Authors: Antonov V. G. , Raychenko A. V. , Maslennikov V. V.
Published: December 2021

The article studies modernization of digital platform potential in order to coordinate interaction of practice, science and education in the field of management. The key focus is made on the fact that as a result of digital organization development the role of virtual space becomes prevailing in managers’ work and nearly all traditional methods of management undergo drastic changes. Unique processes of managing digital organizations require revision of methodological approaches to the problem of sustainable development in conditions of digital transformation, which mainly has a turbulent character. It is underlined that the major problem of today’s management is the vague definition of different notions, whose understanding is crucial for managers, who otherwise cannot link digital strategy with their work. The article used materials and findings of fundamental and applied research done by authors within the frames of budget, business and initiative development of innovation, industrial and educational products. Testing of these solutions proved their need in the field of practical management, scientific research and managerial education.

Labour Productivity as Indicator of Regional Economy Efficiency
Authors: Gagarina G. Yu. , Arkhipova L. S. , Sizova D. A.
Published: December 2021

The interrelation of labour productivity and economic situation in regions of the Russian Federation is really acute in current conditions, when such destructive factors as sanctions, inflation, instability on global markets due to coronavirus epidemic take place. Therefore, the key goal of the research is to estimate labour productivity in regions as a factor of economy efficiency. Among methods of research it is possible to mention comparative analysis of the indicator, typology of regions by a number of parameters in order to identify regional differentiation. It is assumed that the highest labour productivity is typical of raw-materials regions, which specialize on extraction and export of mineral resources. However, we should take into account that natural and climatic factors in this group of regions increase labour costs and therefore, cut labour productivity. The authors show that in regions with conventional specialization on manufacturing industry (when the raw-materials sector retains a certain importance) the said indicator demonstrates a high value, even in spite of some unfavorable trends on labour market. The authors used the following materials and research findings for preparing the article: results of deep interviews of employment service workers in the Ryazan region conducted in 2021 within the frames of the research ‘Digitalization of Labour Market and Employment in Russia: Trends and Mechanisms of Development’; materials of expert discussions and surveys of employment service heads in regions of the Central Federal District within the frames of the research ‘Organizational and Finance Mechanisms to Support Population Employment in 2021-2023, which Aims at Unemployment Reduction’
Assessment of the Balance of Aspects of the Socio-Ecological and Economic Efficiency of the Organization Activity Based on the Dynamic Standard Method
Authors: Hruznevich K. S.
Published: December 2021

In modern conditions, the main goal of the organization activity is not only to obtain a commercial effect in the form of profit, but also its stable development, which depends on the health of people and the quality of the environment. Understanding this forms a new look at the organization only a moderate consumption of resources, the preservation of the natural environment for the sake of future generations can allow it to become effective in the long term. This requires a transition from the traditional economic understanding of efficiency to the socio-ecological and economic one, which is based on the balance of its aspects.

The aim of the study is to develop the author’s definitions of the categories “socio-ecological and economic efficiency”, “balance”; as well as an assessment of the balance of aspects of efficiency based on the dynamic standard method. The objectives of the study include: a) to develop the author’s definitions of the categories of socio-ecological and economic efficiency and balance; b) consider approaches to assessing the balance at the micro and meso levels; c) form a system of indicators for assessing the effectiveness of the organization; d) develop a normative series of growth rates of performance indicators and compare with the actual one using the example of a particular organization.

Materials and methods. In preparing the article, methodological approaches to assessing the balance at the micro and meso levels were studied, namely: the essence, content, statistical tools underlying them, their shortcomings and the ability to assess the balance of aspects of the effectiveness of the organization activity were identified. The assessment was carried out using the dynamic standard method, for which the normative order of subordination of the indicators included in it was determined. For the assessment, we used data from the industrial organization, the main activity of which is the production of outerwear (Republic of Belarus, Vitebsk region).

