Authors: Philip Jeena Annie , Veena R. , Thomas Christy Cathreen , Radhakrishnan Radhika C. , Kumar Ashok , Uthup Susan
Published: November 2024

Background:

Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the kidney, rarely reported in children, and often misdiagnosed as a neoplasm.

Clinical Description:

A 2-month-old preterm baby boy was hospitalized for bronchiolitis. Examination showed tachypnea, normal pulses, improper weight gain since birth, hypertension and was incidentally detected to have palpable right kidney, without any abnormality in urinary stream.

Management and Outcome:

Routine blood investigations and urinalysis were normal. Chest X-ray was consistent with bronchiolitis and the baby was managed accordingly along with nifedipine for hypertension. Ultrasound abdomen showed an enlarged right kidney with hypoechoic mass in the upper pole and magnetic resonance imaging further showed the mass having areas of necrosis infiltrating into surrounding tissues. Considering a possibility of neoplasm, nephrectomy was performed. However, histopathological evaluation showed evidence of XGP. The baby thrived well, postnephrectomy and remained asymptomatic.

Conclusion:

This case creates awareness regarding occurrence of XGP in such a young infant, where diagnosis was made incidentally, only during a thorough systemic examination, followed by radiological imaging and histopathology.

Authors: Kumar Mritunjay , Sukumar P. Sunny , Suman Arvind Kumar , Upadhyay Ashish , Garg Pragati
Published: November 2024

Background:

Cysticercosis, a common parasitic infestation in endemic regions, may rarely cause widespread dissemination throughout the body resulting in disseminated cysticercosis (DCC), scarcely reported in children.

Clinical Description:

An 8-year-old boy from rural India presented with a 2-week history of headache, abnormal movements, intermittent fever, vomiting, and altered sensorium. Clinical examination revealed generalized hypertonia and signs of raised intracranial pressure. Brain imaging displayed a “starry sky” pattern indicative of neurocysticercosis (NCC) encephalitis. Further imaging revealed cystic lesions throughout the thoracic, abdominal, and paraspinal muscles, confirming DCC.

Management and Outcome:

The patient was managed with intravenous methylprednisolone, antiepileptics, and acetazolamide, avoiding albendazole due to the risk of exacerbating cerebral edema. The patient regained consciousness after the fifth pulse of steroids and progressively improved thereafter being asymptomatic and seizure-free at the last follow-up, 3 months after discharge.

Conclusion:

This case creates awareness regarding a rare entity of NCC encephalitis seen in DCC. The condition may be considered in children presenting with encephalopathy in endemic regions. Supportive treatment with steroids without antiparasitic treatment may be successful.

Authors: Kumar Parveen , Manchanda Vivek , Kumar Chandrodaya
Published: November 2024

Background:

Double ani with colonic duplication is rarely seen in children. There are no standard management strategies.

Clinical Description:

A 6-year-old girl presented with fecal discharge from an abnormal site in the perineum in addition to defecation through the normal anal opening. Although present since birth, parents did not seek medical/surgical care till school age. Perineal examination revealed normal labia majora, minora, and clitoris, normally placed urethral opening, septate vagina, and vestibular fistula with a normal anus. Digital rectal examination could not appreciate any abnormal communication.

Management and Outcome:

Initially, a diversion stoma was planned. At surgery, a duplicated colon was identified, dye study confirming duplication of hindgut without any communication distally. During definitive surgery, the vestibular fistula (abnormal bowel opening in the vestibule) was mobilized and the common wall of duplicated rectum was divided the end of the vestibular colon was closed, and the perineal body was reconstructed. At the time of stoma reversal, after 3 months, proximal communication between duplicated colons found up to ileocecal region. Both proximal and distal limb common walls were divided with stapler, and bowel continuity was restored. The child remained well and continent till a follow-up of 2 years.

Conclusion:

Our case highlights the importance of a thorough perineal examination including all orifices at birth or during routine health checkup visits. A second anal orifice may remain unrecognized till later childhood, as defecation predominantly occurs through the true anus, the duplicate anal orifice being minimally functional or nonfunctional.

