Paul Claudel, an interpreter of the Song of Songs
Authors:   National Research University “Higher School of Economics” (Nizhny Novgorod), Bannikov Konstantin V.
Published: December 2022

«Paul Claudel interroge le Cantique des Cantiques» («Paul Claudel questions the Song of Songs») is a landmark work in the oeuvre of Paul Claudel (1868-1955), it is one of the largest artistic and exegetic commentaries in the collection of prose «Le Poëte et la Bible» («The Poet and the Bible») (1998, 2004). The writer creates a new «Claudelian novel» in Bakhtin’s understanding of the novelistic word, based on the centuries-old tradition of multiple interpretations, on the one hand, but built into a work of art, on the other. Claudel draws on his experience of reading the Vulgate, working with concordances and the works of the Fathers of the Church, updating the text of the Holy Scripture through the prism of his work. The artistic world of prose allows us to trace themes, motives, images, as well as the style of working with the text in Latin. Upon finishing his work on the commentary, Claudel makes his own translation of the Bible. It reveals the principles that Lemaistre de Sacy and Fillon adhered to, as well as the typical Claudelian methods of translation, which the writer stated in his discussions about language, French verse and orthography. The translation becomes part of the work: the interpreter places it at the beginning of each chapter. Claudel makes a new translation, pursuing other goals: he does not translate the Bible from the sacred language into the profane language, he translates it into the «Claudelian», adding the meanings that he puts into the text himself, which develops in the second part of each chapter – a poetic commentary.
“The war between the sexes” in the works of F. Norris (The novels “Moran of the Lady Letty” and “A Man’s Woman”)
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Gadylshin Timur R.
Published: December 2022

The article seeks to explore the concepts of masculinity and androgyny in the works of the American writer Frank Norris (1870- 1902). Based on two novels, “Moran of the Lady Letty” and “A Man’s Woman”, the study examines the peculiarity of male and female images. The interaction of the sexes often grows irreconcilable, and the theme of emancipation becomes one of the key ones in the writer’s work. Norris creates a new model of female behavior, unusual for the literary tradition of the past: women in his works demonstrate great fortitude and are able to play unexpected roles. In the novel “Moran of the Lady Litty”, Moran Sternersen who has been sailing the seas since childhood, is able to take control of the ship’s crew, consisting entirely of men. At the same time, she sets an example for her lover, Ross Wilbur, who at the beginning of the novel is presented as a pampered young man. Raised in an aristocratic environment, Ross feels a lack of masculine qualities and unexpectedly discovers them in Moran. In his relationship with the girl the man seeks to adopt definite traits and skills from her, such as firmness in interpersonal relationships, the ability to fight, to take quick decisions, etc. Lloyd Searight from the novel “A Man’s Woman” revives the waning will of her husband, Ward Bennett, a polar explorer, demoralized by the failure of his last expedition to the North Pole. Lloyd, who works in the hospital as a nurse, quits her profession in order to help her husband to recover. Having been healed, Bennett realizes that his wife has suffered just as much, and decides to make a new attempt to conquer the Arctic. Thus, Norris demonstrates the obsolescence of sexual prejudice in a rapidly changing America of 1890–1900s and offers an original interpretation of the ideas of masculinity and androgyny.
Images of eccentric characters in Raymond Carver’s short stories (Based on the short-stories from the collection “Will You Please Be Quiet, Please?”)
Authors:   Linguistic University of Nizhny Novgorod, Lyapin Ivan V.
Published: December 2022

