Feature-Based Convolutional Neural Network for Very-high-resolution Urban Imagery Classification
Authors: Li Guoming , Tan Li , Liu Xin , Kan Aike
Published: June 2022

In the process of manual image interpretation, the use of a combination of spectral and spatial features can aid in more accurately classifying urban land coverage. In this study, to simulate this procedure, we use two concurrent convolutional neural networks (CNNs) with two scales
of input to represent fields of view corresponding to object detail and the related information among objects. In our approach, the results derived from every convolution process are retained and stacked together at the end of the convolution process. Thus, not only are the spectral and spatial
features combined, but all the scales of spatial features are also considered. When applied to very-high-resolution remote sensing images, our proposed model with its feature-based CNN achieves a noticeable improvement over other state-of-the-art methods, which helps to assess the urban environment
to some extent. In addition, we show that the digital surface model features, either in image form or in numerical characteristic form, can improve the overall accuracy rate of current structures.

Published: June 2022

Pineapple leaves are largely discarded in the harvest area and considered as agricultural waste. Herein, the extracted pineapple leaves fiber was altered with chelating agents to become an adsorbent for lead ions (Pb2+) removal from aqueous solutions. The initial investigation determined that the most appropriate conditions for extracting cellulose fiber from pineapple leaves were stirring at 90–100 °C in 10%w/v NaOH for 1 h. Next, carboxymethyl, amide, and amidoxime were used to modify with the extracted cellulose fiber, denoted as Cell-CMC, Cell-AM, and Cell-AMX, respectively. At pH 6, Cell-CMC, Cell-AM, Cell-AMX, and the extracted cellulose fiber had maximum adsorption potential values of 9.3, 1.5, 3.6, and 6.3 mg g–1, respectively. In the kinetic analysis, Cell-CMC, Cell-AM, and extracted cellulose adsorption behaviors were well represented using a model of pseudo 1st order, while the adsorption behavior of Cell-AMX was best represented using a model of pseudo 2nd order. Further investigation demonstrated that the desorption efficiency of each adsorbent increased as the pH value was lowered from 3, 4, and 6.

Meus amigos, todos nós, ortodontistas, sabemos das dificuldades para estabilizar uma mordida aberta após um tratamento ortodôntico bem-sucedido. As contenções tradicionais, placas de Hawley, com ou sem grade, pouco fazem para “segurar” os incisivos e caninos que, dependendo da mecânica utilizada, foram extruídos
Formato dos attachments e sua influência na movimentação com alinhadores: Parte I
Authors: Martins Renato Parsekian , Parizotto Juliana
Published: June 2022

O sucesso no tratamento com alinhadores não envolve somente um bom planejamento virtual, mas também um adequado conhecimento mecânico. Entretanto, o conhecimento clínico ortodôntico obtido com braquetes vestibulares não é suficiente para a compreensão completa da mecânica com alinhadores, incluindo o uso de attachments. Esse conhecimento é mandatório para movimentos complexos, como o de extrusão. O desenho dos attachments que são utilizados tem um papel importante na adaptação dos alinhadores e, combinado com a quantidade adequada de ativação, possibilita um tratamento previsível com alinhadores.

Published: June 2022

INTRODUÇÃO: Com o emprego da tecnologia CAD/CAM na Odontologia, a maneira de realizar o planejamento dos casos multidisciplinares tem mudado. OBJETIVO: Esse artigo visa exemplificar a aplicação do planejamento reverso multidisciplinar em um caso tratado com alinhadores estéticos, destacando-se a importância de o setup ortodôntico estar alinhado com o planejamento reabilitador. RELATO DE CASO: Paciente do sexo feminino, com 27 anos de idade, necessitando de tratamento ortodôntico com alinhadores estéticos como preparação para o tratamento reabilitador com Implantodontia e restaurações indiretas. O fluxo de trabalho iniciou-se com o escaneamento intrabucal e a aquisição de fotografias, para que, utilizando softwares com ferramentas de sobreposição de imagens, o dentista conseguisse realizar um planejamento virtual ideal para o sorriso da paciente. Esse planejamento do resultado final esperado foi, então, utilizado como referência para guiar o setup ortodôntico, para que estivesse de acordo com o tratamento reabilitador. Os alinhadores foram confeccionados dentro do consultório, por meio de impressão 3D, através da exportação dos arquivos gerados pelo planejamento virtual da Beyond Digital Solutions®, e estampados sob pressão, com equipamento adequado. RESULTADOS: Por meio da filosofia do planejamento reverso interdisciplinar, obteve-se um planejamento ideal, que gerou uma sequência de alinhadores estéticos para movimentar os dentes para uma posição de trabalho ideal para o tratamento reabilitador. CONCLUSÕES: O planejamento virtual reverso interdisciplinar foi fundamental para construir um projeto ideal do sorriso, que serviu de guia para o tratamento com alinhadores estéticos, sendo essa a opção ortodôntica mais adequada para replicar os movimentos dentários programados em softwares, comparada aos sistemas fixos convencionais.

