Can cognitive restructuring serve as a brief stand-alone treatment for social anxiety disorder in adolescence? An exploratory clinical trial
Authors: Félix Ana , Ferreira Ana , Vagos Paula
Published: January 2023

Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is a debilitating and chronic condition that usually arises in adolescence. Cost-effective interventions provided early on may alter its usually chronic trajectory. This study evaluated changes following a brief cognitive restructuring intervention with 14 adolescent girls, against a waitlist control group, on social anxiety, fear of negative and positive evaluation and negative automatic thoughts. Predictors of post-intervention social anxiety scores were also investigated. Results show that social anxiety fluctuated similarly for both groups. Distinctive significant change was found only for performing in formal social situations following the intervention. Change in frequency of automatic negative thoughts significantly predicted post-intervention social anxiety for measures relating to anxiety when interacting and being observed by others. Cognitive restructuring may provide significant change by altering the content (and not the frequency) of thoughts and, in its current short form, may be relevant to the specific performance type of SAD.

Published: January 2023

The article addresses the issues that are related to the administrative discretion amid digital transformation of public administration. The Author researches the change of “generations” of public officials — streetlevel, screen-level, system-level bureaucrats, reveals practical aspects of public officials and citizens interaction during different periods of time. Special attention is paid to the qualitative and quantitative transformations of discretionary powers of executive bodies and their officials: the Author mentions key scientific approaches to the issue of change of scope and content of discretionary powers, examines the public attitude to corresponding processes (on the example of the provision of public services institution), summarizes experience of some countries in gradual automation of executive and administrative activity in general and several administrative functions in particular. Moreover, so called digital discretion (digital administrative discretion, artificial discretion), its positive and negative sides, difficulties during the implementation are researched.
A Bayesian Lasso Logistic Regression Model for Predicting the Probability of Regional Seismic Phase Observation UsingSnin the Middle East and East Asia as Examples
Authors: Hui Hongjun , Nandy Saikat , Holan Scott H. , Pan Jingjing , Li Duyi , Sandvol Eric A.
Published: January 2023

High-frequency seismic wave blockage is often the result of strong attenuation, and the regional phase Sn is particularly prone to blockage in comparison with any of the other regional phases including Lg. As widespread blockage can lead to difficulty in the estimation of source parameters or path attenuation, accurate characterization of efficient regional wave propagation is necessary. We have applied two approaches to map Sn phase blockage: (1) the relatively standardized efficiency tomography and (2) a newly developed Bayesian logistic regression model that is able to predict the likelihood (probability) of phase blockage. As a byproduct of our Bayesian approach, we obtain measures of uncertainty for the probability of blockage. We applied both our methods on simulated efficiency data as well as real efficiency data obtained from earthquakes and stations from the middle east and eastern Asia. Our models successfully predict the probability of blockage zones with relatively high accuracy (>75%). In addition, we observe both low probability of Sn blockage and efficient Sn propagation in tectonically stable continental lithosphere, such as the Arabian plate, the Mediterranean Sea, northeastern Iran, the Ordos plateau, and the Sichuan basin. Regions with a high probability of Sn blockage or inefficient Sn propagation zones are in the tectonically active areas, such as the Tibetan and Iranian plateaus. Our probability of blockage model can also be used to image the regions where SnQ models are likely to be biased due to blocked data.

Background: Reducing neonatal mortality of preterm infants is a public health priority in developing countries. The objective of this study was to study the risk factors for mortality of preterm infants in the neonatology department of UHCME-JEF.
Methods: A retrospective, analytical study was done over 36 months (January 2019-December 2021) in the neonatology department of UHCME-JEF. Maternal and newborn parameters were studied. All hospitalized preterm newborns were included.
Results: The prevalence of prematurity was 44.6%. The mortality rate was 18.7%. The mean age of mothers was 28.05±6.5 years. They were unemployed (69.4%) and single (73.6%). The three main causes of death were sepsis (41.7%), respiratory failure (26.0%), and anoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (15.3%). The risk factors associated with death were multiparity [p=0.001, OR=2.0, IC 95% (1.32-3.00)], pre-existing maternal diabetes [p=0.007, OR=2.4, IC 95% (1.31-4.52)], prenatal check-up not done [p=0, 024, OR=1.5 IC 95% (1.04-2.05)], GA<28SA [p<0.001, OR=1.8 IC 95% (1.24 -2.71)], Apgar <3 at the first [p=0.036, OR=1.8, IC 95% (1.21-2.76)] and fifth minute [p=0.010, OR=3.2, IC 95% (1.35-7.74)] resuscitation at birth [p=0.017, OR=1.5, IC 95% (1.04-2.05)], birth weight <1000 g (p=0.001, OR=2.8, IC 95% (1.92-4.23)], hypotonia [p=0.001, OR=1.6, IC 95% (1.23-2.32)], asphyxia [p=0.020, OR=1.7 CI 95% (1.09-2.55)], hypothermia [p<0.001, OR=2.1, CI 95% (1.56-2.86)], the presence of thrombocytopenia [p=0.001, OR=1.9, CI 95% (1.62-2.93)] and glycemic dysregulation [p=0.001, OR=2.8, CI 95% (2.09-3.73)].
Conclusions: The mortality of preterm newborns remains a major problem in our department. It is necessary to promote good surveillance of pregnancy, and correct care of premature infants in the delivery room and hospitalization.

