Published: November 2024

The ability to maintain our body’s balance and stability in space is crucial for performing daily activities. Effective postural control (PC) strategies rely on integrating visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive sensory inputs. While neuroimaging has revealed key areas involved in PC—including brainstem, cerebellum, and cortical networks—the rapid neural mechanisms underlying dynamic postural tasks remain less understood. Therefore, we used EEG microstate analysis within the BioVRSea experiment to explore the temporal brain dynamics that support PC. This complex paradigm simulates maintaining an upright posture on a moving platform, integrated with virtual reality (VR), to replicate the sensation of balancing on a boat. Data were acquired from 266 healthy subjects using a 64-channel EEG system. Using a modified k-means method, five EEG microstate maps were identified to best model the paradigm. Differences in each microstate maps feature (occurrence, duration, and coverage) between experimental phases were analyzed using a linear mixed model, revealing significant differences between microstates within the experiment phases. The temporal parameters of microstate C showed significantly higher levels in all experimental phases compared to other microstate maps, whereas microstate B displayed an opposite pattern, consistently showing lower levels. This study marks the first attempt to use microstate analysis during a dynamic task, demonstrating the decisive role of microstate C and, conversely, microstate B in differentiating the PC phases. These results demonstrate the use of microstate technique for studying temporal brain dynamics during PC with potential application in the early detection of neurodegenerative diseases.
Determinants of Public Oral Healthcare Utilization in Malaysia – A Multivariate Time-Series Analysis from 1992 to 2019
Authors: TAN Yeung R’ong , LOKMAN Najihah , MARHAZLINDA Jamaludin
Published: November 2024

Background
Oral healthcare utilization is a key indicator of population health, influenced by various socio-economic and demographic factors. In Malaysia, while public oral healthcare services have expanded, understanding the determinants of healthcare utilization remains crucial for ensuring equitable access. This study aims to identify the factors associated with public oral healthcare utilization among the overall population in Malaysia.
Methods
A multivariate time series analysis was conducted using secondary data from various sources, including the Ministry of Health’s Health Information Management System, Malaysian Dental Council, Department of Statistics Malaysia, and United Nations Food Balance Sheets, spanning the period from 1992 to 2019. Factors examined include literacy rate, sugar consumption, median household income, poverty incidence, GDP per capita, employment ratio, internet access, and access to dental care (measured by population per dental unit and per capita dentist). These variables were analyzed through multiple linear regression using EViews 12, with a focus on exploring predisposing, enabling, and need factors influencing oral healthcare utilization, based on Andersen’s model of healthcare service utilization.
Results
The analysis identified three statistically significant factors associated with public oral healthcare utilization. The employment ratio (β = 1.069, 95% CI [0.306, 1.832], p = 0.008) was positively associated with utilization, indicating that a 1% increase in the employment rate was associated with a 1.069% increase in public oral healthcare utilization. Conversely, the number of populations per available dental unit (β = -0.176, 95% CI [-0.275, -0.078], p = 0.001) had a negative association, where a 1% increase in the rate of change of dental units led to a 0.176% decrease in utilization. Internet usage (β = -0.011, 95% CI [-0.018, -0.003], p = 0.007) also had a slight but statistically significant negative effect on utilization.
Conclusions
Employment plays a critical role in enhancing access to public oral healthcare, while internet access and dental infrastructure trends may reflect alternative care-seeking behaviors. These findings underscore the need for targeted policies to address both economic and structural barriers to equitable oral healthcare access in Malaysia.
Non-ergodic ground motion model using small-magnitude ground motion data for a site-specific PSHA in Slovenia
Authors: Babič A. , Abrahamson N. A. , Lavrentiadis G. , Dolšek Matjaž
Published: November 2024

