The Imitation of God as a Form of Mimicry
Authors:   Stasis Center for Practical Philosophy, European University at St. Petersburg (EUSPb), Russia, Bulakhova Lina
Published: December 2024

The article explores the Christian soteriological concept of God-likeness, which,
as the author argues, is a unique form of mimicry inherent only to human nature.
Drawing on church sacraments, hagiographies, sayings of the Church Fathers, and
facts of ascetic life, the author examines the development of the idea of imitating God in early Christianity and identifies various subtypes of “divine mimicry,”
including imitating death, the desert, the cross, and angels. In volume four of The
History of Sexuality Michel Foucault presented a profound study of monastic practices of “repentance” and “maidenhood.” The text demonstrates the influence of
these practices on the formation of modern subjectivity and the emergence of such
idea as “inner space.” In this context, the author points to the mimetic nature of
the relationship between the foundations of Christian doctrine and psychoanalytic
theory.
By analyzing the biblical myth of the Fall of man and comparing it to the psychoanalytic concept of the “mirror stage” the article concludes that the central anthropological conflict—the transition from animal to human—is related to a failed divine
mimicry, an attempt to attack the Real with the goal of conforming to it. The failure lies in the fact that man acquires divine cognitive ability to encompass the entire
world by desire, but this capacity remains separate from the power to transform matter solely by Word. In conclusion, the author redefines mimicry as an imitation of
completeness or perfection and suggests that when evaluating social and political
processes, we should consider what is currently ideal or a model of such completeness (i.e., occupies the place of God).
Infinite Loss: Jealousy and Love in Mimetic Theory
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University (MSU), Grigoryeva Ekaterina ,   Institute of Scientific Information for Social Sciences (INION RAS), Moscow, Russia
Published: December 2024

The article proposes consideration of the situation of infinite loss within the framework of René Girard’s triangle of mimetic mechanism that includes a loving subject, the object of his love and a model that acts as an obstacle to the desire of the
subject. In the described configuration, jealousy is constitutive for the subject: without continuous looking back at the model or, in other words, at the ideal Other, love
is impossible. The one to whom the subject loses his own love game becomes the
one in relation to whom he ascribes to himself a radical insufficiency. The desire
of the subject here becomes the obsession with the ideal Other or the mediator of
desire—the one who prevents the subject from reaching the object of his love and
the one who provides jealousy with his appearance.
In addition to the Girard’s philosophy and its interpretation by Jean-Pierre Dupuis,
the author of the article bases his concept of endless loss on the works of Merab
Mamardashvili, Paul Preciado, Alenka Zupančič, Jacques Lacan, Georges Bataille, Otto
Rank, Michel Leiris, Alain Badiou, Franz Kafka. As the main illustrative material, the
article considers the Black Swan movie by Darren Aronofsky, which describes the situation of endless loss in the mimetic theory. The mediator of desire here simultaneously becomes the mirror double of the subject, thereby radicalizing the intuition of
imitation within the framework of the mimetic triangle. Desire appears as impossible and unattainable, since the elimination of duality turns out to be a suicidal act, and
the appearance of winning invariably turns into a loss. The possibility of getting out of
the described triangle of imitation and loss is problematized on the material of Marcel
Proust’s The End of Jealousy and is associated by the author with the theme of death.

