Between Invisibility, ‘Discursive Whitening’ and Hypersexualization: ‘Controlling Images’ Over the Term Black and Its Place in Enunciation
Authors: Reis Narjara Oliveira
Published: May 2022

ABSTRACT Based on the statements that (1) the word in interaction manifests itself as an ideological sign, oriented to a precise social audience, circumscribed in a given historical time; (2) that race is a language and (3) that geographic displacement involves a clash between different systems of meaning, I interpret data from the cultural translation process for the term black [negro, in Portuguese], based on the enunciations of two Portuguese language learners in a course for immigrant mothers held in Southern Brazil. The data presented were generated as part of an ongoing ethnographic investigation.1 The discussion points to controlling images that persist in the social imaginary from effacement procedures, discursive whitening and hypersexualization of the term negro [black]. Data also reveals that the processes of attributing meanings around race are in full dispute in the current socio-historical context.
Corpus and Object from a Dialogical Perspective: An Analysis in Bakhtin’s Works
Authors: Queijo Maria Elizabeth da Silva
Published: May 2022

ABSTRACT Through the analysis of the studies developed by Mikhail Bakhtin regarding the work of Fyodor Dostoevsky and François Rabelais, this article aims to discuss the boundaries and the relationship between corpus and object. Therefore, we compared two Brazilian editions of Bakhtinian works, with the research on the French author and popular comic culture, with a set of texts involving the Russian original, frame-texts, translations, and other correlated utterances. The reflection is based on a dialogical perspective, particularly on the notion of alterity. The results show that, although corpus and object are a priori amalgamated, it is the essential relationship of the author-researcher with this corpus that gradually detached the object.
Reconhecendo a índole dialógica da paisagem: por uma semiótica marxista
Authors: Soeiro Ítalo César de Moura , Carneiro Ana Rita Sá , Rodrigues Siane Gois Cavalcanti
Published: May 2022

RESUMO O artigo objetiva defender a índole dialógica da paisagem. Trabalhando na fronteira entre a filosofia bakhtiniana da linguagem e os estudos culturais da paisagem, defendemos que a paisagem não seja estudada sem considerar as formas culturais de comunicação nos diferentes domínios da organização social – os gêneros discursivos; que toda paisagem é encontro semiótico com uma alteridade concreta; que o intérprete que emerge quando uma área entra em relação de representação é necessariamente caracterizado por um cronotopo; que toda paisagem é representação cronotópica; que a geografia cultural reconheça que os aspectos semióticos da paisagem são tão materiais quanto sua morfologia. Partimos da hipótese de que a paisagem é uma representação cronotópica que sempre se realiza através de algum gênero discursivo, pois sempre é um processo comunicativo e de encontro com o outro em uma situação de inter-relação socialmente organizada – é diálogo concreto. Para adentrar à profundeza de seus sentidos, precisa-se reconhecer e compreender sua índole material, histórica, geográfica e dialógica.

RESUMO Por meio da análise dos estudos desenvolvidos por Mikhail Bakhtin a propósito da obra de Fiódor Dostoiévski e François Rabelais, este artigo visa discutir as fronteiras e a relação entre corpus e objeto. Para tanto, observamos comparativamente duas edições brasileiras das obras bakhtinianas, sendo a pesquisa a respeito do autor francês e da cultura cômica popular cotejada com um conjunto de textos envolvendo o original em russo, textos-moldura, traduções e outros enunciados correlacionados. A reflexão apoia-se em uma perspectiva dialógica, sobretudo na noção de alteridade. Os resultados revelam que, ainda que corpus e objeto se apresentem a priori amalgamados, é a imprescindível relação do autor-pesquisador com esse corpus que vai, gradualmente, destacando o objeto.
The influence of copper substrate temperature on the wettability of graphene coating
Authors: Misyura Sergey Y , Andryushchenko Vladimir A , Morozov Vladimir S
Published: May 2022

