Searching for the Dostoevsky House (Notes on the Failed Sensation)
Authors: Bessonova Albina , Viktorovich Vladimir
Published: May 2022

The article presents the facts that contradict A. S. Syrovatko’s statement, which claims that the current territory of the Museum is not related to the Dostoevsky estate (The Unknown Dostoevsky. 2021. No. 4). When studied objectively, the objects found during the excavations do not contradict the presence of “traces of Dostoevsky.” The so-called memorial period of estate ownership by the writer’s parents, which lasted only seven years, was unable to leave too many traces, and the objects found by archaeologists in the 18th — early 19th centuries could have been used by the Dostoevsky family up to 1830s. Additional arguments are introduced to resolve the dispute: the result of the dendrological examination and written sources (previously known and recently discovered), namely, boundary plans, memoirs and diaries of A. M. Dostoevsky, family correspondence. The proposed comprehensive approach and a comparison of all the currently available sources, allows us to attribute the location of the Dostoevsky manor house to the preserved wing where the museum was recently opened. In connection with the problem of identification of the museum house, the hypotheses of other authors are considered (T. N. Dementieva and L. A. Tarasova, L. A. Voronkina) about the cardinal changes that took place in the architecture of the manor Darovoe at different times. Sources indicate, on the contrary, a certain continuity in the development of the estate under all three of its owners: the Khotyaintsev, Dostoevsky and Ivanov families. The key factor is the location of two “mounds” under the lime trees as “green canteens” tied to the manor house, and on the other side, the border between the landowner’s estate and peasant homesteads remained unchanged (as confirmed by archival documents and the boundary wall and moat preserved). Conservative localization is characteristic of the life in a noble estate, once and forever inscribed in the surrounding landscape. Taking into account the experience of their predecessors, the Dostoevskys and Ivanovs did not make radical changes to the space inhabited before them, and their house did not change its location.

Authors: Boghossian Nansi S. , Greenberg Lucy T. , Edwards Erika M. , Horbar Jeffrey D.
Published: May 2022

OBJECTIVES

To examine the prevalence, characteristics, clinical course, and length of stay (LOS) among 4 groups of infants who were transferred for convalescence and subsequently discharged from the hospital; failed transfer for convalescence and were (a) either readmitted, or (b) transferred again; and were not transferred for convalescence.

METHODS

Among very low birth weight infants hospitalized at US Vermont Oxford Network centers between 2006 and 2020, we examined the distribution of characteristics, delivery room and NICU usage measures, outcomes, and LOS among the 4 groups of infants.

RESULTS

Among 641 712 infants, a total of 28 985 (4.5%) infants were transferred for convalescent care; of 28 186 infants, 182 (0.65%) died before hospital discharge and 2551 (9.1%) failed the transfer (1771 [6.3%] were readmitted and 780 [2.8%] were transferred again). There were major regional and NICU variations in the practice of the transfer for convalescence; New England (18.8%) had the highest whereas East South Central (2.2%) had the lowest percentage of transfer for convalescence. Infants who transferred for convalescence and were discharged from the hospital had a similar LOS and similar distribution of NICU usage measures and outcomes to infants who were not transferred for convalescence. Infants who failed the transfer for convalescence had a longer LOS than infants who were transferred for convalescence and then discharged from the hospital.

CONCLUSIONS

The rates of transfer for convalescence and transfer for convalescence failure were low. Future studies should weigh the risks and benefits of transfer for convalescence, which might differ on the basis of geography.
Changing trends: Beliefs and attitudes toward sharks and implications for conservation
Authors: Neves Joao , McGinnis Terran , Giger Jean-Christophe
Published: May 2022

As history shows, and contrary to modern western society’s feelings, sharks were once respected and worshipped. Sensationalized media coverage negatively impacts the public’s perception of sharks and lack of information about management and conservation options negatively impacts policy makers’ ability to keep shark populations healthy. Understanding that people’s attitudes about sharks will influence their willingness to find a way to coexist with them, it is essential to acknowledge these attitudes when developing conservation measures. Just as risk management policies must adapt to new evidence-based information, so must shark conservation efforts adapt to the realities of public opinion. This perspective review, focused on the psychological aspects of human-shark interactions, highlights some of the current research, mostly from Australia and other countries where those interactions are more salient, on the beliefs and attitudes people have toward sharks. With this review, we hope to help policymakers and stakeholders, such as Environmental Non-Governmental Organizations (ENGOs) and the zoological community to better address some of the shark conservation challenges ahead.
COVID-19 as a Gauge for Secularization? Pandemics, Religious Voices, and Politics in France
Authors: Obadia Lionel
Published: May 2022

