Theatricality and synthetic image as means of staging memories
Authors: Maljković Sanja
Published: January 2024

In this article, I will recognise the acceptable form and methods of staging memories within theatre, relying on qualitative features and spatial and temporal characteristics of memories. Memory is an essential part of building one’s identity. Being so, actively reviewing the importance of past personal and collective experience is necessary for establishing a constructive relationship towards the future. Considering the qualitative features of memories and the means and reasons for creating memories, I will use theatricality as a potential theatrical approach and a method that I will call subjective. I will also try to define the synthetic image as a possible content of theatricality whose function is to express memories in the form of complex sensory material towards which we have both emotional and rational relationships. I will define the subjective method as being primarily inspired by the experience of Ariane Mnouchkine, Jerzy Grotowski and Pina Bausch, who placed intimate experience within a theatrical framework, whereby the emphasis is on the process of expressing the original human condition at the service of the play, without any reference to documentary theatre.

Harmodius and Aristogeiton. An Adapted Tyrannicide in the Greek Pre-revolutionary Theater
The tragedy Αρμόδιος και Αριστογείτων (Harmodius and Aristogeiton) is the most radical theatrical play performed by Greek amateur actors in Odessa in the years 1814-1820, since its subject is the tyrannicide as a legitimate resistance of citizens to power, when it arbitrarily abolishes natural law. The tragedy, first staged in 1819, was until now considered to be an original work of Georgios Lassanis (1793-1870), but my article proves that in fact it is a theatrical adaptation of a part of the novel Aristides und Themistocles (1792), written by the German scholar Ignaz Aurelius Feßler (1765-1839), a member of the Illuminati Order. A comparison of the novel with the ancient sources for the two tyrannicides shows that the changes made by the enthusiastic Kantian Feßler (mainly the concealment of the homoerotic character of the relationship between the two heroes) aimed to adapt the historical material to Kant’s conception that morality is based on the autonomy of the will. Lassanis kept the changes of Feßler and added some new inventions which emphasize even more the autonomy of the will as a condition of morality. The close relationship of Lassanis’ dramaturgy with his engagement as a member of the Filiki Etaireia becomes obvious not only in the choice of the subject of death for the homeland and democracy but is also manifest in his (pen-)name «Lyssanias». Lassanis’ nom de guerre is not a phonic variant of his name (as it has commonly been assumed until now) but rather refers to the verse of Aristophanes «Λυσανίαι πατρῴων μεγάλων κακῶν»; it therefore denotes one who liberates the homeland from sorrow and pain.

Additions, Supplements and Corrections to the Greek Bibliography (17th-19th Centuries)

The aim of this article, which presents some titles of old printed books, is to offer additions, supplements, and corrections to the Greek Bibliography (17th-19th centuries).The list of these titles is based mainly on the book collection of the convent of Zoodochos Pigi in Chora, Patmos, which has been recently inventoried. Furthermore, it is supplemented by a number of entries from the library of the Monastery of Saint John the Theologian.From these forty-eight entries, the first six concern uncatalogued editions –hence they are additions to the Greek Bibliography (one is an 18th century-edition, while the rest five date from the second half of the 19th century). As for the remaining forty-two entries, they are additions, corrections and remarks on editions known in the bibliography (17th-19th centuries).The entries concerning the uncatalogued editions are presented in full, while those of already known publications are presented in an abbreviated form, with the exception of those cases where the titles have been incorrectly catalogued. All entries include the precise number of folios or pages, and, when necessary, they present a detailed description of the contents, as well as further information. For all the cases in hand research and cross-checking have been conducted in the known printed bibliographies, as well as in the up-to-date electronic catalogue of the Greek Bibliography of the 19th century, provided by the Bibliology Workshop “Philippos Iliou”.

