Published: October 2024

Sepsis is a severe reaction of the body to an infection, presenting a critical medical crisis. It represents an imbalance between the body’s anti- and pro-inflammatory reactions. The occurrence of sepsis, which leads to multiple-organ failure and increased mortality, is marked by dysfunction in the lungs, heart, kidneys, and liver. The involvement of reactive oxygen species is believed to contribute to the progression of sepsis. Data suggest potential advantages of phenolic compounds derived from plants in combating sepsis. Plant polyphenols can be antioxidants by scavenging free radicals, chelating metals, and binding to proteins. In this research, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were produced by the aqueous extract of Cichorium intybus leaf for the purpose of treating sepsis-induced DNA harm. The recent study focused on the biological aspect including the cytotoxicity properties on normal (HUVEC) cell line. The AgNPs were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, and UV-Vis. The TEM and SEM images of AgNPs exhibited the average size of 35.29 nm with spherical morphology. In the in vivo study, the animals were categorized into four groups: sepsis-induced, sham, AgNPs-20, and AgNPs-100. AgNPs treatment resulted in a significant decrease in tissues damage (p < 0.01). The sepsis-induced group showed a significantly elevated malondialdehyde (MDA) level in comparison to the sham group (p < 0.01). Nevertheless, the groups that received AgNPs experienced a decrease in MDA levels and an increase in glutathione and superoxide dismutases levels (p < 0.01). Additionally, the rats treated with AgNPs exhibited a reduction in the IL-1β mRNA expression levels (p < 0.01).
A városi önvezetőjármű-felkészültség kulcstényezőinek meghatározása strukturált szöveg- és tartalomelemzéssel = Investigating Autonomous Vehicle Readness of Cities: A Structured Text and Content Analysis
Authors:   University of Szeged, Faculty of Economics and Business Administration, Lukovics Miklós
Published: October 2024

The process of urban integration of autonomous vehicles is posing increasing challenges for many cities today. Based on the growing number of autonomous vehicle tests on urban roads, it seems that the urban presence of these vehicles requires only minimal preparation from cities. However, their widespread adoption, integration, and effective and safe operation at the urban level require substantial preparation. This study aims to synthesize the factors found in the literature using software-supported structured text and content analysis. Based on our results, we identified nine main factors and twenty-seven key elements that could be crucial in supporting the future mass adoption of autonomous vehicles in urban areas. With our work, we hope to contribute to a deeper understanding of urban autonomous vehicle readiness and the identification of measures necessary to achieve it.
A geoinformatikai módszerek kiaknázatlan lehetőségei a földrajzi kutatásokban a Modern Geográfia c. folyóirat példáján = Underutilized Potentials of GIS in Geographical Research: A Case Study of the Journal ‘Modern Geográfia’

Modern Geográfia, 19(4), 111–127. https://doi.org/10.15170/MG.2024.19.04.06 The study aims to analyze articles published in the scholarly journal ‘Modern Geográfia’, founded in Hungary but internationally indexed, with a focus on GIS usage. Authors used the journal’s website as a secondary source for content analysis. Primary data evaluation involved a summary table outlining relevant features of GIS-related articles. Through a questionnaire survey with previous authors, the study aimed to uncover reasons for limited GIS tool and service utilization. Additionally, a semi-structured interview was conducted with the staff of the Department of Cartography and Geoinformatics (University of Pécs), gathering examples of untapped opportunities based on decades of teaching experience. It is observed that the diffusion of geoinformatics as an innovation appears to lose momentum among geographers. The continually expanding services are often unfamiliar to users, and in many cases, refreshing or supplementing existing knowledge could lead to significant progress.
A magyarországi kisüzemi sörgyártás és -fogyasztás területi vizsgálata = Spatial Analysis of Small-scale Beer Production and Consumption in Hungary

The Hungarian beer production transformed significantly after the change of regime. According to the international trends, production has changed and new types of beer have emerged, which have influenced the attitudes of Hungarian consumers towards beer. However, the number of geographic studies on beer production and consumption in Hungary is not sufficient to provide a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon, so the aim of our study is to describe the sector through the operations of six selected small-scale breweries and large-scale breweries, comparing the two types of production. An important element is to explore the difficulties caused by the Covid-19 epidemic, its impact on the beer industry and the consumption habits of consumers.
Final Fantasy VII Remake
Authors: Worrall Kyle
Published: October 2024