Based on empirical information recorded in audio-visual and virtual media, online religionist and non-religious websites, and an academic literature review, I examine the relationships between religions and politics as they are disclosed in the context of the coronavirus outbreak in France. In secularized France, religions did not play an important role in the pandemic, either as facilitator of the disease or as a limitation on its spread. Religious repertoires served marginally, if at all, as resources for interpretation, except in circumscribed sectors of French society. Religious references, however, flourished under different oblique and rather discreet forms. I thus expose the reactions to COVID-19 in France and question the complex connections with secularism (laïcité). In contrast to other countries affected by COVID-19, in France the pandemic brought about the paradoxical situation of a secular country stimulating, on the one side, the engagement of religious organizations in the fight against the virus, and on the other, maintaining limitations to religious action in the public sphere.
Religious Responses to a Pandemic
Authors: Lang Graeme
Published: May 2022

During historic plagues some religious advocates attributed a plague to the actions of a deity, and this claim has also been applied to the COVID-19 pandemic. Most contemporary religious leaders and believers, however, accepted secular analysis of the pandemic, and complied, to varying degrees, with public health restrictions and remedies. But some religious leaders and groups defied these measures and had much higher rates of infections and deaths than the general population. Case studies of selected groups can expand our knowledge of these impacts and reactions. I focus especially on Amish and Ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities, two insular religious subcultures which have disparaged the sciences and tried to maximize their autonomy and cultural separateness from the surrounding society. Both internal and contextual factors are important in understanding their reactions to the pandemic.
‘Sparks of Kuwai’
Authors: Wright Robin M
Published: May 2022

The spread of Covid-19 among the vulnerable indigenous populations of Amazonia has produced complex moral and spiritual issues that have demanded creative and cooperative solutions. The Baniwa indigenous peoples of the Northwest Amazon pin the spread of the pandemic on the failure of humans to observe respectful relations with the spirit-people of the environment. Ritual specialists typically believe that the pandemic is due to humans having violated the original instructions, remembered in initiation ceremonies and reinforced throughout a lifetime. Consequently, they further believe, the spirit-people of the environment retaliate by inflicting sicknesses, including the Covid-19 pandemic. To reverse the damage, a strong movement of healthcare led by indigenous women has promoted a revitalization of the use of herbal medicines together with healing practices and the traditional teachings of the initiation rites for men and women.

Authors: Dantas Viviane Emanuele Barbosa , De Oliveira Agostinha Mafalda Barra , De Sousa Juliana Carvalho
Published: May 2022

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi verificar a eficácia da aplicação da música funcional na redução do nível de estresse dos profissionais de um hospital veterinário, localizado nas dependências de uma Instituição Federal de Ensino Superior do interior do Nordeste brasileiro. Para tanto, foi realizado um estudo quase-experimental com 21 profissionais, que responderam o Inventário de Sintomas de Estresse para Adultos de Lipp antes e depois de experienciarem a música funcional por três meses. Os resultados dos testes Wilcoxon comprovaram que a música funcional no ambiente de trabalho é uma estratégia inovadora de cuidado humanizado para os profissionais investigados, indicando que os níveis de estresse dos profissionais do hospital veterinário reduziram com a experiência musical. Desta forma, pode-se dizer que a música funcional receptiva surge como uma excelente forma de intervenção para diminuir o estresse em ambientes laborais.
Quando os vendilhões do templo são bem vindos: as agências de viagens como intermediárias no consumo religioso das caravanas evangélicas para a Terra Santa.
Authors: Frossard Miriane Sigiliano , Quadros Rebecca
Published: May 2022

s caravanas para a Terra Santa representam uma tradição que vem sendo continuamente reinventada por fiéis, agentes de viagens, governos e líderes religiosos que, ao evocarem a tradição, procuram trazer à tona um acervo de referências religiosas e práticas rituais acumuladas ao longo dos anos em torno das representações sobre a Terra Santa, ressignificando-as e utilizando-as para propósitos variados. Ocupando relevante papel nessa oferta de bens simbólicos, as agências de viagens se configuram como um importante intermediário entre o bem sagrado e o fiel, e, por isso, analisar o papel destas, em meio aos evangélicos brasileiros, enquanto intermediárias dos discursos, tradições e representações desse tipo de viagem, é o objetivo desse trabalho.

