Neural Correlates of Encoding in Novel Word Learning
Authors: Korochkina Maria , Sowman Paul F. , Nickels Lyndsey , Bürki Audrey
Published: January 2023

A central observation in the recognition memory literature is that neural processes occurring during encoding of stimuli are predictive of their later recognition and recall. Compared to items that are later forgotten, encoding of correctly recognised items has been associated with greater amplitude between 400 ms and 800 ms post stimulus onset across centro-parietal sites (the difference-due-to-memory ERP effect), increased EEG power in the theta and gamma frequency bands and decreased EEG power in the alpha and beta bands, and increased theta-gamma phase-amplitude coupling. Importantly, theories of encoding based on these findings imply that these effects should be domain-general. In this pre-registered study, we tested this assumption by exploring neural correlates of successful encoding in learning of novel names for novel concepts. Following the previous studies, we used three different measures of neural activity, ERPs, time-frequency representations of power, and phase-amplitude coupling; however, for either of these measures, we could not reject the null hypothesis of no difference between the novel names that were later recalled and those that were not. We provide three possible interpretations of our findings, and our main conclusion is that the existing theories of encoding may be underspecified and that properly-powered pre-registered studies are needed to further constrain these theories.
The Cultural Dialogue of Fidelity and Rendering in the Music of Googoosh in Hamsafar (1975)
Authors: Malekpour Miniature
Published: January 2023

This study examines the role of sound and the cultural dialogue of “transnational status” in pre-revolutionary Iranian cinema, and more specifically, in the film-Farsi period. This study contributes to the literature because it mainly investigates how gender consciousness was promoted through the music soundscape in film-Farsi. The case study used to analyze and dissect the relationship—or rather, the borders and boundaries between the cultural dialogue of sound and music in film-Farsi—is the 1975 film Hamsafar (Fellow Traveler), directed by Masoud Asadollah. This paper will be of interest to film scholars and enthusiasts because Islamic feminism was infused in the “westoxification” and modernity of the powerful technique shaped by the soundtracks of films made before the Islamic revolution in 1979, especially by the voice and sound of Googoosh in the film Hamsafar.
Getting Back
Authors: Ashton Hilarie
Published: January 2023

Sixties girl group the Chiffons are famous for their soaring 1964 hit “He’s So Fine,” a song in turn remembered almost as often for its plagiarism by George Harrison than in its own right. Much of the rest of their catalogue, including the tremendous “I Have a Boyfriend,” gets shunted into historical and critical gaps that paint rock music history as controlled by men. In this article, I examine the Chiffons in their own right, reframing a story of well-worn sonic theft to center on the group it obscured, through and alongside interpretative contradictions, assumptions, and historical lacunae. I show that through their voicing of teenage girls’ desire, their place in an economy of cover songs, and, most notably, their own cover of Harrison’s “My Sweet Lord,” they shift the sonic effect away from the masculinized realm of production and push it back toward the singer. They also evoke considerations of cultural memory and legacy, particularly in their longest-tenured lead singer Judy Craig Mann’s curation of her own creative legacy. Examined against the historical grain, the Chiffons mark different kinds of powerfully transgressive, voiced spaces that work toward different forms of creative liberation.
METTL3 protects METTL14 from STUB1‐mediated degradation to maintain m6A homeostasis

N6‐Methyladenosine (m6A) is an important RNA modification catalyzed by methyltransferase‐like 3 (METTL3) and METTL14. m6A homeostasis mediated by the methyltransferase (MTase) complex plays key roles in various biological processes. However, the mechanism underlying METTL14 protein stability and its role in m6A homeostasis remain elusive. Here, we show that METTL14 stability is regulated by the competitive interaction of METTL3 with the E3 ligase STUB1. STUB1 directly interacts with METTL14 to mediate its ubiquitination at lysine residues K148, K156, and K162 for subsequent degradation, resulting in a significant decrease in total m6A levels. The amino acid regions 450–454 and 464–480 of METTL3 are essential to promote METTL14 stabilization. Changes in STUB1 expression affect METTL14 protein levels, m6A modification and tumorigenesis. Collectively, our findings uncover an ubiquitination mechanism controlling METTL14 protein levels to fine‐tune m6A homeostasis. Finally, we present evidence that modulating STUB1 expression to degrade METTL14 could represent a promising therapeutic strategy against cancer.