Authors: Malinski Rúbia Furlan , Arruda Elcy Pinto de , Sautchuk Junior Rubens
Published: June 2022

OBJETIVO: O propósito do presente estudo é mostrar, por meio de um caso clínico, a movimentação dentária em direção à área de rebordo alveolar atrófico pela agenesia dos dentes #31, #32, #41 e #42, visando o restabelecimento ósseo em quantidade e qualidade suficientes para instalação de uma prótese implantossuportada. Esse procedimento é apoiado em princípios biológicos de movimentação dentária, pois, durante esse processo, o osso alveolar e o periodonto hígido acompanham o elemento dentário. A movimentação ortodôntica é uma alternativa à cirurgia de enxertia óssea. MÉTODOS: A mecânica ortodôntica foi executada com braquetes Edgewise slot 0,022”, com angulação individualizada na colagem. Foi realizada mecânica de deslizamento dos elementos #33 e #43. RESULTADOS: Houve movimentação mesial dos elementos e formação óssea na distal deles, o suficiente para instalação de implantes. CONCLUSÃO: Nesse caso clínico, foi possível movimentar o elemento dentário através do osso alveolar atrófico. Essa movimentação deixou um rastro de tecido ósseo com maior volume e altura, e com qualidade capaz de receber a reabilitação implantossuportada. Essa é uma alternativa eficaz para reabilitação óssea em casos de rebordo alveolar atrófico.
Efeitos inesperados dos contensores 3x3 modificados no desencadeamento da vestibularização e recessão gengival nos incisivos inferiores
Authors: Oliveira Giovana Romano de , Dias Debora Reis , Ramos Adilson Luiz , Hayacibara Roberto Masayuki
Published: June 2022

INTRODUÇÃO: A necessidade de colocação da contenção inferior após o tratamento ortodôntico está bem consolidada na literatura. Porém, contenções fixas estão sujeitas a falhas, mais prováveis de ocorrer na contenção modificada, devido ao seu maior comprimento. No entanto, não há na literatura trabalhos que relacionem tais falhas nas contenções modificadas com o comprometimento periodontal. Assim, o objetivo do presente artigo é descrever eventos indesejáveis, envolvendo a vestibularização da raiz e recessão gengival, em decorrência do uso da contenção 3 x 3 modificada. MÉTODOS: Esta série de casos baseou- -se em uma análise retrospectiva de prontuários, sendo selecionados 21 indivíduos que apresentavam contenção 3 x 3 modificada inferior associada à vestibularização da raiz e recessão gengival em pelo menos um incisivo. Para esse estudo, foram coletados dados relativos ao histórico da contenção, possível etiologia da ativação indesejada e dados clínicos, como o tamanho da recessão. RESULTADOS: Entre os 21 indivíduos, 25 dentes apresentaram recessões de comprimento médio (4,86 ± 1,36 mm), com maior ocorrência nos incisivos centrais inferiores (84%). A ativação da contenção foi causada por diferentes fatores, principalmente envolvendo posição inadequada ao recolar a contenção ou o descolamento precoce da resina devido à parafunção. CONCLUSÃO: Devido à etiologia multifatorial da ativação inesperada da contenção, é importante o monitoramento regular do dispositivo. Dentro das limitações do presente artigo, pôde-se verificar que a vestibularização da raiz e recessão gengival parecem ser intercorrências relacionadas à contenção 3 x 3 modificada.

