Solar Power in the European Context: Conversion Efficiency and the Issue of Carbon
Authors: Costa Henrique Silva Pacini 
Published: January 2022

The European Union is committed to increasing the use of renewable energies across Europe. One of the ways this is to be done is through the promotion of solar photovoltaics (PV), a method with significant environmental benefits. However, the high costs of electricity generated through PV have constrained the market reach of this option. This paper takes the form of a policy discussion, analyzing the fundamental issues concerning this type of energy, and its place in the European alternative energy market. Furthermore, a scenario is drafted to estimate how efficient solar panels should ideally be to make electricity produced by them cost-competitive with conventional, grid-tied energy sources. The study considers both a conventional scenario and another, with carbon capture costs incorporated into the final electricity prices. It is observed that in order to be competitive with conventional fossil-based electricity, photovoltaic conversion efficiencies should be around 34%. Incorporating carbon costs would further help promote solar PV, making it more price-attractive compared to emission-intensive electricity generation based on fossil fuels. The final part of the paper sheds light on the new developments on European PV, mainly in regards to the 2008 European Commission Climate Change Package, its implications and reactions from the industry.

Acute and chronic respiratory diseases constitute one of the main reasons of death worldwide. Joining coronavirus infection COVID‑19 worsens the course of diseases of the bronchopulmonary system and other systems and organs, in particular, respiratory, cardiovascular, urinary, gastrointestinal and others. There are a number of drugs of natural origin with multifaceted metabolic and multiorgan action, the use of which associated with minimal risks, mainly due to individual intolerance to particular components.
Objective. To analyze the current possibilities of phytotherapy of respiratory diseases, including COVID‑19.
Materials and methods. The information search has been performed using sources in print and electronic media, scientific tracking databases with application of methods of the analysis, comparison and generalization.
Results. Treatment with herbal remedies was established to have better tolerability and lower frequency of side effects and complications. They are characterized with high biological multifaceted activity and a broad therapeutic index. It is believed that the use of herbal medicine in such cases as an adjunct treatment and maintenance therapy is justified. Monotherapy with drugs from individual medicinal plants is not as effective as their combination. The use of extracts of several medicinal plants is more appropriate for long‑term use, the composition, dose, synergism, compliance, minimal side effects and mild therapeutic effect are important. In the pharmaceutical market of Ukraine there are many domestic and imported herbal remedies used in acute and chronic respiratory diseases. One of them is Bronchilor (Biohels International GmbH, Germany), containing extracts of thyme, Iceland moss, primrose and thorny bamboo. The drug has a local antiseptic effect, it forms a protective film on the the bronchopulmonary receptors, enhances the ciliate epithelial activity, and acts as an expectorant. The publications of Chinese scientists indicate the feasibility of using herbal medicine in the acute period of COVID‑19 infection and postcovid syndrome.
Conclusions. Modern multicomponent phytotherapeutic agents play an important role in the complex treatment of acute and chronic respiratory diseases. Further studies are required to investigate the use of phytotherapy, in particular, Bronchilor, as a supportive therapy for postcovid rehabilitation in patients with respiratory system injury.

The new coronavirus infection known as SARS‑CoV‑2 and firstly registered in Wuhan, China in late 2019, resulted in the severe crisis and a great number of lethal outcomes worldwide. Processes occurring in a body with virus infecting are quite polymorphic and involve all organs and systems. The first step in the infection is the virus binding with the host cell via target ACE‑2 receptors with resulting virus‑inducted down‑regulation of these receptors which, through a number of signaling pathways, leads to COVID‑related damage to an organ or system. Since ACE‑2 receptors play a leading role as an entrance gate for the virus, understanding of an axis of ACE/angiotensin receptor and ACE‑2/MAS‑receptor has the crucial significance in the investigation of infection role. The article presents review of the data from patients with delayed recovery after COVID‑19. The prolonged disease duration and disability are often inherent to the patients, hospitalized due to severe and critically severe disease forms. There is no universally accepted definition of «Long Covid», or post‑covid syndrome, but for convenience it was conditionally distinguished a subacute condition that lasts more than 3 weeks from the onset of the disease, and a chronic condition that lasts more than 12 weeks. Among the pathogenetic peculiarities, the activation of renin‑angiotensin‑aldosterone system, cytokine system, anti/prooxidant stress, coagulopathy, endothelial disfunction have been examined. Better understanding of the mechanisms that are realized at COVID‑19, will enable the rational use of the medicines for the disease treatment on all stages that may possibly prevent complications and prolonged consequences of the infection as well as improve the quality of life of patients.

