Influencing Factors of Negative Motivation in College Students’ English Learning Relying on the Artificial Neural Network Algorithm
Authors: Liu Ping
Published: October 2022

College English has received increasing focus as an important part of the education system. However, the continuous development of English instruction has not simultaneously promoted students’ positive learning motivation for English courses. The generation and growth of negative motivation have become a common problem among college students. Students’ enthusiasm for learning English courses is gradually fading and teachers’ teaching value has also become difficult to guarantee, which seriously affects the normal and orderly progress of education and teaching activities. Therefore, it is very important for the healthy development of English teaching to understand and study the affecting elements of negative motivation in English learning of university students and to provide scientific and effective suggestions for teachers and learners to establish a good teaching and learning attitude. Relying on the interpretation of a negative motivation theory, this paper studies various influencing factors by means of the artificial neural network algorithm. The principal component analysis method is introduced to improve the traditional BP algorithm in terms of the frequency of iterations and the length of computation time, which realizes the accurate and efficient analysis of college students’ English learning data. The results of the analysis revealed that the comprehensive error of this algorithm in the analysis of influencing factors was in the range of 0.004 to 0.012. Through the calculation of the eigenvalues and cumulative contribution rate of negative motivation influencing factors, it is found that factors such as the curriculum setting, teaching method, and teacher-student relationship have the greatest influence on students’ negative motivation in English learning. The eigenvalues were 1.027, 1.319, and 1.422, respectively. The cumulative contribution rate reached 64.57%, 26.11%, and 23.62%, respectively. From this aspect, it is necessary to improve these aspects in order to eliminate the negative motivation of learning.

Published: October 2022

Head and neck cancer is the sixth most frequent cancer all over the world, with the majority of subtypes of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Cellular senescence-associated genes have been confirmed to play a critical role in cancer and have the potential to be prognostic biomarkers for cancer. Clinical information of HNSCC samples and expression data were acquired from public databases. Expression profiles of genes related to cellular senescence were used to identify molecular subtypes by consensus clustering. To screen differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between different subtypes, differential analysis was performed. We used the univariate Cox regression to identify prognostic DEGs and performed least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) to optimize and construct a prognostic model. CIBERSORT, ESTIMATE, and TIDE tools were applied to estimate immune characteristics. Four molecular subtypes were established based on cellular senescence-associated genes. Differential prognosis was observed among different subtypes with C4 having the longest overall survival and C1 having the worst prognosis. C4 subtype also showed the highest immune infiltration. We screened a total of eight cellular senescence prognosis-related genes and established a cellular senescence-related signature score (CSRS.Score) that could stratify samples into high-CSRS.Score and low-CSRS.Score groups. The high-CSRS.Score group had worse prognosis, lower immune infiltration, and lower response to immunotherapy. We further improved the prognostic model and survival prediction by combining CSRS.Score with clinicopathological features using a decision tree model, which had high predictive accuracy and survival prediction. This study demonstrated an important role of cellular senescence in HNSCC. The identified eight cellular senescence-associated genes have the potential to provide ideas for adjuvant treatment and personalized treatment of HNSCC patients.

Purpose. This study is a comparison of the effects of temporary restorative materials (PRMs) on the color change that occurs due to the use of different mouthwash solutions in two time periods. Material and Methods. One hundred fifty disc-shaped specimens (10 mm × 2 mm) were fabricated with three PRMs chemically polymerized PMMA (Imident-I), chemically polymerized bisacrylic composite resin (Acrytemp-A), and CAD/CAM PMMA-based polymer (TelioCAD-T) according to manufacturers’ instruction and using a CAD/CAM milling system (n = 10).

values of specimens were recorded before immersion. Samples were immersed in solutions (Distilled water-DW, Kloroben-CHX, Listerine Advanced White-LAW, Listerine Total Care-TC, and Listerine Zero-TCZ) in two time periods (t1, t2). Color measurements of the samples were made with the help of a spectrophotometer before and after they were removed in mouthwashes (VITA Easyshade V). Results. According to the statistical analysis results, significant differences were observed between the results obtained in our study. The highest roughness values in ΔE1 were seen in A-LAW (1.83) and the lowest in T-DW (0.61). In ΔE2, the highest roughness values were observed in I-LAW (2.70), and the lowest in T-DW (1.05). ΔE values of all obtained groups were found within clinically acceptable limits (ΔE < 3.7). Conclusions. The content of temporary restorative materials, the production technique, the type of mouthwash, and the immersion time of the restoration affect the color stability. Mouthwash with a whitening effect caused the most discoloration. Among the temporary restorative materials, it was the CAD/CAM material that best preserved its color stability.