Published: January 2023

Background: Anemia is a major nutritional problem worldwide especially in developing countries. This research was conducted to find the incidence of severe anemia, to identify the common clinical features and etiology of it and to assess the requirement of packed red cell transfusion.
Methods: All patients having severe anemia (hemoglobin <7 gm/dl in 6-59 months and <8 gm/dl in 5-14 years as per WHO definition) between 6-14 years were included in this study. Detailed medical history, anthropometric measurements and clinical examination were done. Complete blood count, peripheral smear, reticulocyte count and stool microscopy were done in all patients. Then anemia classified morphologically into microcytic, normocytic, macrocytic and dimorphic. Further investigations were done according to the peripheral smear to identify the etiology of severe anemia.
Results: During the study period, 84 patients of severe anemia were hospitalized with incidence of 2.57%. It was more common in male in 6 months to 5 years and in female in 10-14 years age. 67% patients had microcytic, 28% had dimorphic and 2.5% each had normocytic and macrocytic anemia. The most common anemia was iron deficiency (82%) followed by anemia of chronic disease (17%), hemolytic anemia (12%), megaloblastic anemia (7%) and blood loss anemia (1%). Packed red cell transfusion was required in 16 (19%) patients with severe anemia.
Conclusions: Good clinical examination with peripheral smear is helpful in classifying the anemia morphologically. Following this, the use of investigations as per the standard flow charts, helps in identification of etiology.

Authors: Agrawal Nidhi , Barua Devendra , Bhandari Pranay
Published: January 2023

Background: Stature is methodically described as height vertex. Short stature can be defined as an individual in whom height is two standard deviations below the standard mean height of a given sex, age and population.
Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted in 200 children attending endocrine OPD over 12 months from October 2019 to September 2020 with complaints of short stature to study the clinical and radiological profile of children between 2-15 years of age.
Results: Totally 200 children with short stature were studied in age group less than 15 years. Total no. of males were 105 (52.5%) and females were 95 (47.5%). The highest percentage of patients i.e., 38.5% belonged to 5-10 years followed by 36% who were of 10-15 years of age group while, the least i.e., only 25.5% belonged to <5 years of age group.
Conclusions: In our study endocrine causes are most common including hypothyroid (27.5%), GHD (2.5%) and adrenal insufficiency (1%). 2nd most common are normal variants CDGP (11.5%) and FSS (9%). After endocrine causes this dominance of normal variants of growth is in accordance with other worldwide studies. Thus, it is very important to remember that many cases of short stature in general population may be normal, as determined by meticulous measurements, and determination of bone age using standard charts and expert’s radiological opinion.

Authors: Gargi H. Pathak  , Anuya V. Chauhan  , Dhara K. Gosai  , Maulik Kumar R. Patel
Published: January 2023

