Two stage of gold-bearing sulfide ores of early Proterozoic gabbroids in the North Ladoga area. Vestnik of Saint Petersburg University. Earth Sciences, 66 (3), 559–577.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article presents a study based on Pb isotopes, which revealed that the formation of goldsulfide
mineralization in the Early Proterozoic gabbros of the Northern Ladoga region is associated
with different tectonic phases. This conclusion is based on the comparative analysis
of isotopic data for feldspars and lead sulfides in two Early Proterozoic intrusions: Velimäki
and Alattu-Päkylä. The investigated intrusions have similar geological settings at the junction
of the Svecofennian accretionary complex and the Karelian craton. Both massifs are characterized
by manifestations of noble metal sulfide mineralization associated with zones of local shear
deformations. The formation of the studied ore massifs is attributed to the Svecofennian and
Caledonian tectonic stages. Feldspars of Velimäki intrusion have parameters and a model age
of Pb, significantly older than the U-Pb age of zircon (1.9 Ga), even though they correspond to
the Svecofennian time of magmatic crystallization of gabbro and clinopyroxenites. Sulfide pyrite-
pyrrhotite mineralization is associated with gold in these rocks with the Caledonian stage of
fluid-thermal processing of the Early Proterozoic magmatic mineral paracenteses. Feldspars and
sulfides of the Alattu-Päkylä intrusion have similar lead isotopic parameters and a Pb model age
(~2 Ga), also somewhat older than the U-Pb age of zircon, but at the same time indicating the
formation of rock-forming and ore sulfide associations with gold during the Svecofennian (Early
Proterozoic) plutonic and tectonic-thermal events. The source of lead sulfides of the Velimäki
massif is characterized by the parameters of the upper crust with high μ2 = 238U/204Pb, while the
μ2 parameter of the minerals of the Alattu-Päkylä massif is slightly lower, which indicates the
participation of the mantle-lower crustal reservoir material in the formation of magma.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The Balagychan-Sugoi (Omsukchan) riftogeneous depression is described by different authors
both as a part of the Okhotsk-Chukotka volcanic belt (OCVB) and as a separate structure.
The unique Dukat gold and silver deposit and many other ore deposits including rare metal,
such as Arylah, Lunnoe, Askold, Mechta, Tidid, Krasin, are associated with this structure. All
mentioned objects are located in the southern part of the depression and from this point of
view are connected with the OCVB structure. Evolution of the Balygychan-Sugoi depression is closely related to the stages of magmatic evolution of the region. In the article, these stages
are characterized based on the data from intrusion bodies located in the northern part (Naygain
depression). This part is the most outlying from the OCVB and less studied. For the first
time, the U-Pb zircon and baddeleyite dating as well as the description of petrographic and
geochemical composition have been carried out for Mandychan gabbro-diorite and Nayahan
gabbro leucogranite intrusion complexes from the northern part of the depression and for
the Omsukchan leucogranite complex. The Late Jurassic — Early Cretaceous intrusions of
the Mandychansk complex dated as 143–139 Ma marks the beginning of the rift depression
formation. The intrusion of granitoids of the Nayahan and Omsukchan complexes dated as
84–85 and 81–82 Ma correspondently is related with the new stage of magmatic activity, synchronous
to the OCVB formation. The petrographic and geochemical compositions of these
granitoids indicate their belonging to the I-type granites, which are typical for extension environments,
whereas leucogranites of the Omsukchan complex have some features corresponding
to A-type granites.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article describes the main problems in the existing research on the seismotectonics of
the territory of Armenia. A review was conducted on certain issues related to the accuracy of
the initial seismological data, the problem of identifying possible focal zones of strong earthquakes,
and the probabilistic assessment of the seismic hazard of the territory of Armenia. As
the results of numerous studies show, the initial seismological data from catalogs and bulletins
are characterized by their heterogeneity. Different observation systems and different methods
of seismological data processing have led to the fact that when visualizing the spatial distribution
of earthquake epicenters on the territory of Armenia, during the instrumental period of
observations, an artificially lattice network of epicenters is obtained, which does not agree in
any way with the fault tectonics of the territory. While studying the distribution of earthquake
hypocenters by depth, the discrete nature of their distribution was revealed. There is also a
number of disadvantages in the area of allocation of focal zones of strong earthquakes. The
main part of the conducted research was primarily based on data from previously recorded
strong seismic events, as well as on data on historical earthquakes. As a result, for the most
part of the studied territory, in fact, no research was conducted. In addition, there are relevant
questions about the tectonic basis used in these studies. The last group of problems concerns
the probabilistic assessment of the seismic hazard of the territory of Armenia. It is shown that
in the existing works there are quite a few unsubstantiated assumptions. Based on the analysis,
it is concluded that in the field of seismotectonic studies of the territory of Armenia, there are
a number of urgent tasks that require priority solutions.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article analyses the Typomorphic features of placer gold of conglomerates of the Ortokinskaya
formation of the Early Permian age (P1or) of the Sololiy Uplift of the Olenyok high
and modern channel alluvium of the Ortoku Eekit river, which drains these deposits. It is
found that the extremely heterogeneous composition and complex inner structure are typical
features of the vast majority of gold of the Permian conglomerates. There are several stages
of different fineness (from 251 to 999 ‰) within a single gold particle and as a result, gold
has a mosaic-block inner structure. It is proposed that such heterogeneity is formed due to
epigenetic transformations of primary medium-grade gold in an intermediate reservoir of the
Permian age, and also due to the influence of superposed hydrothermal mineralization with
low-grade gold, related to the processes of the Mesozoic tectonomagmatic activation. The latter
is indicated by the discovery of impregnated gold-sulfide mineralization in the Permian
conglomerates. Ore mineralization is represented by gold, silver, pyrite, sphalerite, chalcopyrite,
galena, argentite, native tin, and barite. Association mineralization to thin tectonic zones
of conglomerate fragmentation suggests that superposed gold-sulfide hydrothermal mineralization
of an impregnated type was formed as a result of manifestations of the Mesozoic tectonomagmatic
activation, when gold-bearing hydrothermal solutions migrated in faults. It is
determined that auriferous conglomerates of the Ortokinskaya formation of the Permian age
were major sources of placer gold of modern alluvium in the studied part of the Ortoku Eekit.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article analyzes the results of the latest theoretical discussions in Western political theory,
whose participants explore the specific features of the formation of the neoliberal discourse of
“post-truth” that destroys the traditions of rational politics and the foundations of the humanistic
paradigm of education that emerged during the European Renaissance and Enlightenment. In the
modern world, classical humanism contrasts sharply with political realities and ideas prevailing in
social discourses, including in the field of social sciences. Nowadays, many intellectuals, politicians
and scientists consider it an almost immutable fact that we have all finally transitioned to
the world of “post-truth” and “post-humanism”. Therefore, we must come to terms with endless
streams of lies, manipulations, meaningless propaganda that significantly primitivize the prevailing
ideas about democratic norms and institutions and try to develop a conceptual apparatus that
reflects the new reality. At the same time, modern concepts of post-truth in many of their aspects
develop ideas that arose at the turn of the 1960s — 1970s, when the contours of the “postmodern
turn” were only outlined in Western political discourse. Moreover, the historical origins of
the modern phenomenon of post-humanism go back to counter-revolutionary ideology and philosophical
controversy with the legacy of the French Revolution and the Enlightenment, which was initiated at the turn of the 18th — 19th centuries in the works of the “founding fathers” of modern
conservatism — Joseph de Maistre and Louis de Bonald. After World War II, an intellectual assault
on humanism became one of the hallmarks of French structuralism and subsequent more radical
post-structuralist doctrines. The article substantiates in detail the thesis that today the topic of
discourse claims to be a kind of “hegemon”, often dictating to the participants in discussions
the nature and direction of the argumentation. Scientists’ disputes on various aspects of political
dominance, political communication and education are no exception in this regard. In the process
of dispersing this trend, it became obvious that a necessary prerequisite for analyzing the language
of politics is an understanding of the specifics of its various levels — from “high” political
theory to personal, subjective characteristics.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article analyzes the views developed and positions taken by young people from the so-called
“Finno-Ugric republics” of the Russian Federation. This analysis is based on a series of surveys
conducted in the five republics in 2020, as well as on official statistics and other materials. It is
shown that the multilateral crisis that takes place in these republics has a serious impact on the
positions and orientations of the young people and it results in an increase of their protest sentiments,
a decrease of their trust in regional and federal political institutions as well as other negative
phenomena. The mass migration of young people away from their republics represents the
main form of their protest. At the same time, a rather high degree of the young people’s readiness
for active protest actions has been recorded. The significance of ethnicity for the social and
cultural positioning of the young people is minimal. Ethnic conflicts do occur, but they are mostly
of a routine and latent nature. Generally, young people support the idea of equality of representatives
of all ethnic groups in the political and social life of the republics. The few ethnic prejudices
present among the youth are more likely to be a consequence of the lack of an active
integration policy in the regions rather than a result of an ethnic nationalist ideology or propaganda
spread by ideologists and activists of ethnic movements. The majority of young people
are not interested in ethnic organizations, and the influence of the older generation and its
values (including the values of traditional culture) is limited, because the cultural environment
of young people is formed primarily under the influence of information communication networks
and Internet resources. Ethnic ideals and values do not fit into this space, which explains why
the ethnic movements of the Finno-Ugric peoples lack a youth audience.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article presents the results of a study of the main trends in the development of regional conflicts
in the republics of the North Caucasus region (2010–2020s), as well as the transformation
of political institutions to manage them. Based on the conceptual analysis of the provisions of the
conflictological and neoinstitutional approaches regarding the essence of the political institutionalization
of conflicts, the authors conclude that the focus of this process is mainly on maintaining
stability, and not on the development of the region. The revealed specificity of the development
of regional conflict allows us to assert the presence of its cyclical nature, which manifests itself,
in particular, in the periodic politicization and depoliticization of ethnicity. The latter remains a
significant factor in the development of the region, primarily due to the formation of related identities,
which is also manifested in the conflicts under study. The significant role of the confessional
factor in conflicts has also been determined. It manifests itself both in the intensification of the
religious radicalization of some citizens, primarily the youth, and in the opposition to it by moderately
minded clergy. A change in the types of conflict in the region is noted: the scale of conflicts
is decreasing and they are developing on the republic or local level. The intensity of the development
of conflict situations and the number of violent manifestations of conflict decrease, while
they more often take on a latent, non-public nature. As a reaction to this state of affairs, protest
forms of expressing contradictions are actualized. In the coming years, the continuation of the
trend associated with the hybrid political institutionalization of conflicts and the preservation of an
orientation towards their “containment” is most likely.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Discourse analysis of texts and speeches has been one of the most popular research methods
since the second half of the 20th century. Its emergence is associated with the works of postmodernists,
such as G. Deleuze, J. Derrida, M. Foucault, E. Laclau, and Ch. Mouffe. The method
is interesting because it allows us to take into account the context of expressed judgments and to
uncover the implied meaning of statements. Despite the widespread use of this method, no unified
methodology has been created. In foreign and Russian science, parallel trends and schools
in the field of discourse analysis were formed, the most influential of which is discussed in this
article. The emergence of social networks, digital platforms and applications has set a new trend
in modifying and creating new variants of discourse analysis of texts and judgments, but already
in a digital environment. Some of them, such as Y. G. Misnikov’s approach, can serve as an alternative
to studying public opinion by means of a social survey. The purpose of this article is to
analyze and systematize both traditional methods of discourse analysis of political judgments and
new approaches using social networks, apps, websites, and digital platforms. In the course of the
research, the methods of classification and systematization as well as, general scientific methods
of analysis and synthesis were used. In the context of digitalization, five varieties of discourse
analysis method were considered for text analysis in a digital environment: critical discourse analysis,
corpus discourse analysis, mediated discourse analysis, multimodal discourse analysis, and
discourse analysis using artificial intelligence. A thorough analysis of these methods allowed us to
identify a gap in the analysis of political judgments on digital platforms of interaction between the
government and the population, and to propose a variant of filling it on the basis of A. Kruglanski’s
parametric model.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article analyzes the mechanisms of deploying mobilization processes in the virtual space of
the Internet: the features of these processes are considered, models of distribution of mobilization
content are highlighted, and techniques and tools of network mobilization are characterized.
Mobilization processes online are characterized by a high degree of anonymity, the complexity of
countering them, as well as low predictability of occurrence and development. Considering the
problem of mobilization messages’ impact effectiveness on various types of target audiences, the
special importance of the content of these messages, and above all, its characteristics such as
extremeness, extraordinary nature, extreme character of information messages, is emphasized.
A special place in the process of transmitting information is occupied by the virality of content —
the possibility of replicating posts by users, which allows stimulating community members to
unite. From the point of view of semantic content, it is advisable to consider mobilization content
through the prism of a cognitive scheme — a key element of the frame, a kind of template through
which a person receives and comprehends information: once in a similar situation, people act according
to an already formed scheme. Mobilization messages in the context of cognitive schemes
can have different variants; however, the analysis allows us to identify their universal components:
the enemy, whose image is demonized; actions that need to be performed; forces that must unite
to perform actions. One of the most urgent problems in the subject field of political mobilization
is the communicative models for the dissemination of mobilization messages in online media. It
is the study of the information transmission processes that allows us to identify the most effective
methods and tools of influence. At the same time, recently, the trend of any absolutely politicizing
virtual platforms and online tools that were not originally intended for mobilization purposes has
become obvious.