Published: May 2022

Este texto tem por objetivo compreender alguns aspectos da religiosidade popular brasileira, tal como pensados por Luís da Câmara Cascudo, a luz dos apontamentos realizados por Gilles Deleuze e Félix Guattari, acerca do inconsciente. A partir de uma abordagem radicalmente crítica da psicanálise, a dupla de filósofos franceses, trouxe importantes contribuições à área dos estudos da subjetividade. Lançando mão destes referenciais teóricos, mais especificamente ao que se refere aos conceitos de sínteses e máquinas do inconsciente – termos presente na obra intitulada O Anti-Édipo de 1972 -, vamos em busca de pensar a “religião no povo” de Cascudo.

Authors: Ashuri Reni Kristiana , Hosen Muhamad Nadratuzzaman
Published: May 2022

Abstract: This study aimed to analyze the soundness of one of the Islamic banks in Indonesia, namely PT. Bank BTPN Syariah Tbk. This study is descriptive research with a quantitative approach. The data used is secondary data obtained from the annual financial statements of Bank BTPN Syariah for the period 2016-2020. The analytical technique used is the CAMELS, RGEC and Altman Z-Score methods. The overall study results show that the health of Bank BTPN Syariah in the period 2016-2020 is at the 'Very Healthy' level on the CAMELS assessment, while the RGEC assessment shows the 'Very Healthy' level and the 'Healthy' rating on the Altman Z-Score assessment. The excellent health condition of Bank BTPN Syariah during the Covid-19 pandemic was apparently inseparable from the management's efforts to carry out appropriate, focused and planned strategies and risk mitigation. The three analytical methods show similar results, so they can be used as a reference for calculating the health of other Islamic banks.
Keywords: Bank Soundness Level; CAMELS; RGEC; Altman Z-Score.

Published: May 2022

Resumo O objetivo deste estudo é buscar a interpretação de experiências e dos significados atribuídos pelos gestores escolares durante seu processo de capacitação no contexto da formação continuada oferecida pelo Governo do Estado da Paraíba. Com base na participação num dos módulos de formação continuada de gestores escolares com 35 diretores e carga horária de 24 horas, utilizamos os elementos constituintes do diálogo reflexivo para compreender a formação de gestores escolares. Os resultados apontam para uma dissonância entre o conteúdo da formação em relação à realidade e demandas dos gestores escolares, criando um binômio teoria x prática. É possível também identificar os problemas políticos que envolvem a escolha dos diretores escolares e as consequências na prática de fazer gestão. A formação de gestores públicos, ancorada na reflexividade prática, pode ser considerada um mecanismo de contribuição para a gestão democrática.

Government-academia cooperation in the Brazilian National Health System: an analysis of the National Program for Access and Quality Improvement in Primary Care
Authors: Cavalcanti Pauline , Fernandez Michelle , Gurgel Junior Garibaldi Dantas
Published: May 2022

Abstract This study analyzes the construction of institutional cooperation between the Brazilian Ministry of Health and academic institutions to develop the National Program for Access and Quality Improvement in Primary Care in the Brazilian National Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde - SUS). This qualitative research is based on a case study on this kind of cooperation, which carried out documental analysis and interviews with key actors from the Ministry of Health and academia. The political-institutional context of the federal government and the Ministry of Health in 2011 favored a greater opening to the theme of primary care and health evaluation, and a closeness to academia. This institutional cooperation is the result of a historical process where previous initiatives in the field of public health have connected public and academic managers interested in the development of SUS. This study contributes to the debate about the cooperation between government agencies and academia in implementing public health policies in Brazil.