The article deals with the images of eccentric characters in the short stories “Jerry and Molly and Sam” (1972), “Fat” (1971), “They Are Not Your Husband” (1973), “Neighbors” (1971), “The Idea” (1972) written by an outstanding American writer of the second half of the 20th century R. Carver. The definitions of the concepts of “eccentricity” and “grotesque” are given, the fundamental difference between “eccentric” and the related concepts of “jester” and “rogue” is highlighted, examples of the interpretation of “eccentricity” in the previous literary tradition are given. The selected stories are analyzed and the main features inherent in Carver’s eccentrics, such as passivity, self-deception, substitution of values, following false ideas about future happiness, and others, are highlighted. In his stories, the author again actualizes the problems of loneliness, control, alienation and mutual misunderstanding, traditional for American literature of the 20th century; touches upon the themes of voyeurism, appearance and personality, midlife crisis, invasion of personal space and private property, portrays characters who happen to be victims of broken communication, who make attempts to identify themselves, but invariably fail. The infantile and absurd actions of Carver’s heroes not only hide the mental discord and the tragic inability of an individual to gain control over their own life, but at the same time reflect the general social disorder and spiritual trouble. Thus, the characters in the stories of R. Carver stand on a par with other eccentric heroes of American and world literature, in particular with the grotesque heroes of one of the founders of the modern American short story, S. Anderson.
“Personal geography” as an auto-document (Based on the material of the modern Russian prose)
Authors:   Samara State University of Social Sciences and Education, Nekrasova Irina V.
Published: December 2022

The article deals with the concepts of auto-document (ego-document), the combination of the artistic and documentary, “personal geography”, which are relevant for the current stage of the literary process. The main purpose of this study is to show, using the example of the latest works of Russian prose, the importance of geographical addresses (understood as spatial landmarks) for the movement of the plot, as well as being a meaning-generating component not only of documentary, but also of artistic texts themselves. As an object of analysis, collections are used that have united different authors within the framework of a common problem, and works of long form, in particular, the novel by E. Chizhova “The City written from memory”. All these texts are related in terms of using a single-subject narrative, in which the author and the hero are conceptualized (often he is also a biographical author) and practically inseparable. At the same time, the destinies and stories of the characters are built within the framework of the movement of their “personal” geography, and specific addresses become not only and not so much a documentary component, as a moment that promotes the plot. Against the background of authentic coordinates and routes, the behavior of the characters and their perception of the surrounding world change. Personal stories in the collection “To live in St. Petersburg” are determined by individual routes, a powerful literary and general cultural context, within which the fate of the character is predetermined by specific addresses and coordinates. The article draws a conclusion about the formation of a noticeable author’s strategy, using which the interpenetration of documentary and artistic principles in literary texts is determined precisely by “personal geography”.
Saratov’s plot in Yu. N. Chumakov’s letters
Authors:   Samara State University of Social Sciences and Education, Krivonos Vladislav Sh.
Published: December 2022

The article discusses the place of Saratov-based plot in Yu. N. Chumakov’s letters addressed to the author of the article. The subject of discussion in the correspondence is the defense of Yu. N. Chumakov’s dissertation at Saratov University in 1970 and its role in his scientific biography. The defense of the dissertation with Yu. M. Lotman as the first opponent became the key event of the Saratov plot and its climax. Having singled out fragments from the correspondence related to the plot of Saratov, the author seeks to explain the direction of the ensuing epistolary dialogue, why the defense of the dissertation was perceived by Yu. N. Chumakov as a more than significant event for him, especially in the context of his dramatic biography. The author proves that the defense was an explosion of the linear sequence of the text of life, which dramatically changed the fate of the scientist. The desire to talk in detail about the defense, to find out what impression it made, and to look at what was happening on that memorable day for him through the eyes of the addressee of the letter, betrayed the desire to read and interpret his fate again and again. Particular attention is paid in the correspondence to the personalities of such outstanding philologists, professors of Saratov University as A. P. Skaftymov and E. I. Pokusaev. Yu. N. Chumakov was not A. P. Skaftymov’s student and was not familiar with him, but specifically noted the acquisition and subsequent development of the principles of a scientific approach to the work, set out in his theoretical article in 1923. About the personality of E. I. Pokusaev, his supervisor, and the history of the relationship with him, Yu. N. Chumakov wrote in great detail. Having told about the role of E. I. Pokusaev, who supported the dissertation at the defense, and having outlined his complex, large and humanly attractive personality, Yu.N. Chumakov completes the plot of Saratov, which was very meaningful for him, primarily for self-understanding of his scientific path.