Published: November 2024

Introduction:

The aging population faces unique challenges, so incorporating their perspective is necessary for providing patient-centered care and enhancing the quality of life for older adults. However, this self-assessed well-being of the elderly population is not extensively documented, despite being a key approach in the health and welfare domain. The Perceived Wellness Survey (PWS), designed to assess well-being across multiple dimensions, could be suitable for determining wellness among the elderly. Therefore, this study seeks to evaluate the test–retest reliability of the PWS among the geriatric population.

Subjects and Methods:

An observational study was conducted which included 100 subjects in the age group of 60–74 years, at a government tertiary care hospital, in Mumbai, after procuring approval from the departmental review board. The participants completed the questionnaire at two different time points, separated by 1 week. The test–retest reliability was assessed using the Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient test, and the internal consistency was tested by Cronbach’s alpha.

Results:

One hundred subjects were recruited, of which 45% were female and 55% were male, with a mean age of 66.38 ± 3.96 years. The Pearson coefficients for test–retest reliability among observations varied between 0.870 and 0.946, indicating good reliability. Internal consistency ranges between 0.930 and 0.970, suggesting excellent reliability.

Conclusion:

The PWS is a reliable and internally consistent tool for assessing wellness perception among the geriatric population.

Published: November 2024

Squamous cell carcinoma of the head-and-neck (HNSCC) ranks sixth in global cancer incidence and poses significant challenges in terms of morbidity and mortality. The tumor microenvironment in HNSCC is a complex milieu involving immune cells, stromal elements, and cytokines, among other factors. Immunotherapy has emerged as a potent therapeutic avenue, particularly through immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), for modulating this intricate environment. ICIs have garnered approval for first-line use in recurrent and metastatic HNSCC. However, recent clinical observations underscore the variability in treatment response to immunotherapy. This necessitates a thorough exploration of diverse ICI agents and combination strategies to optimize therapeutic outcomes. A comprehensive assessment and focused investigation of the immune contexture in HNSCC patients undergoing ICI therapy are pivotal for advancing treatment efficacy. Numerous innovative immunotherapeutic modalities, including chimeric antigen receptor-T-cell therapy, oncolytic virus therapy, and vaccination strategies, are actively under development. Furthermore, identifying robust biomarkers to guide patient selection for immunotherapy is of paramount importance. The quest for optimal combination regimens incorporating novel immunotherapies represents a recent paradigm shift in the management of HNSCC. This review is a concise summary of the clinical progress and ongoing trials in immunotherapy for HNSCC, highlighting the dynamic landscape of treatment approaches in this challenging disease context.
Four Node Sampling: Is It an Effective Alternative to Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy in Low-resource Settings for Breast Cancer Management
Authors: Pothina Sreehari , Sharma Manisha , Takkar Puneet , Gadikota Parameswar Reddy
Published: November 2024

Background:

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among women globally, with regional lymph nodal involvement being a key determinant in staging. “Node positive” breast cancer patients have 40% higher mortality. Axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) is the standard of care in the surgical management of the axilla but is associated with significant morbidity, especially lymphedema. To decrease morbidity especially in node-negative patients, sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) has emerged as an alternative due to its low false-negative rates (FNRs), better sensitivity and specificity. However, in austere settings scenarios where the facility for SLNB is not available, four-node axillary sampling (FNAS) has been explored with variable outcomes. This study evaluates the feasibility of FNAS in the management of node-negative, postneoadjuvant, operable breast cancer patients at our institution.

Methods and Results:

This observational prospective study included 37 patients with clinically node-negative, operable breast cancer, following neoadjuvant chemotherapy. FNAS was performed using methylene blue dye to identify and dissect four axillary nodes and sent for a frozen section. Subsequently, ALND was done as per standard practice. The performance of FNAS as an alternative to SLNB showed a sensitivity of 81%, specificity of 100%, positive predictive value of 100%, and negative predictive value (NPV) of 69%. The FNR was 19.2% with an overall diagnostic accuracy of 86%.

