Influential Factors Affecting the Adoption Intention of Electric Vehicles in Indonesia: An Extension of the Theory of Planned Behavior
Authors: Ray Daffa Refor Multi , Harito Christian
Published: October 2023

The primary goal of the thesis was to examine the factors that affect the willingness of people in Indonesia to adopt Electric Vehicles (EVs). Given the pressing need in Indonesia to address energy shortages and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, this research aimed to investigate the elements that influence people's inclination to use EVs. In this study, questionnaires were used as a means of measurement. Respondents were provided with a brief explanation before completing the survey. Using an extended TPB (Theory of Planned Behavior) model, the research analyzed the adoption intentions of 310 respondents from Indonesia, following a minimum sample guideline of 200. The collected data was analyzed using smartPLS4 to extract insights. The empirical analysis of the research focused on five key factors: attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, environmental concern, and moral norms. Notably, the empirical results showed that while attitude had an insignificant impact on the adoption intention of EVs in Indonesia, the other factors subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, environmental concern, and moral norms had a significant and positive influence on the intention to embrace electric vehicles in the country. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the extended TPB model is suitable for predicting the adoption intention of electric vehicles. Considering these results, the study explores the implications for EV adoption in Indonesia, offering valuable insights and recommendations for future research and for the Indonesian government's decision-making process regarding the factors that influence EV adoption.

Authors: Majiid Muhammad Rizki Nur , Setiawan Karli Eka
Published: October 2023

In this study, we address the challenge of predicting the Social Cohesion Index in Jakarta through a comprehensive analysis of machine learning models. Finding the most accurate and effective predictive model for this crucial urban evaluation task is the primary goal of our research. We use a variety of machine learning algorithms, comparing their performance using metrics like Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE), and computational cost. These algorithms include Gradient Boosted Decision Trees (GBDT), Polynomial Regression, Random Forest, Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP). It should be noted that GBDT stands out as a top performer, regularly displaying outstanding accuracy with a competitive MAE of 0.692, RMSE of 0.887, and MAPE of 25.59%. The computational efficiency of GBDT is also impressive, with predictions taking only 0.05 seconds. These results underscore the potential of GBDT as a practical and precise tool for real-time assessments of social cohesion in large urban environments like Jakarta. The findings offer a data-driven way to guide policy decisions and community development activities, with important implications for urban planning and governance. Overall, this research emphasizes the promise of GBDT in boosting social cohesion evaluation approaches and increases our understanding of the application of machine learning in addressing complex urban difficulties.
Influence of visceral fat on cardio-respiratory homeostasis depending on sex, age and presence of arterial hypertension
Authors: Gorban V. V. , Gorban E. V. , Manto V. S. , Svistun O. V.
Published: October 2023

Introduction. The study of vegetative homeostasis requires the accounting of sensitive, non-invasive parameters of multidimensional ambulatory metabolic and cardiorespiratory monitoring, including bioimedansometry, heart rate variability (HRV) and respiratory function (RF).

Aim. To determine concomitant changes in HRV, RF, depending on the level of visceral fat (VF) and the presence of arterial hypertension (AH), associated with gender, age to determine the targets of preventive effects.

Materials and methods. 215 boys and girls aged 18 to 30 years and 93 men and women with hypertension aged 45 to 59 years underwent, bioimpedancometry, HRV monitoring using ten-minute recordings, and the study of respiratory function.

Results and discussion. In young people with a BMI over 25 kg/m2, a high level of HF was associated with an increase in LF/ HF and SDANN values, which reflected a reduction in parasympathetic activity and an increase in sympathetic activity, as well as changes in RF with a decrease in the Tiffno index and maximum half-expiratory flow (MHF). In middle-aged individuals with AH and BMI exceeding 25 kg/m2, a direct correlation was found between the value of VF and age, waist circumference, diastolic blood pressure, with a higher stress index of cardiac rhythm regulation and more pronounced sympathetic activity in terms of the LF/HF parameter. A lower total HRV, low parasympathetic activity and tension in the regulation of the heart rhythm in persons with AH were detected even with an intermediate value of VF.

Conclusions. The study of autonomic homeostasis required the accounting of the individual dynamics of the parameters of HRV and the RF even within normal values. Changes in HRV associated with an intermediate increase in VF should be monitored with an emphasis on SDANN, LF/HF, stress index and vegetative index, and changes in RF – with an emphasis on the Tiffno index and MHF.

Introduction. The relevance of studying the mechanisms underlying the development of adenomyosis is determined not only by its high prevalence reaching 40% among reproductive aged women, but also by its association with unexplained infertility (60%), as well as woman’s quality of life impairment.