L’archive byzantine de Saint Jean le Théologien de Patmos au milieu du XVIIIe siècle

L’archive byzantine du monastère de Saint Jean le Théologien de Patmos est une de mieux conservées archives byzantines. Au XVIIIe siècle Patmos fut un centre important d’éducation et de culture. Pendant cette période les moines s’occupèrent de la conservation et du classement des documents de l’époque byzantine, afin de préserver le patrimoine du monastère. Dans ce cadre, ils ont dressé des catalogues. Nous éditons ici un catalogue qui date de 1740. Le catalogue commence avec le(s) testament(s) de saint Christodoulos et continue avec des documents impériaux, des actes de fonctionnaires et des actes patriarcaux. Le critère du classement est plutôt thématique. Dans cet article, nous essayons d’identifier les documents mentionnés dans le catalogue à des documents qui sont conservés jusqu’à nos jours, tâche qui n’est pas facile, vu que les renseignements fournis sont souvent vagues. La question qui se pose est de savoir si l’auteur du catalogue avait à sa disposition des documents latents aujourd’hui. Cela semble avoir été le cas, au moins pour les documents ayant affaire à la fortune du monastère en dehors de Patmos. Il est également probable que l’auteur ait tenu compte des originaux d’actes que nous connaissons seulement par des copies. L’identité de l’auteur est malheureusement inconnue. Il semble que le catalogue était l’æuvre d’un moine lettré qui avait accès à la bibliothèque. L’écriture présente des similarités avec l’écriture du moine Athanasios Chrysochοou qui a vécu dans la première moitié du XVIIIe siècle et fut mort en 1763. Il est connu pour son activité de copiste et de relieur. En plus, il a été ecclésiarque, dignité qui lui permettait d’avoir accès à la bibliothèque du monastère. Sans prétendre proposer une réponse définitive, il n’est pas impossible qu’Athanase soit l’auteur du catalogue.

Enlightenment and Revolution. The interconnection of two historiographical terms in their multiple contexts

This brief essay attempts to address in an exploratory way a challenging question concerning the interconnection of two controversial historiographical terms, Enlightenment and Revolution. The term Enlightenment is defined on the basis of Immanuel Kant’s classic discussion in his 1784 essay and the multiple uses and understandings of the term and idea of Enlightenment are followed through their subsequent transformations in the milestones of relevant historiography. The term Revolution and its changing meanings are also traced in the sources from Herodotus and Thucydides to the discussion of the «Age of Revolution».The unending controversies over the possible causal interconnection of the broad phenomena denoted by the two terms are acknowledged, but it is suggested that the whole issue might be more effectively clarified if considered in specific historical contexts, by reference to which questions of evidence and historiographical interpretation might be more practically controlled and appraised. It is further suggested that the consideration of the relevant issues in the historical context of Southeastern Europe offers a realistic possibility for an informed judgement on the broader theoretical question on the basis of the evidence of the concrete historicalexperience of the region. This kind of contextualization in turn may provide correctives to the occasional excesses of theoretical debates.

Assimakis et Andréas Zaimis à l’assemblée secrète de Vostitsa. Retournements révolutionnaires en janvier 1821

Du 26 au 29 janvier 1821, une assemblée secrète du Comité dirigeant de la Société des Amis (Philiki Hétairia) du Péloponnèse a été convoquée à Vostitsa (Aigion). L’Archimandrite Grigorios Dikaios (Papaflessas) y était présent, en tant que « représentant du Commissaire en chef de l’Autorité Suprême » de l’Hetairie, chargé, depuis l’année précédente, de l’organisation et de la direction du soulèvement au Péloponnèse. Les membres du Comité exécutif de l’Hetairie à Patras ont également participé à l’assemblée, ainsi qu’un certain nombre de primats des communes des vilaets de Patras, Vostitsa et Kalavryta, sélectionnés sans critère bien précis. En tout cas il s’agissait de membres initiés de l’Hétairie, de personnes plutôt proches au groupe local dominant de celle-ci. L’Assembléede Vostitsa est considérée par l’historiographie de la Révolution Hellénique comme le lieu du conflit entre le révolutionnaire ardent qu’était l’Archimandrite Papaflessas et l’Evêque de Patras Germanos, chef du Comité de l’Hétairie au Péloponnèse, qui hésitait et revendiquait de meilleures conditions matérielles pour l’organisation du soulèvement et la déclaration, sans équivoque, du soutien politique de la Russie. Cependant, et malgré cette discorde fondamentale, l’Assemblée de Vostitsa a abouti, apparemment, à un compromis nébuleux mais qui, pour l’essentiel, impliquait la décision d’entamer le Combat conformément aux plans del’Hétairie et même à la date du 25 mars 1821, déjà fixée. La suite des évènements révolutionnaires confirme l’hypothèse d’un aboutissement consensuel de l’Assemblée de Vostitsa et l’auteur de cette étude décèle les deux personnes, à savoir Andréas Zaimis et son ami intime Andréas Londos, qui ont été les facteurs principaux du changement des esprits au sein de l’Assemblée, de la neutralisation des oppositions et des hésitations, et du fait que l’esprit de la révolte a finalement prévalu. Sur le plan individuel, tous les deux émergent de cette étude comme récepteurs des messages des Lumières Grecques, mais aussi en tant que personnes qui manifestent une disponibilité liée à leur jeune âge et à l’enthousiasme provoqué au cours des travaux de l’Assemblée de Vostitsa par l’ardeur et l’éloquence de Papaflessas. On ne peut pas affirmer qu’il s’agit là d’une manifestation du conflit de générations typique des élites provinciales du système communal de l’Empire Ottoman ; cependant, si on la met en relation avec d’autres phénomènes analogues de radicalisme de l’époque, cette disponibilité démontre la multitude des courants d’idées qui travaillaientla société hellénique émergeante.

