Orthodox education in youth organisations of the “first wave” emigration in the 1920‒30s
Authors: Bulatov Ivan
Published: August 2024

In Europe, in the second half of the XIX century, the first children's and youth movements were created. Their goal was the physical and moral development of young people. Moral values were instilled through Christian education. The Russian Empire was no exception, and since 1909, the scout and "potesnnie" movements began their activities in it, paying much attention to the Orthodox upbringing of their wards. In emigration, religious education became even more important. In the conditions of a foreign environment, the threat of assimilation and acculturation of Russian children increased. It was planned to resist this with a great emphasis on the study of national culture, including its religious component. Since it was not possible to cover all children in Russian schools in the scattering, more flexible children's and youth organizations became more important. In those colonies where churches existed, they participated in divine services, helped in holding Christian holidays, invited priests to classes and camps. In the richest and most numerous diasporas, such as the Parisian one, field churches in summer camps have become popular. In addition, classes on the Law of God were held in children's associations and exams were passed on knowledge of the basics of Orthodox culture, which made it possible to reach children living in remote regions. There were several main organizations that worked with children: scouts (NORS, ORYUR, NORR, ORPR), the gymnastics movement "Sokol", the national organization "Vityazi" under the Russian Student Christian Movement. All of them paid a lot of attention to religious education, although the "vityazi" were the most active in this regard. A certain indicator of the success of such work can be the fact that many children who passed through such associations later became priests and bishops.
Theoretical and methodological foundations of the pedagogical concept “tradition of the orthodox culture”
Authors: Gusakova Victoria
Published: August 2024

In the present article, the author attempts to identify and substantiate the theoretical and methodological foundations of the pedagogical concept of the tradition of Orthodox culture. The article substantiates the relevance of the stated topic by the close attention of the Russian Orthodox Church and the policy pursued by the President of the Russian Federation V. V. Putin.The works of domestic and foreign scientists who paid close attention to the study of the phenomenon of "tradition" and defined the concept of "tradition" are analyzed. In the article, these concepts are considered in relation to educational practice, namely the process of designing classes on spiritual and moral education. The expected results of such classes are indicated. The definitions of tradition given in the article are summarized. On this basis, the pedagogical concept of "traditions of Orthodox culture" is formulated.The article considers the traditions of Orthodox culture as a cultural and historical way of life of a certain group of people and the people as a whole, which preserves, transmits and reproduces in rituals and rituals, habits and skills, goal-setting and experience: moral categories of good and evil, spiritual and material values, examples and guidelines for moral choice and value self-determination; defines the ideal of personality and the means to achieve it, the foundations of unity and the rules of interpersonal relations, behavioral stereotypes and human ideas about the world, human life, people; reflected in scientific and creative human activity.The stages of entry into the tradition by a student are indicated from the lowest – the recognition of values, to the highest, at which the student builds a life strategy of his life path. The main conclusion of the article was the position that the theoretical and methodological foundations of the pedagogical concept of "traditions of Orthodox culture" are rooted in the "spiritual practice" of Orthodoxy - the experience of knowledge of God and, as a result, knowledge of the world and self–knowledge.

The analysis of the stock of the Republican scientific-technical library
Authors: Janulevičienė Alma
Published: August 2024

Nowadays, the investigation of the questions of the scientific management of library stocks has gained great urgency (increased in importance). The tasks of increasing the efficiency of the formation and usage of library stocks highlight the necessity for systematic research into their peculiarities and tendencies of development.
This article analyzes the peculiarities and tendencies of the development of the stocks of the Republican Scientific-Technical Library of Lithuania's Scientific-Research Institute of Scientific-Technical Information and Technical-Economic Research. The multifaceted research of the stocks should enable the improvement of library processes and information-bibliography services.
The research carried out allows for the following conclusions:

The Republican Scientific-Technical Library, by volume of stocks, is the largest library among scientific libraries of the republic. Its stocks total 40.4 percent of the whole stock of the United Republican Information Stock (URIS).
The library is the main library in URIS, which organizes the stocks of special documentation and literature. A peculiarity of the stock is that special technical documentation and literature have predominated in the stock since 1970, totaling approximately 90.1 percent of the entire stock.
The basic stocks are in the Republican Scientific-Technical Library in Vilnius, which total 87.6 percent of the entire stock.
The superextensive growth of the special technical documentation and literature during 1967-1970 is accounted for by the organization of the departments of patents and technical documentation (as per the decision of the Council of Ministers of Lithuania).
At present, the growth of the stock has stabilized. Every year during 1975-1982, the library received an average of 850.2 thousand documents.
The growth of the quantity of the stocks, completion on the whole, and the growth of the stocks of special kinds of scientific-technical literature and documentation may be defined by a mathematical curve, which shows that from a certain moment, the speed of the growth of the volume of the stocks slows down due to limited resources.
The problem of the relations between the science and the subject-matter of education in the higher education of librarians and bibliographers
Authors: Gudauskas Renaldas
Published: August 2024

The subject-matter of education is one of the main elements of the didactic system. The correct determination of the main subject-matter of education enables the achievement of educational goals. Education and higher education are closely interconnected. However, one of the main problems in professional pedagogy—the relationship between science and the subject-matter of education—has not yet been fully resolved. This problem is particularly urgent in the training of skilled librarians and bibliographers because library and bibliography sciences are relatively young and rapidly developing.
The author asserts that it is necessary to create a special theory of higher education in librarianship and bibliography, which would allow for the improvement of this field according to the latest tendencies in the development of library and bibliography sciences, informatics, and the science of the book. It is essential to analyze the logical structure of these sciences, to identify their main components and methods that influence the construction of corresponding branches of education.
The author proposes a preliminary solution to this problem.
Litauische Bücher in den Katalogen der Bibliotheken Klein Litauens
Authors: Kaunas Domas
Published: August 2024

Im Artikel sind 18 handschriftliche und gedruckte Kataloge behandelt. In den bis zum Ersten Weltkrieg zusammengestellten Katalogen sind etwa 1.500 Bücher und 40 Periodika eingetragen, darunter aus den Jahren 1919–1939 über 4.000 Druckschriften in der litauischen Sprache. Wie die Kataloge zeigen, konzentrierte sich das litauische Buch in den Kultur- und Verwaltungszentren Kleinlitauens – in Insterburg, Königsberg, Memel und Tilsit. Am reichsten waren die Bibliotheken der Gesellschaften und die wissenschaftlichen Bibliotheken. Wegen der nationalen Diskriminierungspolitik verhinderte die Regierung Deutschlands den Zutritt der litauischen Bücher in die öffentlichen Bibliotheken. Große Bedeutung als bibliographische Quellen haben die Kataloge folgender Bibliotheken: Stadtbibliothek zu Tilsit, Bibliothek der Königlichen Regierung zu Gumbinnen, Bibliothek der Gesellschaft „Sandora“ und der Bibliothek der Altertumsgesellschaft zu Insterburg. Die Kataloge zeigen geographische und quantitative Verbreitung der litauischen Bücher. Sie müssen ausführlicher erforscht und für die nationale retrospektive litauische Bibliographie genutzt werden.

Antropoceno e meio ambiente em arena
Authors: Figueirêdo Ferdinando de Oliveira
Published: August 2024

O presente artigo pretende apresentar uma leitura ecocrítica do primeiro volume da trilogia Jogos vorazes, da escritora norte-americana Suzanne Collins, a fim de analisar a questão do Antropoceno e a questão ambiental como fatores influentes na composição narrativa. O termo “Antropoceno” tem como gênesis o ano de 1995, com a proposição do cientista holandês Paul Crutzen sobre as alterações ambientais averiguadas nas últimas décadas, atribuindo-as como fatores resultantes dos atos humanos sobre o planeta Terra e seu ciclo natural. Portanto, a referida nomenclatura conceitua a era atual vigente e, por meio dos Estudos Ecocrítícos aplicados às artes – especialmente na literatura –, essa temática é tocante no que diz respeito ao protagonismo inconsequente desempenhado pelo homem em vista de seu crescimento político, social e econômico, o que permite observar tal postura como uma expressão dos anseios capitalistas da contemporaneidade. Por sua vez, o texto literário distópico potencializa essa interpretação pela sua proposta de ilustrar um mundo negativo e gerenciado por atos humanos individualistas a ponto de transformar o meio ambiente e os seres que o povoam em objetos manipuláveis por ordens totalitaristas. Logo, esta pesquisa é de cunho qualitativo e de natureza bibliográfica, desenvolvida a partir de contribuições de teóricos que discutem o Antropoceno, como Jedediah Purdy (2015), Jan Jagodzinski (2018), Anne Fremaux (2019), etc. Mediante este estudo, observou-se que Jogos Vorazes confirma a predominância de um cenário cada vez mais real e questionável ao expor um panorama sujeito aos ideais humanos de progresso, ao uso irresponsável dos bens naturais e por submeter os próprios indivíduos a valores que favoreçam o regime instaurado pelas classes mais desenvolvidas.
Effect of middle stud on ultimate strength and behavior factor of brick masonry shear wall in cold formed steel frame
Authors: Esmaili-Tafti Mohammad Ali , Javaheri-Tafti Mohammad Reza , Fallah Ahmad Ali
Published: August 2024

