Case Report: Fatal Scorpion Envenomation in a Shuar Child by Tityus cisandinus from Amazonian Ecuador: A Call for Specific Antivenom Availability in the Amazon Basin
Authors: Borges Adolfo , Román Juan P. 
Published: February 2023

ABSTRACT.
Envenomation by scorpions belonging to the genus Tityus can be life threatening in the Americas, particularly in the Amazon Basin. We report a 4-month-old Ecuadorean boy of Shuar origin stung by a scorpion identified as Tityus cisandinus in the Amazonian province of Morona Santiago, presenting with pulmonary edema and systemic inflammation. We administered immunotherapy using the scorpion antivenom available in Ecuador, of Mexican origin (anti-Centruroides). Catecholamine discharge-related events such as hyperglycemia and thrombocytosis were resolved after treatment but leukocytosis did not, suggesting that factors associated with the sting-admission delay and specificity of antivenom played a role in the envenomation outcome. Cardiorespiratory arrest determined a fatal outcome, despite specific maneuvers. The case severity and the limited supply of nonspecific scorpion antivenoms in problematic areas of Amazonian Ecuador and elsewhere in northwestern Amazonia are discussed in regard to the need for specific therapeutic immunoglobulins in the area and in the Amazon Basin as a whole.

Native livestock breeds are part of the history of the Nordic people and comprise a resource for future food production. In this study, net gain and carcass characteristics of two Danish, three Finnish, one Icelandic, six Norwegian and five Swedish native cattle breeds were retrieved and compared to commercial breeds: two beef breeds and two dairy breeds. Breed data were collected from national databases and sorted into six animal categories: young bull, bull, steer, heifer, young cow and cow, for which means and standard deviations were calculated within each country. The native breeds ranged from small-sized milking type breeds with low net gain, carcass weights and EUROP classification to larger multipurpose breeds with high net gains, carcass weights and EUROP classification.
All Finnish and most of the Norwegian and Swedish native breeds had lower net gain and carcass weight than the dairy breeds in the same category and country, but with similar carcass conformation and fatness scores. The two Danish native breeds had higher net gain, carcass weight and conformation class than the reference dairy breed, but lower than the reference beef breeds. The net gain and carcass traits of the Icelandic native breed were similar to the smallest-sized native breeds from the other countries. The carcass traits of the native breeds indicate that they have comparative advantages in an extensive production system based on forage and marginal grasslands. They may also succeed better in the value-added markets than in mainstream beef production.
German Colonies of St. Petersburg Province
Authors: Shaidurov Vladimir N. , Erokhina Olga V. 
Published: February 2023

Russia of the 18th – 19th centuries faced a crucial challenge of sparsely populated suburbs consolidation through their economic development. Acute shortage of work force to be involved for transformation of Novorossiya, the steppes of the North Caucasus and the Middle Volga region, Siberia and some other regions into the centers of commodity agriculture and industrial production, forced the authorities to turn to the use of European experience and place a bet on foreign colonization. Central Europe, devastated by the Seven-Year War, brought to life tens of thousands of potential colonists, who answered the call of Empress Catherine the Great to move to the unoccupied lands of the Russian Empire. Since 1765, the first colonies (Novo-Saratovka, Srednaya Rogatka, Yamburg and Izhora colonies) were formed near St. Petersburg. Investigation of the history of these settlements in the imperial period is extremely poor in modern historiography. The article examines the initial period of their existence (1765 – 1800s). It took about 30 years for German colonists to adapt to new living conditions. Some colonies (Srednaya Rogatka) became centers of commodity production of agricultural products (potatoes, etc.), sold in the capital-city market, at the beginning of the 19th century already. Experiments on the advanced multi-field system implementation, initiated by Semyon Dzhunkovsky, opened the way to increase productivity and income of the colonists. The new crop rotation system spurted into popularity not only in the colonies, but in the neighboring settlements of Russian peasants as well. The article is intended for specialists engaged in the study of agrarian development, ethnic minorities of Russia in the imperial period.
Dialects of the Germans of Russia and Kazakhstan
Authors: Shlegel Elena A. 
Published: February 2023

