Published: December 2023

The article is touches upon the issue of employment strategies for full-time students. Modern socio-economic processes allow young people to combine educational and work activities, focusing on earning money, acquir-ing practical skills, gaining independence, personal and professional development. The lack of work and life experience among young Volgograd residents raises the issue of choosing a job search strategy, selecting offers, and self-presentation on the labor market. Based on theoretical analysis and empirical research con-ducted by questionnaire, the authors identify the five most popular employment strategies. Focusing on one strategy or another allows for optimal use of available resources to achieve the goal of employment. Based on the results of the study, the authors identify and analyze positive and negative factors that are characteristic of the strategies under consideration. At the end of the article, according to the criteria presented by the authors and the subjective assessments of students, situations are explicated where each strategy will help achieve the goal of employment and reduce dissatisfaction and disappointment with the received vacancy.
“The Runaway World” and “Liqiud Modernity”: The Image of Sociality in British Post-Nonclassical Sociology
Authors:   Novosibirsk Institute of Technology (branch) of the Kosygin Russian State University  (Technologies. Design. Art), Dobrina Olga A.
Published: December 2023

The content of the article is focused on analyzing the problems of reflecting social instability and searching for vectors of development in contemporary British postnonclassical sociology. The issues of class inequality, di-chotomy of freedom and order, egalitarianism and elitism, past and future, local and global dimensions are highlighted and analyzed. It is emphasized that contemporary British postnonclassical sociology is seriously influenced by the factors of social instability, total risks, and the lack of a distinct positive image of a desirable future. Bauman’s “liquid modernity” is presented. Common postulates of the theories are revealed, such as instability of the present and unpredictability of the future, frustrated and loneliness of personality in modern society. Differences in the accents of constructing the model of modern sociality by these scientists are noted. Conclusion dwells upon the fact that British postnonclassical sociology, represented by its two most prominent representatives, is clearly oriented towards the search for integration of the poles of the dichotomies under study, which is manifested in Giddens’ category of trust and Bauman’s category of dialog. This testifies to the gradual penetration of the axiological component into the paradigm of modern sociology.

Genetic similarity of four strawberry cultivars in respect to Verticillium wilt susceptibility under in vitro selection
Authors: Żebrowska Jadwiga , Marecki Wojciech
Published: December 2023

Verticillium wilt caused by pathogenic soil fungus – Vertcillium dahliae Kleb. is one of the most serious strawberry diseases not treated chemically. The strawberry is a species more or less susceptible to Verticillium sp., hence the need to select new genetically resistant cultivars. In this study, susceptibility of four strawberry cultivars to Verticillium wilt was examined under in vitro selection conditions as regards the genetic similarity of selected resistant plants. Microplants of 4 strawberry subclones obtained by in vitro cloning of each cultivar were inoculated in vitro with liquid mycelial homogenate of the pathogen. Development of disease symptoms was observed after 15, 30, 45, 60 and 75 days post inoculation. Results revealed differences of susceptibility to V. dahliae which depended on the subclone. The least susceptible to Verticillium wilt turned out to be ‘Plena’ subclone, followed by the ‘Elsanta’, ‘Feltar’ and ‘Teresa’ subclones. The highest genetic similarity of 59% was found between ‘Elsanta’ and ‘Teresa’ subclones, which after 75 days from inoculation were also characterized by a very similar percentage of resistant plants.