The seismic risk assessment of urban areas or critical infrastructures can be biased because the ground-motion models (GMM) implemented in a probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) rely on the ergodic assumption due to the lack of local strong ground-motion (GM) data even though local small-magnitude GM databases have become available in the last decades for many regions worldwide. To overcome this issue, a methodology for developing a non-ergodic GMM for a site-specific PSHA using a local small-magnitude GM database of limited size is introduced. The proposed methodology involves three main phases, which are presented along with their application to the southeast region in Slovenia. In the first phase, the local small-magnitude GM database is established. For the analyzed region in Slovenia, the database consists of 1078 GM recordings on the reference rock sites from 130 earthquakes with a moment magnitude range between 2.3 and 5.3. In the second phase, the non-ergodic GMM for effective amplitude spectrum (EAS) is modelled using Bayesian Gaussian process regression in connection with the Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm. The non-ergodic EAS GMM is defined by the mean regional difference from the ergodic backbone EAS GMM (the BA19 GMM) and the coefficients of the non-ergodic source, site and path adjustment terms. In the third phase, the samples of the net EAS GMM adjustments are realized for selected coordinates and frequencies to capture the effect of epistemic uncertainty and then converted to the pseudo-spectral acceleration (PSA) GMM adjustments using a random vibration theory procedure. The PSA adjustments act complementary to the CY14 GMM as the ergodic backbone GMM to form a full non-ergodic PSA GMM. A non-ergodic aleatory variability model is also developed for both EAS and PSA, considering that the aleatory standard deviation is magnitude-dependent. The developed non-ergodic GMM showed the orientation-dependence of the median GM and reduced aleatory standard deviation in comparison to the ergodic backbone GMM, which is also reflected in the steeper hazard curve for the site of interest.

This work introduces UstanceBR, a novel social media corpus in the Brazilian Portuguese Twitter/X domain for target-based stance prediction. The corpus comprises 86.8 k labelled stances towards selected target topics, and extensive network information about the users who published these stances on social media. In this article we describe the corpus data, and a number of usage examples in both in-domain and cross-target stance prediction based on text-and network-related information, which are intended to provide initial baseline results for future studies in the field.
Determinants of Under-five Child Mortality in Rwanda: Analysis of the 2019/20 Rwanda Demographic and Health Survey
Authors: NIYONSENGA Jean Marie Vianney , Andegirogish Amanuel Kidane , Mochama Monica
Published: November 2024

Background: Under-five child mortality (U5M) is a critical indicator of public health, particularly in regions with limited healthcare access. This study aimed to identify the determinants of U5M in Rwanda using data from the 2019/20 Rwanda Demographic and Health Survey (RDHS). Methods: A weighted sample of 8,324 Rwandan children under five was analyzed. Both bivariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to assess the relationships between U5M and a range of socioeconomic and healthcare-related factors. Results: The national under-five mortality rate (U5MR) was 38 deaths per 1,000 live births, with significant regional variations. The highest mortality rate was observed in the Northern region (44 deaths per 1,000 live births), while Kigali had the lowest rate (27 deaths per 1,000 live births). Key determinants of U5M included maternal employment (AOR = 2.23, 95% CI: 1.25-3.95), non-cesarean delivery (AOR = 1.84, 95% CI: 1.04-3.28), delayed breastfeeding initiation (AOR = 7.20, 95% CI: 4.93-12.72), multiple births (AOR = 2.19, 95% CI: 1.09-4.43), smaller-than-average birth size (AOR = 2.96, 95% CI: 1.83-4.78), and birth intervals shorter than 18 months (AOR = 1.91, 95% CI: 1.06-3.44). Conclusion: The findings highlight the need for targeted interventions, particularly in regions with higher mortality rates. Public health policies should focus on maternal and child health interventions, including breastfeeding promotion, maternal care, and addressing the needs of working mothers.

Published: November 2024

Islet transplantation is one of the potential therapies for diabetes or even its subsequent complications. We aim to scrutinize the effectiveness of biomaterial-cured islet transplantation in ameliorating diabetic liver. Forty-two male rats were assigned into six groups randomly; control, diabetic control, diabetic transplanted with treated or untreated islets by platelet-rich plasma, pancreatic islets homogenate, or combinations. Islets were incubated with biomaterials, then transplanted to diabetic rats. After 60 days, liver biochemical, oxidative stress, stereological, and histological indices were evaluated. Biomaterial-treated islet, especially biomaterial combinations, significantly decrease glucose and increase insulin levels, improve glucose tolerance impairment, improve diabetic-induced liver function, inflammation, and steatosis, significantly attenuated serum levels of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, triglyceride, cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, enhanced high-density lipoprotein, and increased hepatocyte density. Oxidative stress was remarkably declined, especially in biomaterial combination-treated islet. In histological observations, mononuclear infiltration and nuclear karyorrhexis were not seen in all islet transplanting groups. Transplantation of Biomaterials-treated islets protects the liver from histological and functional impairments induced by diabetes. These effects were associated with reducing glucose levels and oxidative stress in the liver. The presence of growth factors in the biomaterials can be assumed to be a potential protective factor for diabetic livers.
Subacute thyroiditis mimicking tuberculosis and lymphoma: case report and literature review.
Authors: Ngwengi Yembu , Nida Martine , Kamga Olive , Fonyam Vincent
Published: November 2024

