Queer Archival Autoethnography in Ken Gonzales-Day’s Bone-Grass Boy
Authors: Heintz Ren
Published: May 2022

In 2017, queer Chicanx artist Ken Gonzales-Day put on an elaborate installation, titled Bone-Grass Boy, of glossy photographs, sculpture, mural, and mixed-media all seemingly taking place within the nineteenth-century US-Mexico borderlands. Accompanying the photographs is an old manuscript, also titled Bone-Grass Boy: The Secret Banks of the Conejos River, written by Ramoncita Gonzales in 1892. Gonzales-Day’s piece was inspired by a photograph he saw of his ancestor, a gender ambiguous person possibly named Ramoncita. Bone-Grass Boy, I suggest, is a type of speculative and performative archival practice through which Gonzales-Day brings together the erased histories of people of mixed racial, gendered, and sexual identities. I argue that the manipulation of media such as photography and the creation of a speculative archive is a type of queer archival practice that offers Ramoncita a place in history through Gonzales-Day’s queer present. I call this methodology “queer archival autoethnography,” which keeps close eyes on one’s own performative position in the archive, refusing any subject-object divide as well as past-present divide of either privileged or minoritarian archival encounters.
The Film Image of Bessie Smith
Authors: Pelejà Cinta
Published: May 2022

For decades, scholarly and popular literature have reproduced multiple stories about an alleged protest that the NAACP organized against the circulation and preservation of St. Louis Blues (1929), a Black-cast talkie that contains the only film image of Bessie Smith. This paper examines how these stories, as pervasive as they are unfounded, are versions of the same myth—one that I formulate as the NAACP protest myth and that, I speculatively argue, originates in the post-World War II years. From censorship boards’ repression of St. Louis Blues in Black movie theaters to Hollywood’s use of W.C. Handy’s 1914 song “St. Louis Blues,” the late 1940s produced a discursive field that promoted the emergence and persuasiveness of the NAACP protest myth. The location of this myth within its original historical context slowly uncovers new stances from which the social life of Smith’s film image can be retraced and examined.
Recipe for Rice and Beans
Authors: Ocasio Vega Mónica B.
Published: May 2022

Rice and beans is considered a staple dish of the Caribbean. This article traces the principles of sabor—a multisensorial image—in the dish of rice and beans in Puerto Rico. I argue that Ana Lydia Vega’s story “Historia de Arroz con Habichuelas” and the recipes for “Arroz Blanco” (White Rice) and “Habichuelas Rosadas Secas” (Dried Pink Beans) in Carmen Aboy Valldejuli’s vernacular cookbook Cocina Criolla set forward a multisensorial image I call sabor and invite us to participate in a sensorial life in the Caribbean. In considering the privileged place of the dish in the Puerto Rican culinary imaginary, I propose an analysis of the writing of and about food made possible through savoring—as an exercise that brings us closer to the particularity of the culinary.
Acetone Vapor Sensors Based on Tin Dioxide Doped by Au Nanoparticles
Authors: Ovodok E. , Kormosh V. , Bilanych V. , Ivanovskaya M.
Published: May 2022

The effect of nano-sized gold particles on the adsorption-sensitive properties of SnO2–Au sensors under the detection of acetone vapors has been studied. Different techniques for the preparation of SnO2–Au nanocomposites with an average Au particle size of 2 nm were applied. It has been found that a fivefold increase in the sensor response to acetone vapors and threshold sensitivity (Clim) of 0.1 ppm are achieved by adding gold to tin dioxide in the colloidal form during synthesis. While adding gold in ion form (Au (III)) leads to a growth of the sensor response to acetone vapors by 2.7 times and defines Clim of 0.2 ppm. The slope of the calibration curves of the SnO2–Au sensors allows registering acetone vapors at concentrations ranging from Clim to 5 ppm. This concentration range can be used for the express diagnostics in diabetes. The enhanced sensitivity of SnO2–Au sensors to acetone vapors can be explained by an increase in the adsorption-catalytic activity of tin ions as a result of the modifying effect of sulfate groups and the envolving of highly dispersed gold in the adsorption – catalytic process of oxidation of acetone molecules.

