Publication of scientific journals in the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences in 2001–2010

The publication of scientific journals performs a number of functions, including that of state importance, which, in turn, embrace the country image formation and determination of its place on the international arena by demonstrating the level of scientific and economic potential development of the State. Therefore, the process of publishing and studying scientific journals is an actual task. This article considers the publication of scientific journals in SB RAS in the period of 2001–2010 thereby clarifying and complementing to the picture of the regional and all-Russian scientific book publishing. The source base is representative as, based on the current archives of the Siberian enterprise “Science” RAS (printing house No. 4) and the Siberian publishing company “Nauka” of RAS, the analysis of normative-legislative documents, prepared by the Presidium of SB RAS and the Scientific-Publishing Council of SB RAS, regulating organizational and financial aspects of the Branch activities for the publication of scientific journals in the period under study, has been made. Besides, all issues of the weekly newspaper SB RAS “Science in Siberia” for the period of 2001– 2010, 24 scientific journals published by the Publishing House of SB RAS (ISO RAS), which founder was SB RAS together with institutes, as well as scientific journals published in scientific institutes and institutions of SB RAS, universities, private publishing houses have been viewed. The role of the Scientific-Publishing Council of SB RAS (INSO SB RAS) as a permanent advisory body of SB RAS Presidium, which formed and implemented into practice the strategic tasks of publishing, is presented. The discrepant role of English-language versions of journals, which, on the one hand, contribute to the entry of Russian science on the international arena and its integration into the global science, present its results to the world community, forming a positive image of the country, on the other hand, demand considerable labor and financial expenses, is disclosed. The obtained data allow revealing and characterizing the basic structural divisions of SB RAS publishing and printing base for issuing scientific journals (Publishing House of SB RAS, publishing houses of scientific centers, institutes and institutions of SB RAS, universities), and composing the list of private publishing houses, attracted by the Branch for these objectives.

The apportionment of citations: a scientometric analysis of Lewontin 1972.

‘The apportionment of human diversity’ (1972) is the most highly cited research article published by geneticist Richard Lewontin in his career. This study's primary result—that most genetic diversity in humans can be accounted for by within-population differences, not between-population differences—along with Lewontin's outspoken, politically charged interpretations thereof, has become foundational to the scientific and cultural discourse pertaining to human genetic variation. The article has an unusual bibliometric trajectory in that it is much more salient in the bibliographic record today compared to the first 20 years after its publication. Here, we highlight four factors that may have played a role in shaping the paper's fame: (i) citations in influential publications across several disciplines; (ii) Lewontin's own popular books and media appearances; (iii) the renaissance of population genetics research of the early 1990s; and (iv) the serendipitous collision of scientific progress, influential books and papers, and heated controversies around the year 1994. We conclude with an analysis of Twitter data to characterize the communities and conversations that continue to keep this study at the centre of discussions about race and genetics, prompting new challenges for scientists who have inherited Lewontin's legacy.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Celebrating 50 years since Lewontin's apportionment of human diversity’.

Urgency Of Love Education "Reading Of The Hadith Banning Adultery" (The Story Of The Dialogue Between The Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) And A Young Man)

Adultery is a great sin after the shirk of Allah Swt. Adultery in addition to being threatened with severe punishment and other punishments in the realm of barzah and mahsyar, will also have a very negative impact on community life. The article, which is excerpted from the reading and analysis of the prohibition of adultery, in which there is a dialogical between the Prophet Muhammad and a young man, aims to inform the reader that how urgent the model of education based on love. Love education with several derivative models such as education: tenderness, familiarity, mutual respect between teachers and students. The method taken in the writing is the study of literature, considering articles about hadith, then the author looks for references, scientific books that are in accordance with the topic of discussion. Next look for interpretive books, especially those that interpret the content of the hadith banning adultery. Dai sources, quotations, as well as scientific books, are further analyzed well step by step. The results of the analysis of the reading of the hadith prohibition of adultery can be explained: The Prophet gave nasihat with tenderness, full of empathy, love and intimacy. The dialogue between the prophet and the young man who asked for adultery was warm, fluid, in contrast to when the young man was near (among) the companions. This phenomenon also implies the basic essence of education for mankind. From the results of the dialogue, finally the young man who used to have a very high sexual libido and always wanted to commit adultery, realized himself full of awareness and sincerely left adultery, condemned adultery and did not want to glance at it. Completely. The analysis of the reading of the hadith banning adultery, inspires us how sharp and successfully the prophet provided love education with very optimal results. Evidently the young man who was sexually very high and wanted adultery, turned one hundred and eighty degrees, sincerely renounced adultery

Plant and bird phenology and plant occurrence from 1851 to 2020 (non-continuous) in Thoreau's Concord, Massachusetts.