Lightweight steel framing is one of the modern construction technology systems. This system is mostly used for low to mid-rise buildings. The lightweight steel framing system has many advantages, including lightness, ease of installation, high execution speed, and being more cost-efficient. Since the manufacturers of cold formed steel frames use bricks in an unprincipled way to cover these structures and because of less laboratory research in this regard, in the present research to principled use of this structure, the effect of the middle stud was evaluated on seismic behavior of brick shear wall in cold formed steel frame with brick face. For this purpose, four cold formed steel frames were made in two different configurations (without middle stud and with middle stud) using cement sand mortar, wire mesh, and brick shear walls. Based on the results, the middle stud would cause weakness in the permissible deformation of the brick walls, and in shear walls without middle stud, deformations occur along with the acquisition of resistance to larger deformations. Accordingly, the presence of the middle stud increases the average shear strength by 30%, and this increase in resistance causes a decrease in the behavior factor and ductility of the walls, which practically indicates the seismic behavior of the frames with the middle stud.
Should I run the code or preach the gospel?: a qualitative reflection of Christian critical-care doctors and nurses
Authors: Supit Alva
Published: August 2024

Doctors and nurses are bound to their oath: to serve the patients and provide them with the highest standard of professional care. However, as every medical personnel will understand, there are times when, despite best efforts, the patient is still dying in their duty shift. Dying is a human thing, and medical workers are more familiar with this than anyone else ever. But then, there are Christian medical workers. Christians are called to share their faith. But when?--or rather, when else? The patient is now critical, and it is unknown where the precious soul is going based on their faith. When the patient–who, based on the medical personnel’s best knowledge, does not know the Savior–finally dies, Christian medical caregivers may feel devastated: they may think they just lost the patient here on earth and there in eternity. This research aimed to identify the potential stress among Christian medical workers due to their inability to save terminal/critical patients and not having the chance or courage to share the gospel.

List equitable coloring of planar graphs without $4$- and $6$-cycles when $\Delta(G)=5$
Authors: Dong Aijun
Published: August 2024

A graph $G$ is $k$ list equitably colorable, if for any given $k$-uniform list assignment $L$, $G$ is $L$-colorable and each color appears on at most $\lceil\frac{|V(G)|}{k}\rceil$ vertices. In 2009, Li and Bu obtained that for planar graph $G$, if $\Delta(G)\geq6$ and without $4$- and $6$-cycles, then $G$ is $\Delta(G)$ list equitably colorable. In order to further prove the conjecture of list equitable coloring, in this paper, we focus on planar graph with $\Delta(G)=5$, and prove that if $G$ is a planar graph without $4$- and $6$-cycles, then $G$ is $\Delta(G)$ list equitably colorable.

