Semiotics of the house in modern oral stories about the funeral and memorial rites of the Brest region
Authors:   Anhui University, Shved Inna
Published: March 2024

The article continues the study of the house as a key element of the locative code of the funeral and memorial rituals of the Slavs. The empirical material of the narrative tradition of the Brest region, recorded in the last two decades, reflects the “spatial picture of the semiosphere” (Yu. Lotman) as designed in it. The correlation of the topography of the rite and the ritual text with the mythological and real space is analysed, as well as the category of the boundary, through which the semiotic oppositions “one's own - someone else's”, “internal - external”, “center - periphery”, “top - bottom”, “living - dead”, etc. are introduced. Modern stories about funeral and memorial rituals, the semantic field of which includes a system of meanings associated with the house and its loci, suggest that through the semiotization of the house, the actualization of the main and additional symbolism of its loci, the funeral and memorial rite tries to represent the death of a person as part of a repeating cyclic order. They model the “correct” or “good” death of a household member, demonstrate a certain degree of control over the unpredictable nature of biological individual death, the ability to first localize it in a certain place in the house, and then completely clear the dwelling of it along with the removal of the body and soul of the deceased to the other world.
Cú Chulainn as Culann’s dog: towards a reconstruction of an archaic mythological motive
Authors:   Institute of Linguistics, Russian Academy of Sciences, Mikhailova Tatyana
Published: March 2024

The starting point of the investigation is the episode in which the Irish epic hero got his name Cú Chulainn, i.e. Culan-the-Smith's Hound. In early Ireland, the prefix ‘Cú' (Hound) was really used in names of kings and of heroes, as it is generally considered, to denote warrior status. We do not fully agree with this straightforward interpretation. In Celtic tradition a hound possesses, in the first place, certain protective functions as a defender of “wives and cattle”, the fact finding its analogues in the Old Indian tradition. At the same time we are going to draw attention to the fact that the Irish hero is referred to as not just Hound, but as Smith's Hound , which allow us also to draw parallels with the Indo-European cult of the smith in general and the “smith myth” in the Irish tradition in particular. Special attention is given to the character of the Ulidian smith Culann whom we come across only in the episode Cu Chulainn's boyhood deeds. His name is supposed to go back to the form *Colionos from the Indo-European term *kolo - “to struck”. The fact that his attribute is a hound makes it possible to see the mythic image of the sacred figure re-interpreted in the late Medieval narrative: the God of Fire and his zoomorphic companion.
Rus’ and alien ethno-confessional space in the initial annals
Authors:   Institute of Slavic Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences, Petrukhin Vladimir
Published: March 2024

The main task of the Primary Chronicle (PC) was the inclusion of a new people - baptized Rus' - in the biblical picture of the world. The chronicler's approach was not a “formal” determination of the place of the new people among the descendants of Noah. The chronicler used historical sources to determine the place of pre-Christian Varangian Rus' in the Slavic world (“The Legend of the Translation of Books into the Slovenian Language”), and in the world of Byzantine Christianity (treaties between Rus' and the Greeks). “The Legend” allowed the chronicler to identify the Kyiv Polyane with the Polish Polyane, as heirs of the Cyril and Methodius tradition (Slavic language). The treaties testified to the ancient Slavs' acceptance of writing, the Greeks' acceptance of Russian customs (an oath to the pagan gods), and the Rus' acceptance of Slavic and Christian customs. The completion of these processes was the baptism and formation of Rus' as a new people.

