Authors: Salam Abdul , Irsyad Syaiful Muhammad
Published: May 2020

In Indonesia, one of the institutions that can be considered a Muhtasib institution in the sharia financial sector is the Financial Services Authority (OJK). As Law Number 21 of 2011, the OJK has the function of organizing an integrated system of regulation and supervision of all activities in the financial services sector which include financial service activities in the Banking sector; financial service activities in the Capital Market sector; and financial service activities in the Insurance, Pension Funds, Financing Institutions and Other Financial Services Institutions sectors, including the Islamic finance industry sector. This study will unravel the extent of the role of the FSA as the Muhtasib in the Islamic finance industry in Indonesia, especially in the regional areas of Central Java and D.I. Yogyakarta.

This research did 2 (two) kinds of research, they are field of study and literature study. The collecting data of this research through observation and non-structured interview. The methode of data collection is conducting  interviews  with  the Central Java OJK, OJK D.I. Yogyakarta.

The conclusion of this study is that the role of the Financial Services Authority (OJK) in Regional Region 3 of Central Java and Yogyakarta as a Muhtasib institution in supervising the Islamic financial industry in Central Java and Yogyakarta is quite significant, although with some notes, including the position of OJK Regional 3 Central Java and DIY Yogyakarta which is only able to reach Islamic financial institutions (LKS) whose head office is located in Central Java and Yogyakarta, while LKS only has branch offices in Central Java and Yogyakarta Yogyakarta. Is the authority of the Regional OJK 3 of Central Java and DIYogyakarta, meaning that it is the domain of the authority of the Central OJK in Jakarta. The problem is if there is a violation or an act that is against the law, then the Regional OJK 3 of Central Java and D.I. Yogyakarta is only reporting or coordinating with the Central OJK. The Financial Services Authority (OJK) in Region 3 of Central Java and Yogyakarta Yogyakarta has carried out its function as an actress in the context of violations of law or criminal acts, in which the OJK has played a function as an investigator and then reported to law enforcement officials (APH ) and submitted to the judicial process. However, related to the implementation of the Microfinance Institution Law, OJK has not been able to carry out its function as a constitutional acter in enforcing Article 39 of the LKM Law regarding the existence of BMTs in the community which should abide and comply with licensing regulations under the OJK

Prediction Model for Timing of Death in Potential Donors After Circulatory Death (DCD III): Protocol for a Multicenter Prospective Observational Cohort Study
Authors: Kotsopoulos Angela M M , Vos Piet , Jansen Nichon E , Bronkhorst Ewald M , van der Hoeven Johannes G , Abdo Wilson F
Published: May 2020

Background

Controlled donation after circulatory death (cDCD) is a major source of organs for transplantation. A potential cDCD donor poses considerable challenges in terms of identification of those dying within the predefined time frame of warm ischemia after withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment (WLST) to circulatory arrest. Several attempts have been made to develop models predicting the time between treatment withdrawal and circulatory arrest. This time window determines whether organ donation can occur and influences the quality of the donated organs. However, the selected patients used for these models were not always restricted to potential cDCD donors (eg, patients with cancer or severe infections were also included). This severely limits the generalizability of those data.

Objective

The objectives of this study are the following: (1) to develop a model predicting time to death within 60 minutes in potential cDCD patients; (2) to validate and update previous prediction models on time to death after WLST; (3) to determine timing and patient characteristics that are associated with prognostication and the decision-making process that leads to initiating end-of-life care; (4) to evaluate the impact of timing of family approach on organ donation approval; and (5) to assess the influence of variation in WLST processes on postmortem organ donor potential and actual postmortem organ donors.

Methods

In this multicenter observational prospective cohort study, all patients admitted to the intensive care unit of 3 university hospitals and 3 teaching hospitals who met the criteria of the cDCD protocol as defined by the Dutch Transplant Foundation were included. The target of enrolment was set to 400 patients. Previously developed models will be refitted in our data set. To further update previous prediction models, we will apply least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) as a tool for efficient variable selection to develop the multivariable logistic regression model.

Results

This protocol was funded in August 2014 by the Dutch Transplant Foundation. We expect to have the results of this study in July 2020. Patient enrolment was completed in July 2018 and data collection was completed in April 2020.

Conclusions

This study will provide a robust multimodal prediction model, based on clinical and physiological parameters, that can predict time to circulatory arrest in cDCD donors. In addition, it will add valuable insight in the process of WLST in cDCD donors and will fill an important knowledge gap in this essential field of health care.

