En las trincheras de la prensa carlista: periodismo y militancia en el siglo XX
Authors: Caspistegui Gorasurreta Francisco Javier
Published: February 2023

Aunque dado por muerto en repetidas ocasiones, el carlismo mantuvo una significativa presencia en la sociedad española del siglo XX, pese a una progresiva contracción fruto de la suma de divisiones y rupturas. Una de las formas en las que se hizo presente en el espacio público fue a través de una prensa que se profesionalizó, aunque buena parte de sus periodistas combinaran esta actividad con una militancia y un activismo intenso, lo que da lugar a tres preguntas: ¿cuál fue la conexión entre carlismo y militancia? ¿Puede hablarse de militancia carlista? ¿Cómo se plasma esta militancia en los periodistas de este movimiento? En esta diversidad de situaciones hay algunas significativas trayectorias personales que servirán para un análisis de los procesos de modernización y adaptación de la prensa carlista al cambiante y turbulento contexto del siglo XX. Se trata de Juan María Roma, Melchor Ferrer y Josep Carles Clemente, figuras relevantes de este marco carlista que caracterizan la combinación de actividad profesional y militancia activa.

Sanremo 1972: los frentes de liberación homosexual contra el discurso de la psiquiatría. Textos en disputa, protesta y acción colectiva
Authors: Mora Gaspar Victor Luis
Published: February 2023

En 1972, el Centro Italiano di Sessuologia celebró en Sanremo un congreso en el que autoridades médicas y psiquiátricas de distintos países expusieron las teorías que enmarcaban las sexualidades no normativas como patologías de potencial peligrosidad, y las prácticas terapéuticas y quirúrgicas en que se utilizaban para «corregirlas» –o eliminarlas. Este evento fue elegido por el colectivo italiano FUORI! como primera acción de protesta revolucionaria, en colaboración con otros frentes. En el presente trabajo se contrastan fuentes no consultadas hasta ahora y se ponen en común –tanto aquellas a cargo de la institución, como las producidas por los colectivos– con el objetivo de aclarar ciertas polémicas sobre lo que se dijo en Sanremo. Concretamente, sobre las declaraciones del doctor español López Ibor a propósito de la realización de lobotomías a homosexuales en las prisiones franquistas

¿Opinión pública en el carlismo? La prensa de don Carlos durante la Primera Guerra
Authors: Rújula López Pedro Víctor
Published: February 2023

En el estudio del carlismo se han confundido con demasiada frecuencia los principios que defendía este movimiento contrarrevolucionario con las técnicas empleadas para conseguir el triunfo de sus ideas. Esta confusión ha llevado a desentenderse de los aspectos más ligados a la comunicación y, en particular, a los esfuerzos realizados desde el primer momento por controlar la opinión pública, especialmente en el ámbito territorial donde llevaban a cabo sus acciones militares, donde reclutaban a sus soldados y extraían sus contribuciones y donde precisaban de la obediencia de los habitantes. El presente artículo estudia las estrategias de comunicación utilizadas por el carlismo en la primera guerra para construir un estado de opinión favorable apoyándose en la prensa. Para ello se analizan cuatro dimensiones de la prensa carlista. En primer lugar, su condición de prensa oficial expresión de una estructura política. En segundo lugar, el tratamiento de la información en sus páginas. En tercer lugar, la importancia que adquiere como instrumento de combate en el campo de la opinión política. Y, finalmente, la labor de fondo orientada a modelar una visión del mundo en coherencia con los valores del altar y el trono. El estudio de estas diversas facetas permite una revalorización del papel desempeñado por la prensa en el campo del infante Don Carlos.

aproximación histórica y cultural de algunos conceptos jurídicos
Authors: Li Yun
Published: February 2023

