Published: June 2021

Objectives:

The study aimed at assessing the efficacy of neodymium laser therapies and Accutane (isotretinoin) systemic therapy for patients with rosacea.

Materials and Methods:

A total of 64 patients with rosacea were selected for the study for the treatment of facial rosacea; the study was conducted from 2016 to 2020. All patients underwent a thorough clinical examination according to the generally accepted scheme. Patients received neodymium laser therapies and Accutane (isotretinoin) systemic therapy. Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) scale, Laser Doppler Fluorometry (LDF), and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) questionnaire were used to assess outcome treatments, resulting in the rosacea of the scene before and after neodymium therapy and Accutane (isotretinoin) systemic therapy.

Results:

A multitargeted therapy effectiveness rosacea neodymium is ideal for the management of the signs and symptoms of rosacea and it results in reductions in the mean acne lesion counts after 7 seans therapy, with persistent reduction at the 12-month follow-up, indicating significant long-term remission. The average rosacea IGA scale decreased from 4.2 at baseline to 0.6 after treatment. The average indicators of DLQI before and after laser treatment were 17.3 and 2, 4 respectively. Laser Doppler imaging showed that the mean value of the facial area was 151 units, before treatment; after the treatment, the values decreased, and the mean was 129 units.

Conclusion:

Neodymium laser therapy exposure has been effective in treatment therapies for rosacea. Our results indicate that the use of neodymium monotherapy represents an option to consider when dealing with treatment rosacea, being effective, well tolerated, and free of side effects, as confirmed by clinical and instrumental evaluation. The condition improved from baseline in 92.3% of subjects.

Published: June 2021

Background:

When it comes to a major surgery such as Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG), functional independence is the ultimate goal of treatment over mere survival or drastic reduction in the risk of the life-threatening event caused due to Coronary Artery Diseases (CAD).

Objective:

To find the difference in the ability to perform Activities of Daily Living (ADL) before and after the CABG between control and study groups who received conventional methods and who received nursing care by using the Extended Nursing Care Model (ENCM), respectively.

Materials and Methods:

Data were obtained from 132 patients before CABG and after six weeks and three months of CABG. Patients were enrolled on the day before surgery and included those who were discharged only within seven days of surgery. The lottery method was used on a weekly basis for allocation of the patients in the control and study groups. The study group’s recovery was managed by using ENCM, and the control group’s recovery was managed by using the conventional method. Functional independence in performing ADL was measured by using a standardized Barthel scale. Data were also collected on developing independence in performing the bathing activity.

Results:

The majority of patients’ mobility-walking and staircase use activities were affected before CABG. The mean score of the functional independence has improved from baseline to six weeks and three months in both the groups. The difference in the functional independence score between the two groups was tested by using the Mann-Whitney’s sign-rank test. The improvement was found to be better in the study group than the control group at a 5% significance level at six weeks and three months after CABG.

Conclusion:

The researcher concludes that though functional independence is compromised in the initial stage of recovery of CABG, it improves over some time and this improvement can accelerate with the use of interventions in the ENCM.

Purpose Six forms relating to decisions on life-sustaining treatment (LST) for patients at the end-of-life (EOL) in hospital are required by the “Act on Decision of LST for Patients at the EOL.” We investigated the preparation and creation status of these documents from the database of the National Agency for Management of LST.Materials and Methods We analyzed the contents and details of each document necessary for decisions on LST, and the creation status of forms. We defined patients completing form 1 as “self-determined” of LST, and those whose family members had completed form 11/12 as “family decision” of LST. According to the determination subject, we compared the four items of LST on form 13 (the paper of implementation of LST) and the documentation time interval between forms.Results The six forms require information about the patient, doctor, specialized doctor, family members, institution, decision for LST, and intention to use hospice services. Of 44,381 who had completed at least one document, 36,693 patients had form 13. Among them, 11,531, 10,976, and 12,551 people completed forms 1, 11, and 12, respectively. The documentation time interval from forms 1, 11, or 12 to form 13 was 8.6±13.6 days, 1.0±9.5 days, and 1.5±9.7 days, respectively.Conclusion The self-determination rate of LST was 31% and the mean time interval from self-determination to implementation of LST was 8.6 days. The creation of these forms still takes place when the patients are close to death.