Self-Administered Skills-Based Virtual Reality Intervention for Chronic Pain: Randomized Controlled Pilot Study
Authors: Darnall Beth D , Krishnamurthy Parthasarathy , Tsuei Jeannette , Minor Jorge D
Published: May 2020

Background

Patients with chronic pain often have limited access to comprehensive care that includes behavioral pain management strategies. Virtual reality (VR) is an immersive technology and emerging digital behavioral pain therapy with analgesic efficacy for acute pain. We found no scientific literature on skills-based VR behavioral programs for chronic pain populations.

Objective

The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of a self-administered VR program that included content and skills informed by evidence-based behavioral treatment for chronic pain. The secondary aim is to determine the preliminary efficacy of the VR program in terms of average pain intensity and pain-related interference with activity, stress, mood, and sleep, and its impact on pain-related cognition and self-efficacy. The tertiary aim was to conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) and compare the VR treatment with an audio-only treatment. This comparison isolated the immersive effects of the VR program, thereby informing potential mechanisms of effect.

Methods

We conducted an RCT involving a web-based convenience sample of adults (N=97) aged 18-75 years with self-reported chronic nonmalignant low back pain or fibromyalgia, with an average pain intensity >4 over the past month and chronic pain duration >6 months. Enrolled participants were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 unblinded treatments: (1) VR: a 21-day, skills-based VR program for chronic pain; and (2) audio: an audio-only version of the 21-day VR program. The analytic data set included participants who completed at least 1 of 8 surveys administered during the intervention period: VR (n=39) and audio (n=35).

Results

The VR and audio groups launched a total of 1067 and 1048 sessions, respectively. The majority of VR participants (n=19/25, 76%) reported no nausea or motion sickness. High satisfaction ratings were reported for VR (n=24/29, 83%) and audio (n=26/33, 72%). For VR efficacy, symptom improvement over time was found for each pain variable (all P<.001), with results strengthening after 2 weeks. Importantly, significant time×group effects were found in favor of the VR group for average pain intensity (P=.04), pain-related inference with activity (P=.005), sleep (P<.001), mood (P<.001), and stress (P=.003). For pain catastrophizing and pain self-efficacy, we found a significant declining trend for both treatment groups.

Conclusions

High engagement and satisfaction combined with low levels of adverse effects support the feasibility and acceptability of at-home skills-based VR for chronic pain. A significant reduction in pain outcomes over the course of the 21-day treatment both within the VR group and compared with an audio-only version suggests that VR has the potential to provide enhanced treatment and greater improvement across a range of pain outcomes. These findings provide a foundation for future research on VR behavioral interventions for chronic pain.
Effectiveness of the InCharge Prevention Program to Promote Healthier Lifestyles: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Mesman Mathijs , Onrust Simone , Verkerk Renée , Hendriks Hanneke , Van den Putte Bas
Published: May 2020

Background

InCharge is a newly developed school-based health intervention aimed at older adolescents. It aims to promote a healthier lifestyle by increasing self-regulation skills. After the InCharge program’s effectiveness was previously investigated in a pilot study, the content of the program was adapted.

Objective

This study describes the protocol of a cluster randomized controlled trial that aims to investigate the effectiveness of the InCharge program.

Methods

A cluster randomized controlled trial including 70 classes with older adolescents (aged 16 years or older) in the Netherlands will be conducted to test the effectiveness of the InCharge program. After schools are recruited, randomization occurs at the class level. The trial consists of the following two conditions: an experimental condition and a control condition. Participants in the experimental condition will be given the InCharge intervention, consisting of four lessons of 50 minutes, with each lesson containing three assignments of approximately 15 minutes. While participants in the experimental condition will receive InCharge, participants in the control condition will receive regular academic school courses. Surveys are administered 1 week before the intervention (baseline), 1 week after the intervention (posttest), and 12 weeks after the intervention (follow-up). Variables of interest include, but are not limited to, self-regulation; predictors of snack intake, physical activity, and alcohol use; and interpersonal communication regarding these health behaviors. In addition to surveys, observations will be conducted during the first and fourth lessons, teachers will be interviewed, and focus groups will be held with a selection of students from the intervention condition.

Results

Enrollment started in September 2017. As of June 2019, a total of 1216 participants were enrolled for this trial. Findings will be published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at conferences. The trial has been approved by the Ethics Review Board of the Faculty of Social and Behavioral Sciences of the University of Amsterdam (reference no.: 2017-PC-8244).