Este artículo propone una mirada comparativa e interdisciplinaria, mediante herramientas históricas, en particular el modelo de historia social, a algunos conceptos jurídicos, como el Derecho Civil, la obligación y el contrato. El derecho de un país nunca ha existido independientemente, forma parte de su cultura y está influido profundamente por su historia y el modo de pensar particular. Tomamos estos conceptos básicos del derecho de contratos como ejemplo y muestra. Los conceptos más importantes con los que vamos a trabajar son los siguientes: ¿Qué se entiende por Civil Law? Y, en particular, ¿qué se entiende por obligación y contrato en los sistemas chino y latinoamericano? ¿La tradición jurídica china es igual que la de Europa y de América Latina? Para el Derecho chino, la evolución histórica de los conceptos del Derecho civil, la obligación y el contrato fue un proceso de recepción del Derecho extranjero, lo cual fue en todo caso complicado, pues siempre existían conflictos y debates sobre ello, por lo tanto, estos conceptos del derecho chino, comparados con los del derecho extranjero, muestran características particulares.
Continuous/lifelong learning and educational infrastructure: urban study
Authors: Posțan Liliana
Published: February 2023

In this article, we refer to lifelong learning infrastructure, as can be oberved and accessed by the subjects of this study near their home/location, in accordance with the recommendations of the Memo- randum on Lifelong Learning.1In order to estimate the accessibility and access to education and lifelong learning, we conducted a case study on a street in Chisinau. We note that in the Republic of Moldova, the processes of educa- tion reform through modernization have focused mainly on intellectual aspects (curriculum, teacher training, textbook reform), while “material”/infrastructure aspects (training environment and means of education) were given less attention, citing lack of financial means or division of responsibility between authorities at different levels.

In this context, we note that in 2020, Chisinau, along with 54 other cities in 27 countries around the world, joined the UNESCO Global Network of “Learning Cities”. Selected cities are outstanding examples of locations where lifelong learning can become a local reality. We analyze development strategies at different levels in order to pursue the objectives related to ensuring quality education from the perspective of lifelong learning.
Evaluation of the essential oils and teas produced from the Bahia and Pará cocoa almond husks
Authors: De Oliveira Daiene Alves , Rocha Cristiane Barbosa , Alves Moreira Ricardo Felipe
Published: February 2023

Brazil is one of the largest producers of cocoa in the world and, consequently, of the husks of cocoa almonds. This material is an industrial food waste from which it is possible to produce an aromatic tea. The aim of this work was to evaluate the chemical composition of the essential oils of the husks of cocoa almond samples from Bahia and Pará states. Total phenolic (Folin-Ciocalteu) and flavonoid (AlCl3) contents, antioxidant capacity (DPPH assay) and toxicity (Artemia salina bioassay) of its infusions were also evaluated. Essential oils were isolated by hydrodistillation and analyzed by GC techniques. Only tetradecanoic acid, n-hexadecanoic acid, ethyl tetradecanoate and methyl oleate were detected in all samples. Pyrazines are probably produced during the roasting of the seeds. The infusions presented moderate antioxidant potentials that were highly correlated with their total phenolic and flavonoid contents, and were classified as non-toxic.

Authors: Wan Chunlei , Wang Xijun , Liu Hongda , Zhang Qingyu , Yan Guangli , Li Zhineng , Fang Heng , Sun Hui
Published: February 2023

The fruit of Acanthopanax senticosus (Rupr. and Maxim.) has been newly developed for the treatment of blood deficiency syndrome clinically, but the effective constituents are still unclear, restricting its quality control and the new medicinal development based on it. This study elucidated the efficacy of A. senticosus fruit (ASF) for treating blood deficiency syndrome and accurately characterize the constituents. Chinmedomics strategy was used to identify the metabolic biomarkers of the model and the overall effect of ASF was evaluated based on the biomarker when it showed intervention effects for blood deficiency syndrome. ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was used to analyze the components in the blood absorbed from A. senticosus fruit, and the components highly relevant to the biomarker are regarded as potential effective constituents for blood deficiency syndrome. Twenty-two of the 28 urine metabolites of blood deficiency syndrome were significantly regulated by A. senticosus fruit, 97 compounds included 20 prototype components, and 77 metabolites were found in vivo under the acting condition. The highly relevant constituents were isofraxidin, eleutheroside B, eleutheroside B1, eleutheroside E, and caffeic acid, which might be the effective constituents of A. senticosus fruit. It is a promising new medicinal resource that can be used for treating blood deficiency syndrome.

