Authors: Llamas-Clark Erlidia Flores , Rosell-Ubial Paulyn Jean Buenaflor , Naoe Angelle Mae Lacebal
Published: September 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly affected public health systems worldwide, including the Philippines. This perspective article analyzes findings from a multicenter prospective study conducted in Metro Manila from September 2021 to September 2022, focusing on the risks posed by COVID-19 to pregnant women. The study, encompassing 500 participants, revealed that significant risk factors among unvaccinated individuals included pregnancy, white-collar employment, prior vaccine-preventable disease (VPD) infections, and international travel during the pandemic. Protective factors included higher education, contraception use, and history of VPD immunization. Policy recommendations emphasize the development of targeted health education programs to inform decision-making on contraception, vaccination, and maternal health. Integration of COVID-19 vaccination into routine antenatal care is essential, alongside promoting hygiene measures and physical distancing in health-care settings. Strengthening health-care consultations and telemedicine services is crucial to ensure comprehensive maternal care. In addition, robust monitoring systems for vaccine uptake and health outcomes are recommended to enhance public health responses and mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on pregnant women in the Philippines.

Abstract

Background:

Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune multisystem disorder. There has been a limited number of reported cases from Nigeria.

Objectives:

To determine the awareness and frequency of encounters with APS cases by medical practitioners in health institutions in South East Nigeria.

Materials and Methods:

It was a descriptive cross-sectional study. All medical doctors met in the clinics who were willing to participate in the study were recruited during the period of the study. Statistical Package for Social Sciences was used for data entry, validation, and analysis.

Results:

A total of 581 study questionnaires were distributed to medical doctors met at the clinics and clinical meetings of five hospitals in Southeast Nigeria however, 581 were approximately filled and retrieved, giving an response rate of 94.84%. Males were 383 (69.5%) and females were 168 (30.5%). A total of 445 (80.8%) were unaware of the autoimmune multisystemic nature of APS. Of the 551 respondents, 348 (63.2%) were aware that Rheumatologist is the primary care physician for APS, 290 (52.6%) reported rarity of APS, and 366 (66.4%) had up to 50% overall knowledge of APS. Respondents’ encounters with unexplained thrombotic events and unexplained stroke in the young were limited. A total of 62 (11.3%) were aware of the international classification criteria for APS.

Conclusion:

The authors conclude that APS awareness among medical practitioners in South East Nigeria is suboptimal.

Authors: Chandrasekaran Suja Angelin , John Hima B. , Padankatti Sanjeev Manasseh , Lydia D Miraclyn , Gowri S Mahasampath , Santhanam Sridhar
Published: September 2024

Background:

Parenting style may be an important and modifiable contributor to behavioral difficulties in very preterm children.

Objectives:

This study assessed the relationship between parenting styles and the behavior of very preterm and term preschool children.

Study Design:

This was a cross-sectional comparative study.

Methods:

The Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire were administered to 30 parents of very preterm children and 30-term children.

Results:

Children of permissive parents were more likely to demonstrate problems with behavior compared to children of authoritative parents (95% confidence interval [CI], odds ratio [OR]: 37.4 [3.6–392.6]) in the Chi-square analysis adjusted for socioeconomic status. Children of permissive parents exhibited higher rates of emotional problems (95% CI, OR: 5.2 [1.2–22.3]), hyperactivity (95% CI, OR: 7.05 [1.6–31.6]), and decreased prosocial behavior (95% CI, OR: 6.5 [1.5–28.2].

Conclusion:

Permissive parenting was found to be associated with behavioral difficulties. This reiterates the role of parent education in teaching functional strategies for handling children’s behavior.
Effectiveness of Play-mediated Video Modeling on Play in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Quasi-Experimental Study
Authors: Sethuhemalakshmi G. , Anbarasu D.
Published: September 2024

Background:

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition, characterized by deficits in social communication and repetitive behaviors. Children with ASD often exhibit significant challenges in play behavior, particularly in symbolic and imaginative play, which are crucial for social, cognitive, and emotional development. Addressing these deficits is essential for improving long-term developmental outcomes.

Objectives:

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of play-mediated video modeling on enhancing play behavior in children with ASD.

Study Design:

A quantitative, quasi-experimental design was used.

