ORIGINS OF THE PORTRAIT CONCEPTION IN THE ART OF V.L. BOROVIKOVSKY
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Abramkin Ivan A.
Published: February 2023

The article is a consideration of “Portrait of O.K. Filippova” – the first known female image in the art of Vladimir Lukich Borovikovsky (1757–1825). The object of the research is the definition of distinctive features in the artistic manner and principles of the portrait characteristic at the very beginning of the master’s work. The matter of the portrait conception’s origins calls for comparison with the art of F.S. Rokotov: in the scientific literature it is customary to establish the continuity between rococo art and sentimentalism on the example of the best portrait painters in those periods. The comparison of “Portrait of O.K. Filippova” with the most famous work of F.S. Rokotov – “Portrait of A.P. Struyskaya” – gives an opportunity to rethink the existing tradition in the historiography of Russian art of 18th century. Notable distinctions are present in all elements of portrait conception characteristic of both painters: typological principles, compositional means, painting devices and technical features. That conclusion casts doubt on the widespread thesis about the stylistic continuity between rococo and sentimentalism and demonstrates the need for further research on the issue on a wider sample of works.

As a result of the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic which was followed by the imposition of large-scale social restrictions (PSBB) in Indonesia, it has encouraged people to adopt healthier lifestyles and at the same time carry out a number of environmentally friendly activities. Therefore, it is necessary to make efforts to improve understanding and practice of cultivation as well as guarantee the quality of the food produced, among others by carrying out socialization "how to register horticultural products in urban areas to obtain a Prima3 certificate" as a guarantee that it is safe for consumption. The method used in this activity is the Action Research Method by applying the Participatory Action Program approach from the participants through discussions, and group work in all activities. The results of the activity show that one of the efforts to improve food safety for business actors of Fresh Plant-Origin Food (PSAT) is by registering for food safety certification. Based on survey results from 6 survey locations, 5 of them are still active, namely Japri Farm, UD Rohana and KWT Bunga Matahari, UD Sari Melanting, and UD Sumber Sari. While 1 other location is not active, namely KP. Petemon Asri. There are several business actors in the City of Mataram who have not extended the registration of the commodities they produce. These actors include the Bijak Sari Poktan, the Farmer Family Farmers Group, Japri and Mataram Hydroponics. The results of the demonstration plot showed that the use of liquid organic fertilizer was able to grow lettuce plants well. The best use of vegetable pesticides is demonstrated by plant-based pesticides extracted from papaya leaves. Botanical pesticides are pesticides whose active ingredients come from plants or herbs and other organic materials that can control pest attacks on lettuce plants, both as repellents, antifedans, attractants.

A difusão da tecnologia digital impulsionou profundas mudanças na produção do conhecimento, apresentando maneiras outras de interações diversas entre pares e com a própria cultura. Através das mídias digitais, professores e estudantes ampliam suas capacidades de aprender, fortalecendo laços comunicacionais e dinâmicas de interações entre os sujeitos, autoproduzindo uma intensa troca de conhecimentos. A cibercultura como ambiente cultural-comunicacional que emerge dos novos costumes, valores e atitudes através das conexões em rede, vem criando um movimento de sociabilidade, conectividade e interatividade com as experiências de aprendizagem, permeando não só a sociedade externa a escola, como o próprio ambiente escolar. De forma crescente, as instituições de ensino produzem movimentos curriculantes ensejando informações e comunicações online socialmente compartilhadas, ou seja, o número de salas de aulas intermediadas pela internet cresce com a expansão da modalidade online. É importante salientar que, por trás das telas, contextos paradigmáticos são evidenciados, principalmente no que diz respeito à precariedade de acesso à internet, pois, a inclusão digital dos estudantes é um dos desafios a ser superado. Considerando os modos como os sujeitos escolares produzem conhecimentos, por intermédio das experiências mediadas pelas tecnologias digitais, anunciamos um debate acerca de como o fenômeno da cibercultura se apresenta na Educação Básica, elencando fatores como acessibilidade, condições sociais e educacionais dos sujeitos que adentram os espaços de educação, apontando como as crescentes inovações tecnológicas permitem, por meio da cibercultura, explorar múltiplas linguagens, canais comunicacionais e produção de saberes, influenciando, direta e indiretamente, os modos de ensinar e aprender. Portanto, o objetivo desta produção é demonstrar através da literatura pesquisada que a comunicação digital no cenário da cibercultura viabiliza a construção de conhecimentos, ressignificando os atos de ensinar/aprender, bem como do currículo escolar. Para melhor nortear estes processos, elegemos quatro pontos condutores da discussão tratada: 1. Desafios enfrentados pelas escolas para a garantia da produção do conhecimento, 2. Formação de professores para fins de aprimoramento dos fazeres pedagógicos, 3. Atos de currículo na cibercultura e, por último, 4. Educação online como possibilidade para o engajamento sócio-cultural dos atores escolares. A metodologia empregada nesta produção científica baseia-se nos estudos das literaturas que tratam sobre as tecnologias digitais cerceadas pelos conhecimentos na cibercultura. Utilizamos como aporte teórico basilar Lévy (1993; 1999), Jenkins (2009), Winner (1975), Castels (2010) e Santos (2020).