Aim. To enhance efficiency of therapy after surgical treatment of endometriosis and minimize the risk of disease recurrence.

Materials and methods. In a cohort prospective comparative study conducted on the basis of the gynecological department of the Inozemtsev City Clinical Hospital, 80 patients of reproductive age who underwent organ-preserving treatment for external genital endometriosis and nodular adenomyosis were included. Dienogest (Zafrilla) was prescribed to 65 patients at a dose of 2 mg/day (1 tablet) from day 2 after surgical treatment continuously for 6 months, taking into account contraindications to its use, 15 patients refused to take the drug in the postoperative period, and made up the control group.

Results. The results of the study showed that after surgical treatment of external genital endometriosis and the nodular form of adenomyosis and the appointment of suppressive therapy with Zafrilla, after 3 months, the intensity of the pain syndrome was transformed according to the VAS, NRS, B&B scales by one step, and after 6 months it decreased to a slight (p < 0.05), which contributed to the improvement of the quality of life of patients based on the EHP-30 questionnaire. The long-term results of the study allow us to recommend the drug Zafrilla, with high compliance, good tolerance, a favorable safety profile, in order to reduce pain, the intensity of menstrual flow, and prevent recurrence of the disease based on 24 months of observation.

Conclusion. An integrated approach to the treatment of external genital endometriosis and nodular adenomyosis, including surgical treatment and suppressive therapy with Zafrilla, made it possible to realize reproductive function in 48% of patients. Taking dienogest for 24 weeks provided effective relief of pain, alleviated the symptoms of the disease, as well as improved the quality of life and realized reproductive plans.
Application of the implicit Euler method for the discretization of some classes of nonlinear systems
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Aleksandrov Alexander Yu.
Published: October 2023

The problem of stability preservation under discretization of some classes of nonlinear differential equations systems is studied. Persidskii systems, Lurie systems of indirect control, and systems whose right-hand sides have a canonical structure are considered. It is assumed that the zero solutions of these systems are globally asymptotically stable. Conditions are determined that guarantee the asymptotic stability of the zero solutions for the corresponding difference systems. Previously, such conditions were established for the case where discretization was carried out using the explicit Euler method. In this paper, difference schemes are constructed on the basis of the implicit Euler method. For the obtained discrete systems, theorems on local and global asymptotic stability are proved, estimates of the time of transient processes are derived. For systems with a canonical structure of right-hand sides, based on the approach of V. I. Zubov, a modified implicit computational scheme is proposed that ensures the matching of the convergence rate of solutions to the origin for the differential and corresponding difference systems. It is shown that implicit computational schemes can guarantee the preservation of asymptotic stability under less stringent constraints on the discretization step and right-hand sides of the systems under consideration compared to the constraints obtained using the explicit method. An example is presented illustrating the obtained theoretical conclusions.
Stability of Lurie-type systems with asynchronous and synchronous switching and constant delays
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Andriyanova Natalya R.
Published: October 2023

The problems of analysis for systems with synchronous and asynchronous switching have been actively studied for the linear case. In this paper, a switched system of difference-differential equations, in which the right-hand side consists of a linear term and an essentially nonlinear part containing sector-type components is considered. This kind of systems belongs to the class of Lurie indirect control systems. Sufficient conditions on the system parameters and the switching law are investigated for asymptotic stability to be guaranteed both in the case of synchronous switching between subsystems and in asynchronous one. In the latter case it is supposed that the nonlinear delayed part switches with a lag equal to the corresponding delay. It is required that stability should be preserved for any constant positive delays. The problem is solved using the Lyapunov — Krasovsky approach. The functional is chosen that includes a quadratic form and integrals of nonlinearities. Restrictions that ensure asymptotic stability for an arbitrary switching law are found. With such an approach for the asynchronous case these conditions turn out to be less restrictive. By using multiple functionals the restrictions on the lengths of intervals between switchings are also obtained. This type of conditions are similar for both cases of synchronous and asynchronous switching. Theoretical results are demonstrated by a specially selected example.
Deformation of a plane modelled by John's material with a rigid elliptical inclusion loaded by force and moment
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Malkova Yulia V.
Published: October 2023

An exact analytical solution is obtained for a non-linear problem of elasticity theory for a plane with a rigid elliptical inclusion. A concentrated force and a moment are applied at the center of inclusion. The elastic properties of the plane are modeled by John’s harmonic material. For this material methods of the theory of functions of a complex variable are using for solving nonlinear plane problems. Nominal stresses and displacements are expressed in terms of two analytical functions of a complex variable, which are determined from the boundary conditions on the contour of inclusion. The problems of the action of a concentrated force and moment on an elliptical core in a plane are considered separately. A comparison with a similar linear problem is made. The influence of the applied force and moment on the magnitude of stresses is studied depending on various parameters of the problem. Calculations of nominal stresses on the contour joining the plane with inclusion are performed.