Nowadays, challenged by diverse uncertainties and disruptions (e.g., bad weather), as well as the strict environmental regulations imposed by authorities (e.g., on carbon emissions), airlines are struggling. How to improve their operational efficiency in such a volatile and adverse market becomes a top agenda of airlines. Among various operations, crew scheduling is fundamentally important as staffing cost is a big part of the total operational expenses. It is known that in crew scheduling, “robust crew pairing” is crucial to make the produced pairings less vulnerable in real operations. Existing studies generally construct robustness assuming that the aircraft cruise speed is fixed. However, prior studies have found that flight times exhibit significant variations due to reasons like cruise speed adjustment, and aircraft can control cruise speed for purposes like reducing delays. For crew, cruise speed controllability is also useful in hedging disruptions. For example, one flight can speed up to meet its on-time arrival even if it departs late due to crew disruptions. However, the impacts of cruise speed controllability on crew pairing robustness and the related environmental costs are under-explored. We thus propose this preliminary study to explore the possibility to use cruise speed controllability to enhance schedule robustness for crews.
Letter on the symbolical interpretation of human speed of thought and information processing through Einstein’s Theories of Special and General relativity, or: Thinking at (nearly) the speed of light.
Authors: Sterken Peter
Published: March 2024

Albert Einstein devised his theories of Special and General Relativity regarding time dilation and length contraction for relativistic speeds and the curvature of spacetime in gravitational fields, respectively. In this Letter, Einstein’s theories are used symbolically to view the divergent speeds of thought and information processing capabilities of persons who can be categorised as being faster or slower than the median capacity of human beings and depending on perturbative influences such as the intake of drugs, mental disorders or higher-than-average or lower-than-average intellectual gifts.
Mutual gaze and movement synchrony boost observers' enjoyment and perception of togetherness when watching dance duets

Published: March 2024

As social beings, we are adept at coordinating bodily movements and gaze with others. Often, when coordinating with another person, we orient ourselves to face them, as mutual gaze provides valuable cues pertaining to attention and intentions. Moreover, movement synchrony and mutual gaze are associated with prosocial outcomes, yet the perceptual consequences of these forms of coordination remain poorly understood. Across two experiments, we assessed how movement synchrony and gaze direction influence observers’ perceptions of dyads. Observers’ behavioural responses indicated that dyads are perceived as more socially connected and are more enjoyable to watch when moving synchronously and facing each other. Neuroimaging results showed modulation of the Action Observation and Theory of Mind networks by movement synchrony and mutual gaze, with more robust brain activity when evaluating togetherness (i.e., active and intentional collaboration) than aesthetic value (i.e., enjoyment). A fuller understanding of the consequences of movement synchrony and mutual gaze from the observer’s viewpoint holds important implications for social perception, in terms of how observers intuit social relationships within dyads, and the aesthetic value derived from watching individuals moving in these ways.
Preregistered Replication and Extension of "Moral Hypocrisy: Social Groups and the Flexibility of Virtue"
Authors: Robertson Claire , Akles Madison , Van Bavel Jay Joseph
Published: March 2024

The tendency for people to consider themselves morally good while behaving selfishly is known as “moral hypocrisy.” Influential work by Valdesolo & DeSteno (2007) found evidence for intergroup moral hypocrisy, such that people are more forgiving of transgressions when they were committed by an in-group member than an out-group member. We conducted two experiments to examine moral hypocrisy and group membership in an online paradigm with Prolific Workers from the US: a direct replication of the original work with minimal groups (N = 610, nationally representative) and a conceptual replication with political groups (N = 606, 50% Democrat and 50% Republican). Although the results did not replicate the original findings, we observed evidence of in-group favoritism in minimal groups and out-group derogation in political groups. The current research finds mixed evidence of intergroup moral hypocrisy and has implications for understanding the contextual dependencies of intergroup bias and partisanship
Eisner, L. & Hässler, T., (2024). Panel Svizzero LGBTIQ+ Panel – Rapporto di sintesi 2023.
Authors: Eisner Léïla , Hässler Tabea
Published: March 2024