The Causes and Control Measures of Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase Producing Enterobacteriaceae in Long-Term Care Facilities: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Sule Ismaila Olatunji , Mendelsohn Aaron , Panas Raymond M
Published: October 2022

Background

Due to extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-PE), infections among residents are increasing in long-term care facilities (LTCFs), resulting in a high rate of morbidity and healthcare costs. A designated infection control team is unavailable to control the disease.

Methods

A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to characterize the causes of ESBL-PE and evaluate the infection control strategies within LTCFs. Multiple regression analysis (MRA) was included as supplementary statistical analysis to identify relationships between LTCFs, geographical locations, infection control measures (ICMs), and ESBL-PE. A systematic search was conducted for studies from January 2008 to December 2018. Twenty-two of the 3106 studies met the inclusion criteria.

Results

The pooled prevalence for ESBL-PE among LTCFs residents was a mean difference (MD) of 15.78 (95% CI: 0.04, 31.53). Risk factors included the influence of regional areas was a standardized mean difference (SMD) of 0.61(95% CI: 0.32, 0.91) in Europe, SMD was 14.92 (95% CI: 9.17, 20.68) in Asia, and SMD was 0.51(95% CI: 0.35, 0.67) in other regions (North America and Australia). Nine of 22 studies reported ICMs were MD of 13.59 (95% CI: 5.32, 21.86).

Conclusions

Meta-analysis and MRA revealed a statistically significant association between LTCF and ESBL-PE among residents ( p = .05). Strict adherence to infection control measures in LTCFs is needed to address this ESBL-PE prevalence among residents. The potential positive social change is promoting knowledge about vulnerable residents in LTCFs and the community factors responsible for ESBL infection.
Transition in eye gaze as a predictor of emergence from general anesthesia in children and adults: a prospective observational study
Authors: Kinoshita Michiko , Sakai Yoko , Katome Kimiko , Matsumoto Tomomi , Sakurai Shizuka , Jinnouchi Yuka , Tanaka Katsuya
Published: October 2022

Background

It is useful to monitor eye movements during general anesthesia, but few studies have examined neurological finding of the eyes during emergence from general anesthesia maintained with short-acting opioids and volatile anesthetics.

Methods

Thirty children aged 1–6 years and 30 adults aged 20–79 years were enrolled. Patients received general anesthesia maintained with sevoflurane and remifentanil. The timing of three physical-behavioral responses—eye-gaze transition (the cycle from conjugate to disconjugate and back to conjugate), resumption of somatic movement (limbs or body), and resumption of respiration—were recorded until spontaneous awakening. The primary outcome measure was the timing of the physical-behavioral responses. Secondary outcome measures were the incidence of eye-gaze transition, and the bispectral index, concentration of end-tidal sevoflurane, and heart rate at the timing of eye-gaze transition.

Results

Eye-gaze transition was evident in 29 children (96.7%; 95% confidence interval, 82.8–99.9). After the end of surgery, eye-gaze transition was observed significantly earlier than resumption of somatic movement or respiration (472 [standard deviation 219] s, 723 [235] s, and 754 [232] s, respectively; p < 0.001). In adults, 3 cases (10%; 95% CI, 0.2–26.5) showed eye-gaze transition during emergence from anesthesia. The incidence of eye-gaze transition was significantly lower in adults than in children (p < 0.001).

Conclusion

In children, eye-gaze transition was observed significantly earlier than other physical-behavioral responses during emergence from general anesthesia and seemed to reflect emergence from anesthesia. In contrast, observation of eye gaze was not a useful indicator of emergence from anesthesia in adults.

Published: October 2022

Background

This study aimed to investigate the predictive values of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) myometrial thickness grading and dark intraplacental band (DIB) volumetry for blood loss in patients with placenta accreta spectrum (PAS).

