Interrelation of Religious and Ethnic Consciousness on the Example of Altai Burkhanism
Authors: Гриднева М.В. 
Published: June 2024

Статья посвящена проблеме соотношения религиозного и этнического сознания на примере современных алтайцев. Описывается новое религиозное движения – белая вера или бурханизм, и выдвигается гипотеза о том, что данное движение могло быть создано искусственно. Для проверки данной гипотезы структура белой веры рассматривается как феномен религиозного сознания, к которому можно приложить категории «свой» и «чужой». В процессе исследования отмечается, что белой вере присущи черты нескольких не смешанных друг с другом религиозных систем. Кроме того, в её структуре категории «традиционное» и «историческое» не совпадают, происходя из разных источников. Это позволяет автору статьи сделать вывод о том, что возросший в последнее время на Алтае интерес к религии можно расценивать как один из признаков борьбы национального самосознания алтайцев с некоторым внутренним кризисом, начавшимся ещё в первом десятилетии прошлого века. На примере алтайского бурханизма анализируются возможности проявления этнического самосознания через религиозное, и связывающие их категории, «свой» и «чужой».
The focus of this paper is on the correlation of religious and ethnic consciousness as such, considered on the example of modern Altaians. The features of a new religious movement – white faith or Burkhanism – are described, and a hypothesis that this movement could have been created artificially is put forward. To test this hypothesis, the structure of the white faith is considered as a phenomenon of religious consciousness, to which categories “one’s own” and “foreign” could be applied. In the course of the research, it is noted that the white faith has characteristics of several religious systems that are not mixed with each other. In addition, in its structure, the categories “traditional” and “historical” do not coincide, originating from different sources. This allows the author of the article to conclude that the interest in religion that has recently increased in Altai could be regarded as one of the signs of the struggle of the national consciousness of the Altaians with some internal crises that began in the first decade of the last century. Using the example of Altai Burkhanism, the possibilities of manifestation of ethnic self-consciousness through religious consciousness and the categories connecting them, “one's own” and “foreign”, are analysed.
V.I. Lenin and I.V. Stalin: the Dual Power of Images in the Space of Soviet Postal Policy in the 1920s – 1930s.

Published: June 2024

Изображения всегда были частью коммуникации, в т.ч. политической, поэтому визуальное в 1920–1930-е гг. начинает входить в повседневную жизнь формировавшегося нового социума и выполнять определенную роль по передаче и конструированию представлений о событиях и личностях, формируя оценки, эмоции, решения. Практи-чески сразу образ власти начинает ассоциироваться с лидерами пролетарского государства и участниками Октябрьской революции. В.И. Ленин стремился ограничить крайности такой персонификации, фактически введя запрет на использование своего изображения на знаках почтовой оплаты. Но события января 1924 г. в корне изменили характер визуализации его образа, запустив механизм его сакрализации, создав условия для постепенного формирования визуального двоевластия Именно с середины 1920-х на знаках почтовой оплаты наблюдается устойчивая тенденция к складыванию образа Ленина как посмертной формы культа личности (траурные марки, изображение мавзолея, скульптура, архитектура, почетные названия), и одновременно образа И.В. Сталина как формы живого культа личности, живого воплощения будущего страны. Такой почтовый дуализм дополнительно обеспечивал как внутри страны, так и за рубежом фактическое равновесие двух культов личности, сочетающих в себе прошлое, настоящее и будущее Советского общества и государства.
Images have always been a part of communication, including political communication, so the visual in the 1920s-1930s began to enter the daily life of the emerging new society and play a certain role in transmitting and constructing ideas about events and personalities, forming assessments, emotions and decisions. Almost immediately, the image of power begins to be associated with the new leaders of the proletarian state and participants in the October Revolution. However, before his death, V.I. Lenin deliberately sought to limit the extremes of such personification, in fact introducing a ban on the use of his image on postage stamps. Only the events of January 1924 radically changed the nature of the visualization of his image, triggering the mechanism of his sacralization, creating conditions for the gradual formation of visual dual power, including on postage stamps. From the mid-1920s. there is a steady tendency to fold the image of V.I. Lenin as a posthumous form of personality cult (mourning stamps, an image of a mausoleum, sculpture, architecture, honorary titles), and at the same time the image of I.V. Stalin as a form of a living personality cult, as a living embodiment of the future of the country. As a result, such postal dualism additionally ensured, both within the country and abroad, the actual balance of two personality cults combining the past, present and future of Soviet society and the state.

