Influences of Physical, Environment, Task, Timing, Learning, Emotion, Perspective (PETTLEP) Intervention on Psychological Resilience, Psychological Skills, Anxiety and Depression of Athletes
Authors: Lu Congfei , Xu Jianhua
Published: January 2023

Background: High-intensity competition pressure leads to psychological problems for athletes, which need to be improved through intervention. We aimed to explore the influences of PETTLEP (physical, environment, task, timing, learning, emotion, perspective) intervention on the psychological state of athletes, and provide references for their psychological improvement.
Methods: Overall, 120 basketball players were enrolled through the convenience sampling method from Shaanxi, Yunnan, Fujian, and the national basketball team in China from April to June 2022. PETTLEP-based imagery intervention was given to all athletes, and their psychological resilience, training state, psychological skills, anxiety, and depression before and after the intervention were evaluated using a questionnaire survey.
Results: The psychological resilience value of athletes after the intervention was higher than that before the intervention (P<0.05). The psychological resilience index of athletes who trained for more than three years was higher than that of athletes who trained for less than 3 years (P<0.05). The athletes who trained for over three years felt better after the intervention concerning good feelings, self-efficacy, self-adjustment, and physical fitness recovery than before the intervention (P<0.05). No statistical differences in self-confidence, coordination ability, and motivation were observed among the athletes trained for different years before and after the intervention (P>0.05). The athletes who trained for over three years have shown better results regarding focal attention and cognitive regulation after the intervention than before the intervention (P<0.05).
Conclusion: The PETTLEP-based imagery intervention can improve the athletes’ psychological skills, relieves anxiety and depression, and enhance their psychological resilience.

Authors: Demirci Burak , Coskun Abuzer
Published: January 2023

Background: Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) is a disease with high morbidity and mortality, which is an important health problem in the world. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the effects of plasma fetuin-A (FA) level, which is a new parameter in terms of prognosis and mortality of CCHF.
Methods: A total of 87 patients were included who presented to the Emergency Department, Bağcılar Training and Research Hospital, İstanbul, Turkey with the diagnosis of CCHF from Feb 1, 2019 to Feb 1, 2020. The patients were divided into three groups as tick bite, contact history, and endemic area travel according to the transmission type, and two groups according to the presence of mortality or not. The laboratory data of the patients were compared within these groups. Relationship of hemogram, C-reactive protein (CRP), D-Dimer, sedimentation, lactate, and FA levels between groups were evaluated.
Results: The average age of the patients was 62.52±14.94 years and 27(31%) of them were women. Mortality rates were in 6(6.9%) patients from endemic areas (P=0.015). While the FA level of the mortality group was 171.6±30.0 mg/L, it was 230.3±25.0 mg/L in the survivors (P=0.001). There was a moderate and strong negative correlation of FA level with mortality, tick history, and hospitalization. In ROC curve analysis of mortality and FA levels, parameters were determined as sensitivity 97.4% and specificity 96.2%.
Conclusion: In addition to FA levels, as anticipated by our hypothesis, lactate, CRP, and sedimentation values can be used to predict prognosis and mortality in cases of CCHF.
Arsenic Trioxide Affects the Proliferation of Gastric Cancer Cells through MiR-885-5p/CDC73 Axis
Authors: Guo Xiongbo , Zhu Wenbiao
Published: January 2023

Background: To explore Arsenic trioxide (As2O3) and its regulated miR-885-5p/CDC73 signaling pathway involved in the development of gastric cancer.
Methods: Fifty-two healthy patients and patients with gastric cancer were enrolled 2019-2020 in He Xian Memorial Hospital, Guangzhou, China. The patients with gastric cancer were divided into control group and As2O3 administration group. After 2 courses of treatment, their peripheral blood was collected to analyze the therapeutic effect. miR-885-5p expression in peripheral blood was analyzed by qRT-PCR. As2O3 was added into MGC-803 gastric cancer cell line at 0, 10, 20, 40 and 80 μmol/L. The proliferation rate and 48h IC50 value of gastric cancer cells were investigated by CCK-8, and the effect of As2O3 on miR-885-5p expression in the cells was analyzed.
Results: After 4 weeks of treatment, the objective efficiency of control group and As2O3 administration group was 17.3% and 13.4%, respectively, without significant statistical difference. The overall benefit rate of As2O3 administration group was significantly higher than that of the normal treatment group (P=0.049). qRT-PCR experiment results found that miR-885-5p significantly highly expressed in peripheral blood in the As2O3 administration group, while miR-885-5p in gastric cancer was lower compared with normal people. Adding As2O3 to the gastric cancer cells could significantly inhibit miR-885-5p expression, while miR-885-5p in gastric cancer cells affected cell expression by targeted regulation, affecting cell proliferation.
Conclusion: As2O3 may be used as a drug treatment program for gastric cancer, and mainly regulates the proliferation of gastric cancer cells by affecting the miR-885-5p/CDC73 target axis to participate in the development of gastric cancer.

