Anesthetic and cardiorespiratory effects of a 1:1 mixture of propofol and thiopental sodium in dogs
Authors: Ko Jeff C. H. , Golder Francis J. , Mandsager Ronald E. , Heaton-Jones Terrel , Mattern Kara L. 
Published: December 2023

Objective
To compare anesthetic and cardiorespiratory effects of a 1:1 (vol:vol) mixture of propofol and thiopental sodium with either drug used alone in dogs.

Design
Randomized crossover study.

Animals
10 healthy Walker Hounds.

Procedure
Dogs received propofol (6 mg/kg [2.7 mg/lb] of body weight), thiopental (15 mg/kg [6.8 mg/lb]), or a mixture of propofol (6 mg/kg) and thiopental (15 mg/kg) at 1-week intervals. Drugs were slowly administered IV over 90 seconds or until dogs lost consciousness. Increments of 10% of the initial dose were administered until intubation was possible. Amount of drug required for intubation, quality of induction and recovery, times from induction to intubation and to walking with minimal ataxia, and duration of intubation and lateral recumbency were recorded. Heart and respiratory rates, mean, systolic, and diastolic blood pressure, hemoglobin saturation of oxygen (Spo2), and end-tidal CO2 concentration (ETco2) were determined before and after intubation.

Results
Amounts of propofol and thiopental required to permit intubation were less, but not significantly so, when administered in combination than when administered alone. Duration of lateral recumbency and time from induction to walking were greater and recovery quality was worse in the thiopental group, compared with the other groups. Dogs in all groups remained normotensive. Respiratory rate, heart rate, ETsco2, and Spo2 did not differ among groups.

Conclusions and Clinical Relevance
A 1:1 mixture of propofol and thiopental induced anesthesia of similar quality to propofol or thiopental alone. Recovery quality and recovery times were similar to those of propofol and superior to those of thiopental. (J Am Vet Med Assoc 1999;215:1292–1296)

“Being Treated Like a Fetal Container is Enraging”: Examining Anger and Anxiety in Contemporary American Reproductive Dystopias
Authors: Andreescu Raluca 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The paper examines the manner in which female anger and anxiety are channelled through two recent American reproductive dystopias, Leni Zumas’s Red Clocks (2018) and Louise Erdrich’s Future Home of the Living God (2017). Starting from these two novels, I argue that anger and anxiety in feminist dystopias represent both the vehicle for political and social critique and the response to (potential) oppressive reproductive practices.
Carmen Sylva (Queen Elisabeth of Romania): A Trans-National Writer
Authors: Mudure Mihaela 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Elisabeth of Neuwied (1843-1916) was the first Queen of Romania and the wife of Charles I Hollenzolern-Sigmaringen. As a writer she is known under the name of Carmen Sylva. The Queen was a very active and gifted personality but one of her main interests was literature. This article focuses on Carmen Sylva’s literary position as a writer who rejected narrow nationalism although her public position obliged her to impersonate Romanian values while integrating them into an Occident all too eager to spread all over the place. Carmen Sylva is an interesting case of a European trans-national literary identity.
Rainwater harvesting and water-saving irrigation for enhancing land productivity in upland rice cultivation
Authors: Heryani Nani , Kartiwa Budi , Rejekiningrum Popi , Pramudia Aris , Sosiawan Hendri 
Published: December 2023

The development of dry land requires precise planning due to its climate-sensitive nature. It is essential to ensure water availability to meet crop water requirements. Rainwater harvesting remains underutilized in upland rice cultivation. The field experiment was conducted in Tulungagung Regency, East Java province, Indonesia from August to December 2017. The research aimed to develop water harvesting technology and irrigation management for upland rice. The nested design was the experimental design with irrigation levels and varieties of upland rice treatments. Four irrigation levels were farmer's customs, 70%, 85%, and 100% of the crop water requirement, while the varieties were Situ Patenggang, Inpago-9, and Inpago-11. Our findings revealed that 70% of the crop water requirement was sufficient for upland rice cultivation in dryland. Crop yields were unaffected by the irrigation level. Differences among upland rice varieties were only significant on plant height character. There was an increased cropping index due to additional water sources in the last months of the dry season until the early rainy season. Rainwater harvesting can be adapted to climate change, especially in areas that often experience water shortages.

