Проблема еды и алкоголя в пропаганде противоборствующих сторон в период Великой Отечественной войны
Authors: В.А. Антонцева , А.В. Цветков
Published: November 2024

в статье рассматривается такой аспект пропаганды в период Великой Отечественной войны, как апелляция к проблеме еды и алкоголя. В условиях острой нехватки продовольствия на фронте, а тем более на оккупированных территориях, эксплуатация этой темы стала одним из краеугольных камней как в немецкой, так и в советской пропаганде. В первой части статьи рассматривается немецкая и коллаборационистская пропаганда, которая активно использовала метод «подкупа» продуктами питания и алкоголем. Авторы приходят к выводу о том, что вражеская агитация была основана на представлениях о немецкой исключительности и «примитивности» русских, чьи потребности сводятся в основном к еде, курению и алкоголю. Не подкрепленная реальными действиями немецкая пропаганда «сытой жизни» не имела значительного успеха у советских граждан. Во второй части статьи анализируется советская пропаганда и делается вывод о её продуманности и идеологической выверенности. Помимо материальных вопросов, в частности вопроса питания, она затрагивала и духовно-нравственную сферу, обращаясь к патриотическим чувствам граждан и идейным установкам советской власти. Статья вводит в научный оборот уникальные архивные документы.

the article examines such an aspect of propaganda during the Great Patriotic War as an appeal to the problem of food and alcohol. In conditions of acute food shortages at the front, and even more so in the occupied territories, the exploitation of this theme became one of the cornerstones of both German and Soviet propaganda. The first part of the article examines German and collaborationist propaganda, which actively used the method of "bribery" with food and alcohol. The authors conclude that the enemy's agitation was based on the ideas of German exclusivity and the "primitiveness" of Russians, whose needs are mainly reduced to food, smoking and alcohol. Unsupported by real actions, the German propaganda of a "well-fed life" did not have significant success among Soviet citizens. The second part of the article analyzes Soviet propaganda and concludes that it is well thought out and ideologically verified. In addition to material issues, in particular the issue of nutrition, it also touched on the spiritual and moral sphere, appealing to the patriotic feelings of citizens and the ideological attitudes of the Soviet government. The article introduces unique archival documents into scientific circulation.

Находки каменных штоков якорей, как инструмент локализации античных якорных стоянок
Authors: Д.В. Поспелов
Published: November 2024

в статье рассматривается значимость находок каменных штоков якорей как археологического инструмента для локализации античных якорных стоянок. Каменные штоки, являвшиеся неотъемлемой частью морского оборудования в древности, играют важную роль в изучении морских маршрутов и торговых путей, а также в реконструкции географии античных цивилизаций. Автор приводит примеры идентифицированных стоянок в Средиземноморье и Черноморском регионе, на территории современного Ливана. Все описанные стоянки были локализованы при помощи каменных якорных штоков. Локализация и реконструкция маршрутов при помощи каменных штоков якорей представляет собой мощный инструмент для понимания древнего мореплавания. Этот метод позволяет восстанавливать не только физические маршруты, но и экономическую, культурную и социальную динамику древних обществ, раскрывая, каким образом море соединяло различные части античного мира. Идентификация стоянок с использованием находок каменных штоков якорей представляет собой важный аспект археологического исследования, связанный с реконструкцией древних морских путей и мест временной стоянки судов. Этот процесс включает в себя несколько этапов и факторов, которые помогают определить точные места, где суда бросали якорь. Эффективность использования найденных каменных штоков для исследования морской инфраструктуры античности связана с тем, что якорные штоки часто сопровождаются смежными находками: амфоры, обломки кораблей, груз и т.д. В совокупности все это позволяет определить тип стоянки, ее значимость для морских путей.

