La homogeneización de la naturaleza en la obra de Gioconda Belli
Authors: White Steven F
Published: March 2020

ResumenUn análisis ecocrítico de la obra de la nicaragüense Gioconda Belli, que nació  en 1948, revela que la autora suele homogenizar el medio ambiente, tratándolo en términos genéricos como un adorno, sin el conocimiento de las cualidades específicas locales ni de sistemas cuyo ámbito abarca lo global. Según Val Plumwood en Environmental Culture: The Ecological Crisis of Reason, “este modelo promueve la insensibilidad a la diversidad maravillosa de la naturaleza, ya que las diferencias en la naturaleza sólo se cuidan si es probable que contribuyan de manera obvia al bienestar humano” (Plumwood 107).  Este rasgo de su poética distingue a Belli del gran número de nicaragüenses de la población general que sí sabe nombrar a muchos miembros de su comunidad biológica, incorporarlos en sus vidas como remedios para una gran variedad de enfermedades comunes y también usarlos como figuras muy expresivas de conversaciones cotidianas. Abstract An ecocritical analysis of Nicaraguan autor Gioconda Belli’s work, who was born in 1948, reveals that the author usually homogenizes the environment, treating it in generic terms as an ornament, without the knowledge of the local specific qualities nor the systems whose scope cover the global. According to Val Plumwood in Environmental Culture: The Ecological Crisis of Reason, “the model promotes insensitivity to the marvelous diversity of nature, since differences in nature are attended to only if they are likely to contribute in some obvious way to human welfare” (Plumwood 107). This feature of her poetics distinguishes Belli from the vast number of Nicaraguans of the general population who do know to name many members of their biological community, to incorporate them into their lives as remedy for a great variety of common diseases and also to use them as very expressive figures in everyday conversation.

Carlos Morton is a leading Chicano dramatist, who has been writing and producing  plays for more than four decades. Among his best-known plays are The Many Deaths of Danny Rosales (1983) and Johnny Tenorio (1992). In addition to his work for the stage, which has been widely produced, he has written for television and radio, and taught at universities in Texas, California, and Mexico (he holds a PhD from the University of Texas, Austin). When he started his career, at the end of the 1960s and the start of the 1970s, his enthusiasm was sparked by the political theatre produced by Teatro Campesino and the San Francisco Mime Troupe.  His work has since adopted a wider variety of styles and themes:  evoking historical events, myths, biblical stories, and contemporary political issues, such as racism and machismo, interweaving realism with fantasy. But he always addresses a Chicano audience, and exposes the oppression of Chicano and Latino people.  He is currently Professor of Theater at the University of California at Santa Barbara.

Nacionalizar la naturaleza. Ciencias naturales y discursos nacionalistas en la España del regeneracionismo
Authors: Casado de Otaola Santos
Published: March 2020

