“Russian Soul” as a Modus of Russian Mentality: A Semantic Approach
Authors:   Volgograd State University, Uglinskaya Nadezhda
Published: December 2024

In the article the concept of "Russian soul" is considered as a modus of Russian mentality. Soul as a personal category in combination with the characteristic "Russian" has subjective qualities. It is shown that the semantic method is an important part of the strategies for studying the mental characteristics of the Russian soul. The method allows us to identify its essential properties through the analysis of words and expressions that have become entrenched in the language of "folk culture" to denote habitualized, familiar behavioral patterns and social practices of the bearers of "Russianness." Semantic groups associated with the concept of "Russian soul" include alternative characteristics inherent in the Russian character, which is explained by its inherent inconsistency. The main ambivalent meanings invested in the expression "Russian soul" are highlighted. It is shown that the main drawback of the semantic approach to the analysis of the Russian mentality and its manifestations is the detachment from reality. Although the semantic method has great potential, it cannot be considered universal and sufficient for revealing the content of mental characteristics by analyzing the conceptual sphere of Russian culture due to its inherent subjective and formal nature. Subjectivity is expressed in the fact that in the process of studying individual meanings and determining the frequency of word use, it is impossible to take into account all terms that are close in meaning, united by a dominant idea, but differ in nuances. The insufficiency of the semantic method for studying the "Russian soul" as a modus of Russian mentality is due to the peculiarities of the use of typification techniques in it and can be compensated for by using a prototypical approach, in which specific subjects – historical figures, literary, mythological, or fairy-tale characters, folk heroes, etc. – act as prototypical bearers of "Russianness," thanks to which a consensus of ideas about the "Russian soul" is formed in the national community, ensuring the "recognition" of its manifestations.
APPLICATION OF SYSTEMS ANALYSIS AND COMPUTER ALGORITHMS IN STUDYING ORBITS OF 7-DIMENSIONAL LIE ALGEBRAS
Authors: Krutskikh Vladislav , Loboda Alexandr
Published: December 2024

We discuss a systematic approach to the problem of describing
holomorphically homogeneous real hypersurfaces in the space C4, each of which is an orbit of some real Lie algebra. When studying the family of 7-dimensional Lie algebras, which plays an important role in the problem at hand and contains more than a thousand different types of algebras, it is natural to use computer algorithms. With the participation of the authors of this article, classification results on the orbits of several large blocks of algebras from this family were previously obtained. Relations are established between the presence and dimensions of nilpotent and Abelian subalgebras of the original Lie algebras and such properties of their orbits in C4 as Levi degeneracy and tubularity. In this article, the above ideas and computer algorithms are applied to a family of 18 types of 7-dimensional Lie algebras that have a common 6-dimensional nil-radical. Holomorphic realizations in C4 of these algebras are constructed and by integrating them, all holomorphically homogeneous (in the local sense) Levi-nondegenerate 7-dimensional orbits of this family are obtained. Using a quadratic change of variables, it is shown that all these orbits are holomorphically equivalent to tubular hypersurfaces.
Spirit, Spoken Word, and the Search for Common Ground: Amanda Gorman as Contemplative Preacher
Authors: Clark E. Trey
Published: December 2024

Amid profound political fragmentation, the poet and activist Amanda Gorman demonstrates the power of the spoken word to build bridges toward greater justice and wholeness for all people. Drawing on select theologies of the Spirit and especially Howard Thurman’s notion of common ground, this article considers Gorman’s inaugural poem “The Hill We Climb” as an act of pneumatological or Spirit-inspired contemplative proclamation that fosters community in a time of division. Specific attention is given to how preachers and other communicators might learn from Amanda Gorman’s example to contribute toward social and spiritual healing in our beautiful yet broken world today.

