O impacto da Covid-19 em doenças oftalmológicas na população pediátrica: uma breve revisão
Authors: Cardoso Carlos Eduardo , Sereno Mariana dos Santos
Published: December 2023

Em 2019, surge em Wuhan o SARS-Cov-2, que devido a sua grande virulência se dissipou por todo mundo precisando de medidas para reprimir seu avanço, como o bloqueio sanitário que fechou temporariamente empresas, comércios, escolas, aeroportos, dentre outros. Durante a pandemia soube-se que o vírus fazia uma infecção multissistêmica, ou seja, abrangia diversos órgãos, inclusive, a região ocular. Estudos mostraram que as crianças, em sua maioria, apresentavam sintomas mais leves da doença em comparação a população adulta. Apesar disso, houve comprometimento oftálmológico de uma expressiva parcela pediátrica. Desta forma, o objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar quais impactos a pandemia trouxe à população pediátrica em relação as condições oftalmológicas, investigando o surgimento ou agravo de patologias e quais foram as mais frequentes. Após uma extensa busca nas principais bases de dados da área da saúde, conclui-se que as crianças, durante o surto de Covid-19, apresentaram uma variabilidade de doenças oftalmológicas, com consequências à curto ou longo prazo, por uma série de motivos que incluem desde a própria infecção viral até os efeitos provocados pelas mudanças de hábitos que foram necessárias para conter a propagação do coronavírus.

Cholapod and Cholaphanes for Recognition of Anions
Authors: Chahar Mamta , Khaturia Sarita , Bishnoi Anjali
Published: December 2023

abstract:

Deoxycholic and cholic acid-based receptors 6, 13, and 16 containing imidazolium
groups were synthesized, and their properties as anion receptors have been evaluated.
Cholaphanes 13 and 16 exhibited moderate binding selectivity and affinity for fluoride
ions, while cholapod 6 showed low binding selectivity and affinity for chloride ions due to
the presence of a nitro group in the imidazolium ring. The H-bonding interactions involve
C-2 protons of imidazolium ring with anion. The detection of halide ions is revealed by the
binding constant through the 1H NMR titration experiment.
Relationship between COVID-19 and Neurological Disorder

Published: December 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a socially isolating way of life, and dementia
patients are among those who are most affected. Lockdown procedures and the inability to monitor
illnesses have led to a rapid decline in cognitive function in these individuals, with neuropsychiatric
symptoms, such as agitation, delirium, and impaired motor performance being prevalent. However, the
use of antipsychotics in treating these symptoms can increase the risk of death during COVID-19. Effective
pain therapy can be used as an alternative to reduce or avoid the use of antipsychotics, given the
consistent relationship between agitation and pain in dementia patients. The importance of properly
assessing and managing pain in dementia patients is highlighted. Additionally, the article discusses
how COVID-19 can affect brain health through inflammation, blood clotting, and blood vessel damage,
leading to potential long-term effects on cognitive function. Healthcare professionals must be
aware of the increased risk of neuropsychiatric symptoms in dementia patients during the pandemic
and prioritize pain management as a viable alternative to antipsychotics. Proper care and attention are
necessary to prevent cognitive decline and potential long-term effects on brain health in these vulnerable
individuals.
Social Media Use and Its Concurrent and Subsequent Relation to a Biological Marker of Inflammation: Short-Term Longitudinal Study (Preprint)
Authors: Lee David , Jiang Tao , Crocker Jennifer , Way Baldwin
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND

Although many studies have examined the impact of social media use (SMU) on mental health, very few studies have examined the association of SMU with health-relevant biomarkers.

OBJECTIVE

Addressing this gap, we conducted a short-term longitudinal study examining the link between SMU and C-reactive protein (CRP), a biological marker of systemic inflammation predictive of major depression, chronic diseases, and mortality.

METHODS

We measured college students’ weekly amount of SMU for 5 consecutive weeks objectively via the Screen Time app and collected blood samples at baseline and 5 weeks later.