Results. As a result of writing the paper, the author’s definitions of the studied categories were developed, a system of indicators for certain aspects of the effectiveness of the organization activity was formed, priorities in growth rates were determined and the normative ranks of the selected indicators were established. Based on the data of a specific organization, a comparison was made between the normative and actual modes of functioning based on the calculation of the Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient and Kendall’s rank correlation coefficient. The conclusion is made, theoretical directions of increasing the consistency of tempo characteristics are proposed.

Conclusion. The article points out the degree of balance of certain aspects of efficiency (social, environmental and economic) on the example of a real business entity, which made it possible to form theoretical directions for eliminating their imbalance.
Cryptogenic Stroke and Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source: Risk
Factors and Approaches for Detection of Atrial Fibrillation
Authors: Rakhimova Idaliya , Semenova Yuliya , Khaibullin Talgat , Kuanysheva Anargul , Kovalchuk Vitalii , Abdrakhmanov Ayan
Published: December 2021

Background:

Stroke is a problem worldwide because of its high mortality and disability
rates. Almost 90% of strokes are ischemic, and more than half of the deaths are caused by an ischemic
stroke. Most risk factors for stroke are manageable so that it can be avoided with proper prevention.
Despite the success in determining the causes of stroke in recent years, selectively, the
“culprit” causing stroke remains unsolved. In such cases, a diagnosis of undetermined etiology
(cryptogenic stroke) or embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) is generated, resulting the
prevention of a recurrent cerebrovascular occurrence impossible. Atrial fibrillation (AF) can be a
cause of stroke by causing blood clots in the chambers of the heart.

Purpose:

The aim was to determine the optimal method of heart rate monitoring in patients with ischemic
stroke, as methods and approaches for detecting AF are very diverse, but there is still no
single opinion, which would be universal.

Procedures:

In our review, we consider epidemiology, risk factors for the stroke of undetermined
etiology, as well as analytical methods for detecting heart rhythm disturbances in this category of
patients.

Findings:

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is detected by thorough monitoring of heart rate of patients with
cryptogenic stroke and ESUS can be diagnosed in up to 46% of patients.

Conclusion:

After AF detection, consideration should be given to prescribing anticoagulants, instead
of antiplatelet agents, for the secondary prevention of stroke.
Potential Protective Effect of Dl-3-n-butylphthalide on Chronic Cerebral
Ischemia Brain Injury
Authors: Zhao Fangfang , Luo Yumin
Published: December 2021

:

Chronic cerebral ischemia is one of the common ischemic cerebrovascular diseases.
Chronic cerebral ischemia can lead to brain dysfunction, and its pathophysiological mechanism involves
inflammation, blood-brain barrier destruction, oxidative stress, and other factors. As it is difficult
to detect, it is easily overlooked, and it is often only observed following the onset of cognitive
dysfunction. At present, there are only a few drugs for its treatment. Dl-3-n-butylphthalide
(NBP), a compound extracted from celery seed, may play an important role in protecting against
brain damage caused by chronic cerebral ischemia. Therefore, here, we have paid attention to the
prevention and treatment of chronic cerebral ischemia with NBP.

Authors: Jalili Mahsa , Ansari Nastaran , Bakhtiari Somaye , Jalilian Farid Azizi
Published: December 2021

Today, we are facing the spread of antibiotic resistance in various microbial communities. Also, researchers are using new methods to replace conventional treatments to prevent chronic bacterial infections. Hence, the used of phages or bacterial contaminant particles are now used as an effective method in the treatment of many infectious diseases. Several studies have suggested that the use of bacteriophages is effective in treating some bacterial diseases. Therefore, the present study was performed to evaluate phage therapy studies against infections caused by bacterial infections. The use of bacteriophages as new targets in the treatment of bacterial diseases restricts the development of infectious diseases. Bacteriophages can provide a new perspective in the development of new drugs to reduce the rate of bacterial infections. Also, it seems more research should be done in this field and more developed techniques should be used to evaluation of new phages.
Molecular Modeling, Interacting Residues and other Structural Analyses for Human SOCS3, Gp130 and JAK Proteins: A Detailed Computational Approach for Proteins Involved in Feedback Inhibition
Authors: Banerjee Arundhati , Dasgupta Rakhi
Published: December 2021