the article discusses the significance of finds of stone anchor rods as an archaeological tool for localizing ancient anchorages. Stone stocks, which were an integral part of maritime equipment in ancient times, play an important role in the study of sea routes and trade routes, as well as in the reconstruction of the geography of ancient civilizations. The author gives examples of identified sites in the Mediterranean and Black Sea regions, in the territory of modern Lebanon. All described sites were localized using stone anchor rods. Localizing and reconstructing routes using stone anchor shafts provides a powerful tool for understanding ancient navigation. This method allows us to reconstruct not only the physical routes, but also the economic, cultural and social dynamics of ancient societies, revealing how the sea connected different parts of the ancient world. Identification of sites using finds of stone anchor rods is an important aspect of archaeological research associated with the reconstruction of ancient sea routes and mooring sites. This process involves several steps and factors that help determine the exact locations where the vessels dropped anchor. The effectiveness of using found stone rods to study the maritime infrastructure of antiquity is due to the fact that anchor rods are often accompanied by related finds: amphorae, shipwrecks, cargo, etc. Taken together, all this makes it possible to determine the type of anchorage and its significance for sea routes.
Lymphangioleiomyomatosis: A Review
Authors: Bouanzoul Mohammed Amine , Rosen Yale
Published: November 2024

Context.—

Lymphangioleiomyomatosis is a rare multisystem disorder belonging to the family of neoplasms exhibiting perivascular epithelioid differentiation. It primarily affects women of childbearing age. The disease is characterized by a proliferation of smooth muscle–like cells (lymphangioleiomyomatosis cells) within all lung compartments, leading to cystic parenchymal destruction and, in some cases, respiratory failure. These cells carry mutations in one or both tuberous sclerosis (TSC) genes and coexpress smooth muscle and melanocytic markers. Female hormones, particularly estrogens, influence the course of the disease. Symptoms of lymphangioleiomyomatosis vary significantly among patients, ranging from exertional dyspnea and coughing to chest pain and recurrent pneumothorax.

Objective.—

To present the latest advancements in the understanding of disease pathogenesis and diagnosis, illustrate the pathologic and radiologic findings, provide a reference for pathologists and other health care professionals, briefly discuss recent evidence-based therapeutic approaches, and emphasize the importance of adopting a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and optimization of patient care.

Data Sources.—

A comprehensive review of pertinent medical literature published in the last 30 years, focusing on publications written in the English language, was performed.

Conclusions.—

Despite the recent significant advancements in the understanding and management of lymphangioleiomyomatosis, there are still significant gaps in our knowledge of its pathophysiology and the role of the immune system in the genesis and progression of the disease. The current changes in diagnostic algorithms favor the adoption of minimally invasive procedures as the standard of care. As a result, the clinical laboratory will play a larger role in the diagnosis of lymphangioleiomyomatosis, and surgical pathologists will likely be less involved in the diagnosis of pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis than they currently are.

Published: November 2024

Context.—

Cardiac and pulmonary allograft recipients represent a unique population, frequently interacting with support groups and exhibiting intense curiosity about their pathology. Like other solid organ transplant patients, they have enduring and frequent interaction with the laboratory for routine allograft surveillance.

Objective.—

To address patient requests to understand what happens to their explanted organ and to better understand their disease while simultaneously improving awareness of pathologists’ role in their continuing care.

Design.—

At routine follow-up appointments, transplant nurse coordinators offer each allograft recipient the opportunity to interact with a pathologist in our “On My Path” program. Organ viewing occurs in a private setting, in a specialized room. Relevant pathology is discussed, and questions are answered, with documentation in the medical record. The patient is subsequently gifted a 3-dimensional model of their explanted organ. Transplant coordinators were surveyed for their feedback on the experience.

Results.—

One hundred fifty-eight interactions have been documented (2017–2022), including patients who underwent cardiac transplant (96, 61%), single or bilateral lung transplant (54, 34%), or combination lung and heart transplant (8, 5%). Transplant coordinators reported an increase in patient understanding of their disease and emotional closure related to the disease through the On My Path program.

Conclusions.—

Pathologists providing direct patient care is a feasible model that addresses currently unmet desires of the transplant population to better understand their pathology. Providing a 3-dimensional model helps to empower patients and drives satisfaction. These interactions also improve awareness about pathology as a discipline and its importance in the continued care of transplant recipients.

Published: November 2024

Gender equality is one of the goals of SDG, so every country needs to make efforts so that gender equality can be realized. Gender inequality is calculated using the Gender Inequality Index (GII). One of the components in preparing the Gender Inequality Index is labor force participation rate. Within the population included in the labor force, some people are employed and unemployed. In this study, gender inequality in terms of unemployment will be calculated using Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition with three calculation stages. The first is probit regression analysis, the second is marginal effects and the third is Oaxaca blinder decomposition. The results of the probit regression analysis show that all observed independent variables significantly effect on unemployment for both men and women. Meanwhile, the marginal effect results show that this variable’s influence is quite small, only 0.1 - 2 percent. The results of Oaxaca blinder decomposition show that the inequality between male and female unemployment is 1.42%, of which 29.88% is influenced by, observed factors and unobserved factors influence the remaining. There are only three variables that influence the gender gap, namely marital status, number of household members and household income 70.12%.