Nel 2023, molte discussioni hanno portato in primo piano diverse questioni relative ai diritti delle persone lesbiche, gay, bisessuali, trans, intersessuali e queer/questioning (LGBTIQ+). Queste discussioni comprendono una serie di argomenti, tra cui il divieto delle terapie di conversione a diversi livelli e la crescente visibilità delle persone trans e non binarie nei media. Il sondaggio annuale 2023 del Panel Svizzero LGBTIQ+ includeva domande su questi temi. Nella quinta ondata del Panel Svizzero LGBTIQ+, presentiamo quattro temi centrali del nostro sondaggio annuale. In primo luogo, forniamo approfondimenti sulle caratteristiche de* partecipant* all’inchiesta, sulla distribuzione demografica e informazioni sulle loro esperienze di discriminazione e di coming out. In secondo luogo, evidenziamo i risultati chiave relativi alle terapie di conversione. In terzo luogo, condividiamo statistiche sui crimini d’odio segnalati, comprese le segnalazioni alla polizia e le esperienze delle vittime. In quarto luogo, presentiamo statistiche chiave relative ai cambiamenti di nome e di indicatore di genere in vari ambiti. Per concludere, forniamo informazioni sulla salute e sul benessere delle persone LGBTIQ+. Per tenere conto delle sfide specifiche (ad es. situazione legale, discriminazione) a cui i diversi sottogruppi della comunità LGBTIQ+ si trovano confrontati, abbiamo progettato – come nelle precedenti ondate – diverse versioni di un questionario web su misura per le minoranze sessuali (ad es. persone gay, lesbiche, bisessuali o pansessuali) e di genere (ad es. persone trans o intersessuali). Anche le persone cis-eterosessuali interessate sono state invitate a partecipare all’inchiesta. Si prega di notare che una persona può essere sia membro di una minoranza sessuale che di una minoranza di genere. Per ridurre il tempo impiegato a rispondere al sondaggio, l* partecipant* hanno risposto ad una sola versione del questionario. Tutte le versioni sono state tradotte in inglese, tedesco, francese e italiano. Grazie al sostegno di molte organizzazioni LGBTIQ+, di riviste e di persone che hanno condiviso ampiamente il nostro studio attraverso diversi canali mediatici, 2’812 persone hanno risposto al nostro questionario da gennaio 2023 a settembre 2023. Nel presente rapporto, ci concentriamo sui risultati chiave riguardanti le minoranze sessuali, le minoranze di genere e le persone cis-eterosessuali.
Nothingness in meditation: Making sense of emptiness and cessation
Authors: Agrawal Vismay , Laukkonen Ruben
Published: March 2024

Contemplative practices have been shown to elicit a range of experiences and insights often referred to as "nothingness". However, these encounters are frequently conflated and remain undifferentiated. Here we address this ambiguity and provide a nuanced understanding of two such events: 1) emptiness (lack of inherent existence in experience, i.e., no-thingness) and 2) cessation (‘cut’ or absence in the stream of consciousness, i.e., nothingness). We synthesize insights from Buddhist literature and empirical research, investigating the relationship between these ‘nothingness’ phenomena, their transformative effects, and neural correlates. We also examine multiple pathways that may lead to cessation and consider potential cognitive models underlying these experiences using the active inference framework. Finally, we discuss the relationship between ‘nothingness’ events and cessation of suffering and enduring equanimity, setting the stage for further development in this field. Our unique contributions involve juxtaposing various experiences of “void, oneness, non-dual awareness, pure consciousness” with insights into “emptiness and cessation”, and analyzing their potential implications for alleviating suffering.
Disentangling the Unique Contributions of Age, Pubertal Stage, and Pubertal Hormones to Brain Structure Development

Published: March 2024

Puberty and associated changes in pubertal hormones influence structural brain development. Hormones such as dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and progesterone remain understudied, and it remains unclear how these aspects of puberty contribute uniquely to structural brain development. We used the Human Connectome Project in Development cross-sectional sample of 1,304 youth (aged 5-21 years) to investigate unique contributions of sex, age, pubertal stage, DHEA, testosterone, estradiol, and progesterone to cortical thickness, surface area, and subcortical volume development within functionally-relevant networks. Sex and age explain the most unique variance in all three aspects of structure development. Pubertal stage and pubertal hormones uniquely contribute more to cortical surface area, compared to thickness. Among the pubertal hormones, progesterone contributed unique variance to surface area in the default mode network, as well as to thickness in the orbito-affective network. Pubertal mechanisms also contributed unique variance to subcortical volumes. This demonstrates unique relations of understudied pubertal hormones to brain structure development and may help understand risk for psychopathology.

