Bringing Trust Building to Life Within Health Policy-Making Comment on "Placing Trust at the Heart of Health Policy and Systems"
Authors: Gille Felix , Daniore Paola , Zavattaro Federica
Published: September 2024

Public trust is crucial for health policy-making as it is closely linked to public participation and policy-makers’ legitimacy. While we have witnessed increasing interest in issues of public trust, especially since COVID-19, we argue that efforts should be made to deeply integrate the concept of public trust into health policy-making from the design to the implementation, assessment, and evaluation processes across the public health and medical domains. We propose four key aspects to consider for building public trust in the healthcare system, which have emerged from our past and ongoing health policy research on public trust: to understand trust before aiming to build trust; to provide tailored guidance on trust building in health policy; to develop trust performance indicators to assess trust interventions; and to implement targeted communication strategies.

Published: September 2024

Ypacarai Lake is one of the main tourist destinations in Paraguay. In summer, the main water quality concerns are those that threaten the primary uses as drinking water capitation sources and recreational contacts on the beaches. The study aimed to determine the concentrations of cyanobacteria, microcystins, and bacterial fecal indicators (FIB) to obtain information regarding exposure to recreational activities, contribute to baseline data for stakeholders, and determine patterns of behavior of the variables in the system studied during December 2016 to March 2017. 12 weekly samplings on San Bernardino, Aregua, and Ypacarai beaches, laboratory analysis of FIB, cyanobacteria, and microcystin LR, were performed according to official methodologies. The principal components analysis (PCA) was used with the dataset to find patterns of the system behavior. The analyses were performed using Past® software. In the study period, no cell counts could be classified as a bloom (1982 cel / mL), and microcystin concentrations were low (0.88 ppb). The PCA presented significant results with an explained variance of 52.11 and 22.54% in the first two components. From the results, it is possible to observe a predictable relationship between the concentration of toxins and the amount of cyanobacteria. There are no clear patterns concerning the sampling sites. From the results, we conclude that there is a relationship between the microbiological indicators and the presence of cyanobacteria, and that the appearance of cyanobacteria leads to a temporary increase of microcystins months after their appearance.
Aspectos anatômicos relevantes na doença do disco intervertebral em cães
Authors: Costa Juliana Imbroisi Cunha da , Reis Marcus Vinícius Lacerda
Published: September 2024

A Doença do Disco Intervertebral (DDIV) é uma condição neurológica comum em cães e rara em gatos, caracterizada por lesões no disco intervertebral, que podem ser classificadas como extrusão (Hansen tipo I) ou protrusão (Hansen tipo II). Este estudo tem como objetivo revisar a literatura disponível sobre a DDIV, focando nas suas causas, características anatômicas e padrões de ocorrência. A metodologia adotada envolveu uma análise de livros de anatomia e neurologia, além de artigos e relatos de caso, acessíveis em bases científicas em português e inglês. Os principais resultados revelam que a DDIV é mais frequente na região toracolombar da coluna vertebral e que o ligamento intercapital desempenha um papel importante na prevenção da extrusão discal na região torácica. Em cães pequenos, a DDIV frequentemente afeta o segmento C2-C3, enquanto em cães grandes não condrodistróficos, o segmento C6-C7 é mais comumente afetado. Conclui-se que um entendimento detalhado da anatomia da coluna vertebral e das características das lesões discais é essencial para um diagnóstico preciso e um manejo eficaz da DDIV, sublinhando a importância de abordagens específicas para diferentes regiões da coluna.

