Study on Bipedal Running on Compliant Ground Using Hybrid Zero Dynamics Controller
Authors: Luo Yinnan , Arbogast Philipp , Römer Ulrich J. , Zirkel Marten , Zentner Lena , Fidlin Alexander
Published: November 2024

This research contributes to the development of energy-efficient bipedal running gaits on compliant ground using the hybrid zero dynamics control framework, which has been predominantly applied to rigid ground in existing literature. The robot model is composed of five rigid body segments connected by four actuated revolute joints using electric motors. The periodic running gaits at a constant average velocity consist of single support and flight phases with discrete transitions between them. During the single support phase, the compliant contact between the stance foot and the ground is modeled as a nonlinear viscoelastic interaction. Feedback controllers are developed for the continuous phases to enforce holonomic virtual constraints, thereby synchronizing the joint angles with a reference trajectory on the actuated joints, resulting in reduced-order zero dynamics. A multiple shooting technique is employed to ascertain periodic solutions of the hybrid zero dynamics. The formulation of energy-efficient gaits is conceptualized as an optimization problem, wherein the parameters of the reference trajectory are optimized. The stability of the gait is evaluated a posteriori by computing the Floquet multipliers of the periodic solutions. The magnitude of these multipliers is considered as optimization constraints, enabling the generation of stable and energy-efficient running gaits on compliant ground. Comparison with rigid ground demonstrates that ground compliance does not necessarily reduce energy efficiency. In certain scenarios, the elastic properties of the ground can be harnessed to enhance overall efficiency despite the energy dissipation due to damping.
Unveiling Water Adsorption Dynamics on N and Br-Modified Anatase TiO₂ (101) Surfaces: A DFT Study
Authors: Mahmood Asad
Published: November 2024

Understanding water adsorption on photocatalyst surfaces through DFT studies is essential for uncovering interaction mechanisms and enhancing surface reactivity. Defect modulation in oxide-based semiconductors like TiO₂ is pivotal for applications in catalysis, geophysics, and biochemistry. This study uses periodic DFT calculations to investigate water adsorption on Br- and N-doped TiO₂ (101) surfaces. The results indicate that Br and N doping enhances surface reactivity, yielding higher adsorption energy of 0.873 eV for a single water molecule compared to 0.654 eV for undoped TiO₂. An increase in the number of water molecules leads to cluster formation on the modified surface, demonstrating improved adsorption capability. Moreover, Br and N dopants facilitate water dissociation, suggesting an elevated potential for photocatalytic reactions. This study is significant as it deepens our understanding of the surface behavior of doped oxide materials, i.e., TiO2, paving the way for enhanced insights into their catalytic properties and potential applications in heterogeneous catalysis.

Published: November 2024

The accuracy and precision of the inverse kinematics solution is the key to determine the performance of the robotic arm motion. Aiming at the Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO) algorithm’s low accuracy in solving inverse kinematics of 2-link flexible macro robotic arms with 2-link rigid micro robotic arms(2F2R macro-micro robotic arm), this paper proposes the Multiple Genetic Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm (MGAPSO), which employs a hybrid inertia weight updating strategy and integrates the multiple parallel swarm search mode and the genetic mutation operation to increase the diversity of the populations and the search accuracy. In order to verify the effectiveness of MGAPSO algorithm , two sets of experiments are conducted with six test functions and 2F2R macro-micro robotic arm, respectively. Simulation results show the optimal solution accuracy of improved MGAPSO is 1.19*10-14 , which is better than other algorithms of 3.45*10-7. This paper provides a new algorithm for the inverse kinematics problem.

This work aims to integrate ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles into the use of coconut fiber residue for producing partially delignified cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs), providing significant benefits across all three dimensions of sustainability. Combination of alkaline treatment with mechanical refining using a colloidal mill, to our knowledge, has not yet been reported. This study explores the relationship between process parameters and physicochemical and thermal properties of CNFs. Produced CNFs displayed FTIR spectra that indicate significant removal of lignin and hemicellulose content due to alkaline treatment. XRD data showed higher crystallinity, and thermal stability was enhanced, with carbonaceous residues ranging between 27% and 30%, as confirmed by TG analyses. The cost evaluation is also reported, based on applied methodological parameters and achieved yield. By leveraging coconut fiber residue within an ESG framework, companies can create environmentally friendly products, support social development, and adhere to strong governance principles.