Badania przeprowadzono w latach 2015–2017, w oparciu o eksperyment polowy założony jesienią 2014 roku w miejscowości Rogów, powiat zamojski. Celem doświadczenia była ocena wpływu podpowierzchniowego wprowadzania zróżnicowanych dawek wieloskładnikowego nawozu mineralnego Polifoska®6 NPK(S) 6-20-30(7) na wybrane właściwości fizyko-chemiczne i biologiczne gleby, a także plon i jakość plonu ziarna pszenicy ozimej wysiewanej w zmianowaniu soja – pszenica ozima – kukurydza w warunkach uprawy bezorkowej. Nawóz mineralny w dawce 200 i 400 kg∙ha–1 wnoszono pod powierzchnię gleby równomiernie w zakresie 10–30 cm głębokości pracy elementu wysiewająco-spulchniającego. Obiekt kontrolny stanowiły poletka z powierzchniową aplikacją nawozu. Po zbiorze oceniono plon i elementy struktury plonu ziarna pszenicy. Wykonano również analizy chemiczne ziarna celem określenia jakości zebranego plonu. W pobieranych corocznie próbach glebowych oznaczano zawartość Corg w warstwie 0–30 cm, natomiast w glebie pobieranej do głębokości 90 cm (z podziałem na 3 warstwy co 30 cm) określono pH oraz zawartość fosforu, potasu i magnezu. Dodatkowo określono liczbę i biomasę dżdżownic.Plon ziarna pszenicy ozimej był istotnie zróżnicowany tylko w latach badań. W obiektach z wgłębnym wniesieniem nawozu Polifoska®6 odnotowano wzrost zawartości P i K w ziarnie w porównaniu z wariantem, w którym pszenicę ozimą nawożono powierzchniowo. Wyższa dawka nawozu mineralnego spowodowała ponadto wzrost zawartości N, P, K i Mg w ziarnie w porównaniu z dawką niższą o połowę.Zawartość Corg w powierzchniowej 0–30 cm warstwie gleby wyraźnie zwiększała się w kolejnych latach prowadzenia uprawy bezpłużnej. Najniższe pH określono w 0–30 cm warstwie gleby. W tym poziomie stwierdzono również większą zawartość P i K niż w warstwach gleby o głębokości 30–60 cm i 60–90 cm.W obiektach z wgłębnym sposobem aplikacji nawozu Polifoska®6 stwierdzono ogólną tendencję występowania większej liczby dżdżownic w porównaniu z nawożeniem powierzchniowym. Odnotowano również nieznaczny wzrost biomasy tych organizmów. Występowaniu większej masy dżdżownic sprzyjało ponadto zastosowanie wyższej dawki nawozu mineralnego.
Genetic basis of the phenomenon of male sterility and fertility restoration in maize (Zea mays L.) – a review
Authors: Żurek Monika
Published: December 2023

The phenomenon of male sterility in higher plants is, apart from protandry (earlier maturation of stamens), protogyny (earlier maturation of pistils), heterostyly (different stigmas) and self-incompatibility, one of the evolutionarily conditioned mechanisms forcing external pollination. Due to the elimination of the time- and cost-consuming emasculation of maternal lines, male-sterile lines are an object of interest in the seed production of hybrid cultivars of many plant species, including maize. Seed production of hybrid cultivars using male-sterile lines requires the establishment of maternal lines that are male-sterile in different environments and suitable paternal lines with fertility restorer genes. This paper summarizes the findings on the genetics of male sterility and fertility restoration in maize.

Published: December 2023

Soja (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) jest rośliną bobowatą cenioną m.in. za dużą wartość odżywczą nasion. Odgrywa ważną rolę w płodozmianie, poprawiając żyzność i strukturę gleby. Dlatego kluczowe znaczenie mają badania ukierunkowane na wyznaczenie optymalnych warunków agrotechnicznych dla uzyskania wysokich plonów tej rośliny. Celem przeprowadzonych badań była ocena plonowania dwóch odmian soi wysiewanych w zróżnicowanej rozstawie rzędów w warunkach uprawy metodą proekologiczną i konwencjonalną. Czteroletnie badania polowe udowodniły, że uprawa metodą konwencjonalną oddziaływała korzystniej niż proekologiczną na wielkość plonu nasion, obsadę roślin po wschodach, liczbę strąków z rośliny oraz liczbę i masę nasion z rośliny. W uprawie proekologicznej soja znacznie wyżej zawiązywała strąki. Lepiej plonującą okazała się odmiana Merlin niż Aldana (o 43,4%), u której korzystniej kształtowały się również elementy struktury plonu i łanu, z wyjątkiem masy 1000 nasion. Istotnie większy plon nasion soi uzyskano w rozstawie rzędów 22,5 cm niż 35 cm.

Authors: Oberholtzer Sydney M. , Cook Audrey K. , Gomez Robynne , Steiner Jörg M.
Published: December 2023

OBJECTIVE

To determine the prognostic value of serum C-reactive protein (CRP) in dogs with pancreatitis.

