ATTRIBUTION OF THE CONCEPT “MEMORY” IN M. TSVETAEVA’S TEXTS
Authors: Gubanov Sergey A.
Published: January 2025

The study deals with the problems of attributive representation of the concept “memory” in M. Tsvetaeva’s texts. The article carries out the results of cognitive-semantic analysis of epithet word usages of memory in the poet’s texts and the Dictionary of Epithets of the Russian Literary Language. It has been established that M. Tsvetaeva’s individual style is characterized by the construction of occasional epithets, a violation of the lexical compatibility of customary definitions with the defined word “memory”. It shows that the specificity of the attribution of this concept is associated with individual emotive connotations, which is expressed in a non-standard epithet expression of the qualities of the concept “memory” and its manifestations.
LINGUISTIC ECONOMY AS A WAY OF OPTIMISATION COMMUNICATIVE INTERACTION (BASED ON THE MATERIAL OF GERMAN LINGUOCULTURE)
Authors: Gazizov Rafael A. , Muryasov Rakhim Z.
Published: January 2025

Linguistic economy is one of the ways how to optimise the communication process, aimed at achieving successful communication. As a result of a pragmalinguistic analysis of the functioning of the principle of linguistic economy, the main means of optimization used by the Germans in SMS communication were identified at all levels of the language system. The phonemic level is represented by cases of reduction of final vowels and consonants. At the morphemic level, truncating of word-forming and inflectional affixes is used. Lexical optimization methods include univerbation, abbreviation, and the use of borrowed words. In turn, ellipses are syntactic means of linguistic economy.
The Battle of Nations in the Coverage of the British Press
Authors: Egorov Aleksandr A. , Pashchenko Eduard K.
Published: January 2025

The coverage of the Battle of the Nations (the Battle of Leipzig on October 16-19, 1813) in the English press is analyzed. As a result of the battle, which took place on the territory of Saxony, the army of the French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte was defeated by the allied armies of Russia, Austria, Prussia and Sweden. By the beginning of the battle, Napoleon had up to 175 thousand men and 717 guns, the allies had about 200 thousand men and 893 guns. The losses of the Grand Army following the Battle of Leipzig were: 60 thousand killed and wounded, 30 thousand captured, including 20 generals. 325 guns went to the allies as trophies. Among the dead was Marshal Poniatowski, who received the marshal's baton on the eve of the battle. The article examines the main publications that covered this historic event in detail and highlights the prevailing mood in British society at the time. An important source of information for English newspapermen was the dispatch of General Sir Charles Stuart to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the United Kingdom, R. Castlereagh. The English press enthusiastically described Napoleon's defeat, emphasizing the importance of the battle for the fate of all of Europe. However, despite the triumphal headlines and optimistic conclusions of journalists, some facts that made it into the newspapers were distorted or overly dramatized. The article illustrates how the British press shaped public opinion about the event, emphasizing its significance for the further course of the Napoleonic Wars and the future of European states.

The Role of Anwar Sadat in the Deterioration of Soviet-Egyptian Relations in 1971 - First Half of 1972 (According to Memoirs)
Authors: Podolnikov Vladimir P.
Published: January 2025

The article examines the history of the deterioration of Soviet-Egyptian relations in 1971 - first half of 1972, based on the memoirs of Soviet and Egyptian politicians and diplomats. It emphasizes the subjective nature of this process, stemming from the ideological and political views of the new Egyptian president, who made a firm decision to change the foreign policy vector of his state from pro-Soviet to pro-Western. It shows the methods of implementing Sadat's new course, aimed at complicating bilateral relations: provocative rumors about Soviet military aid to Egypt, spread not without the president's knowledge, and often on his personal initiative; unjustifiably inflated, and sometimes unrealistic claims about the quality and quantity of military technology and equipment supplied from the USSR; petty and far-fetched quibbles with the work of Soviet military specialists in Egypt; unfounded reproaches about insufficient support on foreign policy issues. The true purpose of these actions by the Egyptian leadership is revealed, aimed at creating a negative image of the Soviet Union and its role in strengthening the country's defense capability and Egypt's political influence in international politics.
Understanding of Proletarian Internationalism in the Documents of the All-Union Leninist Communist Youth Union in 1950-1960s
Authors: Taltangov Levent
Published: January 2025

Khrushchev's interpretation of proletarian internationalism coincided with the expectations of the Soviet people and youth 40 years after the October Revolution in achieving its goals and objectives. The “calmingˮ moods in the USSR contributed significantly to the fragmentation of the world communist movement. The change in the terminology of the party documents of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the All-Union Leninist Communist Youth Union reflected this process. The short-lived radical moods among Soviet youth in the mid-1960s declined in the early 1970s. The fulfillment of the international duty by Soviet youth was reduced to establishing contacts with all youth organizations of the world, regardless of class and political position, and internationalism itself meant nothing more than advertising the achievements of the Soviet country.