Patient: Male, 41
Final diagnosis: Sub-acute thyroiditis
Symptoms: fever, night sweats and weight loss
Medication: aspirin, prednisolone
Clinical Procedure: -
Specialty: Endocrinology, Infectious Disease, Otolaryngology
Objective: Rare disease, challenging diagnosis
Background: Sub-acute thyroiditis (SAT) is a self-limiting condition caused by thyroid inflammation. It usually presents with fever, neck pain and symptoms of thyrotoxicosis. Atypical presentations without neck pain are rare and often lead to misdiagnosis.
Case Report: We report a case of atypical SAT that was initially misdiagnosed as lymphoma, with tuberculosis, painless sporadic thyroiditis and laryngeal malignancy being differentials. The patient, a 41-year-old male, presented with progressively worsening fevers, night sweats and weight loss, with thyroid cartilage thickening and tenderness on physical exam. He was diagnosed with SAT through Doppler ultrasound scanning of the thyroid gland, elevated inflammatory markers and the presence of antibody-negative hyperthyroidism on his biochemical thyroid screen. Symptomatic relief was provided with salicylate and prednisolone. The patient experienced transient asymptomatic hypothyroidism four months after disease onset which was not treated. Euthyroidism was achieved six months after symptom onset.
Conclusions: SAT is a rare disease thought to be post-viral in origin. It generally presents with fever, neck pain and signs of thyrotoxicosis, and evolves in three phases- a hyperthyroid, hypothyroid and euthyroid phase. Atypical SAT without neck pain is even rarer, so clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for thyroid disorders whenever symptoms suggestive of thyrotoxicosis are encountered.
An H3K14 ubiquitination-dependent SUV39H recruitment and activation is uniquely required for mammalian pericentromeric heterochromatin formation

Compartmentalization of eukaryotic genome into euchromatin and heterochromatin is of critical biological significance for chromatin organization, chromosome segregation, genome stability, and gene expression. Previous studies have suggested a self-templating pathway involving the reading and writing of H3K9 methylation by SUV39H as the core mechanism for heterochromatin formation and maintenance during cell division. Interestingly, in fission yeast the mammalian SUV39H homolog Clr4 forms a complex containing ubiquitin ligase Cul4, which catalyzes H3K14 mono-ubiquitination (H3K14ub) to promote heterochromatin formation. However, whether heterochromatin assembly in mammalian cells also involves a similar pathway is unknown. Here, we identify G2E3 as an H3K14ub-specific E3 ligase and demonstrate that G2E3 and its catalyzed H3K14ub are localized specifically in pericentromeric heterochromatin. Importantly, G2E3-catalyzed H3K14ub potentiates H3K9 trimethylation (H3K9me3) by SUV39H and is specifically required for SUV39H compartmentalization and H3K9me3 in pericentromeric heterochromatin, but not in the retrotransposon-associated heterochromatin. G2E3 is highly expressed in G2/M phase and associates with mitotic chromosomes in an RNA-dependent manner to catalyze H3K14ub, which is essential for subsequent sequential recruitment of SUV39H and HP1. Mechanistically, we find that the SUV39H chromodomain is a reader of dual H3K9me3 and H3K14ub modifications and SUV39H associates with pericentromeric heterochromatin predominantly via its H3K14ub-binding activity. Notably, loss of G2E3 severely impairs not only pericentromeric heterochromatin organization, but also results in aberrant accumulation of SUV39H and H3K9me3 in numerous euchromatin regions and a widespread transcriptional repression. Thus, our findings unravel the H3K14ub-dependent SUV39H compartmentalization as a unified mechanism of pericentromeric heterochromatin assembly and demonstrate that pericentromeric heterochromatin formation is required for proper SUV39H compartmentalization that is in turn essential for proper euchromatin compartmentalization and transcriptional regulation.

