In July 2019, I received information about the discovery of an estampage of an inscription made in Old Turkic Runic Writing in the fond “Documents. Photo documents” of the Kyakhta Museum of Local Lore of Academician V. A. Obruchev. Judging on several obtained photographs, it has been tentatively identified as To?uquq/Tonyuquq Inscription. It is an epigraphic text on a monument of the period of the so-called Second Eastern Turkic Qaghanate, great nomadic empire that existed in Inner Asia in 682–744 A. D. The monument was discovered in 1897 and has since been repeatedly studied, copied and translated. I could find no information on which of the copies could have been found in Kyakhta. The opportunity to get acquainted with the find in situ came only in December 2019, and it became apparent that this copy has been previously unknown to the academic community. The subsequent work followed two directions. Firstly, it was necessary to establish the origin of the copy, its authorship, dating, and circumstances surrounding its appearance in the collections of the Kyakhta Museum of Local Lore. Secondly, it was necessary to work directly with the discovered copy for the purpose of its comparison with others known copies and, if possible, of identifying differences in copying any of the text fragments. As a result, it has been understood that the copy was made by Chinese scientists and then somehow transferred to St. Petersburg, wherefrom W. Kotwicz sent it to Kyakhta in April 1913 as a supplement to W. Radloff’s “Atlas of Antiquities of Mongolia.” Incidentally, it has been discovered that at least one of the similar copies of the To?uquq/Tonyuquq Inscription, stored today in the fonds of the Institute of Oriental Manuscripts (IOM) of the Russian Academy of Sciences, must be contemporary to the one found in Kyakhta. A careful analysis of the copy itself — eight estampages corresponding to the eight sides of the To?uquq/Tonyuquq Inscription (four sides on two stelae) — has allowed us to conclude that individual fragments differ from the corresponding ones on earliest copies made in 1898 in the course of the Orkhon expedition work, as well as from those made in 1909 in the field research of G. J. Ramstedt. We have also made measurements and description of these estampages.

Еще в 2009 г. удалось выявить в фонде Музея антропологии и этнографии (Кунсткамеры) РАН ряд буддийских экспонатов Кунсткамеры XVIII в. Письма Миллера к Лубсан-тайше и ламе Дзоржия, опубликованные А.Х. Элертом, консультация XXIV Пандито Хамбо-ламы Аюшеева и инструкции Миллера переводчику Илье Яхонтову, хранящиеся в Санкт-Петербургском филиале архива АН, позволили прояснить точную дату приобретения артефактов и имя первособирателя Дамба-Даржа (Даржай) Заяева, ставшего в 1764 г. I Пандито Хамбо-ламой. Автор статьи определил особенности художественного стиля, получившие дальнейшее развитие в бурятской живописи. Проведены параллели в композиции, стиле, характерных деталях изображения со скульптурой, выполненной в долоннорском стиле. Также описан еще один предмет коллекции небольшая буддийская танка, подаренная в 1783 г. Академии наук III Пандито Хамбо-ламой Лубсан-Жимба Ахалдаевым. Статья рассказывает об истории этой танки, а также ее стилистических особенностях, колорите, деталях изображения, композиции. Back in 2009, it was possible to identify a number of Buddhist exhibits of the 18th century Kunstkamera at the fund of the Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography (Kunstkamera) of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Mllers letters to Lubsan Taisha and Lama Dzorzhia published by A.Kh. Elert, consultation of the XXIV Pandito Khambo-Lama Ayusheev and Mllers instructions to the translator Ilya Yakhontov, stored in the St. Petersburg branch of the Academy of Sciencess archive made it possible to clarify the exact date of acquisition of the artifacts and the name of the first selector Damba-Darzha (Darzhai) Zayaev, who became I Pandito Khambo-lama in 1764. The author of the article identified the features of the artistic style that were further developed in Buryat painting. He saw parallels in composition, style, characteristic details of the image with a sculpture made in the Dolonnor style. Another collection item is also described a small Buddhist icon, donated to the Academy of Sciences by III Pandito Khambo-Lama Lubsan-Zhimba Akhaldaev in 1783. The article tells about the history of this Thangka, as well as its stylistic features, color, details of the image, composition.

The article is devoted to the study of intra-firm labor mobility and the opportunities for updating the composition of research personnel, including managers. The information base was the data from the questionnaire survey of the personnel of the institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences, carried out by the Institute of Socio-Economic Studies of Population RAS in 2015. The age limit set for heads of institutions, the established standards for young research fellows and other measures have changed the mechanism of labor mobility. Changes in the position of researchers of different categories have been analyzed with the account of the factors facilitating career growth or, on the contrary, complicating it. It turned out that junior researchers and top-management were the most mobile categories in the personnel hierarchy. The summary picture of the career advancement to top management, on the one hand, showed its availability for employees with different starting opportunities, and on the other hand, provided insight into the personnel reserves of candidates for the position of director and deputy director for research. Career attitudes were correlated with the assessment of the reality of their implementation. The process of accelerated rejuvenation of the RAS personnel can be described as controversial, especially in connection with the large-scale changes in the top management. The internal potential of candidates for director’s post was also investigated. According to the study, it is not high enough, and the chances of a person from the outside are significant. It looks like normalization of the intra-firm mobility of researchers, including rotation of managerial personnel, is possible not so much by administrative regulation, as through the all-round development of the scientific environment in which there is a qualitative professional growth of scientific personnel.

