Published: December 2018

Loss of quality in seafood has been considered hazardous to consumers due to the proliferation and colonization of pathogenic bacteria. White shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) is a very important food due to high protein compostion and nutritional component. White shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) was a product of high value, for local consumption as well as export. However, the quick deterioration of white shrimp was caused owing to high moisture and protein content. Drying was one of the best choices to process this seafood. Besides the preservation purposes, the demand for dried shrimp has also been driven by the flavour of the products. Curcumin has been used in traditional medicine to prevent bacterial and fungal growth. It has been used as an ingredient in food recipes. Objective of this research focused on different technical aspects such as the effect of salt and curcumin concentration during soaking; temperature and time of steaming; temperature of drying to chemical, microbial and sensory characteristics during the processing of curcumin-dry-salted white shrimp. The present study also evaluated shelf life extension of curcumin-dry-salted white shrimp under storage conditions. It has been proved that this white shrimp was highly acceptable level in curcumin-dry-salted condition and also maintained best quality.

Published: December 2018

Coco ethanolamide obtained from the amidation of Fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) from coconut oil with monoethanolamine using zirconium (IV) chloride and tert-amyl alcohol was observed in this study. Several effective parameters were evaluated in term of catalyst concentration (5-9% w/wFAME), reaction temperature (80-100oC) and stirring speed (200-400 rpm). Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was used to optimize and to observe the interaction effects of the three variables on the FAME conversion. The capability of the process was measured from the number of FAME converted to coco ethanolamide. In the range of parameters evaluated, the conversion increase by increasing the catalyst concentration up to 9% (w/wFAME), but decreases after the optimum value. At the optimal condition, the model predicts a maximum FAME conversion of 86.27%, mainly due to a strong interaction between catalyst concentration and stirring speed.

Published: December 2018

In this work, the experimental design methodology was applied to optimize phosphate recovery percentage occurred in an air agitated column reactor from an aqueous solution containing MAP (magnesium, ammonium, and phosphate) ions. The reactor has three feed ports for fluid intake, while pH solution (8, 9 and 10) was examined to control the levels of supersaturation. The precipitated salts were subjected to characterization through different chemical techniques confirming the presence of high purity of struvite with impurity of sylvite as a mixed slow release fertilizer. Independent variables (pH and the fluid intake rate) in experimental design were used to model and optimize the operating parameters. The optimum operating conditions were quite efficient in trapping 38.02 % recovered phosphorus in synthetic solution at pH of 8-10, and fluid intake rate of 30.81 ml/min. Therefore, these optimized conditions could be valuable input data for engineering design-software for successive equipment required in wastewater treatment plant.

Published: December 2018

Wastewater of tofu industry contains very high organic content, then anaerobic process is the most suitable for degrading this liquid waste. The hybrid upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor (HUASBR) was applied in this study because it has the advantage in ensuring good contact between biomass and substrate where a suspension medium and anaerobic filter are able to withstand more biomass in the attached media. Processing Anaerobic process is carried out with the help of bacteria where bacteria need seeding and acclimatization. Acclimatization is the process of adaptation of microorganisms to wastewater to be treated. This adaptation process is carried out by adding waste water from the smallest concentration to the actual concentration. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of variations in organic load rate (OLR) on the acclimatization process in removing COD, biogas production in accordance with the pH of the anaerobic degradation process so that the optimal process of the acclimatization process can be obtained.

Abstract.