Published: November 2024

The escalating sophistication of cyber threats necessitates innovative detection methodologies to safeguard digital infrastructures. This research introduces a novel framework that integrates contextual behavior mapping with sequential dependency analysis, aiming to enhance the identification of both known and emerging ransomware variants. By employing probabilistic modeling and graph-based techniques, the proposed system effectively captures complex operational patterns inherent in ransomware activities. Extensive experiments conducted within controlled environments demonstrate the framework's high detection accuracy and low false positive rates, even when confronted with advanced evasion strategies. The scalability assessment reveals its capability to manage concurrent ransomware instances without significant performance degradation, showing its applicability in large-scale network infrastructures. Furthermore, the resource efficiency analysis indicates minimal computational overhead, facilitating seamless integration into existing security architectures. The robustness evaluation against polymorphic and metamorphic ransomware families highlights the framework's resilience, emphasizing the importance of adaptive detection mechanisms in contemporary cybersecurity landscapes. Collectively, these findings validate the proposed approach as a practical and efficient solution for ransomware detection, addressing critical challenges in modern security environments through innovative analytical methodologies and scalable design.
Ученые географические представления, конструирование и освоение пространства в Средние века
Authors: П. Готье-Дальше
Published: November 2024

В статье рассмотрено несколько примеров использования ученых географических представлений в разные периоды Средневековья. Эти представления, нередко восходящие к античной географии, использовались по самым разнообразным поводам: при определении национальных идентичностей, в церковных или политических мероприятиях по разграничению территорий, при утверждении действенного суверенитета над новообретенными территориями или символической власти над всем обитаемым миром, при разработке иконографических программ для церковных или светских монументальных сооружений, а также в проповедничестве. Показано, что, отнюдь не будучи чисто книжными явлениями, предназначенными для ученого меньшинства, представления о физической географии и о географии человека формировали контексты для осмысления и для действия в различных практических областях.

О «потерявшем ориентацию» авторе «Саги о Кнютлингах»
Authors: Т.Н. Джаксон
Published: November 2024

Расположенная на полуострове Ютландия и большом числе островов Балтийского моря, Дания удивительно четко вписана в сетку координат север-юг, запад-восток. Однако, согласно «Саге о Кнютлингах», записанной в середине XIII в. и рисующей датскую историю с X до начала XIII в., всё пространство в пределах Дании повернуто так, словно некий квадратик извлекли, как в пазле, из географической карты и развернули на 90o против часовой стрелки, так что западная часть Дании, Ютландия, стала ее южной частью, а более восточные острова стали северными. Совокупный анализ материала источников приводит к выводу, что в картине мира древних германцев присутствовало представление о том, что датские земли делились на южные и северные, что южная область – это Ютландия, а северная – Фюн, Зеландия и Сконе (которая до середины XVII в. принадлежала Дании). В данной статье автор формулирует свое отношение к теории древнескандинавской «смещенной ориентации» и предлагает гипотезу, объясняющую, как эта географическая идея могла проникнуть в «Сагу о Кнютлингах».

«Линия Феодосия I»: Историческая география в современной албанской общественно-политической публицистике
Authors: А. Улунян
Published: November 2024

Европейский вектор внешнеполитической ориентации албанского общества усилил общенациональную дискуссию об исторических причинах сложившихся различий между Западом и Востоком, которые повлияли на общественно-политическое и экономическое развитие Албании. Одним из элементов актуализации так называемой политической «архаики» было обращение к фактору исторической географии — произошедшему в 395 г. по завещанию императора Римской империи Феодосия I разделению его государства на западную и восточную часть, куда и вошла Албания. Проведение «линии Феодосия» обсуждается в современной албанской общественно-политической публицистике с целью определения места и роли исторического наследия Византийской и Османской империй, христианства и ислама, степени близости албанцев к Европе для обоснования или, наоборот, критики историко-географического аргумента в общенациональном дискурсе. Соседство в нем «линии Феодосия» с получившей распространение в кругах лингвистов и этнологов «линией Иречека», разделившей, по мнению этого чешского ученого конца XIX – начала ХХ в., Балканы на зоны влияния романоязычного и грекоязычного миров, а также апелляция к исторической роли Эгнатиевой дороги, проходившей на Балканах по линии, близкой к двум предыдущим, лишь подчеркивает значение «архаики» в форме политической географии для геопространственного конструирования новейшего времени.

