CONTENT COMPONENTS OF STUDENTS’ VALUE ORIENTATIONS

The article considers theoretical aspects of values and value orientations. The paper gives results of their empirical research among 1st–3rd year students learning pedagogy. The authors discuss various approaches to the understanding of values and value orientations, their classification in domestic and foreign psychology, the place of values in the structure of the individual, as well as the significance of values in the structure of the individual and the need to allocate a separate group of priority values – universal values. The study presents the results of an empirical study of terminal and instrumental values (the M. Rokich method in the modification of D. Leont’ev). The paper highlights groups of students depending on value orientations, analyses similarities and differences in most important and less desirable terminal and instrumental values, which different groups have

“Nothing on Earth Passes without a Trace...”

The review of unique “memorial” edition “Life of Remarkable People of Physical and Mathematical Faculty” devoted to genesis and main stages of formation of physical and mathematical school in Samara (Samara State Socio-Pedagogical University) is presented. A detailed analysis of the presented material is made, which covers almost a century-old history of the physical and mathematical school, from the 1930s until today. Attention is focused on the composition of the book, reflecting its main idea: to show the continuity of generations and the importance of each teacher both as a person and as a scientist, as well as a teacher who contributed to the development of the scientific school

The cultural and historical context behind the formation of the architectural image of Nakhichevan-on-Don (Late 18th — Early 20th Centuries)

Submitted on 27 February, 2018. Accepted on 21 June, 2018.Поступила в редакцию 27.02.2018. Принята к печати 21.06.2018.Архитектурный образ Нахичевани-на-Дону на протяжении всего изучаемого периода (конец XVIII — начало XX в.) формировался под влиянием идей и норм русской архитектуры Нового времени, выработанных в первую очередь Санкт-Петербургской архитектурной школой. Неудивительно, что столичная архитектура оказывала влияние на формы и стилистику архитектуры малых городов. О роли Петербурга в формировании архитектурных образов провинциальных русских городов написано немало научных работ. Однако в исследованиях, посвященных Нахичевани-на-Дону, эта роль оставалась практически незамеченной. Проведение подобного исследования представляется особо интересным в связи с тем, что Нахичевань-на-Дону не являлась собственно русским городом, а основана в 1779 г. армянами, переселенными из Крыма в пределы Российской империи. Анализ культурно-исторического контекста формирования архитектуры Нахичевани-на-Дону предпринят с целью выявления культурного дуализма, нашедшего отражение в архитектуре города и проявившегося, с одной стороны, в интеграции донских армян в русское культурное пространство, а с другой стороны – в их стремлении к национальной консолидации. В статье на примерах показано обращение армян к архитектуре Санкт-Петербурга и одновременные поиски национального стиля. Данная работа основана на комплексном изучении архивных материалов, исторических свидетельств современников и натурных историко-архитектурных обследованиях памятников. Ведущими методами исследования стали сравнительный, историко-генетический и стилистический анализы архитектуры Нахичевани-на-Дону. Авторы применяли системный подход, позволяющий учитывать различные аспекты культуры донских армян, и изучать архитектуру города в контексте его культурной среды в целом.This article focuses on the study of influence of Russian architecture of the Modern Age developed mostly under the influence of the St Petersburg architectural school on the artistic and spatial organisation of Nakhichevan-on-Don. It is not surprising that the architecture of the capital had a considerable influence on the forms and style of architecture of provincial cities. There are many scholarly works on the role of St Petersburg in the formation of the architectural image of provincial Russian cities. However, the role of the architecture of the capital of the Russian Empire remained virtually unnoticed in research devoted to Nakhichevan-on-Don. Hence, it is particularly interesting to examine the city’s architecture as Nakhichevan-on-Don was not a Russian city but one founded in 1779 by the Armenians who moved from Crimea to the Russian Empire. The analysis of the cultural and historical context of the formation of Nakhichevanon-Don’s architecture aims to reveal the cultural dualism reflected in the architecture of the city and manifesting itself in the integration of the Don Armenians into the Russian cultural space on the one hand, and in their desire for national consolidation on the other hand. The work is based on a comprehensive study of archival materials, historical evidence of contemporaries, and on-site historical and architectural surveys of monuments. The leading methods of the research are comparative analysis, historical-genetic analysis, and stylistic analysis of the architecture of Nakhichevan-on-Don. The authors use a system approach which allows them to consider various aspects of the culture of the Don Armenians and study the architecture of the city in the context of its cultural environment as a whole