Background: LBW is defined as weight at birth less than 2.5kg irrespective of gestational age. LBW neonate remains at much higher risk of morbidity and mortality than normal birth weight baby. Morbidity and mortality among LBW babies are a major health problem in our country, so it’s important to identify risk factors.
Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted on 153 extramural LBW neonates admitted in Neonatal intensive care unit of civil hospital, BJ medical college Ahmedabad from April 2021 to January 2022.
Results: Out of 153 neonates, 94 (61.4%) were preterm, appropriate for gestational age and 59 (38.6%) were small for gestational age including 41 (26.8%) term and 18 (11.8%) preterm. 16 (10%) were extremely LBW neonates and 28 (18%) were very low birth weight neonates. 77 (53%) neonates were late preterm and term gestational age. Most common indication of NICU admission was respiratory distress syndrome in 53 (27.8%) followed by sepsis 35 (18.4%), neonatal hyperbilirubinemia 22 (11.6%), birth asphyxia 15 (7.8%) and prematurity+LBW 16 (8.4%).
Conclusions: Majority of LBW babies were preterm AGA babies. Respiratory distress syndrome, sepsis, birth asphyxia, prematurity and neonatal hyperbilirubinemia are major causes of admission. While, Respiratory distress syndrome, sepsis and birth asphyxia were common causes of expires. Respiratory distress syndrome is most common cause of morbidity and mortality in low-birth-weight babies. Appropriate and effective use of oxygen delivery system, surfactant, safe, early and effective transportation of neonates should be advised.

Authors: Joseph Dibin , Keithellakpam Sunilbala
Published: January 2023

Background: Fluid and electrolyte derangement are the immediate causes that increases the mortality in diarrhea. The present study was carried out among children of 4 months to 5 years with dehydration due to acute diarrhea to determine the serum electrolyte profile.
Methods: A hospital based cross   sectional study was carried out in department of pediatrics, RIMS during a period of two years (sept 2019-Aug 2021).
Results: A total of 195 patients of 4 months to 5 years of age group presented with acute gastroenteritis were included in the study, among them hyponatreamia  was the most frequent electrolyte abnormality noted (37.4%). Most (65.5%) of hyponatremic patients in our study took dilute ORS whereas majority (64.2%) of patients who took appropriate ORS had normal serum sodium levels. Frequency and duration of diarrhea, dehydration status and inappropriate ORS were significant risk factors for serum electrolyte and acid base imbalances.
Conclusions: Electrolyte abnormalities were significantly associated with frequency and duration of diarrhea, dehydration status and inappropriate ORS administration. Hence, timely recognition and management of electrolyte abnormalities and appropriate ORS administration improves outcome in acute gastroenteritis related dehydration in children.
Radiological signs in osteopetrosis
Authors: Kumar Nitish , Singh Tanya
Published: January 2023

Osteopetrosis, or marble bone disease, is a rare genetic metabolic bone disease initially described by Albers-Schönberg in 1904. Osteopetrosis includes a clinically heterogeneous group of conditions characterized by increased bone density due to a defect in bone resorption by osteoclasts. The osteoclasto-genesis as well as the osteoclastic activity may be distorted. Clinical symptoms of osteopetrosis vary greatly in their presentation and severity as the spectrum ranges from the neonatal onset with life-threatening complications to incidental findings of osteopetrosis on radiographs. Diagnosis is based on clinical and radiographic evaluation, confirmed by bone biopsy and genetic testing. Treatment depends on the symptoms and severity of the disease and requires a multidisciplinary team approach.
A retrospective comparative study of postoperative bleeding after coblation tonsillectomy versus noncoblation tonsillectomy in North Indian population
Authors: Khan Abdul R.
Published: January 2023

Background: This study was done to look at the difference in incidence of postoperative bleeding after tonsillectomy using coblation or noncoblation.
Methods: A review of all the cases of tonsillectomy done at NIMS Medical college from January 2019 to September 2022 was done to ascertain type of tonsillectomy performed and the presence of postoperative bleeding. Statistical analysis was done by chi-square test to determine a statistical difference between the postoperative bleeding rate of coblation and noncoblation method. The Cochraine-Armitage test of linear trend was done to measure change in the postoperative bleeds. The tested term was divided into two-month durations, and the coblation postoperative bleeds were checked for every 2-month period.
Results: 238 tonsillectomies were performed. The postoperative bleed rate for noncoblation tonsillectomy was 3.4% (8/238) and 5/238 (2.1%) in coblation tonsillectomy. No statistical difference (p=0.93) was found between bleed rates for coblation versus noncoblation techniques. There was no difference seen in the need for operative intervention to control postoperative bleeding: 8 (5.4% of only non coblated patients and 3.4% of all tonsillectomy patients) for noncoblation procedure and 5 (5.6% of only coblated patients and 2.1% of all tonsillectomy patients) for coblation procedures (p=0.25). Postoperative bleed rates in coblation patients for the 2-month periods did not reveal an increasing or decreasing trend in the bleed rate (p=0.49).
Conclusions: Coblation tonsillectomy is a safe method for performing tonsillar surgery with no significant difference in postoperative bleeding from previous techniques and no increased need for operative intervention to control postoperative bleeding.