Authors: Wang Wei , Li Lina , Gu Hongjun , Chen Yanqing , Zhen Yumei , Dong Zhaorui
Published: January 2023

Background: To develop a machine learning-based model for predicting the risk of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) after cardiac surgery.
Methods: Data were collected from 1011 patients, who underwent cardiac surgery between February 2018 and September 2019. We developed a predictive model on ARDS by using the random forest algorithm of machine learning. The discrimination of the model was then shown by the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic curve. Internal validation was performed by using a 5-fold cross-validation technique, so as to evaluate and optimize the predictive model. Model visualization was performed to reveal the most influential features during the model output.
Results: Of the 1011 patients included in the study, 53 (5.24%) suffered ARDS episodes during the first postoperative week. This random forest distinguished ARDS patients from non-ARDS patients with an AUC of 0.932 (95% CI=0.896-0.968) in the training set and 0.864 (95% CI=0.718-0.997) in the final test set. The top 10 variables in the random forest were cardiopulmonary bypass time, transfusion red blood cell, age, EuroSCORE II score, albumin, hemoglobin, operation time, serum creatinine, diabetes, and type of surgery.
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that machine learning algorithm is highly effective in predicting ARDS in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The successful application of the generated random forest may guide clinical decision-making and aid in improving the long-term prognosis of patients.
The Antinomy of Philology (an Approach by Jules David)
Authors: Eloeva Fatima
Published: January 2023

The paper presents an attempt to reconstruct the original method of mastering the Modern Greek, created for classical philologists by a talented researcher and classical philologist Jules David. Jules David (Charles-Louis-Jules David, 1783–1854) was the son of Jacques-Louis David (1748–1825), apparently the most successful and well paid artist in the entire history of France, the creator of neoclassicism. We will try to show that his scientific conception presents an interesting attempt to establish a connection between the ancient and modern state of the Greek continuum. Jules David’s linguo-didactic approach is innovative and unexpected – while discussing the standard of the Greek language, he managed to combine elegantly the descriptive and prescriptive aspects of the language analysis. His main work, the Comparative description of the Ancient Greek and Demotic Languages (Συνοπτικός παραλληλισμός της ελληνικής και γραικικής απλοελληνικής γλώσσης) is a fascinating attempt to establish the parallels of the Ancient Greek and Modern Greek languages. In addition Jules David set himself another and not trivial task indeed – to make classical philologists, dealing with the Ancient Greek, feel that they are dealing with a living language, and not with a dead scheme. We believe that this strategy of David, due to its originality, has not been fully understood by researchers and can be compared with the views of another outstanding neo-Hellenist and philosopher Nikolaj Bakhtin, the brother of philosopher Mikhail Bakhtin (1884–1950).
Escape of poetry from the village to the city in interwar Lithuania
Authors: Kilinskaitė Emilija
Published: January 2023

The article examines the thematic transformation of interwar Lithuanian poetry from the countryside to the city in 1918-1940. Based on images and lyrical experiences in interwar Lithuanian poetry, it reviews the changing features of the urban poetry of the time, discusses the city as it is revealed in it; the changing perception of oneself as an individual in the society of the time, the changes in one's environment and community in the face of urbanisation. During the two decades of independent Lithuania, the tension between countryside and urban poetry has come almost full circle: at the beginning of the period, we experience the natural "invasion" of the city into poetry; at the end of the period, the city becomes a commonplace, and the reminiscences of countryside adopt nostalgic feeling.
First-Principles Investigation of Concentration Effects on the Electronic and Vibrational Properties of a Boron Aluminum Phosphide Alloy with Wurtzoid Nanostructure
Authors: Fayyadh H.A.
Published: January 2023

The vibrational and electronic properties of the binary wurtzoids Al7P7 and B7P7 and the ternary one BxAl7-xP7 have been investigated by the use of the approximation of the Density Functional Theory (DFT). By varying the concentration x, we carried out the calculations and various simulations of the bond lengths, energy gap, density of states, force constants, reduced masses, and infrared and Raman spectra. The geometric nanostructure of BxAl7-xP7 wurtzoid has been analyzed using the Gauss view 05 program. As the concentration of B increases, the energy gap widens, indicating that the estimations are consistent with the experimental longitudinal optical measurements. We utilize the theoretical ab initio technique to mimic the properties and nanostructures of BxAl7-xP7 wurtzoid using DFT B3LYP with the 6-311-G** basis sets and the GGA calculations with all electrons.

