Published: September 2018

Men who have sex with men (MSM) disproportionately experience childhood sexual abuse (CSA) compared with heterosexual men, often resulting in continued trauma-related sequelae, including symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) such as avoidance. The variability in trauma-related sequelae may be associated with chronicity or duration of CSA. The relationship between duration of CSA and later PTSD symptom severity is not well understood, including the extent coping strategies account for these relationships. We used linear regression to examine these relationships and to assess the indirect effects of avoidance (behavioral disengagement and denial) and adaptive coping strategies on the relationship between CSA duration and adult PTSD symptom severity on a diverse sample included 290 MSM with a history of CSA. In adjusted models, CSA duration was significantly associated with adult PTSD symptom severity (standardized β = .23, p < .000) and with avoidance coping (standardized β = .19, p = .002). Separating this out, behavioral disengagement was significantly associated with CSA duration (standardized β = .20, p = .001) but denial was not. In adjusted analyses assessing indirect effects, avoidance coping partially accounted for the relationship between CSA duration and total trauma symptom severity (standardized β reduced from .23 to .17; Sobel = 2.90, p = .004). Similarly, behavioral disengagement partially accounted for the association between CSA duration and total symptoms (standardized β reduced from .23 to .18; Sobel = 2.68, p = .007). Avoidance coping, and behavioral disengagement specifically, may play a role in the severity of PTSD symptoms experienced by MSM with CSA histories. This work emphasizes the need for clinicians to consider behavioral disengagement in understanding PTSD symptom severity among MSM with histories of CSA.
Fear and Distrust Within the Canadian Welfare System: Experiences of People With Mental Illness
Authors: Gewurtz Rebecca E. , Lahey Pamela , Cook Katie , Kirsh Bonnie , Lysaght Rosemary , Wilton Robert
Published: September 2018

While experiences of fear and distrust have been documented as a part of recipients’ interactions with disability benefits, there have been few attempts to explore how they are shaped by system features and their impact on employment pursuits. The purpose of this article is to unpack how fear and distrust emerge among people with mental illness who have recently entered the welfare system. Using an interpretative qualitative approach, the authors draw on the findings from 69 in-depth interviews with key stakeholders about their experiences with employment. Stakeholders included recipients, welfare program and policy staff, and service providers in the community. Data were analyzed by exploring similarities and differences across perspectives and contexts. The findings highlight how system features shape and perpetuate fear and distrust through poorly communicating information about the system, a chaotic state of constant change and complexity, a lack of attention to building trusting relationships between caseworkers and recipients, ongoing system errors, and excessive reporting requirements. The impact of the current state of affairs is significantly harmful to recipients, especially those living with mental illness. Our findings also highlight a possible way forward by building trusting relationships and finding ways to improve communication channels.
The Affective Circle of Harassment and Enchantment: Reflections on the ŌURA Ring as an Intimate Research Device
Authors: Salmela Tarja , Valtonen Anu , Lupton Deborah
Published: September 2018

New digital devices monitoring the body are increasingly used as research devices. As highly intimate new media objects, placed next to our skin, they challenge our notions of privacy and contribute to the generation of affects—disrupting considerations of “successful” research. In this article, we offer an auto-ethnographic study of (not) using a wearable sleep-tracking device, the ŌURA smart ring, as a research device. We discuss the unexpected, intense affects we experienced when attempting to use the ring during a “failed” research process, feeling enchanted and harassed by it in turn. Reflecting on our affects enables us to identify different forms of intimacy: those related to disrupting the bodily norms of academia, and those disrupting the privacy of the sleeping body. To conclude, we discuss the potential of these disruptions to offer a better understanding of the significant role of the thing-power of research devices in qualitative research process.
Media definitely do matter: Brexit, immigration, climate change and beyond
Authors: Gavin Neil T
Published: September 2018