Concord, Massachusetts, USA has served as an active location for phenological observations since philosopher and naturalist Henry David Thoreau began recording plant and animal occurrence and phenology in 1851. Since that time, numerous naturalists, scientists, and researchers have continued this tradition, creating an invaluable time series of 758 species in a single location. In total, 13,441 phenological records, spanning 118 years, now exist, with observations of many species ongoing. Relative abundance data for an additional 200 plant species is also provided. Thoreau's published journals and records in Special Collections libraries at the Concord Free Public Library, Harvard University, Peabody Essex Museum, and Morgan Library and Museum provide insight into his methods of routinely walking around Walden Pond, through natural areas, and within the town of Concord, seeking the first leaf or flower on plants, seasonal observations of migratory birds, and fruit maturation times. Several amateur naturalists, and most recently the present research group, have followed this method of regularly searching Concord for the earliest signs of seasonal events, visiting many of the same locations including Walden Pond, the site made famous by Thoreau. While Thoreau's observations were initially made out of a curious desire to document the natural world, these data have led to dozens to contemporary studies, addressing timely issues such as climate change, conservation, ecology, and invasive species. This time series of data, initiated by Thoreau and continued by others, has resulted in dozens of peer-reviewed publications, a popular science book, and numerous educational and outreach opportunities. These data grow increasingly valuable with time and as new and creative studies are undertaken with Thoreau's historic records. No copyright restrictions apply to the use of this data set other than citing this publication.

Sharia Magashid in the Perspective of Corporate Zakat

This study aims to determine the role of sharia magashid in the perspective of corporate zakat, including contemporary ijtihad and the expansion of property entities that need to be issued zakat. Corporate zakat is usually analogous to trade donations, this is in accordance with the opinion of the global Zakat Conference, and is based on the opinion of scholars (Ridlo, 2007, regarding performance) Companies should produce zakat, because the company's presence is as a legal institution or what people think. Therefore, between individuals, after that, there are lending transactions, selling, correlating with outside parties, and also undergoing cooperation. all roles and the results of the conclusions are enjoyed in the same way, including the role of Allah SWT in the zakat arrangement (Reza, 2012). The methodology used in this research is a descriptive qualitative model. The research with this model begins with the steps of collecting primary information, making descriptions, systematically compiling all the data/information and presenting the discussion and analysis in the form of narrative descriptions. This research focuses on literature study, in which the research process prioritizes library data. Or in other terms it is called library research. While library research itself is a research activity that prioritizes data mining by reviewing various literatures such as scientific books, national journal articles.

Identity Politics and Inter-Religious Relations: Analysing the 2020 Election in Manado City

The 2020 Pilkada (pemilihan kepala daerah) in Manado City has had a lot of influence on the dynamics of society, one of which is the presence of religion-based identity politics. Political contestation by utilizing religious identity occurs because religion can become the basis of voice. But its impact on interfaith relations has been lack of attention or neglected. The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of religion-based identity politics that occurred in the Pilkada of Manado City on the relationship between Christianity and Islam. This research provides another perspective on politics in Manado City in the academic world and practically for the government and related institutions. This study used a descriptive qualitative method with a literature study, in which observations and literature studies were carried out. In this literature study, researchers used a variety of scientific writings, journal articles, books, newspapers and online news that are related to research. When the political battle began, the pilkada participants began to reveal their religious identity in the public sphere. This invites various reaction from the society to see the participants from their religious identity. Relations in society began to be disturbed when political talks were always side by side with religion. So what happens is that people support their candidates because of religion. This situation is considered to disturb inter-religious harmony in Manado City, especially Christianity and Islam.