Conclusions

In this study protocol, the design of a cluster randomized controlled trial is described, which assesses how effectively the school-based intervention InCharge stimulates healthier lifestyles in late adolescents. We hypothesize that participants in the experimental condition will consume less alcohol, eat fewer unhealthy snacks, and be more physically active compared with participants in the control condition.

GRAPHENE CONJUGATED USNIC ACID NANO-FORMULATION FOR THE TREATMENT OF TOPICAL FUNGAL INFECTION
Authors: DUBEY NIMESH KUMAR , MISHRA SHANTI BHUSHAN , MUKERJEE ALOK , SINGH AKANKSHA
Published: May 2020

Objective: The study aims to investigate the antifungal response of the dug usnic acid with the carrier graphene.

Methods: Nano-precipitation method by sonication was adopted to formulate the conjugate. SEM test was performed to check the shape and average size of the conjugate. FTIR test was performed for the chemical interaction between the drug and the carrier. Ointment was prepared by the fusion method and the viscosity test was performed by Brookfield viscometer. Spreadability test was performed by slide method. Animal activity was performed to confirm the antifungal effect of the formulated nano-conjugate. Statistical analysis was done by Anova.

Results: SEM study shows that the conjugate is in the nano range and possess a spherical shape. FTIR study shows no interaction between the drug and the carrier. The result of in vitro drug release study shows that the conjugate posses a higher drug release rate as compared to the drug alone. Topical drug administration is more suitable for the treatment of the fungal infection, so the nano-conjugate was incorporated into the ointment by geometric mixing. The viscosity and the spreadability test were performed on the different formulations of the ointment and the suitable one was selected for the topical administration. Anti-fungal study had been performed on the Wistar albino rats for 6 d. Skin culture of rats was performed for the formation of the fungal colonies. Statistical analysis by Anova gives p<0.001. It was found that the normal form of usnic acid, graphene and the nano form both possess anti-fungal activity as 3/6 and 2/6 experimental animals are cured by normal formulation and nano-formulation.

Conclusion: The present anti-fungal study revealed that the nano-form of the conjugate possess higher anti-fungal activity than the normal formulation of usnic acid with graphene.

Authors: SHANKPAL PRAMOD , SURVE SHWETA
Published: May 2020

Objective: The present study was undertaken to evaluate the acute and chronic anxiolytic effects of nifedipine in comparison to diazepam using in Swiss Albino mice using two behavioral models.

Methods: 30 Swiss albino mice were divided into 5 groups with 6 mice in each group. The study was conducted in two phases to evaluate acute and chronic effects. The groups consisted of diazepam (1 mg/kg), 3 doses of nifedipine (2.6 mg/kg, 5.2 mg/kg and 10.4 mg/kg) and vehicle control. The Elevated Plus Maze (EPM) and Light and Dark box were used to evaluate the anti-anxiety effects. The number of entries and time spent in the open arm of the elevated plus-maze and in the light area of light and dark box model were noted and compared among the 5 groups. Observations were analyzed using ANOVA and post hoc Tukey's test.

Results: Nifedipine (5.2 mg/kg and 10.4 mg/kg) significantly increased the number of entries and time spent in the open arm compared to vehicle control in the EPM test (p<0.001). Similarly, in the light and dark box test, nifedipine (5.2 mg/kg and 10.4 mg/kg) increased the number of entries and time spent in the light area compared to vehicle control (p<0.05). However, the low dose of nifedipine (2.6 mg/kg) did not exhibit significant findings.

Conclusion: Two doses of nifedipine (5.2 mg/kg and 10.4 mg/kg) possess anti-anxiety effects both on acute and chronic administration in both elevated plus maze and light and dark box model.
SECESIJA VERSUS NACIONALNI INTERES: JEDNOSTRANO PROGLAŠENJE NEZAVISNOSTI KOSOVA I METOHIJE
Authors: Tomic Milos
Published: May 2020