Current models view southeast England as where Neolithic lifeways were first introduced to Britain from continental Europe c. 4000 cal BC, however, there has been little work detailing this process in coastal East Anglia. In 2019, work at the Freston causewayed enclosure provided the first view of a major gathering space associated with semi-mobile farming communities of the Early Neolithic in the county of Suffolk and located on a major estuary close to the North Sea. Excavation produced a rich assemblage of worked flint and Mildenhall Ware pottery (potentially for feasting), plus evidence for the consumption of cereals and hazelnuts.

The tradition of lithic caches illustrates a special strategy of storing lithics which were extracted from chaîne opératoire for some time to be kept/hidden in a special place with/without subsequent return and use. For the Palaeolithic – Neolithic/Jōmon of the Far East (Russian part and the Japanese Archipelago) within the frame of 35 000–2400 cal BP, this tradition demonstrates an impressive multiplicity (more than 400 cases), high diversity, duration, dynamics, and local variability. Such an abundant source of data opens rich perspectives for detailed technological analysis, functional interpretations, and interregional correlations, with analogies in the Stone Age cultures of the Near East, Europe, and North America.
Non steady-state intersonic cracks in elastomer membranes under large static strain
Authors: Corre Thomas , Coret Michel , Verron Erwan , Leblé Bruno
Published: June 2021

Dynamic crack propagation in elastomer membranes is investigated; the focus is laid on cracks reaching the speed of shear waves in the material. The specific experimental setup developed to measure crack speed is presented in details. The protocol consists in (1) stretching an elastomer membrane under planar tension loading conditions, then (2) initiating a small crack on one side of the membrane. The crack speed is measured all along the crack path in both reference and actual configurations, including both acceleration and deceleration phases, i.e. non steady-state crack propagation phases. The influence of the prescribed stretch ratio on crack speed is analysed in the light of both these new experiments and the few previously published studies. Conclusions previously drawn for steady-state crack growth are extended to non steady-state conditions: stretch perpendicular to the crack path governs crack speed in intersonic crack propagation regime, and the role of the stretch in crack direction is minor.

Published: June 2021

In the field of biomedicine, drug discovery is the cycle by which new and upcoming medicines are tested and invented to cure ailments. Drug discovery and improvement is an extensive, complex, and exorbitant cycle, settled in with a serious extent of vulnerability that a drug will really be successful or not. Developing new drugs have several challenges to enrich the current field of biomedicine. Among these ultimatums, predicting the reaction of the cell line to the injected or consumed drug is a significant point and this can minimize the cost of drug discovery in sophisticated fashion with a stress on the minimum computational time. Herein, the paper proposes a deep neural network structure as the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to detain the gene expression features of the cell line and then use the resulting abstract features as the input data of the XGBoost for drug response prediction. Dataset constituting previously identified molecular features of cancers associated to anti-cancer drugs are used for comparison with existing methods and proposed Hybrid CNNXGB model. The results evidently depicted that the predicted model can attain considerable enhanced performance in the prediction accuracy of drug efficiency.

Published: June 2021

Los estudios realizados desde una perspectiva de género en otros países y la normativa internacional subrayan la importancia de (re)conocer las similitudes y diferencias existentes entre mujeres y hombres penados y su impacto en la ejecución de las penas. En España, a pesar de disponer de numerosas investigaciones que analizan el género en prisión, carecemos de estudios que hagan lo mismo en el sistema de medidas penales alternativas. El presente trabajo pretende conocer si existen diferencias entre las mujeres y los hombres penados a medidas penales alternativas. Para ello, se lleva a cabo un análisis bivariado que estudia la relación del sexo con variables sociodemográficas, personales, procesal-penales correspondientes a las medidas penales alternativas impuestas sobre una muestra representativa de 580 mujeres y hombres que finalizaron una medida alternativa. Los resultados señalan que existen diferencias por sexo significativas entre las diferentes variables analizadas.