Authors: Mubarokah Lailatul , Roebianto Adiyo , Sari Arni
Published: May 2022

Humans will always face challenges that interfere with their course of life. Their responses to face those challenges or resilience are varied, depending on environmental aspects. The discussion on resilience is used to understand the reasons why individuals can be more resistant to challenges than other individuals. The aspect that influences and forms resilience is the environment. One form of the influential environment is the environment in which humans are born or reside. The demographic characteristics of the Indonesian region are one form of the physical environment which is divided by geography (West Indonesia, Central Indonesia, and East Indonesia) and by type of administrative area (District and Municipalities). This study employed a quantitative approach to measure the construct validity of the CCRAM instrument which has been translated into Indonesian. This study involved 518 people (N = 518) as participants who came from three regions of Indonesia, namely East, Central, and West Indonesia. The research instrument was a questionnaire containing statements/items related to community resilience. After the data were collected online, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was conducted to check the validity of each item on each dimension/construct. The results indicate that all dimensions and items were declared to meet the fit or valid criteria.

Published: May 2022

Este estudo propôs-se a investigar qual a preferência por estilos de resolução de conflitos dos jovens da Geração Z. O estudo foi realizado com o emprego de pesquisa descritiva de natureza quantitativa. Procurou-se relacionar o conjunto de variáveis demográficas (sexo, nível de escolaridade e faixa de renda) com os cinco estilos de resolução de conflitos presentes no referencial teórico de construção do instrumento utilizado. Os dados foram coletados por meio da aplicação do questionário “Estratégias para resolução de conflitos”, Jesuíno, 1996 para uma amostra de 141 jovens pertencentes à Geração Z. Em seguida, os dados foram tratados nos softwares Excel e SPSS (IBM Corp, 2013), com aplicação de análises descritivas e inferenciais (Alfa de Cronbach, Correlação de Pearson (ρ), Análise de Variância, MANOVA e ANOVA). Quanto à preferência por cada um dos estilos de resolução de conflito, considerando a amostra pesquisada, constatamos que a maior correlação apresentada foi entre os estilos de compromisso e colaboração. Para os jovens da Geração Z o compromisso só pode ser alcançado por meio da colaboração, configurando-se em estilos complementares.
A Lenda do Golem e suas repercussões no pensamento de Viktor Frankl
Authors: Aquino Thiago Avellar
Published: May 2022

O presente artigo teve por objetivo identificar em que aspecto a lenda judaica do Golem exerceu influências no pensamento de Viktor Frankl. Em alguns dos seus livros, Viktor Frankl fez referência a um ser mítico da cultura judaica: o Golem. Qual o significado desta figura lendária para a construção de sua visão de homem? O artigo se justifica na medida em que visa compreender a influência da cultura religiosa de um autor em sua obra. Dessa forma, procedeu-se uma breve análise bibliográfica acerca das referências sobre o Golem na obra de Frankl e na religião judaica. As narrativas dessa lenda possivelmente causaram um grande impacto no autor; dessa forma, os principais resultados apontam para uma influência na concepção judaica de homem no estilo de pensamento do autor. Concluiu-se que Frankl foi influenciado mais pela forma judaica de compreender o mundo, o que o ajudou a dar forma ao conteúdo do seu pensamento, conforme se constatou por meio da história do Golem.
A linguagem da fé na perspectiva de Paul Ricoeur
Authors: Xavier Donizete José
Published: May 2022

ResumoEste artigo tem por objetivo analisar a especificidade da linguagem religiosa à luz do pensamento de Paul Ricoeur. Considerando a linguagem como fenômeno global que toca todo o universo da existência humana, o filósofo encontra na fenomenologia da linguagem e em seus elementos específicos uma função específica que tangencia as estruturas de uma linguagem superabundante de sentido. Para Ricoeur, categoricamente o discurso religioso não carece de sentido, uma vez que é por si uma linguagem de fé capaz de desvelar novas dimensões da realidade e da verdade. Nesse sentido, o artigo examina a linguagem religiosa em sua capacidade de proporcionar e comunicar a experiência religiosa. Analisa o discurso religioso sob aspecto linguístico ricoeuriano ressaltando que o discurso religioso não pretende ser apenas significativo, mas também verdade, e, para isso, é preciso reconhecer o valor dessa verdade desse tipo de linguagem a partir dos seus próprios critérios emprestados do discurso filosófico. Por fim, considera ainda que são os múltiplos jogos de linguagens que fazem figurar o auto aplicativo, o performativo e o parabólico na eclosão da expressividade humana em sua constituição simbólica.Palavras-chave: linguagem, poética, sentido, referência.

