Taoist and Buddhist Terminology in Chang-chun zhen-ren xi you ji (&quot;Xi you ji, or Description of the Journey to the West&quot;) Translated by Father Palladius (Kafarov)
Authors: Lenkov Pavel 
Published: December 2023

The article is devoted to the study of the contribution of Peter Ivanovich Kafarov (Archimandrite Palladius) (1817–1878) to the study of Taoism. Kafarov translated the work “Notes on the Journey to the West of the Perfect Man Chang-chun” (Chang-chun zhen-ren xi you ji) which tells about the journey of the famous Taoist master Qiu Chang-chun (Qiu Chu-ji) to the temporary residence of Genghis Khan. The text describes the journey, the places along the route, and the people whom Qiu Chang-chun and Li Zhi-chang met along the way. Xi you ji also contains many poems by Qiu Chang-chun written in various genres. Kafarov&apos;s translation was first published in 1866, and republished in 1910 and 2020. This work is one of the first translations into Russian of the text of the Taoist religion (daojiao) in general and the texts of the Quanzhen school in particular. It seems very interesting to investigate how the translations of Taoist terms proposed in the 1860s look like from the point of view of today&apos;s science. The article analyzes the translations of Taoist and Buddhist terminology made by P.I. Kafarov. Based on this analysis, the following conclusions were drawn: (1) P.I. Kafarov was the first Russian Sinologist who saw that the late Taoist religion is a very Buddhized teaching. Kafarov had an excellent understanding of the significant influence of Buddhism on the Taoist religion and took this into account in his translations and notes. (2) Kafarov tried to make the translations as understandable as possible for the non-specialist readers. The “Christianization” of terms, which is typical for the translations of the 19th century, is minimal in Kafarov&apos;s work. Only a few such passages can be found in the translation, primarily including term “sin”. (4) Many translations of Taoist terms can be considered quite adequate from the point of view of modern Daology. It can be seen that P.I. Kafarov was fully aware of the alchemical nature of some Taoist terms and the esoteric nature of Taoism in general.

Introduction. One of the directions in Fabry–Perot antenna design consists in increasing its operation frequency range. In the present work, we set out to develop a Fabry–Perot antenna with a smooth gain pattern across a wide frequency range. To that end, a tunable slot antenna based on a thin-film ferroelectric varactor was used. The major development criterion was a high uniformity of the gain pattern, not exceeding 1 dB in the given frequency band. Aim. To develop a Fabry–Perot antenna for the 4.9–5.5 GHz frequency range with a high gain uniformity within the operating frequency band.Materials and methods. The antenna under development was based on thin-film ferroelectric capacitors as tunable elements. Fluoroplastic plates metallized on both sides were used as a dielectric material for manufacturing a frequency selected surface and a slot antenna. The parameters of ferroelectric elements were measured using a resonance technique, while the parameters of the dielectric material were determined using the Nicholson–Ross–Weir method.Results. The developed antenna has an operating frequency band of 4.9–5.5 GHz. Samples of ferroelectric capacitors and foiled dielectric material were manufactured and experimentally investigated. A tunable slot antenna was fabricated, and its characteristics were measured. The simulation results show that the gain value of the developed Fabry–Perot antenna is not less than 10 dB in the operation frequency range. Variations in the gain value within the operating frequency band do not exceed 0.7 dB.Conclusion. A Fabry–Perot antenna based on an electrically tunable slot antenna and a two-layer frequency-selective surface was developed. The operating frequency band of the developed device ranges within 4.9–5.5 GHz, which corresponds to the frequency band of Wi-Fi networks. Optimization of the antenna design parameters made it possible to achieve higher gain values under their minor variations in the operation frequency band.
GEÇMİŞTEN GÜNÜMÜZE GELENEKSEL KARADENİZ ÇÖMLEKÇİLİĞİNİN SON FIRINLARI
Authors: BEDER Samet 
Published: December 2023

