Abstract Objective to translate and cross-culturally adapt Nolan's Intent to Work with Older People Questionnaire into Brazilian Portuguese. Method a methodological study involving translation and cross-cultural adaptation was conducted. The process followed internationally recommended steps, including translation of the original version by two bilingual translators native in the target language, synthesis of versions, back-translation; review by an expert panel of judges, and devising the final version. The final version was applied to 33 nursing students. Results For 33.3% (5) of the items, there was exact agreement between the translations, while for 66.7% (10), the content was largely similar with minor semantic differences. The translated scale had an S-CVI=100%, acceptability of 0.95 and Omega coefficient with alpha=0.61; Ω GR=0.67; ΩDT=0.67; ΩCT=0.62. Conclusion the translation and cross-cultural adaptation process was successful, maintaining the linguistic and semantic properties of the original scale. The resultant scale offers reliable reproducibility.

Abstract Objective To analyze the risk factors associated with hospital readmission of older adults within 30 days. Method A retrospective, case-control study of 568 patients discharged from hospital inpatient units in southern Brazil, comprising 284 cases (readmitted after discharge) and 284 controls (not readmitted) was conducted. Data were collected by consulting electronic medical records and analyzed using bivariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression. Results The variables reason for admission, comorbidities, history of hospitalization in previous year, emergency admission, length of stay, and types of discharge instructions, showed significant group differences (p<0.05) on bivariate analysis. On multivariate logistic regression, the protective factors identified were reason for admission due to infectious/parasitic diseases (p=0.007) and comorbidities categorized as “other” (p<0.001). The risk factors identified were reason for admission due to neoplasm (p<0.001), genitourinary comorbidities (p=0.028), history of hospitalization in previous year (p<0.001), emergency admission (p=0.016), length of stay upon admission in days (p<0.001), and discharge guidance for outpatient or surgical procedure (p=0.008). Conclusion Clinical and organizational risk factors were associated with readmission within 30 days in the older adults and warrant attention when planning care transition actions.

Authors: Melo Raylane Monteiro de , Oliveira Nádia Mayara Santos , Andrade Francisco Laurimar do Nascimento , Gomes Rafaelle Fazzi , Santos Lucas da Silva
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT Eryngium foetidum L. seeds are still predominantly produced by family farmers, in gardens or small plots, using simple cultivation techniques. The seeds exhibit low germination rates and vigor and are acquired through exchange between local producers or from remnants in the cultivation area itself. This study aimed to identify the yield components that contribute most to the seed production of Amazon chicory. A randomized block experiment was conducted with four treatments consisting of different capitula orders (first, second and third order, and a mixture of capitula up to the fourth order) and six replicates. The following traits were assessed: days to the beginning of the foliar differentiation and to flowering, number of leaves in the vegetative, reproductive and harvest stage, number of tillers per plant, number of flowering stems per plant, number of seeds, 100-seed weight, seed production and yield. The data were submitted to correlation network analysis. The number of tillers per plant, flowering stems per plant, number of leaves at harvest and number of seeds are the components that contribute most to the E. foetidum seed yield.

Resumo O currículo da educação médica passa por profundas transformações visando desenvolver competências práticas para o exercício da medicina e, para possibilitar uma atuação centrada no paciente, a ética precisa ocupar lugar central nessa reestruturação. Este estudo tem como objetivo realizar uma revisão de escopo de artigos dos últimos cinco anos que abordam o tema da ética na educação médica. Dessa revisão, dois resultados se destacaram: a estruturação dos conteúdos de ética no currículo e a formação da sensibilidade ética. A formação ética do futuro médico não pode reduzir-se a uma perspectiva cognitivista de saber argumentar e formular juízos morais, mas necessita assumir também a perspectiva afetiva para a criação de sensibilidade ética que compreende atitudes e competências para captar o problema ético em seu contexto.