Published: August 2024

Accurate identification of cattle is essential for monitoring ownership, controlling production supply, preventing disease, and ensuring animal welfare. Despite the widespread use of ear tag-based techniques in livestock farm management, large-scale farms encounter challenges in identifying individual cattle. The process of identifying individual animals can be hindered by ear tags that fall off, and the ability to identify them over a long period of time becomes impossible when tags are missing. A dataset was generated by capturing images of cattle in their native environment to tackle this issue. The dataset was divided into three segments: training, validation, and testing. The dataset consisted of 15 000 records, each pertaining to a distinct bovine specimen from a total of 30 different cattle. To identify specific cattle faces in this study, deep learning algorithms such as InceptionResNetV2, MobileNetV2, DenseNet201, Xception, and NasNetLarge were utilized. The DenseNet201 algorithm attained a peak test accuracy of 99.53% and a validation accuracy of 99.83%. Additionally, this study introduces a novel approach that integrates advanced image processing techniques with deep learning, providing a robust framework that can potentially be applied to other domains of animal identification, thus enhancing overall farm management and biosecurity.
ATIVIDADE ANTIMICROBIANA DE Schinus terebinthifolia Raddi METRONIDAZOL, CLINDAMICINA E CONTRA Lactobacillus gasseri Lauer and Kandler, IN VITRO, E SUAS IMPLICAÇÕES NA VAGINOSE BACTERIANA RECIDIVANTE

Published: August 2024

A vaginose bacteriana (VB) é muito prevalente e é a causa mais comum de corrimento vaginal em todo o mundo. Trata-se de uma disbiose resultante da substituição dos lactobacilos produtores de peróxido de hidrogênio e ácido lático por bactérias anaeróbicas em altas concentrações, incluindo Gardnerella vaginalis, Prevotella, Mobiluncus, Atopobium e outros anaeróbios. A VB pode ser autodiagnosticada, quando a paciente apresenta a sintomatologia clássica, ou clínica e laboratorialmente obedecendo aos critérios de Amsel ou pela determinação do escore de Nugent. Os tratamentos recomendados para a VB são o Metronidazol, o Secnidazol e o Tinidazol por via oral, bem como o metronidazol gel, a clindamicina creme e o gel de S. terebinthifolia Raddi por via vaginal. O presente estudo teve por objetivo determinar a capacidade da Clindamicina creme vaginal, do Metronidazol gel vaginal e do S. terebinthifolia Raddi gel vaginal em inibir o crescimento ou preservar a população dos microrganismos Lactobacillus gasseri ATCC 19992 in vitro. A metodologia utilizada foi de perfuração em placa, formando poços de 6mm, onde as amostras foram inoculadas. As placas foram incubadas por 48 horas à temperatura de 30°C. A análise visual das placas, após o período de incubação, evidenciou que L. gasseri é resistente ao gel vaginal de S. terenbithifolia Raddi gel, uma vez que não foi observado qualquer halo de inibição. Contudo, L. gasseri foi moderadamente susceptível ao gel vaginal de Metronidazol e altamente sensível ao creme vaginal de Clindamicina. Como os lactobacilos, dos quais se destaca L. gasseri, representam acima de 95% dos microrganismos que habitam o meio vaginal, mantendo a higidez desse microbioma, a ação da Clindamicina e do Metronidazol pode levar ao desequilíbrio da microbiota vaginal, permitindo as recidivas quando esses agentes terapêuticos são usados para o tratamento da VB.

Mobilization of radical right movements in Central and Eastern Europe between 2008 and 2016
Authors: Caiani Manuela , Płatek Daniel , Piotrowski Grzegorz
Published: August 2024

The radical right is on the rise all over Europe and beyond, either in terms of electoral success or activities outside the institutional arena, especially after the 2015 refugee crisis. Central and Eastern European countries are no exception, although not yet closely studied for radical right social movements and protest. In this article we investigate the degree and characteristics of the mobilisation of different types of radical right organisations (political parties and social movements alike) in Central and Eastern Europe to capture a broader picture of the current developments in radical right politics beyond elections and electoral campaign periods. By focusing on four countries (Czechia, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia), and combining qualitative and quantitative data derived from a protest event analysis reported in newspaper articles between 2008 and 2016 (for a total of 1587 events coded), we analyse the radical right mobilisation (i.e. intensity and degree of radicalism), linking it to the political opportunities and the organisational features of the groups mobilising. We argue that the radical right is using a very broad repertoire of action, beyond violence and the electoral arena, including expressive and symbolic strategies, as well as the use of new technologies like the Internet. We also stress that for the radical right, as for the leftwing social movements, the analytical framework of political opportunities and a resource mobilisation approach can help in explaining their mobilisation.
The voice of irregular migrants : A mixed-method study exploring the migration process of Iranian asylum seekers to Europe
Authors: Faranak Gholampour , Simonovits Borbala
Published: August 2024