Video games are a constantly evolving medium, and, consequently, the expectations of players are ever increasing. Players are continuously exposed to games with increased graphical and audio fidelity, making them more familiar with technology. This in turn allows players to develop more critical opinions of video games, and, subsequently, game music. One such criticism is that over repetition of audio leads to annoyance and reduced immersion for players. This phenomenon originates in psychology research, where Daniel Berlyne defines listener fatigue as the relationship between diminishing appreciation and enjoyment of audio stimuli as exposure increases. While the repetition of musical assets in older games may lead to listener fatigue, I propose that this problem has become more apparent in recent years due to the evolving expectations of players. As a result, contemporary games combat this issue by using more dynamic approaches to music design to reduce repetition, increase in-game musical responsiveness to events, and provide a musical experience closer to what the player expects. Players’ increased expectations become more evident in the advent of an increasing number of remakes of older games, especially where the new musical experience is vastly different from the original. In this paper, I propose that differences in music design between two versions of the same game (i.e., an original and a remake) across multiple console generations can offer a unique perspective for viewing phenomena such as listener fatigue. In this article, I compare the music design of Final Fantasy VII (Square, 1997) and Final Fantasy VII Remake (Square Enix, 2020) to (1) explore how players’ expectations have evolved between titles, (2) outline how game developers historically have understood and managed musical repetition, and (3) offer insights for composers on how to better adapt older, existing soundtracks for modern expectations.
Dynamic Music at the Macro and Micro Levels
Authors: Penner Nina
Published: October 2024

The unpredictability of player behavior in open-world games presents notable challenges, particularly for developers with storytelling ambitions. Most composers have met these challenges by writing music for each distinct location in the game. The issue with a location-focused approach is that most open-world games have stories and characters who develop and change. These changes are communicated through characters’ choices or new abilities they acquire. Aesthetics, especially musical aesthetics, is a neglected storytelling tool. Most discussions of dynamic music have focused on the micro level: how the music may respond to the moment-to-moment actions a player takes within a single play session. There has been less concern with the macro level: how the music may respond to the player’s progress in the game, usually over several play sessions. Through a comparison of The Pathless (Giant Squid, 2020, music by Austin Wintory) and Tchia (Awaceb, 2023, music by John Robert Matz), I argue that different approaches to music composition and implementation may be needed depending on which level is the focus. Although both Wintory and Matz were attentive to musical development on the macro level, I argue that Tchia is more successful at this timescale whereas The Pathless performs better on the micro level. My experiences playing these games suggest that feeling that the score is responding to one’s macro-level progress depends on players noticing that the music has changed and linking that change to something they have done or something that has happened in the story. I argue that Matz’s tuneful themes that respond to a select few in-game parameters serve the macro level better than current tendencies toward ambient music and more and more complex implementation schemes.
LA BÓVEDA «GÓTICA U OJIVAL» EN LA ARQUITECTURA MILITAR DEL SIGLO XVIII. EL CASO DE LOS ALMACENES DE PÓLVORA, DESDE GIBRALFARO HASTA SAN FERNANDO DE FIGUERAS
Authors: Bravo Nieto Antonio , Ramírez González Sergio , Lluis i Ginovart Josep , Lluis Teruel Cinta
Published: October 2024

Queda bien acreditado el elevado nivel de conocimientos constructivos que reunían los ingenieros militares en la España de los siglos XVIII y XIX, y que forma parte importante de lo que pudiéramos denominar mecánica de la Ilustración. Uno de los capítulos menos conocidos de esta labor edilicia fue la utilización de la bóveda apuntada en la construcción de almacenes de pólvora, llamada en esos momentos «bóveda gótica u ojival». Este estudio pretende resaltar el impulso innovador de tales ingenieros, al revelar su esfuerzo por encontrar nuevas formas y tipologías que permitieran perfeccionar el mencionado modelo arquitectónico. Diferentes ejemplos en el ámbito territorial de la Monarquía Hispánica demuestran que, frente al prototipo de Vauban considerado durante mucho tiempo como canónico, hubo ingenieros que desarrollaron propuestas diferentes y que evolucionan desde los almacenes construidos en Gibralfaro, San Fernando y Ceuta, hasta los que se levantan en la fortaleza de San Fernando de Figueras. Este último demuestra ser no solo la propuesta más elaborada de almacén con bóveda apuntada del siglo XVIII, sino también la que adelanta en su estructura elementos que se adoptarán de forma definitiva en la siguiente centuria, siendo, por tanto, un antecedente de gran relevancia en este sentido.
The Neurological Impact of Continuous Nicotine Exposure in Adolescents
Authors: Hall Joel S. , Murphy Wayne
Published: October 2024

Continuous nicotine exposure during adolescence can have profound implications on the development and well-being of individuals in this critical stage of life. As the prevalence of nicotine use among adolescents continues to be a significant public health concern, understanding the impact of this addictive substance on young minds and bodies is crucial. We explored the various dimensions of nicotine exposure in adolescents, from its effects on brain development and cognitive function to the social, emotional, and educational consequences. By looking into the complexities of adolescent nicotine addiction, we can better comprehend the challenges faced by this vulnerable population and develop potential strategies for prevention and intervention.