Resumo Introdução: O Censo Brasileiro de Diálise (CBD) anual apoia e contribui para o desenvolvimento de políticas nacionais de saúde. Objetivo: Reportar dados epidemiológicos de 2023 do CBD da Sociedade Brasileira de Nefrologia (SBN). Métodos: Realizou-se pesquisa em amostra voluntária de centros brasileiros de diálise utilizando questionário online, abrangendo aspectos clínicos e epidemiológicos de pacientes em diálise crônica e características dos centros. Para estimativas de prevalência, incidência e fonte de financiamento da diálise, obtivemos dados de uma amostra aleatória de centros de diálise. Resultados: Um total de 37,5% (n = 332) dos centros respondeu voluntariamente ao questionário online; 124 foram selecionados aleatoriamente para estimativas específicas de taxas de prevalência e incidência. Estimou-se que, em 1º de julho de 2023, o número total de pacientes em diálise era 157.357 e 51.153 iniciaram a diálise em 2023. As taxas estimadas de prevalência e incidência de pacientes por milhão da população (pmp) foram de 771 e 251, respectivamente. Dos pacientes prevalentes, 88,2% estavam em hemodiálise, 8,0% em hemodialfiltração e 3,8% em diálise peritoneal. A prevalência de anemia (Hb <10g/dL) foi 29% e de hiperfosfatemia (P > 5,5mg/dL), 30%. Houve aumento na frequência do uso de cinacalcete e paricalcitol. A taxa bruta global de mortalidade anual estimada foi 16,2%. Conclusões: Estimativas de uma amostra aleatória de centros de diálise mostram que o número absoluto e a taxa de prevalência de pacientes em diálise crônica continuam a aumentar. Um número crescente de pacientes foi submetido à hemodiafiltração e ao uso de cinacalcete e paricalcitol para tratamento de hiperparatireoidismo.

Abstract Objective to analyze social support networks among nursing professionals to ensure access to personal protective equipment during the COVID-19 pandemic in two Brazilian municipalities. Method a cross-sectional study was carried out with 163 nursing professionals from Rio de Janeiro and Fortaleza, whose data collection took place in 2020, using an online questionnaire. The data was analyzed using Social Network Analysis with Gephi software. Results administrators and head nurses played central roles in social support networks, ensuring access to personal protective equipment. However, gaps were identified, including the absence of professional categories such as biologists, nutritionists, and pulmonologists, which indicates possible failures in communication or collaboration between different sectors. Conclusion and implications for practice structured social support networks are essential for the protection of health professionals in crisis situations. Leadership must be strengthened and greater integration between professional categories must be promoted. Training programs and institutional policies that encourage collaboration and mutual support are essential to improve emergency response capacity and ensure the safety of healthcare professionals.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT Purpose To ascertain whether Rapid Maxillary Expansion (RME) elicits effects on the functioning of the middle ear and air-bone gaps in children and adolescents. Methods Single-arm clinical trial, with data collection at four time points: before initiating Rapid Maxillary Expansion (RME) (T0), upon completion of RME (T1), three months post-RME completion (T2), and six months post-RME procedure (T3). The audiological assessment, conducted at all four time points, comprised otoscopy, pure tone and speech audiometry, tympanometry, and acoustic reflex investigation. Results Eighteen children and adolescents met the eligibility criteria. There was a reduction in air-bone gaps and an improvement in middle ear function throughout the follow-up period, between T0, T1, T2, and T3. Three months after the completion of RME, at T2, all patients exhibited type A tympanometric curves, and six months after RME, at T3, there was an absence of air-bone gaps and ipsilateral and contralateral acoustic reflexes present in the entire sample. Conclusion In the studied sample, it was observed that Rapid Maxillary Expansion (RME) led to a gradual reduction in air-bone gaps, resulting in appropriate middle ear function in children and adolescents with transverse maxillary atresia.