Fenomen secesije dugi niz godina postaje nezaobilazan faktor u analizi političkog i bezbednosnog stanja velikog broja nacionalnih država. Neujednačena primena pruzrokovana različitim tumačenjem međunarodnog prava, jedan je od načina opravdavanja legitimiteta separtističkih zahteva bez obzira na negativne bezbednosne posledice. Očigledan primer selektivne primene/kršenja najvažnijih normi međunarodnog prava (zabrana oružane agresije, očuvanje suvereniteta i teritorijalne celovitosti država) a time i nacionalnog interesa, jeste pokušaj secesije Kosova i Metohije. Tokom devedesetih godina jedan deo međunarodne zajednice otvoreno je podržao terorističku organizaciju pod nazivom „Oslobodilačka Vojska Kosova“ kao i njihove zahteve za dobijanje „nezavisne“ države Kosovo. Do kulminacije stanja dolazi 1999. godine kada je izvršena oružana agresija NATO pakta na Saveznu Republiku Jugoslaviju. Posledice ove vrste ponašanja pojedinih država (velikih sila) dovele su do presedana u međunarodnoj politici. Internacionalizaciji pitanja „nezavisnosti“ južne srpske pokrajine doprineli su nekadašnji visoki činovnici pojedninih država kao glavni zagovornici NATO agresije a danas najsnažniji promoteri „nezavisnosti“ Kosmeta. Cilj koji se ovim radom želi postići jeste ukazivanje na sve nedoslednosti u međunarodnoj politici u vremenskom periodu od početka devedesetih pa sve do jednostranog proglašenja „nezavisnosti“ Kosova i Metohije 2008. godine.

Authors: Lebed Evgeny V. , Vershinin Vladimir P.
Published: May 2020

Research aim. The aim of the present research was an analysis of a metal ribbed ring-shaped dome metallic ribs stress state at different stages of a skeleton overhang erection process. The considered dome is hemispherical and is assembled bottom-up of individual elements. Due to a varying slope of meridional ribs elements at different relative elevations their stress state changes during mounting. The effect of the overhang erection process onto the stress state of the metal dome meridional ribs has been investigated. The relationship between the stress state of a meridional rib and mounting of each next dome skeleton tier has been established. Methods. A mathematical model of the metal ribbed ring-shaped dome assembled of steel H-shaped elements with rigid connections has been developed. Several extra models corresponding to different skeleton erection stages have been also generated to determine stresses in the meridional ribs at these stages. Response of each dome mathematical model under dead-weight load has been simulated. The obtained values of stresses in the meridional ribs within different models have been compared with corresponding design stresses values. Results. The dependence of the metal dome meridional rib stress state onto the stages of overhang erection process has been plotted. A degree of utilization of ribs steel strength at different erection stages has been represented by diagrams. An estimation of the dome skeleton stress state during overhang erection has been given. Imminence of assembly stresses during overhang erection and their influence onto dome structural reliability has been pointed out.
“Biblioteka dlya Chteniya” - the first mass magazine in Russia
Authors: Shevtsov Nikita V.
Published: May 2020

The article is devoted to the so-called “Smirdin period” in the development of the journal “Biblioteka dlya Chteniya” (“Library for reading”) (XIX century). This is a unique periodical that attracted the attention of many readers: in the first year of the existence of the “Library for Reading,” its circulation reached a colossal figure for that time of five thousand copies, then it reached seven thousand. At the same time, there were many reproaches that the magazine had chosen a commercial direction, preferring to print superficial, mediocre literary works in the interests of generating income. Publishers of the “Library for Reading” were the first among their colleagues to understand that journalism cannot remain aloof from the formation of capitalist relations, and the work of a journalist, as well as a writer, must be well paid. They paid tribute to the role of material incentive in the creative process, which in many respects predetermined the success of the magazine, its longevity.
The image of Russia in the French print media: a new tone in the context of the 2018 FIFA World Cup
Authors: Ott Victor S. , Grabelnikov Aleksandr A.
Published: May 2020

This article looks at the issue of constructing the image of Russia in the French quality press (the newspapers Le Figaro, Le Monde, Le Parisien and the magazines Le Point, Le Nouvel Observateur, Paris Match). The content and discourse analysis of their publications has revealed the positive dynamics of the image associated with the level of organisation of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, the hospitality of Russians, the improved infrastructure and the festive atmosphere in Moscow. French journalists are abandoning the tactics of one-side reporting offering the reader a multifaceted view of what is happening in Russia. Their publications are less tendentious and subjective. Nevertheless, it is difficult to imagine that “one month of football” can radically change the negative image that had been formed over the years. That image is rather connected with more complex issues, such as politics, democratic values and the mindset.
Functional traits of the media space in Kazakhstan in the context of globalization
Authors: Kinfu Zenebe Tafesse , Fadeeva Alina A.
Published: May 2020