Methods:

Thirty children aged 3–6 years diagnosed with ASD were recruited and assigned to either an experimental group (n = 15) or a control group (n = 15) using convenience sampling. The experimental group received play-mediated video modeling combined with conventional occupational therapy (OT), while the control group received only conventional OT. The Indian Scale for Assessment of Autism (ISSA) and the Revised Knox Preschool Play Scale (RKPPS) were used to assess the severity of autism symptoms and play behavior, respectively. Interventions were conducted three times a week for 10 weeks. Data were analyzed using the SPSS software version 29.0, with paired and independent t-tests applied to assess within-group and between-group differences.

Results:

Significant improvements were observed in the experimental group across all dimensions of play behavior: space management (SM) (SM, P = 0.008, 95% confidence interval [CI] = −9.245, −1.755), material management (MM) (MM, P = 0.001, 95% CI = −8.243, −3.337), pretense/symbolic play (PS) (P = 0.017, 95% CI = −14.095, −1.505), participation (P) (P = 0.000, 95% CI = −8.743, −4.257), and overall age score (OA) (P = 0.000, 95% CI = −8.963, −4962). The control group also improved, but these changes were smaller and significant in only a few dimensions: SM (P = 0.028), MM (P = 0.002), participation (P) (P = 0.028), and overall age score (OA) (P = 0.001). Comparisons between the groups postintervention revealed that the experimental group had significantly higher scores in all play dimensions compared to the control group.

Conclusion:

The findings suggest that play-mediated video modeling is a highly effective intervention for improving play behavior in children with ASD. Incorporating this approach into conventional OT practices may provide substantial benefits, enhancing the various aspects of play behavior and supporting overall development in children with ASD. Future research should explore the long-term impacts and broader applicability of this intervention.

Published: September 2024

Introduction:

Psychological distress among older adults in India is a concerning issue due to the aging population, the unique challenges they face, and limited access to mental health resources. Understanding and addressing this concern are crucial for promoting better mental health and overall quality of life. This study aims to estimate the prevalence of psychological distress among older adults in selected subcenters of Budge Budge II block, West Bengal; and to find out the factors associated with psychological distress among the study participants.

Methods:

A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 180 persons aged ≥60 years from different subcenters of the Budge Budge II block selected by multistage random sampling from May 2023 to July 2023 by face-to-face interview using a predesigned, pretested, structured schedule comprising the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale. Multivariable binary logistic regression was done to identify the sociodemographic factors associated with psychological distress.

Results:

In this study among 180 elderly individuals, the mean age was 67 (±6.34) years, with 65.5% in the 60–69 age group. Nearly two-thirds (70.5%) had no psychological distress, while 18.9%, 5%, and 5.6% had mild, moderate, and severe distress, respectively. Participants who were belonging to the age group 70–79 years [aOR (95% confidence interval [CI]) = 3.31 (1.27–8.63)], widowed or separated (aOR [95% CI] = 3.53 [1.33–9.31]), functionally dependent (aOR [95% CI]) = (8.89 [1.49–53.23]), and economically dependent (aOR [95% CI] = 7.81 [3.21–19.03]) were statistically significant covariates of psychological distress.

Conclusion:

Nearly one-third of the elderly were suffering from psychological distress. Preventive measures for psychological disorders should be integrated into public health at the local level by providing specialist outpatient services to diagnose and treat common psychological disorders at the primary health center level.

Authors: Kaur Navjyot , Chauhan Rajeev , Swamy Ajay J.
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT

A young man was diagnosed to have pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (PAVM) when he was admitted with COVID infection. He had no respiratory distress but his saturation at room air was 90%. Chest X-ray revealed non-homogenous opacity in left lower lobe (LLL). The heart was structurally normal on 2D echocardiography; the saline bubble study was however positive for extra-cardiac shunt. Computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) revealed PAVM with well-defined lobulated sac measuring 2.9 × 1.9 × 2.5 cm in lateral basal segment of LLL with segmental branch of left pulmonary artery as feeder vessel and it drained into left pulmonary vein. The patient was managed with percutaneous intervention using Amplatzer Vascular Plug II to occlude the feeder vessel. Post-intervention, patient’s saturation improved to 98% at room air and saline bubble study was negative for extra-cardiac shunt. CTPA at 06 weeks revealed complete thrombosis of the sac.

Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT

Most common neuromuscular junction disorder is Myasthenia gravis (MG) which has variable clinical presentations. Diplopia and drooping of eyelids are the peculiarity of myasthenia gravis. Commonly disease manifests as a fluctuating weakness of skeletal muscles. Although respiratory symptoms may be the initial presenting complaint in a few patients, usually it develops during the later part of the disease course. The initial presentation of isolated prominent respiratory distress is a relatively rare presentation of myasthenia gravis unless accompanied by other clinical features. We report a 40-year-old female patient, who visited our hospital with presenting complaints of breathlessness and generalized myalgia and subsequently developed fatigable weakness during hospitalization.
Cinemeducation: Using Movie Clips to Enhance Empathy among Medical Interns
Authors: Tekulapally Kranti
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:

Empathy plays a pivotal role in the doctor–patient relationship. Some studies show that empathy dwindles over the years in undergraduate education. The present study was therefore planned to measure and promote empathy among the interns by using Cinemeducation as an interventional tool.

Materials and Methods:

An educational interventional study was carried out among 60 interns belonging to the 2016 batch of a tertiary care teaching hospital in Telangana. The intervention consisted of two online sessions explaining the importance of empathy and best practices of empathy and a facilitated discussion on alternate days for a week in between on WhatsApp using movie clips. Jefferson’s scale of empathy—student version (JSE-S) was used to measure empathy levels. Knowledge and empathetic behavior were measured using a predesigned and pre-validated pre–post-test questionnaire and observer-rated checklist. Feedback on the Cinemeducation technique was taken. All the statistical analyses were performed using Jamovi software version 1.6.23.0. A value of P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant for complete analysis.

Results:

Data from 35 interns who completed all the forms was analyzed. All the interns were in the age group of 22-24 years. There was no statistically significant improvement in the scores of self-reported empathy levels (P = 0.153), but observer-rated empathy levels and the knowledge about empathy improved significantly (p =<0.001 and 0.003), respectively.

Conclusion:

Cinemeducation can be used to improve the empathy levels of interns. Periodic workshops/training are planned to ensure that the behavior becomes a practice and a habit.
Examples and counterexamples in Ehrhart theory
Authors: Ferroni Luis , Higashitani Akihiro
Published: September 2024

This article provides a comprehensive exposition about inequalities that the coefficients of Ehrhart polynomials and

h^{*}

-polynomials satisfy under various assumptions. We pay particular attention to the properties of Ehrhart positivity as well as unimodality, log-concavity, and real-rootedness for

h^{*}

-polynomials.We survey inequalities that arise when the polytope has different normality properties. We include statements previously unknown in the Ehrhart theory setting as well as some original contributions to this topic. We address numerous variations of the conjecture asserting that IDP polytopes have a unimodal

h^{*}

-polynomial and construct concrete examples showing that these variations of the conjecture are false. Emphasis is put on polytopes arising within algebraic combinatorics.Furthermore, we describe and construct polytopes having pathological properties on their Ehrhart coefficients and roots, and we indicate for the first time a connection between the notions of Ehrhart positivity and

h^{*}

-real-rootedness. We investigate the log-concavity of the sequence of evaluations of an Ehrhart polynomial at the non-negative integers. We conjecture that IDP polytopes have a log-concave Ehrhart series. Many additional problems and challenges are proposed.
Coarse nodal count and topological persistence
Authors: Buhovsky Lev , Payette Jordan , Polterovich Iosif , Polterovich Leonid , Shelukhin Egor , Stojisavljević Vukašin
Published: September 2024

Courant’s theorem implies that the number of nodal domains of a Laplace eigenfunction is controlled by the corresponding eigenvalue. Over the years, there have been various attempts to find an appropriate generalization of this statement in different directions. We propose a new take on this problem using ideas from topological data analysis. We show that if one counts the nodal domains in a coarse way, basically ignoring small oscillations, Courant’s theorem extends to linear combinations of eigenfunctions, to their products, to other operators, and to higher topological invariants of nodal sets. We also obtain a coarse version of the Bézout estimate for common zeros of linear combinations of eigenfunctions. We show that our results are essentially sharp and that the coarse count is necessary, since these extensions fail in general for the standard count. Our approach combines multiscale polynomial approximation in Sobolev spaces with new results in the theory of persistence modules and barcodes.
Deformation and $K$-theoretic index formulae on boundary groupoids
Authors: Qiao Yu , So Bing Kwan
Published: September 2024