Marco Renieri et le Spectateur de l'Orient. Ses opinions sur l’hellénisme

Marco Renieri (Trieste 1815-Athènes 1897), éduqué à Venise, subit l’ascendant du Risorgimento italien. Installé définitivement en 1835 à Athènes il se familiarise avec l’idéologie du nouvel État. Lors du déclenchement de la guerre de Crimée en 1853, un groupe d’intellectuels grecs, hostiles à une politique favorable à la Russie, s’empressent de faire paraître la revue Le Spectateur de l’Orient dont M. Renieri sera le rédacteur en chef. Leur but était de renforcer les liens avec l’Οccident qui risquaient en ce moment de se détériorer. Renieri traite des particularités de la société grecque et pense qu’au cours de la domination ottomane la religion a sauvé l’hellénisme et que l’organisation communale prépara le cadre institutionnel pour l’indépendence nationale. Il est préoccupé par la question du grec moderne en tant que moyen linguistique international,ce qui le rattache à G. d’Eichthal et à bien d’autres philologues français, allemands et anglais de son époque. À travers le prisme de son opposition aux interventions étrangères dans la politique de son pays, il met en avant le personnage du patriarche Cyrille Loukaris dans une pièce de théâtre intitulée « La jeunesse de Lucari. Drame historique en cinq actes » etdans son étude « Cyrille Lucari, ou l’Église grecque pendant la guerre de trente ans ». Exprimant d’une part son penchant pour les idées libérales de l’Occident et d’autre part son inquiétude pour l’epanouissement du slavisme, Renieri se prononce pour la neutralité de la Grèce. Il s’oriente vers une théorie centrée sur la reconnaissance de la position avantageuse de l’hellénisme moderne dans l’établissement d’un équilibre permettant la compossibilité entre la tradition culturelle et politique de l’Occident, à laquelle l’hellénisme appartient, et la Russie sa coreligionnaire.

Publisher N. P. Inglessis and the magazine Eva (1923-1924)

Publisher of one French and five Greek-language publications, daily and weekly, during the 1920s, N. P. Inglessis has remained to this day a rather invisible case in the history of the Greek Press. Born in the late 1870s in Constantinople, he studied at the Chalki School of Commerce, and probably in London, and worked as an employee and then manager of the Bank of Athens before turning to publishing. My research in the Historical Archive of the National Bank of Greece provided biographicaland financial material, which allows us to assume the origin of the funds that supported the turn in his professional life. His publications were short-lived, but pioneering and insightful, seeking to fill thematic gaps, and reach the interested audiences. His popular magazine Eva, presented in more detail here, addressed a large number of women readers and often popularized positions of the women’s movement, especially those related to work, spreading them to wider and lower social strata, whocould not access the original collectives and theoretical discourses. Eva has probably worked as a model for similar publications, which circulated the following years in Greece. Accordingly, Inglessis’ Kinimatografos/Cinema, the first Greek magazine of its kind, dedicated to film, had also a clearly targeted readership, as well as his last and final attempt, Athlitika Chronika/Athletic Chronicles. Interestingly, N. P. Inglessis was the father of the first Greek film critic Iris Skaravaiou, indicating a path through which women could enter the journalist profession.