RESULTS

In separate cross-sectional analyses conducted at phase 1 (baseline) and at phase 2 (5 weeks after baseline), objective SMU had a positive, concurrent association with CRP at both time points. Critically, in a longitudinal analysis, more SMU between phase 1 and phase 2 predicted increased CRP between these time points, suggesting that increased SMU led to heightened inflammation during that period.

CONCLUSIONS

Although more research is needed to understand why SMU led to higher inflammation, the association between objective SMU and a marker of a biological process critical to physical health presents an intriguing opportunity for future research on social media effects.

Authors: Ramjee Serena , Mohamedthani Hanen , Patel Aditya Umeshkumar , Goiriz Rebeca , Harwood Catherine A , Osborne Richard H , Cheng Christina , Hasan Zeeshaan-ul
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND

Given the expansion of remote digital dermatology services from the National Health Service, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a need for methods that identify patients at risk of digital exclusion to guide equitable representation in service co-design processes and tailor remote services to the needs of their patient population.

OBJECTIVE

This quality improvement project aims to inform the redesign of remote services to optimally support the ongoing needs of patients with chronic skin diseases, ensuring that the services are tailored to patients’ digital health literacy requirements.

METHODS

We profiled the digital health literacy of 123 people with chronic skin conditions who require long-term surveillance in 2 specialist clinics (London, United Kingdom) using the Multidimensional Readiness and Enablement Index for Health Technology (READHY) questionnaire alongside the Optimizing Health Literacy and Access (Ophelia) process for hierarchical cluster analysis.

RESULTS

The cluster analysis of READHY dimensions in responding participants (n=116) revealed 7 groups with distinct digital and health literacy characteristics. High READHY scores in groups 1 (n=22, 19%) and 2 (n=20, 17.2%) represent those who are confident with managing their health and using technology, whereas the lower-scoring groups, 6 (n=4, 3.4%) and 7 (n=12, 10.3%), depended on traditional services. Groups 3 (n=27, 23.3%), 4 (n=23, 19.8%), and 5 (n=8, 6.9%) had varying digital skills, access, and engagement, highlighting a population that may benefit from a co-designed dermatology service.

CONCLUSIONS

By identifying patient groups with distinguishable patterns of digital access and health literacy, our method demonstrates that 63.8% (n=74) of people attending specialist clinics in our center require support in order to optimize remote follow-up or need an alternative approach. Future efforts should streamline the READHY question profile to improve its practicality and use focus groups to elicit strategies for engaging patients with digital services.

Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND

Identifying high-risk individuals is crucial for preventing cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Currently, risk assessment is mostly performed by physicians. Mobile health apps could help decouple the determination of risk from medical resources by allowing unrestricted self-assessment. The respective test results need to be interpretable for laypersons.

OBJECTIVE

Together with a patient organization, we aimed to design a digital risk calculator that allows people to individually assess and optimize their CVD risk. The risk calculator was integrated into the mobile health app HerzFit, which provides the respective background information.

METHODS

To cover a broad spectrum of individuals for both primary and secondary prevention, we integrated the respective scores (Framingham 10-year CVD, Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation 2, Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation 2 in Older Persons, and Secondary Manifestations Of Arterial Disease) into a single risk calculator that was recalibrated for the German population. In primary prevention, an individual’s heart age is estimated, which gives the user an easy-to-understand metric for assessing cardiac health. For secondary prevention, the risk of recurrence was assessed. In addition, a comparison of expected to mean and optimal risk levels was determined. The risk calculator is available free of charge. Data safety is ensured by processing the data locally on the users’ smartphones.

RESULTS

Offering a risk calculator to the general population requires the use of multiple instruments, as each provides only a limited spectrum in terms of age and risk distribution. The integration of 4 internationally recommended scores allows risk calculation in individuals aged 30 to 90 years with and without CVD. Such integration requires recalibration and harmonization to provide consistent and plausible estimates. In the first 14 months after the launch, the HerzFit calculator was downloaded more than 96,000 times, indicating great demand. Public information campaigns proved effective in publicizing the risk calculator and contributed significantly to download numbers.