Bibliografía básica de arquitectura en Madrid: siglos XIX y XX
Authors: Urrutia Núñez Ángel
Published: October 2024

Con motivo de la celebración de Madrid Capital Europea de la Cultura 1992, la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid y el Centro de Documentación para la Historia de Madrid organizaron el I Curso de Especialización en Historia Urbana (febrero-abril, 1991-1992). En el mismo se integraba el Monográfico bianual Madrid en su arquitectura (I: Siglo XIX y II: Siglo XX), que he venido impartiendo hasta la fecha. He creído interesante publicar la Bibliografía que elaboré para estos cursos, puesto que es mi deseo -y el de este Departamento de Historia y Teoría del Arte- beneficiar a todos los alumnos y futuros investigadores que quieran centrar sus estudios en la arquitectura madrileña contemporánea. Tal como decía en la presentación de mi anterior "Bibliografía básica de arquitectura moderna española" (en este mismo "Anu. Dep. Hist. Teor. Arte". Vol. I, 1989), referida entonces al siglo XX, también los estudios acerca del siglo XIX han sido realizados generalmente por los mismos arquitectos (Teodoro de Anasagasti, Luis Mª Cabello Lapiedra, Fernando Chueca Goitia, Modesto López Otero, Enrique Mª Repullés...), hasta unirse a esta labor historiadores del arte que, desde el ámbito de la Universidad española, contribuyen al estudio y conocimiento de una época no siempre bien valorada (Julio Arrechea, Clementina Díez de Baldeón, Carmen Jiménez, Javier Hernando, Angel Isac, Carlos Saguar, Carlos Sambricio y, sobre todo, Pedro Navascués, con una trayectoria profesional importante desde su obra pionera, ya clásica, "Arquitectura y arquitectos madrileños del siglo XIX", 1973).
Imágenes de Atenas en el mundo Ibérico: análisis iconográfico de la cerámica ática del siglo IV a. C. hallada en Andalucía Oriental
Authors: Sánchez Fernández Carmen
Published: October 2024

Durante el siglo IV a.C. llegan a la Península Ibérica vasos griegos en grandes cantidades. En Andalucía la mayoría de estos vasos áticos son crateras de campana de figuras rojas, utilizadas en el mundo griego como contenedores donde se mezclaba el vino con el agua para el banquete. El estudio iconográfico de las imágenes importadas -amazonomaquias, escenas de banquete, escenas dionisíacas- permite una aproximación a la reinterpretación ibérica de estos vasos griegos, que en el contexto indígena tienen una lectura funeraria.
El sentido de la historicidad en música: España "versus" Europa
Authors: Lolo Herranz Begoña
Published: October 2024

Los condicionantes intrínsecos del arte musical determinaron su conservación y transmisión, e impidieron, tal y como se analiza a continuación, la formación de su propia conciencia histórica. La tardía aparición del sentido de la historicidad, en comparación con las restantes artes, determinó el posterior desarrollo de esta ciencia que en la práctica no adquirirá entidad hasta el último tercio del siglo XVIII. Por su parte, el desarrollo de la historiografía en España no se produciría hasta principios del siglo XIX, gracias a la obra del teórico José de Teixidor y Barceló que publicaría en 1804 su "Discurso Universal sobre la Música", dejando en estado manuscrito la obra "Historia de la Música Española", fuente de la que se servirían la mayor parte de los historiadores más relevantes del siglo XIX. La localización de una nueva copia de este manuscrito, considerablemente más extensa y elaborada que las hasta ahora conocidas, plantea una revisión general sobre el fenómeno historiográfico en España.

Authors: Rangel-Rodríguez Gabriela-Alejandra , Treviño-Villarreal Diana-Carolina , Badia Mar
Published: October 2024

Indudablemente, resulta prioritario trabajar en favor del logro educativo del estudiantado que cursa el bachillerato. Por tanto, es importante conocer los factores psicosociales con los que está relacionado. El objetivo de la presente investigación fue establecer la relación que existe entre la cooperación, la pertenencia escolar, el acoso escolar, el malestar emocional y la adaptabilidad con el logro educativo en este grupo de población. Para ello se utilizó la base de datos pública del Programa para la Evaluación Internacional de Alumnos (PISA). Participaron un total de 7.299 estudiantes de México, con edades entre los 15,33 y 16,33 años. Se elaboró un modelo teórico comprobado empíricamente a través del modelaje de ecuaciones estructurales en el que se muestra la relación existente entre cada uno de los factores analizados con el logro educativo. La participación docente y de la familia, bajo la pauta de los factores en mención, son pieza clave en el ámbito académico del país mexicano.
Las funciones ejecutivas y la salud mental en el contexto educativo
Authors: Frutos-de-Miguel Jonatan
Published: October 2024