INFLUENZA VIRUS EPIDEMIOLOGICAL SITUATION IN THE SOUTH OF WESTERN SIBERIA IN 2011-2012

In the result of the monitoring for influenza in the Novosibirsk region during the season 2011-2012 85 strains of influenza virus on the culture of MDCK cells were isolated: 79 strains A (H3N2) and 6 strains of influenza virus B (five strains belonged to the Yamagata line and. 1 strain belonged to the Victoria line). During the entire epidemic season 2011-2012 on the territory of the Novosibirsk region no strains of influenza A (H1N1) pdm09 were allocated. For molecular genetic analysis 3 strains of influenza A (H3N2) were selected. We determined full nucleotide sequence of NA and. HA genes encoding respective surface glycoproteins of influenza virus, as well as the comparative analysis of amino acid sequences of these proteins to the strains of influenza A (H3N2), vaccine strain and. the strain A/Victoria/361/2011 earlier seasons, for which diagnostic serum were obtained

Initial and severe cases of influenza in 2020-2022 and population immunity prior to epidemic season

The purpose of the present work was to evaluate population immunity to influenza and molecular genetic analysis of influenza viruses detected in the Russian Federation over 2020-2022. In this study, 1344 samples of blood serum collected prior to the 2021-2022 flu season in Siberian, Southern, Far Eastern, Volga and Ural Federal Districts were studied. Seropositivity to the A/Victoria/2570/2019 vaccine strain (H1N1) pdm09 was detected in 25% to 31% of samples from the four federal districts, and in 8% of samples from the Far Eastern Federal District. Seropositivity to the A/Cambodia/e0826360/2020 strain (H3N2) was detected in 24% to 37% of the samples. The lowest population immunity was revealed to the influenza B/Washington/02/2019 vaccine strain (Victoria lineage), with < 10% of serum samples reactive to the studied strain. Since March 2020, the worldwide turnover of all seasonal respiratory viruses has sharply decreased, except of rhinoviruses. From March 2020 to June 2021, we have identified six B/Victoria influenza viruses from sporadic cases of influenza. From June 2021 to the end February 2022, the State Research Center “Vector” received 901 samples positive for influenza A(H3N2) virus RNA, two specimens positive for A(H1N1) pdm09 virus RNA, and 17 samples positive for influenza B. All studied A(H3N2) viruses belonged to the 3C.2a1b.2a2 subclade (Bangladesh group). The two verified A(H1N1) pdm09 influenza viruses belonged to the 6B.1A.5a clade. All studied influenza B viruses were assigned to the B/Victoria genetic lineage, and to 1A.3a2 subclade. The genomes of all identified viruses did not contain mutations of the NA gene responsible for drug resistance to neuraminidase inhibitors, or mutations in РA gene responsible for baloxavir resistance. All viruses tested by fluorescence assay were sensitive to oseltamivir and zanamivir. The worldwide frequency of influenza isolates resistant to antineuraminidase drugs does not exceed 1-2% of cases. Hence, oseltamivir and zanamivir provide effective treatment for seasonal influenza

Severe cases of seasonal influenza in Russia in 2017-2018.

The 2017-2018 influenza epidemic season in Russia was characterized by a relatively low morbidity and mortality. We evaluated herd immunity prior to the 2017-2018 influenza season in hemagglutination inhibition assay, and performed characterization of influenza viruses isolated from severe or fatal influenza cases and from influenza cases in people vaccinated in the fall of 2017. During the 2017-2018 epidemic season, 87 influenza A and B viruses were isolated and viruses of the 75 influenza cases, including selected viral isolates and viruses analyzed directly from the original clinical material, were genetically characterized. The analyzed A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses belonged to clade 6B.1, B/Yamagata-like viruses belonged to clade 3, and B/Victoria-like viruses belonged to clade 1A and they were antigenically similar to the corresponding vaccine strains. A(H3N2) viruses belonged to clade 3C.2a and were difficult to characterize antigenically and the analysis indicated antigenic differences from the corresponding egg-grown vaccine strain. The next generation sequencing revealed the presence of D222/G/N polymorphism in the hemagglutinin gene in 32% of the analyzed A(H1N1)pdm09 lethal cases. This study demonstrated the importance of monitoring D222G/N polymorphism, including detection of minor viral variants with the mutations, in the hemagglutinin gene of A(H1N1)pdm09 for epidemiological surveillance. One strain of influenza virus A(H1N1)pdm09 was resistant to oseltamivir and had the H275Y amino acid substitution in the NA protein. All other isolates were susceptible to NA inhibitors. Prior to the 2017-2018 epidemic season, 67.4 million people were vaccinated, which accounted for 46.6% of the country's population. Just before the epidemic season 33-47% and 24-30% of blood sera samples collected within the territory of Russia showed the presence of protective antibody titers against vaccine strains of influenza A and influenza B/Victoria-like, respectively. Mass vaccination of the population had evidently reduced the severity of the flu epidemic during the 2017-2018 influenza epidemic season in Russia