Accurate measurements of soil moisture content can contribute to resource conservation in irrigated systems. The objective of this study was to evaluate various soil moisture sensors (a porous cup tensiometer, Diviner 2000, PR2, XH300, PM100, and ML3; the mention of model names does not constitute an implied endorsement) used in four different soil types. The experiment was conducted inside a greenhouse using a specially constructed box that contained the soil samples. The soil samples were first saturated and subsequently drained before starting the measurements. The soil moisture content was determined by the oven-drying method. Using the standard deviation of the sensor readings, regression analyses were performed, resulting in calibration equations and coefficient of determination (R2) values for each sensor and soil type combination. The porous cup tensiometer, Diviner 2000, PR2, and ML3 measurements resulted in excellent R2 values that exceeded 0.95 for the four soils. However, measurements with the XH300 and PM100 sensors resulted in R2 values of 0.37 to 0.86 and 0.61 to 0.94, respectively, limiting their scientific applicability for the studied soils. Therefore, the porous cup tensiometer, Diviner 2000, PR2, and ML3 estimated the soil moisture content with greater confidence than did the other sensors and with an error of less than 5%. Keywords: Calibration, Tensiometer, Volumetric water content.
Potential Sources of Errors in Estimating Plant Sap Flow Using Commercial Thermal Dissipation Probes
Authors: Alizadeh Azadeh , Toudeshki Arash , Ehsani Reza , Migliaccio Kati
Published: December 2018

Thermal dissipation systems are a conventional technique to estimate sap velocity by determining the temperature difference between sap flow probes. The Thermal Dissipation Probe (TDP) method is commercially available and has been used by many researchers and professionals to estimate sap flow in plants. However, some errors and practical issues cause inaccuracy when evaluating plant sap velocity with this technique. Specifically, the sources of these errors are from the effect of the ambient thermal gradient (i.e., error caused by the cold junction location), the underestimation of nighttime sap flow, and the deficient thermal contact between the probe and tree body. This article focuses on errors associated with the traditional TDP, which effect on the thermal difference between the reference and heated probes. These errors vary as a nonlinear function of the transmitter length and the numbers of cold junctions which are affected by changes in the ambient temperature. Keywords: Ambient thermal gradient, Sap velocity, Thermal dissipation probe (TDP), Thermocouple cold junction.

Laboring to Belong: Differentiation, Spatial Relocation, and the Ironic Presence of (Un)Documented Immigrants in the United Farm Workers “Take Our Jobs” Campaign
Authors: Flores Lisa A.
Published: December 2018

In 2010, the United Farm Workers (UFW) launched a campaign titled “Take Our Jobs!” Explicitly directed at “Americans,” the campaign promised UFW training to applicants for jobs in the nation’s fields. With references to (un)documented immigrants within the nation, the campaign located debates on immigration within the nation, not at the border. I argue that the campaign relied upon irony and visibility politics, generating a logic of absurd reality that allowed audiences to differentiate themselves from (un)documented immigrants in ways that both reinscribe the racial figure of the deportable Mexican and see that figure, at least momentarily, in a humane way.

Authors: Van Kirk Nathaniel , Fletcher Terri L. , Wanner Jill L. , Hundt Natalie , Teng Ellen J.
Published: December 2018

Given the high degree of diagnostic overlap and limited empirical literature surrounding the comorbidity between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), appropriately conceptualizing the relationship between the comorbid symptoms and their impact on the treatment process can be challenging. This is especially true when the symptoms of the two disorders become functionally connected, with each symptom set maintaining the other. This article details the case of a veteran with comorbid PTSD and OCD who sought intensive trauma-focused treatment within the U.S. Veterans Health Administration. The dynamic relationship between his PTSD and OCD symptoms is described, along with its impact on trauma-focused treatment and the ability to maintain treatment gains. A novel attempt to integrate empirically based treatment strategies for OCD into intensive PTSD treatment, targeting both sets of symptoms simultaneously, is presented, along with implications for conceptualization and treatment of this comorbidity.

Published: December 2018

Identifying genes and pathways involved in domestication is critical to understand how species change in response to human-induced selection pressures, such as increased temperatures. Given the profound influence of temperature on fish metabolism and organismal performance, a comparison of how temperature affects wild and domestic strains of snapper is an important question to address. We experimentally manipulated temperature conditions for F1-hatchery and wild Australasian snapper (Chrysophrys auratus) for 18 days to mimic seasonal extremes and measured differences in growth, white muscle RNA transcription and hematological parameters. Over 2.2 Gb paired-end reads were assembled de novo for a total set of 33,017 transcripts (N50 = 2,804). We found pronounced growth and gene expression differences between wild and domesticated individuals related to global developmental and immune pathways. Temperature-modulated growth responses were linked to major pathways affecting metabolism, cell regulation and signaling. This study is the first step toward gaining an understanding of the changes occurring in the early stages of domestication, and the mechanisms underlying thermal adaptation and associated growth in poikilothermic vertebrates. Our study further provides the first transcriptome resources for studying biological questions in this non-model fish species.