Authors: Xie Wenli , Shi Xin , Lee Hewang , Wang Lili , Niu Nan , Qu Peng
Published: January 2023

Background: We aimed to determine whether NLRP3 inflammasomes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were associated with carotid plaque instability in carotid atherosclerosis patients.
Methods: Consecutive 38 carotid atherosclerosis with vulnerable plaques, 22 carotid atherosclerosis with stable plaques, and 40 healthy subjects with no carotid or coronary artery stenosis were enrolled. They were referred to the Second Hospital of Dalian Medical University from 2013-2019. Carotid plaques were evaluated by modified plaque vulnerability risk score (MPVRS) and pathological assessment. The mRNA and protein expression of NLRP3 inflammasome components in PBMC were determined by quantitative real time PCR and Western blot analysis or ELISA.
Results: When consecutive study subjects undergoing carotid endarterectomy were divided into stable (≤4) and unstable (>4) plaque groups according to the MPVRS, the unstable plaque group had significantly raised mRNA and protein expression of NLRP3 inflammasome components in PBMC as compared with the stable plaque group and healthy subject group. Furthermore, subjects with higher NLRP3 protein expression in PBMC had greater incidence of cerebrovascular events.
Conclusions: Increased NLRP3 inflammasome components in PBMC is associated with instability of human carotid atherosclerotic plaques, suggesting NLRP3 inflammasome as a potential biomarker for monitoring carotid plaque instability.

Published: January 2023

Background: Intensive Care Unit (ICU) has the highest mortality rate in the world. ICU has special equipment that leads to the hospital's most costly parts. The length of stay in the ICU is a special issue, and reducing this time is a practical approach. We aimed to use artificial intelligence to help early and timely diagnosis of the disease to help with health.
Methods: We designed a rule-based intelligent system to predict the length of stay and the mortality rate of trauma patients in ICU. A neuro-Fuzzy and eight machine learning models were used to predict the mortality rate in trauma patients in ICU. The performances of these techniques were evaluated with accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and area under the ROC curve. Decision-Table was used to predict the length of stay in trauma patients in ICU. For comparison, eight machine learning models were used. The method is compared based on Mean absolute error and relative absolute error (%).
Results: Neuro-Fuzzy expert system and Decision-Table showed better results than other techniques. Accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and ROC Area of Nero-Fuzzy are 83.6735, 0.9744, 0.3000, 0.8379, and 1, respectively. The mean absolute error and Relative absolute error (%) of the Decision-Table model are 4.5426 and 65.4391, respectively.
Conclusion: Neuro-Fuzzy expert system with the highest level of accuracy and a Decision-Table with the lowest Mean absolute error, which are rule-based models, are the best models. Therefore, these models are recommended as a valuable tool for prediction parameters of ICU as well as medical decision-making.

Authors: Rangkooy Hossein Ali , Mokaramian Shahla , Zargar Behrooz
Published: January 2023