Background:

When STAT3 is activated only by the IL6 family of proteins, then gp130
(having a phosphopeptide motif) interacts with human SOCS3, which further binds to JAK and inhibits
its protein kinase activity. Interaction of gp130 with SOCS3 targets only the IL-6 signaling
cascade. The interaction occurs when SOCS3 binds to a particular motif on gp130 (centered upon
pTyr759) after its phosphorylation. Previously, wet laboratory studies were done, but computational
exploration for the participating residues remained unexplored.

Methodology:

The 3D structure of human SOCS3 protein was modeled, and its stereochemical parameters
were satisfied. Crystallographic structures of gp130-phosphopeptide and JAK were
studied. After protein docking, the complex underwent minimization and molecular dynamics simulation.
Different stability parameters and binding patterns with residues were evaluated.

Results and Discussion :

The best-modeled structure of SOCS3 protein was selected and found that
it had three helices and seven sheets interspersed with coils. Arg133, Tyr137 and Tyr98 from SOCS3
formed manifold binding patterns with gp130 (mainly with pTyr759 and Glu758). Lys62,
Lys63 and Arg65 from SOCS3 were also found to interact with Val762 of gp130. Interactions with
JAK were also studied. Residue 53, 62-65, 98, 133, 136 and 137 formed the predominant binding
pockets in SOCS3. They can serve as important target sites as well. Altogether, it created electrostatically
charged pockets to accommodate the partner proteins for each other. Gp130 phosphopeptide
was observed to be tightly accommodated in the electrostatically positive zones on the SOCS3
surface. Net area for solvent accessibility was also found to get drastically reduced, implying high
participation of residues. Earlier studies documented that the interaction of these three proteins occurs
with affinity and have a satisfactory association with each other.

Conclusion:

Here in this study, the free energy of binding for the triple protein interaction through
the ΔG values helped to infer that SOCS3 interacted spontaneously (in a thermodynamic sense).
Many helical conformations formed coiled-coils providing high flexibility to interact spontaneously.
Most of the interactions were through the responsible SH2 domain (46-127 residue length) of
SOCS3. Residues 53, 62-64 and 98 formed coils while the residue number 137adopted sheet conformation
from coils.

Future Scope:

This study shall instigate blocking the gp130-binding sites of SOCS3 through targeting
of drugs, thereby preventing SOCS3-gp130 interaction. This would allow the JAK-STAT signaling
cascade, which is paramount for several biological functions.
Lithium Plus Olanzapine: One of the Most Effective Combinations
for Bipolar Disorder: A Case Report and a Concise Review
of the Literature
Authors: Rodríguez Aitzol Miguélez , de Mendiola Etxezarraga Xabier Pérez
Published: December 2021

Background:

The recurrent nature of Bipolar Disorder (BD) is the
main cause of disability associated with the illness. Despite the proliferation of
drugs approved for the maintenance phase of BD, the relapse rate is still high.
The combination of drugs, especially the potentiation of mood-stabilizers with second-
generation antipsychotics, may reduce the risk of relapse and rehospitalization.
However, studies on the efficacy of specific combinations are scarce.

Case presentation:

The clinical case of a 28-year-old woman involuntarily admitted
to an Acute Psychiatric Unit is presented. She suffers a manic postpartum
episode with mixed and psychotic features. During the hospitalization, she is successfully
treated with a combination of lithium plus olanzapine. In the discussion,
a concise narrative review of the scientific literature on the efficacy of such
a combination in BD is made.