In this study, cobalt ferrite nanoparticles (CFO NPs) were synthesized by sol-gel method and annealed at different temperatures (350°C, 650°C, and 800°C) for supercapacitor application. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed the formation of cubic spinel-structured CFO NPs. With increasing annealing temperature, the crystallite size and crystallinity of CFO NPs increased, while the dislocation density and microstrain decreased. The potential use of these CFO NPs as an electrode for supercapacitors was investigated using cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and galvanostatic charge–discharge tests. The CV curves of the CFO NP–modified electrode showed a typical pseudocapacitive behavior. The CFO NPs annealed at 350°C (CFO-350) exhibited the highest specific capacitance of 855 F/g at 1 A/g due to their smaller crystallite size, higher surface area, and higher defect density. Furthermore, CFO-350 electrode displayed an energy density of 10.23 Wh/kg at a power density of 898.24 W/kg. In conclusion, the electrochemical performance of the CFO NPs can be tuned by controlling their crystallite size, defects, and surface properties through annealing at different temperatures.

Authors: Godke Crislaine de Fátima Gonçalves , Silva Oscar Lopes da , Colauto Romualdo Douglas , Cunha Jacqueline Veneroso Alves da , Durso Samuel de Oliveira
Published: December 2024

This study aimed to identify the performance of ChatGPT in the sufficiency exam of the Federal Accounting Council (CFC), considering conceptual, procedural, and attitudinal skills. Conceptual skills refer to the theories and concepts of Accounting; procedural skills involve the rules and techniques necessary for professional objectives; and attitudinal skills represent acquired dispositions to assess and act in various situations. All exams administered by the CFC between 2018 and 2022 were analyzed using the Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool. The results showed that ChatGPT passed the majority of the editions analyzed (8 out of 10), performing well on "conceptual" and "text interpretation" items but yielding unsatisfactory results on "procedural" and "attitudinal" questions. These findings indicate that AI faces challenges in areas related to professional practice and the application of accounting knowledge. While it performed well in some editions, its approval was partly facilitated by the number of nullified items, highlighting its difficulty in solving more complex accounting problems. The increasing presence of technologies such as ChatGPT raises questions about the future of accounting professionals and the need to adapt to an ever-evolving environment, where automation may allow accountants to focus on strategic activities, such as financial analysis and consulting. Thus, this study offers contributions to accountants, educators, and regulatory bodies regarding the impact of technology on Accounting Science, reflecting on the challenges, opportunities, and risks imposed by technological evolution.
Service of refractories in the regenerator nozzle glass furnace
Authors: Dzyuzer V. Ya.
Published: December 2024

The exhaust flue gases in glass furnaces include products of gas combustion and charge degassing, as well as products of evaporation from the glass melt. Of the main (CO2, H2O, N2 and O2) and secondary (Na, NaOH, Na2SO4, NaCl, HCl and SO2) smoke components for the service of refractories in the regenerator nozzle, sodium sulfate is the most problematic. The change in the aggregate state of gaseous Na2SO4 during the smoke cooling process gives rise to the release of two zones in the middle part of the nozzle: condensation and crystallization of sodium sulfate. Specifying the temperature intervals within which condensation (1100‒880 °C) and crystallization (880‒725 °C) of sodium sulfate occur allows us to formalize the technical conditions for the design of nozzles for single-turn and multi-turn regenerators of glass furnaces.

Published: December 2024

The key technological factors determining the formation of granulometric composition of highly dispersed alpha-alumina powders in the process of thermal treatment of feedstock have been researched. The decisive inﬂuence of temperature modes of synthesis and concentration of Cr2O3 additive on phase transformations and structural and morphological characteristics of reactive alumina is shown. The fact of formation of thermodynamically stable primary crystals of alpha aluminum oxide with a characteristic mode of 0.5 μm has been established for the ﬁrst time. Technological principles of thermal synthesis of reactive alpha-alumina with predictable particle size distribution have been developed.

Authors: Pletnev P. M. , Semantsova E. S.
Published: December 2024

The modes of two-stage ﬁring of wear-resistant products of complex conﬁguration made of aluminum-zirconium ceramics are described. The ﬁring mode of ceramics in the ﬁrst stage is carried out in air at a maximum temperature of 1500 oC with isothermal exposures of 2 and 8 hours at 1300 and 1500 oC, respectively. At the second stage, the method of hot isostatic pressing (НIР) was used at a maximum temperature of 1490 °C with a short-term exposure of 1 hour. The established modes of two-stage ﬁring ensure the production of aluminum zirconium ceramics with a ﬁne-grained structure (0.5‒2.5 microns), a relative density of 99.3 %, with a high level of physical and mechanical properties and resistance to aging.