Published: March 2024

BackgroundPerinatal risk factors are implicated in the development of psychopathology, but their role in bipolar disorder (BD) and hypomania is unclear. Using data from a prospective community cohort, this is the first study to investigate the association between a range of perinatal risk factors, hypomanic symptoms, and ‘high-risk’ for BD in the general population. MethodsParent report of perinatal events were available for 26,040 eighteen-month-olds from the Twins Early Development Study. Subsequent self-report hypomania was measured at ages 16 (Hypomania Checklist-16; N=2,943) and 26 (Mood Disorders Questionnaire; N=7,748). Participants were categorised as ‘high-risk’ for BD using established classifications. Linear and logistic regressions were conducted within a generalised estimating equations framework to account for relatedness in the sample. Results Prenatal alcohol exposure (β=0.08, SE=0.04, p=.0002) and number of alcohol units consumed (β=0.09, SE=0.02, p<.0001) were associated with hypomanic symptoms at age 16, and number of alcohol units (OR=1.13, 95% CI:1.06–1.21, p=.0003) and maternal stress (OR=1.68, 95% CI:1.21–2.34, p=.002) were associated with ‘high-risk’ for BD age 16. Prenatal tobacco exposure (β=0.10, SE=0.04, p<.0001) and number of cigarettes smoked (β=0.10, SE=0.01, p<.0001) were associated with hypomanic symptoms and ‘high-risk’ for BD at age 26, although these result were attenuated controlling for parental psychiatric history.LimitationsFamilial confounding could not be fully adjusted for. Rater reports include some biases.ConclusionsThese findings show perinatal risk factors to be associated with subclinical hypomania and ‘high-risk’ for BD. Future work should explore the mechanisms underlying these longitudinal associations, which could shed light on prevention and intervention efforts.
Moving spiders do not boost early visual processing in spider fear
Authors: Becker Miriam , Troje Nikolaus F. , Schmidt Filipp , Haberkamp Anke
Published: March 2024

Previous research on attention to fear-relevant stimuli has largely focused on static pictures or drawings, and thus did not consider the potential effect of natural motion. Here, we aimed to investigate the effect of motion on attentional capture in spider-fearful and non-fearful participants by using point-light stimuli and naturalistic videos. Point-light stimuli consist of moving dots representing joints and thereby visualizing biological motion (e.g. of a walking human or cat) without needing a visible body. Spider-fearful (n = 30) and non-spider-fearful (n = 31) participants completed a visual search task with moving targets (point-light/naturalistic videos) and static distractors (images), static targets and moving distractors, or static targets and static distractors. Participants searched for a specified animal type (snakes, spiders, cats, or doves) as quickly as possible. We replicated previous findings with static stimuli: snakes were detected faster and increased distraction, while spiders just increased distraction. However, contrary to our hypotheses, spider targets did not speed up responses, neither in the group of control nor in the group of spider-fearful participants. Interestingly, stimuli-specific effects were toned down, abolished, or even changed direction when motion was introduced. Also, we demonstrated that point-light stimuli were of similar efficiency as naturalistic videos, indicating that for testing effects of motion in visual search, “pure” motion stimuli might be sufficient. As we do show a substantial modulation of visual search phenomena by biological motion, we advocate for future studies to use moving stimuli, equivalent to our dynamic environment, to increase ecological validity.

