Cultural and Artistic Journals in Circumstances of Independent Ukraine
Authors: Nesterenko Petro
Published: March 2019

During the years of independence the diversity in the opinions on many important issues – the role of an artist and art in the world, the solution of the crucial contemporary problems, the understanding of the national characteristics – became particularly acute. This contributed to the revival of some old journals and creation of many new ones. Unfortunately, today’s typical situation with an extravagant appearance of the next new edition and its short-term existence is reminiscent of the events that took place nearly hundred years ago. Numerous periodicals were born at that time and then quickly disappeared and went into oblivion. Over time, when it turned out that outstanding, though hidden from public, artists worked on their design and artistically determined the era, many journal covers were at last evaluated as achievement of Ukrainian art. However, the modern authors of the covers and the general concept of numerous journals remain on the margins of the artistic process as well. As a consequence, the question arises: do we really have to wait decades to properly evaluate their high art?

Despite the short age, artistic and other journals added a bright page in the cultural and educational life of independent Ukraine. They objectively covered the achievements of Ukrainian artists and will serve as an important material for further research on the history of the Ukrainian art. A skillfully designed logo accompanied by a well-chosen and composed work of art or its fragment became a true decoration of contemporary journals.

In this regard, the author of the paper considers the artistic designs of the covers used in Kyiv journals (from 1980s up to now) and identifies the best masters working in this field. Attention is paid to the time and circumstances of their release, the coordinated work of the authors and editors, the purposes and tasks of the editions. The important role of periodicals in the artistic and educational life of independent Ukraine is highlighted.
“And the Word of Truth and Love” (Shevchenko’s Truth and its Christian Essence)
Authors: Yaremenko Vasyl
Published: March 2019

The paper focuses on the motive of truth and its unique representation in the works by Taras Shevchenko. The topicality of the issue is explained by the needs of its deeper exploration in the context of present time when the term “post-truth” appeared and informational war is going on. Using abundant references to Shevchenko’s and biblical texts, the researcher indicates the features that characterize “truth” in Shevchenko’s works as a basic concept with Christian meaning. In particular, the word “truth” is often used by the poet with such lexemes as “light”, “love”, “glory”, “power”, “will” that involve a strong association with God in the Bible. According to the researcher, Shevchenko’s texts contain obvious and direct indications proving that the poet understood truth as Christ Himself or His teaching revealed in Gospel explanations.The analysis provides considerations which may help to interpret Shevchenko’s works or some fragments in them. In order to show the unequivocal Christian understanding of the category of truth by Shevchenko the author repeatedly refers to the thoughts of Christian theologians. Shevchenko’s “truth” is likened to the concept “will” in the sense of personal and social freedom, but even more it means the Christian freedom of choice for a man and related human efforts and actions. A powerful motive of sacrifice in Shevchenko’s works testifies that he noticed the essential feature of the Christian religion which was reflected in the definition of truth. The paper has a comparative nature as it gives the examples of using the word/concept of truth by Shevchenko’s predecessors. The poet’s attitude towards truthfulness as a virtue is also considered. Based on the diary entries and correspondence of Shevchenko, as well as the memories about the poet, the researcher tries to explore how much this virtue was inherent to him. Shevchenko’s historiosophy is also taken into consideration. The conclusions explain why Shevchenko filled the concept of truth with the Christian content exactly.
Cultural Transfer as New Methodology of Comparative Research on Cooperation of Cultures
Authors: Syvachenko Halyna
Published: March 2019

A theory of cultural transfer was the branch of comparative literary criticism, although this theory declared its sharp opposition against the mentioned tradition of study. The comparative studies in humanities are based on the ideas of specificity of every culture, even when one deals with the influence of one culture on another. Instead of this approach, the theory of cultural transfer promotes not only a simultaneous study of several cultural and national spaces but also a research on disseminations and transformations that appear at any rapprochement between cultures both in an influential culture and in a perceiving one. Consequently, it is not the binary opposition that must be taken into account in cultural transfer but two cultures, one of which is necessarily comprehended as a culture-recipient, although the whole scheme is much more complicated. Any transition from one cultural space into another easily may cause some transformation.