ANIMALS

503 client-owned animals with pancreatic lipase immunoreactivity (PLI) > 600 µg/L.

METHODS

Routine submissions to the Texas A&M Gastrointestinal Laboratory were monitored for canine samples with PLI > 600 µg/L. Clinics were emailed 2 weeks after PLI measurement and asked the following questions: (1) was the dog hospitalized, and (2) is the patient alive? If a response was received, serum CRP concentration was measured using leftover serum.

RESULTS

Paired PLI and CRP results were available for 503 dogs. Median PLI was 984 µg/L (range, 603 to 2,001 µg/L); median CRP was 9.9 mg/L (range, 9.9 to 395.3 mg/L; ref: < 10 mg/L). Inpatient care was provided to 136 dogs (27.0%); 49 dogs (9.7%) died or were euthanized. Median PLI values for dogs that died versus survived were similar. Median CRP was higher in hospitalized dogs (36.1 vs 9.9 mg/L; P < .0001) and those that died (37.2 vs 9.9 mg/L; P < .0001). Compared to dogs with CRP < 10 mg/L, those with CRP > 10 mg/L were 5.3 times more likely to die (CI, 2.7 to 10.2) and 5.7 times (CI, 3.7 to 8.7) more likely to be hospitalized.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

In dogs with PLI > 600 µg/L, CRP > 10 mg/L was associated with increased risk of hospitalization or death. This biomarker may provide prognostic information in dogs with evidence of pancreatitis and guide decisions regarding hospitalization or referral.

The article presents results of a study made in the context of introducing bilingual instruction in Swedish and Arabic. Classroom interaction was videotaped in grades one to four at two urban schools. Based on the video material, an inventory was made of how Arabic was used by the bilingual teachers, and how it related to the corresponding Swedish content. Simplified language use, code-switching and relations between use of Arabic and Swedish were analysed with respect to potential impact on learning affordances. Results indicate that, despite the introduction of bilingual instruction, Swedish still appeared as the dominant school language. Subject matter was frequently introduced in Swedish and then translated into Arabic. Considering that the schoolchildren were bilingual, many of the translations became repetitive rather than explanatory. Arabic syntax in teacher presentations was simplified. Frequent codeswitching within utterances further contributed to simplifying both syntax and content. In other instances, however, open questions and relating written forms to their own expressions developed the pupils’ skills in Arabic. Involving the pupils’ personal experience increased engagement and motivation.

Published: December 2023

The objective was to estimate the risk and predictors of intraoperative transition from a single-stent technique of correction of bifurcation lesions of the coronary arteries to a double-stent technique.

METHODS AND MATHERIALS. The study included 49 patients (35 men – 71.4 % and 14 women – 28.6 %) with acute coronary syndrome, whose coronary angiography revealed non-stem bifurcation lesions of the coronary arteries. The patients were operated with single- (Provisional) and double- (Culotte and TAR) stent techniques. Three patients had two bifurcation lesions at once. Thus, 52 bifurcations were included in the study. The average age of patients was 62±8 years. The lateral branch was affected in 34.6 % of cases. A blood clot in the bifurcation area was visualized in 15.4 % of cases. The study is a prospective analytical one. Statistical data processing was carried out using the chi-square test. The statistically significant value was considered p<0.05.

RESULTS. In Y-type bifurcation, kissing dilation was performed in 50% of cases, and stent implantation into the lateral branch - in 23.8% of cases (47.6% of cases where kissing dilation was performed). In T-type bifurcation, kissing dilation was required in 33.3% of cases, and the transition to double-stent technique was required in 11.1% of cases (33.3% of cases where kissing dilation was performed (p=0.610)). With the initially affected lateral branch, kissing dilation was required in 88.2 % of cases, and stenting of the lateral branch was required in 47.1 % of cases (53.3% of cases where kissing dilation was performed). With an intact lateral branch, kissing dilation was required in 26.5 % of cases, the second stent was needed in 8.8 % of cases (33.3% of cases where kissing dilation was performed (p<0.001)). In the presence of a blood clot in the bifurcation area, the need for kissing dilation appeared in 75% of cases, and the need for double-stent technique – in 12.5% of cases (20% of cases where kissing dilation was performed).