Conclusion:

While ALND remains the standard for axillary staging in operable breast carcinoma, SLNB is validated as a useful method for axillary staging in node-negative patients. FNAS demonstrated high false-negative rates and limited diagnostic value in this study. Further research, including larger studies and randomized controlled trials comparing FNAS with SLNB is needed to establish its efficacy and potential role in the management of node-negative breast cancer.

Prevention and diagnosis of traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are reliant on
understanding the biomechanical response of the brain to external stimuli.
Finite element models (FEM) and artificial head surrogates are becoming a common
method of investigating the dynamic response of the brain to injurious impact
and inertial stimuli. The accuracy and validity of these models is reliant on
postmortem human subject (PMHS) research to produce biofidelic brain tissue
responses. Previous PMHS research has been performed to measure intracranial
pressures, displacements, and strains when subjected to impact and inertial
loading; however, there remains a need for additional PMHS datasets to improve
our understanding of the brain’s dynamics. The purpose of this study is to
measure the relative brain–skull displacement in a PMHS specimen when subjected
to blunt force impacts. A high-speed X-ray (HSXR) imaging system and embedded
radiopaque elastomeric markers were used to record PMHS impacts at varying
impact velocities for two specimens: specimen CO-108 was subjected to a series
of frontal impacts and specimen CO-109 was subjected to a series of rear
impacts. Brain–skull relative deformation in each specimen indicates that brain
deformation is dependent both on anatomical regions and of impact direction.

Published: November 2024

Athletes may sustain numerous head impacts during sport, leading to potential
neurological consequences. Wearable sensors enable real-world head impact data
collection, offering insight into sport-specific brain injury mechanisms. Most
instrumented mouthguard studies focus on a single sport, lacking a quantitative
comparison of head impact biomechanics across sports. Additionally, direct
comparison of prior studies can be challenging due to variabilities in
methodology and data processing. Therefore, we gathered head impact data across
multiple sports and processed all data using a uniform processing pipeline to
enable direct comparisons of impact biomechanics. Our aim was to compare peak
kinematics, impulse durations, and head impact directionality across ice hockey,
American football, rugby, and soccer. We found that American football had the
highest magnitude of head impact kinematics and observed directionality
differences in linear and angular kinematics between sports. On the other hand,
there were no significant differences in impulse durations, which was unexpected
given the different impacting objects and protective equipment across sports. In
future work, we aim to expand our dataset to better match sports for
understanding the influence of sex, equipment, and playstyle on head impact
biomechanics.
Repositioning Forward-Leaning Occupants with a Pre-Pretensioner Belt
in Static Conditions
Authors: Witmer Maitland , Griffith Madeline , Graci Valentina
Published: November 2024

Extreme out-of-position pre-crash postures may need high-force pre-pretensioner
(PPT) for effective repositioning (Mishra et al., 2023). To avoid applying a high force on the chest, we
hypothesized that in case of these extreme postures the PPT may be activated in
the absence of a pre-crash motion as a cautionary measure. Therefore, the aims
of this study were: (1) to understand the effect of the PPT in repositioning a
forward-leaning occupant in static conditions and (2) to characterize occupants’
kinematic variability during repositioning. Sixteen healthy volunteers (8 males,
8 females, 23.8 ± 4.2 years old) were seated with a 40° forward posture on a
vehicle seat and restrained with a 3-point seat belt equipped with a PPT. Two
PPT seatbelt conditions were examined: low PPT (100 N) and high PPT (300 N).
Head and trunk rearward displacements relative to the initial forward-leaning
position at 350 ms from PPT onset were collected with a 3D motion-capture system
and compared between sexes, repetitions, and PPT levels with repeated measure
3-way ANOVAs (p-level = 0.05). Head and trunk rearward displacements were
greater with the high PPT (head −93.8 ± 9.3 mm, trunk −78.7 ± 6.7 mm) than the
low PPT (head −44.6 ± 8.9 mm, trunk −39.7 ± 7.6 mm) (p < 0.001). There were
no statistically significant differences between sexes (p > 0.19), repetition
(p > 0.28), and no interaction effects (p > 0.18). There was greater
inter-subject variability in the low (head −109.5 to −22.1 mm, trunk −105.0 to
−17.5 mm) compared to high PPT (head −175.0 to −62.5 mm, trunk −128.4 to −54.8
mm). Although no sex differences were found, the high inter-subject variability
suggests that PPT timing and force level might not be designed as
one-size-fits-all. This study shows that triggering the PPT when the vehicle is
traveling at a constant speed could reduce the PPT force needed to reposition
forward-leaning occupants during pre-crash maneuvers.
Neck Injury Risk in Out-of-Position Rear Impact Scenarios Using a
Reference Geometry-Based Head Repositioning
Authors: Reis Matheus Seif , Cronin Duane
Published: November 2024