Performance of maximal cardiorespiratory capacity (V̇O2max) tests is common in intermittent aerobic sports such as soccer. V̇O2max test is considered a strenuous exercise, which can modulate immunity. Thus, it is necessary to understand how immunological indicators react after performing a V̇O2max test. We aimed to analyze the acute effect of the V̇O2max test on immunological indicators in football athletes. Pre-experimental trial with a sample of 16 college soccer athletes (male gender, age: 22.0±1.7). The athletes underwent V̇O2max test performed on a mechanical treadmill; respiratory gas analysis occurred by ergoespirometry. Blood samples (20mL) were collected from the athletes at the pre and post V̇O2max test moments. Immunological indicators were determined by complete blood count tests for total leukocyte count and subtypes (lymphocytes, NK-cells and neutrophils) and immunophenotyping (T/B-lymphocytes) by flow cytometry. After V̇O2max testing, there was a significant increase in total leukocyte (Effect-size: 3.4, p: 0.001) and lymphocyte (Effect-size: 3.1, p: 0.001) counts, and a decrease in the percentage of neutrophils (Effect-size: 1.1, p<0.001). There was an increase in T lymphocyte subpopulations: CD3-CD16-56, CD16-56, CD56, CD3, CD3-CD4, CD3-CD8 (Effect-size>0.6, p<0.05), as well as an increase in CD-20 B-lymphocytes (Effect size: 0.6). In soccer athletes, the V̇O2max test promotes increased levels of total leukocytes and lymphocytes, as well as, promotes reduced levels of neutrophils.
Diasporic Cosmopolitanism and Digital (Dis)Connectivity Among Turkish Women in Rome
Authors: Minchilli Claudia
Published: December 2024

This study advances the field of disconnection studies by examining how digital (dis)connective practices intersect with diasporic identity construction and the articulation of belonging, focusing on the experiences of Turkish migrant women in Rome. Based on in-depth interviews and participant observation with 10 Turkish women, the research highlights the central role of social class in the emergence of a “diasporic cosmopolitan” identity that is culturally and socially detached from, or even opposed to, their national identity. It further shows how this “cosmopolitan” identity intersects with the performance of specific digital (dis)connective practices and explores the cultural, political, and social dimensions of these dynamics. Particular attention is given to the influence of contemporary Turkish politics on online and offline diasporic sociality, which fosters tensions and segmented solidarities. Through this lens, the study identifies emergent forms of digital (dis)connective practices among Turkish women in Rome, which shape transnational and local social alliances and disruptions.
DIRECTIONS OF BALANCING THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF ENTERPRISES IN THE CONDITIONS OF MILITARY AGGRESSION
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Liudmila Martyniuk , Derevianko Svitlana
Published: December 2024

Attention is focused on the need to diagnose the economic activity of enterprises in the conditions of a full-scale war. An important component of such work is the assessment of the financial condition, which ensures the formation of an integral assessment of the financial stability of the enterprise. The main parameters for assessing the financial condition are financial stability, solvency, liquidity, creditworthiness, profitability, business activity, optimality of profit distribution.

The concept of "balancing the financial state of the enterprise" and its main directions are defined, namely: optimization of the structure of assets and the ratio of equity and debt capital, management of liabilities, ensuring a sufficient level of liquidity, assessment and management of financial risks.

An assessment of the financial condition of JSC "Ukrtransgaz" was carried out. It is pointed out that the enterprise is strategically important for Ukraine, therefore the preservation of its balanced financial condition becomes critically important not only for the entire population, business, but also for the state as a whole. The analysis showed that in the conditions of a full-scale invasion, there was an improvement in the company's financial condition, first of all, due to the increase in tariffs for natural gas storage, and, secondly, due to a decrease in the cost of sold products. However, despite the increase in sales volume, the weak points of the financial condition of JSC "Ukrtransgaz" are: a decrease in the value of fixed assets, a low level of profitability, the presence of a significant amount of receivables, a lack of assets that can be sold to cover long-term loans, the absence of a business insurance reserve, an increase the repayment period of payables and electricity costs.

The key areas of balancing the financial condition of JSC "Ukrtransgaz" are proposed: development and implementation of a strategy to increase revenues, hedging risks caused by invasion, attracting investments to modernize fixed assets, forming a business insurance reserve.
ACTIVATION OF THE BANKING SYSTEM'S ROLE IN STATE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

The article is concerned with studying and substantiating the role of the banking system in the economic development of the State in the context of sustainable development. It is determined that the banking system is the basis of the financial infrastructure, which ensures economic stability and promotes the efficient allocation of financial resources.