Background: The second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in India was associated with an increased incidence of rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis. The objective of this paper was to prospectively explore the epidemiology, management, and results of 18 months follow-up of patients presenting with COVID associated mucormycosis at a tertiary referral centre in India.
Methods: Patients presenting with symptoms suggestive of COVID-associated mucormycosis over two months were included in the study. Patients were staged based on the extent of the disease. Surgery was the primary modality of treatment except in those with intracranial spread, altered sensorium, and poor prognosis. A combination of liposomal amphotericin B and posaconazole was used as adjunct medical treatment. Patients were followed up and outcomes at one year of treatment were recorded.
Results: Out of a total of 26 patients who were diagnosed with COVID associated mucormycosis, 21 patients underwent bimodality treatment (medical and surgical). The extent of surgery was based on the stage of the disease. Six eyes received retrobulbar injections of Amphotericin B to salvage vision. The overall mortality was 38.46% and 23.8% in those where the intent of treatment was curative. At the end of one year, 16 of 21 operated patients survived with mild to severe sequelae.
Conclusions: Mucormycosis is a deadly fungal infection with high mortality. Early diagnosis and prompt, aggressive treatment is paramount in preventing mortality. A multidisciplinary approach is useful for effective management. Continuous follow up is paramount to identifying and treating complications.
Methodology of designing a space transport system including a “DM” chemical upper stage and an electric rocket transport module
Authors: Russkikh A. S. , Salmin V. V.
Published: January 2023

The article is devoted to the development of a methodology for designing a space transport system that has, in comparison with traditional injection scenarios, higher characteristics of the mass of the payload to be launched into high-energy orbits, including a geostationary one. The method is implemented by the systematization of design calculations and proposals for the rational design of interorbital vehicles with a combined propulsion system and the development of an algorithm for creating an electronic model of an interorbital vehicle in an automated designing PTC Creo system. The article considers algorithms for calculating the design parameters of the electric rocket transport module and ballistic parameters of the spacecraft flight to the target orbit. A method of forming conceptual design of an electric rocket transport module based on the obtained design parameters is also proposed. An electronic model of an electric rocket module was developed in a three-dimensional modeling system. The model displays the structural design of the module in accordance with the design parameters obtained and satisfies the design requirements imposed by other components of the space transport system. The proposed method makes it possible to design a space transport system that includes a DM upper stage and an electric rocket transport module designed to implement a combined payload injection scenario.

Published: January 2023

The study addresses the effect of thermal treatment on the mechanical properties and grain size of magnesium rich alloys with small scandium additions 1570, 1580 and 1590. The effect of preheat temperature (within 260440 С range) and soaking time (within 2 100 hours range) on yield strength, tensile strength and relative elongation of the alloys under investigation was analyzed. Mechanical properties were determined using uniaxial tensile tests in accordance with ISO 6892-1. In addition, for some modes the microstructure was studied for Al3Mg2 -phase presence and distribution by optical metallography methods depending on thermal treatment conditions. The studies demonstrated that supersaturated solid solution in the 1570 alloy decomposes faster in the entire studied temperature range, and after 48 hours soaking, its strength properties start degrading. At the same time, the 1580 and 1590 alloys are much more thermally stable, with slightly lower yield strength after long soaking time, while tensile strength remains unchanged. The conditions of 260 C annealing temperature are not favorable for plastic properties, severely degrading (due to -phase formation) in the 1570 and 1580 alloys. Plastic properties degradation is not so evident at higher soaking temperature, however, the 1590 alloy maintains the highest plasticity indices.
Methods of enforcing obligations and the astrent institute in civil law of Russia