Authors: Aquino Alessandra Guimarães , Montenegro Lima Juliana de Souza , Vasconcelos de Lima Luiziane Souza , Alves Lima Luis Davi , Modesto Hérika Dantas
Published: January 2023

Introdução: O nascimento tem experimentado mudanças na compreensão do parto como processo natural, tornando-o passível de intervenções, como as relacionadas a abreviação do parto através do uso de medicamentos.
Objetivo: descrever o perfil da assistência às gestantes, verificando a prevalência do uso de medicamentos, instrumentos e protocolos, durante o trabalho de parto e parto, em maternidade pública de saúde, destinada à assistência a gestantes de risco habitual.
Método: estudo transversal, descritivo, exploratório e quantitativo, com população por conveniência (n=26 profissionais de saúde). Foram investigadas as características sociodemográficas dos enfermeiros e médicos que prestavam assistência direta ao parto, além daquelas relativas ao uso de medicamentos, instrumentos e protocolos. Os dados foram tabulados no Epiinfo 7.2.2.2, sendo realizada análise estatística descritiva.
Resultados: observou-se que 53,8% são enfermeiros obstetras e 46,2% médicos obstetras. Dentre os entrevistados: 65,4% asseguraram preencher sempre ou quase sempre o partograma, 61,6% aplicam sempre ou quase sempre o índice de Bishop, 57,7% fazem uso de medicamentos para induzir o parto. A prevalência de profissionais que afirmaram não existir protocolos assistenciais ao parto na instituição somou 80,8%.
Conclusão: o presente estudo foi relevante para demonstrar que a maioria dos profissionais não usavam medicamentos aceleradores do trabalho de parto; consideravam a integridade das membranas antes da indução medicamentosa, com maior prevalência de uso da ocitocina em relação ao misoprostol nos casos de necessidade de indução com iguais condições do colo uterino. A maior parte dos profissionais afirmou ainda fazer uso de protocolos de assistência ao parto, embora não fossem os institucionais.

Authors: Silva Lívia Silveira , Passos Hozana Reis , Oliveira Jarbas Vieira de , Amaral Gabriela Gonçalves
Published: January 2023

Introdução: Ao desempenhar e promover práticas que visam a melhoria da saúde, a equipe de enfermagem se assumiu como protagonista e linha de frente em tempos de pandemia de COVID-19. Logo, fica evidente a exposição pessoal-profissional-familiar; a carência de pessoal e a insegurança laboral-emocional, além das consequências que vão recair sobre os contextos de saúde e de trabalho destes profissionais.
Objetivo: Analisar os contextos de saúde e trabalho de profissionais de enfermagem durante a pandemia de COVID-19.
Metodologia: Estudo de método misto, combinando as abordagens por meio da estratégia de incorporação concomitante - QUAN(qual), realizado em Minas Gerais, Brasil, entre agosto e dezembro de 2020. Aplicou-se, via ligação telefônica, um roteiro de perguntas a 58 profissionais enfermeiros, técnicos e auxiliares de enfermagem. O roteiro continha perguntas abertas e fechadas ligadas a questões sociodemográficas e aos contextos e condições de saúde, trabalho e COVID-19. Realizou-se análise quantitativa descritiva e Análise de Conteúdo Temática.
Resultados: A maioria mulheres (93,1%) técnicas de enfermagem (69%). 39,7% trabalhavam em plantão noturno; 58,6% relataram terem sofrido violências no trabalho e 48,3% relataram diagnósticos de transtorno mental. Os contextos de trabalho na pandemia evidenciaram necessidade de estímulos e valorização profissional e relações com fatores institucionais, a dinâmica e organização do trabalho, condições adequadas de trabalho e ao favorável relacionamento interpessoal, enquanto que contextos de saúde evidenciaram relação com interesses, oportunidades, rotina, normalidade, esperança e tenacidade que seriam trazidos pelo fim da COVID-19.
Conclusão: A pandemia de COVID-19 fortaleceu um contexto de saúde e de trabalho crítico, amedrontado e inseguro da equipe de Enfermagem brasileira, exacerbando a necessidade de providências, ações e políticas que considerem a Saúde do Trabalhador como estruturantes para a organização dos serviços.
Reconfiguraciones del desierto y la nación Argentina: el caso de Las aventuras de la China Iron, de Gabriela Cabezón Cámara. Un abordaje desde el neobarroco latinoamericano concebido como dispositivo lector
Authors: Cardella Sebastián Nicolás
Published: January 2023

Las aventuras de la China Iron es un texto que, por medio de un profundo diálogo intertextual con el canonizado Martin Fierro de José Hernández, retoma y redefine una de las figuras fundantes de la Argentina moderna: el desierto. Por ello, este artículo procura analizar el modo en que el escrito de Gabriela Cabezón Cámara reescribe esa figura —y con ella, la de la nación—, sirviéndose de los principios y lineamientos que componen al neobarroco latinoamericano no solo como poética sino, principalmente, como dispositivo lector. Así, el trabajo demuestra, por un lado, el potencial epistémico y metodológico que tiene el neobarroco, pasible de devenir modalidad hermenéutica propiamente latinoamericana de artefactos textuales. Por otro, la forma en que Las aventuras puede ser leída desde esa perspectiva, y en consecuencia, cómo desierto y nación son reconfigurados en un sentido neobarroco, neutralizando toda clase de binarismos y esquemas propios de una racionalidad occidental. Lo que revela, a su vez, la enorme potencialidad política que también porta el neobarroco latinoamericano.
Seguridad Marítima como valor; más allá del cumplimiento con la certificación
Authors: López García Miguel , Ramírez Ramírez María Alejandra
Published: January 2023