Optimal scheduling of battery energy storage system plays crucial part in dis- tributed energy system. As a data driven method, deep reinforcement learning does not require system knowledge of dynamic system, present optimal solution for nonlinear optimization problem. In this research, financial cost of energy con- sumption reduced by scheduling battery energy using deep reinforcement learning method (RL). Reinforcement learning can adapt to equipment parameter changes and noise in the data, while mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) requires high accuracy in forecasting power generation and demand, accurate equipment parameters to achieve good performance, and high computational cost for large- scale industrial applications. Based on this, it can be assumed that deep RL based solution is capable of outperform classic deterministic optimization model MILP. This study compares four state-of-the-art RL algorithms for the battery power plant control problem: PPO, A2C, SAC, TD3. According to the simulation results, TD3 shows the best results, outperforming MILP by 5% in cost savings, and the time to solve the problem is reduced by about a factor of three.
From unipolarity to G-Zero and beyond: Political economy of the world without superpowers
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Tkachenko Stanislav
Published: October 2023

The erosion of the unipolar system of international relations, accelerated as a result of the turbulent events of 2022, is returning experts in the field of international relations to discuss the phenomenon of the balance of power and its embodiment in various models. During the thirty-year period, following the end of the Cold War (1991–2021), the system of interstate relations went through periods when unipolar, bipolar and multipolar models were considered optimal. This article, based on the author’s address at the plenary session of the First Saint-Petersburg Congress of International Studies, proposes a political and economic interpretation of the consequences that the member states of the world community will face at a new stage in the transformation of the modern architecture of international relations in the 21st century through the mechanism of the balance of power. The trend of reducing state power in comparison with the growing economic power of market institutions and business structures in the modern era has been replaced by a reverse trend. It is characterized by the “return of the state” against the backdrop of a global system in crisis. The absence of a hegemonic state in the new system leads to the destruction of the foundations of the international liberal order, the formation of a decentralized system of alliances of states, an increase in the number and scale of economic conflicts, expressed both in the formation of regional trade blocks and in the expansion of the practice of applying economic sanctions as a substitute for armed conflicts of the past. A new era in the political and economic development of the planet, in which new actors will replace the superpowers of the past, should be characterized as a period of competitive interdependence. The coming years will show what will prevail — competition, extolled by representatives of the realistic school of the theory of international relations, i. e. inter-country/inter-bloc rivalry, or interdependence raised to the shield by the liberals.

Authors:   North-Eastern Federal University in Yakutsk, Podoinitsyna Irina I. , Egorova Tatyana P. ,   North-Eastern Federal University in Yakutsk
Published: October 2023

The article is devoted to one of the main topics of sociology and economics — poverty and the problems of its measurement. The relevance of the topic is determined by the fact that at each new stage of the development of society, the sets of consumer goods, the thresholds for the consumption of the population are changing, therefore adequate criteria for the analysis of poverty are required. The article examines the evolution of the views on poverty of domestic and foreign scientists, focusing on new factors of income stratification: territorial factor, factor of social inclusion, spatial configuration of inequality. At the empirical level, the results of monitoring, which was conducted for several years in 13 Arctic regions of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), are analyzed. The purpose of this study is to create a profile of a poor person in the Arctic (Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)) based on the results of the project “Man in the Arctic” (conducted by the Center for Strategic Studies under the Head of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)) and a number of studies conducted at the North-Eastern Federal University named after M.K.Ammosov and to study the determinants and correlates of poverty at the micro level. Accordingly, the subject of the study is the region of the Arctic zone of Russia, in particular, 13 districts that are part of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The subject of the study is the profile of a poor person in the Arctic, the main characteristics of social inequality in the Arctic zone of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). Based on analysis of statistical data, the results of sociological research, mathematical and statistical analysis of primary data, a generalized, enlarged portrait of a poor man in the Arctic was compiled. The perception of the own position of the population of the Arctic regions, self-identification is one of the important aspects of measuring poverty
Ella von Schultz-Adajewski (1846–1926): The Creative Fate of a Musician and Studies of the Musical Folklore of European Peoples
Authors:   St. Petersburg State Conservatory named after N.A.Rimsky-Korsakov, Teplova Irina B.
Published: October 2023