Authors: Фридман Иосиф Александрович 
Published: January 2022

Настоящая статья по своей тематике и ракурсу рассмотрения является прямым продолжением статьи И. А. Фридмана, опубликованной в № 4 (35) «Богословского Вестника» за 2019 г. Если в предшествующей статье внимание автора было сосредоточено на критике, которой Умберто Кассуто подверг первый из выделенных им самим «столпов» документальной гипотезы, а именно «алгоритм» употребления в тексте Пятикнижия различных Божественных имён, то в настоящей статье в фокусе внимания оказывается критика четырёх остальных «столпов», а именно - вариаций языка и стиля Пятикнижия, содержательных внутренних противоречий в тексте Торы, повторов сюжетных линий и следов сложной структуры в секциях библейского текста. В заключительной части статьи автор уделяет внимание влиянию идей У. Кассуто как библеиста на мировую библеистику второй пол. ХХ - нач. XXI в.
The present article, in its subject matter and in the way of dealing with the subject, constitutes a direct continuation of the article by I. Fridman bearing the same title which was published in the «Theological Herald» of Moscow Theological Academy, № 4 (35) (2019). In this preceding article the author’s attention was concentrated on the criticism to which U. Cassuto subjected the first of the «pillars» of the Documentary Hypothesis (singled out by himself), to wit - the peculiarities of using the Divine names in the text of the Pentateuch. In the present article the author’s attention is focused on investigating the four remaining «pillars» of the hypothesis, namely - the variations of language and style within the Pentateuch, the contradictions and divergences of view, the duplications and repetitions as well as the traces of composite structure in some of the sections of the Torah. In the concluding part of the article the author draws the reader’s attention to the influence exercised by Cassuto’s ideas upon the Bible studies worldwide in the second half of the 20 as well as the beginning of the 21 centuries.

The rehabilitation and reconstruction works are usually performed with a view to conserving these landmarks and maintaining them culturally, architecturally and structurally. From this perspective, the mortars utilized in these repairs must be suitable, physiochemically and mechanically, to the ancient materials used in these buildings. Accordingly, it was proposed to evaluate tufa stone powder, a waste product of one of the most widely found stones in the Loire Valley in France, as an ingredient in repair-work mortar mixtures (M1, M2) through partially replacing the fine aggregate it contains with different amounts of this powder (37%, 42%) by weight of mix. Additionally, a third manufacturing mortar (M3) was utilized with both prepared mortars (M1, M2) for comparison with the tufa stone. The mechanical properties (including flexural, compressive and shear strengths, and ultrasonic pulse velocity) and the durability properties (total porosity, thermal dilation and conductivity, capillary absorption, and water and gas permeability) of the three mortars were examined in addition to those of the tufa stone. The results revealed that the prepared mortar, M2, (having lower binder content and a higher amount of substitution with tufa stone powder) has the lowest mechanical performance in comparison with the other mortars, indicating that this mortar is more supple and loose than the authentic tufa masonry. The thermal and durability properties are comparable to that of the tufa stone existent in ancient monuments. Consequently, the prepared mortar (M2) is the most appropriate mortar, for utilization in repairing old landmarks in the Loire Valley in France.
An Imperial Ideology of News: News Values and Reporting about Japan in Colonial India
Authors: Bonea Amelia 
Published: January 2022

This piece uses newspapers published in nineteenth-century India and Japan as a case-study to examine how networks of telegraph technology shaped the circulation of international news around British colonial spaces. It also explores how the use of technology was itself influenced by the local socio-economic and political contexts in which journalism was practiced. To this end, it examines the news reporting practices of newspapers published in both India and Japan, including the Times of India, the Englishman, the Japan Gazette, the Japan Herald and the Japan Times. In doing so, the case study identifies certain patterns and trends in the content and form of news reporting, and uses them to argue that the ideological structures of British imperialism shaped news values in the second half of the nineteenth century.
New Myths for an Old Nation: Bollywood, Soft Power and Hindu Nationalism
Authors: Dwyer Rachel 
Published: January 2022

