dc.description.abstract

value:
The “Eastern dimension” of Poland’s foreign policy plays specific and significant role both in its external
activity and in domestic political discourse. It is visible in the context of Poland’s relations with
its Eastern European neighbours, in particular. But the role of other partners from the East has been
significantly raising, especially since Poland joined the EU in 2004. The main aim of the paper is to
analyze the most important features of Polish Eastern policy, as well as to present Polish “mainstream”
elites’ perception on it. Quite broad consensus around Poland’s Eastern policy among its politicians,
scholars, and experts was also highlighted in the article. Particular attention was given to Poland’s
policy towards Russia. Refs 39.

dc.description.abstract

value:
In general, the world order has a polycentric structure. Its contemporary changes take place in a
correlation of forces among the most powerful actors, the nature of their interaction and the distribution
of spheres of influence. The strongest centers that determine the development of world
political processes can be qualified as global geopolitical poles. Contemporary geopolitical pole is in
fact a neo-empire and establishes predominantly the informal control over other actors. Unipolar, bipolar and multipolar models do not accurately reflect the “hybrid” nature of the modern geopolitical
order in the world. The United States remains the most powerful pole in the world order. The
West as an informal macro-empire unites the US (pole), several powerful centers and other Western
states. The main problem for the modern West is protection of security. The most powerful and
ambitious non-Western centers, especially China and Russia, are striving to increase their roles in
the world, expand spheres of influence and actually turn into geopolitical poles of world order. It is
assumed that the oligopolar neo-imperial geopolitical order may be formed in the world. The constructive
interaction of the US (and the West as a whole), China, Russia, India, regional centers and
other actors is necessary to ensure a safe and stable peace, as well as to combat the terrorist activities
of “extrasystemic” transnational actors. Refs 24.

According to the well-known tradition, Clytemnestra murdered Agamemnon with a double-edged
axe; this tradition was followed by Vyacheslav Ivanov and Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff. Although
the weapon in Aeschylus’ text is not specified, the double axe constantly occurs in the Russian translation
by V. Ivanov. These passages are examined in the first part of the article. The second part discusses Ivanov’s
essays and other works in order to shed the light on the symbolical meaning of the double axe within his
conception of dionysianism and the birth of tragedy. The author concludes that Ivanov emphasized the
double axe as the weapon of Agamemnon’s murderess because he regarded it as a symbol connected with
the sacrifice in predionysian cult and as an instrument of its priestess.

The paper analyzes a passage from the novel Blaquerna written by Ramon Llull from approximately

models. A comparative study shows how Llull treats a theme borrowed from both the Classical and the
Christian tradition. The Classical tradition depends mostly on the image of a philosopher, especially one
of the Cynical school, blended with the character of Aesop. In the Middle Ages, the theme achieved its
final shape through the addition of content and stylistic elements borrowed from Christianity. The closest
source available to Llull could be the Life of Symeon of Leontius of Cyprus, an important work as regards the
diffusion of the character displayed in the text under consideration.

The article aims at giving a more systematic and complete notion of Johannes Widekindi’s literary (as
opposed to documentary) sources in his historiographical work on the Ingrian war — apart from the wellknown
usage of Stanislaw Kobierzycki and Petrus Petrejus — than has been done in previous research. First,
all the references in the Novgorod appendix are deciphered. Furthermore, sources are listed for two large
digressions in the main text, namely on Pskov and on Cossacks. Some notes are made on the usage of Axel
Oxenstierna’s sketch on Swedish-Polish relations in the first book of Widekindi’s work. All in all, more than
a dozen works are listed, and some of them are discovered to be Widekindi’s sources for the first time, among
others Theatrum humanae vitae by Theodor Zwinger, Commentariorum Chotinensis belli libri tres by Jakub
Sobieski, the anonymous Tragoedia Moscovitica, the poems by Johannes Narssius and others. In general,
the list of sources attest to Widekindi’s interest in Polish affairs rather than any concern for Russian history.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This article is about the figure poem Egg by Simias of Rhodes, a concrete poem known for its visual arrangement
in the shape of an egg, extraordinary metrical composition, sophisticated paronomasia and puns
on metrical termini technici. The question this article explores is what can be learned from Simias’s verses
about the metrical terminology of the late 4th and early 3rd century BC. The poet himself gives instructions in
lines 9–10 how his poem should be arranged for reading, with the lines increasing in length from one foot to
ten. My suggestion is that Simias’s Egg, in the form of an extended pun, might indirectly provide an overview
of some metrical terms that were in use during his time: foot, kolon, metron, rhythmus, etc. Simias’s use of the
word κῶλα, in the so-called “dancing fawns” comparison (l. 13), is particularly sophisticated, alternating its
connotation between that of ‘limb’, ‘foot, leg’ and ‘a metrical unit’. I propose a list of “metrical” words which
Simias used directly or metaphorically and which occur later in Hephaestion’s Enchiridion as metrical terms.
We possess neither the treatises on which Hephaestion built his Enchiridion nor the names of his direct
predecessors. Metrical terminology proves to be quite conservative, and some terms, which Simias used in
his Egg and Hephaestion in the Enchiridion, are still in use today as standard metrical terms. Almost all of
these terms can be found in the Nomenclator Metricus written by Otto Schroeder (1929). The poem is full of
allusions and obscure metaphors later typical of Hellenistic epigrammatic poetry, in particular, the poem’s
sophisticated wordplay on metrical terminology.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The paper discusses how the meaning ‘appearance, figure’ of the Latin word filum was developed in
the pre-classical writers’ works and how the meaning in question was revived in the texts of later authors,
especially in the writings of Apuleius. The present meaning is typical of Lucretius, as in his poem On the
Nature of Things he regards bodies as an interweaving of atoms and describes them with terms from the
weaving field. It was Lucretius whom Apuleius referred to speaking about the nature of daemons: fila
corporum (De deo Soc. 11). The use of the word filum regarding human appearance could have developed
as a metaphorical transfer from clothing to its owner. For the post-classical period writers this meaning was
already unusual, and the word filum was often supplemented by the explicative words corporis or oris. The
author makes an assumption that the word filum in reference to the human appearance enjoyed popularity
in the post-classical literature due to its archaic color. A significant number of the same type expressions
with the word filum in the given meaning (bono filo, decente filo, filo virginali etc.) are also pointing to the
fact that these expressions were idiomatic.

