“We Are from Biafra”. Igbo Students in the USSR during the Civil War in Nigeria, 1967-1970
Authors: Mazov Sergey V.
Published: December 2021

Drawing on the Russian archival documents the article examines the Soviet policy towards Igbo students who studied in the USSR during the civil war in Nigeria (1967-1970). They sided the self-proclaimed Republic of Biafra, Eastern Nigeria, seceded from Nigeria in May 1967. The USSR supported the territorial integrity of Nigeria, provided military and other assistance for the Federal Government in its confrontation with Biafra. However, the Soviet authorities took neutrality in the conflict between Nigerian Embassy in Moscow and Igbo students. They did not expel students at the requests of the Embassy as accomplices of the separatists investigating each case carefully, did not hinder the activity of the Biafrian fellowship. Since the dissemination of Biafrian propagandists production was banned in the USSR, they tried to reach the Soviet audience through appeals from Igbo students who studied in the USSR. The appeals did not include the main issues of Biafrian propaganda to the West: accusations of the Federal Government of the Igbo genocide by Nazi methods and the portrayal of the civil war as a religious conflict - a jihad of the Muslim North against the Igbo as the largest and most organized Christian community in Nigeria. The dominant thesis was about the nature of the civil war as a struggle of the socialist East, Biafra, against the feudal-capitalist North, the central government. The students appealed the Soviet officials to recognize publicly the legitimacy of the Biafrians aspirations for self-determination, to stop supplying arms to the Federal Government and to mediate in a peaceful settlement. There were no responses to the appeals, and they were not made public. Based on archival documents, the author established that the Soviet leadership reasonably feared that Biafra would become the fiefdom of the main geopolitical rivals - the United States and Great Britain. To prevent this USSR entered into an alliance with the federals. The calculation was to enhance the Soviet influence throughout Nigeria, albeit with a reactionary government, rather than support the progressive breakaway Eastern Nigeria (Biafra) and receive nothing.

Some aspects of the Russian language democratization in modern media
Authors: Zagidullina Marina V. , Kiklewicz Aleksander K.
Published: December 2021

The article is of an overview and theoretical nature, and its subject is the active processes in the language of modern Russian mass media, caused by the democratization of society, especially in connection with the restructuring of the state and political system that took place in the countries of Eastern Europe in the 1990s. Based on scientific publications, as well as on empirical material (modern journalistic text), the authors systematize socio-cultural processes (within the framework of the general trend towards democratization) that have influenced and continue to influence the language of the media: the social construction of reality and the engagement of the media, the polarization of social groups and formations, the displacement of the transmission model of media functioning by the interaction model, the phenomenon of echo chambers. In connection with the influence of the socio-political factor, the authors note the most important dynamic processes in the language of the media, such as depatetization of the language clichs of the era of totalitarianism, neosemantization, the growth of vocabulary related to the sphere of consumerism, the activation of means serving the sphere of dialogical relations, overcoming an overly complex nature the language system, etc. It has been shown that the transition to a model of interaction between the media (with political, religious, public organizations, corporations - on the one hand, and the consumer community - on the other hand) caused the social engagement of media discourses, which in its the queue has caused the growth of labeling, evaluative and expressive text elements. Another important trend is associated with the phenomenon of echo chambers - its reflexes in the language of the media are the specialization of vocabulary and a decrease in the degree of grammaticalization of messages. The aspects of democratization of the language of the media presented in the article in the future can serve as parameters in accordance with which media monitoring can be carried out, including elements of a linguo-critical nature.
Features of newspaper headlines in the Russian-language press in Armenia
Authors: Martiryan Naira I.
Published: December 2021