ABSTRACT Purpose The study aimed to identify and assess the methodological quality of essential clinical guidelines for the management of laryngitis and pharyngitis. Methods A systematic search of clinical guidelines for the management of laryngitis and pharyngitis was performed in three databases. Methodological quality was assessed according to AGREE II, in which each item in its domains was scored by four independent evaluators. To determine the agreement, a weighted Kappa square statistic calculation was performed. Results 81 studies were found in the bibliographic sources consulted and all were evaluated. Considering the exclusion criteria, seven guidelines were selected for final evaluation by AGREE II. The squared weighted Kappa coefficient calculated after the first round of evaluation by AGREE II was 0.85, within an almost perfect agreement rate. The domains “stakeholder engagement”, “applicability”, and “editorial independence” had the lowest mean scores and the highest standard deviation indices. They had, respectively, a mean score of (63.7%) with a standard deviation of (17%), a mean score of (65.7%) with a standard deviation of (22%), and a mean score of (35%) with a standard deviation of (23%). The use of penicillin, erythromycin, ampicillin, amoxicillin, azithromycin and clarithromycin were recommended in (75%) of all guidelines that presented pharmacological measures. As a non-pharmacological measure, oral rehydration and gargling were recommended by two guidelines. Conclusion The statistical results indicate that all guidelines were considered as recommended. However, no uniformity was observed in the recommendations of these seven guidelines with regard to non-pharmacological and pharmacological treatment.

RESUMO Objetivo Investigar se há diferença na classificação da hipernasalidade de fala de ouvintes não experientes usando escalas ordinais distintas; verificar a concordância dos ouvintes nas análises ao empregar estas escalas e verificar se a ordem de apresentação das escalas influencia os resultados. Método Vinte acadêmicos em Fonoaudiologia classificaram os graus de hipernasalidade de 40 amostras (orais) de pacientes com fissura labiopalatina. Dez realizaram as classificações utilizando escala de 4 pontos (ausente, leve, moderada e grave) e, após duas semanas, utilizando escala de 3 pontos (ausente, pouco hipernasal e muito hipernasal). Outros dez alunos realizaram as mesmas classificações, porém em ordem inversa. As classificações foram feitas de forma remota e documentadas em um formulário. Resultados A porcentagem média de respostas corretas dos alunos, em relação ao padrão-ouro, foi significativamente maior para a escala de 3 pontos. Não houve interação significativa entre ordem de apresentação e escala para o percentual de acerto das classificações. A concordância dos alunos em relação à avaliação padrão-ouro foi regular (escala de 3 pontos) e moderada (escala de 4 pontos). A porcentagem média de concordância das análises intra-avaliador foi significativamente maior para a escala de 3 pontos. Não houve interação significativa entre ordem de apresentação e escala para o percentual das classificações intra-avaliadores. O índice de coeficiente Kappa mostrou concordância intra-avaliador mais favorável para a escala reduzida. Conclusão A escala reduzida favoreceu a classificação da hipernasalidade de fala pelos ouvintes e pode ser considerada uma importante estratégia para favorecer as avaliações iniciais de acadêmicos em Fonoaudiologia durante sua formação.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT Purpose to characterize mastication and electrical activation of the masseter and anterior temporalis muscles in children and adolescents with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), and relate results to guided occlusion and occlusal interference. Methods This observational, analytical cross-sectional study included 22 subjects divided into mild OI (MOI) (type 1) (n=15) and moderate-to-severe OI (MSOI) (types 3, 4, and 5) (n=7) groups. The Orofacial Myofunctional Evaluation with Scores (OMES) form was used to evaluate the clinical aspects of mastication. Surface electromyography was performed on the masseter and anterior temporalis muscles at rest for 10 seconds and during maximum intercuspation, spontaneous chewing, and instructed chewing on the right and left sides. Additionally, the activation index and muscle symmetry were measured. Results a preferentially unilateral chewing pattern was observed in 12 (54.5%) participants. Masticatory patterns did not influence electrical activation during any of the tasks, nor did occlusal guidance during maximum intercuspation or mastication. The percentage of muscle activation during maximal intercuspation approached half of the total activation during spontaneous chewing. In muscle activation indices, the MSOI group presented more atypical scores, while the MOI group scores seemed to be in line with reference values. The symmetry indices seemed to correspond to reference values, but the standard deviation and minimum and maximum values pointed to asymmetric results. Conclusion This study found that the OI population presented muscle imbalances, but the results did not allow us to define one pattern of change.