Authors: Jeong Sun Young , Song Min Sun , Jung Heeja
Published: December 2024

Purpose: This study investigates the mediating effect of patient safety culture on the relationship between professionalism, self-leadership, and compliance with infection prevention activity against emerging respiratory infectious diseases among nurses working in geriatric long-term care hospitals. Methods: In total, 136 nurses from eight geriatric long-term care hospitals were invited to participate. For the statistical analyses, descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson’s correlation coefficient analyses were employed. The mediating effect was analyzed using the three-step mediation procedure of Baron and Kenny in hierarchical regression, and the significance of the mediating effect was tested using the Sobel test. Results: Patient safety culture had a full mediating effect on the relationship between professionalism and compliance with infection prevention activity (Z=3.14, p=.001) and a full mediating effect on the relationship between self-leadership and compliance with infection prevention activity (Z=3.37, p<.001). Conclusion: The study findings indicate that a higher patient safety culture within the organization further enhances compliance with infection prevention activity. Therefore, it is crucial to develop strategies to enhance nurses’ professionalism and self-leadership, as well as to improve organizational patient safety culture for the infection control in geriatric long-term care hospitals.

Authors: Kim Hee Jung , Ha Ju Young
Published: December 2024

Purpose: This study was conducted to design content for a sarcopenia intervention app. Methods: The Delphi method was used with an expert group to validate the contents. The instrument was developed based on a literature review. We categorized sarcopenia intervention content into three main categories and fourteen subcategories. Thirteen experts participated in two consecutive rounds of surveys, which included 5-point Likert scale questions and open-ended questions. Based on experts’ opinions, the Content Validity Index (CVI) for content validity and the Coefficient of Variation (CV) for stability were calculated. Results: In the first Delphi survey, items with a CVI value of less than 0.75 were deleted. The details were revised based on the experts. opinions. The second Delphi survey showed a CVI value ranging from 0.90 to 1.00 and a CV value ranging from 0.06 to 0.14 for all items. The study identified three criteria for diagnosing possible sarcopenia, eleven factors for exercise intervention, and three aspects for nutritional intervention. Conclusion: This Delphi research study confirmed the essential contents required for developing an intervention app for sarcopenia in older adults. Based on this study’s results, a sarcopenia intervention app can be developed and used as a tool for intervening with sarcopenia patients.
Perspectives on registered nurse retention in nursing homes in Korea: A qualitative study
Authors: Lee Jiyeon
Published: December 2024

Purpose: This study aimed to understand the factors influencing registered nurses’ (RNs) intentions to remain employed in their current nursing homes (NHs). Methods: Data were collected through individual in-depth interviews with 10 RNs in five Korean NHs from May 1 to May 31, 2024, and analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: RNs in NHs reported that their intention to stay was influenced by “positive interactions with residents,” “cooperative relationships among staff,” and “stability from long-term employment.” Conversely, their intention to leave was influenced by “work burden from insufficient RNs,” “role conflict,” and “low salaries.” Conclusion: This study indicates that significant reforms in staffing regulations and compensation systems are required to retain RNs. Improving working conditions is crucial for healthcare systems to provide effective long-term care to older adults. These changes are essential to maintain the quality of long-term care services.