Published: March 2024

Studies on forest carbon stock have increased in Nepal, especially in community forests, as a result of worldwide recognition of the role of sustainable forest management in climate change mitigation. Leasehold forests, which contribute greatly to reviving degraded forests and livelihoods of pro-poor communities, however, have been sidelined from such studies. This study assessed the biomass carbon stock of leasehold forests and its relationship with tree diversity in the Nawalpur district in Nepal. The concentric sample plots with subplots were laid, measuring trees (8.92m radius), saplings (5.64m radius), and regeneration (1m radius), in eleven leasehold forests. Plant diversity was calculated using the Shannon–Wiener diversity index (H’) to assess forest conditions. The average carbon stock was found to be 11.40 t/ha, where the stock varied by nature of intervention. The average carbon stock in non-tree-based restoration sites was estimated to be 3.81 t/ha, which was significantly lower than in tree-based restoration sites (14.49 t/ha). A total of 37 species of trees were recorded from 45 sample plots distributed across eleven LFUGs. Spearman’s rank-order correlation coefficient between forest carbon stock and diversity index was 0.613, which shows a strong positive correlation and was significant at a 99% confidence interval. There was a synergy between biomass carbon stock and tree diversity because communities were protecting the existing tree species and planting multipurpose trees to meet their need for forest products. The study concludes that leasehold forestry contributes positively to the enhancement of carbon stock and tree diversity.
Pathogenic fungi associated with economically important tree species in a planted forest in Ghorahi, Dang, Nepal
Authors: Jha Sanjay Kumar , Thapa Sadikshya
Published: March 2024

The structure and composition of healthy ecosystems, as well as the production and protection equations, are all influenced by forest diseases. This study was conducted in a planted forest in Ghorahi, Dang, Nepal, to document pathogenic fungi associated with economically important tree species, viz. Tectona grandis, Dalbergia sissoo, Eucalyptus camaldulensis, and Bombax ceiba. By using a stratified random sampling technique, a total of 10 quadrats, with a sample size of 20x20m, were located. Each plot was then divided into quadrats of 10x10m. The diseased samples were collected and brought to the laboratory. A total of 10 fungal pathogens were identified. Of them, eight pathogens were identified to species level and two to generic level. These 10 pathogens are Erysiphe tectonae (powdery mildew), Oliveatectonae (leaf rust), Alternaria alternata (leaf blight), Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (leaf blight), Cylindrocladium reteaudii (leaf blight), Fusarium sp. (dieback), Alternaria alternata (leaf blight), Fusarium solani (gummosis), Fusarium sp. (canker), and Maravalia achroa (leaf rust).

Published: March 2024

A vegetation analysis of tree species was undertaken in the 92.69 hectares (ha) of the forest connected to the Institute of Forestry (IOF), Hetauda Campus. The study separated the forest into two strata, and a total of 10 circular sample plots (each plot measuring 500 m2) were constructed using systematic sampling with a sampling intensity of 0.5%. Enumeration of tree species was carried out within the sample plots. A total of 139 individual trees representing 16 (10 in stratum 1 and 12 in stratum 2) different tree species were recorded (60 in stratum 1 and 79 in stratum 2). Diversity indices were used for calculating vegetation parameters. According to the Importance Value Index, Shorea robusta was dominant in both strata, followed by other heterogenous species. The Shannon Wiener’s index and Simpson’s Diversity Index were higher in stratum 2, but the dominance index was lower than in stratum 1. Stratum 2 had a marginally higher measure of both evenness and richness than stratum 1. The study investigated the vegetation structure of the riverine and tropical moist deciduous forest in the study area. Increasing human interference had no significant effect on diversity and number of species among the strata. This study provides the baseline data necessary to characterize the phytodiversity of the forest area of the Institute of Forestry, Hetauda Campus for conservation and sustainable management.

Authors: Ochwat Magdalena
Published: March 2024

Artykuł stanowi próbę odpowiedzi na pytanie, czy humanistyka ma zdolność budowania szeroko pojętej odporności w czasach katastrofy klimatycznej, a jeśli tak, to jaka humanistyka może pomóc ludziom trwać mimo doświadczania przez nich bezprecedensowych zagrożeń środowiskowych. Jako jeden ze sposobów realizacji tego celu wskazano humanistykę odpornościową (rezyliencyjną), która sprzyja rozwijaniu umiejętności społecznych i ekologicznych wspierających funkcjonowanie w trudnych warunkach globalnego kryzysu środowiskowego. Wśród tych umiejętności jako najważniejsze wymieniono: umiejętność kształtowania poczucia wspólnoty wszystkich istot żyjących na Ziemi, czyli formowania przynależności do wielkiej sieci życia (humanistyka splatająca), umiejętność kształtowania emocjonalnej bliskości z Ziemią (humanistyka terenowa) oraz umiejętność wypracowywania postawy gotowości na przyszłość, snucia scenariuszy jutra (humanistyka przyszłości). W artykule wskazano także, że uprawianie humanistyki splatającej, terenowej i przyszłościowej może być sposobem wyrażania troski o Ziemię. Podjęto również próbę spojrzenia na obecny kryzys ekologiczny jako na szansę przepracowania koncepcji nauk humanistycznych, które są zdolne kształtować rzeczywistość i przyszłość, a jednocześnie stanowią źródło regeneracji naszych sił.

