Role of Russia in foreign trade of Jilin during the COVID and post-COVID periods
Authors: Александрова М.В. 
Published: September 2024

Особенности экономико-географического положения во многом являются определяющим фактором для внешней торговли отдельных административных единиц государства. Ярким тому примером служит северо-восточная провинция КНР — Цзилинь. Отсутствие выхода к морю и граница всего с двумя странами стали “камнем преткновения” в деле наращивания внешнеторгового оборота провинции. Проведение Россией специальной военной операции на Украине и введение санкций против РФ непосредственно отразились на росте темпов экспорта Цзилиня, ротации его торговых партнеров и увеличении доли товаров с высокой добавленной стоимостью в его экспорте. В статье проанализированы основные изменения, произошедшие за последние пять лет во внешней торговле Цзилиня как на уровне статистики суммарных экспортно-импортных операций, географии торговли, так и наполнения экспорта. Россия стала вторым по значению торговым партнером Цзилиня после Германии. Ассортимент экспортно-импортных потоков между Цзилинем и Россией включает широкую номенклатуру товаров, но, как и прежде, наша страна поставляет в основном сырьевую линейку продукции, а Цзилинь наращивает
The economic-geographical position (EGP) (or economic-geographical location) is largely a determining factor in the development of foreign trade relations of individual administrative units of a State. A striking example of this is the Northeastern province of China — Jilin. The lack of access to the sea and common border with only two countries have become a “stumbling block” in increasing the province’s foreign trade turnover. The implementation of the Special military operation and the introduction of sanctions against the Russian Federation directly influenced the growth of Jilin's export rates, the rotation of the province's trading partners and the increase in the share of high value-added goods in the province's exports. The article analyzes the main changes that have occurred over the past 5 years in Jilin's foreign trade, both at the level of statistics of total export-import operations, geography of trade, and features of export content as well. Russia has become trading partner No. 2 of the province after Germany. The export-import flows between Jilin and Russia include a wide range of goods, but, as before, our country supplies mainly raw materials, and Jining is increasing the export of mechanical engineering products.
“Journal secret notes” of the bailiff V.K. Igumnov about events in the life of the Qing Empire at the end of the XVIIIth century
Authors: Саркисова Г.И. 
Published: September 2024

Статья посвящена источниковедческому анализу “Журнальных секретных записок”, написанных в 1794—1795 гг. коллежским секретарем В.К. Игумновым, сопровождавшим 8-ю Российскую духовную миссию в Пекин в качестве пристава. “Журнальные записки” отразили процесс постепенного накопления и уточнения интересного фактического материала из разных областей жизни Цинской империи в конце XVIII в. Их особая ценность связана с последовательной записью событий сразу же по получении о них сведений, источниками которых были совершенно разные люди, встретившиеся В.К. Игумнову по пути следования российской духовной миссии в Пекин и в самой китайской столице. Среди информантов были как сопровождавшие российскую миссию китайские и монгольские приставы, так и католические миссионеры, жившие в Пекине. Известия, полученные от них, подтверждали и дополняли друг друга. Совпадение сведений из разных источников свидетельствовало о высокой степени их подлинности, что является главным критерием значимости этих данных. Таким образом, Коллегия иностранных дел на основании материалов “Журнальных секретных записок”, представленных российским приставом В.К. Игумновым, получила достоверную информацию о жизни Цинской империи конца XVIII в.: ее внутренних проблемах (эпидемия, подавление восстания народа мяо), внешних контактах (война с Непалом, прием английского и голландского посольств) и о кадровых изменениях в управлении пограничной зоной.
The article is devoted to the source analysis of the “Journal Secret Notes” written in 1794—1795 by the collegiate secretary V.K. Igumnov, who accompanied the 8th Russian Orthodox Mission to Beijing as a bailiff. The “Journal notes” reflected the process of gradual accumulation and clarification of interesting factual material from various areas of life of the Qing Empire at the end of the XVIIIth century. Their special value is associated with the consistent recording of events immediately after recieving information about them from completely different people, whomV.K Igumnov met along the route of the Russian Orthodox Mission to Beijing and in the Chinese capital itself. Among the informants were both Chinese and Mongolian bailiffs accompanying the Russian mission, as well as Catholic missionaries living in Beijing. The news received from them confirmed and complemented each other. The coincidence of information from different sources indicated a high degree of authenticity, which was the main criterion for the significance of the information. Thus, the Collegium of Foreign Affairs, based on the materials of the “Journal Secret Notes” presented by the Russian bailiff V.K. Igumnov, received reliable information about the life of the Qing Empire at the end of the XVIIIth century: its internal problems (epidemic, suppression of the uprising of the Miao people), external contacts (war with Nepal, reception of the English and Dutch embassies) and personnel changes in the management of the border zone.

