Searching for a positive theory of power
Authors: Fussell Cathy
Published: February 2023

We cannot effectively combat negative exercises of power—that is domination—unless we are able to articulate an alternative, coherently and concisely. Power-to and power-with emerged in separate dichotomous debates to oppose domination (power-over), the traditional focus of power theory. Efforts to combine power-to, power-over, and power-with into a trichotomy, rather than producing a clear and robust positive theory of power to challenge domination, have created a complex and contested mix of definitions. This paper proposes a simplified formulation of the trichotomy: power at its most fundamental is the capacity to act and achieve outcomes and is labelled power-to. Power-over and power-with become two opposing exercises of this capacity. Power-over retains its emphasis on the hoarding of value by the dominant (normatively negative). Power-with is redefined to refer to an exercise of power in which value is equitably shared (normatively positive). These new definitions require that we abandon some of the distinguishing features that have been attached to these terms, but doing so resolves some outstanding disputes and provides new opportunities. It opens the way to more effectively ask what power-with and the conditions for collective flourishing and value creation might look like and why we should choose them over domination.
Trends and Causes of Internal Migration: A Case Study of Ilam Municipality, Nepal
Authors: Adhikari Kamal
Published: February 2023

This research work attempts to portray the increasing rate of migration in a particular area of Ilam Municipality. It focuses on the trends and causes of the internal migration in Ilam Municipality of Nepal from different parts of the country which is growing rapidly. It has faced so many challenges of overpopulation. It is considered as the civic duty to solve the existing problem of migration on time otherwise it results into a worsening condition. The appropriate ways for analyzing the causes of migration can be discussed in references with push and pull factors. The main push factor for migration is lack of employment opportunities, education, health and transportation facilities, low agricultural productivity, natural calamities, business failure, transfer of service, and land sold in the place of origin. Similarly, educational facilities, physical facilities, business opportunities, purchase of land, security, presence of relatives, and marriage are the main attractive factors for Internal Migration within Ilam municipality. The major consequences of Internal Migration appear as both in  positive and negative aspects in the destination, origin as well. Some of the positive aspects of migration in the Ilam municipality have a good income from the agricultural product, an increase in business activities, sharing of culture, and feelings of cooperation. In terms of negative aspects of migration in the municipality are deforestation, over  consumption of resources, pollution, fragmentation of land, and an increase in criminal or immoral activities.

Review of Various Transmission Loss Allocation Methods: A Case Study of Integrated Nepal Power System using Best Method
Authors: Gurung Suraj , Gautam Basanta Kumar
Published: February 2023

This paper presents a review of the most relevant and practical methods for allocating transmission loss in a deregulated market. They are the pro-rata (PR) method, the marginal allocation (ITL) method, the proportional sharing (PS) method, and the Z-Bus method. This study has also performed a qualitative comparison of four methods using the IEEE 14 bus system. Finally, the Z-Bus method is selected as the best option for implementation in the Integrated Nepalese Power System Network (INPS). As of 2022, the loss allocation is determined at all 132 and 220 kV substations of INPS. The study of transmission loss allocation for INPS is carried out for six different cases, considering the variation in patterns of energy generation and demand, i.e., system full generation, summer peak, winter peak, average peak, dry peak, and contingency condition. The result shows the load, like Kathmandu Valley, which is in the region of generation, and the generator, like in the eastern region, which is in the region of demand, are mostly compensated with negative losses. Loads in the western region and generators like the Upper Tamakhoshi, which are far from the generator or load, are assigned the highest positive loss. Loss allocation to load and generator can vary depending on the loading conditions that INPS is operating under. The generation is comparably distributed in the full generation, summer, and contingency instances; as a result, the loss allocation to both loads and generators is significant. However, the bulk of losses are only attributed to the generator side in the three other scenarios with less generation, when the majority of the generation is only aggregated in a specific location. This is a result of the remote generator's long-distance power flow, which raises system loss. As a result, the Z-Bus method assigned the generator side the majority of the losses. Additionally, the majority of INPS's generation is determined to be remotely located, which increases their risk of transmission loss. Because of this, INPS is best served by the Z-Bus approach, which takes into account the locations of buses within the network. In order to minimize system loss, this encourages big demand or generation to be positioned close to the center of generation or demand.
Twórczość poetycka Nikołaja Kynczewa w Bułgarii i Polsce
Authors: Gołek-Sepetliewa Dorota
Published: February 2023

