiment and the Soviet cultural policy of the 1960s. Some letters concern Zurov’s articles devoted to M. Lermontov as well as his work on the novel “Winter Palace”. The publication allows to clarify Zurov’s psychological portrait and to identify a
number of significant episodes in the V. Manuilov’s scientific biography
Two letters by the Amfiteatrovs to Petr Krasnov:
Finishing the project
Authors: Cheron George
Published: September 2020

Journalist, prose writer, playwright Alexander Amfiteatrov and Ataman
of the Great Don Army General Petr Krasnov, the author of numerous novels and short
stories, belonged to the older generation of Russian émigré writers. Amfiteatrov lived
in Italy, and Krasnov in Paris, and they communicated by mail. Their correspondence
that began in 1927 lasted more than 10 years, until Amfiteatrov’s death. The previously
published large complex of their letters contains not only significant additions to
the literary biography of correspondents, but also an important information on the
political, social, and literary history of the Russian Abroad in the 1920s and 1930s.
Moreover, Krasnov’s letters are only a small part of the huge Amfiteatrov émigré
collection, researched by the author of this publication in collaboration with Oleg
Korostelev with plans to devote several books of the Amfiteatrov volume in the
academic series “Literary Heritage” to these materials. This publication presents two
recently discovered letters to Krasnov, written by Amfiteatrov himself and by his
widow, reporting on her efforts to collect a book in her husband's memory during the
outbreak of World War II.
Bibliography of Georgy Chulkov’s literary and critical
works of 1903 –1922
Authors: Bogdanova Olga
Published: September 2020

Bibliography of literary and critical works (books, articles, reviews,
conversations, notes, “letters”, etc.) by Georgy Ivanovich Chulkov (1879 –1939),
compiled and published on these pages for the first time, gives an idea of the range of
creative interests and the evolution of aesthetic views of one of the major literary and
cultural figures of Russian Symbolism in the first two decades of the 20th century. Poet,
translator, novelist, playwright, literary critic and journalist, publisher, and since the
1920s also a literary critic, who created serious scientific works about A.S. Pushkin,
F.I. Tyutchev, F.M. Dostoevsky and other writers, and memoirist, author of valuable
memoirs about the literary life of the Silver Age “Years of travel” (1930), Chulkov was
also a sensitive theater and art critic, who collaborated with V.F. Komissarzhevskaya,
V.E. Meyerhold, M.V. Dobuzhinsky, E.E. Lansere, Z.A. Serebryakova and others.
Having linked his creative fate with such iconic magazines of the Silver Age as “Novyi
put'”, “Voprosy zhizni”, “Zolotoe runo”, and then “Narodopravstvo”, whose editorial
policy he influenced and in some cases determined, Chulkov often and regularly acted
as a literary critic, ideologist of literary trends of “mystical anarchism” and “mystical
realism”, a fighter for the social and national significance of contemporary literature.
Chulkov's literary criticism is not only an important part of his creative legacy, but
also an irreplaceable feature of the complex and diverse literary movement of the first
two decades of the 20th century
Ivan Buninʼs prose works.
An approach to the choice of copy texts for a critical edition
Authors: Dvinyatina Tatiana , Morozov Sergey
Published: September 2020

This article discusses the choice of copy texts to serve as the basis of
a critical edition of Ivan Bunin's prose works. The issue of choosing copy texts has
been most thoroughly dealt with in regard to Bunin's poetry, while the text criticism
of his prose works is still at an early stage. The multiple stages Bunin's works went
through both before and after their publication require methods of presenting his
texts to be elaborated which take into consideration both his own work on them and
their impact on literary history and on contemporary readers and critics. The present
article embodies a first general approach to this subject and outlines a variety of
possible solutions to the problems raised. Four groups of Bunin's prose works are
examined — those from his early, pre-revolutionary and émigré periods, and those
he left unpublished — and an approach to choosing copy texts for each group is
explained. A suitable volume structure in a future critical edition of Bunin's works
is described. Problems posed by the correct dating of Bunin's stories are analyzed in
relation to their chronological position within a future critical edition and the choice
of copy texts for them. The basic principles underlying the choice of copy texts of
Bunin's prose for a complete scholarly critical edition of his works are presented in
conclusion. The article emphasizes that it is impossible to fulfill the last creative will
of the author due to the incompleteness of his work with his legacy (selection of works
for future editions, uncoordinated editing).
Anti-Bunin pamphlet by Ivan Nazhivin
Authors: Bakuntsev Anton
Published: September 2020

This publication continues the theme “I.F. Nazhivin vs I.A. Bunin”
which was brought up earlier in one of the issues of “Literaturnyi fact”. Ivan
Fedorovich Nazhivin (1874– 1940), a writer and publicist well-known in the Russian
émigré circles, a follower of Leo Tolstoy, knew Bunin personally and corresponded
with him for many years. The publication introduces into scientific circulation
Nazhivin’s article-pamphlet “The County Moncher” (1934), the autograph of which
(an unauthorized typescript) is stored in I.A. Bunin’s collection in the Russian State
Archive of Literature and Art. Presumably, it is this text that the author intended
to publish in the émigré press. The introductory article gives a brief description of
the autograph, and also argues the choice of a more completed version of the text
for publication. The basic principles of editing and commenting the material for
publication are outlined.