value:
The purpose of the article was to find an answer to the question of how governors of the “new
generation” meet the needs of the federal center and the population, and whether they are effective
managers. The authors conducted a political and psychological study to answer this question using the following methods: analysis of secondary data from analytical centers, interviews
with experts, in-depth interviews with the population, case-study and semantic differential. In the
course of the study, the authors revealed the similarity of a number of expectations from both the
authorities and the population: both sides want to see a new, promising, open politician who can
independently solve managerial and economic issues in the region, etc. However, there were also
differences in the goals and objectives set by the federal center when appointing interim heads
of the region or after elections, which to some extent contradicts the demands of society. In addition,
the project “Young Technocrats” created for “novice” governors does not hold up to its name
because the average age of “novice” governors has increased significantly, and the previously
assumed universal concept of governing any territory, regardless of its membership has not been
completely effective. At the same time, the political and psychological criteria highlighted in the
article are one of the factors that influence the active renewal of the governor’s corps which is
both a trend and an answer to the problems of the governor’s corps.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The gender composition of the labor force has changed significantly due to the emergence of a
number of new social and economic trends in most countries. Russia is no exception. Nowadays
women constitute almost half of the workforce in Russia what emphasizes the importance of
understanding their career expectations and professional development paths. Historically, career
research was based on investigation of professional activities of men, which did not provide opportunities
to objectively assess gender-specific factors affecting the career path of women significantly.
The purpose of the study is to identify the characteristics of women's career paths and the
features of career orientations, to assess the impact of gender-specific barriers, and to analyze the
existing practices used by organizations in Russia to support working women. The kaleidoscope
career model is applied as an evaluation tool. The results of the study show that there is a high
level of orientation to challenge and authenticity among working women in Russia, a low level
of influence of gender-specific stereotypes, as well as an insufficient development of practices
directed towards professional development of women in the Russian companies. The conclusions
made in the paper present an important addition to the knowledge about the contextual specificity
of women's careers and can be employed in the development of effective women-oriented
human resource management systems.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The novel Brick Lane by British writer Monica Ali provides a vivid sketch of the life of Bangladeshis
both at home and in London, where the largest community of people from Bangladesh
lives outside South Asia, primarily natives of Sylhet County. The book got its name due to the
street, which has become a distinctive center of concentration for Bengalis in the capital of Great
Britain. Ali’s novel Brick Lane can be regarded as a source on the recent history and ethnography
of Great Britain and Bangladesh. The novel examines the peculiarities of the acculturation of
Bengalis in England, identifies the points of conflicts between the host society and migrants,
the growth of domestic racism in the place of concentration of migrants perceived as outsiders
and the threat to traditional British values. The main characters of the novel — spouses Chanu
and Nazneen, as well as their daughters — found themselves at the junction of two worlds: the
European metropolis and the Asian rural hinterland. The work also depicts the conflict between
representatives of different generations: between labor migrants, who arrived in England twenty
or thirty years ago, recently arrived migrants and between descendants of migrants born in London
who consider England as their homeland and Bangladesh as a distant country. Ali in her
novel describes options for a way out of the conflict of civilizations in which the main characters
were involved. Shanu, unable to achieve career growth and improve his social status, decided to
leave London, while Nazneen and their daughters preferred to remain in the city.