Published: December 2018

Pediatricians are often the first to identify developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) and direct subsequent appropriate treatment. The general treatment principle of DDH is to obtain and maintain a concentric reduction of the femoral head in the acetabulum. Achieving this goal can range from less-invasive bracing treatments to more-invasive surgical treatment depending on the age and complexity of the dysplasia. In this review, we summarize the current trends and treatment principles in the diagnosis and treatment of DDH.

Authors: Shahid Shaneela , Florez Ivan D. , Mbuagbaw Lawrence
Published: December 2018

CONTEXT:

The eutectic mixture of lidocaine (EMLA) cream has been used to reduce the pain during venipuncture in infants.

OBJECTIVE:

To determine the efficacy and safety of EMLA in infants <3 months of age requiring venipuncture in comparison with nonpharmacological interventions in terms of pain reduction, change in physiologic variables, and methemoglobinemia.

DATA SOURCES:

Medline, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Web of Science, and gray literature were searched from inception to August 2017, without language restrictions.

STUDY SELECTION:

We selected randomized controlled trials in which researchers compared EMLA with nonpharmacological interventions.

DATA EXTRACTION:

Two reviewers independently performed abstract screening and full-text review, and extracted the data and assessed the risk of bias.

RESULTS:

Ten randomized controlled trials (907 infants) were included. EMLA revealed little or no effect in reduction of pain (standardized mean difference: 0.14; 95% confidence interval [CI]: −0.17 to 0.45; 6 trials, n = 742; moderate-quality evidence) when EMLA was compared with sucrose, breastfeeding, or placebo. In comparison with placebo, EMLA revealed a small-to-moderate effect on increasing methemoglobin levels (mean difference: 0.35; 95% CI: 0.04 to 0.66; 2 trials, n = 134; low-quality evidence). There was an increased risk of blanching of the skin in the EMLA group (relative risk: 2.63; 95% CI: 1.58 to 4.38; 2 trials, n = 123; I2 = 84%, very low–quality evidence).

LIMITATIONS:

Our results may not be applicable to older infants.

CONCLUSIONS:

EMLA reveals minimal benefits in terms of reduction of pain due to venipuncture procedure in comparison with placebo and no benefit in comparison with sucrose and/or breastfeeding. Moreover, it produced an elevation in methemoglobin levels and skin blanching.

Háttér

A leszbikus, meleg, biszexuális és transznemű (LMBT) személyek a többi kisebbségi csoporthoz hasonlóan egészségi szempontból veszélyeztetett populációnak számítanak. Megfelelő ellátásukat nehezítheti az egészségügyi személyzet részéről megmutatkozó előítéletesség, amely befolyásolja a megfelelő orvos–beteg kapcsolatot is. Mindezidáig nem készült olyan magyar felmérés, amely az egészségügyben dolgozók LMBT személyekkel kapcsolatos attitűdjeit vizsgálta volna, azért sem, mert nem állt rendelkezésre erre alkalmas validált, magyar nyelvű kérdőív.

Célkitűzés

A kutatás célja a Modern Homonegativitás Skála (MHS) kérdőív kulturális adaptációja és pszichometriai jellemzőinek vizsgálata.

Módszerek

Az MHS kérdőív hazai adaptációját hat lépésből álló módszertan szerint végeztük. A magyar nyelvű változatot 194 orvostanhallgató (Semmelweis Egyetem) és gyógypedagógus-hallgató (Eötvös Loránd Tudományegyetem) töltötte ki a keresztmetszeti vizsgálat során (31,8% férfi; átlagéletkor: 22,2 év, SD = 1,60 év, terjedelem: 18–29 év).

