Authors:   Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkin House) of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Dmitriyev Andrey P. ,   Institute of Philosophy and Law of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: December 2020

The article on the material of unpublished archival documents (mainly epistolary) highlights the unknown details of the preparation of the Complete Works of Aleksey Khomyakov, which survived from 1861 to 1907. There are five editions; their differences from each other are investigated. An annotated bibliographic review of the best editions of Aleksey Khomyakov, published in the Russian Diaspora and in the USSR, as well as in Russia over the past 30 years, is given. In anticipation of the release of the modern, scientifically verified Complete Works of the writer in 10 volumes, prepared at the Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkin House) of the Russian Academy of Sciences under the guidance of Boris Yegorov, the most significant achievements of the research group are described, especially about the finds in the archives and periodicals of unknown works of Aleksey Khomyakov and the publication of his creative manuscripts. For some of them (“Song of the Cossack”, “Experience in Improving Winter Roads by Rolling”, etc.), updated dates are given. A number of texts (“Genius”, “The Sexton”) were first attributed to Aleksey Khomyakov according to stylistic and thematic features, as well as memoirs. The in-neat autographs, fragments of the poems “Winter Anthem” and “The Sexton” are published for the first time, and the full text of Aleksey Khomyakov’s ballad “The Prisoner” (the early 1820s) is presented in the appendix to the article.
A interseccionalidade e o entrecruzamento das identidades estruturais nas interações comunicativas
Authors: Furtado Lucianna
Published: December 2020

Este artigo oferece uma aproximação entre a abordagem interseccional e o modelo relacional da Comunicação, discutindo como as categorias identitário-estruturais de privilégio e subalternidade interagem e se entrecruzam de modo a complexificar as relações sociais. Para isto, são discutidas algumas das contribuições do pensamento feminista negro na elaboração da interseccionalidade, demonstrando a insuficiência da abordagem em eixos isolados para apreender as formas como as categorias de poder permeiam a sociedade. O artigo argumenta que, precisamente por centralizar como os eixos de poder emergem na experiência dos sujeitos em sua vida social, a interseccionalidade oferece um rico quadro analítico para compreender as interações entre sujeitos; as formas de representação, produção cultural e narrativas midiáticas; e o pano de fundo que ambienta as relações sociais.

Facebook Event as a platform to promote engagement in social movements
Authors: Figueiredo Carolina , Santos Caio
Published: December 2020

This paper reflects on the application of the Theory of Performativity in complex communication processes as those emerged from the Social Networks. Austin’s (1975) theory of Speech Acts and the concept of Performativity stated by Butler (1997) are recovered to find mechanisms of analysis in utterances that are intrinsic to websites tools. In parallel, the Latour Actor-Network Theory (2017) is also used. As a research result we came to the conclusion that the use of Facebook Event tool implies in performativity, once that by pressing the “Going” and “Interested” buttons the user express different meanings. To put it succinctly, performativity allows the production of effects through language (speech acts) on digital Social Networks.
Keywords: Facebook Events. Performativity. Speech Acts.
E viveram felizes para sempre
Authors: Santos Vitória Brito , Schmidt Saraí Patricia
Published: December 2020

O artigo versa sobre a relação entre cultura midiática e construção de identidades infantis femininas, tendo como foco as histórias de princesas recorrentemente narradas nos filmes de animação da Disney, alinhadas com o sonho do casamento propagado nas novelas brasileiras. Em termos metodológicos, o estudo parte de uma entrevista semiestruturada realizada com sete meninas do 5º ano de uma escola municipal do Rio Grande do Sul. Na segunda etapa, as análises do material das entrevistas privilegiaram a discussão sobre a maneira como as narrativas midiáticas (filmes de animação e novelas) contribuem na construção de um ideal de felicidade do público feminino infantil. O estudo aponta e problematiza a noção de “felizes para sempre” propagada na cultura midiática, noção essa que contribui na maneira como o sujeito infantil constrói a sua identidade, pautando formas de “ser” e “estar” no mundo.
Sobre comunicação e marcas ”plataformizadas”:

Published: December 2020

Neste trabalho, discutimos como as plataformas da rede desenham novas dinâmicas de comunicação, especialmente no que diz respeito às marcas e  organizações, à  plataformização e aos chamados "jardins murados". Por meio de um trabalho baseado em pesquisa bibliográfica, buscamos respaldo na teoria dos Internet Studies; e no quão importante é estar visível hoje nestes ambientes governados por sistemas algorítmicos de grandes corporações transnacionais. Procuramos compreender também como o trabalho de comunicação das marcas utiliza estes espaços de interação e trocas com suas audiências como estratégia, e alguns dos caminhos que permeiam tal prática intermediada hoje pelas plataformas on-line.
O cinema à luz das teorias da complexidade de Edgar Morin:
Authors: Kahtalian Marcos , Tenório da Motta Leda
Published: December 2020

O propósito deste artigo é evidenciar as relações produtivas entre as teorias da complexidade de Edgar Morin (1996) e o cinema, entendido a partir dessa moldura como arte complexa, prenunciadora de seu pensamento posterior. Joga-se aqui com a hipótese de que o entendimento do cinema como arte complexa pode ser relevante para a recente discussão sobre as diversas modalidades da visualização do filme, com o declínio percebido das salas de cinema como ponto de recepção do filme. Teoricamente serão mobilizados não apenas os aportes das teorias da complexidade e das redes culturais, mas também as contribuições específicas das teorias da forma cinematográfica e do cinema como prática social, também a partir de Morin (2014) e da discussão mais recente referente à ontologia do cinema, como se pode ver em Jacques Aumont (2012), entre outros autores.

Published: December 2020

Investigamos o surgimento de Globoplay tomando por base sua primeira produção original, Além da Ilha. Numa análise atenta às dimensões do meio, da narrativa, da televisualidade e dos indicadores culturais, tomamos a noção de TV distribuída por internet como norteador teórico e traçamos um percurso pautado na poética televisual como metodologia. Entendemos que Globoplay materializa um híbrido entre as influências do modelo linear de TV e as potencialidades levantadas pelo streaming, apesar de num primeiro momento o serviço se posicionar como um replicador do modelo clássico de televisão.
Host- microbiome interactions in a changing sea: the gill microbiome of an invasive oyster under drastic changes in temperature
Authors: Rina-Dor Yahala , Benayahu Yehuda , Reshef Leah , Gophna Uri
Published: December 2020

The gill tissue of bivalve mollusks hosts rich symbiotic microbial
communities that may contribute to the host wellbeing. Spondylus
spinosus is a Lessepsian invasive oyster to the eastern Mediterranean
Sea that has become highly abundant, while constantly expending its
range northwestward. Using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing we examined
how temperature affects the gill microbiota of S. spinosus, and the
oysters themselves, in a series of experiments: exposing the oysters to
the current annual seawater temperature range; to the colder temperature
of the western Mediterranean Sea; and to elevated temperature as
predicted under global warming scenarios. The bacterial genus
Endozoicomonas dominated the communities of the S. spinosus, mainly upon
exposure to winter-like temperatures. Exposure to elevated seawater
temperature resulted in a significant change in the bacterial
communities, while the oysters maintained normal functioning, suggesting
that the oyster may survive a seawater warming scenario. Exposure to
colder winter temperature typical to the western Mediterranean Sea
resulted in health deterioration of the oysters, emergence of
opportunistic pathogens, and a decline in the relative abundance of
Endozoicomonas, suggesting that S. spinosus might not survive in the
cold western Mediterranean Sea. The findings indicate that gill bacteria
are greatly affected by temperature, which could consequently restrict
the range expansion of this and other invasive oysters.