ТРАДИЦІЙНИЙ НАРОДНИЙ ЖІНОЧИЙ ОДЯГ ЗАХІДНОЇ ВОЛИНІ
Authors: ЩИБРЯ Володимир , ХОМЕНКО Наталія 
Published: December 2023

Мета статті – дослідити комплекси жіночого вбрання Західної Волині кінця ХІХ – середини ХХ ст., охарактеризувати матеріали, типи крою та оздоблення, визначити їх вузько локальні особливості. Методи дослідження. У дослідженні використано низку загальнонаукових і спеціальних методів: типологічного аналізу, порівняльно-історичного, статистичного, структурно-функціонального, польових досліджень, а також безпосереднього спостереження. Наукова новизна полягає у тому, що у статті вперше зібрано і систематизовано матеріали архівних, друкованих, експедиційних і музейних джерел щодо традиційного одягу Західної Волині кінця ХІХ – середини ХХ ст.; визначено його локальні особливості; до наукового обігу введено нову термінологію; уточнено географічні межі поширення певних явищ. Висновки. Народний одяг Західної Волині, попри трансформації та модифікації, які відбулися наприкінці ХІХ – на поч. ХХ ст, зберіг особливий колорит. Однією з визначальних ознак натільного одягу аналізованого регіону є колір вишивки, а саме – чорний. Традиція чорновишитих сорочок охоплює Сокальський, Іваничівський, Володимир-Волинський і Горохівський райони Волинської області, а також значну частину Грубешівського повіту Люблінського воєводства Республіки Польща, що вказує на недоцільність вживання назв “сокальські” та “надбужанські”. Наступна локальна ознака – довгі відкладні коміри на жіночих сорочках. Щодо жіночого поясного одягу, то найбільш характерними були спідниці, пошиті зі смугастого полотна у вузькі синьо-білі поздовжні та поперечні паси, які мають локальну назву – “валивка”. Пояси на Західній Волині були у вигляді смугастих вузьких крайок. Серед нагрудного жіночого одягу, окрім “горсетів”, “станіків” та “шнуровиць”, у першій половині ХХ ст. поширюються “камізельки”. З-поміж верхнього доцільно назвати зразки, які виникли під впливом міської моди – “сиваки”, “косачки”, “сачки”, “пінжаки”.
Ключові слова: Західна Волинь, традиційний одяг, натільний одяг, поясний одяг, нагрудний одяг.
Influence of Foliar Application of Boron on the Growth, Yield and Quality of Sesame (cv. BARI Til-4)
Authors: Dey Apu , Begum Mahfuza , Kabiraj Md. Sojib , Rashid Md. Harun , Paul Swapan Kumar 
Published: December 2023

Foliar supplementation may be useful for boron to a crop when its demands are higher compared to the supply from soil. Boron is an important micronutrient which had a substantial impact on oil content, seed yield, and the components of the sesame yield. A field investigation was implemented to determine the impact of foliar application of boron on seed yield, growth and oil content of sesame cv. BARI Til-4. The investigation included four concentrations of boron viz. 0, 25, 50, and 75 ppm and three frequencies of boron application viz. one time at 30 days after sowing (DAS), two times at 30 and 50 DAS, and three times at 30, 50, and 70 DAS. The experiment was conducted following randomized complete block design, which was replicated thrice. At the vegetative stage, the highest plant height (107.3 cm), branches/plant (5.0) and shoot dry weight (45.20 g/plant) resulted in 75 ppm boron spray at 30, 50 and 70 DAS. However, the highest root dry weight (5.80 g/plant) was recorded in 75 ppm with one application of boron at 30 DAS. The plants with the highest plant height (112.1 cm), branches/plant (5.13), pods/plant (44.13), seeds/pod (54.33), seed yield (609.0 kg/ha), harvest index (30.65%), and oil content (42.33%) were also observed with the combination of 75 ppm boron spray with thrice application at 30, 50 and 70 DAS. The lowest seed yield (368.7 kg/ha) resulted in without boron application. Therefore, it can be inferred that the most efficient method for increasing the sesame seed yield and oil content is thrice (30, 50, and 70 DAS) foliar spraying of 75 ppm boron.
A Comprehensive Study on the Competitiveness of Governing Structures of Bulgarian Farming
Authors: Kargı Bilal , Bachev Hrabrin 
Published: December 2023