Research on the enterprise online marketing mode based on data mining

With the development and popularity of mobile networks, online shopping has gradually become a trend. For enterprises, the traditional marketing mode has been difficult to play an effective role when facing the emerging online shopping mode. This study aims to improve the revenue benefits of online shopping. This paper first introduces the traditional marketing mode and then selects the data mining model used for consumption preference segmentation to build an online marketing mode. An example analysis was conducted on a book sales company and a real estate company. The results showed that more users in this community preferred five types of books, and the percentages from high to low were teaching and learning materials, modern novels, popular science books, historical literature, and classical novels; more customers preferred online platforms among the channels for collecting information on home purchase. No matter it was the book sales company or the real estate company, compared with no fluctuation in the company’s turnover under the traditional marketing mode, the turnover of the company increased month by month after adopting the online marketing mode.

Merdeka Belajar Policy as a Strategy to Improve Quality of Education

Currently, national education does not provide opportunities for educators and students to jointly develop students' potential and abilities. Quality education is education that has had careful planning to improve students' ability by freeing students from all forms of restraints. The quality of national education is highly dependent on the policies that support it. Nadiem Makarim created a new platform, namely Merdeka Belajar, with the latest policies aimed at changing education for the better, improving the quality of human resources in learning, and easing the burden that has been carried so far. The method used in this research is the library method. Sources of data are policies and literature related to Merdeka Belajar as a strategy to improve the quality of education. Related literature includes scientific books, journals, and articles. Analysis and interpretation of the literature through the editing process, theme classification, and meaning. The results showed that the Merdeka Belajar policy could increase students' potential, free teachers to innovate, open up school information, and increase community satisfaction with school performance.

Why Electric Cars Are Struggling to Break through the Market—Today and Probably in the Future

Purpose: In the context of global overheating (belittling it as “climate change”), the entire mobility sector, which also includes private individual transport, must make its contribution to decarbonization (goal: 0-CO2 emissions). Politicians, against their better judgment, chose e-mobility as the only conceivable solution and finally decided on it and are now surprised that many drivers cannot, do not want to and perhaps will not opt for this type of technology. Design/methodology/approach: The aim was to briefly examine why e-cars in Germany are falling short of the sales figures targeted by politics and why the majority of drivers are obviously only motivated to a very limited extent to switch to pure e-cars. Findings: Over the years, German politics had set very ambitious goals for the switch to the supposed/alleged 0-CO2 technology of e-mobility. The changeover is only comparatively slow; politicians blame the drivers and at the same time are relatively uninterested in the reasons. The drivers feel completely forgotten during the typical use of its cars, expressly also for long holiday trips, which is proven beyond a doubt by a self-conducted calculation based on various examples. Affected countries: The situation described here, which is largely based on Germany, should be relatively easy to transfer to most EU countries because the situation there is comparable or at least similar.Research/Future/Practical Implications: E-cars will certainly play a significant role in the future. It is possible that the way cars are used, or by their owners, will (have to) change. Perhaps other types of energy or drive systems such as hydrogen H2 and SynFuels will play a much stronger role, which neither the politicians and journalists responsible today want to see, nor what many car manufacturers and suppliers, nor manufacturers of infrastructures are prepared. Originality/value: Currently there are practically no scientific books on the use or rejection of e-mobility. Therefore, only current surveys, market quantities and obvious behaviors of users and challenges can be described here.

Students’ Use of Translation Techniques: A Case of the 4th Semester Students of Universitas Peradaban

English is a medium of international communication and it is a bridge to communicate among people with different languages and cultures. Communication has the goal of delivering the message from one to another. It is essential that in mastering the translation lesson for the students to understand about the English text even both of an article or a book of science. This research aims to know the translation techniques applied by 4th-semester students at Peradaban University in translating final test text. This is qualitative research with a qualitative descriptive approach. The object of the research is 4th-semester students’ of Peradaban University. The data were analyzed by using translation techniques proposed by Molina and Albir. The analysis reveals that the most translation found was calque with 940 occurrences (62,37%), literal translation with 371 occurrences (20,90%), reduction with 96 occurrences (6,23%), and the last borrowing with 158 occurrences (10,48%). Based on the research result it can be concluded that students’ knowledge of translation techniques is very limited. In another word, in translating process they must master translation techniques to translate certain text, and know translation techniques to minimize translation errors in the translation product. This research will probably give some literature about the translation techniques that are applied in university students which can be applied by another researcher to conduct other research with another point of view. Also, for the lecturers it gives translation techniques materials with various techniques proposed by some experts.