The article is devoted to Ella von Schultz-Adajewski, who left a convincing mark in the Russian and European musical culture of the second half of the 19th — early 21st centuries. The talented musician, born in Russia, continued her creative life in Italy and Germany. Her natural talents and brilliant education (she studied with leading professors of the St Petersburg Conservatory: A.Dreyshok, N.I.Zaremba, A. S.Famintsyn, I.K.Voyachek) allowed her to maximize her professional potential as a pianist, composer, and music researcher. The author of original works in various genres that are attractive to modern performers, Ella von Schultz-Adajewski combined the role of a practicing musician with deep, original theoretical works in the field of comparative musicology. Actually, she became one of the discoverers of this method, which formed the basis of the science of ethnomusicology. The bright artistic and scientific heritage has not yet received a decent assessment in Russian musicology. Meanwhile, in the history of world culture, Ella von Schultz was destined to become the discoverer of the musical folklore of the Friulian Christians, whose folk culture was also the subject of serious scientific interests of outstanding philologists, linguists of St. Petersburg University: I.I. Sreznevsky, I.Baudouin de Courtenay. The works of the musician and wordsmiths laid the foundation of knowledge about the culture of the Slavs, who have been living in Northern Italy for centuries. In the articles devoted to the folklore of various European peoples, the author seeks to find a deep “matrix” reflecting the genetic features of the culture of a particular ethnic group. Innovative for its time are the idea of Ella von Schultz about the inseparable connection of musical folklore and the context of its existence, methods of musical analysis using synoptic tables. The article publishes archival materials for the first time, provides information reflecting the period of Ella von Schultz’s studies at the St. Petersburg Conservatory, her contacts with Russian musicians after her departure abroad. For the first time, unknown scientific articles are also characterized, in which folklore samples are considered from the standpoint of “ethnological documents”.
Artistic Ties between Azerbaijan and St Petersburg: History and Modernity
Authors:   Institute of Architecture and Art of the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences, Zeynalov Khazar A.
Published: October 2023

The article highlights the Azerbaijani and St Petersburg interrelation in the field of fine arts. The author studies factual materials and investigates works related to these interrelationships. These are works of painting, sculpture and graphics created at different times by Leningrad and Azerbaijani artists. Studying these materials, the author substantiates the importance of scientific research in this direction. The study is divided historically into two main stages: Soviet and post-Soviet, which is the simplest form of chronological division. This division is acceptable, because, the author researches not a certain period or area of interrelationships, but offers a general methodological form of art historical investigation. According to the author, the main directions are thematic works, studies and holding exhibitions (or other events) in the considered interrelations. Exactly, these three points of activity (in many variations) form the basis of the factual material to be studied in the future. According to the author, studies at the universities of Leningrad had a beneficial effect on the development of creativity and the formation of the artistic worldview of most Azerbaijani artists. While studying at the prestigious art universities of Leningrad, these young artists returned to the republic as mature specialists, often proficient in the norms of academic painting and sculpture. Their work significantly enriched the fine arts of Azerbaijan, especially in the 50s–80s of the last century. The availability of interesting materials, friendly interrelations between the government of St Petersburg and the Republic of Azerbaijan create favorable preconditions for conducting active artistic research in this direction on more specific topics. The research of interrelationships contributes greatly to highlighting our common cultural heritage and supports to the strengthening of friendships in our time.
Fasad Sculpture of Provincial Eclectics on the Example of Rostov-on-Don: Iconography, Symbols, Stylistics
Authors:   Don State Technical University, Kishkinova Evgenia M.
Published: October 2023