Walter Benjamin face aux postphilologies
Authors: CUARTAS Juan Pablo , ENNIS Juan Antonio
Published: December 2024

Cet article analyse l'état de la question de ce que nous appellerons, un retour de la philologie. Au cours des deux dernières décennies, cette question a occupé un espace de discussion dans l'espace de la théorie, en Europe (Agamben, Didi-Huberman, Hamacher), aux États-Unis (Warren, Gumbrecht, Said) et en Amérique latine (Antelo, Link). Bien entendu, ces mentions ne visent pas à épuiser une bibliographie abondante et variée. Il y a cependant un trait commun à la quasi-totalité d'entre eux : l'invocation de Walter Benjamin. Cela dépend des aspects plus ou moins décisifs de leur sauvetage ou de leur récupération de la philologie en tant que pratique, savoir faire, mode de lecture, éthique du lecteur spécialisé, ou encore en tant que manière de penser le dépassement des frontières discrètes entre linguistique et critique, plus distinctes ces derniers temps qu'avant le « tournant linguistique ». Toutefois, il est intéressant de remarquer que, dans l'œuvre de Benjamin, la mention de la philologie (contrairement à de nombreuses autres pratiques, spécialités, disciplines ou théories) n'apparaît pas de manière récurrente ou systématique, elle n'occupe pas une place prima facie décisive ou programmatique. Cependant, la méthodologie de Benjamin est impensable sans une forme particulière de « regard philologique » que nombre de ces auteurs ont pris soin de sauver de manière plus ou moins détaillée selon les cas. Nous analyserons quelques exemples de l'œuvre de Benjamin et de l'histoire de sa tradition et de sa transmission sous la forme d'un dialogue critique. Ce dialogue s'inscrit dans le cadre du débat contemporain sur la portée et la condition de ce que l'on appelle « la philologie ».
El Archivo en el astillero
Authors: RASIC María Eugenia
Published: December 2024

En este capítulo se propone reflexionar acerca del carácter situado –físico, territorial, político e histórico: dimensiones que aquí se cruzan en el espacio e imagen del astillero y sus barcos– de nuestras perspectivas y metodologías de trabajo, así como también reflexionar acerca de ciertas prácticas críticas de trabajo con archivos: restaurar, reparar, recuperar, reconstruir. Estas suponen, a su vez, un gesto de lectura particular que insiste en el permanente retorno a una orilla, es decir, en la vuelta, una y otra vez, a comenzar a leer y a pensar desde otro tiempo y desde otro lugar. Cuando nos ponemos a reflexionar desde allí el armado y desarmado de nuestros archivos y aparatos de lectura, nos exponemos no sólo, como en la novela de Onetti, a la viruta del pasado de esos materiales, sino también a la presencia del pasado en un presente que no lo deja ser el mismo, pero que con esa otredad punzante carga a nuestra tarea de un futuro siempre perdurable, como lo lleva a cuestas el barco pintado de Daniel Omar Favero o las fábulas de las Abuelas eternas. De este modo, restaurar, reparar, recuperar, reconstruir son intervenciones críticas, y a la vez pedagógicas y políticas, que deben insistir en esa promesa, puesto que dar a leer un archivo es, ante todo, dar a leer un futuro perdurable. Esta será la astilla de la historia en los papeles y en las instituciones públicas.
Les revues comme appareils de sensibilité
Authors: STEDILE LUNA Verónica
Published: December 2024

Les écrits critiques des revues Ciclo, A partir de cero, poesía buenos aires y Letra y Línea, dont les publications se sont étendues entre 1948 et 1960, sont lus au point d'intersection entre l'avant-garde artistique du XXe siècle, l'histoire de la critique littéraire argentine et la matérialité particulière des publications périodiques. Ces trois dimensions superposées dans le même objet indiquent l'impossibilité d'une approche qu’ignore le caractère hétérochronique de certains matériaux. Regarder les écrits critiques de ces revues depuis une politique de l’archive nous permettra de saisir ce qui n'a pas été consolidé comme une tradition, mais reste suspendu dans le cours déjà tracé de l'histoire des idées et de la littérature.

Horacio Quiroga fue un pionero en el desarrollo de una escritura en cruce con el cine, y en ese marco escribió, al menos, dos guiones. Uno de ellos, parcialmente conservado, es la adaptación de su propio cuento La gallina degollada. Esas páginas, documentos no audiovisuales del archivo del cine silente, pueden leerse en diálogo con las notas justamente sobre cine publicadas por el mismo autor, para ver cómo en esa escritura cinematográfica se aloja una concepción a la vez que un estado del, por aquel entonces, nuevo medio.