Authors: Karamolla Tarık
Published: November 2024

Bu çalışmanın amacı örgütsel çeviklik ve kurumsal sosyal medyanın, örgüt yanlısı etik olmayan davranışlar üzerindeki etkilerini ortaya koymak ve bu değişkenler arasındaki ilişkide gelenekselliğin düzenleyici rolü oynayıp oynamadığını tespit etmektir. Araştırmanın örneklemini İstanbul Sanayi Odasının her yıl belirlediği Türkiyenin en büyük ilk 500 Sanayi şirketlerinde çalışmakta olan yöneticiler oluşturmaktadır (n = 500). Bu çalışmada veriler Chen (2012) tarafından geliştirilen Örgütsel Çeviklik Ölçeği, Cai ve diğerleri (2018) tarafından tasarlanan Kurumsal Sosyal Medya Ölçeği, Umpress ve diğerleri (2010) tarafından geliştirilen Örgüt Yanlısı Etik Olmayan Davranışlar Ölçeği ve Thanissaro (2018) tarafından tasarlanan Geleneksellik Ölçeğinden oluşan bir anket yardımıyla elde edilmiştir. Elde edilen veriler kısmi en küçük kareler yöntemi varyans temelli yapısal eşitlik modellemesi (KEKK-YEM) yardımıyla analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmanın bulgularına göre; örgütsel çevikliğin, örgüt yanlısı etik olmayan davranışlar üzerinde negatif ve anlamlı bir etkiye sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Buna karşın kurumsal sosyal medyanın örgüt yanlısı etik olmayan davranışlar üzerinde anlamlı bir etkiye sahip olmadığı gözlemlenmiştir. Ayrıca gelenekselliğin, örgütsel çeviklik ile örgüt yanlısı etik olmayan davranışlar arasındaki ilişkide düzenleyici rolü oynamadığı gözlemlenmezken, yüksek geleneksellik düzeyine sahip yöneticilerin, kurumsal sosyal medya kullanımlarının artmasıyla örgüt yanlısı etik olmayan davranışlar sergiledikleri tespit edilmiştir. Bu sebeple gelenekselliğin, kurumsal sosyal medya ve örgüt yanlısı etik olmayan davranışlar arasında arttırıcı ve düzenleyici bir rolü olduğu belirlenmiştir. Son olarak araştırmanın bazı kısıtlarının bulunduğu vurgulandıktan sonra, hem şirket yöneticilerine ve çalışanlarına konu ile ilişkili araştırma bulgularına dayalı olarak bazı önerilerde bulunulmuş, hem de gelecekte benzer konularda yapılacak araştırmalara ilişkin öneriler sunulmuştur.

Authors: Karim Sharmila , Alaudin Ros Idayuwati , Liew Guan Yu
Published: November 2024

A corporation enters financial distress when its cash flows are insufficient to cover its debts to stakeholders, both financial and non-financial. When the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic struck the world and caused lockdowns that impacted many businesses, particularly those in the tourism and retail industries, the likelihood of financial distress increased. Thus, the Grover model is used to determine and analyse the financial distress prediction in retail and tourist companies listed on Bursa Malaysia. The Grover model categorises companies as financially distressed with a G-Score equal to or less than -0.02. Meanwhile, the G-Score for companies in the safe zone is equal to or greater than 0.01. Four companies were chosen, and a sample of data was collected from 2017 to 2021. The findings showed that during the COVID-19 pandemic from 2020 to 2021, three companies were under financial distress, especially those in the tourism and hospitality sectors. Meanwhile, retailer companies, especially those in food manufacturing, were not affected by this pandemic.