Conclusion:

The association of lithium plus olanzapine is one of the combinations
with most evidence on its efficacy in BD, especially in mixed-featured episodes.
Tolerability concerns should not be an obstacle to its use, although they
must be considered.
Exploring social media use of Filipino learners
Authors: Gagalang Jocelyn L.
Published: December 2021

Profusely widespread use of social media opened multiple reading opportunities for learners. However, educators have growing concern that excessive use of social media compromises learners’ reading competence and, eventually, academic performance. The current work aimed to examine the extent to which social media use may affect the university students’ (N=101) reading attitudes and competence, which are the backbone of scholastic performance. A mixed-methods approach was applied in the study. The data collected were analyzed using version 26 of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software. Interview answers were qualitatively analyzed. Results indicate that social media platforms (SMPs) were least used for educational purposes. Students showed positive reading attitudes emphasizing their accorded importance to reading and finding happiness to learn new things. However, as they managed to read posts daily, lesser inclination was accorded to productive reading attitudes such as finding time to read during vacant hours and having enthusiasm towards advanced reading and reading with friends. Overall, reading competence indicated ineptitude. This study provides insights into the context of social media use in shaping learners’ reading attitudes and affecting their level of reading competence.

Authors: Hidayah Rudy , Wiyono Wiyono , Karyanto Oka
Published: December 2021

Indonesia government pays little attention to address impending threat of the existences of upland smallholder farmers due to insufficient farm income. This condition poses an imminent threat to national food security. One of the initiatives to address the condition is participatory action research project conducted by Faculty of Forestry UGM with 12 upland smallholder farmers in Wonogiri regency from 2016 to 2018. The result of the participatory action research project showed that although the 12 smallholder farmers practice cropland agroforestry system in marginal land, their increased rice production could improve farm income, be similar in rice field and support national food security. Therefore, this study aimed at investigating lesson-learned of the participatory action research project. This study was conducted on January-March 2020, used participant observation and semi-structure interview methods to collect data from the 12 smallholder farmers. After the collected data were analyzed by descriptive method, this study founded four points of lesson-learned including (1) finding a responsive smallholder farmer group; (2) minimizing negative role of local elite; (3) maximizing positive role of local elite; (4) implementing modified technology package.
Condomless Anal Sex Associated With Heterogeneous Profiles Of HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Use and Sexual Activities Among Men Who Have Sex With Men: A Latent Class Analysis Using Sex Diary Data on a Mobile App
Authors: Yu Yi-Fang , Wu Huei-Jiuan , Ku Stephane Wen-Wei , Huang Po-Hsien , Li Chia-Wen , Huang Poyao , Strong Carol
Published: December 2021

Background

New innovative technologies, such as mobile apps, have been developed to increase pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) adherence and the use of log sex diaries. The contiguity of mobile apps reduces the recall bias that generally affects reported condom and PrEP use. However, none of the currently used mobile apps were designed for event-driven PrEP users, and few studies have demonstrated the potential usage of sex diary data to facilitate the understanding of the different HIV risks among heterogeneous profiles of sex diaries and PrEP use.

Objective

We aim to discriminate the heterogeneous profiles of sex events and PrEP use and examine the risk of condomless anal sex among different types of sex events.

Methods

We recruited 35 adult men who have sex with men from two medical centers in Taiwan since May 2020 and followed up for four months. Participants were on PrEP or willing to take PrEP. They were asked to log their sex events, PrEP use, and dosing regimens on a mobile app to improve their PrEP adherence. Latent class analysis was used to distinguish profiles of sex events and PrEP use. Indicators included correct intake of PrEP for each sex event, participants’ sexual positioning, partner’s HIV status, and age.