CONCLUSIONS. When using the Provisional techniques, the kissing dilation was required in 47.1 % of cases. Expansion of the scope of surgical intervention to double-stent technique was required in 21.6 % of cases.

Published: December 2023

The OBJECTIVE was choose an informative, convenient and accessible in clinical practice index for assessing the level of endogenous intoxication associated with a bacterial infection.

METHODS AND MATERIALS. In the groups of patients with surgical inflammatory bacterial diseases (104 people), with intracellular non-bacterial infection (254 people), and in healthy people (94 people), the degree of LII correlation according to Kalf-Kalif (as a "standard" of indices) was compared with more simple and easy-to-calculate indices: LII according to Ostrovsky, simplified LII according to Ostrovsky ¬ without taking into account plasma cells (sLII according to Ostrovsky), the blood leukocyte shift index according to Yabluchansky, the Harkavy index and the Krebs index.

RESULTS. Within all groups of observations, the closest correlation with LII according to Kalf-Kalif was established for LII according to Ostrovsky, slightly less for LII according to Ostrovsky. The latter was chosen for further study due to the possibility of calculation based on the data of the 5diff automatic blood cell analyzer. Compared with the group of healthy people (1.34 (0.93; 1.59)) sLII according to Ostrovsky did not increase in the group of patients with intracellular non-bacterial infections (1.21 (0.82; 1.49)), moderately increased in subgroup of urological and gynecological patients with chronic local inflammatory processes (2.35 (1.49; 2.99)) and was many times higher in subgroups with acute inflammatory and destructive diseases of the abdominal organs (7.64 (2.05; 11.77 )), sepsis (8.58 (2.96; 13.29)) and septic shock (7.34 (4.07; 9.48)).

CONCLUSION. The calculation of LII according to Ostrovsky or its simplified version without taking into account plasma cells (neutrophils + immature granulocytes)/(lymphocytes + monocytes + eosinophils + basophils) is appropriate and easily applicable in wide clinical practice for assessing a bacterial infection and the development vector of an infectious process.

Perceived Urban Design Across Urban Typologies in Hanoi
Authors: Ho Thanh , Stevenson Mark , Thompson Jason
Published: December 2023

In light of the rapid global urbanization, urban design has been shown to contribute largely to promoting the health and well-being of urban citizens. However, studies of urban design are underrepresented in low- and middle-income countries in Asia, where urban forms are traditionally compact and complex with multiple layers. Hanoi, a typical city in low- and middle-income countries, exhibits five unique urban typologies generated through official planning, unregulated development, and historical fluctuations. This study examines the perceived urban design from a sample of 218 participants across five urban typologies in Hanoi using an established scale. The findings suggest that perceived urban design is significantly influenced by urban typologies. Old urban typologies tend to report higher scores of land use mix and access to services but lower scores of walking facilities and street connectivity than modern urban typologies. The study contributes to our understanding of urban design in Hanoi, providing policymakers and urban designers with essential insights for sustainable urban development.
Human intelligence for authors, reviewers and editors using artificial intelligence
Authors: Palacios Gómez Mauricio
Published: December 2023

We call artificial intelligence any machine that processes information with some purpose, complying with the logical rules of Turing's computation described more than 70 years ago.   These machines work with instructions called algorithms, a finite and well-defined sequence of information processing implemented by automata (computers) or any digital technology to optimize a process. (2) This means that the purpose of artificial intelligence is optimization.
Optimization is the ability to do or solve something in the most efficient way possible and, in the best case, using the least amount of resources. The intended optimization is programmed and preset by humans; therefore, these technologies are tools humans create for human purposes. 
The optimization capability of artificial intelligence is staggering. It is estimated that using artificial intelligence will facilitate the achievement of 134 of the 169 goals agreed in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. However, in this evaluation, it was projected that it could negatively affect the progress of 59 goals of the same agreement, being social, economic, educational, legal and gender inequality, the phenomenon most affected by artificial intelligence.
This projection shows us that it is necessary to counterbalance the development and implementation of processes mediated by artificial intelligence, to maintain reflection and question the influence of these technological tools, and, above all, to be based on human intelligence. A definition of human intelligence in the data science and artificial intelligence environment would be a collection of contextual tacit knowledge about human values, responsibility, empathy, intuition, or care for another living being that algorithms cannot describe or execute.
Academic Resilience among Indonesian College Students during the COVID-19 Pandemic: The Role of Future Orientation and Peer Support
Authors: Kumalasari Dewi
Published: December 2023

