Authors: Osman Noor Suzana , Md Nor Norazmir , Md Sharif Mohd Shazali , Hamid Syahrul Bariah Abdul , Rahamat Syafiqah
Published: October 2021

This review aims to identify hospital food service strategies to improve food consumption among hospitalized patients. A systematic search that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria was manually conducted through Web of Science and Scopus by an author, and the ambiguities were clarified by two senior authors. The quality assessment was separately conducted by two authors, and the ambiguities were clarified with all the involved authors. Qualitative synthesis was used to analyze and summarized the findings. A total of 2432 articles were identified by searching the databases, and 36 studies were included. The majority of the studies applied menu modifications and meal composition interventions (n = 12, 33.3%), or included the implementation of the new food service system (n = 8, 22.2%), protected mealtimes, mealtime assistance and environmental intervention (n = 7, 19.4%), and attractive meal presentation (n = 3, 8.3%). Previous studies that used multidisciplinary approaches reported a significant improvement in food intake, nutritional status, patient satisfaction and quality of life (n = 6, 16.7%). In conclusion, it is suggested that healthcare institutions consider applying one or more of the listed intervention strategies to enhance their foodservice operation in the future.

This study aimed to describe street food purchases in cities from Central Asia, considering customers’ characteristics and the nutritional composition of the foods and beverages. Cross-sectional studies were conducted in 2016/2017 in Dushanbe (Tajikistan), Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan), Ashgabat (Turkmenistan) and Almaty (Kazakhstan). Direct observation was used to collect data on the purchases made by street food customers, selected by random and systematic sampling. Nutritional composition was estimated using data from chemical analyses, food composition tables or food labels. A total of 714 customers (56.6% females, 55.5% aged ≥35 years, 23.3% overweight/obese) were observed, who bought 852 foods and beverages, the most frequent being savoury pastries/snacks (23.2%), main dishes (19.0%), sweet pastries/confectionery (17.9%), tea/coffee (11.3%) and soft drinks/juices (9.8%). Fruit was the least purchased food (1.1%). Nearly one-third of customers purchased industrial food items (31.9%). The median energy content of a street food purchase was 529 kcal/serving. Saturated and trans-fat median contents were 4.7 g/serving and 0.36 g/serving (21.4% and 16.5% of maximum daily intake recommendations, respectively). Median sodium and potassium contents were 745 mg/serving (37.3% of maximum recommendation) and 304 mg/serving (8.7% of minimum recommendation), respectively. In general, the purchases observed presented high contents of energy, saturated-fat, trans-fat and sodium, and low levels of potassium. Policies towards the improvement of these urban food environments should be encouraged.
Odor–Taste–Texture Interactions as a Promising Strategy to Tackle Adolescent Overweight
Authors: Proserpio Cristina , Verduci Elvira , Zuccotti Gianvincenzo , Pagliarini Ella
Published: October 2021

The adolescence period is characterized by a considerable risk to weight gain due to the high consumption of food rich in sugar. A promising strategy to reduce sugar consumption may lie in exploiting the ability of our senses to interact to each other (cross-modal interactions). The aims were to investigate the cross-modal interactions and gustatory function in normal-weight and overweight adolescents. Fifty adolescents (25 overweight and 25 normal-weight) were involved. Subjects rated liking and attribute intensity in pudding samples obtained by adding vanilla aroma (0.1%; 0.3%), butter aroma (0.05%; 0.1%) or a thickener agent (1%; 1.5%) to a base formulation. The gustatory function was also measured through the “taste strips” methodology. Overweight adolescents were found to have a significantly (p < 0.001) worse ability to correctly identify all tastes. Cross-modal interactions occurred differently according to their body mass index, with a significant increase (p < 0.05) in sensory desirable characteristics (e.g., sweet and creaminess) due to aroma addition, especially in overweight subjects. Furthermore, butter aroma significantly increased hedonic responses only in overweight subjects. Tricking our senses in the way of perceiving sensory attributes could be a promising strategy to develop innovative food formulations with a reduced sugar amount, which will lead to a potential decrease in caloric intake and help to tackle the obesity epidemic.
Variations in the Strength of Association between Food Neophobia and Food and Beverage Acceptability: A Data-Driven Exploratory Study of an Arousal Hypothesis
Authors: Jaeger Sara R. , Chheang Sok L. , Prescott John
Published: October 2021