Este trabajo tuvo como finalidad explorar el sintagma “seguridad marítima como valor”, enfocándose en: a) la construcción teórica de lo que es SM, b) la significación del término seguridad como valor, y c) el binomio valor seguridad vs. certificación de seguridad. El alcance se consideró exploratorio puesto que el tema es novedoso en consecuencia, se desarrolló un análisis propositivo basado en datos y nociones reconocidas por autores sobre el tema. Además, los argumentos que se utilizaron fueron claros, razonables y se llegó a conclusiones que derivaron de los argumentos. Se mostró como resultado de la indagación la ausencia de mecanismos efectivos a bordo y en tierra para llevar la seguridad más allá de las certificaciones de cumplimiento y asumirla como un tema de carácter axiológico; por esta razón, se reconoció la importancia que le debe dar cada compañía naviera para que a través de la autorregulación se reduzcan los accidentes marítimos ocasionados por la acción humana.
Venta de drogas en Rincón Grande de Pavas: aceptación y oposición de la población local
Authors: Saborío Sebastián
Published: January 2023

Con el objetivo de comprender si la autoridad de las bandas que se dedican al narcomenudeo en Rincón Grande de Pavas, conjunto de barrios empobrecidos de la capital costarricense, es considerada como legítima por parte de la población local, el autor llevó a cabo una investigación entre marzo 2019 y marzo 2020. Ésta se realizó a través de 67 entrevistas en profundidad, principalmente a residentes de la zona analizada. Los resultados de la investigación demuestran que los grupos que se dedican a la venta de drogas no son considerados como legítimos por parte de las personas residentes, principalmente porque no les brindan beneficios concretos e imponen reglas de manera autoritaria mediante el uso de la violencia.
Médicos, curanderos y boticarios en el cuadro de costumbres costarricense “Sea Usted Medico” (1854)
Authors: Seljemoen  Kristine
Published: January 2023

“Sea Usted Medico” es una de las obras costumbristas literarias más reconocidas de Costa Rica por haber sido recopilada en El Costumbrismo en Costa Rica (1966) de Margarita Castro Rawson. Aunque este pequeño texto originalmente fue publicado en dos entregas en el periódico costarricense Eco de Irazú en 1854, Castro Rawson solo incluyó la primera parte en su famosa antología. En “Sea Usted Medico” se encuentran representaciones de diferentes tipos de practicantes de la medicina (médicos, curanderos, charlatanes y boticarios), además del uso de remedios en Costa Rica a mitades del siglo XIX. En este trabajo arguyo que si bien en apariencia estas representaciones respaldan las reformas liberales que se creían necesarias para promover el progreso, la modernización y el desarrollo de una nación en formación –esencialmente apoyando la medicina moderna–, la lectura de la segunda parte del cuadro “Sea Usted Medico” complica esta posición y revela una coexistencia entre las prácticas médicas tradicionales y la medicina moderna en Costa Rica. En este contexto, el presente artículo analiza la compleja relación entre los distintos tipos de medicina en esta época en Costa Rica desde un punto de vista literario y cultural.
Ironía y humor: análisis pragmático en la prensa española del siglo XIX
Authors: Sánchez González Jorge Juan
Published: January 2023

Esta investigación tiene como objetivo principal estudiar el humor como fenómeno pragmático y social. Para ello se ha establecido como objeto de análisis el periodismo satírico-humorístico que se desarrolla en el siglo XIX durante el período que se conoce como Sexenio Democrático, desde la Revolución de septiembre de 1868, hasta el inicio de la Restauración borbónica en 1874. Este es un período de relativa libertad de prensa, lo que propicia el empleo de ironía y humor en la configuración del discurso en la prensa escrita. Se parte de un breve planteamiento teórico para afrontar el análisis del discurso humorístico de 16 revistas satírico-humorísticas, para lo cual hemos aplicado la Teoría General del Humor Verbal.
Relação de longo prazo entre o consumo anual residencial de energia elétrica e o Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano no Brasil
Authors: Coelho Amaral Mariane , Garcia Silveira Anderson , Leite Dias de Mattos Viviane , Cristina Konrath Andréa , Ricardo Nakamura Luiz
Published: January 2023