The banking system plays a key role in the economic development of a country, as it is the main link in the financial infrastructure that ensures the efficient flow of funds and stability of the economy. Banks accumulate financial resources of households and businesses, channeling them into investments, lending, supporting new projects and developing innovations, which stimulates economic growth and increases the country's competitiveness. The importance of the banking system is growing significantly in the face of modern challenges, including globalisation, which opens up new markets and opportunities, but also increases competition and requires adaptation to international financial standards. Economic instability caused by financial crises, pandemics, or geopolitical changes increases the role of banking institutions in ensuring financial stability, providing anti-crisis tools, and mitigating the economic consequences. Banks can effectively use monetary policy to support the economy during a recession or slowdown, reducing the risk of systemic crises. Therefore, in the context of the globalisation of the global financial system, there is an urgent need to find effective mechanisms that will allow banks to transform from traditional financial intermediaries into strategic participants in economic processes.

Authors: Blaginin Andrey A. , Vu Quang H. , Annenkov Oleg A.
Published: December 2024

This article presents the assessment of the duration of the effect of a 5-day course of breathing and speech training under excess oxygen pressure in 12 Vietnamese volunteer subjects. The follow-up assessment was conducted six months after the training, with rapid aircraft cabin depressurization being simulated with excess oxygen pressure (500 mm H2O) supplied through an oxygen mask. The training and the present study were carried out using the “BARS-GD” hardware/software system developed by the Russian company Konstel. All Vietnamese volunteer subjects were found to retain high tolerance to excess oxygen pressure, maintained speech formation abilities and work capacity. A statistically significant increase in systolic and diastolic blood pressure (by 25% and 34.2%, respectively), heart rate and respiratory rate (14.4% and 41.7%, respectively) was recorded. Analysis of psychophysiological performance at the peak of excess oxygen pressure revealed a 45.2% (p 0.01) increase in simple sensorimotor reaction time, which is 27% (p 0.01) higher than immediately after the training. No significant changes were observed in the psychological component. Therefore, the functional state of the Vietnamese volunteer subjects under simulated rapid cabin depressurization and breathing under excess oxygen pressure was considered normal, with higher involvement of the body’s adaptive mechanisms than immediately after the training. The 5-day course of training in breathing and speech under excess oxygen pressure effectively developed sustainable psychological readiness in the volunteer subjects, breathing and speech skills, and professional reliability under extreme conditions of stratospheric cabin depressurization. Overall, this training course is considered promising for inclusion in the program of psychophysiological preparation of Vietnamese pilots for stratospheric flights.

Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND: Gram-negative bacteria, specifically P. aeruginosa, Acinetobacter spp., Klebsiella spp., and Enterobacter spp., can cause osteomyelitis. Two-stage treatment according to the Masquelet technique is considered effective; however, single-stage surgical treatment options are also being investigated. Submerged implants with bioactive antimicrobial calcium phosphate coating may prevent infectious complications, reduce the incidence of osteomyelitis relapses, and accelerate osteogenesis.
AIM: To assess bactericidal properties of experimental titanium implants with antimicrobial calcium phosphate coating against gram-negative bacteria.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A single-center, continuous, prospective, open-label experimental in vitro study was performed. The disk diffusion test was used. BT6 titanium disks with calcium phosphate coating, impregnated with amikacin, cefepime, and cefotaxime (2.5/5.0/7.5 µg), were tested. Reference cultures: archival strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (АТСС 27853), Acinetobacter baumannii (АТСС 19606), and Klebsiella pneumoniae (АТСС 700603). The results were assessed by the inhibition zone diameter around a disk.
RESULTS: The study found that impregnating a bioactive metal base with amikacin and cefotaxime at a dose of ≥2.5 µg or cefepime at a dose of ≥7.5 µg results in bactericidal activity against Klebsiella pneumoniae. Amikacin at a dose of ≥5 µg and cefepime at a dose of ≥7.5 µg provide bactericidal activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Antibiotic doses used in the study had no bactericidal effect against Acinetobacter baumannii. The bactericidal effect was only investigated in relation to archival gram-negative bacteria strains, which is a limitation of this study. Using clinical strains may yield different results.
CONCLUSION: Commonly used antibiotics may provide bactericidal properties of the surface of submerged implants designed for traumatic and orthopedic surgery, notably against gram-negative bacteria. However, the efficacy of implants depends on the selected antibiotic and its concentration.