Authors: Wang Li , Li Xia , Dong Yishan , Yu Bin
Published: November 2024

Objective
To elucidate the association between premature ovarian failure, delayed menopause and all-cause mortality. To clarify the key influencing factors and improvement measures.
DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS
The cross-sectional study utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2005 to 2016. 2788 subjects were divided into three groups according to their age at menopause.
EXPOSURES
Cox hazards regression model was employed to examine the relationship between premature ovarian failure, delayed menopause and all-cause mortality. Restricted cubic splines (RCS) was utilized to explore potential non-linear relationships between blood lipid indexes and all-cause mortality.
MAIN OUTCOME AND MEASURES
The primary outcome was all-cause mortality, which were obtained from the codebook for the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) 2019 Public-Use Linked Mortality Files.
Results
The total rate all-cause mortality was 12.52%. Compared with other two groups (normal group and premature ovarian failure), the rate of women with delayed menopause were significantly increased (39.01%, p<0.001). After adjusting for multiple variables (model 3), the risk for all-cause mortality was statistically significant for women with delayed menopause (HR2.30, p<0.001). Kaplan-Meier curves also found that the survival time of women with delayed menopause was significantly shortened (p<0.001). There were the nonlinear (U-shaped) relationship was observed between cholesterol (p for nonlinearity <0.003), HDL-cholesterol (p for nonlinearity <0.022) and the risk of all-cause mortality. Moreover, parallel mediation analysis found that cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol significantly adjusted both association, with the adjustment ratio of 5.8% and 3.0% (p<0.01). Diseases of heart and malignant neoplasms were the common causes of mortality. Physical activity, including vigorous recreational activities and moderate recreational activities, could obviously prolong the survival time (HR0.23 and 0.43) and reduce the risk of all-cause mortality
Conclusions
The study emphasized the association between delayed menopause (but not premature ovarian failure) and the risk of all-cause mortality, and identified lipid metabolism as a key mediator. It also underscored the potential of physical activity as a modifiable risk factor to improve survival outcomes.
How do dodgeball holding techniques influence ball velocity and joint torque generation of the upper body segments in developmental children?
Authors: Motoyama Kiyotaka , Urita Yoshihisa , Abe Daijiro
Published: November 2024

Children often hold a large ball with their fingers, palm, and flexed wrist when throwing arm holding (AH). The study questions were whether kinematic differences between AH and hand grasping (HG) are attributed to kinetic variables and ball velocity. Relative time series of the joint angles, joint torque generated by the upper body segments, and centrifugal force were compared between 40 AHs and 84 HGs among children aged 6–12 years old using statistical parametric mapping. Although internal rotation torque and adduction torque generated by the shoulder joint were greater for HG, the maximal ball velocity was not different between HG and AH. Wrist and elbow joint torque were not significantly different regardless of greater wrist and elbow joint flexion due to ball holding in AH. AH utilized more centrifugal force by increasing angular velocity at the latter phase of the throwing motion. Given these, choosing either AH or HG was not necessarily determined by ball graspability. Proximal joint torque with the centrifugal force at the latter phase of the throwing motion contributed to AH showing an equivalent maximal dodgeball velocity with HG in developmental children.
Creating A Realistic Sybil Attack Dataset For Inter-vehicle Communication
Authors: Guven Taner , Taysi Ziya Cihan
Published: November 2024

A Sybil attack, in which a malicious node uses multiple identities simultaneously to deceive other participants, poses a significant threat to Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs). Traditional solutions used in conventional networks are often ineffective in VANET due to the network's dynamic nature and the strict timing constraints of safety-critical applications. An alternative approach involves leveraging physical attributes of received messages, such as the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), for attack detection. However, research on RSSI-based Sybil attack detection in VANET is limited by a lack of realistic datasets. This work aims to bridge this gap by creating a simulation environment that accurately reflects real-world road structures, traffic flows, and environmental factors. We began by importing a region of Istanbul's historical center from OpenStreetMap. Next, we designed a traffic scenario replicating real-world density based on municipal data, incorporating packet loss due to channel capacity constraints and signal interference. We carefully calibrated the radio propagation model to accurately reflect the impacts of both surrounding landscapes and signal interference on RSSI readings. We implemented four well-known sybil attack methods with five power control options, yielding 20 distinct attack scenarios. Our dataset was rigorously validated against traffic flow, RSSI measurements, attack distribution, and packet collisions. Finally, we established a portable data format and released a sample dataset, along with our simulation environment's source, settings, and scenarios.

