    The paper presents the results of the PhD research of author supported by the Erasmus Mundus Action 2 Programme of the European Union. The paper is dedicated to the landscape planning after European Landscape Convention, in particularly to the Italian experience, demonstrates the differences of understanding the landscape related to social, linguistic, economic, environmental aspects and its interrelationship. European Landscape Convention (Florence, 2000) defined that landscape has “an important public interest role in the cultural, ecological, environmental and social fields”. These intends various possibilities for new programs, for new tools, for new process and activity in regard the city as a landscape. The research investigates the theme of landscaping planning in Italy to answer the main question of the thesis: how can the ELC's addresses be applied to the Russian case through experience of Italian landscape planning. To achieve this goal, has been verified: the process of integrating the European Landscape Convention, the Italian legislative system and landscape planning tools

    The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of teachers in the modern educational process. To achieve this goal, a large-scale survey of teachers (N=419) and students (N=1372) was conducted in 2022 at Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University (Russia), one of the leading universities in Russia. The research provides insights into the transformation of teaching status and role. The function of transferring theoretical knowledge is gradually giving way to a more student-centered approach, characterized by an increased emphasis on mentoring. The study identifies both traditional and emerging roles performed by higher education teachers in the context of digitalization within the modern information society

    Contemporary society provides people with various ways of personality development. Young people are most susceptible to changes that occur in economics, politics, and technology. Different types of life strategies are formed and realized by young women and men, and they eventually transform public consciousness in general. The article is devoted to the analysis of life strategies and scenarios of female students living in Russia and European countries. For this purpose, a series of in-depth interviews with girls was conducted, as well as a visual analysis of the accounts of young women on the social network Instagram. Today, the process of westernization is observable – the adoption of Western European structures, practices, and lifestyles by non-European societies and countries has become a significant cultural phenomenon. Thus, based on the data obtained, it is possible to define a life strategy as a system of ideas and guidelines of the individual, aimed at the conscious design of the future. It determines and directs the behavior of individuals, reflecting the idea of the future and life path. A life strategy includes not only orientations, but also ways to achieve and realize certain goals and expectations.A sociedade contemporânea oferece às pessoas várias formas de desenvolvimento da personalidade. Os jovens são os mais susceptíveis às mudanças que ocorrem na economia, na política e na tecnologia. As mulheres e os homens jovens formam e realizam diferentes tipos de estratégias de vida, que acabam por transformar a consciência pública em geral. O artigo é dedicado à análise das estratégias e cenários de vida de estudantes do sexo feminino que vivem na Rússia e em países europeus. Para o efeito, foi realizada uma série de entrevistas em profundidade com raparigas, bem como uma análise visual das contas de jovens mulheres na rede social Instagram. Hoje em dia, o processo de ocidentalização é observável - a adoção de estruturas, práticas e estilos de vida da Europa Ocidental por sociedades e países não europeus tornou-se um fenómeno cultural significativo. Assim, com base nos dados obtidos, é possível definir uma estratégia de vida como um sistema de ideias e directrizes do indivíduo, que visa a conceção consciente do futuro. Determina e orienta o comportamento dos indivíduos, reflectindo a ideia de futuro e de percurso de vida. Uma estratégia de vida inclui não só orientações, mas também formas de alcançar e realizar determinados objectivos e expectativas

    The neurovirulence and neuroinvasiveness of chimeric tick-borne encephalitis/dengue virus can be attenuated by introducing defined mutations into the envelope and NS5 protein genes and the 3′ non-coding region of the genome

    AbstractTick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is a severe disease affecting thousands of people throughout Eurasia. Despite the use of formalin-inactivated vaccines in endemic areas, an increasing incidence of TBE emphasizes the need for an alternative vaccine that will induce a more durable immunity against TBE virus (TBEV). The chimeric attenuated virus vaccine candidate containing the structural protein genes of TBEV on a dengue virus genetic background (TBEV/DEN4) retains a high level of neurovirulence in both mice and monkeys. Therefore, attenuating mutations were introduced into the envelope (E315) and NS5 (NS5654,655) proteins, and into the 3′ non-coding region (Δ30) of TBEV/DEN4. The variant that contained all three mutations (vΔ30/E315/NS5654,655) was significantly attenuated for neuroinvasiveness and neurovirulence and displayed a reduced level of replication and virus-induced histopathology in the brains of mice. The high level of safety in the central nervous system indicates that vΔ30/E315/NS5654,655 should be further evaluated as a TBEV vaccine