Representation of Delinquent Juveniles (Yankee) in Japan in Two Japanese Movies
Authors: Unsriana Linda , Hariyanto Trifena Agatha
Published: June 2022

Yankee, which is a group of delinquent juveniles in Japan makes the society tend to focus only on the bad things they do. However, one of the interesting things about Yankee is that they stick to the concept of shuudan ishiki – the concept of group awareness that has been upheld by Japanese society for a long time. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the representation of Yankee in “Gokusen: The Movie” and “Drop”, from the appearance, behavioral, and group consciousness aspects. The method used in this study was an in-depth observation of the data corpus, then the analysis was carried out with the descriptive analysis method. To analyze the data, the theory of Sociology of Literature by Wellek & Warren and the theory of Representation by Stuart Hall were used. The shuudan ishiki concept was also used to analyze the behavior of the characters. The results showed that the appearance and behavior of students who become Yankees deviate from the customs, regulations, and norms that are applied in society. Other than that, the Yankee group in each movie has a high group awareness, which is portrayed by the loyalty and solidarity among the group members.

The article presents the study results of geoformation technology development trends within the framework of the economy digitalization. The authors considered the stages of geographic information system development in the world and in Russia. To meet the study’s aim, they carried out the analysis of GIS technology implementation and use in various sectors of the Russian economy. Plus, the analysis and synthesis, monographic, comparative analysis are taken into account. Based on the results obtained, it can be inferred that for the most part international indicators and indices assess the technical aspect of the digital economy formation and development, which is not entirely correct, given the fact that we cope with a tough complex phenomenon. It is associated with the process of social-economic institutions of society informatization, and the process of globalization leads to their transformation at the macro level. The assessment of digital technology implementation level in the country economy at the international level is not made according to individual indicators, which are considered in this study. Complex indicators are used for this, allowing, on the one hand, cover a number of indicators and give an overall assessment, but on the other hand, they do not take into account and level out the peculiarities and specifics of individual countries and types of activity development.

Effect of microstructure on tribocorrosion of FH36 low-temperature steels
Authors: Shi Liang , Huo Da , Lei Yanhua , Qu Shaopeng , Chang Xueting , Yin Yansheng
Published: June 2022

The tribocorrosion performance of low-temperature steels is vital for use in hostile environments. This study aims to investigate the tribocorrosion behavior of FH36 low-temperature steel with two distinct microstructures of tempered martensite (TM) and tempered sorbite (TS), respectively. Also, the coefficient of friction, surface morphologies, electrochemical properties, and corrosion features of the two steels were investigated. The results showed that the TM and TS steel exhibited outstanding impact toughness values of 239 and 306 J at −60°C, respectively. The friction coefficient and the electrochemical impedance in the TM steel were lower than those of the TS steel, while the scratch was deeper and narrower in the TM steel. Both the microstructure and the electrochemical corrosion affect the wear resistance of the low-temperature steels during the tribocorrosion process. The friction can accelerate the adsorption of Cl− ions that enrich the pits near the scratches, and the pitting of the TM steel was severe.

Resilience, a psychological individual difference variable, has not received adequate scholarly attention in education contexts. The present study investigated the resilience level among 273 university EFL learners in China with T.-Y. Kim and Kim’s (2017. The impact of resilience on L2 learners’ motivated behaviour and proficiency in L2 learning. Educational Studies 43(1). 1–15) scale, which comprised five sub-components of resilience in the Korean EFL context. Confirmatory factor analysis and reliability analysis showed that self-regulation, one sub-component identified in the Korean context, was also found in the factorial structure of resilience in the Chinese EFL context; accordingly, self-regulation was hypothesised to be a “Resilience Core” that can be found in different learning contexts. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that the selected sociobiographical variables (e.g., a global measure of multilingualism, GMM) affected resilience and “Resilience Core” to varying degrees; for example, L2 joy (ΔR
2 = 14.2–23.3%) and GMM (2.9–7.8%) emerged as important predictors for resilience because their minimum ΔR
2 exceeded the “typical” effect size benchmark (1%).

Published: June 2022

Objectives

An evaluation the effects of curcumin on inflammatory markers and lipid profiles among patients with chronic kidney diseases (CKD).