Introduction.  Students in Indonesia are known to have a low level of academic resilience; both compared to other countries in Asia and around the world. Academic resilience is influenced by various factors, including internal and external factors. This study aimed to examine the contribution of future orientation (representing internal factor) and peer support (representing external factor) simultaneously towards academic resilience.
Method.  This cross-sectional study conducted by online questionnaire, encompassed three measurement instruments: Academic Resilience Scale-Indonesian version (α =.89), Future Orientation Scale (α =.82), and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (α =.71).  A total of 303 undergraduate students were recruited for this study by accidental sampling method.  
Results.  Through multiple regression analysis, future orientation and peer support simultaneously contribute to academic resilience in Indonesian students (R2 = .46, F (2.300) = 129.415, p<.001). Regarding comparative effect, peer support contributed slightly more to academic resilience than future orientation. In addition, based on the t-test, there were significant differences in academic resilience between male and female students (t=-2.141, p=.033). Academic resilience was also significantly correlated with academic achievement as measured by GPA (r=.36, p<.001).
Discussion and Conclusion. This current study highlights that academic resilience was associated with future orientation (represent internal factor) and peer support (represent external factors (peer support) collectively. Furthermore, peer support had a slightly higher contribution towards academic resilience than future orientation. This finding can be served as a foundation for interventions to develop student academic resilience.

Published: December 2023

Background: Emergency general surgery conditions require immediate evaluation and timely resolution, even during quarantine. Objective: to analyze variations in admissions, surgical outcomes and severity of the disease in nonCOVID-19 emergency admissions during the first months of the pandemic. Secondary objectives, to performed a sub-analysis of common surgical conditions, as appendicitis, biliary tract disease, diverticulitis and complicated tumors. Material and methods: An observational, ambispective study was carried out on a prospective cohort of patients who consulted with on-call surgical pathology and required hospitalization from March 20th, 2020 until July 31, 2020 referred to as Pandemic Group (PG), analyzed and compared with the same period of 2019, Control Group (CG). Results: We experienced an increase in the number of patients admitted at the ED during the pandemic PG vs CG (346 versus 305, p 0.157). Patients in the PG were found to be significantly more ill (58.1% versus 48,8%, p 0.018). A significant delay was found globally in both, time from onset of symptoms presentation to consultation (48 hours versus 24 hours, p < 0.001), and time from diagnosis to surgery (23 hours versus 7 hours, p < 0.001) in the PG, and an increase in the mean operative time (75 versus 60 minutes, p= 0,001). There was no significant difference in postoperative complications. Conclusion: During the pandemic we observed an increase in urgent surgical procedures due to biliary pathology and gastrointestinal tumors. The patients consulted with more advanced stages of disease, but this had no impact on postoperative morbidity or mortality, demonstrating that it was possible to maintain surgical outcomes despite delayed consultation.

The composition and structure of the population of the Tyumen Districtbased on the materials of the 1926 census
Authors: Fedotova Dar'ya Yur'evna
Published: December 2023