Estudar o consumo e a demanda de energia elétrica é de vital importância para o desenvolvimento econômico de um país. Neste sentido, este trabalho busca analisar as séries temporais do consumo residencial de energia elétrica e o valor do índice de desenvolvimento humano no Brasil considerando valores anuais no período compreendido entre 1990 e 2018, bem como investigar o possível relacionamento de longo prazo entre elas, por meio do conceito de cointegração. Assim, primeiramente, foi constatado que as séries supracitadas eram estacionárias em primeira ordem por meio do teste de Dickey e Fuller aumentado (ADF). O procedimento de cointegração de Johansen confirma que existem evidências de que as séries possuem uma relação de longo prazo, tendo em vista que a hipótese de que existe um vetor de integração não pode ser rejeitada. O procedimento de cointegração de Engle-Granger apresenta um valor-p menor do que o nível de significância considerado (a saber, α = 0,05) nos resíduos do modelo estimado pelo método dos mínimos quadrados ordinários, fornecendo indícios de que as duas séries possuem relação de longo prazo.
Palavras-chave: Séries temporais; consumo de energia elétrica; cointegração; Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano.

Published: January 2023

Coenurus cerebralis is the larval stage of Taenia multiceps which involves particularly the central nervous system of humans and ungulates. A six-month-old Charollais lamb was presented with cortical blindness, dullness, convulsion, head deviation, reluctancy to move, drooling of saliva and ataxia. Haematological findings revealed an inflammatory process. CSF analysis showed leukocytosis associated with increased total protein. By CT imaging, nine cysts were detected in the cerebrum and one in the cerebellum. Hounsfield units were below 10 in all these regions. CT images perfectly revealed multiple Coenurus cysts in various parts of the brain, which was confirmed by necropsy. At necropsy, cysts of variable size were noted at different anatomical sites of the brain. In the cerebrum, atrophy, liquefactive necrosis and mild demyelination were presenty adjacent to the cystic structures. Perivascular and perineuronal oedema, neuronal degeneration, hyperaemia and thrombosis were also seen in the cerebrum. The meninges revealed oedema, thrombosis, and mononuclear meningitis. Based on authors’ knowledge, this is the first study in Iran on Coenurus cysts in a lamb brain utilising CT scan
First report of surra (Trypanosoma evansi infection) in Iranian sheep
Authors: Jalilzadeh-Amin G. , Nozohour Y. , Maham M. , Malekifard F.
Published: January 2023

Clinical trypanosomiasis in sheep is described for the first time in Iran after history taking, complete physical examination and blood samples collected for laboratory investigations. The client emphasised on animal weight loss dating back to one week ago. The clinical examination revealed enlargements of the pre-scapular and pre-femoral lymph nodes and pale mucous membranes. Laboratory investigation showed that the sheep had anaemia with hyperproteinaemia. Thin blood smear examination revealed the presence of Trypanosoma. Treatment included diminazene aceturate (3.5 mg/kg, IM) for three consecutive days, flunixin meglumine (1.1 mg/kg, IM), and oxytetracycline (10 mg/kg, IM). The examination of the blood film after treatment showed no parasite. Trypanosomiasis may occur in our climatic condition in sheep. In two cases studied here, two consecutive doses of diminazene aceturate administration led to clinical cure. The control of trypanosomiasis in farms may be possible through methods for the control of vectors, such as prophylactic treatment and observing of hygiene in husbandry systems for animals at risk
Chrześcijański wymiar czystości przedmałżeńskiej w kontekście daru i zadania
Authors: Kalniuk Jan
Published: January 2023

La castità prematrimoniale oggi tanto negata e coperta di ridicolo come un relitto del passato, porta in se una grande importanza per lo sviluppo personale d’ogni uomo. Lo scopo di presentata ellaborazione intitolata: La dimensione cristiana della castità prematrimoniale nel contesto del dono ed impegno è mostrare che la castità non è un relitto del passato ma un belissimo dono esistente nell’uomo e contemporaneamente un’impegno eccezionale. L’impegno ch’è da realizzare e da compiere „oggi” et „adesso”.Tutto il processo dell’educazione alla castità prematrimoniale è un compito. In prima parte è un compito per l’uomo che era stato arricchito da Dio Creatore con il dono della castità. È proprio lui che deve questo dono salvaguardare e curare per se stesso, come anche per la persona che incontrera nel cammino della propria vita per metterlo nelle sue mani.Anche i genitori obbligati dal impegno dell educazione propri figli devono aiutare i loro figli di comprendere in modo giusto et accettare la castità prematrimoniale. Per genitori quest’educazione crea un compito eccezionalmente responsabile, perchè dai loro comportamenti e testimonianze della vita in una misura notevole dipendera la crescità e maturità dei figli.Anche la Chiesa e la scuola compie nel questo processo dell’educazione alla castità prematrimoniale un ruolo eccezionale. Un giovane uomo che sta cercando una giusta risposta sulle sue travagliate domande, deve trovare in queste istituzioni un forte appoggio.Solo una completa visione dell’educazione alla castità prematrimoniale porta in se una speranza di sucesso e puo diventare reale nella vita d’ogni giovane l’uomo.L’essaminato problema è veramente largo e deve essere continuamente discusso. Il suo contenuto si trova sotto l’incessante influsso dello sviluppo dell’uomo, sotto cambiamenti nella vita delle società e nel cambio della mentalità d’uomo d’oggi. Da qui la necessità della nuova argomentazione che dovrà essere convincente per odierno giovane uomo attacato e circondato delle diverse ideologie e nuove opinioni.
Naturalny język semantyczny jako narzędzie ekskulturacji. Ocena propozycji Anny Wierzbickiej w kontekście postulowanej inkulturacji
Authors: Pindel Roman
Published: January 2023