The article is devoted to the life and work of one of the first Turkish entrepreneurs of the
Republican period — Mollazade Nuri Şeker. The source base of the research was made up of
biographical and autobiographical materials published in a collective monograph by Turkish
researchers dedicated to the development of entrepreneurship and labor movement in Turkey
in the first half of the 20th century. Nuri Şeker’s main field of activity was the production of
sugar — a product that the country experienced a shortage of during the Ottoman period. At
the turn of the 19th — 20th centuries, sugar was the main import of Ottoman Turkey. At the
same period of time, the first attempts to solve this problem were made. However, a series of
wars in the second decade of the 20th century prevented this. During the national liberation
struggle the shortage of this product began to be felt especially acutely. After the proclamation
of the Republic, the issue of developing its own sugar production was decided at the state
level. Nuri Şeker was a pioneer in this area. He managed to establish sugar production from
scratch: from the cultivation of sugar beets, which were not produced in Turkey at that time,
to the crystallization of sugar and he was able to fulfill a dream that had haunted him since
childhood. However, despite unconditional success in his entrepreneurial activity, Nuri Şeker
could not surpass his only competitor at that time — Şakir-bey (the creator of the sugar factory
in Alpullu) who enjoyed the full support of the government. In addition to Nuri Şeker’s
professional activities, the article also discusses his personal qualities that aided him in achieving
success.

