Important Addition

This year has seen considerable successes for the Institute and its staff in terms of both academic research and our role in projecting the history and environmental significance of the polar regions more widely. In the physical and social sciences, and in our library, archival, and museum activities, we have secured a wide range of external grants. The acquisition of significant external funding for research in the social sciences and humanities, and for museum activities, represents an important addition to our continuing strong portfolio of competitively won research council grants relating to high-latitude environmental change. Institute staff hold grants of almost £2.5 million, and it is this external funding that has supported polar field programmes in both the natural and social sciences during 2004 in Antarctica, Greenland, Svalbard, and the Russian Far East. The information collected, using methods ranging from airborne lasers deployed over glaciers to informal discussions with native Siberian reindeer herders, will provide the basis for a number of forthcoming publications in both academic journals and books accessible to a wider readership.

Abstract. Preliminary analyses of Lake El'gygytgyn sediment indicate a wide range of ecosystem responses to warmer than present climates. While palynological work describing all interglacial vegetation is ongoing, sufficient data exist to compare recent warm events (the postglacial thermal maximum, PGTM, and marine isotope stage, MIS5) with "super" interglaciations (MIS11, MIS31). Palynological assemblages associated with these climatic optima suggest two types of vegetation responses: one dominated by deciduous taxa (PGTM, MIS5) and the second by evergreen conifers (MIS11, MIS31). MIS11 forests show a similarity to modern Picea–Larix–Betula–Alnus forests of Siberia. While dark coniferous forest also characterizes MIS31, the pollen taxa show an affinity to the boreal forest of the lower Amur valley (southern Russian Far East). Despite vegetation differences during these thermal maxima, all glacial–interglacial transitions are alike, being dominated by deciduous woody taxa. Initially Betula shrub tundra established and was replaced by tundra with tree-sized shrubs (PGTM), Betula woodland (MIS5), or Betula–Larix (MIS11, MIS31) forest. The consistent occurrence of deciduous forest and/or high shrub tundra before the incidence of maximum warmth underscores the importance of this biome for modeling efforts. The El'gygytgyn data also suggest a possible elimination or massive reduction of Arctic plant communities under extreme warm-earth scenarios.

One of the features of the oral Russian speech of bilingual speakers of the indigenous languages of Russia is the omission / the overuse of the “reflexive” affix -sʲa (a “middle voice” marker with a wide range of uses including reflexive, reciprocal, anticausative, passive, and some others). We discuss the data on the nonstandard use of -sʲa in the Russian speech of bilingual speakers of two language groups that differ both from Russian and from each other in this grammatical domain: Samoyedic (Forest Enets, Nganasan, and Nenets) and Tungusic (Nanai and Ulch). The data come from the corpus of contact-influenced Russian speech, which is being created by our team. We show that the mismatches in standard and nonstandard usage cannot be explained by direct structural copying from the donor language (indigenous) to the recipient one (the local variety of Russian). Nor is there a consistent system which differs from standard Russian since there are many more usages that follow the rules of standard Russian. The influence of the indigenous languages explains some overuses and omissions; the others can be explained by other factors, e.g., difficulties in the acquisition of verb pairs with non-transparent semantic or syntactic relations.

This chapter examines how the Internet is transforming academic research in the sciences, social sciences, and humanities. The question of changes in knowledge is one that science and technology should be well equipped to answer. The chapter also offers examples that show the range of e-Research. E-Research needs novel tools, and organisational structures as well as researchers should change their everyday practices. VOSON can be seen as part of a burgeoning engagement in e-Social Science. The e-Research component has the advantage of enhanced visibility. The sociology of science and technology does not have the conceptual tools to simultaneously deal with how research communities are oriented to shared objects, how this impacts various styles of science and knowledge, and how scholarly practices are therefore being transformed.

The article is devoted to the introduction of the term ‘Jōmon’ into Russian archaeological literature, its understanding, and the contribution of Russian scholars to Jōmon studies starting from the late 20th century. The recognition of the term and its use had some peculiarities which were caused not only by the language barrier and political events in the far eastern region, but mostly by the specifics of the archaeological investigations in the Russian Far East and the priority of research focused first on the Ainu origin, and then on the Palaeolithic rather on the nature of the Neolithic. The rise of the interest in Jōmon grew in the late 1960s and early 1970s with the discoveries of initial pottery with Final Pleistocene dates in Japan and Russia (Lower and Middle Amur Region). During the 1980s and 1990s this trend was realized in a series of publications, international conferences, and the first joint Russian-Japanese archaeological projects. The current stage is illustrated by the institualization of several research centres of Jōmon studies in Russia (Novosibirsk, Vladivostok), by a high level of international cooperation, and by a wide range of research topics, including chronological, technological, ritual and other aspects of the Jōmon period.