Over the past few decades, several cases of poisoning and death resulting from environmental exposure to the herbicide, paraquat (PQ), has been reported. However, nigella sativa oil, with several antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties present a significant tool against PQ-induced toxicity. Thus, the study aim was to assess the possible mitigative effect of nigella sativa oil administration on paraquat-induced neurotoxicity in the cerebellum. Twenty-eight (28) adult Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups of seven (7) rats each. Group I (control) received 0.3ml of normal saline daily; Group II received 0.1ml of paraquat daily; Group III received 0.1ml of paraquat and 0.3ml of nigella sativa daily; and Group IV received 0.3ml of nigella sativa daily. Administrations were done via oral gavage and experimentation lasted for 14 days. On day 13 of the experiment, animals from all groups were subjected to neurobehavioral tests using hanging wire test for grip period. Afterwards, the rats were sacrificed using anesthesia. Blood samples was collected and the brains were harvested for biochemical and histological studies.
The result from this study revealed a decrease in grip time in the hanging wire test, in the group administered PQ only when compared to the control. However, the groups administered nigella sativa oil (NSO) showed an increase in grip time compared to the PQ only treated group, these differences are however insignificant. Also, a marked decrease in the GST and TAC levels were observed in the group exposed to PQ only when compared to the control group. However, the groups treated with NSO showed marked increase in these antioxidants level compared to the PQ group. Also, however insignificant, PQ exposure caused a slight increase in ROS levels compared to the control, and slight decrease in ROS levels in the PQ+NSO and NSO respectively was recorded. Distortion in the histoarchitecture of the cerebellum, were also recorded in the PQ-treated group when compared to the control. However, preservation of general histoarchitecture was observed in these brain regions in the treatment groups.

Published: September 2024

Abstract. Karlseifertite (IMA 2024-007, International Mineralogical Association), Pb(Ga2Ge)(AsO4)2(OH)6, is a new member of the dussertite group, from Tsumeb, Namibia. It is a secondary oxidation-zone mineral found on fracture surfaces in germanite–chalcocite ore. Karlseifertite occurs in rosettes of thin, yellow, hexagonal plates up to about 0.2 mm in diameter and usually less than 0.01 mm thick. The mineral has a pale-yellow streak, subadamantine lustre, Mohs hardness of ∼ 4, brittle tenacity, irregular fracture, perfect cleavage on {001} and a calculated density of 4.993 g cm−3. Optically, karlseifertite crystals are uniaxial (+), with ω=1.890(5) and ε=1.894(calc) (white light). The empirical formula from electron probe microanalyses is Pb0.992+(Ga1.603+Ge0.684+Fe0.573+Al0.123+)Σ2.97[(As0.765+S0.156+W0.096+)Σ1.00O4]2(OH0.99)6. Karlseifertite is trigonal with space group R3‾m and unit-cell parameters a=7.2814(7), c=17.1077(12) Å, V=785.50(15) Å3 and Z=3. The mineral has an alunite-supergroup structure (R1=0.0591 for 248 reflections with I>2σI).

Abstract. Effective monitoring of global water resources is increasingly critical due to climate change and population growth. Advancements in remote sensing technology, specifically in spatial, spectral, and temporal resolutions, are revolutionizing water resource monitoring, leading to more frequent and high-quality surface water extent maps using various techniques such as traditional image processing and machine learning algorithms. However, satellite imagery datasets contain trade-offs that result in inconsistencies in performance, such as disparities in measurement principles between optical (e.g., Sentinel-2) and radar (e.g., Sentinel-1) sensors and differences in spatial and spectral resolutions among optical sensors. Therefore, developing accurate and robust surface water mapping solutions requires independent validations from multiple datasets to identify potential biases within the imagery and algorithms. However, high-quality validation datasets are expensive to build, and few contain information on water resources. For this purpose, we introduce a globally sampled, high-spatial-resolution dataset labeled using 3 m PlanetScope imagery (Planet Team, 2017). Our surface water extent dataset comprises 100 images, each with a size of 1024×1024 pixels, which were sampled using a stratified random sampling strategy covering all 14 biomes. We highlighted urban and rural regions, lakes, and rivers, including braided rivers and coastal regions. We evaluated two surface water extent mapping methods using our dataset – Dynamic World (Brown et al., 2022), based on Sentinel-2, and the NASA IMPACT model (Paul and Ganju, 2021), based on Sentinel-1. Dynamic World achieved a mean intersection over union (IoU) of 72.16 % and F1 score of 79.70 %, while the NASA IMPACT model had a mean IoU of 57.61 % and F1 score of 65.79 %. Performance varied substantially across biomes, highlighting the importance of evaluating models on diverse landscapes to assess their generalizability and robustness. Our dataset can be used to analyze satellite products and methods, providing insights into their advantages and drawbacks. Our dataset offers a unique tool for analyzing satellite products, aiding the development of more accurate and robust surface water monitoring solutions.