This article examines the influence of the “dark triad” personality traits — narcissism, Machiavellianism
and psychopathy — on the development of entrepreneurial intentions through the prism
of the theory of planned behavior. The theory explains entrepreneurial intentions formation
trough emergence and development of the attitude towards entrepreneurship, relevant subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. These personality traits are considered in the study in
their non-clinical manifestations. The proposed theoretical model has been tested on a sample
of 191 students and graduates from 13 Russian universities. The empirical data were collected
through an online survey. The analysis was carried out with OLS estimation. To assess the mediation
effects, the PROCESS macro for the SPSS data analysis package was employed. The study
identifies the key role of narcissism as an antecedent of intention to start one’s own business,
while the main element of the theory of planned behavior mediating psychological effects is the
attitude towards entrepreneurship. In addition, a negative relationship between psychopathy and
subjective norms as well as perceived behavioral control has been established. With this study,
we contribute to the theory of personality traits in the context of entrepreneurship and expand
knowledge about the role of negatively perceived individual psychological characteristics in the
entrepreneurial process. In addition, this work details the theory of planned behavior in terms
of identifying possible antecedents of attitudes towards entrepreneurship, subjective norms, and
perceived behavioral control. The results of this study can be used by entrepreneurship educators,
especially in courses and trainings on the psychology of entrepreneurship.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The purpose of the study is to identify the features of human resource management (HRM) in
the context of the crises (2008–2009 and 2020–2021). A review of secondary sources on HRM
during both crises revealed five HRM practices necessary to mitigate the impact of the crisis on
the organization and its employees: optimization of the organization's work; maintaining transparency
of communications between employees; recruiting; training and development; retention
and motivation. The implementation of these practices was considered for each of the crises
and a comparative analysis was done. The study showed that HRM has been transformed: the
key features of HRM in the crisis of 2008–2009 was a decrease in personnel costs, while in the
crisis of 2020–2021 the main issue for HRM was the transfer of employees to a remote work, the
introduction of digital technologies to maintain the functioning of all business processes, actions
aimed to combat the stress of employees and to maintain their well-being as well as physical and
psychological health. The scientific novelty lies in the comparative analysis of HRM in Russian
companies during the crises of 2008–2009 and 2020–2021 and identifying aspects of HRM transformation
over this period. The results of this study can be used by modern organizations as an
agenda to improve the effectiveness of HRM practices during a crisis as well as to plan further
HRM development, and prepare a crisis management plan.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Contemporary urban governance increasingly involves the participation of various groups of
stakeholders in the strategic planning and development of urban environment. Coordination of
actions of city authorities and stakeholders becomes one of the most important issues of the governmental
effectiveness, while the search for interested groups and cooperation with them is an
important direction of both research and governmental activities. In this study, we aim to identify
stakeholders in smart city development process and test the effectiveness of the stakeholderanalysis
method as a tool for improving strategic planning of the urban environment, using the
case of Moscow. We demonstrate how the use of the tools of social network analysis allows to
focus strategic documents on stakeholder groups that play an important role in the development
of the city, although not an obvious one. The object of empirical study is social relations between
the main stakeholders of urban environment that influence strategic management. We use the
centrality measures analysis to identify the main stakeholders that have the strongest and weakest
impact on the development of a smart city of Moscow, and the edge betweenness method to identify
the existing communities of urban actors. The paper discusses the problems of communication
strategizing in large cities, and also concludes that the use of stakeholder analysis in the context
of the urban environment can improve the quality of strategy development and implementation.

value:
This paper is an attempt to explore the responsive national policies and business strategies
based on evaluation of the impacts of COVID-19. While the world economy is recovering from
the pandemic, many business activities have been dramatically depressed. The tendency of deglobalization
is emerging, accompanied by the digitalization of communication and transformation
of industries. It is worth considering what measures should be taken in this dynamic global
business environment, as well as providing recommendations for future economic development
and strategic decision-making. The governments should take appropriate measures in a timely
manner to respond to the environmental challenges and better adapt to the new world in the
post-COVID-19 era. Multinational enterprises are supposed to adjust their business models and
respond with advanced international strategies. The research method of the paper is the literature
review, based on which we have systematically analyzed the dynamics of international business
and the current situation of globalization. Also rational strategic options are proposed for
governments and multinational enterprises to consider.

dc.description.abstract

value:
At the end of the first third of the 15th century, a prominent representative of the Muslim elite, a
sayyid and theologian from Yemen, Ahmad al-Yamani (died in 1450), arrived in Dagestan and
stopped in Kumukh, one of the major political centers of Mountainous Dagestan. He devoted
the last two decades of his life to the spread and strengthening of Islam among the highlanders.
Since that time, Kumukh turned into a large Muslim center and the “internal” Islamization of the
mountain tribes began. The result of all this activity in Kumukh was that almost all of Dagestan
was islamized by the end of 16th century. Researchers have presented different versions of Ahmad
al-Yamani’s arrival in Dagestan. The version that he arrived in Dagestan on behalf of the
Abbasid Caliph in Cairo to Islamize the non-Muslim peoples of Dagestan was considered the
most widespread in the academic environment. A unique manuscript of the 15th century, which
was recently discovered, belonging to the pen of al-Yamani, called “At-Tuhfa al-Ulugbekiyya
/ Ulugbek’s gift”, contains new valuable material about the life of al-Yamani. He wrote it as a gift
for Ulugbek (the ruler of Maverannahr and Shahrukh’s son), while he was in the Timurid emirate.
The manuscript’s material was translated by the author and introduced into scientific use for
the first time. The studied material, as well as other Arabic-language sources of the 15th — 19th
centuries, allow us to assert that al-Yamani’s arrival was inspired by Shahrukh, and the mission
was not only Islamization, but also strengthening and extending Timurids’ positions in the
Western Caspian region, which was one of the political and military interests of the Timurids’
opponents — the Kara-Koyunlu Turkoman confederation.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The study assesses factors influencing public bodies’decisions to conduct purchases with small
and medium enterprises (SMEs). Mechanisms supporting SMEs are enshrined in the laws governing
the system of state and state-corporate procurement in Russia and are mandatory for
Russian contracting authorities. The inclusion of these mechanisms in the public procurement
legislation implies their direct (explicit) impact, which applies equally to all regulated organizations.
However, despite some similarities in the mechanisms for supporting SMEs in the laws on
public procurement (both laws dictate to conduct set-aside procedures for SMEs), the frequency
of procurement with SMEs participation differs between 44 FL and 223 FL. The study revealed
that the choice of contracting authorities is influenced by the type of law, the position in the
public power hierarchy, and the form of ownership of the organisation. The decision to purchase
from SMEs is also related to the subject of the procurement and the method of identifying a supplier.
The results of the study demonstrate heterogeneity in the behaviour of contracting authorities
when purchasing from SMEs and explain the reasons of heterogeneity by differences in the
regulatory pressure.