The intertwining of science and literature is a prominent feature of those nationalistic discourses, spanning the turn-of-the-century decades from approximately 1870 to 1930, that have become regarded as typical of Spanish regeneracionismo. Naturalists, such as geologist and mining engineer, Lucas Mallada, or geographer and geologist, Eduardo Hernández-Pacheco, tapped into the intellectual authority of science in order to provide new narratives of Spanish nature as the ultimate source of both national identity and national prosperity. First, if Spaniards were to have a realistic account of the opportunities and obstacles involved in their millenary relationship with a rich and diverse, but nonetheless rugged and harsh, natural environment, a full scientific survey of the Spanish territory was in order. Second, inspirations for a renewed and strengthened national identity could be derived from a re-examination of Spanish nature. In the midst of a particularly acute fin-de-siècle crisis, many intellectuals turned towards the natural landscape as a source of healing and regeneration, hoping to rejuvenate a deep, ages-old, organic relationship between the Spanish people and Iberian nature. Ciencia y literatura aparecen entrelazadas en los discursos nacionalistas que caracterizan la política y la cultura españolas del regeneracionismo, a lo largo del prolongado cambio de siglo que va desde la década de 1870 a la de 1930. Naturalistas como el geólogo e ingeniero de minas Lucas Mallada o el geógrafo y geólogo Eduardo Hernández-Pacheco recurrieron a la autoridad de la ciencia para ofrecer nuevas narrativas acerca de la naturaleza española en las que esta se presentaba como la fuente última de la identidad y la prosperidad nacionales. En primer lugar, se imponía acometer un reconocimiento científico del territorio español que proporcionase una base de conocimiento realista sobre las oportunidades y los obstáculos que los españoles hallaban en su milenaria relación con su medio natural, que si bien ofrecía riqueza y diversidad no dejaba al tiempo de ser considerablemente áspero y bravío. En segundo lugar, un retorno a la propia naturaleza prometía ser fuente de inspiración para una renovada y reforzada identidad nacional. Sumidos en una crisis finisecular que se dejó sentir en España con particular intensidad, muchos intelectuales se volvieron hacia el paisaje natural como fuente de curación y regeneración, en la esperanza de reverdecer una profunda, milenaria y orgánica relación del pueblo español con su solar natural.
Contemporary Ideas in a Traditional Mind-Set: The Nature Conservation Movement in Post War West-Germany (1945-1960)
Authors: Kirchhof Astrid Mignon
Published: March 2020

In winter 1947 the Association for the Protection of the German Forest was founded to prevent the eradication of the forest across Germany after suffering wartime destruction, overuse and firewood logging. Especially the occupying forces faced harsh criticism from the German people for their widespread deforestation even though it seems that the Allied Powers used the wood resources quite responsibly. This article argues that the uproar by nature conservationists, politicians and “normal people” reflected a German sense of powerlessness, and revealed images and convictions of the forest as a national symbol that was supposedly endangered in post-war Germany. These post-war discussions referred back to the discourse of the 19th century, when German intellectuals declared the forest to be the myth of the German people and developed a notion of “Heimat” that saw a close connection between nation and nature. The post-war discussions involved many of those images and convictions. Nevertheless, the discussions were not only retrospective: they also reacted to the contemporary political situation and adapted their answers and solutions accordingly. En el invierno de 1947, se fundó la Asociación para la Protección de los Bosques Alemanes  para prevenir  la destrucción de los bosques en Alemania después de la guerra,  la sobre-explotación y la extracción de leña. Especialmente las fuerzas de ocupación fueron duramente criticadas por el pueblo alemán por la deforestación que causaban, a pesar de que, al parecer, las autoridades alidas explotaban los recursos de madera responsablemente. El presente artículo postula que las quejas de los ambientalistas, políticos y “gente de a pie“ indicaban que el pueblo alemán se sentía impotente y sacaba a relucir imágenes e ideas de los bosques en tanto símbolos nacionales supuestamente en peligro en la Alemania de la posguerra. Estas discusiones de la posguerra reflejaban los discursos del siglo XIX con que los intelectuales alemanes elevaron los bosques a la categoría de mito representativo del pueblo alemán y desarrollaron en la idea de “Heimat” [“Patria”] una íntima conexión entre nación y naturaleza. Las discusiones de la posguerra trataron de muchas de esas imágenes e ideas decimonónicas pero no se limitaron a tener de ellas una mera visión retrospectiva, pues hicieron que respondieran a la situación política del momento y aportaran soluciones de acuerdo a la nueva coyuntura.