Published: January 2025

A recente onda de eletrificação dos meios de transporte tem exigido a aplicação de máquinas elétricas com acionamentos mais sofisticados com rápida resposta dinâmica e robustez. Nesse contexto, os motores de indução (MI) ainda são uma boa solução, especialmente pela sua simplicidade construtiva. Entre as estratégias de controle mais recentes para essas máquinas, destaca-se o controle preditivo. Este artigo compara três métodos de controle preditivo de corrente: o Finite Control Set Clássico (PCC, do inglês Predictive Current Control), o Robusto Deadbeat (RPCC-Deadbeat) e o Robusto utilizando ação integral em tempo discreto (RPCC-DTIA). Estes controladores são promissores por sua resposta dinâmica rápida, flexibilidade e inclusão de não linearidades. Resultados obtidos em bancada experimental comparam o desempenho do PCC, RPCC-Deadbeat e RPCC-DTIA. As análises demonstram as diferenças entre as estratégias por meio de respostas dinâmicas e de regime, avaliando o comportamento dos controladores frente a variações de parâmetros da máquina, como resistência e indutância.

Published: January 2025

Background: Wheat, a vital food crop, is increasingly threatened by heat stress due to climate change. This significantly impacts yields and grain quality. India, a major wheat producer, urgently needs heat tolerant varieties and late sown wheat is particularly susceptible to terminal heat stress. This study aimed to identify diverse heat tolerant genotypes among evaluated genotypes that can be used in further breeding programs. Methods: The study investigated genetic diversity in 29 wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes under timely and late sown environments at DRPCAU, Bihar during rabi 2020-21 by employing 11 morpho-physiological traits in Randomized Block Design. Multivariate approaches such as principal component analysis, genotype by trait biplot and cluster analysis were employed to categorize and identify the genotypes with desirable traits for heat tolerance. Result: Our study revealed a significant negative correlation between grain yield per plant and canopy temperature. Cluster analysis categorized genotypes into distinct groups under both timely and late sown conditions. The identified diverse lines from these clusters, exhibiting desirable traits, hold significant potential as parents for future breeding programs, emphasizing the crucial role of heat tolerance in wheat improvement.

Burundi - Projet "Production de bois d'œuvre". Reboisement de 3.200 ha du Mumirwa
Authors: Blanchez Jean-Louis , Fabre-Teste Patrick
Published: January 2025

Ce pays est situé à une altitude élevée (1.500 mètres), la crête Zaïre-Nil étant son relief le plus remarquable. Sa topographie est mouvementée (on l'appelle « le pays des mille collines »). La population est généralement élevée, bien que les habitations soient dispersées. L'agriculture est l'activité principale. Le projet décrit ici avait pour but de protéger les bassins versants des rivières qui alimentent le périmètre rizier de la plaine de la Ruzizi et de produire rapidement du bois d'œuvre.Les principales phases de ce boisement de 3.200 hectares sont passées en revue, depuis le choix des essences et des techniques sylvicoles pour la production des plants et leur plantation jusqu'à leur entretien ultérieur.Les auteurs insistent sur l'aspect humain et social du projet : la forêt sera « humaine » et pénétrable. Bien qu'elle ait pris du terrain, celui-ci sera compensé par une activité rémunératrice. La vie animale qui fait partie du milieu rural burundais sera intégrée dans la forêt. Dans 25 ans, lorsque la forêt aura été exploitée, il sera possible d'évaluer encore mieux la réussite du projet.
Attaque d'un échantillon de Terminalia superba par des pourritures sélectionnées. Influence sur les caractéristiques chimiques et papetières du bois (Pourritures cubiques - Pourritures fibreuses - Pourritures molles)
Authors: Doat Jacqueline , Tissot Marcel
Published: January 2025