The linguistic diversity of the Germans in Russia and Kazakhstan is due to the migration of ethnic groups to the territory of the Russian Empire from the lands of Germany and subsequent migrations within the country. Some ethnic Germans use the dialect in speech, for them it is their native language, the rest of the Germans speak literary German to varying degrees, and Russian is considered their native language. Today, it is impossible to uniquely identify one native language for an ethnic group, as Germans speak different dialects of German. The purpose of the study is to determine the states of the modern dialect language of the Germans of Russia and Kazakhstan, to consider how dialects were historically spread throughout the country, and how dialects are preserved now. The article considers the territorial distribution of dialects in Russia, primarily Siberia, where the majority of Germans live, as well as the circulation of German dialects in Kazakhstan after the deportation of Germans. The central part of the article is devoted to the modern state of dialects, which are preserved primarily in places of compact settlement of Germans. The article makes use of the results of ethno-sociological surveys of Germans in Russia and Kazakhstan on the issues of dialects, and analyzes contemporary methods of preserving and translating the language. Conclusions: dialects are preserved where Germans live compactly. The author notes that there are negative trends in the process of preserving dialects, but German public organizations today solve many problems concerning dialects.
Nakhichevan Armenian Colony on the Don (1779-1870)
Authors: Batiev Levon V. 
Published: February 2023

The article is devoted to the study of the Armenian colony of New Nakhichevan on the Lower Don with an emphasis on institutional aspects, which should help in solving the general task of analyzing the mechanisms and methods of effective self-organization of ethno-cultural groups in a foreign environment in different times.
The author assumes that the system of self-government, formed on the basis of Catherine the II’s letter of grant, was an important tool for ensuring the identity and preserving the ethno-cultural specificity of the residents of Nakhichevan-on-Don and five Armenian villages of the Armenian district.
A characteristic feature of its public administration was its formation on an ethnic basis – it united the Armenians (urban and rural residents) who had migrated from the Crimea. The legal basis of the colony was, in addition to the all-Russian laws, the Armenian “rights and customs”. At the same time, from the very first years of the colony’s foundation there started a process of its quite close integration into the all-Russian system of administration as well as gradual limitation of the granted privileges and benefits in other issues. Limitation of independence of the colony occurred in connection with the gradual unification of urban governance, and it was also associated with an increase in the Orthodox (Russian) population of the city. Full and final transition to the all-Russian model occurred in the era of “great reforms”.
Nevertheless, until the February Revolution of 1917 and the radical democratization of suffrage (“four-tail”) the Armenian element entirely dominated the city authorities. After the complete loss of influence in the city Duma, the Armenian community had to create the “Nakhichevan on the Don Armenian Community” in the form of national-cultural autonomy in order to preserve its ethnic identity.
The self-government of Nakhichevan provided internal stability and the possibility to preserve the ethno-cultural identity. The rapid socio-economic development of the region and the ethno-demographic changes inevitably led to assimilation processes. The loss of autonomy and actual dominance in Nakhichevan-on-Don by the Armenian part of the population only accelerated these processes.
Judaic Communities of the Crimea and Internal Colonization in the Russian Empire (at the end of 18th – on the First Half of 19th Centuries)
Authors: Prokhorov Dmitry A. , Latysheva Elena V. 
Published: February 2023

At the end of the 18th – in the beginning of the 19th century in Crimea there took place significant changes in the ethnic and confessional spheres. The eviction of Christians, the mass emigration of the Crimean Tatars led to a reduction in the population. The Russian authorities have begun to implement measures to settle Novorossia in general and Crimea in particular with colonists from internal provinces and migrants from abroad. One of the main issues in the study of the past of the Jewish communities of Crimea is the problem of transforming the identity of the old-time population. The domestic policy of the Russian government in the “national regions” at the end of the 18th – in the first half of the 19th century greatly complicated interethnic and interfaith relations both between Jewish rabbis and representatives of the “titular” nation of the empire, and between the Karaite and rabbinic communities of Crimea. The Karaites had to prove their difference from the Rabbinical Jews in order to achieve civil and economic preferences. The assistance of the government in many matters allowed the Karaites to strengthen their economic and legal position. The paper analyzes the legislative acts and resolutions adopted by the Russian government in relation to Jewish rabbis and Karaites. In the legal field of the Russian Empire, the Karaites received a new legal status according to which they were granted various rights and freedoms. On the other hand, the tax burden and social oppression against the Jewish population increased.
On the Universal Access to the Primary School Education in the Orenburg Region at the Beginning of the 20th Century (Based on the Materials of the Turgay Region)
Authors: Lysenko Yuliya A. 
Published: February 2023