Eredmények

A kérdőívet magas belső konzisztencia jellemezi (Cronbach-α: 0,91, illetve 0,90 a homoszexuális férfiakra (MHS-G) és a leszbikus nőkre (MHS-L) vonatkozó változatokban). Konfirmatív faktoranalízissel igazoltuk a skála egydimenziós struktúráját (MHS-G: χ2 (54) = 135,69; p < 0,001; RMSEA = 0,09; CFI = 0,92; TLI = 0,91; MHS-L: χ2 (54) = 182,45; p < 0,001; RMSEA = 0,11; CFI = 0,89; TLI = 0,86). A három hét időintervallumban mért teszt–reteszt korreláció értéke 0,94. Az MHS mindkét alskáláján mért értékek pozitívan korrelálnak a kérdőív validálásának érdekében felvett, régi típusú homonegativitást vizsgáló Orvostanhallgatói Attitűd Kérdések pontszámaival (MHS-G: r = 0,59; p < 0,001; MHS-L: r = 0,56; p < 0,001).

Következtetések

Az MHS adaptációja sikeres volt, magyar változata homoszexuális és leszbikus személyekkel kapcsolatos attitűdök vizsgálatára alkalmas mérőeszköznek bizonyult.

CALCULATION OF «VULNERABILITY» ZONE IN CASE OF TERRORIST ATTACK WITH CHEMICAL AGENTS
Authors: Biliaiev M. M. , Berlov O. V. , Kalashnikov I. V. , Kozachyna V. A.
Published: December 2018

Purpose. The work involves the development of a numerical model for calculating the «vulnerability» zone of a possible terrorist attack objective with the use of a chemical agent in a built-up environment. The «vulnerability» zone is a territory near the attack objective, where the emission of a chemical agent during the attack will lead to undesirable consequences. The emission of a chemical agent outside the «vulnerability» zone will not create a dangerous concentration near the attack objective. Methodology. To solve this problem, we use the equation for the velocity potential, on the basis of which we determine the wind stream velocity field, and the equation adjoint to the equation of mass transfer in the atmospheric air of the chemical agent emitted in the event of a terrorist attack. During simulation, we take into account the uneven wind stream velocity field, atmospheric diffusion and the rate of emission of a chemically hazardous substance. For the numerical integration of the velocity potential equation, we use the method of A. A. Samarsky. For numerical solution of the adjoint equation, we introduce new variables and use an implicit difference splitting scheme. The peculiarity of the developed numerical model is the possibility of operative estimation of the «vulnerability» zone near a possible attack objective. Findings. The developed numerical model and computer program can be used for scientifically grounded assessment of the «vulnerability» zone near significant facilities in the event of possible attacks with the use of chemical (biological) agents. The constructed numerical model can be implemented on computers of small and medium power, which allows it to be widely used to solve the problems of this class when developing the emergency response plan. The results of the computational experiment are presented, which allow us to evaluate the possibilities of the proposed numerical model. Originality. An effective numerical model is proposed for calculating the «vulnerability» zone near the facility, which may be the target of a terrorist attack with the use of a chemical agent. The model is based on the numerical integration of the velocity potential equation and the equation adjoint to the equation of mass transfer of a chemically dangerous substance in the atmosphere. Practical value. The developed model can be used to organize protective actions near the target facility of a possible chemical attack by terrorists.
Propagation of reinforcement corrosion: principles, testing and modelling
Authors: Andrade Carmen
Published: December 2018

