Elucidating evolutionary principles with the traditional Mosuo: Adaptive benefits and origins of matriliny and “walking marriages”
Authors: Yong Jose C. , Li Norman P. 
Published: December 2022

AbstractThe Mosuo, arguably the last surviving matrilineal society in China, offers interesting insights into kinship practices that support reproduction. In particular, the modes of courtship and reproduction of the traditional Mosuo revolve around a practice known as walking marriages, which involves no contract or obligations, where the men do not use social status or resources to court women, women do not expect commitment from men, and multiple sexual relationships are permitted for both sexes and seldom incite conflict. Children borne from walking marriages are cared for not so much by fathers but rather their mothers' brothers, and wealth and property are controlled by women and passed on to daughters rather than to sons. By analyzing how familial and mating practices interact with evolved preferences and ecological affordances, we highlight the ways that traditional Mosuo practices facilitate reproductive success despite differing vastly from those familiar to modern, industrialized societies. We suggest that cases that appear like evolutionary exceptions, such as the traditional Mosuo, can bring into question the mating practices and preferences we take for granted as relatively universal and prompt a nuanced understanding of how environments, culture, and evolution mutually constrain and shape one another.
Content biases in three phases of cultural transmission: A review
Authors: Stubbersfield Joseph M. 
Published: December 2022

AbstractCultural evolution theory proposes that information transmitted through social learning is not transmitted indiscriminately but is instead biased by heuristics and mechanisms which increase the likelihood that individuals will copy particular cultural traits based on their inherent properties (content biases) and copy the cultural traits of particular models, or under particular circumstances (context biases). Recent research suggests that content biases are as important, or more important, than context biases in the selection and faithful transmission of cultural traits. Here, evidence for biases for emotive, social, threat-related, stereotype consistent and counterintuitive content is reviewed, focusing on how these biases may operate across three phases of transmission: choose-to-receive, encode-and-retrieve, and choose-to-transmit. Support for some biases primarily functioning as biases of attention and memory, while others primarily function as biases of selection to share with others, and the implications for this in wider cultural evolution is discussed. Ultimately, a more consistent approach to examining content biases, and greater engagement with wider literature, is required for clear conclusions about their mechanism and potential differences across the three phases of transmission.

The aim: study of the effectiveness of environmentally safe disinfectants against P. aeruginosa and pathogens of the main bacteriosis of poultry at test facilities.
Materials and methods. To study the antimicrobial action of the investigated disinfectants against a mixture of epizootic cultures of E. coli, P. aeruginosa, S. aureus, S. typhimurium, isolated from poultry, bacteriological studies were carried out on test objects: galvanized iron, wooden bars (painted and unpainted), red brick, cutouts from plaster, size 10 × 10 cm.
Results. The working solutions of the new disinfectant "Dezsan" were studied in comparison with the control agents: "Virocid" and "Bi-dez" at a concentration of 0.01; 0.1; 0.25; 0.5; 1; 1.5 % in relation to suspension cultures of E. coli, P. aeruginosa, S. aureus, S. typhimurium. In this case, it was established, that the "Dezsan" agent showed an antimicrobial effect on rough test objects after exposure for 3 hours at a concentration of 0.1 %, and at a concentration of 0.25 % - for 1 hour. On smooth surfaces, the agent neutralized bacterial cultures at a concentration of 0.1 % after exposure for 1 hour. The preparation "Bi-dez" at a concentration of 0.25 % was effective on smooth surfaces after exposure for 1 hour, on rough surfaces (brick, plaster) - at a concentration of 0.5 % after exposure for 3 hours or more. The working solution of 1 % concentration neutralized bacterial cultures on all types of surfaces after exposure for 1 hour or more. "Virocid" agent after exposure for 1 hour neutralized bacterial cultures on smooth surfaces in concentrations of 0.25 % and higher; on rough surfaces, the growth of cultures was not detected when using a 0.5 % solution.
Conclusions. Environmentally safe disinfectants "Dezsan" and "Shumerske sryblo" compared to the control ones ("Bi Dez" and "Virotsid") show an active antimicrobial effect at a concentration of 0.25 % and 3 %, respectively, against the suspension of epizootic cultures of E. coli, P. aeruginosa, S. aureus and S. typhimurium on different types of production surfaces, which justifies the feasibility of their use based on the principle of rotation of disinfectants for the prevention of bacterial pseudomonosis of poultry
Development of a mathematical model of the operation of the swab generator valve
Authors: Rubel Viktoria , Rubel Vyacheslav , Ziaja Jan , Yaremiychuk Roman 
Published: December 2022

The object of research in the work is a mathematical model of the operation of a hydrodynamic well generator of the spring-valve type. The existing problem lies in the fact that vibrating wave swabbing differs from known methods of vibrating wave influence on the near-breakout zone of the formation in its ease of execution and, as a result, a much smaller range of equipment. At the same time, its effectiveness should not be inferior to known methods because the treatment of the formation is carried out by elastic low-frequency pressure fluctuations against the background of depression on the formation. Since the swab generator valve is, in fact, a hydrodynamic well generator (HWG) of the spring-valve type, the processes of pressure fluctuations in the considered devices will be similar. However, because of the review of HWG designs, the presence of a mathematical model describing the operation of rotor-type devices, and not valve type, was revealed. Despite the fact that the mathematical model takes into account all the main factors that determine the process of the HWG piston movement, this model cannot be used to describe the operation process of the swab generator valve. Due to the absence of a pulsating flow created at the wellhead by pumping units. Taking this fact into account, as well as taking into account the compressibility of the liquid passing through the valve, a new mathematical model was developed. It describes both the process of operation of a spring-valve type HWG operating in a well on pump-compressor pipes, and the operation of a swab generator valve that is lowered into a well on a rope. Thanks to this, it is possible to obtain the parameters of the oscillating system: geometric dimensions, inertial mass of moving parts, stiffness of the spring, coefficient of viscous friction between the piston and the valve body, as well as parameters of the working fluid: pressure, flow and its rheological properties. In comparison with the similarly known technology of vibration wave impact on a formation with known HWG, it provides such advantages as a higher speed of movement and frequency of oscillations of the moving end of the spring from the identified essential parameters of the oscillating system and the working fluid of the spring (100–1000 N/mm), consumption of working liquid (10–130 m3/h), valve opening pressure (1–7 MPa). This will make it possible to calculate a helical cylindrical compression spring made of round steel for its operation in the valve of the swab generator without collision of turns.

