This article is devoted to the mythological themes in the works of Yury Polyakov, such as The Goat in Milk , The Mushroom King , Sovchildhood and others. The work analyzes three subtypes of mythologems reproduced by the author: a modification of the myth of Pygmalion and Galatea, reinterpreted in the grotesque combination "the creator and his creation"; folk tales about the Mushroom King and the healer-witch of Mordovia; myths about the Soviet Union. These mythologems demonstrate the diversity of the author's artistic techniques and motifs. The purpose of the article is to identify the functions of these mythologems.

PurposeThis study explores the influence of heritage brand extension on consumer purchase intention and analyses the effects of pop culture involvement. The extension of heritage brands is becoming increasingly difficult because such an extension needs to be consistent with the unique characteristics of brands and resonate with consumers. However, few scholars discuss the influence of consumers' level of pop culture involvement on brand extension and purchasing behaviour.Design/methodology/approachTaking time-honoured brands as an example, this study established a conceptual model based on a comprehensive review of the literature, and then tested the model using a sample of 255 respondents who were familiar with one of the selected Chinese time-honoured brands. Structural equation modelling was used to analyse the relationships amongst brand extension fit, pop culture involvement, perceived value and purchase intention.FindingsTime-honoured brand extension fit has a positive impact on consumer purchase intention, and this path is significantly influenced by the mediation mechanisms of perceived value. Situational pop culture involvement can significantly strengthen the relationship between time-honoured brand extension fit and perceived value, whereas enduring pop culture involvement does not.Originality/valueThe results clarify and expand on the different roles of cultural involvement in time-honoured brands and broaden research on the influence of cultural involvement in this regard. This study has significant theoretical value for the inheritance and revival of heritage brands and provides a reference for the practice of time-honoured brands.

Prestellar cores are self-gravitating dense and cold structures within molecular clouds where future stars are born. They are expected, at the stage of transitioning to the protostellar phase, to harbor centrally concentrated dense (sub)structures that will seed the formation of a new star or the binary/multiple stellar systems. Characterizing this critical stage of evolution is key to our understanding of star formation. In this work, we report the detection of high-density (sub)structures on the thousand-astronomical-unit (au) scale in a sample of dense prestellar cores. Through our recent ALMA observations toward the Orion Planck Galactic Cold Clumps, we have found five extremely dense prestellar cores, which have centrally concentrated regions of similar to 2000 au in size, and several 10(7) cm(-3) in average density. Masses of these centrally dense regions are in the range of 0.30 to 6.89 M. For the first time, our higher resolution observations (0.8 '' similar to 320 au) further reveal that one of the cores shows clear signatures of fragmentation; such individual substructures/fragments have sizes of 800-1700 au, masses of 0.08 to 0.84 M, densities of 2 - 8 x 10(7) cm(-3), and separations of similar to 1200 au. The substructures are massive enough (greater than or similar to 0.1 M) to form young stellar objects and are likely examples of the earliest stage of stellar embryos that can lead to widely (similar to 1200 au) separated multiple systems. ; Ministry of Science and Technology, China 108-2112-M-001-048- 108-2112-M-001-052- international partnership program of the Chinese Academy of Sciences 114231KYSB20200009 National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) 12073061 Shanghai Pujiang Program 20PJ1415500 ANID AFB 170002 AFB-170002 National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) U1631237 NRC Canada Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Spanish Government AYA2017-88754-P State Agency for Research of the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation through the "Unit of Excellence Maria de Maeztu 2020-2023" award CEX2019-000918-M Basic Science Research Program through the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) - Ministry of Education, Science and Technology NRF-2019R1A2C1010851 National Science Foundation (NSF) AST-1715876 National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) 11911530226 11725313 11873086 Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Japan (MEXT) Japan Society for the Promotion of Science Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research (KAKENHI) 20H05645 Yunnan Province of China 2017HC018 Chinese Academy of Sciences MoST 108-2112-M-001-017 MoST 109-2112-M-001-023 ; Versión publicada - versión final del editor

Observing nearby galaxies with submillimeter telescopes on the ground has two major challenges. First, the brightness is significantly reduced at long submillimeter wavelengths compared to the brightness at the peak of the dust emission. Second, it is necessary to use a high-pass spatial filter to remove atmospheric noise on large angular scales, which has the unwelcome side effect of also removing the galaxy's large-scale structure. We have developed a technique for producing high-resolution submillimeter images of galaxies of large angular size by using the telescope on the ground to determine the small-scale structure (the large Fourier components) and a space telescope (Herschel or Planck) to determine the large-scale structure (the small Fourier components). Using this technique, we are carrying out the HARP and SCUBA-2 High Resolution Terahertz Andromeda Galaxy Survey (HASHTAG), an international Large Program on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope, with one aim being to produce the first high-fidelity high-resolution submillimeter images of Andromeda. In this paper, we describe the survey, the method we have developed for combining the space-based and ground-based data, and we present the first HASHTAG images of Andromeda at 450 and 850 mu m. We also have created a method to predict the CO(J = 3-2) line flux across M31, which contaminates the 850 mu m band. We find that while normally the contamination is below our sensitivity limit, it can be significant (up to 28%) in a few of the brightest regions of the 10 kpc ring. We therefore also provide images with the predicted line emission removed. ; National Key R&D Program of China 2017YFA0402700 UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) Science & Technology Facilities Council (STFC) Canada Foundation for Innovation CGIAR European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) via the Welsh Government UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) Science & Technology Facilities Council (STFC) ST/K000926/1 European Research Council (ERC) European Commission ERC-2014-CoG-647939 National Research Foundation 2018R1D1A1B07048314 National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) 12073002 11721303 11991052 STFC consolidated grant "Astrophysics at Oxford" ST/H002456/1 ST/K00106X/1 UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) Science & Technology Facilities Council (STFC) ST/S00033X/1 National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) 11873086 U1631237 11873028 Yunnan Province of China 2017HC018 Chinese Academy of Sciences National Basic Research Program of China 2017YFA0402704 2016YFA0400702 National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) 11861131007 12033004 Chinese Academy of Sciences Key Research Program of Frontier Sciences QYZDJ-SSW-SLH008 National Commission for Scientific and Technological Research of Chile (CONICYT) through a CAS-CONICYT Joint Postdoctoral Fellowship Academia Sinica - Taiwan AS-IA-106-M03 Ministry of Science and Technology, Taiwan MOST107-2119-M-001-031-MY3 European Research Council (ERC) European Commission SNDUST ERC-2015-AdG-694520 National Key Research and Development Program of China 2017YFA0402703 National Science Centre, Poland through the POLONEZ 2015/19/P/ST9/04010 SONATA BIS grant 2018/30/E/ST9/00208 Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) CGIAR Canada Research Chairs European Research Council (ERC) 694343 ; Versión publicada - versión final del editor