Rear-end vehicle collisions may lead to whiplash-associated disorders (WADs),
comprising a variety of neck and head pain responses. Specifically, increased
axial head rotation has been associated with the risk of injuries during rear
impacts, while specific tissues, including the capsular ligaments, have been
implicated in pain response. Given the limited experimental data for
out-of-position rear impact scenarios, computational human body models (HBMs)
can inform the potential for tissue-level injury. Previous studies have
considered external boundary conditions to reposition the head axially but were
limited in reproducing a biofidelic movement. The objectives of this study were
to implement a novel head repositioning method to achieve targeted axial
rotations and evaluate the tissue-level response for a rear impact condition.
The repositioning method used reference geometries to rotate the head to three
target positions, showing good correspondence to reported interverbal rotations.
Under a 7 g rear impact scenario, the head-turned models were compared with the
neutral position and demonstrated increases in the maximum capsular ligament
distractions. Increased head rotation was associated with increased ligament
distractions. The locations with critical ligament distractions shifted to the
lower cervical spine (below C3) and lateral portion of the capsular ligaments
for the head-turned position cases. The proposed repositioning method introduced
in this study enabled the model to achieve steady head rotations with realistic
cervical spine movements, increasing the biofidelity of out-of-position rear
impact simulations.

Published: November 2024

Ongoing research in simulated vehicle crash environments utilizes postmortem
human subjects (PMHS) as the closest approximation to live human response.
Lumbar spine injuries are common in vehicle crashes, necessitating accurate
assessment methods of lumbar loads. This study evaluates the effectiveness of
lumbar intervertebral disc (IVD) pressure sensors in detecting various loading
conditions on component PMHS lumbar spines, aiming to develop a reliable
insertion method and assess sensor performance under different loading
scenarios. The pressure sensor insertion method development involved selecting a
suitable sensor, using a customized needle-insertion technique, and precisely
placing sensors into the center of lumbar IVDs. Computed tomography (CT) scans
were utilized to determine insertion depth and location, ensuring minimal tissue
disruption during sensor insertion. Tests were conducted on PMHS lumbar spines
using a robotic test system for controlled loading in flexion, compression, and
a combination, while monitoring pressure changes. The compression force, flexion
angle, and sensor-recorded IVD fluid pressure were recorded during tests. CT
images were analyzed to assess sensor placement and its impact on sensing
ability. Pressure readings during various loading conditions were examined for
different specimens, with data reported from the beginning of tests through
relevant loading phases. The study successfully established a methodology for
inserting pressure sensors into the IVD and assessed their ability to detect
changes in flexion angle, compression, and combined loading. Sensors accurately
tracked compression force and detected changes in flexion angle, although with
some differences in response. Sensors placed optimally showed expected
responses, while those placed suboptimally exhibited variability, particularly
in detecting changes during flexion. This variability underscores the importance
of sensor placement for accurate detection of loading states. Overall, the study
provides a foundation for utilizing pressure sensors to monitor loading states
in sled tests, with future work focusing on refining differentiation between
loading types.
Correlation between Cell Thickness Profile and Lithium Plating:
Applications in Lithium Plating Detection and Capacity Rollover
Diagnostics
Authors: Zhang Jian , Zheng Yiting
Published: November 2024

In the realm of low-altitude flight power systems, such as electric vertical
take-off and landing (eVTOL), ensuring the safety and optimal performance of
batteries is of utmost importance. Lithium (Li) plating, a phenomenon that
affects battery performance and safety, has garnered significant attention in
recent years.