The influence of the parameters of a copper substrate on wettability at different temperatures was studied experimentally and theoretically. It is known that water condensation on graphene leads to a change in the electrical properties and affects graphene sensor sensitivity. To date, there are no data on the effect of temperature on the surface properties of graphene synthesized on copper. It is shown for the first time that a change in the (111), (110) and (100) crystal orientations of copper leads to different structuring of water on copper and on the graphene layer. An increase in temperature alters the density of water distribution and the pattern of water structuring. The analysis of the influence of grain boundaries on graphene synthesis is given. A change in the size of defects is shown to alter the qualitative nature of roughness for copper and graphene. Various methods of roughness processing allow explanation of the inconsistency of existing works comparing the roughness of the metal and graphene coating. The roughness measurement serves to prove the authors’ previously proposed hypothesis about the local stratification of graphene and copper due to large surface defects. The results obtained are important for the development of graphene-based sensor technologies.
Thermal operation of superlayer space in Romelt furnace
Authors: Sborshchikov G. S. , Petelin A. L. , Terekhova A. Yu.
Published: May 2022

From the point of metallurgical heat engineering, the Romelt process is promising for processing industrial waste, poor ores and secondary metals without their preliminary preparation and the use of coke. But one of the main disadvantages of this process is high specific consumption of oxygen and fuel for the production of 1 ton of primary metal. The peculiarity of the Romelt process is that the main amount of heat required for implementation of the technological process is supplied to the bubbling layer from the superlayer space due to afterburning of the exhaust gases with technical oxygen. Heat transfer is carried out by a radiation-convective mechanism. Any changes in the afterburning process are possible, if they do not entail an unacceptable change in temperature in combustion zone. In the work, a study was conducted to reduce the specific oxygen consumption per  1  ton of primary metal, based on the data of melting a mixture of blast furnace and converter slurries for pig iron. The authors studied the possibility of reducing the specific oxygen consumption supplied to the superlayer space of the furnace for afterburning gases leaving the bubbling layer during the Romelt process. When using blast heating supplied to the lower tuyeres and oxygen heating supplied to the afterburning zone, it is possible to reduce the specific oxygen consumption per 1 ton of cast iron by 11 % without reducing the furnace performance. In the afterburning zone, it is recommended to use oxygen heated up to 400 °C in the recuperator with simultaneous supply of a blast heated up to 600 °C to the lower tuyeres.
Effect of high-current pulsed electron beam treatment on defect substructure of the high-entropy alloy of Co – Cr – Fe – Mn – Ni system
Authors: Osintsev K. A. , Gromov V. E. , Vorob’ev S. V. , Ivanov Yu. F. , Panchenko I. A.
Published: May 2022

High-current pulsed electron beam surface treatment is a method of materials modifying, which improves the mechanical properties of metal materials. Due to high-speed heating, evaporation, recrystallization, as well as plastic deformation, dislocations with high density are formed in the surface and, as a result, an increase in indicators of various physical and mechanical properties, such as hardness, wear resistance, etc., is observed. Since currently high-entropy alloys are a relatively new class of materials, the effect of pulsed electron beam treatment on the dislocation substructure has not yet been established. In this work, a non-equiatomic high–entropy alloy of the Co – Cr – Fe – Mn – Ni system, made using a wire-arc additive manufacturing, was subjected to surface treatment using a high-current pulsed electron beam with an energy density of 30 J/cm2. By the method of studying thin foils using transmission electron microscopy, it was found that the treatment does not affect the chemical composition of the alloy, but leads to serious changes in the dislocation substructure. A nonmonotonic change in the scalar density of dislocations was revealed, reaching a  maximum value of 5.5·1010 cm–2 at a distance of 25 µm from the irradiation surface. It is shown that an undirected cellular dislocation substructure with cell sizes from 400 nm to 600 nm is formed at this distance from the surface. With further distance from the surface at a distance of up to 45 µm, the dislocation substructure changes from cellular to cellular-mesh. At a distance of 120 – 130 µm, the effect of a high-current pulsed electron beam is not observed – the substructure corresponds to the substructure of the initial alloy with a chaotic distribution of dislocations.

