Investimento Direto Estrangeiro chinês e participação chinesa em projetos de infraestrutura no estado de São Paulo, Brasil: uma análise baseada na urbanização planetária e nos circuitos do capital
Authors: Pinto Rubens Marcelo de Campos
Published: March 2023

A proposta deste texto é investigar a relação entre Brasil e China de uma perspectiva da produção do espaço urbano. Para isso, foram analisados os Investimentos Diretos Estrangeiros (IDE) chineses e a participação desse país em projetos de infraestrutura no estado de São Paulo entre 2000 e 2020, contextualizados nas realidades brasileira e latino-americana. O estudo utilizou a “comparação incorporada” desenvolvida por Philip McMichael e conceitos como os de urbanização planetária e circuitos do capital. A hipótese de que o Estado chinês passa a se conformar como um agente da urbanização brasileira foi avaliada de modo a contribuir com o debate em torno da dinâmica da urbanização brasileira contemporânea. Os dados coletados apontam para um papel importante da urbanização no processo de expansão chinês. As infraestruturas ganharam importância ao longo da última década, em consonância com as transformações pelas quais o país passou após a virada do século e a crise de 2008, o que sinaliza um giro em direção ao circuito secundário do capital em tempos de crise de sobreacumulação. Por fim, algumas questões são apresentadas acerca da dinâmica urbana no Sul Global, na América Latina e Caribe e no Brasil.

Authors:   Université Paris–Sorbonne, Godon Jean-Baptiste
Published: March 2023

Zinovy Alekseyevich Peshkov (Zinovy Mikhailovich Sverdlov) was born in 1884 to the family of a modest Jewish engraver in Nizhny Novgorod. The elder brother of Yakov Mikhailovich Sverdlov met Gorky, became his secretary and protégé, and followed him into exile to Arzamas, where he was baptised, with Gorky as his godfather, and took the name of the writer in 1902. In 1904, Zinovy Peshkov began to travel the world: America, New Zealand, Italy, where he lived for several years with Gorky in Capri. In 1914, he joined the French Foreign Legion and lost his right hand in battle on the Western Front. He then participated in various missions for France, including during the Russian Civil War and in colonial wars in Africa and the Middle East. Following his retirement, he became a close associate of General de Gaulle and a French ambassador to the Far East. Zinovy Peshkov died in Neuilly in 1966 with the rank of general. Despite their opposing fates and opinions, Zinovy Peshkov had been one of Gorky’s closest interlocutors and friends for over thirty years. Their correspondence contains valuable information on the life of the writer, and on his views on family and friendship. It also sheds light on Gorky’s thoughts about war, revolution, religion and culture.
Maxim Gorky’s Irony and Silence: A Drama of Overloaded Memory
Authors:   Palacký University Olomouc, Pechal Zdeněk
Published: March 2023

The article mentions the main facts about M. Gorky’s translations in the Czech Republic. Gorky’s story belongs to narrative genres that have their roots in the oral tradition. Gorky’s narrator wants to tell something objectively and how the passing narrator observes what is happening, but, basically, does not comment on the observed reality. Thus, the artistic meaning is not given on the basis of author-narrative statements, plot movement, or causal relationships and consequences, but follows independently through the variety of chaotic reality unfolding before the narrator. The narrator’s consciousness continuously and spontaneously absorbs the impulses of the current reality. Since the passing observer is not able to comprehend and organize the abundance of facts of reality, all these various and uncontrolled impulses overload his consciousness and lead him into a state of chaos. The element of the current variety of overloaded memory contributes to the mortification of not only the consciousness, but also the petrification of the whole personality of the hero and the narrative point of view. Thus, the author’s raw registration of the current variety of reality, petrification of the narrator’s and hero’s consciousness become essential semantic elements of Gorky’s texts. Overloaded memory leads the passing hero-observer to a state of internal mortification, a kind of petrification of the personality, and the registered impulses of chaotic reality give birth to a meaning beyond the author’s control. Therefore, the reality outside the authority of the one who observes and the one who has something to tell us something, creates meaning, which is independent of the authority of the author’s true meaning is born, regardless of the author and is derived independently of natural diversity often antinomic images, the observer and passing the Registrar is not able to give a perceived unifying sense, as he does not understand and can not understand what he saw; in the end, sense is born spontaneously and author of “silent”. This is the irony of Gorky, since he is able to tell something objectively, but is not able to give a unifying meaning to this chain of images. Thus, Gorky’s “silence” can be understood as a drama of overloaded memory and the author’s irony in relation to the desire to give an authoritative meaning to what was said.