Experimentation anxieties of pre-school and primary school teacher candidates
Authors: Baysen Engin , Baysen Fatma
Published: May 2022

Experimentation is widely accepted as being central to science education. However, anxiety about experimentation often prevents its use. While a considerable number of studies on anxiety related to laboratory experimentation have been conducted, studies on in class experimentation is limited. In the research study reported on here we explored the anxiety about in-class experimentation of teachers as enacted in pre-school and primary school (PP) education. We also searched for possible similarities in the anxiety of the pre-school and primary school teacher candidate (TC) cohorts to explain the persistence of their anxiety. TCs responded to an open-ended question through a qualitative analysis procedure. The levels of anxiety were classified into three categories: low, moderate, and high. The time when the TCs experienced the anxiety was classified into 3 other categories: backstage, stage, and finale, which were coupled with the levels of anxiety. Quantitative analysis showed that there was a high similarity between the two cohorts of TCs’ experimentation anxieties. We conclude that teacher candidates’ future students would encounter a continuous, uninterrupted, unfavourable anxiety-filled environment with regard to experiments throughout their PP.
Identity formation of non-native English-speaking teachers and prospective teachers through perceptions towards native-speakerism: the Turkish Cypriot story
Authors: Akinmulegun Taye Emmanuel , Kunt Naciye
Published: May 2022

In this article we report on a study in which we used native-speakerism as a lens to investigate the identity formation of non-native English-speaking teachers and prospective teachers in Northern Cyprus. A qualitative method through narratives was used to access the thoughts and experiences of the participants. In the study the participants’ identity formation was revealed by 3 concepts: self-image, self-efficacy, and beliefs about teaching and learning. The findings reveal that the participants had positive and high self-efficacy and self-image with regard to teaching English. Weaknesses often create self-doubt; the participants recognised their weaknesses which propelled them to invest more in themselves. Wheatley (2002) states that teachers’ learning and professional growth can be instigated through a level of self-doubt and weaknesses about their abilities. Similarly, their beliefs, a core reflection of their identity, were catalysts to being English language teachers.

Published: May 2022

Aim. To develop a model for predicting the subclinical carotid atherosclerosis (SCA) in order to refine cardiovascular risk (CVR) using machine learning methods in overweight and obese patients without hypertension, diabetes and/or cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Material and methods. Anonymized database (DB) Webiomed (2.9 million patients) was used. There were following inclusion criteria: age ≥18 years, body mass index ≥25 kg/m2, availability of data on ultrasound of extracranial arteries. Patients with hypertension, diabetes and/or CVD were excluded from the analysis. Data on 5750 patients were selected, of which atherosclerotic plaques were detected in 385 people. The final data set contained information on 447 patients, 197 (44,1%) of which had SCA. Quantitative and categorical traits for model training were taken with 40% occupancy in the database. The number of final traits for machine learning was 28. When creating the model, 3 Random Forest algorithms, AdaBoostClassifier, KNeighborsClassifier and the Scikit-learn library were used. To improve the model performance, the fill missing function was used. The target parameters of the model were given a predictive ability (accuracy) of at least 75%, while the area under the ROC curve was at least 0,75.

Results. The resulting dataset was divided into training and test parts in a ratio of 80:20. Depending on the applied algorithms, the learned model was characterized by a predictive ability of 75-97%, sensitivity of 77-92%, specificity of 80-98%, and area under the ROC-curve of 0,88-0,97. Taking into account the accuracy metrics, the best results were obtained for the model learned by the Random Forest algorithm (95%, 92%, 98% and 0,95, respectively).

Conclusion. The developed model can help a physician make a decision to refer an overweight and obese patient without cardiovascular diseases for ultrasound of extracranial arteries, which contributes to a more accurate CVR stratification. The introduction of such risk stratification algorithms into practice will increase the accuracy and quality of CVR prediction and optimize the system of preventive measures.

Published: May 2022

The introduction of novel biomarkers necessitates their detailed study in patients with different heart failure (HF) phenotypes as part of a personalized approach to assessing the disease severity and predicting outcomes.