The notion that the media’s principal role regarding public opinion is reinforcement of pre-existing attitudes – and that this idea is relative inconsequential politically – is pervasive, across many political and social science sub-disciplines, and in non-academic commentary. This article comprehensively challenges the evidential and theoretical underpinnings of this thesis, drawing on a wealth of contemporary survey data and media coverage research, across a range of issues, including climate change, Brexit, immigration, the economy and benefit fraud. It also argues that ‘reinforcement’ is an important and consequential power, and that the processes involved have significant implications for public misperception of salient political issues. It makes the case that the media create attitudinal uncertainty, and can have pervasive but subtle influences on political attitudes, particularly when there are persistent patterns of coverage across a range of media. But also that in contexts like particularly close political contests, such influences can be decidedly consequential.
Islamic Crash Course as a Leadership Strategy of School Principals in Strengthening School Organizational Culture
Authors: Arifin Imron , Juharyanto  , Mustiningsih  , Taufiq Ahmad
Published: September 2018

This study aimed to describe nyantri (Islamic crash course) program as a leadership strategy adopted by school principals in strengthening the school organizational culture. This study used a qualitative approach via theoretical phenomenology orientation and a multicase design. The data collection was done through observation, documentation, and in-depth interviews. The validity of the data was measured by data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. The results of this study found three models of Islamic crash course performed: tashih, that is, Al-Qur’an reading competence, taushiyah (Islamic lecture) of leadership values, and apprenticeship for the application of a santri’s (Islamic crash course student) character values. The benefits for the teachers are the preservation of their Al-Qur’an reading competence and the improved intensity of the leadership and application of Islamic values, which form the school organizational culture. An integration of values rooted from the three models into the institutional vision could strengthen the school organizational culture to improve school achievement.

Deteksi Krisis Keuangan di Indonesia Berdasarkan Indikator Nilai Tukar Riil Menggunakan Model SWARCH (2,3)
Authors: Sugiyanto Sugiyanto , Zukhronah Etik , Retnosari Dewi
Published: September 2018

The financial crisis that hit Asia in mid-1997 began with the financial crisis in Thailand which then spread to Indonesia. The impact of the financial crisis in Indonesia is so severe that a crisis detection system is needed. The financial crisis detection system can be done by simple monitoring of macroeconomic indicators such as real exchange rate. Excessive real exchange rate is predicted to have a great chance of crisis.
The result shows that the real exchange rate from January 1990 to June 2013 has heteroscedasticity effect and there are structural changes so it can be modeled using SWARCH model (2,3) with ARMA (1.0) as conditional average model and ARCH (3) as model conditional variance. The inferred probabilities value of the SWARCH (2,3) model in February 1998 of 1 and July 1998 of 0.9968 over 0.5 indicates that the period is in a high volatile condition indicating a crisis. The SWARCH model (2.3) based on the real exchange rate indicator was able to capture the high volatile conditions in February 1998 and July 1998 as the impact of the 1997 Asian financial crisis.

Penerapan Model Geographically Weighted Regression(GWR) Pada Produksi Ubi Jalar
Authors: Susanti Yuliana
Published: September 2018

Sweet potatoes are a major source of carbohydrate, after rice, corn, and cassava. Sweet potato is consumed as an additional or side meal, except in Irian Jaya and Maluku, sweet potato is used as staple food. The main problem faced in increasing sweet potato production is still relies on certain areas, namely Java Island, as the main producer of sweet potato. Differences in production is what often causes the needs of sweet potato in various regions can not be fulfilled and there is a difference price of sweet potato. To fulfill the needs of sweet potato in Java, mapping areas of sweet potato production need to be made so that areas with potential for producing sweet potato can be developed while areas with insufficient quantities of sweet potato production may be given special attention. Due to differences in production in some areas of Java which depend on soil conditions, altitude, rainfall and temperatures, a model of sweet potato production will be developed using the GWR model. Based on the Geographically weighted regression model for each regencies / cities in Java Island, it can be concluded that the largest sweet potato production coming from Kuningan with R2 equal 99.86%.