Published: January 2024

Environmental pollution is one of the most important problems in urban environment. Mosses are good indicatorsof air pollution. In Estonia, heavy metals have been measured from Pleurozium schreberi and Hylocomium splendens, whichdo not grow in areas of Tallinn with a higher pollution load. In the present study, Cu, Fe and Cd were measured from fivemoss species growing in contaminated as well less polluted areas of Tallinn. Based on stationary and street pollution sourceinventory and air pollution dispersion modelling, the long-term average concentrations of fine particles (PM10) and nitrogenoxides (NOx) in air were estimated. The work revealed that it is possible to find a moss species that is common in Tallinnand grows in both polluted and less polluted areas – Syntrichia ruralis, which is the most suitable species for bioindicationbased on this work. Moss species Ceratodon purpureus accumulated the most Cd, Cu, and Fe, then Brachytheciumrutabulum/Sciuro-hypnum curtum, and Rhytidiadelphus squarrosus the least. Statistically significant higher Fe concentrationswere in the Syntrichia ruralis, compared to the Sciuro-hypnum curtum and Rhytidiadelphus squarrosus. The Syntrichia ruralisalso had significantly higher Cd content compared to the Brachythecium rutabulum/Sciuro-hypnum curtum. The results ofthe GLM analysis showed that the content of various heavy metals depends on the moss species and the degree of fine particlesin the environment, and it didn't depend on whether the moss grows on the soil or a hard substrate such as concrete, stoneor asphalt.

Six species are new to the flora of Estonian bryophytes since the last additions: Bryum ruderale, Entosthodonfascicularis and Plenogemma phyllantha have been found during recent fieldworks; Encalypta driva is a newly described speciesand Lewinskya fastigiata is a new taxonomical combination. Moerckia flotoviana replaces the species Moerckia hibernica sinceall herbaria specimens are re-identified. After additions and re-arrangements, the number of bryophyte species known fromEstonia has risen to 618. For all new species, Estonian names are given, and they are evaluated against IUCN criteria. Twoof the species were included in category DD, because of shortage of data; Lewinskya fastigiata was evaluated as LC, andEncalypta driva and Plenogemma phyllantha as VU. The IUCN category of Moerckia flotoviana remained as it was for Moerckiahibernica (LC).
Journals of semiotics in the world revisited – and proposing a new list anno 2023
Authors: Sørensen Bent , Thellefsen Torkild , Nurma Dewi Amalia
Published: January 2024

We provide a list of semiotic journals in the world anno 2023. Our article is an expanded follow-up on Kalevi Kull and Timo Maran’s list of semiotic journals from 2013. The article finds that in 2023 there are 66 active semiotic journals in the world; hence, 11 new journals have been launched since 2013. Furthermore, there are 19 semiotic journals currently registered in the SCImago Journal Ranking database (2021 data). The article traces the development of the registration during 1999–2021 and finds that there has been a positive development in the period concerning the total number of citable documents and documents cited at least once, when we look at the semiotic journals as a whole. This is seen as an indication not only of the growth in the scientific output of the semiotic journals but also of an increase in their quality. Finally, in the period from 1964 to 2023 only nine semiotic journals (or 12 percent out of 75 journals) ceased publication. The article optimistically concludes that the development of the journals of semiotics in the world that has taken place during the last ten years points toward how the journals continue to be a stable platform for the future development of the semiotic field.

The use of new drugs on productive animals is possible only after identifying the long-term effects of the use of substances included in the composition on the functional state of organs, tissues and systems. As a result, the goal of our work was to study the chronic toxicity of the developed composition and the possibility of using it on highly productive cows in the treatment of mastitis. The studied composition was developed at the I.Ya. Postovsky Insititute of Organic Synthesis of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciencesand corresponds to the composition: silicon glycerolates – 3,0%, nisin – 0,3%, glycerin – 10%, distilled water – up to 100 %. Chronic toxicity studies were performed on female non-linear white laboratory rats (n=40) using hematological, biochemical, pathomorphological and histological research methods. When conducting hematological studies, it was found that the indicators of the composition of the blood elements of laboratory rats when using the studied composition in different dosages were within the limits. A study of the biochemical parameters of the blood of laboratory animals receiving the composition at a dose of 500 mg/kg and 1000 mg / kg found that the metabolic parameters corresponded to physiological values. Feeding of the studied composition at a dose of 750 mg / kg led to changes in the form of an increase in the enzymatic activity of alkaline phosphatase, a decrease in cholesterol, however, the data obtained cannot confirm the negative effect of the studied dose on the liver, due to the absence of pathological changes in this organ at the cellular level. Histological studies have established that the developed composition can cause changes in organs depending on the dosage used. Based on the research results, we determined that the composition can be recommended for clinical trials on productive animal species at a dose of no more than 500 mg/kg. The use of a dose of 750 mg / kg is recommended to be used with caution in animals with severe liver dysfunction. During further tests, it is necessary to refrain from the critical dose of 1000 mg / kg, which leads to deeper changes in the organs.