This study investigates the intricate relationship between Li plating and the
growth profile of cell thickness in Li-ion batteries. Previous research often
overlooked this critical aspect, but our investigation reveals compelling
insights. Notably, even during early stage of capacity fade (~ 5%), Li plating
persists, leading to a remarkable final cell thickness growth exceeding 20% at
an alarming 80% capacity fade.

These findings suggest the potential of utilizing cell thickness growth as a
novel criterion for qualifying and selecting cells, in addition to the
conventional measure of capacity degradation. Monitoring the growth profile of
cell thickness can enhance the safety and operational efficiency of lithium-ion
batteries in low-altitude flight systems. Furthermore, this study proposes an
innovative approach for onboard Li plating detection by considering signals
related to cell thickness data. This method reduces computational demands,
enhancing detection efficiency—a vital advancement for real-time monitoring in
low-altitude flight power systems. Moreover, our research establishes a strong
correlation between the occurrence of Li plating and the loss of active material
in the negative electrode, shedding light on the underlying mechanisms and
emphasizing the need to mitigate this phenomenon.

Overall, this study significantly contributes to the existing research focused on
improving the safety and efficiency of lithium-ion batteries in low-altitude
flight applications. By emphasizing robust detection techniques for Li plating,
we pave the way for safer and more efficient power sources in this rapidly
evolving field.

This study leverages the temperature impact data obtained from the battery
systems of airworthiness-certified fixed-wing electric aircraft to predict and
correct the performance of eVTOL battery systems under various temperature
conditions. Due to the lack of airworthiness-certified eVTOL models, it is
challenging to directly test battery system parameters under temperature
variations. However, using data from Ma Xin's team's production batteries tested
on certified fixed-wing electric aircraft, we can accurately measure the effects
of temperature changes. The capacity retention data at temperatures of -40°C,
-20°C, -10°C, 0°C, 0°C, 25°C, 35°C, 45°C, 55°Care 78.14%, 83.3%, 84.1%, 88.1%,
92.3%, 100.0%, 102.0%, 103.9%, 104.6%. These quantified results provide a basis
for modeling and experimental validation of eVTOL battery systems, ensuring
their performance and safety across a wide range of temperatures. Although there
are some research of battery system of eVtol in room temperature, the data and
research of impact of various temperature on battery systems of eVTOLin this

Authors: Nguyen Vuong Quoc , Tran Kiet Nhan , Nguyen Thin Si
Published: November 2024

Contemporary research endeavors have evinced a substantial interest in integrating heterogeneous data sources within unified recommendation system frameworks. Concomitantly, the conventional two-dimensional product-user rating matrix ubiquitous in matrix factorization problems is being augmented by incorporating ancillary dimensions such as sentiment, temporality, and spatial characteristics. Concurrently, the challenge of surmounting limitations in capturing Vietnamese sentiment characteristics for data enrichment has garnered scholarly attention. Stemming from these two salient issues, the authors propound a hybrid model that amalgamates the factor matrix principle from collaborative filtering methodologies with sentiment analysis for prognosticating user rating propensities. Through empirical evaluation on a corpus of mobile application reviews, the proposed model has demonstrated its suitability for research purposes and exhibited superior predictive accuracy compared to simpler paradigms.