Published: December 2020

The purpose of this research paper is to offer innovative tools and techniques to avert corporate crises to ensure organizational excellence and effectiveness. It explains calm leadership and advocates soft leadership. It illustrates with inspiring examples of leaders including Abraham Lincoln, Winston Churchill, and Boris Yeltsin, who handled substantial crises successfully. It provides a list of leaders who led during turbulent times, saved their companies from the brink of disaster, and emerged in stronger positions; several are specifically profiled: Steve Jobs, Lee Iacocca, Ed Whitacre, Isaac Perlmutter, Richard Clark, and Gordon Bethune. It explains decision-making on complex issues and crises and shows how turbulence can be an opportunity, not a threat. It differentiates between leadership styles and the need to apply hard leadership skills during crises and soft leadership skills during normal times. It outlines action steps to overcome organizational crises. It concludes that with the advent of the fourth industrial revolution demarcated by artificial intelligence and automation, it is essential to take appropriate action steps to avert corporate crises to ensure organizational excellence and effectiveness.

La importancia de los lazos sociales: clases sociales y mecanismos de acceso al empleo en el Área Metropolitana de Buenos Aires
Authors: Carrascosa Joaquín
Published: December 2020

Este artículo analiza las diferencias entre clases sociales en el uso de mecanismos de acceso al empleo en el Área Metropolitana de Buenos Aires. Se distingue entre mecanismos basados en la movilización de lazos sociales ligados a distintos ámbitos de socialización como la familia, el barrio, la escuela, la universidad, el trabajo, etc., y el acceso sin el uso de lazos. También se analizarán la relación entre el uso de lazos sociales y el acceso al empleo formal o informal y las diferencias en el uso de lazos según trayectorias de movilidad social intergeneracional e intrageneracional hacia la clase media. Se utiliza una metodología cuantitativa con datos provenientes de la encuesta del PI-Clases Reproducción y movilidad social en trayectorias familiares y cursos de vida (2015-2016). Los lazos fuertes y débiles mostraron ser de gran importancia para acceder al empleo dentro de los segundos se destaca la importancia de los compañeros de trabajos anteriores y de los lazos barriales para las personas de clase obrera. Sin embargo, en la clase obrera y para los trabajadores no manuales, el uso de lazos sociales está ligado al acceso a empleos informales. Además, quienes son intergeneracionalmente estables en la clase media utilizan en gran medida sus lazos familiares, lo que sugiere mecanismos de reproducción de clase.

The Role of Botanic Gardens in Species Recovery :
Authors: Lusby Phil , Dyer Adrian , Lindsay Stuart
Published: December 2020

A translocation experiment to reintroduce the rare fern Woodsia ilvensis (L.) R.Br. to former sites in England and Scotland is described. The demands of this kind of conservation work brings the work of scientists and horticulturists together. High losses of transplants are to be expected and in order to gradually build up populations in the wild, translocation programmes may have to adopt a multi-phased approach. The facilities at botanic gardens are well suited to this type of conservation work.
Cultivation of Thyrsopteris elegans
Authors: Ensoll Andy , Matthews Kate
Published: December 2020

Thyrsopteris elegans Kunze is a monospecific genus of fern endemic to the Juan Fernandez Islands, off the coast of Chile. These islands have large numbers of alien invasive species and the native flora, including T elegans which already has a very restricted distribution, is consequently under considerable threat. One of the largest examples of this species in cultivation in Britain grows at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh and this paper describes its propagationand cultivation.
The Value of Record Keeping: a Case Study from Four Elderly Orchid Accessions
Authors: Fowler Andrea
Published: December 2020

The history of four orchids growing at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (RBGE), some of the oldest accessions still in cultivation in the Indoor Department, is outlined. Records from the time of their arrival have been invaluable in providing an insight into the history of plant collecting, introduction and cultivation methods from the 1890s. They demonstrate the importance of accurate record keeping and the potential for species conservation in botanic gardens.
Indices Seminum:
Authors: Aplin David , Linington Simon , Rammeloo Jan
Published: December 2020