Results

A total of 551 sex events were classified into three classes by latent class analysis: PrEP nonadherent flip-flopping (234/551, 42%), PrEP imperfect-adherent power bottoming (284/551, 52%), and PrEP adherent serodiscordant topping (33/551, 6%). “PrEP nonadherent flip-flopping” sex events were more likely to involve condomless anal sex than “PrEP imperfect-adherent power bottoming” (OR 1.83, 95% CI 1.03-3.25) after considering random intercepts for individuals, and this class needed to increase their PrEP adherence and use of condoms. “PrEP imperfect-adherent power bottoming” realized their own risk and packaged PrEP with condoms to protect themselves. Up to 99% (32/33) of sex events in “PrEP adherent serodiscordant topping” were protected by PrEP, but all of the sex events in this group were condomless.

Conclusions

Using the sex diary data could advance the capacity to identify high-risk groups. HIV prevention strategy should be more flexible and combine PrEP with condom use for future HIV prevention.
Accuracy of Store-and-Forward Teledermatology for the Diagnosis of Skin Cancer: The Nouvelle-Aquitaine Experience
Authors: Bui Colin , Doutre Marie-Sylvie , Taieb Alain , Beylot-Barry Marie , Joseph Jean-Philippe , Dorizy-Vuong Valérie
Published: December 2021

Background

In Nouvelle-Aquitaine (a French region with a population of almost 6 million), the density of dermatologists is less than 3.8/100,000 inhabitants. This lack of dermatological care is delaying diagnosis and management, especially for skin cancer. The SmartDerm Project is a store-and-forward (SAF) teledermatology platform for primary care in Nouvelle-Aquitaine providing dermatological counselling to general practitioners (GPs).

Objective

The main objective was to determine the concordance between the diagnosis of skin cancer made by dermatologists and the pathologists’ diagnosis.

Methods

GPs in 3 pilot departments of Nouvelle-Aquitaine (Lot-Et-Garonne, Deux-Sèvres, Creuse) sent their dermatology requests using their smartphone, via an app called PAACO/Globule; dermatologists at the University Hospital of Bordeaux answered within 48-72 hours. Consecutive cases of skin cancer suspected by the referent dermatologists during the intervention were included, if the result of biopsy interpreted by a certified pathologist was available at the time of the study.

Results

Among the 1727 requests, 163 (9%) concerned a possible diagnosis of skin cancer and were eligible. For 61 cases, the histopathological findings were not available. Eventually, 93 patients with a total of 102 skin lesions were included. Median age was 75 years (range 26-97 years), with 53% women. The skin lesions had progressed for 8 months on average (range 0.5-36 months). The median response time was 1 day (range 0-61 days); 65 days (range 1-667 days) elapsed on average between the SAF opinion and the histological sample. Histopathology diagnosed 83 malignant lesions (57 basal cell carcinomas, 69%; 18 squamous cell carcinomas, 22%; 6 melanomas, 7%; 1 cutaneous lymphoma, 1%; 1 secondary location of a primary cancer, 1%), 1 precancerous lesion, and 18 benign lesions. The concordance between the opinion of the referent dermatologist and the final pathological finding was 83% for nonmelanocytic lesions and 67% for melanocytic lesions.

Conclusions

This study showed the reliability of SAF teledermatology in the diagnosis of skin cancer, comparable to literature data in the absence of dermatoscopy. The median delay of about two months between request and histology was an improvement compared to the delay of usual appointments in the intervention area. The lack of data for 61 patients showed that SAF telemedicine requires better coordination and follow-up, especially for the management of skin cancer. With this reservation in mind, teledermatology offers an alternative answer for the triage of patients with skin cancer residing in areas with low medical density.

An Efficient Artificial Neural Network for Coronary Heart Disease Prediction
Authors: Sheta Priyam Vinay
Published: December 2021

Abstract: Coronary heart disease is rapidly increasing over these days also with a significant number of deaths. A large population around the world is suffering from the disease. When surveys were carried out of the death rate and the number of people suffering from the coronary heart disease, it was understood that how important is the diagnosis of this disease at an early stage. The old way for detecting the disease was not found effective. This paper suggests a different method and technology to detect the disease and the proposed method is more effective than the old traditional methods. In this paper, an artificial neural network that predicts the coronary heart disease is used with 14 features as the input. Feature selection, data preprocessing, and removing irrelevant data was done before training the neural network. The backpropagation algorithm was used for making the neural network learn the features. The output of data was basically binary but the neural network was trained to give the output as a probability between 0 and 1. Two algorithms were proposed for this prediction named Logistic Regression and Artificial Neural Network but the later was selected because of the accuracy of 94%. The accuracy of Logistic Regression was 87%.

