The effects of transcranial electrical stimulation (TES) of the brain on word learning were addressed in a large-scale study in 288 people. The study included a comprehensive assessment of the effects of TES in various conditions (implicit/explicit learning strategy, with/without articulation, anodic/cathodic stimulation, left/right hemisphere, and stimulation area (Broca/Wernicke and their homologs in the right hemisphere)). After 15 minutes of real or placebo stimulation, subjects were presented with eight new words with semantic binding, each 10 times. The latency of correct responses in the test task assessing the semantic correlation of the word and image was used as an indicator of the effectiveness of acquiring new words. The results showed a general non-specifi c acceleration of responses when real stimulation was used (as compared to placebo), independently of the conditions tested.

Antiviral activity is commonly summarized using endpoint measures such as EC50 or EC90, yet these quantities emerge from a dynamic biological system and depend on viral replication kinetics, host-cell properties, experimental design, and the assay used to quantify infection. Infectious-virus titers, viral RNA, infected-cell fractions, viability measurements, and immune readouts capture different components of the ...

The paper substantiates the concept of the existence of a “transvital Self”, a particular form of an individual’s existence beyond the apparent forms of vital function and the processes of reproducing self as a psychophysical integrity. The author uses the term “transvitality” (as in A. Akopyan’s “transvital meanings”) to more generally address this concept as ...

The concept of the I that is present in the scholarly and mundane consciousness is inwardly paradoxical, as it contains the risk of regression to “bad infinity”. Thus, “I see an object” obviously creates in me the image of the object; by implication, “someone” inside me sees the image of the perceived object and, consequently, ...

The determination of new words and meanings is a key issue in lexical history studies. However,
common reliance on identifying “the earliest examples” can be challenged by textual complexity and subjective
disagreements. Focusing on the emergence of the FAST meaning of kuai (快), this study proposes criteria for
identifying new meanings from the perspective of the lexical system. ...

The article examines Old Russian anthroponyms with the suffix -ec-, originally conveying the meaning ‘less than X’. A diachronic corpus study of
11th–17th-century texts reveals that while this suffix lacked inherent pejorative
connotations in Old Russian sources, contextual (adherent) pejoration is clearly
observable. For pre-15th-century chronicles, two primary usage patterns are
identified—1) characters with explicit negative evaluation, and 2) ...

Brachiopoda is a group of animals, that is still insufficiently studied at the ultrastructural level, despite the significance of ultrastructure of tissues and organs for analysing the functional morphology, reconstructing the organisation and biology of numerous extinct brachiopods, and establishing relationships among major taxa. In the present study, we provide a revised reconstruction of the ...

The story of the Tower of Babel (Gen 11:1-9) is one of the key episodes in the narratives of the Book of Genesis. In modern scholarship, various—often sharply divergent—datings of this pericope are proposed, as well as different interpretations of its place in the picture of the formation of the biblical text that was put ...

Like other narratives in the Book of Genesis, the story of Cain and Abel (Gen 4:1–16) has been studied and commented upon for more than two millennia. However, recent scholarship has introduced significant revisions to traditional interpretations. Over the past five years, several monumental commentaries on Genesis 1–11 have been published, offering new—and sometimes mutually ...

The study tested the assumption that heterogeneity (low degree of similarity) of visual context elements facilitates the search for a given target under conditions of implicit internalization of contextual configurations.

At least two cognitive strategies are used for new word learning: fast mapping (FM) via context-dependent inference and explicit encoding (EE) via direct instruction. However, these distinctions remain debated and the neural dynamics underpinning these processes are poorly understood. To tackle this, we designed a paradigm presenting 20 new spoken words in association with pictures in either FM or EE settings, ...