The farm is an abstract category in Economic theory for describing agents managing farming activity, while the real governing structures are farms of different juridical types – physical persons, sole traders, cooperatives, ago=companies, etc. Most of the time, farm’s competitiveness is inadequately assessed through technical and accountancy efficiency, factors’ productivity, profitability, market shares, etc. because critical governance aspects are ignored. This article incorporates the interdisciplinary New Institutional Economics assumptions and principles and tries to give new insights on the real competitiveness of economic organizations in modern agriculture. It suggests a holistic framework for assessing farm’ competitiveness taking into account economic, financial, and governance efficiency, and evaluates absolute and comparative competitiveness of governing structures of Bulgarian farming. The novel assessment system includes four pillars, four criteria, 17 particular, and 5 integral indicators. The first-in-kind evaluation, based on survey data, found that the competitiveness of Bulgarian farms is good. The competitiveness of cooperatives is highest, followed by corporations and associations, sole traders, and physical persons. Critical for competitive positions of farms are: low productivity, income, financial security, and adaptability to natural environment, where public support and farms’ management strategies should be directed. Large shares of the country’s farms have low competitiveness, and if measures are not taken to improve management, restructuring, state support, etc., many farms will cease to exist in the near future. In some cases, other characteristics of governing structures like size, specialization, market orientation, and ecological location, are critical for determining competitiveness level. The suggested and successfully tested framework for assessing the competitiveness of farms should be further improved and applied more widely and periodically in the country and internationally. The precision and representativeness of the information used should also be improved by increasing the number of surveyed farms and their important characteristics. The later requires close cooperation with producer organizations, national agricultural advisory service, and other interested parties as well as extending and improving the system for collecting agro-statistical information in the country and the EU.
Job Opportunities for Students in their Major after Graduation - A Case Study at Da Lat University
Authors: Thi Thuy Dung Vu , Minh Chien Le 
Published: December 2023

Job opportunities after graduation for students and job opportunities in the right major have become important indicators in assessing the training quality of universities in Vietnam today. Based on an online investigation of 264 students who have graduated within the past 10 years at Da Lat University, this article evaluates the job opportunities and jobs in the right major after graduation for university students in the past 10 years, correlated with personal factors, family factors, school factors and the labor market. Research results show that the main job market for post-graduate students is mainly in the public sector, education and training sector, and commune and ward level specialists. While students who work in their majors tend to choose jobs because of their passion and interests, students who have jobs in the wrong majors choose jobs because of economic income. This suggests policy implications for students themselves, universities and the labor market in the present and the future.
Keywords: Job opportunities, jobs in the right major, jobs after graduation, students.

Resultados: A prevalência de TMC foi de 38,9%. Fatores sociodemográficos e laborais associaram-se à ocorrência de TMC, no entanto, apenas o sexo apresentou significância estatística (p < 0.036). Conclusão: Nota-se elevada prevalência de TMC entre trabalhadores de enfermagem intensivista, fato que pode ter sido agravado pela pandemia da COVID-19. Além disso, observa-se que a persistência de desigualdades de gênero pode ter contribuído para elevar a prevalência de TMC entre as mulheres. Ressalta-se a necessidade de mudanças institucionais para redução das desigualdades de gênero e promoção de um ambiente de trabalho mais saudável
Funeral and Memorial Rites and the Role of Ritual Specialists Among Russian-Yurlians
Authors: Королёва С.Ю. , Тихонова М.А. 
Published: December 2023

