Comparison as a means of linguistic representation of the image of the country (based on the material of W. Koeppen’s work “Nach Russland und anderswohin”)
Authors: Panevina Irina Grigoryevna
Published: November 2023

The aim of the study is to identify the main functions of comparative constructions involved in linguistic representation of the image of the country in Wolfgang Koeppen’s travel notes “Nach Russland und anderswohin” (“To Russia and Elsewhere”). The paper discusses various approaches to the classification of comparisons that have developed today in linguistics, determines their role in the structure of texts belonging to different styles. The analysis of comparative constructions found in the first chapter of W. Koeppen’s travel notes, which is completely devoted to the description of the author’s journey through Spain, is carried out. The classification of the identified language structures by types is given, their functions significant for the representation of a “foreign” reality are investigated. The study is novel in that it is the first to consider comparison as an important element of the structure of a work related to the genre of travel notes, based on its stylistic potential realized in the process of creating the author’s image of the country. As a result of the study, the predominant types of linguistic constructions with the semantics of comparison found in W. Koeppen’s travel notes have been determined; the analysis of these constructions based on the subject of comparison has been carried out; their role in linguistic representation of the image of Spain in the middle of the XX century has been described, taking into account the author’s individual style.

Published: November 2023

The paper presents a systematic review of mythonymy research in Turkic linguistic folklore studies. The aim of the work is to determine the theoretical and methodological aspects of the traditional culture of mythological representations in Turkic linguistic folklore studies. The paper provides an overview of the existing methodologies for studying mythonyms in Turkology and presents the authors’ vision of scientific research methods. The scientific novelty of the work lies in describing a set of scientific approaches, methods and technologies for studying mythonymy. The results showed that there are two areas in mythonymy research: ethnolinguistic and comparative. As a result, it was proved that Turkic mythonymy has a fairly rich research and source base, which has developed as a consequence of many years of research into the ethno-cultural space of the mythonymic system in Bashkir, Chuvash, Azerbaijani, Tatar linguistic folklore. However, the work showed that Turkic mythonymy seems incomplete without comparative analysis in an interdisciplinary aspect. There are gaps in the study of mythonyms in the aspect of comparison with other Turkic systems, which, in fact, made it necessary to write this paper.

Authors: Guruleva Tatiana Leonidovna , Abdrakhmanova Alina Railevna
Published: November 2023

The aim of the study is to classify the ways of inputting Chinese characters on digital devices. The paper considers the digitalization aspect of Chinese character writing and describes the structural, phonetic and special ways of inputting Chinese characters on phones and computers. The scientific novelty of the study lies in identifying the one-step input units for each input method and establishing the percentage of users choosing different ways of inputting characters on digital devices. As a result, the study found that there are several ways of inputting Chinese characters on digital devices: 1) phonetic methods (input using the pinyin transcription, input using the full pinyin transcription, the double pinyin method, zhuin or bopomofo); 2) structural methods (keyed input, сangjie input, five traits ubi input, four corners input); 3) special methods (handwritten input, voice input), each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The research provides an example of inputting the two-syllable word 汉语 “the Chinese language” on digital devices using different input methods.
Peculiarities of wordplay in modern Samara ergonyms of the “Recreation and entertainment” sphere
Authors: Khokhlova Anna Alekseevna
Published: November 2023

The aim of the study is to shed light on the peculiarities of wordplay in ergonyms of the Samara region belonging to the socio-cultural sphere. The author pays attention to the identification of wordplay techniques at the level of phonetics, lexis, syntax and word formation; analyzes the process of artificial naming, trying to find out whether the sphere of activity affects the choice of wordplay types and techniques. The scientific novelty is associated with the fact that this problem is little studied in terms of identifying wordplay types and techniques taking into account the specifics of the activity of an enterprise or an organization. The analysis of the language material suggests, on the one hand, the high degree of creativity of wordplay in the ergonyms of the “Recreation and entertainment” sphere and, on the other hand, the variety of techniques at different language levels. As a result of the study, four types of wordplay correlated with the language levels, namely, phonetics, lexis, syntax and word formation, were identified. Twenty-two wordplay techniques were noted at the specified language levels: five techniques were attributed to the phonetic type of wordplay, four techniques were found in the lexical type of wordplay, five techniques were attributed to the syntactic type of wordplay and eight techniques were characterized as the word-forming type of wordplay.
Successful cross of Arachis duranensis as female with A. ipaёnsis
Authors: Simpson Charles E.
Published: November 2023