Published: May 2022

Based on the state diagrams of two–component silicate systems SrO – SiO2 , BaO – SiO2 , CaO – SiO2 , the authors have determined the activity of components in invariant (eutectic and monotectic) points of the systems under consideration. Crystallization processes at invariant eutectic points l1 and l2 are considered as chemical reactions le1 (KSiO2 (l) + lMeO(l)) → CSiO2 (sol) + α(MeO·SiO2 )(sol), le2 (mSiO2 (l) + nMeO(l)) → (MeO·SiO2 )(sol) + b(2MeO·SiO2 )(sol), for which the values ΔG°T and the equilibrium constants were established. The values of aMeO in the slags were determined at given temperatures and known values of the component activities in metal melts in equilibrium with slag. In homogeneous slag melts, the activity of alkaline-earth metal (AEM) oxides was defined from the constants of equilibrium reactions of reduction of these metals from slags by silicon of iron-silicon metal melts. In the zone of homogeneous slag melts, the dependences aSiO2 = f (x(SiO2 )) were constructed at temperatures of 1600 and 1700 °C, and when using data on the activities of AEM (Sr, Ba, Ca) in metallic high-silicon melts, the dependences lga(SrO) = f (x(SiO2 ) , x(Si)) at 1493 °C and lga(BaO) = f (x(SiO2 ) , x(Si)) at 1450 °C were determined. On a three-parameter diagram in coordinates a[Si] – a(SiO2 ) – a(MeO) (for AEM), the dependencies a(SrO) = f (a[Si] , a(SiO2 ) ) at 1493 °C and a(BaO) = f (a[Si] , a(SiO2 ) ) at 1450 °C were constructed. It is shown that low equilibrium values of a(SrO) and a(BaO) , lga(SrO) = f (a(SiO2 ) , a[Si] ) ≤ (–4) and lga(BaO) = f (a(SiO2 ) , a[Si] ) ≤ (–3), can be achieved at equilibrium values of silicon activity in metal melts a[Si] > 0,5 during strontium reduction and a[Si] > 0,7 during barium reduction.

Objective: to evaluate clinical outcomes in patients with prostate cancer treated with high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy (BT) as monotherapy.

Materials and methods. From January 2015 to December 2017, 97 men with localized prostate cancer underwent HDR-BT as monotherapy, with a temporary implant on a MicroSelectron HDR device. The dose prescription was: 30 Gy in 2 fractions with an interval of 2 weeks. The overall and biochemical survival rate was assessed. The assessment of genitourinary and gastrointestinal toxicity was also carried out. The quality of life associated with urination before treatment and in dynamics during 5 years of observation, as well as the frequency and degree of development of erectile dysfunctionand its dynamics during the entire observation period were analyzed.

Results. The median age was 65.2 (44 to 80) years. Overall, 29 patients had low risk prostate cancer, 63 patients had moderate risk, and 5 patients – high risk. The follow-up period was five years (range, 18 to 72 months). The median follow-up was 54.3 (95 % confidence interval 52.3–59) months. Overall survival and survival without biochemical recurrence were 96 and 99 %, respectively. Toxicity was assessed according to the RTOG/EORTC (Radiation Therapy Oncology Group/European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer) scale for each event. Late genitourinary toxic reactions of grade 1 and 2 were noted in 23.9 and 6.3 %, respectively. Late gastrointestinal grade 2 toxicity was not observed. Genitourinary and gastrointestinal toxic reactions of grade 3 were not observed. The quality of life associated with urination after treatment was comparable to the level of quality of life at the time of inclusion of patients in the treatment protocol. Erectile dysfunction developed to a greater extentin the first 1–2 years after HDR-BT with a subsequenttendency to recovery.

Conclusion. HDR-BT as monotherapy is a safe and highly effective treatment for localized prostate cancer. The fractionation mode in the form of 30 Gy for 2 fractions of 15 Gy with an interval of 2 weeks with or without dose modulation in the area of the tumor focus using a gel has a low toxicity profile from the side of critical organs.

Background. Prostate cancer is one of the actual problems of modern oncology. The incidence of prostate cancer is steadily increasing despite of popularization of screening and early diagnostics. It is worth to highlight separately the castration-resistant prostate cancer which develops on the average 2 years after surgical or medicinal castration. For the patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) the main purpose of treatment is increasing of overall survival while maintaining the quality of life. Currently there are several treatment options for mCRPC: chemotherapy, inhibitors of androgen receptor pathway,systemic alfa-radiotherapy, PARP-inhibitorsfor homologousrecombination DNA repair deficiency. Using of several sequential lines of mCRPC therapy leads to maintaining the patients’ quality of life and increasing its duration. Systemic alfa-radiotherapy is using since 2013 – the first is radium-223 which was approved by Food and Drug Administration according the results of the phase III trial ALSYMPCA. In Russian Federation radium-223 was approved in 2016.