    Multi-Magnetic Properties of a Novel SCO [Fe(3-OMe-Sal2trien)]-[Fe(tdas)2]·CH3CN Salt

    The multi‐magnetic salt [Fe(3‐OMe‐Sal2trien)][Fe(tdas)2]·CH3CN (1) has been prepared and fully characterized by a variety of methods. The crystal structure of 1, determined at 150, 297 and 350 K, consists of alternating layers composed by a parallel arrangement of the chains of isolated π–π coupled cation pairs of [Fe(3‐OMe‐Sal2trien)]+ and anion pairs of [Fe(tdas)2]–. The complex magnetic behavior of this salt is consistent with the sum of the contributions from spin‐crossover (SCO) cations and strong antiferromagnetically (AFM) coupled dimeric [Fe(tdas)2]22– anions. The observed gradual thermally induced spin transition (T1/2 = 195 K) is relatable to the cation exhibiting disordering of ethylene (–CH2–CH2–) groups between two conformers with a narrow thermal hysteresis of 6 K. The dc magnetization measurements and 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy at room temperature are in excellent agreement between γHS(%) value and ratio of disordering of ethylene groups obtained from X‐ray analysis. Mössbauer spectra at 80 K and 296 K indicate a spin transition between S = 1/2 and S = 5/2 for the iron(III) saltrien‐cation and confirms S = 3/2 for the [FeIII(tdas)2]– anion. The experimental results are supplemented with a theoretical Density Functional Theory (DFT) analysis

    Discovery of a high-temperature antiferromagnetic state and transport signatures of exchange interactions in a Bi2Se3/EuSe heterostructure

    Spatial confinement of electronic topological surface states (TSS) in topological insulators poses a formidable challenge because TSS are protected by time-reversal symmetry. In previous works formation of a gap in the electronic spectrum of TSS has been successfully demonstrated in topological insulator/magnetic material heterostructures, where ferromagnetic exchange interactions locally lifts the time-reversal symmetry. Here we report an experimental evidence of exchange interaction between a topological insulator Bi2Se3 and a magnetic insulator EuSe. Spin-polarized neutron reflectometry reveals a reduction of the in-plane magnetic susceptibility within a 2 nm interfacial layer of EuSe, and the combination of SQUID magnetometry and Hall measurements points to the formation of an antiferromagnetic layer with at least five-fold enhancement of N\'eel's temperature. Abrupt resistance changes in high magnetic fields indicate interfacial exchange coupling that affects transport in a TSS. High temperature local control of TSS with zero net magnetization unlocks new opportunities for the design of electronic, spintronic and quantum computation devices, ranging from quantization of Hall conductance in zero fields to spatial localization of non-Abelian excitations in superconducting topological qubits

    Imprint of Climate Change on Pan-Arctic Marine Vegetation

    The Arctic climate is changing rapidly. The warming and resultant longer open water periods suggest a potential for expansion of marine vegetation along the vast Arctic coastline. We compiled and reviewed the scattered time series on Arctic marine vegetation and explored trends for macroalgae and eelgrass (Zostera marina). We identified a total of 38 sites, distributed between Arctic coastal regions in Alaska, Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Norway/Svalbard, and Russia, having time series extending into the 21st Century. The majority of these exhibited increase in abundance, productivity or species richness, and/or expansion of geographical distribution limits, several time series showed no significant trend. Only four time series displayed a negative trend, largely due to urchin grazing or increased turbidity. Overall, the observations support with medium confidence (i.e., 5–8 in 10 chance of being correct, adopting the IPCC confidence scale) the prediction that macrophytes are expanding in the Arctic. Species distribution modeling was challenged by limited observations and lack of information on substrate, but suggested a current (2000–2017) potential pan-Arctic macroalgal distribution area of 820.000 km2 (145.000 km2 intertidal, 675.000 km2 subtidal), representing an increase of about 30% for subtidal- and 6% for intertidal macroalgae since 1940–1950, and associated polar migration rates averaging 18–23 km decade–1. Adjusting the potential macroalgal distribution area by the fraction of shores represented by cliffs halves the estimate (412,634 km2). Warming and reduced sea ice cover along the Arctic coastlines are expected to stimulate further expansion of marine vegetation from boreal latitudes. The changes likely affect the functioning of coastal Arctic ecosystems because of the vegetation’s roles as habitat, and for carbon and nutrient cycling and storage. We encourage a pan-Arctic science- and management agenda to incorporate marine vegetation into a coherent understanding of Arctic changes by quantifying distribution and status beyond the scattered studies now available to develop sustainable management strategies for these important ecosystems.publishedVersio