Design as a Political Object: The Necessary Positioning of the Designer as an Agent of Change.
Authors: Sallés Diego Lluís
Published: November 2024

Faced with what we could consider an act of connivance with the prevailing neoliberal model of leisure and production, the designer has become an apolitical, naïve and blind subject, immersed in the unthinking action of unlimited production. Humanity must feed 8 billion people while at the same time guaranteeing both its survival and the sustainability of the planet. Given this challenge, design must resituate the subject at the centre of the model in all its fields and specialities. This repositioning must come from a politicised, eco-centric and left-wing perspective to become an engine of social change, clearly and openly confronting extreme neoliberalism and its constant growth curve, a model that has placed humanity in a process of programmed self-extinction due to the prioritisation of earnings and profit over our own existence.
The upcoming generations of design professionals will play a crucial role in the planet’s future. We are facing a challenge of capital proportions in which all actors in society and the market, among which design is one of the most relevant, will have to work together in unison. From within the interconnected international system that the academy represents, it falls on us to promote and encourage new attitudes that facilitate the repositioning of designers, removed but not alien to the perverse complexities of the extreme neoliberal market. For and because of this, we seek to enervate consciences and promote reflection in pursuit of the consequent revolt, which, if disregarded, will condemn us to failure as a society and as a species.

The Relevance of the Passing of Time in Criminal Law, with Special Reference to Due Process
Authors: Pápai-Tarr Ágnes
Published: November 2024

The requirement for the conclusion of criminal proceedings within a reasonable time appears as a component of the right to a fair trial in international human rights documents as well as among the national fundamental rights. The passage of time and the prolongation of criminal proceedings are considered by courts as mitigating factors during sentencing. However, taking these factors into account as mitigating circumstances is not unproblematic, as there is no objective point in time after which one can definitively state that the criminal authorities violated the requirement for adjudication within a reasonable time. In my study, I am investigating the criteria by which the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) examines compliance with the  requirement of reasonable time and how the prolongation of proceedings is treated as a mitigating factor in Hungarian judicial practice.
Implementation of Hydrogen as a Green Fuel in Internal Combustion Engines: A Brief Review
Authors: Sinaga Nazaruddin , Pratama M. Yoga
Published: November 2024

Hydrogen has long been recognized as a revolutionary component in the transition to a post-carbon era. However, there is significant debate regarding the exact nature of this future, with some expressing concerns about insufficient demand, while others overlook the limitations of hydrogen. The recent crisis in fossil fuel supply has been driven by the massive and steadily increasing consumption of non-renewable energy due to human daily activities. The development of alternative energy sources to complement or reduce the reliance on conventional non-renewable energy is further motivated by growing concerns over emissions from internal combustion engines. In this context, hydrogen has emerged as a promising solution for use in internal combustion engines to address these challenges. The primary contribution of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of hydrogen utilization as a fuel in internal combustion engines, specifically examining its application in both spark-ignition (SI) and compression-ignition (CI) engines. The majority of studies indicate that hydrogenenriched fuels significantly enhance engine performance, particularly in terms of thermal efficiency, fuel consumption, and energy utilization.

Authors: Sampietro Darío Alberto , Gutiérrez Daniel Gustavo
Published: November 2024

Patricio Rey y sus redonditos de ricota fue, durante décadas, una de las bandas contraculturales más convocantes de Argentina. En base a las letras debidas al genio creador de Carlos “Indio” Solari así como a las melodías y riffs nacidos de la inspiración de Eduardo “Skay” Beilinson, la agrupación fue forjando toda una mitología tan críptica como significante. En muchas de sus canciones se ponen en juego tópicos del género literario épico con el fin de construir relatos y situaciones existenciales que se convierten en verdaderos dispositivos de deseo y acción. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo no sólo analizar cuáles son los tópicos del género épico presentes en las canciones de Patricio Rey y sus redonditos de ricota, sino también describir cómo esa elaboración contribuyó a generar un imaginario social vinculado indefectiblemente a un discurso que se instituyó cual dispositivo contrahegemónico en la sociedad argentina.
"COPIOSO FESTÍN": LA VIOLENCIA LEGITIMADA Y PROHIBIDA EN BEOWULF
Authors: Rial Jazmin
Published: November 2024