The negative impact of food neophobia (FN) on food and beverage (F&B) liking extends beyond foods and beverages that are novel. In addition, F&Bs that are high in flavour intensity, perceived as dangerous, or have connections to other cultures are likely to elicit rejection by those high in FN. Each of these factors have been established as producing increased arousal, potentially to an unpleasant degree. The aim of this study was to explore the hypothesis that increased arousal underlies all causes of rejection due to FN. To do this, we analysed and interpreted existing data based on online surveys that measured FN and liking for a broad range of F&B names from 8906 adult consumers in the USA, United Kingdom, Australia, Germany and Denmark. Negative associations between FN and liking of varying strengths were evident for 90% of the F&Bs. Consistent with the arousal hypothesis, F&Bs (a) with high flavour intensity, whether produced by chilli, other spices, or flavours, (b) from other cultures, (c) often perceived as dangerous, or (d) that were novel or had novel ingredients showed the strongest negative relationships between FN and liking. Conversely, F&Bs whose liking scores were only very weakly related to FN had low arousal characteristics: high familiarity, sweetness, mild flavours, strong connections to national food cultures, or some combination of these factors. Since this study was exploratory and conducted on existing data, there was no direct measure of arousal, but this is recommended for future, stronger tests of this arousal hypothesis.
Modulation of Adipocyte Metabolism by Microbial Short-Chain Fatty Acids
Authors: May Karolline S. , den Hartigh Laura J.
Published: October 2021

Obesity and its complications—including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and certain cancers—constitute a rising global epidemic that has imposed a substantial burden on health and healthcare systems over the years. It is becoming increasingly clear that there is a link between obesity and the gut microbiota. Gut dysbiosis, characterized as microbial imbalance, has been consistently associated with obesity in both humans and animal models, and can be reversed with weight loss. Emerging evidence has shown that microbial-derived metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs)—including acetate, propionate, and butyrate—provide benefits to the host by impacting organs beyond the gut, including adipose tissue. In this review, we summarize what is currently known regarding the specific mechanisms that link gut-microbial-derived SCFAs with adipose tissue metabolism, such as adipogenesis, lipolysis, and inflammation. In addition, we explore indirect mechanisms by which SCFAs can modulate adipose tissue metabolism, such as via perturbation of gut hormones, as well as signaling to the brain and the liver. Understanding how the modulation of gut microbial metabolites such as SCFAs can impact adipose tissue function could lead to novel therapeutic strategies for the prevention and treatment of obesity.
Immunoreactive Trypsinogen and Free Carnitine Changes on Newborn Screening after Birth in Patients Who Develop Type 1 Diabetes
Authors: Estrella Jane Frances Grace Lustre , Wiley Veronica C. , Simmons David
Published: October 2021

Are free carnitine concentrations on newborn screening (NBS) 48–72 h after birth lower in patients who develop type 1 diabetes than in controls? A retrospective case-control study of patients with type 1 diabetes was conducted. NBS results of patients from a Sydney hospital were compared against matched controls from the same hospital (1:5). Multiple imputation was performed for estimating missing data (gestational age) using gender and birthweight. Conditional logistic regression was used to control for confounding and to generate parameter estimates (α = 0.05). The Hommel approach was used for post-hoc analyses. Results are reported as medians and interquartile ranges. A total of 159 patients were eligible (80 females). Antibodies were detectable in 86. Median age at diagnosis was 8 years. Free carnitine concentrations were lower in patients than controls (25.50 µmol/L;18.98–33.61 vs. 27.26; 21.22–34.86 respectively) (p = 0.018). Immunoreactive trypsinogen was higher in this group (20.24 µg/L;16.15–29–52 vs. 18.71; 13.96–26.92) (p = 0.045), which did not persist in the post-hoc analysis. Carnitine levels are lower and immunoreactive trypsinogen might be higher, within 2–3 days of birth and years before development of type 1 diabetes as compared to controls, although the differences were well within reference ranges and provide insight into the pathogenesis into neonatal onset of type 1 diabetes development rather than use as a diagnostic tool. Given trypsinogen’s use for evaluation of new-onset type 1 diabetes, larger studies are warranted.