Background: The emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in industrial and urban areas has adverse effects on the environment and human health. Toluene, the main pollutant among the VOCs, has wide applications in different industries such as plastics, adhesives, silicone sealant, paint, etc. This study aimed to remove of toluene from the air by using TiO2 nanoparticles supported on the natural zeolite using the photocatalytic process.
Methods: This is an experimental study that was conducted in 2017 in the Chemical Agents Laboratory of the Occupational Health Engineering Department at Jundishapur University in Ahvaz. Toluene vapour decomposition was carried out using UV/ZE, UV/TiO2, and UV/TiO2-ZE under continuous flows conditions. The effects of toluene initial concentration, retention time, and nanocomposite surface weight on toluene vapour decomposition were also investigated.
Results: When UV/TiO2 and UV/TiO2-ZE systems are performed, increasing the initial toluene concentration reduces the efficiency of photocatalytic decomposition. The SEM images of TiO2-ZE catalyst show that zeolite pores were occupied by titanium dioxide nanoparticles. Moreover, the combination of titanium dioxide nanoparticles and zeolite has an incremental effect on toluene decomposition. Increasing retention time raises toluene decomposition, and the increased nanocomposite surface weight raises decomposition to the maximum level (70%) at 33.68 mg/cm2 weight and then decreases.
Conclusion: The increasing toluene decomposition rate by using the TiO2-ZE nanocomposite can be due to the incremental effect of absorption and photocatalytic decomposition.

Determination of Mechanical Characteristics of Nanoscale Particles by Deposition in a Screen-Type Diffusion Battery
Authors: Skaptsov A.S.
Published: January 2023

The method for determining the mechanical and adhesion characteristics of the particle-surface system based on a comparison of the results of particle size measurements by two independent methods – by the electric mobility of particles and by the diffusion method - was proposed and experimentally tested. In the first case, the particle size was established by an Electrostatic classifier of particle (model TSI EC 3071A), and in the second case, it was measured by a screen type diffusion battery (DB) (model TSI 3041). Iodobenzene, molybdenum oxide, and tungsten oxide aerosols with particle sizes ranging from 3.05 nm to 15.4 nm in diameter were used in the experiments. Experimental data on aerosol penetration through DB were used to calculate the average value of adhesion efficiency and thermal rebound parameters of particles. The adhesion characteristics of the particle-surface system: the Gamaker constant А and specific adhesion energy sP,S were determined by using the models of particle adhesion to a flat surface.
Determination of -potential of nanofluids based on electrolyte solutions from the measurements by the methods of electrical spectroscopy and laser correlation spectroscopy
Authors: Balika S.D.
Published: January 2023

The work discusses the problem of measurement of the -potential for electrolyte-based suspensions of nanoparticle. A theory is presented for the effect of the diffuse electric double layer, including the interphase (stagnant) layer, on the effective conductivity of such suspensions. The theory is based on the method of compact groups of inhomogeneities applied to a model system of hard-core–penetrable-shell particles embedded together with the base liquid in a uniform host of the conductivity . The cores represent the particles. The shells are electrically inhomogeneous in the radial direction, their conductivity profile being a continuous function σ2(r). The overlapping components obey the rule of dominance, according to which the local conductivity value is determined by the distance from the point to the center of to the nearest particle. This model is possible to analyze rigorously in the static limit. The desired conductivity is found from the integral relation which allows us to express the electrical conductivity in the terms of the -potential, thickness of the stagnant layer, matrix molarity, etc. The theory reveals the existence of different scenarios of behavior of the conductivity depending on the geometrical and electrical parameters of the stagnant layer. It is shown that the functional dependence between the thickness and -potential can be obtained from the rate of change of the conductivity with concentration for diluted suspensions; this rate can be measured experimentally.  It is pointed out that the hydrodynamic radius of a nanoparticle can be obtained from the Smoluchowski-Einstein diffusion coefficient, which can be measured by the method of laser correlation spectroscopy. We give all necessary estimates and relations to demonstrate the opportunity of measuring the -potential by analyzing together the results obtained by the indicated methods. Namely, in order to find the-potential, it is necessary to simultaneously do a series of independent measurements: find the slope of the conductivity and estimate the thickness of the stagnant layer.