Methods

Images and clinical data were acquired from patients who underwent placenta MRI examinations and were diagnosed with PAS from March 2015 to January 2021. Two radiologists jointly diagnosed, processed, and analysed the MR images of each patient. The analysis included MRI-based determination of placental attachment, as well as myometrial thickness grading and DIB volumetry. The patients included in the study were divided into three groups according to the estimated blood loss volume: in the general blood loss (GBL) group, the estimated blood loss volume was < 1000 ml; in the massive blood loss (MBL) group, the estimated blood loss volume was ≥ 1000 ml and < 2000 ml; and in the extremely massive blood loss (ex-MBL) group, the estimated blood loss volume was ≥ 2000 ml. The categorical, normally distributed, and non-normally distributed data were respectively analysed by the Chi-square, single-factor analysis of variance, and Kruskal–Wallis tests, respectively. The verification of correlation was completed by Spearman correlation analysis. The evaluation capabilities of indicators were assessed using receiver operating characteristic curves.

Results

Among 75 patients, 25 were included in the GBL group, 26 in the MBL group, and 24 in the ex-MBL group. A significant negative correlation was observed between the grade of myometrial thickness and the estimated blood loss (P < 0.001, ρ = − 0.604). There was a significant positive correlation between the volume of the DIB and the estimated blood loss (P < 0.001, ρ = 0.653). The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the two MRI features for predicting blood loss ≥ 2000 ml were 0.776 and 0.897, respectively.

Conclusions

The grading and volumetric MRI features, myometrial thickness, and volume of DIB, can be used as good prediction indicators of the risk of postpartum haemorrhage in patients with PAS.
Feed tossing behaviour of Holstein cows: evaluation of physiological stress state and rumen fermentation function
Authors: Sun Fuyu , Zhao Qingyao , Chen Xiaoyang , Zhao Guangyong , Gu Xianhong
Published: October 2022

Background

Abnormal or stereotyped behaviours in dairy cows are common in large-scale indoor farms and are usually accompanied by high physiological stress levels. Feed tossing is an abnormal behaviour commonly seen in cows while being fed, making farm management difficult. However, the reasons behind this behaviour have not been sufficiently reported. The objective of this study was to explore the changes in rumen fermentation, serum indicators, inflammatory conditions and the performance of cows with feed tossing behaviour. Holstein cows with similar lactation stages in the same barn were subjected to behaviour observations two times per day for 21 consecutive days. Ten cows with feed tossing behaviour (FT) and ten cows without abnormal behaviours (CON) were selected for further sampling. Plasma samples, rumen fluid, milk yield data of cows, and an indoor environment temperature-humidity index (THI) were collected.

Results

There was no significant difference in average daily milk yield during the observation period between feed-tossing cows (n = 68) and the other cows (n = 112). The number of cows showing FT behaviour had a moderately strong negative linear correlation with the THI of the environment. Compared to the CON cows, the FT cows had higher cortisol, norepinephrine and urea nitrogen levels in plasma, as well as higher plasma levels of inflammatory indicators, including total protein, lactate dehydrogenase, albumin, aspartate aminotransferase levels, and the ratio of aspartate aminotransferase to alanine aminotransferase. The FT cows had no significant variations from the CON cows regarding their rumen fermentation indicators, such as pH, ammonia nitrogen, and volatile fatty acids. In addition, 16S rRNA analysis revealed that there might be no clear association between the diversity and abundance of rumen bacteria and feed tossing behaviour.

Conclusions

Our findings suggested that cows might have suffered from high levels of physiological stress and immune state for a long period when they exhibited FT behaviour. The environmental THI could affect the FT behaviour of cows; as the THI increases, the willingness of cows to throw decreases. This work provided the first evidence that feed tossing might be a response associated with high levels of physiological stress and immune. It also explored our insights into a commonly observed behavioural response to cow welfare traits.
A case of death of patient with ovarian fibroma combined with Meigs Syndrome and literature review
Authors: Tan Na , Jin Kai-yuan , Yang Xiao-rong , Li Cheng-fang , Yao Jin , Zheng Hong
Published: October 2022

Ovarian fibroma is the most common benign pure stromal tumor. It has no specific clinical manifestation, most of which are pelvic or adnexal masses. 10-15% of cases with hydrothorax or ascites, after tumor resection, hydrothorax and ascites disappear, known as Meigs Syndrome. The elevated level of CA125 in a few patients was easily misdiagnosed as ovarian malignant tumor. A case of bilateral Ovarian fibroma associated with Meigs Syndrome is reported and the literature is reviewed in order to improve the understanding of the changes and avoid misdiagnosis.

Published: October 2022

Background

Despite being one of the most prevalent helminth parasitic zoonoses worldwide and particularly in socioeconomically vulnerable populations, toxocariasis remains to be fully investigated in persons experiencing homelessness. Accordingly, the present study has aimed to assess the seroprevalence and associated risk factors ofToxocaraspp. exposure in persons experiencing homelessness and shelter workers from a day-shelter in São Paulo city, Brazil.