Methods

The electronic databases such as PubMed, and Scopus were searched systematically up until 12 December 2021. To evaluate the quality of the included studies, the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomized trials was utilized. Likewise, data pooling was performed using a random effects model, also called a variance components model. Also, the findings were calculated as weighted mean difference (WMD) with a 95% confidence interval (CI).

Results

In the end, this meta-analysis comprised a total number of nine studies. Curcumin intake significantly reduced total cholesterol (TC) (WMD=−13.77 mg/dL; 95% CI, −26.77, −0.77; p=0.04) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) (WMD=−18.87 pg/mL; 95% CI, −28.36, −9.38; p<0.001) compared with controls. The results did not confirm the significant effect of curcumin intake on triglyceride (TG) (WMD=−6.37 mg/dL; 95% CI, −26.59, 13.85; p=0.54), low-density lipoproteins (LDL-C) (WMD=−5.65 mg/dL; 95% CI, −20.81, 9.50; p=0.46), high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C) (WMD=0.16 mg/dL; 95% CI, −2.55, 2.88; p=0.91), and C-reactive protein (CRP) (WMD=−0.13 mg/L; 95% CI, −3.25, 3.30; p=0.93).

Conclusions

Our study showed that curcumin significantly impacts TC and TNF levels in CKD patients.

There are flow research centers on magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) emission of auxiliary liquid in an extended region. The prevailing model is constrained by attractions/infusion and gooey release. The administering model is based on the Koo–Kleinstreuer–Li nanofluid model in the existence of entropy generation. Final requirements of this model are addressed by implementing the shooting strategy, which incorporates a fourth approach for the Runge–Kutta strategy. Into the bargain, the last adds (in standard ordinary differential equations (ODE) divisions) are obtained from the measurable controls partial differential equations, which were represented toward the start of the overseeing model. The varieties for all boundaries are exhibited through graphical arrangements. It is noticed that expanding the substantial volume portion diminishes speed but builds nuclear power dispersion. Likewise, the classification of mathematical qualities on divider heat move rate and skin contact is introduced. Both Reynolds and Brinkman numbers improve the entropy rate of the thermal system resulting in the growth effects of inertial forces and the surface heat dissipation, respectively.

This article presents the typological analogies between two scenes from the temple of Dakka in Lower Nubia representing the Theban triad in its forms of Amun-Re of Abaton, Mut of Isheru and Chonsu m Wȝst Nfr-ḥtp. The unparalleled use in these scenes of an epithet of the god Chonsu in relation to the diospolite region (Seventh nome of Upper Egypt), restored through Richard Lepsius’ handwritten copy of the scene located in the pronaos of the temple, allows us to witness the theological synthesis in Dakka between Theban Chonsu and Neferhotep from Hu. An analysis of the late documentation, mainly from Karnak, allows us to testify to the direct theological connections between these divinities and their various thematic analogies.

Most of the transition metal ions are toxic and their removal from water is important. For this purpose, nearly monodisperse spherical core shell microgel particles with diameter of 88 ± 3 nm have been synthesized by free radical precipitation polymerization method and characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Extraction of copper ions from water under several conditions of pH, copper ions content and core shell microgel concentrations was undertaken. Several adsorption isotherms were tested to explore the process of adsorption of copper ions on the microgel particles. Kinetics of adsorption process was examined by pseudo first order, pseudo second order, intra-particle diffusion and Elovich models. Copper ions adsorbed in shell region of core shell microgel were reduced to copper nanoparticles. The hybrid microgel was used to reduce organic pollutants such as 4-nitrophenol (4NP), methylene blue (MB), and methyl orange (MO) in aqueous medium. The value of pseudo first order rate constant for catalytic reduction of 4NP, MB, and MO was found 0.602, 0.831, and 0.874 min−1 respectively. The resultant core shell hybrid microgel system can serve as efficient catalyst for numerous other organic transformations.

This study examined psychosocial and health needs of persons living with HIV (PLWH) in Russia. The study combined baseline datasets from two social network samples of PLWH in St. Petersburg (N = 872). Samples were recruited between 2014 and 2018 by enrolling a PLWH seed who was either out-of-care or treatment nonadherent as well as network members surrounding each seed, assessing each participant's HIV care, transmission risk, substance use, and mental health characteristics. Almost one-quarter of participants said they were never offered antiretroviral therapy (ART), and—among those offered ART—one-quarter refused or discontinued therapy and 45% were <95% ART-adherent. Almost half of participants had detectable viral load, and many reported continued condomless intercourse with potentially nonconcordant serostatus partners or needle sharing. Over 46% of participants had elevated scores on measures of depression, hopelessness, state anxiety, or poor social support. Study findings illustrate unmet needs of PLWH in Russia.