Arachis hypogaea L. originated in South America and has been taken to most of the tropical and sub-tropical parts of the world as a valuable food crop with high protein content and a source of high energy unsaturated oil. The origin of the cultivated peanut, 2n = 4x = 40, has been the subject of many discussions, but the primitive parents have been agreed on by most as A. duranensis being the A genome donor and A. ipaënsis the B donor; both diploids with 2n = 20. Whether the chromosome doubling of this hybrid occurred in a natural setting or in the garden of a hunter-gatherer-cultivator is also a subject of debate, but most likely it occurred innature. Molecular analyses have established that A. duranensis was the female of the cross.Until recently no one had been successful in making and establishing plants of the cross in that direction. However, the reciprocal cross is easily accomplished and has been reported several times. The primary objective of this paper is to report the successful cross and development of hybrid plants, amphidiploids and populations from the hybrid, A. duranensis × A. ipaënsis.

Infusoria from the digestive tract of herbivorous mammals have been known to science for almost a century and a half. However, protozoans remain an understudied group of rumen dwellers in ruminants. In cattle, in a multi-chambered stomach, in addition to microorganisms (fungi and bacteria), there are a large number of protozoa (infusoria), which also participate in the digestive processes that support the vital activity of the body. Endobiontic infusoria take an active part in the digestion of complex carbohydrates, fiber, in the breakdown of indigestible polysaccharides, which are essential sources of energy for animals. In this regard, the study of the species and quantitative composition of the infusoria fauna of cattle bred in the Far North, as one of the factors of sustainable adaptation to extreme conditions, is of great scientific and practical interest.

This article presents the results of a study of endobiontic infusoria of cattle breeds bred in Yakutia. A total of 36 species have been identified and described in 12 genera and 3 families. It was found that the genus Entodinium and the genus Isotricha were the most represented in the Yakut cattle, while the genus Entodinium and Euplodiniumin are in the crossbred and cultivated cattle. The smallest genus in all groups are Polyplastron and Metadinium.

Authors: Gu Yunfei , Shao Yang , Li Songsen , Liu Tong
Published: November 2023

Atrial fibrosis is an independent predictor of the recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) after catheter ablation. Low-voltage areas (LVA) measured during catheter ablation for AF are a commonly used surrogate for the presence of atrial fibrosis. LVA are associated with clinical outcomes and comorbidities and have links to triggering sites for AF. Several trials have shown promising data of targeting ablation in LVA, however the results have been mixed. This article will review the role of LVA in the prediction of adverse events in AF patients, including stroke, how to predict the presence of LVA, and the impact of LVA ablation on the recurrence of AF.

Published: November 2023

This year marks 150th anniversary of the birth of the outstanding Russian cryptogamist, Alexander Alexandrovich Elenkin. He is renowned as the pioneer of the Russian cyanobacterial science school and one of the founding figures in Russian lichenology. A. A. Elenkin has made a titanic work on describing the flora of blue-green algae of the USSR, and created the first domestic identification book of this group. In addition to fundamental scientific research, which has not lost its relevance to this day, Elenkin prepared a pleiad of brilliant students who continued the development of Russian cryptogamic botany. It was through the efforts of A. A. Elenkin that the process of development of individual branches of Russian botanical science — algology, lichenology, bryology, was launched, which spread to many scientific centers of Russia.

The global significant rise in the number of sick individuals and fatalities has made the ongoing struggle against the severe and lethal COVID-19 pandemic a global effort. There are several ongoing therapies for COVID-19, and more are being developed. However, selecting the best therapy option for COVID-19 patients is still needed. Patients may easily choose from the available COVID-19 therapies using the multi-criteria decision-making method. As a result, the present study provides an MCDM method that is created to determine COVID-19 therapies. Probabilistic Hesitant Fuzzy Set numbers, values, and ambiguity are introduced. Theorems and characteristics of PHFS numbers are also investigated in depth. The Complex Proportional Assessment technique is used, based on the PHFS, for dealing with ambiguity issues. This study uses ten criteria and three treatment methods: antibacterial medication and plasma treatment, vaccinations, as well as quarantine and in-house isolation. The study results reveal that quarantine and isolation at home mark the most effective treatment, followed by vaccinations with antibiotics and plasma therapy.