This article is devoted to the study of the functional features of the media space in Kazakhstan under the rapidly changing globalization trends and information confrontation of world powers. Since gaining independence, Kazakhstan is striving to create its own independent information space. The process of information space formation in the country has several traits, such as low competitiveness of national news agencies, slow development of the regulatory and legal framework in the field of information security, high politicization, including the language issue. These features occurred due to the heterogeneous language environment, the problems of the formation of national independent news agencies, the challenges of globalization, the most pressing of which is the growing influence of global media. In this article, authors touch upon the transition of Kazakhstan to the Latin alphabet, as well as the views of Western, Russian and Kazakhstan researchers on the current state of the media landscape of Kazakhstan. Authors justify the need to work out ways to minimize external information impact on the media landscape of Kazakhstan that is still undergoing media transformation processes.
Levels of Manifestation of Typological Similarity in Proverbs of Different Languages
Authors: Seliverstova Elena I.
Published: May 2020

The relevance of this article is due to the contradiction between the typical position of linguoculturologists, who use proverbs in their studies to illustrate the idea of the national specific mental representations of the world, reflected in the language, on the one hand, and the undeniable similarity in the verbal, logical and semantic structures of the proverbs that we observe when comparing the proverbial material of completely different languages - related and not related: English, German, Russian, Czech, Bulgarian, Chinese, Turkish, Armenian, etc. The object of analysis is composed of proverbs as units by means of which the speakers express their attitude to the world in a figurative form and manifest themselves as carriers of a certain culture. This rapprochement is carried out in several directions. We note the undoubted similarity (1) in the field of thematic areas, chosen to state the results of observation and conclusions, which generalize the experience gained and derive pragmatic meaning from it; (2) at the level of proverbial condensates (mental constructs, ideas) that briefly convey the contents of the proverb - such as “A wife and a husband are different”, “A child inherits the properties of parents”, “A little bad thing spoils a big good”, etc.; (3) at the level of generalized concepts - the signs of them are especially actively reflected in proverbs: the image of gold in its various interpretations is universal - as a standard of a high degree of any characteristic, as a way of solving many life difficulties, etc.; (4) at the level of components that verbalize concepts, become sustainable elements of proverbs, can be opposed or compared. Binomial pairs form the logical and semantic structure of proverbs (“friend” - “alien”, “smart” - “stupid”, “head” - “legs”), move from one unit to another and some of them can have different verbal implementations (“predator” - “victim”: wolf - lamb/sheep/cow ). This analysis allows us to talk about coincidences not only in assessing the importance of individual objects and phenomena, in thoughts about them and associations, in the spectrum of identifiable signs, in verbalization techniques used for matching generalized ideas, and - at last - about a certain reduction in the pathos of the statement about the national specificity of the proverbial space of the particular language.
Symbol of Mouse in Slavonic and Chinese Linguocultures
Authors: Koval Vladimir I.
Published: May 2020

The article describes in comparative aspect the main symbolic meanings of the zoononym mouse in Slavic and Chinese linguocultures. The study of animal symbolism in Russian (wider - Slavic) and Chinese cultural traditions is one of the current trends in modern linguistics, which, on the one hand, has a pronounced anthropocentric orientation, and on the other, is characterized by a noticeable increase in interest in the Chinese language and culture of China in different countries of the world. Turning to the study of complex and ambiguous symbolism of the mouse is quite timely and taking into account the confinement of 2020 to the year of the White Rat / Mouse. The purpose of the study is to identify similar and specific for each culture features of perception and characteristics of the mouse as an animal, which has a significant impact on everyday life. The tasks of the work include identifying the sources of the appearance of a negatively connotated mouse image in culture, determining the ambivalent nature of rituals, customs and ritual actions, the object of which are mice, as well as revealing the contents of the “Mouse Wedding” custom in Chinese and South Slavic traditions. The analysis of the actual material (stable phrases, folklore texts, ethnocultural records, traditional drawings) showed, on the one hand, the mostly negative symbolism of the mouse in the Slavic spiritual culture, and on the other, the perception of the mouse as an animal, bringing material wealth and prosperity, in the traditional picture of the world the Chinese. At the same time, it was established that both the Slavs and the Chinese use a number of magic tricks aimed at fighting mice that cause considerable damage to the peasant economy. Significant for the linguoculturological analysis of the mouse image is the appeal to oriental folklore texts, as well as to traditional popular prints of Chinese and Russians, reflecting differently the symbolism of mice and their relation to the main enemy - the cat.
Peculiarities of the Phraseological Content of Perm Old Believer Dialects
Authors: Podyukov Ivan A.
Published: May 2020

