Purpose. The article is aimed at a comprehensive description of progress in the studies of the metal compounds as the material for orthodox cross pendants found if Siberia and the Far East and produced in the late 16th – 19th centuries. To achieve the purpose, this article contains a historical survey of the studies devoted to the topic, outlines a set of relevant issues and objectives, and identifies most promising directions for further research. Results. There are few publications related to the composition analysis of the metal of staurographical collections, so the article reviews each of them. The historiographical analysis conducted allowed us to outline a set of relevant issues related to the study of cross pendants’ metal composition. All of the issues were divided into three stages determining the way of resolving them and three groups describing their relation to the task of the historical reality reconstruction: technical issues (e. g., forming a source base, inconsistency of the metal composition in the product body, comparability of results of the metal composition analysis performed with the use of different devices including those based on different physical principles), methodological issues (e. g., connection between the metal composition and phenomena, processes and events of the historical reality, integration of the metal composition analysis results into the general context of archaeological research, development of the chronological scale of alloys) and issues related to the historical reality reconstruction (e. g., determination of casting centers and workshops, classification of cross pendants by alloy composition while using non-ferrous scrap to manufacture cross pendants, identification of products manufactured from fully identical alloys, correlation between the metal composition of cross pendants and their morphological attributes, identification of vintage products, integration of the historical reality data obtained based on the composition analysis of the metal into other aspects of history and archaeology of the objects belonging to the period of the Russian development of Siberia and the Far East). Conclusion. Our summary of the history, issues and objectives of the composition analysis of the cross pendants metal compounds manufactured in Siberia and the Far East in the late 16th – 19th century has showed that there are conditions for full or partial resolving the issues listed above and subsequent enhancement of the information potential of the staurographical materials to reconstruct the historical reality of the period of the Russian development of the transUrals regions of Russia.

Phonological Contrasts

This article reviews the milestones in the formation of acoustic, musicological, and cultural attributes of tonal organization in indigenous traditions of jaw harp music across Northeastern Eurasia – as related to the timeline of its geographic distribution. Phonology of jaw harp playing is compared to singing and speaking in establishing traits specific to jaw harp prosody. Based on the theories of harmonic residue and harmonic templates, a new model of phonological classification of jaw harp articulations is put forward. Phonological contrasts between jaw harp articulations are determined by the configuration of harmonics. Their configuration depends on mechanical properties of the material of which jaw harp is made. Different constructions of jaw harp produce different types of spectral texture. The general timeline of human mastering of various manufacturing technologies most likely determines the timeline of the succession of specific textural types. According to the entirety of the known information, the emergence of pan-cultural authentic Eastern Eurasian jaw harp tradition can be dated by 7–5 thousand years ago – after the establishment of the institution of personal song and prior to the formation of modern language families of Siberia and the Far East. The first part of this article defines the terminology required for accurate identification of music works created within the framework of traditional timbre-oriented music and for its adequate description. The article presents the preliminary results of the study of the perception of jaw harp articulations by its indigenous performers.

Timely Treatment

The human parasitic disease Schistosomiasis is caused by the Schistosoma trematode flatworm that infects freshwaters in tropical regions of the world, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa, South America, and the Far-East. It has also been observed as an emerging disease in Europe, due to increased immigration. In addition to improved therapeutic strategies, it is imperative to develop novel, rapid, and sensitive diagnostic tests that can detect the Schistosoma parasite, allowing timely treatment. Present diagnosis is difficult and involves microscopy-based detection of Schistosoma eggs in the feces. In this context, we present the 3.22 Å resolution crystal structure of the circulating antigen Serine protease inhibitor from S. mansoni (SmSPI), and we describe it as a potential serodiagnostic marker. Moreover, we identify three potential immunoreactive epitopes using in silico-based epitope mapping methods. Here, we confirm effective immune sera reactivity of the recombinant antigen, suggesting the further investigation of the protein and/or its predicted epitopes as serodiagnostic Schistosomiasis biomarkers.