The construction industry is a crucial sector that drives economic growth and facilitates socio-economic development. However, construction projects often get delayed due to multiple controllable and uncontrollable circumstances. In this scenario, the construction industry is striving for potential solutions to resolve project delays. Thus, the present study objectives to analyze the delay factors that affect the timely accomplishment of construction projects in the context of emerging economies. The study adopts a mixed methodology comprising of Delphi, Total Interpretive Structural Modelling (TISM) and Matrice d' Impacts Croises Multiplication Applique a Classement (MICMAC) method to model the identified delay factors. A Delphi analysis was conducted to finalize the most crucial delay factors to the on-time completion of building projects. The causal relationships and expert interpretations for each identified delay factor were then determined using multi-criteria decision analysis, TISM and MICMAC analysis. The study results highlight that lack of knowledge of newer construction methodologies and lack of project monitoring tools and techniques are positioned at the bottom level of model, which suggests that this delay factor influences others. The study results will help managers resolve the issues of project delays by selecting the most suitable approach. The findings from the study suggest adopting advanced technologies for effective communication, use of analytical tools for resource allocation and waste-scrapping approaches for eliminating delays in construction projects.

Combining datasets for Bayesian inference
Authors: Zuckerman Daniel
Published: November 2023

Bayesian inference (BI) has long been used to estimate posterior parameter distributions based on multiple sets of data. Here, we present elementary derivations of two strategies for doing so. The first approach employs the posterior distribution from a BI calculation on one dataset as the prior distribution for a second dataset. The second approach uses importance sampling, augmenting the posterior from one dataset to form a well-targeted sampling function for the second. In both cases, the distribution sampled is shown to be the ``full posterior'' as if BI were performed on the two datasets together, subject to only mild assumptions. Both methods can be applied in sequence to multiple datasets.

Enhanced and effective hydrological monitoring plays a crucial role in understanding water-related processes in a rapidly changing world. This paper explores the challenges and opportunities associated with image-based hydrological monitoring techniques, and highlights the need for innovative approaches and technologies to overcome existing limitations. Image-based hydrological monitoring has shown to significantly enhance data collection, improve analysis and accuracy, and support effective and timely decision-making. The integration of remote and proximal sensing technologies, with the powers of big data analytics, and artificial intelligence are revolutionizing hydrological monitoring practices. By addressing these challenges and harnessing their potential, hydrological monitoring can evolve to meet the growing demands of water resources in order to face climate change and human needs. The present study reviews showcases and good practices of enhanced hydrological monitoring in different applications, reflecting the strengths and limitations of new approaches.
The temporal dynamics of information flow in working memory when executing a mental algorithm: The case of multi-digit arithmetic
Authors: Dotan Dror , Nir Shibolet
Published: November 2023

The importance of working memory (WM) for executing mental algorithms is well-established, but several of the precise ways in which WM operates during mental algorithms are still poorly understood. Here, we show how a simple behavioral method can track, step by step, these WM processes. We used the classical example for a mental algorithm, multi-digit addition, to examine how information is handled in WM during the algorithm execution. Participants added, in their heads, pairs of two-digit numbers with a decade crossing either at the decades (82+74) or at the units (28+47). They used a three-stage algorithm: either [1] add the decades, [2] add the units, [3] merge their sums (20+40; 8+7; 60+15=75); or [1] add the units, [2] add the decades, [3] merge. We measured errors (Experiment 1) or reaction times (Experiment 2) in each stage. Addition (stages 1-2) was harder/slower when the sum of the two digits exceeded 10. Critically, this decade-crossing cost was higher when the crossing occurred in stage 1 than in stage 2. We conclude that the addends of stage 1 were removed from memory once this stage was completed and they were no longer needed, even before the algorithm ended; this reduced the memory load in stage 2, leading to a lower decade-crossing cost. The performance in stage 3 (merge) was faster in decades-then-units calculation than in units-then-decades calculation. We conclude that memory stored the interim results (decade and unit sums) as an ordered pair by default, although their order was irrelevant to the task.
There are a million ways to be a woman and a million ways to be a man: Gender differences across personality nuances and nations
Authors: Hofmann Roxana , Rozgonjuk Dmitri , Soto Christopher J. , Ostendorf Fritz , Mõttus René
Published: November 2023

Gender differences in personality are typically summarised using broad personality domains.To acknowledge greater multidimensionality of personality traits, we studied genderdifferences on different levels of the personality hierarchy. Using data spanning 74 countriesand collected with four different inventories, we compared the multivariate and univariatepredictability of gender from aggregate traits of domains, facets, and unaggregated items. Ourresults suggest that many gender differences are specific to narrow traits and geographicalcontexts. While gender is accurately predictable by aggregating numerous small genderdifferences in multiple traits, predicting individual personality traits from gender is virtuallyimpossible, making many simplistic statements about gender differences inconsistent withdata.