Understanding social exclusion: the views of the UK public
Authors: Fahmy Eldin , Sutton Eileen , Pemberton Simon
Published: September 2018

Despite considerable policy interest, how the public understand and respond to the concept of social exclusion is not well understood within academic social research. Involving the public in such debates is important in establishing the political acceptability of social scientific concepts and in ensuring that operational definitions and measures faithfully reflect lived experiences. This paper draws on qualitative development work preparatory to the 2012 UK Poverty and Social Exclusion Survey in examining public understandings of what it means to experience social exclusion in the UK today. Our findings demonstrate the feasibility and desirability of including the public in policy debates in this area.

Published: September 2018

The length compositions of Stolephorus heterolobus, Stolephorus insularis and Stolephorus  pseudoheterolobus  were observed. S. heterolobus ranged from 25 to 71 mm., S. insularis from 27 to 75 mm and S. pseudoheterolobus from 27 to 67 mm standard length. The  ages  of these  three  species  were estimated. The  asymptotic  length  of S. heterolobus was 97 mm attained at the age of 26 months, S. insularis 86 mm at 26 months and S. pseudohetorolobus 88 mm at 20 months. The highest growth rate of S. heterolobus was at the size group 30 - 80 mm standard length, that of S. insularis was at 30-50  mm, and that of S. insularis was observed to be the lowest. The stomach contents of S. heterolobus and S. pseudoheterolobus   were studied tand were found that the food  of these two  species  was  more or  less the  same. They fed mainly on zooplankton consisting of copepods and other crustaceans.

COMPARISONS OF ESTUARINE MANAGEMENT NEEDS OF A TROPICAL PACIFIC MEXICAN HARBOUR AND A TEMPERATE CALIFORNIA HARBOUR
Authors: Soule Dorothy F. , Morris Penny A. , Soule John D.
Published: September 2018

Two areas of the eastern Pacific are compared, the southern California wetlands south of Point Conception and Mazatlan, Mexico. The historical development of both areas is important in considering their present biological status. Southern California has been subjected to intensive population growth and urbanization while Mazatlan has remained relatively unchanged. Both areas are compared biologically in regards to the fish population, thermal gradients in the harbors, salinity, nitrate, nitrite and phosphate distributions. The economic importance of the harbors is recognized, however it is essential that measures are taken to restore or retain existing wetlands that are associated with the harbors. The harbors can serve as shelters for various organisms if water quality can either be maintained (as in the case of Mazatlan) or improved, and if input of toxic and excessive nutrients is limited.
THE LEIOGNATHIDAE (TELEOSTS): AN HYPOTHESIS RELATING THEIR MEAN DEPTH OCCURRENCE TO THE INTENSITY OF THEIR COUNTERSHADING BIOLUMINESCENCE
Authors: Pauly Daniel
Published: September 2018

All species belonging to the Family Leiognathidae (genera Leiognathus, Secutor & Gazza) are bioluminescent. They emit during daytime a downward, diffuse light which tends to disrupt their silhouette, making them less discernible from beneath to potential predators. It is here assumed that the intensity of light emitted should correspond to the intensity of incident light at the depth at which each species generally occurs. Using published information on the relative intensity of emitted light in different species and quantitative data on the mean depth occurrence of the species, it is shown that there is a good correspondance in the ranking order of both light intensity and depth occurrence in five species (e.g. Secutor ruconius emits a strong light and occurs in shallow water; Leiognathus elongatus emits a weak light and occurs at greater depth). Species not fitting into this pattern (e.g. Leiognathus splendens emits a weak light but occurs in very shallow water) tend to occur in murky water, where less light is required for counterillumination.
BIOLOGICAL STUDIES ON THE ANCHOVY, THRYSSA GAUTAMIENSIS BABU RAO (PISCES: ENGRAULIDAE)
Authors: Rao M. Babu
Published: September 2018