The coverage of significant world events in various mass media and the attitude of the journalists differ substantially. Newspaper headlines give the opportunity to navigate in the information flow and find the most important and interesting information. The headlines of the Russian-language newspapers in the Republic of Armenia are analyzed. The relevance of the research lies in the need to study headings from the point of view of their functions, grammatical structure, the use of punctuation marks in them, and their semantic components. The aim of the study is to identify and describe the grammatical, semantic, punctuation features and functions of headings in the Russian-language press in Armenia. The following methods were used: continuous sampling, statistical, descriptive, including methods of observation and comparison, component analysis, comparative analysis. The research material included the articles of the newspapers Respublika Armenia and Golos Armenii of June - July 2021. Based on the results of the research, the following conclusions were made: in the Russian-language press of Armenia, all types of sentences are used as headlines; almost all punctuation marks are used in the titles; headings form thematically organized groups. The peculiarities of the headlines of the modern Russian-language press in Armenia are determined by such factors as the tendency of the language to expressiveness, dialogue, democratization, creativity and the author's principle in the design of the heading. Taking into account the tendency to change the proportion of types of speech activity and highlight the most demanded and important at the present time - reading, the study of the linguistic features of the newspaper and journalistic style, in particular the headlines, is very relevant. The results of the study are promising, since they make a significant contribution to the study of the modern Russian-language press in the Republic of Armenia.

The “Horde Captivity” of the Ryazan Prince Oleg Ingvarevich Krasny (1238–1258): From Historiographical Myth to Historical Realities
Authors:   Yelets State Ivan Bunin University, Vorotyntsev Leonid V.
Published: December 2021

Research objective: To both study the mechanisms of the formation of the historiographical myth about the so-called “Horde captivity” of the Ryazan Prince Oleg Ingvarevich Krasny and to reconstruct the political history of the Ryazan Principality in the 1240–50s. Research materials: The collection of Russian chronicle sources, the “Tale of the Destruction of Ryazan by Batu”, the “Armenian History” by Kirakos Gandzaketsi, the anonymous Georgian “Chronograph” of the fourteenth century, “History of World Conqueror” by Juvaini, “Compendium of Chronicles” by Rashid al-Din, as well as the “History of the Mongols” by John of Plano Carpini, and the “Itinerarium” by William of Rubruck. Results and novelty of the research: Based on a comprehensive study of narrative sources, the author reconstructs the political contacts of the ruling elites of the Ryazan Principality with the authorities of the Mongol Empire and the Jochid Ulus in 1242–1252. In particular, the author substantiates the thesis that Oleg Krasny received a yarliq to rule as a result of his trip to Töregene Khatun’s headquarters in 1242–1243. Also, a number of additional arguments are made to confirm the mythological nature of the thesis established in the scholarly literature about the long-term “Horde (Mongolian) captivity” of the Ryazan prince, Oleg Ingvarevich Krasny. In addition, the thesis about the existence of an anti-Horde union of Russian princes Daniil Romanovich of Halych, Andrey Yaroslavovich of Vladimir, and Yaroslav Yaroslavovich of Tver’ at the turn of the 1240–50s is argumentatively refuted along with the participation in this union of Oleg Ingvarevich of Ryazan, which allegedly caused his two-year (1250–1252) imprisonment in Batu’s headquarters.
Diplomatic Materials of the sixteenth century as a Source of Political Thought in the Successor States of the Golden Horde (To the Formulation of a Research Problem)
Authors:   Museum Association “Museum of Moscow”, Moiseev Maksim V. ,   Novosibirsk State University,   Moscow State Pedagogical University
Published: December 2021