Los problemas de salud mental están suponiendo una dificultad en el desarrollo escolar por su influencia en las Funciones Ejecutivas (FE). El objetivo fue analizar, en el contexto educativo, el efecto que la ansiedad y la depresión ocasiona en las FE. La muestra estuvo formada por 689 jóvenes de entre 10 y 14 años (M= 11,89; DT= 1,38). Se utilizaron tres instrumentos de autoinforme para un Análisis de Clases Latentes (ACL), cuyos resultados mostraron que el modelo de tres clases era el mejor. En conclusión, intervenciones educativas que incluyesen la mitigación de las manifestaciones de ansiedad y/o depresión evitarían problemas en las FE.
Las homilías de Benedicto XVI
Authors: Izquierdo César
Published: October 2024

La actividad homilética de Joseph Ratzinger/ Benedicto XVI constituye un rico cuerpo documental que complementa la actividad propiamente teológica del que fue profesor y más tarde Romano Pontífice. El artículo expone cómo concibe Ratzinger/Benedicto XVI la homilía. Algunos rasgos de las homilías de Ratzinger/Benedicto XVI son: 1) el recurso a preguntas que se plantea el predicador, representando en muchos casos a la comunidad a la que se dirige; 2) el uso del contraste, e incluso de la paradoja; 3) las expresiones de diálogo yo-tú o yo-vosotros que implican a Dios y al oyente. Se comentan las siete homilías crismales del pontificado de Benedicto XVI, y especialmente algunos signos vinculados con el sacerdocio: la imposición y la unción de las manos y las vestiduras sacerdotales.

O espaço do radiojornalismo local no interior de Santa Catarina e as alterações causadas pela convergência tecnológica
Authors: Moro Luiza Zanotti   , Gonçalves de Carvalho Guilherme
Published: October 2024

O radiojornalismo local se destaca pelo compartilhamento das informações locais, acompanhamento do cotidiano e veiculação das notícias da região em que está inserido. O presente artigo teve como objetivo identificar o espaço do jornalismo nas rádios locais no interior de Santa Catarina, bem como expor alterações ocorridas com a convergência tecnológica no meio. Para isso, utilizou-se da pesquisa exploratória e descritiva para a realização da análise dos conteúdos radiofônicos e das alterações ocorridas com a convergência tecnológica em relação as produções e transmissões do jornalismo local. Concluiu-se que as rádios progrediram no aspecto tecnológico, com a implementação de recursos multimídia e a incorporação de um sistema comunicacional em rede, porém foi percebido que os conteúdos jornalísticos são produzidos de forma superficial, onde notou-se dificuldades em atender diferentes municípios e públicos que não são obrigatoriamente locais.
Fattorello, participation, web communication model and public
Authors: Quiroga Sergio Ricardo

O referido ensaio teórico se debruça sobre conceber a episteme que sustenta a existência e as transformações da cultura do cancelamento nas sociedades contemporâneas e, para tanto, recorre aos estudos do filósofo Michel Foucault, especificamente no que tange sua Arqueologia do Saber, cuja finalidade se desenha para desvelar que regularidades e regras permitem ao surgimento e existência de tal fenômeno. Destarte, este trabalho se guia no intento de delinear como é possível compreender a cultura do cancelamento a partir da episteme foucaultiana, cuja conclusão sinaliza tanto essa possibilidade como para outros aspectos revelados a partir desta visão da episteme sobre a existência, manutenção e transformação da cultura do cancelamento.
Constructing inclusion and exclusion in and through leaders’ communication discourses and practices
Authors: Hamrin Solange Barros de Alcantara
Published: October 2024

This study explores the discourses and communication practices of five leaders working in elderly care units in a mid-size city in Sweden and the construct of inclusion and exclusion by examining their daily communicative leadership practices with their work groups, consisting of Swedish-born and foreigner-born migrants. The results were drawn from an analysis of interviews with five leaders and the observation of eight meetings led by three of them. The findings indicate that leaders’ different strategies of inclusion are related to the engagement and participation of workers in discussions and decision-making. Some salient practices and discourses are pertinent to leaders’ cultural biases that can lead to ethnocentrism and essentialism, which might have a negative impact on inclusion. Leaders who practice inclusiveness through connecting, relating, and giving space for engagement and participation might better contribute to workplaces. The aspects and strategies of inclusion and exclusion are embedded in leaders’ practices and discourses and present them as bridge builders, empathetic and supportive, and culture enhancers. This study presents leaders' communication styles to include and exclude migrant workers and their strategies for engagement and participation in workplace issues. The leaders' communication styles emerged from the data and were defined as bridge builders, empathetic and supportive, and culture enhancers.