Published: January 2025

RESUMO Objetivo Verificar se existe relação entre medidas acústicas relacionadas fo e a satisfação vocal de pessoas transgênero brasileiras. Método Estudo quantitativo observacional e transversal, com aplicação do Trans Woman Voice Questionnaire (TWVQ), gravação das vozes (vogal sustentada e fala automática) e extração de sete medidas acústicas relacionadas à posição e variabilidade da fo de pessoas transgênero. Participantes divididos em dois grupos de acordo com o gênero. Realizada análise descritiva e inferencial, a comparação entre os grupos foi realizada pelo Teste T de Student e a correlação das medidas da fo com o protocolo TWVQ foi testada por meio da Correlação de Pearson (p<0,05). Resultados Participaram 11 mulheres (média de idade= 26,91) e sete homens transgênero (média de idade = 26,57). As mulheres desejavam uma voz um pouco feminina, pontuando 72,8 no TWVQ, com valores médios de fo de 165,2Hz nas vogais e 144,5Hz na fala. Os homens desejavam uma voz um pouco masculina, pontuando 68,4 no TWVQ, com valores médios de fo de 143,3Hz nas vogais e 138,9Hz na fala. Dentre as sete medidas avaliadas, apenas fo máxima durante a contagem de números nas mulheres apresentou correlação negativa moderada com o TWVQ (p=0,043). Conclusão Apenas a fo máxima durante a contagem de números das mulheres transgênero demonstrou uma correlação negativa com o escore do TWVQ. Os resultados obtidos sugerem que, embora a fo possa desempenhar um papel na percepção do gênero na voz, ela não é o único determinante da satisfação vocal nesta população.

Exploring the nature of stuttering through a behavioral-neuro-modulation intervention program in bilinguals with stuttering
Authors: Chaudhary Chanchal , Praharaj Samir Kumar , Krishnan Gopee
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT Purpose Investigations on identifying the nature of stuttering present varying views. The argument remains whether the stuttering dysfluencies have a motor or a linguistic foundation. Though stuttering is considered a speech-motor disorder, linguistic factors are increasingly reported to play a role in stuttering. Current literature points towards deficits in speech-related motor areas of the brain to abnormalities in linguistic planning and phonological memory playing a role in stuttering. Examining cross-linguistic generalization of treatment gains from treated to untreated language in bilinguals who stutter may provide a unique opportunity to explore the motor and linguistic factors in stuttering. Methods In the current study, we explored this potential by experimentally controlling the language of treatment in bilinguals with stuttering (BWS). We hypothesized that if the dysfluencies in stuttering arise from the underlying motor deficits, then the language of treatment would not play a significant role in cross-linguistic generalization. Sixteen BWS were given transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) along with behavioral intervention for three weeks. The language of treatment was randomized, wherein participants in one group received behavioral intervention in their dominant language and the other in their non-dominant language. Results Results showed that participants in both groups showed a reduction in their stuttering dysfluencies (% stuttered syllables) regardless of the language of treatment, and the treatment gains were generalized to the non-treated language. Conclusion Linguistic factors such as language dominance and structure of languages did not surface to play a role in the generalization, signaling the motoric nature of dysfluencies in stuttering.