Objective: to evaluate the efficiency and safety oftherapy with radium-223 as well as pain response at patients with mCRPC.

Materials and methods. 67 patients were included in this analysis who received radium-223 therapy at Scientific Research Institute of Tomsk National Research Medical Center of Russian Academy of Sciences and Tomsk Regional Oncology Dispensary.

Results and conclusion. Radium-223 has demonstrated its efficiency for mCRPC patients with good safety profile and positive pain response and maintaining the QoL.

The increase in the scale of economic activity in the process of expanded reproduction and development, the intensive use of factors of production lead to an exacerbation of not only socio-economic contradictions but also sharply raise the question of the need to solve the qualitative problems of economic growth. In order to form modern thinking as a prerequisite for the formation of a “road map” to ensure sustainable development, the authors revealed the nature of such a phenomenon today as the culture of labor. Which in the future allows to produce both new opportunities and new constraints and challenges in the field of social and labor development. The culture of work affects the general and individual economic behavior, for example, the propensity to entrepreneurship and willingness to delegate authority to subordinates. Trusting people are more likely to become entrepreneurs. At the same time, a high level of interpersonal trust increases their chances of being deceived, and a low level threatens to lose profits. Trusting business leaders give creative freedom to subordinates by delegating authority to them, while low-trust managers, on the other hand, try to keep power in their hands. As a result, there will be contradictions between formal, quantitative, and substantive indicators, spiritual motives and values, the inequality of the dominant parameters of the culture of labor in different sectors of the economy. That is why the study of the impact of cross-cultural aspects in management processes is becoming increasingly important. The article is devoted to the study of the system of influence of personal aspects of human development related to ethnicity, national culture, customs, traditions, etc., on behavior in a homogeneous environment. The mechanisms of formation of cross-cultural interaction of all participants of the management process are highlighted and the role of individual human characteristics in the process of economic activity is revealed. The necessity of introduction of measures of formation of successful organizational culture in the activity of subjects of managing is characterized.

The logistics activity took shape many years ago, but lately, the digital impact has radically overhauled the traditional endeavor and led it on a new path. Accordingly, this study analyzes the digital logistics ecosystem, in terms of being sustainable or unsustainable, through the help of a quantitative method of research – a questionnaire. Logistics deals with the planning and control of material and information flow in public and private organizations. The fundamental role of logistics is to provide the necessary materials at the appropriate location and at a convenient time for satisfying a certain set of demands and aiming for optimizing a particular performance indicator. In a globalized economy, the costs generated by logistics will be increasingly important for environmental protection. Access to markets, workplaces, education, and all other services depends on one essential criteria: the existence of a functional transport system. Hence, logistics is seen as a tool that brings together time and space with the purpose of transferring goods. Specifically, the performance is a decisive element for the excellent functioning of the logistics sector.

Objective. To study the impact of augmentation mammoplasty on some aspects of body image-related quality of life, motivation and self-esteem.

Materials and methods. Seventeen women were surveyed 6-14 months after augmentation mammoplasty using the BIQLI and ASI-R questionnaires.

Results. The aspects of body image-related quality of life associated with physical activity and desire to change one's appearance were higher in younger people with lower body weight. The volume of installed breast implants was inversely proportional to the feeling of confidence and happiness in everyday life (R = 0.6). The larger was the volume of implants, the less was the responsibility for life events (R = 0.8). In the long-term period after mammoplasty, a subjective level of the quality of life increased in 53 %, on average by 0.2 (p0.05), significantly only for the motivation scale and the question "feelings of personal dignity and self-respect". Negative dynamics was found for the following aspects: "When I meet new people", "At work (study)" and "Relationships with friends", for all other answers positive one. The older the patients were, the more attention they paid to their appearance (R = 0.7) and compared themselves with the others (R = 0.6), thought about what the others think about their appearance (R = 0,6), more often thought about how they look like in different situations (R = 0.6).

Conclusions. Preoperative studying of motivation allows more differentially determining the indications for surgery and risk of postoperative dissatisfaction. Augmentation mammoplasty often improves the body image-related quality of life, motivation and self-esteem.