A recent article published in the Journal of Personality Disorders (López-Romero et al., 2021) described the identification of “putative psychopathic personality” in a school cohort of 3-6-year-old children from Spain. This comment offers cautionary considerations of the original article on scientific grounds and critical comments on policy grounds. We caution researchers, policymakers, attorneys, judges, and the general public about the dangers of using this label given present knowledge about the antecedents, early indicators, and stability of the adult disorder of psychopathic personality when assessed in childhood.
Transdiagnostic Associations With Interpersonal and Affective Variability in Borderline Personality Pathology
Authors: Ringwald Whitney R. , Hallquist Michael N. , Y. Dombrovski Alexandre , Wright Aidan G. C.
Published: June 2022

Emotional and behavioral variability are unifying characteristics of borderline personality disorder (BPD). Ambulatory assessment (AA) has been used to quantify this variability in terms of the categorical BPD diagnosis, but evidence suggests that BPD instead reflects general personality pathology. This study aimed to clarify the conceptualization of BPD by mapping indices of variability in affect, interpersonal behavior, and perceptions of others onto general and specific dimensions of personality pathology. A sample of participants who met diagnostic criteria for BPD (n = 129) and healthy controls (n = 47) reported on their daily interactions during a 21-day AA protocol. Multilevel SEM was used to examine associations between shared and specific variance in maladaptive traits with dynamic patterns of functioning. The authors found that variability is an indicator of shared trait variance and Negative Affectivity, not any other specific traits, reinforcing the idea that BPD is best understood as general personality pathology.

Despite priorities around mental health, Veteran health care organizations have historically considered personality disorders to be preexisting conditions ineligible for disability benefits. However, growing evidence suggests potentially elevated prevalence of these disorders among military and Veteran samples and attests to implications of risk. The current study provides a meta-analytic review of literature on the prevalence of personality disorders in Veteran samples. Analysis of 27 unique samples, comprising 7,161 Veterans, suggests alarmingly high rates of Veteran personality disorders. Prevalence was highest for paranoid (23%) and borderline (21%) personality disorders and lowest for histrionic (0.8%) personality disorder. Rates were generally highest among Veterans experiencing substance use or elevated suicide risk and among studies establishing diagnoses through clinical interview (versus official medical record review). Results attest to the need for Veteran health care organizations to acknowledge personality disorders in this population, through both research and treatment, and to consider reclassifying personality disorders as potential “service-connected conditions.”
Festering: Mini-moments
Authors: Eigen Michael
Published: June 2022

Moment-to-moment dialogue between analyst and patient opens themes relating to psychic depths, inhibitions, and support for a need to grow. The therapy partners grow together as they engage psychic contact and explore elements that previously forced the patient to be hospitalized. A result is appreciation for ways contact with the depths can aid more playful, caring, and resourceful ways of being together and working with oneself.
Happy = Human: A Feeling of Belonging Modulates the “Expression-to-Mind” Effect
Authors: Saito Toshiki , Almaraz Steven M. , Hugenberg Kurt
Published: June 2022

Past research has demonstrated a link between facial expressions and mind perception, yet why expressions, especially happy expressions, influence mind attribution remains unclear. Conducting four studies, we addressed this issue. In Study 1, we investigated whether the valence or behavioral intention (i.e., approach or avoidance) implied by different emotions affected the minds ascribed to expressers. Happy (positive valence and approach intention) targets were ascribed more sophisticated minds than were targets displaying neutral, angry (negative-approach), or fearful (negative-avoidance) expressions, suggesting emotional valence was relevant to mind attribution but apparent behavioral intentions were not. We replicated this effect using both Black and White targets (Study 2) and another face database (Study 3). In Study 4, we conducted path analyses to examine attractiveness and expectations of social acceptance as potential mediators of the effect. Our findings suggest that signals of social acceptance are crucial to the effect emotional expressions have on mind perception.
Inversion Reduces Sensitivity to Complex Emotions in Eye Regions