From The Enchantment of Nature to Fashioning a Persuasive Planetary Ethic
Authors: Bauman Whitney
Published: March 2020

Many discussions surrounding environmental ethics and spirituality revolve around enchantment and place.  Such notions are inherently marked by transcendent understandings of “religion” and “nature.” This article suggests that these transcendent understandings could be problematic in an era of globalization marked by movement and change.  Using the work of postmodern thinkers to destabilize foundational concepts of “Nature,” as well as the sacred, this article argues for fashioning a planetary ethic that pays attention to aesthetics of movement and change, moving environmental ethics from a discussion about place to a discussion about pace. Muchos debates sobre la ética ambiental y la espiritualidad giran alrededor del encanto y la localización. Tales nociones están intrínsecamente marcadas por la comprensión trascendente de "religión" y "naturaleza". En este artículo se sugiere que estas concepciones trascendentes podrían ser problemáticas en una época de globalización caracterizada por el movimiento y el cambio. Utilizando el trabajo de pensadores postmodernos para desestabilizar los conceptos fundacionales de la "Naturaleza", así como de lo sagrado, este artículo argumenta a favor de la configuración de una ética planetaria que presta atención a la estética de movimiento y cambio, cambiando la ética del medio ambiente de una discusión sobre el lugar a un discusión sobre el ritmo.
The Triumph of Eywa: Avatar, Pantheism, and the Sign of an Ecological Ecumene
Authors: Lioi Anthony
Published: March 2020

In an op-ed piece published in late 2009 in the New York Times, Ross Douthat claimed that James Cameron’s film Avatar was a piece of pantheist propaganda designed to encourage the worship of nature rather than God. In this essay, I critique Douthat’s claims as a misunderstanding of pantheism and a symptom of conservative Christian fear that environmentalism is crypto-paganism. I offer an alternative reading of Eywa, the film’s planetary intelligence, as a creature, a figure of the Christian goddess Natura; a descendant of literary paganism; and a sign of an incipient Christian environmental ecumene.    En un artículo de opinión publicado a finales de 2009 en el New York Times, Ross Douthat afirmó que la película de James Cameron, Avatar, era un ejemplo de propaganda panteísta diseñada para animar a la adoración de la naturaleza en vez de a Dios. En este ensayo, evalúo las afirmaciones de Douthat, clasificándolas como un malentendido sobre el panteísmo y como un síntoma del temor cristiano conservador de que el ambientalismo sea cripto-paganismo. Ofrezco una interpretación alternativa de Eywa, la inteligencia planetaria de la película, como una criatura, una figura de la diosa cristiana Natura, una descendiente del paganismo literario, y un indicio de una incipiente ecúmene ambiental cristiana.

The Postcolonial Picaro in Indra Sinha’s Animal’s People – Becoming Posthuman through Animal’s Eyes
Authors: Bartosch Roman
Published: March 2020

One of the effects of ecocritical scholarship can be seen in the questioning of postmodern attempts of a radical constructivism that understands the world as a discursive phenomenon and that opposes any notion of a 'reality' outside those discursive entanglements. In light of environmental crises in particular, to doubt an extradiscursive reality seems inappropriate. However, I will argue in this essay that narratives of catastrophe do follow specific dramatising rhetorics, and I will show how Indra Sinha's Animal's People questions and ultimately deconstructs these. By radically questioning the idea of a stable reality and authentic means to narrate it, postcolonial ecocriticism in general, and Animal's People in particular, engenders a sense of the tension between reality and representational ideology, and it enables a way of experiencing this conflict through the eyes of an ecological posthumanism.   Resumen   Uno de los efectos de la erudición ecocrítica puede ser visto en el cuestionamiento de los intentos postmodernos de un constructivismo radical que entiende el mundo como un fenómeno discursivo y que contrapone cualquier noción de una "realidad" fuera de dichos entresijos discursivos. Teniendo en cuenta la crisis ambiental en particular, dudar de una realidad extra-discursiva parece inapropiado. Sin embargo, expondré en este ensayo que las narrativas de la catástrofe siguen retóricas específicas y exageradas, asimismo mostraré como Animal's People de Indra Sinha cuestiona y en última instancia deconstruye las mismas. Por medio del cuestionamiento radical de la idea de una realidad estable y de medios verosímiles para narrarla, la ecocrítica poscolonial en general y Animal's People en particular, engendra una sensación de tensión entre la realidad y la ideología representacional y proporciona un medio para experimentar este conflicto a través de los ojos de un posthumanismo ecológico.
Der Mensch im Katastrophenuniversum. Zum Verhältnis von Historie, Naturgeschichte und Poetik im Frühwerk Arno Schmidts
Authors: Zbytovsky Stepan
Published: March 2020