Other ‘new element’ in the theory of cultural transfer is positioning the study of a cultural space periphery, i. e. connections with alien cultural space that every culture necessarily supports, in a center. This approach demonstrates that any phenomenon, no matter how specifically national it may be, actually is a complicated alloy of different cultures and influences.

The objects of cultural transfer include the history of translation. Another priority direction is a comparative study of the national forms of comparativism related to the history of intellectual and spiritual relations between different countries and nations. During the transfer from one cultural situation into another any object gets into another context and acquires a new meaning.

As focus of attention of a theory and studies of translation was shifting to the context of creation, operation and perception of translations, the research on the translated texts increasingly crossed the boundaries of the related disciplines that enabled learning this context – sociology, comparative studies, economics, history, cultural studies. The scholars aim to indicate the ways of manipulating the readers via translation, to explicate interests and values brought with every translation, to show how it forms the culture-receiver and values of society. The most attention is paid to the issues of ideology, economy and politics, the problems of ethnic responsibility of the translator. The object of cultural translation studies is the text in the system of literary and extra-literary meanings within the initial and receiving cultures. Cultural theory of translation raises the question of cultural prestige of the selected texts and determines the basis of this selection, the principles of forming and changing their status. One may focus also on the role of the commentator as an intermediary between the translator of the text and the readers to whom the translator wants to make his way through.

The Trials of Media Research
Authors: Pooley Jefferson
Published: March 2019

Media research is a vexing enterprise. Trapped in the borderlands between social science and the humanities, the study of media and communication bears the liabilities of both. We have to contend with all the challenges that sociologists and literary scholars face: the subjective baggage of the analyst, her struggle to interpret unstable meanings, the strange fact that her descriptions double back on the reality she purports to merely describe. Those are our challenges too, but we face them with special ferocity. The stuff that we study—internet memes, for example, or self-learning algorithms—are characterized by ceaseless churn. Even the categories we use, like “audience” or “content” or “producer,” get washed away by the pace of change. There is nothing fixed or frozen to linger on; everything we study is on the move, looping, dynamic, and messy. The word itself, “media,” gets at this fundamental instability: a medium is something in between, the airy space in the interstices of solider things. So we can’t pretend to be a “science,” not in the confident sense at least. We are better off, as media scholars, submitting to our inadequacy. This means humility as a disposition of principle. Everything we say is tentative and revisable—good enough, at best, for the moment. But not for the next.

Insulin paradox, aging, bone health and growth in the context of mitochondrial function
Authors: Qadri Rizwana , Hassan Sharique , Pandit Muzaffer A , Faiq Muneeb
Published: March 2019

Insulin paradox has recently been reported to show up in more than expected scientific investigations. This puzzle has also involved studies in bone health and longevity. Increase in lifespan of mice and c. elegans knockouts of growth hormone receptor gene has opened an interesting area of research. To this effect, an interesting paper [1] seems to integrate certain cardinal aspects of aging, bone health, and growth with mitochondrial function and insulin; indicating role for insulin signaling at several levels in differentiation, growth and maintenance of osteocytes and life span determination. It has been found that growth hormone receptor knockout (GHRKO) mice display increased insulin, insulin like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), cytoplasmic/mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS), life span and decreased mitochondrial membrane potential, glucose transporter-1 (GLUT-1) expression, steady state ATP, NADH redox index, glutathione, oxygen consumption rate, mitochondrial reserve capacity and skeletal health span [1, 2]. Association of increased insulin and IGF-1 with extended life span is a novel finding seemingly not in agreement with previous reports [3]. An imperative facet of these findings is reduced mitochondrial volumetric density and mitochondrial intensity density in vivo with a parallel finding of no reduction in mitochondrial volumetric density and reduced mitochondrial intensity density in the primary osteocyte cultures.

Published: March 2019

Background and Aims: This prospective, randomized, double blind study was undertaken to establish the effect of addition of dexamethasone as an adjunct to epidural ropivacaine in patients of carcinoma rectum undergoing lower anteriorresection.

Materials and Methods: Sixty ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) class I and II patients undergoing lower anterior resection were enrolled to receive either 6mg or 8mg or 10mg of dexamethasone along with epidural ropivacaine to a total of 10ml test solution in each group for epidural analgesia. Hemodynamic parameters, postoperative analgesia, total requirement of rescue analgesia and adverse events were monitored.