The article aims to analyze various illustrations of court case stories about Song dynasty judge
Bao Zheng (包拯, also named as Bao-gong 包公, Bao Longtu 包龍圖, 999–1062), found in
Qing woodblock editions of the novel and popular woodblock prints nianhua, in order to determine
how tales about the famous incorruptible judge have been transformed in the visual
culture of late imperial times. The authors discovered several woodblock editions of novels
about Judge Bao-gong, or Bao Dragon-Design (Bao Longtu), in the St. Petersburg State University
library including one illustrated edition and several non-illustrated ones. The State
Hermitage and other Russian collections hold an impressive number of popular prints depicting
scenes from the traditional drama based on Judge Bao stories, while only several of them
refer directly to literary pieces, being mostly scenes from the plays. The protagonists are shown
wearing theatrical make-up matching their theatrical character, Judge Bao is recognized by a
black-colored face symbolizing his astuteness and uncorrupted nature. The article attempts
to find connections between Shi Yukun’s 石玉昆 novel “The Three Heroes and Five Gallants” (Sanxiawuyi 三俠五義, 1879), the traditional drama plays and nianhua prints featuring Judge
Bao, which proliferated in the late 19th — early 20th centuries. This research claims to define

The article discusses the projects aimed to develop the national higher education system: “5-100”
supporting regional flagship universities and the “Priority 2030” program, as well as the problems
of their implementation and opportunities for participating universities to improve their results
in terms of ensuring the constitutional right of the citizens for affordable and quality education.
It has become evident that although the concentration of resources in the group of leading universities
contributes to their entry into prestigious international academic rankings, it widens the
gap between them and the bulk of other universities as regards the infrastructure, procurement
and human resourcing that deteriorates the development of the educational system as a whole.
The authors emphasize the necessity to consider the experience of implementing the “5-100”
project in the future, in particular, when carrying out the “Priority 2030” project launched in
2021. The authors outline positive aspects of this project which can facilitate the development
mechanisms for the regions in the Russian Federation as a result of the government funding and
the creation of consortia with leading universities. The article also covers the key points during
the tendering procedures of the Priority 2030 project, which in the future can play a significant role in the process of implementation of development programs for individual universities. The
authors conclude that the use of the “5-100” project experience can improve the performance of
the entire system of the national higher education.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article deals with the question of the abstract understanding of the cultural representation
of women in Lezgin folklore. Attention is paid to the ideas concerning gender stereotypes that
differ in various ethnic cultures, in connection with which the need to consider the sociocultural
aspect for the display of the gender factor in Lezgin proverbs and sayings is revealed.
The question is raised about the specific features, according to which the image of a woman,
presented in Lezgin paremias, mainly represents negatively connotated gender stereotypes.
It is noted that the influence of the “other” class ideology is manifested inconsistently and
sometimes selectively because in Lezgin folklore, along with proverbs with a negative image of
women, directly opposite texts with a positive image coexisted. In the article, special attention
is paid to aphorisms in which a negative image of a woman and features of the manifestation
of gender stereotypes in Lezgin culture emerge. The novelty of the study is seen in the fact that
this position has practically not been considered before and has not been studied on the basis
of the Lezgin paremias. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that the study of folk paremias
with the identification features of the female image on specific factual material and the
establishment of development paths and the reasons for the existence of this thematic group is
currently the subject of increased attention among folklorists, linguists, culturologists, etc. The
author dwells on the identification of the socio-cultural aspect of the standard and distinctive
indicators of the female image. It is demonstrated that in order to display gender stereotypes,
one should take into account the national identity of the people and also determine the place
and role of women in the structure of family, family relationships and in society.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Vitamins A and E are known as nutrients involved in metabolic processes and facilitating
the adaptation of animals. The metabolism of these vitamins is closely
related to lipid metabolism, which has seasonal variations in animals inhabiting
northern latitudes. The aim of this study was to investigate the concentrations
of retinol (vitamin A) and α-tocopherol (vitamin E) in the cold season (October
to February) in tissues of Canidae species that have different ecological characteristics:
the blue fox (Vulpes syn. Alopex lagopus), silver fox (Vulpes vulpes), their
interspecific hybrids (Vulpes×Vulpes), raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides),
and grey wolf (Canis lupus). In addition, age-related differences in the levels
of these vitamins were determined. Results showed the distribution of retinol
and α-tocopherol in the body of the canids was similar, with larger amounts
being found in the liver and kidney cortex, which play a regulatory role in the
metabolism of these nutrients. The higher retinol level in the liver of wolves and
interspecific hybrids of blue fox and silver fox, as compared to the retinol level
in the liver of other species, might be species-specific and could also be attributed
to dietary differences. The blue fox and raccoon dog both have a higher
capacity for α-tocopherol accumulation in the cold season, apparently due to
their ability to store substantial fat reserves. Retinol and α-tocopherol levels
were generally higher in the tissues of mature animals.

Transcriptomic analysis of sym28 and sym29 supernodulating mutants of pea (Pisum sativum L.) under complex inoculation with beneficial microorganisms. Bio. Comm. 66(3): 181–197.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The garden pea (Pisum sativum L.), like most members of Fabaceae family, is capable
of forming symbioses with beneficial soil microorganisms such as nodule
bacteria (rhizobia), arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and plant growth promoting
bacteria (PGPB). The autoregulation of nodulation (AON) system is known to
play an important role in controlling both the number of nodules and the level
of root colonization by AM via root-to-shoot signaling mediated by CLAVATA/
ESR-related (CLE) peptides and their receptors. In the pea, mutations in genes
Sym28 (CLV2-like) and Sym29 (CLV1-like), which encode receptors for CLE peptides,
lead to the supernodulation phenotype, i.e., excessive nodule formation. The aim
of the present study was to analyze the response of pea cv. ‘Frisson’ (wild type)
and mutants P64 (sym28) and P88 (sym29) to complex inoculation with rhizobia,
AM fungi and PGPB, with regard to biomass accumulation, yield and transcriptomic
alterations. The plants were grown in quartz sand for 2 and 4 weeks after
inoculation with either rhizobia (Rh) or complex inoculation with Rh + AM, Rh +
PGPB, and Rh+AM+PGPB, and the biomass and yield were assessed. Transcriptome
sequencing of whole shoots and roots was performed using a modified
RNAseq protocol named MACE (Massive Analysis of cDNA Ends). In the experimental
conditions, P88 (sym29) plants demonstrated the best biomass accumulation
and yield, as compared to the wild type and P64 (sym28) plants, whereas
P64 (sym28) had the lowest rate of biomass and seed yield. The transcriptome
analysis showed that both supernodulating mutants more actively responded to
biotic and abiotic factors than the wild-type plants and demonstrated increased
expression of genes characteristic to late stages of nodule development. The
roots of P64 (sym28) plants responded to AM+Rh treatment with upregulation of
genes encoding plastid proteins, which can be connected with the activation of
carotenoid biosynthesis (namely, the non-mevalonate pathway that takes place
in root plastids). The more active response to symbionts in P88 (sym29) plants,
as compared to cv. ‘Frisson’, was associated with counterregulation of transcripts
involved in chloroplast functioning and development in leaves, which accompanies
successful plant development in symbiotic conditions. Finally, the effect of
retardation of plant aging upon mycorrhization on a transcriptomic level was recorded
for cv. ‘Frisson’ but not for P64 (sym28) and P88 (sym29) mutants, which
points towards its possible connection with the AON system. The results of this work link the plant’s autoregulation with the responsiveness
to inoculation with beneficial soil microorganisms.