Biology of the anchovy, Thryssa gautamiensis BABU RAO, which forms a fishery in the Godavari estuary (East Coast of India) was studied for the three seasons, i.e. 1959-60, 1960-61 and 196162. The population pattern was studied during the three seasons by means of montly percentage length frequency curves and fitting normal curves. Length weight studies were made for the three seasons, the best fit equations to express the relationship have been calculated and differences of relationships within seasons have been tested. Relative condition ('Kn') variation studies have been made for the different length groups of the fish for the two sexes. The variations of fecundity in relation to length and weight of fish respectively were studied and the equation to express their relationships have been established. The spawning season and the sizes, of ova at different stages of maturity have been determined by means of ova diameter measurement studies. The food preferences of this species have been ascertained by studying the gut contents and their item wise percentage frequencies in different months.
PREDICTION OF SOUTHERN OSCILLATION USING THE INDONESIAN THROUGHFLOW VARIABILITY
Authors: Aldrian Edvin , Arifian Jon
Published: September 2018

Atmospheric boundary layer derived from NCEP/NCAR reanalyses for the period of 1974 to 2002 has been used as boundary forcings for the global ocean model Max Planck Institute Ocean Model (MPIOM). The ocean model is a curvilinear grid model, whose poles are located over mainland China and over the Australian continent, thus focusing on the maritime continent. The model simulates major Indonesian throughflow passages that focus on six cannels representing three inlets and three outlets (the Makassar, Lifamatola, Halmahera, Lombok, Ombai and Timor Straits). The model results have been validated using the Arlindo observation Project over the Makassar Strait in the period of January 1997 to February 1998, which fortunately was during a strong El Niño episode. The model simulation results were then investigated for their prediction capabilities of any of those channels in foreseeing the incoming southern oscillation events. Temporal correlation analysis with lag and advance time correlation methods were performed against simulated data at all levels on those channels. Variabilities in depth of 74 to 200m (thermocline depth) show the strongest correlation with SOI index (Darwin minus Tahiti mean sea level pressure). The temperature and salinity correlations with SOI are the highest with one-month in advance over Lifamatola Strait (0.77) and two-month in advance over the Makassar Straits (0.74). These significant correlations highlight the important of those two straits in prediction of incoming southern oscillation that usually leads to ENSO episode which brings most of the time devastating impact to economy, agriculture and ecosystem.

Published: September 2018

We evaluated the effectiveness of vitamin C and Aeromonas salmonicida vaccine in grouper (Epinephelus fuscoguttatus) for increasing immune responses and protection against A .salmonicida. The vitamin C used was polyethoxylated ascorbic and tocopherol. The vaccine was prepared from formalin-killed cells and concentrated extracellular products of a single isolate A. salmonicida. Bath immersion vitamin C and vaccine trials were conducted for 60 min. Fish used had a mean weight 25 g. Control groupers were injected with tryptic soy broth. The results showed that vitamin C enhanced phagocytic activity in head kidney leucocytes of grouper 7, 14, 28 and 36 days after treatments. A significant different of the antibody titre was found between control fish and the treated fish at 42 days after treatments. In addition, at day 42, Relative Percent Survival (RPS) for control group was 53.3 %, vitamin C-treated group was 80.0 % and vaccinated group was 90.0 %. The results of this study suggest that bath immersion of vitamin C provided an increasing of phagocytic activity (non-specific immune responses), titre antibody (specific immune responses) and protection against A. salmonicida infection in grouper. A. salmonicida vaccine also en-hanced titre antibody and protection against A. salmonicida infection in grouper.