Published: November 2024

Asthma is a prevalent respiratory condition with over 100 genetic loci identified through genome-wide association studies (GWAS). However, the genetic basis of asthma in East Asians remains underexplored. To address this, we performed a comprehensive analysis of shared genetic mechanisms between asthma and white blood cell (WBC) traits in East Asians, aiming to identify novel pleiotropic loci. Using linkage disequilibrium score regression (LDSC), we identified a significant genetic correlation between asthma and eosinophil count, further supported by Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. A multi-trait analysis of GWAS (MTAG) uncovered 52 genome-wide significant loci, including 31 novel loci specific to East Asians. Notably, we discovered a missense variant (rs75326924) in the CD36 gene that exhibits increased expression in lymphocytes and ILC2-enriched cells in asthma patients, confirmed by flow cytometry. Proteomic profiling demonstrated downregulation of immune-related proteins such as Interleukin-7, Oncostatin M, and VEGFA in carriers of rs75326924, a variant previously associated with CD36 deficiency. Our findings provide insights into novel genetic loci and candidate genes underlying asthma in East Asians, offering potential targets for therapeutic interventions tailored to this population.

Published: November 2024

Diagnosis of infection in patients with sepsis takes days via culture and appropriate treatment of pathogens are delayed awaiting results. A faster diagnosis of the pathogen and resistance via RNA sequencing informed PCR will improve outcomes. We hypothesize that we can use RNA sequencing from patients with sepsis to identify novel targets for future nucleic acid-based tests. This cohort study of 46 sepsis patients admitted to the ICU with samples taken on days 0, 1, 3, and 7 with follow up through the hospital stay during 2021–2022. All patients had RNA sequencing, depth of > 100 million reads, conducted on days in the ICU from a single center medical intensive care unit. Patients were admitted to the ICU with a diagnosis of sepsis. Patients or surrogates were approached consecutively and those who consented were enrolled. RNA sequencing of peripheral blood was performed to identify RNA targets from pathogens. RNA sequencing data that did not map to the human genome was then aligned to resistance genes and pathogen genomes and used to design novel PCR tests. These tests were correlated with culture diagnosis and clinical outcomes. Forty-six patients (mean age 62.2, 48% female) were enrolled and samples from 87 time points were collected. These samples resulted in 8.6 billion RNA sequencing reads to identify pathogen RNA. PCR target discovery for this study focused on positive blood cultures (n = 40) due Escherichia coli (5), Staphylococcus aureus (6), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (3) as well as identification of resistance genes. From these RNA sequencing reads, 40 targets were defined and tested by quantitative PCR. In cohort of patients (n = 9) the some of the proposed PCRs identified all cases of positive blood cultures (Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli had no positive blood cultures in this cohort). RNA sequencing from patients with sepsis can identify RNA from pathogens causing the infection. This can be used to design PCR primers that can identify patients with positive blood cultures. Translation of these primers to clinical microbiology machines is the next step and will allow the diagnosis pathogen and resistance faster than blood culture.
Serum levels of the Parkinson’s disease-linked protein Parkin are specifically elevated in COVID-19
Authors: Gumanova Nadezhda G. , Bogdanova Natalya L. , Gorshkov Alexander Yu.
Published: November 2024