Authors: Khatuntseva Svіtlana
Published: March 2024

Individualization of learning and health promotion play a key role in the implementation of the concept of barrier-free pedagogical practice. The aim of the study was to characterize the features of a barrier-free educational environment, to find out the role of individualization of learning and health protection in pedagogical practice. The article discusses the issues of individualization of learning and health protection in the formation of a barrier-free educational environment, provides examples of pedagogical practices aimed at their implementation, and highlights methods of individualization and health protection to create a favorable environment for the learning and development of each student. It is emphasized that in the modern educational context, creating a barrier-free environment requires taking into account the individual needs and potential of each student. The individualization of learning is aimed at adapting the educational process to the needs of each student, providing them with the opportunity to study in comfortable conditions and develop their potential. Health promotion ensures the physical and mental well-being of students, contributing to their successful learning and development. The strategies and methods of individualization of learning, such as differentiation of tasks, group and individual work, use of various educational materials and technologies are considered. The role of health promotion in pedagogical practice, including the organization of physical activity, psychological support and promotion of a positive psychosocial environment, is highlighted. The mechanisms for ensuring the functioning of a barrier-free educational environment are proposed, its components and factors of individualization of learning are considered. The article provides specific examples of innovative pedagogical practices that promote individualization of learning and contribute to health protection. In particular, the article considers methods of working with different types of tasks, the use of interactive technologies and tools that allow personalizing the learning process (stretching, flipped classroom, project method). It is found that innovative teaching methods are a mechanism for including different categories of students in the educational process. It is concluded that a barrier-free educational environment is a system that provides equal access and equal learning conditions for all students, regardless of their individual characteristics and needs; health protection involves systematic work with the physical and mental health of students, providing them with optimal conditions for learning and development; individualization of learning helps to prevent barriers to learning and promotes the inclusion of different categories of students in the educational process..

The purpose of the work is to analyze the integration and interaction of various components of the structure of the physical condition of professional servicemen of the military unit of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship. 50 professional soldiers aged 26-30 and 50 professional soldiers aged 36-40 took part in the study. The scope of the study included the registration of 12 parameters of physical (FD) and motor (MD) development. Mathematical analysis of the obtained research results was carried out with the help of statistics and graphics programs Statistics 13.5 and Excel-16. The results show that the age of the two groups of servicemen does not affect the value of the FD indicators. However, in the group of servicemen over 30 years old, the indicators of FD are integrated more strongly. Among the parameters of MD, the biggest changes occurred in the parameters of the 3000 m run and body inclinations in the age group of servicemen under 30 years of age. Studies have shown that most indicators of FD and MD are interrelated and depend on each other. Among the FD indicators, the following indicators have the largest number of strong relationships: BMI, water content in the body (%), ratio of body weight to body surface area (kg/m2) and body surface area (S) in m2. Among the MD indicators in the group of military personnel under the age of 30, the largest number of strong interrelationships is manifested in the parameters of running 3000 m (s), body tilts 2', pull-ups on a high bar. However, in the group of servicemen over 30 years of age, the strongest relationships are observed for the parameters of pull-ups and 2' trunk bends. As a result of factor, regression and canonical analysis, the main factors and information indicators of the structure of the physical condition of military personnel were determined. Models of their interaction were developed and the specifics of the mutual influence of the group of FD indicators and the group of MD indicators were investigated. The MD scores of professional soldiers have a greater effect on the FD scores than the FD scores on the MD scores.