Authors: Blaziene Inga , Karnite Raita , Moskvina Julija
Published: November 2023

This is a comparative country report of Latvia and Lithuania for the project DEFEN-CE: Social Dialogue in Defence of Vulnerable Groups in Post-COVID-19 Labour Markets. DEFEN-CE is a research project funded by the Directorate-General for Employment, the European Commission (Grant number: VS/2021/0196). The project investigates the experience of various stakeholders with the design and implementation of COVID-19-related policies relevant to work and employment in EU Member States (Finland, Sweden, Netherlands, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Czechia, Slovakia, Italy, and Spain) and two candidate countries, Serbia and Turkey. The aim of the project is to identify the role of social dialogue in facilitating policy implementation that addresses the labour market situation of vulnerable groups in the post-COVID-19 labour markets. With this aim in mind, the report seeks to answer three main research questions from a comparative perspective, emphasising similarities and differences between Latvia’s and Lithuania’s pandemic response, industrial relations (with a key focus on social dialogue structures and interactions), policy design, and protection of vulnerable groups. 1.What public policy and social dialogue measures targeting selected vulnerable groups were implemented for employment and social protection during the COVID-19 pandemic between 2020 and 2022? 2.To what extent and how did social dialogue play a role in the implementation of social and employment rights of selected vulnerable groups during the COVID-19 pandemic between 2020 and 2022? 3.What lessons and opportunities does the COVID-19 pandemic yield for strengthening social dialogue in the studied countries?The report mixes analysis and findings based on the construction of country-specific Defence-Databases (one for Latvia and one for Lithuania) and qualitative interviews with national stakeholders. The respective database contains information on almost 60 countries-specific Covid-19 policies that have been gathered from international databases (e.g., Eurofound, Eurostat, and ICTWSS), national and international policy documents and legislation, reports from trade unions and employers’ organisations, and academic literature.The interviews that complement the general information provided from the databases were conducted with representatives from trade unions, employers’ organisations and the government. In total, 10 interviews were done in Latvia, and 10 interviews were done in Lithuania (see Annex 1 and 2). Interview data were analysed based on qualitative content analysis using the DEFEN-CE coding scheme.

Authors: Boonjubun Chaitawat , Singh Garima , van Gerven Minna
Published: November 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented health crisis that has caused far-reaching life consequences. The impact of COVID-19 and the measures that aimed to protect lives have triggered a social and economic crisis across the globe. This crisis calls for social scientists and researchers to study the shortcomings in social and economic preparedness and responses to the pandemic. The Social Dialogue in Defence of Vulnerable Groups in the Post-COVID-19 Labour Markets project (the DEFEN-CE project), funded by the Directorate-General for Employment, the European Commission, aims to examine institutional strategies and power relations in social protection and policymaking and policy implementation to protect labour markets and workers by analysing the governance of vulnerable groups in (post) COVID-19 labour markets as well as to produce research-based knowledge and expertise on the protection of vulnerable groups at the EU level, in the EU Member States and in the candidate countries. This report emphasises the institutional strategies and power relations among social partners and stakeholders at the EU level and highlights key findings from country case studies. The research questions are threefold. 1)What public policy and social dialogue measures targeting the selected vulnerable groups were implemented for employment and social protection during the COVID-19 pandemic 2020–2022? 2)How and to what extent did social dialogue play a role in the implementation of the social and employment rights of selected vulnerable groups in the COVID-19 pandemic between 2020 and 2022? 3)What lessons and opportunities does the COVID-19 pandemic provide for strengthening social dialogue at the EU level?DEFEN-CE employed a mixed-method approach combining both quantitative and qualitative research methods. The data are comprised of datasets, policy documents, scientific literature, existing statistical data, and semi-structured interviews. In this EU-level research, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 11 respondents: representatives from the European Parliament, trade unions, non-governmental organisations, and a European federation organisation representing domestic employers. It is important to note that the research team invited representatives from the European Commission to participate in the interviews but received no reply. (See the list of respondents in the appendices). DEFEN-CE’s EU-level study aimed to contribute to social dialogue research and the theoretical understanding of vulnerability. Relevant concepts and approaches to deepen our understanding of vulnerability are employed as the foundation for identifying ‘vulnerable groups’ in connection to the labour market. Furthermore, the purpose of this study is to identify the lessons learned by pinpointing crucial areas of policy development and implementation and necessary coordination mechanisms among social partners and by showcasing best practices.
Beyond beauty: Ugly and borderline tourism aesthetic experiences
Authors: Nasiri Hakimeh , Kirillova Ksenia , Wassler Philipp
Published: November 2023

