Published: March 2024

This paper explores the benefits of incorporating the prepared speaking format into the final assessment in English for Specific Purposes, as a response to pandemic and the full-fledged war in Ukraine. The aim was to maintain students’ achievements and reduce examination-related anxiety triggered by war stress. As literature review suggests, anxiety blocks cognitive process and ability to critical thinking, the development of which requires focused and sustained attention and correlation of emotions and cognition. Since the critical thinking development is one of the key competences of the XXI century, the format of the designed pre-examination tasks is based on questioning techniques with trajectory on cognitive levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy, originally developed to help educators set educational objectives. In the suggested format it underwent a transformation, shifting from a teacher-centered approach to a student-centered one with the aim to enhance students’ critical thinking and the ability to ask higher cognitive questions. This study was carried out through a qualitative longitudinal approach with semi-structured interviews, a survey, and observation as data collection methods. The findings demonstrated the viability and a crucial role of prepared speaking format in eliminating anxiety, by providing the achievement-oriented strategies focusing students’ attention on effective task engagement.

Authors: Osipova Z.
Published: March 2024

The article examines the peculiarities of the political analysis of humor, its place, and its role in the concept of political culture. It is noted that humor is a component of the mentality of the Ukrainian people. It reflects the value-motivational level of political culture. That level determines the attitude towards government authorities, political parties, and other components of the political system which are relayed with the help of symbols. The article explores the place of humor in the concept of «laughter culture», according to M. Bakhtin. The author describes forms and types of «laughter culture», and functions that were an element of the desacralization of power, according to this concept. The author proposes humor features in the political sphere and its types and functions outlined both in Western and Ukrainian historiography. It is noted that Western researchers hardly use the concept of «political humor». In most cases, they talk about the peculiarities of the use of humor by politicians. The role and place of humor in politicians' speeches, the use of humor in political actions, protests, and various forms of political activism. They analyze political cases and specifics of humor in different countries. The author presents the concept: humor of power, the power of humor, which reflects the possibility of its usage for political purposes (both by politicians and society). At the same time, Ukrainian researchers consider humor a complex phenomenon, outlining its functional features, using «political humor» frame. The author proposes a classification of political science studies of humor according to the object-subject criterion. The author presents the following classification: studies devoted to political leaders and humor in political speeches; studies devoted to the forms of humor in political activity and the role of humor as a tool of propaganda and counter-propaganda; studies dedicated to humor as a tool of strategic communications; security studies - humor during armed conflicts; case studies devoted to the place of humor in different countries.

Authors: Fontes Angélica Maria Pinto , De Araujo Jandre Santiago Amorim , Canan Felipe
Published: March 2024

Introdução: as técnicas, que são os gestos motores realizados pelos jogadores, são relativamente bem conhecidas e detalhadas pela literatura, mas a tática, que se exprime pelas condutas, comportamentos e decisões necessárias dentro do jogo (normalmente não restritas a uma técnica única e mecanizada), ainda se mostra abstrata. Em outras palavras, não são claros ainda quais os meios táticos, ou seja, as condutas adotadas  ao longo do jogo. Quanto mais abstratos, menores as chances de serem ensinados. Objetivo: analisar conceitos de condutas táticas ofensivas do handebol. Metodologia: a pesquisa é teórica, exploratória e qualitativa, tendo como fonte de dados, livros de handebol com ISBN e publicados por editora profissional, até o ano de 2023. Um total de 23 livros foram investigados, dos quais somente 7 apresentam conceitos de condutas táticas ofensivas e, portanto, selecionados como amostra. A análise dos conceitos textuais e imagéticos foi realizada a partir da interpretação, considerando elementos comuns e detalhamentos de explicação dos autores. A apresentação dos dados deu-se a partir de síntese conceitual e ilustração imagética. Resultados: foram encontradas as seguintes condutas: finta (6) livros, cruzamento, bloqueio, cortina (5) livros, engajamento e tabela (4) livros, desmarcação e permuta (3) livros, infiltração (2) livros e escoramento (1) livro. A média de condutas por livro foi de 1,4. Em relação aos autores, identificou-se que em Canan (2020) 10 condutas, Greco e Romero (2012) 8 condutas, Nunes (2017) 7 condutas, Simões (2006) 4 condutas, Oliveira Junior, Kakinowski e Hause (2012); Costa e Kraychychyn (2016); Santos (2017) 3 condutas. Considerações finais: as condutas táticas ainda se mostram como um conteúdo incipiente na literatura brasileira sobre handebol. Das 10 condutas encontradas, cruzamento, finta, bloqueio, cortina, desmarcação, engajamento, tabela e permuta apresentam conceitos mais elaborados, ao passo que as condutas infiltração e escoramento podem melhor ser definidas em termos quantitativos e qualitativos.

Beyond Bellephonic Sound: Exploring Some Musical Diplomacies during the Ukraine War
Authors: Ramel Frédéric
Published: March 2024

British Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Nadine Dories proclaimed culture and sport the “third front in the Ukrainian war”. Russia, Ukraine but also national institutions in Western countries recognize this strong dimension in their own strategic conducts. Music is clearly part of this War whether on the side of belligerents or of third party States, cultural actors and artists even though they try to escape he dilemmas they cause. What does mean listening music in such figuration? Does it entail a “bellephonic sound” dissemination that could not be transcended or are there some experiments of musical diplomacies that tend to have another representation of otherness even in a context of war? By focusing on several musical programs and institutions in Europe since the beginning of Ukraine War, this paper aims at shedding light on the role of music as a source of recognition in strategic context from public diplomacy to people-to-people diplomacy.