Aim. To assessthe activity of following neurohormonal systems: N-terminal probrain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and galectin-3 in HF with preserved, mildly reduced and reduced ejection fraction (EF).

Material and methods.  In 69 patients with NYHA class II-IV HF,  along with a general clinical examination, the level of NT-proBNP and serum galectin-3 was determined by enzyme immunoassay.

Results. Patients included in the study were divided into 3 groups: preserved EF (HFpEF) — 23 patients, mildly reduced EF (HFmrEF) — 26 patients, and reduced EF (HFrEF) — 20 patients. In patients with HF, the level of galectin-3 did not directly depend on EF, but was associated with NT-proBNP level as follows: there was a tendency to increase the concentration of galectin-3 in the tertile groups of NT-proBNP. Correlation analysis revealed significant feedback (r=-0,41, p<0,05) between galectin-3 and left ventricular EF only in patients with preserved systolic function. In the same group of HFpEF patients, the maximum values of serum galectin-3 indices were noted, reaching 10,5 [6,5; 14,5] ng/ml.

Conclusion. Analysis of neurohormonal activity demonstrated a unidirectional increase in NT-proBNP and galectin-3 in patients with HF, regardless of left ventricular EF, while the maximum values of galetin-3 were observed in patients with HFpEF.

Abstract Eimeria species have importance to calves because of the economic losses. The aim of this study was to identify the species of Eimeria that affect calves and the risk factors associated with its natural infection. Fecal samples (387) were collected from dairy farms in the southern Agreste of Pernambuco. The feces were evaluated using the Gordon & Whitlock technique and were cultured in 2.5% potassium dichromate for sporulation of oocysts. Odds ratio (OR) were calculated to assess risk factors. Eimeria spp. were detected in 50.65% (196/387) of the samples. Eleven species were identified, being Eimeria bovis (26.64%; 548/2057), Eimeria zuernii (19.69%; 405/2057) and Eimeria ellipsoidalis (14.49%; 298/2057) those more frequent. Small herds (OR = 1.93), calves aged up to six months (OR = 2.12), absence of manure pit (OR = 7.52), fortnightly cleaning (OR = 4.71), collective calf pens (OR = 3.26), manual milking (OR = 2.16) and absence of veterinary care (OR = 2.28) were considered to be risk factors. The data revealed pathogenic species in more than 50% of the farms. Thus, the importance of adopting sanitary measures to reduce the spread of these protozoa in herds should be done, because of economic losses associated with its infection.

Com base nessa prerrogativa busca-se alargar o debate produção teórica que delineia a criação da democracia implicada com e na educação democrática. Pretende-se fomentar a operacionalização do pensamento em torno de possibilidades de democracia, e educação elaborada a partir da operacionalização de conceitos por Laclau, Mouffe e Bute. Argumenta-se que, diante da tomada e ascensão ao poder do Estado pelos governos neoliberais e neoconservadores no cenário global,além da democracia política-se necessário pensar para das ideias universais advindos da moderna democracia de criação e não democrática e democracia democrática e pautada pelo poder da sociedade democrática liberal burguesa de universalidade da sociedade democrática. Com base nos conceitos de democracia radical e diferença, compreende-se a aliança entre neoliberais e neoservidores de correção de um jogo de equivalências incapazes de contemplar a pluralidade de demandas em disputa no ambiente contemporâneo. Trata-se da produção discursiva da democracia enquanto uma totalidade discursiva que, em verdade, é parcial, precária e contingente.Demandas que se tornam insatisfeitas passam a compor o exterior constitutivo da aliança forjada entre neoliberais e neoconservadores. Pensar, portanto, democracia radical articulada à educação exige operar pela, ou seja, aberta às demandas diferentes, no jogo de disputas políticas que permanecem como exterior constitutivo do projeto hegemônico. Isto porque a democracia radical permite compreender e criar outras cadeias de equivalências que podem projetar e disputar com mais força as lutas contra hegemônicas.