Published: November 2024

Авторы анализируют витражи англиканской часовни Эммануэль колледжа Кембриджского университета, созданные в честь трехсотлетия колледжа в 1884 г. Вначале в центре внимания находился портрет английского богослова Дж. Колета (1467–1519). Портрет представляет собой визуализацию важнейших биографических данных о герое и отражение исторической памяти о нем. Однако данный витраж оказался частью парного портрета Дж. Колета и английского протестантского мыслителя У. Тиндела (1494–1536). Двойной портрет может быть интерпретирован как визуальная репрезентация протестантского направления английской историографии Тюдоровской Реформации. При открытии панорамной витражной композиции из шестнадцати фигур, занимающей все восемь окон часовни, возникает третий образ – Широкой церкви, одного из направлений англиканства викторианской эпохи. Настоящее исследование подтверждает, что само видение – «оптика взгляда» – является проблемой, нуждающейся в изучении.

The authors analyze the stained-glass windows in the chapel of Emmanuel College, University of Cambridge, completed in honor of the College’ s tercentenary in 1884. At first the study was focused on the portrait of the English theologian John Colet (1467–1519). Portrait is a visualization of the most important biographical data about the hero and the reflection of the historical memory about him. However, this stained-glass panel turned out to be the part of companion portrait of J. Colet and English Protestant thinker W. Tyndale (1494–1536). This portrait can be interpreted as a visual representation of the Protestant English historiography of Tudor Reformation. When we discovered a panoramic stained-glass composition that included sixteen figures in all eight windows of the chapel, a new image appeared. It is the image of Broad Church – latitudinarian churchmanship in the Victorian Anglicanism. The article confirms that this vision needs to be studied.

В статье представлены некоторые подходы к изучению истории детства через изучение истории городского пространства. В центре внимания находится процесс конструирования отдельных «детских локусов» в пространстве советского города первого послеоктябрьского десятилетия и вписывания ребенка в новый городской пространственный контекст. Особый акцент сделан на знаково-символических проектах, выполненных в духе романтического революционаризма тех лет и носящих преимущественно «бумажный» характер. Проанализирована специфика репрезентации нового советского города в детской целевой аудитории − на страницах журнала «Мурзилка» середины 1920-х гг.

This article presents some of the approaches to the childhood history research through the urban history studies. Special attention is devoted to the process of special “children’s loci” constructing in Soviet urban space during the first post-October decade and to the child’s implementation into the new urban space context. The author focuses on symbolic projects executed in the romantic revolutionary style of those years, which usually were of the “paper” character. Specificity of the new Soviet city representation in the children’s target audience is analyzed using the materials published in Murzilka in the midst of the 1920s.
“MEMORIA VAS MULTORUM CAPAX” MEMORIA AS A VESSEL OF JESUIT HISTORY,ACTION, AND IDENTITY
Authors: P. Shore
Published: November 2024

During the 230 years before their suppression in 1773, the Jesuits developed a culture with memoria as a key foundation. In Jesuit schools memoria cultivated through exercises provided students access to concepts from which they constructed an understanding of ancient (and by the mid-eighteenth century more recent) history. In Jesuit culture, memoria provided access to “Jesuit time”, in which narratives of Jesuit martyrdoms were recalled backwards from the moment of martyrdom to earlier points in the martyr's life. Such recollections provided guideposts for spiritual life, helped create a remembered common history, and were enshrined in writings and rituals that sustained the collective identity of the widely dispersed Jesuits and shaped such innovations as Matteo Ricci’s “Memory Palace”.

В течение 230 лет до роспуска ордена в 1773 г. иезуиты сформировали культуру, в основе которой была memoria. В иезуитских школах memoria культивировалась благодаря занятиям, предоставлявшим студентам доступ к идеям, из которых те выстраивали свою картину античной (а к середине XVIII в. и недавней) истории. В культуре иезуитов memoria предоставляла доступ ко «времени иезуитов», в котором нарративы мученичества иезуитов выстраивались в обратном порядке, от мученичества к более ранним событиям жизни мученика. Такие повествования создавали указания для духовной жизни и общую историю; они были запечатлены в сочинениях и ритуалах, питавших коллективную идентичность иезуитов, разбросанных по всему миру, и порождали такие новшества, как «Дворец памяти» Маттео Риччи.