Published: September 2024

Los viajes y desplazamientos a Italia se desarrollan en cuanto al entorno eslovaco se refiere desde el siglo XIX. Este trabajo se centra en la investigación del viaje, que en sus diarios describe el sacerdote y escritor católico, Štefan Nemecskay, representante de la segunda generación de los seguidores de Bernolák y que han sido publicados originalmente en varias revistas. Aunque el punto de partida del análisis es la categorización de los aspectos de la representación literaria de Italia esbozada por M. Beller (ayuda no sólo a resumir los conocimientos previos sobre el país o la forma del relato de viaje, por ejemplo, el grado de predominio de los hechos factuales sobre la representación subjetiva de las experiencias individuales), el objetivo del trabajo es sobre todo reflejar la estrategia personal del autor basada en subrayar las dimensiones espirituales de la vida y reavivar la relación del hombre con Dios.

Published: September 2024

O estudo das possíveis relações entre os textos pode significar um início de um percurso que num contexto mais amplo pode atribuir ao texto as inúmeras possibilidades de compreensão e interpretação. No âmbito da leitura e compreensão dos contos de fadas, alguns aspectos intertextuais constituem elementos fundamentais para a aquisição de uma postura mais crítica por parte do leitor. O olhar sobre a forma do texto, a perspectiva discursiva e as inferências inerentes ao processo da construção dos contos são, de alguma forma, essenciais para que a leitura ocorra de fato. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar as possíveis intertextualidades em alguns contos de fadas, tendo em vista que são textos com temáticas muito peculiares, mas que mantêm uma coerência na organização temática, sobretudo no que concerne aos elementos norteadores de sentido. Analisamos, inicialmente, alguns contos de fadas tradicionais, comparando-os a versões mais modernas, como: Chapeuzinho Vermelho e Chapeuzinho Amarelo, Branca de Neve e os Sete Anões; O patinho Feio e O Patinho realmente Feio. Usamos as concepções de texto e intertextualidade de autores como Koch (2011), Costa Val (1999), Antunes (2010) e Cavalcante (2010). O processo de análise mostra que os contos de fada são textos que (re)constroem visões diferentes à medida que o leitor se depara com uma versão passível de interpretação múltipla, isto, porque o leitor na sua posição mais seletiva consegue atribuir um sentido para cada texto. A intertextualidade pode ser representada por uma postura nova do leitor e por essa possibilidade de olhar um texto, não com um olhar direcional, mas com a observação de tudo o que está explícito e implícito no universo textual.

Published: September 2024

Objectives Playing sports is crucial to adolescents as a source of entertainment, a factor in improving mental health, and a way to promote physical development. However, sports, including volleyball, have an inherent risk of causing injuries to its players. The objective of this study is to determine the most common locations, types, and outcomes of volleyball injuries in adolescent athletes so that more people are aware of how these injuries occur. This would encourage volleyball athletes to be more mindful of these injuries when playing. Methods The National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) was used to analyze injuries in adolescents (ages 10-19) that occurred due to volleyball between the years 2013 and 2022. Results Approximately 347,395 volleyball injuries occurred in adolescents between 2013 and 2022, with the median age of patients being 15 years old. 274,003 patients were female (78.9%) while 73,392 patients were male (21.1%). 59,530 had injuries in the head or neck (17.1%), 141,660 in the lower extremities (40.8%), and 119,230 in the upper extremities (34.3%). 151,364 patients had sprains or strains (43.6%), 35,760 had fractures (10.3%), 36,804 had contusions or abrasions (10.6%), and the rest of the patients had other injuries. 342,567 patients were treated and released (98.6%), 2049 patients were left without being seen (0.6%), and 1648 patients were hospitalized (0.5%). Conclusions This study shows that volleyball players are most vulnerable to getting sprains, strains, fractures, or bruises in the upper or lower extremities. While there are more injuries in adolescent females, this is likely because a majority of volleyball players between the ages of 10 and 19 are female. Further study may be done to identify how volleyball causes these injuries in an effort to prevent them.