Research for self-reported health problems after excessive talking time on mobile phones among university students
Authors: Gavrilas Leonidas , Kotsis Konstantinos T.
Published: February 2023

The devices that people use every day, such as mobile phones and wireless networks, emit electromagnetic waves in the radio frequency range. The widespread use of these devices, as well as the change in people’s social behavior, have dramatically increased their exposure to electromagnetic radiation. Due to the rapid increase of young people users, public health officials and the scientific community are showing particular interest in the possible effects of electromagnetic radiation on human health. Many researchers express strong concerns about the effects of exposure to electromagnetic radiation, as it can have a serious impact on physical, cognitive, and social health. This study focused on self-reported health problems after excessive talking time on mobile phones of 619 (n=619) University students of both genders, in the age group of 18-24 years were randomly selected. The data was collected using a close-ended questionnaire. Headache was found to be the most frequently reported symptom (69%) followed by pressure in the head (38.8%). In most self-reported health problems no correlation was found between the genders. Female students tend to talk more on their mobile phones, and it was found that this extensive use was associated with the declaration of more self-reported health problems. The results of this study do not leave us any room for complacency, especially when we talk about health issues, and continuous research is needed to protect people’s health. In addition, modern education should provide the necessary knowledge to students, but also take care of the development of the critical thinking of future citizens, so that they can make the most appropriate decisions for their health.
Assessing Inter-rater Reliability With Heterogeneous Variance Components Models: Flexible Approach Accounting for Contextual Variables
Authors: Martinková Patrícia , Bartoš František , Brabec Marek
Published: February 2023

Inter-rater reliability (IRR), which is a prerequisite of high-quality ratings and assessments, may be affected by contextual variables, such as the rater’s or ratee’s gender, major, or experience. Identification of such heterogeneity sources in IRR is important for the implementation of policies with the potential to decrease measurement error and to increase IRR by focusing on the most relevant subgroups. In this study, we propose a flexible approach for assessing IRR in cases of heterogeneity due to covariates by directly modeling differences in variance components. We use Bayes factors (BFs) to select the best performing model, and we suggest using Bayesian model averaging as an alternative approach for obtaining IRR and variance component estimates, allowing us to account for model uncertainty. We use inclusion BFs considering the whole model space to provide evidence for or against differences in variance components due to covariates. The proposed method is compared with other Bayesian and frequentist approaches in a simulation study, and we demonstrate its superiority in some situations. Finally, we provide real data examples from grant proposal peer review, demonstrating the usefulness of this method and its flexibility in the generalization of more complex designs.

Published: February 2023

Background: Growing evidence suggests that gut microbiota can affect depression-like behavior, and electroacupuncture (EA) can regulate the composition and abundance of gut microbiota. At the same time, not a lot of research has been done on how EA affects gut microbiota to depression-like behavior. The objective of this study was to study the associated mechanisms by which EA exerts antidepressant effects by modulating gut microbiota. Methods: Twenty-four C57BL/6 male mice were randomly divided into three groups, one group (n = 8) was the normal control group (NC). And the other two groups was chronic unpredictable mild stress for modeling + electroacupuncture group (CUMS + EA) (n = 8) and chronic unpredictable mild stress for modeling group (CUMS) (n = 8). Both CUMS and EA groups were subjected to 28 days of CUMS, but only the EA group received an additional 14 days of EA procedure. Behavior tests were used to determine the antidepressant effect of EA. Sequencing of the 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene was applied to examine alterations in the intestinal microbiome between groups. Results: The findings were compared to those of the NC group, the sucrose preference rate and the total distance of Open Field Test (OFT) in CUMS group decreased, the abundance of Lactobacillus decreased, while the abundance of staphylococci increased. After the intervention of EA, the sucrose preference index and the total distance of OFT increased, the abundance of Lactobacillus increased, while the abundance of staphylococci decreased. Conclusions: These findings indicated EA may play an antidepressant effect by adjusting the abundance of Lactobacillus and staphylococci.