Resumo A identificação das altas habilidades/superdotação (AH/SD) se mostra uma questão complexa e marcada pela falta de consenso. Assim, o presente estudo teve, como objetivo principal, conhecer as principais práticas utilizadas pelos profissionais que atuam nessa área. Trinta e três profissionais responderam a um questionário online contendo 13 questões. Os resultados indicaram que a maior parte deles faz uso de observação, entrevista com pais e professores e análise de desempenho escolar em sua prática. Os principais construtos avaliados são inteligência, criatividade e motivação, destacando-se a predominância de testes padronizados de inteligência, sendo que o principal público atendido são estudantes do Ensino Fundamental I. Diversas dificuldades foram relatadas, destacando-se a avaliação de casos de dupla excepcionalidade e diagnóstico diferencial. Os resultados reforçam a percepção da necessidade de mais estudos voltados à identificação das AH/SD, visando o estabelecimento de uma prática mais consensual e padronizada entre os profissionais.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT Purpose: Prostate Cancer (PCa) is the most common non-cutaneous cancer in males, and Radical Prostatectomy (RP) is among the primary treatments for this condition. Our study aims to investigate the prevalence of climacturia (urine leakage at the moment of the climax), a potential post-RP change related to orgasm. Material and Methods: A systematic review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines and registered on the PROSPERO platform. The search was performed using MEDLINE via PubMed. Results: Thirteen studies met the inclusion criteria and were described separately. Within these studies, 5,208 patients were evaluated, among which 1,417 cases of climacturia were identified, with a prevalence of 27.2%. When we analyzed the robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) subgroup, the prevalence of climacturia was 5.7% vs 1.8% the open radical prostatectomy (ORP) subgroup. Conclusion: Climacturia is a frequently underestimated complication by urologists. Given its significant impact on quality of life, it warrants greater attention from specialists following RP.
Surgical Management of Ischemic Priapism: what are the New Options?
Authors: Badia Rohit , Roberts Sidney , Hertz Alexandria , Morey Allen , VanDyke Maia
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT Ischemic priapism is a true urologic emergency. Prompt intervention is required to alleviate the compartment syndrome and restore perfusion to the corporal bodies; failure to do so results in irreversible damage, fibrosis, and profound erectile dysfunction. This paper's objective is to review current literature surrounding the management options for ischemic priapism, focusing on newer surgical techniques. A PubMed database search was performed in June 2024, encompassing the terms "priapism," and "surgical management." Articles were reviewed by two authors independently and included if they were deemed to pertain specifically to management of ischemic priapism. In the acute setting (certainly for priapism lasting <24 hours), management is often successful using bedside maneuvers such as aspiration, irrigation, and injection of sympathomimetic agents. For more prolonged priapism, more aggressive intervention is often warranted. Newer tunneling techniques—including penoscrotal decompression and the corporal snake maneuver—have shown promising preliminary results, not just in terms of priapism resolution but also perhaps sexual function recovery.

ABSTRACT Objective To analyze trends of syphilis during pregnancy and congenital syphilis, based on reported cases in São Paulo, Brazil, from 2011 to 2023. Methods Ecological time series study, based on data from Notifiable Health Conditions Information System records. The Prais-Winsten method was used to verify trends. Results 125,776 cases of syphilis during pregnancy and 42,418 cases of congenital syphilis were reported. Average annual percentage change (95%CI) in the syphilis during pregnancy incidence rate was 18.68 (95%CI 16.57; 20.84), pvalue < 0.001; while for congenital syphilis it was 11.99 (95%CI 7.00; 17.22), p-value < 0.001. Conclusion Incidence rates of syphilis during pregnancy and congenital syphilis showed significant increasing trends, which may be related to the increase in the former during the diagnosis period (1st trimester), demonstrating increased testing among pregnant women, clinical classification at the time of diagnosis (latent syphilis), as well as inefficiency of adequate treatment when diagnosis is late.
Impact of the Volcker Rule on the Trading Revenue of Largest U.S. Trading Firms During the COVID-19 Crisis Period
Authors: Modig Zach , Inanoglu Hulusi , Lynch David
Published: January 2025

Using a novel data collection, we examine the impact of the Volcker Rule on trading revenue of the 21 largest U.S. trading firms during the 100 day stress period centered on the COVID-19 financial crisis. We find that despite the market volatility, trading profits were consistent with volume-driven fees, commissions, and widening of the bid-ask spread. This work adds to the growing body of evidence that a consequence of the Volcker Rule on firm revenue associated with trading is increased financial stability and decreased risk exposure to market shocks.