Dentre os inúmeros desafios lançados na/pela contemporaneidade, um é particularmente colocado em tela: por meio da linguagem, da educação e da formação docente: o indivíduo constrói um conhecimento de causa, uma autonomia candente e uma liberdade vigorosa, que favorecem a tomada de decisões sobre a integração de si e do outro. Nesse ecossistema instigante, a complexidade emerge como um suporte ontológico, epistemológico e metodológico que sinaliza caminhos para uma concepção transdisciplinar capaz de possibilitar a construção e a articulação de conhecimentos que, assim mobilizados, potencialmente promovem maior compreensão entre os seres humanos, uma visão mais fraterna do que seria bem-viver e melhor compreensão para a continuidade da vida no planeta.
Ulmowie - świadkowie cywilizacji życia
Authors: Seweryniak Henryk
Published: October 2024

Beatyfikacja Józefa i Wikorii Ulmów wraz siedmiorgiem ich dzieci – męczenników spotkała się w Polsce z aprobatą i wdzięcznością, ale też z reakcjami negatywnymi. Niekiedy widziano w tym akcie chęć gloryfikacji („beatyfikację”) narodu polskiego lub jego samooczyszczenia („katharsis”) z win przeszłości; przypominano, że Ulmowie pozostawali w konflikcie z tradycjonalistycznym Kościołem, a inspirację do udzielenia schronienia Żydom czerpali raczej z członkostwa w radykalnym ruchu młodzieży wiejskiej „Wici”. W artykule stawia się tezę, że w męczennikach z Markowej należy na pierwszym miejscu widzieć świadków cywilizacji życia, o ile pod tym słowem rozumiemy szacunek dla świętości życia, czynienie naszego istnienia bardziej ludzkim i podporządkowanie go ewangelicznemu prymatowi miłości. Autor, opisując najważniejsze wymiary życia rodziny Ulmów, potwierdza, że istotnie bł. Wiktoria i bł. Józef należeli do „Wici”, uczestniczyli w szkoleniach tej organizacji; że Józef odgrywał znaczącą rolę w jej lokalnych strukturach, a oboje z Wiktorią włączali się w „wiciowy” teatr amatorski, ale źródeł ich „postawy samarytańskiej” należy dopatrywać się w Ewangelii. Kończy refleksją nad jeszcze jednym, chyba zbyt zapoznanym, wymiarem cywilizacji życia - krzewieniem nadziei na sąd ostateczny.
Przeciwdziałanie marginalizacji osób starszych w pastoralnej posłudze Kościoła
Authors: Dziedzic Jan
Published: October 2024

Niniejszy artykuł przedstawia współczesne przejawy marginalizacji seniorów oraz poszukuje sposobów przeciwdziałania tym negatywnym zjawiskom mającym dzisiaj miejsce. W naszej refleksji uwzględnimy tylko aspekt pastoralny, dlatego w oparciu o nauczanie Kościoła przedstawimy ocenę tego zjawiska, a następnie przybliżymy konkretne propozycje przeciwdziałania wykluczeniu przez starość w działalności duszpasterskiej. Marginalizacja seniorów wynika ze współczesnej kultury, która preferuje młodość, atrakcyjność i piękno. Powoduje ją także kryzys rodziny, zwłaszcza brak rodzin wielopokoleniowych, co sprawia, że osoby starsze zamieszkuję samotnie, są rzadko odwiedzane i niekiedy umieszczane przez bliskich w instytucjach opiekuńczych. Na wykluczenie społeczne wpływa też przejście na emeryturę i utrata dawnego statusu społecznego i materialnego oraz utrata zdrowia. Marginalizacji seniorów przeciwstawia się Kościół, który wzywa do szacunku wobec osób starszych. Czyni to, ukazując absolutną wartość osoby ludzkiej w każdej bez wyjątku fazie życia. W przeciwdziałaniu marginalizacji społecznej osób w podeszłym wieku  pomagają różne formy duszpasterstwa. Seniorzy jeszcze aktywni mogą się włączyć do różnych wspólnot parafialnych, grup modlitewnych, klubów seniora, wolontariat, czy Uniwersytet Trzeciego Wieku. Troską duszpasterską objęci są także seniorzy w sytuacji choroby i cierpienia. Są to odwiedziny w domu i szpitalu, posługa sakramentalna oraz wsparcie duchowe.
Kult błogosławionej Anieli Salawy na lubelskiej Poczekajce
Authors: Derdziuk Andrzej
Published: October 2024

Kult błogosławionej Anieli Salawy w Lublinie sięga początku lat dziewięćdziesiątych ubiegłego stulecia i rozpoczął się po jej beatyfikacji. Cześć oddawana Błogosławionej z Sieprawia we wspólnocie klasztoru i parafii kapucynów w lubelskiej dzielnicy Poczekajka wyraża się w postaci istniejących tam obrazów i witraża błogosławionej służącej. Rozwija się też kult relikwii, które umieszone w kaplicy Franciszkańskiego Zakonu Świeckich, peregrynują po domach parafian. Inną formą duchowej więzi z błogosławioną Anielą są organizowane pielgrzymki i dni skupienia poświęcone jej postaci. W szerzenie kultu są zaangażowane grupy duszpasterskie działające w parafii, szczególnie Franciszkański Zakon Świeckich i Grupa Modlitwy Ojca Pio.
Pokolenie iGen jako słuchacz homilii, czyli jak głosić Ewangelię współczesnej młodzieży
Authors: Kowalski Rafał
Published: October 2024