En Beowulf, composición anónima de los pueblos germánicos datada aproximadamente en el siglo VIII d.C., la representación discursiva de la violencia colabora en la construcción de la identidad colectiva (NIDO HERNÁNDEZ, 2012). En este sentido, Walter Ong afirma que el pensamiento y la expresión de las culturas orales primarias, es decir, aquellas desconocedoras de la escritura, poseen matices agonísticos: expresan una situación de combate vital directo y de carácter público al exponer una violencia sobre el cuerpo que supera “el detalle exquisitamente sangriento, que puede ser menos repulsivo cuando es descrito verbalmente que al presentarse en forma visual” (1993, 38). En el presente trabajo abordaremos las expresiones poéticas en torno de la violencia a la luz de diferentes motivos relacionados con el placer, el honor y la venganza, fundamentos que corresponden a las motivaciones de los personajes principales de la primera parte de la obra: Grendel, Beowulf y la madre de Grendel, respectivamente. Por último, se debe destacar la conjunción entre las descripciones con base histórica y los componentes fantásticos (BORGES, 1966), por lo que nuestra exposición se centrará en analizar cómo la brutalidad y lo sobrenatural aparecen unidos como un binomio irrevocable, cuyo cruce fortalece la atrocidad de las conductas de los personajes.
Апофатическое понятие Божественной красоты у свт. Василия Великого и в последующей греческой патристике
Authors: А.В. Овчаренко
Published: November 2024

С недавних пор в русскоязычном пространстве стала набирать популярность богословская эстетика. Одним из важных понятий, используемых и развиваемых в рамках данного направления, является понятие красоты Бога. Его важность объясняется тем, что оно пересекается с областью догматического и мистического богословия. В работах основателя богословской эстетики Г. У. фон Бальтазара под красотой Бога понимается эстетически воспринимаемая форма Христа, которая открывается человеку в трансцендентном свете или славе Святого Духа. Сам Г. У. фон Бальтазар, однако, упоминает об апофатическом восхождении человека к присущей Самому Богу красоте как об этапе, который следует за созерцанием красоты, являемой в форме Христа. Последующая богословская эстетика оставляет без внимания апофатическое понятие о красоте Бога и воспринимает в качестве основного катафатическое понятие о красоте как об имманентной форме, в которой является трансцендентный Бог. Рассмотрение показало, что у ряда греческих отцов Церкви под красотой Бога подразумевается апофатическое понятие, не сопряженное с эстетическим созерцанием формы. Это понятие зарождается в ранних работах свт. Василия Великого. Далее оно используется как дополнительное средство для выражения учения о Божественном свете в Макарьевском корпусе, в сочинениях прп. Симеона Нового Богослова и свт. Григория Паламы. Анализ позволяет постулировать разницу в понимании Божественной красоты в современной богословской эстетике и у греческих отцов Церкви.

Since recently, theological aesthetics has started gaining popularity in the Russianspeaking society. One of the important notions used and developed in the field discussed is that of Divine beauty. Its importance stems from the fact that it intersects with the field of dogmatic and mystical theology. In the works of H. U. von Balthasar, the Divine beauty is understood as the aesthetically perceived form of Christ, which is revealed to man in the transcendental light or glory of the Holy Spirit. However, H. U. von Balthasar himself mentions the apophatic ascent of man to the inherent beauty of God Himself as the stage that follows the contemplation of the beauty revealed in the form of Christ. Subsequent theological aesthetics leaves the apophatic concept of the beauty of God out of consideration, and considers the cataphatic notion of beauty as of an immanent form of appearance of the transcendental God to be the main one. The research has shown that a number of Greek Church Fathers understood the beauty of God, implying an apophatic notion not related with aesthetic contemplation of the form. This concept originates in the early works of St. Basil of Caesarea. Further, it is used as an additional means to express the Divine light doctrine in Corpus Маcarianum, in writings of St. Simeon the New Theologian and St. Gregory Palamas. The analysis makes it possible to posit a difference in the understanding of the Divine beauty by modern theological aesthetics and Greek Church Fathers.