For the first time in historiography the article analyzes the experience of universal access to elementary school education for children from 8 to 11 years old in the Turgay region of the Orenburg governorship on the basis of records of the Turgay regional school inspector, the trustee of the Orenburg school district, the Turgay regional government, found in the Russian State Historical Archive. The purpose of this article is to reconstruct this process, its results and regional characteristics. It was determined that the reform was carried out in line with all-Russian trends. At the same time, a number of peculiarities of the region were taken into account: its multi-ethnicity and multi-confessional character, high rates of peasant migration, and lack of local self-government bodies. Therefore, the construction and maintenance of primary schools in Turgay region was carried out at the expense of the state. The author concludes that the administration of the Orenburg school district failed to implement the idea of universal primary school education. The reason was insufficient funding for school construction, the dispersed settlement of peasant settlers in the region, the mismatch rate of peasant migration to the pace of school construction, etc. At the same time the reform had a positive value, as it provided the integration of the regional education system into the imperial educational space. The article is intended for specialists in the history of social policy of the Russian Empire.

Published: February 2023

COVID-19 is a contagious disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The disease has spread worldwide, leading to an ongoing pandemic. The most common symptom of COVID-19 is fever which can be detected using various manual screening techniques that have the risk of exposing the personnel. Since the virus has globally spread, a reliable system to detect COVID-19-infected people, especially before entering any premises and buildings, is in high demand. The most common symptom that can be detected is fever, even though people with fever might not have COVID-19. Thus, a real-time analytic face thermal recognition system integrated with email notification that has the capability to scan the person’s temperature and simultaneously analyze the measured temperature with the recorded/stored information/data is presented in this paper. The proposed system is also able to send an email notification to the relevant authorities during the real-time analytical process. Besides that, this information is also recorded in the system database for continuous monitoring of the respective person’s health status. The development of the proposed system is integrated with a Thermal Module AMG8833, Pi camera, and Raspberry Pi Zero Wireless. The proposed system has been tested and the captured results successfully accomplished the development objectives.

BackgroundThe present cross-cultural study examined the health locus of control construct during the COVID-19 pandemic. The scien-tific purpose of the study was to determine whether, during the pandemic situation, cultural and sex differences influence the health locus of control construct and change the internal health locus of control (IHLC), powerful others health locus of control (PHLC), and chance health locus of control (CHLC).Participants and procedureA total of 2617 recipients aged 18-70 years from Asia (China, India, and Indonesia), and Europe (Bulgaria, Germany, and Hungary) completed a questionnaire about their health. The participants completed an online version of the Multidimen-sional Health Locus of Control Scale – Form A.ResultsThe survey shows that in a pandemic life-threatening situation, most individuals strive to rely on IHLC and/or PHLC, and fewer of them tend to rely on CHLC. However, there are differences (p < .001) between the two cultural samples: the rep-resentatives of Asian collectivistic culture are more dominated by PHLC, compared to the representatives of the European individualistic culture. When the comparison is between individuals from different cultures, sex differentiation affects the health locus of control, and as a result, significant differences in relation to IHLC, PHLC, and CHLC levels (р < .05) appear.ConclusionsIn conclusion, the study indicates that cultural differences influence both the IHLC and PHLC levels, and that Asian partici-pants are dominated by PHLC more than European respondents. Asian females are more likely to seek support from pow-erful others (PHLC) compared to European women, who perceive themselves as more independent. Asian male partici-pants are prepared to rely on powerful others (doctors or medical institutions), while European male respondents are prone to rely on themselves mainly (IHLC). The results show that sex differences do not significantly affect the health locus of control within the same cultural group.
Development and validation of a stress response measure: the Daily Stress Response Scale (DSRS)
Authors: Debowska Agata , Horeczy Beata , Boduszek Daniel , Dolinski Dariusz , von Bastian Claudia C. 
Published: February 2023