İnsanlık tarihinin başlarından itibaren günümüze kadar durmaksızın üretimi yapılan çömlek kap ve kacakların kullanıma hazır hale gelmesi için en önemli aşamalardan biri olan fırınlama, çömlekçiliğin ilk ortaya çıktığı zamanlardan bu yana sayısız gelişim göstermiştir. Açıkta pişirim yönteminden yerde pişirim yapılan fırınlara, ardından gelen gelişmiş çift katlı fırınlar ile dragon fırınlarına kadar farklı teknikler ile inşa edilip kullanılan bu pişirim düzeneklerinin örnekleri günümüze kadar gelebilmiştir.
İncelemeye Doğu Karadeniz bölgesinin Artvin Borçka ilçesi, Gümüşhane Dölek Köyü ve Bayburt, Trabzon ilinde bulunan çömlek fırınları ile Orta Karadeniz’in Ordu Ünye ilçesi ve Tokat ilinde yer alan çömlek fırınları dahil olmak üzere toplamda altı fırın dahil edilmiştir. Karşılaştığımız çömlek fırınları arasında da yerde pişirim fırınları ve çift katlı çömlek fırınlarına yönelik çeşitli örneklere rastlanmıştır. İncelemesi yapılan kimi atıl olan kimi de halen aktif olarak kullanılan bu fırınların çalışma prensipleri, iç yapıları, genel yapı malzemeleri ve pişirim süreleri gibi bilgiler toparlanarak belgelenmiştir. Varlığı hakkında az bilgiye rastlanılan bu çömlek üretim merkezlerinde bulunan fırınlar bölgedeki çömlekçilik faaliyetleri hakkında da bilgi sağlamaktadır. İncelenen fırınların çalışma prensipleri benzer yapıdaki fırınlar ile karşılaştırılarak bölgeler arasındaki üretim benzerlikleri ve yine bölgedeki üretim alışkanlıkları konusundaki farklılıklar ele alınmıştır. Fırın çeşitlerine göre ve bölgedeki özel fırınlama tekniklerine bağlı olarak pişirim süresinin 2 saatten 48 saate kadar çıkabildiği soğuma süresinin 1 saatten 12 saate kadar değişiklik gösterebildiği sonucuna ulaşılırken fırınlarda kullanılan yakacakların da bölgeden bölgeye değişiklik gösterdiği, kimi bölgede çevre ormanlardan getirilen ağaçlar ile kimi bölgelerde ise eski ahşap eşyaların parçalanıp yakacak olarak kullanıldığı bilgisine ulaşılmıştır.
Orta ve Doğu Karadeniz bölgesindeki bu çömlek üretim merkezlerinin günümüzde eskiye nazaran daha az üretim yaptıkları anlaşılsa da atıl fırınları da dahil ettiğimizde bu bölgede yüz yıl öncesine kadar yoğun çömlekçilik faaliyetlerinin sürdürüldüğünü söylemek doğru olacaktır. Bölgede çömlek üretimini destekler şekilde sık ormanlar bulunması atölyeler için kolay yakacak elde etme olanağı sağlarken, çömlek yapımına uygun toprak yataklarının yer alması da hammadde teminini kolaylaştırmıştır.

Comparative analysis of foreign and Russian software for libraries
Authors: Smirnov Yu. V. 
Published: December 2023

The author accomplishes comparative analysis of Russian and foreign software for the library sector. The need for such analysis is determined by the strategy of import substitution stimulated by the Western sanctions. Software and databases recommended for purchase and application on the territory of the Russian Federation are included into the Russian Software Register and Eurasian Software Register. Every library uses its own software package, however, the essential software includes operating system, web browser, office suite, automated library information system (ALIS). The author compares the core functionality of each software type: OS (Microsoft Windows, Astra Linux, Alt Linux, RedOS), web browsers (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Yandex Browse), and office software suite (Microsoft Office, LibreOffice, MyOffice, R7-Office). The comparison between foreign and Russian ALIS is inappropriate because, unlike other software categories, Russian ALISes were initially developed by Russian companies in Russian reality, in accordance with Russian laws and Russian traditions of librarianship. The author suggests that the main functionality of foreign and national software beyond the accomplished analysis (e. g. video editors, drawing programs, etc.) is also similar. Based on the comparative analysis of foreign and Russian software, the author concludes that their core functionality are similar which means that import substitution would not impact the organizational information processes significantly.The paper is prepared under the Government Order to RNPLS&T for 2023, project No. 720000F.99.1.BN60AA03000, theme No. 1021062311369-1- 1.2.1;5.8.2,5.8.3.