Authors: Tselen B. Ya. , Ivanitsky G.K. , Radchenko N.L. , Gozhenko L.P.
Published: January 2023

The paper presents the results of an analytical study of the vapor-gas bubble dynamics in cavitation processes, giving consideration to the liquid compressibility. The study is based on the concept that cavitation effects are directly related to the occurrence of hydraulic shock on the surface of an extremely compressed bubble. The purpose of this work is to study cavitation bubble dynamics accounting for the spherical water hammer effects. An equation for the bubble dynamics was obtained, which includes the coefficient of liquid adiabatic compressibility  as a basic parameter that is directly related to the liquid compressibility. For  this equation reduces to the classical Rayleigh-Plesset equation for incompressible liquids. The results of a computational experiment performed within the framework of the modified model are presented for which the behavior of a cavitation bubble both in compressible and in incompressible water was analyzed. Based on a detailed analysis of the results obtained, it is shown that over time .the compressed bubble is in the state of a supercritical fluid with temperature up to 2000 K and pressure of about 400 MPa. The potential energy of the compressed liquid, in the form of a powerful acoustic pulse, emitted by the bubble at the stage of its collapse, is irreversibly dissipated in the surrounding liquid.

Authors: GRIGORIAN Anna I.
Published: January 2023

The relevance of this article is determined by the constantly growing interest that researchers take in the study of cognitive linguistics and psycholinguistics of how and why people decide to keep or, conversely, reveal secrets. The purpose of our study is to describe the verbalization of the concept secret in modern English literary fictional discourse. The communicative acts of hiding or revealing secrets in personages’ speech have been chosen as the object of our investigation. The subject of the research comprises the semantic means used by the communicators to tell his/her secret, or to conceal it. As a result of our research, we have offered a definition of the concept secret as a piece of information, kept from the knowledge of others or shared only confidentially with a few. The analysis of the reasons for keeping secrets has been helpful to identify possible circumstances that lead to secretiveness. Moreover, two types of secrets have been differentiated: one’s own secret that is face-threatening for the speaker and secret concerning a third person that can serve as a source for blackmailing. These types of secrets have been traced and analyzed in fictional discourse with the help of author's remarks, and inner speech of the personages. In the course of the analysis, a number of adjectives and intensifying adverbs that are used along with the word secret in personages’ speech have been singled out.

Published: January 2023

The aim of the study is to establish communicative and pragmatic features of gossips. The object of the study is the phatic communication of the characters in English fictional discourse. The scope of the article is establishing communicative and pragmatic features of gossip in the personages’ communication in English fictional discourse. The material for the research includes entries from English dictionaries and dialogic fragments involving gossip spreading in English fictional discourse. The special linguistic methods used in the study include the definition analysis applied to the entries of the respective nominative units; component analysis made it possible to identify a set of semes, which together with the use of contextual-interpretive method material made it possible to establish communicative and pragmatic features of gossips. The results show that the problem was the identification of a set of semes, characteristic of the term "gossip", as well as the analysis of verbalization of gossip in personages’ speech. The analysis of the definitions of the lexeme “gossip” in English-language dictionaries made it possible to distinguish in its meaning certain semantic components verbalized in dictionary articles. The communicative factors that cause gossiping and the pragmatic functions that gossips perform in social interaction have been determined in the characters’ interaction in English fictional discourse.

Authors: DEDE Yuliia V.
Published: January 2023

The aim of the study is a contextual and interpretive analysis of mitigation strategies of request and promise which are followed up in the personage speech in English fictional discourse. The subject of the article is establishing of the speech means that implement the mitigation strategies (namely, mitigation of promise and mitigation of request), taking into account the aspect of communication situation on the samples from English fictional discourse. The findings of the research illustrate how the outlined strategies (mitigation of promise and mitigation of request) are manifested in English fictional discourse. The results show that the strategy of request is mostly realized by the tactics of categoricalness reduction. The tactics of categoricalness reduction is determined by the speaker’s desire to make interlocutor perform / not perform a certain action. The mitigation strategy of promise is realized by the apology tactics and the tactics of categoricalness reduction which allow the speaker to restore harmony with the listener.

Published: January 2023

The present article reports on the study of the communicative strategy of self-presentation and the communicative tactics that manifest it in detective discourse. The analysis is based on the data from English detective novels. The object of the study is the characters’ speech: the detective’s interrogation of witnesses and suspects. The scope of the study is the communicative tactics of self-presentation as the means of influencing the suspect in order to obtain the necessary information to solve the crime. The purpose is cognitive and pragmatic analysis of the communicative tactics applied by the detectives to obtain the necessary information to solve a crime. The investigation is based on the general and special linguistic methods : synthesis and analysis, method of observation, descriptive method, pragmatic and linguistic method, analysis of contextual interpretation. The main results of the study. The cognitive and pragmatic analysis of the detective’s strategic plan has resulted in our own classification of communicative tactics and strategies applied by the detective during the interrogation of witnesses and suspects. It has been established that one of the major communicative strategies used by the detective is self-presentation. Self-presentation is realized by the following communicative tactics: tactics of distancing, solidarity, belonging to a certain group. Each of these tactics is manifested by certain lexical, morphological and syntactic means of the English language. The perspective for further research is seen in the comprehensive study of the linguistic mechanisms of manipulative impact on the recipient in fiction.

