IRON METABOLISM, ERYTHROPOIESIS AND IMMUNE INFLAMMATION IN ANEMIC PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC HEART FAILURE IN THE PRESENCE OF DIABETIC NEPHROPATHY
Authors: Ryndina N. G.
Published: July 2021

The development of anemia in patients with chronic heart failure by the presence of diabeticnephropathy is characterized by erythropoietyc activity fall due to the low level of erythropoietinand functional iron deficiency, as a result of influence of pro-inflammatory cytokine level on hepcidinactivity, resulting in the disruption of the functional iron fund, deposited block of iron. The presenceof microalbuminaemia can be considered as a factor in formation of anemic syndrome due to loss oferythropoietin, transferrin, soluble transferring receptor as a part of protein’s pool in patients withchronic heart failure and diabetic nephropathy. The presence of anemia in patients with chronic heartfailure and diabetic nephropathy is associated with inadequate low central regulator of erythropoiesislevel in response to low hemoglobin concentrations on background of moderate decrease in glomerularfiltration rate.

One of the pathogenic factors in all forms of man's infertility, including the chronic prostatitis as a result, leading to a violation of spermatogenesis, and to the overproduction of reactive oxygen species in semen, which is defined as oxidative stress. The accumulation of reactive oxygen species in sperm leads to damage to sperm membranes, their DNA fragmentation and decrease in their motility. In addition, there is an imbalance of the hormonal profile, which promote the development of man infertility with oxidative stress. The purpose of this work was investigation of prooxidant-antioxidant processes state in rats’ spermogram indicators under conditions of experimental prostatitis and its pharmacological correction by Chondroitin sulfate and its combination with Tribestan and placenta. Non-bacterial prostatitis have been caused by double rectal administration to male rats of 1 ml of the mixture based on a 10 % solution of dimexide in water and turpentine in a 4:1 ratio (model of turpentine prostatitis). Chondroitin sulfate, Chondroitin sulfate + Tribestan, Tribestan, Bioglobin-B, Prostaplant were administered for 14 days. The morphofunctional state of sperm cells and indicators represent of prooxidant-antioxidant processes state in the prostate homogenate have been studied: the content of diene conjugates, lipid hydroperoxides, products which reacts with thiobarbituric acid (TBA products) and reduced glutathione. Turpentine prostatitis is characterized by an intensification of lipid peroxidation processes and decrease of antioxidant protection processes, which negatively affects on the functional state of spermatozoa have been established. All studied medicines have a normalizing effect on the processes of lipid peroxidation and the functional state of spermatozoa. The study of the products of the prooxidant-antioxidant system in homogenates of the prostate gland and rats’ spermogram indicators showed the advantage of using Chondroitin sulfate in compared to other studied medicines.

A progressive increase of complications of type 2 DM makes the problem very important for clinical andfundamental medicine. In particular, neurodegenerative processes in case of type 2 DM aggravate the courseof the disease, change a usual life rhythm, and are a valuable cause of high rates of disability and lethality.Deterioration of cognitive functions is one of the main complications of diabetes. In certain literary sourcesinhibitors of angiotensin-transforming enzyme are considered as the means to prevent and treat complicationsof diabetes mellitus. Their role as modulators of gama-aminobutyric acid with development of central diabeticneurodegeneration is not completely determined yet.Therefore, the objective of the study is to assess efficacy of pharmacological correction of cognitive disordersby carbacetam, a GABA modulator, and enalapril, a RAS blocker, in case of experimental neurodegenerationcaused by type 2 DM.Changes of the cognitive functions under carbacetam and enalapril effect in nonlinear laboratory albinomale rats with neural degeneration under conditions of type 2 diabetes mellitus simulated by streptozotocin andhigh fat diet are studied. The cognitive ability was assessed by behavioral reactions of rats in the tests «openfield» and «the conditional reflex reaction of passive avoidance» by Butler formula.Behavior of rats with type 2 diabetes mellitus after administration of carbacetam and enalapril showed ofcognitive functions in the groups. At the same time, carbacetam was found to possess better correcting effect onadaptation, cognitive reactions and anti-amnestic activity, while enalapril improved emotional condition of therats mostly.