Study on the aging of three typical rubber materials under high- and low-temperature cyclic environment
Authors: Li Sen , Ke Yuchao , Xie Lingyun , Zhao Zhenzhen , Huang Xiaoyu , Wang Yichun , Wang Zixi
Published: February 2023

As the key components of sealing applications, rubber seals are subject to complicated environmental conditions during the service lifetime. In this study, the aging of three typical rubber materials, ethylene–propylene–diene monomer rubber, liquid silicone rubber, and fluorine rubber, was tested under different high- and low-temperature cycle aging environments. The experimental results confirm that the reciprocating temperature cycle causes a type of fatigue failure, which could result in an increase in the rubber compression set. In addition, a novel accelerated aging test method was proposed based on the dominant damage mechanism of rubber material caused by the temperature cycle treatments. Based on this method, the long-term aging test results of rubber samples under high- and low-temperature cycle conditions can be predicted. This method could significantly shorten the aging test time and reduce the test cost.
Cultural unit red in the Old Testament

Published: February 2023

The paper describes and analyzes the full presence of red in the Old Testament – in Hebrew and translations. The approach is interdisciplinary, which includes: the treatment of color as a cultural unit, according to the idea of Umberto Eco; lexical and contextual semantics; examining Basic Color Terms (BCT – adjective, noun, verb), Prototype Terms (PTbloodandfire), Rival Terms of Prototypes (RT), e.g.ruby; Ters for Basic Features of the Prototypes (TBFPburn); translation as a criterion and semiotic value; semiotic osmosis (semio-osmosis) as a process that aims equivalence between Hebrew PT and TBFP; semio-osmosis and accommodation; cultural and linguistic context; the interplay of old information (topic/theme) – new information (focus/rheme); rhizome of Hebrew rootAleph-Dalet-Memderiving untranslatable set of words; well-structured and always translatable terms for PTs. Some links between the Old and New Testaments based on red color are explicit.

Current state-of-the-art review of nanotechnology-based therapeutics for viral pandemics: Special attention to COVID-19
Authors: Motiei Marjan , Lucia Lucian A. , Sáha Tomas , Sáha Petr
Published: February 2023

Over the past two centuries, most pandemics have been caused by zoonotic RNA viruses with high mutation, infection, and transmission rates. Due to the importance of understanding the viruses’ role in establishing the latest outbreak pandemics, we briefly discuss their etiology, symptomatology, and epidemiology and then pay close attention to the latest chronic communicable disease, SARS-CoV-2. To date, there are no generally proven effective techniques in the diagnosis, treatment, and spread strategy of viral diseases, so there is a profound need to discover efficient technologies to address these issues. Nanotechnology can be a promising approach for designing more functional and potent therapeutics against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and other viral diseases. Moreover, this review intends to summarize examples of nanostructures that play a role in preventing, diagnosing, and treating COVID-19 and be a comprehensive and helpful review by covering notable and vital applications of nanotechnology-based strategies for improving health and environmental sanitation.
Quality of poultry meat- the practical issues and knowledge based solutions
Authors: Bogucka Joanna , Stadnicka Katarzyna
Published: February 2023

Animal protein is the most demanded and expensive source of nutritive protein, globally. Taking into account various types of poultry, the broiler (meat-type poultry) is widely accepted by various religious societies and relatively cheap amongst others animal protein sources. In particular, the chicken and turkey product is perceived to be healthier and of better quality due to a low content of fat, cholesterol and sodium compared to red meat. In order to maintain an unabated development and competitiveness of poultry industry, the priority is to focus on quality and safety of meat, during whole production and processing route. Consumers awareness of what should be considered a high quality product is constantly increasing, especially in the light of European and worldwide strategies to meet the common societal and environmental challenges, i.e. addressing the Zero Hunger goals, Green Deal and One Health concept. In this chapter, a common area of interest for a dialogue of poultry scientists and industrial practitioners is drawn from the background given on the consumer (demands and health)-centered issues.
Sprachgebrauch in der mündlichen Unterrichtskommunikation. Eine korpusbasierte Wortschatzanalyse
Authors: Meißner Cordula
Published: February 2023

