Flexible, stretchable, and highly sensitive piezoresistive strain sensors based on modified PEDOT:PSS layers with nickel microparticles
Authors: Ramadan Rehab , Martín-Palma Raúl J. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Here, we describe the development and fabrication of a flexible, stretchable, and conductive piezoresistive strain sensor based on poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS). This sensor, which can detect small strains, shows a remarkable sensitivity due to the presence of a layer of interconnected Ni microparticles (NiMPs) on its surface. Furthermore, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was used as a matrix to improve the elasticity of the conducting PEDOT:PSS membrane. Accordingly, a piezoresistive strain sensor composed of PEDOT:PSS, PVA and a layer of NiMPs (PEDOT:PSS/PVA/NiMPs) was fabricated and its electrical signal, stability and response time were studied at different strains and bending angles. NiMPs were stuck on the conducting polymer and distributed uniformly by a very simple and costless method using a magnetic stirring bar magnet. The applied strains varied from 0–28%, which is the typical range of human body movements (arms, fingers, knees, and feet, facial expressions and breathing rate). The experimental results show an outstanding performance of the sensors compared with other strain sensors based on PEDOT:PSS.

Published: October 2023

Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a self-adaptive viscosity-type inertial extragradient algorithm to solve monotone variational inequality problem and paramonotone equilibrium problem in real Hilbert space. Based on the self-adaptive method, inertial technique is used to accelerate the convergence rate of the method. Under the assumption of monotonicity of the related mappings, the strong convergence of the iterative algorithm is established. The results presented here improve and generalize many existing results in this direction. Mathmatical subject classification: Primary: 90C33; Secondary: 49J52
Claimant and clinician perspectives on sources of claimant distress in interactions with Australian compensation schemes: A qualitative study
Authors: Sim Alison , McNeilage Amy G. , Ashton-James Claire E. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract

Purpose
Recovering from compensable injuries can be influenced by a variety of factors including the claimant’s experience of distress during the claims process. In order to develop cross-scheme, nation-wide strategies to improve claimants’ interactions with the compensation system, reduce claimant distress, and improve claimant outcomes, it is important to understand sources of claims-related distress from the perspective of both claimants and clinicians.
Methods
Semi-structured interviews with 13 claimants and 26 clinicians from four injury compensation schemes in five Australian states were conducted. A collaborative and reflexive thematic analysis was undertaken with an inductive approach to coding, and themes were constructed for claimants and clinicians across compensation schemes.
Results
Claimants and clinicians interviews revealed four main sources of distress, including (1) complexity and delays in administrative processes, (2) interruptions to recovery caused by treatment delays, (3) standardised approaches to care, and (4) a lack of support for navigating the claims process.
Conclusion
Sources of claims-related distress identified by claimants and clinicians in the present study are consistent with previous quantitative and qualitative studies published over the past 20 years, pointing to the urgent need for nationwide systems level changes to reduce claimant distress in the pursuit of better claimant outcomes.

Abstract
The use of schiff base metal complexes has attracted considerable interest because of their wide-ranging applications in the fields of coordination chemistry and biological sciences. A straightforward simple condensation methodology with acid catalyst approaches was used to synthesize a (E)-4-((anthracen-9-ylmethylene)amino)-N-(pyridin-2-yl) benzenesulfonamide schiff base ligand. The followed by the synthesis of the metal–ligand complexes encompassed the coordination of the Schiff base ligand to the transition metal ion in an ethanolic medium. Subsequent structural characterization and their properties were predicted using spectroscopic and analytical techniques. Furthermore, we evaluated the biological properties exhibited by these complexes, with a specific emphasis on their potential applications as antimicrobial, anticancer, antioxidant, and enzyme inhibition agents. The findings derived from this investigation yield significant perspectives regarding the formulation and advancement of innovative metal– organic complexes that exhibit augmented therapeutic attributes.
SYCL in the Edge: Performance Evaluation for Heterogeneous Acceleration
Authors: Faqir-Rhazoui Youssef , García Carlos 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Edge computing is essential to handle increasing data volumes and processing capacities. It provides real-time, secure data processing near data sources, like smart devices, alleviating cloud computing energy use and saving network band-width. Specialized accelerators, like GPUs and FPGAs, are vital for low-latency edge computing but the requirements to customized code for different hardware and vendors supposes important compatibility issues. This paper evaluates the potential of SYCL in addressing code portability issues encountered in edge computing. We employed the Polybench suite to compare various SYCL implementations, specifically DPC++ and AdaptiveCpp, with the native solution, CUDA. The disparity between SYCL implementations was negligible, at just 5%.
Furthermore, we evaluated SYCL in the context of specific edge computing applications such as video processing using three different optical flow algorithms. The results exposed a potential performance gap of 19% between CUDA and SYCL. This performance differential is the price one may need to pay when achieving the ability to successfully run the same code on two distinct edge boards with four different architectures, including x86/64 CPU, ARM CPU, NVIDIA GPU, and Intel GPU. These findings underscore SYCL’s capacity to increase productivity in term of development costs and facilitate the IoT deployment without being locked into a particular platform or manufacturer.