Der Artikel begründet die Notwendigkeit der Exkulturation bei der Durchführung der Inkulturation. Nachdem die wichtigsten Aussagen der Kirche über die Inkulturation zusammengestellt worden sind, wird der Vorschlag von Anna Wierzbicka geschildert. Nach der Meinung der weltberühmten Sprachwissenschaftlerin soll die Botschaft der Bibel aus ihrer früheren Kultur entwurzelt werden (Exkulturation). Ihren Ausdruck soll sie dann in den einfachen und elementaren Begriffen (semantische Primitiva) finden. Als Instrument der Exkulturation (nicht nur der Botschaft der Bibel) soll die natürlich-semantische Metasprache (Natural Semantic Metalanguage) angewendet werden. Im letzten Teil des Artikels wird als Beispiel solcher Exkulturation die Analyse des Gleichnisses aus dem Lukasevangelium 18, 9–14 vorgestellt. Die zahlreichen Publikationen der Autorin und die beispielhafte Durchführung der Exkulturation führen zum Schluss, dass der Vorschlag einer solchen Analyse den kirchlichen Forderungen hinsichtlich der Inkulturation der biblischen Botschaft entspricht.
Teologia come scienza e il suo significato per la società
Authors: Szczurek Jan Daniel
Published: January 2023

Celem artykułu jest przypomnienie, że teologia jest nauką. Jest nią, ponieważ posiada zasadnicze cechy właściwe każdej nauce, a przede wszystkim: istnienie aksjomatów i zasad, odpowiednią metodę, racjonalność, pewność zdobytej wiedzy, jej użyteczność.Teologia posiada swoje aksjomaty, które lapidarnie sformułował H. U. von Balthasar: Bóg-Absolut istnieje, Bóg objawił się człowiekowi, pełnią objawienia jest Jezus Chrystus. Teologia posiada także swoje zasady, do których można zaliczyć: lex orandi – lex credendi (modlitwa wyraża wiarę, wiara kształtuje modlitwę), Deus semper maior (Bóg [jako misterium] zawsze większy od tego, co człowiek może o Nim powiedzieć), odpowiedzialność (teologia jest odpowiedzialną mową o Bogu [verantwortete Rede von Gott]).Teologia posługuje się ogólną metodologią nauk. Ze względu na swą specyfikę posiada także własną, szczegółową metodę, którą ogólnie nazywamy metodą teologiczną, pozwalającą m.in. odróżnić to, co jest objawione od tego, co takim nie jest. Elementami tej metody są: auditus fidei (odpowiednik doświadczenia w naukach przyrodniczych), intellectus fidei (odpowiednik systematycznej wiedzy o przedmiocie danej dziedziny wiedzy w innych naukach), speculatio (odpowiednik teorii i hipotez w innych naukach).Naukowość teologii wynika z jej racjonalności. Jej najgłębszą podstawą jest wcielenie się Logosu. Jest wewnętrznie niesprzecznym zbiorem twierdzeń, wzajemnie ze sobą powiązanych. Oznacza to, że jej twierdzenia podlegają zasadom logiki formalnej.Teologia daje wiedzę pewną. Źródłem jej pewności jest nieomylność Boga (por. Tt 1, 2; Hbr 6, 18). Najwyższy stopień pewności posiadają dogmaty wiary. W wyniku rozwoju dogma- tu, a także teologii, stopień pewności twierdzeń teologicznych ulega zmianie. Niestety, teologia współczesna unika określania pewności teologicznej swych twierdzeń, co osłabia jej naukowy charakter. Teologia jest użyteczna, analogicznie do użyteczności innych nauk. Teologia jako nauka służy prawdzie (także w sensie Arystotelesowskiej theoria), poznając ją u samego źródła (objawiającego Boga), a dzięki temu pozwala także przekształcać rzeczywistość (w sensie techne), przede wszystkim samego człowieka. Poszczególne dyscypliny teologiczne mogą mieć bardziej „teoretyczny” albo „techniczny” (praktyczny) charakter, np. teologia dogmatyczna – bardziej teoretyczny, teologia moralna (z teologią duchowości) – bardziej praktyczny. Najbardziej praktyczne znaczenie ma – jak się wydaje – odpowiedź na pytanie o sens ludzkiego istnienia i o wartość osoby.