The article devoted to the underinvestigated problem of folk religious speech is addressed to the peculiarities of set expressions and word-combinations, their thematic stratification, figurativeness and symbolism recorded in the verbal communication of Old Believers of Perm Krai. Phraseological nominations of different forms of Old Believer ritual practice (names of prayer modes, kinds of religious texts, holidays, naming of attributes of religious ritualism, ritual clothes, etiquette formulae of food and behavioural prohibitions) are investigated. The aim of the description of the Old Believer phraseology is discovering its connection with categories and attributes of old Belief, its modern state characteristics. It has been stated that the significant part of Old Belief phraseology is imparted by the existential semantics and reflects dominating of the religious basis in everyday life typical of Old Believer culture. With the help of phraseological facts there have been noted specific features of sacral (wedding and funeral) tradition of Old Believer consents. The conclusion is drawn that the phraseological layer in question in content and ways of expression differs from the set component nominations of folk Orthodoxy. It has fixed phraseological units that discover the main faith dogmata (God, sin, salvation) and formulate ideological convictions of its followers. Phraseological units of Old Believer dialects can be considered to be the means of identification of a confessional group, as a source of knowledge about the clergy experience of tradition bearers and about the peculiarities of way of life of Old Believers. It has been stated that the functioning of phraseological units is characterized by the variety that is mainly determined by the oral being of this form of culture, by the presence of different Old Believer dissents in Perm Krai. The modern state of folk Old Believer phraseology is explained by the fact that many consents don’t have any worked out dogmatics and a rigid canonical form, it indicates gradual abolishing of tradition.
The Implementation of the Conception of Friendship on the Basis of Comparative Structural-semantic Analysis of English and Russian Proverbs
Authors: Orlova Tatiana G.
Published: May 2020

The article is devoted to the study of the conception of friendship based on the results of comparative structural-semantic analysis of English and Russian proverbs about friendship. The study includes two complementary steps. The first step consists in formulating the main aspects of the conception of friendship. The second consists in comparing fragments of this proverbial field, which made it possible to explore the implementation of eight aspects of the conception of friendship on the material studied. The clarification of similarities and differences made it possible to identify the specific national and cultural characters of thinking and mentality of the two non-related peoples towards understanding of friendship. The relevance of the study is determined by the novelty of the proposed approach to the study of the conception of friendship based on the comparative structural and semantic analysis of proverbs of two linguistic-cultural ethnic groups, as well as the insufficient knowledge of proverbs expressing the concept of “friendship” from the point of view of identifying their figurative and motivational basis, figurative means (metaphor, metonymy, comparison, personification, gradation, hyperbole, irony, allegory, antithesis), semantics of lexical components, syntactic structures (repetitions, parallelism, ellipsis, compression), expressive means, as well as rhythmic organization. There were selected and systematized similar and unique meanings of English and Russian proverbs as a result of research on the material of these languages. The analysis of these meanings allowed us to explore conception of friendship, thereby providing the basis for deeper rethinking both the conception and the proverbial material. As the part of the study there were observed differences in understanding of a person, personal relationships with others, mutual help, etc. These differences are largely due to the different origins of English and Russian proverbs. Most of the English proverbs are short sayings, which were formed under the influence of Latin expressions and quotations from Bible. Most of the Russian proverbs are peasant by origin and therefore they are closely connected with a specific and imaginative perception of the world. Their expressiveness is much higher at the expense of using the means of oral folk creativity. This analysis made it possible to reveal the role of linguistic means in expressing the mentality of the representatives of both peoples.
Film Naming: Book Titles and Film Titles
Authors: Krasina Elena A. , Rybinok Eugeniy S. , Moctar Alia
Published: May 2020

The studies of a film text as a polycoded textual phenomena involve the studies of its integral components, such as film story and screenplay, reflecting storyline or plot of a literary text that serves as a precedential text to filming and as an immediate constituent of a film itself. Film title combines the features of a book or story title and functions as a precedential phenomenon as well, but is an integral part of the process of film promotion and release, and in cinematographic sphere it’s of crucial importance. In fact, the original book or story titles used to change especially with time and audience involved, when filming remaking changes to TV series and miniseries, or films are followed by sequels and prequels so that not to make something like Jaws 3 or Indiana Jones 5 . Anyhow, most of film titles fully repeat or at least conserve the title of a literary text, still it’s often amplified to make difference or to emphasize the idea that the screenplay is a new one just the story to be continued, e.g., Jaws-3D: The Revenge. Not very often the changes are marked graphically as of Romeo + Juliet or Romeo & Julie t, so that to hint a new turnoff the plot to the audience. It’s obvious that film titles often use names of main characters either for series or episode titles or to form a film franchise like that of Jurassic Park or Indiana Jones ones. As people started to use different IT gadgets they used to read books less and less, and film stories tend to make a new book form when a book is no longer a precedent to a film. Thus the cycle of “book title → film title” was completed by a part of “film title → book title (or book itself” to reflect the reverse trend, which is known worldwide.
Trope as the Result of Semiotic Interpolation of Verbal and Non-verbal Units in Heterogeneous Text(Case Study of Film Text “Faust” by A. Sokurov)
Authors: Evgrafova Yulia A.
Published: May 2020