The Unified Medical Language System at 30 Years and How It Is Used and Published: Systematic Review and Content Analysis
Authors: Jing Xia
Published: July 2021

Background

The Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) has been a critical tool in biomedical and health informatics, and the year 2021 marks its 30th anniversary. The UMLS brings together many broadly used vocabularies and standards in the biomedical field to facilitate interoperability among different computer systems and applications.

Objective

Despite its longevity, there is no comprehensive publication analysis of the use of the UMLS. Thus, this review and analysis is conducted to provide an overview of the UMLS and its use in English-language peer-reviewed publications, with the objective of providing a comprehensive understanding of how the UMLS has been used in English-language peer-reviewed publications over the last 30 years.

Methods

PubMed, ACM Digital Library, and the Nursing & Allied Health Database were used to search for studies. The primary search strategy was as follows: UMLS was used as a Medical Subject Headings term or a keyword or appeared in the title or abstract. Only English-language publications were considered. The publications were screened first, then coded and categorized iteratively, following the grounded theory. The review process followed the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines.

Results

A total of 943 publications were included in the final analysis. Moreover, 32 publications were categorized into 2 categories; hence the total number of publications before duplicates are removed is 975. After analysis and categorization of the publications, UMLS was found to be used in the following emerging themes or areas (the number of publications and their respective percentages are given in parentheses): natural language processing (230/975, 23.6%), information retrieval (125/975, 12.8%), terminology study (90/975, 9.2%), ontology and modeling (80/975, 8.2%), medical subdomains (76/975, 7.8%), other language studies (53/975, 5.4%), artificial intelligence tools and applications (46/975, 4.7%), patient care (35/975, 3.6%), data mining and knowledge discovery (25/975, 2.6%), medical education (20/975, 2.1%), degree-related theses (13/975, 1.3%), digital library (5/975, 0.5%), and the UMLS itself (150/975, 15.4%), as well as the UMLS for other purposes (27/975, 2.8%).

Conclusions

The UMLS has been used successfully in patient care, medical education, digital libraries, and software development, as originally planned, as well as in degree-related theses, the building of artificial intelligence tools, data mining and knowledge discovery, foundational work in methodology, and middle layers that may lead to advanced products. Natural language processing, the UMLS itself, and information retrieval are the 3 most common themes that emerged among the included publications. The results, although largely related to academia, demonstrate that UMLS achieves its intended uses successfully, in addition to achieving uses broadly beyond its original intentions.
Coaching to increase water intake in CKD 1–5: overview and detailed analysis of three clinical trials
Authors: Ivanova Mariia D. , Gozhenko Anatoliy I. , Crestanello Tommy , Ivanov Dmytro D.
Published: July 2021

Parallel two-group prospective multicentre randomized trial named “HYD45 — Hydration in CKD 4–5 stages” that enrolled 62 patients with CKD G4–5 was aimed at evaluating of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) with coaching to increase water intake (CIWI) with the achievement of minimally higher diuresis by 400 mL in 31 patients compared with the CKD G4–5 group without CIWI. The stated duration was 12 months, and the trial was terminated in 6 months due to a more pronounced eGFR drop in the CIWI group, namely –3.3 ml vs. 2 ml in the group without CIWI. eGFR, renal functional reserve (RFR), albumin-to-creatinine ratio, and patient’s quality of life were additionally analyzed in this trial. Finally, three randomized clinical trials were analyzed in which patients with CKD 1–2, 3, and 4–5 received hydration. The results of studies demonstrate the possible efficacy of CIWI in stage 1–2 CKD in patients with normal or increased renal functional reserve. In stage 3 CKD, CIWI showed no benefits, and in stage CKD 4–5, forced hydration resulted in greater renal function loss. Summarizing these data, the authors concluded that it is probably appropriate for healthy people to consume the amount of fluid that provides physiological diuresis of 1.2–1.8 L and urine normal osmolarity. CIWI is often excessive, forced excessive hydration may not promote a healthy lifestyle. CIWI becomes forced excess hydration as kidney function decreases. Possibly, the benefits of CIWI are lost in CKD with the progression of renal function reduction. The effect of CIWI for 12 months may be positive for stage 1 CKD and stage 2 CKD with normal functional renal reserve. CIWI is probably impractical for chronic stages 3–5 CKD. In CKD 4–5, RFR is not preserved, which probably explains the negative effect of CIWI. With CKD G1, the CIWI leads to the optimal preservation of the renal function with the increase of GFR per 1 ml/min/1.73 m2 per year in comparison with the same water intake. In CKD G2, CIWI prevents physiological and pathological loss of renal function, RFR above 50% provides restoration of eGFR in CKD G1–2. Early Coaching to Increase Water Intake in CKD (ECIWIC) trial demonstrates benefits of CIWI in patients with CKD G1–2 and preserved RFR and may be recommended to delay the CKD worsening.
Clinical and morphological characteristic of kidney damage in HIV/HCV co-infected patients who did not receive antiretroviral therapy
Authors: Gorodetska A.I. , Dyadyk O.O. , Ivanova M.D.
Published: July 2021