Role of Ayurveda in Public Health: A Critical Review

The healthcare system in India and Nepal has various indigenous systems like Ayurveda, Yoga, naturopathy, Siddha, Unani, and Homeopathy, which are widely accepted and practiced parallel to allopathy. In both countries, a large section of the population belonging to different strata of society practices these traditional medicine systems to improve their health. Being an ancient holistic system of medicine, Ayurveda deals with each individual and at the community level in its entirety. The social impact of ill health is increasing, with some diseases affecting the health of individuals and that of a nation's economy with their increasing healthcare costs. The Ayurvedic system of medicine has its advantages: it also fulfills the social health demands. One of the most vital and unique aspects of Ayurvedic medicine is Swastavritta, or health promotion. Ayurveda emphasizes two points, i.e., how to keep a healthy person healthy & how to prevent the patient's illness, and public health also has similar objectives to prevent diseases, cure diseases, and longevity by improving the quality of life of the individuals. Many theories related to public health, such as infectious diseases, immunity, nutrition, etc., have been described in the classical texts of Ayurveda. Various texts associated with Ayurveda, relevant modern medical science books, research/review articles, and websites have been used as source materials for this study. The aim of Ayurveda and Public Health is mainly the same. In this growing world, most diseases are related to daily lifestyle, and these diseases can be prevented by following the principles of Ayurveda, and if anyone suffers from an illness, then Ayurveda will also help get rid of these diseases. Ayurveda has the potential to improve the worsening global health status, and it also would be one of the best options to promote public health.

The value and distinctiveness of awe in science communication: comparing the incidence and content of ‘awesome’ representations in science and non-science picture books

ABSTRACT The emotions most valued by a culture tend to be depicted more often, and more saliently, in their cultural products than those that are not. The content of such representations will also vary in relation to the particular mandates (e.g. beliefs, values, norms) of those cultural spaces. In the present research, we conducted a study in three sections that compared systematically the representations of awe in sixty picture book biographies of scientists (n = 60) and sixty picture book biographies of non-scientists (n = 60). The first two sections revealed that the frequency and centrality of awe-related content in the images and text of these materials was significantly higher for the former book type. The third section likewise uncovered differences in the representation of the situations where awe is experienced, as well as the characteristics of characters portrayed as experiencing this emotion between and within the two types of picture books. Together, these findings show that awe is an especially valued emotion in the culture of science communication and that the representation of this affective category in this domain is distinct to how it is represented in other spaces.

Persimmon (Diospyros Kaki) Leaves Extract (PLE): A Potential Drug for Eye-Related diseases

Persimmon (Diospyros kaki) leaves have been used as a traditional or local medicine for multiple diseases in different eastern countries (Japan, Korea, India, and China) for centuries. In the recent past, several studies have used persimmon leaves extract (PLE) against different eye-related diseases. In this review, we discussed the ethnopharmacological use, therapeutic potentials and future opportunities for research using PLE for different ocular disorders based on the latest research. The pieces of information regarding PLE were collected using Pubmed, ACS, Elsevier, EMBASE, Web of Science, CNKI and different books. It can be concluded from this review that PLE probably have therapeutic potential against inflammation and oxidative stress induced disorders like dry eye disease (DED), corneal neurovascularization (CoNV), glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy (DR), and edema. However, further investigations are required to discover exact biological compounds involved in the pharmacological effects against the aforementioned diseases. Furthermore, clinical trials are needed to be performed before integrating PLE for medicinal use