Tourism and aesthetic experiences are intertwined. This study explores the essence of negative and borderline aesthetic experiences in the context of tourism. To achieve this, Husserl's descriptive phenomenology and detailed descriptions of aesthetic experiences from 28 first-time tourists in Hong Kong are employed. Findings identify and define two types of borderline aesthetic experiences, namely the "beaugly" and the "ugbeaful," as well as the experience of ugliness itself. Borderline experiences involve intricate interplays of pleasure and displeasure, challenging the traditional notion of aesthetics. Furthermore, the findings demonstrate that ugliness does not necessarily equate to a wholly negative experience. This study thus contributes to the expansion of knowledge regarding aesthetic experiences in tourism and offers valuable insights for destination experience design.
Moralized Attitudes Toward the Unvaccinated During the Pandemic
Authors: Marttila Eetu , Koivula Aki
Published: November 2023

Non-compliance with public health advice became an object of moral condemnation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Studies have shown that media framing may affect the strength of moral attitudes and emotional responses. However, the process of attitude moralization by framing and the role emotions have in this process are inadequately understood. In this study, we examine media frames’ impact on emotional reactions to and moral attitudes toward unvaccinated individuals. We conducted a survey experiment (N = 482) where participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups. We presented each group a news story about COVID-19 vaccines with one of the following frames: neutral (control group), episodic, and thematic. After framing, we measured respondents’ emotions regarding and moral attitudes toward the unvaccinated. We found that compared to the control group, the episodic frame reduced negative emotions and increased positive emotions toward the unvaccinated. Also, the episodic frame mitigated the strength of moral attitudes toward the unvaccinated. The thematic frame had no statistically significant effect on emotions or moral attitudes compared to the control group. The mediation analysis confirmed that negative and positive emotions mediated the difference in moral attitudes toward the unvaccinated.

Authors: Jha Runa , Jha Priya , Chaudhary Lok Bandhu , Shrestha Lilee
Published: November 2023

Introduction: Respiratory syncytial viruses also known as human Respiratory syncytial viruses (HRSV) are highly transmissible respiratory pathogens & the leading cause of hospitalization due to lower respiratory infection, especially in the pediatric population. This study is intended to determine the RSV positivity in SARS-CoV-2 negative samples obtained from patients ≤ 2 years, collected from September 2021 to December 2021, when RSV infection is more common.

Method: SARS-CoV-2 negative archived nasopharyngeal samples of children ≤2 years from September 2021 to December at National Public Health Laboratory were tested for RSV by real-time reverse transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) using CDC RSV Kit. The Pan -RSV primer/probe set used for the universal detection of RSV and duplex RSV subgroup primer/probe set used for the detection and subgroup-specific identification of RSV A and B.

Result: A total of 294 SARS- CoV-2 negative samples from children less than 2 years were tested. RSV A was identified in 100/294 (34%) and RSV B was detected in 6/294 (2%) samples. In all, 106/294 (36%) samples were positive for RSV. Here we report RSV positivity rate of 36% in SARS-CoV-2 negative samples which were left undiagnosed during the surge of COVID-19 cases.

Conclusion: Our study thereby highlights the need for an accurate and rapid differential or multiplex kits for screening respiratory disease for the effective disease management in the pediatric population.

Published: November 2023

Introduction: Coronary artery disease (CAD), is the leading cause of death globally. Among different diagnostic and treatment procedures, coronary angiography is considered the gold standard. Birat Medical College Teaching Hospital (BMCTH) is also providing cardiovascular services to people from eastern Nepal and from the neighboring country India. We aim to analyze the pattern of coronary artery occlusion in patients undergoing coronary angiography. 
Method: A hospital based observational cross-sectional study was conducted at BMCTH from 10 Sep 2022 to 10 Jan 2023. A total of 220 patients were enrolled by consecutive sampling techniques. Ethical approval was obtained from the Institutional Review Committee of BMCTH.  Data was collected on baseline characteristics, risk factors, clinical presentation and degree of coronary artery occlusion. Collected data was entered in Microsoft Excel and analyzed by Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 23. Frequency, mean, percentage were calculated.
Result: Nearly half (49.1%) patients had significant, 6(2.7%) had intermittent CAD and 14(6.4%) had non critical CAD. Three patients (1.4%) had left main coronary artery disease. Left anterior descending artery 66(30%) was the most commonly involved. Single vessel disease was present in most patients 49(22.27%).  Double vessel disease 15(46.8%) and triple vessel disease was more common 14(51.8%) in above 65 y of age.
Conclusion: The coronary angiography revealed presence of significant coronary artery disease and multiple vessel involvement with increasing age.
