Authors: Hemida Reda , Hemida Reda , Sauthier Philippe , Toson Eman , Tsip Nataly , Pradjatmu Heru , Eladawi Noha , Anfinan Nisreen , Sait Khalid , Doorn Helena C van
Published: September 2020

Purpose: To investigate the outcome of different treatment strategies in patients with gestational
trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) in women at 40 years old and above.
Patients and Methods: We analysed a historical cohort from 5 referral centres from 5 countries, including
all women with GTN treated between 2012 and 2017, who were 40 years old and older. Baseline
characteristics and outcome of different treatment strategies were recorded and evaluated. The patients were
categorized into low-risk non-metastatic, low-risk metastatic and high-risk, based on the FIGO
classification.
Results: A total of 141 cases were identified, of which 112 cases fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Mean age
was 45.4 years ± 4.2SD. Of 80 patients with LR non-metastatic GTN, 46 women received single agent
chemotherapy and 34 a hysterectomy with or without (n = 4) chemotherapy. Higher remission rate and
shorter treatment duration (P=0.001) was seen in the group that underwent hysterectomy. Seven of the 14
patients with low-risk, metastatic GTN were cured with methotrexate. Two of the 18 high risk patients died
before treatment, four were treated with polychemotherapy; two of them needed second line chemotherapy
for incomplete response. Two cases received induction with methotrexate followed by EMA/CO. Ten highrisk patients were treated with hysterectomy and chemotherapy, of these six achieved complete remission,
three needed second line chemotherapy, and one patient died during chemotherapy treatment.
Conclusion: In this cohort of women with GTN at 40 years old or above, we found high proportions of
metastatic and high-risk cases, of methotrexate resistance, and of need for multiple treatment lines. In all
groups, hysterectomy was performed, but its role remains controversial in metastatic low-risk and high-risk
disease.
Pac’Stão versus the City of Police
Authors: Braathen Einar
Published: September 2020

This article analyzes community activism and state interventionism within a context of racialized and gendered violence that is both direct/physical and structural. It presents a case study of Manguinhos, a cluster of favelas in Rio de Janeiro experiencing the federal Growth Acceleration Program (PAC), which provided political opportunities for community contentions. A main finding is that an oligarchic-patrimonial system suppressed the participatory-democratic aspirations of the federal government and local activists alike. Nevertheless, new rounds of activism keep surging against a prevailing military-repressive logic. Observations and interviews from fieldwork have been supplemented with written sources—relevant public documents, media sources, and research publications.
Suburban Dissent
Authors: Avery Jocelyn D.
Published: September 2020

This article discusses a Western Australian community’s campaign against the development of a disability justice center in their Perth neighborhood. The history of the location provides context for an examination of the campaign that draws on the mainstream and social media reporting of the protests. Taking a spatial approach to the analysis situates the disability justice center as an unwanted place within the neighborhood space as imagined, created and reproduced by the residents. The center was, in effect, socially produced by the social relations and political economy of the campaign long before it was a built reality. While politics lay at the heart of the protests, the analysis reveals groups that were marginalized by the campaign and excluded from the community. The campaign brought the community together to protest against the inclusion of anomalous others in their neighborhood, but at the expense of the potential occupants of the disability justice center, many of whom are Aboriginal people. I argue that protests can bring people together and reinforce the idea of community, but protests also reveal who is excluded—inadvertently or not—and may compromise the rights of these “others.”
“Where Is the New Constitution?”
Authors: Heffernan Timothy
Published: September 2020

Following mass demonstrations in response to the country’s 2008 economic collapse, a dynamic civil society has emerged in Iceland focused on democratic reform through rewriting the constitution. This article demonstrates how, in the absence of the new constitution that was promised by the government, protesters are pursuing an unfinished project of reform by holding small, routinized protests founded on an ethic of empathic solidarity (samkennd). By exploring the aesthetic elements of these meetings, I argue that the protest site is being used to highlight and condemn ongoing government transgression while also providing a space to prefigure a future free of political corruption. To this end, explicit signage is shown to be reshaping political discourse while also extending (and denying) kin bonds between protesters.

The use of in vivo haploid induction system makes the doubled haploid (DH) technology easier to adopt for the conventional maize breeders. However, despite having played an important role in the initial developmental phases of DH technology, Indian maize research has yet to harvest its benefits. Haploid Inducer Lines (HILs) developed by CIMMYT are being widely used in maize breeding programmes in many countries including India. There, however, is no published information on the efficiency of DH line production using CIMMYT HILs in Indian maize breeding programmes. In the present study, the efficiency of DH production using CIMMYT’s tropically adapted inducer line TAILP1 was investigated with eight source populations including two of sweet corn. The average haploid induction rate (HIR) of TAILP1 was 5.48% with a range of 2.01 to 10.03%. Efficiency of DH production ranged from 0.14 to 1.87% for different source populations with an average of 1.07%. The information generated will be useful for maize breeders intending to use DH technology for accelerated development of completely homozygous lines.
CHINESE MUSICAL TRADITIONS: STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT

Published: September 2020

The purpose of the article is to analyse the development of the worldview system of Ancient China, in particular, the philosophy that directly determined the cultural and musical traditions of the country. The research methodology provides historical and biographical methods for the subject studying. We have researched the effects of the worldview of Ancient China on the country’s musical traditions. Furthermore, we have defined the historical names of philosophers who influenced the development of musical art and education mostly, which also affected cultural traditions. Conclusions. Chinese musical culture has been proven to be originated from the performance of ritual song and dance rites during work, then it was repeated in court and temple traditions. As a result, by the time of the early Western Zhou period (the 11th – 3rd centuries BC), a music institution was created, which started a school of music and dance. Music took a philosophical content in the late Eastern Zhou period (770 – 256 BC) following the emergence and spread of Confucianism and Taoism. During the Han period, due to the cultural influence of India and other Middle Eastern countries, Buddhism spread in China, and new musical instruments appeared. In the 6th – 7th centuries, musical compositions for qin and pipa were composed, written in the form of dialogues that included songs and dances; the role of the orchestral part began to grow. During the 11th – 13th centuries, musical styles were divided into northern (heroic moods, heptatonic scales) and southern (strict rules of composition, pentatonic scales). Since the 17th century, Chinese music has been introduced as folk songs. Jingju theatre performances became popular. Shi fan xue orchestra music was actively developing. In the 18th and 19th centuries, Chinese musicians did already use the European instruments and perform European music. Changes have been taking place in the vocal art, where the socalled musical form tanci has appeared. In the 20th century, Chinese professional music was formed, and the system of music education was developed. There was a search in the musical style in order to emphasise the national basis. Chinese composers in their original works combine national and stylistic origins with models of European music, thus creating their own nationally coloured style.

A WOMAN IN THE UKRAINIAN RITUALS OF THE WINTER CALENDAR CYCLE
Authors: Lyniuk Olena
Published: September 2020

The purpose of the article is to identify gender priorities (parity of male and female roles) in the Ukrainian rites of the winter calendar cycle based on the analysis of the mythological origins of the rite system and the composition of the rites, the main role in the performance of which belonged to a woman. To achieve this goal, the following methods were used: generalization ? for the systematization of the scientific sources; analytical method ? for the analysis of the cause-and-effect features, the emergence and formation of the trends in the complex study of the scientific issues; the method of the retrospective reconstruction or historical and genetic method, which is based on the idea that the initial stages of the development of certain objects and phenomena can be reproduced on the basis of the later stages. The scientific novelty of the study is to analyze the peculiarities of the distribution of female and male roles, identify and justify the special role of a woman and emphasize the gender priorities in the rites of the winter calendar cycle. Conclusions. The study demonstrates that the cult of Mother Earth, Mother Water defines the essential role of the feminine principle both in the macrocosm – environment of gods and elemental spirits, and in the microcosm of the family, determining the corresponding gender priorities of the rituals. It has been defined that the role of a women in the winter rites differs from the role of a man in its symbolic content, but it is devoid of any signs of hierarchical subordination, secondary importance. Sometimes, even the opposite – it is the leading one, which is explained by the mythological content of Christmas and New Year rites as those that are addressed directly to the highest female deity and indicate the organic and deep connection of a woman with the goddesses of Earth and Water. This suggests that the image of a woman in the traditional Ukrainian culture was to a certain extent perceived as the everyday embodiment of these sacred entities and is a confirmation of the relations of ritual and myth. It was revealed that the belief in the supremacy of the female deity was transformed under the influence of Christianity. The gender hierarchy of the traditional Ukrainian family mainly depends not so much on the established patriarchal rules, but on the personality and its social status. The gender identity of the Ukrainian rites of the winter calendar cycle consists in the parity of female and male roles, which symbolizes the harmony in the family microcosm and the macrocosm of the environment.
SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL PROGRESS IN THE CONTEXT OF DEVELOPMENT OF “TECHNOLOGICAL” SOCIETY
Authors: Trach Julia
Published: September 2020

The purpose of the article is to find out the essence of scientific and technological progress as a factor of development of “technological” society. The research methodology is based on the principles of integrity and systematic nature, which could reveal major contradictions in the development of modern technologies related to their impact on contemporary culture. The scientific novelty is to clarify the importance of scientific and technological progress for the development of a “technological” society, to find out the impact of engineering and technology, including information and communication, on modern culture. Conclusions. Sociocultural progress is largely related to the progress of technology and its application for the development of science. The importance and role of technology in sociocultural development throughout human history have grown steadily, reaching an unprecedented level today. The interaction of technology, information and traditional culture and their joint impact on all spheres of human activity is extremely complex, giving rise to many sociocultural issues. However, disputes over the technique’s future concern, not so much technology itself, but the future of civilisation. Humanity is vitally interested in technology, thought as the only common phenomenon of human culture, which has become a factor that largely determines the further development. One of the main causes of many so-called techno-problems is the gap between technology and culture; in the predominance of the paradigm of the dominant role of science and technology in the general development of civilisation in the rather large period of society, in the emergence of this “mass culture”. Therefore, the concern of the objectives and solutions to the problems afflicting cultural studies today requires the formation of a new paradigm of understanding and attitude toward technology in society, including the definition of its role in modern culture and sociocultural transformation’s tools. This refers to a patently controlled process of creating and making extensive use of the technologies required for the betterment of all people.
