Published: December 2021

For many years, coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) have been considered non-pathogenic bacteria. However, recently, CoNS are becoming more common bacteriological factors isolated from cases of chronic rhinosinusitis in humans. Moreover, most of them represent the multidrug-resistant or/and methicillin-resistant profile, which significantly increases the therapeutic difficulties. The aim of the study was to characterize profile of resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci isolated from cases of chronic rhinosinusitis in patients treated in a Medical Center in Warsaw in 2015–2016.

The study material was derived from patients with diagnosed chronic rhinosinusitis treated at the MML Medical Center in Warsaw. The material was obtained intraoperatively from maxillary, frontal, and ethmoid sinuses.

In total, 1,044 strains were isolated from the studied material. Coagulase-negative staphylococci were predominant, with the largest share of Staphylococcus epidermidis. Isolated CoNS were mainly resistant to macrolide, lincosamide, and tetracycline. Among the S. epidermidis strains, we also showed 35.6% of MDR and 34.7% of methicillin-resistant strains.

The same values for other non-epidermidis species were 31.5% and 18.5%, respectively and the percentage of strains with MAR >0.2 was greater in S. epidermidis (32.6%) than S. non-epidermidis (23.9%). Although the percentage of strains resistant to tigecycline, glycopeptides, rifampicin and oxazolidinones was very small (2.3%, 1.9%, 1.4% and 0.7% respectively), single strains were reported in both groups.

The study has shown a high proportion of MDR and methicillin-resistant CoNS strains, which indicates a large share of drug-resistant microorganisms in the process of persistence of chronic rhinosinusitis; therefore, isolation of this group of microorganisms from clinical cases using aseptic techniques should not be neglected.

Published: December 2021

Theoretical background: The Dysfunctional Attitude Scale (DAS) is a measurement tool that is commonly used to detect dysfunctional beliefs contributing to the emergence and onset of depressive symptoms. Although it has been primarily used for testing clinical populations, and various forms of the scale have been created, only a small body of literature has proved its psychometric adequacy on a clinical sample. Goals: Therefore, the current study aims to construct an updated, reliable and brief version of the DAS. Methods: For this purpose, besides the normal samples of adolescents (n = 195) and adults (n = 270), a heterogeneous clinical sample (n = 1077) was involved in cross-sectional research. Results: The overall results of parallel analysis and exploratory factor analysis suggested a bifactor structure with a general factor and three extracted subfactors (Dependence, Perfectionism and Entitlement), comprising 14 items altogether (χ2 = 157.26, DF = 63, p < 0.001, CFI = 0.970, TLI = 0.957, RMSEA = 0.036, RMSEA CI90 = 0.029–0.044). Convergent validity was tested by correlations with Beck Depression Inventory (r = 0.36, p < 0.001). Conclusion: Our study was based on the largest clinical sample in the field of psychometric analysis of the DAS so far. The findings suggest that DAS14 as a brief version of the original DAS has good psychometric properties, and it can be widely used as a measurement tool in the assessment of mood disorders.

Elméleti háttér: A Diszfunkcionális Attitűd Skála (DAS) egy olyan pszichológiai kérdőíves eljárás, amely azon diszfunkcionális hiedelmek mérésére alkalmas, amelyek hozzájárulnak a depresszív tünetek kialakulásához és fennmaradásához. Annak ellenére, hogy már számos változata létezik és elsődleges használati területét a klinikai populáció jelenti, pszichometriai mutatóit klinikai mintán a kutatások szűk köre vizsgálta. Cél: Jelen tanulmány célja a DAS aktualizálása, rövidítése, megbízhatóságának és validitásának vizsgálata. Módszer: Keresztmetszeti kérdőíves vizsgálatunk keretében egészséges serdülő (n = 195) és felnőtt (n = 270) minta mellett heterogén klinikai mintát (n = 1077) alkalmaztunk. Eredmények: A parallelelemzés és a feltáró faktoranalízis eredményei a bifaktoros struktúrát igazolják. A 14 itemre egy általános és három alfaktor (Dependencia, Perfekcionizmus és Elvárások) illeszthető (χ2 = 157,26, DF = 63, p < 0.001; CFI = 0,970; TLI = 0,957; RMSEA = 0,036, RMSEA 90% CI = 0.029 – 0.044). A skála konvergens validitását a Beck Depresszió Kérdőívvel való korrelációja alátámasztja (r = 0,36;p < 0,001). Konklúzió: A DAS pszichometriai vizsgálatai közül ez idáig alkalmazott legnagyobb klinikai elemszámú vizsgálatát mutatja be a ta nulmány. Az eredmények alapján a DAS rövidített változata, a DAS-14 megfelelő pszicho metriai tulajdonságokkal rendelkezik alkalmazható a hangulatzavarok diagnosz tikájában.
A gyermekkori csonttörések kapcsolata az időskori osteoporosissal: véletlen vagy előrejelzés?
Authors: Hosszú Éva , Horváth Csaba , Mészáros Szilvia , Kovács Gábor
Published: December 2021