Squeezing-enhanced communication without a phase reference
Authors: Fanizza Marco , Rosati Matteo , Skotiniotis Michalis , Calsamiglia John , Giovannetti Vittorio
Published: December 2021

We study the problem of transmitting classical information using quantum Gaussian states on a family of phase-noise channels with a finite decoherence time, such that the phase-reference is lost after m consecutive uses of the transmission line. This problem is relevant for long-distance communication in free space and optical fiber, where phase noise is typically considered as a limiting factor. The Holevo capacity of these channels is always attained with photon-number encodings, challenging with current technology. Hence for coherent-state encodings the optimal rate depends only on the total-energy distribution and we provide upper and lower bounds for all m, the latter attainable at low energies with on/off modulation and photodetection. We generalize this lower bound to squeezed-coherent encodings, exhibiting for the first time to our knowledge an unconditional advantage with respect to any coherent encoding for m=1 and a considerable advantage with respect to its direct coherent counterpart for m>1. This advantage is robust with respect to moderate attenuation, and persists in a regime where Fock encodings with up to two-photon states are also suboptimal. Finally, we show that the use of part of the energy to establish a reference frame is sub-optimal even at large energies. Our results represent a key departure from the case of phase-covariant Gaussian channels and constitute a proof-of-principle of the advantages of using non-classical, squeezed light in a motivated communication setting.
Lieb's Theorem and Maximum Entropy Condensates
Authors: Tindall Joseph , Schlawin Frank , Sentef Michael , Jaksch Dieter
Published: December 2021

Coherent driving has established itself as a powerful tool for guiding a many-body quantum system into a desirable, coherent non-equilibrium state. A thermodynamically large system will, however, almost always saturate to a featureless infinite temperature state under continuous driving and so the optical manipulation of many-body systems is considered feasible only if a transient, prethermal regime exists, where heating is suppressed. Here we show that, counterintuitively, in a broad class of lattices Floquet heating can actually be an advantageous effect. Specifically, we prove that the maximum entropy steady states which form upon driving the ground state of the Hubbard model on unbalanced bi-partite lattices possess uniform off-diagonal long-range order which remains finite even in the thermodynamic limit. This creation of a `hot' condensate can occur on any driven unbalanced lattice and provides an understanding of how heating can, at the macroscopic level, expose and alter the order in a quantum system. We discuss implications for recent experiments observing emergent superconductivity in photoexcited materials.

O uso de smartphones associados a aplicativos de medição de cores como ferramenta analítica é uma realidade nos dias de hoje, destacando-se a alta acessibilidade e praticidade. O ferro é um nutriente essencial disponível como suplemento devido ao seu uso no tratamento da anemia. O ácido salicílico e os íons Fe3+ formam um complexo de coloração violácea, com lmax em 525 nm, o que permite a determinação espectrofotométrica do teor de ferro a partir deste cromóforo. Este artigo relata um método simples, rápido e de baixo custo que usa medidas colorimétricas com a câmera de um smartphone para quantificação de ferro em formulação farmacêutica. Comprimidos mastigáveis de ferripolimaltose foram usados como conjunto de previsão para quantificação de ferro. Com a medida do parâmetro G, do modelo de cores RGB, foram obtidos resultados bastante satisfatórios: desvio padrão relativo igual a 9% e recuperação de 104%, e nenhuma diferença estatística foi observada a um nível de confiança de 95% entre o conteúdo de ferro estimado pelo método proposto e o método espectrofotométrico de referência.