Published: January 2023

The formation and development of human society, the deepening, expansion and complication of economic, economic and interpersonal relations between interacting subjects, as well as a high degree of integration and convergence of modern political, economic and legal systems of various states inevitably entail the formulation of significant scientific problems and challenges for researchers in a wide variety of fields. In this sense, the doctrine and practical implementation of the branch of civil law are no exception: the rapidly changing conditions of economic activity and trade and economic turnover naturally force the legislator and the scientific community to search for new, more modern and relevant instruments of legal regulation of a wide range of civil legal relations between subjects that in essence, they form the economic turnover within a particular society and state. This trend, with varying degrees of intensity, affects all sub-sectors and institutions of civil law, including ways to ensure civil law obligations: undoubtedly, today there are many ways for development. Ensuring the proper performance of civil obligations by the subjects of civil law is one of the most important and, as a result, controversial, problematic issues both in domestic and foreign civil law doctrine and in extensive law enforcement practice. In this regard, of central importance is the scientific consideration and study of specific ways to ensure the fulfillment of obligations, many of which are gradually being legally enshrined in the legislation of the Russian Federation. At the same time, due to the lack of real practical experience, as well as the insufficiency of doctrinal sources, the essence of many of them, as well as the relevance and necessity of their application, causes serious disagreement among the scientific and professional legal community. One of these institutions at this stage is the institute of astrent. The article is devoted to the consideration of some problematic aspects of determining the theoretical essence of astrent, which may affect subsequent clarifications or changes in the text of the relevant regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation. The aim of the work is an attempt to determine the theoretical essence of the institute of astrent in connection with the dual nature of its most significant legal features.
Some problems of qualification of crimes related to suicide
Authors: Nurkayeva T. N. , Artamonova M. A.
Published: January 2023

This article shows some of the problems that arise in the qualification of crimes related to suicide. These include: the definition of the form of guilt as part of the incitement to suicide; the moment of the end of the inclination to commit suicide; the differentiation of the main components of the incitement to suicide and the inclination to commit suicide, depending on the nature of the threat, etc. The ways of their solution are proposed, in particular, the opinion is defended that committing suicide is possible only with intent (direct or indirect), a careless form of guilt is excluded, since this contradicts the dangerous ways of committing it; it is proved that the moment of the end of the inclination to commit suicide is inextricably linked with the moment of manifestation in some form of suicidal behavior of the victim under the influence of illegal actions of the perpetrator.
Principles of penal law and problems of guaranteeing the rights of convicts
Authors: Adoyevskaya O. A.
Published: January 2023

The article identifies and analyzes the problems of guaranteeing the rights of convicts in connection with the principles of penitentiary law. The author comes to the conclusion that not all general and special rights of convicts are guaranteed by the penitentiary legislation in accordance with the principles of penitentiary law. In order to implement the principle of humanism and prevent treatment that degrades human dignity, it is necessary to fix at the legislative level measures that prevent overcrowding of institutions of the penitentiary system. The article analyzes international and foreign experience in terms of developing communications of convicts sentenced to deprivation of liberty with the outside world. The necessity of increasing the number of long-term and short-term visits for persons serving sentences in ordinary and light conditions of correctional colonies is substantiated. Increasing the number of visits and telephone conversations for convicts with relatives will contribute to maintaining family ties and successful resocialization practices. It is proposed to include in the educational programs of the School for Preparation for Release in Correctional Institutions topics devoted to technologies for the restoration and development of socially useful ties of convicts. It is concluded that in the formation and implementation of the penitentiary policy, it is necessary to comply with the principles of national penitentiary law and the generally recognized principles of international law, as well as ensuring the compliance of penitentiary norms of the practice of their application with constitutional provisions.
Suffrage of persons deprived of liberty: positions of the European Court of Human Rights and the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation
Authors: Samovich Yu. V. , Yun L. V.
Published: January 2023

Recently, the importance of finding a clear and, most importantly, a stable balance between private and public interests has become increasingly important. Complex relations between countries, between judicial institutions, regional associations, state sovereignty, which has once again found itself in the place of globalization, are one of the few factors that force a different assessment of interstate interactions. The issue of the electoral rights of persons who are in places of deprivation of liberty in the domestic legislation of Russia and international law is regulated differently in the Russian Federation, persons who are serving time for criminal acts committed cannot use their active suffrage. This norm finds its formal consolidation in the Basic Law of Russia (Part 3 of Article 32). Protocol 1 to the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms in Article 3 does not formally reflect restrictions on subjects entitled to vote, defining only the requirement for States to hold free elections with reasonable frequency by secret ballot in conditions that ensure the free expression of the will of the people when choosing legislative authorities. It was this discrepancy that led to the issuance of a pilot resolution to Russia and the United Kingdom, which is in a similar position. The purpose of this article is to review the positions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation and the ECHR to assess objectivity in the fundamental issue of respect for human rights and the right of the state to its own opinion. And although on September 16, the Russian Federation completed the procedure for denouncing the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, and, accordingly, the rulings of the European Court of Justice no longer apply to Russia, this analysis seems important how objective and impartial an international judicial body be to resolve internal issues of the State and is it capable of doing so? The result of the reflections led to the conclusion that there is a need for a conceptual revision of the relationship between national and interstate courts in general, especially taking into account the subsidiary nature of international justice and the instability of the legal positions of international judicial institutions.