In the era of antiretroviral therapy (ART), the development of chronic kidney disease in HIV-infected patients is a significant complication not directly related to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), the risk of which is increased with co-infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV). The pathogenetic pathways of the development of kidney tissue damage and the formation of a morphological substrate for each of the viruses are different, but the immune-mediated mechanisms are a common link for the development of immune complex diseases. We studied renal necropsy samples in 20 patients with HIV/HCV co-infection who did not receive ART, and the dependence of the identified morphological substrate on the level of CD4+ in the blood, to assess and predict their morphogenesis. We observed predominantly segmental mesangial proliferation with an expansion of the mesangial matrix and glomerular involvement ≥50 % in 15 (75 %) cases and glomerular involvement <50 % in 3 (15 %) cases. Endocapillary proliferation (E), infiltration of glomeruli with monocytes, neutrophil leukocytes, segmental macrophages were found in 2 (10 %) cases with the involvement of ≥ 50 % of glomeruli, which was regarded as an exudative component of the inflammatory response. In all cases, sclerosis of capillary loops was verified, which was mainly accompanied by their collapse, thickening of the capillary walls, namely the basement membranes of capillaries and segmental sclerosis of capillary loops of the glo­meruli of varying severity. Initial interstitial stromal fibrosis was found in 5 (25 %) cases, degenerative changes in the convoluted tubules — in 9 (45 %), mainly with the T0–T1 level. Positive expression of IgA, IgM, IgG, and C3 complement fractions in the form of linear and granular deposits along the capillary endothelium was detected with an intensity of “+” to “++”. We compared the verified morphological pattern and the level of CD4+ in the blood and found that patients with deeper immunosuppression show fewer changes, mainly characterized as sclerotic. Moreover, with an increase in the level of CD4+, the morphological substrate is enriched with a proliferative component. Expression of immunoglobulins and components of the complement system in immonohistochemical assay, in particular in areas of sclerotic changes, verifies the presence of prolonged immune complex associated lesions. To determine the detailed morphogenesis, it is advisable to perform a further correlation analysis of the data obtained with the control.
Safety and effectiveness of rheosorbilact detoxification therapy in stage 1–3 CKD
Authors: Ivanov D.D.
Published: July 2021

The problem of detoxification therapy, in particular for kidney disease, is an important component of modern treatment. Renal dysfunction significantly complicates detoxification measures for at least two reasons. The first is to reduce the clearance of toxic substances, increase their content and redistribution in body tissues while reducing the glomerular filtration rate. The second reason is a change in the pharmacodynamics of detoxification drugs due to decreased renal function. Rheosorbilact is a hyperosmolar crystalloid electrolyte solution for infusion, which has detoxifying, rheological and alkalizing action with stimulation of intestinal motility. The drug is used to correct metabolic acidosis without causing sharp fluctuations in pH, due to the sodium lactate content, the effect of which manifested itself in 20–30 minutes after administration. Another important component of the drug is sorbitol, which in the form of an isotonic solution has a disaggregating effect, improving microcirculation and tissue perfusion. Sodium chloride in the drug replenishes the deficiency of sodium and chlorine ions, performing a rehydrating effect and increasing the volume of circulating blood, increasing diuresis, and calcium chloride replenishes the deficiency of calcium ions, reducing the permeability of the vascular wall and thus preventing the development of inflammatory reactions. The article presents a detailed analysis of the use of rheosorbilact with an emphasis on kidney disease and their function. Rheosorbilact can be used effectively and safely at a dose of 200 ml at a body weight of less than 60 kg and up to 400ml at a body weight of more than 60 kg twice a day at an estimated glomerular filtration rate of more than 45 ml/min/m2 and no decompensated heart failure and stage III hypertension.