Classroom discourse is the central form of conveying knowledge in schools. Currently, the view on language use in schools is strongly influenced by the concept of academic language. Since learners with different language exposure in German face different learning demands, it is necessary to describe the linguistic register that students newly entering this educational setting will encounter. Against this background, an exploratory study is presented which investigates the vocabulary used by teachers and students in whole group discussion based on the data sets available via the Research and Teaching Corpus of Spoken German (FOLK). For this purpose, an operationalization of vocabulary areas is proposed that distinguishes between basic vocabulary which is further differentiated into everyday words and polyvalent words, i. e. words that also occur in academic German, lexical units that go beyond basic vocabulary but are used across subjects, and (subject-)specific vocabulary. While students show an greater use of (subject-)specific (especially nominal) vocabulary units, teachers show an greater use of polyvalent units of the basic vocabulary. The results also suggest differences in terms of the subject matter. The findings provide a first quantitative insight into the lexical characteristics of knowledge-conveying and -representing language use in classroom discourse, thus allowing hypotheses to be drawn about associated linguistic demands and learning opportunities.
Chemical composition of different plant part from Lactuca serriola L. – focus on volatile compounds and fatty acid profile
Authors: Shukurlu Emil N. , Özek Gulmira , Özek Temel , Vitalini Sara
Published: February 2023

The family Asteraceae comprises many species that have medicinal importance in terms of their chemical components. Some species of the genus Lactuca have been used in folk medicine for a long time ago. One of them is L. serriola L., a wild plant that is a weed in agriculture. To date, few studies have been published on its chemical profile. In this research, we investigated the volatile compounds and fatty acids of L. serriola roots, leaves, and seeds. To this end, a microsteam distillation-solid phase microextraction technique (MSD-SPME) followed by a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis was performed. Aldehydes and terpenoids were predominantly present in the leaves with phenylacetaldehyde as the major compound (up to 18%) while 2-ethyl hexanol (up to 36.9%) was the most abundant substance in the roots. Among the fatty acids, nonadecanoic acid (38.3%) was the main one detected in the leaves, while linoleic acid (57.7%) was predominant in the seeds. Some of the detected constituents have already demonstrated importance in medicinal and industrial areas. As a result, this species could be further investigated for its biological features and be considered as a source of ingredients beneficial in different fields, including pharmaceuticals.
Espacios monstruosos: reconfiguraciones del terror en dos cuentos de María Fernanda Ampuero
Authors: Sánchez Cristina
Published: February 2023

En este artículo se analiza el uso de categorías como lo monstruoso y lo doméstico en la cuentística de la ecuatoriana María Fernanda Ampuero. La interpretación de estas historias se realizará desde el género literario del horror y se hará énfasis en el uso de motivos góticos para señalar cómo esta apropiación sirve para dramatizar la posición de la mujer latinoamericana frente a diversas violencias estructurales que se intensifican en segmentos poblacionales especialmente vulnerables. Al estudiar el gótico desde una perspectiva crítica feminista se analizarán los espacios de confinamiento físicos y simbólicos que van desde el castillo embrujado en la tradición clásica hasta el cuerpo femenino como último espacio de resistencia en el contexto latinoamericano, cautiverios ante los cuales lo monstruoso representa tanto la fuerza que repliega al sujeto femenino como su posibilidad de transgresión.

El deseo como principio de transformación en Aventuras sigilosas (1945) de Lezama Lima
Authors: Gutiérrez Victoria Jesús Armando
Published: February 2023

Este artículo analiza Aventuras sigilosas (1945), poemario de José Lezama Lima, a través del concepto de deseo como principio estructural y dinámico en el proceso de transformación al que es sometido el sujeto protagónico; en dicho tránsito, la compleja red de imágenes en sucesión, con distintos valores simbólicos en los poemas, tiene una función central. Para estudiar este fenómeno, se retoman tres composiciones: “Llamado del deseoso”, “El fuego por la aldea” y “El guardián inicia el combate circular”, pues constituyen puntos nodales en el itinerario de transformaciones que articula este poemario. Tras el análisis textual, se señala la naturaleza heterogénea e integral del deseo no sólo como principio propio de la esfera sexual, sino como una voluntad dinámica de cambio, vinculada con imágenes naturales y míticas como el fuego.
Palabras clave: deseo, imagen, transformación, fuego, poesía.