В статье анализируется научное наследие выдающегося русского и американского ученого М.И. Ростовцева, известного своей интерпретацией социально-экономичес-кой истории античного мира, а также одного из его учеников – Кларка Хопкинса. Их труды, посвященные проблеме происхождения ряда религиозных культов в древней Пальмире, рассматриваются в тесной связи с вопросом о теоретико-методо-логических основаниях научной школы Ростовцева, созданной им в США. Автор приходит к выводу, что фундаментом интеллектуального творчества этой группы историков послужила существенно модифицированная ими теория диффузионизма.

In the article the scholarly heritage of the distinguished Russian and American historian M.I. Rostovtzeff, widely known for his interpretation of the social and economic history of the ancient world, is analyzed from the historiographic viewpoint, as well as that of one of his students – Clark Hopkins. The author examines their works, dedicated to the problem of the origins of religious cults in ancient Palmyra, in a close connection with the question of the theoretical and methodological basis of the scientific school M.I. Rostovtzeff had founded in the USA. The conclusion is that the intellectual foundation of this scholarly group was the diffusionism theory majorly modified by its representatives.
ЕРЕТИКИ И ВЛАСТЬ: СОЦИАЛЬНЫЕ «ТАКТИКИ»БОЛГАРСКИХ БОГОМИЛОВ (Х ВЕК)
Authors:  С.  Егоров
Published: November 2024

В статье исследуются социальные практики сопротивления болгарских богомилов государственной и церковной властям. Автор анализирует формы существования власти в Первом Болгарском царстве Х в. («стратегии») и формы сопротивления им, отражённые в текстах последователей и противников богомильской ереси («тактики»). Делается вывод о взаимосвязи телесного (физического) характера власти и отрицания телесности богомилами в рамках дуалистического мировоззрения, иными словами: взаимосвязи отражённой в текстах мировоззренческой (символической) системы и социальных практик.

The author studies Bulgarian Bogomils’ social practices of resistance to state and church authorities. The author analyses different forms of power’s existing in First Bulgarian Empire in Xth century (“strategies”) and forms of resistance to them (“tactics”), represented in texts of followers and opponents of the Bogomils’ heresy. The author concludes that corporeal (physical) nature of power is strongly connected to the Bogomils’ rejection of corporeality within the framework of dualistic worldview, in other words: that the worldview (symbolical) structure, as it is represented in texts, is strongly connected to social practices.

Мемуары известного историка-эмигранта Г.В. Вернадского хранятся в Бахметьевском архиве русской и восточноевропейской истории и культуры Колумбийского университета в Нью-Йорке. В публикуемых воспоминаниях о «пражском периоде» своей жизни он уделял основное внимание преподаванию на Русском юридическом факультете в Праге и сотрудничеству с коллегами по Семинарию Н.П. Кондакова. Нежелание подробно писать о евразийском движении, в которое он был вовлечен в то время, косвенно свидетельствует о его разочаровании в конце жизни в евразийской исторической концепции.

The memoirs of the prominent Russian émigré historian George Vernadsky are stored in the Bakhmeteff archive of Russian and East European history and culture of Columbia University in NYC. In the published part, which represented his life in Prague (1922–1927), he paid attention to his teaching and research activity as a member of the Russian Law Department as well as of the Seminarium Kondakovianum. The memoirist gives vivid characteristics to his former colleagues. His reluctance to give a detailed description of the Eurasian movement, in which he participated at that time, indirectly indicates that he had become disillusioned with the Eurasian historical doctrine by the end of his life.

Геродот в своем труде имплицитно предостерегал, что Афины, победившие восточную варварскую империю, рискуют превратиться в некое ее подобие, а это чревато опасностями и даже крахом. Предостережение оказалось пророческим: на протяжении V в. до н.э. в Афинском морском союзе наблюдалась постепенная аккумуляция латентного варварства. В статье рассматриваются некоторые релевантные эпизоды из политических биографий ведущих афинских государственных деятелей этого столетия: Фемистокла, Кимона, Перикла, Клеона, Алкивиада. Результат подобного развития событий был действительно плачевен: в период Пелопоннесской войны латентная варваризация социума являлась уже очевидной, и это стало одной из причин, обусловивших поражение Афин и крушение реализовывавшегося в них «великого проекта».

