Implicit water model within the Zimm-Bragg approach to analyze experimental data for heat and cold denaturation of proteins
Authors: Badasyan Artem , Tonoyan Shushanik , Valant Matjaz , Grdadolnik Joze
Published: May 2021

Studies of biopolymer conformations essentially rely on theoretical models that are routinely used to process and analyze experimental data. While modern experiments allow study of single molecules in vivo, corresponding theories date back to the early 1950s and require an essential update to include the recent significant progress in the description of water. The Hamiltonian formulation of the Zimm-Bragg model we propose includes a simplified, yet explicit model of water-polypeptide interactions that transforms into the equivalent implicit description after performing the summation of solvent degrees of freedom in the partition function. Here we show that our model fits very well to the circular dichroism experimental data for both heat and cold denaturation and provides the energies of inter- and intra-molecular H-bonds, unavailable with other processing methods. The revealed delicate balance between these energies determines the conditions for the existence of cold denaturation and thus clarifies its absence in some proteins.
Reciprocating propagation of laser pulse intensity in free space
Authors: Li Zhaoyang , Gu Yanjun , Kawanaka Junji
Published: May 2021

Constant-speed straight-line propagation in free space is a basic characteristic of light, and spatiotemporal couplings recently were used to control light propagation. In the method of flying focus, where temporal chirp and longitudinal chromatism were combined, tunable-velocities and even backward-propagation were demonstrated. We studied the transverse and longitudinal effects of the flying focus in space-time and found in a specific physics interval existing an unusual reciprocating propagation that was quite different from the previous result. By increasing the Rayleigh length in space and the temporal chirp in time, the created flying focus can propagate along a longitudinal axis firstly forward, secondly backward, and lastly forward again, and the longitudinal spatial resolution improves with increasing the temporal chirp. When this light is applied in a radiation pressure simulation, a reciprocating radiation-force can be produced accordingly. This finding extends the control of light and might enable important potential applications.

MicroRNA-222 alleviates radiation-induced apoptosis by targeting BCL2L11 in cochlea hair cells
Authors: Zhang Yan-yan , Xiong Gao-yun , Xie Xiao-xing
Published: May 2021

Radiation-induced hair cell injury is detrimental for human health but the underlying mechanism is not clear. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have critical roles in various types of cellular biological processes. The present study investigated the role of miR-222 in the regulation of ionizing radiation (IR)-induced cell injury in auditory cells and its underlying mechanism. Real-time PCR was performed to identify the expression profile of miR-222 in the cochlea hair cell line HEI-OC1 after IR exposure. miRNA mimics or inhibitor-mediated up- or down-regulation of indicated miRNA was applied to characterize the biological effects of miR-222 using MTT, apoptosis and DNA damage assay. Bioinformatics analyses and luciferase reporter assays were applied to identify an miRNA target gene. Our study confirmed that IR treatment significantly suppressed miR-222 levels in a dose-dependent manner. Up-regulation of miR-222 enhances cell viability and alleviated IR-induced apoptosis and DNA damage in HEI-OC1 cells. In addition, BCL-2-like protein 11 (BCL2L11) was validated as a direct target of miR-222. Overexpression of BCL2L11 abolished the protective effects of miR-222 in IR-treated HEI-OC1 cells. Moreover, miR-222 alleviated IR-induced apoptosis and DNA damage by directly targeting BCL2L11. The present study demonstrates that miR-222 exhibits protective effects against irradiation-induced cell injury by directly targeting BCL2L11 in cochlear cells.
Further Evaluation and Application of the Wisconsin Age-Related Hearing Impairment Classification System
Authors: Humes Larry E.
Published: May 2021

Purpose

The primary purpose of this report is to further evaluate the Wisconsin Age-Related Hearing Impairment Classification System (WARHICS) scheme for the classification of audiograms obtained from older adults, ages 50–89 years.

Method

This was a retrospective analysis of data from 11,729 older adults included in two population, one community, and two clinical data sets. To aid in the interpretation of the audiogram classifications, the functional significance of audiogram categories was evaluated using Hearing Handicap Inventory–Screen scores available for 10,330 of these same individuals.