Objective: To study the monuments of diplomatic correspondence from the sixteenth century as a source of political thought in the successor states of the Golden Horde. Research materials: The messages of Crimean khans, sultans, representatives of ruling groups, Nogai beks and mirzas preserved in translated copies in the ambassadorial books of the Muscovite state. Novelty of the research: For the first time ever, the diplomatic documents of the Crimean khanate and the Nogai Horde are involved in the reconstruction of their period’s corpus of political ideas. Considering the question of the authorship of messages, we proceed with the concept of S.M. Kashtanov about “technical authorship”, in which the authorship is understood as the collective work of rulers, courtiers, bureaucrats, and technical workers on the creation of a letter. Research results: The application of the concept of “corporate authorship” has made it possible to show that diplomatic messages were always a product of some convention possible within the elite that were involved in the development of foreign policy. Translators played an important role in shaping the political language. The messages of the khans, sultans, beks, and mirzas of the successor states of the Golden Horde contain some ideas that can help us to outline the political ideology. Central to it is the thesis of the exclusive right to power of the Chinggisids who could get power only with the general consent of the “political people”. “Evil” and “good” were the most important concepts of thought in the successor states. “Evil” was understood as any change in the established order, and “good” as its preservation. Thus, conservatism and the desire to fix the rituals of power and management practices that had developed earlier in the era of the Golden Horde were the most important concepts for political life in the successor states. This attitude led to the preservation of earlier concepts and terminological language, something which was reflected in the practice of diplomacy when the elusive reality of former power influenced ambassadorial ceremony and the form of messages.
Problems of Studying the Siberian Statehood of the Shibanids (according to Materials of the Fourth All-Russian Research Conference: “The History, Economy, and Culture of the Medieval Turkic-Tatar States of Western Siberia”)
Authors:   Kurgan State University, Ryabinina Elena A. , Tataurov Sergei F. ,   Omsk Branch of the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: December 2021

The article summarizes the results of the Fourth All-Russian (national) research conference “History, Economy, and Culture of the Medieval Turkic-Tatar States of Western Siberia”. It took place in the city of Kurgan on October 30, 2020. The conference was held on the Zoom platform due to the current epidemic situation. From various regions of Russia and the Republic of Kazakhstan, 34 researchers took part in it. The reports were chronologically and thematically divided into the following areas: the issues of the historiography and source studies of the political and ethnic history of the Siberian states; the Tyumen Khanate and its heritage, the Siberian Khanate and its neighbors; and Western Siberia from the end of the sixteenth to seventeenth centuries: politics, population, and culture. The speakers summed up and set new prospects for research on the problems of archaeological and historical source studies related to Siberian statehood, the ethno-social and political history of the Tyumen and Siberian yurts, and issues of political relations of late medieval Siberian states with their neighbors including the Muscovite state and the Bukhara Khanate. In the latter case, it was proposed to consider these relations in the context of larger geopolitical realities in Eurasia in the sixteenth century. Special attention was paid to the discussion of Tatar-Ugric relations which continue to be a promising research area. The problems and chronology of the entry of the Turkic-Tatar and Ugric peoples of Western Siberia into the Russian state were discussed as well. Further ways of studying the problems of the history, economy, and culture of the medieval Turkic-Tatar states of Western Siberia were considered for the preparation of the next conference in Kurgan in 2023. Using the possibilities of interdisciplinary research by specialists in the field of history, archaeology, ethnology, numismatics, and genetics is of great importance in determining the prospects for further research. Taking into account the limited written base of sources on the history of Western Siberia of the late Middle Ages and early modern period, interdisciplinarity and a combined approach can solve some controversial issues and problems, as well as provide us with new potential opportunities to study the history of the Tyumen and Siberian Khanate.

Priorities in internationalization of the Japan’s higher education system of the state level
Authors:   The Pacific National University, Lamasheva Yu. A.
Published: December 2021

Referring to four strategies of internationalization of higher education, suggested by the Organization for economic cooperation and development, Japan’s strategy is traditionally called mutual understanding approach, aiming mainly at the cultural diplomacy and spreading “soft power” around the globe. However, in modern Japan other strategies may become more important, such as skilled migration approach or capacity building approach. The goal of this paper is to demonstrate the reasons for different strategies in internationalization of higher education in Japan. It is argued that both skilled migration approach and capacity building approach are implemented, while the revenue-generating approach is not.