The article is devoted to the study of eclectic facade sculpture in the historical center of Rostov-on-Don, considered in accordance with specific neo-styles. Sculpture plays an important compositional role in the design of the facades of Neo-Baroque monuments, emphasizing the rhythmic organization of facades, emphasizing the central and corner parts of buildings. Sculptural decor in the design of facades, designed within the neo-Greek and Neo-Renaissance, obeys the compositional rhythm set by architectural forms, is most often placed in architecturally limited fields, highlights the compositional axes of facades and more actively uses motifs of ancient origin. In general, the iconography of the sculptural decor includes plant motifs (laurel, flower, fruit garlands, flower baskets, acanthus, wreaths, rosettes), images of objects, including symbolic ones (shells, cartouches, caduceus, flowerpots, a cornucopia, a fountain, attributes of industry, trade, sciences and arts, armorial shields), zoomorphic images (mainly lion mascarons, griffins), mixanthropic and anthropomorphic images. Among the latest figurines are putti, mascarons of satyrs, Aphrodite, Hermes; belt herms of Hercules, Omphale, Deianira; sculptures of nymphs, Apollo, Ceres, goddesses of Glory; scenes from the history of Cupid and Psyche. The symbolism of the sculptural decor corresponds to the purpose of the building, expresses the ideas of prosperity and progress: Ceres, Apollo, the goddess of Glory — on the building of the City Duma; musical instruments and theatrical masks — on the theater building; plots symbolizing various types of activities — on the building of the Property Pledge Society; attributes of trade, industry, sciences, arts, mascarons of Hermes and his caduceus, cornucopia — on tenement houses; Hercules, Dejanira, Omphala, Aphrodite’s mascarons are on the mansions. There is a “universalization” of the mascarons of Hermes and his caduceus, which are used everywhere, regional motifs appear (bees, salting fish), the use of neo-style decor on the building, reproducing the type of kuren, is noted. Stylistically, the sculpture is focused mainly on classicism and the Renaissance, using the techniques of mannerism, baroque, rococo. The prototypes are the motifs of the sculptural decoration of famous buildings in St Petersburg, Vienna, Berlin, Brussels, chronologically close to the monuments under consideration.

Published: October 2023

The article is devoted to the research of Transbaikal painting history in the context of regional fine arts formation, artistic direction development. The Transbaikal art features are connected with region’s distance from cultural centers. Transbaikal painting has formed as result of penetration Russian art traditions and influence of regional national cultures. It’s possible to conditionally distinguish several stages in the history of Transbaikal painting. The first stage of formation (18th–19th centuries) was associated with creativity of visiting artists and with emergence of self-educated artists. The drawings were being made during the ethnographic expeditions in Siberia, also the Decemberists made their contribution. Besides, the icon painting was presented. The Transbaikal visual art heyday (the 2nd stage, 20th century) was presented with period of creativity and exhibition activities activation of the 20th century beginning, period of war years’ poster art, and period of realistic painting heyday. A lot of various in colorit landscapes were made in period of realistic painting heyday (the middle and second half of the 20th century). These are open spaces, steppes, roads, lyrical overcast landscapes, majestic north Transbaikalia and Buryatia mountains, landscapes of the Lake Baikal. The plot and historical paintings were being depicted scenes of Soviet reality, events of the region history and culture. Socialist realism was reflected in portraits and in subject painting, works of “austere style” were created. Individual artists with a pronounced style, manner stood out. Paintings were created with decorative, symbolic, ethnic motifs, impressionistic. At the present stage (beginning of the 21st century) artists of Transbaikalia create in the traditional and modernist direction, in the direction of ethnofuturism. Globalization processes, digitalization stimulate the penetration of creativity various forms into the region, and modern art projects begin to be implemented. System of art education traditions are emerging.
Standard Units in Miniatures of the Manuscript no. 20 in Russian State Library, Fund 173.I
Authors: Khlebnikov Denis V.
Published: October 2023

The proposed article is addressed to the phenomenon of typical graphic elements used in Russian late medieval visual art; the study is based on the material of miniatures of the wellknown illuminated manuscript of the Commentated Prophet Book from the collection of the Moscow Theological Academy. Previously, a detailed comparison of the drawing of paper icon samples, and later of the icons themselves of the 15th–16th centuries as well, led to the conclusion that icon painters widely use a set of the same systematically repeating graphic elements. They can always be seen in almost any icon, in different numbers and different combinations, in the most dissimilar images and regardless of who or what is depicted on the icon: the Savior, the Virgin or a prophet; regardless of whether the image in front of us is a half-length image, shoulder-length or full-length figure; regardless of the pose, gestures and type of clothing. Those elements are used constantly, although their number and set may vary significantly from case to case. In addition, their graphics vary quite freely: the proportions within the block and its dimensions change relative to other parts of the image, straight lines may be more or less curved, or part of the block may be hidden by another detail or, on the contrary, shown two or more times. Sometimes some part of the block is inverted, shifted or reduced, but the structure of the block remains the same. This observation makes it possible to significantly clarify the ideas about the principles of icon-painter work in the 15th–17th centuries: the drawing, for example, of a human figure and their robes was not copied literally from icon to icon, neither was invented completely anew each time; the image was more or less “constructed” from already existing ready-made blocks, either in the literal sense, or they filled in a ready-made general compositional scheme or a part of it, which itself can be considered as a standard block of a higher order. The miniatures of the manuscript under study serve as a clear example of the use of standard blocks in the Moscow illuminated book of the 15th century. The article for the first time compares a large number of deesis and prophetic images.
The Formation of Russian Genre Cinema at the Beginning of the 21st Century
Authors:   Russian Institute of Art History, Poznin Vitaly F.
Published: October 2023