Authors: Gimsa Andreas
Published: December 2022

An overwhelming number of the scientists assume today that the general relativity theory describes the gravity correctly. Here, another description of gravitation is presented. This new description is based on three pillars: 1. an extended mechanical view based on Newton's equations, 2. an electromagnetic view based on Maxwell's equations, 3. a quantum physical view describing gravity as a radiation phenomenon.
Comparação das Propriedades Mecânicas de Compósitos de Poliéster com Sisal Natural e Tratadas Superficialmente com Sacarose Invertida
Authors: Fornari Junior Celso Carlino Maria , Sales Jorge Henrique de Oliveira , Brandão Cláudio Soriano de S.
Published: December 2022

A crescente demanda de matérias-primas para suprir as necessidades da sociedade de consumo, tem motivado inúmeros pesquisadores na busca de novos materiais alternativos. Além disso, a extração de recursos naturais não renováveis associado com a geração de resíduos despertou uma eminente preocupação na substituição de recursos mais renováveis e amigos do meio ambiente. Neste contexto, as fibras vegetais se apresentam como promissores materiais para a construção de novos compósitos. Suas propriedades físicas e químicas além de recursos naturais e renováveis fazem das fibras vegetais materiais promissores para aplicações tecnológicas e substituição de materiais utilizados pelo setor industrial. Entretanto, a natureza química das fibras vegetais, difere da maioria dos materiais poliméricos. Isso impede uma maior interação físico e química entre as fibras e a grande maioria das resinas poliméricas. Devido a isso, muitos trabalhos utilizaram técnicas que foram estudas para promover maiores compatibilidades entre ambos os materiais. Nesse trabalho, foi utilizado resina poliéster insaturada e fibras de sisal para a construção de dois tipos de compósitos, um utilizando fibra de sisal natural e outro com fibra de sisal tratada em solução de sacarose invertida. Os testes de avaliação das propriedades mecânicas demonstraram que a resistência do compósito utilizando fibras de sisal tratadas foi em média 60% superior.

Published: December 2022

BACKGROUND: Biosilica derived from Indonesian marine sponge Melophlus sarasinorum and Xestospongia testudinaria is one of the biomaterials that can be developed together with synthetic polymer as a composite. Poly E-caprolactone (PCL) used as a composite role as an osteoconductive material together with biosilica and also tailored the slow rate of degradation in the body. This study aimed to create a biocompatible biosilica-based scaffold and supports osteogenic differentiation of human Wharton's Jelly mesenchymal stem cell (hWJ-MSCs).METHODS: Biosilica was extracted from M. sarasinorum and X. testudinaria with the acid digestion method. Scaffold was prepared using the salt leaching method. The composite scaffolds were made from seven different biosilica extract and PCL. All of the scaffolds were tested for the cell morphology, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), immunocytochemistry, and cytotoxicity.RESULTS: Composite scaffolds of 50% M. sarasinorum and X. testudinaria increased the cell viability and supported the cell growth within 14 days, whereas the osteogenic differentiation can be seen by the presence of collagen type 1 in day 12 based on immunocytochemistry result.CONCLUSION: The biosilica scaffolds from PCL+50% M. sarasinorum and PCL+50% X. testudinaria were promising 3D scaffolds for potential application in bone tissue engineering. In conclusion, this study shows evidence for the osteogenic differentiation of hWJ-MSC, which might be developed for bone tissue engineering.KEYWORDS: sponge, biosilica, scaffold, osteogenesis, stem cell

Authors: Annisa Annisa , Herningtyas Elizabeth Henny , Purnomosari Dewajani
Published: December 2022