Results

A WARHICS level could be obtained successfully for 99.5% of the 11,729 audiograms included in these analyses. It was applied successfully to population, community, and clinical samples. WARHICS Level 8 audiograms, corresponding to a broad profound hearing impairment (pure-tone thresholds from 500 to 8000 Hz, all > 80 dB HL), were very rare (.1% prevalence). WARHICS subtypes, designed to identify those with high-frequency notched audiograms or flat audiograms, occurred only 3%–6% of the time, depending on the data set. When compared to the current hearing-impairment grading system of the World Health Organization (WHO), several WARHICS levels fell within a given WHO hearing-impairment grade suggesting a finer grained categorization by the WARHICS. The Hearing Handicap Inventory–Screen scores provided justification for the fine-grained categorization according to the WARHICS. It is also demonstrated that the WARHICS levels could be extended to the classification of audiograms from all adults, regardless of age. Finally, a WARHICS-WHO hybrid classification scheme is proposed for future evaluation.

Conclusions

Although the WARHICS was developed from a population data set, it was demonstrated here to be applicable to population, community, and clinical data sets for adults aged 50–89 years. The applicability of the WARHICS or a WARHICS-WHO hybrid to population data sets that included younger adults suggests that this classification system has the potential to be applied even more broadly than just to age-related hearing loss.
The Effects of Telepractice to Support Family Members in Modeling a Speech-Generating Device in the Home
Authors: Douglas Sarah N. , Biggs Elizabeth E. , Meadan Hedda , Bagawan Atikah
Published: May 2021

Purpose

Family members are an integral support for children with complex communication needs (CCN). However, there is limited research exploring “whole family” intervention to support children with CCN, including evidence-based approaches such as aided language modeling and innovative delivery options such as telepractice. The purpose of this study was to explore whether the use of telepractice-based training and coaching is a valid means of delivering intervention to the whole family unit to implement aided language modeling.

Method

A 4-year-old child with CCN who uses a speech-generating device and her four family members participated in the study. A single-case multiple-probe design across the four dyads was used to determine the effect of the memory aid, namely,
Prepare, Show, Wait, and Respond,
via telepractice intervention to teach family members to provide aided language modeling with fidelity during natural routines.

Results

We found that telepractice-based training and coaching increased family members' high-fidelity models and rate of modeling. The target child also showed an increase in independent communication and rate of augmentative and alternative communication use. Social validity interviews indicated that the participants found the intervention to be socially valid.

Conclusions

Given the findings of this study, speech-language pathologists should encourage the involvement of the whole family in augmentative and alternative communication interventions. Future research should examine the impact of training and coaching all family members together in their natural environment, explore specific adaptations for participants, and investigate the effects of intervention delivered by speech-language pathologists who work directly with families and utilize family-centered practices.
Nucleosynthesis constraints through γ-ray line measurements from classical novae
Authors: Siegert Thomas , Ghosh Sohan , Mathur Kalp , Spraggon Ethan , Yeddanapudi Akshay
Published: May 2021

Context. Classical novae belong to the most frequent transient events in the Milky Way and are key agents of ongoing nucleosynthesis. Despite their large numbers, they have never been observed in soft γ-ray emission. Measurements of their γ-ray signatures would provide insights into explosion mechanism and nucleosynthesis products.

Aims. Our goal is to constrain the ejecta masses of 7Be and 22Na from classical novae through their γ-ray line emissions at 478 and 1275 keV.

Methods. We extracted posterior distributions on the line fluxes from archival data of the INTEGRAL/SPI spectrometer telescope. We then used a Bayesian hierarchical model to link individual objects and diffuse emission, and to infer ejecta masses from the whole population of classical novae in the Galaxy.

Results. Individual novae are too dim to be detectable in soft γ-rays, and the upper bounds on their flux and ejecta mass uncertainties cover several orders of magnitude. Within the framework of our hierarchical model, we can nevertheless infer tight upper bounds on the 22Na ejecta masses, given all uncertainties from individual objects as well as diffuse emission, of < 2.0 × 10−7 M⊙ (99.85th percentile).

Conclusions. In the context of ONe nucleosynthesis, the 22Na bounds are consistent with theoretical expectations and exclude that most ONe novae occur on white dwarfs with masses of about 1.35 M⊙. The upper bounds from 7Be are uninformative. From the combined ejecta mass estimate of 22Na and its β+ decay, we infer a positron production rate of < 5.5 × 1042 e+ s−1, which would mean 10% at most of the total annihilation rate in the Milky Way.