A biodiversidade da fauna brasileira tem ganhado cada vez mais relevância no cenário nacional, resultando na maior demanda de conhecimentos científicos acerca das espécies que a compõem, especialmente os vertebrados. A documentação e o estudo de espécies nativas contribuem para a qualidade de vida desses animais, enquanto pets não convencionais, bem como atuam de forma a fomentar práticas de conservação desses animais na natureza. O presente estudo objetiva descrever o crânio do gambá-de-orelha-preta (Didelphis aurita) em comparação com o crânio do cão doméstico (Canis lupus familiaris), bem como relacionar mensurações feitas no crânio original de Didelphis aurita com um crânio impresso em 3D a partir de imagens obtidas por tomografia computadorizada. Os resultados indicam considerável semelhança entre os crânios do gambá e do cão doméstico, além de ínfima variação entre as medidas do crânio original e do modelo 3D impresso, indicando que os processos durante o fluxograma de trabalho foram realizados de forma adequada, bem como sugerindo que o biomodelo gerado pode ser usado para estudos na ausência da peça anatômica original. O presente projeto de pesquisa, com o intuito de democratizar o conhecimento científico, desenvolveu um site (https://www2.ufjf.br/anatovirtualbrasil/) onde modelos para impressão 3D de segmentos de esqueletos de mamíferos brasileiros possam ser obtidos, contribuindo para a pesquisa e educação acerca da fauna nacional.
Inteligência artificial para gestão de resíduos em cidades inteligentes no contexto das mudanças climáticas: uma revisão da literatura
Authors: Maranhão Romero de Albuquerque
Published: September 2024

A gestão de resíduos sólidos é um desafio para as cidades inteligentes no contexto das mudanças climáticas. A inteligência artificial (IA) pode ser utilizada para otimizar a coleta e a reciclagem de resíduos sólidos, analisando dados de sensores e câmeras para identificar pontos críticos e programar rotas mais eficientes. Além disso, a inteligência artificial identifica materiais recicláveis e não recicláveis, permitindo que as empresas de coleta separem e reciclem os materiais de forma mais eficiente. Assim, esta pesquisa realizou uma revisão da literatura para explorar a temática. Os resultados indicam que os sistemas tradicionais de gerenciamento de resíduos são ineficientes e já não atendem as demandas das cidades. Soluções utilizando a IA contribuem para identificar os tipos de resíduos, na previsão da quantidade que será gerada e sugerindo as melhores formas de gerenciá-lo, reduzindo assim, a quantidade destinada aos aterros sanitários e seu impacto ambiental.

O fígado é a maior glândula do corpo dos animais e corresponde de 2 a 5% do peso corporal do indivíduo. Uma glândula que possui função exócrina, pela produção de bile, e endócrina, pela produção de albumina, fibrinogênio, α e β-globulinas, lipoproteínas, colesterol, IGF-1, angiotensinogênio, trombopoietina, betatrofina e hepcidina, sendo, também, responsável por importantes funções bioquímicas e sistêmicas para o metabolismo animal. O conhecimento anatomotopográfico da vascularização extra e intra-hepática é fundamental para intervenções cirúrgicas nesta víscera. Para o estudo, foi escolhida a angiotécnica, com perfusão e corrosão, e os vasos alvos foram a veia porta hepática e a artéria hepática. O material utilizado para  repleção nos vasos foi o látex, corado de vermelho,  para a artéria hepática, e de azul, para a veia porta hepática. O processo de corrosão do parênquima da vísceral se deu através do cozimento. Os modelos obtidos foram fotodocumentados e tiveram suas arquiteturas vasculares descritas.  O calibre das principais ramificações foram mensurados e os dados organizados em tabelas para comparação. A avaliação anatomotopográfica comparativa entre os modelos obtidos dos carnívoros domésticos avaliados evidenciou diferença morfológica na vascularização entre o lado esquerdo e direito hepático. Em cães, ambos os vasos se ramificam e irrigam todos os lobos hepáticos, diferentemente dos felinos, onde  a artéria hepática não se ramifica para o lobo hepático direito e caudado, sendo o lobo direito irrigado, exclusivamente, pela circulação portal. Ambas as espécies possuem a irrigação do lobo esquerdo pela circulação portal em razão aos ramos mais calibrosos da artéria hepática.