Results: Analgesia in the postoperative period was better in Group receiving 10mg of dexamethasone associated with less postoperative rescue analgesic consumption

Conclusion: Hence, addition of dexamethasone 10mg to epidural ropivacaine can be advantageous with respect to better postoperative analgesia.

Published: March 2019

Objective: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the commonest endocrine disorders affecting 5-10% women in the reproductive age. PCOS is characterized by irregular menstrual cycles, chronic an-ovulation and hyperandrogenism in addition to many metabolic manifestations and some cancers. The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of spironolactone among PCOS women supplemented with vitamin D to make them vitamin D replete.

Material & methods: Sixty eligible women who qualified Rotterdam 2003 criteria and satisfied inclusion /exclusion criteria and had been assigned two groups: Group I: spironolactone (50 mg daily) and cholecalciferol 60000 IU every two weeks and group II: spironolactone 50 mg daily. All women were assessed for clinical, laboratory, and safety parameters before, 3 and 6 months after the treatment.

 Results: Mean age, number of menstrual cycles per year, anthropometric parameters; FG score, metabolic parameters and hormonal profiles were comparable in the groups at baseline. Menstrual cycle frequency improved (8.2±4.6 to 14±4.5 cycles/year vs. 7.9 ± 3.2 to 12.9 ± 6.214.0 ± 4.5) significantly at 6 months after therapy with combination of spironolactone and cholecalciferol vs. spironolactone alone while as FG score decreased significantly (12.4±4.3 to 8.6±1.4 6 vs. 12 ± 3.88 to 10.7 ± 2.9 at 6 months) in the combination. Serum total testosterone levels also showed a significant decline (56.5±20.3 to 38.7±13.6 vs. 57.4 ± 52.1 to 43.8 ± 29.7 at 6 months in the combination. Insulin sensitivity showed a non-significant favorable trend in the combination. There was no significant effect on weight, BMI, BP, LH and FSH levels.

Conclusion: The results of the observational study that women with PCOS rendered vitamin D replete have better efficacy of spironolactone on clinical, metabolic and insulin sensitivity parameters among women with PCOS without increasing adverse event rate.
A Cultural Cognition Perspective on Religion Singularity
Authors: Seybold Kevin S.
Published: March 2019

Kenneth Howard argues in his paper, “The Religion Singularity,” that institutional Christianity has experienced and will continue to experience an increase in the number of denominations and individual worship centers, which, along with a slower increase in the number of Christians in the US, will make institutional Christianity unsustainable in its current form. While there are, no doubt, many reasons why this religion singularity has or will take place, this paper examines the role of cultural cognition on the trends reported in Howard's article. Cultural commitments and values, such as group membership and identity, influence the position individuals take on a variety of religious and political topics, which can then lead to polarization on these issues within the broader society. While we might expect that religious affiliations play an important role in determining a person’s political views, this article seeks to identify whether the reverse is also true, namely the extent to which political views affect an individual’s religious affiliation. This article reviews research that suggests the increasing political polarization in the United States over the past few decades has contributed, along with other factors, to the religion singularity reported by Howard.
Blood supply in the bicipital groove: A histological analysis

Published: March 2019

The vascular anatomy in the closed bicipital groove with the long head of the biceps brachii muscle tendon (LHBT), its mesotenon and the transverse ligament intact has not been analyzed on a histological level yet. An anatomic dissection and histologic study was conducted by using 24 cadaveric formaldehyde fixated shoulders. The bicipital groove including the LHBT and its intact sheath was cut en-bloc, fixated, sliced in 7 μm sections, Azan stained and the vascular anatomy analyzed under light microscopy. Each sideward branch deriving from the main ascending branches of the anterior humeral circumflex artery (ACHA) in the mesotenon of the LHBT was identified and followed through multiple sections to identify its direction and area of supply. Per specimen, a mean of 2.71±1.85 branches could be identified running through the soft tissue of the mesotenon towards the osseous walls of the groove. Of the total 65 arterial branches in all specimens, 22 (33.8%) were running into the medial wall of the groove and 40 (61.5%) into the lateral wall (P<0.01). The results indicate that branches of the ACHA in the mesotenon of the LHBT provide blood supply not only to the tendon but to the osseous bicipital groove as well and here significantly more to the lateral than to the medial osseous wall. In addition, Pacini-like mechanoreceptors could be identified in the mesotenon in 9 (37.5%) of the specimens which has not been described up to now.
Predictive factor for successful retrograde ureteral stent insertion in obstructive uropathy due to advanced cervical cancer
Authors: Noegroho Bambang Sasongko , Mustafa Akhmad
Published: March 2019