Trade credit or vertical merger strategy for financial constrained retailer in a supply chain with asymmetric competing retailers
Authors: Zhan Jizhou , Xu Tiantian , Xu Xun , Jin Yaqi
Published: May 2021

Motivated by the practices that many small and middle-sized enterprises (SME) retailers have financial constraints due to their limited budget and financing access, this paper studies the manufacturer’s financial strategy (i.e., trade credit versus vertical merger with a capital-constrained retailer) in a supply chain with two financial asymmetric retailers. We first compare the equilibrium profits under different financing modes and find that if manufacturer’s capital cost under trade credit or administrative cost under vertical merger is below a certain threshold, the manufacturer should finance instead of deselect the capital-constrained retailer even though the competition is intensified. Furthermore, manufacturer can choose a financing strategy based on the tradeoff between financing value and cost from trade credit or vertical merger. Under trade credit, the increased horizontal competition intensity is against the capital-constrained retailer while with vertical merger the competition intensity is harmful to the capital-abundant retailer. In addition, through investigating the impact of different financial modes on the equilibrium profits of the supply chain players, we find that whether trade credit can outperform vertical merger for both the manufacturer and the capital-constrained retailer depends on horizontal competition intensity, profit-sharing proportion and administrative cost of vertical merger. Moreover, the capital-abundant retailer will get the lowest profit when other participators act like an alliance. Our study provides a roadmap for the manufacturer to make a financing policy for capital-constrained retailer who competes with a funded retailer.

The authors attempt to explain the relationship between the process of humanitarization of education and the mechanism of achieving social fairness in Russian society. The research presents the attitude of individual stakeholders of educational services to the humanities in the university curricula. At the end of the research, the conclusion is made about the need for making joint managerial decisions by the federal executive authorities and educational institutions of Russia to enhance the role of higher education institutions in forming the population’s value system, as well as moral qualities of the individual.
“Theurgic creativity” in philosophical conceptions of F. Nietzsche, Vl. Solovyov, and N. Berdyaev
Authors: Buzhor Yevgeniya S. , Buzhor Vadim I. , Milyaeva Larisa V.
Published: May 2021

The article presents a comparative analysis of theurgic activity in the works of three thinkers from the point of the generic understanding of theurgy as a “complete transformation of reality”. Despite the literal meaning of the term “theurgy”, according to all three thinkers, the indicated transforming influence is carried out by man and not by God. Although F. Nietzsche himself does not utilize the concept of theurgy, his theory of the Übermensch does fit into the framework of radical theurgic creativity since it presupposes a complete transformation of man carried out by himself, a change in his ontological nature. What is noted as a substantial similarity of the understanding of the transforming human activity by V. Solovyov and F. Nietzsche is that both thinkers view man as a product and the highest link of nature from which it follows that the highest calling of man is the transformation of not only himself but also nature. The difference lies in the fact that in Nietzsche’s view, the theurgic transformation is carried out by a person alone, through heroic effort. According to Solovyov, the main path of transformation of man and the world – the path of love – begins with a combination of two individuals and leads to conciliarity. In contrast, N. Berdyaev’s conception of theurgic creativity is distinguished by its radical transcendence, opposition to nature.

Published: May 2021

Studying the history of private-public partnership is still relevant for the discussion on modernizing education. In the early 20th century, it was common practice to attract private capital to solve financial problems associated with the work of educational institutions in Russia, which opened the way for using new forms of organizing the educational process. The excursion method became a groundbreaking phenomenon in the pedagogical system. Studying the history of the application of this method in regional educational institutions is of interest from the perspective of modernization of the educational process and the development of educational tourism. The authors aimed to study the practice of using the excursion method in educational institutions of Tver and determine the role of the state and public figures in organizing excursions for students from outside of Russian metropolitan areas. The authors apply the local history method that allows them to link the processes that take place in the capitals and the regions in the interdisciplinary field and highlight the regional features of modernizing the education system. Unpublished archival records are used in the article. The novelty of the study consists in the reconstruction of educational regional tourist-excursive practices of the early 20th century in the case study of Tver. The authors identify the mechanisms of the private-public partnership in the solution of organizational and financial problems of arranging excursion trips. The significance of individual public figures’ funds when arranging long excursion trips is discovered.
The concept of moral education in Russian neo-Kantianism: correlation of philosophy and pedagogy
Authors: Vladimirov Pavel A. , Lebedeva Anastasia V.
Published: May 2021