Published: July 2021

Kidney transplantation is considered the gold standard in the treatment of end-stage renal disease and can be performed if cadaveric or living related donor organ is available. AB0 incompatible kidney transplantation can lead to antibody-mediated rejection. There are a number of methods in the world for the elimination of anti-A/B antibodies to prepare for AB0 incompa­tible kidney transplantation, each of which has its advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, further researches are needed in this direction to determine the optimal method in each case. Particular attention is paid to modern methods of anti-A/B antibodies elimination, protocols for managing such patients, and their comparison. The possibilities of using these methods in Ukraine are analyzed.

Published: July 2021

El objetivo del presente artículo es reconstruir el proceso de organización de la educación técnica en México desde 1915 hasta la creación del Instituto Politécnico Nacional (IPN) en 1936. Este periodo fue fructífero en reflexiones, debates y políticas educativas para encauzar la educación técnica, de acuerdo con el discurso posrevolucionario de transformación agrícola e industrial del país. Tal propósito se caracterizó por el diálogo productivo entre funcionarios públicos, maestros, obreros y campesinos. El periodo culminó con la creación del IPN, el cual condensó las ideas de educación técnica del momento al ordenar un gran número de escuelas técnicas de los niveles prevocacional, vocacional y superior en un solo sistema.

Authors: Preciado de Alba Carlos Armando , Trejo Pinedo Virginia
Published: July 2021

Examinamos el proceso de elección de diputados para las Cortes de Madrid en la provincia de Guanajuato en 1820 y mostramos su compleja organización y realización en distintos niveles. Estos comicios se llevaron a cabo en un contexto de alta efervescencia debido a que la restaurada Constitución de Cádiz había creado expectativas de que las demandas políticas y económicas de los guanajuatenses —entre ellas la creación de una diputación provincial— serían atendidas y resueltas en las Cortes. La aspiración a tener esa representación política y el interés por el trabajo parlamentario se volvieron una constante en la región entonces. Así, sugerimos que el análisis de este proceso genera nuevas explicaciones de la transición del régimen virreinal al inicio de la vida nacional.
Plataformización y gestión "platafórmica": una discusión de las condiciones de trabajo en una plataforma cualificada
Authors: Álvarez-Hernández Gloria , Pérez-Zapata Oscar
Published: July 2021

La plataformización puede considerarse el penúltimo paso en la flexibilización y digitalización del trabajo, también para el trabajo cualificado. Utilizamos el caso de una plataforma cualificada líder en el sector de la educación online (VIPKid) y 429 mensajes de profesores/trabajadores en la web de reseñas Indeed para discutir tendencias clave en las condiciones de trabajo. Aunque los discursos sobre la plataformización retoman las promesas de flexibilidad y autonomía de la digitalización, en la práctica, aparecen limitadas por una creciente incertidumbre e intensificación del trabajo que presionan la salud de los trabajadores. La gestión "platafórmica" (más allá de la algorítmica) se apoya en orquestar un conjunto recursos (simultáneamente controles) que en interacción con una gestión de sí mismo conllevan una intensificación del trabajo cognitiva y emocional. La plataformización del trabajo necesita una regulación que, más allá del estatus legal del trabajador, incorpore una visión más sociológica del trabajo en las plataformas.

The Role of Rhythm and Metre in the Style and Genre Formation in B. Rachmanin’s Prose
Authors: Tsurueva Petimat Sh. , Mineralova Irina G.
Published: July 2021

The issues of rhythm and metre in prose of 1960-1970s reflect the experiments of young writers not only within the form. The search for new genres and ways of expressing new content are diverse. The article deals with literary works by Boris Leonidovich Rachmanin, the author of poetry collections, stories, screenwriter, who boldly created a new internal form of his works using both possibilities of meter and rhythm in his prose, which was different from the works of his predecessors in the Silver Age or those who worked in the Russian diaspora. The analysis of works A Letter, The Action Takes Place on the Other Planet and others shows the functional potential of special rhythm and melody of prose in the individual style of the writer and also outlines semasiological approaches in the analysis of a literary work in general. Comparison of literary works by B. Rachmanin with the works by A. Bely or I.A. Bunin as his predecessors and Yustinas Martsinkevichus as his contemporary author gives an idea of the tradition Rachmanin inherited and the cultural style of the epoch in which the writer worked.