Pharate male, pupa and larva of Eurycnemus cf. nozakii Kobayashi 1998 are described based on the associated material collected from Liaoning Province. This is the first record of this genus in China. The Chinese species is distinctly smaller than the Japanese E. nozakii at all stages, which can be separated from congeners by the presence of hind tibial comb and the absence of basal strong seta on the gonostylus in the male, some differences are also found in the immature stage, which suggest an independent new species rather than the true E. nozakii. Detailed differences are compared among similar taxa from Japan, Russian Far East and China. Pupal exuviae collected from Fujian and Yunnan Provinces were also examined, which can be separated from the above species by the short male genital sac. Because of few different characters at the immature stage among these similar taxa from a wide range, the possible high diversity within this genus is suspected. Based on the current knowledge, the generic diagnosis is emended.

Abstract:Among the wide range of personal and contextual variables that may be associated with difficulties in students’ access to higher education (HE), academic expectations will be the focus of this study. Academic expectations represent what students hope to accomplish and achieve in their academic life. The sample was formed by 372 first-year Higher Education students, of both sexes, and with ages ranging from 17 to 57 years old. These students completed the Academic Perceptions Questionnaire (QPA), which assesses seven dimensions of academic expectations. Data analysis considers students´ gender, scientific domain of studies (social sciences and humanities, science and technology) and the levels of parental education (parents concluded or not HE studies). Results suggest more differentiation of academic expectations in function of students´ gender and parents´ educational level. This communication presents and discusses these results, and possible justifications and implications.Keywords: Higher Education, Academic Expectations, Gender, Adaptation to Higher EducationResumo:De entre o amplo conjunto de variáveis pessoais e contextuais que poderão estar associadas às dificuldades sentidas pelos estudantes ao ingressarem no ensino superior (ES), as expectativas académicas serão o foco deste estudo. As expectativas académicas representam aquilo que o estudante espera concretizar no decurso da sua vida académica. Este estudo considera uma amostra de 372 estudantes do primeiro ano do Ensino Superior, de ambos os géneros e com idades entre os 17 e os 57 anos. Estes estudantes preencheram o Questionário de Perceções Académicas (QPA), avaliando sete dimensões das expectativas académicas. Os resultados foram analisados considerando o género, a área científica (ciências sociais e humanas; ciências e tecnologias) e se algum dos pais concluiu o ES. As análises sugerem maior diferenciação do nível de expectativas em função do género dos estudantes e se os pais frequentaram ou não o ES. Nesta comunicação apresentam-se e discutem-se estes resultados, adiantando potenciais justificações e implicações.Palavras-chave: Ensino Superior, Expectativas académicas, Género, Adaptação ao Ensino Superior.

The Russian Far East

Based on a long-term introduction study of the species native to the Russian Far East region, a representative collection was collected, including a wide range of ecological groups. On the basis of the conducted research, the peculiarities of the preservation of individual species in the collection fund (the ability to persist in culture for a long time, vegetative renewal, self-seeding) are revealed. It is noted that for a number of species, in addition to active vegetative overgrowth, mass self-seeding is also noted. Despite the prospects of such species in the introduction work, they can pose a potential threat to invasion. That is why only those species that are not characterized by regular and mass self-seeding are recommended for use in urban landscaping.

The paper analyses content on socio-political topics published in contemporary Russian sociological journals: “Sociological Studies”, “Sociological Journal”, “Siberian Socium” and “Social Sciences and Humanities. Domestic and Foreign Literature. Series 11. Sociology”. The publications that were the subject of our interest were predominantly under the heading of political sociology and/or in thematically similar sections. Among the most discussed topics in the pages of the journals are the following: the domestic political agenda, primarily related to the manifestation of protest and civic activism of Russians; the role of individual political actors or institutions (state, Russian President, elite, youth, etc) in the socio-political transformations in the country; problems and outcomes of post-Soviet transformations; foreign policy issues (confron- ∗ Yadova Maiya, Institute of information for social sciences of the Russian academy of sciences (Moscow, Russia), e-mail: [email protected] Political science (RU), 2021, N 4 305 tation between Russia and Western countries, threats to national security), sociopolitical structure of other world powers. A small proportion of the studies in this segment focus on new concepts and theoretical and methodological approaches in political sociology, or on socio-political phenomena that have not yet been sufficiently explored. The thematic repertoire of journals depends on their genre peculiarity. General sociology journals are characterised by coverage of a wide range of political issues. In the journal “Siberian Socium”, as expected, there is a prevalence of works with a regional focus, but there are also some more general works. Abstract journal “Sociology”, due to its specificity, is primarily represented by secondary information and analytical materials (abstracts, literature reviews, book reviews), which as a rule are based on foreign-language sources of scientific literature.

Biological safety acquires a national scale, affecting a wide range of issues, including the fundamentals of the sustainable economic development of the state and, in particular, of the Russian Far East. This study was conducted as part of the implementation of the Integrated Basic Research Program «Far East», adopted by the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (FEB RAS) for 2018-2020. Objective: analysis of the main epidemiological and epizootic trends in the countries of the Asia-Pacific region and the assessment of the concept of biological safety as the basis for the sustainable development of the Far Eastern region of the Russian Federation. Increasing the level of biosafety and protection from the threats of dangerous infectious diseases in the DFO can be achieved, among other things, by forming regional programs of basic and applied research on current problems of epidemiology, medical microbiology, genetics and molecular biology of bacteria.