Polish Deal from an internal auditor’s perspective. Purpose: Identification and characterization of the risks whose main factor is Polish Deal. The risks are considered from the perspective of the employer, regardless of its organizational and legal form, in terms of personal income tax. Design/methodology/approach: A literature survey of peer-reviewed journal articles, survey reports and books on risk management and internal audit is used as the research methodology. Legal acts were also analysed. Findings: Polish Deal is the implementation of government policy and from the point of view of risk analysis is the materialization of political risk. It required changes in legislation, which in turn triggered the need for organizations to take action to adapt to the modified legal requirements. Political risk resulted in the materialization of legislative risk. Legislative risk associated with the Polish Order, in turn, is associated with the emergence of eight categories of risks at the operational level of the organization: tax risk, legal risk, HR risk, technology risk, communication risk along with image risk, and two multidimensional risks – organizational risk and financial risk.

Polish Deal from the perspective of the tax advisory services / profession. Purpose: The aim of the chapter is to show the impact of the tax changes called Polish Deal, on the development of new tax services and how they have changed the tax advisory profession. Were these changes significant enough to give rise to new services and change the tax advice profession? Design/methodology/approach: The impact of tax changes on the activities of tax advisory services was analysed and discussed. Findings: Due to the fact that the changes were very significant and affected basically all taxpayers, it caused a huge interest in tax issues in the media and public space. And consequently, this has resulted in an increased demand for tax advisory services. New services were created, the support of advisors was sought primarily by employers trying to understand the impact of the changes on the net salaries of their employees, and thus the costs in companies.

Polish Deal from the perspective of legal persons taxation. Purpose: The aim of the paper is providing the characteristics and general evaluation of influence directions and tax efficiency of selected regulations introduced to the Corporate Income Tax Act, so called Estonian CIT, minimal income tax and enterprise restructuring taxation (introduced to corporate income tax as a part of Polish Deal). Design/methodology/approach: Due to the recent time of introducing the solutions and limited accessibility of empirical data, the method of the analysis of possible financial consequences and the legal-comparative method have been used. The demonstration of basic financial consequences for business entities and the budget that result from the introduced regulations has been attempted. Findings: The evaluation of the Estonian CIT construction from the point of view of facilitation of the business development activity and cheapening of self-financing costs is generally positive. The minimal income tax as an attempt in insulating the corporate income tax using multipart tax base is not evaluated in such an unequivocal way. The revenue taxation, being a part of the tax base, may bring regular income to the budget. The effective estimation and control of the remaining elements of the tax base may be more difficult.

На материале избранных стихотворений поэта прослеживается как связь с литературной традицией, так и модификации универсального образа. Применяется семиотический подход, в котором пространство рассматривается как самостоятельная миромоделирующая категория (В. Н. Топоров и Ю. М. Лотман).
В поэтической картине мира Кушнера сад – ценностно значимый образ, он многолик и полифункционален. Его трансформации связаны с индивидуальным восприятием сада/садов, а именно с новым типом взаимоотношений лирического героя и изображаемого пространства. Для поэта сад – один из главных героев его городского (и дачного) пейзажа. Многообразие его поэтических воплощений позволяет констатировать, что это место с исключительной атмосферой, оазис поэтического воображения, метафора творческого сознания, пространство воспоминаний – личных, исторических, культурных, зона контакта двух пространств – реального и воображаемого, место встречи с любимой, с поэтами-предшественниками, пространство, где совмещаются прошлое и настоящее, жизнь и творчество. Независимо от тематики, пафоса, интонации (лирической, драматической, иронической) в лирике Кушнера сад становится «входом» в иное пространство, пространство вечности.
Ольфакторий Сергея Есенина и особенности его воспроизведения в переводах на польский язык (на примере избранных произведений)
Authors: Curkan-Dróżka Ełona
Published: January 2023