Összefoglaló. A gyermekek közel fele szenved el csonttörést. Ez
lehet traumás esemény vagy a csontfejlődést megzavaró genetikus, hormonális vagy
egyéb eltérés a csontváz bármely részén. A leggyakoribb azonban az enyhe trauma
kapcsán jelentkező csuklótáji törés, amely többnyire a pubertas alatt fordul
elő. A jelenség alapja, hogy a serdülés során átmenetileg elválik egymástól a
csontok méretének gyors növekedése és a csonttömeg gyarapodása, ami a
longitudinális növekedést kb. egy év késéssel követi. Az így kialakuló átmeneti
csontgyengeség a gyermekkori csonttörés fő oka, aminek a hatásához az említett
genetikai, hormonális és életmódi rendellenességek is csatlakozhatnak. A
gyermekkorban előfordult kistraumás csonttörés a felnőtt férfiaknál az
osteoporosisos csonttörések fokozott rizikójával jár, ezért szűrővizsgálati
kérdésként is szolgál. Nők esetében ugyanez az összefüggés még bizonyításra vár.
Orv Hetil. 2021; 162(42): 1687–1692.

Summary. Bone fracture occurs nearly in half of the children. Some
fractures are severe traumatic events while others are the results of genetic or
hormonal or other alterations disturbing the normal development of bone.
However, the majority of fractures are associated with a mild trauma, dominantly
in the pubertal period. The basic pathology of the pubertal fractures is the
transient deviation of peak velocity of height growth from the gain velocity of
bone mass; the latter goes to peak 1 year later than height growth. This
difference has been resulted in a physiologic but transient weakening of bones
that can coincide with genetic, hormonal or life-style problems and all of these
factors together may cause the increased fragility of the pubertal bone.
Low-trauma fractures in childhood may be followed in high fracture risk of adult
and aging men, so the childhood fracture seems to be a useful screening question
for testing the osteoporosis in males. However, the same relation is still not
proved in aging women. Orv Hetil. 2021; 162(42): 1687–1692.
A szerzett haemophilia A sikeres kezelése
Authors: Kovács Andrea , Tajti Balázs , Szoboszlay István , Bereczky Zsuzsanna , Ilonczai Péter
Published: December 2021

Összefoglaló. A szerzett haemophilia A ritka autoimmun betegség,
melyben gátlótest képződik a VIII. véralvadási faktor ellen. Az inhibitor
véralvadásra gyakorolt hatása súlyos, életet veszélyeztető vérzéses állapotot
idéz elő. A beteg élete a gyors diagnózison múlik: a jellemző klinikai kép
mellett a megnyúlt, normálplazmával nem korrigálható aktivált parciális
tromboplasztinidő megléte esetén a kórkép alapos gyanúja merül fel. Egy súlyos
vérszegénység miatt kórházunkba beutalt nőbeteg esetében a szerzett haemophilia
A a felvételt követő napon már diagnosztizálásra került. A vérzés
megszüntetésére aktivált protrombinkomplex-koncentrátumot alkalmaztunk, valamint
immunszuppresszív terápiát vezettünk be. A kórkép korai felismerése és a
megfelelő kezelés azonnali megkezdése a beteg gyógyulását eredményezte.
Esetünkkel arra szeretnénk felhívni a figyelmet, hogy a szerzett haemophilia A
gyors diagnózisa egyszerű, könnyen hozzáférhető véralvadási paraméter, az
aktivált parciális tromboplasztinidő meghatározásán és nem korrigálható
megnyúlásának felismerésén múlik. Orv Hetil. 2021; 162(49): 1977–1981.