Addressee of Gorky vs Heroine of Mayakovsky?
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Terekhina Vera N.
Published: March 2023

Biographical and creative communications between Gorky and Mayakovsky remain among the most important research topics almost hundred years. In the Soviet times, they mostly dealt with in the paradigm of “teacher — student”. Then it has been demanded by scandalous revelations. Objectively-scientific reflection on the theme of “Gorky and Mayakovsky” got in the works of L. Spiridonova [9; 10]. Nevertheless, it is a new storylines. The report puts forward the hypothesis that the prototype of the “suicide girl” from Mayakovsky script “How are you?” and Zoja Berezkina — heroine of “Bedbug” is Maria Ershova. Compares the story of Mayakovsky dating with Maria after her suicide «from love”, but survived in Rostov, and her correspondence with Gorky. To confirm the hypothesis are used A.M. Gorky Archive materials and Documentary Fund of V.V. Mayakovsky State Museum.

From the History of Relations between M. Gorky and A. Platonov: Context and Implications
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Malygina Nina M.
Published: March 2023

The article deals with several episodes, illustrating the history of relations between Gorky and Platonov. It unveils the birth of the Soviet legend that Gorky immediately noticed and highly appreciated Platonov’s talent. New information is presented on the publishing of the first posthumous prose collection by Platonov and the preface to it, written by the critic F.M. Levin. References to Platonov in letters, written by Gorky in 1927–1928, are analyzed in the article. The reasons for Platonov’s failure to meet Gorky at the editors office of “Krasnaya Nov’” magazine on the 9th of June, 1928, are discovered. Responses on Gorky and Platonov, made by participants of the meeting, are identified. The context of “no meeting” between Platonov and Gorky in summer 1928 is clarified. Platonov’s contacts with Gorky in 1929 concerning publication of the novel Chevengur are explored. The article unveils the implication of the phrase made by Gorky about Voronsky in his letter to Platonov, which gives the conclusion about the inability to publish a novel. A document, that was taken from Voronsky file at the Russian state archive of socio-political history and proved contacts between Gorky and Voronsky after his return from exile in Lipetsk, has been published for the first time. It is noted that Platonov used Gorky’s appreciation of his novels as an argument to apply for an apartment in the writers house in the Art theater passage. It is established that it is extremely difficult to clarify the role of Gorky in the overcoming by Platonov of disastrous consequences of the story “Vprok” publication in 1931. It examines the significance of the fact that Stalin resent the letter, addressed to him by Platonov, to Gorky, thus giving him the role of the censor on Platonov’s art creations. It turns out that Platonov understood why his letters to Gorky in 1932 and 1933 remained unanswered. It examines Platonov’s appeal to Gorky concerning staging of the play “High voltage” in the theater as well as his hope for the publication of the play in the Gorky almanac. The fate of the story “Rubbish wind” is clarified. It is discovered that Platonov’s participation in Gorky’s project “Two five-year plans” resulted in the unbanning of Platonov’s publications in 1934. Platonov’s trip with the writers team to Turkmenistan, the creation and success of the story “Takyr” allowed him to join the Union of Soviet writers.
The Concept of a Ridiculous Man — Leader in M. Gorkyʼs Essay “V.I. Lenin”
Authors:   Karelian Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Markova Elena I.
Published: March 2023

The purpose of the article is to show that M. Gorky’s work “V.I. Lenin”, declared as “memories”, is in fact an essay, which was almost initially understood by critics and publishers. Avarice of the material is not misleading: there is an artistic reconstruction of the image of Lenin with a clear trend. Gorky characterizes his hero, the leader of the proletarian revolution, the creator of the world’s first proletarian state, as “a child of the cursed world”. A new world is born in blood and pain, and his demiurge is identical to him: he bears the seal of the former (“damned”) world and at the same time is the forerunner of the new, as the writer believed, full of joy of the world. Therefore, he creates an image of a man representing a unique fusion of hero and victim, judge and lawyer, modern Socrates and comic character, shows the leader in the zone of both official and familiar contact, where he is depicted as a person capable of rejoicing, smiling, joking, laughing. “Laughing” characteristics in the text more than 30. They mean not only the natural reaction of a person to a funny situation or a sharp word, but also serve as a means of self-defense, an instrument of shaming the enemy. The main thing-laughter allows you to highlight the image of the leader in the light of Gorky’s understanding of man as the bearer of the new faith, the creator of the new world, capable of defeating the ideology of suffering characteristic of Russian society by the implementation of the idea of harmonious life-building.