Pendant le stockage, le bois peut être endommagé par diverses formes de pourriture. Nous avons étudié l'effet sur Terminalia superba (Limba) de deux champignons causant la pourriture cubique (Antrodia sp.), de deux champignons causant la pourriture fibreuse (Lentinus squarrosulus et Coriolopsis polyzona), et de deux champignons causant la pourriture molle (Chaetomium globosum et Phialophora richardsiae). Leur effet néfaste diminue dans cet ordre. Dans le cas de la pourriture brune et de la pourriture blanche, on observe une perte en carbohydrates et en lignine. Les extraits diminuent d'abord, puis augmentent au fur et à mesure que l'attaque se poursuit. La racine molle entraîne une perte de substances extractibles.En ce qui concerne la fabrication du papier, ces champignons provoquent une baisse de rendement accompagnée d’un affaiblissement des caractéristiques mécaniques des pâtes, d'autant plus marquée que le bois d'origine est attaqué par les champignons.Pour ces raisons, le plus grand soin doit être apporté au stockage de longue durée du bois dans les zones tropicales.

Significant advancements have been made in developing high-performance cathode materials for aqueous ZIBs, which exhibit enhanced lifespan and energy density. However, challenges associated with zinc anodes, such as dendrite formation and side reactions, impede the practical application of ZIBs. This manuscript discusses the role of electrolyte additives in the Zn electrodeposition process and comprehensively describes strategies to enhance the anode stability through additive incorporation. It specifically focuses on the underlying mechanisms that regulate the solvation structure and the electrical double layer. Finally, the manuscript concludes with future perspectives on advancing Zn anode technology, aiming to provide guidelines for developing more robust Zn-based energy storage systems.
Recent clinical and molecular findings in low-grade serous ovarian carcinoma including prospects for personalized medicine using cancer organoids
Authors: Nakayama Kentaro , Ishibashi Tomoka , Ishikawa Masako , Kyo Satoru
Published: January 2025

Low-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (LGSOC), classified as a type I ovarian cancer, develops from serous cystadenoma (SCA) through a serous borderline tumor (SBT). Reports on the oncogenesis of LGSOC have been primarily conducted in Western countries, with no reports from Japan. The authors have initiated comprehensive research on LGSOC, which was prompted by a case of LGSOC pathologically associated with SCA and SBT that are considered as precancerous lesions. In this case, the genetic mutations commonly reported in the West, including KRAS/BRAF abnormalities, were not observed. Therefore, the authors focused on the genetic analysis of Japanese LGSOC and SBT and found a high frequency of PIK3CA mutations, with a rare occurrence of KRAS/BRAF mutations. To elucidate the oncogenic mechanism of LGSOC, the authors established immortalized SCA cells and successfully constructed an in vitro LGSOC oncogenesis model by introducing oncogenes based on the aforementioned data. Furthermore, LGSOC with PIK3CA mutations were found to have a significantly higher frequency of estrogen receptor (ER) expression. As a result, the ER antagonist fulvestrant was shown to be effective. This review also introduces developments in personalized medicine using LGSOC organoids.

Published: January 2025

Epithelial ovarian cancer remains the lethal gynecological malignancy in women, since most patients are diagnosed with advanced disease. Although many clinical trials for its early detection have been conducted, the consensus is that screening of ovarian cancer does not reduce the mortality rate and is not recommended in asymptomatic women. In the meantime, however, there is an accumulation of data about the natural history of ovarian cancer development, its biological heterogeneity according to the histological types, the novel discovery of the precursor lesions, and the additional analyses of clinical trials, all of which suggest that annual screening with CA125 and transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) might be useful for achieving the significant stage shift of ovarian cancer and improving treatment outcomes among the patients who received annual screening. In this narrative review, therefore, we present the long and winding history of clinical trials of ovarian cancer screening and consider where we stand now, reassessing the value of annual screening with CA125 and TVUS for better healthcare of women. Finally, we discuss the future perspective of ovarian cancer screening using novel biomarkers.