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and is known to cause various unfavorable effects, including neurodegenerative disorders. The aim of the present study was to assess comparative serum protein profiles specifically associated with COVID-19.
Methods: COVID-19 infection was confirmed by the detection of immunoglobulin G (IgG)-SARS antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 S1 protein receptor-binding domain in serum samples collected in 2019-2021. IgG antibodies to adenovirus (IgG-AdV) were analyzed in serum samples collected in 2016-2018 prior the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Comparative protein profiling was conducted in matched serum samples with positive/negative IgG-SARS-status using the Signaling Explorer Antibody Array (SET100) that included 1358 specific antibodies in two replicates. This analysis identified Parkin as a top protein discriminating between SARS-positive and negative status. The results were validated using in-house ELISA in the serum of participants recruited in 2019- 2021. Specificity versus another viral infection was tested in the serum samples with positive/negative status of IgG-AdV antibodies.
Results: High serum levels of the Parkinson’s disease-linked protein Parkin were associated with SARS-positive status (P<0.05) but were not associated with IgG-AdV-positive-status (P>0.05).
Conclusions: Specific associations of Parkin with COVID-19 contribute to identification of the signaling pathways linked to COVID-19 effects.
Modelling Speed and Inter-Race Intervals as a Proxy for Glycogen Restoration in Racing Greyhounds
Authors: Payne Richard M
Published: November 2024

The recovery of Greyhounds post-race has important welfare implications, primarily to avoid over-running and prevent Greyhounds with subclinical injuries from racing. Both situations could reasonably be expected to reduce performance, which may be identified by comparing the successive race performances of individual Greyhounds. The focus in this analysis was on reportedly sound Greyhounds and thus the hypothesis was that changes in performance would be due to changes in muscle glycogen stores, which may not have had time to be restored after the previous race. In order to determine whether changes in inter-race intervals affected performance, particularly where the inter-race interval was less than four days, a one-year dataset of raceform was analysed. The dataset contained 153,728 races of 9,190 reportedly sound GBGB-licenced Greyhounds and was analysed using R and MLwiN to generate a multilevel model. The results showed an undetermined effect on performance when there was only one day between races, due to lack of records in this part of the dataset, but showed unchanging performance when there were two or more days between races. As such the implication is that racing Greyhounds have fully recovered their glycogen stores by two days after a race. Performance depression after this time might suggest a subclinical injury. Expanded datasets are required to determine the effect of a one-day gap between races.

Purpose: Positron emission tomography (PET) and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) are essential molecular imaging tools for the in vivo investigation of neurotransmission. Traditionally, PET and SPECT images are analysed in a univariate manner, testing for changes in radiotracer binding in regions or voxels of interest independently of each other. Over the past decade, there has been an increasing interest in the so-called molecular connectivity approach that captures relationships of molecular imaging measures in different brain regions. Targeting these inter-regional interactions within a neuroreceptor system may allow to better understand complex brain functions. In this article, we provide a comprehensive review of molecular connectivity studies in the field of neurotransmission. We examine the expanding use of molecular connectivity approaches, highlighting their applications, advantages over traditional methods, and contributions to advancing neuroscientific knowledge.Methods: A systematic search in three bibliographic databases MEDLINE, EMBASE and Scopus on July 14, 2023, was conducted. A second search was rerun on April 4, 2024. Molecular imaging studies examining functional interactions across brain regions were included based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria.Results: Thirty-nine studies were included in the scoping review. Studies were categorised based on the primary neurotransmitter system being targeted: dopamine, serotonin, opioid, muscarinic, glutamate and synaptic density. The most investigated system was the dopaminergic and the most investigated disease was Parkinson’s disease (PD).Conclusions: This review highlighted the diverse applications and methodologies in molecular connectivity research, particularly for neurodegenerative diseases and psychiatric disorders. Molecular connectivity research offers significant advantages over traditional methods, providing deeper insights into brain function and disease mechanisms. As the field continues to evolve, embracing these advanced methodologies will be essential to understand the complexities of the human brain and improve the robustness and applicability of research findings in clinical settings.

Authors: Vu Tuan Anh
Published: November 2024

The study aimed to empirically investigate the effect of credit risk on the financial performance of Vietnamese banks. Secondary data was collected from the 15 commercial banks in the country over a 8-year period from 2014 to 2021. The study utilized nonperforming loans, capital adequacy ratio, impaired loan reserve, and loan impairment charges as indicators of credit risk, with return on assets serving as the measure of financial performance. Data analysis was conducted using a balanced panel data regression model, and the findings indicate that nonperforming loans and capital adequacy significantly influence the financial performance of Vietnamese commercial banks. Therefore, controlling credit risk is essential for maintaining bank financial performance.