An Examination of the Motivations to Maintain, Approach, and Avoid by Proximity to the Ideal State
Authors: Ecker Yael , Gilead Michael , Imhoff Roland
Published: February 2023

The current research examined the motivations to maintain, approach, and avoid at different distances from one's ideal state. Although keeping things as they are (maintenance) is often equated with avoiding changes, we predicted pronounced differences between these goals’ motivation gradients. We reasoned that maintenance goals are energized by positive current states, leading motivation to increase with proximity to the ideal. Avoidance, in contrast, is energized by threat, and therefore decreases with proximity to the ideal, which implicates reduced threat. Three studies (N = 599) found a robust pattern wherein the motivation gradient of maintenance is distinct from both approach and avoidance. Participants reported motivation in hypothetical scenarios in the domains of financial gain and weight loss. The motivation to maintain increased with proximity to the ideal state, while both motivations to approach and avoid decreased. Our results support a ternary goal distinction and may inspire future research in that direction.
Photoperiod Impacts Nucleus Accumbens Dopamine Dynamics
Authors: Jameson Alexis N. , Siemann Justin K. , Melchior James , Calipari Erin S. , McMahon Douglas G. , Grueter Brad A.
Published: February 2023

Circadian photoperiod, or day length, changes with the seasons and influences behavior to allow animals to adapt to their environment. Photoperiod is also associated with seasonal rhythms of affective state, as evidenced by seasonality of several neuropsychiatric disorders. Interestingly, seasonality tends to be more prevalent in women for affective disorders such as major depressive disorder and bipolar disorder (BD). However, the underlying neurobiological processes contributing to sex-linked seasonality of affective behaviors are largely unknown. Mesolimbic dopamine input to the nucleus accumbens (NAc) contributes to the regulation of affective state and behaviors. Additionally, sex differences in the mesolimbic dopamine pathway are well established. Therefore, we hypothesize that photoperiod may drive differential modulation of NAc dopamine in males and females. Here, we used fast-scan cyclic voltammetry (FSCV) to explore whether photoperiod can modulate subsecond dopamine signaling dynamics in the NAc core of male and female mice raised in seasonally relevant photoperiods. We found that photoperiod modulates dopamine signaling in the NAc core, and that this effect is sex-specific to females. Both release and uptake of dopamine were enhanced in the NAc core of female mice raised in long, summer-like photoperiods, whereas we did not find photoperiodic effects on NAc core dopamine in males. These findings uncover a potential neural circuit basis for sex-linked seasonality in affective behaviors.
Yes, Pain, But What Else?
Authors: Abeygunawardana Melanie
Published: February 2023

This essay argues that the dynamic between flat emotions and transformative flesh in Toni Morrison’s God Help the Child engages the strategies and failures of racial liberalism. I define racial liberalism as the US’s rights-based approach to racial justice across the twentieth and twenty-first centuries that frames racism as a private, psychological drama of emotions. By veering away from strong emotions and the liberal subject and toward affect and materiality, Morrison shifts blame away from individual victims and perpetrators and instead highlights the harm of larger, administratively “neutral” systems like the law and the prison industrial complex.
Gendered Mattering
Authors: Nelson Lauren
Published: February 2023

This essay reads Guadeloupean novelist Simone Schwartz-Bart’s Pluie et vent sur Télumée miracle (The Bridge of Beyond), positioning the novel as a vital archive for decolonizing the so-called ontological turn. In addition to narrativizing the stakes of disavowing the human, the novel situates gendered embodiment at the heart of these concerns, asking whether a movement toward the nonanthropocentric subject is always a movement away from how gender matters, and, significantly, how gender matters alongside race.

A graphene -coated iron nanoparticles produced by carbon arc method, which can be used as a new kind of magnetic targeting and heating drug carrier for cancer therapy. It presents an special nanostructure of iron nanoparticles in inner core and nano-graphene shells outside. The inner core has great effect of targeting magnetic heating and its nano-graphene shells have a high drug adsorption ability due to its high surface area. Magnetic induction heating effect of pig liver injected mixed liquids with different concentration graphene coated iron particles in physiological saline indicates that the more quantity of nanoparticles used, the higher temperature it is. Magnetic induction heating effect of the pig liver was compared in the case of filling method and injection method (both were containing 0.3g graphene coated iron nanoparticles). The iron nanoparticle in its inner core has good effect of magnetic induction heating, the temperature can go up to 51 ℃ in the case that graphene coated iron nanoparticles mixed with physiological saline were distributed uniformly in pig liver. And the temperature can go up to 46℃ in the case that graphene-coated iron nanoparticles was injected in a certain section of pig liver. It is obvious that injected one is much better than that of filled, but they are all enough to kill the cancer cells.