Authors: Alan Ali Rıza , Bayındır Cihan
Published: September 2024

Diğer doğal afetler kadar sık meydana gelmeseler de tsunamiler kıyıya yakın ekosisteme çok büyük zararlar verebilir. 30 Ekim 2020’de saat 12:51 p.m. UTC’de (2:51 p.m. GMT+03:00) 6,9 Mw büyüklüğünde bir deprem meydana gelmiştir. Depremin merkez üssü, Türkiye’nin İzmir ilinin yaklaşık 23 km güneyinde, Yunanistan’ın Samos adası açıklarında bulunmaktadır. Bu deprem 30 Ekim 2020’de kendisiyle aynı adı taşıyan İzmir-Samos (Ege) tsunamisine neden olmuştur. Bu araştırmada, gözlemsel verilere uygulanan etkili bir algılama tekniği olan Sıkıştırılabilir Algılama (CS) algoritması kullanılarak bu tsunaminin hidrodinamik zaman serilerinin verimli ölçümlerle geri çatılması incelenmiştir. Bu amaçla UNESCO veri portalının Kos Marina ve Bodrum istasyonlarından elde edilen tsunami zaman serisi kayıtlarından faydalanılmıştır. Tsunami su salınım seviyesi zaman serilerinin ve bu serilerin Fourier spektrumlarının CS algoritmasıyla etkili bir şekilde ölçülerek geri çatılmasının potansiyel uygulaması araştırılmıştır. CS kullanılarak su seviyesi salınımı, yatay ve düşey tsunami hızları, tsunami taşkın debisi zaman serileri gibi tsunami parametrelerinin başarıyla ölçülebileceği, analiz edilebileceği ve kayıt altına alınabileceği gösterilmiştir. Ayrıca gelecekteki potansiyel yönelimler, bulgularımızın kullanışlılığı ve uygulanabilirliği de irdelenmiştir.
Yağ Gülü Hasat Durumunun Belirlenmesi için Siyam Sinir Ağları: Yeni Nesil Bir Bitki Tanıma Sistemi
Authors: Büyükarıkan Birkan
Published: September 2024

Bitki biliminde önemli bir alan olan yağ gülünün hasat durumunu belirlemek, doğal yaşamın anlaşılması ve korunmasında kritik bir rol oynar. Geleneksel yöntemlerle yağ gülünün hasat durumunun sınıflandırılması ve tanınması oldukça karmaşıktır. Bu problemi çözmek amacıyla Evrişimsel Sinir Ağı (ESA) tabanlı yaklaşımlar, yağ gülünün hasat durumunu belirlemede başarılı sonuçlar sergilemiştir. Ancak, veri setindeki görüntü sayısının az olması, ESA yaklaşımlarının istenilen performans seviyesine ulaşmalarını engellemektedir. ESA’nın bir türü olan Siyam Sinir Ağları (SSA), bu zorluğa yenilikçi bir çözüm sunmaktadır. SSA, her bir görüntüyü tanımlayan benzersiz özellik vektörlerini çıkartmakta ve daha sonra bu özellik vektörleri bir mesafe ölçütü kullanılarak karşılaştırılmaktadır. Sonuç, benzerlik veya farklılık skoruna göre değerlendirilmektedir. Çalışmanın amacı, SSA ile yağ gülü bitkisinin hasat durumunun belirlenmesidir. Çalışmada modellerin değerlendirilmesinde önceden eğitilmiş VGG16 ve VGG19 modelleriyle birlikte farklı kayıp fonksiyon modelleri ile optimizasyon yöntemlerinin kombinasyonları değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmada Kosinüs benzerliği mesafe ölçütü olarak kullanılmıştır. Deneyler, herkese açık bir veri seti olan Isparta Gulu (Rosa Damascena Mill.)’nde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yağ gülü hasat durumu sınıflandırma doğruluğu en yüksek, önerilen SSA-VGG19, Karşılaştırmalı kayıp fonksiyonu ve RMSprop optimizasyon modelindedir. Önerilen bu modelin doğruluk değeri 0,986 ve eğri altında kalan alan (AUC) değeri 0,990 oranlarındadır. Deneyler, yağ gülü hasat durumunun tespitinde önerilen modelin etkili olduğu göstermektedir.