Abstract

Most of the biosynthetic gene clusters (BGC) encoding the biosynthesis of important microbial secondary metabolites, such as antibiotics, are either silent or poorly expressed; therefore, robust technologies are required to secure the production of natural products for both drug discovery and any subsequent commercial fermentation processes. Industrial strain improvement has resulted almost exclusively from expensive and time-consuming approaches to strain improvement. Therefore, to ensure a strong pipeline of truly novel antibiotics there is an urgent need to develop rapid and efficient strain improvement approaches. This study uses comparative genome analysis to instruct rational strain improvement, using Streptomyces rimosus for the industrial production of the medically-important antibiotic oxytetracycline. Sequencing of the genomes of two industrial strains M4018 and R6-500, developed independently from a common ancestor, identified large DNA rearrangements located at the terminal parts of the chromosomes that occurred in approximately at the same location in both strains. We evaluated the effect of these DNA deletions at similar locations of the parental S. rimosus Type Strain (ATCC 10970) genome. Surprisingly a single engineering step in the Type Strain (introduction of a 145kb deletion close to the otc BGC) resulted in significant OTC overproduction, achieving titers that were equivalent to the M4018 and R6-500 strains used for the industrial production of OTC. Transcriptome data fully support the hypothesis that the main reason for such an increase in OTC biosynthesis was due to massively enhanced transcription of the otc BGC and not to enhanced substrate supply. Surprisingly, we also observed changes in the expression of other cryptic BGCs. Similarly, some metabolites, previously undetectable in ATCC 10970 were now produced at relatively high titers. This entirely new approach to strain improvement demonstrates great potential as a rapid and versatile technology to increase titer of the target secondary metabolite in a one-step procedure, and to activate cryptic gene clusters, which are an enormous source of yet unexplored natural products of medical and industrial value.
The Nuremberg Chronicle by Hartmann Schedel as a Source for Early Modern History of Reading
Authors: Адамова Н.Э. 
Published: October 2023

Статья посвящена восприятию «Книги хроник» (1493) Хартмана Шеделя читателями раннего нового времени. В статье рассматриваются особенности создания «Книги хроник», то, каким видели будущего читателя ее нюрнбергские создатели, а также, кем были реальные владельцы экземпляров книги в Европе раннего нового времени. Наконец, на основе анализа читательских маргиналий конца XV–XVII вв. в ста экземплярах «Книги хроник» из британских, российских и немецких библиотек характеризуются интересы и практики читателей этой книги. Особое внимание уделяется тому, как в условиях Реформации читатели разной конфессиональной принадлежности взаимодействовали с нарративом Шеделя о «сакральной истории».
The paper examines how early modern readers perceived and used the “Nuremberg Chronicle” (1493) by Hartman Schedel. The paper outlines creation of the “Nuremberg Chronicle”, discussing the intentions of its authors, and observes what readers actually possessed the “Nuremberg Chronicle” in early modern Europe. Finally, relying on the early modern readers’ marginalia in more than one hundred copies of the “Nuremberg Chronicle” held by the British, Russian, and German libraries, the paper explores the readers’ interests and reading practices. The paper especially focuses on how the readers of conflicting confessional affiliations interacted with Schedel’s narrative of “sacred history” in the context of Reformation.
They Took Us Seriously Then: Image of A Woman of the First Half of the 20th Century in Letters Between A. Afanasyeva and P. Varkhoeva
Authors: Савицкий И.В. 
Published: October 2023