In this study, Ag doped TiO2 nanofibers were successfully prepared by electrospinning technology for photocatalytic degradation. The structure, morphology and optical properties of the as-prepared nanofibers were analyzed through X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis). Photocatalytic degradation results show that Ag doped TiO2 nanofibers have higher photocatalytic activity than pure TiO2 nanofibers under both visible light and ultraviolet light irradiation, which can effectively improve the degradation efficiency. The best degradation sample in this experiment is 5% Ag doped TiO2 nanofibers, which can complete methylene blue (MB) degradation in 90 minutes under UV light and 70% MB degradation in 240 minutes under visible light.
Aggressive versus indolent insulinomas: new clinicopathological insights
Authors: Hackeng Wenzel M , Brosens Lodewijk A A , Dreijerink Koen M A
Published: February 2023

Insulinomas are rare functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. While most insulinomas are indolent and cured after surgery, 10–15% of cases show aggressive or malignant tumor behavior and metastasize locally or to distant organs. Patients with metastatic insulinoma survive significantly shorter. Recognizing aggressive insulinomas can help to predict prognosis, guide therapy and determine follow-up intensity after surgery. This review offers a summary of the literature on the significant clinical, pathological, genetic and epigenetic differences between indolent and aggressive insulinomas. Aggressive insulinomas are characterized by rapid onset of symptoms, larger size, expression of ARX and alpha-1-antitrypsin and decreased or absent immunohistochemical expression of insulin, PDX1 and GLP-1R. Moreover, aggressive insulinomas often harbor ATRX or DAXX mutations, the alternative lengthening of telomeres phenotype and chromosomal instability. Tumor grade and MEN1 and YY1 mutations are less useful for predicting behavior. Aggressive insulinomas have similarities to normal alpha-cells and non-functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, while indolent insulinomas remain closely related to normal beta-cells. In conclusion, indolent and aggressive insulinoma are different entities, and distinguishing these will have future clinical value in determining prognosis and treatment.
The Jewish literature of the second temple as a possible source of Ephrem the Syrian’s doctrine about the teacher as a scribe, inspired by God (in the 6th hymn "De Crucifixione")
Authors: Fomicheva Sofia
Published: February 2023

In his 6th Hymn De crucifixione that is consecrated to the interpretation of three days problem of Jesus’ resurrection, the Syriac poet-theologian Ephrem the Syrian (4th c.) functions as a teacher of astronomical and calendric lore. The article focuses on the probable sources of the construction of Ephrem’s authority as a teacher in this hymn. The author demonstrates that the astronomical discourse in the Syriac hymn is constructed with the specific structural devices, e.g., the first-person discourse, the term “calculation” and metaphorically expressed with the image of the scribe. These elements have obvious parallels within the Jewish Aramaic texts of the Second Temple, e.g., “the Aramaic Astronomical Book” and “the Document of Levi”. Like in Ephrem’s Hymn De crucifixione, in these texts are used the astronomical and other arithmetical calculations. The Jewish scribes who composed these works, transformed the old Babylonian mathematical lore into new narrative forms. In the course of this, these real scribes used fictive authority of the biblical figures associated with writing, e.g., Moses, David, Enoch, Noah and others. The author gives heed to the similar use of these biblical figures in Ephrem’s hymns and draws a conclusion about the self-definition by Ephrem as the scribe who is inspired by God and obtain a capability to interpretate God’s “secrets”. As a result, Ephrem “blends” the Christological typological interpretation of the “secret” or “symbol” with ancient Jewish and Mesopotamian connotations. Hence, in his sixth Hymn De crucifixione, the Syrian poet functions not as a theologian but as a teacher with quasi-prophetic status who is aligned with Moses and David and imitates their writing and interpretative activities. In the opinion of the author, these conclusions could shed light not only on the origins of Ephrem’s works, but on the origins of the Syriac Christianity as a whole.