CONCLUSIONS

The HerzFit calculator provides CVD risk assessment for the general population. The public demonstrated great demand for such a risk calculator as it was downloaded up to 10,000 times per month, depending on campaigns creating awareness for the instrument.
VIDEOLARYNGOSCOPE VERSUS TRADITIONAL LARYNGOSCOPY FOR COMPARISON OF EASE OF INTUBATION AND HEMODYNAMIC CHANGES – A PROSPECTIVE RANDOMIZED STUDY
Authors: Singh Tanya , Rekhi Balwinder Kaur , Kumar Parmod , Kaur Mandeep
Published: December 2023

Objective: The objective of the study is to compare ease of intubation and hemodynamic changes with video laryngoscope (VL) (C-MAC) versus traditional laryngoscopy and to assess any complication such as arrhythmias, local injuries, bleeding, laryngospasm, regurgitation during intubation, and sore throat post-intubation.
Methods: This prospective randomized study was conducted on 200 patients of Mallampati (MP) Grades 1 and 2, ASA-PS I and II, randomly allocated to Group M (Macintosh) and Group V (C-MAC) (n=100 each). Hemodynamic changes (heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure [MAP], SpO2, and EtCO2) were recorded at baseline, during pre-oxygenation, during laryngoscopy, and during intubation, at 1 min, 3 min, 5 min, and then, at 10 min after endotracheal intubation. Ease of intubation and any complications were also recorded.
Results: Laryngeal view was significantly better in Group V. The mean heart rate during laryngoscopy and intubation (L&I) and after endotracheal intubation at 3rd min (ETI3); mean systolic blood pressure during L&I and after ETI1, ETI3, and ETI5 min; mean diastolic blood pressure after ETI1 and ETI min; and mean MAP during L&I and after ETI1 min were found to be significantly higher in Group M as compared to Group V (p<0.05). The difference in mean SPO2 and ETCO2 between the two groups was not found to be significant at any time interval. No significant difference was observed with respect to complications.
Conclusion: Group V (VL C-MAC) showed better ease of intubation, decreased hemodynamic response, and fewer complications as compared to Group M (Macintosh laryngoscope).

Authors: Singh Ramandeep , Salim Mohammed , Jalthania Mahendra Kumar , Yadav Vijay Kumar
Published: December 2023

Objective: The objective of our study is to compare the conventional grid iron incision with transverse crease cosmetic incision in terms of post-operative pain, mean operating time, duration of hospital stay, and post-operative complications.
Methods: This is a prospective and comparative study and was carried out between December 2021 and November 2022. During the study period, 50 patients presented to surgical outdoor and emergency at PBM hospital, Bikaner, with clinical presentation and eventual radiological diagnosis of acute appendicitis were enrolled in the study and were randomly allocated to two groups including grid iron=25 and transverse crease=25. All patients were contacted 1 week and 2 months after surgery and the efficacy of grid iron and transverse crease incision in terms of post-operative pain, mean operating time, duration of stay in hospital, and post-operative complications.
Results: Post-operative pain, duration of stay in hospital (mean stay for grid iron group=4.32 vs. transverse crease group=2.16 days), and operating time (mean operating time for grid iron group=33 min vs. transverse crease group was 20.3 min) were significantly lower in cases of transverse crease incision as compared to grid iron cases. Post=operative complications were lesser in transverse crease incision but were not very significant as compared to grid iron incision.
Conclusion: Open appendectomy using transverse crease cosmetic incision was superior to conventional grid iron incision in terms of post-operative pain, operating time, duration of hospital stay, blood loss, and post-operative complications.