This article presents analyses and interpretations of the work of the Bulgarian poet Nikolay Kanchev (1936—2007), collected in the Polish-language volume Against the Absence (2020), translated by Wojciech Gałązka. It takes into account the critical context of the Polish and Bulgarian reception of Nikolay Kanchev’s poetry. The presence of Nikolay Kanchev’s work in Poland since the 1980s is possible thanks to the long-standing efforts of his translator, Wojciech Gałązka. In his homeland, the poet experienced the censorship’s rejection of his first two volumes Presence (1965) and As a Mustard Seed (1968), many years of silence (1968—1980), and a successful but belated reception since the 1990s. A review of historical-literary studies makes it possible to identify the ideological and aesthetic choices of Kanchev’s poetry — neoclassicism, metarealism, conceptualism, philosophical intellectualism, laconicism, and paradoxicality.

Gender-Translation-Gap: Die Kategorie Geschlecht als Faktor beim Transfer (post-)jugoslawischer Literatur ins Deutsche
Authors: Messner Elena
Published: February 2023

The unequal import of (literary) translations of male and female authors from Bosnia, Croatia and Serbia in German will be critically examined in this article regarding the following three aspects: 1. The gender differences in the quantity of translations; 2. The selection strategies for the translation of female authors, especially in the period from 1992 to 2012 (which mostly covers the period of the Yugoslav wars); 3. The role of female actors in the translatory field. The answers to these questions will show whether in this period one could speak of the “gender translation gap”.

Brain Death and Its Effect on Organ Donation: A 10-Year Analysis
Authors: METE Aslı , KİRAZ İlker , ERAL Burak , AKBUDAK İlknur Hatice , SERİN Simay
Published: February 2023

Objective :Brain death can be defined as the irreversible loss of brain functions. It is evident that a delay occurred in the diagnosis of brain death will result in the loss of many cadaveric organs and thus, the number of patients waiting for organ transplantation will increase. Despite there being many studies in the literature about the diagnosis and difficulties of brain death, family interviews, and organ donation, the studies regarding the effects of the regulation change in Turkey on organ donation are limited. The present study includes 10-year retrospective data and it has been conducted to offer an insight to the scientists about the diagnosis of brain death and organ donation.

Method: The study was conducted by using data obtained from the examination of the retrospective files of patients diagnosed with brain death between 2011 and 2021 at Pamukkale University, Faculty of Medicine after obtaining the approval of the ethics committee.

Results: After the study was initiated, the files of 71 patients diagnosed with brain death between 2011 and 2021, were accessed. Due to the missing information in the files of 4 patients, these patients were excluded from the study. Of 67 patients with registered brain death, 36 were male (53.7%) and 31 were female (46.2%). The age average was 49.07. When the treatment units of these patients were evaluated, 50 patients (74.6%) diagnosed with brain death were treated at the neurosurgery intensive care unit, 7 (10.4%) at the neurology intensive care unit, 6 (9%) at the anesthesia intensive care unit, and 4 (6%) at the cardiovascular surgery intensive care unit.