a commander had to accomplish addressing the tutelary deities of a besieged city and asking them to take
the attackers’ side in exchange for worship on their part. The article’s aim is to criticize this interpretation

The paper is concerned with the meaning and translation of the adjective ποικιλόθρονος used by

interpret this compound epithet in different ways. The majority of scholars are inclined to understand the
second part as the stem θρον- which means ‘throne’. However, as it was proposed by G. Wustmann, this part
of the word could be thought to have been derived from θρόνα and thus to be translated as ‘embroidered
flowers’. In this paper, I am trying to show that the once suggested reference to embroidered flowers and
further to Aphrodite’s charms is more pertinent to the meaning of the ode than a throne.

Surveys of existing literature analyzed the effect of vegetables and fruits on the risk of developing
various types of cancer and justified the possibility of their use for the prevention of the risk of cancer
and the improvement of the quality of life in patients with cancer. Apples and citrus have the most pronounced prophylactic properties along with dark grapes, blueberries, black currants, and
blackberries, vegetables containing carotenoids (tomatoes, carrots, pumpkin, etc.), as well as onion,
cruciferous and leafy vegetables. Dietary fiber is one of the most effective anti-cancer components
in food composition. The anticancer effects of dietary fiber in dietary supplements has not been not
provided, and sometimes resulted in the increase of risk of certain cancers. Also installed the anti-cancer
effect for many of the phytonutrients included in the composition of different vegetables and fruits —
antioxidants, carotenoids, folate, flavonoids, isothiocyanates, resveratrol, allicin and diallylsulfide, but
not for biologically active additives (dietary supplements) containing these compounds.The dangers of
excessive consumption of such nutrients as selenium, alpha-tocopherol and omega-3 fatty acids, which,
in particular, increased the risk of developing prostate cancer; carotenoids the risk of lung cancer,
and a comprehensive dietary Supplement with antioxidants the risk of bladder cancer were observed.
Vegetables, preserved by salting and pickling, as well as fried, increase the risk of developing cancer
mainly of the digestive system. Simultaneously it is necessary to warn doctors and the population from
the uncontrolled use of dietary supplements with selenium, alpha-tocopherol, omega-3 fatty acids,
carotenoids and other nutrients, can cause the development of cancer. Refs 51.

value:
Comparative analysis of two methods of pain relief in critical ischemia of lower limbs in patients with
obliterating atherosclerosis of vessels of lower extremities was implemented. In group I, the parenteral infusion of a set of compounds, which included non-narcotic analgesics (non-opioids) and promedol
was used, in II group — epidural analgesia with local anaesthetic (ropivacaine or bupivacaine) in combination
with promedol. Comprehensive assessment of the pain syndrome in case of critical ischemia
of the lower extremities, including qualitative and quantitative evaluation of pain by patients, studies
of hemodynamic, neuroendocrine and metabolic parameters was carried out. On the basis of the data
obtained, one-way ANOVA was completed, which confirmed the influence of the type of analgesia on
the severity of ischemic pain on the dynamics of recorded parameters with a high degree of approximation
of the analysis. Convincing data about the greater effectiveness of epidural analgesia with local
anaesthetics and promedol compared to parenteral infusion of promedol and other analgesics not only
in the treatment of pain and improve quality of life, but also in the correction of adverse reactions of
cardiovascular system were received. Prolonged epidural block in the preoperative period contributed
to the improvement of neuroendocrine status, metabolism and oxygen transport. Comparison
of bupivacaine and ropivacaine used in epidural analgesia revealed the equal efficacy of these drugs.
Bupivacaine more often caused a more prolonged motor block. Refs 23. Tables 5.