Authors: M Raja , P Sivaprasath , P Dhivya
Published: December 2023

Objective: The study aimed to study the incidence, risk factors, outcome, and disease pattern of acute kidney injury (AKI) among children admitted in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU).
Methods: The present study was a prospective study done to study the incidence, risk factors, and outcome of AKI among children of the age group 1 month–12 years admitted in PICU at a tertiary care hospital.
Results: A total of 480 PICU admissions were recruited, of which 276 children met the inclusion criteria. Of these, AKI was diagnosed in 119 children (50.4%) using pediatric risk, injury, failure, loss, and end-stage renal disease criteria, and the remaining 117 children were classified as non-AKI. The majority of children (63%) were in the age group of 5–12 years, and the male-to-female ratio was 1.2:1. From this study, it was recorded that the pathogenesis of AKI could be attributed to acute glomerulonephritis (AGN) (85%), sepsis (74%), and others like snake bite, diarrhea, poisoning cases, scorpion sting, diabetic ketoacidosis, heart failure, and unclassified causes with observable numbers. The most common offender is shock (91.4%) with vasopressor support (85.4%). Out of 82 children on inotropic support, 46 were on adrenaline. It was observed that the majority of children (93.5%) developed AKI during the course in hospital. The mortality rates were 64.7% and 24.5% among AKI and non-AKI patients. The mean duration of hospital stays among children without AKI was 5 days.
Conclusion: The presence of AKI is associated with longer PICU and hospital stay, with higher mortality imposing a significant burden to health-care system.
A STUDY ON SURGICAL MANAGEMENT OF MONTEGGIA FRACTURE-DISLOCATION IN ADULTS
Authors: D NARENDER , KATRAVATH LALUNAIK , T PARAMESHWARI
Published: December 2023

Introduction: Open reduction and internal fixation of the ulna with dynamic compression plate and screws not only prevent malunion or non-union but also achieve rapid union of the fracture site.
Objectives: The objective of the study was to study the functional outcome of Monteggia fracture-dislocation in adults by surgical management.
Methods: Twenty cases of simple Monteggia fracture-dislocation in adults were treated by open reduction and internal fixation with a minimum six-holed AO 3.5 mm dynamic compression plate of the ulna with closed reduction of the radial head. In a case with a delayed presentation, the radial head was removed. The follow-up ranged from 5 to 15 months.
Results: Right elbow affliction was more common in males than left. The majority of fracture-dislocation cases resulted from auto accidents. With an average age of 35.9 years, fracture dislocations were more prevalent in the third and fourth decades of life. According to Bado’s categorization, Type 1 fracture-dislocation accounted for the majority of the cases. To avoid radial head redislocation, the upper limb was immobilized with the elbow flexed 110–120° and the forearm supinated. We had 13 (65%) instances with great results using the Anderson et al. grading system, six (30%) with good results, one (5%) with bad results, and no cases with failure. The only problems were a superficial infection and posterior interosseous nerve damage, both of which healed on their own when the radial head dislocation was closed down and the ulna was internally fixed with an AO 3.5 mm dynamic compression plate.
Conclusions: Adults with Monteggia fracture-dislocation can be treated simply and effectively with a high level of functional result utilizing the approach of early closed reduction of the radial head and open reduction and internal fixation of the ulna using a minimum of six holes AO 3.5 mm dynamic compression plate.

Published: December 2023

The purpose of this paper is to explore some new fixed point results using a bilateral contraction. The first thing we need to do is recall the work on fixed-point results that have been done in different research papers. By combining the results of two papers, the first was by Rus [12], which discussed different fixed point results on a set with two metrics, and the second was by Chen [4], which used bilateral contractions to prove different fixed point results. In this paper, we present new results for single-valued mappings on a single set with two metrics. In order to accomplish all of this, a bilateral contraction of the type used by Dass Gupta has been used.