This manuscript investigates whether indices seminum are currently aiding conservation or whether they require modernisation. It is widely assumed that the proportion of wild-collected seeds has increased within botanical seed lists. Through a number of studies we found the reverse to be true. Our paper also found that very widespread taxa were needlessly offered from garden origin. More worrying is that taxa well known for their invasiveness were also freely available for distribution. Another concern was the failure to supply or request associated data for wild-collected seeds despite its availability, a neglect counter-intuitive to botanic gardens. We highlight that in their present form indices seminum are a waste of resources and offer little to legitimate conservation. A range of recommendations is provided for modernising this activity in order to prioritise conservation, one of our biggest challenges of the 21st century.
Plant Collecting for the Ecological Garden and the Scottish Heath Garden at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh
Authors: Schofield Gordon , McGinn Andrew , Frachon Natacha , McHaffie Heather
Published: December 2020

The Ecological and Heath Gardens at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh were created in 1991 and 1997 respectively. The Ecological Garden started as a naturalistic area of native woodland plants where cryptogams were encouraged to grow. Building on its success other habitat types were created nearby. The Heath Garden replaced an older heather garden and sought to recreate the ‘feel’ of a Scottish upland heathland. In recent years additional wild origin material of conservation concern has been added to each Garden and this paper describes the process along with some of the plants selected.

A Role for Lichens in Botanic Gardens?
Authors: Ellis Christopher J.
Published: December 2020

Lichens are biologically diverse and ecologically important. They infuse a botanic garden with character, and are sensitive indicators for the health of our environment. Their continued recolonization of botanic gardens should be celebrated, yet is frequently greeted with trepidation. Acknowledging the under-played significance of lichens and other cryptogams, PlantNetwork organized a conference on Mosses, Ferns and Lichens in Gardens (September 2007). This article summarizes a talk presented at the PlantNetwork conference. It discusses the role of lichens in botanic gardens, and also includes general themes (aesthetics, monitoring and education) which may be applied across other cryptogam groups, for example mosses, liverworts, ferns and non-lichenized fungi.
Garden Shelterbelts
Authors: Lyte Benedict , Warren Jolin , Haenraets Jan , Mitchell David
Published: December 2020

Shelterbelts in gardens, as their name implies, provide crucial protection from strong winds for the less well-adapted species growing behind them. Several of the historic gardens on the west coast of Scotland rely on them in order to cultivate the range of plants that they do. Many of these windbreak plantings were established over 150 years ago and the plants in them are ageing. The National Trust for Scotland held a seminar to discuss this problem and the experiences of a number of gardens, and the lessons learnt are described. New computer-based technology developed by the Forestry Commission is also discussed.
The Effects of Short-Term Storage on Germination in Meconopsis Vig. (Papaveraceae)
Authors: Elliott Alan , Kenicer Gregory
Published: December 2020

The viability and germination rate of seed of five species and four cultivars of Meconopsis was tested. The seed was stored in both refrigerated (c.4°C) conditions and at ambient temperature (8–17°C) to reflect typical conditions for seed storage in the smaller botanical garden and amateur enthusiast’s collection. Seed that had been stored in each of these conditions was sown sequentially 2, 3, 4 and 5 months after harvest. Seed batches were also treated with 0.25mg/l gibberellic acid (GA) or left untreated. Each of the four combination treatments was associated with an overall reduction in viability and germination rate as time after harvest increased (to a minimum of 66.7% viability and 33.7% germination, except for two species with high viability but no germination in the study period). These reductions were not significantly different between treatments, and use of GA did not significantly increase germination rate. We studied the role of underlying genetic relations on germination by relating our results to the most recent comprehensive phylogeny of the genus, and we suggest that ecology plays a more important role than phylogeny in germination.