Published: November 2024

The present study explored the phytoconstituents and radical scavenging activity of the respective n-hexane and aqueous fractions of Cucurbita maxima (CMHF and CMAF) and Leptadenia hastata (LHHF and LHAF) for potential application in oxidative stress-related ailments. The phytoconstituents were qualitatively determined and characterized using Fourier-transform Infrared (FTIR), while the antioxidant activity was determined in vitro. Alkaloids were present in only the aqueous fractions of C. maxima and L. hastata, while saponins, steroids, and flavonoids were detected in all the fractions. The FTIR revealed the presence of functional groups, including alcohols, sulfonates, alkenes, alkanes, amines, and aromatics in both plant fractions. The LHHF (35.53 ±2.11 ascorbic acid (AA) equivalent µg/mL) exhibited a significantly (p<0.05) higher total reducing power (TRP) than all the other fractions. The CMHF (69.11 ±2.56 AAE µg/mL) demonstrated a significantly (p<0.05) higher total antioxidant capacity (TAC) than all the other fractions. For the ferric thiocyanate (FTC) assay, the highest inhibition was exhibited by LHHF (79.78 ± 3.24%), significantly (p<0.05) higher than AA (26.46 ± 2.12%), CMHF (69.77 ± 3.16%), and CMAF (43.80 ± 2.12%). In the thiobarbituric acid assay, the lowest MDA concentration was exhibited by the CMHF (0.07 ±0.01 nmol/mL), significantly (p<0.05) lower than all the other fractions and ascorbic acid. Conclusively, the n-hexane fraction of both plants presents potential sources of novel antioxidant compounds with significant free radical scavenging and anti-lipid peroxidation activities, applicable in ailments linked to oxidative stress.

The Role of Exosomal miRNAs in Regulating Lipid Metabolism in Obesity-Associated Hyperlipidemia
Authors:   School of Natural and Applied Sciences Kampala International University Uganda, Namusisi H. Nambi
Published: November 2024

Obesity-associated hyperlipidemia is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndrome, and other complications. The dysregulation of lipid metabolism in obesity is driven by a complex network of molecular and cellular mechanisms. Among these, exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as key regulators in the communication between adipose tissue, the liver, and other metabolic organs. Exosomes, small vesicles secreted by various cell types, contain miRNAs that can modulate gene expression in recipient cells, thereby influencing lipid metabolism. This review explores the role of exosomal miRNAs in obesity-associated hyperlipidemia, focusing on their mechanisms of action, regulatory functions, and potential therapeutic implications. We highlight specific exosomal miRNAs involved in lipid metabolism pathways, their role in adipogenesis, lipogenesis, and lipid storage, as well as their impact on systemic lipid homeostasis. Additionally, we discuss the potential of targeting exosomal miRNAs as a novel therapeutic approach for managing hyperlipidemia and obesity-related metabolic disorders.

Lipid Droplet Biology in Obesity: Mechanisms of Lipid Storage and Mobilization in Metabolic Disease
Authors:   School of Natural and Applied Sciences Kampala International University Uganda, Wairimu H. Kibibi
Published: November 2024

Lipid droplets (LDs) are dynamic organelles that play a central role in lipid storage and mobilization, particularly in the context of metabolic diseases like obesity. Obesity is characterized by excessive accumulation of triglycerides within adipocytes, leading to metabolic dysregulation and associated comorbidities such as insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. This review explores the biology of lipid droplets in the setting of obesity, focusing on the mechanisms of lipid storage and mobilization. We discuss the key regulatory proteins involved in LD formation and degradation, including perilipins, adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL), and hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL). Additionally, the roles of lipophagy, autophagy, and lipolysis in lipid mobilization are explored. We also highlight how dysregulation of lipid droplet biology contributes to obesity-related metabolic disorders, with emphasis on the impact of lipid droplet dysfunction on cellular signaling, lipid metabolism, and inflammation. Finally, we discuss the potential of targeting LDs as a therapeutic strategy for treating obesity and its metabolic complications. Keywords: Lipid droplets, Obesity, Lipid storage, Lipid mobilization, Metabolic disease, Lipolysis, Lipophagy, Triglycerides
Understanding Natural Immunity against Malaria: Mechanisms, Implications, and Future Directions
Authors:   Department of Pharmacoepidemeology Kampala International University Uganda, Jemima Arionget
Published: November 2024

Malaria remains a significant global health challenge, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, where it contributes to high morbidity and mortality rates. Natural immunity to malaria, acquired through repeated exposure to Plasmodium parasites, provides partial protection against severe disease but does not prevent infection. This review explores the mechanisms underlying natural immunity, including the roles of innate and adaptive immune responses, and the impact of factors such as age, genetics, and repeated exposure. It also examines the implications of natural immunity for malaria control strategies, particularly in endemic regions where partial immunity helps reduce the disease burden. The review highlights recent advances in immunological research, including the identification of immune markers and biomarkers that correlate with malaria resistance. Additionally, it discusses how natural immunity can inform the development of more effective vaccines and therapies. The review concludes by identifying key gaps in current research and suggesting future directions, including enhancing natural immunity through vaccines and immunotherapies, and the importance of global collaboration in advancing malaria control efforts. Keywords: Malaria, Natural immunity, Innate immunity, Adaptive immunity, Plasmodium parasites, Vaccine development.