The purpose of the research was to study the associations of genetic polymorphism of proteins and enzymes of blood serum (albumin, transferrin, and esterase) on the quality of freshly obtained and cryopreserved semen of breeding stallions, taking into account their breed characteristics. The authors divided horses into four breed groups, taking into account their characteristics – riding horses, Orlov trotters, prize-winning trotters, and draft horses. A comparative assessment of 154 stallions revealed no significant differences in the quality of semen from different breed groups. For the first time, the influence coefficient (Fisher coefficient) of different genetic variants of proteins and enzymes on the semen parameters of stallions was analyzed and calculated. At the same time, the authors revealed the multidirectional effect of the same alleles of albumin, transferrin, and carboxylesterase on semen activity in different breeds. Thus, the presence of the albumin allele B (ALBB) had a positive effect on the mobility of fresh semen of stallions of riding breeds but a negative effect on stallions of Orlov trotters and draft horses. The heterozygous state of alleles revealed a positive effect on semen parameters. The analysis of variance of all examined stallions showed the highest level of the esterase locus (ESI) on the mobility of fresh semen and the albumin locus (ALBA) – on the mobility of frozen-thawed semen. The reliability of it is close to a statistically significant value. The results obtained suggest that specific gene complexes and associations with productive traits are formed in breeds under the influence of breeding. It must be taken into account as additional criteria for controlling the breeding process.

Dairy cattle of the red steppe breed are adapted to arid conditions, have high adaptive qualities and are still in demand for breeding in agricultural organizations. The article describes the characteristics of the population of cows of the red steppe breed according to the main indicators of milk quality in the farms of the Stavropol Territory. The mass fraction of fat and protein, the amount of fatty acids in milk, as well as the correlation coefficients between milk indicators and paratypical factors were determined. The research results have shown that milk corresponds to the breed characteristics characteristic of this breed of cows. The average annual dairy productivity of a herd of cows located on the border of the northeastern slope of the Stavropol Upland and the southwestern part of the Manych Lowland (n = 380-430 heads, herd I) is 4.0-4.3 thousand kg/head, and a herd of cows located in the northeastern part of the steppe plain of the Stavropol Territory (n = 600-636, herd II), respectively, the milk productivity is 4.1-4.4 thousand kg / head of milk. The average annual fat content in milk in cows was in the range of 4.08-4.45%, while in cows of the II herd this indicator was higher by 9.5%. The average annual protein content in milk, respectively, was at the level of 3.32-3.63%, while in cows in the II herd this indicator was higher by 9.2%. The percentage ratio of unsaturated to saturated fatty acids was 44,9% in cows in the II herd and 58% in cows in the I stad.

The paper presents the results of assessing the carcinogenic risk to public health from consuming drinking water contaminated with priority chemicals at the level of their hygienic standards. A comparative analysis of SanPiN 1.2.3685-21 “Hygienic Standards and Requirements for Ensuring the Safety and (or) Harmlessness of Environmental Factors for Humans” and repealed SanPiN 2.1.4.1074-01 “Drinking Water and Water Supply to Populated Areas. Drinking Water. Hygienic Requirements for Water Quality of Centralized Drinking Water Supply Systems. Quality Control” valid since March 01, 2021, is carried out. Maximum allowable concentrations of carcinogenic chemical substances and values of slope factors and risk potential factors have been analyzed. A comparative analysis of SanPiN 1.2.3685-21 that is currently in force and the US EPA “2018 Edition of the Drinking Water Standards and Health Advisories Tables” has been conducted. The average daily intake doses of each studied substance in drinking water at the level of maximum permissible concentrations were determined. It has been found that, despite the tightening of standards for some substances, the content of many carcinogens in water at the maximum allowable concentrations or below can lead to high values of potential carcinogenic risk, and a list of activities is needed to complement the current standards regarding the quality of water.

