Level and Rate of Population Ageing in the Northern Regions of Russia According to the New Retirement Age by Larisa A. Popova, Elena N. Zorina

“…The migration outflow that began in the late 1980s caused the increased rates of demographic ageing of the Northern regions, which also continued in 2002-2010. As a result, in Karelia and the Arkhangelsk Oblast, the share of the population above the new retirement age in 2021 already noticeably exceeds the average Russian level, while in the Sakhalin Oblast, the Komi Republic and the Murmansk Oblast, it is close to the national level. …”

Optical Coherence Tomography Biomarkers of the Outer Blood—Retina Barrier in Patients with Diabetic Macular Oedema by Ioana Damian, Simona Delia Nicoara

“…The thickness of a specific layer could not be identified as a biomarker to correlate significantly with BCVA, most likely because we did not analyze specific morphologic features, such as continuity and reflectivity. The analysis of the RPE thickness could clarify the unexplained decrease of BCVA and predict early the evolution of DR.…”

LOESS WAS FORMED, BUT NOT SEDIMENTED by NICOLAE FLOREA

“…Le loess s’est formé par une action concomitante des suivants processus: une sédimentation faible et régulière des matériaux aleuritiques, notamment transportés par vent, un processus du formation du sol avec l’intégration de la poussière déposée (pédogénèse sédintégrante) et une accrétion graduelle déterminée par la sédimentation continuelle de la poussière et son intégration dans le sol, de sorte que l’horizon supérieur du sol, antérieurement formé, devient couche profonde qui n’est plus influencée parles facteurs et processus pédogénétiques. En continuation cette couche est transformée par diagenèse en loess avec ses propriétés spécifiques. …”

Ethnosymbolism as a Framework for Early Modern Literature Analysis: Theoretical Reflections on the Identity of the Political Community of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania by Skirmantas Knieža

“…While the latter mainly focus on social factors and associate the emergence of nationalism with the industrialization of the 19th century, ethnosymbolists suggest evaluating cultural factors and interpreting the emergence of the modern nation as a chronological, continuous, and gradual process. The emergence of ethnosymbolism in the 1980s can be associated with a broader cultural turn in historiography and history studies: scholars shifted their focus to foundational myths and myths of descent, analyzing symbols that helped establish and cultivate the cultural memory of communities. …”