O modelo a ser implementado pelo Ministério da Educação é um reforço aqui e se baseou no “alto” dos Colégios Militares do Exército. Tal programa tem servido para enaltecer a adoção de práticas disciplinares militares como estratégia de aprimoramento e sucesso na educação. Para darmos conta dessa problematização, uma história do presente. Iremos relacionar e embasar esse ensaio de cunho pós-estruturalista com Michel Foucault e sua arqueologia, aprofundando em questões de saber-poder de cada educação, para localizarmos, então, por meio de discursos e enunciados, como condições e, a priori, o discurso de militarizar a pública, que tomou força histórica e atingiu o lugar de poder. Foucault, seus estudos, subverte a noção de pensamento analítico, linearidade como descontínuas; além disso, problematiza a “verdade” vista como absoluta, universal, investigando o “dito verdadeiro”. O instrumento de teses e dissertações da CAPES serviu como análise para localizarmos, por meio de produção científica.

Published: May 2022

Introduction: A large number of electrocardiograms (ECG) are shared on Twitter every day. Some of them aim to provide information to the readers, and some of them aim to provide training with a mini quiz. This study aimed to discuss the evaluability of ECG images shared on Twitter.
Methods: The study sample consisted of 12-lead ECG images shared on Twitter. ECG images shared on 08/01/2020 - 01/31/2021 were manually scanned.
Results: A total of 286 tweets matching the criteria were included in the study on the specified dates. The majority of them (n = 231. 80.5%) asked the reader about the ECG. The average number of the tweets' interactions was 70.42 ± 112.17, and the interaction was mainly in the form of "likes" (50.49 ± 80.64). 83.5% of ECGs had a rhythm strip. Total interaction numbers and other parameters were compared. ECGs from which small squares could be selected collected more interactions (p = 0.015). ECGs explained the case or whose diagnosis was clearly stated collected more interactions (p <0.001). Also, it was observed that ECGs without a rhythm strip contained more interaction (p <0.001).
Conclusions: We concluded that 12-derivation ECGs shared on Twitter are highly evaluable. There was also a moderate correlation between the number of followers and the number of interactions. For this reason, it is important for accounts with a high number of followers to following that are experts in their field to prevent information pollution.

Evaluation of Preliminary Results Of Laparoscopic and Open Surgery in Gastrectomy For Gastric Cancer: Single-Center Experience
Authors: ALKURT Ertugrul Gazi , DURAK Doğukan , TURHAN Veysel Barış
Published: May 2022

Aim: This study aims to compare the early results of laparoscopic and open surgery of gastric cancer, which is the sixth most common cancer in all age groups and both genders.
Materials and Methods: Patients who were operated on for gastric cancer between May 2018 and October 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. The data of patients who underwent laparoscopic and open surgery were collected and short-term results were compared. Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to determine the normal distribution, mean+standard deviation, and median (minimum-maximum) were used for continuous values. Student-t-test was used for parametric measurements and the Mann-Whitney-u test was used for non-parametric measurements. The chi-square test was used for categorical variables.
Results: The results of 140 patients included in the study were analyzed. In laparoscopic surgery, the length of stay in the intensive care unit was shorter and the number of lymph nodes removed was found to be higher. Length of hospital stay and postoperative complications were similar. The operation time was longer in laparoscopic surgeries.
Conclusion: Considering the results of this study, in which we compared our short-term results, we can predict that laparoscopic gastric resection can be safely performed by experienced surgeons in appropriate centers. As surgical experience increases, we believe that laparoscopy, which is the gold standard in surgeries such as gallbladder, appendectomy, and prostatectomy, may become the gold standard in gastric cancer surgery in the future.

Published: May 2022

Aim: Early prediction of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) disease severity is important to reduce mortality. Therefore, we sought to determine the clinical correlation between these baseline routine laboratory parameters and their effects on mortality, by retrospectively investigating the routine laboratory parameters of hospitalized COVID-19 patients on admission day.
Materials and methods: This retrospective-observational study population consisted of 415 hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Patients were divided into three groups (mild, moderate, and severe) according to their clinical status on admission day. On admission, fifteen routine biochemical and hematological laboratory parameters of COVID-19 patients were evaluated.
Results: Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), ferritin, International Normalized Ratio (INR), and d-dimer levels were higher in non-survivors than in survivors, regardless of the initial disease severity group classification. No statistically significant difference was found between the groups in terms of uric acid, monocyte, and platelet count.s
Conclusions: There is a need for an urgent scale for detecting COVID-19 severity. AST, ALT, LDH, ferritin, INR, and d-dimer levels may help predict the disease’s severity in COVID-19.
CHINESE CINDERELLAAND HER RUSSIAN “SISTERS” (COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF FAIRYTALES TYPE ATU 510A)
Authors:   Independent researcher Kaliningrad,, Ten Van
Published: May 2022