Methods

Anti-ToxocaraIgG antibodies were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Univariable and multivariable logistic regression models were performed to assess the risks for toxocariasis.

Results

Overall, anti-ToxocaraIgG antibodies were detected in 89/194 (45.9%, 95% CI: 39.0–52.9%) persons experiencing homelessness, twice as high (OR = 2.2; 95% CI = 1.245–3.873;P = 0.0089) than the frequency of 22/79 (27.8%, 95% CI: 19.2–38.6) in shelter workers. College education was the only protective factor forToxocaraspp.exposure (OR: 0.23;P = 0.018) revealed by logistic regression.

Conclusions

Although indicating a multifactorial origin of toxocariasis, the present study has assessed a highly vulnerable population with high disease risks and premature death. Thus, the living conditions of the homeless population have influenced the high prevalence of anti-Toxocaraantibodies verified here compared with domiciled shelter workers. Despite being less exposed, shelter and other outdoor workers may present an occupational risk to toxocariasis. Future studies should establish whether such environmental exposure might occur in persons experiencing homelessness in other regions worldwide.

Graphical Abstract
Progressive flexor tendon sheath infection on hand after needle puncture during surgery: a case report
Authors: Sutardi Gregorius Batara Putra Setia , Chaidir De Is M. Rizal , Ismiarto Yoyos Dias
Published: October 2022

Introduction

Flexor tendon sheath infection may be due to trauma, laceration, or bites, commonly directly inoculating the sheath. Kanavel cardinal signs in flexor tendon sheath infection cases consist of symmetrical swelling of the entire digit, a digit with semi-flexed posture, exquisite tenderness along the course of the tendon sheath, and pain with attempted passive extension of the digit. Elevated levels of inflammation markers such as white blood cell count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and C-reactive protein are often found in such cases. Flexor tendon sheath infections require immediate diagnosis and treatment to prevent poor clinical outcomes. This paper reports one case of severe flexor tendon sheath infection with poor outcomes that required ray amputation of the affected finger.

Case presentation

A 35-year-old Sundanese male presented to the emergency department with right middle finger pain accompanied with swelling, blister, and blackened color 24 hours after accidental puncture by suture needle during gynecologic surgery. The patient was a resident physician of the obstetrics/gynecology department. The finger was necrotic with blisters at the proximal phalanx of the palmar aspect. Both the palmar and the dorsal aspects of the hand were swollen and inflamed, with firmer swelling on the dorsal part. The necrotic area had extended to the middle phalanx. The patient has been diagnosed with flexor tendon sheath infection with compartment syndrome. Immediate surgical debridement and fasciotomy with shoelace technique at the distal interphalangeal joint were performed. On the initial presentation, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, white blood cell count, and C-reactive protein were elevated. Smear culture was negative. A clear boundary of necrosis at the level of the middle phalanx of the right middle finger was found; subsequently, disarticulation at the level of the distal phalanx was performed. A ray amputation was performed to preserve the hand’s function for performing surgeries in the future.

Conclusion

Prompt diagnosis and treatment of flexor tendon sheath infection are required to prevent complications. Progressive inflammation around infected soft tissue due to untreated tenosynovitis may lead to poor outcomes and may lead to the amputation of the affected finger. This condition may occur even in medical professionals; as such, awareness for proper protection during any medical procedure and prompt treatment-seeking are encouraged.
A wearable low profile asymmetrical slotted ultra-wide band antenna for WBAN applications
Authors: Jayakumar S. , Mohanbabu G.
Published: October 2022

In this article a low profile asymmetrical slotted Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) antenna is proposed for Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) applications. The antenna was fabricated using Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). An improved radiation pattern was obtained with an optimized patch shape of the antenna that broadens the bandwidth and lowers the antenna’s profile. The proposed antenna is simulated in HFSS and CST Simulator, and the proposed antenna is fabricated on FR4 substrate with the reduced ground plane. In frequency ranges from 2.50 to 10.97 GHz simulation as well as measured results show that the reflection coefficient (S11) of the antenna is below − 10 dB and increased impedance bandwidth of 126%. The proposed antenna has desired radiation pattern and gain for wearable application. The wearable performance of proposed antenna on chest, leg, and the arms of the human body is analyzed with Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The maximum value of the SAR is 0.785 W/Kg which is less than threshold value of 1.6 W/kg. The time-domain behavior of proposed antenna is investigated with the time domain parameters such as Group delay, Fidelity factor and Mean realized gain. The time domain results are evident for the proposed antenna is capable of pulse signal transmission and reception.
The added value of MDCT enterography using oral lactulose solution in detection, characterization, and guiding management of small bowel disorders
Authors: Ali Mohamed Shokrey , Sadek Ahmed Galal , Omran Eman Fouad , Maher Maha Mohamed , Helmy Eman Mohamed
Published: October 2022