OBJECTIVE

To develop a highly sensitive and specific blood biomarker panel that identifies febrile children with Kawasaki disease (KD).

METHODS

We tested blood samples from a single-center cohort of KD (n = 50) and control febrile children (n = 100) to develop a biomarker panel from 11 candidates selected by their assay clinical availability. We used machine learning with least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression to identify 11 blood markers with values incorporated into a model, which provided a binary predictive risk score for KD determined with Youden’s index. We further reduced the model using least angle regression.

RESULTS

Using 10-fold cross-validation with least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression on these 11 readouts plus patient age resulted in an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.94 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.90–0.98; P <.01). Using Youden’s index, which provided an optimal cut off for a binary predictive risk score, 88 of 97 KD-negative patients were diagnosed negative, and 47 of 50 KD-positive patients were positive, yielding a sensitivity of 0.94 (95% CI: 0.87–1.0) and specificity of 0.91 (95% CI: 0.85–0.96). Least angle regression reduced the final panel to 3 biomarkers: C-reactive protein, NT-proB-type natriuretic peptide, and thyroid hormone uptake. The predictive model then provided an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.92 (95% CI: 0.87–0.96; P <.001) along with sensitivity and specificity at 86% each.

CONCLUSIONS

Machine learning identified a highly accurate diagnostic model for KD. The reduced model employs 3 biomarkers currently approved by regulatory bodies and performed on platforms commonly used by certified diagnostic laboratories.
Євромайдан – Революція Гідності на фоні культурно-мистецького простору українського суспільства
Authors: Кендус Олександра
Published: February 2023

У статті характеризуються основні події Євромайдану – Революції Гідності у листопаді 2013 – лютому 2014 років та їх мистецьке відображення через засоби малярства, художнього та літературно-поетичного слова, які були створені як під час, так і після цих подій. Метою статті є осмислення явищ Євромайдану – Революції Гідності та їх реалій на фоні культурно-мистецького простору українського суспільства. Тема Революції Гідності є актуальною на тлі безперервної боротьби України за свою незалежність, суверенітет право на свободу вибору історичного майбуття, політичного устрою, економічного розвитку та культурного шляху. У процесі роботи над темою дослідження застосовано історико-порівняльний, структурно-функціональний, проблемно-хронологічний, комплексний, критичного аналізу та логічний методи.

Висновки: Розглянуто та проведено аналіз головних етапів Євромайдану – Революції Гідності та виявлено рефлексію сучасного українського мистецтва на її події та явища. З’ясовано, що мистецько-культурний простір надає змогу кожній особистості зокрема, та суспільству як цілісній системі пережити емоції, поділитися сокровенним, не забути і переосмислити сторінки історичного минулого України, а також демонструє надію та віру в майбутнє. Встановлено, що культура і мистецтво через художні засоби покликані зберігати у різних формах пам'ять суспільства про процеси, які відбулися. Митці осмислюючи історичні події рефлексували їх у свої твори, які знаходять нову актуальність крізь потік часу вже у сучасних історичних реаліях України. Культурний  простір та мистецтво ще раз підтвердили, що Євромайдан та Революція Гідності увійшли в історію України як знак і взірець жертовності, патріотизму та героїзму. Вкотре було доведено, що у найкритичніші та найважливіші періоди нашої історії знайдуться герої, ладні пожертвувати власним життям заради майбутнього України як незалежної демократичної держави.
Новітні нотатки до теорії події
Authors: Єременко Олександр
Published: February 2023

У статті розглядається теорія історичної події у світлі війни Росії з Україною. Аналізуються духовно-психологічні аспекти події. Подія осмислюється як боротьба воль. Розглядаються основні психологічні компоненти події: зусилля, терпіння, відповідальність, наполегливість,  ризик, самовідданість, жертовність. Аналізується онтологічна природа події. Обгрунтовується, що глибинною метафізичною основою подій є гетерогенність сущого.