BackgroundTo date, there is a lack of measures for capturing a broad spectrum of psychophysiological stress reactions that can be administered on a daily basis and in different contexts. A need for such a measure is especially salient in settings where stress processes can unfold momentarily and substantially fluctuate daily. Therefore, the main aim of the current study was to develop and validate the Daily Stress Response Scale (DSRS), an instrument capturing a broad spectrum of psycho-physiological stress reactions that can be administered in real time and in different contexts.Participants and procedureThe study was conducted in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe. Participants were 7228 (81% female) Polish university students. The data were collected anonymously through self-completion questionnaires. The DSRS was subject to confirmatory factor analyses (CFA).ResultsThe DSRS is a 30-item, easy-to-use stress response measure with excellent psychometric properties. Based on CFA results, the scale consists of two subscales, psychological and physiological stress response, which form associations with related external criteria.ConclusionsThe DSRS is a reliable and valid measure of psychological and physiological stress reactions that can be used to assess the stress response to daily stressors, including those of an acute nature, such as a crisis, trauma, or surgery.
Un recorrido astrológico y amoroso por el zodiaco en las Soliadas (1619) de Diego Félix Quijada y Riquelme
Authors: Balaguer Alba Gema 
Published: February 2023

RESUMEN:
El cancionero amoroso de las Soliadas (1619), compuesto por Diego Félix Quijada y Riquelme, alberga un peculiar ciclo de sonetos dedicados a ilustrar el paso del Sol por los doce signos del zodiaco. El recorrido poético conforma una cronografía astral que se vincula, mediante sucesivas analogías, a la situación sentimental del poeta enamorado. Estas analogías toman como base la iconografía de cada constelación zodiacal y, en ocasiones, su influencia en la naturaleza. Entre las fuentes a las que pudo recurrir el autor para elaborar el corpus, llama la atención la Cronología y repertorio de la razón de los tiempos (1585) del cosmógrafo Rodrigo Zamorano, que pone en evidencia el vínculo no solo del ciclo, sino de todo el poemario, con la astrología y la astronomía.

ABSTRACT:
The collection of love poems entitled Soliadas (1619), written by Diego Félix Quijada y Riquelme, contains a peculiar group of sonnets meant to illustrate the passage of the Sun through the different star signs. The poetic tour consists of an astral chronography that is linked, by means of successive analogies, to the poet's relationship status. These analogies are based on the iconography of each zodiacal constellation and, sometimes, on its influence on nature. Among the different sources the poet may have used to compile the corpus, Cronología y repertorio de la razón de los tiempos (1585), by Rodrigo Zamorano is especially interesting since it highlights both the link of astrology and astronomy with this group of sonnets in particular and with all the Soliadas in general.
Ideología barroca y revolución heliocéntrica en las letras del siglo XVII: algunas notas sobre Francisco de Quevedo y la astronomía moderna
Authors: Torres Salinas Ginés 
Published: February 2023

RESUMEN:
La Revolución Científica trajo consigo, entre otras cosas, la definitiva constatación del modelo heliocéntrico del universo, gracias a los nuevos descubrimientos astronómicos, propiciados, a su vez, por un nuevo instrumental óptico. En este trabajo estudiaremos algunas de las consecuencias de estos nuevos descubrimientos en la obra de Francisco de Quevedo, partiendo de la ideología barroca propia de obra y autor. Nos ocuparemos de tres cuestiones básicas y de las razones de aparición de las mismas: la pervivencia en Quevedo de una concepción geocéntrica del universo, a pesar de estar presumiblemente al tanto del nuevo modelo heliocéntrico; el uso de dos pasajes bíblicos de protagonismo solar procedentes de El libro de Josué y el Segundo libro de los Reyes; y el juicio quevediano sobre los nuevos instrumentos ópticos que permitieron descubrir la naturaleza heliocéntrica del universo.

ABSTRACT: The Scientific Revolution brought with it, among other things, the definitive verification of the heliocentric model of the universe. It was due to new astronomical discoveries, promoted, in turn, by new optical instruments. This work pretends to study some of the consequences of these new discoveries in the work of Francisco de Quevedo. For this it will be analysed the baroque ideology that characterizes both, writer and work. We will discuss three basic questions and the reasons for their appearance: Quevedo's persistence of a geocentric conception of the universe, despite he was presumably aware of the new heliocentric model; the use of two biblical passages of solar prominence from The Book of Joshua and the Second Book of Kings; and the quevedesque opinion about the new optical instruments that made it possible to discover the heliocentric nature of the universe.