Published: December 2021

Introduction. On the territory of the Chelyabinsk region there are 16 single-industry towns, the labor market and employment of which depend on the socio-economic situation of the single-industry enterprise. This state of matters results in the growth of unemployment, decrease in the level of human capital, the population’s life quality, and the loss of scientific and production potential. According to the authors, developing the theoretical foundations of the labor market and employment digital transformation in a single-industry town will make it possible to find alternative ways of employing the population in order to improve regional policy on the labor and employment market. The purpose of the study is to develop the theoretical foundations of the labor market and employment digital transformation in a monotown. Methods. The authors use the following scientific methods: system analysis, comparison, description, generalization, systematization, formalization, analysis of sources, etc. The scientific novelty of the research consists in defining the concepts «digital transformation of the labor market of a monotown», «digital platform of the labor market»; in determining changes in the elements of a monotown labor market structure in the processes of digital transformation; in determining the subjects, objects of the labor market digital transformation; in developing a comparative characteristic of the traditional labor market and the labor market of Industry 4.0 monocity; in developing recommendations for the digital transformation of the labor market of a monotown in order to improve the regional employment policy. Results and conclusions. As a result of analyzing the structure of the population’s employment in single-industry towns of the Chelyabinsk region, the authors determine quantitative transformations in the number of the residing population, the average number of employees towards its reduction; the authors characterize the average monthly salary of workers in organizations of single-industry towns as unstable. The analysis of unemployment shows that there is a tendency for the number of youth among the unemployed to grow, at the same time, hidden unemployment is decreasing; in general, the unemployment rate in single-industry towns is higher than in the Chelyabinsk region for the entire study period. The analysis shows that it is necessary to search for alternative ways of employing the population, of decreasing the unemployment rate, which made it possible to develop theoretical foundations for transforming the labor market and employment of a single-industry town.

Authors:   Scientific and Research Institute for the Efficiency and Safety of Mining, Zakharov Svyatoslav
Published: December 2021

Introduction. The relevance of the topic of the article is conditioned, on the one hand, by the necessity to assess the effectiveness of using the managerial potential of the key employees at the coal industry enterprises in Russia, on the other hand, by the lack of a scientific and methodological basis for solving the problem. The gap will not allow Russian coal companies to master the trajectory of sustainable economic development in the near future. The purpose of the article is to develop a methodological approach to assessing the effectiveness of using the managerial potential of key employees in the coal industry. Methods. The author uses the methods of systemic, semantic and retrospective analysis, as well as benchmarking. Scientific novelty of the research. The author proposes a methodological approach to assessing and forecasting the effectiveness of using the managerial potential of key employees, a distinctive feature of which is determining the congruence of the internal competitive environment of a coal mining enterprise to its external environment. Results. The outlined approach to assessing the effectiveness of using the managerial potential of key employees makes it possible to predict and plan the trajectory of its development, taking into account the congruence of the internal competitive environment of an enterprise to the external environment, an innovative market economy. Conclusions. On the basis of the obtained quantitative results of assessing the effectiveness of using the managerial potential of key employees, the author concludes that there are significant opportunities to increase the level of managers’ competitiveness and the sustainable operation of coal industry enterprises in Russia, the implementation of which is achieved by the balanced development of managerial potential and strengthening the congruence of the internal competitive environment of an enterprise.
Methodological foundations for applying the hermeneutic approach in teaching the humanities. Part 1. Basic principles of hermeneutics
Authors:   South Ural State Humanitarian Pedagogical University, Bogdanova Veronika
Published: December 2021

The article raises the problem of the compliance of the education system with the requirements of the new time, since this system continues to rely on the knowledge paradigm, ignoring the fact that in an oversaturated information environment, knowledge quickly depreciates and becomes irrelevant. The author comes to the conclusion that a person will quickly adapt to new realities if the education system does not focus on obtaining readymade knowledge, but on developing the ability to independently acquire the necessary knowledge, critically assess it and generate, on this basis, new ideas for effectively solving life problems. To reach the goal a hermeneutic approach should be used in the process of studying the humanities. In the research, the author reveals the educational potential of hermeneutics, the essence of which is to activate the cognitive process, develop the skills of productive work with different sources of information. In the article, the author describes the basic principles of working with text, which allow a deeper assimilation of the material, which opens up prospects for further research — to develop and test an understanding technique that can be used to study verbal texts.