Homogeneous texts are being replaced by heterogeneous texts that are called audio-visual ones; texts and teletexts belong to the most formed of them. On the ground of cinema and television the texts with the unique structure that combines verbal and non-verbal sense carriers apoeared. The aim of this work is to describe peculiarities of meaning articulation in the dynamic scope of such screen texts. To reach the aim the task to show how the basic elements of the screen “language” materialize in verbal and non-verbal units of the screen “speech” of polycode-multimodal text and how it constructs the general meaning of audio-visual narration is set. Also contamination of levels of meaning is being studied in this work and how it influences the trope. The research is being held on the case of the film text “Faust” by A. Sokurov. The analysis is being done on the space-time continuum, i.e. with the consideration of the movement in the film text. Units of the screen “speech” are being extracted from the chosen segments and analysed as the main sources of the meaning of audio-visual message as a whole; also the peculiarities of the meaning articulation on the denotational and connotational levels in space-time scope of polycode-multimodal text are being described. Apart from that, the process of semiotic interpolation of verbal and non-verbal units that leads to the generating of the transitional meaning and of the trope on the grounds of displacement and adjacency of the meanings is being studied. The author comes to the conclusion that integrity of verbal and non-verbal units in the space-time scope of the polycode-multimodal text, that results in trope generation, also leads to the semiotic situation of simulacrativity, whose main goal is to make the spectator believe that what is happening on the screen is real. This article is aimed at students, post-graduates, professors, linguists and others interested in general and linguistic semiotics.

Introduction/Objective. Recently, new materials for double crowns have been introduced, such as zirconia and polyether ether ketone (PEEK). However, some characteristics of these materials, such as retentive force and duration of ?settling in phase,? have not been investigated sufficiently. During the ?settling in phase,? telescopic overdenture has not yet achieved its definitive retention force, and it can be harmful for periodontal tissue if the value is above optimal for a long period of time. The objective was to measure the in vitro overall pull-off force of telescopic crowns where primary crowns were made from zirconia ceramics and a survey of the ?settling in phase? duration. Methods. Forty zirconia primary telescopic crowns were produced on prepared canine teeth. Twenty secondary crowns were of PEEK and other 20 of zirconia with electroplated gold copings. The pull-off force measurements were conducted utilizing a dynamometer until a constant value was obtained. Results. The specimens of the PEEK group showed higher initial retentive force values. Settling in phase was finished between 800 and 900 cycles of separation for both groups. Comparing the value of the pull-off force between individual different cycles, a statistically significant reduction was recorded up to the 800th cycle, while between the 800th and the 900th cycle there was no difference. Conclusions. The settling in phase was finished between 800 and 900 cycles of separation in both groups. Final retentive force values for both tested telescopic groups were in the optimal range which is 5?9 N per one telescopic crown.
Paving the way for industrial ultrafast laser structuring of lithium-ion battery electrodes by increasing the scanning accuracy
Authors: Habedank Jan Bernd , Schwab Daniel , Kiesbauer Bernhard , Zaeh Michael F.
Published: May 2020

The performance of lithium-ion batteries is determined by the structural properties of the electrodes, e.g., the choice of an active material and porosity. An increase in performance is crucial for fulfilling the future requirements of various applications, such as electric vehicles and consumer electronics. Laser structuring with short and ultrashort pulses offers great potential, which has been demonstrated in many research studies. Based on already published preliminary work, which is primarily dedicated to the proof of electrochemical enhancements, requirements for the structuring process are examined. Starting from a realistic production scenario for lithium-ion electrode processing, calculations concerning the technical requirements for the laser scanner system are made. The results show high demands on usable control technology. For this reason, the development of a new type of control system is presented, which has significantly more temporal accuracy in signal transmission and thus provides the basis for fast and, at the same time, high-precision processing with pulsed laser systems.