The article raises the issues of scientific reception of such a phenomenon as media culture. The authors offer their interpretation of media culture as a special type of culture of the information society in the broadest understanding of this phenomenon. The authors consider the concepts of media and culture and establishes their functional corresponddence. The contemporary stage of media development is characterized by a combination of communication and information intentions: classical media and mass communication media, including new media, blogs, social networks, as well as digital copies of non-network artifacts and their network modifications. The result of these media communications is a media text in the broadest interpretation of this concept. According to the authors concept, contemporary media culture realizes itself in two main aspects. In the applied sense, a media culture is a form of representation and digitalization of classical and network cultural units. In the global sense, media culture is understood as an aesthetic and axiological sphere of societys life, in which culture combines the value and artistic heritage, using the information and communication channels of the media for its representation in politics, education, and culture itself.

Authors: Salazar Baena Verónica
Published: July 2021

Este artículo aborda las transferencias culturales y la apropiación política de la cultura visual en los territorios de la monarquía hispánica. Para tal fin, se utilizan las fuentes documentales emanadas de las celebraciones con ocasión del nacimiento de los príncipes Baltazar Carlos (1631) y Carlos II (1663), celebraciones que tuvieron lugar en Quito, importante centro urbano del norte andino, y Pamplona, en el nororiente del Nuevo Reino de Granada, respectivamente. Si bien estas fuentes son textuales y carecen de representaciones gráficas, consideramos que la característica principal de estas crónicas festivas es que son generadoras de visualidad a partir de la textualidad, razón por la cual funcionan como un relato visual también conocido como écfrasis. En estecaso en concreto, se trata de un relato visual construido por los encomenderos  con la intención de reivindicar su rol en un contexto de especial conflicto con las autoridades imperiales.
Aprendendo com roteiros a comunicar por carta geográfica: cultura visual institucional de sertões e fronteiras conquistadas (século XVIII)
Authors: Moura Denise A. S.
Published: July 2021

Sertanistas e missionários na América do século xviii continuaram uma tradição castelhana de cultura visual baseada em esboços, desenhos de itinerário e mapas que comunicaram seu sentido de espaço, território e lugar vinculado às suas memórias. Com o peso político alcançado pelos mapas nesse período, devido às disputas pela definição dos limites territoriais ibéricos, a Coroa portuguesa se viu diante da necessidade de superar sua condição deficitária de mapas das terras interiores. Para tanto, mobilizou governadores que, ao implantarem políticas de mapeamento do território, também desenvolveram uma cultura visual institucional que se apropriou dos conhecimentos geográficos gerados pelos roteiros e pelos mapas de jesuítas, e os utilizou na confecção de suas imagens cartográficas com o objetivo de comunicar e traduzir campos e sertões para uma agenda imperial de sertões e fronteiras conquistadas, como mostram a correspondênciaoficial e os mapas de época.

The emergence of the Fourth Industrial Revolution is distinguished by the utilization of new technologies and inventions such as the artificial intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT), automated machine, and so on. The use of these technologies alleviates many aspects of human life and brings massive changes to the human lifestyle. It has both positive and negative effects which then leads to new issues and challenges requiring evaluation from Shariah’s perspectivesThis paper aims to discuss Shariah’s perspective on the fourth industrial revolution and solutions to the arising issues from the maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah approach. The researcher adopts descriptive methodology to discuss the phenomenon and inductive methodology to resolve the issues in the light of Shariah. The paper concludes that Islam encourages knowledge development and invention as the term ‘ilm and related words, mentioned in the Qur’ān numerously as compared to other holy scriptures. However, any inventions must be consistent and in harmony with the objectives of Shariah and not conflicting with them. With the observation of conditions and guidelines as outlined in this paper, utilization of the inventions in the Fourth Industrial Revolution may serve as a mean to realize the objectives of Shariah and will greatly benefit humankind. In the event of any issues, solutions must be derived by exercising legal reasoning (ijtihād) with consideration of the modern sciences and contemporary context. The effort in renewing the legal reasoning (tajdīd) may be exercised in collective form by the experts in Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) and other sciences collaboratively.