Summary. Acquired haemophilia A is a rare autoimmune disorder, in
which antibodies are formed against coagulation factor VIII. The effect of the
inhibitor on blood clotting results in severe, life-threatening bleeding
diathesis. The patient’s life depends on the rapid diagnosis: besides the
characteristic clinical presentation, a prolonged activated partial
thromboplastin time, which is not corrigible with normal plasma, suggests the
existence of the disorder. In the case of the female patient who was referred to
our hospital due to severe anaemia, acquired haemophilia A was diagnosed
rapidly, the day after her admission. We used activated prothrombin complex
concentrate to stop the bleeding, and introduced immunosuppressive therapy. The
early recognition of the disease and immediate initiation of adequate treatment
resulted in the patient’s full recovery. With our case presentation, we would
like to draw attention to the fact that the rapid diagnosis of acquired
haemophilia A depends on the determination of a simple, easily accessible
coagulation parameter, the activated partial thromboplastin time and on the
immediate recognition of its incorrigible prolongation. Orv Hetil. 2021;

Az aortaív-anomáliák klinikai jelentősége a magzattól a felnőttkorig
Authors: Hartyánszky István , Bogáts Gábor
Published: December 2021

Összefoglaló. Az intrauterin echokardiográfiás és MR-diagnosztika
fejlődése napjainkban jelentős szerepet tulajdonít már az első trimeszter
idejében kimutatható aortaív-fejlődési rendellenességeknek. Célunk volt
részletezni a vascularis gyűrűk megjelenési formáit, ezek különböző életkorokban
jelentkező tüneteit, sebészi kezelését, hogy hozzájárulhassunk a helyes
felvilágosításhoz, mely alapvető lehet a szülés helyének megválasztásában, így
meghatározhassák a magzat sorsát, perinatalis ellátását. A situs inversustól
eltekintve a jobb oldali aortaív jelenléte mindig felhívja a figyelmet
vascularis gyűrű, társuló szívhibák, genetikai betegségek, kromoszómaanomáliák
jelenlétére, tehát a magzat további vizsgálata szükséges. Kettős aortaív esetén
jelentkezhetnek olyan súlyos tünetek, melyek a megszületés után, kora
csecsemőkorban sebészi beavatkozást igényelhetnek (szükséges lehet a szülés
helyének megválasztása!). Az aberráns jobb arteria subclavia önállóan nem alkot
érgyűrűt, a ritkán társuló truncus caroticusszal csak későbbi életkorban okozhat
sebészi beavatkozást igényló enyhe tüneteket. Orv Hetil. 2021; 162(48):
1920–1923.

Summary. Nowadays, the development of intrauterine echocardiography
and MR diagnostics plays a significant role in aortic arch malformations
detected during the first trimester. Our aim was to detail the manifestations of
vascular rings, their symptoms at different ages and their surgical treatment
options in order to determine the fate of the fetus and its perinatal care.
Apart from situs inversus, the presence of the right aortic arch always draws
the attention to the possible presence of vascular rings, associated heart
defects, genetic diseases, or chromosomal abnormalities, therefore further
examinations of the fetus are necessary. In the case of a double aortic arch,
severe symptoms may occur, which may require surgery after birth and in early
infancy (it may be necessary to choose the place of birth!). The right aberrant
subclavian artery does not form a ring and may cause mild symptoms requiring
surgery at a later age with rarely associated truncus carotid. Orv Hetil. 2021;