Reinforcement corrosion is the risk most frequently cited to justify concrete durability research. The number of studies specifically devoted to corrosion propagation, once the object of most specialised papers, has declined substantially in recent years, whilst the number addressing initiation, particularly where induced by chlorides, has risen sharply. This article briefly describes the characteristics of steel corrosion in concrete that need to be stressed to dispel certain misconceptions, such as the belief that the corrosion zone is a pure anode. That is in fact seldom the case and as the zone is also affected by microcells, galvanic corrosion accounts for only a fraction of the corrosion rate. The role of oxygen in initiating corrosion, the scant amount required and why corrosion can progress in its absence are also discussed. Another feature addressed is the dependence of the chloride threshold on medium pH and the buffering capacity of the cement, since corrosion begins with acidification. Those general notions are followed by a review of the techniques for measuring corrosion, in particular polarisation resistance, which has proved to be imperative for establishing the processes involved. The inability to ascertain the area affected when an electrical signal is applied to large-scale elements is described, along with the concomitant need to use a guard ring to confine the current or deploy the potential attenuation method. The reason that measurement with contactless inductive techniques is not yet possible (because the area affected cannot be determined) is discussed. The method for integrating corrosion rate over time to find cumulative corrosion, P
corr, is explained, together with its use to formulate the mathematical expressions for the propagation period. The article concludes with three examples of how to use corrosion rate to assess cathodic protection, new low-clinker cements or determine the chloride threshold with an integral accelerated service life method.
Seismic Design Evaluation of T Shaped Irregular Rc Building Plans By Using Pushover Analysis
Authors: MERT Necati , NZAPFAKUMUNSİ Alexis
Published: December 2018

This study has been conducted to find out how
Turkish Seismic Code 2007 is effective in providing the Life Safety (LS) and
Performance Level (PL) of T shaped plan irregularities reinforced concrete
multi-story buildings; with special lateral loads bearing moment frame systems.
For this purpose, a set of 12 multi-story residential buildings: 3- rectangular
plans as reference and their respective 9- different T shaped plans of 3-, 6-
and 8- stories were considered in the North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ) Turkey
and were designed based on the code. Then, a modal and a static non-linear
pushover analysis were conducted for all buildings. Base shear forces and roofs
displacement for each building were computed. Besides, the formation trend of
plastic hinges and their respective distribution in the entire buildings were
inspected for evaluating the seismic performances. Results show that for some
buildings the expected performance level which is LS has been overreached and
even in some cases buildings reach the collapse prevention level. Based on
this, it seems that the code provisions still require further upgrading to
create enough confidence in the civil engineering community.

Authors: Bergman Lars R. , Andershed Anna-Karin , Meehan Anna , Andershed Henrik
Published: December 2018

In this article, we give a presentation of the longitudinal research program Individual Development and Adaptation (IDA) that can be helpful as a template for researchers considering to launch their own longitudinal studies, and that opens the door to IDA for researchers looking for suitable data to be analyzed within their own project or in collab-oration with IDA. We also introduce the holistic-interactionistic theoretical framework of IDA and the associated person-oriented approach – an approach that is especially suited for analyzing the rich IDA data set with its broad coverage of different areas of adjustment and related factors. The paper provides an overview of the essential features of the IDA database, as well as of ongoing and planned IDA research.

Published: December 2018

The present paper considers daily hassles in different life domains, reveals their connections to the level of strain and perceived stress, investigates the role of psychological well-being and life satisfaction in the perception of the number of stressors and strain caused by stress. Methods: Inventory of daily stressors (Petrash et al.), Scale of perceived stress (Ababkov et al.), Psychological well-being scale (C. Ryff), Life satisfaction scale (E. Diener), a survey on satisfaction with different life domains. Sample: 334 adults aged 20—60 (118 males, 216 females). Results revealed hassles in all the life domains. Most pronounced hassles in women were those related to health, loneliness, competitiveness, job; most pronounced hassles in men were job-related, financial, health and family stressors. Perception of daily hassles was associated with an increase in the levels of stress overstrain and perceived stress. The number of stressors and the level of overstrain was higher in women. Psychological well-being, subjective well-being, and financial satisfaction were shown to be direct positive predictors of the number of perceived hassles and the level of overstrain.
Attachment Quality and Empathic Ability in Adolescence
Authors: Klimenkova E.N.
Published: December 2018