During the last five years the number of patients with chronic heart failure has increased from 38% to

pathophysiologic alterations marking the progression of the set of symptoms that characterize heart
failure have yet to be clearly determined and are under active investigation. In our review we tried to
show the main mechanisms which are responsible for the development of symptoms in the patient
with chronic heart failure. The most principle of them are: muscle fatigue, exercise intolerance and
breathlessness. The pathophysiologic and pathogenetic mechanisms of these symptoms in the case of
decreased ejection fraction and preserved ejection fraction of the left ventricle was comprehensivelly

in Lu Xun’s translation. The study of this manuscript reveals the fact that Lu Xun’s translational practices
do not match his translation theory. As a result his translation of “Dead Souls” reveals Lu Xun’s
hesitation between choosing “exoticism” and “sinification”. Although there are some shortcomings in
this translation, it reflects an important conceptual idea of Lu Xun: any translation implies taking into
consideration both cultures. Refs 2.

This paper presents an analysis of Chinese academic and fictional literature that contains references
to the Russian diplomat G. A. Planson and his activities. George Antonovich Planson served as a
diplomat in China from 1902 to 1904. During this period, an agreement between the Russian and the
Qing empires was signed stating conditions of the withdrawal of Russian troops from Manchuria and
subsequent suspension of the withdrawal of Russian troops from North China.
It was found that Chinese historiography still severely lacks factual studies about Planson. Available
information is limited; therefore, it is easy to conjure the fictional image that could be found in Chinese
fiction. This fact confirms the need for a more thorough study of the available archival documents on
his life and activities. Many materials in Chinese are introduced for the first time. Refs 12.

Chinese political and economical policies aimed at China’s integration into the world’s economical and
political institutions defined images of Western countries. In this context, Russia is a subtle subject,
and observing its treatment has revealed some inconsistencies in the current Chinese policies. Ideology

prospects for its further study. 153 patients (102 of them with obesity) participated in the study and
used such methods as clinical and radiological examination of the condition of periodontal tissues,
evaluation of the microcirculatory vascular bed of periodontal tissues and bone tissue of the jaw bones
using the methods of ultrasonic dopplerography and ultrasonic densitometry. Comparing the severity
of parodist pathology in the main and control groups by means of correlation analysis, significant
differences between groups were obtained (p <0.0001). Data obtained as a result of dopplerography of
periodontal vessels showed an inverse correlation between the indices of the body mass index and the
linear systolic blood flow velocity (r = –0.6754, p <0.001). Also, in the evaluation of densitometry, an
inverse correlation was obtained between the indices of the body mass index and the density of bone
tissue (r = –0.61, p <0.001). As a result of the analysis of the data obtained, it was concluded that there
is an etiopathogenetic relationship between periodontal diseases and obesity. Understanding the peculiarities
of the interference of these two diseases will facilitate the estimation of the prognosis in such
patients, simplifying the choice of necessary therapy taking into account the effect on microcirculation
and bone mineral density. Refs 40. Figs 2.

The aim of the study was to study the incidence of asymptomatic determination of Epstein-Barr viruses
(EBV) in women with genital herpes (GH) with a recurring course of the disease depending on the stage of the process of infection and the state of vaginal microbiota. It was shown that, in the case
of a severe course of GH, this phenomenon is observed both with recurrence of the disease (28 % of
cases) and remission (18 % of cases). This is facilitated by the immune response that forms in patients
with Th2 type. With an average course of GH during remission, but against a background of bacterial
vaginosis (BV), VEB is isolated in 23 % of cases, and after its treatment in 8 %. This is explained by
the Th2 type of immune response, and the lack of local antiviral immunity in BV. It was shown that
a decrease in the intensity of the local and general antiviral immune response is able to “include” the
mechanism of asymptomatic VEB secretion. Refs 23. Figs 6. Tables 2.

consists of the parameters dependent elements. The parameter’s matrix reflects ambiguity of
the choice of transformations and allows to increase a number of decomposition variants. Refs 29.

During 5 years from 2011 to 2015, 656 patients with a diverticular disease of a colon were brought to
the Aleksandrovsky hospital. From the total number of patients in 504 (76.8%) cases diverticulitis was
diagnosed. 124 (24.6%) patients with diverticulitis underwent emergency operations. Primary laparoscopy
was executed on 73 (58.9%) patients, and traditional laparotomy was executed on 51 (61.1%).
For an assessment of the expediency of primary use of laparoscopy, two equivalent groups of patients
were established. The first group included 39 patients who got only traditional emergency surgeries.
Second group included 66 patients who received primary laparoscopic treatment. To all patients
from the first group obstructive operations that ended with the removal of colostomy, were executed. Primary use of a laparoscopic technique for patients whose had indications for emergency expeditious
treatment gave the chance to 40 (60.6%) patients to refuse further expansion of the emergency
operational intervention and to finish their operation with laparoscopy alone. To 4 patients (6.1%)
laparoscopic assisted colostomy was carried on. Conversion was required only for 22 (33.3%) patients.
The research conducted has shown that primary use of laparoscopy allows to lower total postoperative
complications by 10.5%, from 43.7% to 33.3% without change in general mortality. Taking into account
all the stages of treatment, a decrease by 54.4% of the number of patients with colostomy, from
92.3% to 37.9%, was observed. Refs 10. Tables 12.