Motivated by investigating

K

-theoretic index formulae for boundary groupoids of the form

{\mathcal{H}}= M_{0} \times M_{0} \sqcup G \times M_{1} \times M_{1} \rightrightarrows M = M_{0} \sqcup M_{1},

where

G

is an exponential Lie group, we introduce the notion of a
deformation from the pair groupoid
, which makes sense for general Lie groupoids. Once there exists a deformation from the pair groupoid for a (general) Lie groupoid

{\mathcal{G}}\rightrightarrows M

, we are able to construct explicitly a deformation index map relating the analytic index on

{\mathcal{G}}

and the index on the pair groupoid

M \times M

, which in turn enables us to establish index formulae for (fully) elliptic (pseudo)differential operators on

{\mathcal{H}}

by applying the numerical index formula of M. J. Pflaum, H. Posthuma, and X. Tang. In particular, we find that the index is given by the Atiyah–Singer integral but does not involve any

\eta

-term in the higher codimensional cases. These results recover and generalize our previous results for renormalizable boundary groupoids via renormalized traces.

Published: September 2024

Hospital-acquired infections, including surgical site infections (SSIs), pose a concerning challenge because of the growing resistance to multiple drugs, largely influenced by extensive prophylactic antimicrobial therapy. Although SSIs are well documented in advanced hospitals in developed nations, their prevalence and bacterial profiles are inadequately reported in low- and middle-income nations such as Nepal. This retrospective cohort study explored the prevalence of orthopaedic SSIs in relation to bacterial etiology and antimicrobial resistance. We examined the surgical and bacteriological records of patients suffering SSIs (clean or clean-contaminated wounds) within a month of their surgical procedures between January 2020 and June 2022 at the National Trauma Center, Kathmandu, Nepal. The prevalence of orthopaedic SSIs among hospital-visiting patients was 31.2% (448/1,438; 95% CI: 28.8–33.5). There were 341 (76.1%) males and 361 (80.6%) adults with SSIs. Knee/joint infections (n = 141, 31.5%) were predominant. An SSI typically occurs 7 days after surgery. Enterobacterales were dominated by Escherichia coli (n = 54, 40.9%), whereas nonfermenters gram-positive cocci (GPC) were dominated by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n = 69, 81.2%) and Staphylococcus aureus (n = 216, 93.5%), respectively. Enterobacterales, nonfermenters, and GPC exhibited penicillin resistance at 74.5%, 29.8%, and 65.1%, respectively, whereas cephalosporin resistance was exhibited at 48.3%, 57.1%, and 49.6%; fluoroquinolone resistance at 25.9%, 40.5%, and 25.7%; and aminoglycoside resistance at 21.5%, 43.2%, and 17.3%. One-third of orthopaedic surgeries resulted in SSIs, mainly caused by S. aureus. Fluoroquinolones and aminoglycosides were moderately effective in treating bacterial SSIs, whereas penicillins and cephalosporins were the least effective. Nonfermenters exhibited higher antimicrobial resistance compared with Enterobacterales and GPC.

Published: September 2024

Tuberculosis treatment is sometimes associated with clinical deterioration, referred to as paradoxical reaction (PR), especially in those with HIV coinfection. However, the burden and characteristics of PR in children without HIV coinfection are unclear. We undertook a systematic review to estimate the burden and clinical characteristics of PR in HIV-negative children. We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CINAHL, Scopus, Cochrane Library, ProQuest, and OpenGrey for studies reporting PR in HIV-negative children (<18 years old). We included observational studies including case series with at least five cases. Data on incidence/prevalence, clinical features, risk factors, management strategies, and outcome of PR were extracted. Risk of bias in the included studies was assessed using the NIH’s quality assessment and Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal tools. We pooled the prevalence data using random effects meta-analysis. We identified 1,673 studies, of which 10 were eligible for inclusion. They described PR in 133 HIV-negative children. The pooled prevalence was 8.8% (95% CI: 2.9%, 14.6%). Owing to heterogeneity among studies, risk factors for the development of PR could not be identified. Limited data suggested that children developing PR were younger and had neurological or lymph node tuberculosis more often. Most children were treated with corticosteroids, but data were insufficient to identify the optimal management strategy. The review showed that PR affects nearly 1 in 12 HIV-negative children receiving tuberculosis treatment. The paucity of studies emphasizes the need for surveillance/studies to better characterize clinical features, risk factors, appropriate management strategies, and outcome.