The Munich Crisis and Collapse of the Versailles System on the Eve of World War II
Authors: Pavlenko V.
Published: June 2021

The article examines the development of the crisis manifestations of the Versailles system on the eve of World War II. Special attention is paid to how and under what circumstances the preparation and signing of the Munich Agreement took place. It is noted that the emergence of Nazi Germany’s European politics at the forefront undoubtedly stimulated a whole range of interstate contradictions. This led to a decrease in the stability of the Versailles system. The manifestations of the reaction of the great powers to the aggressive policy of Berlin are analyzed and attention is focused on the fact that the policy of appeasement was erroneous and led to the aggravation of the Versailles system crisis in the late 30s XX century. This study emphasizes that as a result of the policy of appeasement, the balance of forces on the continent changes dramatically, and the signing of the Munich Agreement in September 1938 was decisive in the development of the Versailles system crisis and determined the beginning of the collapse of this model of international relations. It was stated that the Western democracies did not understand the essence of dictatorial regimes, and such a misunderstanding led not only to the collapse of the international system, but also to the beginning of the World War II
Balkan in the Current European System of International Relationship
Authors: Martynov A.
Published: June 2021

The historical period after the beginning of the global economic crisis has accelerated the transformation of the Balkan subsystem of the European system of international relations. In a strategic sense, the European Union faces a complex dilemma: to Europeanize the Balkans, or to risk the balkanization of Europe. The European Union, together with the United States, has overcome the scenario of European balkanization. Symbols for this were the completion of the process of joining NATO Albania, Montenegro, and Macedonia. It is critically important to overcome the conflict between Serbia and Kosovo. Russia is trying to maintain its influence in Serbia, which remains the last Russian outpost in the Balkans. Serbian society remains divided into a liberal pro-European segment focused on European and Euro-Atlantic integration, and a nationalist segment that hopes to reestablish the "Great Serbia" project on the verge of the 21st century. The peace in the Balkans can only bring the completion of the process of including this region into the system of European and Euro-Atlantic integration.

Published: June 2021

Ekonominin makro anlamdaki krizlerden uzak dönemlerinde, ülkelerin sergiledikleri performansların potansiyel performanslarına en yakın sonuçları vereceği varsayılmaktadır. Bu varsayıma karşın sürdürülen performansların krizleri içeren senaryolarda nasıl bir trend izleyeceği özellikle önem taşımaktadır.

Amaç: Çalışmada gelişmekte olan ülkelerden seçilmiş 41 ülkenin 2015-2019 ve 2016-2020 dönemlerinde; büyüme oranı, enflasyon oranı, işsizlik oranı, faiz oranı ve döviz kuru göstergelerinden oluşturulan makroekonomik performanslarına göre Yükselen Piyasa Ekonomileri Karması'nın (EM2-18) belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu çerçevede, ülkelerin 2020’de ortaya çıkan pandemi krizinden önceki 2015-2019 dönemiyle krizin dâhil olduğu 2016-2020 dönemi verileri analiz edilmiştir. Ayrıca, söz konusu analiz dönemlerinde Yükselen Piyasa Ekonomileri Karması'nı oluşturan ülkelerin bütçe açığı/GSYH, cari açık/GSYH ve kamu borç stoku/GSYH oranları makroekonomik performansın yan etkileri olarak ele alınmıştır.

Yöntem: Çalışmada, ülkelerin yıllık ve beş yıllık ortalamaları dikkate alınarak makroekonomik performans sıralaması yapmak amacıyla Çok Kriterli Karar Verme Teknikleri kullanılmıştır. Yeni yıl eklendiğinde beş yıllık dönemin ilk yılı çıkarılmaktadır. Analitik Hiyerarşi Süreci (AHP) ile makroekonomik performans göstergeleri ağırlıklandırılarak endeks oluşturulmuş ve ülkelerin TOPSIS modeliyle sıralamaları belirlenmiştir.

