Boris Parygin' Social Psychology: History and Perspectives.

International literature on the history of Russian psychology is largely limited to the development of Activity theory and cultural-historical theory. This paper aims to go beyond these limits by introducing a figure little known to an international audience, Boris Parygin, who emerged in the 1960s with his "grand" project for the development of Russian social psychology, significantly different from the Soviet psychology "mainstream," stemming from Vygotsky, Luria, and Alexei Nikolaevich Leontiev. We demonstrate that Parygin's works belong to a theoretical and methodological tradition of social and humanitarian scholarship that had been developing in Russia since 1870s.

Formation of Ultrathin Diamond Films on Metal Substrates via Graphene-Metal Bonding.

Diamond's exceptional properties make it a key material in various technologies, but synthesizing its low-dimensional form, diamane─a diamond film with atomic thickness─remains challenging. Diamane synthesis is complicated by the instability of ultrathin films, which tend to delaminate into multilayer graphene. However, chemically induced phase transitions, where the adsorption of specific atoms stabilizes the film, offer a potential solution.

Impact of Various Treatment Modalities on Long-Term Quality of Life in Cervical Cancer Survivors.

Introduction Given treatment advancements and the long life expectancy of mostly young patients with cervical cancer, their post-treatment quality of life (QoL) is essential to consider. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term QoL in cervical cancer survivors treated with various approaches. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional survey-based study using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC-QLQ-C30) and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Cervical Cancer Module 24 (EORTC-QLQ-CX24) questionnaires and involved members of the online cervical cancer patient support group (01/2024-02/2024).

Toward Superior Stiffness in Carbon: The Interplay between Bond Strength and Anisotropic Response.

Carbon's ability to form diverse structures with varying hybridizations motivates the search for novel materials surpassing diamond's exceptional mechanical rigidity. We analyze previously predicted superhard phases and find that some exhibit average bond stiffness and density higher than those of diamond, hinting at potentially superior stiffness. However, these structures show a lower bulk modulus.

Facilitating the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction on Basal-Plane S Sites on MoS@NiS by Dual Ti and N Plasma Treatment.

Atomic engineering of the basal plane active sites in MoS holds great promise to boost the electrocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution reactions (HER), yet the performance optimization and mechanism exploration are still not satisfactory. Herein, we proposed a dual-plasma engineering strategy to implant Ti and N heteroatoms into the basal plane of MoS supported by NiS nanorods on nickel foam (MSNF) for efficient electrocatalysis of HER. Owing to the low formation energy of Ti dopants in MoS and the extra charge carriers introduced by N dopants, the optimally codoped samples N1.