Authors: Melikova Regina E. , Tsiskarashvili Archil V.
Published: December 2024

Local depot systems with high antibiotic content are an essential component of combination therapy in osteoarticular infections. These systems are effective against microbial biofilms by providing drug concentrations that surpass the requirements of planktonic bacteria. Currently, there are numerous support matrixes with various properties. Only a few of them are sufficiently studied and actively used in clinical practice. These include polymethylmethacrylate-based bone cement, calcium sulfate, collagen, allografts, etc. However, the vast majority of local systems have only been studied in vitro and in vivo. This review describes currently available depot systems, including their primary properties, advantages, and disadvantages, as well as potential for future use of a specific matrix both for the treatment and prevention of diseases.

Published: December 2024

Improving convolutional neural network (CNN) quality for object search in histology scans is a long-standing problem that essentially involves selecting the best CNN architecture and creating a high-quality dataset. The efficacy of object detection algorithms is determined by numerous factors, including image quality, image size, and the search object. The primary aim of this study was to identify published studies on the impact of various image characteristics in a training sample and CNN architecture on the quality of a created model. Literature published in the last 5 years was reviewed, which addressed data pre-processing, methodology, requirements to images included in datasets, image preparation for CNN model development, and architecture selection. At the time of the study, there were no requirements to image size, and there was no data on the ratio of object size to image size for the best model performance. Moreover, the selection of neural network architecture is lacking in transparency and algorithmization. In the majority of cases, researchers recommend architectures that they have developed or used themselves, without explaining the reasons and selection criteria or comparing them to alternative options. All these factors significantly complicate the development of CNN models for medical image processing. This paper presents a brief overview of publications that address image preparation for datasets, as well as a potential approach to CNN architecture selection.

Adult’s perceptions after residential care: facilitating and inhibiting factors
Authors: Abrunhosa Fernanda , Novo Rosa , Prada Ana
Published: December 2024

This study explores the perceptions of formerly institutionalized adults in Portugal regarding the challenges they faced after leaving residential care. It aims to understand the feelings experienced upon leaving the institution; to infer the facilitating and inhibiting factors of post-institutionalization transition, and to outline proposals for improving support during this transition. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 18 adults aged 24 to 39. The first and second-order categories were identified within three thematic axes. Results highlighted that the cessation of care was essentially remembered with negative feelings. Facilitating factors included academic commitment, social support, having or going to start a professional activity, and the transition to an independent living apartment emerged as facilitating factors. Poor functional skills, economic struggles, limited reality understanding, lack of formal support during the transition out of institutions, and social stigma emerged as inhibiting factors. Multiple personal and contextual factors influenced coping with transition challenges, emphasizing the need for qualified support and investment in promoting autonomy and self-confidence.

This study focused on the field of imagination and creativity in the classroom by proposing a creative learning experience to a group of 92 fine arts students. Following a theoretical reflection on strategies of unpredictability in artistic creation, participants were asked to develop an artistic project in which chance intervened at some point in the creative process. Our objective was to evaluate the influence of image control, creative thinking, and creative experiences on the realization of an artistic project. Two expert judges measured the originality, the elaboration, and the total score of each project. The results demonstrated the importance of mental imagery and creative thinking in artistic creation. Image control and creative thinking influenced the originality of the project. It can be interesting to develop creative learning experiences that involve imagination and creative thinking in the classroom. In addition, future research work is proposed.
Utilización de material cinematográfico como mejora educativa respecto las clases magistrales en entorno universitario
Authors: Vázquez-Miraz Pedro , Fàbregues Sergi , Escalante Elsa
Published: December 2024