Published: December 2021

Összefoglaló. A dystrophia myotonica (DM) multiszisztémás,
autoszomális domináns módon öröklődő, többségében felnőttkori izombetegség,
melynek incidenciája 1 : 8000. A betegség kapcsán fellépő izomszöveti
degeneráció a harántcsíkolt izomszövet átépülése mellett a szívizomszövetet is
érinti, ami fontos oki szerepet játszik az érintett betegek csökkent várható
élettartamában. A DM-ben szenvedők halálozásának közel egyharmadáért a
cardiovascularis okok tehetők felelőssé. Esetriportunkban egy 52 éves, korábban
kritikus bradycardia és I. fokú atrioventricularis blokk miatt
pacemakerimplantáción átesett, DM-mel diagnosztizált nőbeteg kardiológiai
utánkövetését mutatjuk be. A hirtelen szívhalál rizikóstratifikációja céljából
elvégzett invazív elektrofiziológiai vizsgálat során kamrafibrilláció lépett
fel, így a korábban implantált pacemakerelektródák mellé sokkelektróda került
beültetésre, a pacemakerkészüléket implantálható kardioverter-defibrillátorra
(ICD) cseréltük. Az 1 éves ICD-kontrollvizsgálat során azt találtuk, hogy a
beültetés óta 22, tartós kamrai tachycardiával járó epizód lépett fel, melyek
közül a készülék valamennyit sikeresen terminálta. Az eset bemutatásával
szeretnénk rámutatni arra, hogy a magas cardiovascularis rizikócsoportba tartozó
DM-betegek azonosítása kiemelkedő fontosságú lehet a hirtelen szívhalál
megelőzése érdekében. Orv Hetil. 2021; 162(46): 1856–1858.

Summary. Myotonic dystrophy (DM) is one of the most frequent
adulthood diseases of the skeletal muscles, which develops multisystemic
features and shows autosomal dominant trait. In DM, tissue degeneration affects
not only the skeletal, but the cardiac muscle, too. In one third of the
patients, the cause of death is of cardiac origin. We report on our patient’s
case, who was diagnosed with DM at the age of 52, in whom episodes of critical
bradycardia with first-degree atrioventricular block was detected, resulting in
a pacemaker implantation. Invasive cardiac electrophysiological study was
performed, during which ventricular fibrillation was registered. A shock
electrode was added to the previously implanted pacemaker, enabling
defibrillation in case of detection of a sustained ventricular arrhythmia.
During the 1-year follow-up, 22 episodes of sustained ventricular tachycardia
were identified, with the device successfully terminating the malignant
arrhythmias. Our case shows that electrophysiological study and the succeeding
implantation of an implantable cardiac defibrillator is highly important in
identifying and terminating ventricular arrhythmias in high-risk DM patients.

Background and Study Aim. Judo is a popular sport with dynamic characteristics and requires high physical abilities to achieve achievement. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of plyometric exercises with active-passive recovery for eight weeks to improve the physical ability of male judo athletes. Material and Methods. This study used an experimental method. A total of 36 male judoka participated as samples and were randomly divided into three groups. The plyometric experimental group with active recovery (21.8±1.78 years, 1.70±0.06 m, 71.1±13.5 kg), plyometric experimental group with passive recovery (21.7±2.53 years, 1.71±0.06 m, 63.8±10.1 kg), and the control group (21.4±2.30 years, 1.72±0.05 m, 67.4±7.76 kg). The training program was conducted for eight weeks with a frequency of 3 times/week. The experimental group was treated with plyometric training after warm-up, judo training, and post-exercise active-passive recovery intervention. The control group continued regular judo training. The statistical analysis procedure used the ANOVA test to determine the difference and comparison of the pre-test and post-test mean values in the control and experimental groups with a significance level (p<0.05). Results. The results showed differences in the average value of experimental and control groups found significant to the VO2Max endurance and leg power. Meanwhile, no significant difference occurred in left and right grip strength, flexibility, and speed. Conclusions. The study concluded that plyometric training with active-passive recovery positively affects male judoka's VO2max endurance and leg power.

Published: December 2021

In July 2021 the government issued a policy on the Implementation of Restrictions on Community Activities (PPKM) of the Java-Bali Emergency as a step in tackling the Covid-19 pandemic crisis in the Java region. This policy is specifically addressed to the governors in Java as instructions to be able to suppress the decline in the number of COVID-19 cases in their respective regions. The governors used Instagram as one of the channels in communicating the policy. The study aims to look at the comparison of crisis communication strategies carried out by governors through Instagram. The study is based on the Situational Crisis Communciation Theory (Timothy Coombs, 1995). Content Analysis is used as a tool to analyze the contents of the uploads of governors in java about emergency PPKM. The results of this study show that crisis communication conducted by governors has a different tendency to communicate the substance of policy.