This paper analyzes the socio-demographic processes that occurred in Tyumen Okrug in the first decade of Soviet power, recorded by the materials of the All-Union Population Census of 1926. The object of the study was the population of the Tyumen Okrug. The subject of the study is the composition and structure of the population of the specified district. Census materials provide a representation of the composition of the population, characteristics of the population by age and gender, urbanization processes, and contain data on literacy and the main occupations of citizens. The census results showed that the previous period of revolutionary upheavals and the Civil War led to changes in the population size and socio-professional composition of the population of the Tyumen Okrug. The methodological basis of the study is the principles of historicism, integrity, objectivity, and comprehensiveness. Both general scientific and traditional historical research methods are used: systematic, historical-comparative, problem-historical. In addition to traditional historical methods, the work used the method of statistical analysis, which makes it possible to assess quantitative indicators to identify the level of urbanization of the population and the dynamics of changes in gender, age, social, and professional composition. The relevance of the study is determined by the fact that demographic statistics of individual territories make it possible to study the characteristics in the size and social composition of the population, as well as to study their impact on the nature of socio-economic development of both a separate territory and the region as a whole.
Behavioral practices as a marker of the socio-cultural portrait of students of the USSR State Labor Reserves (1940s-50s)
Authors: Razinkov Sergey Lvovich
Published: December 2023

The creation of the USSR state labor reserves in 1940 was accompanied by the formation of a specific socio-cultural environment, which remains practically unexplored to this day.The purpose of the article is to determine the structure and composition of behavioral practices as an element of the official and informal portrait of students of the state labor reserves. The methodological basis of the research was the system of social actions by T. Parsons, the concepts of variability of everyday practices by A. Ludtke and the dichotomy "norm/anomaly" in Soviet everyday life by N.B. Lebina. The work used a synthesis of macro- and micro-approaches of historical research aimed at identifying behavioral practices of an individual, based on the analysis of various sources: legal acts, administrative and other official documents, personal documents.   The results of the study are: 1) identification and classification of students' behavioral practices based on the structure of social action (on individual acts, procedures and strategies of behavior), on the content of activity, frequency of application and attitude to public institutions; 2) development and description of a structural and functional model of behavioral practice containing control and correction functions (on the example of the practice of non-attendance of classes by students); 3) identification and substantiation of the features of behavioral practices from the point of view of markers of the socio-cultural portrait of students of labor reserves (interconnectedness, dynamism, dependence on the type of educational institution). The results of the research can be used in the study of everyday life and socio-cultural portrait of students in the Soviet period.

Published: December 2023

The purpose of this article is to study the history of collecting and researching the folklore of the Bashkirs of the Russian Federation, which occupies an important place in the spiritual heritage of the people. In Bashkirology, a number of articles are devoted to the historiography of Bashkir folklore, there are observations on the collection and study of folklore of a particular region in review articles about materials collected during expeditions, but there is no special study on the history of the collection and study of folklore of the Bashkirs of the Russian Federation. The subject of this research is information about the collection and research of folklore of Bashkirs compactly living in different regions away from the mother ethnic group, various studies that mention the folklore of Bashkirs of a particular region, as well as field studies of modern folklorists in the studied regions. At the stage of data collection and initial evaluation of the material, the bibliographic method was used. The methodology of end-to-end research of essay literature, journals covering the time period of the XIX and the first quarter of the XXI century was used. The methodological basis of the article is the works of domestic, including Bashkir, researchers-predecessors in the field of the history of folklore studies. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that for the first time in one study, information was collected about the collection and study of folklore of Bashkirs compactly living in seven regions of the Russian Federation. The chronological sequence traces the history of the recording of Bashkir folklore outside the Republic of Bashkortostan. It is noted that the collection and study of Bashkir folklore acquires a relatively noticeable scope and in Soviet times becomes a matter of state from the case of individual enthusiasts-amateurs, put on a solid scientific basis; the great importance of academic expeditions is emphasized. The study showed that the richness of Bashkir folklore is distinguished by the Orenburg, Kurgan, Chelyabinsk regions, that the folklore of the Chelyabinsk Bashkirs turned out to be the most studied.