Язык сногадательных книг XVIII века — язык массовой литературы

The article examines the linguistic features of 18th century fortune-telling books published in Moscow and St. Petersburg and representing “mass literature” at the time of the emergence of the book market and the rapid development of secular (civil) book printing in Russia. The vocabulary of dream books, as a rule, does not fall into the field of study of linguists and is not recorded in the academic dictionaries of the 18th century, although it reflects the main processes taking place in the Russian literary language of this time, and often more vividly and more clearly: for example, active word creation, caused by tracing foreign words and mastering borrowings, and the pragmatic setting of these publications to a specific addressee. In the traditions of the enlightened 18th century, the language of dream books claims to be “intellectually”: they actively use scientific terminology, book words and expressions, new words are created, including neo-Slavicisms. At the same time, there are also numerous colloquial, folklore units. The article notes that in the texts of enigmatic books, these multi-style elements do not enter into a “stylistic conflict”, that the pragmatic status of such publications (commercial product in the book market) justifies their coexistence.

Scientists Under Surveillance: The FBI Files—edited by JPat Brown, B. C. D. Lipton, and Michael Morisy (Cambridge, MA, USA: The MIT Press, 2019, 413 + xix pp.)

<bold xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">The volume under</b> review is a selection of declassified FBI documents, reproduced in facsimile, from the Cold War era files of 16 people (15 men and one woman) described as scientists. The editors do not explain their criteria for the choice of subjects. One, Mikhail Kalashnikov, was a Russian soldier who invented a durable automatic assault rifle, the popular AK-47. It is a stretch to call that science. Moreover, Kalashnikov never set foot in the United States. (A recently erected monument to him in Moscow had to be fixed since it showed him toting a German submachine gun. At least there was no mob, yanking it off its pedestal amidst howls denouncing Mikhail Timofeyevich’s “white privilege” or “toxic masculinity.”) Isaac Asimov had a degree in science (he and my mother were classmates at Brooklyn College) and was a professor of biochemistry but is famous as a popular writer of science fiction and books on science for the layman. Alfred Kinsey was an enthusiastic, hands-on researcher of male sexuality: more a sociologist than a hard scientist, perhaps. Timothy Leary did scientific research but is better known as an apostle of the counterculture whose invitation to take LSD, “turn on, tune in, and drop out” some of you may remember. Though they say that if you remember the 1960s you were not there. The book, the editors note, is a companion volume to a similar assemblage of FBI files on famous writers that they published with the same MIT series.

Role of Dexamethasone and Methylprednisolone Corticosteroids in Coronavirus Disease 2019 Hospitalized Patients: A Review.

The WHO announced coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) as a pandemic disease globally on March 11, 2020, after it emerged in China. The emergence of COVID-19 has lasted over a year, and despite promising vaccine reports that have been produced, we still have a long way to go until such remedies are accessible to everyone. The immunomodulatory strategy has been kept at the top priority for the research agenda for COVID-19. Corticosteroids have been used to modulate the immune response in a wide range of diseases for the last 70 years. These drugs have been shown to avoid and reduce inflammation in tissues and the bloodstream through non-genomic and genomic effects. Now, the use of corticosteroids increased the chance of survival and relief by combating the viral strong inflammatory impacts and has moved to the forefront in the management of patients seeking supplemental oxygen. The goal of this review is to illuminate dexamethasone and methylprednisolone, i.e., in terms of their chemical and physical properties, role in COVID-19 patients suffering from pneumonia, the proposed mode of action in COVID-19, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, clinical outcomes in immunocompromised populations with COVID-19, interaction with other drugs, and contradiction to explore the trends and perspectives for future research. Literature was searched from scientific databases such as Science Direct, Wiley, Springer, PubMed, and books for the preparation of this review. The RECOVERY trial, a massive, multidisciplinary, randomized, and open-label trial, is mainly accountable for recommendations over the usage of corticosteroids in COVID-19 patients. The corticosteroids such as dexamethasone and methylprednisolone in the form of medication have anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and anti-allergic characteristics, including the ability to inhibit the immune system. These drugs are also recommended for treating symptoms of multiple ailments such as rheumatic and autoimmune diseases, leukemia, multiple myeloma, and Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma along with other drugs. Toxicology studies proved them safe usually at low dosage via oral or other routes.

