Spanking and Young Childrens Socioemotional Development in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
Authors: Pace Garrett Todd , Lee Shawna J. , Grogan-Kaylor Andrew
Published: November 2018

Spanking is one of the most common forms of child discipline used by parents around the world. Research on children in high-income countries has shown that parental spanking is associated with adverse child outcomes, yet less is known about how spanking is related to child well-being in low- and middle-income countries. This study uses data from 215,885 children in 62 countries from the fourth and fifth rounds of UNICEF’s Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS) to examine the relationship between spanking and child well-being. In this large international sample which includes data from nearly one-third of the world’s countries, 43% of children were spanked, or resided in a household where another child was spanked, in the past month. Results from multilevel models show that reports of spanking of children in the household were associated with lower scores on a 3-item socioemotional development index among 3- and 4-year-old children. Country-level results from the multilevel model showed 59 countries (95%) had a negative relationship between spanking and socioemotional development and 3 countries (5%) had a null relationship. Spanking was not associated with higher socioemotional development for children in any country. While the cross-sectional association between spanking and socioemotional development is small, findings suggest that spanking may be harmful for children on a more global scale than was previously known.

Total-Cholesterol(TC) to HDL-Cholesterol(HDL-C) ratio in athletes is well-known better than sedentary people. However, there is lack of information about comparison of TC/HDL-C in different groups of cyclists based on cycling touring characteristics and anthropometry parameters. This study was to compare TC/HDL-C ratio among groups based on type of tour participated in cyclists population.Eighty-eight participants were recruited in this cross-sectional study. Mean differences of parameters between groups analyzed by One-Way Anova test and independent t-test, while multivariate analyses was done by binary logistic-regression. P value <0.05 was considered to statistical significance.TC/HDL-C ratio in all groups were less than 4.5. There is no differences of TC-levels (NC240K: 216.6±55.04, TdB140K: 208.1±27.13, TdB100K: 203.1±31.95; p=0.427). But there is significantly different of HDL-C (NC240K: 68.9±19.09, TdB140K: 52.1±13.9, TdB100K: 53.6±12.45; p=0.0001) and TC/HDL-C ratio (NC240K: 3.3±1.12, TdB140K: 4.2±1.07, TdB100K: 4.0±1.06; p=0.007). Based on TC/HDL ratio (≥4 or <4) groups, there were differences of weight, BMI, waist-circumference, hip-circumference and type of cycling-touring (p<0.05). Finally BMI and type of cycling-touring were the most-influenced factor.Long-distance cyclists have a synergistic effect of lipid profile and anthropometry measurements, and the heavier cycling touring participated that represent cycling training habits tend to have lower TC/HDL ratio(< 4).

Published: November 2018

Salah satu kendala utama pengembangan ekonomi wilayah Gedangsari adalah akses terhadap modal. Pada dasarnya kendala ini sangat umum dialami oleh masyarakat di wilayah pedesaan. Masyarakat pedesaan masih mengandalkan modal sendiri, pinjam ke orang terdekat atau bahkan seringkali rentenir untuk memulai suatu aktifitas ekonomi (usaha). Perkembangan usaha terhambat bahkan hancur karena permasalahan modal dan pemasaran. Kondisi ini diperparah kurangnya pemahaman masyarakat pedesaan terhadap sumber-sumber pembiayaan lain yang lebih cocok baik dari segi kapasitas maupun risiko. Banyak penelitian mengungkapkan, koperasi sebagai lembaga keuangan mikro cukup tepat untuk wilayah pedesaaan. Selain karena pengurusan dan modal yang relatif mudah dan kecil, koperasi sebagai lembaga keuangan berbasis keanggotaan selaras dengan kondisi sosial masyarakat pedesaan yang mengutamakan kebersamaan dan kekeluargaan. Sampai saat ini banyak koperasi yang berdiri sampai tingkat desa namum kurang dikelola dengan baik. Hal ini berakibat pada kurangnya perannya koperasi dalam usaha mensejahterakan masyarakat. Apabila masyarakat dapat mengelola koperasi dengan baik, tentu saja akan meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat pedesaan. Oleh karena itu perlu adanya pemahaman oleh masyarakat tentang bagaimana mengoptimalkan pengeloaan koperasi yang telah ada sehingga dapat mengingkatkan fungsi dan peran koperasi dalam usaha mensejahterakan masyarakat terutama di Kecamatan Gedangsari. Sasaran dari kegiatan ini adalah masyarakat Kecamatan Gedangsari. Tujuan dari kegiatan ini adalah masyarakat memiliki motivasi untuk berkoperasi, masyarakat mampu menggandeng koperasi untuk pengembangan dan peningkatan hasil atau produk usahanya dan masyarakat dapat mengelola koperasi dengan baik dalam upaya meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat pedesaan. Hasil dari pelatihan ini masyarakat memiliki pemahaman tentang bagaimana mengoptimalkan pengelolaan koperasi yang telah ada sehingga dapat meningkatkan fungsi dan peran koperasi dalam usaha mensejahterakan masyarakat terutama di Kecamatan Gedangsari serta memiliki pengetahuan dan ketrampilan dalam pendirian badan hukum koperasi dan melakukan perhitungan pinjaman pada lembaga keuangan.