В статье анализируются письма ленинградской пенсионерки П.В. Вархоевой, сохранившиеся в личном фонде петрозаводского историка А.И. Афанасьевой. Специфика текста позволяет использовать гендерный подход и анализировать женский взгляд на региональную общественную жизнь 1920–1940-х гг. В задачу статьи входит изучение женского восприятия отношений внутри управленческих структур первых послереволюционных десятилетий. Высокая общественная активность Вархоевой давала ей возможность общения как с руководством Автономной Карельской ССР, так и с поселковой администрацией, постепенно соединяя воспоминания в единый нарратив. Меморизация впечатлений о карельской юности и пережитой Блокаде кристаллизировала в памяти оптимистичные сюжеты, богатые авторской рефлексией. Не менее интересны и коммуникативные аспекты эпистолярных отношений, в т. ч. способы влияния мемуариста на изучающего его материалы историка. Анализ писем Вархоевой позволяет рельефно выделить возрастные и гендерные различия в отношениях между людьми 1920-х гг., проследить ироничную рефлексию мемуариста в восприятии себя и окружающих, а также способы защиты от негативных воспоминаний начала 1940-х гг. Исследование также подтверждает ряд концепций о практике женской меморизации и влиянии на нее со стороны гендерной политики в СССР.
The article analyzes the letters of a Leningrad pensioner Praskovya Vasilyevna Varkhoeva from the private archive of a Petrozavodsk historian Alexandra Ivanovna Afanasyeva. The specificity of the text enables to use the gender approach for examining a woman’s view of the regional public life in the 1920–40s. The aim of the research was to study a woman’s perception of the internal relations in the administrative apparatus during the first post-Revolution decades. As a prominent public activist Praskovya Varkhoeva interacted with the authorities of the Karelian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic and the administration of her village, gradually combining her memories into a single narrative. The memorialization of her young years in Karelia and her survival during the Leningrad Siege eventually crystallized the optimistic life stories enriched with the author’s reflection. Of special interest are also the communicative aspects of the studied epistolary relationship, namely the means used by the memoirist to exert some influence on the researcher. Using Varkhoeva’s letters for analyzing the specific historical situation helps to reveal clear age and gender distinctions in the relations between people in the 1920s, to trace the elements of ironic reflection in the memoirist’s perception of herself and people around her, and to identify her ways of protection against the negative memories of the early 1940s. The conducted research also confirms a number of concepts concerning the women’s memoralization practices and how they were influenced by the USSR’s gender policy.

Authors: Орлов И.Б. , Цыганова Л.А. 
Published: October 2023

В статье через призму биографии журналиста А.И. Распевина, работавшего в довоенные и послевоенные годы в разных региональных и центральных изданиях, раскрываются общие вехи истории советской журналистики. Основной фокус исследования направлен на реконструкцию профессиональной деятельности журналиста как типичной для целого поколения журналистов-шестидесятников, вписанной в широкий социокультурный контекст эпохи. Истоки трансформаций журналистики в предвоенные годы, периоды «оттепели» и «застоя» можно найти в журналистике периода нэпа и «большого скачка», во фронтовой очеркистике и репортажах и проследить по изменениям повестки дня, форматов подачи материала, а также жанров, которые становились актуальными и востребованными. Так как пик творческой деятельности журналиста пришелся на период хрущевского правления, в статье особое внимание обращается на феномен «оттепельной» журналистики.
This article is devoted to the history of Soviet journalism during the "Thaw" period through the prism of the biography of the journalist A.I. Raspevin, who worked in newspapers and magazines: "Crocodile", "Soviet Press", "Journalist" and "Soviets of Working People's Deputies", "Pravda", "Izvestia" and "Economic Newspapers". The focus of the study is aimed at the reconstruction of the professional activity of a journalist as typical for a whole generation of journalists of the sixties, inscribed in the socio-cultural context. And, on the transformation of journalism during the years of the “Thaw”, the origins of which can be found in military essays and reports, changing the agenda, formats for presenting material, genres that were relevant and in demand.
The Image of Russian Pan-Slavism in German Military-Political Leadership of 1870s and 1880s
Authors: Власов Н.А. 
Published: October 2023

Последняя треть XIX в. стала временем значительного ухудшения российско-герман-ских отношений. Важной причиной были действия германского политического и военного руководства, основанные на определенных представлениях о Российской империи, в т. ч. о российском панславизме. Целью статьи является выяснение особенностей образа российского панславизма у германской военно-политической элиты (военных и государственных деятелей). В результате изучения широкого круга разнообразных источников можно сделать вывод о том, что понятие «панславизм» активно использовалось в указанной среде с конца 1870-х по конец 1880-х гг. в качестве собирательного термина для обозначения разных политических и общественных течений, направленных на изменение внутренней и внешней политики России. Панславизм воспринимался всеми представителями германской военно-политической элиты вне зависимости от их взглядов как крайне могущественная, иррациональная и потому опасная сила, стремившаяся к войне с Германией.
The last third of the 19th century was a time of significant deterioration in Russian-German relations. Among important reasons were the actions of the German political and military leadership, based on certain ideas about the Russian Empire, including pan-Slavism. The goal of this article is to determine the characteristic features of the image of Russian pan-Slavism among the German military-political elite. After studying a wide range of various sources, it can be concluded that the concept of "pan-Slavism" was actively used by German politicians and generals from the late 1870s to the late 1880s as a term for all trends aimed at changing the domestic and foreign policy of Russia. Pan-Slavism was perceived as an extremely powerful, irrational, and therefore dangerous force, striving for war with Germany.
“Between the Scylla of the Ticket Booth and the Charybdis of Ideology": On the Experience of Historical Interpretation of Soviet Rural Cinema
Authors: Сальникова А.А. 
Published: October 2023