Сергей Есенин – один из самых популярных русских поэтов в Польше. Интерес к его поэзии не угасает с момента появления первых переводов произведений Инония и Товарищ на польский язык в 1922 г.
Несмотря на то, что вот уже на протяжении века литературное наследие Есенина профессионально исследуется польскими учеными, а также не перестает привлекать внимание реципиентов, в  творчестве русского поэта продолжают оставаться лакуны, требующие изучения. Автор статьи исследует роль запахов в стихотворениях Сергея Есенина, учитывая их изменения на протяжении всех этапов творчества – от юношеских произведений до последних текстов. Данный подход дает возможность представить не только мировоззрение поэта, его глубокую связь с русской культурой, но и проследить отражение в творчестве индивидуальной языковой картины мира. В статье также представлен относительно новый взгляд на рецепцию поэзии Есенина в Польше, а именно особенности и сложности перевода на польский язык ольфакторных образов, используемых поэтом для передачи глубоких эмоций.
Subverting hierarchies in Italian productions of ancient drama
Authors: Giovannelli Maddalena
Published: January 2023

A través de tres ejemplos voy a mostrar cómo la abolición de las jerarquías es una característica común a varias producciones italianas recientes de obras del teatro clásico. Es un fenómeno general, que, alterando clasificaciones y axiologías, se nota con particular evidencia en las adaptaciones de tragedias. "Fedra risita a tranci" (2011), dirigido por Andrea Cosentino, actor y director, constituye un ejemplo de abolición de la jerarquía de los personajes. El protagonista ya no es el pivote de lo que pasa en la escena, pues su papel pasa a las manos de varios personajes, todos al mismo nivel, cuya identidad es proporcionada a través de una estructura fragmentaria. Al mismo tiempo, el acto trágico en sí pierde su predominancia: en el teatro moderno hay varios eventos dramáticos, que se suceden a lo largo del espectáculo. Es el caso de La Madre (2010, peculiar adaptación de Medea a cargo de Mimmo Borrelli, joven actor y dramaturgo. Con Edipo, tragedia dei sensi (1996), de Massimo Munari, un espectáculo dirigido a una sola persona que comparte las experiencias del protagonista a través de los cinco sentidos, me concentraré en la abolición de roles distintos para actores y espectadores: estos dos papeles se han ido mezclando y los espectadores han sido progresivamente implicados en la acción escénica. Finalmente, con la adaptación de Las Troyanas de Eurípides por la joven compañía Muta Imago (2011) daré un ejemplo de espectáculo basado casi exclusivamente en sugestiones verbales, que rompe la axiología según la cual la palabra prevalece sobre los gestos.
Recenzja książki: René Nünlist , The ancient critic at work. Terms and concepts of literary criticism in Greek Scholia, Cambridge University Press, New York 2009, s. 459.
Authors: Chiżyńska Katarzyna
Published: January 2023

In this volume are included two flattering reviews, first of Eleanor Dickey, Ancient Greek scholarship: a guide to finding, reading and understanding scholia, commentaries, lexica and grammatical treatises, from their beginnings to the Byzantine period (New York 2007) and the second of René Nünlist, The ancient critic at work. Terms and concepts of literary criticism in Greek scholia (New York 2009). Both reviewed works focuses on Greek scholarship and are very helpful for modern scholars with understanding ancient literary criticism and reading scholia. Scientists rarely use Greek commentaries, because of their technical and philological difficulties, especially because of particular writing and vocabulary, used by scholiasts. There are very few works concerning this theme, so any new published results of researches this kind is priceless. Moreover both reviewed works are of highest scientific level.
O ESTADÃO CONTRA A POLÍTICA ECONÔMICA DE DILMA ROUSSEFF (2011-2015)
Authors: GUILHERME CÁSSIO AUGUSTO
Published: January 2023

Este artigo narra e discute o posicionamento contrário do jornal O Estado de S. Paulo (Estadão) à política econômica da presidenta Dilma Rousseff (2011-2015). Para tanto, utiliza como fonte os editoriais publicados pelo periódico no período, em debate com parte da bibliografia pertinente ao tema. A hipótese inicial é que o jornal manteve sua histórica postura pró-neoliberal e anti-estatizante para se opor à presidenta no plano econômico e, consequentemente, fazer-lhe oposição política. Ao defender o afastamento de Dilma via impeachment, o jornal abusou da narrativa alarmista sobre um suposto desastre econômico promovido pela presidenta, em especial, por conta das “pedaladas fiscais”.
FAZEM VIDA DA LAVOURA: as condições dos lavradores pobres paranaenses no caminho de Viamão (1731-1794)
Authors: PONTAROLO FÁBIO
Published: January 2023