Одним из центров контркультуры США 1960-х гг. стал район Сан-Франциско – Хэйт-Эшбери. Наряду с символами и образом жизни хиппи, он вобрал в себя ярких представителей нонконформизма: общественных активистов, интеллектуалов и деятелей культуры, создавших и утвердивших новые творческие и жизненные принципы. Это были свободные творческие сообщества, сочетавшие культурные новации с социальными практиками, среди них – рок-группы, театральные коллективы, художники, поэты, философы и политические активисты. Уличный театр «Мим Труппа Сан-Франциско» стал одним из основных центров кристаллизации движения за новую культуру и образ жизни в Калифорнии. В работе использованы такие методы исследования, как историко-генетический и сравнительно-исторический методы, а также метод ивент-анализа, адаптированный к исследованию социокультурной сферы. В статье впервые введён в научный оборот широкий пласт социокультурных источников, на основе которых осуществлён подбор и анализ значимых общественно-политических и культурных событий 1960–1970-х гг., преимущественно в Сан-Франциско, а также их участников с изложением программных выступлений и личных оценок данных событий в проблемно-хронологическом подходе.
One of the centers of the US counterculture of the 1960s was the San Francisco–Haight-Ashbury district. Along with the symbols and lifestyle of hippies, he absorbed the brightest representatives of nonconformism: social activists, intellectuals and cultural figures who created and approved new creative and life principles alternative to those that existed. These were free creative communities that combined cultural innovations with social practices, including rock bands, theater groups, artists, poets, philosophers, and political activists. The San Francisco Mime Troupe Street Theater has become one of the main centers of crystallization of the movement for a new culture and lifestyle in California. The work uses historical-genetic and comparative-historical methods, as well as the method of event analysis adapted to the study of the socio-cultural sphere, which involves the analysis of specific events inscribed in the historical context of the narrative. For the first time, the article introduces into scientific circulation a wide range of socio-cultural sources, on the basis of which the selection and analysis of significant socio-political and cultural events of the 1960s and 70s, mainly in San Francisco, as well as their participants, with a presentation of program speeches and personal assessments of these events in a problem-chronological approach.

В статье поднимается вопрос отражения советской модерности в современном интерактивном тексте. Объектом выступает видеоигра Atomic Heart, в которой выявляется различие между исторической советской темпоральностью и ее восприятием в современной культуре. Делается вывод об особом преломлении категории темпоральности XX в. в людическом тексте. Он становится каркасом, на который интертекстуально наслаиваются узнаваемые игроком элементы реального мира и других художественных произведений. Однако они предстают перед ним в трансформированном виде, что позволяет говорить о том, что мир игры не является слепком эпохи, но представляет собой рефлексию событий XX в.
This paper raises an issue of the reflection of soviet modernity in an interactive text. Within the case study of video game Atomic Heart, the difference between the historical soviet temporality and its perception in modern culture is revealed. It is concluded that in the ludic text, the temporality of the 20th century can be transformed in a special way. The text suits as a core for further intertextual enhancements, namely the artifacts of the real historical period and the elements of other narratives recognized by the player. They appear in a transfigured form proving that the fictional world does not reproduce the epoch but reflects on it.

Abstract

Background
Despite positive results for the use of assistive technologies (ATs) in dementia, the uptake of ATs lags behind. It is considered important to assess determinants of successful or unsuccessful implementation of ATs.

Objective
We explored factors that influence the implementation of ATs for community-dwelling people with dementia, with the aim to better understand potentially effective implementation strategies.

Methods
A cross-sectional survey for researchers was developed and disseminated, exploring factors that influence either successful or unsuccessful implementation of ATs for dementia. The survey consisted of closed and open questions.

Results
The response rate was 10% (21/206); the 21 respondents who completed the survey were from 8 countries. Determinants of implementation were described for 21 ATs, of which 12 were successfully and 9 were unsuccessfully implemented. Various types of ATs were included, such as online platforms, sensors, or physical aids. The main determinants of implementation success were related to the AT itself, contextual factors, research activities, and implementation strategies. There was a lack of research data on some ethical issues and cost-effectiveness.