Cervical cancer is the 3rd most common cancer in women. Some of the patients came with kidney failure due to malignant ureteral obstruction. Retrograde ureteral stent insertion as palliative urinary diversion often performed on these patients, but it has high failure rate and often has to be converted to nephrostomy, giving the patient unnecessary burden due to failed procedure. In this study, we evaluate factors that may predict successful ureteral stenting in cervical cancer patients to avoid unnecessary burden to the patient. Data were collected from 2014-2017. We evaluate the clinical, ultrasound and laboratory findings before stent insertion of the patient with successful compared to failed insertion. Comparative study was done using independent T-test and Mann-Whitney U test for nonparametric data. Odds ratio (OR) were calculated using contingency table and P value calculated using Fisher exact test. There were 41 patients diagnosed with cervical cancer performed retrograde ureteral stenting. From 41 patients, 20 (48.7%) were successful and 21 (51.3%) failed. Low hydronephrosis grade (OR=85.8; P<0.0001), low stage (OR=6.0; P=0.0098), radiotherapy (OR=3.7; P=0.04) were strong predictor for successful stent insertion. In bilateral hydronephrosis, more daily urine output (OR=29.2; P=0.002) and normal creatinine level (OR=6.3; P=0.03) were strong predictors for successful retrograde stenting, while bladder infiltration was strong predictor for stent failure (OR=0.0684; P=0.0021). Low hydronephrosis grade, no bladder infiltration, normal creatinine level, more daily urine output, low clinical staging and radiotherapy are predictive factors to predict a successful ureteral stenting in cervical cancer patients.
Transvaginal mesh repair of anterior enterocele following radical cystectomy and ileal conduit diversion
Authors: Roman Jose Daniel
Published: March 2019

Complex pelvic organ prolapses may develop after radical cystectomy. We report a case of an anterior enterocele, which was repaired vaginally and using mesh placed extraperitoneally. We present the case of a 75-year-old woman who underwent a radical cystectomy and ileal conduit diversion for treatment of invasive bladder cancer. She developed a vaginal vault prolapse 4 months later. She then underwent a vaginal repair and sacrospinous fixation using no mesh. She then presented to our clinic 4 months later with a prolapse recurrence involving an anterior enterocele. She was treated successfully with a transvaginal mesh repair for reconstruction of the anterior vaginal wall, iliococcygeal suspension and colpocliesis. We argue that there is a place for the vaginal use of mesh in the surgical treatment of an anterior enterocele when a substantial loss of endopelvic fascia is encountered. The extraperitoneal technique seems to be a good option while reducing the surgical risks for the patient.

The study aimed at comparing the problems of parents with learning disabilities to the problems of parents of ordinary students, as well as studying the differences in the level of problems of parents of students with learning disabilities according to the variables of; student class, type of school, nature of the parents' relationship with the student, academic level of parent, monthly family income, number of family members. The study sample consisted of (140) parents of students with learning disabilities and (140) parents of ordinary students. Results indicated that the problems of the parents of students with learning disabilities are more statistically significant than the problems of parents of ordinary students in all dimensions and problems as a whole. The results also revealed that the problems related to the social aspect and the problems related to the school system and the problems as a whole among the parents of students with learning disabilities whose children study in public schools are statistically higher than the problems of parents who study in private schools. The results also indicate that the problems of parents of students with learning disabilities with lower monthly family income are statistically higher than the problems of parents with the highest monthly income within all dimensions and problems as a whole. Finally, the results showed that the problems related to the school system among the parents of students with learning disabilities with the largest family members were significantly higher than among parents with fewer family members.
Toddlaren sitt møte med gjenbruksmaterialar
Authors: Halland Sissel Aastvedt
Published: March 2019