ABSTRACTThis study revealed that friendly schools are able to develop the potential of students with special needs as optimally as possible from a variety of students' diversity. Therefore, "all children" of school age without exception should receive education services at the school that closed to their place of residence. This study used a descriptive study with a qualitative approach that was related to the objective conditions of the students with special needs in inclusive schools who attended Basic Education. Furthermore, this research was designed with developmental research because it began by describing the initial data from the observation in the field, analyzing the data based on the literature review, and formulating the friendly inclusive environment service model for the Basic Education level. The results stated that there were 5140 students with special needs in West Sumatra Education Office (the year 2016) with details: 4358 elementary, 578 secondary, 204 high schools / vocational high schools. Thus, 2570 special guidance teachers were needed to handle two children for each. A friendly inclusive learning environment was expected to develop the potential of the students with special needs according to their needs and abilities.

Fossils reveal long-term continuous and parallel innovation in the sacro-caudo-pelvic complex of the highly aquatic pipid frogs
Authors: Gómez Raúl Orencio , Pérez-Ben Celeste
Published: November 2018

Within the already peculiar Bauplan of anurans, pipid frogs have evolved an array of bizarre features that are commonly linked to their highly aquatic lifestyle. Among the latter, there are several distinctive sacro-caudo-pelvic features shared by extant pipids, which have been regarded as evolutionary novelties taking part of a specialized fore-aft-sliding ilio-sacral joint. Pipids and their kin have a rich fossil record documenting 130 million years of uninterrupted evolution in aquatic environments, which, along with our current understanding of their phylogeny and recently available musculoskeletal data, allows us to inquire on the patterns and processes that have led to their distinctive sacro-caudo-pelvic system with a deep-time perspective. Here, we take a phylomorphospace approach based on discrete character matrices and a scaffold tree derived from recent studies, making comparisons of morphospace occupation between pipids and other anurans, and morphospace occupation, disparity, levels of homoplasy, and shared evolving characters between different groups and/or over time across the pipid lineage. In doing so, we focus on trends of morphological diversification and discuss the potential role that ecological and developmental constraints might have had in driving the evolution of the sacro-caudo-pelvic complex of pipid frogs. Our main findings reveal a pattern of continuous and parallel innovation early in the history of pipids followed by arrested evolution towards the Recent. The latter, in turn, is mirrored by rampant homoplasy in the ilio-sacral sliding joint among extant pipid frogs. This study highlights the importance of fossils in revealing macroevolutionary patterns that will be otherwise veiled based on neontological data alone.
Estimating patient-specific treatment advantages in the ‘Treatment for Adolescents with Depression Study’

Published: November 2018

The ‘Treatment for Adolescents with Depression Study’ (TADS, ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier: NCT00006286) was a cornerstone, randomized controlled trial evaluating the effectiveness of standard treatment options for major depression in adolescents. Whereas previous TADS analyses examined primarily effect modifications of treatment-placebo differences by various patient characteristics, less is known about the modification of inter-treatment differences, and hence, patient characteristics that might guide treatment selection. We sought to fill this gap by estimating patient-specific inter-treatment differences as a function of patients’ baseline characteristics. We did so by applying the ‘model-based random forest’, a recently-introduced machine learning-based method for evaluating effect heterogeneity that allows for the estimation of patient-specific treatment effects as a function of arbitrary baseline characteristics. Treatment conditions were cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) alone, fluoxetine (FLX) alone, and the combination of CBT and fluoxetine (COMB). All inter-treatment differences (CBT vs. FLX; CBT vs. COMB; FLX vs. COMB) were evaluated across 23 potential effect modifiers extracted from previous studies. Overall, FLX was superior to CBT, while COMB was superior to both CBT and FLX. Evidence for effect heterogeneity was found for the CBT-FLX difference and the FLX-COMB difference, but not for the CBT-COMB difference. Baseline depression severity modified the CBT-FLX difference; whereas baseline depression severity, patients’ treatment expectations, and childhood trauma modified the FLX-COMB difference. All modifications were quantitative rather than qualitative, however, meaning that the differences varied only in magnitude, but not direction. These findings imply that combining CBT with fluoxetine may be superior to either therapy used alone across a broad range of patients.