Subjectivity and adaptability of modern youth: possibilities of measuring (examining) non-physical quantities
Authors:   South Ural State Humanitarian Pedagogical University, Borisov Sergey
Published: December 2021

It should be noted that the current situation in Russia with regard to the socio-psychological adaptation of young people (age 17—25) to the changing digital environment does not find a proper theoretical and practical solution. Therefore, representatives of the socio-humanitarian sciences need their own methodology for measuring the adaptability of young people as the basis of their creative life. We believe that the key strategic line in the development of adaptability is to support of a young person formation as a subject of his own life. Despite the challenges of the times, the problem of adaptation in the aspect of subjectivity is limited to the spread of “myths” about the digital society and the declarative statements arising from them without a proper strategic and tactical scientific program. In this regard, the fundamental scientific result of our project will be developing, testing and evaluating the effectiveness of the methodology for measuring the socio-psychological adaptation of young people, developed on the basis of digital anthropology and metrology, which can be used as an interdisciplinary model of socio-humanitarian examination of subjectivity and adaptability. The assessment scale can be based on the idea of a standard (value, meaning), which form subjectivity, are formulated by the subject, determine the direction of his activity, his abilities, the project of his being. The model of this complex non-physical quantity can be represented through the concept of supervenience. Supervenience enables us to explain reductively through functional analysis. By explaining how functions are performed, we will explain the phenomenon. The cognitive model of subjectivity is such an abstractly causally organized system, the mechanisms of which are sufficient for implementing the corresponding functions. Then this model becomes logically possible, and, therefore, empirically confirmed (or refuted). Thus, it becomes possible to theoretically substantiate and experimentally prove that subjectivity is the basis of adaptability (strong option) or adaptability is closely related to subjectivity (weak option) and that for each type of adaptive activity the basis is a certain type of subjectivity. On the basis of this, an interdisciplinary model of socio-humanitarian examination of subjectivity and adaptability will be developed.
Electoral competition in the elections of the representative local self-government bodies in Chelyabinsk: before and after the 2014 reform
Authors:   Chelyabinsk State University, Vydrin Oleg
Published: December 2021

Introduction. The article examines the dynamics of electoral competition over four electoral cycles from 2005 to 2019 as exemplified by forming representative bodies of local self-government in the city of Chelyabinsk. Particular attention is paid to the impact that the transition of Chelyabinsk to a twotier model of forming local self-government bodies in 2014 had on the electoral competition. The purpose of the paper is to study the dynamics of electoral competition in municipal elections in Chelyabinsk before and after the 2014 reform. Methods. The empirical basis of the study is the database “Electoral competition in the elections of municipal deputies of Chelyabinsk (2005—2019)”, which includes 414 observation units. The analysis of the empirical material is carried out according to the method of G.V. Golosov’s triangle of relative sizes, proposed for classifying party systems and adapted for analyzing elections in single-mandate constituencies. Scientific novelty. The author suggests a methodology for analyzing electoral competition in singlemandate constituencies. For the first time, the phenomenon of “controlled competition” is analyzed on the basis of 4 municipal elections cycles. Results. The analysis makes it possible to speak about fluctuations in electoral competition, its decline in 2009 and 2014 compared to the 2005 elections and increasing by the 2019 elections Conclusions. The “controlled competition” was formed in Chelyabinsk in the period preceding the reform of 2014. The reform introduced a level of local self-government, the effectiveness and necessity of which is not obvious with the existing design of the electoral system. In the course of the reform, the principal-agent model of relations between local self-government bodies and state authorities was finally consolidated. The reform contributed to conserving the “controlled competition”.