Nevertheless, certain media and public spaces—though limited and compromised—are available for the negotiated survival and expressions of its gender, sexual, and sociocultural minorities (Bao 2018, 2020; Engebretsen 2014; Engebretsen and Schroeder 2015; Ho 2010; Kam 2013;

Thinking the other week about binge watching – which, you may recall, I and my friends actually invented a few decades back – I have to admit that there were

The Tropics has long been associated with exotic diseases and epidemics. This historical imaginary arose with Aristotle’s notion of the tropics as the ‘torrid zone’, a geographical region virtually uninhabitable to non-indigenous peoples due to the hostility of its climate; it persisted in colonial imaginaries of the tropics as pestilential latitudes requiring slave labour;

The current media ecology places more emphasis than ever on the role of nonfiction media in the creation and obfuscation of “truth.” Documentary theory has probed the dialectical relationship between the documentary impulse to represent reality and the sometimes-argued impossibility of media to do just that (Barnouw 1993; Bruzzi 2000; Nichols 2001;

Imagining a new kind of community of practice
Authors: Sadki Reda
Published: November 2024

Busy managers may enjoy connecting socially and exchanging informally with their peers. However, they are likely to find it difficult to justify time doing so. They may say “I’m too busy” but what they usually mean is that the opportunity cost is too high. The Achilles heel of

communities of practice

is that – just like formal training – they require managers to stop work in order to learn. They break the flow of learning in work.

Sumisas Poderosas, Rebeldes Doblegadas. Religiosidad «conflictiva» en mujeres de poder (del siglo XV al XVI - Juana I de Castilla)
Authors: Fuente Pérez María Jesús
Published: November 2024

Una mirada a la religiosidad femenina de los siglos XV y XVI permite observar cambios significativos en la vida conventual, en formas de religiosidad independiente o al margen de instituciones regladas o en la participación de mujeres laicas en movimientos religiosos como el de los alumbrados o el de la devotio moderna. ¿Cómo afectaron los cambios a otras mujeres, en particular a algunas con posibilidades de influencia sobre la sociedad? ¿Qué papel tuvieron, reinas y mujeres de la nobleza, figuras esenciales en la religiosidad femenina durante siglos, en las nuevas tendencias religiosas? ¿Pudieron influir en los poderes religiosos? Este trabajo enfoca a una mujer de la realeza hispana, buen ejemplo de religiosidad «conflictiva», Juana I de Castilla, y a su lado se contemplará brevemente a otra mujer de la realeza, Margarita de Navarra, que tuvo un papel significativo en los cambios religiosos del primer tercio del siglo XVI en Francia; con una formación cultural exquisita para su tiempo, ambas se inclinaron por una religiosidad diferente a la católica tradicional, pero se vieron doblegadas al no ser admitidas sus ideas por los poderes políticos y religiosos controlados por hombres.

El relicario de los Condes de Altamira en el palacio de Almazán (1740): nuevos apuntes de un espacio heredado
Authors: Ortega Jiménez José Manuel
Published: November 2024

EEn este trabajo abordamos el estudio del relicario que los condes de Altamira tenían en el oratorio de su palacio de Almazán (Soria). Creado en la segunda mitad del siglo XVI por Francisco Hurtado de Mendoza, I marqués de Almazán, este espacio seguía las directrices marcadas por la Contrarreforma. A pesar de ciertos avatares históricos, la colección de reliquias permaneció en el mismo sitio hasta el siglo XIX. A través de un inventario localizado en el Archivo Histórico de la Nobleza, y fechado en 1740, podemos conocer las piezas que se conservaban en el siglo XVIII. El estudio de dicho documento nos permitirá mostrar la evolución de este interesante conjunto, así como reconstruir la estructura en la que se depositaban las reliquias.