Among the representations of nature in Arno Schmidt's early texts from the debut novel Leviathan towards his radio features, scenes of diverse loci terribili and destructive forces of nature take a prominent place. In several texts, natural processes and disasters are described as trigger or executor of the apocalypse. Analogous to the duality of the term 'natural catastrophe' - with reference to the extreme natural event itself and to the assessment of its impact on culture and civilization -, Schmidt linked in these literary images scientific data with mythological and other cultural patterns of interpretation. Starting from the concept of nature as Leviathan, Schmidt's view of nature can be traced, where the natural disasters are to be understood not as contingent accidents, but even as the defining moments of nature and natural history. These are by Schmidt closely interwoven not only with culture and human history, but become also a direct expression in his poetological programme. This article focuses on the connections between these three components in the context of German coming to terms the past and the discourse of cultural ecology (especially A. Goodbody, H. Zapf). Resumen Entre las representaciones de la naturaleza en los textos tempranos de Arno Schmidt (desde el cuento Leviathan hasta sus Features radiofónicos) las imágenes de diversos loci terribili y de las fuerzas destructivas ocupan un lugar importante. En algunos textos se describen los procesos de la naturaleza y las catástrofes como desencadenantes o ejecutores del acontecimiento apocalíptico. De forma análoga a la dualidad del concepto "catástrofe natural" - como referencia a los acontecimientos extremos de la naturaleza  y a la cualificación "dramatúrgica" de sus impactos sobre la cultura o la civilización - Arno Schmid asoció en estas imágenes literarias datos scientíficos tanto con la mitología como con otros patrones de interpretación cultural . Comenzando con el concepto de naturaleza como Leviathan, podemos trazar la visión de la naturaleza de Schmidt, en la que las catástrofes naturales no deben entenderse como accidentes contingentes, sino como momentos determinantes de la naturaleza y de su historia. Schmidt no sólo entrelaza naturaleza y su historia con la cultura y la historia humana, sino que también se convierten en la expresión directa en su programa poetológico. Este artículose se centra en las conexiones entre estos tres componentes en el contexto de la aceptación alemana de su pasado y del discurso de ecología cultural (sobre todo A. Goodbody, H. Zapf).

Climate Change Futures and the Imagination of the Global in Maeva! by Dirk C. Fleck
Authors: Mehnert Antonia
Published: March 2020

This article is aimed at making a contribution to the only recently emerging literary criticism of climate change fiction. Facing a global environmental disaster such as climate change requires a departure from an overemphasis on place in ecocriticism. Incorporating ideas from the concept of eco-cosmopolitanism can therefore be helpful for the analysis of literary works dealing with global warming, opening up new planetary perspectives. However, while many climate change novels fall short of engaging with the global, D. Fleck’s Maeva! serves as a counter-example from German science fiction. This article therefore explores the ways in which Fleck’s novel embraces an “eco-cosmopolitan manifesto” as a political vision of dealing with the climatically changed world of tomorrow while showing that this thereby newly created “space” is contested and fragile as interests between the local and the global have to be constantly re-negotiated. Finally, this article also discusses Fleck’s innovative textual approach, which can be read as an attempt at imagineering—creating a manual for critical intervention derived from creative ideas.   Resumen      Este articulo trata de hacer una contribución a la recientemente surgida crítica literaria de novelas de ficción sobre cambio climático. Hacer frente a un desastre global del medioambiente como el cambio climático requiere alejarse del excesivo énfasis en lo “local” de la ecocrítica. Incorporar ideas del concepto eco-cosmopolitismo podría ser útil en el análisis de obras literarias sobre calentamiento global, desarrollando nuevas perspectivas planetarias. Sin embargo, muchas novelas sobre cambio climático han sido criticadas por no incluir la perspectiva global. Maeva!, del autor alemán de ciencia ficción Dirk Fleck, es uno de los pocos contraejemplos. Por ello, este artículo analiza cómo la novela incluye un “manifiesto eco-cosmopolita” como visión política para proceder en el mundo del mañana, cuyo clima va a cambiar, mientras muestra que ese nuevo “espacio” creado es disputado y frágil a medida que los intereses entre lo local y lo global tienen que ser renegociados continuamente. Finalmente, este artículo también explora el enfoque textual innovativo de Fleck, que pueden leerse como un intento de imagineering – creando un manual para la intervención crítica que se deriva de ideas creativas.