Hybrids between M. grandis and the allied M. baileyi are assessed. Techniques for the cultivation of M. grandis are also given.
Field Collecting Living Material in Papua, Indonesia
Authors: Barber Sadie , Ensoll Andrew
Published: December 2020

This paper sets out ‘best practice’ methods for field collecting wild material, based on experience gained during a two-month expedition to the Indonesian province of Papua. The horticultural team involved in the trip sought to keep cuttings, rhizomes, seedlings, whole plants, seeds and spores intact and healthy while in the field. With several obstacles including climate and lengthy delays in transportation to deal with, the high success rate of collected material is testament to the careful techniques employed in the processing of living plant material in the field.
Vertical plant production as a public exhibit at Paignton Zoo
Authors: Frediani Kevin
Published: December 2020

Paignton Zoo has undertaken a novel project together with a multinational plant technology group to build Europe’s first vertical growing facility. The project represents the first zoo-based sustainable growing laboratory. It is an example of how zoos and botanic gardens can demonstrate sustainability to their visitors, through reducing their own impacts on the environment and by using plant-based solutions to offset the impact of anthropogenic global change on biodiversity. Urban agriculture and High Density Vertical Growing technology should be seen as a valuable element that can help to achieve the Millennium Development Goals, most specifically goal number one: to end poverty and hunger, and goal number seven: to ensure environmental sustainability by taking pressure off habitats to service unsustainable cities through agricultural domestication or otherwise unsustainable land use.
A New Caledonian Glasshouse in Paris
Authors: Larpin Denis , Joly Eric , Delmas Maite
Published: December 2020

This chapter discusses the renovation of the public glasshouses (Les Grandes Serres) at the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, Paris (MNHN) and particularly the creation of a glasshouse presenting the rich and unique flora of New Caledonia, a French overseas territory in the Pacific Ocean. The displays demonstrate past and current scientific studies carried out by MNHN researchers in all fields of natural history. Current concerns over the degradation of the biodiversity of the region have led to the decision taken by the Department of Botanical and Zoological Gardens to display this ecosystem. Five of the most threatened or important ecosystems of the archipelago have been recreated in the glasshouses and have full disabled access. The reopening of Les Grandes Serres was a landmark for the 2010 International Year of Biodiversity at MNHN.
Observations made while recreating a native Hawaiian forest
Authors: Griffin-Noyes Emory
Published: December 2020

Since 2007 staff at Limahuli Preserve have been developing practices to effectively reintroduce native plants into a highly degraded environment, creating a forest high in diversity and a safe habitat for some of the rarest plant species on the planet. Initial efforts were focused on the Limahuli Valley and limited progress was made because of the exposed conditions and prevalence of weed species. Relocation of the project to areas with tree cover has resulted in greater success. These successes have been built on to extend the project to the reintroduction of rare and endangered species. The methods used to transform a habitat where non-native and weed species dominate to one in which native, including endangered, species thrive is described. The value of staff with horticultural knowledge and experience of the habitat and climate is stated and ideas for the future of the habitat at Limahuli Preserve are given.

The Northern Lads :
Authors: McEwen Ron
Published: December 2020

It is well known that a disproportionate number of plant collectors for the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in the late 18th and 19th centuries were Scottish gardeners. Another important source of plants for Kew in its early days were the specialist London plant nurseries that were run by Scots. Less well known is the preponderance of Scots found in other areas of Kew’s work – gardeners in charge of the botanic garden, curators of various departments and gardeners who transferred to colonial botanic gardens. This Scottish phenomenon was not unique to Kew: it was found in other botanical and non-botanical institutions in London and the provinces. This paper charts the extent of the phenomenon and, on the basis of 18th- and 19th-century sources, analyses its causes.

Biogeographical Principles in Horticulture
Authors: Hitchcock Anthony
Published: December 2020

With more than 780 species, Erica is the largest genus in the Core Cape Subregion, once referred to as the Cape Floristic Region (CFR), in South Africa. The redevelopment of the Erica Display Garden at Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden to fulfil aesthetic, conservation and educational purposes is described. The author draws on decades of field work in the CFR to open a window for botanic garden visitors and schoolchildren who have not had the privilege of experiencing the unique flora of the CFR. An explanation for the extraordinary diversity of the CFR is explored.