Conclusions
This study provided insight into some main barriers to and facilitators of implementation of ATs in dementia related to the AT itself, context, research-related activities, and applied implementation strategies. Lessons were formulated for various stakeholders to improve the implementation effectiveness of ATs in dementia.
Evaluation of the index of resistance and excretion of uromodulin in patients with predialysis CKD, taking into account the index of comorbidity
Authors: Denova L.D. 
Published: June 2024

Background. The purpose of this study was to investigate urinary uromodulin (uUMOD) excretion, reactivity of the autonomic nervous system and impaired renal blood circulation in patients with predialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD), the effect of antioxidant therapy on these parameters. Materials and me­thods. Ninety-one patients with CKD stage 1–5 whose ave­rage age was 47.00 ± 12.12 years took part in the ROLUNT (UROmoduLin UbiquinoNe GlutaThione) study. Thirty (32.97 %) men and 61 (67.03 %) women were divided into two groups, which were representative in terms of age and gender composition: group 1 (n = 46) — patients with CKD stage 1–5 who had a Charlson comorbidity index ≤ 2, group 2 (n = 45) — patients with CKD stage 1–5 who had a Charlson comorbidity index ≥ 3. Both groups were divided into subgroups A and B. Subgroups A included patients with impaired vegetative status, subgroups B — those without impaired vegetative status. The first A and second B subgroups took glutathione 100 mg twice a day with food for 3 months, the first B and se­cond A subgroups took ubiquinone 100 mg once a day with food for 3 months. Results. The results of the paired t-test showed that there is a significant difference between the indicators at baseline and at the end of the study. The Pearson correlation results showed that in the group 1 (subgroup A), there is a significant average positive relationship between uUMOD and estimated glomerular filtration rate (r(21) = 0.418, p = 0.047); in the group 1 (subgroup B), there is a significant large positive relationship between uUMOD and Hb indicators (r(21) = 0.513, p = 0.012); a significant very small negative relationship between uUMOD and albumin-creatinine ratio (r(21) = 0.441, p = 0.035); in the group 2 (subgroup A), there is a significant very small negative relationship between uUMOD indicators and Kérdö index (r(20) = 0.427, p = 0.048); in the group 2 (subgroup B), there is a significant very small negative relationship between the uUMOD indicators and Yu.M. Chernov’s questionnaire (r(21) = 0.421, p = 0.045). Conclusions. Antioxidant therapy with glutathione and ubiquinone significantly affects the examination parameters in patients with CKD. Considering the safety and effectiveness of antioxidant therapy, we suggest including it in the treatment protocols for patients with CKD. Further research is re­commended to develop a standard protocol.

Background. The formation of kidney stones is the result of the accumulation of crystals within the kidneys. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is the preferred method for treating stones larger than 2 cm. This study aims to analyse outcomes and experiences of PCNL for kidney stone removal. Materials and methods. It was a descriptive study with a cross-sectional design, utilizing secondary data from electronic medical records in Klungkung General Hospital. There are 91 samples collected using total sampling between October 2020 and August 2023. The analysis was conducted using the SPSS Statistics 26. Results. The 51–60 age group (38.5 %) exhibited the highest prevalence of patients undergoing PCNL surgery. The most common type of stone was solitary (48.4 % of cases), with an average size of 3.570 ± 1.159 cm. The mean duration of the procedure was 38.630 ± 21.667 minutes, with a single puncture utilized in 68.1 % of cases. The pain levels experienced were generally low, with a mean score of 2 on a 10-point scale. The mean length of hospital stay was 2.330 ± 1.012 days. The outcomes of PCNL in patients with kidney stones were favourable, with a high stone-free rate of 92.3 % and minimal complications. Рostoperative complications were infrequent. Conclusions. It is suggested that PCNL is an effective and safe procedure for kidney stone removal.

Published: June 2024

Introduction: Spirostomum ambiguum is commonly used as a biological indicator due to its high sensitivity to heavy metals. It functions normally across a wide pH range of 4.5 to 8.0. Testing on protozoan organisms provides a general understanding of the impact of pH on the toxicity of zinc in pharmaceuticals. By investigating the toxicity of zinc in environment with varying pH levels, the optimal environment for zinc absorption can be determined.
Objective: The objective of this study is to assess the toxicity of zinc sulphate solutions using different forms of hydrating and at various pH levels, applying the Spirotox method.
Methods: An experiment was conducted using a solution of pharmaceutical substances, specifically zinc sulphate heptahydrate and zinc sulphate monohydrate, with a concentration of 0.01 M. The study aimed to investigate the effect of the solution on the lifespan of S.ambiguum within the pH range of 4.8-6.5.
Results: Arrhenius activation energy (Ea linear correlates with LD50 oral toxicity for rats) decreases as pH increases from 4.8 to 6.5 for ⋅7 and ⋅ solutions. The values decrease from 140±10 kJ/mol to 55±10 kJ/mol and from 110±2 kJ/mol to 60±10 kJ/mol, respectively.
Conclusion: It was found that the toxicity of zinc sulphate hydrate solution towards S. ambiguum increased as the pH value increased. Hydrating of the active pharmaceutical substance was a crucial factor, it is critically important for preparation of solutions of an active pharmaceutical substance.
Keywords: zinc sulphate, Spirotox test, pH, activation energy, toxicity.
Review on Study of Nanoparticles in Brain Targeting for Treatment Of Alzheimer’s