Background

Small bowel variable symptoms present a diagnostic challenge for both gastroenterologists and radiologists due to SI length, overlapping serpentine course and continuous motility. CT enterography was introduced in the last two decades as the cornerstone imaging modality in diagnosing small bowel disorders using a mixture of an oral solution containing water and a gastrointestinal diluting agent. This study aims to demonstrate the added value of MDCTE in evaluating and guiding the management of small bowel disorders in order to reduce SI-related morbidity and mortality.

Results

Data analysis of 80 patient records involved in this study demonstrated the high accuracy of MDCTE in detecting different small bowel disorders and their related pathologies, confirmed by laboratory and histopathological analyses.

Conclusions

MDCT enterography with oral lactulose solution is now the mainstay of imaging in the detection, characterization, and guiding management of small bowel disorders with great value of low-dose techniques in CD patient’s follow-up in order to reduce ionizing radiation exposure.
Toward a “Prodigious Revival of French Economics”? Allais, Debreu, and the Dead Loss Controversy (1943–51)
Authors: Fèvre Raphaël , Mueller Thomas Michael
Published: October 2022

This article aims to trace the hitherto little-known controversy involving Maurice Allais, François Divisia, Harold Hotelling, and Gérard Debreu in the immediate postwar years. The controversy turned on “dead loss,” a measure of the maximum value of available surplus serving as a gauge of economic efficiency and social welfare. The protagonists argued about how it should be expressed mathematically, the hypothesis underpinning it, and its general significance. The paper draws heavily on unpublished materials (letters and notes) to unfold the different stages of the dead loss controversy and shows that it was driven by an intricate interlacing of technical advances in welfare economics with Allais's personal ambition to spearhead the revival of French economics. Eventually, this controversy (and the tense exchange between Allais and Debreu that came with it) proved a remarkable—although tacit—driving force behind Debreu's contributions of the early 1950s.
A Poetics of Embeddedness: J. M. Coetzee’s Dissertation on Beckett
Authors: Farrant Marc
Published: October 2022

J. M. Coetzee’s 1969 dissertation on Samuel Beckett, which remains unpublished, has been addressed variously within Coetzee studies, but we have not yet appreciated the close relation between this extraordinary postgraduate work and Coetzee’s later fiction. This is partly because Coetzee later distanced himself both from Beckett and from the mathematics important to his dissertation but seemingly at odds with his later creative practice as a novelist. In this essay I provide an account of the literary-critical and literary-historical context of Coetzee’s postgraduate research. Rarely have we seen an instance where one major writer is both a major influence on another but also the subject of that other’s rigorous academic study. From the infertile soil of the field of stylostatistics, this essay aims to trace the unlikely flowering of Coetzee’s doctoral work in his later writings and in the development of what I term a poetics of embeddedness. Coetzee’s early work as a forerunner in the digital humanities, and his writings on form, style, and linguistic skepticism, also shed light on contemporary debates about postcritique and the possibility of politically committed literature.

Published: October 2022

Purpose

This study aimed to investigate whether a reduction in daily sedentary behavior (SB) improves insulin sensitivity in adults with metabolic syndrome in 6 months, without adding intentional exercise training.

Methods

Sixty-four sedentary inactive middle-age adults with overweight and metabolic syndrome (mean (SD) age, 58 (7) yr; mean (SD) body mass index, 31.6 (4.3) kg·m−2; 27 men) were randomized into intervention and control groups. The 6-month individualized behavioral intervention supported by an interactive accelerometer and a mobile application aimed at reducing daily SB by 1 h compared with baseline. Insulin sensitivity by hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp, body composition by air displacement plethysmography, and fasting blood samples were analyzed before and after the intervention. SB and physical activity were measured with hip-worn accelerometers throughout the intervention.