Forgoing Food Assistance out of Fear: Simulating the Child Poverty Impact of a Making SNAP a Legal Liability for Immigrants
Authors: Laird Jennifer , Santelli Isaac , Waldfogel Jane , Wimer Christopher
Published: November 2018

"Public charge," a term used by U.S. immigration officials for more than 100 years, refers to a person who relies on, or is likely to rely on, public assistance at the government's expense. Foreign-born individuals who are deemed at high risk of becoming a public charge can be denied green cards; those outside of the U.S. can be denied entry. Current public charge policy largely applies to cash benefits. The Department of Homeland Security has proposed a regulation that will allow officials to consider the take-up risk of both cash and non-cash benefits when making public charge determinations. According to Current Population Survey (CPS) data, nearly 90% of children with immigrant parents are U.S.-born and therefore eligible for public benefits. Most of these children live in a household with at least one non-citizen. Using CPS data, we examine the potential child poverty impact of the proposed DHS public charge regulation. Our simulation results show that, depending on the chilling effect, up to 3 million U.S. citizen children could lose access to SNAP as a result of the new public charge regulation.
Urban Commons as Property Experiment: Mapping Chicago's Farms and Gardens
Authors: Ela Nate
Published: November 2018

Over the past decade, scholars of law and geography have been foraging in America’s cities, hunting for the commons. Along the way, a new common sense has cropped up, which takes urban farms and community gardens as prototypical examples of the urban commons. Farm fields and garden plots produce not only vegetables, the argument goes, but also opportunities for residents to access and use land as a shared, decommodified resource. As both social practice and emergent institutional reality, such urban commons challenge and are challenged by the logics of public and private property that dominate our cities’ legal landscapes.This Article, rather than assuming that urban farms and gardens are examples of the urban commons, poses this as a question. Are they in fact cases of commons governance? And if so, how do people bring this about? I explore these questions from the ground up, through a socio-legal mapping of how people have gained access to and sought to govern land for a community garden and an urban farm in two neighborhoods on Chicago’s South Side. This mapping suggests that we should conceive of urban farms and gardens as sites where people experiment with the rules, norms, and forms of property that govern urban land. Municipal policies can promote property experiments that seek to treat urban land as a shared community resource.

Street-Level Bureaucrats und Intermediäre: Konflikt oder Symbiose?
Authors: Döring Matthias , Löbel Stephan
Published: November 2018

Der Artikel untersucht die Beziehung zwischen Verwaltung und Inter-mediären, also von Klienten beauftragte Dritte, die die Interaktion mit den Verwaltungen übernehmen. Hierbei wird die ambivalente Rolle diskutiert, die diese Intermediäre im Zusammenwirken mit den street-level bureaucrats einnehmen. So kann der Einsatz von Intermediären auch für Verwaltungen von Vorteil sein, um schnelle und effiziente Verwaltungsprozesse abwickeln zu können. Jedoch sind Intermedi-äre letztendlich privatwirtschaftlich orientiert und von den Antrags-stellern engagiert, was einen Zielkonflikt zur Folge haben kann. Eine Erörterung auf Basis von Theorie und Literatur bildet zwei zentrale Faktoren heraus, die diese Interaktion beeinflussen: das Selbstbild der street-level bureaucrats sowie das Vertrauen in den Intermediär. Auf Basis einer vergleichenden Fallstudie zweier verschiedener Poli-tikfelder werden diese theoretischen Überlegungen mit empirischen Erkenntnissen bekräftigt.

Type 2 branchial cleft anomalies are the most common cause of lateral neck swelling. We report two cases of type 2 branchial cleft anomalies. The first case is branchial cleft cyst and the second one is branchial fistula. Both cases were managed surgically. The post operative outcomes were uneventful. Second branchial cleft anomalies are the most common branchial anomalies. Branchial cysts are more common than sinuses and branchial fistulae are extremely rare. There is no gender predilection. The location, clinical symptoms and imaging findings aid in the diagnosis of this condition. Surgical excision is the mainstay of treatment.Keywords: branchial cleft; branchial cyst; branchial fistula.