En un curso universitario de psicología social (N = 146) en Cartagena de Indias (Colombia) se introdujo un enfoque didáctico utilizando material cinematográfico de alta calidad, concretamente 12 Angry Men (1957). El estudio pretendía determinar si el visionado de esta película clásica mejoraría los resultados académicos y la satisfacción de los estudiantes, y reduciría las tasas de abandono. Este objetivo se abordó mediante una comparación de clases naturales (dos aulas por semestre) a lo largo de un año y medio. Inicialmente, todo el alumnado realizó una evaluación de comprensión e interpretación de la película junto con una prueba de conocimientos (pre-test). En las aulas más pequeñas, se impartieron clases tradicionales (grupo de control), mientras que, en las aulas más grandes, el curso se impartió utilizando la película (grupo experimental). Al final de la intervención, se registraron las puntuaciones académicas y una encuesta de satisfacción de método mixto («post-test»). Los resultados de los tres semestres mostraron que el alumnado expuesto a la película: (1) presentaba menores tasas de abandono y (2) proporcionaba comentarios cualitativos más positivos. Además, obtenía mejores calificaciones académicas y mayores puntuaciones de satisfacción, aunque las diferencias no fueron estadísticamente significativas. A pesar de las limitaciones de los datos cuantitativos, los resultados apoyan el uso continuado de material fílmico de alta calidad en el ámbito universitario colombiano para ilustrar conceptos de psicología social.
Salud mental e intención de abandono universitario: el papel moderador de la adaptación
Authors: Campos-Muñoz Eva , Blanco Elena , Bernardo Ana Belén
Published: December 2024

Son pocas las investigaciones sobre abandono universitario que ahondan en cómo la salud mental y la adaptación universitaria influyen en este fenómeno. Mientras la adaptación universitaria se posiciona como una variable clave en modelos clásicos y actuales de abandono, la salud mental ha recibido menos atención por parte de la literatura científica especializada. Sin embargo, se han reportado altos niveles de estrés, ansiedad y depresión entre el alumnado universitario que pueden repercutir en el éxito académico. Por ello, la presente investigación tiene como objetivo profundizar en la relación entre la intención de abandono universitario y la salud mental, medida en términos de estrés, ansiedad y depresión, así como estudiar el efecto moderador de la adaptación universitaria sobre dicha relación. Se empleó un muestreo intencional en el que participaron 581 universitarios españoles (mujeres y varones) y se realizaron tablas de contingencia y análisis de pendiente simple con el paquete estadístico SPSS y Jamovi. Los resultados reflejan que más del 20 % de los estudiantes refieren síntomas severos de estrés, ansiedad y/o depresión, percibiendo aquellos con intención de abandono puntuaciones más altas. Además, se encuentra un efecto de moderación positivo de la adaptación, de forma que cuanto menor es la adaptación, mayor es la influencia del estrés, ansiedad y depresión sobre la intención de abandonar los estudios. Estos hallazgos evidencian el papel protector de la adaptación sobre el abandono universitario. Así, sugieren la necesidad de aumentar los programas destinados a favorecer la adaptación universitaria, el éxito académico y reducir el abandono universitario.

Published: December 2024

The current exploration focuses on the preparation of Al2219 with micron-sized Si3N4 composite using a liquid metallurgy technique. Al2219 alloy was used to make composites with 3 and 6 wt. % of Si3N4. Microstructural analysis was performed on the produced composites using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Under the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) guidelines, measurements of ultimate and yield strength, hardness and ductility were carried out. Micrographs taken using a SEM showed that the boron carbide particles were evenly dispersed throughout the Al2219. Al2219 alloy’s hardness and tensile properties were improved by adding Si3N4 particles. Further, Al2219 with 3 and 6 wt.% of Si3N4 composites showed lesser ductility in comparison with Al2219 material. Thus, developed composites exhibit higher tensile properties than Al alloy, hence these composites are proposed to be used in automotive applications.