Published: September 2018

During a marine field survey in Raja Ampat as part of Ekspedisi Widya Nusantara (E-win), 21 scientists, studied the area's cryptic biota on coral reefs and in marine lakes. Cryptic species lead hidden lives due to their small size, successful camouflage or mimicry, or because they live in habitats that are easily overlooked or hard to access. Hundreds of species were sampled, many of which still have to be identified. The species richness of Raja Ampat appears to be very high, even among other areas within the centre of maximum marine biodiversity, the so-called Coral Triangle.
OVERVIEW OF THE SUCCESSFUL CORAL REEF MANAGEMENT IN INDONESIA
Authors: Suharsono -
Published: September 2018

Indonesia is the largest archipelagic country in the world, composed of 18,110 islands with a coastline of 108,900 km long, extending some 5000 km long and 2000 km wide located between Asia and Australia. Coral reefs have important meaning and value for the coastal communities in term of economic, social, and cultural conditions. About 1.5 million people are traditional fishermen who live in subsistence level and depend on their lives fully on coral reefs' resources. The Indonesian coral reef contributed 14% of the world, distributed unevenly from Sabang to Merauke with the highest concentration around Sulawesi and Maluku. The species richness and the biodiversity of the Indonesian corals amounted to 590 species belonging to 82 genera or about 80% of the currently existing coral species in the world. Monitoring program has been done from 1993 to 2010 and it shows the trend of improvement in the term of live coral cover. The condition of coral reefs in Indonesia taken from 84 locations and 1048 sites were 50.54% in excellent condition, 26.72% in good condition, 37.21% in fair condition, and 30.82% in bad condition. Improving trends in live coral cover across all project sites shows that the live coral covers has increased in all monitored sites across all project districts with average yearly live coral coverage increase is about 2-5%. The National Policy, Strategy, and Action Plan was established, with its main objective of managing the coral reef ecosystems based on the balance between conservation and utilization, and it was reflected in the Law No. 27 of 2007 concerning coastal management and small islands. The most remarkable result of the program is community awareness, namely the decrease of fishing activities shows that the destructive fishing activities in all project district are now non-existent of at a minimal level. A special text books on marine lives for elementary, secondary, and high school is the most widely adopted by local education service as a book of local content. Whereas institutional strengthening program constitutes the most difficult, energy and time consuming activities. It is due to the rivaly between the local institution and the lac of officials' and the communities' knowledge on the conservation based management principle.
INVESTIGATION OF THE COASTALLY TRAPPED WAVES IN THE SOUTH OF INDONESIAN ARCHIPELAGO
Authors: Napitupulu Asmi Marintan , Pujiana Kandaga , Priono Bayu
Published: September 2018

Analysis of sea level data derived from Jason-1 altimetry satellite reveals the basic characteristics of a coastally trapped wave along the waveguide in the south of Indonesian archipelago. The most robust signatures of the trapped wave are recorded recurrently in the months of May-June. Hovmoller and coherence analysis synonymously agree that the wave propagates at a speed of 2.8-2.9 m/s towards the eastern end of the waveguide. The trapped wave is dependent upon the stratification regime, and a Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) analysis on the stratification profile inferred from several CTD casts indicates that the trapped wave may be classified as a first mode baroclinic wave.
TRANSPLANTING ENHALUS ACOROIDES (L.F) ROYLE WITH DIFFERENT LENGTH RHIZOME ON THE MUDDY SUBSTRATE AND HIGH WATER DYNAMIC AT BANTEN BAY, INDONESIA
Authors: Kiswara Wawan , Kumoro Erlangga Dwi , Kawaroe Mujizat , Rahadian Nana P.
Published: September 2018

