Theoretical perspectives and conceptual approaches in biographical studies of culture and the arts
Biographical research is a viable and valuable approach across all scientific disciplines. Within the realm of Mongolian cultural and art studies, the examination of individuals who have played a historically significant role offers insight into the development of these fields during particular periods. Such an approach allows scholars to analyze underlying causes, contextual interrelations, and the influence of dominant ideologies, perspectives, and individual initiatives. In recent years, there has been an increasing societal demand for more comprehensive and multidimensional biographical studies. This paper seeks to provide an overview of the development of biographical research in the domains of culture and the arts. By exploring the theoretical underpinnings and conceptual orientations of biographical inquiry, the study aims to offer both scientific and practical contributions for future researchers. Accordingly, the paper outlines the trajectory and current state of biographical research within the scientific landscape of Mongolian society. In this study, the theoretical and methodological foundations of biographical research in the field of culture and the arts are examined. The biography of a historical individual is analyzed using a combination of hermeneutic methods, contextual historical documentation, content sampling, critical analysis, comparison, and synthesis. From this perspective, the study of biographies of prominent figures in the field of culture and the arts emphasizes the use of a new trend in biographical research known as personal history. This approach seeks to reconstruct the subject’s life as comprehensively and authentically as possible. While it may carry elements of individual subjectivity, it simultaneously encompasses the broader historical context of societal, cultural, artistic, and literary developments, thereby rendering it both innovative and significant in terms of academic and cultural value. It is also essential to examine the life and work of the individual in relation to the historical context in which they lived and created, taking into account the influence of both internal and external socio-cultural and environmental factors that shaped their personal and professional trajectory.

Driving Strategic Industries with Factors of Production: China’s Xinjiang and Mongolia’s Western Region
Xinjiang Autonomous Region of the People’s Republic of China (Xinjiang) has established an industrial structure focused on the heavy industry by taking the advantage of having vast natural resource reserves located within the region. This has become a vital base to the country for the development of petroleum, natural gas, coal, chemicals, fuel processing, non-ferrous metals, and non-metallic mineral products. However, Xinjiang has been facing inevitable challenges of embarking on industrial reforms and developing its competitive advantages largely because of the weakened primary industrial factors and the reinforced green development requirements. As for Mongolia’s Western Region, which borders Xinjiang, it has the advantages of natural resources, historical and cultural heritage, but it is still in the early stage of industrial development, relying on agricultural and raw material exports, and facing challenges such as a shortage of infrastructure and labor resources. First part of this paper, by taking the theory of factors of production, briefly explains how to create a competitive advantage within the industry sector and develop strategic industries, while the second part refers the current conditions of the Xinjiang’s industrial development, the challenges encountered, and the ways being used to resolve such challenges. Finally, the paper outlines some issues for the industrial development of Mongolia’s Western Region
The Cultural Dimension of Hybrid Warfare: The Case of Russia-Ukraine War
The armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine that began in 2022 represents a comprehensive manifestation of hybrid warfare, in which traditional military operations are combined with information warfare, cultural influence, and other multidimensional instruments. This article examines the mechanisms unfolding in the cultural and artistic spheres within the context of the conflict, including the use of symbolic letters such as “Z,” “V,” and “O” that have come to represent the war, propaganda disseminated through art, and the phenomenon of “cancel culture” directed against Russia. The study also explores the sociolinguistic meaning of newly emerged expressions in Russian and Ukrainian that have developed under the influence of the conflict. Drawing on recent research findings on the concept of hybrid warfare, the paper concludes that the cultural sphere has become an independent mechanism of political influence within hybrid warfare, deepening cultural polarization and confrontation in both countries’ domestic and external environments.