Excerpt from Night Fitties // Fragmento de Night Fitties
Authors: Tucker Judith , Tarlo Harriet
Published: March 2020

We have worked since 2013 on and with a contested coastal community on one of the U.K.'s last existing plotlands, the Humberston Fitties in North East Lincolnshire.  Here, since between the wars, local people and visitors have erected their diverse dwellings, in order to enjoy the simple, restorative pleasures of seaside life. This painting and poems are from the series Night Fitties They explore the play of light and dark and the uncanny transformations of the chalets that take place after hours as well as notions of vulnerability, occupation and emptiness. The work considers, in the shadow of recent dramatic political changes, how notions of place and identity are constructed on domestic and larger scales, as reflected by the play on flags and other indications of Englishness. Our cross-disciplinary collaborative practice between poetry and visual art explores open, environmentally-aware engagements and methodologies with landscape and place. We investigate the relation of social, environmental and energy politics on micro and macro scales, looking out to land and sea and back to the community. We are interested in the effects of radical open form text and paintings presented innovatively together and how this challenges audiences' assumptions. Resumen     Hemos trabajado desde 2013 y con una disputada comunidad costera en uno de los últimos asentamientos temporales existentes en Reino Unido, los Humberston Fitties, al noreste de Lincolnshire.

Esta pintura y poemas son de la serie Night Fitties. Exploran el juego de luces y sombras y las insólitas transformaciones de los chalets que tienen lugar después de hora, así como nociones de vulnerabilidad, ocupación y vacío. El trabajo considera, a la sombra de los dramáticos cambios políticos recientes, cómo las nociones de lugar e identidad se construyen a escala doméstica y a mayor escala, tal y como refleja el juego con las banderas y otras indicaciones de lo que es ser inglés. Nuestra práctica colaborativa interdisciplinar entre poesía y arte visual explora compromisos y metodologías con el paisaje y el lugar que son abiertos y medioambientalmente conscientes. Investigamos las políticas energéticas, sociales y medioambientales a menor y mayor escala, volviendo la vista hacia la tierra y al mar y de vuelta a la comunidad. Nos interesan los efectos de presentar juntos e innovadoramente textos de forma abierta y pinturas, y cómo esto desafía las suposiciones de la audiencia.

Inventing a Vegetal Post-Exotic in the Work of Antoine Volodine
Authors: Stamm Gina
Published: March 2020

The physical environment plays a key role in the writing of Antoine Volodine, and in that of his “post-exotic” pen name authors. The ruins of human construction and the unwelcoming landscape of the post-apocalyptic world contribute to this literature’s bleak and menacing atmosphere. The ongoing catastrophe portrayed in Volodine’s work is equally environmental, human and political.  This article will focus on the environment as agent and as a victim of violence, especially in the novels Terminus radieux [Radiant Terminus] and Herbes et golems [“Herbs and Golems”], and attend to what a specifically literary post-exotic engagement with the environment would look like. In addition to investing the floral with agency, the literary production itself acts as a form of political resistance that is dependent on one’s relationship with that world.  Volodine applies his extensive power of invention as a linguist to naming herbs as a reparative and political act. The collective of post-exotic writers takes the side of the wild herbs they name and gives a voice to them by creating a place for them in literature. Questions driving my analysis of the vegetal post-exotic in Volodine’s work include: Can resistance take place without solidarity with the environment, and what would that solidarity look like? What communication can one have with the natural environment in the post-exotic mode that follows the cataclysm? Can one speak in the place of plants or other non-human agents? How must language change both what it is telling and how it tells it in a world in which disaster has already occurred and humans are only one of many agents who must contend with its aftermath?