Autor tekstu, bazując na wynikach badań przeprowadzonych w Stanach Zjednoczonych, Polsce i Danii wśród osób zaliczanych do tak zwanego pokolenia iGen, poszukuje odpowiedzi na pytanie o możliwości głoszenia słowa Bożego tej grupie słuchaczy. Zwracając uwagę na cechy opisujące omawiane pokolenie (m.in. odejście od religijności, inkluzywność oraz kondycję psychiczną), a także sposób komunikacji czy erozję autorytetów w wirtualnym świecie, wyprowadza postulaty dla kaznodziejów, którzy chcą przekazywać Ewangelię współczesnym nastolatkom i młodym dorosłym. Dotyczą one zarówno treści homilii (prowadzenie do spotkania z Bogiem, przed głoszeniem norm moralnych), jak i formy (dialogiczna postawa, budowanie wspólnoty i retoryka empatii). Autor dostrzega również rolę działań preewangelizacyjnych w wirtualnym świecie, jednak pozostawia tę kwestię do osobnego opracowania.
"Discernment of Spirits" in the theology of Hans Urs von Balthasar and the "The Synodal Way" project in Germany
Authors: Kocjan Przemysław
Published: October 2024

„Die Unterscheidung der Geister“ klingt für zeitgenössische Ohren anachronistisch und wird mit Exorzismen, Okkultismus oder anderen unklaren Praktiken in Verbindung gebracht. Selten denkt jemand an die Gemeinschaft von Qumran, den heiligen Paulus, Origenes oder die Wüstenväter, obwohl man dort bereits eine gründliche Bearbeitung dieses Themas finden kann. Noch seltener kommt jemand auf moderne Philosophie oder Psychologie, obwohl gerade dort eine weitere Entwicklung der angesprochenen Fragen zu finden ist. Die Unterscheidung der Geister hat eine lange, faszinierende Geschichte und deckt sich mit den Ereignissen des menschlichen Geistes. Darüber hinaus dauert der Kampf der Geister — ob wir es wollen oder nicht — weiter an, und jedes weitere menschliche Dasein wird zu ihrem Schlachtfeld. Das letzte Wort in dieser Angelegenheit ist noch nicht gesprochen. Daher ist die Rückkehr zur Theologie der „Unterscheidung der Geister“ bei Hans Urs Balthasar, die auf den geistlichen Übungen des heiligen Ignatius von Loyola basiert, die in diesem Artikel vorgestellt werden, von Interesse. Die Rolle dieses Artikels ist dankbarerweise weniger auf die Systematik und Disziplin des Unterrichts ausgerichtet, sondern betont die Praktikabilität und Nützlichkeit der präsentierten Realität, insbesondere bei der „Unterscheidung der Geister“ im Rahmen des Synodalen Weges in Deutschland.

Protection of critical infrastructure (facilities) in the process of organizing elections in Poland
Authors:   University of Szczecin, Zych Radosław
Published: October 2024

This paper analyses the concept of critical infrastructure (CI) in the context of electoral process organization. I will determine whether the seats of circuit electoral commissions (CECs) meet the relevant criteria. How can such facilities be effectively protected? What does international, European, and national law prescribe in this regard? I will examine doctrine and the provisions of the current legal system, including the documents of the National Electoral Commission (NEC). I adopt the statutory1 assumption whereby critical infrastructure should be understood as systems and their functionally interdependent facilities, including buildings, equipment, installations and services that are essential to the security of the state and its citizens, serving to ensure the proper functioning of public administration bodies, institutions and entrepreneurs. Critical infrastructure is comprised of systems which, for example, ensure the continuity of public administration.
Theoretical foundations of utopian and dystopian parables in world literature

What does the future hold for us? Which path will humanity take? Perhaps people will finally learn from the mistakes of past generations and build a perfect society? Or they will choose a disastrous path, making the life of an individual absolutely unbearable? Science fiction writers have repeatedly tried to find answers… Science fiction is dedicated to the two opposites of the development of civilization. When people talk about fiction of the early twentieth century, they usually mean so-called “science fiction.” The first works of fantastic literature of new varieties began to appear at the end of the 19th century, and individual works even earlier. In this case we are talking about works that combine a literary plot with scientific fragments; at the same time, the work as a whole acquires a journalistic character. At the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries, due to extra-literary factors, this form became extremely popular. Its development is influenced by the rapid growth of scientific, or more precisely, technical research, and the powerful introduction of technology into human life.
Species of the genus Agriotes Eschscholtz, 1829 occurring in Hungary (Coleoptera: Elateridae)
Authors: Németh Tamás
Published: October 2024