Published: November 2024

The emergence and transmission of zoonotic diseases is a critical global challenge. Deforestation, land use changes, and urbanization have led to increased human-wildlife interactions, raising the likelihood of pathogen spillover. Wildlife trade, including handling and consumption, contributes significantly to this risk. This study aims to identify knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) towards zoonotic disease risks, wildlife trade, and consumption among rural and urban populations in Bolivia, Chile, Guatemala and Brazil, including indigenous communities.
Using a mixed-methods approach, the study included a quantitative KAP survey with 3600 interviewees, qualitative in-depth interviews with 15 key actors and 6 focus group discussions to develop targeted educational interventions within the communities.
This study's mixed-methods design provides quantitative baseline information, as well as qualitative context and depth, allowing for comprehensive insights into KAP in the communities in Latin America. To address the complex interplay of human, animal, and environmental factors, the One Health approach is applied with a focus on international and interdisciplinary collaboration. The participatory approach promotes mutual ownership and sustainability of public health interventions.

Published: November 2024

Objective
To evaluate the association between cataract surgery and the conversion of dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) to neovascular AMD (nAMD) and risk factors for nAMD conversion among eyes receiving cataract surgery.
Design
Retrospective time-to-event study.
Subjects
Adults in the United States-based IRIS® Registry (Intelligent Research in Sight) with dry AMD and cataract surgery after AMD diagnosis. Untreated fellow eyes with dry AMD served as controls for a subset of patients.
Methods
Eligible eyes were identified using International Classification of Diseases codes and followed for up to 7 years to assess nAMD conversion. Demographic and clinical data were assessed during follow-up. We use proportional hazards models to estimate risk factors for nAMD conversion.
Main Outcome Measures
Conversion rate from dry AMD to nAMD during study period.
Results
The full sample included 241,732 eyes (mean age 76 years, SD 7 years, 61% female, 94% White). Smoking status was 65% never, 26% former, and 9.3% active smokers. The subset of patients with one treated and one untreated eye included 25,111 patients. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed 68% event-free survival for nAMD conversion in the cataract surgery treated eyes vs. 32% in fellow untreated eyes at 7 years. Conversion risk was significantly lower in eyes with cataract surgery (Hazard ratio (HR) = 0.49, CI = 0.47-0.52, P < 0.001), controlling for pre-surgery dry AMD stage and visual acuity, as well as observed and unobserved person-level factors. In the full sample, higher conversion risk was associated with worse baseline vision, older age, female sex, smoking, advanced AMD, and White race (P < 0.001). Cataract surgery type was not significantly associated with conversion risk.
Conclusion
Over a 7-year study period, cataract surgery was associated with a significantly and substantially lower risk of conversion from dry AMD to nAMD. Risk factors for conversion include advanced dry AMD, older age, poorer baseline vision, female sex, and active smoking.

Published: November 2024

Background: Mandibular canal (MC) is mostly influenced by individual characteristics, such as gender, age, race, and level of alveolar bone loss, and it needs to be assessed prior to various posterior mandibular surgeries. This study aimed to evaluate the MC anatomical patterns and anterior loop (AL) parameters among Yemeni samples via cone‑beam computed tomography (CBCT).
Material/Methods: In this CBCT retrospective cross-sectional study, 558 CBCTs were recruited, and the MC patterns and AL parameters were categorized created on sex and age groups. Contributors CBCT images were analyzed, assessed, and measured from the sagittal and panoramic views, and the MC patterns were documented as straight and vertical. In addition, the AL length, diameter, and the distance to buccal cortical plate (BCP) and lingual cortical plate (LCP) and inferior border of the mandible (IBM) in were recorded association with the sex, age groups, and side. The significance level was set at P<0.05.
Results: The MC patterns were 64.5%, 32.8%, and 6.9% for the straight and vertical patterns and AL, respectively. The AL had an overall prevalence of 2.7%. The AL length and diameter were 5.1±1.4 and 2.4±0.5 mm, respectively. The distances of the anterior part of the AL were 2.5±0.9, 3.8±1.5, and 8.6±2.0 mm for the BCP, LCP, and IBM, respectively. No significant differences were observed between the MC patterns and all AL parameters (gender, age groups, and side; p > 0.05), except the height between the bottom edge of the inferior alveolar nerve canal and the lower edge of the jawbone (p 0.025). Patient gender had significant effects on all AL height and diameters and parameter mea­surements (p <0.05). Moreover, the AL diameter displayed a significant difference only with the IBM with p 0.001.
Conclusions: The overall prevalence of AL was low on both sides, and the AL parameters were higher in males and on the right side. Among MC patterns, the straight pattern was the most prevalent in females, on the right side, and among age groups.