BACKGROUND: Hypoxia adaptation in cancer cells is mediated by hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-1 that induces the expression of various proteins. Up to date, the analysis of T47D breast cancer cells-secreted protein is still limited. The aim of this study was to compare the protein profile secreted by T47D breast cancer cells under hypoxic and to normoxic conditions and identify the proteins as candidate for hypoxia marker proteins in T47D breast cancer cells.METHODS: T47D breast cancer cells were cultured under standard conditions. Cells were subcultured in normoxic and hypoxic conditions. The normoxic group was incubated with 20% oxygen and the hypoxic groups were incubated in a hypoxic chamber with 0.5% and 5% oxygen for 6, 24, and 48 hours in serum free medium. Proteins in the culture media were isolated and precipitated. Protein concentrations released by the cells were then measured by bicinchoninic assay (BCA). Protein bands were visualized by the sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) method. The bands that had differences between the hypoxic and normoxic groups were further analyzed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrophotometer (LC-MS).RESULTS: Hypoxic groups showed higher secretory protein than normoxic group. Protein bands were found in the 0.5% hypoxic group with a size of 50-75 kDa. Secretory proteins identified by LC-MS were keratin 1, 2, 9, and 10.CONCLUSION: The T47D cell line under 0.5% hypoxic treatment showed higher secretory proteins that identified as keratin 1, 2, 9, and 10.KEYWORDS: hypoxia, secretory protein, liquid chromatography-mass spectrophotometer
Targeting Metastatic Cancer: Disseminated Tumor Cells and Premetastatic Niches
Authors: Meiliana Anna , Dewi Nurrani Mustika , Wijaya Andi
Published: December 2022

BACKGROUND: Metastases are simply known as cancers spread to another part of the body, and often be responsible for the severity of cancer prognosis. Somehow, the complex mechanisms of metastases are not fully understood yet.CONTENT: The characteristic of cancer is akin to a never-healing wound. Cancer cells are plastic and dynamic as they build their niches and developed into metastases, even when they seem dormant. Therefore, cancer cells can survive the immune system. Recent research has shown the distinct biology of metastasis-initiating cell, which leads to tumor development in distant organs, immune surveillance evasion, and co-option of metastatic micro-environments. Effective cancer therapies must consider the regenerative states of metastatic malignancies and have careful observation of patient phenotypes.SUMMARY: This review aimed to provide an insight on genesis and characteristics of metastases, starting from its seeding and dormancy, until the advance phase. Thus, developing therapy for cancer metastases should not start as it grows, but even as earlier strategies since the primary tumor was detected.KEYWORDS: cancer metastasis, DTC, CTC, CSC, dormancy, pre-metastatic niche, plasticity
Caffeic Acid Induces Apoptosis in MG-63 Osteosarcoma Cells via Protein Kinase C Delta (PKCδ) Translocation and Mitochondrial Membrane Potential Reduction
Authors: Sandra Ferry , Rizal Muhammad Ihsan , Aliwarga Caecilia Caroline , Hadimartana Jenifer Christy , Celinna Maria
Published: December 2022