Статья представляет собой размышления по поводу монографии Л.Н. Мазур и О.В. Горбачева «Советские фильмы о деревне: опыт исторической интерпретации художественного образа» (2022), посвященной методологическим, теоретическим и конкретно-предметным вопросам изучения советских художественных фильмов как уникального источника по истории российской деревни ХХ века. Особое внимание уделено специфике транскрибирования, «прочтения» и интерпретации авторами монографии художественного кинематографического текста, выявлению ими его информационной отдачи в процессе реконструкции основных сюжетов советской сельской истории и сельской повседневности. Скрупулезный анализ советской «деревенской» фильмографии 1920-х – начала 1990-х гг. позволил авторам книги рассмотреть это кино как образец явного социального заказа, репрезентирующего трансформирующуюся позицию власти по отношению к советскому крестьянству, но в то же время получить эксклюзивные сведения о жизни советской деревни, отсутствующие в источниках иной типо-видовой принадлежности.
The article is a reflection on the monograph by Ludmila N. Mazur and Oleg V. Gorbachev "Soviet films about the village: the experience of historical interpretation of the artistic image" (2022). It is dedicated to the methodological, theoretical, and specific-object issues of studying the Soviet feature films as a unique source on the history of the Russian village of the 20th century. Particular attention is paid to the specifics of transcribing, "reading" and interpretation by the authors of the monograph of the cinematographic text, the identification of its informative impact in the reconstruction of the main plots of Soviet rural history and rural daily life. A scrupulous analysis of the Soviet "village" filmography of the 1920s ­− early 1990s allowed the authors of the book to consider this cinema as an example of a clear social order, which represents the transforming position of the authorities in relation to the Soviet peasantry. However, at the same time it allows to obtain exclusive information about the life of the Soviet village, missing in sources of other type and species.

Дубровского (Санкт-Петербург, Российская национальная библиотека. Авт. 72. № 16). В письмо, написанном в Лондоне 7 (18?) ноября 1609 г., Сесил информировал Виллеруа о готовящемся против французского короля Генриха IV заговоре. К письму должен был прилагаться меморандум с подробным рассказом о заговоре, но он не сохранился. Во вступительной статье реконструирован политический контекст письма, а также установлено имя посла, который привез Сесилу сообщение о заговоре. Им был Джон Барклай, который летом-осенью 1609 г. посетил Северную Италию и Германию; его миссией было преподнести европейским государям посвященный им политический трактат Якова I. Представлена транскрипция письма (на франц. языке) и его русский перевод с комментариями.
The publication presents a previously unknown letter by Robert Cecil, Earl of Salisbury, Secretary of State to King James I of England, to his French colleague, Nicholas de Neufville, seigneur de Villeroy, from the Dubrovsky collection (St Petersburg, Russian National Library, Autograph 72, № 16). The letter was written in London on 7 (18?) November of 1609. Through it, Cecil informed Villeroy that there was a plot to kill King Henry IV of France. The details of the plot were to be provided in a memorandum sent together with the letter; this document has not survived. The introductory article established the political context of the letter. The ambassador of the King of England who brought Cecil the information of the plot has also been identified. This was John Barclay who in the summer and autumn of 1609 visited Northern Italy and Germany; his mission was to present European monarchs with a political tract by King James I dedicated to them.

Published: October 2023

O artigo analisa a política habitacional na América Latina, com especial atenção à experiência da Colômbia. Nas últimas décadas, difundiu-se um modelo de produção padronizada de unidades habitacionais, com ênfase no estímulo à demanda e no apoio ao setor da construção civil. Esse modelo tem sido amplamente discutido em países como México, Chile, Colômbia e Brasil. Nesse contexto, a Colômbia se destaca por sua longa história de formulação e implementação de políticas de habitação social (PHS). O artigo analisa a trajetória de institucionalização da PHS colombiana, examinando os momentos críticos e seu impacto na dependência do programa. Além disso, propõe uma nova periodização que explica grandes compartimentos temporais a partir de três modos de restrição utilizados pelas instituições como meios de operação: regras, práticas e narrativas. Em conclusão, o artigo oferece uma perspectiva crítica sobre a política habitacional na América Latina e destaca a experiência da Colômbia como um caso relevante para sua análise a partir da teoria do neo-institucionalismo histórico que ajuda a entender a evolução e as limitações das políticas habitacionais no país e oferece uma base para o desenho de políticas futuras mais eficazes.