The paper is devoted to assessing the level of physical activity of some population groups. Researching the level of physical activity of the population in the conditions of the physical, social and economic environment surrounding it, without taking into account direct sports, provides an important tool that serves to integrate the efforts of interdepartmental interaction in the implementation of federal and regional programs aimed at improving the health of citizens. The research was conducted using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). The purpose of the research was to assess the level of physical activity and the degree of motivation to change it among the region’s adult population in the conditions of changing hiking to driving a car. Surveys on the level of physical activity were conducted on an anonymous, voluntary basis. The research results showed that about a third of respondents experienced a constant lack of movement and confirmed that the adult population pays insufficient attention to the simplest preventive measures to improve their health, one of which is physical activity.

Data on the relationship of headaches with Internet addiction is rather inconsistent.

Purpose: to establish common risk factors for the development of various types of Internet addiction and primary types of headache.

Materials and methods. 5195 schoolchildren aged 11-18 in Siberia were examined. Internet addiction and its types were determined using the Chen questionnaire, Game Addiction Scale and The Social Media Disorder Scale; Type of headache (migraine or tension headache) – according to the questionnaire of S.Yu. Tereshchenko, based on The International Classification of Headache Disorders, 3rd edition (beta version), 2013; Mental disorders – in computerized testing in the program “The Development and Well-Being Assessment” (DAWBA, R. Goodman et al.)

Results. It has been established that Internet addiction occurs 6 times more often in migraine and 3 times more often in tension headache. However, this relationship is only observed for Social Media Disorder. The connection of headaches with Game Addiction has not been revealed. At the same times headaches (especially migraine) and Internet addiction (predominantly social media disorder) have a common comorbid pathology and risk factors: recurrent abdomen pain, back pain, insomnia, daytime sleepiness, gastroesophageal reflux disease, asthenic syndrome, emotional problems, hyperactivity, high prognosis of mental pathology.

Understanding the metabolic pathways of regulation and interaction of neurotrophic factors is interesting from the point of view of discussing neurotrophic factors as biological markers reflecting the dynamics and effectiveness of the rehabilitation process. The purpose was to analyze the features of production, metabolism, mechanisms of action of neurotrophic factors, which can explain the possibility of active involvement of the main neurotrophic factors in the rehabilitation process. The article presents an analysis of the literature on the metabolism of brain-derived neurotrophic factors (brain growth factor BDNF, neurotrophins NT-3 and NT4/5, fibroblast growth factor FGF-1 and FGF-2, nerve growth factor NGF, insulin-like growth factor IGF1, glial neurotrophic factor GDNF, ciliary neurotrophic factor CNTF). Information is given about the features of their production, the relationship between profactors and mature forms, as well as the specifics of interaction with receptors.

Conclusion. A statistically significant drop in the levels of neurotrophic factors during the rehabilitation therapy of children with cerebral palsy using the «exohand-2» software and hardware complex reflects the active involvement of neurotrophic factors in these processes. The spectrum of biological effects of neurotrophic factors allows us to consider the entire multicomponent mechanism that occurs in the brain in the process of functional restructuring as sufficient for rehabilitation recovery.
FEED ALLOWANCE FOR HOLSTEIN COWS DURING LACTATION AND DRY PERIODS (SAKHALIN ISLAND)
Authors: Rozhkova-Timina Inna O.
Published: January 2024

The study presents the results of a survey of agricultural enterprises and peasant farms in the Sakhalin Oblast. The authors conducted the visual estimation of the feed consumption and cows’ overall health, revealed the chemical analysis of primary zootechnical parameters of the feed, compared the results with the rates and previous data, and gave recommendations. Moreover, the authors assessed the fodder, feed allowance and compared it with the nutritional rates using the software “Feeding rations” developed by the “Plinor limited liability company”. Furthermore, one can identify that the daily milk yield of Holstein cows doubled in the period 2001–2010, but the feed allowance of the Holstein cows during lactation and dry periods still did not meet nutritional requirements. The low nutritional value of green forage is caused by the small amount of legumes in the herbage. One should prepare winter forage earlier to improve the quality of ration (hay, haylage, silage). Mowing grasses ten days later than the optimal time leads to a protein decrease in forage by 30%–35%. It is crucial to balance the feed allowance with biological and mineral supplements, adding grain mixture or sunflower cake.