В статье на примере одной микролокальной традиции показано состояние похоронно-поминальной обрядности юрлинцев — этнографической группы русских, проживающих в коми-пермяцком окружении. Материалом послужили интервью с ритуальным специалистом с. Усть-Зула Пермского края и наблюдение домашнего поминовения в 2013 г. На обследованной территории сохраняются традиционные ритуалы и диалектная обрядовая терминология, архаичный пласт которых содержит семантику дороги на тот свет (сбор «котомочки» для умершего, проводы души и т.п.). Местная кухня включает блюда, вышедшие из повседневного рациона, но сохраняющие статус ритуальной пищи. Усложненный характер юрлинской обрядности делает востребованной фигуру ритуального специалиста — распорядителя, знатока традиционной обрядовой лирики и фольклоризованных поминальных молитв. Важную роль в обряде играют обращения к умершему, которые выстраиваются из формульных выражений, стилистически связанных с молитвами, заговорами, причетами; владение навыком такого разговора, как и комплексом жанров похоронно-поминального фольклора, является показателем мастерства сельского ритуального специалиста. Домашнее поминовение имеет четкую структуру, но является гибкой обрядовой формой, которая может адаптироваться к особым случаям и приобретать «многослойную» прагматику (просьба о прощении у умерших за нарушение ритуальной нормы, публичное покаяние, укрепление статуса ритуального специалиста и др.).
This article considers the current state of funeral and memorial rites of the Yurlians, a group of Russians living in the Komi-Permyak area. It describes traditions of the village of Ust-Zula in the Perm region, and is based on interviews with ritual specialists and the observation of home memorial services carried out in 2013. In the territory under investigation, traditional rites and ritual terminology in dialect are well preserved. The archaic linguistic stratum includes the semantics of a road to another world (packing a “bag” for the deceased, seeing the soul out, etc.). Yurlian cuisine contains dishes that have gone out of everyday use but have the status of ritual food. The complicated character of the Yurlian ritual creates a need for a ritual specialist. This is a kind of manager, a connoisseur of traditional ceremonial lyrics and folklorized funeral prayers. An important role in the ceremony is played by conversation with the deceased, which can be built up from formulaic expressions stylistically related to prayers, spells, and laments. Skill in leading such conversations, as well as in other genres of funeral folklore, is part of the “professional mastery” of a rural ritual specialist. Home memorial rite has a stable structure, but it turns out to be a flexible ritual form that can adapt to special cases and acquire “multi-layered” pragmatics (asking for forgiveness from the deceased, for public repentance, strengthening the status of a ritual specialist, etc.).
Moscow Conservatory Folk Expeditions to the Starodubsky Region in the 1950s (On the History of Field Study Under the Leadership of Klyment Kvitka)
Authors: Битерякова Е.В. 
Published: December 2023

Статья посвящена экспедициям Московской консерватории в Стародубский район Брянской области, инициированным профессором К.В. Квиткой в 1950-е гг. Уникальные аудиозаписи, многочисленные рукописные полевые заметки и фотодокументы на протяжении ряда десятилетий оставались неопубликованными и не введенными в научный обиход. Между тем материалы, собранные сотрудниками Кабинета по изучению музыкального творчества народов СССР Л.А. Бачинским и К.Г. Свитовой, сохраняют научную и художественную ценность в наши дни, а их совместная работа может быть вписана в историю отечественной фольклористики как один из важнейших ее эпизодов. На основе изучения фонограмм и рукописных документов, хранящихся в фондах Научного центра народной музыки им. К.В. Квитки, автором статьи воссозданы обстоятельства полевой работы в 1950-е гг., уточнены ее цели и задачи, а также дана общая оценка материалов и итогов. Главными достижениями собирателей признаны высококачественная запись на студийной аппаратуре образцов ансамблевого пения и сольной инструментальной игры в период активного бытования местных народных традиций и фиксация значительного объема этнографических сведений.
This article is devoted to the expeditions of the Moscow Conservatory to the Starodubsky region of the Bryansk region in the 1950s, initiated by Prof. Klyment Kvitka. Their unique audio recordings, handwritten field notes and photographic documents have mostly remained unpublished and not been introduced into scholarly use. Still, these materials, collected by Leo Batchinsky and Klavdia Svitova, retain their scholarly and artistic value today, and their joint work can be inscribed in the history of Russian ethnomusicology as an important episode. On the basis of phonograms and handwritten documents stored in the Klyment Kvitka Research Center for Folk Music, the author analyzes the circumstances of this field work in the 1950s, clarifying its goals and objectives, and gives a general assessment of its results. Batchinsky and Svitova’s main achievements include high-quality recordings of ensemble singing and solo instrumentals, created during a time of active local folk traditions, and the collection of a significant amount of ethnographic information.
The Biography of Folklore Collector Helliodore Rusov and His Collection of Tales in “The Olonets Provincial Gazette”
Authors: Абросимова Д.Д. 
Published: December 2023