Bulgular: 41 ülkeden ilk 18’e girenler, görece daha iyi makroekonomik performansa sahip olduklarından Yükselen Piyasa Ekonomileri Karması'nı oluşturan ülkeler olarak belirlenirken diğerleri ise söz konusu Karma’ya girebilecek aday ülkeler olarak ele alınmıştır. Çalışmada kullanılan modelin makroekonomik performans analizi, geçmiş beş yıllık göstergelerin yıllık ve beş yıllık ortalamalarını dikkate aldığından orta vadeli süreçlerde kamu otoritelerinin tercih ve önceliklerinin doğrudan/dolaylı sonuçlarına da işaret etmektedir. Cari açık, bütçe açığı ve kamu borç stoku göstergelerindeki değişimler analizin öne çıkan önemli başka bir özelliğini yansıtmaktadır. Seçilen ülkelerin coğrafi dağılımı ise dünyanın her bölgesini içerecek şekilde tasarlanmıştır ve yüksek performanslı ülkelerin genel olarak Asya kıtasında kümelendiği görülmüştür.

Özgünlük: Çalışmada kullanılan yaklaşımla literatürde yer alan makroekonomik performans analizi makroekonomik istikrar perspektifiyle birlikte ele alınmakta ve bu yaklaşıma ekonomi politik boyut katılarak farklı bir bakış açısı sunulmaktadır. Böyle bir yaklaşım, ulusal ve küresel ekonomik paydaşların karar alma ve uygulama süreçlerinde kullanabilecekleri makroekonomik veri ve bilgi setinin üretilmesini mümkün kılmaktadır. Modelin daha sonraki uygulamalarında, gerçekleşmiş verilerin yanında göstergelerin yıllık tahminleri kullanılarak Yükselen Piyasa Ekonomileri Karması'nın bir yıl sonraki muhtemel ülkeleri de belirlenecektir.

Published: June 2021

Based on its advantages and providing a big part of total energy in the country, natural gas lies in a prominent place among other energy sources. Making cognition and accurate identification of practical elements on the volume of periodic (short and long) demands on natural gas can help us outline suitable plans and policies related to energy. By this view, practical items on natural gas demands had been evaluated. The ARDL pattern with distributed interruptions and ECM model was employed to investigate the function of demands on natural gas during the years from 1976 to 2013. The result proved all coefficients of variables in short and long periods. The natural gas price ratio confirms a contrary relation between natural gas demand and its price in the short term. This ratio in the long-term shows a direct connection between them. Related results to the electricity price ratio show that the electricity price variable has the most positive effect on natural gas demands . Related results show that natural gas's long-term price and income strain are more than short-term ones. Also, results show that natural gas in short periods is a non-strained and necessary commodity. Being non-strained in the short-term results in a lack of efficiency of price policies. So, releasing the price of natural gas can prevent unnecessary consumption of this valuable fuel. Price strain of natural gas in long spans proves that natural gas is a complete strain commodity. This fact is based on why there is some replacement for natural gas, such as electricity and gasoline, for long periods. The minus behind income strain shows that natural gas in the long-term is as low stuff. Intersecting the price of electricity in short and long-term investigations is positive and shows a substitutional relation between electricity and natural gas. The negative intersecting strain of price of kerosene shows that natural gas and kerosene in both the short and long-term are complementary. Also, the gasoline price ratio confirms the complementary relationship in the short-term and substitutional relation in the long-term between natural gas and gasoline.