Biosorption of Oxytetracycline with Waste Pine Tree Needles
Authors: Solmaz Alper
Published: September 2024

In this study, it was aimed to remove Oxytetracycline (Oxy), one of the pharmaceutical wastes, with the powder of pine tree (Pinus nigra Arn.) needle waste (Pn-nw). Experimental data obtained from batch adsorption studies carried out at pH 5.0 ±0.5 and temperature of 23±2oC were tested with Pseudo first order, Pseudo second order and Intraparticle diffusion kinetic models and Freundlich, Langmuir and Temkin isotherm models and also error functions (Error Sum of Squares (SSE), Sum of Absolute Errors (SAE) and Average relative errors (ARE)). Furthermore, to support the adsorption of Oxy onto Pn-nw's, the characterization of both raw and Oxy charged particles was done by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) analyses. The most appropriate kinetic model in the study was determined to be the Pseudo second order with an R2 value of 0.999 and the Freundlich isotherm model with an R2 value of 0.991. Additionally, the amount of Oxy removed per unit Pn-nw (qmax) was calculated as 30.35 mgOxy/gPn-nw. The results show that Pn-nw is a very promising and environmentally friendly adsorbent for Oxy removal.
Anti-Windup PID Control for Globe Valve Internal Disturbances: Design and Simulation Approach
Authors: Adewuyi Philip , Animashaun Lukman
Published: September 2024

Internal disturbances of a working globe valves come in three variants. The variants are the breakaway point, the stuck point, and the moving friction point. The breakaway point is the point where the fluid is just about to be free after being stuck for some period within the medium. This point comes with excessive friction and it is expected that the globe valve should be able to withstand this excessive friction. At stuck point, initial movement of fluid is practically stalled due to friction which should not be allowed to prolong to prevent damage of the globe valve. The moving friction point is the normal operational point friction of the globe valve when handling fluid movement. In practice, these disturbances transition from one point to another sequentially making them seem combined because of the fast rate at which they transition. In order to solve these problems, the natures of these disturbances are modeled mathematically and simulated using SIMULINK. Then, Anti-windup Proportional Integral Derivative controller (AW-PID) is introduced to control the operation of the globe valve to overcome the saturation effect associated with actuators which the conventional PID controller could not handle effectively. For a medium without the disturbances, AW-PID gives an overshoot of 1.40%, rise time of 0.015s for a unit step input function at 0.0042s settling time. For a fully working globe valve, an overshoot of 7.25% is obtained for a unit step input function with a rise time of 0.133s and a settling time of 0.536s. This work presents an improved technique to handle the internal disturbances of a working globe valve.
Franco-Italian Laughter. The Development of French and Italian Film Comedy in the 1950s
Authors:   State Institute for Art Studies, Balandina Natalia P.
Published: September 2024

The article explores the relationship between French and Italian cinema on the example of the comedy genre of the late 1940s-1950s. In France, this interaction was made through the dialogue with the tradition of the silent comic cinema and pantomime, discoveries in the field of sound score, convergence with the genre of cloak and sword drama and costume movies. At the same time, comedy was a reaction to the trauma and despondency associ- ated with the long occupation and competing with “the black film”. In Italy, the rise of this genre was connected with neo-realism and competition with the American cinema for the audience, the dose of melodrama and a return to the tradition of “divas” coming from the 1910s. Italian film comedy of the 1950s and 1960s is a dialectal comedy rooted in popular culture, in contrast to the comedies of the Mussolini era, which were liberated from regional peculiarities, irony and were unified. The feature that unites Italian and French comedy of the 1950s is the outstanding comedians brought up on the school of variety theatre and music hall. The article also examines in detail the Franco-Italian coproduction model, which showed the structure and dynamics of the European film process as a whole and in a dual perspective, addressing both mass and independent cinema. Film production itself turns out to be a kind of bridge between France and Italy, pointing out the most diverse and unexpected parallels and overlaps.
V. G. Gaidarov's Philosophical Project on Combining K. S. Stanislavsky’s System with I. P. Pavlov’s Reflexology
Authors:   Independent Researcher, Zatsepin Victor N.
Published: September 2024