In the 5th century B.C. Athens, as a result of its successes in the Greco-Persian Wars, strengthened unprecedentedly and started pretending leadership in Greece, having begun struggle against Sparta for hegemony. Herodotus in his treatise warned implicitly that Athens, having defeated the Eastern barbarian empire, was risking to change into a kind of it, and that could lead to dangers and even collapse. The warning proved to be prophetic: during the 5th century B.C., in the Athenian League there was manifest gradual accumulation of latent barbarity. The article deals with some relevant episodes from political biographies of leading Athenian statesman of that century: Themistocles, Cimon, Pericles, Cleon, Alcibiades. The result of such developments was really pitiful: during the Peloponnesian War, latent barbarization of the society was already clear, and it was one of the causes, which conditioned Athens’ defeat and crash of the “Great Project” that was in realization there.
«И МАЛЬЧИКИ КРОВАВЫЕ В ГЛАЗАХ... И РАД БЕЖАТЬ, ДА НЕКУДА... УЖАСНО!»: СЦЕНА ДЕТОУБИЙСТВА И ЛЮДОЕДСТВА В РОМАНЕ ЛОЛЛИАНА «ФИНИКИЙСКИЕ ИСТОРИИ»

Статья посвящена особому «языку» и «поведенческому репертуару» латентного варварства в художественной литературе Рима эпохи Империи на примере малоизвестного в отечественном антиковедении романа Лоллиана «Финикийские истории» (II в. н.э.). Анализируя фрагмент В1 со сценой инфантицида и антропофагии, автор ставит вопрос о мотивах включения его в текст Лоллианом и об отношении автора и его аудитории к таким свидетельствам. Автор показывает, что в романе, содержащем весь набор сюжетов и образов для передачи чуж(д)ой культуры «варварского Востока», имеет место инверсия. Автор аргументирует это тем, что творцы таких «бестселлеров», описывая шокирующие сцены, volens-nolens способствовали пропаганде «цивилизованной» нетерпимости и демонстрировали тот тип латентного варварства, которое идеологически разрушало государство изнутри.

The article examines the specific «language» and the «behavioral paradigm» of the «latent barbarism» in Roman literature during the imperial period, with the focus on Lollianus’s Phoenician Tales (2nd cent. C.E.), which has not yet received any significant attention in Russian scholarship. While analyzing the episode of infanticide and cannibalism in the fragment B.1, the author raises the questions about Lollianus’s rationale for including it in the text, and about the attitude of Lollianus and his audience to such evidence. The author explains the inclusion of this episode as a case of inversion, which fits the novel that depicts an alien culture by conveying a whole range of images and stereotypes of the «eastern barbarism». The author argues that, like other authors of such popular «bestsellers», Lollianus offered these outrageous scenes both reinforcing «civilized intolerance» and displaying the type of «latent barbarism» that objectively corrupted Roman ideology.
ПРИЕМЫ ИМИТАЦИИ КАК ВОПЛОЩЕНИЕ МЕХАНИЗМОВ ЛАТЕНТНОГО ВАРВАРСТВА: ТРИ «ПОРТРЕТА» ПРАВИТЕЛЕЙ ВАРВАРОВ

Published: November 2024

Статья посвящена некоторым особенностям искусства варваров на рубеже Античности и Средневековья. Варвары-мастера и варвары-заказчики остро ощущали необходимость осмысления и передачи в языке искусства стремительно меняющейся реальности. Для воплощения новых реалий мастера-варвары обращались к языку выражения античного искусства. Это создавало ситуацию латентного варварства, воплощавшегося в сложных имитационных приемах и подражательных механизмах, а в реальной практике искусства — в системе образец/его имитация. Механизмы латентного варварства нашли яркое выражение в первых дошедших изображениях варварских правителей, относящихся к V-VI вв. В данной статье автор обращается к изображениям варварских правителей Алариха II, Теодориха II и Хильдерика I, связанным с перстнями-печатками.

The article is devoted to some specificities of the art of barbarians at the turn of Antiquity and the Middle ages. Barbarians masters and barbarians customers keenly felt the need for understanding and transmission in the language of art rapidly changing reality. For the realization of new realities masters of barbarians turned to the language of the expression of the antique art. That created the situation of the latent barbarity, embodied in complex simulation techniques and imitative mechanisms, and in a real practice of art — in the system sample/imitation. The mechanisms of latent barbarity expressed vividly in the first extant images of barbarian rulers from the V-VI centuries. In this article the author refers to the images of the barbaric rulers of Alaric II, Theodoric II and Childeric I associated with signet rings.
АРНОБИЙ ПРОТИВ ВАРВАРСТВА ЯЗЫЧНИКОВ: ВОЗВРАТНЫЙ УДАР
Authors: И.В. ХОРЬКОВА
Published: November 2024