Bollywood, the name by which mainstream Hindi cinema has come to be known over the last two decades, is recognised internationally as a style of glamour and kitsch, associated with song and dance. From being seen as something of a national guilty secret, it has come to mark a new image of modern India where it continues to hold around 95% of domestic film market (Thussu 2007) with the new and other media reinforcing, rather than detracting from, the cinema. India has had a Hindu nationalist government since 2014. Concerns with how the nation is depicted have been mostly internal affairs with cultural wars on social media and on university campuses. This chapter looks at how the Hindi film industry, which practises self-censorship is shaping a new image of Indian history in this climate and how this appeals to its overseas audiences who are mostly found in the Indian diaspora.
The Restrained Fantastic in Hou Hsiao-hsien’s The Assassin
Authors: Stuckey Andrew 
Published: January 2022

The acclaimed Taiwanese director Hou Hsiao-hsien’s 2015 film, The Assassin, is adapted from a Tang Dynasty tale that is one of the first instances in Chinese literature to describe a swordswoman. If for films such as A Touch of Zen or Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon the ethical dilemmas particular to a woman in the underworld of martial arts rivers and lakes are navigated by means of the visual spectacle of bodies in flight and in fight, Hou’s heroine, Nie Yinniang, is quite different. She emerges victorious over her enemies, but they are not vanquished. She maintains her own moral standards but retreats into seclusion by the end of the film. Likewise, Hou’s camera is often at such a distance that fighting sequences are as much obscured as revealed in the film. Thus, Hou’s famed style of exceedingly slow narrative presentation comes into fruitful tension with the generic conventions emphasising the fantastic elements of martial arts film. This chapter examines the reduced status of these fantastic features of the film, the way that Hou’s style naturalises and, indeed, construes them as realistic components of the narrative, and how these seemingly oppositional tactics come together to inform Nie Yinniang’s moral stance.

Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) has attracted much attention in the past 2 decades. To develop novel AIE-active materials, ACQ-to-AIE transformation via regioisomerization is one of the most straightforward method. However, most of the reported ACQ-to-AIE transformations are achieved by migrating bulky units. In this work, a facile conversion was realized by migrating a small pyrrolidinyl group from para- to ortho-position on the rofecoxib scaffold. As a result, a pair of new isomers named MOX2 and MOX4 exhibited AIE behavior and ACQ activity, respectively. Moreover, MOX2 also showed solvatochromic, mechanochromic, and acidochromic properties with reversible multi-stimulus behavior. Single crystal X-ray analysis of MOX2 revealed that the molecular conformation and its packing mode were responsible for the AIE emission behavior. Further investigation indicated that MOX2 showed high lipid droplets staining selectivity. Taken together, the current work not only provides a new design philosophy for achieving ACQ-to-AIE conversion by migrating a small pyrrolidinyl group but also presents a promising candidate MOX2 for potential applications such as in security ink, optical recording and biological applications.

Objective:The aim was to study the benefits and risks of anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells in adults with B-cell lymphoma.Methods:From October 2015 to October 2021, we treated five patients with B-cell lymphoma, comprising two with mantle cell lymphoma, one case of Burkitt lymphoma, one case of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and one case of chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma. The patients were given the FC regimen 5 days before the infusion of anti-CD19 CAR T-cells. The median total number of CAR T-cells infusions was 350*10^6 (88*10^6–585*10^6).Results:1) Patients who received CAR T-cell induction therapy achieved complete remission (CR) in Case 1 and Case 3 and partial remission (PR) in Case 2. Case 3’s ATM and D13S25 gene deletions were negative 42 days after CAR T-cell therapy, and molecular biology CR (mCR) and minimal residual disease (MRD) were negative for 5 years and 6 months. The patient in Case 3 was cured. 2) Case 4 patient’s TP53 gene mutation became negative 1 month after CAR T-cell therapy. MRD was negative after CAR T-cell therapy at 41 and 42 months in Cases 4 and 5, respectively. 3) Case 1∼Case 3 patients developed cytokine release syndrome (CRS) without encephalopathy syndrome, accompanied with serious adverse events. CRS can be effectively managed with tocilizumab, etanercept, glucocorticoids, and plasmapheresis.Conclusion:Anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy is effective in treating relapsed/refractory B-cell lymphoma, and the side effects of CAR T-cell therapy can be properly managed. CAR T-cell therapy has high efficacy and presented no side effects in the treatment of MRD in B-cell lymphoma (NCT03685786, NCT02456350).