Kamchatka honey has a number of special qualities, which makes it always in high demand on the local market. To control the authenticity of its geographical origin, it is necessary to identify the features of a local product, which help to distinguish it from the imported analogues. The pollen analysis of honey samples of 2023 harvest from eight apiaries located in the Avacha lowland was carried out. The basis of the pollen spectrum consists of five plant taxa: Salix sp., Rubus idaeus, Trifolium sp., Sorbus aucuparia L. subsp. Sibirica and Crataegus chlorosarca, which account for more than 90% of pollen grains. The size of 95% of them does not exceed 30 micrometers. This work initiated research to establish the identification indicators of Kamchatka honey.
Моделирование как метод аналитической истории
Authors: Мазур Людмила Николаевна
Published: January 2025

В статье рассматриваются вопросы, связанные с построением и использованием исторических моделей. Интерес к моделированию в отечественной исторической науке появился в 1970-е гг. В настоящее время накоплен солидный опыт в разработке и использовании математических моделей для изучения различных исторических сюжетов. Между тем — помимо количественных моделей — интерес представляют также идеальные (качественные) модели, основанные на логических процедурах абстрагирования и формализации, имеющие высокий эвристический потенциал и являющиеся более доступными широкому кругу историков. В статье основное внимание уделено такому методу качественного моделирования, как схематизация. Чаще всего схема используется в учебных целях для систематизации теоретического материала и иллюстрации. Но она является эффективным исследовательским инструментом за счет того, что сочетает в себе достоинства вербальности, визуальности и аналитичности. Схема позволяет выделить то главное, что требуется для понимания сущности изучаемого объекта, установить необходимые структурно-функциональные или причинно-следственные связи. Помимо характеристики методических проблем схематизации в статье представлен результат разработки моделей структуры и процессов формирования человеческого потенциала, отражающих историческую специфику определенных этапов перехода от традиционного к индустриальному и постиндустриальному обществу. Разработка модели основана на гипотезе о том, что каждый исторический этап имеет характерный социально-демографический профиль, раскрываемый через понятие человеческий потенциал, и реализует определенные сценарии преобразования его в человеческий капитал/квазикапитал. Предложенные модели оформлены в виде блок-схем, снабжены описанием и ориентированы на решение задач концептуализации исторического анализа процессов формирования человеческого потенциала промышленного города в условиях модернизационного перехода.
Взгляды Р.У. Эмерсона на природу исторического познания
Authors: Ракитин Павел Юрьевич
Published: January 2025

Нравственная философия трансцендентализма американского эссеиста, лектора и поэта Р.У. Эмерсона (1803–1882) отобразила духовные искания поколения американских интеллектуалов первой половины XIX века. Укорененный в наследии протестантской веры и культуры, подобно своим предкам на протяжении двух столетий, Эмерсон получил духовное воспитание и образование и начал свой жизненный путь как пастор одного из старейших приходов Бостона. Однако позднее в ходе духовных и философских исканий он существенно изменил свое мировоззрение, а с ним и деятельность. Из пастора местной общины верующих Эмерсон превратился в популярного лектора, обращенного к массовой аудитории разных городов и штатов Америки. В работе прослеживается генезис взглядов Эмерсона на всемирную историю: от христианских воззрений в годы его пасторской деятельности к построению субъективистской исторической эпистемологии (с середины 1830-х гг.) и осмыслению роли великих личностей в истории, что было с энтузиазмом воспринято Ницше, в частности, в его работе над трактатом «Так говорил Заратустра». Мы уделяем особое внимание вопросу о том, как богословие и ритуальная практика конгрегационализма, а также достижения библейской филологии повлияли на построенную Эмерсоном концепцию истории, исключающую Евангельские события как смысловой центр всемирной истории и подразумевающую возможность для индивида аутентично и достоверно пережить однажды происшедшие события в своем субъективном опыте. С особенным вниманием рассмотрены такие тексты, как Проповеди №5 и №162, дневниковые записи, лекции «О Евангелиях», лекция «Философия истории» и эссе «История».