Authors: Hromko Tetiana
Published: January 2023

Summary. The purpose of the proposed article is the theoretical justification of the variation of linguistic units as idiomems based on the linguistic data of the idiom, as well as the basis of their representation in the dictionary of variant vocabulary of the language system as a separate aspect summary of the monoidiomic linguistic complex. The object of study is the problem of the identity and variation of the word in the lingual of the idiom as a language and speech system. The subject of the research are the theoretical and functional principles of lexicography of the variants of idiomic units and the phenomenon of formal variation of the lingual of the idiom. The result of the study is, on the one hand, the definition of the problem of word identity and word variation in linguistics, in which the insufficiency of research on the theory of word variation in Ukrainian dialectological science is stated, which is explained by the incompleteness or absence of an empirical base, the lack of mastery of the available factual material, insufficient attention to the methods of studying formal modifications words, weak illumination of source-scientific and methodological issues. The relevance of the issue is determined by a number of theoretical propositions: 1) variability, being an immanent property of any variety of speech, is widely represented in dialect speech; 2) the formal variation of the word ensures the continuity of the idiom as a language system; 3) the idiomic lexicon, the lingual of the idiom constitute an informational and research lexicographic system of the idiom – a thesaurus. A generalized review of the theoretical foundations of the dialectological lexicography of the variant lexicon of the colloquial language made it possible to come to a conclusion about the specificity of the colloquialism presentation in it. On the other hand, the results of the study represent the Dictionary of variant vocabulary of the idiom as an aspect that is a part of the monidiomic lexicographic complex, having unified rules for the demonstration of linguistic units in it and at the same time differing in its structural and nomenclature parameters of displaying lexical-semantic variations of linguistic and speech units, is the first attempt systematic presentation of this type of grouping of the components of spoken discourse, which unites the literary and dialectal strata. Conclusions: The dictionary of the variant lexicon of the idiom is considered as a representative of the complexity, diversity of the phenomenon of formal variation of the dialect word, as well as the demonstration of a number of formal-semantic connections in the vocabulary of the lingual for further monoidiomic description, focused on the monographic description of the idiom.

Etnografía de las conferencias de prensa de Andrés Manuel López Obrador y análisis de su lista de reproducción en YouTube (2018-2022)
Authors: Salgado Andrade Eva
Published: January 2023

Las conferencias de prensa matutinas de Andrés Manuel López Obrador son una inusitada estrate- gia de comunicación política en México y el mundo, por medio de la cual el Presidente interactúa con los medios, otros actores políticos y la ciudadanía. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar las ca- racterísticas de Las mañaneras (como popularmente se les conoce) y reflexionar sobre las estrategias desplegadas por la Presidencia con ellas para influir en la agenda pública. En primer lugar, a partir del modelo de Dell Hymes, se presenta una etnografía general de este acto comunicativo, realizada a partir de monitoreos entre diciembre de 2018 y abril de 2022; en segundo lugar, se analizan los niveles sintáctico, semántico y pragmático de un corpus multimodal conformado por las entradas (imágenes en miniatura y títulos) de los videos de 848 conferencias alojadas en Youtube. Los re- sultados muestran la evolución de La mañanera como género discursivo, así como la importancia que, para la actual administración, ha tenido la pandemia por Covid, la inseguridad, la migración, la reactivación de PEMEX, el desarrollo de infraestructura, la relación con EUA y el combate a la corrupción. No obstante, diversos elementos semióticos y discursivos de la página de Youtube centran la atención en la figura de AMLO y refuerzan el presidencialismo que caracteriza al sistema político mexicano.
Un análisis entre la agenda geopolítica colombiana y sus impactos en la configuración interna
Authors: Gómez Morales Daniel Leonardo
Published: January 2023

