Authors: Rai Sachin , Chaurasiya Navin , Yadawa Pramod K.
Published: November 2021

Consequent to the interaction potential model, the high-order elastic constants at high entropy alloys in single-phase quaternary ScTiZrHf have been calculated at different temperatures. Elastic constants of second order (SOECs) helps to determine other ultrasonic parameters. With the help of SOECs other elastic moduli, bulk modulus, shear modulus, Young’s modulus, Pugh’s ratio, elastic stiffness constants and Poisson’s ratio are estimated at room temperature for elastic and mechanical characterization. The other ultrasonic parameters are calculated at room temperature for elastic and mechanical characterization. The temperature variation of ultrasonic velocities along the crystal's z-axis is evaluated using SOECs. The temperature variation of the  average debye velocity and the thermal relaxation time (τ) are also estimated along this orientation axis. The ultrasonic properties correlated with elastic, thermal and mechanical properties which is temperature dependent is also discussed. The ultrasonic attenuation due to phonon – phonon (p-p) interactions is also calculated at different temperatures. In the study of ultrasonic attenuation such as a function of temperature, thermal conductivity appears to be main contributor and p- p interactions are the responsible reason of attenuation and found that the mechanical properties of the high entropy alloy ScTiZrHf are superior at room temperature.

Published: November 2021

Housing is one of the basic needs of every person. Most people usually encounter the problems of the availability of financial resources and real construction costs. The objective of this paper is to present customer preferences for the construction of family houses in Slovakia with the assessment of possible perception disproportions regarding economic characteristics in the context of interest and reality. A specific part of this paper includes the presentation of interest in the construction of wood-based houses. The questionnaire survey show that, in the target group (respondents aged 26 to 50 years), significant dependencies were found between the monitored traits and the amount of planned investment. For each dependence, possible disproportions were also revealed, which could lead to an overall threat of the plans for the construction of a family house. The disproportions, which were associated with 25 to 30% of respondents, depended on the amount of investment and net household income as well the outlay and usable floor area. This is an original survey in the field, the benefit of which should be its use for a comparison of similar research.

Published: November 2021

The suitabilities of major agricultural residues were assessed as papermaking feedstocks. All the examined agricultural residues were assumed as potential candidates for substituting hardwood fibers in mixed pulp blends from a fiber morphological perspective. Wheat, barley, rice, rapeseed, maize, sunflower, sugarcane bagasse, coconut husk, and two genotypes of miscanthus grass underwent identical maceration. The fiber length, fiber width, cell wall thickness, and lumen diameter were measured to calculate the slenderness ratio, flexibility coefficient, and Runkel ratio. The average fiber length ranged from 0.50 mm ± 0.32 mm (MG-S-02-V) to 1.15 mm mm ± 0.58 mm (sugarcane bagasse). The fiber width ranged from 10.77 μm ± 3.28 μm (rice straw) to 22.99 mm ± 5.20 mm (sunflower stalk). The lumen diameter ranged from 4.52 μm ± 2.52 μm (rice straw) to 13.23 μm ± 4.87 μm (sunflower stalk). The cell wall thickness ranged from 3.02 μm ± 0.95 μm (rice straw) to 4.80 μm ± 1.48 μm (sunflower stalk). The slenderness ratio, flexibility coefficient, and Runkel ratio values ranged between 28.08 to 58.11, 37.97 to 60.8, and 0.62 to 1.68, respectively. Wheat, maize, rapeseed, sugarcane bagasse, and coconut husk were found to be appropriate residue sources for papermaking feedstocks.

Psychedelic treatment for co-occurring alcohol misuse and post-traumatic stress symptoms among United States Special Operations Forces Veterans
Authors: Mangini Pratheek , Averill Lynnette A. , Davis Alan K.
Published: November 2021

Background&aims

Special Operations Forces Veterans (SOFV) have unique treatment needs stemming from multiple repeated forms of combat exposure resulting in a complex sequela of problems including alcohol misuse and post-traumatic stress symptoms. Current approved pharmacologic treatments for alcohol misuse and PTSD are lacking in adherence and efficacy, warranting novel treatment development. The current study examined the correlations between psychedelic treatment and changes in alcohol misuse among trauma exposed United States SOFV.