This publication is the first to examine in detail the project of the Russian actor and phi- losopher V. G. Gaidarov (1893–1976) to bring Stanislavsky's System closer to Pavlov's teachings on higher nervous activity. As an introduction to the sphere of Gaidarov's thoughts, a fragment from his post-war notebooks is published, showing the emergence of the idea, which resulted in a series of interdisciplinary seminars at the Pushkin’s Leningrad Drama Theatre. Gaidarov also wrote numerous notes on the psychology of the actor, which are still awaiting their publication. As far as one can judge, this part of V. G. Gaidarov's legacy, partly due to its interdisciplinary nature and difficulties in categorizing the material, has been largely overlooked by researchers so far. However, it is of interest for at least two reasons: in a historical sense, as an attempt to work with the legacy of great teachers who have passed away, dictated by the desire and duty to continue their work, and in a Weltanschauung sense, as a desire to reconcile the latest discoveries of physiology and Stanislavsky's method, and to make both work together for the benefit of art and the audience. One of Gaidarov's constant attitudes in his texts from the 1920s onwards is the idea that an actor should be a well-educated person — a position with which it is difficult to disagree. We have also aimed to show that V. G. Gaidarov's philosophical views correspond to the questions that had arisen at the same epoch in Western philosophy of science.
Travesty, or the Importance of Being Serious. On the Development of the Genre in English Drama
Authors:   Russian Institute of Theatre Arts (GITIS), Khaitchenko Elena G.
Published: September 2024

Travesty is the oldest literary genre, originating in antiquity, based on cross-dressing and cross-casting. Its origins go back to the ancient Greek poem Batrachomyomachy. The article traces the history of theatre travesty in British drama, the first experience of which historians consider to be The Love of the Beautiful Thisbe and Pyramus, a short and long drama, a cheerful tragedy in verse, performed by Nick Bottom’s troupe at the wedding of the Duke of Athens (A Midsummer Night’s Dream W. Shakespeare, 1595), and the first multi-act burlesque was The Knight of the Flaming Pestle by F. Beaumont (1607). Analysis of the Shakespearean burlesques of the 19th century, as well as the works of A. Jarry, E. Ionesco and T. Stoppard allows us to identify the main genre features of travesty: it is played out within the framework of a well-known literary plot, the transformation of which occurs in the sphere of language, compositional structure of the play, affects the images of the characters. In travesty, motifs of rehearsals and various types of theatrical performances are actively used, because it itself is a game with known literary material. Travesty is one of the main genres that reflects the literary-centrism of drama and its self-reflection, as well as the determining nature of the development of the play structure of the plot according to the principle of “the theatre within the theatre”.
Cubists of Gesture: Vadim Shershenevich about Theatre Actors of 1920s
Authors:   Russian State Institute of Performing Arts, Stoeva Nadezhda V.
Published: September 2024

The article is devoted to the theatrical texts of the imagist poet Vadim Shershenevich, when his work in the theatre as a director and playwright was overand the poet focused on theatre reviews, feuilletons, and critical texts. Shershenevich creates four portraits of leading theatre and film actors — Igor Ilyinsky, Anatoly Ktorov, Grigory Yaron and Nikolay Bravin, which reflect the technologies of acting relevant for the second half of the twenties of the 20th cen- tury. Shershenevich was one of the first to articulate the difference between a theatre actor and a film actor, and to postulate new roles that should appear in still silent cinema at that time. He focused on the expressive possibilities of gesture, and foresaw new opportunities for operetta and actors who devoted themselves to this genre. In these brochures, Shershenevich refuses to follow the biographical method of analyzing the creative path of actors, polem- icizing with other brochures in this series, and leaves more opportunities for exploring the actor’s expressive means. He describes changes in gestures, movements, pauses of an actor in a movie, analyzes how the actor’s appearance works to create an image, how it changes with the growth of acting skills, how the category of “funny” has been transformed in the new era, and how actors in drama theatre and operetta expressed it.
Once Upon a Time Ostrovsky and I
Authors:   Russian Institute of Theatre Arts (GITIS), Zaslavskiy Grigoriy A. , Peregudov Egor M. ,   Moscow Academic Theatre named after Vl. Mayakovsky
Published: September 2024