In a topic unusual for Russian Oriental studies, this article reveals the study of the ancient Chinese
historical Classic Shangshu. The author talks about the unique edition of the book, published
in 1905 under the name Shujing tu shuo (The Book of Historical Documents with Illustrations and
Commentary). This Qing dynasty edition was the result of a centuries-old tradition of illustrations
to the Chinese Classics. The illustrations in this edition are the main element, and the text itself is of
secondary importance. The article focuses on the Shujing illustration tradition, starting from the Han
reliefs from Shandong and ending with book illustrations of the eighteenth century. The illustration
tradition of the Chinese Classics comes from ancient times and exists until today. As these days almost
only professional researchers know the ancient Chinese language used in the Classics, more and more ancient books are being published in popular form on the principle of “explanations through images”
and look like comics. On one side it is necessary for the preservation of ancient Chinese, on the other
side it is an endemic part of traditional Chinese book culture. Refs 15.

dc.description.abstract

value:
After the first Africans appeared in China in 2000, their communities were formed in Guangzhou
and later in Yiwu. Being the third largest city in China, Guangzhou benefited from its proximity
to Hong Kong and the Pearl River. These and some other city’s advantages attracted African
traders. In contrast, Yiwu, despite being ranked a county-level city in the Zhejiang Province, came to
prominence as the world`s largest wholesale market. Yiwu also attracted Arab and African traders.
Being separated from each other by only two-hour plane trip or 13-hour train trip, the two cities are
not so distant geographically. However, because of the difference in size, lifestyle, business patterns,
local government policies and the patterns of Chinese residence, each of the two African communities
developed in its own peculiar way. This study is based on fieldwork, carried out in both areas.
It aims to analyze the differences of African communities and their networks in Yiwu and Guangzhou.
What attracts Africans to these cities? What is their objective? Why do they stay in these
two particular cities, and not in others? Do they have an intention to move to other cities or other
countries? This study also tries to discover, if there are links between the African communities in
the two cities and examine patterns of social networks’ development in both locations. Refs 6. Figs 6.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The paper is devoted to the solution of problems in project scheduling by using methods of
tropical optimization. Problems are examined that are to develop an optimal schedule for a
project consisting in the execution of a set of interrelated tasks under given constraints on their
initiation and completion time. The optimal schedule criteria are considered, which require the
maximization of the deviation of the initiation or the deviation of the completion time of tasks.
Such problems arise when, for some reason (such as a lack of resources, technical constraints, security requirements, and the like), there is a need to avoid a simultaneous start or finish for all
tasks in the project. The paper begins with the formulation of scheduling problems in the form
of usual optimization problems. Then, definitions and results of tropical mathematics are given,
which are used in the subsequent analysis and solution of tropical optimization problems. New
constrained problems of tropical optimization are considered, and their solutions are obtained.
The scheduling problems are solved by reducing to tropical optimization problems. To illustrate
the results obtained, numerical examples are presented. Refs 15.

The aim of this work is to investigate one of the most urgent problems, namely, the health effect of
chemical toxicants formed as a result of the professional activities of medical workers. Since classical
statistical methods of processing results often do not allow to establish reliably significant connections,
it becomes necessary to apply the method of prognosis of changes in the state of health under the influence
of factors of industrial harmfulness. In hygienic researches the most effective can be considered
the use of a methodology for assessing health risks. In this research medical staff from various sections
took part and engaged in the chemical disinfection of Class B (Б) and C (В) waste with chlorinecontaining
preparations, where the organic agents of chlorine acted as agents of action. The second
block of the research is about the impact of a chemical compound, such as methyl methacrylate (which
is released during various technological processes of making prostheses), on the health of the dental
laboratory staff. Refs 13. Figs 3. Tables 4.