O artigo problematiza a mudança nas formas de coerção e de inserção socioeconômica dos lavradores pobres do território dos Campos Gerais paranaenses pelo governo paulista no decorrer do século XVIII. Arregimentados à força para a composição dos corpos de milícia para novas ocupações, os roceiros pobres buscaram resistir aos recrutamentos para manter seus modos de vida nas terras das vilas paranaenses sob o governo de São Paulo a partir da década de 1730. Instalados em pequenas propriedades nas margens do caminho de Viamão, na rota do intenso comércio de gado entre a capitania do Rio Grande e São Paulo, esses homens e mulheres também desenvolveram função econômica fundamental no abastecimento das tropas e das vilas que formavam as engrenagens da economia do tropeirismo de gado nos Campos Gerais do Paraná.
POR UM COOPERATIVISMO VITORIOSO NA AMAZÔNIA: as estratégias e as ações do Cooperativista Bruno de Menezes (1940 – 1955)
Authors: FELIX RENAN BRIGIDO NASCIMENTO
Published: January 2023

O presente artigo objetiva discutir o cooperativismo operacionalizado pelo literato paraense Bento Bruno de Menezes Costa, com produções variadas no universo das letras. Entretanto, interessa-nos conectar a doutrina mutualista presente em seus textos, discutindo os aspectos doutrinários, correlacionado a prática de fundação de sociedades mutualistas, que seriam, em sua opinião, a maneira a maneira mais viável de os agricultores da Amazônia enfrentarem o isolamento ao agregarem forças. Analisa-se o tipo de política pública voltada à questão agrária, desdobrada no estado do Pará, nas décadas de 1940 e 1950, para tanto propomos observar a mediação do Serviço de Assistência ao Cooperativismo, uma vez que Bruno de Menezes foi servidor da mesma por um período de dez anos, entre 1945 a 1955. Nesse sentido, utilizamos como metodologia o redimensionamento histórico, proposto pela historiadora Márcia Motta a fim de superar ações dos militantes cooperativistas, reduzidos à mera categorização ideólogos da causa.
A MEDIAÇÃO E A INTERAÇÃO NO DESENVOLVIMENTO DA EXPRESSÃO ORAL NA MODALIDADE A DISTÂNCIA
Authors: Santos Dilma Heloisa , Santos Rodrigo Otávio dos
Published: January 2023

Este trabalho tem por objetivo refletir sobre a mediação, tanto a pedagógica, quanto a tecnológica, bem como sobre o processo de interação para a compreensão destes conceitos nas práticas de tutoria na perspectiva que provém do interacionismo social, uma vez que se considera o caráter social da linguagem. Para tal consultou-se Vygotsky (1989), Bakhtin (1997), Ostermann e Cavalcanti (2010), Koll (2010), Kenski (2003), Saraiva (2010), Tonelli-Santos (20013), Bauman (2001), Souza (2005), Ubry (2010) e Neder (2005).  Para os teóricos que embasam a pesquisa, a aprendizagem se dá por meio da mediação e da interação com outras pessoas e artefatos. Dessa forma, pode-se ver no interacionismo social um apoio para uma proposta de formação contínua para o ensino de línguas e, consequentemente, um enfoque online para seu desenvolvimento. Esta é uma pesquisa bibliográfica de caráter qualitativo que envolve e discute as questões pertinentes ao desenvolvimento da expressão oral no ensino de língua estrangeira na modalidade à distância. O resultado demonstrou que é necessário utilizar não apenas o Moodle, mas uma plataforma comunicacional como o Google Meet ou o Skype para desenvolver a expressão oral. No entanto, é necessária, sobretudo, uma prática de mediação pedagógica para utilizar as ferramentas e apropriar-se dela e desenvolver o conteúdo. O professor-tutor deve passar por uma formação que lhe proporcione saberes pedagógicos e tecnológicos objetivando a interação com o acadêmico, uma vez que é na interação com professores, colegas, artefatos e sociedade que o acadêmico conseguirá desenvolver a expressão oral em diferentes contextos discursivos.