This study is a part of transplanting Enhalus acoroides carried out from November 2006 to February 2007 as a compensation of 1.6 ha loss of seagrass beds at Bojonegara, which was facilitated by NGO Rekonvasi Bhumi and funded by oil drilling company, PT Apexindo. The transplanting site was located at Terate, Banten Bay which has muddy substrate with high water dynamic. Healthy transplant seedlings were collected from monospecific vegetation with muddy substrate of donor site at Kepuh. The seedlings of Enhalus have different length of rhizome, 5 and 10 cm, with leaf length of 60 cm and removed roots. Transplanting of Enhalus acoroides was conducted using single shoot seedlings with 9 seedlings per unit in 1 meter square with 5 replicates. Light coefficient (1.17-5.06) and percentage of silt and clay (86.45 ± 2.18 %) at transplant site Terate were both higher than the donor site Kepuh with light coefficient values of 1.21-2.46 and percentage of silt and clay 64.00 ± 5.57 %, respectively. Seedling growth survival of Enhalus acoroides in February 2007 with rhizome length of 10 cm was higher (51.11 ± 25.58%) than seedlings with rhizome length of 5 cm (17.78 ± 18.59%). Leaf length and wide Enhalus acoroides transplants decreased during the study. Water dynamic (waves) influenced light coefficient and turbidity at the transplant site. Field observations showed that mortality of Enhalus acoroides transplants was caused by mud smoothering the leaves and barnacle growing on them. They made the leaves lost their buoyancy, laid on the surface, rotten and finally died. Wave is one of the important physical factor affecting the transplanting seagrass on the muddy substrate.
Powieść „Inny” Jurija Mamlejewa wobec artystycznego poznania Fiodora Dostojewskiego
Authors: Przybysz Anna Katarzyna
Published: September 2018

The aim of this article is to show the undeniable influence of Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s artistic method on Yuri Mamlejev’s literary works in particular in relation to his novel The Other. Relying on these determinants of fantastic realism, which for many researchers are referred to as the most significant elements of Dostoyevsky’s artistic method, we make an attempt to show that the carnival which combines the two orders in the works of the 19th century writer: the real (scientific) and the surreal (magic), makes the fantasy become an integral part of the surrounding space. Simultaneously the concept of fiction should be understood through such categories as: paradoxicality, iconicity, a word as a vessel, sleep, hallucinations, picture in picture, doppelgänger that foster deep psychological self-understanding of the entity. In the article we aim to expose some of the abovementioned categories of constructing the world of Dostoyevsky’s works and making up, as defined by the author himself “the realism of higher sense” which, in a slightly modified form, although still clearly visible, is also reflected in Mamleev’s artistic method – metaphysical realism. The main emphasis is put on the categories of sleep and doppelgänger which are the clearest examples of Yuri Vitalevich’s inspiration.

Dziecko jako świadek totalitaryzmu. „Dzieci Syjonu“ a „Dzieci Gułagu“
Authors: Lichtblau Krzysztof
Published: September 2018

The article features a comparison of two very different collections of stories. What binds these narrations is the way they present the influence of totalitarian regimes on children’s lives. Children of Zion is a set of documents selected by Henryk Grynberg concerning the fate of Jewish children evacuated from the USSR to Palestine by general Władysław Anders. Children of the Gulag is a co-operative work by Cathy Frierson and Semyon S. Vilensky. They used source documents archived by the Memorial Association (Общество Мемориал) and Return (Возвращение), a historical-literary society which was established by Wileński himself.

Pielewin i pustka. Rzecz o nowych horyzontach literatury
Authors: Nakoneczny Tomasz
Published: September 2018

The prose of Victor Pelevin, one of the best-known contemporary Russian writers, is usually associated with postmodernism. Some interpreters believe, however, that the proper context for the discussion of Pelevin is not postmodernism, but the traditional Russian cultural categories. For the author of this article the more fruitful way is to search for a variety of traditional and modern sources of cultural inspiration (intertextuality), which helped to establish the new forms of communication between writer and reader in the works of Pelevin.
„В некоторых стихиях опознаешь себя” — метафизическая интерпретация материального образа воды в эссе Иосифа Брод¬ского „Набережная неисцелимых”
Authors: Nigiel Adrianna
Published: September 2018