The problem of genre formation in cinema constantly causes controversy and discrepancies among art historians, since this type of creativity is synthetic, using the creative possibilities of other types of art. Сommon in the definition of the term “genre” is only the provision that a genre is a way of embodying a certain concept of reality in a work, creating an artistic picture or an artistic model of the world, perceived from a certain angle, which implies a limitation in the choice of means of artistic embodiment of the theme of the work. Like any complex concept, a genre should be considered in a system of several coordinates, among which the dominant features inherent in a particular genre play the most significant role. These two dominants are: 1) the emotion that the film should evoke in the viewer (laughter, horror, sympathy, etc.); 2) the theme of the film (historical, military, sci-fi, etc.). When investigating the problem of genre formation, one should also not forget that the genre is a historical category, i. e. the specific period in which it was created plays an important role in determining the genre characteristics of a particular film. Over the past 30 years, Russian cinema has undergone significant changes in the aesthetic and ethical paradigm, including changes in the themes and genre palette of films. This article is the first attempt to analyze the process of mastering by Russian cinematography new genres for it, which were not previously in the repertoire of Russian cinema (fantasy, disaster film, horror, biopic, musical). Having considered the problem of interaction between cultural globalization and national mentality, the author comes to the conclusion that, having survived the period of imitation of foreign models, Russian genre cinema at the present stage has the opportunity to gain self-identification and become an art that is in demand by a wide audience.
S. M. Eisenstein and Disciple: The Anti-Religious Novel “Kajana” by K. K. Pipinashvili
Authors:   University of Lisbon, Folieva Tatyana A.
Published: October 2023

The article talks about the creation by the director Konstantin Konstantinovich Pipinashvili of his first film “Kajana” (1941). In 1932, Pipinashvili entered the workers’ faculty of the State Institute of Cinematography (GIK), graduated from it in 1936 and decided to make a film based on the story of the classic of Georgian literature N. Lomouri. In the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art (RGALI), documents were found that were not previously published, which shed light on the relationship of Pipinashvili with his teacher S. M. Eisenstein. It was possible to find out that strong friendly relations arose between them, it was planned that Pipinashvili’s film “Kajana” would be the preface to the film “Bezhin Meadow”. However, the prohibition of the latter and the persecution of Eisenstein did not allow these plans to come true — the filming of Kazhdana was stopped, despite all the efforts of the young director. himself Pipinashvili after graduating from the GIK, arrives at the Tbilisi film studio and tries to re-launch the film “Kajana” into film production. The film studio went to meet Pipinashvili, a full-length film was shot, which was released in Georgian and Russian in May 1941. We found a transcript of the discussion of the film “Kajana” in the Cinema House. This document shows how the figure of Eisenstein was perceived in the early 1940s, how anti-religious cinematography was treated at that time, how the problem of formalism was touched upon. We also see how the official goal differs from the artist’s idea. In the letters of Konstantin Konstantinovich it is clear to Pipinashvili that he is aimed at co-creation, he is captured by the ideas of the teacher. In the documents, we see what film functionaries want: “Kajana” as a pedagogical anti-religious story about the dangers of superstition and the bright future of the Georgian people. Pipinashvili managed to preserve his own style and national flavor. The composition, thoughtfulness of shots, the use of light and shadow, editing — all this is under the influence of Eisenstein.
Iconography of Buddhism: The Tradition of Depicting the Old White Man
Authors:   Kalmyk State University named after B.B.Gorodovikov, Bicheev Baazr A.
Published: October 2023