Scabies is endemic in many resource-poor tropical areas, causing significant morbidity. However, our understanding of the true burden of scabies in Africa is limited, partly owing to limited capacity and challenges accessing the currently recommended diagnostic tools. The primary objective of this study was to assess the diagnostic accuracy of scabies assessments made by minimally trained field-workers. We trained field-workers with a minimum of secondary school education in the diagnosis of scabies. After the training, we assessed the diagnostic accuracy of assessments made by nine field-workers compared with the reference standard. In all, 193 individuals were assessed for scabies. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were calculated, as well as agreement (κ coefficients) between medical doctors and between field-workers. Of the 193 participants, 26% had scabies according to the reference standard. The sensitivity of field-worker diagnosis compared with the reference standard was 94% (95% CI: 90–99%), and the specificity was 96% (95% CI: 90–97%). The determination of severity by field-workers was less accurate; the sensitivity for severe scabies was 61% (95% CI: 48–74%), and the mean specificity was 97% (95% CI: 93–100%). This study demonstrated that field-workers without medical qualifications were capable of diagnosing scabies to a similar level of accuracy as experienced medical doctors after a short period of focal training. This may facilitate rapid assessments of scabies prevalence for public health purposes and decisions about mass drug administration implementation in similar settings.
Improved Monitoring and Classification of Engine Oil Condition
through Two Machine Learning Techniques
Authors: Pourramezan Mohammad-Reza , Rohani Abbas
Published: September 2024

This study explores the effectiveness of two machine learning models, namely
multilayer perceptron neural networks (MLP-NN) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy
inference systems (ANFIS), in advancing maintenance management based on engine
oil analysis. Data obtained from a Mercedes Benz 2628 diesel engine were
utilized to both train and assess the MLP-NN and ANFIS models. Six indices—Fe,
Pb, Al, Cr, Si, and PQ—were employed as inputs to predict and classify engine
conditions. Remarkably, both models exhibited high accuracy, achieving an
average precision of 94%. While the radial basis function (RBF) model, as
presented in a referenced article, surpassed ANFIS, this comparison underscored
the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in the realm
of maintenance management. Serving as a proof-of-concept for AI applications in
maintenance management, this study encourages industry stakeholders to explore
analogous methodologies.

Highlights

Two machine learning models, multilayer perceptron neural
networks (MLP-NN) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems
(ANFIS), were employed to predict and classify the performance
condition of diesel engines.

Among various training algorithms, Levenberg–Marquardt and the
Bayesian regularization demonstrated superior classification
accuracy, achieving a 95%–96% range.

To assess the generalizability of MLP-NN and ANFIS, the training
set size was varied from 90% to 10%.

The ANFIS model exhibited greater stability than MLP-NN, with a
50% higher performance.

Women publishers and editors-in-chief of Russian-speaking periodicals in Russia of the 19th century: preliminary study
Authors: Blinova Olga
Published: September 2024

The participation of women in the development of periodicals in 19th-century Russia has not been ignored by researchers. Many works were devoted to this subject at the turn of the 21st century. However, only a tiny minority were specifically dedicated to female publishers and editors-in-chief. The purpose of our research is to give an overview of the matter, presenting the most complete list possible of pre-1890 women editors and publishers of periodicals in Russia, to examine the dynamics of the evolution of the number of publisher and editor-in-chief positions that they occupied, and to analyse the diachronic aspect of the periodicals’ geographical distribution. In addition, the question of the typology of periodicals is raised and a first attempt is made to assess the impact of women publishers and editors-in-chief of periodicals on the literary process in 19th-century Russia.