En el presente artículo se compila parte de la agenda geopolítica colombiana y la repercusión territorial que han tenido las visiones políticas “tradicionales” con una baja o nula visión geoestratégica. Las repercusiones territoriales han sido tanto físico-geográficas como socio- poblacionales, y se reflejan en la situación actual de Colombia, marcada por la informalidad, la ilegalidad y la violencia. Así la posición que tiene Colombia en el mundo se enmarca por una subordinación hacia las grandes potencias y la política exterior se da en función de dicha subordinación. El artículo se estructura en dos partes principales. En un primer momento se muestran de manera general cuales fueron las posiciones geopolíticas de los dos siglos que constituyen la mayor parte de la historia del país y como han repercutido dentro del territorio nacional. En un segundo momento se expone el contexto actual y la hoja de ruta o agenda que sigue Colombia para el último periodo presidencial (2018-2022), y se entrama el análisis de los posibles efectos y repercusiones de dicha agenda para el futuro inmediato. Y finalmente se recapitula todo lo desarrollado de manera clara y sintética dentro de las conclusiones.

Published: January 2023

El desarrollo tecnológico, al permitirle a la persona la transmisión de contenido audiovisual, generó en las sociedades actuales una nueva forma de intimidad sexual. Como todo acto sexual es susceptible de ser violentado, es como nace la conducta de compartir sin autorización estas imágenes y videos sexuales por medio de las redes sociales. El principal problema es que en Colombia las víctimas no cuentan con un instrumento efectivo para que sus victimarios respondan ante la justicia, es así como esta investigación buscó legislaciones que hayan enfrentado esta problemática, para ver como lidiaron con la misma. En el presente artículo se hará un estudio de cómo los estados de la república mexicana han tipificado y construido el delito de la difusión de material audiovisual con contenido sexual sin consentimiento extrayendo, así como determinando el bien jurídico tutelado, los verbos rectores y los ingredientes, como también las agravantes y penas.

Authors: Goldenberg Marni , Schwab Keri , Bilhorn Terra , Murray June
Published: January 2023

The Pacific Crest Trail is a National Scenic Trail that runs from Mexico to Canada. Use of the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) has increased in the past 20 years. It is important to understand how an increase in use can impact the environment and sustainable practices, land management practices, and the hiker experience. Participants included 15 land managers in California and 25 thru-hikers who completed the PCT. In-depth interviews were conducted, and participants were asked questions about hiker interactions, trail angels, land manager interactions, and the permitting process. Data were transcribed verbatim and coded by three independent coders to reach a 90% inter-rater reliability. Emerging themes included: human impacts, permitting and education, and rule enforcement. Hikers also talked about the benefits of in-person education and the need for consistent communication between thru-hikers and land managers. Recommendations for sustainable practices include improvements to the permitting system, education, enforcement, and communication.
Prevalence of wormian bones worldwide: a critical review
Authors: Bisiecka Agata , Romero-Reverón Rafael
Published: January 2023

Wormian bones (WB) are the irregular bone structures developed from additional centers of ossification. Although they are commonly found in healthy individuals, under certain conditions (number >10, mosaic pattern, large size), they can indicate pathology. While their coexistence with numerous diseases is well-documented, and various studies have reported their prevalence in populations of various geographic regions, no qualitative critical review of such studies has been conducted. The aim of this paper is to perform a critical review of research studies on the presence of Wormian bones in populations worldwide, with a particular emphasis on the methodology used and the selection of the samples studied.
A sample of 44 original research articles was selected via PubMed and Google Scholar databases. Four criteria were assessed: 1) number of individuals in each group, 2) known sex of individuals, 3) selection criteria of individuals, and 4) implementation of the statistical analysis. The origin of the research sample was determined as well as the method of the WB calculation, and data on the WB prevalence worldwide was collected in tabular form.
The reported size of the research samples varies from 22 to 628 individuals, derived from both contemporary and archaeological populations. Four major formulas were used in order to provide the frequency of WB. The sex of individuals was known in 18 (40.9%) articles. Most of the articles focused on Asian samples.
The difficulties in comparing data on the Wormian bones are caused by considerable inconsistency in the methodology used to research this phenomenon. Therefore, the interpopulation comparisons currently made may not be correctly estimated. Our study highlights the need for using more comprehensive and consistent data collection as well as processing protocol suitable for populational research on sutural bones.
Subverting the Gaze, Seducing with the Bible: A Study of Oscar Wilde's Salomé
Authors: Dąbrowska Justyna
Published: January 2023