Method

An anonymous internet-based survey was conducted among SOFV who completed a specific psychedelic clinical program in Mexico. Retrospective questions probed alcohol use and post-traumatic stress symptoms during the 30-days before and 30-days after the psychedelic treatment. A total of 65 SOFV completed treatment and were eligible for contact. Of these, 51 (78%) completed the survey, and 27 (42%) reported alcohol misuse (≥4 on the AUDIT-C) in the 30 days prior to treatment and were included in analyses (Mean Age = 40; male = 96%; Caucasian/White = 96%).

Results

There were significant and very large reductions in retrospective reports of alcohol use (P< 0.001;d= –2.4) and post-traumatic stress symptoms (P< 0.001;d= –2.8) and a significant and large increase in psychological flexibility (P< 0.001;d= –1.8), from before-to-after the psychedelic treatment. In the 30 days after treatment, 85% reduced their alcohol consumption to non-risky levels (33% abstinent; 52% non-risky drinking). Increases in psychological flexibility were strongly associated with reductions in alcohol use and post-traumatic stress symptoms (rs range 0.38–0.90; ps < 0.05).

Conclusion

Rigorous longitudinal studies should be conducted to determine whether psychedelic-assisted therapy holds promise as an intervention in this population.
Creative collaboration in the cloud
Authors: Hill Barry
Published: November 2021

This article details online education design at an Australian university undergraduate music program. The author reviews the rapid development of online learning activities relating to music performance in response to the COVID-19 pandemic enforced lockdown. The lockdown imposed serious challenges for music educators, the overarching one being how to engage students via a screen rather than in a rehearsal room. As the unit designer/assessor, the author utilized specific cloud-based audio software networking tools that are accessible to students (Audiomovers, Splice Studio) to devise learning activities that encouraged creative interactive learning. The author details the advantages and disadvantages of each learning activity. As a substitute for face-to-face interaction, online learning has substantial limitations in relation to music education. Student engagement with accessible online audio tools can enhance skills and knowledge development and interactive learning, thus maximizing student satisfaction and collaborative learning outcomes.

Authors: Ducci Renata Dal-Prá , Tessaro Camila Lorenzini , Kay Cláudia Suemi Kamoi , Fustes Otto Jesus Hernandez , Werneck Lineu Cesar , Lorenzoni Paulo José , Scola Rosana Herminia
Published: November 2021

ABSTRACT Background: Polyneuropathies are characterized by a symmetrical impairment of the peripheral nervous system, resulting in sensory, motor and/or autonomic deficits. Due to the heterogeneity of causes, an etiological diagnosis for polyneuropathy is challenging. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the main causes of polyneuropathy confirmed by electrodiagnostic (EDX) tests in a tertiary service and its neurophysiological aspects. Methods: This observational cross-sectional study from a neuromuscular disorders center included individuals whose electrodiagnostic tests performed between 2008 and 2017 confirmed a diagnosis of polyneuropathy. Through analysis of medical records, polyneuropathies were classified according to etiology and neurophysiological aspect. Results: Of the 380 included patients, 59.5% were male, with a median age of 43 years. The main etiologies were: inflammatory (23.7%), hereditary (18.9%), idiopathic (13.7%), multifactorial (11.1%), and diabetes (10.8%). The main electrophysiological patterns were axonal sensorimotor polyneuropathy (36.1%) and “demyelinating and axonal” sensorimotor polyneuropathy (27.9%). Axonal patterns showed greater etiological heterogeneity, with a predominance of idiopathic and multifactorial polyneuropathy, while demyelinating and “demyelinating and axonal” polyneuropathies had a significantly fewer etiologies, with a predominance of hereditary and inflammatory polyneuropathies. Conclusion: The main causes of polyneuropathy confirmed by EDX test in this study were those that presented a severe, atypical and/or rapidly progressing pattern. Other causes were hereditary and those that defy clinical reasoning, such as multiple risk factors; some polyneuropathies did not have a specific etiology. EDX tests are useful for etiological diagnosis of rare polyneuropathies, because neurophysiological patterns are correlated with specific etiologies.

Published: November 2021

ABSTRACT The physiological seed quality can be altered by nutritional management of the soybean crop, especially by the fertilization with nitrogen (N), which is a structural component of several organic compounds, including proteins, and has an important catalytic role in the activation of several enzymes. The aim of this research was to investigate the effects of sources and application rates of mineral N fertilizer associated with inoculation of Bradyrhizobium spp. on physiological quality of soybean seeds. The treatments were arranged in a completely randomized block design, in a 3 × 5 factorial arrangement [three N fertilizer sources (Bradyrhizobium spp. inoculation; Bradyrhizobium spp. inoculation + urea application; and, Bradyrhizobium spp. inoculation + ammonium sulfate application) and five N application rates (0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 kg N ha-1)], with four replicates. Nitrogen fertilizer was applied in topdressing at R2 stage when soybean plants were in full flowering. The quality parameters evaluated in soybean seeds were: 1,000-seed mass, seed protein content, germination, first germination count test, seedling emergence, emergence speed index, accelerated aging, electrical conductivity, vigor and viability of seeds by tetrazolium test. The application of 50 kg N ha-1 of mineral fertilizer (ammonium sulfate or urea) associated with the Bradyrhizobium spp. inoculation enhanced the physiological quality of soybean seeds, resulting in higher seed germination percentage and higher emergence and seedling emergence speed index. The application of ammonium sulfate or urea (50 kg N ha-1) at full flowering of soybean plants inoculated with Bradyrhizobium spp. can improve the physiological quality of soybean seeds.

Published: November 2021

Objective: to identify possible associations between a higher probability of falls among hemodialysis patients and laboratory values, comorbidities, pharmacological treatment, hemodynamic changes, dialysis results and stabilometric alterations. Method: this was a retrospective case-control study with hemodialysis patients. Patients in a hemodialysis unit who had suffered one or more falls were included in the case group. Patients from the same unit who had not suffered falls were the controls. Data were gathered from the patients’ clinical history and also from the results of a balance test conducted six months before the study. Results: thirty-one patients were included (10 cases and 21 controls). Intradialytic body weight change was significantly greater among cases (p <0.05). Patients in the case group also presented greater lateral instability after dialysis (p <0.05). Other factors such as high blood pressure, antihypertensives, beta-blockers, and lower heart rates were also associated with falls. Conclusion: a greater intradialytic weight change was associated with an increase in risk of falls. Nursing staff can control these factors to prevent the incidence of falls in dialysis patients.

Published: November 2021

Objective: to analyze social representations from the perspective of the structural aspect about the nurses’ approach to children and adolescents who are victims of violence, comparing primary, secondary and tertiary health care services. Method: an analytical research study with a qualitative approach under the methodological theoretical framework of the Theory of Social Representations from the Central Core Theory. A total of 76 nurses participated in the study: 30 from primary care, 16 from secondary care and 30 from tertiary care. A semi-structured interview was applied using a pre-defined script and similarity analysis using the Interface of R pour les Analyses Multidimensionnelles de Textes et de Questionnaires software. Results: structurally, the maximum tree revealed the central core in the upper right quadrant, the first peripheral zone in the upper left quadrant; the second peripheral zone in the lower left quadrant; and the silent zone in the lower right quadrant. The ten branches of the maximum tree emerged from the following terms: hit, leave, approach (n), receive, approach (v), remember, tell, spend, pass, caution, mom. Conclusion: the social representations on the nurses’ approach in primary, secondary and tertiary care health services evidenced common points as for the lack of notification, transfer of responsibilities, weakness in identifying situations of violence and the need for training.
Hematological and renoprotective effects of folic acid and lentil extract in diclofenac sodium exposed rats
Authors: Abdel-Rahman Omnia N. , Abdel-Baky Enas S.
Published: November 2021

Abstract Excessive intake of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as, diclofenac sodium (DS) may lead to toxicity in the rats. In this work, we aimed to examine the protective impact of lentil extract (LE) and folic acid (FA) on the hematological markers, the kidney tissue oxidative stress and the renal function against diclofenac sodium (DS) in male albino rats. The rats (120-150 g) were divided into four equal groups randomly, the first group kept as the untreated control. The second group was administrated with DS (11.6 mg/kg b.wt. orally once/day). The third group was received DS+FA (11.6 mg/kg b.wt.+76.9 microgram/kg b.wt.) orally once/day. The fourth group was treated with DS+LE (11.6 mg/kg b.wt.+500 mg/kg b.wt.) orally once/day. After four weeks, the results revealed that DS produced a significant decrease in the values of red blood cells (RBCs), hemoglobin concentration (Hb), hematocrit (HCT) and white blood cells (WBCs). On the other hand, there was a significant increase in the platelets count. Also, DS induced a renal deterioration; this was evidenced by the significant increase in the serum levels of urea, creatinine, uric acid, Na, Ca, Mg as well as the nitric oxide (NO) level in the kidney tissue. Also, there were a significant reduction in the serum levels of potassium (K) and reduced glutathione (GSH) in the kidney homogenates. Moreover, the findings in the rats treated by DS+LE or DS+FA showed a potential protection on the hematological markers, oxidative stress in the kidney tissue and the renal function disturbed by DS. LE and FA could play a potent role for the prevention the adverse hematological, the kidney tissue oxidative stress and the renal dysfunction caused by DS via their anti-oxidative and bioactive phytochemicals.

Xanthine Oxidoreductase Inhibitors Suppress the Onset of Exercise-Induced AKI in High HPRT Activity Urat1-Uox Double Knockout Mice
Authors: Hosoya Takuji , Uchida Shunya , Shibata Shigeru , Tomioka Naoko H. , Matsumoto Koji , Hosoyamada Makoto
Published: November 2021

Significance Statement

Hereditary renal hypouricemia type 1 (RHUC1) is caused by URAT1/SLC22A12 dysfunction, resulting in urolithiasis and exercise-induced AKI (EIAKI). However, the precise pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying EIAKI have yet to be elucidated. We investigated the cause of EIAKI and the therapeutic effect of xanthine oxidoreductase inhibitors by establishment of a high HPRT activity Urat1-Uox double knockout mouse. The onset of EIAKI associated with RHUC1 was related to increased excessive urinary urate excretion brought on by exercise, and inflammatory signals via NLRP3 inflammasome activation in the kidney. We showed xanthine oxidoreductase inhibitors (topiroxostat and allopurinol) to be effective for the treatment of EIAKI with RHUC1 in this mouse model.

Background

Hereditary renal hypouricemia type 1 (RHUC1) is caused by URAT1/SLC22A12 dysfunction, resulting in urolithiasis and exercise-induced AKI (EIAKI). However, because there is no useful experimental RHUC1 animal model, the precise pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying EIAKI have yet to be elucidated. We established a high HPRT activity Urat1-Uox double knockout (DKO) mouse as a novel RHUC1 animal model for investigating the cause of EIAKI and the potential therapeutic effect of xanthine oxidoreductase inhibitors (XOIs).

Methods

The novel Urat1-Uox DKO mice were used in a forced swimming test as loading exercise to explore the onset mechanism of EIAKI and evaluate related purine metabolism and renal injury parameters.

Results

Urat1-Uox DKO mice had uricosuric effects and elevated levels of plasma creatinine and BUN as renal injury markers, and decreased creatinine clearance observed in a forced swimming test. In addition, Urat1-Uox DKO mice had increased NLRP3 inflammasome activity and downregulated levels of Na+-K+-ATPase protein in the kidney, as Western blot analysis showed. Finally, we demonstrated that topiroxostat and allopurinol, XOIs, improved renal injury and functional parameters of EIAKI.

Conclusions

Urat1-Uox DKO mice are a useful experimental animal model for human RHUC1. The pathogenic mechanism of EIAKI was found to be due to increased levels of IL-1β via NLRP3 inflammasome signaling and Na+-K+-ATPase dysfunction associated with excessive urinary urate excretion. In addition, XOIs appear to be a promising therapeutic agent for the treatment of EIAKI.
The Geographies of Poverty: Modernist Photo Texts in the Age of Social Media
Authors: Harris Donal
Published: November 2021

When recent artists have documented the effects of the Great Recession on contemporary life, they have repeatedly turned to the genre of the ‘modernist photo text’ for aesthetic and ethical inspiration. Yet the medial and institutional networks that support and publish these works are vastly different today than they were in the 1930s. This essay turns to two photo text projects, Matt Black’s American Geography (2014–Present) and Radcliffe ‘Ruddy’ Roye’s When Living is a Protest (2015–Present), that adapt the FSA style of New Deal documentary to the social media platform Instagram. Black’s and Roye’s Instagram documentaries make visible the changing place of the photographer, and photography as a medium, in the 21st century. At the same time, they offer parallel but opposed examples of how ‘born digital’ literary and visual art can reimagine modernism’s insistence on media specificity for 21st-century artistic works, especially those keyed to capturing the social life of economic crisis.

Published: November 2021

The article discusses the problems of legal policy of the Republic of Kazakhstan aimed at counteracting terrorism and religious extremism. The goal of research is the development of political and legal mechanisms of preventing terrorism and religious extremism in modern Kazakh society, the analysis of key reasons behind the spread of extremist attitudes among some believers, the study of key factors behind the extremist religious ideology. The methodological basis of this research is the dialectic method freed from materialistic or idealistic monism and grounded in pluralistic, multi-linear interdependence of all political and legal phenomena. The authors used formal-legal and comparative-legal methods. They researched the State Program of Counteracting Religious Extremism and Terrorism in the Republic of Kazakhstan in 2018–2022, which foresees predominantly preventive measures. The key task of ensuring state security in a rule-of-law state with a well-developed legal system, which the Republic of Kazakhstan is, mainly consists in the development and successful enforcement of legal mechanisms of governance.
In the modern world, religious and political extremism remains a phenomenon that destroys the basis of state power and the system of state governance, instigates hatred of representatives of other religious denominations, and contradicts the standards of morality and public behavior. Terrorism and religious extremism are a real threat to stability not only for the Republic of Kazakhstan, but for all countries of the world. The improvement of basic aspects in the criminal sphere, including the prevention of specific terrorism-related crimes, remains very topical today. The classification of criminal law norms connected with counteracting terrorism and religious extremism is based on a number of key indicators of criminal policy and fundamental criminal law institutes, whose description constitutes the main body of this article.

Erdély első minerológiája – támogatói és támadói
Authors: Id. Frivaldszky János
Published: November 2021

Fridvaldszky Jánosnak (1730–1784), a kolozsvári jezsuita akadémia professzorának 1767 legelején jelent meg Minerologia-ja,1 amely az erdélyi ásványvilág topográfiáját adja. A maga korában az ásványtan a ’kameralisztikai stúdium’ egy ága vagy tantárgya volt, vegytan, kohászati kémlészet, agronómia, népesedéstan, oklevéltan, pénzverési ismeretek, közgazdaságtan, stb. mellett, amelyek a kamarai tisztviselők kiképzését célozták.2 Annak magyarázatát, hogy hivatalos szerzetesrendi tanulmányai mellé a kameralisztikát is felvette, abban lehet megtalálni, hogy édesapja ezen ismeretek híján ment tönkre mint érseki provisor.3 E stúdiumot Fridvaldszky Bécsben J. H. G. von Justinál (1717–1771) hallgatta, s nemcsak a Minerologia, hanem minden gazdasági természetű írása (a Siebenbürgen, a Projectum oeconomicum és a méhészeti kézirat)4 is egyértelműen Justi hatását mutatja.5 Az azonban, hogy első két publikációja (a De natura ferri6 és a Minerologia) minden személyes indíték ellenére mégsem a gazdálkodásról, hanem a kameralisztika egy másik ágáról, az ásványtanról szól, azzal magyarázható, hogy 1762-ben, amikor első tanulmányútjára indult, még alapítás alatt állt a később Selmecbányán megnyílt bányász-kohász akadémia, s Fridvaldszky számíthatott arra, hogy őt is meghívják tanárnak.

Marc Bloch mondta, hogy a történelemnek, ha semmi más mentsége nem volna, még mindig elmondhatná magáról, hogy szórakoztató. De azon túl, hogy érdekes, sokszor nyugtalanító és rejtélyes is. Különösen igaz ez a sorsfordítónak tűnő eseményekkel kapcsolatban: mi lett volna, ha Julianus barát hazavezeti a keleti magyarokat; nyerhettünk volna-e Mohácsnál; vadkan ölte-e meg Imre herceget vagy Zrínyi Miklóst; kik bombázták Kassát 1941-ben? Vagy valóban a Csele-patakba fulladt-e II. Lajos? Bár az eseményekre a legtöbbször van nagyon egyszerű magyarázat, az ember természete már csak olyan, hogy nehezen hiszi el, hogy egy tragikus következményekhez vezető eseményláncolat elején olyan banális ok is állhat, mint egy vadász- vagy lovasbaleset.

A Kárpátok legkeletibb vonulatai által övezett, védett csücsökből, a Barcaságból a világ leírását tervezgetni a történelem bármely időszakában elképzelhetetlen, hagymázos vállalkozásnak tűnhetett. Mégis volt egyetlen olyan pillanat a művelődéstörténetben, amikor erre minden várakozás ellenére sor kerülhetett. A humanizmus és a reformáció erdélyi találkozásának metszéspontjában egy olyan személy tevékenysége áll, aki az imént megnevezett megismételhetetlen teljesítményt végrehajtotta. Erdély, illetve az ott élő szászok humanista reformátora, Johannes Honterus (1498–1549) először adott kortársainak olyan leírást az éppen ismert világról, amely nemcsak térképeken, hanem könnyebben memorizálható, hexameterekbe szedett elméleti szövegek formájában is segítette az olvasók tájékozódását a mindennapi élet legkülönfélébb területein.
Hallgatói periodikumok a pécsi Magyar Királyi Erzsébet Tudományegyetemen

A felsőoktatás-történeti szakirodalom pécsi kiadással jegyezte fel az első magyarországi diákújságot. A tankerületi átrendezéssel Győrből Pécsre áthelyezett, kétkarú (bölcsészeti és jogi) Királyi Akadémián az első, 1785/86-os tanévében jelent meg az Ephemerides című kiadvány. A lap igencsak rövid életű volt, létezéséről is csak a Helytartótanács 1786. július 11-i (27.636. számú) felszólításából értesülhetünk, amelyben kötelezte az akadémia igazgatóságát, hogy egy példányt mindenképpen szolgáltassanak be a megjelent kiadványból. Az iskola vezetősége ezt a kérést végül nem teljesítette, mondván a lap „idétlen tartalma miatt” időközben beszüntette működését. Sajnos ennek okán jelenleg egyetlen fennmaradt példányát sem ismerjük, ekképpen a sajtótörténeti szakirodalomban sem leltünk a nyomára.

At the same time, the focus of research has shifted from their production to their utilization in application development. We present the implementation of a demonstrator application combining the online visualization of a 3D city information model with the data from an application programming interface. By this, we aim to demonstrate the combined use of city APIs and 3D geospatial assets, promote their use for application development and show the performance of existing, openly available tools for 3D city model application development
Border images of Rus in Fornaldarsagas: intertextuality as an indication of collective memory
Authors:   I. Krypyakevych Institute of Ukrainian Studies of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Kiorsak Vladyslav
Published: November 2021

Fornaldarsagas or legendary sagas is an exemplary source to research the environment of Icelandic authors in the late Medieval time. They combine aspects of fiction writing, historical narrative, and folklore. The plots of these works had functioned in the memory a long time before reaching the pages of books. As a result of this, the meaning of these texts was constantly adapting to new conditions, leaving just some elements of the historic core. These aspects make Fornaldarsagas a valuable source for studying the collective memory and worldview of that time. In the current article, it was attempted to research the perception of Rus and Eastern Europe in the legendary sagas. We tried to reconstruct general conceptions and intellectual tendencies through the prism of the frontier images of these lands. As a result of involving Iceland in the sphere of influence of European culture, local scientists began to use ancient and European sources in constructing their historical narratives. When translating European treatises into their language, the Icelanders not only copied them but substantially supplemented them. Unlike European authors, who had too little empirical information, Icelanders inherited elements of memory from the Migration Period, Viking Age, and Rus-Scandinavian relations of X-XI centuries. Due to this combination of traditions, Eastern Europe received new images which absorbed the symbols of different times and cultures. An eloquent example of such symbiosis is the concept of Svíþjóð hin mikla. This term was supposed to be a translation of the ancient concept of Scythia but acquired a new meaning and turned the place into a «home of the Scandinavian gods». The idea of an Svíþjóð hin mikla became a mixture of ancient concepts and European interest in the East. At the same time, it was associated with Germanic episodes, that influenced the formation of the myth about the eastern origin of the Scandinavian gods. These ideas formed the literary canon, and the authors adhered to it when writing their works. These aspects of Icelandic writing help us better understand the intellectual environment and rethink the historicity of legendary sagas.
The sacred aspect of the image of the child in the early 20th century Polish and Western Ukrainian painting: socio-historical context and local specifics
Authors:   The Bohdan and Varvara Khanenko National Museum of Arts, Kizyma Yuliia
Published: November 2021

he late 19th and early 20th centuries marked significant changes in the social perception of children and childhood in Europe and the US. The phenomenon was vividly reflected in works of art, including painting. Images of children and childhood acquired new positive connotations. A rather ambiguous notion of “innocence” became one of the most important characteristics of childhood. The category was associated with children’s ability to receive more profound and intense religious experiences in comparison to those of adults. Poetry, philosophy, and art of that time emphasized this aspect of idealised childhood. In this research, we examine and compare works of easel and monumental painting on religious subjects by American and Western European as well as Polish and Ukrainian artists which depict children and childhood. We address both works intended for sacred spaces and secular paintings containing symbols and allusions borrowed from Christian imagery. The article looks into the genesis of the sacralised image of children and childhood in Western cultures, its specific features and ways of its representation in painting, including local traditions. The study focuses on the portrayal of peasant children in paintings by Polish and Ukrainian artists (Jacek Malczewski, Kazimierz Sichulski, Wlastimil Hofman, Oleksa Novakivskyi, Yulian Butsmaniuk) on religious subjects. The sacralisation of village children in Central and Eastern European art constitutes a peculiar artistic phenomenon closely associated with the social structure as well as political situation in the region. In the course of the research we employed a range of methods—formal, iconographical, iconological analysis, content analysis and semiological analysis.
The Language of the Besermians in the Light of the Historical Communication Processes of the Peoples of the Volga-Urals Region
Authors: Robustova E.V. , Liukina N.M.
Published: November 2021

The article considers the linguistic aspects of the "Bessermian problem", the essence of which lies in the debatability of the question of the Bessermian ethnogenesis, namely about either the Turkic or Finno-Ugric origin of the Bessermian ethnos, whose history, unfolding during the last centuries on the territory of the Urals region, has no written sources and is little-studied. The interest to this problem stems from the studies of historical migrations of the peoples who constituted the population of Volga Bulgaria, a powerful state formation, which ceased to exist during the Mongol-Tatar conquests, and clarification of the historical fate of the people, recorded in a number of medieval sources under the designation "Beserm'en". In the connection with the attempts to verify the hypothesis, allowing to consider Bessermians as "direct descendants of the Kama Bulgars", the materials collected by the researchers of Bessermian language in the late 19th century, as well as in the 20th – early 21st centuries, were updated and subjected to the scientific-historical consideration, where the comparison of Bessermian dialect with Chuvash language, scientifically recognized as the only living language of Bulgar (or Oghur) group of the Turkish languages, was made. On the basis of the historiographical analysis the conclusion is made: despite the fact that at present Besermians are referred to small Finno-Ugrian groups, the question of their identification with the autochthonous Finno-Ugrian.
Contrastive Analysis of English, Russian, and Hebrew Red Idioms
Authors: Kigel T.
Published: November 2021

The paper studied 130 colorative idioms with colorative red (RI) in three languages from electronic sources, with a focus on current vocabulary from the 20th and 21st centuries. RIs numerous meanings were investigated, then merged into trilingual associative chains, and finally into seven microsystems, using statistical, comparative, linguistic, and linguistic-cultural analysis methods within the framework of the linguocultural approach to RI: Blood color-activity-disease-medical care-shame-irritation - anger - aggression - crime - murder; Fire - attractiveness; Danger - prohibition – border- red-green; Revolution - anarchism-communism; Prestige- holiday; Sex; Red object's color. We also found trilingual extra-associative RIs, which have meanings not found in the associative chains. The study examined RI quantitatively, identifying trilingual equivalent and lacunar idioms, linked between RI and red in nature, noting the formation of new RI meanings and connotation changes in three languages through time. Polysemy, antinomy with different hues (green, black, white, and blue), international neologisms (computer technology, the stock market, the coronavirus pandemic), and the relevance of RI in modern languages and linguistic culture were the topics covered in this research.
Alkol ve madde kullanım bozukluğu tanılı hastalarda inflamasyon düzeyleri
Authors: KULU Müberra , ÖZSOY Filiz , DEMİR Bahadır
Published: November 2021

Amaç: Bu çalışmada amaç; alkol kullanım bozukluğu (AKB) ve madde kullanım bozukluğu (MKB) tanısı konulan iki ayrı hasta grubunun inflamasyon belirteçlerini sağlıklı kontroller ve birbirleri ile karşılaştırarak incelemektir.

Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmamıza 159 kişi (100 kişi hasta grubu ve 59 kişi kontrol grubu olarak) alındı. Tüm katılımcıların demografik verileri bir form halinde yazıldı ve laboratuvar parametreleri tam kan sayımı ile değerlendirildi.

Bulgular: MKB tanılı hastaların; 24’ü (%48) esrar, 26’sı (%52) sentetik kannabinoid kullanıyordu. Her iki hasta grubunda da hemoglobin, hematokrit, RDW-standart sapma olarak değeri (RDW-SD), ortalama platelet hacmi (MPV) değeri sağlıklı kontrollerden yüksek idi. Platelet değeri AKB hastalarında diğer iki gruptan düşük iken, eritrosit değeri MKB hastalarında diğer iki gruptan yüksek idi.

Sonuç: Hem AMKB patofizyolojisinde bazı inflamatuvar parametrelerinin etkili olabileceği düşünülmüştür. Ayrıca bu parametrelerdeki değişikliklere bağlı olarak oluşabilecek spontan kanama, enfeksiyon hastalıklarına yatkınlık gibi komplikasyonlar da hem hastaların değerlendirilmeleri hem de tedavi planlamalarında göz önüne alınmalıdır.