The articlecompares the Chinese and Russian versions of fairy tales related to the plot type of ATU 510A “Cinderella”. The Chinese history of “Ye Xian”is known as part of a literary monument of the IX century; Russian texts having a folklore nature appeared much later, in the XIX century. Their comparison allows us toidentify common plot elements and culturally determined differences. In addition, the inclusion of a literary monument with oral origins in the corresponding typological series of folklore works reveals the range of “narrative perspectives”of the plot: the set of possible variations of narrative elements and their semantic possibilities becomes more obvious. The Chinese version of “Cinderella”has obvious genre features of a fairy tale: its main character is an orphan girl who is rewarded inthe end by marriage with the ruler, who found her by the shoe shelost.The plot of “Ye Xian”is a contamination with another plot type: in the first part of the fairy tale, the main character receives help from thebones of a magic animal (a large fish, which she tookcare of). At the same time, the narrative frame models the fairy tale as the life story of a particular girl who belonged to the Dong people. A peculiar violation of the narrative laws of a folk tale can be seen in the fact that after the wedding, the life of the main character is pushed to the periphery of the plot, and the events associated with her husband, the ruler of the island, are in the center. The Chinese version is also interesting because itincludes signs of a different genre –an etiological legend: the story of Ye Xian becomes an explanation of the local toponym and the revered object named by it (the legendary grave of a stepmother and her daughter, where people came to ask for a good bride).The appendix to the article includes the author'stranslation of the fairy tale “Ye Xian”from Chinese into Russian.

Published: May 2022

The text will follow the appearance of the first children's works in the Macedonian literary XIX century. Their significance, despite the fact that they do not have high aesthetic values, is neverthelessgreat, because they respondedto theneeds of the time. Furthermore,they give us the opportunity to determine the continuity ofdevelopment of Macedonian children's literature, which has primary importance for the mental, emotional and educational developmentof children. We note,especially inthe last few years,thatthe interest forchildren's literatureis great, both by authors and bypublishers, who have started republishing works. Thisconfirms the universality of children's literature, with its timeless themes and motives which are interesting, intriguing, attractive, fun, fulfilling their ultimatepedagogicalfunction, directing the child towardsbetter life principles.Up until the Enlightenment, there was no interest in the child, except for thesolitary manifestations by John Locke, Jan Amas Komensky and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. A real interest in the child was shown in the time of Romanticism. Withinthe Macedonian cultural development there is an interest shown in children during the Enlightenment, at the beginning of the XIX century.Thefirst books published in the vernacular were intended for adults, but at the same time provided directionsfor better upbringing of children. The first authors of children's works,among the series of their activities, were collectors of folk art whowerealso engaged in education. Authors of the so far discovered works for children are Partenija Zografski, Jordan Hadzi Konstantinov Dzinot, Grigor Prlichev, Evtim Sprostranov, Tomo Sminjanic Bradina, and we will also acknowledgeMarko Cepenkov
OVERTHROWING THE MATRIARCH: „ STRIBOR'S FOREST“ AND „BRIDESMAN SUN AND BRIDE BRIDEKINS“
Authors:   Faculty of Humanities and Social SciencesUniversity in  Zagreb, Radman Vivijana
Published: May 2022

