No full textrbcL and rpoL gene sequences of Panax vietnamensis var. fuscidiscus and Panax vietnamensis, the background for identification and comparison
No full textThe Panax vietnamensis var. fuscidiscus samples collected at Phong Tho district, Lai Chau Province have morphological characteristics very similar with those of Panax vietnamensis distributed in Ngoc Linh mountain at Quang Nam and Kon Tum provinces that hinders the identification of these taxons. To supply the information to identify two species and know the genetic distance of these species with other Panax species, we sequenced rbcL and rpoB genes that are among DNA barcoding markers recommended for plant species identification. In the rbcL gene of 700 bp in length, we found 9 nucleotide differences between Panax vietnamensis var. fuscidiscus and Panax vietnamensis and the genetic similarity was 98,8%, while in the rpoB gene of 500 bp in length, only 2 nucleotide differences were discovered and the genetic distance was 0,4%. The sequences of rbcL and rpoB of Panax vietnamensis var. fuscidiscus and Panax vietnamensis were submitted to Genbank with the accession numbers KT194325.1, KT194324.1 and KT154685.1, KT154686.1 respectively.

Nasledie «Sidora Karpovicha» v sovremennoj pesennoj kul'ture
No full textThe article analyzes the transformation of the Russian folk song “Dear
Sir Sidor Karpovich”, studied by V. N. Toporov in 1979. This text was a
prison game depicting a funeral rite and having a function of initiation,
but re cently it has become a popular song and lost its minor mood. At the
same time, the protagonist (Sidor Karpovich) loses his name and becomes
a secondary character. The main role is taken by his wife, Lyubka, called
by the epithet “gray dove”. The plot of the song is based on twists and turns of her life after the death of her husband. Analyzing the image of the dove in poetry and, in particular, in prison lyrics, as well as looking at possible influences of other popular songs, the author proposes possible reasons for such a transformation
Gender discourse transformation within contemporary catholicism
No full textThis article analyzes the transformation of gender discourse within contemporary Catholicism after Vatican II Council. The author shows how numerous discussions among Catholic intellectuals and ordinary Catholics on gender equality, women's role in the church tradition, respect to sexual minorities and other out-groups historically discriminated within the traditionalist conservative approach are being actualized at the current stage of development of Catholic thought. Particular attention is paid to the comparative analysis of the gender concept interpretation on the part of secular and religious theorists. The transformation of gender discourse in Catholic thought is profound in nature and is related both to the development of scientific knowledge and the change in value orientations. That reflects the qualitative changes of religious and political identity. Carrying out the detailed analysis of current debate in the Catholic community linked with the Catholic complementarity theory, which shows the traditional understanding of gender, the author focuses on its critical reflection from the perspective of the later gender theories, in particular those proposed by Judith Butler. The author attempts to point out the interrelation between changes in the perception of gender issues among Catholics and the democratization process. Results of the Global Survey of Catholics' values are cited to confirm this thesis. Finally, the author carries out a comparative analysis of debates on the gender concept between so-called "conservative" and so-called "liberal" Catholic thinkers. The article notes the specific role of the French and American Catholic thought in the implementation of the gender mainstreaming. © 2018 Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration.

COMMEMORATIVE PRACTICES OF PAVLOV FIRST SAINT PETERSBURG STATE MEDICAL UNIVERSITY (HISTORICAL ASPECT)
No full textThe article is devoted to attempts of understanding the historical development of educational institution the «Pavlov First Saint Petersburg State Medical University» for more than 100 years of its activity.The author particularly describes the first tries of inner historical researches into the development of the medical institute, with use of archive, museum materials and especially different anniversary publications. In conclusion, the author notes that only the period of 1897–1917 is sufficiently analyzed. Later history of the university still awaits its extensive study
TEMPORALITY OF URBAN PLANNING AND ARCHITECTURE: A SYSTEMIC APPROACH
No full textThe article is focused on the contextual characteristics of architecture. From the viewpoint
of gnosiology, architecture is part of major areas of knowledge, such as science, technology, and
art. At the same time, it is of the same importance as other related areas, including history, art, and
construction technology. Being an open system, architecture is strongly interrelated both with upperlevel
and same-level fields, and no solid system is isolated. Subsequently, architecture has strong
links with history. As the result, development of architecture has a strong temporal connection with
development of all areas mentioned above.