The most characteristic features of the construction of communication systems of groups of troops (forces) during the conduct of hostilities (operations) are a high level of a priori uncertainty regarding the operational situation and a small amount of initial data for communication planning. In such conditions, it is important to correctly choose the apparatus for evaluating the made management decisions, which will allow the officials of the points of the control system of the communication system of the groups of troops (forces) to be confident in the made decisions. That is why the issue of increasing the effectiveness of the management of forces and devices of communication of groups of troops (forces) during operations is an important and urgent issue. The object of the research is the communication system of the group of troops (forces). The subject of the research is the effectiveness of the communication system of the grouping of troops (forces) in accordance with the purpose of the operation. The research developed a method for managing forces and devices of communication using methods of resource optimization in the operations of troops (forces).

The object of research is a mathematical model of the photoelastic interaction in an acousto-optic delay line (AODL). Two possible cases are discussed as applied to the ratio of the input pulse duration to the time of crossing the optical beam by an elastic wave packet. It is shown that in both cases the voltage at the output of the device is found as the sum of three components, which are formed by different mechanisms. If the duration of the input pulse is longer than the time of crossing the optical beam by an elastic wave packet, then the first component is determined by the process of entry of the leading edge of the elastic wave packet into the optical beam, the second – by the process of complete interaction of the optical beam with the elastic wave packet, and the third – by the process of exit of the trailing edge of the elastic wave packet from the optical beam. In the second case, i. e. when the duration of the input pulse is less than the time of crossing the optical beam by an elastic wave packet, the first term is determined by the process of entry of the elastic wave packet into the optical beam, the second – by the process of advancing the elastic wave packet in the aperture of the optical beam, and the third – by the process of exit of the elastic wave packet from the aperture of the optical beam. The corresponding equations for calculating the parameters of the output pulse were obtained by applying a rectangular pulse to the AODL input. It is proved that if the pulse duration at the AODL input is longer than the time of intersection of the optical beam by an elastic wave packet, then the pulse duration at its output will be equal to the duration of the input pulse. In the case when the duration of the input pulse is less than the time of crossing the optical beam by an elastic wave packet, the duration of the output pulse will be determined by the time of propagation of the elastic wave packet in the aperture of the optical beam. The obtained equations are confirmed by numerical calculations. The results of the numerical analysis were tested experimentally, which confirms the unequivocal adequacy of the proposed model of photoelastic interaction in an AODL.

Silvestre ou jogo da (in)subordição entre cinema & etnografia
Authors: Araújo Teresa 
Published: December 2022

El estudio revisa la mirada etnográfica del largometraje Silvestre de João César Monteiro (1981) realizado con recurso creativo a composiciones tradicionales («Doncella guerrera», por ejemplo) y el propósito de movilizarlas en el sentido de una aproximación al ethos portugués. El estudio, además de des-cubrir en el tejido de la película un romance muy conocido en el espacio de las lenguas ibéricas ("Veneno de Moriana"), encuentra en las tradiciones sometidas al guión la piedra de toque del propio sentido de Silvestre, es decir, la materialización del concepto de ser portugués con contornos peninsulares y la base para la reflexión del cineasta sobre su gesto creativo.

Published: December 2022

Background. According to WHO, severe traumatic brain injury is among the top ten leading causes of death worldwide. Despite the centuries‑old history of development of the treatment methods to patients with traumatic brain injury their results according to large randomized studies remain unsatisfactory – mortality and severe disability are observed in more than 50 % of patients. Some experimental studies indicate that decompressive craniectomy can aggravate the severity of cerebral edema by creating conditions for traction of nerve fibers and can lead to hemorrhagic transformation of injury foci and ischemia. During the last decade, experimental studies and technological progress have significantly expanded the understanding of brain normal and pathological physiology and made it possible to develop new methods of surgical interventions. In particular, a number of publications have shown significant advantages of dissection of arachnoid spaces of brain base in case of severe traumatic brain injury as compared with classical decompressive craniectomy.Aim. To analyze the literature data on pathophysiological justification, surgery technique and results of dissection of arachnoid spaces of the brain base in case of severe traumatic brain injury as well as the advantages and disadvantages of the method as compared with standard treatment methods of such patients.Materials and methods. Literature search through in the main databases was carried out. The methods of opening of basal subarachnoid spaces in case of severe traumatic brain injury, pathophysiological justification and surgery techniques as well as results of clinical studies of the techniques employed are analyzed.Results. Information on pathogenesis of cerebral edema and pathophysiological justification of effectiveness of opening of brain base cisterns for treatment of traumatic brain injury, data on cisternostomy surgery technique and results were revealed, systematized and analyzed. Publications of individual clinical cases and series of observations indicate acceptable results of cisternostomy in comparison with decompressive craniectomy for treatment of traumatic brain injury.Conclusions. Dissection of arachnoid spaces of the brain base with perforation of the terminal plate and the Liliequist membrane is a promising method of surgical treatment of severe traumatic brain injury.