Isolation and functional characterization of root nodule-associated bacteria from the rare legume Chesniella macrantha in Mongolia
A total of 18 bacterial strains were isolated from the root nodules of Chesniella macrantha Cheng f. ex H.C.Fu, a very rare, subendemic, and relict plant species in Mongolia. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, the strains were assigned to four genera: Priestia (10 strains), Rhizobium (6 strains), Peribacillus (1 strain), and Neobacillus (1 strain). Ten strains exhibited 99.65–100% similarity to Priestia aryabhattai B8W22T or Priestia megaterium NBRC 15308T, while strains Gr2-1, Gr2-2, Gr2-3-1, Gr3-1, Gr3-2-1, and UN2-3 showed 99.78–100% similarity to Rhizobium mongolense subsp. mongolense USDA 1844T. Two strains, Gr2-4-1 and UN1-2, were most closely related to Peribacillus simplex NBRC 15720T (99.93–100%) and Neobacillus drentensis LMG 21831T (99.71%), respectively. Eight strains produced indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in LB medium supplemented with 5 mM L-tryptophan, and three exhibited phosphate solubilization activity. Six Priestia strains, Gr2-3, Gr2-4-2, Gr3-2, Gr3-3, Gr3-3-1, and UN1-3, showed high IAA production, whereas Priestia strains Gr2-3, Gr3-3, and UN2-5 solubilized phosphate on Pikovskaya’s agar, with a solubilization index (SI) of 2.16 ± 0.02 cm. Among all isolates, Rhizobium strain Gr3-2-1 was the most effective in promoting both root elongation and branching in C. macrantha plantlets, indicating its potential use in propagation and conservation of this endangered Mongolian legume
Ecological security and green development on the Mongolian plateau: A China–Mongolia collaborative response to climate change
The Mongolian Plateau plays a key role in the geopolitical and ecological structure of Northeast Asia. In recent years, the combined effects of climate change and human activities have intensified ecological risks in the region, especially land degradation and sandstorms, which have had significant impacts on both China and Mongolia. This paper reviews two decades of work by the authors’ team on the Mongolian Plateau, including research on pattern characterization, mechanism analysis, and optimization strategies related to land cover, ecosystem vulnerability, ecological-economic zoning, investment environment, industrial structure, and transport infrastructure. Building on this foundation, the paper identifies four major priorities for future cooperation: risk assessment and spatiotemporal evolution pattern of ecological security risk in the Mongolian Plateau under climate change, influencing factors and driving mechanism of ecological risks in the Mongolian Plateau, China-Mongolia joint construction plan for ecological security shield in the Mongolian Plateau, and green Development Model and Typical Demonstration of Mongolian Plateau. These future cooperation efforts aim to provide essential scientific and technological support for desertification control, land degradation prevention, sandstorm risk reduction, and the protection of biodiversity and ecosystem stability on the Mongolian Plateau. In addition, this study holds important scientific value for addressing global climate change, promoting sustainable development in transboundary regions, and mitigating large-scale ecological risks
Addressing desertification to achieve sustainable herding and grasslands
The present review paper outlines a series of efforts to identify and solve desertification and wind erosion issues with the aim of creating sustainable drylands. These efforts incorporate the following three key projects under the Japan-Mongolia partnership that were funded by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS): “Integrating Dryland Disaster Science,” “Mongolian Herding Vision 2050 for Adaptation to Climate and Social Changes,” and “Regional Assessment of Desertification Using Bioaerosols: A Novel Method.” Regional focus is placed on the Eurasian grasslands, specifically Mongolia. This paper highlights the importance of (1) understanding the global history of desertification as a consequence of agriculture and climate change on a ten-thousand-year time scale, (2) assessing the irreversible nature of desertification using satellite remote sensing on a continental scale, and (3) monitoring the real-time change in wind erosion and soil fertility using bioaerosols on a regional scale. The combination of research from the above-mentioned spatial and temporal scales will help elucidate the dynamics of desertification, strengthening desertification risk governance with the goal of sustainable land management, and enhancing early warnings and early actions to avoid exceeding an irreversible threshold
A Lexical and Semantic Analysis of Research Abstracts:: Based on Examples from Linguistics and Language Teaching Abstracts
This study conducts a comparative analysis of research article abstracts from the fields of linguistics and language teaching by examining lexical density, readability, semantic similarity, CEFR word level, and the use of metaphor. A total of 40 abstracts published between 2015 and 2025 in high-impact journals indexed in the Scopus database were selected for analysis. The study employed computer-assisted linguistic tools and SPSS 26 for statistical processing. The findings revealed that both fields showed high lexical density. However, the abstracts in linguistics predominantly used advanced-level (C1–C2) vocabulary, whereas those in language teaching leaned more toward beginner and intermediate-level (A1–B1) vocabulary. Linguistics abstracts demonstrated greater semantic coherence, while those in language teaching exhibited a wider range and higher frequency of metaphorical expressions.

Effects of strength training on body structure and muscle development in female basketball players: A case study of the NUM "falcons" team
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a structured strength training program on body structure and muscle development in female basketball players, using the NUM\u27s "Falcons" team as a case study.
The study was conducted with 13 female athletes from the Shonkhoruud (Falcons), the women\u27s basketball team of the National University of Mongolia (NUM). Over a four-month period, the athletes followed a structured strength training program that incorporated both general and functional exercises using bodyweight and external resistance. Anthropometric data related to body structure and muscle mass were collected using 13 specific indicators at three period points: baseline (0 months), mid-point (2 months), and post-intervention (4 months). The data were analyzed using Repeated Measures ANOVA to identify statistically significant changes over time.
The analysis revealed statistically significant changes in several anthropometric indicators. Specifically, the shoulder circumference increased by 1.6 cm, the upper arm circumference by 1.3 cm, and the waist circumference decreased by an average of 2.9 cm (p<0.05). These findings demonstrate that a structured strength training program can significantly enhance muscle development and improve body composition and structure in female basketball players. The study supports the inclusion of targeted strength training as an effective component of athletic development for female athletes
Cytotoxic evaluations, spectral characterizations and DFT theoretical calculations of new dioxidovanadium(V) complexes
Two dioxidovanadium(V) complexes have been prepared with dinitrogen atoms donor (ophenylenediamine (OPD) and dithiooxamide (DTO)) ligands. The cytotoxicity studies of the prepared complexes against the L20B cell line displays that they have moderate activity 15 against the L20B cell line. Then, the complexes were characterized by different spectral techniques such as FT-IR, UV-Vis., mass, 1H-NMR spectroscopy, magnetic susceptibility, and molar conductivity. Finally, the spectral data were compared with the data obtained by 18 the DFT theoretical calculations. The obtained spectroscopic data confirmed that the two ligands are coordinated from the two amine groups and in cis-conformation with the two oxygen atoms. The experimental and theoretical calculations show that the two complexes 21 are mononuclear with proposed distorted octahedral structures. The complexes are very stable, the electronic energies are (-773.10 and -907.56 a.u.), the HOMO orbitals energies are (-0.386 and -0.504 a.u.), and the LUMO orbitals energies are (-0.213 and -0.421 a.u.) 24 for the complexes; respectively. The bond angles around the vanadium(V) atoms are in the range (69.44-91.36 A°), and the dihedral angles are in the range (111.22-161.94°). Calculations explained that the complexes are polarized (3.39-5.28) more than free ligands 27 (0.002-3.00). The electronic transition in the complex (2) (0.083) is less than for the complex (1) (0.173). After that, the findings showed that the two complexes have the feature of solubility in water rather than other anticancer compounds that lack such a property; even 30 though using different metal complexes like Platine complexes, etc. Thus, this feature will help researchers use such complexes in future studies
