Personality Profiles and the “Russian Soul”: Literary and Scholarly Views Evaluated

Abstract: Many domestic and foreign observers have claimed that Russians have a unique constellation of personality traits that mirrors their distinctive historical and cultural experience. To examine the hypothesized uniqueness of Russian personality, members of the Russian Character and Personality Survey collected data from 39 samples in 33 administrative areas of the Russian Federation. Respondents (N = 7,065) identified an ethnically Russian adult or college-aged man or woman whom they knew well and rated the target using the Russian observer-rating version of the Revised NEO Personality Inventory. The mean personality profile of Russians was very similar to the international average based on 50 different countries, debunking the myth of a unique Russian soul.The small variations from world norms did not converge with depictions of Russian national character in fiction and the scholarly literature. New items intended to capture distinctive, emic aspects of Russian personality provided no new information beyond...

Catalytic Hydrogenation of α-Iminophosphonates as a Method for the Synthesis of Racemic and Optically Active α-Aminophosphonates

Abstract: It was shown that the catalytic hydrogenation of α-iminophosphonates by molecular hydrogen can serve as a convenient method for the synthesis of racemic and optically active α-aminophosphonates. Up to 94% ee was achieved in the rhodium-catalyzed enantioselective hydrogenation using chiral ligand (R)-BINAP.

Influence of surface-active compounds on the response and sensitivity of cholinesterase biosensors for inhibitor determination

Abstract: The influence of non-ionogenic surfactants, i.e., Tween-20, Triton X-100 and PEG-10,000, on the response of cholinesterase-based potentiometric biosensors and their sensitivity towards reversible and irreversible inhibitors were investigated. Acetyl- and butyrylcholinesterases were immobilized on nylon, cellulose nitrate films and tracing paper and were introduced into an assembly of potentiometric biosensors. The effect of surface-active compounds depends on the hydrophilic properties and porosity of the enzyme support material and the inhibition mechanism. In the range 0.002-0.3% m/v the surfactants show a reversible inhibiting effect on biosensor response. At lower concentrations (down to 10(-4)% m/v) the surfactants alter the analytical characteristics of reversible and irreversible inhibitor determination. The use of surface-active additives improves the biosensor selectivity in multi-component media.