Published: May 2022

RESUMO Com base nos pressupostos dos Modelos Baseados no Uso (MBU), em especial, da Gramática de Construções Cognitiva, examinamos, neste artigo, o padrão construcional [DAR UMA N-ADA SPrep] e discutimos sua relação com a construção bitransitiva. A partir de dados diacrônicos e sincrônicos, coletados na base digital do Corpus do Português (DAVIES; FERREIRA, 2006), buscamos evidências para o processo de construcionalização do padrão denominal e sua expansão no português moderno/contemporâneo. Partimos da hipótese de que a construção denominal [DAR UMA N-ADA SPrep] licencia dois subesquemas distintos de acordo com as características do nome base e de que é sancionada por um esquema mais abstrato [DAR UMA N-ADA (SPrep)] que sanciona também a construção deverbal V-DA. As evidências diacrônicas e a análise das propriedades morfossintáticas, semânticas e discursivas de instâncias coletadas em sites e blogs forneceram argumentos favoráveis à postulação de dois subesquemas ligados a um padrão mais geral [DAR UMA N-ADA SPrep]: um subesquema com nominalizações resultantes de nomes de instrumentos e outro resultante de nomes de partes do corpo. Além disso, constatamos uma relação de herança parcial entre a construção denominal e a construção bitransitiva de transferência de posse, principalmente daquelas formadas por nominalizações que tomam como base nomes de instrumentos.
Circular RNA 0000311 Aggravates the Aggressiveness of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma via miR-876-5p/EZH2 Axis
Authors: Xu Jing , Lin Qing , Zhao Xiqun
Published: May 2022

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the potentials of circ_0000311 in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was applied for calculating the mRNA and miRNA level. Western blot was performed to determine protein expression. The binding sites between miR-876-5p and circ_0000311/Enhancer of zeste homolog-2 (EZH2) were predicted using bioinformatics tools and confirmed by luciferase and RNA pull-down assays. Cell proliferation was detected using CCK-8 and colony formation assay. Cell migration and invasion were detected using transwelll assay. Cellular functions were determined using CCK-8, colony, and transwell assay. The results showed that circ_0000311 was overexpressed in OSCC tissues and cells. However, circ_0000311 knockdown impeded the proliferation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of OSCC cells. Circ_0000311 targeted miR-876-5p, down-regulation of which promoted the aggressiveness of OSCC. Additionally, circ_0000311 sponged miR-876-5p to up-regulate a key regulator of EMT EZH2, which promoted the proliferation and aggressiveness of OSCC. Taken together, circ_0000311 aggravated the OSCC progression via regulating miR-876-5p/EZH2 axis.
Energy-efficient design of building facade, inspired by human skin
Authors: Tafreshi Faezeh , Alemi Babak
Published: May 2022

A great amount of energy consumed is utilised to provide comfort in buildings. Windows (all transparent walls) are one of the factors for waste of energy. This study uses the characteristics of human skin as a protective layer and an interface between the inside and outside of the body to attempt to improve the performance of windows or transparent walls of a building facade. Simultaneously, the process of design and solving the problem is articulated, and the characteristics of human skin are discovered. Then, the traits of human skin are applied to enhance the diverse functions of building facades. Finally, from among more than 15 preliminary designs based on human skin characteristics, a vertical shading system is presented that can control the incoming radiation. The design is evaluated in two modes: controlled by temperature and by the intensity of sunlight. The results show that more than 10% of energy consumption is reduced with movable shading systems. An independent study of energy consumption for cooling, heating and lighting shows it is more reasonable to use the temperature-controlled shading system, which can save 23–25% of the annual cost of energy.
Treatment of Peripheral Nerve Injury with Tension Stitch Method: An Experimental Study
Authors: SAKİNSEL Ali , SIZMAZ Mert , BAŞ Lütfü
Published: May 2022