Mito-IP: Immunopurification of Mitochondria from MitoTag Cultured Cells v1
Authors: Themistokleous Christos
Published: January 2025

Cell organelles represent a minor fraction of the total cellular content, making whole-cell profiling inadequate for monitoring changes in the mitochondrial proteome, metabolome, and lipidome. Traditional techniques for purifying mitochondria have inherent limitations, often compromising organelle purity, isolation time, or viability. Additionally, the components of conventional organellar isolation buffers, such as sucrose, can interfere with mass spectrometry (MS) profiling. To overcome these challenges, a novel method called 'Mito-IP,' was developed which facilitates the rapid immunopurification of pure and intact mitochondria. This method enables mitochondrial isolation within 10 minutes and supports various downstream applications, including immunoblotting, proteomic, metabolomic, and other -omic analyses. Following the success of the Mito-IP method, the same epitope-tagged concept is being extended to the isolation of other organelles, including lysosomes (Lyso-IP), Golgi (Golgi-IP), and peroxisomes (Peroxo-IP). The following optimised protocol details the immunoprecipitation of mitochondria from cultured cells. The same steps apply to the immunopurification of other organelles when the HA-epitope tag is present on the organelle of interest.
Common features of spontaneity and stream of consciousness in prose, poetry and song lyrics
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Yanush Oleg
Published: January 2025

The article deals with basic techniques and means of expression in literature like spontaneity and stream of consciousness. Taking into consideration different literary devices of expressing and depicting thoughts, experiences, moods, the author focuses on those two phenomena in language of prose, poetry, music lyrics of well-known authors of the 20th century. The author has deeply studied different researches on the topic, fulfilled particularly by prominent philosophers and psychologists of 19th and 20th centuries.

Spontaneity is defined as human quality, which determines as well as influences the reaction on changing of certainty or unusual lifetime conditions. Within this connection the author mentions the theory for researching concepts of spontaneity and creativity. Attention is paid to spontaneity and creativity as different categories, but strategically linked. After all, he claims that a high degree of spontaneity does not mean creativity. Both categories can be applied in literature or song writing, in a skillful manner in particular.

The author proposes the definition of the phenomenon of stream of consciousness as a stylistic device for the linguistic organization of the written text, which shows the complicated process of mental thinking with deep concentration on thoughts and feelings. Also, it is necessary to add that some authors determine several parts of this process (the stream): the pre-impulse to think, the thought, and the external circumstances at present time, that is simultaneously, evoking some reactions and changing the thinking process, closely connecting it with the concept of spontaneous poetry and prose.

The attention has been emphasized on the spiritual life of the individual, the spontaneity of the emergence of thoughts and images, combination of the conscious and the unconscious, the rational and the sensual, increased emotionality, etc.

Special attention is also paid to spontaneity and stream of consciousness as essential concepts in order to differentiate synonymic of lexemes denoting behavioral traits of a person's character, which look alike at first glance only: impulsivity, improvisation and quick burst of emotionality. These characteristics of human actions have also been distinguished and differentiated.

As a result of analysis of both concepts, the author concludes to support the idea of common features for spontaneity and stream of consciousness, taking into account that in literature these concepts are implemented in poetic texts as literary devices. That is why the necessity to explore literary works in further scientific investigations is signified by the represented research.