Cytotoxic Activity of Endophytic Fungus against HeLa Cells (Cervical Cancer Cells): A Article Review

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in every country worldwide. It has been growing rapidly every year. One type of cancer is cervical cancer. Cervical cancer fourth rank suffered in women worldwide after endometrial, colorectal, and breast cancer. This review article aims to summarize and describe several research reports of endophytic fungi and their cytotoxic activity against HeLa cells (cervical cancer cells). This article review was made by conducting a literature study. Literature is collected from various sources such as official pharmaceutical scientific books, national and international journals published in the last twenty years. Endophytic fungi play an important role in providing a constant supply of anticancer with minimal side effects and high target specificity at an affordable cost.Therefore, it is necessary to explore and utilize the compounds contained in endophytic fungi. Further research on endophytic fungi needs to be done to find new drug candidates to fight deadly diseases in humans such as cervical cancer.&#x0D; &#x0D;

Mothers’ and Fathers’ Science-Related Talk With Daughters and Sons While Reading Life and Physical Science Books

IntroductionIn prior studies conducted in the United States, parents’ gender-differentiated encouragement of science predicted children’s later science motivation. Most of this research has focused on older children or teens and only looked at the impact of mothers. However, accumulating evidence suggests that gender-differentiated encouragement of science interest may begin in early childhood. Moreover, fathers may be more likely than mothers to treat sons and daughters differently in science-learning contexts.MethodsWe examined 50 United States families with both a mother and a father (82% White; 98% with at least some college education) and either a daughter or a son (48–83 months; M = 62, SD = 9). On separate visits, each parent reads two books with their child. One was about life science and the other was about physical science. We coded parents’ science-related talk during these interactions.Results and ConclusionIn contrast to our predictions, parents used higher proportions of science talk with daughters than sons, including higher average rates of overall science talk and specific types of science talk (e.g., science explanations, science-related personal connections, and science-learning talk). Moreover, most of the child gender effects occurred while reading the physical science books. Book topic and parent gender moderated some additional patterns. Book reading is discussed as a potential context for mitigating socialization experiences that traditionally disfavor girls’ interest in physical science.

Impact of Technological Advancements on The Establishment of Characteristics of Children

The progress of information systems and technology today is indeed so rapid. This of course has an impact on various orders of life, including the characteristics of a child. In completing this research, the researcher used research methods with qualitative and quantitative approaches. In the process of finding information the researcher uses the method; Observation, and study of literature from various sources such as scientific journals and books. This study analyzes the impact of technological advances on the formation of children's character. As for the results, most children have characteristics that are not good. In addition, technology has a good side, especially in terms of learning, namely it can create effectiveness in learning. However, the use of gadgets outside of class hours needs to be a concern for educators, especially parents.

Scientometric analysis of smart tourism using CiteSpace

This scientific article is devoted to the scientometric analysis of one of the new and relevant areas in economics – smart tourism, which has become widespread in the last 10-12 years. The research was conducted based on the using of materials from the Web of Knowledge database (Web of Science Core Collection: Science Citation Index Expanded, Social Science Citation Index, Arts and Humanities Citation Index Conference Proceedings Citation Index – Science, Conference Proceedings Citation Index – Social Science and Humanities Book Citation Index – Science, Book Citation Index – Social Science and Humanities, Emerging Sources Citation Index) for 2008-2022, which was later uploaded to CiteSpace 5.8.R3 to implement the tasks set in the research article: analysis of co-citations, including by authors; cluster analysis by keywords. It should be noted that the authors presented a capacious description of the WoS database array itself: from the perspective of the country component, institutes / universities / educational institutions and funding organizations, key sections, citation, types of documents, research area, Web of Science indexes / categories, etc. Also given a brief description of the authors whose work in the field of smart tourism is the most cited today. In general, it should be noted that the overall result of the search query «Smart Tourism» amounted to 724 documents, which were further used in the «Plain Text» format for scientometric analysis, which made it possible to determine the current and prospective areas of research in the field of smartification of tourism services, as well as build networks that visualize them visually. The author’s methodology for conducting scientometric analysis was also developed, starting from the moment the data array was received, and ending with the final visualization, which is universal, adaptive and complex, and can be used by any researcher when conducting a scientometric analysis of this kind in any of the branches of science, including in tourism.