Published: November 2024

The relationship between bipolar disorder (BD) and creativity has long fascinated both the academic community and the public. However, empirical evidence and meta-analytic findings have remained ambiguous and complex. This meta-analysis systematically investigates the association between BD (including clinical and subclinical samples) and various dimensions of creativity, including divergent thinking, creative achievements, and artistic creativity, with a particular focus on the moderating effects of multiple influencing factors. A thorough literature search of 6,298 screened articles yielded 35 relevant studies, encompassing 114 effect sizes and 48,979 individuals. Using a multilevel random-effects model, our analysis found a small but statistically significant positive relationship between BD and creativity (g = 0.20, 95% CI: [0.08, 0.32]). Specifically, individuals with subclinical BD were associated with higher levels of creative output (g = 0.32, 95% CI: [0.22, 0.41]) than clinical sample (g = 0.06, 95% CI: [-0.17, 0.29]), which somewhat supports the inverted U-shaped relationship hypothesis. Studies using correlational methods or self-reported creativity exhibited a significantly positive link between BD and creativity. Additionally, this link was moderated by several key variables, such as the severity and type of BD, the creativity assessment method, and various demographic factors. By addressing methodological inconsistencies in previous research and offering a more comprehensive analysis of moderator variables, this meta-analysis deepens our understanding creativity in BD.
Association of circulation very long chain saturated fatty acids with periodontitis in NHANES 2011–2014
Authors: Jiang Xue , Jin Fuqian , Song Jukun , Chen Zhu
Published: November 2024

Background Increased levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids have been shown in several recent studies to lower the incidence of periodontitis. The impact of very long chain saturated fatty acids (VLSFAs) on periodontitis, however, has not received much attention. Therefore, our study’s goal was to ascertain how VLSFAs and periodontitis related to one another in adult Americans.
Methods Our analysis comprised 1861 participants from NHANES 2011-2014 who had their serum
VLSFA levels measured. Four equal parts of the serum VLSFAs (20:0,22:0,23:0,24:0, and total VLSFA)
were used as independent variables. Periodontitis was the dependent variable, and it was categorized
using the Eke 2012 criteria. The connection between VLSFAs and periodontitis was examined using a
multivariate logistic regression analysis.
Results While multiple variables were adjusted, we found a negative correlation between increased
20:0, 23:0, and total VLSFA circulating levels and periodontitis. (model 3, Q4 OR20:0: 0.00053, 95 % CI: 0.420-0.786, P-trend =0.004; OR23:0: 0.624, 95 % CI: 0.454-0.855, P-trend =0.007; OR total VLSFA:0.710, 95 % CI: 0.518-0.972, P-trend=0.049, respectively).
Conclusions We conclude that rising levels of 20:0, 23:0, and total VLSFA in the blood could help
lower the incidence of periodontitis.
Clinical relevance High levels of serum VLSFAs may reduce the risk of periodontitis.

В статье рассматривается феномен «чтения как обращения» в историко-культурном контексте, фиксируется временная граница перехода от античных философских школ к христианскому строению и содержанию текста в Поздней Римской империи. Опыт обращения к Богу через чтение Библии для обретения веры и бессмертия души стал открытием, которое в истории европейской культуры связано с именем Аврелия Августина. На материале текстов Августина («Исповедь» и «Монологи») рассматриваются особенности феномена чтения как обращения: от «захваченности чувствами» в поисках Бога до диалога разума и чувств в обретении веры в текстах периода принятия крещения (387 г.) и полемики с неоплатониками. На этом пути логичен выход к поиску герменевтического толкования библейских текстов.

The article deals with the phenomenon of "reading as a conversion" in the historical and cultural context, a temporary fixed boundary of the transition from the ancient schools of the Christian structure and content of the text in the Late Roman Empire, which allows to identify this phenomenon. The experience of conversion to God through Bible reading to gain faith and immortality of his soul was the discovery that in the history of European culture, particularly associated with the name of Aurelius Augustine. The article considers the texts of Augustine ("Confessions" and "Monologues") Augustine as a material for the understanding of the features of the phenomenon of reading as a conversion of "clinging feelings" in search of God to the dialogue of the mind and the senses in finding faith in the texts of the period of Augustine’s baptized (387) and debated with the Neo-Platonists. In this way the output is logical to seek and need the hermeneutic interpretation of biblical texts as a didactic preaching and practice.