We present a review of recent empirical studies of different family factors influencing the development of empathy in children and adolescents that confirm the close relationship between empathy and attachment in adolescents. Parental sensitivity to the child’s condition proves to be the basis for secure attachment and empathy development during adolescence. Parenting style is considered as one of the most important factors influencing the development of empathy and the formation of secure attachment. We describe J. Stern’s conceptual model linking empathy and attachment, and the results of empirical studies confirming this model. Conclusions: the quality of attachment and empathy in adolescents are linked; parenting style mediates and defines this link between empathy and attachment; empathy and attachment have a common phylogenetic ground, that is, parental sensitivity to the child’s moods and needs. Psychoeducation with parents or couples planning to have children should be aimed at developing the ability to form a secure attachment with a child.
Existential Analysis of Freedom. on the Practical and Psychotherapeutic Substantiation of Personal Freedom (Part 1)
Authors: Langle A.
Published: December 2018

Freedom is the central theme in existential-oriented psychotherapy. At the beginning of the article, we show the importance of freedom for psychotherapy in general and described it as the central influencing element in existential-analytical sessions. Then the understanding of freedom in the anthropology of V. Frankl is described: freedom as a specific expression of the spiritual in man, which manifests itself in the will and in the search for meaning. The further development of existential analysis leads to the fact that will is comprehended broader than just in connection with the meaning — it is more closely related to conditioning, emotionality, the concept of self and the context. Freedom is understood as a process that is always carried out anew, it is conditioned by certain prerequisites and occurs in several stages through a dialogical exchange. Thus, freedom is expressed in the form of will as the intentionality of the whole person, and not only as a manifestation of his/her spirituality. This aspiration focuses on opportunities (not on the ideals or on the desired) and reaches a culmination in the act of consent.
Comparative Analysis of Two Intervention Approaches to Mental Development of Children with ASD
Authors: Nikolskaya O.S.
Published: December 2018

The paper presents a comparative analysis of the Emotional-Semantic approach and the DIR / Floortime approach to intervention in the childhood autism. Their conceptual similarities go as follows: both approaches are based on the idea of development and normal development principles, their goal is normalization of an autistic child’ mental development, they consider childhood autism as a biologically determined disorder connected to problematic affective sphere development and aim at engaging an autistic child into an emotionally valuable relationship. The approaches divert in considering the genesis of the affective sphere difficulties in autism, outlining diagnostic milestones, setting purposes of the adult’s joining the child’s activities and assessing intervention efficiency. Emotional-Semantic Approach considers the child’s inability to build relationships with the environment as a whole (not only with another person) as the main problem of the affective sphere development; it bases diagnostics on qualitative peculiarities of autistic disorder; it aims at helping the child comprehend the situation while developing joint and divided experiences and broadening the range of the child’s emotions.

Son yıllarda, küresel ısınma ve iklim değişikliği ile ormansızlaşma süreci hızlanmaktadır. Biyoçeşitliliğin önemli ölçüde yok olmasının yanında önemli genetik kaynaklar da yok olma riski altındadır. Doğada meydana gelen bu olumsun değişiklikleri önlemek için, doğal kaynakları ve ormanları koruma giderek önem kazanmaktadır. Çok yüksek kültürel ve bilimsel değere sahip olan Türkiye, birçoğu korunan ve korunması gereken doğal zenginliğe sahiptir. Bu zenginlikler arasında anıt ağaçlar önemli bir yer kaplamakta olup, bunlar bilimsel, kültürel, psikolojik, estetik ve turistik işlevler sağlamaktadır. Anıt ağaçlar, geçmişin farklı olayları hakkında önemli bilgiler içermektedir. Ayrıca orman kaynaklarının planlama aşamalarında türler açısından bir gen havuzu olarak işlev gören kaynaklardır. Bu çalışmada Gaziantep bölgesinde Genç-Güner yöntemi ile beş anıtsal nitelikli ağaç tespit edilmiştir. Ağaçların taç çapı, kabuk kalınlığı, göğüs yüksekliği çapı ve yüksekliği ölçülmüştür. Artım burgusu yardımı ile yaş tahminleri yapılmıştır. Anıt Ağaçların Ulusal Standardına (TS 13137) göre, beş ağacın ikisi fiziksel özellikleri nedeniyle anıt ağaç olarak tescillenmiştir. Yaklaşık 500 yaşlarında, 25 ve 26 m boylarında, 220 ve 226 cm çapında (göğüs yüksekliği) olan bu ağaçların, Doğu çınarı (Platanus orientalis L.) türü olup yörede doğal, önemli ölçüde kültürel ve estetik değere sahip oldukları belirlenmiştir.
Статья А. П. Сумарокова «О несогласии» в апрельской книжке журнала «Трудолюбивая Пчела»: текст и контекст
Authors: Растягаев Андрей Викторович , Сложеникина Юлия Владимировна
Published: December 2018