Denne artikkelen bygger på eit kvalitativt studie frå ein småbarnsbase i Norge. Målet mitt er å framheva toddlaren sitt møte med gjenbruksmaterialar, og utfordra barnehagen sin praksis ved å la desse materiala tre fram og eksistera i eit større rom. Mi vitskapelege tilknyting og kunnskapsinteresse kviler på kroppsfenomenologien til Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1945, 2012), Gunvor Løkken (2004) sitt toddlarstudie og Lenz Hillevi Taguchi (2010) som opnar for at materialar er sterke, performative agensar som inngår i ein intraaktivitet med menneske. Med eit hermeneutisk-fenomenologisk forskarblikk (Max Van Manen 1990) og ei noko meir poststrukturalistisk og ny-materialistisk tilnærming har eg reanalysert mine observasjonar for å forstå kva som pregar toddlaren sitt møte med gjenbruksmaterialar. Det er avgrensa forsking på området, og det er ukjent for meg at nokon har dokumentert toddlaren sitt møte med gjenbruksmaterialar på denne måten tidlegare. Av den grunn kan denne artikkelen vera eit kunnskapsbidrag for barnehagefeltet.
English abstract
The toddlers’ encounter with recycled materials
This article is based on a qualitative study within the setting of early childhood education in Norway. I wish to challenge childhood education practices and ways of thinking about what kindergarten may be for the very youngest children when children experience recycled materials. My scientific affiliation and knowledge interest are based on the philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1945, 2012), Gunvor Løkken’s (2004) toddlerstudy and Lenz Hillevi Taguchi (2010) who open up to for the materials to be strong performative agents involved in an intra-activity with the human beings. Through a hermeneutic-phenomenological research (Max Van Manen 1990) and with a poststructuralist and new-materialistic approach, I have reanalyzed my observations and tried to understand the youngest children’s encounter with materials. There is limited research on this area and it is not known to me whether someone has documented the toddler encountering the materials in this way. My work can therefore, I hope, be a contribution to the nursery field.

The parkour is a physical activity that contains special technique applications and requires a great number of jumps.The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 8-week strength training on the jump heights of thetraceurs (parkour practitioners). A total of 12 traceurs, including 6 individuals as the control group and 6 individualsas the strength group, were included in the study. The control group was provided with parkour training sessionstwice a week, and the other group provided with both strength and parkour training sessions twice a week. Eachparticipant's vertical jumps were recorded with the high-speed camera in the validated My Jump 2 application. Themean age of the traceurs control group was 19±.89 years, 173.67±4.63 cm, body mass 66.5±5.32 kg; experimentalgroup was 19.5±1.05 years, 175.83±8.86 cm, and body mass 67.67±7.20 kg. Also according to the results, it can besaid that a significant increase was observed in countermovement jump (CMJ) vertical jump heights (p=0.028) of thestudy group at the end of the 8-week strength trainings compared to the control group and that the strength trainingprovided a positive contribution to vertical jump heights. On the other hand, there was no significant difference(p=0.075) in the control group. At the same time, the CMJ height values of the participants who performed strengthtraining increased 4.97±0.09%. Learning of the vertical jump heights, which is an important parameter for successfulperformance in traceurs, can enable the coaches and athletes to prepare a better training program.

As a model for energy transition to low-carbon economy, Denmark is of great importance for studying internal relationships between economic growth, both energy consumption and production, and Carbon emissions. Based on Denmark’s data for the total consumption of petroleum oil and gas resources, total production of oil and gas resources, gross domestic product(constant 2010 US$) and CO2 emissions over the time span 1984-2016, Johansen test shows that there is no cointegration relationship between CO2 emissions and oil and gas consumption, and the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) boundary cointegration test shows that there is no cointegration relationship between CO2 emissions and economic growth. Nevertheless, ARDL boundary cointegration test is used to confirm the existence of cointegration between economic growth and both the energy production and consumption. We then establish an error correction model to analyze the short-term relationship between these two cointegrated metrics. The Granger causality test indicates that there is one-way causality between economic growth and energy consumption and energy production; in particular, economic changes help explain changes of energy consumption and production in the future. Finally, the empirical analysis results are further discussed with consideration of Denmark’s energy policies and the current state of its energy economy. The results of the present study can help the other countries in the design of energy development, the clean and low carbon energy transition policies for sustainable and long-term economic development.