Работа выполнена в русле одного из современных направлений фольклористики — изучения биографий и деятельности по собиранию и публикации фольклора провинциальных собирателей. С привлечением новых архивных материалов в статье «с нуля» реконструируется биография одного из таких рядовых собирателей первого десятилетия ХХ в., ветеринара по профессии И.А. Русова. Эта биография сама по себе довольно необычна в силу неоднократной смены места жительства героя очерка: его перемещения по стране охватили окраины Российской империи, находившиеся в противоположных ее концах, а после революции и вовсе вышедшие за ее пределы. Как собиратель фольклора И.А. Русов опубликовал в газете «Олонецкие губернские ведомости» две подборки фольклорных текстов, заговоров и сказок. Сказки — фольклорный жанр, образцы которого редко публиковались на страницах олонецких периодических изданий. Помимо биографического исследования в статье сделана попытка определить место сказочных сюжетов, записанных ветеринаром, среди тех, что были известны в русской традиции. В результате автор приходит к выводу, что среди них есть не только распространенные, но и редкие сюжеты, требующие дальнейшего изучения.
One of the trends of contemporary folklore research is the study of provincial folklorists’ biographies, as well as their work collecting and publishing folklore. This article presents one such biography based on newly obtained archival materials concerning Helliodore Rusov, a veterinarian by profession. Rusov’s biography is quite unusual because of his many changes of residence; he moved from one corner of the Russian empire to another, and after the Revolution of 1917, left the country altogether. As a folklore collector, Rusov published two selections of texts in “The Olonets Provincial Gazette”, one of spells and the other of tales. The latter is a genre of folklore rarely published in periodicals from Olonets province. Together with a biographical study of Rusov, the article discusses the place of these tales’ plots within the Russian tradition. The author finds that among them there are not only common ones but also those that are rare and deserving of further study.
The Publishing History of the First Collections of Abkhazian Folk Tales
Authors: Пилия М.Ф. 
Published: December 2023

В статье рассматриваются первые сборники абхазских народных сказок. Один из них — сборник «Абхазские сказки» (1909), составленный И.И. Гулиа. В него вошли три текста на абхазском языке с русским переводом, всего в книге десять страниц. Второй — сборник «Абхазские сказки» под общей редакцией А.К. Хашба и В.И. Кукба, который большим тиражом вышел в свет в 1935 г. на русском языке, а в 1936 г. — на абхазском языке, т.е. на языке оригинала. Абхазские народные сказки в разные годы публиковались в сборниках, газетах и других периодических изданиях, но до выхода вышеназванных книг не было их отдельного, специального собрания.
This article discusses the first two collections of Abkhazian folk tales: the ten-page “Abkhazian Fairy Tales” (1909), compiled by I.I. Gulia; and “Abkhazian Fairy Tales” under the general editorship of A.K. Khashba and V.I. Kukba, which was published in a large edition in 1935 in Russian, and in 1936 — in the original Abkhaz language. The 1909 collection includes three texts in the Abkhaz language, with Russian translation. Abkhazian folk tales have been published in various collections, newspapers and other publications over the years, but there was no separate collection of them before the publication of these two collections.