Pytania o pedagogikę społeczną w kontekście koncepcji Stanisława Kawuli (1939–2014)
Authors:   Szkoła Wyższa im. Pawła Włodkowica w Płocku, Sroczyński Wojciech
Published: January 2023

In the sketch, the author undertakes a preliminary analysis of the scientific work of professor Stanisław Kawula. The caesura of death, as well as scientific achievements, place the hero of this sketch among the scientists we call classics of social pedagogy. The professor’s scientific achievements are enormous, so it would be difficult to carry out a full analysis of the works left behind by him. As usual, in such a case, I have limited myself to indicating the main, in my opinion, currents of thoughts, guided by an arbitrary choice.
Radzenie sobie z rozwodem rodziców w narracjach młodych dorosłych kobiet i mężczyzn z rodzin rozwiedzionych
Authors:   Uniwersytet Łódzki, Müller-Siekierska Diana
Published: January 2023

Parents’ divorce is an extremely difficult event for a child and how they deal with it depends to a large extent on the behavior of parents in a divorce situation. This event forces children to find themselves in a new reality, which they may not understand and do not accept, and which irreversibly marks their lives. The strategies described in this article were drawn from the biographies of young adults from divorced families. Data analysis was performed using grounded theory procedures. The article attempts to describe some methods / strategies that were undertaken by young people in the event of their parents’ divorce. This situation requires dealing with new emotions, requires adaptation to many different changes in life, and even meeting situations related to conflicts and quarrels between parents. Therefore, appropriate support is very important, not only for divorcing parents, but also for children who may be neglected during this period because of problems that their parents are trying to deal with.

The paper is an attempt to answer the question about relation between education and mobility in condition of changing society. For this purpose was used survey research conducted amid post-accession migrants form Poland actually living in Scotland. The research was conducted in two stages, and participated in this 627 respondents living in varied part of Scotland. The first step was to conduct face-to-face interviews (258 respondents), while in the second stage was used CAWI method (Computer Assisted Web Interviews) (369 respondents). Collected empirical data has permitted to establish relation between degree level of education and migration motive of respondents. We can assume that factor explaining of that relation is cultural capital of man, which is collected during education process, in an institutionalized and embodied form. A ready-to-mobility attitude is a resource transmitted in socialization process. The longer individual attends to institutionalized form of education, the more often they manifested migration motivation focused on post-material values – willingness to meet a new challenge in live or assembling a new live experience connected to personal development.

Published: January 2023

There are approximately 38 million HIV-positive patients in the world. The effectiveness of antiretroviral therapy has significantly increased the life expectancy of infected patients. The objective of this study was to observe the relationship between resilience (assessed using the SPP-25 Scale), coping strategies (Mini-COPE Scale) as well as trauma effects (SF-CiOQ Scale) and quality of life (SWLS Scale) in people living with HIV. The study included 78 individuals (26 women and 52 men) aged 18–65 years. Significant relationships between resilience and coping strategies were demonstrated in people living with HIV. Resilience and active coping were conducive to positive trauma effects and satisfaction with life. Non-adaptive coping strategies favored negative trauma effects. The strategy of positive reframing acted as a mediator in the relationship between resilience vs. positive and negative trauma effects in people living with HIV. The scores indicate the need for practitioners to focus on interventions which elevate resilience and active coping to improve mental health in people living with HIV.
Differences in Self-Regulation of Stress Among Students Starting and Finishing Studies. The Comparison of Students of Polish and Spanish Universities
Authors:   Maria Grzegorzewska University, Molińska Weronika , Katra Grażyna ,   University of Warsaw
Published: January 2023

The research focused on identifying differences in the sense of self-efficacy and self-regulation of stress among 470 students from Polish and Spanish universities and on determining the differences between students starting and finishing their studies. The following tests were used in the study: General Self-Efficacy Scale, COPE Inventory and Self-Regulatory Formative Questionnaire. Statistical analysis confirmed the correctness of the 6 hypotheses. The obtained results showed that the level of self-efficacy and self-regulation and the choice of coping strategies are related to gender, nationality, age, and multiple attitudes to a stressful situation. Moreover, other confirmed hypotheses show the conclusions that self-efficacy is higher in the group of men than in the group of women. On the other hand, women have higher self-regulatory skills and are more likely than men to choose favourable stress regulation methods. In contrast, the hypotheses about cross-cultural differences show that Spanish students have better self-regulatory skills and choose adaptive coping strategies, while Polish students use non-adaptive strategies.