Effects of embedding depth and load eccentricity on lateral response of offshore monopiles in dense sand: a centrifuge study
Authors: Li Zhong-Sen , Blanc Matthieu , Thorel Luc
Published: December 2021

Two model piles with outer diameter D = 50 mm are loaded laterally at 100g in a large-beam geotechnical centrifuge. The normal strains on both the tensile and compressive sides are measured using fibre Bragg gratings. An incremental method is introduced to define the pivot point. The testing and analytical programme enables the effect of the embedding depth and load eccentricity to be quantified. The key findings are as follows. (a) The piles generate asymmetric tensile and compressive strains during bending, and the tension–compression asymmetry becomes more pronounced at the pile toe and for shorter piles. (b) The piles transition from flexure to rotation as the embedding depth is decreased from 9D to 3D, where the uniqueness of the ground-level rotation and deflection (θg–yg) relationship disappears. (c) The reaction and deflection (P–y) relationship flattens with increasing embedding depth but seems independent of the load eccentricity.
Anything goes a philosophia perennis. The functioning of the “reference framework” phenomenon in philosophical reflection
Authors: Woźniczka Maciej
Published: December 2021

The text proposes an interpretation of the reference framework and the framing procedure in philosophy through the construction of the context of references. The essential question addresses the type of conditions associated with the practice of a given philosophy. The basic conditions connected with the tradition, the scope of reflection and the interpretative method used have been analyzed in the work. The examples of positive and negative framing have been presented in the first group of conditions. The possibility of a neutral framing has been discussed on the basis of the concept of no-assumption philosophy. In the second group, the attention has been paid to the cultural framework and the worldview / ideological framework related to the practice of philosophy. Finally, the analysis of the frameworks for the methods used in philosophy has been carried out on the example of such attitudes as anything goes and philosophia perennis. The legitimacy of in-depth reflection on framing also in the construction of a philosophical statement has been stated in the conclusions.
The frame problem and problem frame
Authors: Buda Stanisław
Published: December 2021

In the first part, the author discusses the methodological status of interdisciplinary research. Some general issues may be problematized within various disciplines; each of them only examines a certain aspect of the issue. Philosophical categories represent some ideas par excellence, while the terms used by the specific sciences represent models of some of their aspects. The second part recalls the most important problems signaled by engineers and programmers of machines, which are to operate in an external, changing environment, realizing autonomously the objectives set for them. In parts three and four, the author attempts to specify the essential operations that the decision making machine performs. The nature of these operations should be adapted to the requirement that the machine should focus on what is important for the task it performs.
A frame as a painting border
Authors: Mordka Artur
Published: December 2021

The aim of the article is to explain the meaning of a frame as a painting border. Its explanation will be presented on two levels. By taking the first level into consideration I indicate the special place of a frame as a border between entity (reality itself) and non-entity (a painting). The last one is here understood as an object that does not exist in the strict sense of the word “exist”. It means that its frame is the phenomenally given sign of existential negation. As far as the second level is concerned other meaning of a frame will be taken into account: as a border between autonomous and primary entity and an “entity” whose being is secondary and derivative.
The Bauhaus Frame Reliability and Loosening
Authors: Łyszcz Kazimierz M.
Published: December 2021

The paper presents the problem of the frame, a clearly prevalent pattern in the selected activities of Bauhaus representatives. Despite only a dozen years of its existence, the school of modern architecture and design had a significant impact on the 20th-century world of art, and its social context, aesthetic and functions. In spite of its utilitarianist approach, it has developed a variety of standpoints that resulted in debates over the limits of art and have evolved into a wide range of creative movements that became a permanent feature of the art world. The essence of artistic activity evolved in this formation in two seemingly contradictory directions – towards a radical consolidation of the visual form, which is devoid of any decorations, and its gradual opening to the space surrounding the artistic and design activity. The first direction led to strengthening the integrity of the work and its materiality, while the second led to interference with the environment and the disappearance of the outline of the form. The diverse involvements and relations between these attitudes created different understandings of the frame encompassing the works.
The Philosophical Lineage of Mr. Cogito (part 1)
Authors: Kozdęba-Murray Halina
Published: December 2021

