Melville and the Vortex Theory of Matter by Paweł Stachura

“…In literary fiction, the vortex atom translated into curious imagery of a claustrophobic universal plenum, matter and soul combined, organized by intermeshing vortices, and leaving no possible room for a hovering freedom in empty space. In a universe based on the vortex theory of matter, a subject is not in a vortex, but is itself a vortex, continuously meshing with other vortices, in a basket-like, tightly knit lattice that comprises everything. …”

Anti-immigration Agenda of Populist Parties in Switzerland by E. P. Shavlay, M. I. Sigachev, E. S. Sleptsov

“…The authors argue that the phenomenon of Swiss populism should be considered in a broader context, in connection with which attention is paid not only to the Swiss people's party, the Ticino League and the Geneva citizens ' Movement, but also to the populist parties of countries belonging to the Alpine macroregion – the Austrian freedom party (Austria) and the League (Italy). A discursive analysis of the programs shows that the anti-immigrant program is an essential part of the identity of right-wing populists. …”

Epizootic situation on sheep pox and goat pox in Tajikistan in 2000–2021 by R. Atovullozoda

“…Based on systemic epidemiological analysis of the structure and dynamics of nosoareals, as well as risk assessment of sheep pox and goat pox entry, emergence and distribution, monitoring and establishment of infected and endemic zones, the features and patterns of distribution and occurrence of these diseases’ epizootic process were defined, which confirms the need for a systematic approach to epidemiological surveillance of highly dangerous and economically significant infectious diseases having a trend for transboundary spread, which will facilitate the solution of the problem regarding identification of possible threats and the implementation of veterinary and sanitary measures in case of disease occurrence in the territory of any country to ensure animal disease freedom.…”