Law and Order acts as an important part of a country's peace and security. Laws are the rules of conduct established and enforced by superiors (authority, legislation or custom of a given community, state or group). When the people in a community abide by the laws made for them by their superiors, orderliness comes to that community. It acts as a guideline of what is accepted in a society or a country. Law and order also resolve disputes among the people and among the nations etc. As law and order is handled manually these days it takes lots of time and energy of the people. A person will be able to find a lawyer after visiting many lawyer's offices according to the case. In this process lots of energy and time is wasted by individuals, so to overcome this problem, we have decided to build an application which will help a person to find a lawyer suitable for their cases as well as it will help a person to keep track of each and every aspect of the case from start to end. This application includes activities such as a search for the best lawyer, uploading of case-related documents, payment of lawyer fees, hearing date alert, etc. It will also fasten the work of both users as well as lawyers. This application will be secured and the details of the case will only be known to the respective person and respective lawyer. This application is also eco-friendly as it reduces the lots of paperwork and the whole process will be digital.
Study on Performance of Floating Column with Different Configurations
Authors: K S Gokul Kishore , R Manju
Published: June 2021

Floating column is a type of columns which distributes the load to beams rather than foundation. This is common in multi storey buildings which are anticipated to accommodate parking at ground floor or open halls at higher floors. These columns have discontinuities in the load path when a column coming from top of the building is discontinued at a lower level, usually at the ground storey. The structure with floating column should be designed for earthquake loads so these buildings will be in seismic prone areas. In this study, the effect of various lateral stability techniques to the building with floating columns on various structural response quantities of the building using response spectrum analysis is studied. The main objective here is to study the seismic response of building with floating columns with various lateral stability techniques and to find out the most appropriate configuration for providing floating columns. Various parameters such as story displacement, storey drift, story shear, story stiffness of a building is studied with respect to different configurations of floating columns.

یکی از موضوعاتی‌که امروزه در جوامع شهری همیشه در قدم اول از آن سخن زده میشود موضوع امنیت فضا و شهروندان یک شهر است، امروز، جرم و احساس ناامنی در مقابل آن، در محلات شهری مخصوصاً در کشورهای رو به انکشاف مانند افغانستان از دغدغههای اصلی شهروندان به شمار میرود و آسیبهای مؤثری را در رشد اجتماع و شهر میتواند وارد نماید. هدف این پژوهش، بررسی نقش کیفیت منظرشهری در احساس امنیت در شهرک مهدیه (شهر کابل) است. شهرک مهدیه در ناحیه سیزدهم شهر کابل موقعیت دارد که بطور غیر پلانی اعمار گردیده است و بدون در نظرداشت موضوعات استاندارد شهری و شهرسازی است که آسیب-های زیادی را میتواند وارد نماید. شاخصها و معیارهای که در این پژوهش بابت کیفیت منظرشهری در احساس امنیت در نظر گرفته شده است عبارتند از: حس مکان، هویت مکان، خاطره انگیزی، خوانایی، ادراک عمومی و لذت بصری، فرم و ریخت شناسی، که این معیارها دارای زیرمعیارهای زیاد دیگری نیز است که به عنوان شاخصهای منظرشهری برای سنجش احساس امنیت شهروندان در فضای شهرک مهدیه درنظر گرفته شده است. روش تحقیق در این پژوهش از نوع کاربری، تحلیلی-توصیفی درنظر گرفته شده است، جمع آوری اطلاعات و معلومات بطور کتابخانهای- میدانی است. برای تجزیه و تحلیل از روش سوات( SWOT) استفاده شده است، که مهمترین موضوعات را شامل نقاط (قوت، ضعف، فرصت، تهدید) ها در نظر گرفته شده است و موقعیت سازمان معلوم گردید که سازمان در موقعیت محافظه کارانه یا همان انطباقی (WO) قرار گرفته است و باید ضعفها را به حداقل برسانیم و بیشترین استفاده از فرصتها صورت گیرد.
برای تحلیل و بررسی فرضیه های پژوهش تعداد 355 پرسشنامه درنظر گرفته شده است که بررسی فرضیه ها توسط برنامه کمپیوتری (SPSS) درنظر گرفته شده است که فرضیه اول و ارتباط معنی داری بین شاخص­های هویت مکان و خوانایی در شهرک مهدیه وجود دارد و فرضیه دوم به علت و دلیل اینکه توسط آزمون فریدمن موضوع خوانایی، احساس تعلق و خاطره انگیزی در اولویت قرار ندارد، رد شده است.