This article constitutes the first part of a larger paper concerning the philosophical provenance of Mr. Cogito, the title character of poems by Zbigniew Herbert, which were published under the same title by “Czytelnik” in 1974. The poet used to study philosophy and corresponded for many years with his Master, Professor Henryk Elzenberg. The first part of the paper presents Mr. Cogito’s polemics with Cartesian apriorism, according to which only rational thinking leads to the knowledge of the truth. Herbert’s lyrical character draws attention to the fallacy of Cartesian methodological reductionism; Mr. Cogito’s knowledge is individual, connected with both his mind and his sense and empirical experience. In the terminology of J.H. Newman, whose philosophy was known to Herbert, there is not merely notional knowledge, based on ratio, but the equally important real knowledge, which stems from the experience of an individual human being.
Ecumenical upbringing – the implementation of the organisational forms and the methods of the activity of schools above the primary level, taking under consideration the diversity of faiths and confessions on the land of Pszczyna
Authors: Ruman Natalia
Published: December 2021

In the contemporary socio-cultural assumptions, there is a need for the program, which appeared to cultural pluralism and religious among students. This growing awareness of the existing different communities is one of the reasons that education assign a significant role in shaping the life model based on the interaction of individuals and communities, and entire societies - without destructive conflicts of national, ethnic, religious or cultural. The main foundations would be tolerance for attitudes and customs, respect for language, traditions, religions of all students, the mutual enrichment through exchange of values, instilling the principles of peaceful existence and cooperation in social and cultural opposition to any form of discrimination, and - apart from learning about their own history and culture - getting to know the values of other cultures. Functioning in a culturally diverse environment makes it assume a distinctive lifestyle, behavior and conduct, drawing from more than one source of culture, assimilating more or less consciously different values, directly experiencing other cultures and entering into direct interaction with its representatives. To do this, develop the concept of integral education and pedagogy open, inspired, among others, Christianity. Religious Education is to fill an important humanizing role. It gives a basis to build attitudes of intercultural dialogue and tolerance.
Urban primary schools for Jewish population in the multi-cultural Częstochowa of the interwar period
Authors: Zalas Katarzyna
Published: December 2021

In the years 1918–1939, Częstochowa was a multicultural city just like the entire Second Republic was a multicultural country. Groups of people different in the aspects of their ethnic origin, speaking different languages, belonging to different religions, and also representing different cultures co-existed in it; nevertheless, it was Jews that constituted the dominant minority as far as religion was concerned. Economic development, territorial growth, and also increase in the population, observed throughout the period referred to hereinabove, and, first and foremost, a constantly increasing headcount of Jewish minority, rendered it necessary to organise social-cultural and educational institutions, the lion’s share of which were charitable and philanthropic organisations. The demographic structure in the years 1918–1939 determined the educational needs of the city as well. So as to ensure that Jewish population could undergo a compulsory education and complete it, the authorities of the city handed over three municipal primary schools (bearing the following numbers: 12, 13 and 15) to be used only and solely by the members of this very minority. The schools in question constituted an integral element of primary education in the city, and, therefore, suffered from the same difficulties with finding suitable buildings, personnel and organisation. It is, however, worth indicating that, thanks to the grassroots initiatives of the faculty in the aspect of the organisation of upbringing activities, these schools instilled the spirit of respect for the people of all confessions and nationalities, as well as for the state and local community.
N. I. STRAKHOV’S WORKS OF SATIRE AND ‘THE FASHIONABLE BOOK’ BY L.-A. CARACCIOLI
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Trakhtenberg Lev A.
Published: December 2021