Objective: The aim of our study is to examine the tension stitch method we use to prevent unwanted tissue deficiency between the cut nerve endings in rats that will be kept waiting for secondary neurorrhaphy.
Material and Method: 30 male Wistar Albino rats were randomly divided into three groups. The right sciatic nerve was released proximally from the sciatic nerve 1 \ 3 bifurcation area in the first and second groups and anastomosed with the tibial nerve in the third group. After 4 weeks, the region was reopened, unhealthy nerve endings were cut under the microscope, and secondary neurorrhaphy was performed end-to-end.
Results: In the third experimental group, it was observed that there was no change in the position of the tension stitches placed on the distal and proximal ends of the sciatic nerve, and the nerve endings adhered to the area where they were positioned by suture. At the eighth week, it was observed that the rats that could not use their right lower extremities in the preoperative and early postoperative periods used their extremities more actively. At the twelfth week, it was observed that the rats in all groups had complete recovery of trophic disturbances and the animals started to walk better visually.
Discussion: In our study, the electrophysiological and histopathological data obtained at the eighth week and obtained at the twelfth week were significantly better in the tension-stitched group compared to the other groups, indicating that the best early and late nerve healing was in this group.
SLOVENIAN CHILDREN’S AND YOUNG ADULT LITERATURE OF THE LAST DECADE
Authors:   Faculty of Education, University of MariborFaculty of Arts, University of Maribor, Haramija Dragica
Published: May 2022

The anthology Slovenia’s Best for Young Readers (2020) comprises of 44 contemporary Slovenian creators of literary works aimed at children and young adults and serves as a starting point for discussion. The methodology establishes a selection of authors and their texts in the anthology (at least three works of children’s or young adult literature, awards and nominations in the last ten years) and a comparative analysis of rewarded literary genres and the chosen creators’ poetics. The exception are authors who have received awards for their life’s work and in general no longer receive current awards but are crucial for the development of the contemporary Slovenian children’s and/or young adult literature (Svetlana Makarovič, Neža Maurer, Miroslav Košuta, Slavko Pregl, Boris A. Novak) and have been active since the 1970s. The comparison of literary works which have received awards in the last decade and the authors’ complete works showcases several quality creators who stand out in the last decade: Peter Svetina and Anja Štefan have received important several awards, followed by Nataša Konc Lorenzutti, Vinko Möderndorfer, Lila Prap, Andrej Rozman, Bina Štampe Žmavc, and Janja Vidmar, who have received awards or nominations. Special attention is also paid to creators of original picture books (Prap, K. Musil, Peklar, Wang) and literary genres. The analysis of the latter shows the most productive patterns of contemporary Slovenian children’s and young adult literature, namely fairy tales, short contemporary stories, and contemporary young adult novels. There is a noticeable divide between the most-awarded and most-read works; the authors who receive the highest number of awards are not always most-read
WHO'S AFRAID OF THE BIG BAD CHARACTER?
Authors:   Blaže Koneski Faculty of Philologyin SkopjeSs.Cyril and Methodius Universityin Skopje, Dimova Marija Gjorgjieva
Published: May 2022

The theoretical descriptions of postmodernist fiction, offered by Brian McHale, Patricia Waugh, Dubravka Oraic Tolic, emphasize the ontological dominant that is embodied in the literary texts as a problematization of the boundaries between worlds and texts. This paper will elaborate thеse theoretical premises through the interpretation of the novel The Мathematician's Daughterby the Macedonian author Venko Andonovski. The interpretive focus will be on three levels.1.the interpretation of ontological themes in the novel; 2.interpretation of metafictional devices (intertextuality, intartextuality, transtextuality, vacant quotation, recursive structures, transworldidentities), through which these themes are articulated in the novel; 3. the interpretation of the function that these metafictional devices have in demonstration of ontological games with the boundaries between worlds (literature -reality, art -life, fact -fiction, author-character) and between texts (original and plagiarized, texts and metatexts). The interpretation of Venko Andonovski's novel led to two conclusions with theoretical implications. First, all devices in the novel participate in the affirmation of the complex metafictional theme (the reality-fiction relationship) and, in that sense, participate in redefining the understanding of the novel as a mimetic genre. Second: the ontological games that participate in the novel’s structure spill over into the act of reception of the text, also involving the reader in ontological games.

Published: May 2022

The paper deals with the semantic analysis of Russian paremia with a lexeme beerand gives a cultural representation of the meanings and use of beer as a Russian traditional beverage.For this work, two hundred paremia were collected in which the lexeme beer(пиво) appeared, and in the analysis are included representative examples concerning the characteristics of the beverage and the specifics of its preparation. The corpus of proverbs was collected from the collections of proverbs, dictionaries, scientific articles, doctoral dissertation, and internet sources.We are interested in the meaning of beer as a beverage in Russian culture, on which occasions is consumed, whether its use is characteristic of a particular social group and what status it has had throughout the centuries as well as its role in Russian traditional culture.Sincethe proverbs are born from the cultural tradition itself, in seeking answers to the questions we have used data from sources that deal with cultural aspects and customs.The results of the survey show that the perception of beer is related to folk beliefsand reflects the daily life of the community in which the potion is consumed. Beer is perceived as a favourite beverage that is often consumed. It is also a potion of celebration, which expresses the hospitality and is consumed in special occasions (seasons and holidays) in a larger amount for holidays such as Maslenitsa, Easter, Christmas, but the consumption is mostly related to rest and entertainment. The producers of their own beer are characterized as wealthy and generous people who are considered superior to others