Urbanisation has created a disparity between the standard of living in urban and rural areas. Subsequently, more and more people are migrating from the rural areas to the urban areas due to the lure of wider economic opportunities and greater access to infrastructure and facilities. Unfortunately, massive urban migration gradually limited economic opportunities for migrants, and this has led to wide-spread urban poverty. This article will explain the phenomenon of urban poverty and discuss urban poverty eradication from an Islamic perspective. This study employs the qualitative approach by applying the inductive, deductive and comparative content analysis method where the primary data are derived from library research, as well as from previous studies. The study found that the authority and community both play an important role in addressing urban poverty. This can be addressed through several measures of poverty eradication implemented in Islam, which include correcting belief about the economy, ensuring a balance wealth distribution from the rich to the poor, and changing attitudes and motivation at the ground level. In this regard, the authority should focus on creating a balanced distribution of wealth, facilitating a strategic economic management plan, adopting priority-based economies, effective implementation of poverty eradication policies, adoption of growth strategies, improving basic facilities and focusing on institutional roles.

Published: July 2021

This study researches into the legal theory of fiqh al-aqaliyyah and Muslim minorities in a contemporary non-Muslim community. In order to achieve this objective, the paper examines the fiqh al-aqalliyyah, its legal position in Islamic jurisprudence, its legal instruments and its applicability to lessen the physical, social, financial and emotional hardships or difficulties encountered by Muslim minorities who find themselves in an unfamiliar non-Muslim environment. Research method used in this study is expository, descriptive and analytical in order to showcase the applicability of fiqh al-aqalliyyah in the modern legal theory within the context-specific and needs-based neo-ijtihād legal rulings for Muslim minorities. Conclusively, the paper makes findings that context-specific and needs-based neo-ijtihād legal rulings of fiqh al-aqalliyyah is still viable in this contemporary period to arrest new jurisprudential challenges facing the Muslim minorities in non-Muslim communities. Also neo-ijtihād exercise of fiqh al-aqalliyyah from a competent Islamic jurists and legal theorists of a particular society is meant for that society only and should not be given general or universal application so as not to cause confusion in the context-specific and needs-based jurisprudential response. Finally, the study recommends that Muslim minorities should make use of the Islamic jurists and legal theorists’ neo-Ijtihād exercise of fiqh al-aqaliyyah which are peculiar to their environment in procuring solutions to some of the contemporary Islamic jurisprudential challenges facing them in the non-Muslim community.
LEADERSHIP CHARACTERS IN MALAYSIAN RELIGIOUS-NGOs: AN INTRODUCTORY OVERVIEW

Leadership is a key function and process to unlock the effectiveness and enhancement of any organization’s development, including Religious-NGOs (RNGOs). This can be attained via three main characteristics, which are charismatic, transformational and servant leadership. Previous research has proved that these characteristics are relevant for NGOs, but little was found for RNGOs. RNGO is a form of NGO that is well-known for its active role in contributing to a harmonious and religious society. This paper focused on the concept of leadership in RNGOs and an introductory to the identity of Malaysian Islamic RNGOs that are diverse by ethnic identities. This study was qualitative in nature and depended heavily on existing literature and official reports. The study found that all three selected Islamic RNGOs that represent the Malay Muslims, Chinese Muslims and Indian Muslims adopt and practice charismatic, transformational and servant leadership in executing their organizations’ objectives, which could possibly be a yardstick to effective RNGO leadership development in the future.
David Burliuk in Color and Rhyme Magazine. Article 1. Painter and Poet on the Crossroads of Cultures
Authors: Arustamova Anna A.
Published: July 2021

The paper traces David Burliuk’s evolution as a poet, essayist and editor in the United States, where he began his career in the pro-Soviet Russian émigré newspaper Russky Golos and then switched to his personal project — Color and Rhyme, the Burliuk family magazine. The paper examines some strategies of Burliuk's self-presentation in Color and Rhyme; since in this edition Burliuk is presented as a poet and an artist, the paper analyzes, how both of these roles of Burliuk relate to each other in the texts published in the magazine. Focusing on the English-speaking reader, Burliuk emphasized the European context of his artistic biography; other contributors that published their articles and reviews in the Color and Rhyme stressed his cultural affinity with Paul Gaugin, Expressionists, Fauvists and characterized Burliuk as “American Van Gogh”. Special attention is paid to the ways of representation of American poetry in Color and Rhyme. Burliuk’s magazine published works by members of some New York poetic communities, such as The New York Poetry Forum and The Raven Poetry Circle of Greenwich Village. In particular, it is described how Burliuk as an editor represented beginners or littleknown authors in the earlier periods of his editorial activity. The article shows that Color and Rhyme magazine can be viewed not only as a tool for “promoting” D. Burliuk's art, but also as a chronicle of his activity as a writer and artist.
Wagnerian Contexts and Wagner’s Codes of T.S. Eliot’s Poetry, 1910-20s
Authors: Ushakova Olga M.
Published: July 2021