Published: January 2025

Obtaining high-quality 3D reconstructions from electron tomography of crystalline particles embedded in lighter support elements is crucial for various material systems such as catalysts for fuel cell applications. However, significant challenges arise due to the limited tilt range, sparse and low signal-to-noise ratio of the measurements. In addition, small metal particles can cause strong streaking and shading artifacts in the 3D reconstructions when using conventional reconstruction algorithms due to the presence of Bragg diffraction and the large scattering cross-section difference between the materials of the particles and the background support regions. These artifacts lead to errors in the downstream characterization affecting extraction of critical features such as the size of the metal particles, their distribution and the volume of the lighter support regions. In this paper, we present a two-stage algorithm based on metal artifact reduction, utilizing model-based iterative reconstruction methods with adaptive adjustment of regularization parameters. Our approach yields high-quality 3D reconstructions compared to traditional algorithms, accurately capturing both the metal particles as well as the background support. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our algorithm through simulated and experimental bright-field electron tomography data, showing significant improvements in reconstruction quality compared to traditional methods.
Nitrogen fixation mechanisms and distribution patterns of UCYN-A in the global ocean
Authors: Chakraborty Subhendu , Zehr Jonathan , Prášil Ondřej , Mak Wing , Merico Agostino
Published: January 2025

Biological N2 fixation is fundamental for supporting life on our planet1. UCYN-A, previously classified as unicellular cyanobacterium, shows molecular characteristics of an early-stage N2-fixing organelle, or nitroplast2, inside the haptophyte cell Braarudosphaera bigelowii and appears to be one of the most abundant3 and important4,5 N2-fixers in the global ocean. However, the mechanisms underpinning N2 fixation in B. bigelowii/UCYN-A and its geographic distribution remain unclear. Here we use new experimental observations and literature data in combination with a novel cell-based metabolic model to explain the intracellular pathways governing N2 fixation of B. bigelowii/UCYN-A and how these pathways determine its global biogeography. Our model shows that B. bigelowii/UCYN-A can fix N2 at low light and over a broad range of temperatures, explaining the ubiquitous distribution of this organism also in relatively deep waters and at high latitudes. We find high surface N2 fixation rates almost everywhere in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans but not in the Pacific Ocean, where N2 fixation is limited to specific regions. Our results indicate that B. bigelowii/UCYN-A is a key player in the oceanic nitrogen cycle, especially in nutrient-limited regions of the oceans, and shed new light on the role this microorganism may play in marine ecosystems.

Structured light brings a breakthrough in information capacity carried by the laser field, finding an ideal utility in optical information transmission. Advancements in optical intensity-based imaging have facilitated the use of structured light for simple information decoding. However, the practicality of available structured-light-based encoding methods is limited by the scarcity of easily distinguishable beam structures. What’s more, currently the structured light is confined to digital bits encoding or channel distinguishing that needs the decoding process, due to a single structured pattern still lacking of effective information. Here, in response to these limitations, we propose a method for extremely high-capacity information encoding, as well as image direct transmission, by modulating the structured light to defective states. Hermite-Gaussian (HG) eigenmode in defect states are designed and generated to achieve a large quantity of easily distinguishable patterns. With well-designed two-dimensional binary hologram gratings to generate different defects in a single HG mode, we achieve over 10n (n > 10) of varying laser states for encoding, corresponding to information capacity being tens of bits. These defect states are recognized by image processing method for quick decoding. What’s more, various image patterns can also be generated and are possible to achieve long-distance transmission with high fidelity. It means that the images can be directly transmitted without Fourier lens imaging, which paves a new way for information transmission. Free propagation and atmospheric turbulence performance of the defective mode are investigated to prove the defective mode has a similar performance to the standard eigenmode and is practical for information transmission.

DNA methylation analysis has become an essential diagnostic assay for classifying tumours of the central nervous system (CNS). However, this test requires additional resources and time compared to conventional histopathological diagnosis using haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stained tissue sections, which are available globally.

Here, we propose to reduce time and resource requirements using Hetairos, an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that predicts 102 methylation-based CNS tumour subtypes from digital images of H&E slides. Hetairos is built and assessed using over 11,000 slides from 10 centres across four continents. Hetairos produces well-calibrated probabilities for each subtype. Across cohorts, Hetairos identifies 50-70% of cases, which it classifies with high confidence and an accuracy of 0.87 for its highest-rated predictions.

Hetairos achieved higher accuracy than four board-certified neuropathologists in a direct comparison using only histology images (0.68 vs 0.28). A prospective evaluation within a routine diagnostic setting confirmed Hetairos’ performance and highlighted its 2-day turnaround time compared to an average of 12 days for molecular testing. Hetairos can assist diagnostic decision-making by limiting the number of likely diagnoses, informing efficient further testing, and by highlighting tissue areas indicative of specific diagnoses. These capabilities suggest Hetairos is a valuable tool assisting in the diagnosis of the full spectrum of paediatric and adult CNS tumours.