The article, presented in the form of a dialogue, analyzes the unique nature of the directo- rial school of the Russian Institute of Theatre Arts (GITIS), and more broadly, the directorial stylistics of productions of Russian classics. The conversation took place within the framework of the International Scientific Conference A.N. Ostrovsky. Talent and Society and focused on evaluating the interpretative approaches to the plays of the classic writer at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. The details of the rehearsal of Ostrovsky’s play The Forest, presented in November 2023 on the stage of the Moscow Academic Theatre named after Vladimir Mayakovsky, are analyzed. Traditionally, productions of Ostrovsky in this theatre have a programmatic char- acter and manifest stylistic dominants in the work of directors from different decades with the acting ensemble. The continuity of the Mayakovsky Theatre’s 2023 premiere of The Forest in relation to the directorial version by Vs. Meyerhold in 1924 determines the nature of the experiments with the montage principle of organizing dramatic material on stage. The chronotopic unity of Ostrovsky’s plays, embodied in two versions — extended-chronicle and concentrated within a short period — largely determines the breadth of interpretive approaches of the theatre to his legacy. The conciseness of stage directions in Ostrovsky’s plays gives freedom to directorial imagination in creating explication and opens up oppor- tunities for active staging development in the process of creating an original performance. The actualization of the substantive plan of Ostrovsky’s plays in post-Soviet realities has become a form of dialogue with the audience on the themes of individual rights and freedoms in the context of market relations. Ostrovsky’s texts provide an opportunity to understand the universality of social problems, become an ideal space for creative dialogue between the director and actor, stimulate actor’s search, and allow to feel the connection of time in the actuality of the conflicts provided by the playwright.
“A Man of Soviet Orientation” — American Impresario Sidney Ross
Authors:   Saint Petersburg State University, Gudkov Maxim M. ,   Russian State Institute of Performing Arts
Published: September 2024

This study focuses on the activities of the American impresario Sidney Ross, whose work has been little studied in both the USA and Russia. During the interwar period, Ross sym- pathized with the USSR and dedicated himself to organizing overseas tours for leading Soviet directors and theatres, including Vsevolod Meyerhold and his Moscow State Theatre, Constantin Stanislavsky and the Moscow Art Theatre, Alexander Tairov and the Moscow Kamerny Theatre, Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko and Music Studio at the Moscow Art Theatre). For the first time in Russian and American theatre studies, a brief creative biog- raphy of Sidney Ross is presented. The study is based on materials from the collections of both Russian archives (State Archive of the Russian Federation — GARF, State Archive of Literature and Art — RGALI, Moscow Art Theatre Museum) and American archives (Houghton Library at Harvard University, Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University, New York Public Library for the Performing Arts). The documents identified allow for a reevaluation of Sidney Ross’s role in organizing the GosTiM tour in Paris in 1930 before the planned trip to the USA, as well as a reconstruction of the process of organizing this visit to the New World, which ultimately never took place. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the reception of Soviet theatre abroad and clarifies the picture of cultural relations between our country and the United States during the interwar period of the twentieth century.
Boris Tchaikovsky: Youth Quartets. The Experience of Discovering the Unknown Scores
Authors:   Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatory, Abdokov Yuri B.
Published: September 2024

This article is the first to examine the scores for two violins, viola, and cello composed in his youth by one of the greatest Russian composers of the twentieth century, Boris Alexandrovich Tchaikovsky (1925–1996). These ensemble scores, discovered after Tchaikovsky’s death, have never been published or included in reference or encyclo- pedic directories, including the authorized list of works. They are not sketches or drafts of unfinished pieces, but rather complete works written between 1940 and 1945. The Lento (1940) and the Scherzo (1941) have survived as manuscript scores; the single-part Quartet for two violins, viola, and cello (undated) exists in the composer's transcription for piano in four hands; and the Quartet for two violins, viola, and violon- cello in three parts (1943–1945) is preserved in the form of a manuscript score and a complete set of parts. These works are less reminiscent of scholastic exercises and more clearly show the recognizable characteristics of Tchaikovsky’s mature instrumental style: the linear and graphic asceticism of the texture; the embodiment of polytembral and orchestral ideas through a homogeneous chamber ensemble composition; and the vir- tuosity of “timbre optics”, which allows for the transformation of not only the perspective positions of the instrumental lines but also the characteristic timbre focus. Tchaikovsky considered the quartet genre to be one of the most confessional, revealing all the sub- tleties of his tonal mastery. These early ensemble works broaden our understanding of the etymology of his chamber-instrumental thought and, more generally, the origins of his artistic style. This article reflects the research and first posthumous performances of Tchaikovsky’s early quartets, undertaken under the auspices of the Terra Musica International Creative Workshop.
Meyerhold and Mayakovsky — mutual influence in Mystery-Bouffe
Authors:   Università degli studi di Bergamo, Osis Nataliе A.
Published: September 2024