In 2022, the purpose of the research was to assess a level of a positive impact of different fertilizers applied during seed sowing and as foliar fertilization of plants on yield structure of a maternal form VK1-sur A. The research was conducted at a hybridization plot in field crop rotation in the experimental seed-growing farm “Urupskoe” – a branch of the V.S. Pustovoit All-Russian Research Institute of Oil Crops. The farm is located in the Novokubansky district, the Krasnodar region, the soil is typical chernozem of the Western Ciscaucasia. In 2023, the purpose was to study sowing qualities of produced in 2022 seeds of the maternal form in progeny. The experiment scheme included three variants: 1. Control without ferilizers; 2. Foliar fertilization by Biostim maslichny (1.0 l/hа) + Ultramag bor (0.5 l/hа) in sunflower phases of 6–8 true leaves and budding, and 3. Fertilizer application (diammophos NPKS 10 : 26 : 26 : 2 in a dose of N20P39K39S3) during sowing and as foliar fertilization by microfertilizers Biostim maslichny (1.0 l/hа) + Ultramag bor (0.5 l/hа) in sunflower phases of 6–8 true leaves and budding. The results showed the significant increase comparing to the control by the indicators of the yield structure was stated only in the third variant: diameter of a head – by 3.1 cm, seed amount per a head, totally – by 747, filled seeds – by 309 pcs, seed weight per a head – by 15.0 g, including filled ones – 13.8 g. The calibration of the produced seeds on three fractions allowed increasing their indicators of physical-mechanical and sowing qualities. The best laboratory germination and healthy seeds amount were noted in middle (96 and 83%) and small (98 and 92%) fractions. The highest indicators of the field seed germination and its increase comparing to the laboratory results were stated in the third variant of the experiment. The fertilizer application on the multiplication plot of the maternal form VK1-sur A had a positive effect on the yield structure and sowing qualities of sunflower seeds.

Objectives:

Globally, stroke is known to be one of the major health problems, resulting in disability among an aging population. Rehabilitation is a process of re-learning of skills, lost due to brain injury. Many factors influence motor learning post neurological insult and practice is one of the key factors which influence relearning or reacquisition of lost motor skills. Practice can be varied concerning order (blocked or random), scheduling (massed or distributed), or whole and part practice. The study observed the effect of variations in practice schedules on motor and functional recovery.

Materials and Methods:

Thirty-two acute stroke subjects were recruited and equally divided into two groups (16 in massed and 16 in distributed). Both groups received an accelerated skill acquisition program (ASAP) for six sessions a week for 2 weeks. Pre- and post-outcome measures included stroke rehabilitation assessment of movement (STREAM) for motor recovery, modified Barthel index (MBI) for functional recovery, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) for neuroplasticity.

Results:

The median scores of participants in the massed practice group before the intervention, of STREAM total, MBI, and BDNF were 23.5, 19, and 0.65, respectively, whereas post values of STREAM total, MBI, and BDNF were 40.5, 60.5, and 0.75, respectively. The median scores of the distributed practice group of the pre-STREAM total, MBI, and BDNF were 23.5, 6.5, and 0.70, respectively, whereas the post-STREAM total, MBI, and BDNF were 41, 45.5, and 0.80, respectively. P-value was reported to be <0.05 while comparing pre- and post-values of STREAM, MBI, and BDNF within both intervention groups. The median change scores of STREAM, MBI, and BDNF reported P ≥ 0.05 when compared between the groups.

Conclusion:

Both the groups had significant recovery post-intervention designed based on ASAP, about impairment mitigation, pursuing skilled movement leading to significant functional gains. Appropriate timing along with optimal dosage became an active ingredient in functional recovery in acute stroke subjects. The distributed practice might have added effect of spacing, resulting in easier learning and accuracy of skills. The study reveals that distributed practice can be part of regular clinical practice to enhance functional recovery in acute stroke rehabilitation.
The Russian Tradition of Publishing Illuminated Bibles
Authors: Puganova Ekaterina L.
Published: December 2023

The article is devoted to the tradition of publishing engraved biblical albums in Russia (17th — early 20th centuries), made by Russian engravers after the prototypes of European engravings or after author’s drawings by graduates of the Russian Academy of Arts. Illustrated collections on the subjects of the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament based on drawings by Russian artists — A.E. Egorov, A.A. Agin, M.N. Koshelevskaya, V.S. Kryukov, V.D. Fartusov — are considered. The source material for the work were copies from large collections of graphic art: the isofond of the Russian State Library, the Museum of Christian Art “Church-Archaeological Study” of the Moscow Theological Academy and the Sergiev Posad State Historical and Art Museum-Reserve, which are first introduced by the author into the scientific turnover.