The authors present the results of studying migration processes as one of the factors that determine the transformation of the regional social space. Applying migration indicators to assessing prospective spatial changes presupposes a multivariate analysis of developing complex heterogeneous systems. The version of applying problem-oriented visualization tools presented by the authors significantly expands the possibilities of such an analysis. Assessment, systematization and subsequent classification of migration characteristics are considered within the framework of a multi-stage graphical digital analysis procedure. The problems of migration dynamics characterize a number of problems of the incipient deformation of social space. The main provisions and results of the study are presented as exemplified by the five largest urban areas of the Chelyabinsk region. The key contradictions generated by the processes of regional migration are presented for various urban areas of one of the leading industrial regions of the Urals. These are contradictions: dynamics of population inflow — outflow; the ratio of the balance of migration and migration flows, etc. The results of the study make it possible to proceed to more complex models of spatial reconstruction and sustainable development of territories. Considering such models lays the groundwork for passing on to a controlled transformation in the spatial development of territories and reducing the signs of social space deformation.

MANAGING SOCIAL INTERACTION IN THE MEDIA SPACE
Authors:   Saint Petersburg State University of Economics, MOLCHANOVA OLGA
Published: December 2021

The article presents an attempt to operationalize the concept of «managing social interaction in the media space», which is relevant today, but does not yet have a generally accepted interpretation in the scientific world. The specifics of social interaction are primarily represented by the communication component, but are not limited to this factor alone. The procedural nature of social interaction makes it possible to talk about the possibility of managing it, and, therefore, a meaningful approach to regulating communication models in the modern media space. To determine the goals and objectives of the social interaction management system in the media space, it is advisable to use a tiered approach, where the state in the process of managing social interaction in the media space acts as a determining entity, this is a mega-level; at the macro level, this role is performed by the professional community of the mass media; at the micro level, the determining entity is the management of a single editorial office. The individual acts as a defining subject at the micro and macro levels. In this regard, the purpose and objectives of the management system of social interaction processes in the media space can be presented to the relevant determining level. Tasks of the management system of social interaction processes in the media space at the mega-level: development of terminology; introduction of overdue proposals to the Law of the Russian Federation «On Mass Media», official regulation of both innovative processes in the field of media, and relevant changes in secondary and higher professional education for the training of specialists of convergent type editorial offices. It should be borne in mind such a specific characteristic of social interaction as professional convergence, which is an actual trend of the modern media space. The merging of journalism, advertising and PR into a single activity leads to the emergence of many new forms of interaction with the audience, in which the communication aspect comes first. The consumer, having the ability to instantly respond to any information message, becomes a significant actor in the communication process. «Citizen (people’s) journalists», caring people who own communication technologies, expressing their point of view in the public space, contribute to the emergence of a new type of communication activity: attracting famous people as opinion leaders, which actualizes the activity of the audience. The analysis of various points of view made it possible to formulate the term «Management of social interaction in the media space» and identify the key features of the functional of this activity and conclude that further research of this phenomenon is necessary due to the multi-vector nature of its manifestation and the need for a significant update of the foundations of the existing managerial nature.
IMPLEMENTING «KEYWORD» TECHNOLOGY IN PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT

The founder of humanistic psychology A. Maslow claimed: those who have only a hammer as a tool are inclined to consider the problem as a naill. Is it possible to learn to see in subordinates not nails, but individuals of joint labor activity? What effective management methods are able to identify the true cause and hidden motives of the employee, influence them and get him to voluntarily accept the actions expected and necessary for the manager? The answer to these questions is the purpose of the described study. In management, the Japanese ”Five Why” method is widespread, which, according to the authors, is not productive enough. Having abandoned the formal-logical and relying on the causal-genetic method of research, the technology of adaptive learning in the zone of proximal development, the authors propose another, domestic approach, which has proven its greater efficiency. The article describes the technology of working with it in practice and its advantages. When using the «keyword» technology, the movement towards the result is purposeful. Within the framework of the individual logical trajectory it affects the reasoning of the employee, not the manager. With these questions, the manager constantly assesses and leads the subordinate into an individual zone of proximal development, and the discussion is held within it (that is, the developing effect of the employee’s reflections is ensured). Reliance on the keywords of the respondent ensures that there are no obstacles in the construction of inferences. If in the end there are obstacles, they are quickly leveled by relying on the next keyword of the respondent.

Published: December 2021

Due to the importance of commercial enterprises to economic development, the UAE legislature has sought to carefully regulate them, including providing guarantees to prevent manipulation by founders during the incorporation period. This article focuses on the criminal liability of founders of joint-stock companies in Emirati law and clarifies the actions that result in criminal liability for founders of joint-stock companies. The article approaches the topic by first defining a founder and the qualifications they must possess. Then, the article discusses the crimes and the rulings related to the crimes committed during the incorporation of a joint-stock company (Kamensky, Dudorov, Movchan, Vozniuk, & Makarenko, 2020). This is done by analyzing the relevant laws, including the UAE Commercial Enterprise Law (Number 2 of 2015). The article concludes that the Emirati legislature has defined the purpose of founders and provided the conditions that a person must fulfill to sign the initial contract to incorporate a company as a founder. Moreover, this study showed that the Emirati legislature has leaned towards issuing severe punishments for those who commit these crime

presents in newborn as fibrous mass arising from the alveolus.The
prenatal screening of lesion can help in parent counselling, determining
the complications, as larger size lesion may interfere with normal
delivery and require caesarean section.

In the context of atrial fibrillation (AF), traditional clinical
practices have thus far fallen short in several domains such as
identifying patients at risk of incident AF or patients with concomitant
undetected paroxysmal AF. Novel approaches leveraging artificial
intelligence have the potential to provide new tools to deal with some
of these old problems. In this review we focus on the roles of
artificial intelligence-enabled ECG pertaining to AF, potential roles of
deep learning (DL) models in the context of current knowledge gaps, as
well as limitations of these models. One key area where DL models can
translate to better patient outcomes is through automated ECG
interpretation. Further, we overview some of the challenges facing AF
screening and the harms and benefits of screening. In this context, a
unique model was developed to detect underlying hidden AF from sinus
rhythm and is discussed in detail with its potential uses. Knowledge
gaps also remain regarding the best ways to monitor patients with ESUS
and who would benefit most from oral anticoagulation. The AI-enabled AF
model is one potential way to tackle this complex problem as it could be
used to identify a subset of high-risk ESUS patients likely to benefit
from empirical oral anticoagulation. Role of DL models assessing AF
burden from long duration ECG data is also discussed as a way of guiding
management. There is a trend towards the use of consumer-grade
wristbands and watches to detect AF from photoplethysmography data.
However, ECG currently remains the gold standard to detect arrythmias
including AF. Lastly, role of adequate external validation of the models
and clinical trials to study true performance is discussed.