The microcirculation was studied in one-kidney, one-clip renal hypertensive rats ( 1KG ) and uninephrectomized controls at 4-6 and 8-10 wk postoperation. Under chloralose-urethan anesthesia the gracilis muscle was transilluminated in situ with a light pipe. Measurements of arteriolar and capillary density and arteriolar diameter were made in three consecutive states: innervated, denervated, and vasodilated with nitroprusside. Arteriolar wall-to-lumen ratio was measured after vasodilation. At 4-6 wk vasoconstriction was significantly greater in 1KG and vasodilated arteriolar diameter was significantly smaller, partially because of an elevated wall-to-lumen ratio. Capillary density in 1KG was reduced in the innervated and denervated states compared with controls. At 8-10 wk in the 1KG , arteriolar vasoconstriction was no longer significantly elevated. However, the vasodilated arteriolar diameter was smaller, wall-to-lumen ratio had increased further, and rarefaction of arterioles and capillaries was present. Thus, with time, structural mechanisms for increasing vascular resistance were seen to displace the active mechanism of vasoconstriction.

The subject of this research is the historical role of Russian scientific community in studying the Arctic and Subarctic territories during the years of Great Patriotic War. The key goal consists in demonstrating the contribution of scholars to accumulation of scientific knowledge on the northern region in the context of solution of the priority government objective and establishment of scientific organizations on the European North of Russia in first half of the XX century. The main tasks of this research lie in reconstruction of the process of creation and activity of oil shale laboratory of the Base of Academy of Sciences of the Soviet Union on studying the North under the authority of Professor D. N. Kursanov, who dealt with the questions of utilization of solid fossil fuels of the Komi ASSR. This topic did not receive due coverage within the scientific literature. For solution of the set tasks, the author attracted the unpublished archival materials from the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Scientific Archive of the Federal Research Center “Komi Scientific Center of Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences” and National Archive of the Komi Republic; writings of the staff members of the indicated laboratory published based on the research results in 1940s, as well modern researchers of the depths of Russian North. The article explores the history of establishment of scientific department, development of scientific programs and plans, organization of interaction of academic community with the government and economic branches of the Komi ASSR. The main conclusions consists in the proof that the scientific-organizational activity of D. N. Kursanov led to conducting strategic research of defense designation on the problems of studying oil shale of the mineral deposit on Ayyva River, utilization of oil shale for motor fuel generation, and elaboration of new chemical products for defense industry. It is underlined that the high level of explorations and pilot surveys carried out by national scholars in these directions contributed to the development of new shale-chemical industrial sector of the country in the later years.

An excursion through the pages of the book by V. V. Ogryzko “Under the supervision of the Kremlin: a fairly battered, but survived Academy of Sciences” is given. The history of uneasy relations between the government and the Academy of Sciences can be traced from the first post-revolutionary years to the present day. The mostly detailed description relates to the efforts of the Soviet government to tame (“to Sovietize”) the Russian Academy of Sciences in the first post-revolutionary years. In his research, based on unique archival sources, the author operates with a large number of sources and a large number of activehistorical figures, from academics to employees of special services. It is noted that over the past hundred years, not only the Academy has changed, the methods of state influence on the academic community have changed, and the goal setting of the state has also changed. In the first decades, the Soviet government was faced with the task of introducing as many loyal communists as possible into the academic community, and after the collapse of the USSR, the task of “depriving” the Academy from material assets became firmly on the agenda. The author of the book – V. V. Ogryzko – comes to the conclusion that many discoveries andachievements of our scientists were made not thanks to the support of the state, but rather in spite of it.

This study describes three engravings in the book by Academician Johan Peter Falk, showing Udmurt women in traditional outfi ts. Falk headed one of the most important expeditions of the 18th century, sponsored by the Russian Academy of Sciences. According to the fi gure captions, the women are Votyak, Bashkir, and Mishar, respectively; but ethnographic data suggest that two of these attributions are wrong. On the basis of comparison of the women’s outfi ts to those drawn by members of other 18th-century expeditions and of late 19th to early 20th-century ethnographic sources, relating to the composition of outfi ts, their construction, decoration, and ornaments, all the three women are Udmurt. The “Votyak” outfi t matches that of the southern Udmurt, the allegedly Mishar woman is central Udmurt, and the one said to be Bashkir is northern Udmurt. The accuracy of detail allows us to specify not only the ethnicity of the women, but their social status as well. The so-called “Votyak” and “Bashkir” outfi ts are those worn by married women, and that of the alleged “Mishar” is a girl’s dress. Generally, accurate representations, such as those illustrating the proceedings of the 18th-century expeditions from the Academy of Sciences, are a valuable and underexplored source of information.

Echo Questions

This paper examines Spanish echo questions, an understudied phenomenon even in extensively described languages such as English. In particular, it focuses on a very particular type of echo questions, such as those made in response to a previous yes/no question (e.g. –Did you buy {mumble}?; –Did I buy what?) and makes a detailed description, on the one hand, of inherent echo features, common across most languages, and, on the other, those language-specific. In particular, I argue that wh-in-situ is not the only possible option in Spanish EQs in order to get a proper, echo interpretation. In addition, I offer some evidence from Spanish data in favour of a particular syntactic structure underlying this sort of questions (Sobin 2010).