В статье исследуется семантическое ядро апрельского номера журнала «Трудолюбивая Пчела» — эссе А. П. Сумарокова «О несогласии». Актуальность проблемы исследования определяется тем, что журнал в целом и каждая помесячная его книжка в отдельности практически не попадают в сферу исследовательского внимания историков литературы и журналистики. Предложенная методология исследования основана на принципе синергии нескольких направлений современной филологической науки: истории русской литературы XVIII в., истории отечественной журналистики, истории русского литературного языка. Данный подход к анализу, интерпретации и пониманию журнального метатекста призван воссоздать целостную картину взаимодействия авторской интенции и читательского восприятия.

В статье исследуется смысл заглавия «О несогласии» как сильной позиции текста, реализующей интенцию автора на диалог с читателем-современником. Предпринимается попытка восстановления культурного контекста данного словоупотребления в произведениях Феофана Прокоповича, Петра I, В. К. Тредиаковского и М. В. Ломоносова.  Слово «несогласие» в письменных текстах XVIII в. актуализировалось в различных значениях. Однако только у Сумарокова оно вынесено в заглавие и помимо коммуникативной выполняет еще и смыслообразующую функцию.

Анализ композиции риторического сюжета эссе Сумарокова выявил основной принцип его построения — следование «простоте естества». Заявленный во вступлении тезис об истинных причинах несогласия между людьми — «несходство сердец» — объяснительно аргументируется тремя примерами различной тематики: любовной, имущественной и бытовой. Далее авторская мысль следует от простого к сложному и переходит на уровень обобщения в контексте всемирной истории. Ряд риторических вопросов автора в заключительной части статьи провоцирует читателя дать собственную этическую оценку поднятой в тексте проблеме.

Интерпретация поэтологического сюжета статьи последовательно воссоздает ее древнеримский и позднеантичный культурные контексты, также выявляет рецепцию традиции раннего английского Просвещения.

Исследование текста и контекста одной статьи апрельской книжки журнала позволяет сделать вывод о том, что журнал Сумарокова — не только новая эпоха в развитии российской журналистики, но и новое слово в поэтике и герменевтике, которые в середине XVIII в. усилиями авторов «Трудолюбивой Пчелы» приходят на смену риторике.
Кристофер Марло, понимаемый как протосоциолог
Authors: Луков Валерий Андреевич
Published: December 2018

Есть основания считать К. Марло протосоциологом, т. е. лицом, которое задолго до становления научной социологии увидело человека в общественных связях, поняло его место в социальном мире как на макро-, так и на микроуровне. Он, разумеется, нес идеи понимания социальности человека, которые его окружали в елизаветинскую эпоху и которые, что называется, носились в воздухе. Иначе не могло быть у молодого драматурга, погибшего в 29 лет. Но этим не умаляется его вклад в понимание человека как общественного существа. Было бы натяжкой видеть в К. Марло социолога, пытавшегося показать устройство английского общества XVI в. Но видеть в нем, как и в «университетских умах» его времени, и в У. Шекспире, протосоциологическую линию полезно и для развития исторической социологии, и для лучшего понимания и конструирования тех версий субъектной социологии, для которых важно стремление человека преобразовывать окружающий мир, в какие бы времена это ни происходило.

В основе статьи текст доклада автора на Первой Всероссийской научной конференции «Кристофер Марло и его творчество в русской и мировой культуре: междисциплинарный взгляд», которая прошла в Москве 22–23 июня 2018 г.