Inferring humans’ complex emotions is challenging but can be done with surprisingly limited emotion signals, including merely the eyes alone. Here, we test for a role of lower-level perceptual processes involved in such sensitivity using the well-validated Reading the Mind in the Eyes task. Over three experiments, we manipulated configural processing to show that it contributes to sensitivity to complex emotion from human eye regions. Specifically, inversion, a well-established manipulation affecting configural processing, undermined sensitivity to complex emotions in eye regions (Experiments 1-3). Inversion extended to undermine sensitivity to nonmentalistic information from human eye regions (gender; Experiment 2) but did not extend to affect sensitivity to attributes of nonhuman animals (Experiment 3). Taken together, the current findings provide evidence for the novel hypothesis that configural processing facilitates sensitivity to complex emotions conveyed by the eyes via the broader extraction of socially relevant information.
Utjecaj rada državne revizije na razinu transparentnosti političkih stranaka
Authors: Čular Marko
Published: June 2022

Rad državne revizije je od ključnog interesa šire javnosti jer državni revizori revidiraju subjekte koji upravljaju javnom imovinom. Glavni ciljevi državnih revizora su povećanje transparentnosti i efikasnije trošenje sredstava proračuna, stoga je državna revizija sastavni dio svakog demokratskog sustava. Istinitost i vjerodostojnost financijskih izvještaja te usklađenost poslovanja političkih stranaka koju potvrđuju državni revizori su zasigurno jedan od vodećih interesa širejavnosti. Državni ured za reviziju, kao vrhovna revizijska institucija u Hrvatskoj, je dužna provesti reviziju političkih stranaka za one koje imaju prihod veći od 100.000 kuna. Istraživanje je usmjereno na analizu rada državne revizije političkih stranaka za 2019. godinu, koja obuhvaća 20 parlamentarnih i 24 izvan parlamentarnih političkih stranaka. Predmet državne revizije su financijski izvještaji iusklađenost poslovanja političkih stranaka. Analizom pojedinačnih izvješća državne revizije o radu političkih stranaka utvrđene su brojne nepravilnosti u području djelokruga i unutarnjeg ustrojstva, sustava unutarnjih kontrola, planiranja, računovodstvenog poslovanja, financijskih izvještaja, prihoda, rashoda, imovine, obveza i vlastitih izvora te zabrane financiranja i pogodovanja. Državni revizori su kod 39% političkih stranaka dali uvjetno mišljenje. Preporuke i upute koje su dali državni revizori iz prethodnih razdoblja pokazali su da političke stranke u većoj mjeri provode date preporuke te da rad državne revizije utječe na transparentnost političkih stranaka.
Accidental exposure to glimepiride from adulterated medication resulting in severe hypoglycaemia

Published: June 2022

Sulphonylureas are insulinotropic and are not only useful in patients with diabetes but also act in non-diabetic individuals where hypoglycaemia and hyperinsulinism mimic insulinoma. We present a 63-year-old man who presented with inadvertent sulphonylurea-induced life-threatening hypoglycaemia on two occasions, resulting in hazardous and invasive investigation. Biochemistry revealed endogenous hyperinsulinaemia, with elevated serum c-peptide and insulin concentrations during symptomatic hypoglycaemia, and plasma glucose of 1.7 mmol/L. There was no history of sulphonylurea use prompting anatomical insulinoma studies to locate an insulinoma. However, a routine plasma insulinoma screen-detected glimepiride. Directed history implicated a medication taken for erectile dysfunction prior to disturbed consciousness, with alcohol. The tablets, obtained online, were analysed by mass spectrometry and contained tadalafil and dapoxetine as advertised but also contained glimepiride.

Learning points

Symptomatic unexplained hypoglycaemia requires investigation with plasma glucose level, c-peptide, insulin level, pro-insulin, beta-hydroxybutyrate, and a sulphonylurea screen regardless of known exposure to sulphonylureas.

Consider contamination of alternative or undisclosed medication, including PDE-5 inhibitor erectile dysfunction drugs.