EUROPEAN SOCIETY IN THE POETRY BY V.F. KHODASEVICH IN THE 1920s AND 1930s
Authors:   Perm State University, Sukhoeva Darya А.
Published: May 2022

The paper considers the image of “the man of the masses”in emigration poems by V.F. Khodasevich. In his latest book of poetry “European Night” and other emigration poems several portraits of people of the masses can be discovered: men, women, single people, married couples, old people, children as well as collective images. Thereby in“German” and “French” poetry Khodasevich creates a model of European society in the period between two world wars. Moreover, in works written in Germany and France the poet addresses the conflict between the main character (the poet) and the man of the masses. This conflict is based on the impossibility of the latter to understand art. The author of the paper concludes that in Khodasevich’s emigration poems European society has no future
Оценка достаточности условий для льготного налогообложения на региональном уровне
Authors: Бушинская Татьяна Владимировна
Published: May 2022

Предмет: на фоне кардинальных изменений геополитической ситуации и усиливающегося санкционного давления особую актуальность приобретают вопросы разработки механизма отбора налогоплательщиков для предоставления льгот на региональном уровне, который обеспечивает достаточный уровень доходов бюджетной системы в сочетании с адекватным уровнем деловой активности хозяйствующих субъектов. Цель: разработка и обоснование механизма отбора налогоплательщиков для предоставления налоговых льгот на основе количественной оценки достаточности условий льготного налого­ обложения. Дизайн исследования: одна из нерешенных задач в сфере льготного налогообложения – отсутствие объективных оценок степени благоприятности (или достаточности) условий налогообложения при определении категорий налогоплательщиков для предоставления льгот. Необходимость поиска новых подходов при принятии управленческих решений обусловлена рядом факторов, к числу которых, по мнению автора, можно отнести наличие политических решений и законодательной инициативы, направленных на обеспечение достигнутого уровня инвестиционной и инновационной активности, необходимость формирования доходов бюджетной системы, обеспечивающих реализацию задач и функций государства, в том числе в изменяющихся геополитических условиях; отсутствие универсальной методики принятия решений о предоставлении налоговых льгот и оценки их эффективности. Результаты: для выявления категорий получателей налоговых льгот и преференций обоснован комплекс мер, основанный на комплексной оценке достаточности условий для льготного налогообложения на основе применения коэффициента локализации, методики идентификации отраслей рыночной специализации, рейтинга налоговой составляющей. Предлагаемый инструментарий, как полагает автор, обеспечит на региональном уровне баланс фискальных интересов субъекта РФ и интересов предпринимательского сообщества, сохранение достигнутого уровня деловой активности бизнес-структур.

Виды оценок объектов в соответствии с ФСБУ 6/2020 «Основные средства»: новации или традиции
Authors: Ситникова Валентина Анатольевна , Ситникова София Александровна
Published: May 2022

Предмет: оценка объектов основных средств в соответствии с требованиями ФСБУ 6/2020 «Основные средства». Цель: анализ оценок основных средств, введенных ФСБУ 6/2020, для выявления степени их новизны и особенностей формирования для российской практики. Дизайн исследования: в статье проведен анализ оценок, которые введены в связи с обязательным применением ФСБУ 6/2020 «Основные средства». Положения нормативных документов и рекомендаций Фонда «НРБУ «БМЦ» в отношении оценки объектов до перехода к требованиям указанного стандарта позволяли использовать некоторые «новые» оценки, в том числе ликвидационную и балансовую стоимости, а также такой инструмент, как обесценение, до введения в практику ФСБУ 6/2020 «Основные средства». Исследование основано, прежде всего, на требованиях положений нормативных документов, в том числе действовавших до введения в практику ФСБУ 6/2020 «Основные средства». Результаты: исследование совокупности оценок основных средств позволило утверждать, что количество оценок, которые введены в связи с переходом на ФСБУ 6/2020, заметно меньше количества оценок, которые применялись ранее. Отмеченный факт не означает упрощение оценивания объектов в связи с появлением необходимости использования справедливой стоимости, а также с обязанностью определения ликвидационной стоимости. Сравнительно новой для российской практики является лишь оценка по справедливой стоимости. Определение справедливой стоимости может вызвать затруднение в организациях, не имеющих опыта работы по международным стандартам финансовой отчетности.
Внешние и внутренние факторы риска в анализе результативности деятельности пивоваренных организаций РФ
Authors: Яковлев Тимур Валентинович
Published: May 2022