Background: Prolonged length of stay (LOS) following targeted temperature management (TTM) administered after cardiac arrest may affect healthcare plans and expenditures. This study identified risk factors for prolonged LOS in patients with cardiac arrest receiving TTM and explored the association between LOS and neurological outcomes after TTM. Methods: The retrospective cohort consisted of 571 non-traumatic cardiac arrest patients aged 18 years or older, treated with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), had a Glasgow Coma Scale score <8, or were unable to comply with commands after the restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), and received TTM less than 12 hours after ROSC. Prolonged LOS was defined as LOS beyond the 75th quartile of the entire cohort. We analyzed and compared relevant variables and neurological outcomes between the patients with and without prolonged LOS and established prediction models for estimating the risk of prolonged LOS. Results: The patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest had a longer LOS than those with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (p = 0.0001). Duration of CPR (p = 0.02), underlying heart failure (p = 0.001), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (p = 0.008), chronic kidney disease (p = 0.026), and post-TTM seizures (p = 0.003) were risk factors for prolonged LOS. LOS was associated with survival to hospital discharge, and patients with the lowest and highest Cerebral Performance Category scores at discharge had a shorter LOS. A logistic regression model based on parameters at discharge achieved an area under the curve of 0.840 to 0.896 for prolonged LOS prediction, indicating the favorable performance of this model in predicting LOS in patients receiving TTM. Conclusions: Our study identified clinically relevant risk factors for prolonged LOS following TTM and developed a prediction model that exhibited adequate predictive performance. The findings of this study broaden our understanding regarding factors associated with hospital stay and can be beneficial while making clinical decisions for patients with cardiac arrest who receive TTM.

Hard to digest investments: People oppose investment in both conventional and cultured meat producers
Authors: Niszczota Paweł , Błaszczyński Jakub
Published: February 2023

The production of meat from farmed animals is problematic both on ethical and environmental grounds. However, we are on the eve of the mass production of cultured (lab) meat. This alternative to conventional meat should be both more environmentally sustainable and cause less harm to animals, making it more socially acceptable. In this paper, we investigate how people judge investing in meat producers, an issue that has become more salient with the increasing importance of socially responsible investment. We conducted two experimental studies (N=1301) aimed at answering whether people can separate associations towards meat when judging companies that produce them, resolving whether evaluations of meat producers as investment targets have a motivational or affective component, or not. Our findings show that people exhibit an aversion towards investment in both conventional (dconventional=–0.97) and cultured meat producers (dcultured=–0.26), consistent with the former. Concern for animal welfare exacerbates (dconventional=–1.34) or attenuates (dcultured=0.31) this aversion unless people feel disgust-towards animal-flesh, which has a similar adverse effect regardless of meat origin. Our findings suggest that for many, cultured meat producers might remain controversial investment targets. We speculate that similar paradoxical patterns could be observed in other economic decisions, making them socially consequential.
Reframing self-talk in endurance sports using grammatical taxonomy
Authors: Wallentin Mikkel , Nedergaard Johanne
Published: February 2023

In this theoretical paper, we use a linguistic vocabulary to reframe self-talk in endurance sport through a focus on grammatical function. Self-talk often works as speech acts, a kind of communicative action, e.g. where a self-talker is using the imperative mood to accomplish some goal with respect to herself (Come on!). Auxiliary modal verbs work across three main types of utterances: Deontic modality involving permission and obligation; dynamic modality involving ability and willingness; epistemic modality involving probabilistic judgements. In self-talk, these all function to establish a hypothetical domain for further reflection. Self-distance can be negotiated using 1st and 2nd person pronouns (I/you) and spatial demonstratives (this/that). Sentiment is communicated using adjectives, while negation may yield a means for impulse control. We can question our own utterances and use interjections to communicate surprise. These are all vital mental tools in endurance sports and an increased awareness of their functions in self-talk research will likely yield better self-talk interventions and lead to better performance for athletes.