Results

SB decreased by 40 (95% confidence interval, 17–65) min·d−1, and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity increased by 20 (95% confidence interval, 11–28) min·d−1 on average in the intervention group with no significant changes in these outcomes in the control group. After 6 months, fasting plasma insulin decreased (~1 mU·L−1) in the intervention group compared with the control group (time–group, P = 0.0081), but insulin sensitivity did not change in either group. The changes in body mass or adiposity did not differ between groups. Among all participants, the changes in SB and body mass correlated inversely with the change in insulin sensitivity (r = −0.31, −0.44; P = 0.025, 0.0005, respectively).

Conclusions

An intervention aimed at reducing daily SB resulted in slightly decreased fasting insulin, but had no effects on insulin sensitivity or body adiposity. However, as the change in insulin sensitivity associated with the changes in SB and body mass, multifaceted interventions targeting to weight loss are likely to be beneficial in improving whole-body insulin sensitivity.

As fronteiras entre o popular e o massivo na teoria cultural da folkcomunicação.
Authors: Franco Castelo Bruna , Carvalho Branco
Published: October 2022

O presente artigo tem por objetivo principal explorar detalhadamente, e de modo exclusivamente bibliográfico, a teoria da Folkcomunicação (Beltrão, 2004), pertencente ao ramo das Ciências Sociais e Humanas, alinhada, sobretudo, com as Ciências da Comunicação; e que possui sua origem genuinamente brasileira, ao ter sido fundada e desenvolvida pelo jornalista e escritor brasileiro Luiz Beltrão durante a década de 1960. A característica da sua procedência brasileira é, portanto, a principal motivação e justificativa para a realização de uma pesquisa bibliográfica aprofundada sobre a referida teoria, com o intuito de dar a conhecer os principais interesses e fundamentos desta formulação, conceito e disciplina, que se comporta como teoria cultural dedicada a compreender a complexa e estreita relação da cultura popular com os meios de comunicação de massa (Breguez, 2013). O universo folkmidiático contempla a cultura em sua completude, dando a notar a extensa complexidade dos elementos, manifestações e desenhos culturais possíveis no mundo contemporâneo (Marques de Melo, 2008). Ao fazer uso de uma gama investigativa de material científico, que aborda conceitos, processos e perspectivas facilitadores de uma compreensão da teoria brasileira de Luiz Beltrão da Folkcomunicação em seu aspecto amplo, geral e completo, compreendemos que os processos históricos e a inegável realidade da dinamicidade coletiva refletem numa constante metamorfose de interesses, empirias, práticas e investigações (Maciel, 2013), que contribuem para uma permanente e recorrente atualização de estudos e conceitos científicos.
Spectacularization in the print media: analysis of specialized radio magazines.
Authors: Adami Antonio
Published: October 2022

El artículo tiene como objetivo analizar la espectacularización en las revistas de radio en Brasil en las décadas de 1920, 1930, 1940 y 1950. Con esa base teórica, se utilizó el método cualitativo para la recolección de datos, por sus características que se encuadran en la temática de trabajo de rescate histórico de la comunicación, particularmente del medio impreso. Optamos por la investigación cualitativa porque tiene pasos únicos en el análisis de datos y hace uso de diferentes estrategias de investigación. Los procedimientos cualitativos muestran diferentes perspectivas y pensamos en los efectos de los medios en este contexto. La investigación se llevó a cabo en el Museu da Imagem e do Som, Arquivo Público y Biblioteca Mário de Andrade en São Paulo y también en la Biblioteca Nacional de Río de Janeiro, entre otros centros. El problema de investigación radica en los efectos que este tipo de producción provoca en la sociedad y como resultado concluimos que las revistas iban mejorando en calidad editorial pero, con un enfoque central en la farándula y el mercado, llevó a la banalización de la cultura, la generalización de la frivolidad y el periodismo escandaloso, que lamentablemente persiste en los medios hasta el día de hoy. La investigación contribuyó a comprender que la radio y las revistas, donde una es vector de crecimiento de la otra, se estaban construyendo para la espectacularización de la sociedad y esto en varios momentos ha demostrado tener efectos muy oscuros, pues transformó, por ejemplo, la discusión política en entretenimiento y el periodismo en irresponsabilidad.
Źródła ikonograficzne do rysunków Stanisława Wyspiańskiego na temat sztuki ruskiej
Authors: Gronek Agnieszka
Published: October 2022

The main purpose of the study presented here is to find an answer to the question about source and scale of Stanisław Wyspiański’s interest in Ruthenian themes. It turns out that among nearly a thousand of his early drawings; only forty were related to the Ruthenian art. Some are the drawings of the monuments seen by him during the hike in August 1887, others – during the researching trip in August 1889, the third one are the copies of illustrations in the papers issued in print, mainly in catalogue Exhibitions of Polish-Ruthenian…, which took place in the Lviv, in September 1885. These cartoons were small notes and sketch trials, and did not specifically influence his further work. Their small number also proves that Wyspiański was not particularly interested in Ruthenian art. These outlines were merely an episode in his young self-education: a practical exercise in drawing and a theoretical study of history of art.