El vuelo de Fitz Gerald en la prensa argentina
Authors: Ciccone Carlos Sebastian
Published: May 2020

El vuelo de Miguel Fitz Gerald a Malvinas en 1964 representó el primer acontecimiento en que la sociedad civil intervino en el reclamo argentino por la soberanía del Archipiélago. La primicia del vuelo no llegó de la mano de los grandes diarios, sino a través de un medio gráfico emergente como Crónica. Por tal motivo, en el presente artículo nos proponemos analizar el proceso de producción de la noticia del vuelo en Crónica a partir de los Criterios de noticiabilidad propuestos por Stella Martini. A fin de complejizar el análisis, estableceremos puntos de relación con Clarín, diario con mayor tirada de ese año.
Discurso, ideología y medios: El periodismo de libre mercado en Chile
Authors: Romero Lizama Pamela Soledad
Published: May 2020

Este artículo reflexiona en torno a cómo la ideología ha influido en los cambios que se han dado en los medios de comunicación en Chile, principalmente centrado en el duopolio de la prensa. En este sentido, se aborda la forma en que el discurso de los medios se convierte en una herramienta de transmisión ideológica. Para ello se presenta como ejemplo la manera en que la prensa chilena fue mutando a una industria controlada por el libre mercado y el avisaje publicitario, principalmente fomentada por la dictadura y los gobiernos posteriores.
Dazra Novak: lecturas de La Habana desde la blogosfera
Authors: Viera Katia
Published: May 2020

El presente trabajo realiza un análisis de los modos en que se construye y se funda la ciudad de La Habana, desde el blog Habanapordentro, de la joven escritora cubana Dazra Novak. Desde él se configura una ciudad y textualidad virtual y ambas comparten procesos de desterritorialización y reterritorialización del propio espacio urbano y de la escritura misma. Por ello, por un lado, este texto dialoga con enfoques críticos que piensan el formato blog en el entorno de las nuevas escrituras del siglo xxi, y por otro, dialoga con algunas nociones subjetivas de la ciudad.
Las memorias del deseo
Authors: Basilio Fabris Ailin
Published: May 2020

El artículo examina el consumo cultural del cine erótico en la década de los sesenta a fin de rastrear sentidos, representaciones y prácticas que permitan reconstruir los procesos de conformación de la identidad de género y la sexualidad en Argentina, en perspectiva histórica y de género. En función de relatos orales recopilados, la premisa que sostiene este trabajo consiste en proponer a las prácticas de consumo como terreno para la articulación y producción de sentidos y nociones sobre la subjetivación de la sexualidad en marcos históricos caracterizados por el autoritarismo político y la censura. A su vez, se aborda la dimensión generacional como un constructo social e histórico que signó, entre otras cosas, la configuración de la memoria, y al mismo tiempo que inquiere la dimensión generizada de tales dinámicas.
Circulación de teatro y diplomacia cultural en el Río de la Plata
Authors: Algán Raúl Santiago
Published: May 2020

La cultura, entendida como pilar para el desarrollo de los Estados, además de un motor de crecimiento es una forma de vincularse con otras naciones. En este sentido, el arte materializa la cultura a través de sus lenguajes. De ellos, el escénico es el que mejor populariza la identidad cultural de quienes habitan el Río de la Plata hacia el exterior. El objetivo principal de esta ponencia es analizar la circulación teatral entre la Ciudad de Buenos Aires y Montevideo. El objetivo secundario, mensurar esa circulación para poder cuantificarla.

Se propone abordar la problemática circunscribiendo el análisis a 2010-2017 puesto que es el período en que se produjo la profundización ideológica en ambos países de gobiernos de centroizquierda y parte del cambio de gobiernos. De este modo, se podrá observar, a través de la obtención de indicadores y el análisis de contenido de algunos tratados y acuerdos puntuales que se han suscripto entre los Estados así como la circulación teatral en términos cuantitativos.

De esta manera, al comprender la circulación de teatro y la diplomacia cultural como variables, se procura relevar si en la práctica se genera el ámbito propicio para poder concebir una diplomacia cultural conjunta entre ambas ciudades. Asimismo, se espera analizar la incidencia de la denominada diplomacia cultural en la circulación teatral entre ambas ciudades. Profesionalmente, se observan casos de estudio interesantes, como la Movida Teatral de las dos Orillas o el Corredor Latinoamericano de Teatro, como ejemplos de esta acción cultural. No obstante, queda por ver en qué medida las políticas culturales de los gobiernos locales incentivan este tipo de prácticas. Por lo tanto, se busca encontrar el vínculo entre praxis y relaciones interculturales a una pequeña escala (ciudad-ciudad) para analizarlas.