В центре внимания статьи — апологетическое сочинение африканского ритора кон. III ‑ нач. IV вв. н.э. Арнобия «Против язычников». Апология была написана Арнобием после принятия им христианства для обоснования своих взглядов и содержит обширный материал по греко-римскому язычеству. Известно негативное отношение языческого населения к распространению христианства в Римской империи. Зачастую последователи новой религии объявлялись суеверными и безграмотными варварами, скудоумными неучами, не знакомыми с достижениями античной философии и риторическими приемами. Арнобий, по сведениям Иеронима Стридонского, блестяще образованный учитель риторики из города Сикка. Используя все свои познания по философии, риторике и греко-римскому пантеону, Арнобий бьет противника его же оружием, обличая в варварстве религиозные представления язычников. Такой прием носит в неориторике название «возвратный удар» или «принцип бумеранга».

The article focuses on the apologetic composition of the African rhetorician of the 3rd — 4th centuries AD Arnobius “Adversus nationes”. The apology was written by Arnobius after he adopted Christianity to substantiate his views and contains extensive material on Greco-Roman paganism. The negative attitude of the pagan population towards the spread of Christianity in the Roman Empire is known. Often the followers of the new religion were declared superstitious and illiterate barbarians, not familiar with the achievements of ancient philosophy and rhetoric. Arnobius, according to Hieronymus of Stridon, is a brilliantly educated rhetoric teacher from Sicca Veneria. Using all his knowledge of philosophy, rhetoric and the Greco-Roman pantheon, Arnobius hits the enemy with his own weapons, exposing the barbarism of pagan religious ideas. Such a technique is called in neo-rhetoric “recoil strike” or “boomerang principle”.

This paper presents the fatigue study (uniaxial fatigue and multiaxial fatigue) of mooring chains for a floating wind turbine (FWT). The operating principle of a floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) and general information on uniaxial and multiaxial fatigue are presented, together with a reminder of the standards governing fatigue in the offshore sector. Uniaxial fatigue damage and service life calculations are carried out for various loading conditions and sea states. The finite element method is carried out using ANSYS software in order to estimate the best mapping of stresses and strains on the structure of the mooring chain. Finally, a simulation was also carried out using usingMatlab software to calculate the damage and multiaxial fatigue life. Comparison of the two analyses shows that uniaxial fatigue analysis minimises long-term damage and that multiaxial fatigue should be preferred for estimating the durability of offshore structures under extreme loading.

A Ramayana of Her Own: Reading Chandrabati’s Ramayana through a Gendered Perspective
Authors:   Assistant Professor, Department of English, Government General Degree College, Lalgarh, India, Chakraborty Bisweswar
Published: November 2024

Composed in the late 16th century, the Bengali woman poet Chandrabati’s Ramayana retells the Ramkatha stories with a distinctive female voice that narrates the familiar story of women’s suffering rather than of masculine heroism. Belonging to the Bengali genre of folk narratives variously known as pala gaan, this version of the Ramayana stands in clear affinity with the several narratives about women’s tragic lives that comprise a distinct type of pala literature. It centralizes Sita’s agonizing experiences. Sita’s character becomes the primary narrative tool through which Chandrabati’s verse narrative subverts the traditional patriarchal representation of her character. She (Chandrabati) challenges the mythology from the point of view of the gendered subaltern and makes Sita occupy the centre stage pushing back Rama to the margin.
Written with a unique narrative technique this verse narrative is told through a “baromasi” – a woman’s plaintive refrain about everyday sorrows that venture into mythical intertextualities, Chandrabati questions the woman-centric point of view to understand, analyze, and interpret religion and remains critical of the dominant male ideology. The narrative authority of the female voice becomes even more assertive with the addition of the poet’s own life story, which serves to set this revision of the customary Ramkatha within a discourse on women’s self-perception. The paper intends to explore how a woman’s narrative raises crucial questions regarding wifehood, motherhood, the female psyche, the various forms of oppression that women go through, and the overall position of women in a male-dominated society. It is a woman’s text, an atypical refashioning of the Ramayana story which starts with a river in Sita’s village and her miraculous birth. While maintaining some of the basic plot points, Chandrabati’s short, humble Ramayana in Bangla takes artistic liberties that few ‘Ramayanas’ of the time had taken.