At present, Western European illustrated Bibles are widely studied by specialists in various fields of scientific knowledge as a large-scale phenomenon of book culture. The ways of penetration and distribution of foreign editions in the Moscow state are studied; the search, accounting and description of copies in domestic library collections are carried out; marginalia on the pages of albums and captions to images are investigated; techniques, biographies of masters, stylistics of works and methods of copying foreign samples in Russian artistic practice are studied. At the same time, the tradition of publishing Russian illuminated Bibles, created by analogy with foreign ones, remains poorly studied.

Pre-revolutionary catalogues of Russian illustrated editions contain descriptions of Bible albums of the first half of the 19th century, while the vast array of illustrated printed matter of the second half of the century has not yet been systematised and catalogued.

The purpose of this study is to partially fill this lacuna, to restore the chronology of the appearance of the first domestic folio Bibles, and to present an overview of lithographed editions of pictures of the Sacred History of the Old and New Testament of the second half of the 19th century.
Thomas Bewick — Engraver, Publisher, Innovator
Authors: Boldyreva Irina S.
Published: December 2023

The article is devoted to the problem of revising assessment of the work of the outstanding British engraver and publisher Thomas Bewick. Traditionally, it is considered in the context of the general history of engraving development, mostly not connected with either animalistics or scientific editions. In this regard, T. Bewick’s works of artistic significance belong to natural-scientific illustrations and are used in popular science editions. The erroneous assessment of his works is associated with a widespread stereotype in which scientific illustration is considered as something of low artistic value. The purpose of this research is to study the genesis of T. Bewick’s creativity by analyzing his main works. Of particular interest is the research of the artistic features of woodcut technique, which, thanks to T. Bewick, has found a new life. It is traced the evolution of the engraver’s work from his early period to mature one. The complexity of Bewick’s talent is noted not only as an engraver of book illustrations, but also as an engraver of bookplates. The characteristic of the technique of cutting a design into hardwood cut across is given, the innovative methods thanks to which Bewick has brought this type of an engraving to a new level of book illustration are revealed. Based on the memoirs of Bewick, the author traces the history of the creation of his main books — “A General History of the Quadrupeds” and “A History of British Birds”. It is noted that illustrations by G. Buffon and H. White served as additional sources for “A History of British Birds” despite the use of his own sketches. The author analyses the illustrations and engravings from these books, which are kept in the collections of the Research and Scientific Department of Rare Books (Museum of Book) of the Russian State Library. The structural features of the brief descriptions of “A General History of the Quadrupeds” are considered. Particular attention is paid to the style of the vignettes, which present an integral part of Bewick’s creative credo. Such features of Bewick’s illustrations as realism, as well as the depiction of humorous genre scenes and jokes are revealed. The author notes that at a late stage of Bewick’s art work he rarely uses black cross-hatching, using instead combinations of the wide fields and carefully engraved white spots. The most essential features of Bewick’s engraving are revealed: the principle of “white line”, hatching with crossed and parallel lines, creation of halftones with very thin strokes and tiny dots. It is emphasized that although Bewick’s illustrations have been published in popular scientific publications, they have influenced the development of scientific illustration through their highly artistic execution. It is concluded that woodcut technique allowed to simulate the volume of an image by means of a white stroke.
Exploring aesthetic experience-based education with OECD Education2030’s future-oriented education plan of transformative Competencies
Authors:   Society for Art Education of Korea, SEOL YeonKyung
Published: December 2023

‘Transformative competency’ education reflects environmental, social, and economic changes in the global village and aims at ‘happiness of individuals and society.’ Accordingly, ethical values are important and the process is more important than the learner's identity and results. Unlike existing competency education, this can be interpreted as reflecting a ‘humanistic’ perspective and a ‘constructivist’ view of education. Accordingly, in this paper, we will examine ‘aesthetic experience-based education’ as an educational meth-od for transformative competency education. Aesthetic experience-based education allows students to ex-perience the moral experience that art activity itself provides, and provides a cognitively constructivist edu-cational environment in which learners become subjects, interpret the social and cultural background con-tained in works of art, and develop emotional and emotional knowledge. It empathizes and even enables creative activities.