For a part of the Russian emigration, Gorky’s name and authority became a symbol of the new Russia, the embodiment of the hope of a return regardless of political changes. Many years of friendly and creative relations connected Gorky and Vladimir Posner, who did not disconnect from the literary world of Soviet Russia. Gorky supported Vadim Andreev in his desire to return to his homeland. This is evidenced by the letters of Vadim Andreyev, kept in the Gorky Archive.

Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Kudrina Elena V.
Published: March 2023

Modern playwrights often turn to the works of the classics of literature and create remakes. We are interested in two pieces that were written at the turn of 20–21 centuries: farce “At The Bottom” by I. Shprits (1995) and the radio piece S. Shulyak’s “The New song about Falcon” (2000). Both works created on the basis of creativity M. Gorky’s interesting because it organically combines Russian literary tradition and techniques of the “new drama”. Playwright Igor Shprits in his play “At The Bottom” syringe complies with the features of the construction of the Gorky works, plays the situation of “theatre in theatre” and fills the bitter text with new meanings. S. Shulyak wrote a “continuation” of the story of the Snake and the Falcon — radio piece “New song of the Falcon”. The playwright remains largely faithful to the original, complements the characters-antipodes of the new features. Talented works revived interest in the classics, open new current motives and problems.
Psychological Field and Problem of Cognitive Dissonance in M. Gorky’s Novel The Life of Klim Samgin

Published: March 2023

In the article it is proved that the literary and philosophical discoveries contained in the novel The Life of Klim Samgin, by their significance, go beyond the scope of literary criticism, because the writer, like I. Turgenev, L. Tolstoy, F. Dostoyevsky, etc., managed to uncover such new aspects of knowledge and understanding of a person’s psychological nature, manifested in his relations with the real world, which are the subject of research by psychologists in the middle of the 20th century. The main attention is paid to the issues that are acute on the pages of the novel — the psychological field and cognitive dissonance. Only at first glance it may seem that it will be about Gorky’s determinism of types, characters, situations... But this is true only partially. The principal difference is that M. Gorky speaks about relationship to the reality of an already formed man, whose life in the process of self-realization faces with a fateful choice or quasi-choice. This is already a reaction — often forced — to the challenges of reality, before which there is a person who is understood as a complex energy field (Kurt Levin), a personality interacting with the living space (Lebensraum), appearing cognitive dissonance (Leon Festinger), and the need to remove it. Gorky’s methods of motivating the actions of the hero(s) in critical situations are analyzed. The significance given by the writer to the characters’ emotions is determined under the action of which they committed or did not commit those or other acts.

The paper mainly involves materials stored in the Archives of M.N. Elizarova (1908–1994). For many years, being the permanent director of the Kazan Museum of A.M. Gorky, she was on friendly terms with E.P. Peshkova, often met with her, kept up correspondence. The subject matter of several dozen letters is very diverse. Subsequently, Elizarova wrote essays about Peshkova. Her idea of writing a novel appeared during lifetime of Ekaterina Pavlovna, as evidenced by memories of the years lived, recorded by Elizarova at her meetings with Ekaterina Pavlovna, the selection of additional materials. Elizarova has worked on the text of the novel Ekaterina Volzhina in different years. There are some unpublished Kazan speeches by E.P. Peshkova (including those about the last days of the writer) in the Archive of Typewriting, photo documents about her stay in this city. Also of interest is her correspondence with a contemporary of A.M. Gorky, A.S. Derenkov, about the Kazan period of his life, as well as with historian, the first Kazan Gorky scholar N.F. Kalinin. The latter left diary records of their conversation in Moscow in 1941, containing interesting information about Gorky’s friend F.I. Shalyapin, his life in Kazan. The listed documents are important sources in studying the life and work of E.P. Peshkova, the person very close to A.M. Gorky, the person who has done a lot in perpetuating his memory.
A measurement system for photoelectrochemical processes with high quality irradiation, temperature control and automated gas analysis
Authors: Adner David , Pfordte Lorenz , Selle Milan , Pohl Max , Turek Marko , Hagendorf Christian
Published: March 2023