We explored the relative importance of climate oscillations and
human-driven disturbances on the change of vegetation biomass in
agroecosystems, and whether it is associated with land use. The study
was carried out in the drylands of the Iberian Peninsula, NW Maghreb,
Palestinian West Bank, Mozambique, China and NE Brazil, using satellite
time-series and the corresponding climate fields, at ten-year
observation periods with spatial and temporal resolutions of 1000 m (250
m in Palestine) and one year, respectively. For each region, we
separated the relative weights of climate and time by fitting
multiple-stepwise regressions to a vegetation index as the dependent
variable, and annual aridity (Aridity) and year number (Time) as
predictors. The relative strength of the resulting standard partial
regression coefficients was then compared by the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks
test, and their combined associations with land uses were determined
using chi-square tests. Some points of convergence are: 1. The relative
weights of Aridity and Time depend on particular regional conditions and
can be determined. 2. Such weights are associated with land use
intensification, such that if vegetation increases over Time, Aridity
increases its relative importance with intensification; if vegetation is
degrading, Aridity is always more important than Time. 3. Aridity is an
indicator of vulnerability to climate warming. Resilience can be
improved by reducing land use intensification. 4. Vulnerability may
worsen under constant climate if agriculture is intensified. These
patterns enhance an integrated understanding of Sustainable Development
Goals Indicator 15.3.1, particularly its land cover and productivity
trend components.

Introduction: There is increasing evidence of the epicardial connection
between the right-sided pulmonary vein (PV) carina and right atrium
interrupts right-sided PV isolation after circumferential PV ablation in
patients with atrial fibrillation. In such cases, carina ablation is
often required. This study aimed to assess the utility of the right
atrial posterior wall (RAPW) pacing in the detection of the right-sided
epicardial connection (EC), evaluate the requirement for additional
carina ablation after circumferential pulmonary vein (PV) ablation
depending on the presence of EC, and investigate the clinical
characteristics including the amount of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT)
in patients with ECs. Methods and Results: Forty-one patients scheduled
for PV isolation were enrolled. Before ablation, activation mapping of
the LA was prospectively performed during pacing from the RAPW. EC was
observed in 12 patients (EC group, 29%), whereas no EC was observed in
the remaining 29 patients (non-EC group, 71%). For PV isolation, carina
ablation was required in addition to circumferential ablation in 7
patients (58%) in the EC group, compared to 2 patients (7%) in the
non-EC group (p < 0.003). Periatrial and intercaval EAT
volumes were significantly lower (12.8 ± 6.2 vs. 23.1 ± 13.9 ml/m
, p < 0.02, and 1.1 ± 0.8 vs. 2.2 ± 1.6
ml/m , p< 0.02, respectively) and the
patients were younger (66.5 ± 6.6 vs. 72.4 ± 8.3 years, p <
0.03) in the EC group than in the non-EC group. Conclusions: RAPW pacing
revealed EC between the RA and right PV carina in nearly a quarter of
the patients.

El análisis de la salud mental de las personas en contexto de pandemia por SARS-Cov-2 constituye un reto de gran relevancia para la psicología actual. La presente investigación se propuso dos objetivos. En primer lugar, analizar las asociaciones entre el continuo de salud mental y los síntomas de ansiedad, depresión e intolerancia a la incertidumbre en adultos argentinos en pandemia por COVID-19 y, en segundo lugar, comparar los niveles de bienestar emocional, psicológico y social según asistencia psicológica en contexto de pandemia por COVID-19. El tipo de estudio fue descriptivo, correlacional y de diferencia de grupos bajo un diseño no experimental de corte transversal. Se utilizó una muestra de 1120 adultos de entre 18 y 84 años (MEdad 37.32, DE = 14.81), 60.1% mujeres y 39.9% varones. Los resultados informaron que las asociaciones entre los niveles de bienestar emocional, psicológico, social y total y los síntomas de depresión e intolerancia a la incertidumbre fueron negativas y signifi cativas. Sin embargo, las correlaciones con los síntomas de ansiedad fueron positivas y signifi cativas. Se hallaron diferencias signifi cativas en los niveles de bienestar emocional, psicológico, social y total según asistencia a tratamiento psicoterapéutico. En todos los casos, las personas que asistieron a tratamiento psicoterapéutico demostraron mayores niveles de bienestar en comparación a quienes no lo realizaron. Se concluye que las personas que se encontraban en la categoría de salud mental floreciente y realizaban tratamiento psicoterapéuticopresentaron menores indicadores de depresión e intolerancia a la incertidumbre.