The present article engages with the eponymous character of Oscar Wilde’s “Salomé” and focuses on her subversion of the patriarchal rules, and on her attempts at seducing the prophet Jokanaan. Wilde’s “Salomé” becomes “an erotic symbol of daring, transgression, and perversity” (Sloan 112). She wants to look at Jokanaan, as well as to be touched by him and openly states her great desire for him, using the imagery taken from the biblical “Song of Songs” to express her passion. Moreover, the Princess skillfully adopts and reverses the male gaze to manipulate others and go beyond the patriarchal constraints at Herod’s court. She becomes aware that the only way to reach her goals is to look actively and evade being a mere object of the male gaze. The article shows that the imagery employed in the eponymous character’s speeches contributes to her portrayal as a seductress, also accentuating her rebellion, and analyzes how the Princess transgresses the patriarchal constraints through appropriating the male gaze.
The Comic Image of the Courtly Love Ideals in Le Morte D’Arthur by Sir Thomas Malory
Authors: Mrówka Aleksandra
Published: January 2023

The Arthurian legends have fascinated and inspired people for ages. Le Morte D’Arthur by Sir Thomas Malory is one of the best compilations of the stories about King Arthur and his peers. This romance deals with the enchanting world of knightly rituals and the ideals of the chivalric code. It is not a typical romance blindly glorifying the medieval world, though. Written in the time when these ideals are passing, the prose is dominated on the one hand, by melancholy and sentiment, but on the other, by irony and ambiguity. Malory seems to question the chivalric code through inconsistencies of his characters’ behaviour, and absurdity of some situations they are involved in. The paper will focus on the ambivalent and comic picture of the courtly love ideals in Malory’s prose. The main source of failure of some of the Arthurian knights in this aspect of knightly life is the clash between the real chivalric practice and the imagined ideals they pursue.

Imagery are created signs which are representing things that were shown. As Lepert (2009) â€œThe imagery are not mined like ore; they are constructed for the purpose of performing some function within a given sociocultural matrix. As Berger (2010) â€œAn imagery is a sight which has been recreated or reproducedâ€.Advertising imagery are produced to sell and to increase sales as providing to desire of objects. Such that imagery plays as an important role that determine of status. Buying a specific product means, gaing a specific status. As Leppert (2009), â€œImagery urges what sort of bodies to have and to desire or to build (even the seeming natural â€œgivenâ€ of our fleshly frames is terrain for future construction); it influences our sense of self, our belief systems, our individuality, and our status as social beings; it encourages what clothes to wear or car to drive, which political party to vote for, and so forthâ€. Meanwhile imagery have power to make changes in the value of a brand. Imagery (commercials, advertising, logos, photographs, showcases, etc.) has an effect in the value of brands.

Factors affecting the success of the election economy in developed and developing countries (Some examples about Turkey)
Authors: Hepaksaz Engin
Published: January 2023

Despite the risk of deterioration of the balance of budget and economy during election periods, the parties can go to election economy applications in order to remain in power depending on competition between themselves. Especially the incumbent uses fiscal policies for reelection purposes. Here the incumbent intends to secure reelection by maximizing his expected vote share at the next election and follow expansionary policies just before the elections and reverse the trend after the elections in order to smooth the negative effects of pre-election budget deficit. All these applications may cause deterioration of budget balances, budget deficit and economic instability leading to an increase in debt with a significant increase of public spending relative to tax revenues. But in terms of election economy not only the public policies but also the other factors (level of development, institutional quality and media access, level of democracy, political and economic crisis, constitutional rules, transparency etc.) play a key role which focus on the idea of heterogeneity across countries. In this study, factors affecting the success of the election economy in developed and developing countries are evaluated and some examples are given about Turkeyâ€™s 30-year period of elections from 1983 to 2015.Keywords: election economy, ruling party, budget deficit, turkey