The Old White Man is a local deity revered by Buddhists in Russia. His image, based on textual traditions and Buddhist iconography, prompted the name — the Old White Man, now widely accepted. In the written sources he is also known as the “Conqueror and subduer of the [master spirits] of earth and water”. The early images appeared in Mongolia under the influence of the Chinese traditional pictures of Tú Dì, ancient deities associated with localities, while later they were influenced by traditional images of Shòuxing, the deity of longevity. At an early stage of the iconographic tradition, the Old White Man is depicted as a priest or a high official; his functions are rendered via the characters of his companions, the host spirits of mountains (sabdaks) that have the features of man and animal or animals, such as a pair of deer, chained leopard (wolf), as well as ritual objects, including a carved staff or a dragon head staff. At a later stage, there may be symbols associated with the giver of longevity and fertility (bald phallic head, cave, and peach). The text of the “Sutra of the Old White Man” includes the description of his appearance (a white-bearded, bare-headed old man in a white robe), attributes (a dragon head staff) and an allegorical landscape of a mountain and fruit trees. Neither early nor recent Mongolian and Buryat pictures fully correspond to the description. Much closer to it is the Kalmyk iconographic tradition. The Old White Man’s image of the Kalmyk nomads goes back to the ancient mythological idea of the deity as the keeper of domestic animals. Due to transformations in the religious sphere, the keeper of domestic animals becomes the Old White Man, the lord of all living beings and all earthly space. Traditionally, he is presented as a standing old man, bare-headed and his long gray hair gathered in the form of a triratna. He is dressed in a belted robe, with another swinging robe thrown on it. In his right hand, he holds a staff with a dragon’s head and a rosary in his left. There are no companions or animals. The symbolic landscape serves to enhance the grandiose figure of the old man. The details of the attire and the landscape refer to the former Chinese influence.

Foram coletadas informações de 46 moradores por meio de questionário estruturado. No total, 90% dos entrevistados indicaram fazer uso de plantas no seu cotidiano e cerca de 80% afirmaram que tiveram seu primeiro contato com a utilização de plantas medicinais na infância. Foram mencionadas 59 espécies de plantas, um número alto quando comparado com outras comunidades, ao passo que os saberes botânicos majoritariamente se deviam às mulheres adultas. As espécies nativas disponíveis na região são aproveitadas para diversas finalidades, mas principalmente na medicina, tecnologia e produção de energia. Dentre as espécies vegetais amostradas, destacou-se Poincianella pyramidalis (catingueira). O cultivo e a coleta em quintais são as principais formas de obtenção das plantas. A comunidade revelou ser estritamente relacionada com as espécies nativas.

In Brazil, the most important disease in cassava is bacteriosis, caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. manihotis. The variety of substances present in plants has provided an increase in research using plant extracts for in vitro control of phytopathogens. This work aimed to evaluate different extracts for the control of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. manihotis as well as to evaluate which accessions are susceptible to this bacteriosis. The work was divided into two experiments, one in a greenhouse and the other in the laboratory, both in a completely randomized design with five replications. The propolis, oregano and star anise extracts tested in this research proved to be a control option. Understanding the antimicrobial effect of compounds present in plant extracts may constitute yet another way of alternatively controlling pathogens in cultivated plants. Regarding the cassava accessions, the use of the Fepagro RS14 cultivar and the FV10, FV13 and SJ06 accessions is recommended, as these proved to be resistant to bacteriosis.

O Brasil é um país rico culturalmente e em belezas naturais, entretanto encontra-se em desenvolvimento, ainda enfrentando inúmeras desigualdades sociais e problemas socioeconômicos. Em busca de minimizar esses problemas surge a alternativa de desenvolvimento de negócios sociais – empreendimentos dedicados a resolver problemas sociais, ambientais e econômicos. Nesse contexto há a possibilidade de o design colaborar de variadas formas, cumprindo e expandindo seu papel social. Desse modo é necessário compreender qual a situação atual das pesquisas na área de design nesse tema. O objetivo desta investigação foi realizar um panorama das teses e dissertações brasileiras da área de design que tratam de negócios sociais, compreendendo como o design tem abordado o assunto em pesquisas. Para isso foi feita uma revisão sistemática da literatura no banco de dados de teses e dissertações da Capes. Das pesquisas encontradas, verificou-se adequação com os objetivos deste trabalho em nove delas.
ALEXANDER VON HUMBOLDT, O PRIMEIRO ECOLOGISTA NO SÉCULO XIX
Authors: Ana Veronica Pazmino
Published: October 2023

Este artigo é uma resenha do livro A invenção da natureza: a vida e as descobertas de Alexander von Humboldt, de Andrea Wulf. O texto mostra que Humboldt foi o primeiro cientista a desenvolver uma visão nova do mundo e que sua publicação El ensayo sobre la geografía de las plantas foi o primeiro livro ecologista. Em 1800 foi o primeiro cientista que mencionou a mudança climática provocada pelo ser humano e que isso poderia ter consequências imprevisíveis para as gerações futuras. Sua importante influência nos maiores pensadores, artistas e cientistas da época, como Thomas Jefferson, Charles Darwin, Henry David Thoreau, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, entre outros, evidencia a necessidade de conhecer o percurso do cientista no século XIX e refletir sobre a falta de interesse, conhecimento e ações firmes de sustentabilidade nos séculos XX e XXI em que a mídia mostra ano a ano a ação da natureza por meio de chuvas e deslizamentos de terra provocando “destruição”. Como resultado, o artigo faz uma reflexão sobre a capacidade de pesquisa empírica e aponta os erros na percepção da sociedade dos efeitos do ser humano no meio ambiente.
Corte e uso das madeiras de lei durante o período da pesca de baleias no litoral de Santa Catarina
Authors: Baldin Nelma
Published: October 2023