Eleven species of the genus Agriotes Eschscholtz, 1829 (Coleoptera: Elateridae: Elaterinae: Pomachiliini) occurring in Hungary are recognised, briefly discussed, and illustrated. It is demonstrated that previous records of Agriotes sordidus (Illiger, 1807) from Hungary were based on misidentification, therefore this species is deleted from the list of the Hungarian fauna.
The short story of A. G. Bitov “Man in the landscape” (1983): the plot of mental wanderings in searching for the essence of art and of the meaning of being

A significant place in the legacy of Andrey Bitov (1937−2018), a contemporary Russian writer, is occupied by analytical essayist prose. His natural philosophy tetralogy “The catechumen” (1971−2011) portrays the travels of the protagonist as a metaphor for the sensory and mental comprehension of reality and the world picture embodiment in the text. The story “Man in the landscape” (1983) involves an acquaintance with an artist, who leads the lyrical hero, a travel writer, into provocative “Socratic dialogues” interpreted as a space of metaphysical quests. The marginal adventures turn out to be a philosophical experiment, a revelation of free thought in the circles of the search for truth. This version of the evolution of artistic forms, starting from primordial mimetism and Renaissance humanism, comprehends the non-classical worldview of the 20th century. This happens not in iconic postmodern art but in the modernist transcendence of the Here-Being. The sequence of loci of the journey takes the hero from the sacred space to the infernal, increasing the semantics of the art phenomenon not only with creative but also with destructive aspects (“art” as “temptation”), strengthening the existential anxiety as a “concern for being.” Salvation is seen as the path of grateful contemplation of the Creation, embodying the essence of the Creator’s plan and testament, helping Him overcome his loneliness. The Being comprehends itself in the mirror of the text, understood as an act of acceptance of life.
Communicative variation of the typical syntactic structure of motion in the Surgut dialect of the Khanty language
Authors:   Institute of Philology of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Plotnikov Ilya M.
Published: October 2024

The standard syntactic structure of motion comprises three elements referred to in this paper as subject, localizer, and predicate. The proto-typical meaning of this structure is represented by simple sentences of motion. This paper examines 144 realizations of this structure selected from a collection of texts of different genres and idioms to examine its communicative variation in the Surgut dialect of the Khanty language. Three main variations of the structure have been identified, with allowance for both constituent order and intonation structure. The first variant is found in contexts describing the activity of a specified subject, with the subject being the theme of the utterance and the localizer and predicate representing its rheme. The other two are used when a particular situation is presented as an event unfolding against a specified localizer, with the communicative roles of the subject and the localizer reversed. While both of the latter were found with various types of localizers, the data suggest a substantial preference for using one of them with typical noun phrases and the other with preverbs, adverbs, and adverbial pronouns. Several cases of using a typical syntactic structure of motion at the beginning of texts have been identified, illustrating a tendency to present events from the subject's perspective when there is no contextual stimulus to warrant adopting the opposite perspective. The findings of the study reveal the similarities in communicative variation patterns between typical structures of motion and existence.
Interpretative potential of the evaluative expressions po-detski (childishly) and po-vzroslomu (maturely): the choice of a speaker
Authors:   Novosibirsk State Pedagogical University, Ruzha Olga А.
Published: October 2024

The paper analyzes the semantics and functioning of the comparative-suggestive adverbs po-detski (childishly) and po-vzroslomu (maturely). The meanings of these words are scarcely reflected in the Russian language dictionaries. The analysis of the materials from the National Corpus of the Russian language has revealed the evaluative semes in the meanings of the words under study. The connection between the expressed evaluation and the societal norms governing the behavior of individuals within a specific age group has been established. The norm expressed by the evaluative adverb po-detski is associated with naivety, trustworthiness, spontaneity, immaturity, and other characteristics of a child. The evaluative adverb po-vzroslomu is characterized by emotional restraint and rationality, seriousness, strength, thoroughness, etc. The discrepancies with the speaker’s stereotypical view of child or adult behavior are expressed in using po-detski and po-vzroslomu as evaluative nominations. The groups of verbs, adverbs, and adjectives have been identified, revealing the evaluative semantics of the words po-detski and po-vzroslomu and determining the specifics of their functioning in speech. The object of evaluation is analyzed from the position of compliance/non-compliance with the age stated by the evaluation lexicon: both lexemes can be used in relation to a child and an adult. A conclusion is made that the content of po-detski and po-vzroslomu assessments, despite the apparent simplicity of interpretation, turns out to be more profound and ambiguous.
The review of the monograph: “The living space and the spiritual world of man through the prism of the languages of Siberia”
Authors:   Kyrgyz-Turkish Manas University, Derbisheva Zamira K.
Published: October 2024