Describing the poetry of Venclova, Brodsky states that „every major poet has an idiosyncratic inner landscape against which his voice sounds in his mind or, if you prefer, subconsciously”[1]. We cannot but look at it as a potentially auto-referential remark. For Brodsky, definitely a major poet, such a place is Venice, yet it is surprising that his chief essay on that place does not capture many scholars’ attention. At the same time, there are relatively few studies that focus exclusively on the poetic images in Brodsky’s works as the material realization the poet’s reverie. That seems to be a huge negligence given that the metaphysical concern so characteristic of the poet is at its peak in this literary piece. The present study focuses on the images of water in Brodsky’s essay as being the chief substance of his cosmic reverie. The methodology derives from Bachelard’s phenomenological method, the aim of which is to communicate with the imagining consciousness of the poet who creates original images specific to him- or herself. While the poet’s experiences are not taken into account in uch an approach, the cosmology they recreate in poetry is and should be. The main aspects of Brodsky’s cosmic reverie communicated through water are that of the inherent connection between the poet and the universe he creates (а „diffuse ontology”), the existential conflict between human life and absolute Time that is a typical motif in Brodsky’s literary work, as well as the transcendental quality of poetry. All the abovementioned supports Bachelard’s intuition and encourages further study of the poet’s work in this context.
Оblicza kultury w słownikach lingwokulturologicznych na przykładzie Kościeja Nieśmiertelnego (Кащея «Кощея» Бессмерт¬ного)
Authors: Olechno-Wasiluk Joanna
Published: September 2018

The article compares descriptions of a linguistic unit Kashei the Immortal in entries in two linguocultural dictionaries. The choice of the analytical material is based on the fact that in the Russian collective consciousness Kashei the Immortal functions  as one of the most vivid examples of negative characters. The repelling appearance and personality of the character appear in songs, nursery rhymes and puzzles. Moreover, there stories about Kashei are passed from generation to generation. The comparison  of the entry Kashei the Immortal in linguocultural dictionaries aims at determining to what extent common knowledge about the analyzed linguistic unit is present in lexicographical publications.

Герменевтические подступы к русской литературе
Authors: Szubin Roman
Published: September 2018

The article is devoted to the search for a new space in the methodological studies on Russian literature. The author takes as its basis the method of hermeneutics  of words by Vardan Hayrapetyan. Especially the basic categories such as the world man (homo mundi), the Other and its variants: the self (rus. самость), otherness (rus. дру­гость), the alien (rus. чужесть) and two triads, which postulate two types of intellectual situations. In this regard, the author identifies the concept of the hybrid man of the hero of Russian literature in which a small person is a representative of an impersonal collective personality of the world man, home, family, ideas, etc. The author demonstrates the type of a hybrid man on the example of the protagonist of the novel by Vasily Shukshin Stepan Razin.
Od Turgieniewa do Moore’a — rola literatury rosyjskiej w ideologii Ligi Gaelickiej
Authors: Jarząb Joanna
Published: September 2018

The paper scrutinizes George Moore’s fascination with Ivan Turgenev’s literary output, which led the Irish novelist into writing his first collection of short stories. Interestingly, the abundance of influences resulted in George Moore being one of the few Irish writers, who, throughout his writing career, went from the state of eager interest in the Celtic Revival to the bitter criticism of the Gaelic League, visible in his autobiographical accounts. Interestingly, his collection of short stories The Untilled field (1903) well illustrates this process. Initially written in order to be used by the members of the Gaelic League as a text for translation into Irish, and therefore as a medium of dissemination of the native language among Irish people, later became a source of influence for James Joyce’s Dubliners. Therefore, the following paper aims to investigate the case of George Moore’s The Untilled field as a literary and cultural phenomenon. The reference to Ivan Turgenev’s A sportsman’s sketches (1852) is to be scrutinized. What is more, the paper investigates how the initial interest in the idea of a „Dublin Turgenev” did not end on this particular project but had a greater impact on Moore’s literary career.
Twórcza reinterpretacja mitów narodowych. Próba współodczytania „Trans-Atlantyku” Witolda Gombrowicza i „Małego palca Buddy” Wiktora Pielewina
Authors: Jaworski Mateusz
Published: September 2018