dc.description.abstract

value:
In this paper, we study mathematical models describing steady flows of second-grade fluids in a
plane channel. The flows are driven by constant pressure gradient.We consider various boundary
conditions on the channel walls, namely, the no-slip condition, the free-slip condition, threshold
slip conditions, and mixed boundary conditions. For each of the boundary value problems, we
construct exact solutions, which characterize the velocity and pressure fields in the channel.
Using these solutions, we show that the pressure significantly depends on the normal stress
coefficient α, especially in those subdomains, where the change of flow velocity is large (in the
transverse direction of the channel). At the same time, the velocity field is independent of α,
and therefore coincides with the velocity field that occurs in the case of a Newtonian fluid (when
α = 0). Moreover, we establish that the key point in a description of stick-slip flows is value of
ξh, where ξ is module of the gradient pressure, h is the half-channel height. If ξh exceeds some
threshold value, then the slip regime holds at solid surfaces, otherwise the fluid adheres to the
channel walls. If it is assumed that the free-slip condition (Navier’s condition) is provided on
one part of the boundary, while on the other one a stick-slip condition holds, then for the slip
regime the corresponding threshold value is reduced to a certain extent, but not by more than
half. Refs 15.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The exact analytical solution of a nonlinear plane-strain problem for a bimaterial plane with an
interface crack (cut) has been obtained. The plane is formed by joining of two half-planes made
from different materials. Mechanical properties of half-planes are described with the model of a
John’s harmonic material. The application of this model has permitted using the methods of the
complex functions in the nonlinear boundary value problems. As particular case, the problem
is solved for the plane with a free interface crack at given constant nominal stresses at infinity.
The expressions are obtained for nominal (Piola) stresses, Cauchy stresses and displacements.
From the general solutions the asymptotic expansions of these functions have been constructed in vicinities of crack tips. In nonlinear problems of uniaxial extension of a plane with a free
crack it is established that the formulas which give the crack disclosing and the stress intensity
factors near the crack tips coincide completely with similar formulas derived from the equations
of linear elasticity. The nominal stresses have root singularity at the tips of a crack; the Cauchy
stresses have no singularity. Refs 16. Figs 3. Table 1.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This paper presents an algorithm of hub number p robustness estimation using specific
simulations in the single allocation hub location problem. The simulation has to model the
service demand trends in each origin node to each destination node. This idea is based on the hub
network dependence on service demand forecasting, which is modeled by random values from
random distribution with parameters reflecting the demand changes. The algorithm includes
the mixed integer programming model which describes the hub location-allocation problem with
single allocation (each node is connected exactly to one hub). The model chooses the optimal
locations for the fixed number of hubs p from the fixed possible location set in the problem.
The perturbed data simulate the changes in the service need and present the perspectives
of the network changes, and the algorithm fixes these changes. The number of changes in
the network is consolidated into the variety frequencies which describe the variabilities in the
set of simulations. The algorithm is implemented on Python 3.5 and model optimization is
fulfilled using Gurobi Optimizer 7.0.1 software. The results in the real dataset are illustrated
and discussed. Refs 18. Fig. 1. Tables 3.

The objective of the study was to investigate systolic duration on the basis of the QT interval in an