Protein glycation and drought response of pea (Pisum sativum L.) root nodule proteome: a proteomics approach. Bio. Comm. 66(3): 210–224.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Because of ongoing climate change, drought is becoming the major factor limiting
productivity of all plants, including legumes. As these protein-rich crops form
symbiotic associations with rhizobial bacteria — root nodules — they readily lose
their productivity under drought conditions. Understanding the underlying molecular
mechanisms might give access to new strategies to preserve the productivity
of legume crops under dehydration. As was shown recently, development of
drought response is accompanied by alterations in the patterns of protein glycation
and formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) that might be a part
of unknown regulatory mechanisms. Therefore, here we address the effects of
moderate drought on protein dynamics and AGE patterns in pea (Pisum sativum)
root nodules. For this, plants inoculated with rhizobial culture were subjected to
osmotic stress for one week, harvested, the total protein fraction was isolated
from root nodules by phenol extraction, analyzed by bottom-up LC-MS-based
proteomics, and AGE patterns were characterized. Surprisingly, despite the clear
drought-related changes in phenotype and stomatal conductivity, only minimal
accompanying expressional changes (14 rhizobial and 14 pea proteins, mostly involved
in central metabolism and nitrogen fixation) could be observed. However,
71 pea and 97 rhizobial proteins (mostly transcription factors, ABC transporters
and effector enzymes) were glycated, with carboxymethylation being the major
modification type. Thereby, the numbers of glycated sites in nodule proteins dramatically
decreased upon stress application. It might indicate an impact of glycation
in regulation of transport, protein degradation, central, lipid and nitrogen
metabolism. The data are available at Proteome Xchange (accession: PXD024042).

dc.description.abstract

value:
Proper diet is critical for laboratory-reared animals, as it may affect not only
their welfare, but also experimental results. Amphipods (Crustacea: Amphipoda)
play important roles in ecosystems and are often used in environmental
research. Endemic amphipods from the ancient Lake Baikal are promising for
laboratory bioassays; however, there are currently no laboratory cultures. In
this work, we determine how different diets affect the color and metabolism
of a laboratory-reared Baikal amphipod, Eulimnogammarus cyaneus. We found
that in freshly collected blue-colored animals, body color correlated with total
carotenoid content. Total carotenoid levels did not differ after long-term
(two months) feeding with a close to natural carotenoid-enriched, or even a
carotenoid-depleted diet. Nevertheless, antennae color was closer to red in the
natural-like diet group. It is likely that the carotenoids from the commercial
diet are not properly metabolized in E. cyaneus. The animals fed commercial
diets had a higher glycogen content, which may signify a higher metabolic rate.
Overall, we show that a carotenoid-enriched diet optimized for decapods is not
optimal for amphipods, likely due to different carotenoid compositions, and the
diet for long-term rearing of E. cyaneus and other Baikal amphipods requires
supplementation.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This study presents the results of polydispersity analysis of soil-like bodies from
two various polar regions using the laser light scattering method. The differences
in the particle size distribution of cryoconite samples from the Anuchin
Glacier (Antarctica) and the Mushketov Glacier (Arctic) are described. The samples
obtained from the Mushketov Glacier are characterized by a finer particle
size distribution than samples collected on the Anuchin Glacier. While comparing
our results with previously published studies, it was found that the method
of laser light scattering shows a lower content of small fractions (<0.05 mm)
compared to the classical methods of sedimentation, since these methods are
based on fundamentally different physical principles. The laser method used
requires low amounts of samples (0.2–0.5 g), while the classical sedimentary
method uses a higher gravimetric portion of cryoconite (5–10 g), which is critical
for field sampling.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Socio-political changes in the world actualize one of the most significant social roles of
every person — the citizen. Modern youth are gradually joining the socially active part of
the population. This article briefly presents the view of foreign researchers on the development
of citizenship from childhood. It also describes the results of the research, the aim of
which is to study the characteristics of civic position in early and late adulthood. In this
case, the subject’s ego-identity status is taken into account. The main research method is
an ascertaining experiment using methods aimed at establishing the status of ego-identity
of boys and girls. The study involved 729 people (217 boys and 512 girls) aged 14–24 years.
The main hypotheses of the study were the following assumptions. As they grow older, the
statuses of the general ego identity are replaced by higher ones. The level of formation of
civic position is partly contained in the level of personal identity: a high level of civic position
correlates to high indicators of general ego-identity. According to the results of the experiment, the hypotheses are confirmed. In addition, gender differences were found in
the studied indicators. This study can serve as a basis for further exploration of the topics of
civic position, social maturity and activity. In the future, it is possible to create social programs
aimed at raising the level of political consciousness and involvement of young people
in social activities.

studied the patterns of development of psychomotor skills in different periods of ontogenesis,
in various types of professional activity. She was the author of the first monograph in Russia
devoted to the psychomotor organization of an adult, was the co-author of five monographs
and six textbooks for psychology students and practitioners. Grishchenko’s works made a significant
contribution to the creation of a psychological service in the education system, the
development of psychological foundations and methods of professional orientation and the
study of the impact of the effects of radiation pollution on the intellectual potential and development
of a person. The results of her research are relevant today for the theory and applied
branches of psychology. She successfully combined scientific work with the training and education
of students and postgraduates, was a teacher with a capital letter and brought up many
generations of psychologists who work in different parts of Russia and abroad. The article
presents the memories of Nina Albertovna’s students from different years.