After nearly four decades of irregular movement of Iranian nationals worldwide, we have much to learn about their motivations for leaving Iran and choosing their destination countries. This paper investigates the main factors that influenced Iranian asylum seekers to leave Iran in an irregular way. Our quantitative survey was conducted online, relying on a convenience sample of Iranian asylum seekers (n=241) who filled out the survey, which was spread on social media applications. We found that the main factors pushing people to leave Iran were related to the lack of social freedom (81 per cent), economic issues (76 per cent), and the lack of job security (71 per cent). Likewise, secure economic conditions (81 per cent), social freedom (76 per cent), and the availability of job opportunities (70 per cent) were the main factors that pulled people to their destination countries. We found that participants have effectively adapted to the healthcare system, language, and weather of destination countries, and they expect to have freedom in Europe and improve the quality of life of their loved ones, including their offspring.
Hungarian administrative processes in the digital age : An attempt to a comprehensive examination
Authors: Csatlós Erzsébet
Published: August 2024

In a world of sustainable development where digitalisation is among the priorities of all states, the question arises how digital Hungarian public administrative procedure is. The study aims to give an overall insight into the state of affairs in Hungary in individual cases and explore the level of digitalisation by exploring statistics on the clients’ habits on the usage of the available digital public service on one hand, just to see how it appears in their everyday, and the level of automatisation in decision-making on the other, from the aspect of the authority. As a result, when assessing the extent of digital public services in Hungary, the focus tends to concentrate on levels 1–3, and possibly level 4, of digital public services according to a five-stages chart settled as a goal by the European Union in 2002 and also used as reference in the Hungarian Act on e-public administrative services. Numbers demonstrate that the utilization of digital public services, despite their availability, is not as widespread among people as it could be. Also, the study enumerates the emergence of automated decision-making by establishing categories based on the examples found in the very few normative regulations to offer a picture of the status of digitalisation of the Hungarian administrative proceedings. While complete automation is still a distant goal, rapid technological advancements and innovations are pushing the legal framework to keep up.

USDA LTAR Common Experiment measurement: Post-processing of spatial grain yield data v1
Authors: K. Owen Olivia
Published: August 2024

This protocol provides general recommendations for in-field data collection and detailed methods for post-processing grain yield data. Grain yield is an important measurement for evaluating and comparing the overall economic productivity of cropping systems. Collecting yield data using manual methods of point samples or obtaining average yields over an experimental area (e.g., with a weigh wagon) provides basic information regarding the cropping system. However, additional information about productivity with respect to soil and landscape variability can be obtained if spatial yield data are collected. This process is facilitated by equipping the combine with a grain yield monitor that allows for the collection of continuous yield data. Maps are then produced from yield monitor data; however, errors will arise from combine operation, yield monitor performance, and/or crop conditions. The raw data must be edited or “cleaned” to provide more accurate yield values. Clean yield data provide researchers and farmers with information that reveals spatial patterns due to soil type, water availability, and field traffic patterns while enabling the alignment of grain yields with in-season point measurements. The process for obtaining high-quality yield monitor data consists of two steps: (1) in-field data collection and (2) post-processing for cleaning, formatting, and assessing yield data. Monitors in the combine collect a wide range of data such as location coordinates, machine speed, grain flow rate, and grain moisture. Ag Leader Integra and John Deere Greenstar are two common brands of yield monitors used within the LTAR network. For post-processing, data are either transferred wirelessly or exported via a USB drive and then imported into a program such as Ag Leader SMS or USDA ARS Yield Editor (Sudduth and Drummond 2007; Sudduth et al. 2012). Using the software, data are reviewed, removed, or edited as a part of the cleaning process to provide accurate data. A survey of the LTAR sites in 2022 showed four sites using Ag Leader SMS software for post-processing, three using John Deere software, and three using USDA ARS Yield Editor software. This protocol applies to combine yield data for grain crops, including corn, soybean, wheat, and oat. Procedures for non-grain crops such as cotton, peanut, and forages are expected to vary slightly.