Conclusions:The study concluded that the importance of the diagnosis duration of brain death and the number of specialists who diagnosed brain death in the previous years may have affected this process. It is clear that the formal process, which changed after 2014, showed an acceleration in diagnosis. The importance of the interviews with family members besides the brain death diagnosis has emerged as a result of the study

Hormonal regulation of the concentration of glucose and its derivatives in the blood of dairy cows during the transit period
Authors: Vlizlo Vasyl , Ostapiv Dmytro , Simonov Marian , Baumgartner Walter , Tomchuk Viktor
Published: February 2023

In dairy cows, metabolic disorders are mainly found in the last weeks of the dry period and the first weeks after calving (transit period). Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the hormonal regulation of the concentration of glucose and its derivatives in the blood of dairy cows during the transit period. The study was conducted on cows of 2-4 lactations, with a capacity of 7.8-8.2 thousand kg of milk for previous lactation. Blood for research was taken from cows 7-10 days before calving and Days 2-4, Days 10-14, and Days 30-40 after calving. The concentration of glucose in blood plasma was determined by the glucose oxidase method, pyruvate − by the modified Umbright method, lactate – by reaction with paraoxydyphenyl, and hormone content – by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. It was established that high-performance dairy cows during the transit period experience substantial changes in carbohydrate metabolism and the functional state of organs and systems, which are aimed at ensuring high productivity. Thus, hypoglycaemia is found in cows within two weeks after calving. At the same time, with a decrease in the concentration of glucose in the blood plasma of cows, the content of pyruvate and lactate increases, as well as the lactate/pyruvate ratio, which indicates an increase in gluconeogenesis. Negative energy balance and increased gluconeogenesis lead to a decrease in the synthesis of insulin and insulin-like growth factor. Compared to the final dry period, on Days 2-4 of lactation, the concentration of leptin in the blood plasma of cows decreased threefold and stayed at a low level until Day 40 of lactation. Plasma cortisol levels were highest on Days 2-4 and 10-14 of lactation. Intensive cortisol synthesis during the period of energy deficiency increases gluconeogenesis, which is possible due to lipolysis and proteolysis. In the first days after calving, the content of thyroxine and triiodothyronine in the blood plasma of cows decreased. Inhibition of thyroid hormone production is a consequence of the physiological regulatory features of this period. Thus, in highly productive cows during the transit period, attention should be paid to maintaining vital body functions and their well-coordinated endocrine regulation, which will ensure a physiologically balanced metabolic rate, successful calving, high milk productivity, and animal health
Adenovirus infections in dogs: diagnostic features
Authors: Radzykhovskyi Mykola , Dyshkant Olha , Gutyj Bogdan , Sachuk Roman , Palytsia Yuliia
Published: February 2023

In the general pathology of dogs, viral diseases occupy a leading place, and infectious hepatitis, the causative agent of which is a virus of the Adenoviridae family, is of particular concern. Recently, the virus has spread to many countries around the world, which indicates changes in the properties of the pathogen. At the same time, the epizootic situation concerning infectious diseases, including adenoviruses, whose development is influenced by the mass keeping of dogs, has worsened in Ukraine. The purpose of this study is to supplement, clarify, and generalize data on epizootological features, morphological and biochemical parameters of blood and pathological and anatomical changes in type I canine adenovirus. The following research methods were used to conduct the research: epizootological analysis, clinical (determination of the general clinical condition of animals), pathological and anatomical (detection of macroscopic changes), haematological (morphological and biochemical parameters of blood) and statistical (processing of digital data to determine the probability of changes in indicators). According to the results of comprehensive studies, it was proved that dogs of different breeds, including mongrels, are susceptible to type I adenovirus, and the peak manifestation of the disease is the spring-summer period in animals aged one to two years. Infectious hepatitis is characterized by the development of erythrocytopenia, a decrease in haematocrit, leucocytosis, and lymphocytopenia. Changes in biochemical indicators are characterized by a decrease in haemoglobin, creatinine, urea, glucose in the blood, and a decrease in the activity of α-amylase and an increase in the content of total bilirubin, hyperfermentaemia of alkaline phosphatase and alanine aminotransferase. The most pronounced pathoanatomical changes are an increase in the size of the liver with the development of necrosis, and in the gastrointestinal tract-haemorrhages in the small intestine. The multisystem pathogenic effect of the virus is characterized by nephrosis, pinpoint haemorrhages in the pancreas, and inflammatory changes have been established in the lymph nodes. As a result of an experimental study of haematological parameters and pathoanatomical changes, a complex pathogenesis of the disease with multiple organ failure was established. In the study of infectious diseases of dogs, the most important aspect is clinical and diagnostic information content. Therefore, scientific research on a more profound understanding of the diagnosis of canine adenovirus will determine the algorithm for justifying the diagnosis
Cytomorphological characteristics of necroptates of internal organs of dogs in the early post-mortem period in the aspect of forensic veterinary examination
Authors: Yatsenko Ivan , Kazantsev Roman
Published: February 2023