The wastewater resistome: Lurking antibiotic resistance in the environment
Authors: Joshi Dev Raj
Published: November 2018

Antibiotic resistant bacteria and their resistance determinants have been frequently reported in all types of environments especially in water systems. The collection of antibiotic resistant genes and precursors in host bacteria occupying wastewater environment represents wastewater resistome. This resistome is highly potential to resist almost all types of antibiotics exposed to the environment. Since antimicrobial resistance could be transferred from environmental bacteria to clinical or veterinary pathogens and vice versa, wastewaters systems are spawning grounds for global antibiotic resistance, with potentially serious infection consequences for human and animals. Although the sub-lethal dose of antibiotics is key stimulating factor, however, physiological and environmental stress on bacteria due to various factors including non-antibiotic antimicrobials, organic pollutants like PAHs, chlorinated phenols and heavy metals may also drive the enrichment of antibiotic resistance genes in the environment. Although actual key mechanisms for survival of antibiotic resistance bacteria, proliferation and dissemination of such genes in wastewater are still elusive, this mini review briefly describes environmental resistome, possible drivers and dissemination paths of resistance genes in wastewater systems. Considering the hazards, efficient wastewater treatment technologies are needed to be developed for mitigation of antibiotic resistance bacteria and resistance genes.

O mercado de plantas medicinais no Brasil, é composto por farmácias, drogarias e ervanarias, e atualmente sem mínima regulamentação em feiras-livres, não estando livre de adulteração e/ou confusão de plantas e espécies. No comércio de plantas as Rubiáceas são habitualmente usadas como adulterantes da Cordia salicifolia Cham. A Casearia sylvestris (guaçatonga) é utilizada como adulterante da Cordia salicifolia (porangaba), a qual é comercializada com suposta ação emagrecedora, aumentando desta forma, a ação antrópica sobre a espécie. No presente trabalho são apresentadas as principais características botânicas, composição química, atividade biológica e terapêutica, além dos usos populares das plantas Casearia sylvestris e Cordia salicifolia. Também é apresentada a segurança de uso das duas plantas em questão. Existem problemas no uso de uma ou de outra planta, tendo-se o agravante do emprego da Casearia sylvestris como adulterante da Cordia salicifolia, a qual é utilizada com suposta ação emagrecedora, existindo controvérsias da sua eficácia para esse fim. A sustentabilidade da fitoterapia depende, dentre outros fatores, da manutenção de um mínimo de qualidade dos produtos, sem criar falsas expectativas, o surgimento de efeitos adversos inesperados e a não produção de efeitos terapêuticos necessários, um conjunto de problemas que acaba depondo contra o próprio mercado de fitoterápicos.

O uso de vegetais com propósito de utilização como medicamentos tem origens remotas na história do homem, no Brasil remonta ao período de pré-colonização, com os nativos habitantes do território somados às contribuições de colonizadores e escravos africanos e expandindo seu nível de aplicação atualmente, por ser uma fonte de matérias-primas facilmente obtidas e pela grande diversidade biológica das espécies vegetais presentes no território nacional. Antes do uso medicamentoso, é necessário preparar a planta e realizar estudos para elucidar a presença e ação dos metabólitos secundários que possuem efeitos biológicos e assim realizar extrações para verificar se há a presença de novos metabólitos secundários e a cromatografia nas suas várias frentes tem sido amplamente aplicada nesta linha de estudo, onde há a possibilidade de se realizar desde a triagem por atividades biológicas de interesse, como por exemplo, cromatografia em camada delgada com verificação da atividade inibitória em microrganismos ou antioxidantes até a classificação por classe e estrutura molecular, através de técnicas mais avançadas, mas já consolidadas, como cromatografia de alto desempenho, cromatografia gasosa e as abordagens das três técnicas hifenizadas com espectroscopia de massas, na qual é possível criar bancos de dados complexos contendo os metabolomas de cada espécie investigada. No entanto, não há trabalho em que a convergência de todas essas técnicas ocorra com a exposição dos principais avanços e perspectivas.
DOLOKHOV, TOLSTOY AND HARRY POTTER
Authors: Anichkin A.
Published: November 2018