Published: January 2024

Background. Potatoes are considered to be easily susceptible to infections, including viral diseases, which is one of the reasons for the decrease in yield. To date, the only ways to obtain and reproduce healthy potato material are technologies based on meristem-tissue cultures.

Purpose. The aim of this study was to improve approaches to the release of potato from viral infection using in vitro culture.

Materials and methods. The objects were tubers, microplants and microtubers of six cultivars of potato affected by PVS, PVA, PVM, PVX and PVY viruses in various combinations. Viruses were eliminated from plant material by thermotherapy at a temperature of 38.0±0.5°C. Depending on the cultivar and object, the exposure was 10-25 days.

Results. The study showed that the use of potato microtubers as an object for thermotherapy makes it possible to release plant material from viruses in 25.0-50.0% of cases, depending on the pathogen. The advantage of this virus eradication scheme is, firstly, in the increase in the regenerative capacity of explants up to 32.9% due to the exclusion of the sterilization stage after thermotherapy and the absence of apical meristem culture as an additional method of sanitation. Secondly, the efficiency of the release of plant material from viruses increases due to a longer exposure to high temperature up to 25 days.

Conclusion. The use of this approach made it possible to eliminate not only individual viruses, but also their complex, for example, PVA + PVX, PVM + PVX, PVX + PVS, PVM + PVX + PVS.

Introduction and purpose. Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease that affects many children and adults around the world. It has been also empirically known that some environmental factors such as exposure to the sun can be beneficial for patients with AD. The purpose of this literature review is to present positive impact, as well as challenges and risks of heliotherapy and phototherapy on patients suffering from AD.

Material and methods. The article is a review of publications obtained from the PubMed database and published between 2017-2023. Based on the keywords "phototherapy" "heliotherapy"and "atopic dermatitis", 14 articles were selected. Finally, 1 meta-analysis and 3 observational studies were included in the rewiev.

Brief description of the state of knowledge. People with AD have a compromised skin barrier, which favors infiltration by activated Th2 cells, and their cytokine, causing thickening of the skin. It makes management of AD challenging. It is known that most patients’ skin condition improves due to sun exposure. This is why an artificial UV radiation (UVR) is employed for the treatment. The idea is to administrate a non-ionizing radiation to the skin. Both sunlight and artificial light have a significant immunosuppressive effect on the skin.

Summary. Phototherapy as well as heliotherapy improved skin condition of people suffering from AD. It was appreciable by the end of few weeks of studies and also afer 3 months, reflected by improvement in PO-SCORAD, VAS and DLQI scales. During some of the studies there have been incidents of side-effects. More research is necessary to define a long-term effect of this kind of treatment and the role of chronic and prolonged therapy of AD.

Authors: Noah Weiss Michael , Ohrem Sigurd
Published: January 2024

In this article the authors discuss whether and how philosophical practice in general and the Socratic dialogue method in particular can be understood, not only as a form of counseling or education, but also as a form of research. For this purpose references and comparisons to so-called participatory action research are made, on the one hand. On the other, by means of several short case studies, a project about Socratic dialoguing is presented, which was conducted at so-called Norwegian folk high schools and which should point out the inherent research-character of philosophical practice.

Tomando um LADO: formação crítica e prática de liberdade no Laboratório de Design contra Opressões
Authors: Bizotto dos Santos William , Mazzarotto Marco , Van Amstel Frederick
Published: January 2024

A noção de projeto como solução de problemas vela a dimensão existencial do projeto, que inclui seus interesses políticos, culturais e históricos. A negação dessa dimensão na formação em design leva a uma práxis aparentemente neutra, porém, em sua essência, vinculada aos interesses dos grupos sociais dominantes. Esta pesquisa apresenta a perspectiva dialético-existencial sobre o projeto de Álvaro Vieira Pinto e Paulo Freire para fundamentar a práxis extensionista do Laboratório de Design contra Opressões (LADO) na [omitido]. A descrição desta práxis desvela caminhos para vivenciar a liberdade no campo de design como uma prática coletiva de comunicação e diálogo entre universidade e movimentos sociais.
Evaluating the NMC proficiencies framework: perspectives of students and educators 5 years on
Authors: Whaley Viki , Cooper-Caiger Lee , Hay Jonathan , Stone Jacqueline
Published: January 2024