The article discusses ways in which David Foster Wallace engages with Dostoevsky’s life and works. The article points out that Wallace’s commencement speech, “This Is Water,” makes no direct references to Dostoevsky, yet the moral and spiritual values that he enunciates share common ground with those of the Russian writer. The article then turns its attention to Wallace’s review of four of Dostoevsky scholar Joseph Frank’s five volumes devoted to Dostoevsky’s writings, life, and the historical, intellectual, and cultural contexts into which they fit. Wallace admires the way in which Dostoevsky’s novels address important issues, including isolation and nihilism, facing Russia in the 1860s. The American writer sees a similarity between that isolation of the 1860s and the isolation prevalent in the United States in the 1990s. The article then analyzes Wallace’s 1996 novel, Infinite Jest, and the ways in which he indirectly weaves into the text references to Dostoevsky’s fiction, primarily, but not exclusively, The Brothers Karamazov. Also discussed are a few parallels with Notes from Underground, Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, and Demons. The article describes Wallace’s focus on the detrimental effects that isolation leads to in contemporary America. The article explains that Wallace declared that in Infinite Jest, he wanted to reflect the distracted, fractured way in which contemporary people think. The article states that given this goal, it makes sense that the references to Dostoevsky’s works in Infinite Jest are also fractured. They are in bits and pieces.
Russian Hero in Argentina: Reception, Influence and Translations of F. M. Dostoevsky’s Work
Authors: Morillas Jordi
Published: December 2021

This article analyses the perception, influence, interpretation and translation of Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky’s life and work in the Republic of Argentina. First, it describes how the Argentines have interpreted the author of The Brothers Karamazov from biographical, philological, historical, psychological, religious, theological and philosophical perspectives, from his first appearance in the early 1880s to the present (2021). References are made to studies published both in the press and in strictly academic circles (articles, books, dissertations). Dostoevsky’s influence is manifested secondarily in the novelistic and poetic work of the great Argentine writers of the twentieth century (Roberto Artl, Ernesto Sabato, Julio Cortázar and Jorge Luis Borges). It follows a brief history of Spanish translations (directly or through other languages) of Fyodor Mikhailovich’s novels and short stories in Argentina, with particular emphasis on the most widely read and studied of all his works, Crime and Punishment. It also lists the major works of secondary bibliography that first appeared on the Argentine market in Spanish and have had a remarkable influence on Dostoevsky’s studies outside Argentina, such as in Mexico or Spain. Finally, an attempt is made to clarify the reasons why the Argentine people are still today (on the occasion of the bicentenary of his birth, 1821–2021) one of the main readers and interpreters of Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky’s works, through a series of considerations based on psychology, history and demography.

Published: December 2021

This article describes the major trends and events in Dostoevsky studies in North America in the past five years. It begins by providing an overview of notable scholarship in the last five years as well as forthcoming: these include works informed by a philosophical perspective, those which deal with narrative form, and those rooted in contemporary discourse, as well as new computational methods. It also discusses works which are aimed at students, teachers, and general readers of Dostoevsky. The article then goes on to provide a discussion of the history and organization of the North American Dostoevsky Society and the public outreach events and scholarly activities that it organizes, including its popular blog, Bloggers Karamazov. It also provides a summary of the transnational online program organized by the Society and other organizations for the 2021 Dostoevsky bicentenary, which include a lecture series and a birthday party. Finally, the article touches on global connections enabled by new technology and the future of Dostoevsky studies in North America, in particular the website of the International Dostoevsky Society and the online transfer and update of the Society’s bibliography into a research portal hosted on that website.
Dostoevsky Society of Argentina
Authors: González Alejandro Ariel
Published: December 2021