O presente artigo trata das questões do corte e uso de madeiras de lei, ou seja, madeiras de propriedade real, nos anos de 1817 a 1831 – período do auge da pesca de baleias no litoral catarinense. O objetivo deste trabalho é demonstrar que o desmatamento da mata atlântica ocorrido nessa época em toda a Ilha de Santa Catarina, bem como nas regiões que avançaram para o interior da antiga capitania e depois província, não ocorreu exclusivamente para possibilitar o desenvolvimento da pesca da baleia, mas também pelo fato de que a madeira derrubada se destinava aos mais diversos fins, usos e locais.

The transmission of viruses between species and the emergence of viral pandemics are threats to public health and with catastrophic aftermath for the population. Objective: The objective of this research was evaluated actions of Brazilian dentists concerning covid-19 during the first wave of the pandemic. Material and methods: The survey was conducted with a web-based questionnaire, from 8th July to 8th August 2020. The participants answered questions about socio-demographic factors, followed by actions towards the covid-19, that include service offered in the pandemic period, personal protective equipment (PPE), mode of prevention, emergency with a suspect case and urgency with a confirmed case. All data were submitted to descriptive and inferential statistics with a 5% significance level. Results: A total of 393 participants were recruited, 27.7% men and 72.3% women with a median age of 30 years (21 – 61). About service offered in the pandemic period 53.4 % of the participants answered to operate as a “usual service with a longer period between patients”. Professionals who do not work in universities have adopted actions of “increasing the time between dental appointments” (p = 0.04) or “operate as usual” (p = 0,02). Nearly PPE, 48,9% wore an N-95 mask. Regarding mode of prevention, older and more experienced dentists adopted more preventive measures than younger and more experienced dentists (p > 0.05), in addition, men choose pre-procedural mouthwash with PVPI more than women (p = 0.014). Likewise, those who work at universities also choose pre-procedural mouthwash with PVPI more than those who do not work at universities (p = 0.004). The action regarding urgency and emergency care varied according to the educational level of the participant. Conclusion: It is important to emphasize that during this moment of uncertainty, it is necessary to be constantly aware of new scientific evidence. While generally accepting of federal and state recommendations, respondents seemed to desire more guidance during the initial phase of the pandemic. Some participants’ actions towards covid-19 were divergences from the recommendations proposed by the regulatory agencies.

O ambiente odontológico apresenta alto risco de infecção pelo vírus SARS-CoV-2 tanto para a equipe quanto para os pacientes, por causa das características específicas dos procedimentos realizados e do modo de transmissão do vírus. Isso porque a assistência odontológica envolve comunicação face a face prolongada, exposição a saliva, sangue e outros fluidos e a produção de aerossóis, que são principais meios de propagação do vírus. Objetivo: Investigar aspectos sobre a atuação de cirurgiões-dentistas da região carbonífera, no sul de Santa Catarina, os protocolos de biossegurança e outras variáveis relacionadas à profissão durante a pandemia da covid-19. Material e métodos: A abordagem do estudo foi quantitativa, descritiva, transversal, de campo e por conveniência, com realização no período de 7 de junho a 3 de agosto de 2021. Resultados: Participaram deste estudo 80 cirurgiões-dentistas, sendo 76,3% do sexo feminino e 23,8% do sexo masculino. A maioria possui entre 32 e 41 anos (41,3%) e mais de 10 anos de atuação na profissão (55%). Os resultados obtidos revelaram que 98,8% dos cirurgiões-dentistas apontaram que houve alterações nos procedimentos e protocolos odontológicos nas secretarias municipais de saúde (SMS) pertencentes à Associação dos Municípios da Região Carbonífera (AMREC), e 100% entendem como importante a adoção de protocolos para biossegurança. Conclusão: Os cirurgiões-dentistas atuantes nos locais do estudo identificaram alterações no atendimento odontológico nas SMS diante da covid-19, principalmente em relação aos protocolos de biossegurança e ao uso dos equipamentos de proteção individuais.