Synthetic Work

The article focuses on the need to consider classical medieval texts not only as sources of historical information, but also as author's works subject to a certain methodology and using a variety of historiographical technologies and ideological schemes. The specific subject of the study is the two main sources on the history of the Eastern and Western Khitans (“Khitan Guo Chi” / “History of the Khitan state” and “Liao Shi” / “History of the [dynasty] Liao”), who created the largest state structures in the pre-Mongol period. “Khian Guo Zhi” is more of a history of the Khitan ethnos, whereas “Liao Shi” is a history of the dynasty, i.e., of the state construction. As a result, we have the maximum possible penetration in those days into the two most important topics-the people as a geopolitical actor and the state as a civilizational-state structure. Their authors carried out impressive synthetic work to prove certain postulates. These are, strictly speaking, not scientific approaches, but ideological, existing, moreover, often in the form of Philistine fabrications. These sources raise a particularly significant problem of the origin of the Khitan, their dynasty, civilizational affiliation of the Khitan, the Khitan determination of the place in a nomadic world, the specifics of socio-economic and social system of the state of Liao, Khitan influence on the social development of the far East and East Asian regions. In them, the Chinese civilizational paradigm was applied to the fullest extent possible, the essential worldview settings of classical Chinese historiography are traced: Sino-centrism, sedentary centrism, Han-fan dichotomies and culture – nature. As a result, these works had a significant impact on the development of the two most common approaches to studying the history of Khitan, which are considered as classical barbarians who constantly attacked China and for this purpose created their own quasi-state, but under the influence of Chinese civilization “grew” to the level of the traditional dynasty.

The syntaxonomical survey of the alliance Caricion appendiculatae (Calamagrostietea langsdorffii, Calamagrostietalia langsdorffii) in the Northern Trans-Baikal area is presented. It consists of 2 associations, Cari­cetum appendiculatae Akhtyamov 1995 and Caricetum vesi­cato–appendiculatae Akhtyamov 1985, and Carex meyeriana–Carex appendiculata community. The first association consists of 4 subassociations and 3 variants, the second one comprises 2 subassociations and 2 va­riants. The 5 out of 6 subassociations are described anew. The results of syntaxonomical analysis are based upon 95 releves which are given in the paper. The successional relations between the subassociations and variants are reflected by a homologous variability within the proper associations. As a result of the syntaxonomical composition analysis, the presence of distinct relationships between the alliance communities in the Northern Trans-Baikal area and the Far East is revealed. The regional set of the Trans-Baikalian syntaxa differs from the Far-Eastern one in lower syntaxonomical diversity, also in the presence of several regional subassociations and variants which are absent in the Far East.

Atriums are commonly designed in big building complexes while developing big cities in the Far East. It is not clear what the fire safety provisions are; nor whether those installed systems would work as expected. Dynamic smoke exhaust systems used to be installed. Other fire protection systems such as drencher system and sprinkler systems might be required. If the design of the dynamic smoke exhaust systems does not comply with the prescriptive code, hot smoke tests are required to be carried out in site for evaluating their performance. The smoke layer interface height induced by an agreed design fire is commonly checked. Technical issues on the procedure of hot smoke tests will be discussed in this paper. Problems encountered in designing smoke exhaust systems in the Far East will be outlined. A practical case is taken as an example. Application of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in evaluating the performance of atrium smoke exhaust systems will also be discussed. CFD is now a common engineering tool for designing smoke management systems by investigating the potential fire and smoke hazard. A typical scenario of having a fire in an adjacent shopping mall is considered. Performance of the dynamic smoke exhaust system in the atrium will be simulated.

Professional Self

The article deals with the features of professional self-determination of schoolchildren in years 8–10 of Arctic and Russian Far East regions. The study revealed factors that influence the choice of future professions by schoolchildren; generalized schoolchildren’s ideas about the category of “profession” and its content; analyzed ideas of schoolchildren about their professional future; considered the interests of schoolchildren in building a successful career in the Arctic and Russian Far East regions. The results obtained showed that schoolchildren are more oriented towards higher education, and their chosen professions are in demand in the Arctic and Russian Far East regions where there is a deficit of qualified personnel. The students are optimistic about their professional future, and they also positively assess the opportunities of starting a career with Arctic and Far East companies. Every tenth pupil from Arctic regions and every fifth pupil from the Far East regions noted that they had planned professional implementation in these regions earlier, almost every third pupil was interested in it, but they are not sure that it suits them. The results of the research may be useful in planning themed career guidance activities aimed at involving young people in strategic regions of the country, and useful for career guidance specialists, educators, relevant authorities and researchers.