Attribution of old russian furniture in museums in the first quarter of the twentieth-first century
Authors:   State historical museum, Ugleva Natalia V.
Published: December 2024

Attribution of Old Russian furniture in museums begins in the first third of the twentieth century, and its active development continues in the next century. In 2000, a catalog for the exhibition “One Hundred and Twelve Chairs” was published. For the first time, it includes images of several ancient artifacts and their brief annotations. The next edition on the topic of interest to us was published in St. Petersburg in 2003. Its Old Russian section includes a selective bibliography and two articles in which information about furniture production from antiquity to the XVII centuries is presented in chronological order on the basis of information gleaned from literature, as well as specific monuments for the consideration of stage phenomena. In 2015, a book about the collection of furniture of the Hermitage appeared. The catalog part includes several ancient artifacts previously published in the second half of the twentieth century, without a radical revision of the old information. An example of the practical use of the method of complex research of the monument is the 2017 article by N.V. Ugleva about a retractable table. A detailed study of the monument made it possible to determine that it, like its direct analogues, were made not in the XVII– XVIII, as previously thought, but at the end of the XIX century. In 2018, a book was published dedicated to Russian painted chests, which includes furniture of the XVI–XVII centuries. The author analyzes its design and decor, suggests a new dating. In the same year, a collective monograph was published, about the phenomenon of domestic throne chairs. Two articles directly concern the topic of interest to us. In the first of them, “For Fear and Greatness”, the question of terminology is solved, the historical evolution of this type of ceremonial setting for official receptions in Russia has been traced since ancient times. The second article about Russian throne chairs [24]. For the first time, these monuments are considered as examples of stylistic art. The same algorithm of practical work with museum exhibits is reflected in the published report by N.V. Ugleva on the new attribution of the curule chair from the collection of the Historical Museum. Previously considered a model of the XVII century. On the basis of an art history analysis, it was ranked among the works of the last third of the XV – first third of the XVI centuries. The only foreign author who published Russian artifacts of the XVII century is D. Miller, who included two monuments from the Hermitage collection. In the XXI century, the development of the science of ancient Russian furniture has risen to a new stage, when doubts were expressed about the relevance of old dating and the idea of separating the ancient heritage into a separate zone of independent research is being viewed.
High-latitude polar station “Tikhaya Bay” on Franz Josef Land as an open-air museum
Authors:   Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography (Kunstkamera) Russian Academy of Sciences, Filin Pavel A. ,   Arctic Museum and Exhibition Centre
Published: December 2024

The article discusses the experience of the National Park "Russian Arctic" and the Arctic Museum and Exhibition Center in creating a museum and tourist complex and carrying out emergency work at a number of historical sites of the high-latitude polar station “Tikhaya Bay” on Franz Josef Land (Arkhangelsk region of the Russian Federation). The polar station, created in the initial period of the development of the Soviet Arctic (1929), has been preserved almost in its original form and was declared in 2015 “a newly identified object of the cultural heritage of the Russian Federation”. The polar station is visited by tourists on Russian nuclear-powered icebreakers during their trips to the North Pole in the summer. Since 2011, work has been underway at the station to restore it and create an open-air museum and tourist complex in order to demonstrate it to tourists. Particular attention is paid to the issues of emergency response work at the largest object of the station - an aircraft hangar, which was built in 1932–1933 under the guidance of the famous Soviet polar explorer Ivan Papanin. This is one of the most recognizable buildings in the high-latitude Arctic, associated with the first steps of Soviet aviation in the Polar Regions. At the start of work in 2017, the building was in disrepair and required urgent measures to strengthen it. For the 2019–2020 seasons, work was carried out to replace the rotted parts of the hangar, physically remove the resulting glacier and sheath the hangar with waterproof plywood. Completion of the work was planned for 2020, but due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic, tourist flights to Franz Josef Land were canceled. In 2021, the situation repeated itself, it was only possible to monitor the state of objects, which showed that they are in a stable state. The article highlights the methods and approaches to the preservation and presentation of the historical complex of the station in the face of a number of restrictions due to the inaccessibility of the station, complex natural and climatic factors and the need to combine the functions of preserving objects with their further utilitarian operation as household objects. The main conceptual approach in such conditions is the desire to create not a Skansen-type open air museum showing “frozen time”, but to create a “living museum”, an eco-museum, a museum of activity that respects the historical and cultural heritage, strives to preserve the historical appearance of the station, while saturated with various activities, including the display of modern and historical life at the station, the organization of various kinds of observations and research, including the cultural and natural heritage of Franz Josef Land.
Museological aspects of the assessment of historical and cultural monuments: musealization
Authors:   Azerbaijan State University of Culture and Arts, Eyvazova Yegana Muhamed gyzy
Published: December 2024