Aluminum, often used to make pistons, has a melting point of 660˚ C. Since pistons operate at 1100˚ C in IC Engines, we coated the aluminum to raise the resistance temperature. Ceramic coatings offer significant advantages against wear, corrosion, and erosion and are therefore frequently utilized in industry. One of the most researched ceramic materials is zirconium dioxide (ZrO2). The present work is carried by using aluminum alloy uncoated and 200μm of zirconium dioxide coating is coated on an aluminum piston using plasma spray process. After that, the coated piston underwent tests for wear, corrosion, hardness, and thermal stability the hardness of coated and uncoated is conducted using Vickers hardness test it is found that hardness of coated surface is increased by 37% compared to uncoated piston material, wear test is conducted using pin on disc apparatus it found that wear rate of coated surface is decreased by 22% compare to uncoated surface, corrosion test results shows the rate of corrosion of coated surface better resistance compared to uncoated specimen microstructure structure studies is carried using SEM due to presence of minute air gaps of coated the thermal resistance of material is significantly increased compared to uncoated material.
Major Findings: The hardness of coated surface is increased by 37% compared to uncoated piston material. The wear rate of coated surface is decreased by 22% compared to uncoated surface. Corrosion test results show the rate of corrosion of coated surface better resistance to Sodium sulphate and vanadium pentoxide compared to uncoated specimen.

Aluminium Alloy based Metal Matrix Composites (AAMMCs) has widely used in defense, aircraft and automobile applications because of their enhanced engineering properties with light weight metals. Nano sized silicon nitride (80 μm) is used as a reinforcement in this study, whereas aluminium alloy 8011 is selected as the matrix material. Using the stir casting method, metal matrix composites made of aluminium alloy 8011 with varying weight percentages of Si3N4 (0, 4, 8, 12, and 16) are created. The stir casted AL 8011/Si3N4 composites further heated under T6 condition. The AL 8011/Si3N4 – T6 composites are further subjected to Energy Dispersive X ray Analysis (EDAX) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) to identify by the presence of elements and study the microstructure characterization, respectively. The density, microhardness and wear test are conducted by employing Archimedes principle, Vickers hardness tested and pin on disc equipment, respectively. The wear test is done at different sliding distances like (500, 1000, 1500 and 2000 m), applied load like (10, 20, 30 and 40 N) and kept sliding at a speed of 1 m/s. The increasing weight percentage of silicon nitride expands the increasing of density and Vickers hardness up to 12 wt % of silicon nitride and decreasing by 16 wt % addition. The wear resistances of AL 8011/12 wt % Si3N4 –T6 composite exhibits higher wear resistance than other Al8011 based composites.

У статті відзначено, що зважаючи на значний спектр інноваційних рішень, які потребують впровадження, уряди країн та підприємства зайняті пошуком ефективних механізмів фінансування таких проєктів. Враховуючи екологізацію економіки ключовим пріоритетом інвестиційної політики багатьох країн світу на сьогоднішній день стає фінансування кліматично-нейтральних проєктів за рахунок використання такого боргового інструменту як зелені облігації, що забезпечують додаткове фінансування проєктів декарбонізації секторів, які генерують значні обсяги викидів вуглецю, у т. ч. транспорту. Досліджено темпи та обсяги реалізованих інвестицій компаніями та урядами і виявлено зниження глобальної інвестиційної активності в результаті геополітичної та економічної нестабільності, зростання вартості фінансування та ризикованості інвестиційних рішень. Зважаючи на те, що одним із ключових напрямів інноваційної модернізації транспорту нині є декарбонізація і стимулювання впровадження інноваційних рішень, які дозволять прискорити перехід транспортного сектору до екологічно стійких систем, обґрунтовано доцільність використання зелених облігацій і в транспортній галузі. Відзначаючи вагомий потенціал використання технологічних рішень транспортно-логістичними підприємствами для їх фінансування запропоновано використовувати венчурні інвестиції.