The article undertakes to find out what it is that Leo Tolstoy shares with the War and Peace [Voyna i Mir] character Fedor Dolokhov. Opening with a discussion of the 2016 BBC dramatization of the novel, which pushes secondary characters like Dolokhov straight into the limelight and promotes him specifically to a major actor in the drama, the article proceeds to examine his real-life prototypes, and especially the writer’s relative, Fedor ‘the American’ Tolstoy, arguably the biggest inspiration behind Dolokhov. He may have endowed the latter with the traits of a callous duelist and adventurer. Every time Dolokhov makes an appearance in the novel, it becomes clear that he, rather than Prince Andrey or Pierre, is Tolstoy’s kindred spirit. J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter books feature a character named Antonin Dolohov, a borrowing from Tolstoy. In their pursuit of immortality, Rowling’s dark wizards would split up their soul and keep the fragments in several magical objects called horcruxes. In a way, Dolokhov is such a vessel for Tolstoy’s alter ego, something already noted by his younger English fellow writer Somerset Maugham.
MARIE-AUDE MURAIL: INVOLVING THE OTHER
Authors: Solovieva T.
Published: November 2018

The most thorough analysis in Russian to date, this article is devoted to the works of the contemporary French author M.- A. Murail, who specializes in young adult literature, and who is idolized by her audiences in France and holds numerous literary awards. In Russia, her books were ‘discovered’ by the Samokat publishing house. All brought out by Samokat, her four books translated into Russian each target a different reader group, from 6 to 18-year-olds. Murail’s appeal is in her ability to find the right themes, plots, and narration method for each readership, and that she never shies away from modernity’s most uncomfortable topics, but interprets those in an easily comprehensible manner and language. Murail’s work is examined through its main topics: family relationships, the conflict between traditional and new societies, and the problem of the other. Also analyzed are the stylistic features that define this kind of prose as dynamic, easy to understand and filled with irony.
MUSICAL TECHNIQUES IN OUR MUTUAL FRIEND BY CHARLES DICKENS
Authors: Shevchenko E.
Published: November 2018

The article is concerned with the musical speech techniques used by Charles Dickens, particularly in Our Mutual Friend, and brings up the problem of Dickens’ unique sense of language in the fragments where speech reveals musical qualities, or a focus on how it would be heard. Based on Sher’s intermediality theory, the analysis takes into consideration the sounds of words, rhythm, ‘volume’, length, and the pace of sentences. Special attention is given to the technique of repetition and accompaniment, used to intensify the musical effect of speech. The findings reveal new aspects of the correlation between speech structure and semantics, their union a proof of the writer’s sensitive ear. The article points out the significance of the musical, i. e. ‘non-semantic’ elements in the creation of the book’s atmosphere and semantic emphases. The paper goes on to give a new interpretation to speech intonation, suggesting it should be treated as a musical concept. Finally, the author argues that, rather than ‘imitating’ languages (according to M. Bakhtin), Dickens invents new ones through his masterful use of various techniques.

SO WHAT DO WOODCOCKS AND WALLENSTEIN HAVE IN COMMON? ON PUSHKIN’S OVERLOOKED PUN
Authors: Savelzon I.
Published: November 2018

Following his trip to Orenburg, Pushkin wrote to V. Perovsky attaching four copies of his History of Pugachev’s Revolt [Istoriya Pugachevskogo bunta], asking him to forward those to ‘Dahl, Pokotilov, and that hunter who likes to compare woodcocks with Wallenstein or the Caesar’.

This hunter’s identity has long since been revealed by V. Dahl in his Notes on Pushkin [Zapiski o Pushkine]: it is K. Artyukhov, director of the Orenburg-based Neplyuev military school, who once played host to Pushkin in his bathhouse and entertained him with a dialogue about woodcocks (Waldschnepfe) - gamebirds who proudly fly towards the deadly lead, wings spread widely. In Pushkin’s pun, the dying woodcock is likened to the Caesar in his composure, and to Wallenstein in his final gesture, according to Artyukhov’s impression. In Europe and Russia, the memory of A. von Wallenstein was revived after F. Schiller’s trilogy (1799). The prince apparently spread his arms and offered his unprotected chest to the murderer’s halberd. A similar description is provided by Schiller, but in his History of the Thirty Years’ War, rather than in his play Wallenstein’s Death. This history was missing from Pushkin’s library, although he may have found out about the prince’s final gesture elsewhere.