This article is devoted to the study of evaluation from the prism of museology, which is the main method of selecting valuable objects from the cultural heritage in order to endow them with the status of historical and cultural monuments. Evaluation of historical and cultural monuments is one of the tasks of museology. Despite the fact that this task is assigned to the newly formed scientific discipline – monument studies, however, the phenomenon of “monument of history and culture” as a classic object of museology research continues to be studied within its framework. Today, the phenomenon of “monument of history and culture” is used in a new content, providing for the protection of the most valuable object in a special mode, that is, at the status level. This new paradigm of attitude to historical and cultural monuments has given impetus to rethinking the museum value of a valuable object, which, in turn, leads to the fact that the same objects of cultural heritage, acquiring a new essence, are interpreted differently each time, “read”, that is, interpreted. In this process, the exclusivity of the act of musealization is manifested, which provides any object of reality with the features of museality. The increasing relevance of this topic was influenced by the theory of the Czech museologist Z. Stransky about the “museum attitude to reality”. The author of the concept of musicality Z. Stransky, in his theoretical calculations, presents the evaluation of objects of museum significance as a process of musealization. The concept of musealization by the Czech museologist is supported and developed in a culturological context by the art historian O.S. Sapanja. This article also analyzes the culturological theses of this researcher about musealization in the context of assessment. Another objective of this article is to identify the museal aspects of a monument of history and culture on the basis of its connections with the act of evaluation – musealization. Evaluation as an act of musealization is carried out from the perspective of the modern system of values. “Value” and “assessment” are classic concepts of museum terminology. Museality is a method of assigning special properties to objects of the real world through the interpretation of the subject (i.e. evaluator) in order to ensure the protection of historical potential. The conducted studies allow us to conclude that it is the museality that appears as the main determining criterion for the status of a monument of history and culture. Since museality as a logical result of the process of musealization is reflected in the information of an object of museum significance. In the article, the act of evaluation is explored in the plane of museum axiology, museum hermeneutics, museum interpretation, the purpose of which is to identify information of museum significance.
Transformation of the value-based attitude towards the traditions of the artistic culture of the territory in the context of marketing communications
Authors:   Ural Federal University named after the first President of Russia B.N. Yeltsin, Ivanova Olga L.
Published: December 2024