Published: March 2019

Hydrocarbon exploration in Eastern Indonesia region is mainly concentrated in the related convergent area such as Timor Basin. This area is characterized by the development of complex imbricate thrust-fold-belt deformation involving sedimentary sequence from the Australia continental margin. However, the exploration has not been successfully found the potential economic reserve. Our study utilized extensive and detailed fieldwork campaign  presents the structural style on the onshore region of the Timor Basin. Thick-skinned and thin-skinned thrust faults are both presents in West Timor area divided by the syn-orogenic basin. The change in decolement surface is likely to be caused by inversion structures under the thrust sheets. Our present interpretations indicate that these inversion anticlines structure are likely to occur both onshore and offshore.

The disposal of the fly ash may pose a significant risk to the environment due to the possible leaching of hazardous pollutants. The only sustainable economic solution for the pollution-prevention of theenvironment is the reuse of fly ash in building materials. Some of building composites, in which fly ash iscombined with refractory components can withstand high temperatures. In this investigation testing composites were based on fly ash mixed with high-aluminate cement. Investigated fly ashes were previously subjected to mechano-activation. The leaching behavior and potential environmental impact of hazardous elements were analyzed. Mineral phase analysis by means of XRD was accented due to the fly ash high dependence on its origin. Crystalline phases were investigated by means of DTA. Scanning electron microscopy was used in microstructure analysis. The leachability of toxic elements was within allowedrange, thus investigated fly ashes can be replicated in building materials. Investigated fly ash-cement composites proved to have high physico-mechanical performances, but also good thermo-insulationcharacteristics. The overall results showed that application of the fly ash in building composites unsustainable solution for managing this environmentally hazardous waste material.

ANALYSIS OF GASEOUS SUBSTANCE TOXICITY ASSESSMENT
Authors: Đorđević Amelija , Milošević Lidija , Rašić Marija
Published: March 2019

Exposure to pollutants from the air indirectly affects the health risk level for the exposed population. This dependency is manifested through harmful health effects conditioned by the level of exposure and occurring after the interaction between the pollutant and the biological molecules-receptors in the human body. To fully grasp and assess health risk it is necessary to know the relationship and conditionality between toxic substance doses and the occurrence of unwanted biological and health effects. Consequently, this paper focuses on the application of adequate parameters in health risk assessment in the form of physical equations used to quantify the potential dose, the received dose, and the internal dose of pollutants from the air that are inhaled into the body. The paper also provides the assessment of substance toxicity as a function of exposure duration and dose.

Published: March 2019

Fires caused by spontaneous ignition represent a serious occupational and environmental hazard. The process of tobacco self-ignition is slow but it results in tobacco combustion that is hard to extinguish, causing loss and other harmful effects. This is what motivated us to conduct research on the causes and mechanisms of this phenomenon.The results obtained depend on the methods and equipment used. This paper describes the procedure to specify specimen temperature versus ambient temperature on the basis of time.The equipment used and the measuring process are also described in the paper. We concluded that the values of self-ignition temperature are not laboratory constants for certain species of tobacco but variables, which primarily depend on the temperature of the working environment. The data we obtained in the experiment was used to train an RBF (Radial Basis Function) network. After training, the RBF network was able to predict self-ignition temperature for some cases of working environment temperatures that were not considered.

Published: March 2019

A field trial was conducted in 2017 to investigate the interactive effect of the land preparation methods and different rates of nitrogenous fertilizer on maize performance and yield southwestern Nigeria. The experiment was a 3 by 3 factorial; conducted in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) in a split plot management with tillage systems (T): Convectional tillage (CT), Reduced tillage (RT) and No-tillage (NT) as the main plot while nutrient amendments (N) rates (0, 50, and 120 Kg N.Ha-1) as sub-plots factor and all treatments were replicated three times. Growth and yield parameters were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA). No tillage had the least plant height, stem diameter and stover weight but had the highest grains yield. Grain yield were not statistically different in all the tillage practices at different N rates applied but 60 kg N ha-1 seems  best for maize production in the study area.