Published: October 2022

The article is devoted to the graphic design of books of the representatives of Mykhailo Boichuk’s school in the Ukrainian art of the first part of the 20th century. At that time, Mykhailo Boichuk became the founder of a new artistic trend in Ukrainian culture, called “neo-Byzantism”. In Stalin’s time this trend was renamed as “Boichukism” because the connection with Byzantium was perceived by the Soviet authorities as a relic of feudalism hostile to the Soviet state system. Mykhailo Boichuk himself and his leading pupils (S. Nalepinska-Boichuk, I. Padalka, and V. Sedlyar) were shot as “enemies of the people” in the bloody year 1937. All that was associated with their versatile art was ruthlessly destroyed. How ever, books cannot be completely destroyed, as they circulate. Thanks to the book graphics of Boichukists, first of all, today it is possible to demonstrate their search for the national style and especially the creative method of the school, and also the evolution of their creativity, uniqueness and their connection with the European artistic movement, in particular with Polish artistic culture, their use of new graphic design techniques and contribution of this Ukrainian school to the pan-European development of book graphic design. And although the author of this article has already published the scientific monograph “Boichukists’ graphics” (Kharkiv – New York, 2002), it has not focused on the European context of this phenomenon. The rapid development of Ukrainian literature can be seen between the 1920s and early 1930s. There is an urgent need to add artistic decoration to books. Original schools of Ukrainian book graphic design are formed following the principles of Boichukism – of Sofia Nalepinska-Boichuk in Kyiv and of Ivan Padalka in Kharkiv. The decline of zincography in Ukraine and the need to give the Ukrainian book a national character prompted Nalepinska-Boichuk to refer to the old Ukrainian engraving. Nalepinska-Boichuk builds her school, reviving the art of woodcutting. Padalka and his students turn to linocuts, using the technique in the book business. Another student of Boichuk, Vasyl Sedlyar, mastered the ink and brush technique. Boichukists’ book graphic was imbued with the spirit of the changes that took place in the book design in Europe and preserved the national originality.
Grafika towarzysząca satyrycznym tekstom o literaturze na łamach „Liberum Veto”
Authors: Wójtowicz Maria
Published: October 2022

The subject matter of this publication is the analysis of the illustrations of a satirical magazine entitled Liberum Veto, alluding to modernist and earlier literature. The periodical was published in the years 1903–1905 in Kraków and Lviv. One of its founders was August Kisielewski, its first publisher was a printer from Krakow, Władysław Teodorczuk. The editors were Franciszek Czaki and Adolf Neuwert- -Nowaczyński, and after the editorial office had been moved to Lviv, Władysław Milko. Numerous draftsmen who were cooperating with the magazine included: Kazimierz Brzozowski, Karol Frycz, Władysław Jarocki, Stanisław Kuczborski, Tymon Niesiołowski, Kazimierz Sichulski, Fryderyk Pautsch, Antoni Procajłowicz, Henryk Uziębło, Witold Wojtkiewicz and Stanisław Szreniawa Rzecki. And also during the Lviv period, Oskar Aleksandrowicz and Tadeusz Waltenberger cooperated with the magazine (dates unknown). The magazine consisted of regularly published columns, for example, the cycle Polski Parnas (Polish Parnassus), where modernist artists published pasquils (lampoons) under easily recognisable pseudonyms. In the magazine, one may see illustrations related to Stanisław Wyspiański, a versatile artist who was presented here mainly as the author of modernist dramas with the message of national liberation; Adam Mickiewicz, the national bard who was still present in the social consciousness; and Henryk Sienkiewicz, whose great novels made him a respected figure of the world of literature. This caused numerous biting criticism against the draftsmen and editors of Liberum Veto. The creator of the Zakopane Style, Stanisław Witkiewicz, was also depicted in a satirical way. The staging of the drama Eros i Psyche (Cupid and Psyche) featuring Irena Solska enhanced public interest in the figure of Jerzy Żuławski, the creator of Polish science-fiction literature. Other people shown in the illustrations included Lucjan Rydel, Kazimierz Przerwa-Tetmajer, Wacław Wolski, as well as the Greek fabulist Aesop living in the 6th century BC.
Secretum meum / Moja tajemnica
Authors: Petrarka Francesco , Maślanka-Soro Maria
Published: October 2022