The relevance of the study lies in the need for forensic veterinary examination of animal corpses for scientific justification of informative diagnostic criteria for assessing the prescription of death, especially in the early post-mortem period. However, information about early post-mortem changes in dog cadavers at the microstructural level in the Ukrainian and foreign scientific literature is quite fragmentary. In this regard, the purpose of this paper is to establish the informative dynamics of the processes of cell destruction and bacterial contamination of internal organs of dog corpses during the first post-mortem day to establish probable expert criteria for the prescription of death of sub-expert animals during the forensic veterinary examination. A leading approach to the investigation of this problem is the method of obtaining a series of necroptates from lungs, heart, liver, spleen, kidney, pancreas, and brain from canine cadavers, over the same time interval during the first day after death. In cytological preparations obtained from necroptates, the number of destroyed cells and bacterial units was counted using optical microscopy. Based on the results of the dynamics of bacterial contamination and the intensity of morphological changes in spleen and pancreatic cells, their expert information content was established to solve the question of the prescription of death of dogs, regardless of weight and fatness indicators. It was found that the dynamics of bacterial contamination and cellular destruction of the brain, kidneys, and lungs of dog corpses have average expert information content, while the liver and heart are not informative. It was proved that the dynamics of destructive post-mortem processes in the cells of the compact organs of the corpses of dogs of different weight and fatness at the appropriate times probably do not differ and develop with the same intensity. The obtained results of the study will have significance both in the theory of forensic veterinary examination and directly applied, specifically when the forensic expert solves the question regarding the time limit for the death of the animal
Effectiveness of nutrient media for the recovery of lyophilisates of fastidious microorganisms: evidence from Streptococcus spp.
Authors: Boianovskyi Serhii , Rudnieva Kateryna
Published: February 2023

To restore the biological and morphological properties of fastidious bacteria during lyophilization, one of which is a type of streptococcus – bacteria of the genus Streptococcus, it is necessary to use expensive specialized nutrient media that are limited in availability for laboratories. In this regard, the purpose of this study was to find the most effective methods of preservation and recovery of fastidious microorganisms using the example of Streptococcus spp. The study was performed by a bacteriological method. The isolates of Streptococcus spp., which had the property of alpha- or beta-haemolysis, were selected for the study. The microorganisms were collected as a result of bacteriological research of pathological and biological materials from 20 animals (10 dogs and 10 cats). Microorganisms were determined and counted using Vitek 2 compact, easySpiral, and Scan 500 systems. As a result, the effectiveness of using various combinations of nutrient media for cryopreservation, freeze-drying, and further revitalization of cultures was proven. It was found that the most effective medium for lyophilization is meat-peptone broth with the addition of 5% bovine blood serum, diluted 1:1 with Faibich’s medium, and for recovery after lyophilization – meat-peptone broth with the addition of 5% blood serum cattle and 5% glucose. With this combination, the concentration of viable cells corresponded to the limits of 1.7×106 -2.4×106 CFU/cm3 . The use of other combinations of nutrient media for the revitalization of Streptococcus bacteria showed lower efficiency, which corresponded to the concentration of viable cells within 1.2×105 -2.1×106 CFU/cm3 . The obtained results increase the efficiency of the method of lyophilization of demanding cultures due to combination of non-selective nutrient media and components available in laboratory practice