Pushkin’s pun is unique in its two-layer structure: the phonetic likeness reaches into a non-verbal, pantomimic level. In addition, the quip and the final phrase in the letter provide an example of metered prose.
STENDHAL, PUSHKIN, GOGOL: TOWARDS THE METAPHYSICS OF A MONUMENT
Authors: Shults S.
Published: November 2018

The metaphysical motif of the monument in the works of Pushkin and Gogol is compared with Stendhal’s monument philosopheme. The article demonstrates the ideatorial and material, spiritual and tangible aspects of the motif in the works of these authors, as well as its connection with the historical element in culture and daily reality.

The monuments in Pushkin’s ode and Gogol’s Selected Passages from Correspondence with Friends [Vybrannie mesta iz perepiski s druziyami] is perceived by the two authors through the dichotomy of culture as opposed to civilization. It was on Russian soil that Pushkin and Gogol further developed the cultural-historical and philosophical-historical pathos of Stendhal’s observations, moving in the same romantic/post-romantic flow.

The author infers that, in his Monument [Pamyatnik], Pushkin preserved and uncovered his creative self as a combination of the spiritual and the tangible. By contrast, Gogol’s late works show his attempts to evade such preservation or to use ambiguous ways to imply the existence of his morphed self. Indeed, Gogol did not ‘repeat’ Pushkin, but only in the constant inner dialogue with the poet amid history in motion.
TIME AND THE OTHERS. ‘BILLIARDS AT HALF-PAST NINE’ [‘BILLARD UM HALB ZEHN’] BY H. BÖLL
Authors: Fomin S.
Published: November 2018

The article deals with the image of time of Heinrich Böll’s Billiards at Half-Past Nine. Undergoing transformation as the novel progresses from beginning to end, time is promoted beyond the formal meanings of the word to the book’s theme, key driver of its plot, and one of the novel’s main characters. The author examines the artistic techniques, composition, timeline, and topography related to this metamorphosis, as well as the writer’s typical stylistic methods.

To mention just a few, its dramaturgical substitution (whereby the role of the narrator is passed on from one character to another, and the scene moves across time); semantic surprise (an unexpected use of a word, or change of the topic of narration); spiral composition (description of past and present events in a cyclical rather than linear narration); the poetics of repetition and artistic laconicism.

In addition, the research looks at the novel’s position in time and space in accordance with M. Bakhtin’s classification.
PERSONALITY AND CULTURE. VYACHESLAV V. IVANOV INTERVIEWED BY EMIL DIMITROV
Authors: Dimitrov E.
Published: November 2018

This hitherto unpublished conversation between the famous Bulgarian philologist Emil Dimitrov and Vyacheslav Ivanov deals with fundamental philological problems, such as Slavonic culture, language development, artistic translation, etc. The two scholars are particularly interested in culture: its experience and perception, involvement in it, and various ways for its scholarly study. The interview is prefaced by E. Dimitrov, who shares the story behind his acquaintance with the interviewee and his first impressions of him. Dimitrov insists that only a scholar with a strong personality can achieve cultural prominence. It was for the purpose of revealing such scholarly personality that Dimitrov structured his interview as a lively and exciting commentary to Vyacheslav Ivanov’s major research.
THE CINEMA’S UNITY AND RIVALRY WITH LITERATURE. ON ALEXEY GERMAN’S CREATIVE EVOLUTION
Authors: Amusin M.
Published: November 2018

The article considers the works of Alexey German in their semantic and stylistic aspects. In his earlier films, in the spirit of the Sixtiers, German advocated for an objective and uncompromised truthfulness, especially in war pictures. In the 1980s (e. g. in My Friend Ivan Lapshin [Moy drug Ivan Lapshin]), the director moves on to a more personalized, ‘transformative’ and fantastic depiction of reality. This approach is epitomized in his film Khrustalev, My Car! [Khrustalev, mashinu!], only to be followed by a complete rejection of a historical sense and a belief in humanity’s enduring corruption in It’s Hard to Be a God [Trudno byt’ bogom]. Another topic examined in the article is German’s treatment of original literary sources during script writing and filming. Despite the fact that almost all of his projects were based on well-known stories and novels, German would systematically expunge any narrative quality, or semantic certainty, or plot continuity, opting instead for an involved sonic register. He liked to stress independently valuable visual imagery, associative aspects, and the overall character of the image: this approach proved highly beneficial in Khrustalev, My Car!, but failed entirely in the flop It’s Hard to Be a God.