Hybrid Learning Experiences of College Students with Special Education Needs
Authors: Fabula Jennifer B.
Published: December 2023

Higher education institutions increasingly embrace hybrid learning to offer adaptable and variable educational techniques. After the COVID-19 limits were loosened, students could now take in-person and online courses simultaneously. Students engaged in distance learning for almost three years gradually return to class. Although hybrid learning has been the subject of numerous research among typical college students, little is known about how this method of instruction affects individuals with special needs. This descriptive qualitative study examined their opinions and experiences in hybrid learning environments to close this gap. Semi-structured interviews and theme content analysis were used. This study includes students with various diagnoses, including sensory impairments, learning disabilities, physical impairments, and social, emotional, and behavioral disorders. Findings revealed that students’ experiences with hybrid learning were marked by efficient learning, safe feeling, a sense of belonging, and expectation setting. College students with special education needs can benefit from efficient learning and a safe feeling. However, it presented difficulties in establishing a sense of belonging and clearly defining expectations, highlighting the need for customized approaches to satisfy their various needs.

Authors: Fayda-Kinik F. Sehkar
Published: December 2023

This study aimed to identify the extent student diversity and school climate vary within and across France, Italy, Spain, and Turkey, to investigate and compare the impact of student diversity on school climate in the selected Mediterranean countries. A quantitative research design was adopted by using the data of 41,789 teachers obtained from the dataset of the Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) 2018. The research questions and hypotheses were formulated to investigate the extent of student diversity and school climate variations within and across the selected countries. Accordingly, the variability of general school climate, teacher-student relations, teaching experience in multicultural classrooms, teachers’ self-efficacy in multicultural classrooms, the presence of students from various ethnic backgrounds, and diversity practices were tested in the schools of France, Italy, Spain, and Turkey in the research model. Statistical analyses, including chi-square and t-tests, ANOVA, and multiple regression analysis, were conducted to test the hypotheses and examine the relationships between student diversity and school climate. The findings revealed significant variations in student diversity and school climate within and across the participating countries, and evident relationships between student diversity and school climate were discovered and compared among the selected Mediterranean countries. This study contributes to the knowledge base of educational policymakers, administrators, practitioners, and teachers by guiding them in creating inclusive and supportive learning environments that promote positive student experiences and academic success and suggesting the need for policies and practices that support inclusive education and foster positive school climates in multicultural classrooms.

Published: December 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic had has a impact on education in Bangladesh, especially for rural areas students. This research was conducted in the South Bali Para village of Trishal Upazila in Mymensingh and focused to investigate the difficulties faced by rural students in terms of accessing and adjusting to online education during the pandemic. A sample of 300 students from primary to higher secondary levels was surveyed, and empirical research revealed that economic hardship and lack of access to online education were the primary concerns for rural students. This contrasts with urban students, who were primarily affected by mental health issues. According to the research findings, more than 60% of households in rural areas lacked internet access or smartphones, despite the fact that approximately 70% of primary, lower, and higher secondary students resided in these regions. Efforts to provide remote learning through methods such as television or multimedia classrooms in remote areas did not effectively support rural students in their online education during the pandemic. Therefore, the study highlights the socioeconomic challenges and costs of pandemic-led online education in rural Bangladesh, including the increased risk of dropouts and child marriages. The findings emphasize the urgent need for an inclusive and accessible strategy for remote learning that specifically addresses the needs of the poorest and most vulnerable students in Bangladesh.

Published: December 2023

The collaborative board game was predicted to be a potential game-based learning environment to improve students’ knowledge of cyberbullying and prevent cyberbullying behaviors. The games with the debriefing method could enhance the quality of the learning environment for improving the cognitive domain. Scholars pointed out that the well-designed debriefing method has been less explored during cyberbullying-related game playing. This study examines students’ cyberbullying knowledge and affection and the effects of debriefing preferences on the game. This study used a repeated measure quasi-experimental research method to explore 124 primary school students with different preferences of debriefing methods focusing on multimedia and non-multimedia functions. The two-way repeated measures ANOVA test was conducted to compare the knowledge and affection between groups of debriefing preferences. The findings of this study reveal that the students have slightly improved knowledge and affection. The collaborative multimedia debriefing group students showed the highest knowledge progression among the four groups. Meanwhile, students in the individual scaffolded debriefing group showed the most development of empathy and intention to defend. Students also had positive debriefing experiences with their methods and perceived that the learning environment helped them to improve their cyberbullying knowledge and encouraged their upstanding behaviors.
Preparing Auditors to Evaluate Blockchains Used to Track Tangible Assets
Authors: Sheldon Mark D.
Published: December 2023