Published: October 2021

Gastrointestinal symptomatology is frequent among patients with fibromyalgia, which increases disease burden and lacks specific treatment, either pharmacological or non-pharmacological. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of a multi-strain probiotic, VSL#3®, for the treatment of fibromyalgia-associated gastrointestinal manifestations. This randomized, placebo-controlled trial included 12 weeks of probiotic or placebo treatment followed by 12 weeks of follow up. The primary outcome variable was the mean change from the baseline to the endpoint in the composite severity score of the three main gastrointestinal symptoms reported by patients with fibromyalgia (abdominal pain, abdominal bloating and meteorism). Secondary outcome variables were the severity of additional gastrointestinal symptoms, fibromyalgia severity, depression, sleep disturbance, health-related quality of life and patients’ overall impression of improvement. No differences were found between VSL#3® (n = 54) and the placebo (n = 56) in the primary outcome (estimated treatment difference: 1.1; 95% confidence interval [CI]: −2.1, 4.2; p = 0.501), or in any of the secondary outcomes. However, responders to VSL#3 were more likely to maintain any improvement during the follow-up period compared to responders in the placebo arm. Overall, VSL#3 tolerability was good. Our data could not demonstrate any beneficial effects of VSL#3® either on the composite score of severity of abdominal pain, bloating and meteorism or in any of the secondary outcome variables. More research is needed to elucidate specific factors that may predict a favourable response to treatment in patients with fibromyalgia.

Published: October 2021

The work carried out a literary analysis of the design of a furnace for melting basalt rock. The analysis showed that, due to the simplicity and low cost of the material, the design of a gas melting furnace (operating on natural gas) is much simpler and cheaper than with electric melting and allows one to obtain a cast basalt-stone composite material. Under laboratory conditions, a laboratory gas melting furnace was created, which makes it possible to obtain new materials based on basalt raw materials, having a monoclinic pyroxene of the diopside-hedenbergite series. This group is the leading one in the composition of cast stone products and makes up from 70 to 95% of the total mass of the casting.

In this paper, we have developed a general-purpose architecture, Vit-Gan, capable of performing
most of the image-to-image translation tasks from semantic image segmentation to single image depth
perception. This paper is a follow-up paper, an extension of generator based model [1] in which the
obtained results were very promising. This opened the possibility of further improvements with adversarial architecture. We used a unique vision transformers-based generator architecture and Conditional
GANs(cGANs) with a Markovian Discriminator (PatchGAN) (https://github.com/YigitGunduc/vit-gan).
In the present work, we use images as conditioning arguments. It is observed that the obtained results
are more realistic than the commonly used architectures.
Neural Layer Bypassing Network
Authors: Palasamudram Amogh
Published: October 2021

This research aims to introduce and evaluate a new neural network architecture to improve the speed and effectiveness of forward propagation in neural networks: the Neural Layer Bypassing Network (NLBN). The theory and workings of this architecture have been explained in this research paper, along with comparisons to other methods of increasing the efficacy of deep learning models. This research also includes code examples with 3 image classification models trained on different datasets and analyses the impact of the NLBN architecture on forward propagation. It was found that this architecture increases the speed of forward propagation and tends to slightly decrease the accuracy of the model. However, it takes longer to train and takes more memory. All in all, this architecture is a potential foundation for using deep learning to teach deep learning models to be more efficient. This includes skipping and re-propagating through layers to improve the overall performance of a model.
Enabling and Emerging Sensing Technologies for Crowd Avoidance in Public Transportation: A Review
Authors: Darsena Donatella , Gelli Giacinto , Iudice Ivan , Verde Francesco
Published: October 2021

Avoidance of crowding situations in public transportation (PT) systems is crucial to foster sustainable mobility, by increasing the user’s comfort and satisfaction during normal operation, as well as to manage emergency situations, such as pandemic crises as recently experienced with COVID-19 limitations. This paper presents a comprehensive review of several crowd detection techniques based on Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, which can be adopted to avoid crowding in various segments of the PT system (buses/trams/trains, railway/subway stations, and bus stops). To discuss such techniques in a clear systematic perspective, we introduce a reference framework called SALUTARY (Safe and Reliable Public Transportation System), which in our vision employs modern information and communication technologies (ICT) in order to: (i) monitor and predict crowding events; (ii) adapt in real-time PT system operations, i.e., by modifying service frequency, timetables, routes, and so on; (iii) inform the users of crowding events by electronic displays installed in correspondence of the bus stops/stations and/or by mobile transport applications. It is envisioned that the new anti-crowding functionalities can be incrementally implemented as an addon to the intelligent transportation system (ITS) platform, which is already in use by major PT companies operating in urban areas. Moreover, it is argued that in this new framework, additional services can be delivered, such as, e.g., online ticketing, vehicle access control and reservation in severely crowded situations, and evolved crowd-aware route planning.