The article uncovers the key provisions of the moral education concept, formulated in the framework of Russian neo-Kantianism at the turn of the 19th-20th centuries but still remaining a poorly studied topic. Conducting historical-philosophical and comparative analysis, the authors reveal common intentions in the pedagogical ideas of Russian philosophers, which were based on rethinking the system of critical idealism of I. Kant and the methodology of German neo-Kantianism. Special attention is paid to the concept of moral education of S.I. Hessen, the theory of upbringing of A.V. Veideman, and the psychological pedagogy of M.M. Rubinstein. The article defines the key concepts and categories of Russian neo-Kantian pedagogy and methodological foundations, in particular, the teleological basis of the teaching and upbringing theory is revealed from the variety of author’s and original ideas. The consistent uncovering and comparison of the pedagogical studies of Russian neo-Kantians allow revealing the general intention of their standpoints – focusing on the correlation of freedom and responsibility in the context of creating conditions for moral education. As a result, consideration of forming individual responsibility in the discourse of the correlation of arbitrariness and freedom is becoming the distinctive feature of the entire trend of Russian neo-Kantianism. The relevance of the study of this topic is due to the increasing need at present to identify the fundamental grounds for forming morality and responsibility in the continuity of the education, self-discipline, and training processes.
The feminine image of Russia in the religious and philosophical writings by Russian thinkers at the turn of the 20th century
Authors: Sadovnikov Arcady G. , Korzheva Alina E. , Khudoidodzoda Farrukh Begidjon
Published: May 2021

The article looks at the versions of the feminine image of Russia in the religious and philosophical reflections of the Russian thinkers who worked during the Silver Age (the period of Russian culture covering approximately 1890–1917): Vladimir Solovyov, Nikolai Berdyaev, and Sergei Bulgakov. Special attention is paid to the balance between the male and female principles, which are endowed with certain characteristics in different works by Russian thinkers, not only from the perspective of human nature but also in terms of the nature of Russian culture and mentality, as well as the cosmic nature of the universe. Analysis of the religious and philosophical pursuit of the Silver Age relating to the feminine image of Russia allows the authors to specify the ideas of the characteristics of femininity engrained in the Russian culture and clarify the role of this pursuit in the development of the reflexive Russian thought directed towards becoming aware of these characteristics. The belief about the salvatory mission carried out by the feminine aspect of the human and cosmic nature distinctively identified in the religious and philosophical writings by the Russian thinkers belonging to the Siver Age requires further study. The research has been conducted within the framework of the symbolic direction of cultural studies with the help of comparative analysis, the method of theoretical reconstruction, and problematic-logical, functional, and systemic approaches. These methods allowed the authors to specify the problematic field of the research and define the main concepts to examine the statements about the feminine aspect of Russian culture by different authors as a unified system of forms aimed at the comprehension of the value and symbolic foundation of the national ethnic culture.

Published: May 2021

The article raises the issue of contemporary trends in the violation of the formation mechanisms of constructive attitudes of public consciousness associated with the development of information technologies. The starting point of the research is to substantiate the importance of constructive attitudes of the social worldview and to develop constructive value orientations in the social environment, as a condition for the stable existence of society. The authors evaluate the role of the contemporary advancement in information technologies and, in particular, in the spreading of numerous media, as a factor in the development of the crisis in the functionality of the family institutions, religion, and education. Besides assessing the socialization mechanisms expressed at the level of the family, education, and religious institutions, the authors note general cultural trends associated with the activation of information communication processes. The authors reveal a common trend in the development of the spiritual crisis and describe the self-reproduction mechanism of cultural trends at the digital communication level, as well as the formation of products that are focused on the mass consumer. It is proved that one of the important factors in the reproduction of information products with negative content is the predominance of the quantitative aspect of the evaluation of network information products. On the example of the institution of the literary award, the possibility of applying methods of qualitative assessment of network content is proved, which results in the possibility of stimulating the development of products that have constructive impact on the social worldview area.