The challenge of engaging with visitors and at the same time highlighting the diversity of ericas and fynbos while overcoming the difficulties of growing wild species out of their natural and niche habitats is explained. The most effective way to display South African ericas and fynbos is discussed. The use of phytogeographical themes is preferred as a suitable method to display diversity in botanic garden horticulture. Nine planting beds totalling 8,000 m2 were redeveloped to represent six distinct phytogeographic regions identified in Plants of the Greater Cape Floristic Region (Manning & Goldblatt, 2012). Nineteen of the twenty largest families and genera of the Cape flora are also represented in these displays. Interpretation was created to provide information on the defining features of each region. The phytogeographic theme was used to emulate typical natural floristic features of each and to bring the concept of geographically driven plant diversity to the attention of the visiting public and students.

There is a long tradition at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (RBG, Kew) of cultivating and displaying exotic plants from all over the globe, and the largest Victorian glasshouse, the Temperate House, traditionally  showcases plants from temperate regions. The Temperate House Restoration Project was undertaken at RBG, Kew from 2012 to 2018. Over 1,000 species of plants were removed, propagated and replanted for this project, and this article describes the propagation of some of the most difficult to reproduce plant material. Four plant groups or species are presented: Erica verticillata P.J.Bergius, Quercus insignis M.Martens Galeotti, Pinus roxburghii Sargent and Banksia spp. L. This is in order to illustrate the variety of options available for propagating challenging species with attention to their ecology, biology and growing requirements.

Also provided are background information, reasons why these plants are considered difficult to multiply in cultivation, how plant material was sourced and the methods employed which led to successful propagation of the material at RBG, Kew. Propagation of the plants was heavily reliant on the horticultural expertise of those involved, and this expertise ensured that most of the original plant material was rejuvenated and new collections with scientific significance were added to the restored Temperate House.
Cultivation of Orites Myrtoideus
Authors: Blackhall-Miles Robert
Published: December 2020

Orites myrtoideus (Poepp. & Endl.) Engl. is an evergreen shrub in the family Proteaceae, endemic  to the Andes of both Chile and Argentina. With a small distribution and increasing risks, direct conservation action has been recommended. Ex situ cultivation and subsequent translocation of populations may be an option for the conservation of this species. In recent documented history this species has been grown ex situ on only a small number of occasions. One plant was grown outside at Benmore Botanic Garden for a period of five years and another has been grown at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh as part of the Arid Lands collections. A better understanding of its cultivation requirements has been deemed necessary before ex situ collections can be established.This study aims to give a broad overview of the germination and first 12 months of cultivation of this taxon with the aim of informing future ex situ cultivation and subsequent restoration initiatives.
Reducing risk to wild ecosystems in nursery production
Authors: Stanley Rebecca , Dymond Wayne
Published: December 2020

The implication of the nursery trade in the historic movement of the pathogen that causes kauri dieback (Phytophthora agathidicida) instigated a review of nursery biosecurity procedures at Auckland Botanic Gardens. The nursery grows 65 000 native plants a year which are planted at restoration sites throughout Auckland. Threatened plants are also grown in the nursery and returned to the wild. The nursery biosecurity  project resulted in a manual of protocols, supported by infrastructure upgrades, to ensure the nursery takes all practicable steps to ensure there is as little risk as possible to natural ecosystems through nursery practices. This work also demonstrates the important role of Botanic Gardens in providing education and advocacy for such schemes in all nurseries.
Determining the temporal interaction of Camellia cultivar flowering periods and camellia petal blight disease presence in Auckland, New Zealand
Authors: Bodley Emma , Stanley Rebecca
Published: December 2020

Botanic gardens hold diverse and valuable living collections that provide a number of research, conservation and education opportunities. Auckland Botanic Gardens (ABG) has an internationally significant collection of species and cultivar camellias that have been used for scientific research into understanding which species are susceptible to camellia petal blight. ABG has surveyed all cultivars and species in its collection over multiple years to identify which camellias are affected by petal blight and which avoid it, based on their flowering period. A total of 363 camellias were assessed for petal blight over 6 years of surveying. It was found that 245 cultivars and 6 species were susceptible to the disease, while 68 cultivars and 32 species did not display any visual symptoms. These are important findings, as enthusiasts and breeders alike may use them to inform their respective interests.