The paper provides an overview of the Dostoievski Society of Argentina (Sociedad Argentina Dostoievski, SAD), created in 2015. The main goal of the Society is to unite specialists in the work of F.M. Dostoevsky and Slavists. The activities of the SAD include organization of scientific conferences, meetings, seminars, round tables, edition of books and online journals. The paper examines two journals published by the SAD, outlines their scientific profile and history of creation. The journal Estudios Dostoievski, created in 2018, was conceived as a continuation of the international dialogue on the work of F.M. Dostoevsky and united the Hispanic Dostoevsky scholars. Another project of the Society — the journal Eslavia, established in the same year, became a meeting point for Slavic scholars and all those interested in Slavic culture and literature, as well as Spanish American–Slavic cultural links. The article highlights the peculiarities of these contacts, their historical background and prospects. The scientific program of the journal Eslavia consists in the publication of articles on various branches of humanitarian knowledge on the basis of the material from different Slavic countries. Estudios Dostoievski and Eslavia were awarded a gold diploma of the International Slavic Forum “Golden Knight” in Russia. The Dostoievski Society of Argentina cooperates with other national and international associations, organizes the International Slavic Readings and since 2016 has been a member of the International Dostoevsky Society (IDS).
Cinematic Mirages of Theodor Dreiser
Authors: Antsyferova Olga Yu.
Published: December 2021

The article examines the history of cinematic versions (film adaptations) of T. Dreiserʼs novel An American Tragedy, the key concept of the analysis being that of a mirage (phantasm). It is the unattainable and unconscious desire for the mirage of wealth and luxury that guides Clyde Griffiths in the novel (not accidentally one of its early titles was “Mirage”). The plotline of Dreiser’s attempts to film the novel during his lifetime is marked by the same illusory, fantasmatic character: the script by Sergei Eisenstein, approved by the author, was rejected by Hollywood, the movie by Joseph von Sternberg, who eliminated sociological motives, was not accepted by Dreiser who tried to sue Paramount but lost the trial. George Stevensʼ post-war film adaptation of the novel titled A Place in the Sun, where the action was transferred into the early 1950s with their less rigid class stratification, became a tragic story about love and protagonist’s desire to dissolve into cinematic fantasy. A Place in the Sun was to become a cult film both among the intellectuals (Jean- Luc Godard) and among the mass media audience, the embodiment of which can be seen in the main character of the novel by S. Erickson Zeroville and of the eponymous movie by J. Franco. The history of the relationship between Dreiserʼs text and cinema can be perceived as a hypostasis of Roland Barthesʼ “death of the author”: appropriating a well-documented text of a real-historical author, cinema gradually and increasingly turns it into a space of intertextual play, from which the real author is eliminated and becomes a “mirage”, visible only to readers familiar with Dreiserʼs novel.
The Occasions of Theodore Dreiser’s Literary Criticism – a View from the Theodore Dreiser Edition
Authors: Davies Jude
Published: December 2021

Theodore Dreiser published over fifty items of literary criticism between 1900 and 1945 on a wide variety of subjects, while additional discussion of literary matters is scattered through his correspondence, memoirs, unpublished speeches, and cultural and philosophical essays. Hitherto this work has proved useful piecemeal, in its illumination of Dreiser’s fiction, while a few outstanding pieces have served to define Dreiser’s version of realism or literary naturalism. This essay takes the literary criticism seriously as a body of work in itself, sketching out some categories and topics, and providing detailed historical contexts for several items, which reveal under-appreciated nuances and engagements in even better-known pieces such as “True Art speaks Plainly” and “Life, Art and America.” The essay sees coherence across the diverse foci of Dreiser’s literary criticism via the concept of the “occasions of literary criticism,” by which is meant the historical and cultural contexts into which he was writing. It charts the roots of Dreiser’s literary criticism in his need to respond to charges of “literary immorality,” its growth through his very particular response to censorship, and its maturity in his suggestion, in a speech given as part of the peace conference in Paris in 1938, of an American literary tradition dedicated to social justice, taking in Mark Twain and H. D. Thoreau as well as the expected cohort of realists and naturalists. The essay concludes by relating these contexts and preoccupations to the history and practice of the Theodore Dreiser Edition.