In 1790–1793 Nikolai Strakhov publishes The Satirical Bulletin (1790–1792), A Handbook for Winter Moscow Visitors (1791), The Correspondence of Fashion and The Lamentations of Fashion over the Expulsion of Fashionable and Expensive Goods (1793). The paper shows that The Fashionable Book by the French writer Louis-Antoine Caraccioli, published in Russian translation in 1789, could have been one of their literary sources. All the Strakhov’s works mentioned above share a common topic with the book by Caraccioli: fashion. In A Handbook, The Correspondence and The Lamentations of Fashion, as well as in The Fashionable Book, fashion is the only topic, while in the journal The Satirical Bulletin it is central. Perhaps Caraccioli’s satire suggests to Strakhov the very idea of a full-length book dealing entirely with the subject of fashion, the idea the writer develops in his A Handbook and The Correspondence. A Handbook shares one more important feature with its probable French inspiration: a specific mode of communication with the readers. Both books are addressed to fops, who are obsessed with fashion, as if aimed at attracting their attention. In both books fops are given advice characterizing the behavior that is usual in high society. While such recommendations constitute a minor part of Caraccioli’s satire, they predominate in A Handbook. Obviously, the appeal to fops is, in fact, ironic; the advice given to them should not be taken at face value. In both books fashion is the object of satire. Strakhov’s acquaintance with the Russian translation of Caraccioli’s book may be supposed for the reason that this translation is printed by N. Novikov, who at the time, i. e. in the second half of the 1780s, collaborates with Strakhov, publishing his translations of foreign literature. The fact that Strakhov’s works appear soon after the Russian translation of The Fashionable Book serves as an additional argument in favor of their connection.
TERMS, NOMENS AND PRAGMATONYMS IN THE SPECIAL LANGUAGE OF SPORT (Based on Eponymous Terms)
Authors:   Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University, Bobyreva Natalia N.
Published: December 2021

The article deals with the problem of distinguishing between terminology and nomenclature in the eponymous lexis of sports. It starts with a review of research works concerned with the differences between terms, nomens, and pragmatonyms. As the extralinguistic factors influence research into peculiarities of a particular special language, including the status of its units, there is also provided a review of works covering the problems of special sports lexis classification. Eponymous lexis is considered as a special and significant inventory of special language units, from the historical, cultural, and professional points of view. The proper name as a constituent of eponymous terms, nomens, and pragmatonyms predetermines the similarities between these types of lexis. The functional features common for eponymous terms, nomens, and pragmatonyms are their international character and stylistic neutrality, i. e. the ability to function in all the registers of communication. Distinguishing between eponymous terminology and nomenclature is based on the semantic criteria, namely the idea of the referent’s oneness. The semantic meaning and thematic relatedness of the unit, as well as the nomination principles, are taken into account. Eponymous terms are the units formed on the basis of proper names and denoting actions, systems of exercises, equipment, rules, formulae for coun­ting the results. Eponymous nomens are the units naming sports facilities, competitions, prizes, teams, and clubs. The names of products manufactured in lots are considered to be pragmatonyms. The methodology upon which the suggested classification is based may be used in research on special languages of other spheres, eponymous units related to different themes, and while analyzing the linguistic features of units belonging to the special language of sports.
THE COGNITIVE PATTERN ‘MENTAL PHENOMENA’ IN THE ENGLISH LINGUOCULTURE
Authors:   Samara State University of Social Sciences and Education, Savitskaya Ekaterina V.
Published: December 2021

The article contains the results of research on historical continuity and parallelism between concrete eidetic verbal thinking and abstract conceptual verbal thinking. We demonstrate how sensory images acquire a symbolic function, expressing abstract ideas, and how events of the inner (mental) world are modeled by using images of events of the outer (material) world. In the course of historical evolution, on its way to becoming abstract, human thinking inherited patterns developed at previous stages; new ideas concerning the world are based on old ones, used as a foundation. The cognitive basis of abstract thinking consists of sensory images. By way of illustration, we study the cognitive pattern ‘Mental Phenomena’ belonging to the English linguoculture, in which images of events occurring in the objective (material) world serve as models of events occurring in the subjective (mental) world. The results of this process are embodied in the meanings, the inner form, and the combinability of units of the English language. The examples given in the article show that the sensory substrate has deeply and organically grown into abstract thinking and latently influences it. Even scientific abstract thinking is not free from sensory visualization; the latter acts as its cognitive substrate. This visualization, which makes it possible to model objects by analogy, plays a useful role in scientific thinking. In many units of the English language having an abstract meaning and included into the semantic field ‘Mental Phenomena’, a concrete meaning may be found at some point of their semantic evolution. This is a manifestation of historical continuity and structural parallelism between concrete and abstract thinking.
Cabo Pulmo y el Uróboro: un caso multiescalar de perspectivas socioambientales
Authors: Torres Alvarez Sebastian
Published: December 2021