Sternoclavicular joint-Targeted External jugular venipuncture Method (STEM) v1
Authors: Yamauchi Suguru
Published: August 2024

Vascular access in mice is a cornerstone of biomedical research, with peripheral venous approaches like the lateral tail vein, retrobulbar venous sinus, facial vein, and saphenous vein being common. However, central venous approaches are challenging due to animal size and required expertise. To address this, we developed the Sternoclavicular joint-Targeted External jugular veniMouse, Venipuncture, Blood collection, Blood sampling, Intravenous injection, Intravenous administration, Vascular access, Blood access, Central vein, Jugular vein, External jugular vein, Sternoclavicular jointpuncture Method (STEM). This technique provides reliable, longitudinal vascular access for frequent blood sampling using palpable surface anatomy landmarks. Moreover, STEM eliminates the need for fur shaving, specialized restraints, or deep sedation, allowing a single operator to perform the procedure safely and efficiently. Our protocol, based on a comprehensive anatomical analysis, revealed that the external jugular vein in mice traverses anteriorly to the clavicle before draining into the subclavian vein - a key anatomical difference from humans. This finding enabled a refined technique using the sternoclavicular joint as a landmark, improving the success and reproducibility of central venous access. Finally, STEM facilitates efficient blood collection and accurate intravenous administration with minimal setup time. It is straightforward and easily replicable, allowing researchers of all expertise levels to achieve high precision and reproducibility. The simplified learning process and consistent results make STEM valuable for various mouse-based experiments in biomedical research.

Published: August 2024

Epifluorescence microscopy (EFM) has been the gold standard method for environmental viral enumeration for over 25 years. Currently, standard EFM methods using the Anodisc filters are no longer cost-effective (>$15 per slide). We present a cost-effective method for environmental viral enumeration from aquatic samples, microbial mats, and exopolymeric substances (EPSs) within modern microbialites using EFM. Our integrated approach, which includes filtration, differential centrifugation, chloroform treatment, glutaraldehyde fixation, benzonase nuclease treatment, probe sonication (EPS and mat only), SYBR Gold staining, wet mounting, and imaging, provides a robust method for modern microbialites and aquatic samples. Our method provides a robust and cost-effective (~$0.75 per sample) viral enumeration within modern microbialites and aquatic ecosystems.

Using the methods of optical spectrometry and IR spectroscopy, the processes of self-assembly of nano- and microstructures of zinc oxide in combined sol-gel systems obtained by mixing film-forming sols with different maturation times were studied. Characteristic bands and absorption peaks in the IR spectra were established, demonstrating an unambiguous relationship between the IR transmittance — radiation and maturation time for different volumetric ratios of mixed sols. It has been shown that experimental IR spectroscopy data correlate with optical spectrometry data in the visible and UV radiation range. The correspondence of ZnO films formed on the basis of combined sol-gel systems to the tasks of nanostructural engineering has been demonstrated.

Backgrounds/Aims: The treatment landscape for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has significantly evolved over the past decade. We aimed to analyze trends in treatment patterns for HCC using a nationwide claims database from the Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service.Methods: This retrospective population-based cohort study analyzed 171,002 newly diagnosed HCC patients between 2008 and 2022. Etiologies and treatment modalities were categorized based on the ICD-10 codes and insurance data.Results: The annual incidence decreased from 11,814 in 2008 to 10,443 in 2022. However, patients aged ≥70 increased noticeably, with those aged ≥80 rising from 3.8% in 2008 to 13.1% in 2022. From 2008 to 2022, the predominant cause of hepatitis B virus decreased from 68.9% to 59.7%, whereas nonalcoholic fatty liver disease increased from 8.9% to 15.8%. The initial treatment trends shifted: surgical resection and systemic therapy increased from 12.2% to 21.3% and from 0.2% to 9.6%, whereas transarterial therapy decreased from 49.9% to 36.6%. Best supportive care decreased from 31.7% to 21.3%. In the subgroup analysis, laparoscopic resection rate increased from 10.6% to 60.6% among the surgical resections. Sorafenib initially accounted for 100%, lenvatinib peaked at 36.5% in 2021, and atezolizumab-bevacizumab became the most widely used (63.1%) by 2022 among the systemic therapies.Conclusions: This study demonstrates the temporal changes in the treatment patterns of Korean HCC patients. Surgical resection, particularly laparoscopic liver resection, and systemic therapy has increased significantly. These changes may have been influenced by reimbursement policies and advances in clinical research.