The monograph under review explores the universal concepts of LIFE, DEATH, SOUL, and MOTHERLAND in the languages of the indigenous peoples of Siberia. These languages originate from three distinct language families: Turkic, Tungusic-Manchurian, and Finno-Ugric. The authors provide a comprehensive analysis of these axiologically significant concepts, revealing the similarities and differences in perception and their linguistic interpretation. The work consistently follows the methodology based on the principles of linguocognitive and linguocultural analysis along with comparative-historical verification of the data under study. It is postulated that the linguistic picture of the world of the Siberian peoples reflects pagan ideas differing from the Christian vision of the world, with a man, the only living and inanimate being possessing a soul, occupying a central position. The monograph accurately emphasizes the universal and specific features of the linguistic interpretation of the concepts of LIFE and DEATH in the languages of the indigenous peoples of Siberia. It is noted that the traditional worldview of Siberian peoples clearly reflects the coexistence of a person with representatives of other worlds: the world of spirits (masters of rivers and mountains) and the otherworldly world. The differences in the understanding of MOTHERLAND in the Russian language and the languages of the peoples of Siberia are identified.

This paper discusses the results of the international scientific conference “The life and fate of Nikolai Zabolotsky (1903–1958): on the 120th anniversary of his birth.” The conference was held at the Institute of Russian Literature (St. Petersburg) on September 20 and 21, 2023. The novelty of research approaches for studying the work of Nikolai Zabolotsky and analyzing and interpreting his works is noted. It is to be noted that several reports broaden the conventional contexts in which the creative heritage of Zabolotsky has traditionally been explored.
“Grazhdane lesa” (“Citizens of the forest”) by Nikolay Akhsharumov in the context of the philosophical and aesthetic struggle of the 1860s
Authors:   Institute of Philology of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Kozlov Alexey E. ,   Novosibirsk State Pedagogical University
Published: October 2024

The paper addresses the issues of plot and motif synthesis in Russian fiction by analyzing the allegorical (fantastic) novel “Grazhdane lesa” (“Citizens of the Forest”) by Nikolay Akhsharumov. Throughout the pages of the story, Akhsharumov engages in polemics with renowned writers of his era, including Leo Tolstoy, Fedor Dostoevsky, and Nikolay Chernyshevsky. Some levels of the intertext have been revealed and are discussed in the paper. The examples include modern literature works, scientific treatises, and popular science compilations. The focus is also on the medieval plots of the novel about the fox adapted for the New Age reader by I. V. Goethe in his “Reineke Fuchs” (“Reynard the Fox”) translated into Russian by Mikhail Dostoevsky in 1848. Starting from generalized, stereotyped ideas about Siberia and the Far East, Akhsharumov ignores the rich ethnographic tradition. He creates a dystopia, the central conflict of which is between Lazarus, the symbol of enlightenment and liberal democracy, and the animal world. Special attention is paid to the Old Testament allusions, for the mythopoetics of the novel delves into both the cosmogony plots about the creation of a specific civilization and the eschatological plots centered on the death of a civil society. Akhsharumov considers this motif to be crucial, especially since he was once closely associated with the Petrashevsky circle. Finally, the novel is examined from the point of view of literary failure. In particular, a conclusion is drawn that the synthesis of the contexts under consideration was not organic, resulting in a weightier and unacceptable piece of work for contemporaries.
About the prototypical basis of the novels of D. N. Mamin-Sibiryak “Good Old Times” and “Faithful Slave”
Authors:   Institute of History and Archaeology of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Shkerin Vladimir A.
Published: October 2024

The paper puts forward the hypotheses on what actual events inspired the plots of the novels of Dmitry N. Mamin-Sibiryak, namely “Dobroe staroe vremya” (“Good Old Time”) (1889) and “Vernyy rab” (“Faithful Slave”) (1891). Both novels appeared as a kind of “by-product” of the work on the historical essay “Gorod Yekaterinburg” (“The City of Yekaterinburg”) (1889). The action in both novels takes place in Zagorie, which strongly evokes Yekaterinburg. The period of action is the 1840s and 1850s when the city was under the authority of the director of the Ural mining and metallurgical plants, General Vladimir A. Glinka. In “Dobroe staroe vremya,” he is “the old general”, while in “Vernyy rab,” he is “General Golubko.” The notes in the writer’s notebook seem to point unambiguously to prototypes of other characters in these works. Researchers tend to trust these notes with complete confidence. The writer claims that the novel “Dobroe staroe vremya” tells the “history of Demidoff.” However, no candidate fitting Mamin-Sibiryak’s description has been found in the family of the famous Ural manufacturers. The title of the novel “Vernyy rab” in the writer’s diary is accompanied by the note “The story of General Glinka’s wife.” Nonetheless, the story of the general’s only wife, Ulyana G. Vishnevskaya, has nothing in common with the plot. Searching for the reasons for such discrepancies can provide a better understanding of the specifics of Mamin-Sibiryak’s work with historical material.