BACKGROUND: Caffeic acid has been reported to activate caspases in MG-63 osteosarcoma cells, which can lead to apoptosis via both extrinsic and intrinsic apoptotic pathways. Translocation of protein kinase C delta (PKCδ), which reduces mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm), is involved in apoptosis. The role of PKCδ translocation and ΔΨm alteration in caffeic acid-induced MG-63 cell apoptosis are largely unknown. Present study investigated the effect of caffeic acid on PKCδ translocation and ΔΨm in MG-63 cells.METHODS: MG-63 cells were cultured and starved, followed by pretreatment with or without Z-VAD-FMK and treatment with or without 10 μg/mL caffeic acid. MG-63 cells were collected, lysed, and processed to obtain cytosolic and mitochondrial fractions. Each fraction was subjected to immunoblotting analysis by using anti-PKCδ antibody. Mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) was measured using flow cytometry.RESULTS: Cytosolic PKCδ levels were higher than mitochondrial PKCδ levels in untreated and 1 h caffeic acid treatment groups. Inversely, cytosolic PKCδ levels were lower than the mitochondrial PKCδ levels after 6 and 12 h caffeic acid treatment. By Z-VAD-FMK pretreatment, cytosolic PKCδ levels were higher than mitochondrial PKCδ after 6 and 12 h caffeic acid treatment. After 6 h treatment with caffeic acid, ΔΨm was slightly shifted. More shifting occurred in MG-63 cells treated with caffeic acid for 12 h. The ΔΨm shifting was inhibited by Z-VAD-FMK pretreatment.CONCLUSION: Caffeic acid could trigger apoptosis of MG-63 osteosarcoma cells by inducing PKCδ translocation to mitochondria and reducing ΔΨm, which might cause MMP.KEYWORDS: caffeic acid, MG-63, osteosarcoma, PKCδ, mitochondrial membrane potential, mitochondrial membrane permeabilization, Z-VAD-FMK
Control social ¿o control societal? Las veedurías ciudadanas como proxy de una institución colombiana
Authors: Gutiérrez Magaña Héctor Manuel
Published: December 2022

El control social se ha institucionalizado como concepto y como práctica en Colombia, aunque resulta más pertinente entenderlo como control societal, pues lejos de ser un mecanismo para combatir los males del Estado con las virtudes ciudadanas, se trata de un instrumento movilizado por actores sociales y estatales para incidir en la gestión de lo público. Tomando las veedurías ciudadanas como un proxy de este tipo de actividades, argumento que veinte años de registros al alza es indicador de su institucionalización. Utilizando registros oficiales y una muestra intencional, se analizan los procesos y mecanismos que operan en el estímulo y desarrollo de las veedurías, comparando dos municipios con características diversas. Contrario a su imagen de exogeneidad, el control societal está relacionado con el sistema político, lo que, a su vez, constituye la principal fuente de amenazas a su legitimidad.
El compromiso político de la Revista Semana en Colombia: construyendo y deconstruyendo legitimidad alrededor de los procesos de paz
Authors: Richard Eugénie , Flórez Daniela
Published: December 2022

A diez años de la apertura de los diálogos de paz en La Habana, este artículo propone analizar el compromiso político de la Revista Semana con el tema de la paz mediante el estudio del cubrimiento que realizó el medio para dos procesos de paz y el framing utilizado para legitimar o deslegitimar cada proceso. El análisis de 428 notas periodísticas muestra que Semana participó en la activación o estimulación de acciones de deslegitimación del proceso de paz del Caguán (1998-2002) y de legitimación del proceso de paz de La Habana (2012-2016). Se evidencian patrones de comunicación en ambas coberturas, marcados por cinco variables; se resalta la centralidad del frame del conflicto y se reflexiona sobre el papel de los medios como copartícipes en la construcción de estructuras de significado que actúan como proponentes de las creencias legitimadoras o deslegitimadoras al promover o justificar ciertas posiciones de autoridad hacia la ciudadanía.
Salida, voz y lealtad: el rearme de las FARC-EP tras cinco años de la firma del Acuerdo Final de Paz en Colombia
Authors: Baquero Monroy Jorge Andrés
Published: December 2022

En este texto se intenta analizar el curso del desarme de la guerrilla de las FARC-EP desde la firma del Acuerdo Final de Paz (AFP) hasta el final del mandato presidencial de Iván Duque, con esto se quiere dar una explicación causal de las fallas en la implementación del AFP con relación a las razones del rearme de excombatientes, disidentes y nuevos grupos emergentes armados que se consideran parte de las FARC-EP. El método de observación de esta investigación fue la contrastación entre diferentes informes sobre la implementación del Acuerdo Final de Paz y el estudio de archivos de prensa relacionados con la presencia e incidencia de las disidencias, rearmados y grupos emergentes. Dicho esto, el texto plantea hipotéticamente que el Estado colombiano, por medio de una “simulación del Acuerdo de Paz” y una “perfidia” hacia los excombatientes de las FARC-EP ha generado en gran medida el nuevo ciclo de guerra por el que Colombia está atravesando.