The author argues that architecture should essentially be treated as an open dynamic system
in correlation to its context. After a closer look at urban planning, it is considered to be the essence of
architecture-related activities, and the author comes to the conclusion that it (as well as the architecture
itself) is the most large-scale and complex phenomenon from the viewpoint of time and space.
The system classifi cation by A.V. Boldachev is applied to describe the characteristics of architecture
treated as a system. In light of this theory, architecture can be described in terms of a
'dynamic system as a flow of transitions'. Based on this conclusion, the author states that architecture
as a knowledge system needs to be studied with closer attention from temporal point of view, it
should be treated as a process, a flow of changing states of the system in time
Reprezentacja wyznaniowa w stosunkach Rosja–UE: Problem „tradycyjnych wartości”
No full textThe author analyzes how the concept of “traditional values” is used in the political discourse
of the Russian authorities. Since the third term of Vladimir Putin, there has been a noticeable
neo-conservative turn in Russian politics, expressed both in the strengthening of the influence
of religion and in the tightening of legislation. An active role in this is played by the leadership
of the Russian Orthodox Church, which openly supports the current regime and strengthens
its own influence on public life, regardless of the absence of direct religious demands of Russian
society. The concept of “traditional values” is thus politically motivated, interpreted as an
opposition to liberal values (an example is the homophobic policy of the Russian authorities)
and is aimed at contrasting Russian values with Western ones. The author describes how this
discourse is aimed, principally, at consolidating the conservative electorate within the country
and spreading Russian influence on “conservatives” from other countries. This reflects the need
to search for effective ways to counter populist rhetoric.Autor analizuje, w jaki sposób pojęcie „tradycyjnych wartości” wykorzystywane jest w politycznym
dyskursie władz rosyjskich. Od trzeciej kadencji Władimira Putina zauważalny był
neokonserwatywny zwrot w rosyjskiej polityce, wyrażony zarówno w umacnianiu wpływów
religii, jak i w zaostrzaniu ustawodawstwa. Aktywną rolę w tym odgrywa hierarchia Rosyjskiego
Kościoła Prawosławnego, który otwarcie popiera obecny reżim i wzmacnia własny wpływ
na życie publiczne. Pojęcie „tradycyjnych wartości” jest zatem motywowane politycznie, interpretowane
jako sprzeciw wobec wartości liberalnych (przykładem jest homofobiczna polityka
władz rosyjskich) i ma na celu przeciwstawienie wartości rosyjskich wartościom zachodnim.
Autor opisuje, w jaki sposób dyskurs ten ma na celu przede wszystkim skonsolidowanie konserwatywnego
elektoratu w kraju i rozprzestrzenienie rosyjskich wpływów na konserwatystów
z innych krajów. Odzwierciedla to potrzebę poszukiwania skutecznych sposobów przeciwdziałania
populistycznej retoryce
Towards practical private information retrieval from homomorphic encryption
No full textPrivate information retrieval (PIR) allows a client to retrieve data from a remote database while hiding the client's access pattern.
To be applicable for practical usage, PIR protocol should have low communication and computational costs.
In this paper a new generic PIR protocol based on somewhat homomorphic encryption (SWHE) is proposed.
Compared to existing constructions the proposed scheme has reduced multiplicative depth of the homomorphic evaluation circuit
which allows to cut down the total overhead in schemes with ciphertext expansion.
The construction results in a system with O(logn) communication cost and O(n) computational complexity for a database of size n.The author would like to thank Ihor Samoilovych for his helpful discussions in the process of this work
Calculation of Plane Bending Stability of Beams with Variable Stiffness
No full textAbstractThe paper presents the technique of calculation of the stability of plane bending of glulam beams with a variable section. The solution was made with numerical and analytical means using the Bubnov-Galerkin method. The problem was reduced to a generalized secular equation. The calculations were made in the software package Matlab. The influence of variable rigidity on the critical load was investigated on the example of gable beams loaded by a concentrated force. We compared results with the formulas given in the design standards of wooden structures, as well as the results of A.A. Zhuravlev. It was found that the design standards give very low values of the reducing coefficient which leads to a waste of material. A refined calculation formula in the form of a polynomial with variable coefficients was proposed