This article summarizes “Tracking Tangible Asset Ownership and Provenance with Blockchain” (Sheldon 2022), which introduces auditors to the risks of using blockchain’s shared repository to track assets in the physical world. The underlying challenge is keeping the status of tangible assets aligned with their digital representations on a blockchain. In response, the summary focuses on the parties, technologies, and processes that make this task complex. The summary begins with an overview of how blockchain can be used to track tangible assets, then discusses four stages of tracking tangible assets with blockchain: (1) design and governance of a blockchain, (2) asset creation, (3) asset transfer, and (4) asset retirement. Based on the risks highlighted in these four stages, the summary presents a framework of risk considerations and control objectives that auditors can use to evaluate the extent to which a blockchain serves as a reliable repository for tracking tangible assets.

Authors: Astuti Ismadiyanti Purwaning
Published: December 2023

Unemployment is one of the problems faced by both developed and developing countries. The increasing number of the workforce is not accompanied by an increase in the number of jobs, causing unemployment problems. This study aims to analyze the factors that influence unemployment in Indonesia on a micro basis. These factors include education, gender, and place of residence that affect unemployment in Indonesia. The data used in this study is the 2015 Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) data. The results show that education and residence have a negative and significant effect on unemployment, while gender has a positive and significant impact on unemployment. The education variable shows that individuals who do not attend school are most at risk for unemployment, while individuals with higher education are at least at risk for unemployment. The gender variable shows that male individuals are more at risk for unemployment than women, and individuals who live in rural areas are more at risk of unemployment than those who live in urban areas. From these results, the government must improve the community's education to have the skills to work or create jobs. In addition, the government must equalize educational facilities, not only centered in urban areas but in rural areas necessary to provide adequate educational facilities.

У роботі розглядається методика побудови моделі розрахунку оцінки ризику удару блискавки в будівлю та її реалізація, у відповідності до чинних нормативних документів, комп’ютерною програмою MS EXCEL. Ця методика буде корисна для проєктувальників, які виконують частину блискавкозахисту, і під час виконання своїх проєктів повинні проводити розрахунок оцінки ризику удару блискавки. Ризик удару блискавки згідно з чинними нормативними документами може складатися з суми від одного до чотирьох ризиків: ризик втрати людського життя; ризик втрати можливості надання громадських послуг; ризик втрати культурної спадщини та ризик втрати економічної цінності. Пропонована методика поширюється на розрахунок ризику втрати людського життя як найбільш важливої цінності, яку можна втратити. Методика передбачає розрахунок ризику удару блискавки для громадських, адміністративних, виробничих або житлових будівель – тобто будівель, з якими найчастіше доводиться стикатися проектувальнику під час своєї роботи. Пропонована методика не розрахована на використання для побудови ризикових моделей для будівель чи споруд наступного призначення: громадські комунікації й об’єкти культурного призначення, бо зазначені будівлі передбачають розрахунок ризику втрати можливості надання громадських послуг або ризику втрати культурної спадщини відповідно. Також пропонована методика не поширюється на будівлі, що мають вибухонебезпечні зони, оскільки розрахунок ризику для них буде специфічним; а ще ця методика не передбачає розрахунків ризику втрати економічної цінності, оскільки він не є обов’язковим відповідно до нормативних документів та проводиться додатково за бажанням замовника. В той же час вона може бути використана як основа для побудови більш складних моделей, що підходять для таких типів будівель. У роботі розглянуто методи вирішення основних проблем, з якими стикається проєктувальник під час розрахунку оцінки ризику: автоматизація розрахунку схожих формул та зведення більшості з них до кількох основних типів; отримання формули, що повертає значення або посилання на значення з таблиці чи діапазону, а також виконує пошук зазначеного елемента в діапазоні та повертає відносну позицію цього елемента; формулювання процедури оцінки ризиків відповідно до нормативного документа та визначення того, як саме ті чи інші вхідні дані впливають на підсумковий результат.