The COVID-19 situation has made higher education institutions face the unprecedented challenge of transition into distance learning. As a result, students had to acquire some skills and knowledge remotely, including the experience of learning social research. The article presents the results of research on students’ attitudes and perceptions regarding online teaching, learning, their digital skills, and the presence of subjects connected with social research in their diverse study programmes. The study was conducted to investigate how social research is taught at the university level. Using an online survey distributed in May and June 2021, data were collected from 103 students enrolled in bachelor (BA) and master (MA) studies at Polish higher education institutions. Findings from the study show a broad spectrum of students’ diverse experiences connected with their participation in online education.
National Identity of Poles in the Context of European Values
Authors:   Social and Medical University in Warsaw, Poland, Mydłowska Beata
Published: January 2023

The article aims to refer to issues related to the understanding of national identity, assuming that the basic reference point for the theoretical analysis is the model of universally recognised European values. Attempting to concretise the concept of national identity and identify determinants affecting its shaping, reference was made to the problem of identifying Poles with European values. Since the problem of national identity was often the object of interest of researchers, especially during the intensification of integration processes in Europe and the impact of such phenomena as globalisation, migration or development of mass culture with a cosmopolitan character, there were observed increased anxieties of various nations encouraging underlining their own “separateness”, and also greater identification with the national community. The author does not treat this phenomenon as disturbing because, according to the latest trends related to the understanding of European identity, it can crystallise as the sum of the identity of European national countries.

Published: January 2023

Runt-related transcription factor 3 (RUNX3) plays a pivotal role in tumor microenvironment and immune infiltration. However, the prognostic and immunological roles of RUNX3 in pancancer remain unclear. In the current study, we explored the expression profiles, prognostic landscape, and immune infiltration of RUNX3 in pancancer through a variety of online platforms, including HPA, ONCOMINE, UALCAN, GEPIA, PrognoScan, TCGA, TIMER, R2, and Reactome databases. In general, RUNX3 was widely expressed in tonsil, gallbladder, skin, spleen, lymph node, and bone marrow, and RUNX3 was frequently higher expression in tumor tissues compared to normal tissues. In prognostic analysis, the RUNX3 expression level was significantly correlated with the clinical outcomes of bladder cancer, blood cancer, brain cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, and ovarian cancer. In mutation analysis, a total 72 mutation sites were located within amino acids 1 to 415 of RUNX3, including 65 missense sites and seven truncating sites, whereas the mutation frequency of skin cutaneous melanoma and uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC) is relatively high (> 3%). In immune infiltration analysis, the RUNX3 expression level was significantly related to recognized markers and the immune infiltration levels of various types of immune cells in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) and brain lower grade glioma (LGG). After that, 453 RUNX3 co-expressed genes were recognized in COAD, lymphoid neoplasm diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, LGG, and ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma (OV). Pathway enrichment analysis revealed that RUNX3 co-expressed genes were remarkably enriched in immune system and tumor progression pathways. RUNX3 expression is associated with clinical prognosis, immune infiltration, and identified RUNX3 related pathways in a variety of tumors, which may serve as targets of promising prognostic markers and novel therapeutic targets for various human cancers.

Published: January 2023

It has been pointed out that cavitation inside a fuel injector plays an important role in the fuel spray characteristics, which affects the thermal efficiency and exhaust gas emissions. Recently, it was pointed out that when needle lift is low, not only orifice wall cavitation but also single string cav-itation may occur in the mini-sac and valve-covered orifice (VCO) nozzles, which increases largely the spray cone angle. However, the mechanism and condition of the appearance of single string cav-itation have not been clarified yet. In this study we carry out high-speed visualization of orifice wall cavitation and single string cavitation in various transparent injectors with a single orifice and a simple rectangular sac, whose gap Z, sac width W, orifice diameter D, liquid kinematic viscosity ν, and mean liquid velocity V in the orifice are varied, to investigate the governing dimensionless parameters and to examine whether we can quantitatively predict the formation criteria of single string cavitation or not. Moreover, particle image velocimetry (PIV) analysis is conducted to measure the velocity distribution, to clarify the flow structure, and to quantify the circulation in the sac. As a result, we conclude that regardless of the shape and size of the fuel injectors, the length of cavitation in an orifice can be predicted by using the modified cavitation number σc. The appearance of single string cavitation and circulation in the sac are possible to be predicted quantitatively by using a dimensionless Re1 proposed in this study, which is the ratio among the inertial and viscous forces.