In this Application Note, a versatile and reliable measurement system
for photoelectrochemical investigations is described which aims to
assist scientists in obtaining reproducible photoelectrochemical data of
high quality, including the solar-to-hydrogen (STH) efficiency.
Specifically, it addresses the parameters irradiation quality, reaction
temperature and gas measurement. The setup is designed to exclude stray
light and uses a solar-grade mirror to reflect the light of a vertical
solar simulator on the electrochemical cell. The light quality in the
setup (»AAA«, IEC 60904-9) is close to the classification of the solar
simulator itself. The temperature in the electrochemical cell is
controlled with an external Peltier element and can be kept constant in
the range of 20–45 °C. The influence of reaction temperature on the
photocurrent of a WO photoanode is demonstrated. The
gaseous reaction products are analyzed with a mobile gas chromatograph,
using an automated measurement routine with discontinuous sampling from
the electrochemical cell. The system is applied to determine the Faraday
and STH efficiencies of a copper indium gallium selenide photocathode.

Published: March 2023

Background Tumor deposits (TD) are considered as Extranodal Extension
(ENE) in the AJCC 8th edition of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma
(HNSCC) TNM staging. Methods We analyzed TDs in patients with HNSCC who
underwent surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy ± chemotherapy. Overall
Survival (OS) and progression rate were compared to patients with ENE.
Results ENE was detected in 50 patients, while TDs in 21. Based on the
presence of ENE alone or TDs, the mean time to progression was
significant (p<0.005). OS at three years was 55.7% for the
whole study group, 60.4% in ENE and 38.4% in TDs. OS difference
between the N2a-ENE, N3b-ENE, and the TDs ± ENE group was significant
(p=0.05). The hazard ratio between ECs and TDs was Exp (B) 2.296 (p=
0.027). Conclusions The prognostic implication of TDs represents an
independent risk factor, and a separate classification might be
required.
Realizing N-P transformation and high P-type thermoelectric performance of InSb semiconductor via band regulation derived from the Cd doping

Published: March 2023

InSb-based materials are promising thermoelectric (TE) alternatives at
medium temperature with the high power factor (PF) derived from the
intrinsically ultra-high mobility (104–105 cm2 V−1 s−1). N-type
InSb-based TE materials have been studied extensively due to the
intrinsic Sb vacancies originating from the low formation energy. Based
on that π-type TE devices are in favor of P-, N-legs with similar
thermal expansivity, P-type InSb-based materials are highly desired.
Herein, P-type InSb is synthesized by adjusting the Fermi energy via
performing Cd doping. The PF reaches up to ~1.91 × 10−3
W m−1 K−2 at 723 K due to the increased electrical conductivity and
inhibited bipolar diffusion effect caused by the high carrier
concentration. Furthermore, the lattice thermoelectric conductivity is
reduced to 2.0 W m−1 K−1 at 723 K on account of intensive phonon
scattering and suppressed bipolar diffusion effect. Finally, benefiting
from the simultaneous optimization of the electrical and thermal
properties, the optimized figure of merit (zT) value of 0.40 (increased
by ~7.0 times) at 723 K was achieved in P-type
Cd0.07In0.93Sb, which is comparable with most N-type InSb-based
materials. This study could be significant to develop cognate
thermostable TE devices using the P-type InSb counterparts.

Published: March 2023

Background: Sofosbuvir, a very effective new direct-acting antiviral
agent (DAA), has revolutionized the therapeutic management of people
infected with hepatitis C virus. It has a low reported rate of side
effects. Leukocytoclastic vasculitis can be associated with hepatitis C
but can also be induced by many drugs. We describe a case of
leucocytoclasic vasculitis induced by Sofosbuvir that resolved 3 days
after drug withdrawal. We observed a temporal relationship between the
treatment and the onset of vasculitis. We emphasize the
multidisciplinary approach to patients with hepatitis C to make the
difference between drug-induced skin damage and damage caused by the
virus itself. Case presentation: A 61-year-old woman, with a history of
hepatitis C virus infection started treatment with the combination
ledipasvir sofosbuvir in June 2020, 400 mg per day. Five weeks later,
she developed a slightly itchy erythematous and symmetrical rash on
lower members. The patient initially suspected the treatment and she
stopped it. Histological finding revealed a diffuse neutrophile
infiltration of vessel walls confirming leukocytoclastic vasculitis.
These lesions disappeared completely three days after drug withdrawal
without any symptomatic treatment. Conclusions: Sofosbuvir is one of the
several recent drugs that should be prone to further attention.
Development of conjugated secondary antibodies for wildlife disease surveillance
Authors: Ochai Sunday , Crafford Jan , Kamath Pauline , Turner Wendy , Heerden Henriette
Published: March 2023