stress test for revealing latent heart failure. Systolic duration reflects ventricular contractile function.
The difference between the values in the actual QT interval and the one corrected for the heart rate is
indicative of myocardial contractile dysfunction and heart failure. We have found ventricular systole
elongation in patients’ ECGs, which expressly depends on heart failure severity. Functional stress tests
help to reveal that in the event of asymptomatic chronic heart failure. They cause the QT interval
prolongation, and therefore, contractile dysfunction of the ventricles. So, heart failure is based on
contractile dysfunction of the cardiac muscle. Refs 19. Tables 2.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The history of Great Mesopotamia in early antiquity was to a large extent shaped by the interaction
of two different cultural and economic groups that inhabited the South (Southern Mesopotamia) and the North (Northern Mesopotamia and northwestern Syria) of the region. The early model of social
organization formed in the fourth millennium BC in the South was that of a city as an egalitarian
self-ruling economic system. At the same time, centralized territorial structures of the North were
governed by hereditary royal power. For almost 1,500 years, when the two models co-existed, the North
attempted repeatedly to include the southern cities in its own centralized system. But these attempts at
formal integration for two societies with different systems of power, production and distribution were
unsuccessful. The urban population of the South, the old elite of the cities in the first place, responded
to integrationist attempts with recurrent uprisings (24th, 23rd and 18th centuries BC). The uprisings
were being severely suppressed by the northern central power, but its slightest weakening triggered the
processes of disintegration of newly made administrative structures and re-establishing of local power
institutions. The cities of the Southern Mesopotamia then reverted to their traditional existence. This
pattern recurred continually but after the last suppression of a southern uprising (18th century BC),
southern resources were depleted beyond regeneration and the cities of the South disappeared from
the political map of Mesopotamia. Refs 21. Fig.1.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The formation of a new technological paradigm called “Industry 4.0” and the economic structure
contributes to the transformation of social reality, in which all spheres of life and behavior of people
radically change. The new model of labor and employment by analogy was called “Work 4.0”, it is
intensively developed in countries with advanced economies and contains new opportunities, but,
at the same time, risks. New forms of labor, cooperation and exchange are developing, the Internet
connects people with cars and things. Labor activity becomes transparent and is controlled from the
outside. As the boundaries of innovation expand and the opportunities for education improve, the
quality of labor resources grows, but the profile of the employee and the requirements put upon him
are being changed. Work becomes autonomous and mobile, and the performance of labor functions is
associated with the mastery of many competences, among which lifelong learning and digital literacy
is given special importance in the digital age. In Russia, the process of transformation of mass labor
and employment is much slower, research focuses only on a few so-called “atypical” forms of employment.
Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the prevalence of new aspects and facets of
labor among Russian workers connected with mobility and digital technology. Here secondary data
of the RLMS-HSE reveal the prevalence of the use of the Internet in the broad masses of dependent
workers (at enterprises, in organizations), a professional profile of employees has been drawn up, and
the specifics of their work activities are indicated at the present time. Unfortunately, in Russia both the
degree of use of the Internet in performing professional responsibilities, and the development of skills,
in comparison with the developed countries, is still at a rather insignificant level. The main goal is
regular development of digital competencies for both current and future employees. Refs 22. Tables 5.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The analysis of the modern literature concerning the opportunities of the method of analyzing bioimpedance
in assessment of component body structure is presented in the review. A short historic account of the emergence and development of bioelectrical impedance analysis is given in various
fields of medicine. The key parameters estimated by this method among which are the amount
of liquid in an organism, body weight index, rate of the main exchange, osseous and fatty masses,
level of physical development and others, and also their reference values depending on gender
and age are reflected. The main characteristics of bioimpedance analysis are provided along with
a comparative assessment of bioimpendance analysis and anthropometry. The types of equipment
used for carrying out research and the differences among them are described. Indications and
contraindications for this method, and also the technique and technology of its performance are
formulated. The scope of bioimpedance analysis is reflected in medicine and anthropological
research. Differences of sex and age in component body structures are determined by somatotyping
that employs a method developed by the researchers. The role of bioimpedance analysis as a method
which is a cornerstone of preventive and predictive medicine is emphasized. This thus indicates the
need to carry out additional laboratory and functional research in order to arrive at new tactics of
treatment and health maintenance. Refs 39.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The paper contains an attempt to actualize experience of the Soviet school of Libyan studies and its
approach to research for the role of Islam in the social and political development of Libya after the
revolution of 1969. The author’s hypothesis is based on the assertion that a certain section of Soviet
orientalists did not agree with the skeptical attitude to the role of Islam in the process of political
modernization and state building in Libya of that period as demanded by the dogmatic and theoretical
principles of Marxism and Leninism. Suggesting a different view of the problem, they managed to
prove the possibility of an alternative vision of the political development and genesis of Libyan society.
The author examined and compared the texts of articles and monographs published during the heyday
of the discussion about the role of Islam in the process of national liberation struggle and state building
in Libya (1970-1980s). We tried to reconstruct the main stages and elements of the discussion and to
identify its key theses. The obtained conclusions are of interest in view of their relevance and usefulness
for studying a wide range of socio-political processes in Libya in the 20th and 21st centuries.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Rapid development of techniques for chronic hemodialysis in the latter part of the 20th century and in
the beginning of the present one enabled medicine not only to save the lives of millions of patients who
suffer from the terminal stage of chronic renal insufficiency but to significantly improve their quality
of life. Advances in medical engineering and equipment as well as treatment approaches and potential for medicinal substitution of the lost renal functions, as well as a reduction of the treatment cost with
chronic hemodialysis resulted in the ability of patients to receive correction of terminal renal insufficiency.
Arterial-venous access for hemodialysis that can provide for a long effective cannula insertion
in peripheral vessels was and still is the main “key” for a patient to be connected with the apparatus
of “the artificial kidney”. Being, on the one hand, a great benefit for the patient, arterial venous access
is nevertheless an artificial pathological formation that leads to a number of specific syndromes. The
exponential increase of chronic hemodialysis in clinical practice and the consequential increase in
the need for arterial-venous access determines the need for studies concerning the problems of complications
related to these procedures. Urgent need for the study of complications caused by arterial
venous accesses for hemodialysis is mainly motivated by the increase of the average age of patients
with chronic hemodialysis and duration of the received treatment. Whereas conventional surgical operations
in vessel surgery are actively replaced by endovascular interventions, a number of operations
for forming and reconstruction of the arterial venous access continues to be growing. In the given
article we present modern views for diagnostics and treatment strategy for the main complications of
arterial venous access that are not related to thrombotic occlusion. Problems of surgical treatment of
infectious and hemodynamic complications, treatment approaches with aneurysmal transformation
of vessel access are also discussed in the article. Refs 67.