In his numerous commentaries and revisions to Mystery-Bouffe, Vladimir Mayakovsky inserts into his text the possibility of variation, much as if it were the basic scenario (canovaccio) used for improvisation in the commedia dell’arte. Reliable information about how familiar he was with the principles of commedia dell'arte has not been preserved, but it is quite possible that he absorbed some of the vast creative experience that Vsevolod Meyerhold had accumulated in the commedia alla maschera by 1918, when he and Mayakovsky co-directed the first theatrical production of Mystery-Bouffe. According to Konstantin Rudnitsky, Mystery-Bouffe was important in that collaboration be- cause it led Meyerhold to use the “montage of attractions” avant la lettre and, moreover the idea of montage moved from playwriting onto the stage — thus from Mayakovsky to Meyerhold — and only after their collaboration was Meyerhold able to gather notable quantities of “attractions” and to juxtapose them in different ways. This paper explores how Mayakovsky and Meyerhold influenced one another through their collaboration in Mystery- Bouffe, each bringing an element (respectively, techniques from the commedia dell’arte and the montage of attractions) that proved crucial to the further evolution of this drama.
At Us the Europe!: The Principle of Transformation in the Performance by V. E. Meyerhold (On the Centenary of the Premiere)
Authors:   Russian Institute of Theatre Arts (GITIS), Bikkulova Diana R. , Pilgun Vera S. ,   Russian Institute of Theatre Arts (GITIS),   A. A. Bakhrushin State Central Theatre Museum
Published: September 2024

The agitational sketch by Vs.E. Meyerhold At Us the Europe!, which premiered in June 1924, became a vivid example of a political propaganda play based on a rather poor dramaturgy, but firmly made by theatre means of expression. The mobile stage decorations in the form of movable billboards, three projection screens, actors’ transformations (constant changes of the characters played by one actor) and the immediate reaction of the content to both social and political events made this performance a fairly successful project. Meyerhold himself noted that the main task set for the theatre in this performance is the imple- mentation of the principle of transformation. The setting was so complex that every movement of the billboard, actor, projection of the filmstrip, light and music score was recorded by the theatre’s technical services. This research is devoted to the study of this performance based on archival materials (RGALI and SCTM named after A. A. Bakhrushin). It analyzes for the first time the director's version of the play At Us the Europe! written in 1924, the list of episodes and its variability, material elements, music score, the role of screens, and also reveals how the principle of transformation was implemented on stage and how it influ- enced the perception of this performance. At Us the Europe! had several versions — from the original one (staged in 1924) to At Us the Soviet Europe! (in 1930), but the mobility of this structure suggests that constant variability was its predetermined characteristic and therefore it is important to study the features of this factor. In the history of the theatre, At Us the Europe! has become an impressive, masterfully developed form of a large propaganda performance, and its style has become a kind of production standard.

In this paper, we present a solar-powered water purifier based on the principle of reverse osmosis. Solar panels collect radiation, which is stored in a battery. The battery supplies power to the purification unit via an electromagnetic relay. The purification unit includes a high-pressure motor, a reverse osmosis system, and a water tank. The motor generates the pressure needed for reverse osmosis. A microcontroller monitors the water level in the tank to prevent overflow. This method results in purified water stored in the tank. Solar-powered water purification systems are considered a key solution for providing clean water. Solar energy is environmentally friendly and a reliable energy source.