Disease monitoring in free-ranging wildlife is a challenge and often
relies on passive surveillance. Alternatively, proactive surveillance
that relies on the detection of specific antibodies could give more
reliable and timely insight into disease presence and prevalence in a
population, especially if it occurs below detection thresholds for
passive surveillance. An example is the Bacillus anthracis protective
antigen (PA)-ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) that was used for
surveillance of anthrax exposure. However, serological biosurveillance
is hampered by a lack of species-specific conjugates that can be used in
assays. In this study, we developed anti-kudu and anti-impala
immunoglobulin specific conjugates in chickens and examined their
binding, compared to the binding of commercially available protein-G and
-AG conjugates, to different herbivore species using an ELISA-based
avidity index. The conjugates were evaluated for cross-reaction with
other wild herbivores to assess future use in diagnostic ELISAs for
other species. The developed conjugates had a high relative avidity of
> 70% against kudu and impala sera. The commercial
conjugates (protein-G and -AG) had significantly low relative avidity
(< 20%) against these species. Eighteen other wildlife
species demonstrated cross-reactivity with a mean relative avidity of
> 50% with the impala and kudu conjugates and <
40% with the commercial conjugates. These results demonstrate the need
for species-specific conjugates to improve the quality of immunoassays
currently in use in wildlife, thus providing better tools for the
surveillance of zoonotic agents along the livestock-wildlife-human
interface.
COVID-related incentive payments to healthcare workers
Authors: Bocharova Irina , Rymanov Alexander
Published: March 2023

Introduction/Objective. The study estimates the associations between the key pandemic indicators and the allocation of COVID-19-related bonus and welfare payments to Russian healthcare workers. Methods. The study uses regression analysis. Results. The study examines two consecutive types of COVID-19-related bonus payments: (1) incentive payments (in 2020) and (2) welfare payments (in 2020?2022). Concerning incentive payments (type 1), the study supports hypotheses regarding the association between the number of persons infected with COVID-19 in a relevant region and the actual/estimated amount of budget transfers to a relevant region for bonus payments to medical workers (a) for special working conditions and additional workload and (b) for performing particularly important work. As for welfare payments (type 2), the study supports hypotheses regarding the association between (1) COVID-19 cases, (2) COVID-19 recoveries, and (3) the fiscal year-end closeout and the amount of welfare payments. Conclusion. The main channel for financing payments to medical workers is a special welfare payment through the system of the Social Insurance Fund of the Russian Federation. This source exceeds the estimated total transfers and subsidies for similar purposes in 2020. The study tests hypotheses regarding the association between the key pandemic indicators and the size of various types of budget transfers for bonus and welfare payments to medical workers.
Etiske verdier og eksistensiell utforskning: Hvordan kan skolens religions- og livssynsundervisning arbeide med bærekraftig utvikling som tverrfaglig tema?
Authors: Skeie Geir
Published: March 2023

I norsk skole er bærekraftig utvikling ett av tre tverrfaglige tema i den nye læreplanen som ble tatt i bruk fra 2020 og presenterer dette som en viktig samfunnsutfordring. Denne artikkelen drøfter på et overordnet plan hvordan skoleverkets skolens religions- og livssynsundervisning kan og bør forholde seg til bærekraft som tema, og argumenterer for at fagplanenes kjerneelementer etisk refleksjon og utforskning av eksistensielle spørsmål og svar bør spille en sentral rolle her. Artikkelen utdyper hva det innebærer å arbeide med etiske og eksistensielle perspektiver på bærekraft og trekker veksler på nyere tekster fra pedagogisk filosofi som tar opp spørsmål om antropocen og danning. Dette gir grunnlag for å hevde at religions- og livssynsundervisningen er sentral for realisering av skolens danningsoppdrag.
English abstract
Ethical values and existential inquiry: How can religious- and worldview education approach sustainable development as a cross-curricular theme?
In Norway, sustainable development is one of three interdisciplinary topics in the new curriculum from 2020. This means that sustainability is presented as a key societal challenge and an important issue to address in and across subjects. The present article discusses how sustainability can and should be addressed in education, with particular focus on religious education. It argues, based on the curriculum formulations, that key issues should be ethical reflection and existential questions and develops what this means, drawing on educational philosophy. The relationship between the Anthropocene and Bildung are highly relevant issues in religious education, and this subject has a key role in realising the aims of education.