dc.description.abstract

value:
In Russia, educational migration ranks fourth among the reasons for migration. During educational
migration, students experience stresses similar to those of Russian students associated
with the passage of stages of development in relation to age, academic stress, intensified by
moving and separation from important people, and stress inherent in the transfer processes:
acculturation, associated with finding oneself in an unfamiliar culture and the need to handle
complex concepts in an unfamiliar language, which, when delayed, flows into cumulative stress.
All of these types of stress affect the health of students. Russian universities are interested in
graduating not only erudite, but also healthy specialists and potential fellow citizens. This article
presents data from an experimental study of the formation of neurotic disorders, alexithymia
and situational and personal anxiety in migrant students in connection with the level and timing
of adaptation to determine the targets of primary impact and correction, as well as highlight the
relationship between neuroses, anxiety and alexithymia. The study included a sample of students
living in Novosibirsk: 109 migrant students from Central Asian countries in the 1–3rd courses of
study in adolescence from 17 to 20 years old (17.81 ± 0.90). The following methods were used:
Toronto alexithymic scale — 26, Spielberger — Hanin anxiety scale, STAI, Heck — Hess neurosis
express diagnostic questionnaire and BFB. The significance of differences between individual
indicators in the groups was determined using the Mann — Whitney U-test, and Spearman’s
rank correlation coefficient was used for the level of relationships. The study showed a high level
of anxiety, alexithymia and neurotic reactions in poorly adapted migrant students. More adapted
migrant students showed lower rates of alexithymia and anxiety, while maintaining high rates
of susceptibility to neurotic disorders, with prolonged acculturation. Thus, the timing of adaptation
becomes important targets for correction, with the need for events and trainings that raise
awareness of Russian culture and mentality.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Sexual dimorphism (SD) in the threespine stickleback Gasterosteus aculeatus reflects
the different roles of the sexes in reproduction and their adaptations to
different ecological niches. We quantified SD in one population of marine stickleback
from the White Sea, collected during the spawning period from three
spawning grounds, each at a distance of 5 km or less from the others. We used
a landmark-based approach to quantify variation in 44 morphometric linear
traits. In total, 749 females and 693 males were analyzed. In males, anterior
body parts are larger — the base of the caudal fin and armor structures such
as the first and second dorsal spines and the pelvic spine. Females have larger
posterior bodies — the abdomen, pelvic girdle and the third dorsal spine. The
SD of caudal body parts exhibits complex patterns. In White Sea threespine
stickleback, SD patterns are generally similar to other populations of the species,
but more often show male-biased patterns. Female-biased size SD may be
associated with the female biased sex ratio of White Sea stickleback.

Leopards have been observed to ambush prey by jumping down on it from

risk of suffering severe injuries seems to be too high for this technique to be a
usual way of predation on horned mammals such as male impalas. Our results
can be useful in discussing proposed paleobiological hunting scenarios and living

dc.description.abstract

value:
In this article, the research supervisor (Bocharov V. V) and consultant (Dyakov N. N.) of the
new master’s program “Social and Cultural Anthropology of the Peoples of Asia and Africa”,
which will be opened at the Faculty of Oriental Studies of St. Petersburg State University in
2021, share the motives that prompted its creation. According to them, the goal of the program
is to bring the study of “modernity” back into the fold of Oriental Studies, as a science
of Eastern (Oriental) cultures. Moreover, scientific activity in this direction should contribute
to the creation of a theory of the development of the East, since the accumulated material
on the socio-political practices of modern states in the region indicates, on the one hand,
the presence of obvious universals, and, on the other hand, they are significantly different
from the Western processes that are identical in form. Otherwise, states (even those that have
surpassed the West in many respects), are doomed to remain in the status of “underdeveloped”.
The reason for this is the dominance of the evolutionary paradigm (“savagery — barbarism
— civilization”), where “civilization” is the standard of society’s progressiveness, which
has actually turned it into a kind of ideologeme. The development of such a new theory also
has an important socio-political significance because the discourse of “underdevelopment”
(sous-développement) in many respects gives rise to revolutionism (a characteristic of the East)
under the slogans of overcoming it, which is always a threat to state collapse, chaos, and, in the
end, humanitarian catastrophe. The anthropological approach is the basis of the international
Russian-Armenian scientific project (SPbSU — PAARA — YSU), supported by the Russian
Foundation for Basic Research and the Committee on Science of the Armenian Ministry of
Education, Science, Culture and Sport. The member of the project V. G. Geghamyan who specializes
in studying the political culture of Turkey, also shares his thoughts on the “program”
and the role that its methodology plays in its successful implementation.

dc.description.abstract

value:
India and Myanmar are two neighboring countries that share a border of nearly 1500 kilometers
and have a relationship based on history, politics, culture, and ethnicity from over
2000 years to the present. India officially established diplomatic relations with Myanmar after
the Southeast Asian country gained independence in 1948. Since 1992, the implementation of
India’s Look East Policy in addition to the strategic importance of Myanmar as a neighbor created
a catalyst for new development in relations between the two countries. India — Myanmar
relations have shifted from a cold and strained status (1962–1991) to improvement, consolidation
and development in the years 1992–2014. Furthermore, the relationship between the two
countries was developed on the basis of inheriting the achievements of the previous period
(1948–1991) that were not only in the political sphere. There was a complete development
in many aspects (politics — diplomacy, economy, security — defense, etc.) for two decades
after the end of the Cold War. This article focuses on analyzing the adjustment of India’s foreign
policy, especially the implementation of the Look East Policy and the “Act East” strategy,
and the impact of this adjustment for the development of India — Myanmar relations during
1992–2014.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article examines the main trends in Confucian exegetical thought during the Southern
dynasties period. Confucian exegesis, as an original intellectual tradition, was in a state of
crisis at that time and experienced significant influence both from the syncretic teaching xuanxue
and Buddhism. This situation determined the particular popularity of some canonical
texts and commentaries and the actual oblivion of others. Losing its monopoly in education,
Confucianism often came down to providing ritual ceremonies at court. The article examines
several aspects of this crisis state of southern Confucianism. It identifies and analyzes a new
type of commentary that appeared in the exegesis of this period, and it explores the main intellectual
tendencies in the Confucian exegesis of the Southern dynasties period and traces the
reasons for their appearance. The author examines features of subcommentary-yishu, through
which scholars realized new forms of intellectual activity. This commentary originated from
Buddhist monks’ translation and teaching activities approximately in the mid-5th century AD.
In the exegesis of the Southern dynasties, yishu provided a platform for relatively free philosophical
discussion, often associated with the practice of lecturing. It is important that this
practice in Confucianism and Buddhism of that time had many common features. The changes
in the educational standard (the emergence of schools with a new structure) are traced as
well as its influence on the position of Confucian commentary in the educational process (apparent
instability of the set of authoritative commentaries).