ACCOUNTING THE DIRECTIONAL DIAGRAM OF THE ON-BOARD ANTENNA IN ANALYSIS OF THE COMMUNICATION CHANNEL WITH THE AIRCRAFT
Authors: Кузьмин С.В. , Коровин К.О. , Андропов А.В.
Published: October 2021

Синтез оптимальной с точки зрения дальности диаграммы направленности является одной из основных задач построения канала связи. Для многих приложений, таких как 2D вторичный локатор, канал связи с БЛА, оптимальной является косекансная диаграмма направленности. В первом приближении антенна, установленная на борту, обладает практически постоянным коэффициентом усиления в направлении на стационарную антенну. Характеристики бортовой антенны получаются из решения задачи в свободном пространстве. Учёт рассеивающих свойств объектов сложной геометрической формы с размерами в десятки длин волн является актуальной, но сложной задачей. При перемещении по поверхности носителя диаграмма направленности бортовой антенны может меняться существенным образом. Современные системы автоматизированного проектирования на основе приближённых численных методов электродинамики позволяют получать характеристики антенн, размещённых на реальных объектах. Ввиду увеличения количества полезных нагрузок на борту не всегда удаётся разместить бортовую антенну в таком месте, которое позволяет пренебречь влиянием геометрии носителя. В результате в диаграмме направленности бортовой антенны появятся интерференционные провалы или минимумы. Дальность работы будет зависеть от перемещения носителя. Рассматривается метод учета характеристик ДН бортовой антенны, позволяющий минимизировать запас на замирания

The synthesis of the optimal, in terms of range, directional pattern is one of the main tasks of building a communication channel. For many applications, such as a 2D secondary locator, a communication channel with a UAV, the cosecant radiation pattern is optimal. As a first approximation, the on-board antenna has an almost constant gain towards the stationary antenna. The characteristics of the onboard antenna are obtained by solving the problem in free space. Taking into account the scattering properties of objects of complex geometric shapes with dimensions of tens of wavelengths is an urgent but difficult task. When moving over the surface of the carrier, the radiation pattern of the onboard antenna can change significantly. Modern computer-aided design systems based on approximate numerical methods of electrodynamics make it possible to obtain the characteristics of antennas placed on real objects. Due to the increase in the number of payloads on board, it is not always possible to place the onboard antenna in such a place that makes it possible to neglect the influence of the carrier geometry. As a result, interference dips or minima will appear in the directional pattern of the onboard antenna. The operating range will depend on the movement of the media. We considered a method for taking into account the characteristics of the antenna pattern of an airborne antenna, which allows minimizing the margin for fading

Enzymatic-metabolic support of oxidative homeostasis in patients with hypoxic-ischemic brain lesions in the stages of cardiosurgical interventions
Authors: Mankovskyi Dmytro
Published: October 2021

To study the features of enzymatic and metabolic support of oxidative homeostasis in patients with hypoxic-ischemic brain lesions before and after cardiac surgery using artificial circulation we examined 38 patients, in particular: ischemic stroke — 14 people, encephalopathy — 15 people, severe cognitive dysfunction — 9 people ; diagnosis of neurological status was performed according to clinical protocols. Clinical and biochemical study was performed at the preoperative (3—5 days) and postoperative (5—7 days) stages: determined the content of superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, catalase in erythrocytes and α-tocopherol acetate in the serum of the blood, as well as the product cells: diene conjugates, metabolites of nitritanion in plasma. Variation statistics, probabilistic distribution of data with the subsequent estimation of reliability of results are applied; relative biochemical parameters were used: metabolic index, metabolic coefficient and metabolic effect for each. Standard methods using the program adapted to the “Excel” environment were used for calculations. The obtained data support the formation of patients with specific postoperative enzymatic-metabolic support of oxidative homeostasis, which should be considered as one of the triggers of hypoxic-ischemic brain lesions. In particular, at the level of the enzymatic chain of pro-, antioxidant protection and at the level of metabolic processes associated with peroxidation of phospholipids of cell membranes, a number of significant metabolic effects were revealed, which are generalized due to secondary oxidation products and NO‑dependent metabolites.
A review of the status of organic pollutants in geothermal waters
Authors: Kibet Joshua K.
Published: October 2021

Studies on organic pollutants in geothermal environments have received little attention; hence this review is necessary. The presence of trace organic pollutants such as benzene and xylenes has been reported as some of the main sources of pollution in geothermal systems. Previous studies using quantitative fluid inclusion gas analysis, Fischer–Tropsch Type (FTT) experiments and Gas chromatography-Mass spectrometry (GC-MS) have shown that there is a considerable presence of organic pollutants such as trace mono aromatic hydrocarbons (MAHs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and emerging organic contaminants whose origin is both biogenic and abiogenic. Organic pollutants were initially not considered in geothermal development and utilization despite the fact that these toxic chemicals can precipitate severe ecological poisoning and potential risks to human health and aquatic life in a given geothermal environment, even at very low concentrations. The significant presence of benzene in various geothermal systems is of concern because it is a precursor for many aromatic compounds that are bio-accumulative and toxic to water regimes and the environment. Thermophilic and mesophilic bacteria, nonetheless, play a critical role during the biodegradation of organic pollutants in geothermal regimes. From the findings of this review, it is difficult to classify geothermal energy exploitation and utilization as an environmentally benign resource.

European intelligence cooperation
Authors: Nomikos John
Published: October 2021

European intelligence cooperation is the most important weapon in the
fight against the new threats in the 27 member states. The article emphasizes
the reasons that make the European Union Intelligence Analysis Centre (INTCEN)
more towards an independent operational agency into the European mechanism as
well as the roles of the Intelligence College of Europe founded in France and
the European Intelligence Academy established under the auspices of the
Research Institute for European and American Studies (RIEAS) in Athens, Greece.
Even though, effective intelligence cooperation is hard to achieve even at the
national level as different services compete for resources and attention from
the decision makers, past terrorist incidents in Europe served as a wake up for
the public and private institutions to promote intelligence sharing and
cooperation among European Union institutions and Member States.
Covid Photo Diaries
Authors: Martínez Rod Pamela
Published: October 2021

Analizamos las fotografías de Covid Photo Diaries realizadas durante la pandemia para evidenciar su discordancia con las fotografías de los medios de comunicación. Reconocemos, así, dos lugares para la producción fotográfica, la oficial y la de Covid Photo Diaries, como activista por su aporte a la ampliación de las representaciones sociales de la enfermedad, desde una perspectiva socio-afectiva omitida por el discurso oficial global. Sus fotografías invitan a traspasar los estereotipos estigmatizantes de la enfermedad y consiguen desestabilizar el imaginario dominante difundido por los medios de comunicación, favoreciendo la construcción de un discurso afectivo que abarca las diferentes vivencias humanas.
Entre la crisis de lo “humano” y el “arte queer del fracaso”: Las malas de Camila Sosa Villada
Authors: Moszczyńska-Dürst Katarzyna
Published: October 2021

Las malas de Camila Sosa Villada (2019), un relato de vida construido enclave de una autoficción tránsfuga, deviene en una crítica de la violencia patriarcalbasada en el pensamiento falologocéntrico binario que ha precisado siempre delo externo a él. En los discursos normativos disciplinarios que Camila afronta, loexterior está materializado en forma de barbarie, de lo “no-humano” o “vida nohabitable” (Butler 2002, Braidotti 2015). Veremos cómo el texto activa y des-activala dialéctica identidad/otredad, dentro/fuera, humano/no-humano que subyacea todas las narraciones (des)identitarias (Wayar 2019). Asimismo, analizaremos larepresentación de la (in)felicidad performativa tal y como quedó codificada en Lasmalas, con sus mandatos, promesas, tabúes y fracasos. Por último, hablar del “artequeer del fracaso” nos permitirá ver que las prácticas (trans)discursivas producidas y reproducidas en la novela no siempre se corresponden con los usos de lasteorías trans* (Halberstam 2018), creando de esta forma llamativos encuentros ydesencuentros ideológicos.
New Facts about M. A. Alexandrova, the First Head of Ryazan Teachers’ Institute for Women
Authors: Митрофанов В.В.
Published: October 2021

Семья Постниковых не одно поколение верно служила России: мужчины-офицеры отдавали жизни на ратных полях Русско-японской, Великой Отечественной войн. Женщины оставили заметный след в сфере образования. М. А. Постникова (после замужества в 1903 году Александрова) вошла в историю как первая женщина-начальница первого женского учительского института, открытого в Рязани. Ее сестра Анна Алексеевна Наркович возглавляла гимназии в Смоленской и Рязанской губерниях. Многое в личной жизни и профессиональной деятельности Марии Алексеевны стало известно благодаря ее переписке с выдающимися учеными — С. Ф. Платоновым и А. Е. Пресняковым. Себя она считала верной ученицей первого и близким другом второго, который не раз упоминал ее имя в своих письмах.
Поработав в Петербурге, проехав Россию до Хабаровска и обратно, в 1915 году М. А. Александрова после неожиданного назначения переехала в Рязань, где работала почти 10 лет. Здесь же и закончилась ее жизнь в 50 лет. О последних днях Марии Алексеевны известно из двух публикуемых нами в статье писем ее родной сестры Анны Алексеевны на имя Надежды Николаевны Платоновой. В письмах упомянуты и другие родственники, что позволяет уточнить и конкретизировать имеющиеся о них скудные сведения.

For many generations the Postnikovs served Russia truly and well. Men of the family fought in the battles of the Russo-Japanese War and World War II, while women of the family were prominent educators. M. A. Postnikova (known by her married name M. A. Alexandrova) is the first female head of the first teachers’ institute for women in Ryazan. Her sister Anna Alekseyevna Narkovich headed gymnasiums in the Smolensk Region and in the Ryazan Region. We know about her private life through her correspondence with such prominent scholars as S. F. Platonov and A. E. Presnyakov. Being a devoted student of the former and a close friend of the latter she was often mentioned in A. E. Presnyakov’s letters.
Having worked in St. Petersburg, and having traveled across the country to Khabarovsk and back, M. A. Alexandrova moved to Ryazan where she was appointed head of the teachers’ institute and where she worked for 10 years. She passed away in Ryazan in 1915 at the age of 50. Her last days are known to us due to the letters of her sister Anna Alekseyevna to Nadezhda Nikolayevna Platonova. The letters contain information about other relatives too, which provides more specific data.
The Paleomorpholigic Conditions of the Formation of the Settlement of Shitkino (Northwest Russia)
Authors: Шашерина Л.В. , Стефутин С.А.
Published: October 2021

Для многих раннесредневековых памятников Северо-Запада Европейской России палеогеографические условия реконструированы недостаточно. При этом географический контекст развития поселений играет важную роль в исторической и экономической жизни людей Средневековья на локальном уровне. Археологический памятник поселение Шниткино расположен в бассейне Западной Двины на западном макросклоне Валдайской возвышенности. Изучаемое поселение находится на берегу озера Шнидкино, через которое насквозь протекает река Торопа. Используя геолого-геоморфологические методы, авторы статьи описали строение озерной террасы и озерно-речной поймы, в которых был найден культурный слой IX–X веков и отдельные археологические артефакты. Седиментационные архивы торфа, озерных, аллювиальных и склоновых отложений, продатированные радиоуглеродным методом, позволили оценить, насколько рельеф раннего Средневековья отличался от современного, и определить возможную функциональность территории во время существования поселения. Выявленные стабильность берега и аккумулятивная динамика озерно-речной системы свидетельствуют о том, что за последние несколько тысяч лет форма берега почти не изменилась. Речные и озерные террасы с похожей динамикой, обнаруживаемые в бассейне реки Торопы, считаются наиболее привлекательными позициями для поселенцев раннего Средневековья.