Предмет: объективные процессы, в частности, переход России от модели потребления алкогольной продукции «северного» типа к «центрально-европейскому» формируют устойчивый задел для развития и повышения конкурентоспособности пивоваренных организаций РФ. Цель: разработка методического подхода к статистическому анализу влияния внешних и внутренних факторов риска на результативность деятельности пивоваренных организаций РФ по открытым данным. Дизайн исследования: методический подход к анализу включает три этапа. На первом этапе для каждой пивоваренной организации производится оценка факторных нагрузок по индикаторам риска. На втором – для каждого момента времени оцениваются параметры зависимостей результативности деятельности на факторные нагрузки. На третьем – оценивается вклад внешних и внутренних факторов риска в формирование показателей результативности деятельности пивоваренных организаций. В работе рассматривается период с 2002 по 2020 г. В исследуемом периоде действовали 1 783 пивоваренные организации. Для анализа были отобраны организации, которые осуществляли непрерывное функционирование на протяжении более 10 лет в исследуемом периоде. Результаты: в ходе анализа установлено, что подверженность факторам риска в значительной степени варьируется в зависимости от размера пивоваренной организации. Установлено, что положительный вклад в формирование результативности деятельности характерен для факторов экспортного и валютного рисков. В составе факторов, оказывающих значимое отрицательное влияние, были идентифицированы факторы акцизного риска, риска развития расстройств, вызванных употреблением алкоголя, а также риск смертности, вызванной употреблением алкоголя. Наиболее ярко эти эффекты проявляются при исследовании крупных пивоваренных организаций.
ICONIC PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE ZHOUKOUDIAN TEAM AND CHINESE-WESTERN INTERACTION SURROUNDING THE PEKING MAN DISCOVERY
Authors: YU XIAOBO
Published: May 2022

The in situ discovery of the first Peking Man skull in December 1929 was a dramatic historical event in geology and paleoanthropology. Two iconic photographs appear widely in books on Peking Man (formerly Sinanthropus pekinensis), and they show a group of Chinese and Western geologists inside a caravansary at Zhoukoudian (Choukoutien) near Beijing. Long-standing issues of inconsistencies, uncertainties and lack of context regarding these photographs are addressed by using clues from published works as well as from photographs in the collection of China’s first vertebrate paleontologist Dr. Yang Zhongjian (1897–1979; C. C. Young). The paper determines the year of the photographs, their connection to other photographs, the identity of a tall man in one of the photographs, and the exact date and occasion of the event. Chinese-Western interaction of the Zhoukoudian team is discussed, and unpublished letters between Yang and Western scientists including Davidson Black (1884–1934) are presented to give a personal touch to the historical context surrounding the Peking Man discovery.
THE FAR SHOALS OF NEPTUNISM: WILLIAM H. KEATING AND THE ST. PETER SANDSTONE IN THE AMERICAN MIDWEST
Authors: BRICK GREG A.
Published: May 2022