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article analyzes the results of studying the features of perfectionism and its relationship
with anxiety, internal and external motivation, and mental images in athletes. The authors relied
on R. Frost’s concept of the multidimensional structure of perfectionism and the division
of its parameters into adaptive and maladaptive. The study involved 249 athletes (Mage = 20,18;
SDage = 3,13) from different regions of the Russian Federation. As a result, it was shown that
trait anxiety is significantly higher in athletes with a higher level of perfectionism. Adaptive
parameters of perfectionism (“personal standards and organization”) are positively correlated
with all parameters of internal motivation in athletes (“motivation to know”, “experience stimulation”
and “motivation toward accomplishments”). In addition, a maladaptive parameter
such as “doubts about actions” negatively correlate with all parameters of internal motivation.
The external motivation parameter “social approval” is significantly associated with all parameters
of maladaptive perfectionism (“perceived coach pressure”, “perceived parental pressure”,
“concern over mistakes”, “doubts about actions”). In addition, the parameter “personal standards
and organization” has a significant impact on the frequency of using all types of mental
images.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Recently wild-type p53-induced phosphatase was implicated in the pathogenesis
of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and “pre-leukemia” myeloproliferative
conditions. Here we decided to check how the strategy directed to phosphatase
inhibition affected sensitivity to conventional chemotherapy. All experiments
were conducted on AML cell lines cultivated in vitro. The levels of wild-type
p53-induced phosphatase vary in different AML cell lines. The chemical compound
GSK2830371 reduced levels of phosphatase and diminished its activity.
GSK2830371 did not significantly change the cell cycle distribution of AML
cells when used alone or in combination with the anti-cancer chemotherapeutic
drug Cytosar but increased caspase-dependent PARP1 cleavage. In contrast
with previous studies, we did not observe the negative effect of phosphatase
activity inhibition and depletion on cells when a chemical inhibitor was used as
monotherapy. Using a combination of GSK2830371 with Cytosar we were able
to reduce the threshold of chemotherapy-dependent cytotoxicity and more efficiently
eliminate leukemic cells. We propose considering inhibition of wildtype
p53-induced phosphatase as a prospective strategy in improving anti-AML
therapy.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The “May Fourth Movement” is undoubtedly a turning point in the history of modern Chinese
society and culture. It must be acknowledged that the direction of development of Chinese
culture was largely influenced by famous Chinese writer, educator and revolutionary Lu Xun
(1881–1936). The structure of Lu Xun’s ideas and the influence of Lu Xun’s ideas today have
shaped the ever-living “Lu Xun’s culture”. The main essence of Lu Xun’s culture is embodied in
many important judgments regarding the development of the nation, society and culture. These
judgments are aimed not only at the past, but also at the future and the present. Many of his
thoughts were a century ahead their time. Speaking about Lu Xun’s anti-traditionalist approach
to the development of new culture, one cannot ignore the rationalistic cultural spirit of the enlightenment
ideology behind it. Lu Xun’s pessimism at the beginning of the “May Fourth Movement”
and the subsequent bitterness can serve as a key to understanding the cultural spirit of the
“May Fourth Movement” and its logical connection with Lu Xun’s culture. Analyzing Lu Xun’s
criticism of China’s unrealized democracy and his skepticism about the new culture, one can
see that Lu Xun’s inner mood is shrouded in a shadow of disappointment. Moreover, until the
end of his days, he was accompanied by pain caused by too sober and deep perception of life. In
addition, the reason for Lu Xun’s distrust is that too often, due to his decency and simplicity, he
was deceived. We believe that the spiritual world of Lu Xun has always been characterized by the
presence of two levels: Lu Xun is open, throwing loud calls, and Lu Xin is hidden, suffering and
lonely. At the same time, his inherent sharpness stems from a deep understanding of the situation,
and his bitterness comes from a firm will and an uncompromising attitude to his views. The
reason for such bitterness is due to the strength and immensity of the objects of his resistance. Lu
Xun’s views have enriched the thinking of China and all mankind.

value:
The article presents the results of a study that analyzed the features of subjective well-being
and the search for sensations in young people who have been infected with the SARS-COV-2 coronavirus (COVID-19). 62 convalescents who underwent COVID-19 (men aged
21.84 ± 4.46 years) were examined 90 days after being discharged from the hospital. The main
clinical forms (CF) of COVID-19 in this study were inapparent form (20 people — 32.25 %),
acute respiratory viral infection (22 people — 35.49 %) and pneumonia without respiratory
failure (20 people — 32.25 %). The diagnosis of all clinical cases of COVID-19, examination,
treatment and discharge of patients from the hospital were carried out in accordance with
the regulatory documents. Psychodiagnostic research was carried out according to the questionnaires
“Scale of subjective well-being” and “Scale of the search for sensations”. Voluntary
informed consent to take part in the study was received from all participants. The indicators of
subjective well-being in all groups were mainly of average values, and indicators of the desire
for stimulation in all groups were generally low. The data on the correlation between the scales
of methods indicate the direction of possible psycho-prophylactic work with convalescents.
The article notes that self-preserving behavior today allows us to combine the psychological
and somatic characteristics of the respondents, therefore, their medical and psychological
support should be at the proper level in order to timely identify and stop (if necessary) postcovid
syndrome.

A brief report is given on the tardigrade species Notahypsibius pallidoides, discovered
in a moss cushion in the vicinity of Saint Petersburg. Morphological

state of knowledge of Russian fauna of Tardigrada is characterised, and
all available data on the distribution of Notahypsibius pallidoides and its genetic
variability are summarised. The data obtained in this study by methods of DNA
barcoding demonstrated that studied specimens of the tardigrada population
isolated in Russia belong to the same species (Notahypsibius pallidoides) as the
control specimens isolated in Austria though represent another haplotype thus
confirming the presence of Notahypsibius pallidoides for the fauna of Russia.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The study presented in the current article is related to the phenomenon of city dwellers moving
to the country. It refers to the existential context of this phenomenon as the least studied and at
the same time having significant heuristic potential for psychological science, its purpose is to
identify the unique semantic structure of country lifeworld, as well as to investigate the stability
and variability of this structure over time. Country life is considered as a special environment
that contributes to the acquisition of personal meaning of life, the solution of existential issues
of former city dwellers. The study was conducted on the material of country residents’ notes
in social networks (87 text fragments) and literary texts (176 fragments). To analyze the data,
thematic analysis and qualitative content analysis were used. The themes associated with the
description of personally significant experiences of country residents were identified and described:
