Impacts of Androgen Abuse and Overtraining on Endocrine Profile in Bodybuilders
Authors: Hassan Ekhlas Abdallah , Hameed Rusul Y. , Mezil Sabreen Ali
Published: January 2022

Abuse of androgens and overtraining expose bodybuilders to multifactorial stress influences related to endocrine activity. Endocrine responses in 23 bodybuilder athletes were investigated after a strength training period, during which they were taking high doses of androgenic-anabolic steroids. Serum concentrations of TSH, T3, and T4 were unchanged significantly. Serum LH and FSH concentrations decreased dramatically (P<0.05). In addition, low mean concentration of serum testosterone was recorded, with more substantial reduction in participants of elder ages. The multiple regression model used in this analysis supported this inference. On the other hand, a positive association was observed between levels of blood lipids (total cholesterol, triglyceride) and the outcome predictor (mean serum testosterone level). The results also suggested a negative correlation between testosterone level and each of age and HDL level. The current study shows that excessive bodybuilding exercise has an impact on the hypothalamic–pituitary–thyroid (HPT) axis in top-level athletes. Also, simultaneous usage of anabolic steroids induces extreme shifts in the hypothalamic-pituitary–gonadal (HPGA) axis, which is reflected as changes in testosterone level, development of the overtraining syndrome, and adverse influences on hormonal control.
Modelling the Role of the Inner Electrode Radius on the Oxygen Negative Corona Discharge in Coaxial Electrode Geometry
Authors: Ahmed Muayad Abdullah
Published: January 2022

The charge species plays a vital role in changing the field in direct current discharge (DC). This article introduces a numerical modeling in one dimension of the inner electrode diameter of oxygen-fed negative corona discharge in coaxial electrodes geometry. The properties of negative corona plasma in a concentric cylindrical electrodes (wire-cylinder) were simulated by COMSOL Multiphysics software. Various diameters of negative corona electrode, namely 0.01, 0.025, 0.05, 0.075, and 0.125 mm, were applied, ​​where the diameter of the outer cylindrical electrode was taken as 15 mm. The model was run at atmospheric pressure and the applied negative voltage was -10 KV. Moreover, oxygen gas was used to fill the inter-electrodes distance. Furthermore, the spatial distribution of electrons, positive ions, and negative ions as a function of the diameter of negative electrode of the negative corona discharge were investigated. The study also tested the effects of the electrode diameter of the negative corona discharge on ozone generation. The observed decrease in ozone density with the increase in negative electrode diameter was reasonable and consistent with other results provided by researchers in this field.
Foraging and nest maintenance activity of the leafcutter ant Acromyrmex lobicornis (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in an organic vineyard in the Monte desert of Mendoza, Argentina
Authors: DAGATTI Carla V. , VARGAS Gabriela A.
Published: January 2022

Exclusive to the Neotropical region, leaf cutter ants are considered agricultural pests, although they can also have a positive effect on plants. In Mendoza vineyards, vegetal biodiversity is minimal, therefore they cut off this plant as a feeding resource. Acromyrmex lobicornis Emery it is mostly nocturnal and forages according to temperature. Foraging and maintenance activity was measured monthly in 14 colonies, throughout a full day at fourhour intervals, from October 2019 to March 2020. Acromyrmex lobicornis showed different seasonal patterns of foraging activity. Foraging intensity was highest throughout January and February, intermediate during December, and lowest in October and November. A bimodal feeding pattern was observed, foraging both day and night avoiding the hottest hours. The maximum collection of fragments was observed in the range of 10 and 19 °C, less between 20 - 39 °C, minimum between 40 - 49 °C and null between 0 - 9 °C. The nest - maintenance activity was maximum between 20 - 29 °C, less between 30 - 39 ° C, minimum between 40 - 49 °C and null between 0 - 20 °C.
Haemagogus leucocelaenus (Diptera: Culicidae), the potential wild vector of yellow fever in the border zone of northern Misiones, Argentina
Authors: SICHES Julieta A. , BERROZPE Pablo E. , ROSSI Gustavo C. , SALOMÓN Oscar D. , GARCÍA Juan J.
Published: January 2022

Haemagogus leucocelaenus (Diptera: Culicidae) is considered the primary vector of yellow fever virus (Flaviviridae) in wild environments in South America. Previous research has defined Hg. leucocelaenus as a wild species with phytotelmata-type breeding sites. The objective of this study was to report the temporal and space occurrence of Hg. leucocelaenus at the microscale in the wild-periurban fringe through a systematic and spatially stratified sampling using 81 ovitraps between April 2019 and February 2 020 in the locality of Puerto Iguazú, Argentina. Of the total ovitraps, eight were positive for Hg. leucocelaenus, six in the wild environment and two in the periurban environment. Regarding the time distribution, 98.5% of the occurrence was concentrated in November and December 2019 towards the beginning of the rainy season. The results confirm the habitat plasticity of Hg. leucocelaenus and establish the aptitude of artificial containers as a methodology in monitoring studies, since they illustrate the potential of wild populations to deposit fertile eggs in them at least up to 300 m from the wild-periurban fringe. This work is a contribution to determine the temporal and space risk of yellow fever virus transmission in the region, based on the distribution patterns of this species as a function to the ecotone associated with forest borders and climatic variables.

política y la estética de “lo popular no representado” – Una aproximación al levantamiento popular en Cali, desde las ideas de Jesús Martín Barbero
Authors: Ulloa Sanmiguel Alejandro
Published: January 2022

En este artículo se retoman tres de las ideas relacionadas con la ciudad y la violencia, expuestas por Jesús Martín Barbero en diversas oportunidades. Tales ideas se enlazan con una de las tesis desarrolladas en su libro De los medios a las mediaciones (1987). A partir de esa relación, más las referencias a autores fundamentales en la discusión, como Henry Lefevre, y la observación participante de algunas movilizaciones, se propone una reflexión sobre el levantamiento popular en Cali y sobre la estética del antimonumento a la Resistencia, creado durante la coyuntura de mayo de 2021.
La posthumanidad diseñada: el anhelo de inmortalidad y otros deleites
Authors: Reina Gutiérrez Andrés
Published: January 2022

La reflexión parte del enorme desequilibrio que evidencia la humanidad en el manejo de la tecnociencia para el bienestar colectivo frente a los intereses particulares que persiguen la inmortalidad, la felicidad y la divinidad de un exclusivo segmento del poder socio-económico. Grandes especialistas de las ciencias y las humanidades se devanan los sesos para evitar el colapso global como consecuencia de nuestro crecimiento ilimitado, mientras que una minoría de tecnócratas dedica enormes recursos para la consolidación del macroproyecto transhumanista. De tal manera que los afanes por alcanzar lo posthumano suscitan una importante discusión respecto a los mecanismos de modificación humana con aspiraciones de sanación o mejoramiento y sus fronteras difusas. En esta visualización es inevitable oscilar entre la tecnofilia y la tecnofobia, en especial cuando se espera que el futuro más probable sea el de una posthumanidad roborgánica que cumplirá el fin de lo humano anunciado por Foucault. Finalmente, emerge la noción de postantropocentrismo a cargo de Rosi Braidotti, como una manera de darle la vuelta al fenómeno y explorar en dicho camino una meta de reconciliación, en un amplio sentido. Estas ideas derivan del extraordinario trabajo de Donna Haraway y sus revolucionarios conceptos sobre la metáfora del cyborg, el feminismo y la reivindicación humana frente al devenir de la hibridación natura–cultura.

Los resultados se contrastaron en base a la teoría del desarrollo psicosocial, teoría ecológica y teoría de redes sociales y, específicamente del análisis del apoyo social en base a la Escala de Apoyo Social (EAS) y de percepción de calidad de vida bajo la utilización del cuestionario WHOQOL-BREF. Entre los hallazgos se determinó que los factores protectores expresados en altas puntuaciones de apoyo; social, familiar, de amigos y calidad de vida en sus dimensiones de salud física, psicológica, ambiente y relaciones sociales contribuyen a una percepción normal-positiva por parte de los adultos mayores.
A propósito del qué, cómo y para qué investigar en el campo de la justicia juvenil: la trastienda de un proceso de investigación en Rosario, Argentina
Authors: De Bella Karina
Published: January 2022

Este artículo da cuenta de un proceso de investigación que se encuentra en curso en la ciudad de Rosario (Santa Fe, Argentina). El trabajo tiene como objeto mostrar dicho proceso que tiene la particularidad de ser llevado a cabo por un equipo de investigación conformado por docentes, investigadoras y licenciadas en Trabajo Social que no se encuentran vinculadas al ámbito académico, sino insertas profesionalmente en la administración de justicia. Analizar esta fructífera relación entre espacios académicos y espacios sociocupacionales, nos lleva a pensar en los dispositivos que se han desarrollado en la Universidad Nacional de Rosario y en las definiciones en cuanto al carácter de las investigaciones que desde allí se procura propiciar. La idea de trastienda es una invitación a conocer cómo se toman las decisiones en cuanto al qué, cómo y para qué investigar. La idea de proceso, y sobre todo en el contexto de la actual pandemia por Covid-19, nos lleva a visualizar los obstáculos y avances. Puntualizando en el campo de la justicia juvenil y partiendo de la necesariedad de la perspectiva sociojurídica, consideramos que el trabajo social contribuye a dicha perspectiva, como punto de encuentro para facilitar el diálogo entre diversos enfoques y áreas científicas (criminología, ciencia política, antropología, trabajo social). Específicamente, las presentes reflexiones surgen a partir del proyecto de investigación que se encuentra en curso, denominado “Justicia juvenil. Significados construidos por las y los jóvenes-adolescentes en relación con el proceso sociojurídico”, apoyado en el enfoque metodológico cualitativo.
Integrating TAM, VAM, PAM and Security Perception in The Intention of Fintech Service Usage
Authors: Hatmawan Aglis andhita , Taufiq Abdul Rohman
Published: January 2022

This study is meant to develop a TAM (Technology Acceptance Model) by integrating a VAM (Value-based Adoption Model), PAM (Pos Acceptance Model) and security perceptions. The frameworks of the theories are expected to deeper explain the perspective perceived by fintech services users in terms of security, perceived value, benefits, and satisfaction in using fintech. Survey through a quantitative approach combined with explanatory research in Madiun Residency. The results showed that all hypotheses proposed in this study were accepted. Security is the main requirement for people to continue or discontinue using fintech services. Perceived value is a comparative result influenced by the amount of sacrifice that is given and the perceived benefits. People who are satisfied and tends to assume that the fintech service is valuable, will most likely continue using the fintech service. Therefore, it can be concluded that TAM, VAM, PAM and security perceptions are a unified whole in understanding one's behaviour in adopting technology such as fintech services.
Keywords-TAM; VAM; PAM; Security Perception; Fintech
Analysis of Innovation Strategies to Improve the Quality of Infrastructure in Public Organisation using the Technical Evaluation and Decision Square (TEDS) Method
Authors: Rahman Hafiz , Oktavia Sri , Irvanda Yogi
Published: January 2022

This paper aims to analyze and discuss the implementation of innovative strategies in a public higher education institution in Indonesia. Analysis is undertaken by using Total Evaluation and Decision Square (TEDS) Method, which employs [a] Total Financial Management (TFM), [b] Total Content Management (TCM), [c] Total Process and Project Management (TPPM), and [d] Total Stakeholder Management (TSM) as the focus of analysis. The study is a qualitative study with the descriptive approach. Data and information were collected by using in-depth interview to the dean of the faculty and leaders of the department in the faculty as informants. Results of the interview were further analysed by using thematic analysis to get insights related to the topic of study. It can be inferred that the institution has already undertaken positive and beneficial innovation strategies. However, they are not effectively undertaken. This can be seen in the results of this study which show positive indicators in the parameters of Total Content Management (TCM), Total Process and Project Management (TPPM) and Total Stakeholder Management (TSM). The parameter of Total Financial Management (TFM), however, shows negative result in innovation strategy. The study reflects the actual condition of higher education institutions in Indonesia regarding institutional funding, and it further implies that the institution needs to be more innovative in finding suitable and reliable funding resources (apart from regular/yearly institutional budget as being provided by the Indonesian central government) to undertake its major tasks by law, which are [a] education, [b] research and development activities, as well as [c] the community development-empowerment activities.

Air transport is an industry 4.0 sector of priority that continues to evolve as the era becomes the backbone of a country's economy. The opening of the economic market in all regions of the world has increased the complexity of air transportation, including in Indonesia.   In this decade as the development of technology and the 4.0 industry, the air plane remains the choice of people to explore the world and also the movement of people from one place to another is rapidly secured funds. The strategy to compete with the airline is to improve flight image in Indonesia by improving the performance of aviation operations. This research aims to analyse and evaluate the performance of aviation operations in Indonesia from the company's perspective. The survey method was conducted through the dissemination of questionnaires to respondents with purposive sampling techniques netted 200 aviation employees in Indonesia. The data collected is processed using the Structural Equation Model - Partial Least Square. The results showed; Strategy direction proved to affect process management, process management proved no effect on operation performance, strategy direction has no effect on Operation performance, strategy direction proved to affect human resources management, human resource management proved to be no impact on Operation performance, Process management proved unable to fully mediation the relationship between strategy direction with operating performance, HR management proved not to fully mediation the relationship between strategy direction to operating performance. So it can be said the strategy direction of the company directly affects the flight operation performance.

Emotional Dynamics, Dialogue, And Organizational Innovativeness Of Indonesian Private Tv Stations
Authors: Tricahyono Dodie
Published: January 2022

Currently, researchers tend to suggest a socially based approach to address the challenge of innovation rather than an economic approach which often fails to address the challenge. This study examines the relationship between emotional dynamics as an independent variable, organizational innovativeness as the dependent variable, and dialogue as a mediator in Indonesian private television broadcasting institutions. Data is collected from 132 respondents who are creative workers at Indonesian private tv stations. Prior to hypotheses testing, this study conducted a factor analysis to check the construct validity of all variables under study. This study used multiple regression analysis to examine direct relationships and two-step hierarchical regression to examine mediating effect. The results show that emotional dynamics have a significant effect on organizational innovativeness and dialogue. The results also show that dialogue partially mediates the relationship between emotional dynamics and organizational innovativeness. This study found that organizational innovativeness can be achieved by those who apply: an open culture, a climate of discussion about new ideas, and a climate of mutual respect. The study also reveals that dialogue is a very important tool that mediates the relationship between open culture and organizational innovativeness. This study proposes that organizational age and the influence of national culture need to be considered for further research on social-based innovation.
Keywords: emotional dynamics, dialogue, organizational innovativeness, Indonesian private tv stations
Covid-19 Policy Implications for Blended Learning in Higher Education in the Fourth Industrial Revolution
Authors: Cronje Johannes C
Published: January 2022

Universities have aspired to embrace the concepts of Schwab’s Fourth Industrial Revolution with varying degrees of success. The Covid-19 epidemic, however, has created a disruption of unprecedented proportions. Managements of universities were forced to do whatever it took to save the academic year by means of emergency remote teaching. This form of teaching required a relaxation of numerous rules and policies that were designed primarily for contact institutions. Many of these concessions will probably be irrevocable and will require intensive revisions of university policies of teaching and learning. However, since teaching and learning do not exist in a vacuum, there are policy implications for all sections of the university. This autoethnographic desk study follows a theory-building approach by integrating the lived experience of the author with the current literature, to create a framework for the development and revision of policies to accommodate blended learning in higher education in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic and the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). Although the definition and implementation of blended learning lie at the heart of issues regarding teaching and learning, policy adjustments will have to be made in all aspects of the university.

Authors: Król Szymon
Published: January 2022

Wiele spośród wyzwań, przed którymi staje dzisiaj ludzkość, kumuluje się wobszarach przybrzeżnych. Przemiany środowiska naturalnego i kulturowego wymuszają poszukiwanie nowych form osadnictwa. Jednym z rozwiązań jest budownictwo na wodzie. Przez długie lata stanowiło temat dywagacji, fantazji i utopijnych wizji, a w dobie rosnących możliwości technologicznych zaczyna być całkiem realne. Jakie są dotychczasowe doświadczenia? Co architekci i inżynierowie proponują na nadchodzące lata? Czy pływające miasta rzeczywiście rozwiążą problemy dzisiejszego świata? Niniejszy artykuł stanowi próbę odpowiedzi na te pytania; zawiera przegląd aktualnych informacji na temat budownictwa na wodzie i podejmuje temat ich rozwoju. Opisuje najważniejsze argumenty za powstawaniem pływających miast, potencjalne trudności i wytyczne dla przyszłych projektów.
PRZESZACOWANIE POWIERZCHNI TERENÓW OSADNICZYCH W STUDIACH UWARUNKOWAŃ I KIERUNKÓW ZAGOSPODAROWANIA PRZESTRZENNEGO GMIN W ŚWIETLE ZMIAN USTAWOWYCH Z 2015 ROKU. PRZYPADEK RADOMSKIEGO OBSZARU FUNKCJONALNEGO
Authors: Zaborowski Tomasz Piotr
Published: January 2022

Brak wymogu opierania wielkości zakładanego rozwoju osadniczego na prognozach demograficznych doprowadził do znacznego przeszacowania powierzchni terenów osadniczych wyznaczanych w gminnych studiach uwarunkowań i kierunków zagospodarowania przestrzennego. Nowelizacja ustawy o planowaniu i zagospodarowaniu przestrzennym z 2015 r., która wprowadziła taki wymóg, miała służyć zahamowaniu dalszej eskalacji wspomnianego zjawiska. Pierwszym celem niniejszych badań było wyliczenie skali przeszacowania terenów mieszkaniowych wyznaczonych w studiach uwarunkowań i kierunków zagospodarowania przestrzennego gmin Radomskiego Obszaru Funkcjonalnego (ROF), sporządzonych na podstawie starych przepisów. Drugim celem badań było stwierdzenie, czy nowe studium podradomskiej gminy Kowala odpowiada założeniom wspomnianej nowelizacji ustawy o planowaniu i zagospodarowaniu przestrzennym. Przeprowadzone badania wykazały znaczne przeszacowanie powierzchni terenów mieszkaniowych wyznaczonych w studiach gmin ROF. Analiza nowego studium gminy Kowala wykazała, że powiela ono dotychczasowe znaczne przeszacowanie terenów mieszkaniowych, co świadczy o jego niezgodności z założeniami nowelizacji ustawy o planowaniu i zagospodarowaniu przestrzennym z 2015 r.
The Theological-Philosophical “School” of Qumran
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Tantlevskij Igor
Published: January 2022

In the first part of the article the author tries to reconstruct the peculiarities of organizational-administrative basis and content of the educational process in Qumran, and to analyze the impact of the success in learning and intellectual development of community members on their position in the congregation, but, most importantly, on the state of their soul, its disposition in the global war of good with evil and, ultimately, on its receiving retribution in the otherworld. In the second part of the article the author makes an attempt to identify some features of the theological-philosophical “school” formed in Qumran and to summarise key aspects of the theological and philosophical doctrines of Qumran, primarily based on the “Treatise on the Two Spirits” (1QS 3:13–4:26): 1) Concept of the Creation of the universe through an intermediary “link” – “Knowledge” (dʽt) according to the “Design” (mḥšbh/mḥšbt) of God; the Qumran concept of mḥšbh/mḥšbt, probably implying the “Plan”/“Scheme”/“Project” of the universe, can be correlated with Plato’s concept of παράδειγμα. 2) Concept of predestination in correlation with the Essene doctrine of predestination in the context of the formation of Judaean “philosophical schools”. 3) Peculiarities of the Qumran dualistic doctrine of the two ways and two spirits and the origins of “nature of Truth” and “nature of Evil” in the framework of biblical monotheism; features of Qumran theodicy. 4) Correlation of the Qumran doctrine of “human nature” and “virtue” with the Essene ethical teaching according to Philo of Alexandria’s treatise “On Every Virtuous One Is Free”, XII, 80–84. The article also analyses the key designations of community leaders and self-designations of community members in an organizational and educational context.
The principle of "ars imitatur naturam" in the genesis of philosophical and educational conceptions of Jan Amos Komensky and Grigory Skovoroda
Authors:   The Herzen State Pedagogical University, Stepanova Anna S.
Published: January 2022

The article is devoted to the study of the role and modification of the Aristotelian principle of ars imitatur naturam in the formation of the concept of the Czech thinker, teacher, and theologian Jan Amos Comenius. The variety of approaches of Protestant thinkers to Aristotle's principle, born in the discussion, allowed Comenius to address it critically, perceiving it comprehensively and extending the concept of art to the sphere of education. Campanella's ideas moved Comenius to remove the veneer of indeterminacy from nature, promoting an understanding of it as a friendly and creative beginning. The author notes the peculiarity of Comenius' interpretation of this principle, giving it the meaning of universal nature-humanitarian mechanism which suited his concept of pan-sophia to the fullest extent. Comenius and G. Skovoroda, who developed the concepts of kinship and wisdom in the light of the ideas of enlightenment, thus laying the foundations of humanistic philosophy and pedagogy of the New Age and Enlightenment era, make an analogy between the interpretations of the Aristotelian thesis.
“Art and Life”: Oscar Wilde’s Aesthetic Platonism
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Protopopova Irina
Published: January 2022

The article examines the Platonism of Oscar Wilde, starting from his studies at Trinity College and Oxford, and how it was related to his aestheticism. Plato was one of the key figures for the so-called Oxford Hellenistic movement (1850–70s of the 19th century). In its context, the “Symposium” was read almost as a manifesto of a new aestheticism, an important part of which was homoeroticism. Wilde believed that Plato should be interpreted as a “critique of Beauty” and compared a philosopher of the Platonic school with a poet. At the same time, considering himself a Platonist, Wilde turned Plato upside down. The metaphor of the “Cave” remained relevant to him as well, and the Cave itself was understood in about the same way, viz. as a vulgar sensual life with its senseless utilitarianism, taking shadows for genuine reality. But while for Plato the exit from the Cave was associated with pure comprehension in the rarefied and, most importantly, extra-figurative space of merging oneself with the transcendent, and attaining genuine virtue by this outlook for genuine reality, for Wilde, the beautiful in itself was imagery par excellence (according to Plato, the world of eidolons, the lowest sphere of being), and imagery was art, and the possibility of virtue according to Wilde is precisely fidelity to art.
Maximus of Tyre on Socrates’ daimonion (Or. 8–9)
Authors:   The Russian State University for the Humanities, Garadja Alexei
Published: January 2022

Maximus of Tyre (fl. late 2nd century ad) is most poorly and confusedly attested in ancient sources. The best testimony to be found is his extant collection of 41 Orationes, or Dissertationes, addressing a wide range of topics, including the issue of ‘Socrates’ daimonion’ (Or. 8–9), which has been also dealt with by Maximus’ fellow Platonists of the Middle stage Plutarchus of Chaeronea (46 – after 119), in De Socratis demonio, and Apuleius of Madauros (c. 124 – c. 170), in De deo Socratis. All of them, with slight variations, consider demons intermediary beings shuttling between heavens and earth, gods and humans; at one point, Maximus compares them to translators who ensure contacts between people of different cultures. Maximus’ Platonism mainly manifests in his attempts to mould his own writings in the spirit and style of Plato’s works. The style is paramount for Maximus, him being not only a Platonist, but also a prominent representative of the Second Sophistic. As an eclectic philosopher, he introduces into his writings sundry Aristotelean and Stoic threads interwoven with Platonic warp and woof. Revealing himself a widely educated person, Maximus shows a good knowledge of Plato as well as other ancient authors, whose many fragments are extant solely thanks to his quotations. Maximus is scarcely known in the Russian language: a few translations of the last century are based on an obsolescent edition. As an appendix, a new Russian translation of Or. 8–9 based on thoroughly corrected editions of Maximus’ text is provided.

Veritative ontology: reinterpreting Ancient Greek philosophy
Authors:   Jesuit University Ignatianum in Krakow, Świercz Piotr
Published: January 2022

This article proposes a revision of the traditional interpretation of ancient Greek ontology and indicates what consequences this revision may have for political reflection. The basis for the interpretation laid out here lies in classicist Charles H. Kahn’s work on the meaning and function of the verb “to be” (einai) in ancient Greek. Kahn asserts that the original and fundamental meaning of einai was veritative (veridical) rather than existential – it was used to signify truth, not existence. Though the significance of Kahn’s research has been widely acknowledged, the influence of his analyses on interpretations of Greek ontology seems disproportionately small in comparison. The veritative interpretation remains on the margin of studies dominated by the existential interpretation. My article is meant as a contribution to the project of building a veritative interpretation of Greek ontology. I intend to show, using certain examples, the forms of this interpretation and possibilities it presents. For scholars of ancient Greek philosophy, it is often difficult to distinguish between its ontological and epistemological aspects. As I will try to show, this state of affairs results from a post factum imposition of the existential interpretation on Greek thought. The problem is greatly reduced when we use the veritative paradigm in place of the existential paradigm. It also becomes easier to grasp the unity of Greek philosophy, especially the unity of ontology and epistemology. A veritative interpretation of Greek ontology carries with it important consequences for our understanding of Greek political philosophy as well. One of the key consequences is a “formal” (as opposed to “material”) understanding of concepts fundamental to Greek political reflection, such as the “good” and “justice.” As a result, discussion on ancient Greek political and legal reflection can be conducted from a fruitful new perspective.
Slavophiles on the Relationship between “Internal” and “External” in the Construction of the Boundaries of Russian Identity
Authors: Shirokova M. A.
Published: January 2022

The article is devoted to the philosophy of classical Slavophilism, which the author considers as the first conception of Russian national identity, which reached the generalizations of the philosophical level. Self-identification of a people, as well as person, presupposes an understanding of their own characteristics in relation to “others”. The Slavophilеs viewed the West as the “Significant Other”. For the Slavophiles, one of the most important markers allowing to define the boundaries of the Russian identity was the antithesis of “internal” and “external”. Comparing her position with the one of the modern European researcher K. J. Mier, the author analyzes the use of this antithesis in Slavophil anthropology.
Later J.-P. Sartre and Early K. Marx: The Humanistic Content of the General and the Depth of the Discrepancies of the Particular
Authors: Evdokimova K. N.
Published: January 2022

Turning to this topic, one cannot but take into account the fact that some thinkers and philosophers who understand the philosophy of J.-P. Sartre, agreeing with him, are the young intellectuals of France, namely, Hervé Bazin, Pierre Courtade and others. Others do quite the opposite: they are categorically critical in their works, for example, Henri Lefebvre, "L'Existentialisme" (1946), Henri Muzhin "La Sainte famille existentialiste" (1947), Jean Canap "L'Existentialisme n'est pas un humanisme" (1947), Georg Lukacs "Existentialisme ou marxisme?" (1948) and others. In this situation, the question arises of where J.-P. Sartre was a follower of Marxism and where not. Besides, researchers usually do not fully take into account all stages of the development of J.-P. Sartre’s philosophy. Sartre. However, this is a necessary condition for understanding how Marxism influenced the last stage of Sartre's work (we define it as starting from about 1950). The lack of agreement between researchers on the Marxist component of Sartres’s work demonstrates, in our opinion, a lack of attention to all its stages. Of course, the volume of our article does not allow us to make up for this deficiency in full. But we tried, at least briefly, to take into account all the essential points that determine the specifics of the Marxist component in the work of J.-P. Sartre.
Rational Reasons, Counterfactual Statements and “Impossible Worlds” in the Philosophical Justifications of Thought Experiments
Authors: Karpovich V. N.
Published: January 2022

In his theory of natural laws David Lewis rejects the authenticity of impossible worlds on the grounds that the contradiction contained within his modifier "in (the world) w" is tantamount to a contradiction in the whole theory, which seems unacceptable. At the same time, in philosophical discourse very often researchers use counterfactual situations and thought experiments with impossible events and objects. There is a need to apply the theory of worlds to genuine, concrete, but impossible worlds. One way to do this is to reject Lewis's classical negation on the grounds that it leads to problems of completeness and inconsistency inside the worlds. The proposed extension for impossibility is compatible with Lewis's extensional metaphysics, although it leads to some loss for description completeness in semantics.
Comparative Evaluation of the Condition of Academic Graduate School (Middle 2000s – Late 2010s)
Authors: Ablazhey A. M.
Published: January 2022

The main task of the article was to identify the dynamics of changing social characteristics of graduate students from research institutes of Novosibirsk Academgorodok. For the comparative analysis we used the data of polls conducted in 2005 and 2018. We compared such variables as the reasons for admission to graduate school, assessments of the current state of the main elements of scientific activity, the expectations of graduate students about their future profession, primarily a scientific career, criteria and factors of its success. Based on these results we planned to identify the main trends inherent in graduate studies as the main method of training personnel for Russian science. It is concluded that at present the system of training highly qualified scientific personnel in the country is in an unstable state. As a result, there is an active discussion in the professional community about ways of further reforming graduate school.
The Acoustic Nature of “Storm Nose”, “Supercell” Vortices and Tornadoes
Authors: Pinakov V. I.
Published: January 2022

The process of cumulonimbus cloud Cb calvus formation in the middle latitudes of real atmosphere is analyzed in this work. Its transformation from initial lifecycle stage to “maturity” undergoes due to the formation of the waveguide called “aerial acoustic channel” in the troposphere near the level of temperature minimum that is close to 2 km altitude. This “aerial acoustic channel” can be considered as analog of “deep sound channel” that corresponds to the minimal sound speed level. Tropospheric “channel” related to the thermal inversion zone is almost unlimited horizontally. Synchronous generation of two compression waves (ascending one above Cb and descending one inside Cb) is caused by Cb calvus dome ascension. The first one can provoke the aerodynamic draft previously unexplained. The second one results in the growth of its “storm nose” and in the axial and peripheral descending mechanisms in Cb. The penetration of Cb into stratosphere results in the destruction of dynamic balance around Cb top and hence in its unloading in the descending decompression wave. Here the air cools down to the “dew point” in the place of conjugation with parental cloud – due to Snellius law it results in the formation of aerosol “vortex” as condensation front; this “vortex” has calculated value of its generatrix against vertical. Due to D. Snow’s criterion, this vortex forms either “supercell” vortex or tornado vortex.
Intermittent fasting

Интервальное голодание (intermittent fasting) - метод профилактики и лечения людей с самой распространенной сегодня патологией: избыточной массой тела и ожирением. Особую актуальность проблеме создает тот факт, что некрасивое и осложняющее жизнь ожирение - маркер расстройства метаболизма, предрасполагающего к развитию многих неинфекционных пандемий современного человечества. Интервальное голодание осуществляется ежесуточным полным отказом от еды на срок не менее 12 часов, - соотношение периодов голодания и приема пищи 12 ч : 12 ч. Увеличение периода голодания, например, 18 ч : 6 ч повышает профилактическую и лечебную эффективность интервального голодания.

Intermittent fasting is a method for prevention and treatment of the currently most common pathology, overweight and obesity. Of particular relevance is the fact that ugly and life-complicating obesity is a marker of metabolic disorders that predispose people to many noninfectious pandemics. The interval fasting is performed by daily complete refraining from food for at least 12 hours with a 12h:12h ratio of fasting and food consumption periods. Increasing the fasting period, for example to 18h:6h, enhances the preventive and therapeutic efficacy of intermittent fasting.

Моногенная микродупликация TSPAN7 часто классифицируется либо как перестройка с неясной клинической значимостью, либо как условно патогенная. При этом у гемизиготных носителей кроме нарушений интеллектуального развития и/или аутизма, наблюдаются и дисморфии, что характерно для синдромальных форм интеллектуальной недостаточности. В настоящей работе мы анализировали патогенетическую роль микродупликации в формировании клинического фенотипа XLID у двух пациентов. Результаты работы позволяют предположить, что внутригенная дупликация TSPAN7 является патогенной и имеет тенденцию к формированию у гемизиготных носителей синдромальной формы XLID.

Single-gene microduplication of the TSPAN7 gene is often classified as either a rearrangement of uncertain clinical significance or likely pathogenic, although other clinical features are often observed in hemizygous carriers in addition to intellectual disability or autism. This is characteristic of syndromic intellectual disability. In this study, we analyzed the pathogenetic significance of the microduplication in the XLID phenotype in two patients.

Traditional & narrative practices of treatment for depression and depressive symptoms in older adults
Authors: Jeffers Courtni
Published: January 2022

An analysis and evaluation of the literature regarding traditional treatment methods for depression among older adults compared the effectiveness of the results to the benefits of a treatment plan that integrates the narrative practices of storytelling and reflexive writing. Priority was given to peer-reviewed journal articles from 2008 forward, though some earlier information was used for clarification and foundation building.
The formation and implementation of individual patient treatment plans for depression and depressive symptoms are impacted by many variables such as: Confusion surrounding provider treatment guidelines, social organizational context, organizational climate and the differing definitions of depression that exist among providers and patients. Patients often struggle to self-identify or put words to depressive symptoms and the process of reflexive writing is transformative and increases narrative competency, which strengthens a patient’s ability to give an account of oneself, aiding in self-discovery and personal symptom awareness.
An imbalance of power exists in the clinical encounter and the practices and principles of the discipline of Narrative Medicine can have a positive impact on strengthening the therapeutic alliance and treatment outcomes. Older adults with depression and depressive symptoms have a lower quality of life and often feel less productive in their communities. Traditional pharmacologically based depression treatment plans are one-dimensional and often fail to address personal patient context and preference. Older adults living with diagnosed depression and depressive symptoms can be better served with treatment plans that include narrative techniques that increase alliance, affiliation, self-awareness and self-discovery.