Authors: Mashuri M. , Rahman R.
Published: September 2020

The aging process of asphalt in the pavement layers of asphalt concrete road occurs when mixing in the Asphalt Mixing Plant and during the road service period. The asphalt aging process when mixing is called short-term aging and aging during the road service period is called long-term aging. AC - WC mixture is a wear layer and it is on the top layer of the surface which allows characteristics change that are influenced by several environmental factors (air, temperature and sunlight). This study aims to know the effect of asphalt aging on the characteristics of AC - WC mixture with Marshall method on some asphalt content  that are 4.5%, 5.0%, 5.5%, 6.0%, 6, 5% and 7.0%. For testing on short-term aging (Short - Term Oven Aging, STOA) is by testing the mixture specimen AC - WC at 135o C before solidified for 4 hours and for long-term aging (Long - Term Oven Aging, LTOA) was carried out by testing the mixture specimen AC - WC at 85o C for 2 - 5 days. The results of this study found that asphalt aging had an effect on the characteristics of AC - WC mixture. Values of density, VFB, stability, flow tend to decrease with age. While VIM and VMA values tend to increase with age. Aging caused the mixture to became more rigid.
An Analytical Study on Pierre Boulez’s Le Marteau sans maître
Authors: Saman Samadi
Published: September 2020

Since its 1955 premiere, Le Marteau sans maitre, by Pierre Boulez, has consistently been regarded as one of the more important modernist compositions of the post-war era. Certainly, it ranks among the best-known works of Pierre Boulez and our purpose is to see if we can uncover some of its structures. This composition, based on a text by René Char, was written for alto voice, flute, viola, guitar, vibraphone, and percussion. Before Le Marteau, Boulez had created some other serial works: Structures I for two pianos, Polyphonie X for eighteen instruments, and another tour-de-force, known as the Second Piano Sonata which gained him an international reputation back in 1950. Although many have attempted to analyze Le Marteau's serial organization, Lev Koblyakov has been considered successful in analyzing it. Boulez’s multiple serial compositional techniques have been greatly illuminated through Koblyakov’s work; taking this as my touchstone, I will herein discuss a few of the compositional strategies utilized by Boulez.
Beyond the territory principle: Non-territorial approach to the Kosovo question(s)
Authors: Ceriman Jelena , Pavlovic Aleksandar
Published: September 2020

This article presents an attempt to approach the dispute over Kosovo between
Serbs and Albanians from a non-territorial perspective, with particular
focus on the preservation of the Serbian cultural and religious heritage.
First, we argue that the Kosovo issue is at present commonly understood as
an either-or territorial dispute over sovereignty and recognition between
Serbian and Kosovo Albanian politicians. However, we claim that a lasting
resolution to the Kosovo issue actually needs to account for at least three
separate aspects: 1) status of Northern Kosovo which is ethnically Serbian
and still maintains various ties with the Serbian state, 2) status of
Serbian cultural and religious heritage, chiefly UNESCO world heritage
Serbian medieval monasteries and churches and 3) the fact that the Serbian
population in central Kosovo, i.e. south of the river Ibar, where most of
the mentioned monasteries and churches are located, are located in small
municipalities or enclaves of Serbs surrounded by vast Albanian populations.
We examine the applicability of the non- territorial approach (NTA) to the
Kosovo issue by analyzing the normative framework directly regulating the
Serbian cultural and religious heritage in Kosovo, its preservation and
protection, particularly of Serbian Orthodox monasteries, churches and other
historical and cultural sites, while comparing these regulations to the
existing normative NTAs in Croatia and Montenegro. Arguably, since most
Serbian monasteries and churches are not included in any sovereignty
negotiations, we point to the potential to combine territorial and
non-territorial approaches, regardless of the continued obstacles in
implementation arising from continued contestation of Kosovo?s sovereign
status.
The possibilities and limits of non-territorial autonomy in securing indigenous self-determination
Authors: Shikova Natalija
Published: September 2020

Non-territorial autonomy (NTA) incorporates a mixture of different
arrangements such as consociationalism and national-cultural autonomy (NCA),
and forms of representation that de-territorialize self-determination. The
paper analyses NTA possibilities in reaching indigenous self-governance and
reveals the dilemmas in the applicability of NTA for securing the right to
self-determination of indigenous peoples. Although the practice points
towards some positive examples and successes of NTA institutions related to
ingenious peoples (e.g. S?mi Parliaments), the question remains whether NTA
holds sufficient potential for addressing indigenous needs upheld by the
international principle ?right to land, territories and traditionally owned
resources.?
Brand Loyalty and Repurchase Intention of a Coffee Brand: The Roles of Sensory Attributes, Functional Benefit, and Brand Ambassador
Authors: PANGARIBUAN CHRISTIAN HAPOSAN , PAULINA PUTRI , THAHAR DAIRION

The trend of drinking coffee has resulted in an increase of coffee consumption around the world, including Indonesia. This study investigates the roles of sensory attributes, functional benefit, and brand ambassador towards the intention to repurchase which leads to brand loyalty of Luwak White Koffie. This study uses a quantitative approach by using primary data and distributed questionnaires to 100 employees of various corporations in Jakarta. The data was analyzed through regression analysis. The result of this study shows that functional benefit has a significant influence on both intention to repurchase and brand loyalty. This benefit factor is the most important precedent to both repurchase intention and brand loyalty.  On the other hand, sensory attributes do not affect repurchase intention. This type of information can be important to predict or to explain the market response to luwak coffee products, and also to select which sensory attribute(s) should be included in a sensory specification or must be considered in product quality control programs. Another important finding is that, contrary to our expectations, we do not find empirical support for the significant influence of brand ambassador on an intention to repurchase and brand loyalty. The explanation may be that customers currently expect the functional benefit in the form of healthier gastric-friendly white coffee. Moreover, the brand ambassador may not be too influential in the high buying decision among luwak coffee consumers. The relevant contributions that emerged from this study include not only bridging the aforementioned gap in the literature but also offering significant managerial implications to assist organizations to understand the importance of functional benefits toward repurchase intention and brand loyalty.