At present, disposable tableware has been widely used, but its harm to the environment can not be underestimated, so we want to explore a sustainable path. Normative Activation Model (NAM) and Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) as foundations, this paper studies the factors related to consumers' behavior of reducing disposable tableware use, and uses Structural Equation Model (SEM) to study the recycling behavior of 479 disposable tableware users in Shijiazhuang City. The results show that the awareness of the consequences of using disposable tableware has significant positive effects on attitudes, social norms, personal norms and perceived behavior control; At the same time, this study confirmed that attitude, social norms, personal norms and perceived behavior control were beneficial to behavior intention and significantly affected the behavior intention of using disposable tableware, and the indirect mediating effect of attitude, social norms, personal norms and perceived behavior control among consequence awareness and behavior intention was also verified. In addition, the influence of perceived behavioral control and behavioral intention on the behavior of disposable tableware users was also obtained. Government support as a moderating variable positively moderates the relationship between perceived behavioral control and behavior. The research results not only built a theoretical model of environmental protection behavior of the factors affecting residents' use of disposable tableware, improve the predictive and explanatory power of the overall model, but also assisted competent departments and government organizations in comprehending specific uses of disposable tableware, so as to formulate more feasible policies and measures.

Oral administration remains the most accessible and patient-friendly route for drug delivery. Paclitaxel, a potent anticancer agent sourced from natural origins, presents a highly lipophilic profile, and demonstrates substantial antineoplastic efficacy across various malignancies. However, its clinical application is limited by intrinsic hurdles, including low solubility, systemic toxicity, and limited bioavailability. In this study, we engineered folate-modified zein nanoparticles for oral delivery purposes. Our hypothesis posited that utilizing PEGylated zein as a biocompatible, stable nanocarrier, combined with folate receptor targeting on intestinal epithelial cells, could improve cellular uptake and translocation of these nanoformulations. Conjugation of folic acid was verified using FT-IR and H1NMR analyses. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) unveiled that the nanoparticles were nearly spherical, with a diameter under 200 nm, and maintained stability under gastrointestinal pH conditions. Furthermore, uptake assessments in multicellular spheroid and intestinal organoid models indicated that folate-conjugated nanoparticles exhibited significantly enhanced accumulation and penetration compared to non-targeted zein nanocarriers. Dir, a near-infrared dye, facilitated the in vivo assessment of nanoparticle biodistribution via oral administration, with folate-modified zein nanoparticles showing extended gastrointestinal retention in rats for up to 24 hours. Pharmacokinetic analysis in vivo demonstrated that targeted nanoparticles increased paclitaxel plasma concentrations in rabbits to over seven times that of the unformulated drug. Collectively, these findings underscore the effectiveness of folate-modified zein nanoparticles in enhancing the oral bioavailability of drugs with poor solubility, underscoring their potential in advanced oral delivery applications.
A Meta-Analysis Study on Scientists' Intentions to Engage in Science Popularization

Published: January 2025

Scientists are assuming crucial roles in the dissemination of scientific knowledge, with their propensity for public engagement directly impacting societal acceptance of science. Despite a growing body of research on the factors influencing scientists to engage in science communication, a consensus has yet to be reached. By integrating empirical research samples from SSCI-indexed journals to identify key factors affecting the science communication intentions of scientists, the theoretical framing and empirical direction will be provided for scientific dissemination. Based on a systematic review of the literature, including 17 sample articles, this research paper employs Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA) software to conduct heterogeneity tests, publication bias tests, and effect size tests. The study systematically assessed the impact of nine factors, including self-efficacy, participation attitude, normative beliefs, descriptive beliefs, response efficacy, perceived behavioral control, ethical beliefs, audience perception, and financial support, on scientists’ intention to engage in science popularization. The results indicate that self-efficacy, response efficacy, and ethical beliefs significantly and positively influence scientists’ intention to engage in science popularization, with response efficacy being the most pronounced. Normative beliefs and perceived behavioral control exert a moderating effect to some extent, accounting for heterogeneity among studies. Financial support, while positively associated, has a relatively weak impact. Our study suggests that strengthening scientists’ awareness, innovating in science popularization models, establishing support systems for popularization, and constructing professional development platforms are promising avenues to enhance scientists’ motivation for scientific communication.