It is now half a decade since the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) launched Future Nurse: Standards of Proficiency for Registered Nurses. Applicable nationally, this proficiencies framework dictates specific elements of nursing praxis that all pre-registrants must achieve in order to qualify as registered nurses, before going on to gain employment in either the NHS or adjacent healthcare providers. The NMC proficiencies framework is subdivided into seven proficiencies and two annexes, each of which contains multiple specific criteria detailing the skillset pre-registrants must demonstrate, in order to be signed off by a qualified educator. Subsequently, in the last 5 years the standards have brought about significant alterations to the delivery of nursing programmes at UK higher education institutions. This article reports the results of a pair of service evaluations, which gathered feedback from both pre-registrant students and educators in relation to their direct experiences of the NMC's proficiencies framework. The authors compare the contemporary perspectives collated here against earlier academic appraisals of the guidance framework, in order to outline its past and present reception at the level of delivery.

Multidisciplinary working in a community HIV specialist service
Authors: Parker-Donne Kizzy
Published: January 2024

Objective:

A documentation audit was performed to explore the multidisciplinary working of a community HIV specialist service (CHSS). The audit identified the wide range of services to which people living with HIV are referred as part of the care they receive within the CHSS.

Design:

A retrospective documentation audit was used.

Setting:

The CHSS, consisting of three teams covering a wide geographical area across West Sussex and Brighton and Hove. A total of 30 patients' notes were audited, including 10 patients from each team to ensure the results were representative of the service as a whole.

Results:

The audit showed that, on average, each person received five onward referrals to other health care, social care, or HIV-specific services, with a range of between 1 and 12, as a result of being under the care of the CHSS. The types of referrals varied, with 46% being to HIV specialist services and the remaining 54% to non-HIV specific services, including GPs, social services and other health services. Overall, the audit showed not only the holistic care and assessments completed but also the benefit and increased access to other services and care as a result of community HIV team involvement.

Conclusion:

The audit highlights the importance of continuing to develop HIV community services to cater for this changing population, as well as identifying possible areas of development. The results also demonstrate the vital role that CHSSs have in supporting hard-to-reach patients.

Published: January 2024

Implementing online learning has led to several issues, especially those related on assessments to measure students’ learning achievement. This study aimed to obtain accurate information on learning assessments for vocational high school (VHS) students during online learning, including assessment for learning (AfL), assessment as learning (AaL), and assessment of learning (AoL). It also investigated students’ perceptions of the assessments based on their grades. This quantitative research employed the survey method, collecting data through questionnaires. The population of this research is VHS students in Indonesia, totaling 86,885 students. The participants of this study were 487 VHS students. The data were analyzed using descriptive and ANOVA techniques. The results show that most VHS students positively perceive the assessment of learning achievements in online learning for AfL, AaL, and AoL aspects. Moreover, there is a significant difference in students' perceptions of the assessment in online learning based on grades. The perception of class XII students is the highest (average value = 3.90) of all classes, while the other classes have an average value of 3.38 for class XI, and the average value of class X is 3.81.

Published: January 2024

This study investigates the impact of external variables, technological pedagogical and content knowledge (TPACK) self-efficacy, and facilitating conditions on teacher adoption of online teaching technology during the COVID-19 pandemic. It employs explanatory research to characterize the effect of external variables on the variables of the technology acceptance model. 240 high school teachers filled out Google Forms survey questionnaires for six research variables and analyzed by the SmartPLS program. The result indicates that attitude and perceived usefulness significantly and positively influence behavioral intention. Perceived usefulness and ease of use have a strong positive effect on attitude. Furthermore, perceived ease of use has a considerable effect on perceived usefulness. Perceived usefulness and ease of use are not significantly influenced by external variables. Facilitating conditions significantly positively affect behavioral intention, whereas TPACK self-efficacy negatively affects behavioral intention.