Today, in the context of globalization, the question of balance between tradition and innovation in culture is shifting from the sphere of pure art to the field of marketing communications, thus becoming a key to promoting the territory in domestic and foreign markets. The article presents the results of a sociocultural research on the Sverdlovsk oblast’s craftsmen’s attitude towards traditional art, and the results of the study on the specifics of the influence the new media, including advertising, have on the formation of emotion- and value-based attitudes of young adults. The purpose of the present research was to identify the differences in value-based attitudes towards territory’s traditional arts and crafts among producers and consumers of goods and services of folk arts and crafts. The objectives were to reveal the importance of self-identification of young adults in relation to the traditions of the territory’s artistic culture, as well as show the possible ways to increase their interest in the activity of the craftsmen of the Middle Urals. Methods: sociological analysis (polls, questionnaires, in-depth interviews) and psychological analysis (analysis of mental representations). The spatial nature of the mental image makes it possible to use not only answers to interview questions, but also associative self-portraits of people participating in the experiment as material for analysis. The research has shown that craftsmen of Sverdlovsk oblast who are, in fact, just starting to gain experience of functioning in market economy, understand the significance of their mission to form the cultural image of the territory, feel personal responsibility for the preservation of unique technologies and images of traditional arts and crafts. This awareness often leads craftsmen to refuse immediate benefits and material well-being. The psychographic portrait of young adults as a target audience of this sector of the economy allowed us to identify the priority of hedonistic values, the lack of a conscious desire to define one's identity as a resident of a certain territory and an active desire to communicate with friends in the process of productive activity. This last fact makes it possible to determine the grounds for the formation of young people's interest in the origins of the cultural uniqueness of the region.
The Problem of Grade Inflation: Measurement and Analysis
Authors: Markov Andrei R. , Shagas Natalia L. , Merekina Elena V. , Moskaleva Alexandra A.
Published: December 2024

The article includes qualitative and quantitative analysis of the undergraduate student assessment system features in one of the universities in Russia in order to define presence of grade inflation. Grade inflation is understood as assignment of higher grades irrespective of improvement in student academic performance. Three types of grade inflation are considered: static, dynamic and differential. The authors offer interpretation of these types and suggest their methods for measurement. 
The authors use specially collected grade data base of grades for compulsory and elective courses received by several cohorts of students admitted to a public research University. Statistical and econometric methods are used for quantitative analysis. The authors propose course ranking based on the degree of grade distribution shift that can be interpreted as a relative measure of grade inflation that is similar to Pearson asymmetry coefficient. Distribution of grades for elective courses show signes of static grade inflation. Dynamic and differential grade inflation were not detected in the sample analyzed. The paper explores grade inflation control policy options that were part of the consultations with various groups of academic staff. These include: normative regulation of grade distribution; equalizing of grade distribution for different types of courses; stricter regulation of student course selection by types of courses. 
The paper could be useful for academic managers and higher education administrators and experts that study systemic issues in university education and assessment systems performance in particular.

Diarrhea is not a solitary illness but is a part of different conditions. It is characterized by a rise in gut movements and an augmented liquidity of stools. Diarrhea can be acute or chronic concerning the duration of symptoms, and infectious or non-infectious concerning etiology. The differential diagnosis is noticeably large and consequently, the diagnostic tools and pathway are very multifaceted. We present the case of a 74-year-old male, with a history of acute abdominal pain, diarrhea, and fever. Several exams were made but only an examination of the stool samples came back positive for Anisakis. It is a risen infection due to augmented consumption of undercooked fish. Most cases are overlooked because of the wide-ranging variety of symptoms that make the diagnosis challenging. The diagnosis is based on the endoscopy or laparotomy. In symptomatic patients’ physical removal of the Anisakis larva using an endoscope is often curative, while anthelmintics, such as albendazole, can be used although they are not extremely efficacious. Though it is an unusual infection, clinicians should be conscious of it in patients with gastrointestinal symptoms.

Here, we develop Nanopore 3’ end-capture sequencing (Nano3P-seq), a novel method that relies on nanopore cDNA sequencing to simultaneously quantify RNA abundance, tail composition and tail length dynamics at per-read resolution. By employing a template switching-based sequencing protocol, Nano3P-seq can sequence any given RNA molecule from its 3’ end, regardless of its polyadenylation status, without the need for PCR amplification or ligation of RNA adapters.

Osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVF) are a severe complication of osteoporosis associated adverse outcomes, acute and chronic pain syndrome. If vertebral fractures (deformities) are detected, osteoporosis is diagnosed regardless of bone mineral density and the 10-year absolute fracture risk scale of the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool, but subject to the exclusion of other metabolic osteopathies. The article presents differential diagnosis of OVF with osteopathies such as osteomalacia, tumors or metastatic lesions of the spine, Paget»s disease, myeloma, hyper parathyroid osteodystrophy, post-traumatic vertebral deformities, Scheuermann-Mau disease. Differential diagnosis between different types of osteopathies is based on features of the clinical picture, history, changes in laboratory parameters (calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, parathyroid hormone, vitamin D3 and on data from X-ray of the skeleton examination. It is necessary to take into account conditions under which the vertebral fracture occurred, its localization, prevalence, peculiarities of changes in bone structures, presence or absence of osteoporotic background, degenerative-dystrophic changes in the spine. The tactics of managing the patients with OVF is determined by the time after the fracture, its severity, nature of the pain syndrome and includes non-drug and medical measures. Among non-pharmaceutical measures in the acute period of OVF, there are unloading of the spinal column, use of a corset, and physical therapy. Medical measures are aimed at pain relief using injectable and oral forms of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, central acting muscle relaxants and anti-osteoporotic therapy. Dexketoprofen (Dexalgin) is the first-line drug for relief of acute pain in OVF which has a rapid and pronounced analgesic effect. For the anti-osteoporotic therapy, the drugs of choice are parenteral bisphosphonates, denosumab and teriparatide.

The South Bandung basin has had significant population growth in the last ten years, particularly in the regions that border West Java. Consequently, there was an increase in the demand for groundwater, an essential resource for numerous uses. On the other hand, human activities have given impact significantly on the change of groundwater quality in the Bandung basin, the Malabar volcanic area. In the Bandung basin, the Malabar volcanic area has become an important location for urban water supply recharge. Within the current investigation 27 water samples were collected during the dry and wet seasons. The purpose of this study was to analyze the seasonal variability of parameters using different approaches. The comprehensive methods involving the application of multivariate statistics, geographical modelling, and the groundwater quality index. The spatiotemporal variability showed that the dilution effect of precipitation during the rainy season contributed to the significant seasonal variations. The hydrogeochemical facies was determined as Ca-Cl, CaMg-Cl, CaMg-HCO₃, and NaK-HCO₃. The Ground Water Quality Index (GWQI) analysis indicated that physicochemical factors influence water quality classifications from unsuitable to excellent. According to the conceptual model, the upstream area has excellent GWQI; however, the downstream area has decreased GWQI due to anthropogenic influence and the dissolution process. The results suggest that NH₄⁺-N, Fe²⁺, and Mn²⁺ have significant impact on GWQI. The novelties of this research include sensitivity analysis of each parameter to GWQI while conceptual model differentiates its findings from previous research. This conceptual model can be applied in various geographic environments to determine groundwater quality and its distribution regarding seasonal and land use changes.

BACKGROUND: Soft tissue ossificates is not a frequent complication in adults, and are even less common in pediatric practice. The described clinical case is an example of revealing a plantar surface ossificate in an 8-year-old patient with an unburdened somatic history, without previous severe injury. The acute onset of the disease, local pain syndrome with local tissues reaction and impaired walking function demanded exclusion of acute inflammatory disease, bone traumatic injury. Clinical and instrumental examination as well as surgical intervention revealed ossificates in the plantar surface in the calcaneus projection confirmed by morphological testing. Foci of pathological ossification which develop outside the skeleton bones (ossificates) can complicate the course of severe trauma, including central nervous system impairments, or they may be symptoms of genetic or systemic disease of the skeleton. In the literature, there are described cases of ossificates in adults, less often in children.
CLINICAL CASE DESCRIPTION: The patient was 8 years old. She was hospitalized in an urgent order with the preliminary diagnosis “M86.9 osteomyelitis of the left calcaneus(?)”. The patient complained of pain on the plantar surface of the left heel, lameness — inability to step on the left heel, local edema, hyperemia and marked tenderness during palpation of soft tissues. Disease history: 3 days before hospitalization, being home, she jumped to the floor from the height of 40–50 cm, and immediately felt pain, inability to walk, swelling on the plantar surface of the left heel.
CONCLUSION: The presented clinical case required additional instrumental and differential diagnostics to exclude acute inflammatory reaction in the calcaneus and in the surrounding tissues. Diagnostic and curative procedures revealed an ossificate in soft tissues of the plantar surface in projection of the calcaneus.