Authors: Тасакова О.С. , Голубцова Н.Н. , Гунин А.Г.
Published: March 2024

Цель исследования — изучение содержания тиоредоксинсвязывающего протеина в фибробластах дермы человека от 20 нед беременности до 85 лет, а также выяснение его роли в возрастных изменениях числа фибробластов в дерме человека. Тиоредоксинсвязывающий протеин, ядерный антиген пролиферирующих клеток (PCNA), маркер фибробластов виментин выявляли в срезах кожи непрямым иммуногистохимическим методом. Результаты показали, что доля фибробластов с положительной окраской на тиоредоксинсвязывающий протеин в дерме человека увеличивается от 20нед беременности до 60 лет с последующим незначительным снижением в возрастном диапазоне 61–85 лет. С возрастом уменьшались общее число и процент PCNA-положительных фибробластов в дерме. Наиболее значительное уменьшение последних происходило с антенатального периода до 40 лет. Корреляционный анализ показал, что возрастное уменьшение общего количества фибробластов и их пролиферативной активности достоверно связано с возрастанием доли фибробластов с положительной окраской на тиоредоксинсвязывающий протеин. Результаты позволяют предположить, что тиоредоксинсвязывающий протеин принимает участие в возрастном уменьшении численности фибробластов и снижении активности их пролиферации в дерме человека.

The aim of this work was to examine the content of thioredoxin interacting protein in fibroblasts of human dermis from the development until 85 years old, and defining of a role of thioredoxin interacting protein in age-dependent changes in the number of fibroblasts in the dermis. Thioredoxin interacting protein, proliferating cells nuclear antigen (PCNA), marker of fibroblasts vimentin were detected with indirect immunohistochemical technique. Results showed that portion of fibroblasts with positive staining for thioredoxin interacting protein in the dermis is increased from 20 weeks of pregnancy until 60 years old followed by a little decrease in age interval 61–85 years old. General number and percent of PCNA positive fibroblasts in dermis are decreased with age with more expressed changes until 40 years old. Correlation analysis showed that age dependent decrease in the number of fibroblasts and their proliferative activity is significantly associated with increase in thioredoxin interacting protein positive fibroblasts in dermis. Results obtained allow to suggest that thioredoxin interacting protein plays a role in age dependent decrease in the number of fibroblasts and their proliferation in human dermis.

Published: March 2024

Objective: To analyze short-term outcomes of anatomical lung resections using video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and thoracotomy approaches.

Materials and methods: Our retrospective study included 530 patients who underwent surgery for various lung diseases in the thoracic surgery unit of City Multidisciplinary Hospital No. 2 (Saint Petersburg, Russian Federation) between 2014 and 2021. The patients were grouped based on the surgical approach: group 1 for patients who underwent VATS (n = 378), group 2 for patients who underwent thoracotomy (n = 120), and group 3 for patients who underwent conversion from VATS to thoracotomy (n = 32).

Results: Tumor size, paranodal and peribronchial changes were unfavorable prognostic factors for conversion from VATS to thoracotomy (odds ratio [OR] = 1.032, CI: 1.013-1.051, P < .001; OR = 4.416, CI: 2.100-9.283, P < .0005; OR = 3.109, CI: 1.496-6.462, P < .002). Patients from group 1 and group 3 mostly had minor complications, whereas 32 patients (53%) from group 2 developed grade III-V complications according to Thoracic Morbidity and Mortality classification system. High Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), thoracotomy approach, emphysematous changes, adhesions, and absence of interlobar fissures were independent unfavorable prognostic factors for complications in the early postoperative period (OR = 1.665, CI: 1.031-2.691, P < .05; OR = 1.874, CI: 1.1433.070, P < .05; OR = 1.8803, CI: 1.126-2.888, P < .05; OR = 1.548, CI: 1.010-2.370, P < .05; OR = 1.612, CI: 1.053-2.466, P < .05).

Conclusions: VATS is an effective and safe approach for anatomical lung resection. Tumor size above 40 mm, significant paranodal and peribronchial changes were risk factors for conversion from VATS to thoracotomy. CCI above 5, thoracotomy approach, emphysematous changes, adhesions, and absence of interlobar fissures were independent unfavorable prognostic factors for complications in the early postoperative period.

The majority of high school students with special educational needs in the pre-evaluation had a rarely observed and practiced level of functioning in terms of cognitive, functional, behavioral, and daily life skills. 

There was a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test in the four skills: cognitive, functional, behavioral, and daily life skills. This indicates that utilizing the program and giving more constant exposure to it would help the learner with special educational needs reach the highest level of functioning, which is always observing and practicing the skills needed in order to have a successful transition to college and in obtaining and maintaining integrated and inclusive employment.

Published: March 2024

Currently, China has become one of the countries with the largest increase in the number of international students in the world, but the current evaluation of the quality of higher education in China does not focus on the satisfaction of international students in China. Therefore, this study examines the quality of education in China from the perspective of international students. The current situation provides ideas for university development to improve the quality of education for studying abroad in China. Based on the research on student satisfaction and the actual experience of managing international students, the theoretical aspects of international student satisfaction in China were constructed according to five indicators: hardware, teacher qualifications, application achievements, management services, and learning outcomes, and the International Students Program in China was developed accordingly. The satisfaction scale is used to conduct surveys and collect data, and to find out the status quo of international students’ satisfaction in China and its influencing factors. Through descriptive statistics and analysis of variance, the study suggests that the current international students in China are highly satisfied with Chinese education and scholarship, and that the level of knowledge of the Chinese language could significantly affect the satisfaction of international students in China.