Sau khi về cơ bản dập tắt phong trào Cần Vương, từ cuối thế kỷ XIX, người Pháp bắt đầu tiến hành điều tra tất cả các khu vực địa lý trên toàn lãnh thổ Việt Nam để làm cơ sở cho việc xây dựng chính sách cai trị phù hợp với từng địa bàn. Vị trí chiến lược về địa chính trị - địa quân sự, nguồn tài nguyên phong phú, và sự đa dạng về tộc người ở Tây Nguyên đã tạo ra sức hút mạnh mẽ không chỉ đối với nhà cầm quyền thực dân mà còn đối với giới học giả thuộc nhiều lĩnh vực học thuật khác nhau. Cho đến nay, mặc dù đã có nhiều học giả quan tâm đến lịch sử vùng đất Tây Nguyên thời thuộc địa (đặc biệt là cụm các công trình về lịch sử Đảng bộ và Dư địa chí các địa phương) nhưng các nghiên cứu này chủ yếu tập trung mô tả chính sách bóc lột của người Pháp và lịch sử đấu tranh cách mạng của các dân tộc thiểu số dưới sự lãnh đạo của Đảng. Trên cơ sở phân tích hệ thống văn bản pháp quy của Toàn quyền Đông Dương, Quốc trưởng Bảo Đại, và tổng hợp những nghiên cứu liên quan, tác giả bài viết này hy vọng sẽ góp phần làm rõ thêm về quá trình thiết lập hệ thống chính quyền, tổ chức sắp xếp các đơn vị hành chính cấp tỉnh, và chính sách dân tộc của thực dân Pháp đối với các dân tộc thiểu số ở Tây Nguyên.

Published: March 2020

The regioselective C–H arylation of substituted polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is a desired but challenging task. A copper-catalyzed C7–H arylation of 1-naphthamides has been developed by using aryliodonium salts as arylating reagents. This protocol does not need to use precious metal catalysts and tolerates wide variety of functional groups. Under standard conditions, the remote C–H arylation of other PAHs including phenanthrene-9-carboxamide, pyrene-1-carboxamide and fluoranthene-3-carboxamide has also accomplished, which provides an opportunity for the development of diverse organic optoelectronic materials.

Three-dimensional reconstruction based on the results of video endoscopic examination is a promising area for supporting medical diagnostics and treatment planning for a wide range of pathologies. Nevertheless, the assessment of the results of such reconstruction and verification of the correspondence of the obtained three-dimensional model to the original scene is significantly challenging. As a solution to this problem, the possibility of using a modelling environment to emulate the process of obtaining source video endoscopic data from the generated scene is suggested. The problem of three-dimensional modelling of the esophagus using the Autodesk 3ds Max environment and the Arnold visualization engine is considered. The paper describes the procedural generation of textures for the model and proposes the using Periodic Spatial Generative Adversarial Network models based on convolutional neural networks. To compare the result of  reconstruction with a scene, generated using the proposed modelling environment, an optimality criterion is introduced, by which the individual stages of the three-dimensional reconstruction algorithm are compared when the model is optimized using the bundle adjustment method.
Analysis of retrial queue with heterogeneous servers and Markovian arrival process
Authors: Liu Mei
Published: March 2020

Multi-server retrial queueing system with heterogeneous servers is analyzed. Requests arrive to the system according to the Markovian arrival process. Arriving primary requests and requests retrying from orbit occupy an available server with the highest service rate, if there is any available server. Otherwise, the requests move to the orbit having an infinite capacity. The total retrial rate infinitely increases when the number of requests in orbit increases. Service periods have exponential distribution. Behavior of the system is described by multi-dimensional continuous-time Markov chain which belongs to the class of asymptotically quasi-toeplitz Markov chains. This allows to derive simple and transparent ergodicity condition and compute the stationary probabilities distribution of chain states. Presented numerical results illustrate the dynamics of some system effectiveness indicators and the importance of considering of correlation in the requests arrival process.