La participation des femmes au développement de la presse périodique écrite dans la Russie du XIX﻿e siècle n’est pas ignorée des chercheurs. Au tournant du ﻿XXIe siècle, de nombreux travaux consacrés à ce sujet ont vu le jour. Cependant, seule une infime minorité d’entre eux est spécifiquement dédiée aux éditrices et rédactrices en chef. La visée de mon étude est de constituer une liste, lа plus exhaustive possible à ce jour, des noms des éditrices et rédactrices en chef, d’examiner la dynamique de l’évolution du nombre de postes qu’elles occupèrent, et d’analyser l’aspect diachronique de la répartition géographique de ces périodiques. La question de la typologie des périodiques est soulevée, et une première estimation chiffrée de l’influence des éditrices et rédactrices en chef de la presse périodique sur le processus littéraire dans la Russie du XIX﻿e siècle est entreprise.

Участие женщин в развитии периодической печати перестало быть белым пятном на карте российской журналистики XIX века. На пороге XXI века появилось немало работ, посвященных этому вопросу. Тем не менее, деятельность женщин редакторов и издателей стала предметом специфического анализа лишь в очень малой их части. Задача нашего исследования – дать общее состояние дела, представив, по возможности, наиболее полный список женщин редакторов и издателей периодики в России до 1890 г. К обсуждению представлена динамика эволюции количества мест, занятых женщинами в этой области, и диахроника географического распределения периодических издательств, в которых они работали. Помимо этого, затронут вопрос типологии печатных органов и предпринята первая попытка оценить воздействие женщин-руководителей периодики на литературный процесс в России XIX века.
The Burnashev cousins and Elizaveta Kulmann
Authors: Kostioukhina Marina
Published: September 2024

The Burnashev cousins distinguished themselves in several types of activities accessible to female members of the educated social classes of the mid-19th century. Sofia (1820-1883) published the journal The Leisure Hour and children’s books, while Ekaterina (1819-1875) and Maria (1817-1861) worked as teachers and translators. For them, the ideal female figure was Elizaveta Kulmann (1808-1825), a talented translator and poet who died prematurely. The cult of this young genius was supported by her teacher, Karl Friedrich von Großheinrich, who wrote a biography of Kulmann, translated by the Burnashevs from german to russian. The image of the young poetessbelongs to the culture of Romanticism, while the cousins were active in the era of the great reforms in women’s education. Kulmann’s biography as a creative personality who did not challenge the foundations of patriarchy and the gender canon was used by the Burnashev cousins to defend their conservative position on women’s issues.

Les cousines Bournachev se sont illustrées dans plusieurs types d’activités accessibles aux représentantes féminines des classes sociales éduquées du milieu du XIXe siècle. Sofia (1820-1883) a publié la revue L’Heure du loisir et des livres pour enfants, Ékatérina (1819-1875) était éducatrice et traductrice, Maria (1817-1861) a enseigné et traduit. Pour elles, la personnalité féminine idéale était Élisavéta Kulmann (1808-1825), traductrice et poétesse de talent morte prématurément. Le culte de cette jeune fille de génie a été soutenu par son professeur, Karl Grossheinrich, auteur d’une biographie de Kulmann, traduite par les Bournachev de l’allemand en russe. L’image de la jeune poétesse appartient à la culture du romantisme, tandis que les cousines menaient leurs activités à l’époque des grandes réformes dans le domaine de l’éducation des femmes. La biographie de Kulmann en tant que personnalité créatrice n’empiétant pas sur les fondements du patriarcat et du canon de genre a été utilisée par les cousines Bournachev pour défendre leur position conservatrice sur la question des femmes.

Сестры Бурнашевы проявили себя в нескольких видах женской деятельности, доступной для представительниц образованных сословий середины ﻿XIX века. Софья (1820-1883) выпускала журнал «Час досуга» и детские книги, Екатерина (1819-1875) была классной дамой и переводчицей, Мария (1817-1861) преподавала и переводила. Идеалом женской личности для сестер была Елизавета Кульман (1808-1825), рано ушедшая из жизни талантливая переводчица и поэтесса. Культ юной гениальности поддерживался ее учителем Карлом Гроссгейнрихом, автором биографии Кульман, переведенной Бурнашевыми с немецкого языка на русский. Образ юной поэтессы принадлежал к культуре романтизма, сестры же осуществляли свою деятельность в эпоху буржуазных реформ в области женского образования.