У термінах гегелівської діалектики історичну подієвість можна розуміти як специфічну форму розриву між Абсолютом і собою. Звертається увага на амбівалентність, травматичність і трагізм історичної події. Підкреслюється дихотомічний характер екстремальних подій, які розколюють суспільство навпіл. Обґрунтовується розуміння події як зміни всесвітньо-історичного гештальту. Висвітлюється роль подієвості у неоднозначному процесі зміни ідентичності суб’єктів історичного процесу.

Всесвітньо-історичний смисл війни Росії з Україною розуміється як проявлення конфлікту цивілізацій, а також боротьби прогресивних і регресивних тенденцій історії. Аналізується співвідношення онтологічних і семіотичних аспектів у структурі події. Приділяється увага логіко-семантичній інтерпретації події в рамках аналітичної філософії події. Підкреслюється важливість суб’єктивно-свідомісних аспектів події. Показується, що події нинішньої Українсько-російської війни переконливо унаочнюють велкуоль собтистості в історії. Доводиться небажаність і навіть неприпустимість для сучасної епохи сакралізації подій, а особливо – неприпустимість месіанізму як ідеологічного обґрунтування агресивно-руйнівних дій політичних лідерів та екзальтованих мас.
Проблема гендерної рівності у професійному бутті нотаріуса
Authors: Манойло Наталія
Published: February 2023

Філософія, закликаючи людину до самопізнання, виходить із того об’єктивно-достовірного факту, що людина не здатна розкрити свою сутність без того, щоб розглядати себе, по-перше, є результатом еволюційного становлення  життя на планеті Земля, по-друге, своє власне становлення реалізує як соціальна істота. Таким чином, людина це не окремий індивід, а, принаймні, два індивіди різної статі, які, об’єднавшись між собою взаємним притяжінням любові, здатні продовжити своє існування в якості родових істот, використовуючи при цьому духовно-культурні надбання людства. Послуговуючись мовою, передусім писемною спадщиною, вона здатна формувати загально-родову пам’ять, забезпечуючи тим самим не лише передачу накопиченого досвіду в межах попередніх та сучасного поколінь, але й дати якщо не вічне, то багатовікове історичне буття нащадкам.

У даній статті ми спробуємо показати нотаріуса в контексті андрогін-аналізу, який використовує сучасна метаантропологія, що включає до кола своїх проблем феномен гендеру. Це необхідно з тих позицій, що професія нотаріуса досить рівномірно представлена як чоловіками, так і жінками. Будучи покликані посвідчувати законність правочинів, вони діють як діалектичні протилежності в собі самих. А саме: всі екзистенціальні відчуття, що мають, так би мовити, чоловічі й жіночі біологічні й соціокультурні домінанти, діють одночасно в обох статях. Адже закон суворий, але це закон, який не має порушуватись від відмінностей статі. В самій природі закон діє через її універсальну матеріальну дійсність. Пізнаючи її, людина долучається до творення на свою користь, що можливо за тієї умови, що він визнається первинним відносно матеріалу, що має піддатись перетворенню. Тільки в такому разі люди різної статі можуть діяти об’єктивно, що і є сутністю закону і покликанням нотаріуса.
Estudio en tiempo real del marcador discursivo «ya te/le digo» en la variante del español de la Ciudad de México
Authors: Guillén Josaphat
Published: February 2023

Dentro de las investigaciones de los marcadores discursivos, una línea que comienza a desarrollarse es la de los estudios en tiempo real, enmarcada en los planteamientos teóricos de Labov. Siguiendo esta tendencia, este estudio aborda el análisis del marcador discursivo ya te/le digo, en el español de la Ciudad de México, en dos periodos de tiempo, 1970 y 2000. Se busca determinar si su frecuencia ha sufrido algún cambio durante este lapso y relacionar esta variación con factores sociales particulares, edad, sexo y nivel de instrucción. Se retomaron tres corpus orales del español de la Ciudad de México, dos elaborados entre 1967 y 1974 y el tercero entre 1999 y 2005. El análisis reveló que las mujeres, el grupo etario mayor y el nivel de instrucción bajo, concentran la aparición de este conector. Finalmente, se concluye que estas características sociales (en particular el factor edad) contribuyen a explicar por qué ya te/le digo ha ido desapareciendo en el español de la Ciudad de México.