A generative adversarial autoencoder for the rational design of potential HIV-1 entry inhibitors able to block the region of the viral envelope protein gp120 critical for the virus binding to cellular receptor CD4 was developed using deep learning methods. The research were carried out to create the  architecture of the neural network, to form  virtual compound library of potential anti-HIV-1 agents for training the neural network, to make  molecular docking of all compounds from this library with gp120, to  calculate the values of binding free energy, to generate molecular fingerprints for chemical compounds from the training dataset. The training the neural network was implemented followed by estimation of the learning outcomes and work of the autoencoder.  The validation of the neural network on a wide range of compounds from the ZINC database was carried out. The use of the neural network in combination with virtual screening of chemical databases was shown to form a productive platform for identifying the basic structures promising for the design of novel antiviral drugs that inhibit the early stages of HIV infection.

Psycho-correction of post-stress psychologic maladaptation in combatants with vision injuries: rationale, content, effectiveness
Authors: Abdriahimov R. A.
Published: March 2020

Background. Frequency eye injuries occupy a significant place in the structure of modern combat trauma. In a situation of partial loss of vision due to injury in battle, there is an effect on the mental sphere of several powerful stressful factors that affect the formation of specific manifestations of post-stress psychological maladaptation.

Objective – to develop and determine the effectiveness of a short-term program of psycho-corrective measures in the system of medical and psychological support of combatants with eye trauma and partial vision loss in conjunction with post-stress psychological maladaptation (PPM).

Materials and methods. With informed consent, 91 combatants were surveyed. Of these, 49 were with eye trauma and partial vision loss with PPD; 42 – PPM phenomena. We used such research methods as clinical-psychopathological, psychodiagnostic, psychometric and statistical.

Results. The study found that the application of the developed program of psycho-corrective measures to participants with eye trauma and partial loss of vision against the background of PPM phenomena can achieve a significant improvement in their mental status. This is confirmed by changes in the indicator indicators of the relevance of manifestations of maladaptation, coping strategies and the structure of psychological protection, frustration response and the level of quality of life.

Conclusions. The changes achieved in the process of psychocorrection in participants with eye trauma and partial loss of vision against the background of PPM phenomena were significantly significant compared with the participants, who are characterized by manifestations of PPM without an eye injury. Changes achieved by the use of psychocorrection did not reach for some indicators of the normative levels. This indicates the presence of manifestations associated with the consequences of somatic trauma and for their correction, the restructuring of life experience in the face of changes in personal capabilities is necessary.

Gold Standard of Symptomatic treatment in Parkinson disease: Carbidopa / Levodopa
Authors: Pathan Aslam , Alshahrani Abdulrahman
Published: March 2020

Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most common neurologic disorders, affecting approximately 1% of individuals older than 60 years and causing progressive disability that can be slowed but not halted, by treatment. The goal of the medical management of Parkinson's disease is to provide control of signs and symptoms for as long as possible while minimizing adverse effects. Levodopa coupled with a peripheral decarboxylase inhibitor (PDI), such as carbidopa, remains the gold standard of symptomatic treatment of motor features of Parkinson's disease. It provides the greatest antiparkinsonian benefit with the fewest adverse effects in the short term. However, its long-term use is associated with the development of fluctuations and dyskinesias. This review article is written to summarize the clinical and pharmacological data of carbidopa and levodopa which will be helpful to neurologists and physicians.