Objective. To study the relationship of polymorphism of the genes of aldosterone synthetase CYP11B2 (C-344T), adrenergic receptor type 1 ADRB1 (Gly389Arg) and type 2 ADRB2 (Arg16Gly) with the risk of obesity.

Materials and methods. The study involved 170 patients; the mean age was 45.4 7.3 years. The patients were divided into 2 groups: group 1 obese patients with metabolic disorders in combination with 1-2 degree hypertension complicated obesity (n = 90); group 2 50 participants with obesity without metabolic disorders (metabolically healthy obesity). The control group consisted of 100 healthy respondents. All the surveyed persons underwent anthropometry and general clinical studies according to the recommendation for examination of patients with obesity and arterial hypertension. Total DNA was isolated from venous whole blood samples by RT-PCR using the DNA-Sorb-B kit.

Results. It was found that in the group of complicated obesity, the carriage of the TT genotype of the CYP11B2 gene polymorphism (C-344T) and the CG genotype of the Gly389Arg polymorphism of the ADRB1 gene prevailed in comparison with the group of metabolically healthy obesity and healthy respondents. The predominance of carriage of the GG genotype of the ADRB2 gene polymorphism (Arg16Gly) was revealed in the groups of metabolically healthy obesity and complicated obesity in comparison with the healthy group. An association of the polymorphic position of the ADRB1 (Gly389Arg) and ADRB2 (Arg16Gly) genes with the level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, the level of systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure, and the level of uric acid was established. The relationship between the polymorphism of the CYP11B2 (C-344T) promoter region and the level of glomerular filtration rate and total cholesterol was determined.

Conclusions. Analysis of ADRB1 (Gly389Arg), ADRB2 (Arg16Gly), and CYP11B2 (C-344T) gene polymorphism variants can be used as an additional marker to assess the risk of developing obesity, arterial hypertension, and metabolic disorders.

Authors: Gavriluk Vasily P. , Kostin Stanislav V. , Severinov Dmitry A. , Mashoshina Lada O.
Published: May 2022

BACKGROUND: Currently, the number of childhood patients with chest injuries is increasing about 12% of peacetime injuries. This is primarily due to non-compliance with various safety measures and increased traffic accidents.
CLINICAL CASE: This article presents a rare clinical observation of a 9-year-old male with a sternal fracture with displacement of fragments. The presented clinical observation draws attention to the treatment option open reposition of fragments with their further fixation with lavsan threads.
DISCUSSION: In cases of treating sternal fractures with fragment displacement, various versions of osteosynthesis can be used: external fixation (with a plate and screws), intraosseous (spoke osteosynthesis), transosseous (application of a serclay or lavsan suture), off-collar (external fixing devices, original authors designs). The described method is easy to execute and accessible to almost every surgical or trauma hospital providing care to children.
CONCLUSIONS: One option for osteosynthesis in isolated sternal fractures in children between 10 and 12 years old is the application of lavsan sutures in the open reposition of fragments. An important advantage of this technique is the absence of the need to remove fixing structures, which is accompanied by tissue injuries and increased patient hospital stays, reducing the quality of life. In addition, the described method has low trauma and noteworthy cosmetic results.

Published: May 2022

BACKGROUND: Multiplanar deformities of the proximal femur in children are often accompanied by a high position of the greater trochanter, causing disturbances in the biomechanics of the hip joint and extra-articular impingement syndrome. Progressive anatomical and biomechanical changes in multiplanar deformities of the proximal femur also lead to changes in the system hip joints, the pelvis, and the lumbosacral spine that mutually burden each other. Currently, the domestic literature has isolated publications on assessing the state of sagittal vertebral-pelvic ratios in children with this pathology.
AIM: This study assesses the radiological parameters of sagittal balance in children with multiplanar deformities of the proximal femur with a high position of the greater trochanter. It reveals the relationship between the deformity severity of the proximal femur and spinal and pelvic parameter changes in children.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The x-ray data of examination of 25 children (25 affected joints) aged from 9 to 15 years with deformities of the proximal femur with a high position of the greater trochanter, in which its apex is located at or above the upper pole of the femoral head, were analyzed. The parameters characterizing the ratio of the femoral head to the greater trochanter in the frontal plane and indicators of the sagittal balance according to lateral skeleton radiographs were evaluated. The obtained data were subjected to statistical processing.
RESULTS: Children with multiplanar deformities of the proximal femur with a high position of the greater trochanter are characterized by a pronounced increase in global lumbar lordosis, excessive pelvic anteversion, and the pelvic tilt toward the affected limb. A direct relationship was found between the severity of the proximal femur disorders and the degree of change in the sagittal spinal-pelvic ratio indices.
CONCLUSIONS: The combination and progression of anatomical changes in the hip joints in children with a high position of the greater trochanter cause pathological compensatory changes in the lumbosacral spine with degenerative dystrophic processes development.