The paper deals with the analysis of reception and poetic transformation of aesthetic concepts and music ideas of Richard Wagner (1813–1883) in the works by T. S. Eliot (1888–1965). The research material includes the poems of the 1910-20s (“Opera”, “Paysage Triste”, “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock”, The Waste Land) as well the essay “Dante” and lectures “The Varieties of Metaphysical Poetry”, “The Music of Poetry”. The research is aimed to solve the problem of genesis of Eliot's Wagnerianism and identify the Wagnerian codes for his poetic texts. Following the representatives of literary Wagnerianism Eliot assimilated the ideas of revolutionary art, anti-bourgeois pathos, ideas of synthesis of arts, indivisibility of poetry and music, mythopoesis, etc. The poetry of the 1910–20s reflected Eliot’s interest in a wide cultural context (Wagnerianism and “Wagnerovschina”), Neo-Mythologism, etc. The poetry of this period is characterized by representation of Wagnerian “situations” and plots (the Grail plot), themes, composition strategies (system of leitmotifs, multi-layered text, etc.), music techniques (atonality, “endless melody”, suggestiveness, etc.), the direct quotations from Wagner’s works, etc. The author of the paper suggests that The Waste Land was created as a Gesamtkunstwerk, a complex multi-level poetic intermedial structure incorporating the elements of different arts (music, painting, scenography, dance, etc.).
Writers’ Letters to George Sylvester Viereck in a Private Collection
Authors: Molodiakov Vasilii E.
Published: July 2021

German-born American poet, novelist, journalist and editor George Sylvester Viereck (1884 –1962) during his almost 60-year literary career (his first poem was published in 1898) befriended, met and corresponded with hundreds of contemporaries, including world famous persons. His first biographer Elmer Gertz wrote in 1954, “One should go through Viereck’s correspondence with the great personalities of his time in order to learn the full extent of the admiration they expressed for him. Alas, that correspondence is scattered; but excerpts from it can be found in the catalogues of various autograph dealers and should be preserved”. Liberated from prison in 1947 Viereck was not able to restore his previous position in literary world, was in need of money and had to sell autographs from his personal archive. This publication includes letters of four writers addressed to Viereck and dealing with his literary and editorial work. All of them are preserved in the author’s private collection and are published in English for the first time. In Russian translation one letter is published for the first time, another one was previously published, two letters were quoted. Journalist, writer, and politician Brand Whitlock (1869 –1934) followed Viereck’s journalistic activities as well as his Decadent poetry. English author and poet Richard Le Gallienne (1866 –1947), being a living incarnation of the “naughty nineties” for Viereck, valued contributing to his magazine The International. Known as the Dean of American Biographers, famous writer Gamaliel Bradford (1863 –1932) refused to support Viereck’s protest against the prohibition of his novel My First 2000 Years in the Irish Free State. Poet, artist and filmmaker Ferdinand Earle (1878 –1951) remained faithful to his long friendship with Viereck even when the latter was emprisoned.

Presentamos un estudio detallado de las propiedades estructurales, los estados, electrónicos y magnéticos de las perovskitas del tipo BiRO3, con R=Fe, Co, Ni, en su estructura cúbica, con grupo de simetría Pm-3m. En la obtención de los resultados se utilizó el método de Spin Polarizado de Ondas Planas Aumentadas y Linealizadas (SP-FP-LAPW) dentro del marco de la teoría DFT. El estudio estructural consistió en calcular las energías de cohesión en función del volumen y mediante su ajuste a la ecuación de estado de Murnaghan se determinaron el módulo de volumen, el volumen de equilibrio y de éste el valor de constante de red. En el estudio de las características electrónicas se han determinado curvas de energía en contra del número de onda (k) y la densidad de estado (DOS) para cada polarización de spin.Palabras clave: perovskitas BiRO3 , DFT, propiedades electrónicas.