value:
The phenomenon of Internet memes is highly popular nowadays, but it is still poorly examined, especially
empirically. This article presents the results of a study of the attitudes of young people to Internet
memes. The study is based on the results of group interviews with young people aged 18 to 22 years.
In this article Internet meme is defined as a stable-formed sign which is used in communication and
contains a changing concept. An Internet meme can perform the functions of integration, translation,
representation, information, as well as emotional and contact-making (phatic). The most important
functions of the meme for youth are the emotional, the phatic and the integration functions. Memes
are used to separate in- and out-groups, users of memes divide them into “local” and “general”. Young
people use a special language for describing their emotions. This language contains a large number of
hyperbole and words, which are also memes. Internet memes attract attention, when used in dataflow,
nevertheless usage of memes in marketing communications irritates young people. Further study of
the phenomenon of Internet memes is of interest in the context of communication in small groups
and interest communities. Other perspectives are related to the study of the linguistic aspect of the
language of memes’ self-description, as well as the social meaning of Internet memes and the forms of
their dissemination. Refs 18. Fig. 1.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Due to the existence of two factions in the Myanmar elite in the country during the colonial and
post-colonial periods of Myanmar history a rivalry between modernist and conservative groups in the
national elite emerged leading to serious external and internal political conflicts. Local modernists,
associated with the British colonial tradition, and conservative forces, appealing to the pre-colonial
period in the history of Myanmar, alternating in power, have offered their solutions to the pressing
problems facing the country. However, practice has shown that the predominance in the political life
of Myanmar one of a wing of the ruling elite is able to effectively stop many of the important tactical
problems facing the society. This in the strategic perspective sets the basis for serious political
instability affecting the interests of the national elite as a whole. The convergence of modernist and
conservative wings of the Myanmar elite after the historic elections in 2015 gradually eliminates the
fundamental defect of the local political system and opens up new prospects for development. Refs 38.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The traditional model of controlling deviant behavior has as a defect a certain arbitrariness of power.
To reduce the pressure of the “power-subordination” relationship, it is necessary to consider social
control in the context of the interests of social actors who, in the process of searching for social identity,
choose different modes of behavior (sometimes deviant) and fall into the field of vision of controlling
institutions. This could be facilitated by the development of ideas about social control as a symbolic
means of communication. In the process of communication, meanings are formed. These meanings
structure reality, give it a certain meaning and direction. In the communication specific discourses
are created. These discourses organize daily (professional) practices. In discourses, there are also ideas
about the image of the deviant. The article presents the results of studying the discourses of subjects of
preventive social control, in which the violators of social norms from the youth environment are positioned
differently. Representatives of police, secondary schools and social protection institutions acted
as experts. Analysis of the results of the study showed that discourses differ depending on the degree
of formalization and departmental affiliation of the subject of control. There is a shift in emphasis in
the characteristics of violators of norms from the purely negative to multidimensional, and sometimes
contradictory. In addition, the approach to the consideration of the grounds for the formation of certain
characteristics of violators of social norms. Refs 16.

The data here represents those of specialists in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery who investigated

Data analysis suggests that even in minimally invasive surgical procedures during cell-associated
lipotransfer (CAL), these surgeries are still fraught with risks of complications even in cases of somatically
healthy patients for aesthetic indications. The incidence of life-threatening complications
of CAL varies from 0.02% to 0.3%. It is clear that CAL-surgery must be carried out exclusively on the
testimony based on the data of clinical examination of patients before SC transplantation. To prevent
CAL complications in the postoperative period, the rules of aseptic and antiseptic, comprehensive
thrombotic events prevention (irrespective of surgery), targeted compensatory adjustment of concomitant

value:
In the article, the author makes an attempt at a theoretical and methodological conceptualization of
“communicative capital”. On the one hand, he analyzes the experience of applying this concept to
domestic and foreign studies in the field of economics and sociology. On the other hand, he considers
“communicative capital” from a critical media theory point of view, in particular, J. Dean’s motion
of “communicative capitalism”. The author develops “communicative capitalism” and exposes it to
the study of the formation of labor and capital relations in the context of mediated and commodified networked communication,; i.e. an ‘attention market’: Internet users, network brands, and social platforms
function on a pole where, in addition to the traditional forms of capital (economic, social and
cultural), communicative capital is actualized. Offering an interpretation of the new processes of communicative
capital concentration and conversion, he is also focusing on the process of monetization
of communicative capital. At the end of the article, models of monetization of communicative capital
on macro and micro levels are presented, as well as practices for attracting and enclosing audience
attention, and stimulating it not only for communication activity but also for purchases within the network
section. Thus, we understand the use by network brands holders, as communicative capitalists,
of multi exploitation practices (when the audience becomes an internal mini-market on the network
section, and at the same time - the object of sale for the advertiser). The same practices are used by
social platforms at the macro level (the product created by an audience attracts new participants, and
all of them are also of interest to the political and business groups as buyers of goods or meanings and
preferences carriers). Refs 37. Figs 3.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Four models of critical behavior with quenched noise are studied by the means of renormalization
group analysis. The models include the Kardar—Parisi—Zhang model of an interface random
growth and its modification with an infinite number of coupling constants, the Hwa—Kardar
model of a system in a self-organized critical state, and the model of landscape erosion with an
infinite number of coupling constants. The quenched noise is described by the correlation function
 ff  ∝ δ(ω)/k4 (here k is a wave vector and ω is a frequency) and models variability of the studied
profiles (e. g. growing interface, eroded landscape, etc.). For two models containing infinitely
many coupling constants their critical exponents (that describe asymptotic — critical — behavior
in an infrared range) satisfy a universal exact relation. For the models of the Kardar—Parisi—
Zhang and Hwa—Kardar corresponding critical exponents are calculated to the first order of
the expansion in the deviation from the logarithmic dimension (one-loop approximation). Refs 37.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Critical behavior of the O(n)-symmetric model with antisymmetric tensor order parameter is
studied by means of the renormalization group approach in the space of a fixed dimension. Previously
this model was studied by the authors in collaboration with N. V.Antonov by means of
ε-expansion. Within the framework of this approach, it was shown that non-trivial fixed points
are present in the model only in the case n = 4, however, their infrared stability properties
appeared to be sensitive to the accounting of the higher orders of perturbation theory and the
asymptotic nature of ε-expansions. As a result, it was concluded that in order to obtain a reliable
picture of critical behavior, besides accounting for the higher orders of perturbation theory, it is
also necessary to explore the dependence of the results on the choice of a specific renormalization
scheme. For this purpose in the present paper RG-functions and critical exponents of the model
are calculated in form of pseudo-ε-expansions with a three-loop accuracy. The results obtained
are in qualitative agreement with results of the Borel resummation of corresponding ε-expansions in three-loop approximation. Nevertheless, the numerical values of the critical exponents obtained
by direct summation of the pseudo-ε-expansions and by the Borel resummation of the
corresponding ε-expansions can differ quite significantly. Refs 33. Tables 6.