ECHOES OF THE «PRAGUE SPRING» OF 1968 IN TRANSCARPATHIA: ACCORDING TO THE MATERIALS OF THE STATE ARCHIVE OF THE TRANSCARPATHIAN REGION
Authors: Mishchanyn Vasyl
Published: December 2023

The article highlights the question of the reaction of the party and Soviet leadership, as well as the population of the Transcarpathian region to the events in Czechoslovakia in 1968. The study is based on the materials of the State Archive of the Transcarpathian Region, which were not previously published. We note that the archive did not include the main documents - the materials of the 3rd plenum of the regional committee of the Communist Party of Ukraine, which considered the issue of events in Czechoslovakia. This happened at the level of acquisition of the fund in October 1990. In total, 25 cases P-1 have been withdrawn from the description of 6 funds. Some materials are preserved in the «Soviet» fund R-195. We are talking about the certificates and information that the party and Soviet leadership sent to the republican center, as well as letters from the chairman of the regional executive committee of the Transcarpathian regional council V. Rusin and the head of the culture department of the Transcarpathian regional executive committee V. Kerechanin to the first secretary of the Transcarpathian regional committee of the Communist Party of Ukraine Yu. Ilnitsky. The Soviet leadership saw the events in Czechoslovakia as a direct threat to the socialist system. Therefore, the propagandists were entrusted with the task of «correctly» conveying the party's policy for members of the CPSU, as well as broad segments of the population. For this, special information letters were sent in the region of the Ukrainian SSR. Researchers have identified at least two propaganda campaigns to interpret the «Prague Spring»: the first (summer 1968) – aimed at supporting the official position of the USSR on the events in Czechoslovakia; the second – in August 1968 – from the «popular» discussion of the TASS message about «fraternal assistance» – the introduction of troops of the Warsaw Pact Organization into Czechoslovakia. Under special supervision was the Transcarpathian region – the territory that in 1920-1930. was an integral part of Czechoslovakia. Here, state security agencies especially closely monitored the reaction of the population to events in Czechoslovakia. A significant number of the recorded 1,182 cases of critical statements and assessments of the situation from «anti-Soviet positions», were in Transcarpathia. The leadership of the region was entrusted with a number of tasks: through the exchange of delegations through party, Soviet, Komsomol, trade union bodies, public organizations, cultural and sports societies, journalists to communicate with the leadership of the East Slovak region, to receive the necessary information from them regarding the development of events in Czechoslovakia; inform the senior republican leadership; restrict access to information that came from Czechoslovakia through radio, television, the press; propaganda processing of ordinary members of the CPSU and the population of the Transcarpathian region.
THE TRANSCARPATHIAN REFORMED CHURCH IN THE CONDITIONS OF CRISIS AND THE CALL OF THE SOVIET SYSTEM (LATE 1960S – EARLY 1990S)
Authors: Ferkov Klaudiia-Stefania
Published: December 2023