The palaeomorphology of many early medieval monuments in Northwest Russia has not been reconstructed yet. In historical and economic perspective, the geographical location has a great impact on settlement formation and affects people’s lives significantly. The settlement of Shitkino is an archaeological monument situated in the basin of the Western Dvina at the western slope of the Valdai Hills. The settlement of Shitkino is located at the shore of Shnidkino lake, which is traversed by the Toropa River. The authors of the article employ geological and geomorphological analyses to explore the floodplain and its fluvial terraces, to make archaeological finds and to gain evidence of the events of the 9th–10th centuries. The method of radiocarbon dating enabled the scientists to estimate the age of peat sediments, fluvial and slope deposits, to estimate the degree of relief transformation and to tentatively assess the extent of the functionality of the land in medieval times. The accumulated data, such as the structural stability of the shore and the dynamics of the river-lake system show that during the recent thousands of years the shores of the lake have been only insignificantly transformed. It is believed that in the early middle ages people preferred to settle in the basin of the Toropa River.
The correlation between the thematic group of terms and the documents in the bibliographic database iSybislaw: on the problem of search results relevance
Authors: Volkova Yevgeniya
Published: October 2021

The article deals with the bibliographic database of Slavic linguistics iSybislaw, its search tools and the features which they provide to the user, some problems the user may encounter are being investigated. In addition, the possibilities of using logical operators AND, OR, NOT are shown, and recommendations for the compilation of search expressions are given.
The data in the iSybislaw database has a linear structure. For example, the general concept of text and the narrower notion of scientific text in the index of keywords hold an equal position. The user cannot navigate through hierarchical levels (for example, text ↔ written text ↔ scientific text) to narrow or expand the search. The user must accurately determine the properties that the desired object must possess in advance, and it is also worthwhile to note the properties that the object should not possess. For example, the user is interested in papers which study the linguistic features of scientific texts. We exclude terminology from our search query. Although, it is an integral part of a scientific text, in this case it does not interest us as an immediate object of research. The search query can look like this: naukowy AND (styl OR tekst OR dyskurs OR język) NOT termin.
A set of keywords for each document has a linear structure too. In the bibliographic records keywords are arranged alphabetically. This does not always allow to determine accurately the relevance of the document for the user’s tasks.
Since the search in the database can be carried out in different languages (in the future – in all Slavic languages), the article demonstrates that the language of searching can influence the structure of the search expression and the search results. The results of applying the search expression in Polish and Russian are compared. It was found that differences in the grammatical systems of the Slavic languages make it difficult to create identical search expressions with identical results.
The number of documents in the database and the list of keywords is constantly growing, and, accordingly, the conditions for finding the necessary information become more complicated. Therefore, it is very important to develop and offer users methods of search optimization to obtain the necessary information.
Current problems of modern lingvoterminography
Authors: Kazymyrova Iryna
Published: October 2021

Linguists’ views on the functioning of terms lexicography and terminography in the modern terminology are summarised; lingvoterminographical theoretical works are systematized and such areas as metalingvoterminography / theoretical and practical lingvoterminography / applied lingvoterminography are highlighted; lingvoterminographic achievements in Ukrainian and foreign terminology are shown.
Research on metalingvoterminography / theoretical lingvoterminography are multidimensional. Linguists study general problems of metalanguage, also its questions in branch linguistic term subsystems, their relation to terminology and nomenclature, general points in taxonomy and metataxonomy. We stress on typological analysis of linguistic terminological dictionaries in metalingvoterminography, also comparative analysis of dictionaries of linguistic terminology in East Slavic countries and reproduction of branch terminology in terminographic works.
Terminological problems of separate system, relations and connections of different terminology and different schools and the problem of succession in terms; general principles of composing the terminological and encyclopedic dictionaries of linguistic terms are current according to formation the lingvoterminography.
Processing the principles of conclusion branch terminological dictionaries of linguistic terminology encourages researchers to pay attention to the criteria of taking terms, structure, specific competition issues Ukrainian and borrowed terms; features that represent structural variants and synonyms doublets in the dictionary; ways to register the location of items in the dictionary and displays it in a genus- species relations terms; term definition; structure of dictionary entry etc.
Due to the automation of terminology and the use of computer technology there are works on study the peculiarities thesaurus design of terminology. The synthesis of science and scientific fields has led to the emergence of not numerous explorations on interdisciplinary of metalingvoterminography and ideographic metalingvoterminography.
Lingvoterminography today is formed terminological discipline with wide directions of research, significant achievements and great prospects.