In this paper we illustrate the stratigraphy, geochronology, and geochemistry (major, minor, trace elements and Sr-isotopes) of a Holocene tephra layer found within coastal sedimentary deposits north of Caleta Olivia (Santa Cruz Province, Argentina). The stratigraphic succession comprises beach deposits with basal erosive surface resting on the local substrate (“Formación Patagonia”) followed by a poorly developed paleosoil. The paleosoil is covered by a lenticular fine-grained (Mdφ: 5.2, 0.027 mm), well sorted (σφ: 1.2) volcanic ash layer and aeolian sands. The geochemical composition of shard fragments points to an origin from the Hudson volcano, located in the southern Andes, ca. 400 km to the west. The geochemistry, Sr-isotopes and the radiometric constraints (younger than the age of the underlying marine layer dated at ca. 4,100 a cal BP) further allow correlating this tephra with the so-called H2 eruption (ca. 3,900 a cal BP). This finding is of interest owing to the poor preservation potential of tephra within the Late Holocene sedimentary deposits of the Atlantic coast of Patagonia and represents the first finding of H2 eruption in this area, improving our knowledge of the dispersion of the fine-grained distal deposit of the Hudson volcanic explosive activity, thus allowing a better estimate of the eruptive dynamics and the risks associated with the Hudson volcano.

Bệnh cơ kháng SRP là thể bệnh cơ hoại tử qua trung gian miễn dịch liên kết với kháng thể kháng SRP (anti-signal recognition particle). Đây là một bệnh chưa từng được nhắc tới trong các báo cáo y khoa ở nước ta. Chúng tôi mô tả các đặc điểm lâm sàng, cận lâm sàng và đáp ứng điều trị của 3 trường hợp bệnh cơ kháng SRP. Cả 3 trường hợp đều có lâm sàng điển hình và xét nghiệm kháng thể kháng SRP dương tính, trong đó 2 trường hợp có biến đổi mô bệnh học phù hợp và 1 trường hợp không điển hình. Một trong số ba bệnh nhân có đáp ứng tốt với điều trị Rituximab, 1 bệnh nhân đáp ứng hạn chế với điều trị 2 thuốc ức chế miễn dịch phối hợp, 1 bệnh nhân không đáp ứng với Rituximab và dung nạp kém với thuốc ức chế miễn dịch. Chúng tôi lưu ý tới vai trò quan trọng của xét nghiệm kháng thể trong chẩn đoán, và những khó khăn trong điều trị bệnh cơ kháng SRP, một thể bệnh cơ còn rất mới ở Việt Nam.

Objetivou-se nesse estudo apresentar uma proposta de implantação do Balanced Scorecard (BSC) no 1° batalhão da Polícia Militar da Paraíba (PMPB). Como objetivos específicos: a) analisar a realidade estratégica da instituição; b) identificar quais os pontos de melhorias do batalhão na visão dos policiais militares que fazem parte de seu efetivo; c) analisar o plano estratégico atual do batalhão, enfocando a formulação dos objetivos nas quatro perspectivas estabelecidas no BSC e relações de causa e efeito. Utilizou-se uma abordagem qualitativa por ter sido realizada uma entrevista semiestruturada com o analista criminal da Secretaria de Estado da Segurança e da Defesa Social da Paraíba (SESDS), para entender a realidade estratégica da instituição e quantitativa por ter sido aplicado questionários com amostragem de 146 policiais que respondem ao 1° batalhão na intenção de identificar o ponto de vista dos policiais militares frente a instituição. Assim, foi possível propor o BSC e suas relações de causa e efeito, traçando estratégias e métricas para todas as perspectivas, mas com ênfase na perspectiva sociedade, pois se trata da principal razão de criação de valor. Espera-se que os resultados apresentados contribuam tanto para o meio acadêmico como para a PMPB, uma vez que a aplicabilidade do BSC pode influenciar na melhoria de gestão.