This article examines several issues of religious life in the 1960s – 1990s. The religious policy of the Soviet authorities regarding the Transcarpathian Reformed Church is highlighted. In the late 1960s, in connection with the improvement of state-church relations, the Soviet authorities eased the pressure on the church. In 1965, the Council for the Affairs of Religious Cults and the Council for the Affairs of the Russian Orthodox Church were reorganized into a single body - the Council for the Affairs of Religions, which existed until 1991. However, the course on atheist education remained unchanged. The removal from the leadership of M. Khrushchev led to the liberalization of politics in the field of religion. The authorities have abandoned pronounced actions against the church and believers and are trying to cover up anti-religious actions by law. The authorities gradually moved from a crude and direct struggle with the church to more sophisticated methods - reducing the number of believers through anti-religious propaganda and anti-religious education. The reconstruction initiated by M. Gorbachev marked the beginning of the state's religious policy. The last third of the 1980s can be considered a turning point in relations between the state and church institutions. In fact, in a few years, the state went from implementing an anti-religious policy to promoting the development of church institutions. The general political situation in the country on the eve and in the year of independence had a positive effect on the life of the Reformed people of Transcarpathia. Contacts with Protestant, in particular, Reformed (Calvinist) religious and secular organizations in Europe were revived. The religious education of the youth was resumed, and the training of new priests became possible again. The churches confiscated by the state were returned to the communities, and the construction of new churches began on the site of damaged or destroyed ones. There were changes in the management system, from single leadership to synodal-presbyterial management.
ILLYRIAN ISSUES IN THE ENGLISH-LANGUAGE STUDIES OF MARJETA ŠAŠEL KOS
Authors: Aleshkevych Yaroslav
Published: December 2023

The article provides a historiographical overview and analysis of specific English-language publications by contemporary Slovenian researcher Marjeta Šašel Kos on the Illyrian issue. Issues related to hypotheses about the origin of the Illyrians, significant events in their internal history, achievements in various fields of culture, and an objective assessment of their relationship with the Greco-Roman world form the basis for an in-depth study of the ancient population of the Western Balkans, Central and Southwestern Europe. The world of Illyrian tribes, who were inhabitants of the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea, the northwestern part of the Balkan Peninsula, and the southeastern part of the Alpine region, was in close proximity to the borders of the spread of the Greco-Roman civilization and its culture. Numerous Illyrian tribes, formed in the northern and southern ethno-cultural zone of the Eastern Hallstatt, were among the oldest tribal formations in the barbarian world of Europe (Pax Barbaricum). The world of the Illyrian tribes was sought to be understood by the ancient Greeks, followed by the Romans. However, contacts between representatives of these two diametrically opposite worlds ended in confrontation and assimilation. After numerous and bloody clashes, the world of the Illyrians lost its identity, underwent powerful Hellenization and Romanization, and acquired signs of deep provinciality. Therefore, the article's author seeks to introduce the reader to the achievements of individual bright and talented representatives of contemporary Illyriology and popularize their scientific work. Marjeta Šašel Kos's scientific work is diverse and productive (several extensive and substantive monographs and more than 70 scientific articles). The Slovenian researcher bases her views on archaeological and epigraphic materials, information comparisons, and reasoned criticism of ancient historians and geographers. All of these trends pursue a particular goal: to overcome the stereotype of perceiving representatives of the tribal world of ancient Europe, which was shaped by Greco-Roman written tradition. The review of her English-language works on the Illyrian issue demonstrates that Slovenian and European Illyriology are actively developing, allowing us to get to know and understand the specifics of the historical development of the ancient Illyrians.
Broken Phenomenology: The Silent Witness from the Decalogue Cycle of Krzysztof Kieslowski and his Philosophical Meaning
Authors:   University of Craiova, Ocoleanu Ana
Published: December 2023

1988, as the TV cycle ‘Decalogue’ was finished by Krzysztof Kieslowski, one of the most intriguing appearances throughout its episodes was the character of the silent witness, a young man played by Arthur Barciś. He is the first character who appears at the beginning of Decalogue I and therefore of the whole series and who returns in eight from the ten films of the cycle in very different hypostases: as nomadic camper, surveyor, nurse, bus driver, or rowboat driver, traveler on foot or by bike etc. The film critics were intrigued by this character and interpreted him in different ways, especially in key either religious or ethical. They all and Kieslowski himself agreed that the silent witness is a strange and symbolic appearance that comes out from the frames of everyday life. It is as if a curtain would break or be torn and from beyond it something foreign and strange would appear, difficult to integrate into our categories, but which is surprisingly so eloquent for us. The phenomenology, that Kieslowski describes, is broken in this manner, but, paradoxically, also consolidated by this presence, that gives it meaning and content.