Published: June 2024

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an irreversible neurodegenerative disorder, in which there is a progressive deterioration of intellectual and social functions, memory loss, personality changes and inability for self-care, and has become the fourth leading cause of death in developed countries. Pathogenesis of AD, there is a progressive deposition of β-amyloid (Aβ)- peptide in the hippocampal and cerebral cortical regions. This deposition is associated with the presence of neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) and senile plaques. The senile plaques deposited between the neurons consist mainly protein β amyloid. Neurofibrillary tangles deposited inside the neurons fabricated from Tau protein. Diagnosing Alzheimer's requires careful medical evaluation thorough medical history, mental status testing, physical and neurological examination tests (such as blood tests and brain imaging), two classes of medications approved to treat AD. Cholinesterase inhibitors: Donepezil, Rivastigmine, Galantamine, NMDA receptor antagonists: Memantine. The major goal in designing nanoparticles as a delivery system are to control particle size, surface property and release of pharmacologically active agents in order to achieve the site-specific action of the drug at the therapeutic optimum rate and dose regimen of the agent to the CNS, but also the ability of the agent to access the relevant target site within the CNS. Many strategies have been developed to deliver the drug into brain by crossing the BBB: chemical delivery systems, magnetic drug targeting or drug carrier systems such as antibodies, liposomes or nanoparticles. Among those, nanoparticles have got a great concentration as the potential targeted drug delivery systems in the brain recently.

Background: A cesarean infection is a referral hospital acquired bacterial infection that occurs after deliver by cesarean section which could be emergency or elective. As highlighted by the various researchers that the infections following a cesarean delivery, which some people call a C-section, are common. The wound coming into contact with bacteria or other harmful microbes is a common cause of these infections. The main objective of this study was the assessment of bacteria isolated from cesarean infection patients attending Ruhengeri level two teaching hospital.
Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted and total of 30 wound swabs of cesarean were collected from inpatient of Ruhengeri level two teaching hospital.Data were analyzed using SPSS statistical software (version 20).
Results: The results showed that the most predominant bacteria isolated from patients with cesarean infection was S. aureus (28.1%) followed by S. pyogenes (18.8%), K. pneumoniae (18.8%), P. aeruginosa (12.5%), S.epidermidis (9.4%), E. coli (6.3%) and P. mirabilis(6.3%). Antibiotics sensitivity test was performed, so this study showed the predominant antibiotic which were sensitively to different bacteria were Chloramphenicol, Gentamycin and Norfloxacin and most bacteria were resistance to Rifampicin and Vancomycin.
Conclusion: This study has shown that there are many bacteria that may be isolated in cesarean infection. It has also shown that some of the isolated bacteria were sensitive and other were resistant to Rifampicin and Vancomycin. The study recommends that Rwandan government should create more clinical microbiological laboratory, in Rwanda, in order to minimize the antibiotic resistance and also on the side of health care providers, especially at Ruhengeri level two teaching hospital, they should use the experienced workers in order to minimise the risks of getting caesarean infection and also to recommend the patients taking care their wound.

Annona Senegalensis Pers. (Annonaceae) is a medicinal plant used to treat many pathologies, including inflammatory diseases and pain. The aim of this study was to investigate the analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties of Annona Senegalensis leaves aqueous extract in mice and rats. The analgesic activity was evaluated using the acetic acid (1%) induced writhing test and formalin (1%) test. The anti-inflammatory activity was performed using the carrageenan and the dextran induced hind paw oedema in rats.
The extract induced a significant (p<0.05) and dose-dependent decrease in abdominal contortions compared with control mice. The maximum inhibition was 63.36% at the dose of 200 mg/kg body weight. Only the late phase of formalin induced nociception was significantly inhibited by the extract with a maximum inhibition value of 56.96% at the dose of 200 mg/kg body weight. In the anti-inflammatory investigation, the aqueous extract of the leaves of Annona Senegalensis produced a significant (p<0.05) and dose-dependent decrease in edema induced by carrageenan and dextran. The maximum inhibition was 57.14% obtained at the fifth hour at the dose of 200mg/kg for the carrageenan test. For the dextran test, the maximum inhibition was 59.80% obtained at the second hour at the dose of 200 mg/kg body weight.
Our results show that Annona Senegalensis has peripheral analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. It could therefore be an advantage in alternative medicine.