Concomitant alcohol may impair glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis, exacerbating hypoglycaemia.
Interaction between the staff of the Council for the Russian Orthodox Church and the state security organs in the period of 1943–1953
Authors: Bartenev Grigory
Published: June 2022

This article is devoted to the analysis of the relationship between employees of the state security organs (NKVD, NKGB, MGB of the USSR) with members and authorizeds of the Council for the Affairs of the Russian Orthodox Church in the first ten years from the beginning of the Council's existence. The study of this problem was carried out on the basis of the archival documents of the Council for the specified period and made it possible to show the process of forming state policy in relation to the ROC, implemented through the two above-mentioned departments, as well as the difference in the approaches of these departments to church policy. Various types of interaction between employees of the two departments and the stages of development of state policy in relation to the Church in the designated period are revealed. Such periods were the initial period of the Council's work until the Local Council of 1945, when the church policy of the state, carried out through the Council, was perceived as a temporary phenomenon, and there was a division of spheres of influence between the Council and the state security organs in the church issue. The next period ended with a change in the leadership of the MGB in 1946 and was characterized by the implementation of the planned church policy of the state through the Council, whose head G.G. Karpov was formally subordinate to the head of the MGB V.N. Merkulov. After the appointment to the post of Minister V.S. Abakumov and the dismissal of Karpov from the MGB in 1947, the stage of the formation of a new, tougher line in the policy of the state towards the Church began, in which the state security organs played the main role. The events of the "Saratov baptistery" at the beginning of 1949 became an obvious moment of the change in state policy on the church issue. From that moment on, the fourth stage of the tightening of state policy towards the Church began, which continued, despite the arrest of Abakumov and the death of Stalin, until the end of the period under review.
The older women in the Early Church
Authors: Posternak Andrey
Published: June 2022

The article contains the analysis of the term «the older women» (πρεσβύτιδες, presbyterae) in the Early Christian Greek-speaking and Latin traditions. In Eastern communities the older women have been honored since apostolic times for their pious life and advanced age, which brought them closer to the position of church widows. Perhaps the old women and widows in general represented one order of women who received material assistance from the Church, catechized young women, prepared them for baptism. The name of the older women «presbytides» did not become, unlike the concepts of «deaconesses» and «widows», the designation of women’s institutional ministry although there was a tendency to this, as it was evidenced by the controversial 11th canon of the Laodicean Council. In the Early Church women’s ministry was considered as a whole one, but in the areas it was called differently as the min-istry of the older women, widows and deaconesses. That is, it was outside the established terminology, also because it was not closely connected with the liturgical functions of women. It is not completely clear what women’s ministry in Western communities was, since in cases which we are talking about older women («presbyterae»), early medieval Western authors have already definitively confirmed that this was either the wife of a presbyter, or a woman of a strict lifestyle, in fact a religious who watched over the order and cleanliness in the church, as well as baked wafers for Communion. The evolution of wom-en’s ministry in the Church, primarily in its western part, demonstrated the impossibility of its further institutionalization and convergence with liturgical ministry.
The relationship between the sees of Rome, Thessalonica and Constantinople in the context of the development of synodal institutions in the first half of the 5th century
Authors: Zakharov Georgy
Published: June 2022

This paper is devoted to the problem of the development of the church organization of the super-provincial level in the Balkan region and to the influence of the Roman and Constantinople Sees on this process. According to the author, the law of emperor Theodosius II, concerning church affairs in Illyricum (421), did not imply the liquidation of the vicariate of Thessalonica created by the Roman see and the transfer of this region to the jurisdiction of Constantinople. It was about endowing the Constantinopolitan see with the function of an alternative judicial instance (along with the see of Thessalonica), which was justified by the status of Constantinople as the New Rome. The protest of Pope Boniface I and the western emperor Honorius against this decision, apparently, led to the fact that the status quo remained in Illyricum. Nevertheless, this law was included in the Code of Theodosius. It is also possible that, along with the diocese of the Orient, Illyricum was meant as the sphere of implementation of the 9th and 17th canons of the Council of Chalcedon (451), which prescribe, in the case of litigation with the participation of the metropolitan, to apply for a trial to the exarch of the diocese or to the Constantinopolitan see. This rule, apparently, was associated with the existence in Constantinople of a "permanent synod", the organization of which did not require significant costs and efforts, in contrast to the synods of dioceses.