The aim of this paper is to depict significant parallels between the works  of Witold Gombrowicz and Viktor Pelevin within the scope of reinterpreting national myths. In their novels, Trans Atlantic and Buddha’s Little Finger, the writers seem to take account of substantial danger related to fixed, ossified forms of understanding the notions of nation and motherland. Despite visible differences in their styles both novelist stay alert to automatized relationship to any phenomenon and make attempts at provoking the reader to rethink their relationship to the abovementioned terms. The author of the present paper finds these issues crucial and very up-to-date in the post postmodern society and culture, in particular in light of the recent geopolitical changes.
W imię Boga Jedynego! (Aleksiej Warłamow „Zatopiona arka”)
Authors: Lewandowska Agnieszka
Published: September 2018

The article is an attempt to present a religious situation described by Aleksey Varlamov in his novel Zatonuvshiy kovcheg. The spiritual life of Russians after Perestroika not only turned out to be a period of resurgence of Orthodox Christianity, but also the emergence as well as restoration of previously existing sects. Therefore, this novel amounts to a new voice of the discussion on the Russians’ spiritual life then, now and in the future. The author tries to prove that the reawakening of sects brings danger to Russian people, especially to the young generation. This paper presents an analysis  of those fragments of the novel that refer to religious subjects and contain descriptions  of sects (the Old Believers and the Skoptsy). Besides, spiritual leaders of these sects (Vassian and Luppo) are characterized. The insight into the history of these religious groups is provided and supplemented with Varlamov's descriptions from the novel.

The purpose of this study was to develop a thermometry software tool for temperature monitoring during laser-induced interstitial thermotherapy (LITT). C++ programming language and several libraries including DICOM Toolkit, Grassroots DICOM library, Insight Segmentation and Registration Toolkit, Visualization Toolkit and Quasar Toolkit were used. The software’s graphical user interface creates windows displaying the temperature map and the coagulation extent in the tissue, determined by the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) thermometry with the echo planar imaging sequence and a numerical simulation based on the radiation and heat transfer in biological tissues, respectively. The software was evaluated applying the MRI-guided LITT to ex vivo pig liver and simultaneously measuring the temperature through a fiber-optic thermometer as reference. Using the software, the temperature distribution determined by the MRI method was compared with the coagulation extent simulation. An agreement was shown between the MRI temperature map and the simulated coagulation extent. Furthermore, the MRI-based and simulated temperatures agreed with the measured one – a correlation coefficient of 0.9993 and 0.9996 was obtained, respectively. The precision of the MRI temperature amounted to 2.4°C. In conclusion, the software tool developed in the present study can be applied for monitoring and controlling the LITT procedure in ex vivo tissues.
Bessarion’s date of birth: a new assessment of the evidence
Authors: Kennedy Scott
Published: September 2018

The cardinal Bessarion was a foremost figure of the Italian Renaissance and late Byzantium. However, some of the details of his life are not yet securely established, especially his date of birth. Over the last century, scholars have proposed dates ranging from 1400 to 1408. In this study, I critically interrogate the two most commonly accepted dates (1400 and 1408). In the past, scholars have relied on the age requirements of canon law or the testimony of Italian observers to determine Bessarion’s age. By critically examining the validity of these two assumptions, I reprioritize the evidence, approximating the cardinal’s year of birth as 1403.
There and back again: on the influence of Psellos on the career of Mauropous
Authors: Mauche Nepheli , Roskilly Jack
Published: September 2018

Some aspects of the life of John Mauropous are still unclear. It is often assumed that his nomination as metropolitan bishop of Euchaita was a disguised exile from the imperial Court. However, it took him more than twenty years to come back to Constantinople after quitting his bishopric. The close analysis of the relationship between Mauropous and Psellos, another exile from Constantine Monomachos’ Court, will lead us to reconsider the conditions of the departure and the return of Mauropous. If his nomination was not the described exile, his resignation was conditioned with the willing of Psellos, who was his main support in the capital but was not as reliable friend as he seemed to.