BACKGROUND: The absence of active forearm flexion in children with amyoplasia leads to severe functional disorders. Muscle transfer can potentially restore active elbow flexion and the patients daily living.
AIM: This study compares the results of the transposition of the latissimus dorsi and pectoralis major to the biceps brachii and identifies the optimal donor area for restoring active elbow flexion in children with amyoplasia.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The retrospective study involved 61 patients with amyoplasia (30 (49%) girls and 31 (51%) boys) who were examined and treated from 2011 to 2020. Restoration of elbow flexion was performed in 90 cases. In 46 cases (51.1%), we used the pectoralis major, and in 44 (48.9%), the latissimus dorsi as donor muscles. In both groups, we performed monopolar muscle transfers. The clinical examination of the patients was conducted before and after the operation. Statistical data processing was performed using Statistica 10 and SAS JMP 11.
RESULTS: The age of patients at the time of surgery was from 1.5 to 15.5 years (6.24 4.24 years), the follow-up period after surgery was from 6 to 99 months (41.25 30.19 months). After surgery, all patients had elbow flexion contractures. However, when the latissimus dorsi was used as a donor muscle, the degree of contracture was less than after pectoralis major transfer (15.19 13.04 and 23.24 15.37, respectively, p = 0.0483). In addition, after the latissimus dorsi transfer, the strength of the forearm flexors was on average 1 point greater than after the pectoralis major transfer (2.85 1.08 and 4.00 0.62 points, respectively, p 0.0001). After the latissimus dorsi transfer, the active elbow amplitude flexion was bigger than that of the pectoralis major transfer (75.37 17.86 and 55.88 24.60, respectively, p = 0.0022).
CONCLUSIONS: The study demonstrated the effectiveness of using the latissimus dorsi and the pectoralis major to restore elbow flexion in children with amyoplasia. However, if it is possible to choose a donor muscle, it should be the latissimus dorsi.

Background: Objectives were to identify the factors influencing the timeliness of measles immunisation in India, as well as to explore whether parental behaviour in health care seeking facilities varies depending on the gender of child.Methods: A cross-sectional study was undertaken in India using secondary data from the fourth phase of the district level household and facility survey (DLHS 4). To estimate the age-specific coverage rates scientifically and thoroughly Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was applied. The risk factors for delayed measles immunisation were identified by using cox proportional hazard regression model.Results: Individual factors, social factors, awareness, and facilitatory factors all have a significant impact on the timeliness of measles immunisation in India. Additionally, it can also be concluded that in the case of a male child, institutional delivery significantly improves health-seeking behaviour among the parents compared to a female child. Conclusions: Numerous elements like the place of residence, economic position, and caste limit the timeliness of measles immunisation in India. Parents' health-seeking behaviour is also significant in the list of influential factors, like mother’s antenatal visit during pregnancy, the child's place of delivery, and motivation for child immunisation. In India child's gender and birth order discovered to have an impact on measles immunisation timeliness. Furthermore, we discovered that parents' health-seeking behaviour is not gender-neutral, but rather favours male child more.

Discussion of the knowledge that is created through human cognitive efforts in different periods of history proceeds has a varying intensity. In the second half of the twentieth century, when it was announced that mankind had entered the age of knowledge society, reflection on its condition requires special attention. In order to meet this challenge, the article seeks to answer two basic questions: a) What knowledge currently enjoys the greatest social recognition? b) What are the parameters of such knowledge that put it in a dominant position among other forms? When attempting to answer these questions, the author does not try to idealize the intellectual product considered to be the most valuable, but also points to its weaker sides, confronting the facts with the expectations placed upon it.