Approximately two million scientific research articles are published in journals worldwide each year (Altbach & De Wit, 2018). As a result, identifying relevant and high-quality journal articles can be an overwhelming task. journal impact factors are one metric for assessing the quality of research journals and articles. To help you become a more informed research consumer, this article will explore some common questions about journal impact factors. We begin with an explanation of Journal impact factors and their origins, followed by some critiques of journal impact factors, alternative ways of assessing publication quality, and the applications of this information to your work in psychology.
Perceptions of Prosocial Behavior: Understanding the Self-Presentation of Hardships Incurred During Altruistic Acts
Authors: Xue Jennifer Q. , Bramesfeld Kosha D.
Published: December 2020

Promoting one's altruistic motives may be an important means by which people can present themselves favorably to others. Still, promoting one's altruistic acts can be risky, as observers tend to be sensitive to factors that indicate that an altruistic act is motivated by self-interest, rather than genuine prosocial motives. Research focused on martyrdom (Olivola & Shafir, 2013; Schaumberg & Mullen, 2017) has suggested that highlighting the hardships involved in an altruistic act can enhance perceptions of prosocial motivation (the martyrdom hypothesis). However, research on bragging (Berman et al., 2015; Sezer et al., 2018) has suggest that first-person statements that highlight hardships may be perceived as self-motivated complaints, rather than genuine (the complaint hypothesis). The current study used a 2 (statement content: accomplishment versus hardship) x 2 (presentation strategy: direct statement or humblebrag) within-groups design (N = 82) to examine if self-promotional statements related to altruistic hardship increased or decreased perceptions of genuineness and prosocial motivation. Consistent with the complaint hypothesis, first-person statements focused on an altruistic hardship were perceived more as complaints (p < .001, η2 = .512) and less as prosocial acts (p = .001, η2 = .132) than first-person statements that focused on an altruistic accomplishment. These results suggest that there may be a penalty for emphasizing personal sacrifice as a means of self-promoting altruistic acts.

Aim. To study the effectiveness of acyclovir in patients with systemic autoimmune diseases caused by active chronic herpes simplex 1/2 infection. Material and Methods. Among 380 patients with systemic autoimmune diseases (systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic vasculitis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis) in 45 (11.8%) patients was diagnosed active phase of chronic HSV1/2 infection with help of viral DNA identification by polymerase chain reaction. These patients received acyclovir in three courses with a one-month interval between them. The effectiveness of treatment was monitored before and after treatment with help of virus DNA results in three bioenvironments (blood, saliva and swab from the lesion), of general and specific IgM, IgG antibodies concentration; levels of IgE, cryoglobulins, circulating immune complexes, alpha-interferon, C3-component of complement, the number of lymphocytes populations/subpopulations and of activated cells. Results and Discussion. After the treatment, it was fixed as significant decrease of specific IgM, IgG antibodies concentration as of the level of total IgE, cryoglobulins and cryofibrinogen. In addition it was observed as significant decreased level of alpha-interferon in the serum and saliva, as of the natural killers and number of lymphocytes, expressing the low-affinity receptor IL2 (CD25+) and lymphocytes with suppressive activity (CD4+25+). After the treatment it was observed by polymerase chain reaction a decrease of virus replication in 66.7% of cases. Conclusions. The results of the study indicate, that the use of acyclovir for the treatment of active phase of chronic HSV 1/2-infection might contribute as to the decrease in the virus replication, reducing the viral load, as to the suppression of aggressive autoimmune reactions, reducing the risk of allergopathology development.