Authors: М.С. ПЕТРОВА
Published: November 2024

В статье отмечаются особенности развития общественных отношений на территории Римской империи в IV веке, среди которых ассимиляция мигрирующих варварских народов в мир Romanitas и распространение христианства. На основании имеющихся источников реконструируются психологические портреты римских аристократов IV века (Претекстата, Квинта Аврелия Симмаха и Флавиана), боровшихся за сохранение традиционного языческого социально-религиозного культа; выявляются их действия, свидетельствующие о приверженности языческим традициям и неприятии «чужого».

The article notes the features of the development of social relations in the territory of the Roman Empire in the IV century, among them there are the assimilation of migrating barbarian peoples into the world of Romanitas and the spread of Christianity. On the basis of available sources, the psychological portraits of the Roman aristocrats of the fourth century (Pretextat, Quintus Aurelius Simmachus and Flavianus), struggling to preserve the traditional pagan socio-religious cult, are being reconstructed; their actions are revealed, which testify to adherence to pagan traditions and rejection of “alien”.

Authors: Д.В. Кирюхин , Т.Г. Чугунова
Published: November 2024

В статье представлены репрезентации образа английского кардинала, министра и канцлера Томаса Волси его современниками-соотечественниками: Дж. Скелтоном, Полидором Вергилием и У. Тинделом, для которых Волси является примером неправедного политического деятеля и порочного представителя духовенства. Прежде всего они отмечают такие негативные качества личности кардинала, как жадность, корыстолюбие, чрезмерная амбициозность и жестокосердие. Сочинения указанных авторов насыщены экспрессивно-оценочными суждениями о канцлере, что привело к демонизации образа Волси, прочно утвердившейся в английской историографии.

Published: November 2024

В статье анализируется микроструктура исторического нарратива Д. Юма, в котором были заложены основы историографического канона позднего Просвещения. Рассматриваются комплексы повторяющихся и однотипных рубрик, выделенных Юмом по наиболее значимым аспектам воссоздаваемого прошлого, в качестве маркеров его целенаправленных усилий по систематизации исторических фактов.

The article analyzes the peculiarity of the microstructure of the historical narrative by D. Hume, in which were laid the foundations of the historiographical canon of the late Enlightenment. The author considers the complexes of duplicate and similar rubrics on the most important aspects of reconstructing the past, which were single out by D. Hume, as the markers of his purposeful efforts aimed at systematization of the historical facts.
ВРЕМЯ КАК УНИВЕРСАЛЬНЫЙ КРИТЕРИЙ:ОБУЧЕНИЕ РЕМЕСЛУ В ПАРИЖЕ XIII ВЕКА
Authors: Е.Н. Кириллова
Published: November 2024

Главным критерием, определявшим завершение обучения ремеслу, в Париже XIII в. выступало завершение срока обучения. Время выступало базовым критерием, учитывающим нормальный ход событий и почти все жизненные обстоятельства, однако этого критерия не всегда оказывалось достаточно. Сомнения в высокой квалификации нового мастера породили требование поработать еще какое-то время (обычно «год и день») либо пройти специальную проверку. Другая сторона проблемы – хорошие ученики, научившиеся ремеслу раньше окончания срока. Сталкиваясь с такими ситуациями, парижские корпорации полагали возможным платить ученикам за работу, сократить длительность обучения или изменить отношение к ученикам.

The main criterion that determined the completion of apprenticeship in Paris crafts in the 13th century was the completion of the term of apprenticeship. Time was the basic criterion that takes into account the normal course of events and almost all the circumstances, however this criterion has not always been enough. The doubt in the high qualification of a new master produced the requirement to work for extra time (usually for “one year and one day”) or to pass the guild’s examination. Another aspect – good apprentices, who learned the métier before the deadline of the apprenticeship. Then the Paris guilds offered to pay for apprentices’ work, or to reduce the term of apprenticeship, or to change the attitude for apprentice.