If we understand „Croatian Tales of Long Ago“ not only as a collection of fairy tales, but also as an authentic piece of women's writing, i.e. as a text that records, embodies and articulates gender specific experience, new venues open for the analysis of this literary masterpiece..The two tales discussed, „ Stribor's Forest“ and „Bridesman Sun and Bride Bridekins“, I understand as the two sides of a coin, the two solutions of the same problem. On the surface, the two stories seem to have different plots and different characters, but if we look beyond the manifest content we find the same conflict latent to both tales: the conflict of the two generations of women, the old mother and the daughter in law. Talestalk about subverting and re-establishing female hierarchies, about subjecting to or rebelling against the rule of the matriarch. In both tales, the masculine is marginal, a mere object, while feminine is active; the subject. The female position, differentiated into the heroine and the villain(esse), is in each of the stories studied from the different perspective, i.e. the different character is the subject. „Stribor's forest“ demonizes the daughter in law and proclaims her power over the male illegal andher sexuality monstrous, while the old mother is raised to the pedestal of the defender of the righteous order of the maternal rule. In contrast, „Bridesman Sun and Bride Bridekins“ casts the rebel in the role of the heroine. Rejecting the maternal choice of a husband, she opposes oppressive maternal rule, described as monstrous, and successfully takes over.
THE SOCIO-HISTORICAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL CONDITIONS OF THE ORIGIN OF THE SCIENCE FICTIONGENRE
Authors:   Faculty of Philosophy in Niš, Milosavljević Ilija
Published: May 2022

The science fiction genre in all types of media is often neglected in the serious discussion of the scientific public.

THE ELECTRONIC DICTIONARY “THE MYTHOLOGICAL VOCABULARY OF THE PERM REGION” AS A BASIS FOR LINGUO-GEOGRAPHIC RESEARCH: NOMINATIONS OF THE MERMAID IN ANAREAL PERSPECTIVE
Authors:   Perm State University, Granova Мariia A.
Published: May 2022

The paper demonstrates the possibilities of using the electronic dictionary “The Mythological Vocabulary of the Perm Region” in linguo-geographical research: in the areal aspect, nominations of the mermaid that have been noted in the region are considered. A corresponding linguistic map has been created with the help of the dictionary. The analysis shows that the all-Russian unit rusalkais the most widespread one in the region and has been recorded in the majority of its districts. Someareasformspecial nominations (chertovka, leshachikha, vodianaia, shishiga, poludnitsa). The rest of the names are local. The absence of names for the mermaid, common to the entire Perm territory, and the presence of many local nominations indicate the graduallossof ideas about this character in the Permian mythological tradition. The commonality of the regional tradition is maintained only at the level of individual beliefs, not the language. Beliefs that are represented in the nominations of the mermaid andsupport the integrity of her image in the region include ideas about her demonic nature, her place of residence, the presence of her long hair, the prohibition to call her by her direct name and about the need toappease her. The advantage of the electronic dictionary “The Mythological Vocabulary of the PermRegion” when creating a linguistic map is the ability to go both from the vocabulary (through the section “Mythological character”) and from the geographical label (through the section “Geographic indexof lexical units”). Both approaches make it possible to compile a map faster than when working with a paper dictionary, since the dictionary makes it possible to automatically either get a list of all mapped units, or not to refer to dictionary entries atall, but to work only with geographical labels.
INCORRECT SPEECH IMPACT: TEXT AND МETATEXT
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Frolova Olga E.
Published: May 2022

The article analyzes the interview given by the political consultant G. Pavlovskyto I. Shikhman, which is a kind of a metatext of manipulating public opinion. The manipulation model for the manipulator assumes that the addressee becomes an instrument to achieve a goal, for the addressee himself the manipulator is an equal participant in communication. Therefore, the concept of a point of view should be introduced into the description of manipulation, since only if the points of view on a communicative act do not coincide, the manipulator can achieve success. The 1999 situation that Pavlovsky describes –forming a new leader and ensuring electoral success –is possible with certain qualities of society, which the speaker characterizes as “weakness”. The structure of this situation may be described as follows: the sender is the speaker, the addressee, the customer, the object is a new leader, the model is an intelligent security officer, the tool is the media, the goal is to elect a new leader.

You’ve Opened Your Doors: What’s Next?

During the heart of the COVID-19 pandemic, when nearly all lending of books and physical materials in the collections of college and research libraries was impossible due to campus closures, many HathiTrust member libraries participated in the Emergency Temporary Access Service (ETAS). This program permitted patrons of eligible libraries to access—in a limited fashion—a digitized HathiTrust book that corresponded to a physical book held in the collection of the member library. Although the ETAS was closed down after libraries reopened their doors, many libraries are exploring similar “controlled digital lending” services that leverage limitations and exceptions to copyright to support digital access options for patrons.