Necesidad de pertenencia al grupo de pares y consumo de alcohol en la adolescencia
Authors: Calero Alejandra Daniela , Barreyro Juan Pablo , Formoso Jesica , Injoque-Ricle Irene
Published: December 2022

El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar si la necesidad de pertenencia y el miedo al rechazo se relacionan con la frecuencia y la cantidad de consumo de alcohol. La muestra estaba compuesta por 399 adolescentes, con una edad media de 15.14 años (DE = 1.86). Materiales: Se administró el inventario necesidad de pertenencia y un cuestionario de consumo de alcohol. Se hallaron correlaciones significativas positivas entre la cantidad de alcohol que los adolescentes consumen con la necesidad de pertenencia y el factor miedo al rechazo, y entre frecuencia y miedo al rechazo. También, se encontraron diferencias significativas entre los adolescentes abstinentes y los que consumen alcohol de forma moderada con los que lo hacen de forma abusiva. Asimismo, a partir de un modelo puesto a prueba se descubrió que la necesidad de pertenencia media la relación entre el género y el consumo de alcohol. A partir de estos resultados, se puede concluir que la necesidad de pertenencia mostró estar vinculada con el consumo de alcohol, en particular el factor miedo al rechazo que actúa como mediador entre la relación de género y el consumo de alcohol.

Published: December 2022

El objetivo del estudio consistió en explorar evidencias de validez de la Versión Corta de la Escala de Adicción a los Videojuegos (GAS-SF) y en población argentina de videojugadores. Para ello se llevó a cabo, en primer lugar, una retrotraducción de la escala. Luego, se realizó un análisis factorial confirmatorio, de consistencia interna, de parsimonia y correlacional con el total de horas de juego por semana y los Cinco Factores de la Personalidad. La muestra fue no probabilística y estuvo compuesta por 582 videojugadores argentinos de entre 18 y 26 años (M = 21.30, DE = 0.10), de ambos sexos (hombres = 50.5%, mujeres = 49.5%). Según los resultados obtenidos, el modelo bidimensional es el que mejor se adapta a la muestra. Sin embargo, si se recurre a la correlación de errores, el modelo unidimensional se ajusta de igual manera. A su vez, se encontró una correlación positiva y significativa entre Neuroticismo y la cantidad total de horas jugadas por semana con los dos modelos analizados y una correlación negativa y significativa entre Responsabilidad, Amabilidad y Extraversión con los dos modelos. Según los resultados, se concluye que el modelo que mejor se ajusta es el bidimensional, aunque es necesario realizar más investigaciones para poder comparar los resultados obtenidos con otros estudios, mejorar la adaptación y/o los criterios de clasificación.

Achieving sustainability in the philosophy of art teaching and learning
Authors: Al Sheikh Hanan Muneer
Published: December 2022

The significant development in the diversity of knowledge sources is an essential starting point for the development of teaching and learning methods in the higher education sector. Necessarily, this rapid development requires the development of planning and operational education strategies to provide learners with mechanisms and tools of thinking that enable them to follow the processes of research, analysis, criticism, evaluation and communication in a way that helps them to sustain their knowledge. This study adopted the selective and analytical approaches of ideas and theories of philosophy and pedagogy, aiming to induce results and recommendations for the development of teaching and learning processes. Specifically, in the field of philosophy of art, using the phenomenological approach emphasises the active and structured human presence. Thus, three main pillars were identified: obtaining knowledge; the will to knowledge – learner; and knowledge management – teacher. The study concluded with several methods and techniques that related to the processes of teaching, guidance and evaluation of the philosophy of art in the higher education sector.

In this study, the observed behavior is the impact of giving rewards in the learning process. Rewards are given in the form of verbal and non-verbal.