En este artículo se estudia el caso de Cabo Pulmo, localidad ubicada en Baja California Sur, México, cuyos habitantes transitaron de una economía basada en la pesca y la extracción perlera a una sostenida por el ecoturismo. El objetivo fue analizar de qué manera dicho proceso estuvo influenciado por personas e instituciones multiescalares. El trabajo etnográfico consistió, en primera instancia, en conversaciones informales con habitantes de la localidad. Luego se aplicaron entrevistas en profundidad con tres personas, con la intención de obtener sus historias de vida. Para analizarlas, se emplea una propuesta metafórica basada en la figura del Uróboro. La investigación se acerca a un grupo social particular inserto en el mundo globalizado, a una crisis ambiental con una respuesta adaptativa y relaciones multiescalares articuladas para consolidar un proyecto ecoturístico y de defensa del territorio contra grandes proyectos turísticos, impulsando también cambios socioculturales. Se sugiere que este caso es un ejemplo concreto de la forma en que los procesos multiescalares pueden incidir en escenarios locales para impulsar respuestas adaptativas, un tema asociado a las discusiones y los retos del cambio climático.

Abstract

This article presents the case study of Cabo Pulmo, a town located in Baja California Sur, Mexico, which went from an economy based on fishing and pearl extraction to one sustained by ecotourism. The objective is to analyze how this process was influenced by people and multiscale institutions. The ethnographic work consisted, first, in informal conversations with local inhabitants, followed by the application of in-depth interviews with three people, to obtain their life stories. To analyze the results, a metaphorical proposal based on the figure of the Ouroboros is used. The investigation focuses on a specific social group inserted in the globalized world, an environmental crisis with an adaptive response and articulated multiscale relationships for the consolidation of an ecotourism project and the defense of the territory against large tourist projects, also promoting socio-cultural changes. This case is considered a concrete example of how multiscale processes can influence local scenarios to promote adaptive responses, a topic associated with the discussions and challenges of climate change.
Specific Features of Protection Against Computer-Aided Criminal Infringements on Cashless (Electronic) Funds in Contemporary Criminal Legislations of Belarus and Russia
Authors: Tretiak Maria
Published: December 2021

The dominance of a distance form of interactions in modern conditions resulted in an increase in operations with cashless (electronic) funds, which led to a growth of the number of acquisitive cybercrimes. The author examines criminal law measures of protecting cashless (electronic) funds against criminal infringements in the cybersphere and conducts legal analysis of regulations on acquisitive crimes against property and information security reflected in criminal legislations of Belarus and Russia. Special attention is paid to the characteristic features of protection measures against acquisitive cybercrimes involving cashless (electronic) funds in modern criminal legislations of Belarus and Russia. Current Belarus legislation differentiates criminal liability using unified criteria (method and property size) within the same corpus delicti of three crimes in Ch. 24 and 31 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus. In the Russian legislation, the differentiation of criminal liability is based on three criteria (size, type of money or method) within five corpora delicti in Ch. 21 and 28 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The author specifically states that the use of such a differentiation approach in determining liability for online theft of cashless money in the norms of Russian criminal law leads, firstly, to considerable difficulties in determining the forms and specific criteria of such theft and, secondly, to the application of more (or less) severe measures of punishment for identical crimes. Using a detailed comparative analysis of modern criminal legislations of Belarus and Russia regarding online criminal infringements against cashless (electronic) money, the author draws a conclusion on the use of regulations in the Russian law that would make it possible to fully take into account various specific features of online infringements on cashless (electronic) money and to apply unified criteria for the differentiation of criminal liability within one corpus delicti, for example, in the form of theft in the sphere of computer information whose modus operandi is thoroughly described in one of the norms on computer crimes in Art. 159.6 of the Criminal Code of Russia.