A Commentary on the Educational Inclusion of Vulnerable Youth After Covid‐19
Authors: Gouvias Dionysios
Published: May 2022

This is a commentary on the articles published in this issue, which are devoted to the effects of the Covid‐19 pandemic on the educational inclusion prospects of vulnerable children and young people. The articles presented in the thematic issue are especially focused on case studies at either national or international comparative levels. Their findings, in general, are in line with existing research, which was initiated during the first stages of the pandemic, and demonstrate the pandemic’s adverse effects on existing disadvantaged health, educational, and social conditions. However, they raise interesting issues about promising methods and practices, as well as possible empowering tools that emerged through the use of ICTs and the implementation of various social policy measures through various digital platforms. They also point out the intersectionality of various factors generating or reinforcing social inclusion, something that has to be taken into account, not only by researchers, social welfare officials, and state agents, but also by activists and NGOs who work in the field.
MINING, ALCHEMY, AND THE CHANGING CONCEPT OF MINERALS FROM ANTIQUITY TO EARLY MODERNITY
Authors: BARTON ISABEL
Published: May 2022

This paper analyzes how the Western concept of minerals evolved over time. Greco-Roman philosophers saw minerals as a form of plant that yielded useful metals or medicines. Most of their data came from mines and focused on ore minerals, but medicinal uses were more highly regarded and were the principal intentional focus of early mineral literature. As mining waned in the early medieval period, the focus of mineral literature shifted to emphasize gemstones rather than ores and mysticism rather than metallurgy, while medicine continued to be prominent. Descriptions from firsthand observation became rare.

Starting in the 9th century AD, an inorganic concept of minerals as chemicals began to arise from alchemical experiments in the Middle East. The alchemical mineral literature demonstrated that minerals differed from plants in being separable into constituent ingredients by chemical processes, focusing on ores. The sulfur-mercury model of mineral origin also reflects a strong emphasis on metal ores at the expense of other minerals. As mining rates increased again in Europe after the 10th century, this alchemical concept of minerals caught on. However, the alchemical model acquired a spiritual gloss, leading to a divide in the 16th century between a spiritualized organic model of minerals and an inorganic or mechanical alternative, both focused mainly on ores. Eventually the concept of spiritual or living minerals diverged from the mineral to the alchemical literature in the 16th century, as the mechanical model evolved into the modern chemical identification of minerals.
ON ‘RE-TREADING’ EARLY GEOLOGICAL FIELDWORK
Authors: RUDWICK MARTIN J. S.
Published: May 2022

The method of ‘re-treading’ the fieldwork of past geologists is analogous to the method of ‘re-staging’ historically significant laboratory experiments. Neither provides any short cut to scientific or historical truth, nor grounds for celebrating or condemning the work of past scientists. Yet both can yield valuable insights into those scientists’ on-the-spot thinking, their reasoning and their eventual presentation of their conclusions. As a historical research method, the ‘re-treading’ of fieldwork has been relatively neglected, although it has many parallels with more traditional methods centred on the analysis of texts and their accompanying images. This paper summarises a few examples of ‘re-treading’, drawn from the author’s published research on fieldwork by European geologists in the decades around 1800; but the methods described here can be, and deserve to be, adopted much more widely.
THE NEWBERRY-WHITTLESEY CONTROVERSY AND ITS PROTAGONISTS: BACKGROUND, ARGUMENTS, AND OUTCOME OF A BITTER FEUD
Authors: HANNIBAL JOSEPH T.
Published: May 2022

In 1869 a bitter feud broke out between two preeminent Ohio geologists, John Strong Newberry (1822–1892), and Colonel Charles Whittlesey (1806–1886), beginning with the naming of Newberry as State Geologist for Ohio, a position that both had lobbied for. The two protagonists had much in common, including their interests in Ohio geology, but they also had different geological and class backgrounds, interests, and talents. Whittlesey waged an unremitting campaign against the organization and emphasis of the Newberry Survey for more than a decade. This long battle played out on the political and public stage, with an exchange of acrimonious letters in newspapers across Ohio. Some of Whittlesey’s charges, such as absenteeism, were valid, and Newberry’s replies were overly strident. Newberry had supporters, including James Hall, but Whittlesey gained the support of Leo Lesquereux and Ebenezer B. Andrews, as well as many legislators and at least one influential newspaper. Whittlesey and Newberry made many contributions to geology and both have important geological features named for them. Both are buried in Cleveland’s Lake View Cemetery.