Artemisia absinthium is a wild edible species presence in Iraqi Kurdistan region the local people has used the plants as a part of their traditional medicine and their daily life. Nowadays, these plants become more attractive and interested due to their phytochemicals and antioxidant activities. Therefore,  This study sought to evaluate various phytochemicals of this plant's aerial section generated by micropropagation in-vitro  at tissue culture Laboratory of College of Agricultural Engineering science/University of Duhok, and with identical plants harvested from the field from Gali Ali Bak (invivo), including the difference in total phenolic compound and flavonoid content and antioxidant activity using DPPH test. The results showed that A. absinthium plants were rich with the high concentration of phenolic components in the Invivo plant extract was high (1.65 mg gallic acid equivalents/g of dry extract, eq.100g-1), while it was lowest in the in-vitro plant extract (0.56 mg gallic acid). and (5.2 and 2.9 g of quercetin equivalents/g of dry extract, eq.100g-1 ) for the Invivo and in-vitro plants, respectively, were the determined amounts of flavonoids extracted in the Invivo plant extract compared to the in-vitro plant extract. The anti-oxidative activity was tested by measuring their ability to scavenge stable 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical, the results displayed that  the  different quantities of plant extract of Invivo and in-vitro ranged between (150-300 g/ml) concentrations had radical-scavenging activity as comparative with the positive control (ascorbic acid),however the best value was at 200 g/ml for Invivo(118) as compared with positive control (ascorbic acid) (80.8). Thus, the evidence of this study shown that Artemisia can enhance natural medicines for human being.

The study aimed to assess Milk Thistle oi reducing the aflatoxin damage and improve the health status of local breed hens. The study was performed on 60 hens aged 35 weeks, weighing 2-2.5 kg of the body was obtained and housed on a private poultry farm in north of Baghdad (Altaji) for a period of 9 weeks from 22 October until 22 December 2020. Hens were divided to three treatments (20 hens). The first was fed a basal diet free of aflatoxin. The 2nd fed on a contaminated diet with aflatoxin (14.6 ppb) while the 3rd fed as in the 2nd with 0.5% of Milk Thistle oil /kg feed. A 5 hens from each group were slaughtered at the end of the trial for the histopathological inspection of liver, spleen and intestine tissues to evaluate the harmful effect of aflatoxin and the repairing role of Milk Thistle. In G2 Aflatoxin group there was leg weakness, lameness, abnormal pigmentation (shank, feet), lethargy, and the crop is free from food.  While in the 3rd group, the macro and microscopic examination of the symptoms were less marked and almost invisible. We conclude that silymarin may have a highly effect in repairing the aflatoxin damage to the body tissues of laying hens.

Prezados Editores,
O estudo de Agostini e colaboradores traz os impactos dos cigarros eletrônicos na saúde respiratória. Primeiramente, destacamos a abordagem minuciosa e análise abrangente das evidências disponíveis, visto que a revisão sistemática é um recurso valioso para consolidar o conhecimento existente e orientar futuras pesquisas e políticas públicas (RIBEIRO; ALMEIDA, 2023). Todavia, seria interessante levantar algumas questões que possam contribuir para uma discussão mais aprofundada sobre o tema, tais como, os efeitos do cigarro eletrônico (E-cig) a longo prazo, haja visto que foi citado somente sobre os efeitos a curto prazo (RIBEIRO; ALMEIDA, 2023). Embora o uso de cigarros eletrônicos seja uma prática relativamente recente, com pouco mais de uma década de popularidade crescente, os efeitos a longo prazo ainda estão em fase de investigação, sendo crucial que a análise dos seus riscos seja completa e rigorosa (AGOSTINI et al., 2023; BRASIL, 20022). Logo, compreender os efeitos em um futuro distante e as diferenças em relação aos cigarros tradicionais podem fornecer informações essenciais para a formulação de políticas públicas bem-informadas e para a proteção da saúde pública (RIBEIRO; ALMEIDA, 2023). Diante disso, parabenizo os autores pelo excelente trabalho e pela contribuição significativa para a literatura científica.

Authors: Yeshwanth Vasa
Published: September 2024

Due to the evolving nature of cyber threats, adequate protection of CI environments, a crucial component of the modern DevOps pipeline, remains an essential problem. Quantum cryptography, based on the principles of quantum mechanics, seems to provide a solution to improve the security of data transmissions in these contexts. This paper analyses QKD's suitability for establishing secure communication protocols in CI systems. By illustrating simulation reports and real-life examples, this paper shows how quantum cryptographic approaches can help avoid threats related to traditional encryption algorithms. Leveraging quantum-safe cryptographic solutions to fill the existing security loopholes is a solution to modern cyber threats. However, problems like implementation costs, technological barriers, and performance decline as the number of users increases are other barriers that need to be addressed to see the full potential of quantum cryptography in CI environments. The paper ends with tactical conclusions regarding creating secure CI settings with QE to further examine and implement in cybersecurity.