The research project’s aim is to translate Petrarch’s Secretum meum (My Secret Book) into Polish and publish it in an academic edition. This treatise in three books (1347-1353) is one of Petrarch’s best known prose works, but unfortunately not so well known in Poland. Our publication is its first ever Polish translation. In his introduction to the Secret, Petrarch wrote that he did not intend it for a wider audience, yet the meticulous form in which the precursor of Italian humanism couches its manifold references to the Ancient Authors, the works of St. Augustine, and his own work, and above all, his attempt to write a spiritual autobiography that oscillates between confession and literary artifice elevating personal experience to the rank of universal and objective truth – all these features suggest the very opposite. Much of Petrarch’s Secret is a reference to the conversion of St. Augustine as told in the Confessions, and indeed Petrarch adopts him as his interlocutor and master. From beginning to end, the Secret takes the form of a dialogue modelled on Cicero’s Tusculan Disputations, the source of its numerous quotes and crypto-quotes. Petrarch’s dialogue develops into an animated discussion on the moral crisis he is experiencing due to his false perception of himself and reality, with Augustine trying to bring him out of the dilemma. The dialogue assumes the form of a dispute, a clash of two lines of reasoning which may be read as an articulation of Petrarch’s inner conflict. Augustine personifies the ideals which Petrarch was endeavouring to attain, while Francesco represents the vices which had bedevilled and dashed all the efforts Petrarch had been making throughout his life.

Introducción: Estimar la evolución de los niveles de anticuerpos anti-SARS-CoV-2 y los factores asociados, así como la incidencia de nuevas infecciones.
Método: Estudio de cohorte prospectivo de una muestra representativa de trabajadores del Hospital General Universitario de Castellón a los 8 meses de recibir la 2ª dosis de la vacuna Pfizer-BioNTech contra el SARS-CoV-2, mediante la determinación de anticuerpos IgG-S y IgG-NP, y la cumplimentación de un cuestionario. Se compararon los resultados con los del inicio de la cohorte en febrero de 2021. Se usó regresión lineal múltiple y regresión de Poisson. 
Resultados: Participaron 253 trabajadores de los 275 reclutados al inicio de la cohorte (92%). Todos mantenían niveles detectables de IgG-S, mediana de 691,5 UA/ml, disminuyendo un 93,3% con respecto al inicio. Los descensos de IgG-S fueron mayores con la edad y la obesidad, y menores en aquellos con historia de COVID-19, IgG-S elevada inicial, practicar ejercicio habitual y ser fumador. Tener IgG-NP se asoció positivamente con historia de COVID-19, tomar vitamina D, y disminuyeron del 4,4% al 1,2%. Se produjeron 4 casos de COVID-19 en la cohorte, con una tasa de incidencia del 1,7%, con un fallecimiento en un participante con tratamiento inmunosupresor, solo un caso fue asintomático y no hubo reinfecciones. 
Conclusiones: Se produce un descenso general de los anticuerpos IgG-S e IgG-NP después de la segunda dosis de vacuna Pfizer-BioNTech, así como nuevas infecciones por SARS-CoV-2. Se recomienda dosis de recuerdo, mantener medidas protectoras y determinar el umbral de anticuerpos protectores de la vacunación.

Living in relationship with the Ocean to transform governance in the UN Ocean Decade
Authors: Bender Michelle , Bustamante Rachel , Leonard Kelsey
Published: October 2022

Humanity’s relationship with the Ocean needs to be transformed to effectively address the multitude of governance crises facing the Ocean, including overfishing, climate change, pollution, and habitat destruction. Earth law, including Rights of Nature, provides a pathway to center humanity as a part of Nature and transform our relationship from one of dominion and separateness towards holism and mutual enhancement. Within the Earth law framework, an Ocean-centered approach views humanity as interconnected with the Ocean, recognizes societies’ collective duty and reciprocal responsibility to protect and conserve the Ocean, and puts aside short-term gain to respect and protect future generations of all life and the Ocean’s capacity to regenerate and sustain natural cycles. This Essay presents Ocean-centered governance as an approach to help achieve the 10 challenges for collective impact put forward as part of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development and therefore living in a harmonious relationship with the Ocean.