Published: May 2021

Discourse study in contemporary science is characterized by various approaches, whose integrative feature is the fact that this theoretical phenomenon is considered as a communicative activity and is caused by anthropocentric factors of speech generation. The representation of school discourse stimuli allows simulating the speech portrait of participants in educational activities. School discourse is a complex communicative phenomenon created by the subjects of the school educational process. It reflects the totality of accepted values and behavioral stereotypes in a particular socio-cultural space. The work aims to investigate the stimuli of school discourse. This work was conducted employing methods, such as 1) the free associative experiment; 2) quantitative analysis, which allowed identifying the actualization of the incentive perception based on quantitative data; and 3) discursive and conceptual analysis, which involved the identification of concepts, simulating them based on the conceptual totality of the means of their lexical representation in the usage. In the course of conducted study, about 600 native speakers of the Russian language were interviewed, and 9,440 associations were obtained for the school discourse stimuli. In the language consciousness of schoolchildren and teachers, associations for the “Family” stimulus were dominant, and the associative field of this stimulus was represented most broadly. The smallest number of associations was noted with regard to the “Evil” stimulus. The frequency of associations in the stimuli “Good”, “Happiness”, “Love”, “Friendship”, “Joy”, and “Labor” was approximately the same. The representation of school discourse stimuli reflects the value system, worldviews, moods, and assessments of recipients. Such a study was conducted for the first time.

Published: May 2021

Historically, the Russian language has become a common means of communication in the Russian Federation. The Republic of Crimea is a place where the population is represented by a multinational community. At that, some areas are densely populated with a single nation, where children speak the Tatar language, that is, are essentially everyday bilinguals. The most characteristic type of bilingualism in Russia is the national Russian language, which is learned both through training and direct communication with the Russian-speaking population. Early everyday bilingualism is common when the assimilation of the native and Russian languages develops almost in parallel. The authors have received new information on the peculiarities of the acquisition of Russian and native Tatar languages in primary school children raised in a multilingual environment. It is proved that speech therapy examination of speech disorders in bilingual children should be conducted in two languages. The article presents developed recommendations for teaching bilingual children in a Russian-language school, depending on the degree of proficiency in Russian and the presence of speech disorders.
Variability of the Russian educational axiosphere of the early 20th century
Authors: Khvataeva Natalia P. , Zakharishcheva Marina A.
Published: May 2021

Being the subject of interest of many scientists, the evolution of education is considered as a process, as a set of values that are reflected in the works of educators of each era. In this case, the object of the study is the first half of the 20th century, as the most controversial era in terms of values, represented by a wide range of pedagogical ideas and trends. The article analyzes various texts of educators of the early 20th century to form a holistic view concerning the axiological field of education at that time. The applied methods of analysis and synthesis, generalization, abstraction, classification, and modeling, as well as the historical and structural method were dictated by the purpose of the study. The conducted work has resulted in the clarification of the concept of the axiosphere, its components and objective laws, the description of the educational axiosphere of the declared era through the analysis and synergy of values and meanings of educators of that time. The reliability of the result is ensured by the reference to the author’s text of the studied educators, which allowed formulating their values in their own language, so to speak in the first person. The attempt to present the value dominants of different educational figures of the same time as components of a single axiosphere is a fundamentally new approach, since traditionally in the history of education, it is customary to oppose the author’s pedagogical concepts and consider them as autonomous, sometimes contradictory systems.

Published: May 2021

The model of training future primary school teachers for the formation of students' skills to cooperate in a team is developed and experimentally tested in the article. There are the following components of this model: goals, methodological approaches, content (the structure of the ability to work in a team is considered), the main stages, forms, methods, means, diagnostic tools and the result of the studied training. The skills to cooperate in a team are explored in the article as a complex formation and as one of the soft skills. At higher education institutions, the future teachers training for the formation at primary school students' skills to collaborate in a team takes place mainly during the implementation of interactive, game and project methods.

The article points out that currently in Ukraine the increasing attention is directed to the definition of ICT, providing the maximum consideration of individual peculiarities of education applicants. The approaches to the definition of left-handed education applicant (left hand is the leading one) and the notion of ambidextrous (the ability of a person to use both hands equally) are identified. In order to determine the readiness of future teachers to work with left-handed education applicants, a survey of second- and third-year students at Oleksandr Dovzhenko Hlukhiv National Pedagogical University was conducted. It was determined that the vast majority (over 80%) among them have limited understanding of the peculiarities of teaching left-handed people. It is proved that there is an urgent need for specialists with appropriate theoretical and practical training, who are capable of effectively teaching left-handed pupils in accordance with their individual-psychological features. The level of empathy found in future educators indicates a positive psychological state of the vast majority of students, which will enable them to form inclusive competence more effectively. It is determined that the "mirror reflection method" is scientifically and methodologically justified to work with left-handed education applicants. In order to prepare future educators to work with left-handed education applicants, online software for mirroring photo and video materials has been identified.