Straipsnyje aptariamas „Išteklių aprašo ir prieigos“ (RDA) – katalogavimo taisyklių, pretenduojančių pakeisti AACR, kaip turimo standarto, taikymas UNIMARC koduotiems metaduomenims. RDA skirtas taikyti tarptautiniu mastu skaitmeninėje terpėje ir nėra suderintas su jokiu konkrečiu bibliografinių įrašų kodavimo formatu, nors šiuo metu ieškoma būdų, kaip jį taikyti MARC2I ir Dublin Core formatams. Straipsnyje taip pat aptariami RDA ir susijusių modelių, tokių kaip „Funkciniai reikalavimai bibliografiniams įrašams“ (FRBR) ir „Funkciniai reikalavimai autoritetiniams duomenims“ (FRAD), komponentų derinimo su semantiniu žiniatinkliu rezultatai.
Žydų Apšvietos skelbėjai Lietuvoje – pirmieji hebrajiški žurnalai
Authors: Lempertienė Larisa
Published: June 2021

Žydų švietėjų – maskilų – periodinė spauda atsirado sykiu su paties Haskalos (žydų Apšvietos) sąjūdžio pradžia, XVIII a. antroje pusėje Vokietijoje. Jos raida tęsėsi Austrijos-Vengrijos, o vėliau ir Rusijos imperijoje. Svarbi tiek Vakarų, tiek Rytų Haskalos periodikos funkcija buvo vykdyti edukacinę bei ideologinę programą, skirtą naujai konstruoti žydų tapatybei, užgožiant kai kurias jos tradicines religines sudėtines dalis, tuo tarpu diegiant naujus elementus, skirtus suartinti žydus su juos supančių tautų kultūra.

Tarp pirmųjų Vakarų Europos maskilų leidinių reikėtų paminėti žurnalus Hameasef („Rinkėjas“) bei Bikurei Haitim („Pirmas derlius“). Jie buvo leidžiami hebrajų kalba su jidiš kalbos intarpais.

Straipsnyje nagrinėjamas maskilų periodikos ir žurnalistikos istorijos Rusijos imperijoje etapas, sietinas su Vilniumi, kur Samuelis Juozapas Finas 1844-1880 m. leido pirmuosius Rusijos imperijoje žydų periodinius leidinius: žurnalus hebrajų kalba Pirchei Tsafon („Šiaurės gėlės“) ir Hakarmel („Karmelio kalnas“).
Senosios lietuviškos knygos iliustracijos (1547–1864)
Authors: Kuliešienė Sandra
Published: June 2021

Senąja lietuviška knyga vadinami visi leidiniai lietuvių kalba, išleisti 1547-1864 metais. Šiuo laikotarpiu buvo išleistos 1565 lietuviškos knygos. Produktyviausi buvo Vilniaus bei Karaliaučiaus leidėjai. Pirmoji lietuviška knyga išėjo 1547 m. – visam šimtmečiui praėjus po spaudos išradimo. Todėl jos meninei bei poligrafinei raidai turėjo įtakos jau pažengusios europinės spaudos bei knygos meno tradicijos. Šis straipsnis skirtas tik vienam iš vidinių knygos apipavidalinimo elementų – iliustracijų meniškumui apibūdinti. Iliustracijoms priskiriamos vinjetės, frontispisai, siužetinė iliustracija. Šie knygų puošybos elementai apžvelgiami atskiruose skirsniuose. Išorinis ir vidinis senosios lietuviškos knygos apipavidalinimas amžiams bėgant kito labai nežymiai. Tų laikų knygos menas turėjo savo ypatumų, individualių bruožų. Todėl senoji knyga, būdama tautinės kultūros paminklas, gali būti diskusijų bei tyrinėjimų objektas, juolab kad šios kuklios lietuviškos knygos meno užuomazgos buvo pagrindas suklestėti šiuolaikiniam tautiniam knygos menui Lietuvoje.