Published: December 2023

A large-scale series of cyclic triaxial tests were conducted to explore the evolution of the dynamic resilient modulus of silty clay for the heavy-haul railway subgrade. A novel loading sequence for measuring the dynamic resilient modulus was established, which characterized the dynamic stress state of the subgrade induced by the heavy-haul train load. In the experimental investigation, the deviatoric stresses, confining stress, initial moisture content, and compaction degree were considered as variables, and the effects of the aforementioned variables were evaluated quantitatively. The experimental results showed that the dynamic resilient modulus was negatively related to deviatoric stresses and initial moisture content, where the average decreased rates were 14.65% and 27.79% with the increase in deviatoric stresses from 60 kPa to 150 kPa and increase in the initial moisture content from 9.8% to 15.8%, respectively. Furthermore, the dynamic resilient modulus was positively related to confining stress and compaction degree, where the average increased rates were 23.25% and 27.48% with the increase in confining stress from 20 kPa to 60 kPa and increase in compaction degree from 0.91 to 0.95. To provide a better application, the two high-accuracy predicted methods were established through the empirical model and artificial neural network approach including the aforementioned variables. This study can provide useful guidelines for the effective and safe design of the heavy-haul railway subgrade filled with silty clay.

Published: December 2023

Actinobacteria are known for their production of bioactive specialized metabolites, but they are still under-exploited. This study uses the “One Strain Many Compounds” (OSMAC) method to explore the potential of three preselected marine-derived actinobacteria: Salinispora arenicola (SH-78) and two Micromonospora sp. strains (SH-82 and SH-57). Various parameters, including the duration of the culture and the nature of the growth medium, were modified to assess their impact on the production of specialized metabolites. This approach involved a characterization based on chemical analysis completed with the construction of molecular networks and biological testing to evaluate cytotoxic and antiplasmodial activities. The results indicated that the influence of culture parameters depended on the studied species and also varied in relation with the microbial metabolites targeted. However, common favorable parameters could be observed for all strains such as an increase in the duration of the culture or the use of the A1 medium. For Micromonospora sp. SH-82, the solid A1 medium culture over 21 days favored a greater chemical diversity. A rise in the antiplasmodial activity was observed with this culture duration, with a IC50 twice as low as for the 14-day culture. Micromonospora sp. SH-57 produced more diverse natural products in liquid culture, with approximately 54% of nodes from the molecular network specifically linked to the type of culture support. Enhanced biological activities were also observed with specific sets of parameters. Finally, for Salinispora arenicola SH-78, liquid culture allowed a greater diversity of metabolites, but intensity variations were specifically observed for some metabolites under other conditions. Notably, compounds related to staurosporine were more abundant in solid culture. Consequently, in the range of the chosen parameters, optimal conditions to enhance metabolic diversity and biological activities in these three marine-derived actinobacteria were identified, paving the way for future isolation works.
Impact of 17β-Estradiol on the Shape, Survival, Osteogenic Transformation, and mRNA Expression of Gingiva-Derived Stem Cell Spheroids
Authors: Kim Ju-Hwan , Lee Hyun-Jin , Song Hye-Jung , Park Jun-Beom 
Published: December 2023

Background and Objectives: Mesenchymal stem cells hold promise for tissue regeneration, given their robust growth and versatile differentiation capabilities. An analysis of bone marrow-sourced mesenchymal stem cell proliferation showed that 17β-estradiol could enhance their growth. This study aims to investigate the influence of 17β-estradiol on the shape, survival, osteogenic differentiation, and mineralization of human mesenchymal stem cells. Materials and Methods: Spheroids made from human gingiva-derived stem cells were cultivated with varying concentrations of 17β-estradiol: 0, 0.01, 0.1, 1, and 10 nM. Morphology was assessed on days 1, 3, and 5. The live/dead kit assay was employed on day 3 for qualitative cell viability, while cell counting kit-8 was used for quantitative viability assessments on days 1, 3, and 5. To evaluate the osteogenic differentiation of the spheroids, a real-time polymerase chain reaction assessed the expressions of RUNX2 and COL1A1 on day 7. Results: The stem cells formed cohesive spheroids, and the inclusion of 17β-estradiol did not noticeably alter their shape. The spheroid diameter remained consistent across concentrations of 0, 0.01, 0.1, 1, and 10 nM of 17β-estradiol. However, cellular viability was boosted with the addition of 1 and 10 nM of 17β-estradiol. The highest expression levels for RUNX2 and COL1A1 were observed with the introduction of 17β-estradiol at 0.1 nM. Conclusions: In conclusion, from the results obtained, it can be inferred that 17β-estradiol can be utilized for differentiating stem cell spheroids. Furthermore, the localized and controlled use, potentially through localized delivery systems or biomaterials, can be an area of active research. While 17β-estradiol holds promise for enhancing stem cell applications, any clinical use requires a thorough understanding of its mechanisms, careful control of its dosage and delivery, and extensive testing to ensure safety and efficacy.