The refractive index of colloids containing particles of eight separate fractions obtained from the

refraction of colloids in the framework of molecular optics is carried out. It was shown experimentally
that in all eight fractions that were studied the refractive index is mainly determined by particles and aggregates of them with size less than light wave length. Larger particles have little
effect on the refractive index of colloids, but determine their color and turbidity. Calculations
of the refractive index of colloids using a theory of molecular optics have been carried out. In
these calculations it was assumed that the dispersed phase of the colloids contained diamond and
graphite. The experimental results are in agreement with the results of these. Refs 29. Figs 3.

value:
The problem of the electromagnetic field of a charge moving along the cylindrical waveguide
axis is considered. The charge flies from the homogeneously filled area to the area composed of a
dielectric layer and a channel. The solution is performed by representing the electromagnetic field
in each waveguide area as a sum of known “forced” field (the source field in an infinite regular
waveguide) and a “free” field conditioned by the transverse boundary influence. The free field
is written in the form of eigenfunction expansion for corresponding waveguide area. Shown that
the problem is reduced to solving an infinite system of linear algebraic equations for the free field
mode amplitude. Expressions for the components of the free field “cherenkov” part are obtained
using the methods of complex variable theory. It is shown that there is a compensation effect
between cherenkov part of the free filed and wakefield. It leads to the decreasing of the number of
the “total Cherenkov field” modes with increasing distance from the charge. The generation area
border for each cherenkov mode is determined by the its group velocity. The wakefield formation
process is demonstrated using the original numerical algorithm. Refs 17. Figs 2.

value:
In the experiment, an electrolytic cell with electrodes of different area was used. To study the
current-voltage characteristics, a pulse-based measuring circuit was developed and implemented.
It became possible to carry out an experiment with a small average current due to the large
duty cycle between the measuring pulses. Such an approach made it possible to neglect chemical
reactions in the near-electrode layers of the space charge, and also to obtain reproducible measurement
results. Measurements of current-voltage characteristics in 1% KCl solution were carried
out. In the experiment, symmetric current-voltage characteristics were obtained. A numerical
derivative of I (U) was found. The shapes of the curves I(U) and I (U) were discussed. The
calculations are given showing that for a symmetric current-voltage characteristic the current is
electrically proportional to the hyperbolic sine. Accordingly, the current derivative is a hyperbolic
cosine. A technique for determining the concentration of ions in simple electrolytes is presented.
The error of the presented method is 10–12%. The proposed method of measurement makes it possible to obtain current-voltage characteristics without the use of large-size installations containing
mercury. Refs 5. Figs 1.

The dielectric properties of nematic paramagnetic liquid-crystal gadolinium based complex with
Lewis’s basis and β-diketons as ligands were examined. The dependences of the dielectric permittivity’s
principal values in the wide range of temperatures and frequencies were measured. The
dispersion of both components of the dielectric constant is observed in one frequency region. This
is due to the fact that the molecular mechanism responsible for the dispersion in both cases is
rotation around the long molecular axis. The relaxation times, activation energy, dipole moment
of researching complexes were calculated. The orienting effect of electric and magnetic fields on
the investigated complex was studied. It is shown that a magnetic field strength of 5500 Oe,
the macroscopic orientation of the sample is close to homogeneous. The times for establishing
a homogeneous macroscopic orientation when the magnetic field is turned on and the sample is
returned to its initial state after the magnetic field is turned off differ by two orders of magnitude.
The electrical voltage up to 5 V does not have a noticeable effect on the orientation of the sample
in the measuring cell. Refs 5. Figs 7. Tables 1.

Bovine serum albumin (BSA) for tests requires a strongly reduced concentration of sodium and
potassium. BSA is also use as a buffering agent, stabilizer, standard and for blending. We propose a relatively simple method of reducing the content of ions Na and K in solutions of BSA by ionexchange
chromatography. The article presents the results of the quantitative analysis of BSA
solutions, made by atomic absorption spectrometry. Refs 5. Tables 1.