William H. Keating (1799–1840) served as mineralogist on Major Stephen H. Long’s 1823 expedition to the source of the St. Peter’s (Minnesota) River, concluding, on the basis of grain shape, that the St. Peter Sandstone, at what was later to be its type section, Fort Snelling, in the state of Minnesota, was a chemical precipitate from seawater. This appears to be an echo of the Neptunist teachings of Abraham Gottlob Werner (1749–1817), as interpreted in the American Midwest. While endorsed by prominent geologist James Hall and others, and given some plausibility by the analogy of siliceous sinter depositing from hot springs in Iceland, the ‘purity’ criterion used by supporters of the theory was found fallacious with further advances in sedimentology such as those by Charles L. Dake and George A. Thiel. The word ‘purity,’ which was industrial-commercial parlance, merged into the concept of ‘maturity’ in the ternary sandstone classifications of the 1940s. Because the St. Peter Sandstone appears so featureless, actors projected their latent biases onto the blank walls of the sandstone outcrops.
STRENGTHENING THE NECK AND SHOULDER GIRDLE MUSCLES IN BASKETBALL PLAYERS AGED 14 – 15 DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Authors: Škutāne Sandra , Galeja Zinta
Published: May 2022

During the COVID – 19 pandemic, opportunities for sport activities are limited and studies take place in front of the computer. Computer and telephones are an essential component of life among the youth aged 14-15, when school studies take place online. The human body tries to adapt to these changes. Over the past few years, a growing number of authors have studied the “text (message) neck syndrome,” which can be considered the new syndrome of the twenty-first century. In studies, the normal angle of the neck is considered to be 52°. At the beginning of our studies, we obtained the following indicators: the average angle of the neck was 56,04°, and the average angle of the shoulder was 49,34°. The disciples have been performing a set of 20 exercises during the study, which lasted for one month. In the repeated tests, we have obtained the following indicators: the average angle of the neck was 53,46°, and the average angle of the shoulder was 45,19°. Albeit the angle indicators are within the normal range, the indicators went down during the distance studies. We also drew the disciples’ attention to the protracted shoulders (PSs). Aim of the study: to develop a set of exercises to strengthen the neck and shoulder girdle for basketball players aged 14 – 15 for improving posture and preventing the “text neck syndrome.”Methods: Analysis of literature sources and scientific studies. Measuring experiment. Photogrammetry. Mathematical statistical analysis.
TVET TEACHER TRAINING IN SOUTH AFRICA: LITERATURE REVIEW
Authors: Zascerinska Jelena
Published: May 2022

In the light of the annually increasing TVET learners’ enrolment numbers,TVET lecturers are central in TVET institutions. However, TVET teachers’ training in South Africa is under-explored.The research aim is to analyse literature on TVET teachers’ training in South Africa underpinning the elaboration of directions of further research. Literature review served as the research method was implemented in November-December 2021. The obtained data were structured in accordance with the previously established criteria. Summarising content analysis was performed. The conclusion is that the research done in the field of TVET lecturers’ training programmes in South Africa is fragmentedly presented to the scientific community. The structuring content analysis allows finding that the research in the field of TVET lecturers’ training programmes does not address TVET lecturers’ digital skills despite their impact on human being everyday life in the light of COVID-19 pandemic. Another finding is the entrepreneurship education is not embedded into TVET lecturers’ training programmes, too. Future work will include the implementation of empirical studies in the field of the analysis of TVET training programmes in South Africa. The novelty of the research is reflected in the directions of further work.
TEACHERS’ SELF-CARE STRATEGIES AND SUPERVISION AS A SELF-CARE ACTIVITY FOR TEACHERS
Authors: Liepina Elina , Martinsone Kristine
Published: May 2022

Covid-19 pandemic has caused unprecedented challenges for teachers and the resources of teachers have been critically exhausted causing fatigue and burn-out. Self-care actualization and practice is one way to strengthen teachers' emotional health and resilience. Self-care is understood as engagement in activities to preserve or improve one’s own health and well-being, in particular during periods of stress. Supervision is one of the activities where teachers can receive professional support, minimize negative emotions and develop stress resilience. The aim of this study was to investigate teachers' self-care strategies and experts’ views on actualization of self-care strategies and supervision as a self-care activity within supervision. The research was executed in two stages - quantitative data analysis and qualitative interviews. In the quantitative part the participants of the research were 245 teachers in Latvia. Self-Care Strategies Questionnaire was used to collect answers and the 14 strategies were measured on a 4-point Likert scale. Self-care strategies were assessed on what is considered important and is attainable. The results showed that there are statistically significant differences between importance and attainability in all 14 self-care strategies. All strategies were assessed higher on importance than the attainability. Experts indicated that supervision should take place during working hours, be publicly funded, regular and carried out as long-term support.