Objective. To conduct comparative characteristics of national and foreign accounting systems and identify the peculiarities of their functioning, which is necessary for Ukrainian enterprises and companies to enter new markets, improve competitiveness, as well as control and analysis of financial performance, preparation and submission of reports. The greatest practical interest is the experience of countries that have formed their accounting systems, fully converted to international accounting requirements and use international financial reporting standards. Methodology. Analysis of the theoretical bases and practical application of accounting systems and models is based on the methods of theoretical generalization, grouping and concretization. Results. Emphasis is placed on the existing classifications of systems and models of accounting, which have been studied by foreign and domestic scientists at different stages of economic development. The classification features, the common features and differences of the accounting systems in different countries were analyzed, the characteristic features of the accounting system in Ukraine and other post-Soviet countries were determined. According to the results of the study, the use of positive aspects in the domestic field of accounting procedures that will ensure the formation of a quality accounting information basis for internal and external users is proposed. Scientific novelty The characteristic features of accounting systems and models in Ukraine and other countries are determined. It is proposed to expand the list of external factors influencing the formation of the domestic accounting system. The necessity of singling out the post-Soviet countries into a separate accounting model, taking into account the peculiarities of their development, is proved. Practical significance. The results of the study provide a scientific and practical basis for the formation and harmonization of the domestic accounting and financial reporting system with the foreign system which will neutralize the impact of negative factors and form a clear concept for the development of the national accounting system.
STORAGE OF ERYTHROCYTE MASS OF HORSES AND CONTROL OF ITS STERILITY
Authors: Tarnavskyi D. , Egorov O. , Malyuk M. , Kozlovskaya G.
Published: February 2023

Currently, blood transfusion should be considered as a tissue transplantation operation with all the consequences - possible rejection of cellular and plasma components of blood, development of allosensitization to antigens of blood cells and plasma proteins, as well as, in the case of an immunodeficient patient, the possible development of a life-threatening reaction "Transplant against host".

Erythrocyte mass is a transfusion medium containing at least 70% erythrocytes, which is optimal in the treatment of anemic syndrome. At equal volumes compared to whole blood, the erythrocyte mass contains a larger number of erythrocytes, but significantly less citrate, products of cell decay, cellular and protein antigens, and antibodies. Transfusions of erythrocyte mass occupy a prominent place in transfusion therapy, which aims to fill the deficiency of erythrocytes in anemic conditions.

We studied 5 samples of preserved erythrocyte mass from clinically healthy horses. Blood was collected by a closed method followed by separation of the erythrocyte mass by centrifugation. The mass was stored in a refrigerator at a temperature of 2-6°C for 30 days.

Sowing of each sample was carried out in the thickness of the nutrient medium. Cultures in a thioglycol medium and control tubes were incubated in a thermostat at a temperature of 20-25°C and at a temperature of 30-35°C, with a Sabouraud medium at a temperature of 20-25°C. The term of incubation of crops in a thermostat in both nutrient media was 14 days.

According to the results of bacteriological examination of samples of erythrocyte mass of horses after their storage, not a single non-sterile sample was found.

Therefore, the method of blood collection using closed systems is reliable and makes it possible to receive donor blood and blood components without loss of sterility during a long storage period.

Published: February 2023

The autonomic nervous system is of great importance in regulating the homeostasis of the animal body. In particular, the sympathetic and parasympathetic departments of the nervous system affect the physiological and biochemical processes in the animal body to adjust the body's activity depending on the factors of the external and internal environment. The purpose of the study is to find out the influence of the tone of the autonomic nervous system on the content of saturated fatty acids in lipids of blood plasma in cows depending on the season. The study was performed on cows of the Ukrainian black and spotted dairy breed of the 3rd–4th lactation. The tone of the autonomic nervous system in cows was determined by cardiological examination according to the Baevskyi method. The content of saturated fatty acids in lipids of blood plasma was determined by the gas chromatography method. Comparing the results obtained in the winter and summer periods, differences in the content of saturated fatty acids in lipids of blood plasma in cows were found. Normotonic cows were characterized by a significantly higher content of caproic, lauric, stearic, and arachidic acids (р≤0.05–0.001) in the winter period and myristic and pentadecanoic acids (р≤0.001) in the summer period. In winter, sympathotonic cows had high levels of caproic, capric, myristic, and arachidic acids in lipids of blood plasma (р≤0.05–0.001), and in summer period – pentadecanoic, palmitic, and stearic acids (р≤0.05– 0.001). In blood plasma of vagotonic cows, there were high levels of stearic and arachidic acids (р≤0.001) in the winter period, while in the summer period – caproic, lauric, myristic, and palmitic acids (р≤0.01–0.001). According to the results of the study, it should be noted that the tone of the autonomic nervous system can affect the processes of saturated fatty acid metabolism in cows.

Authors: Mathivanan Elavarasan , Raju Kavitha , Murugan Rajaganapathy
Published: February 2023

An ongoing outbreak of Lumpy skin disease (LSD) has affected many states in India since May 2022. The disease originated in Zambia in 1929. The disease first appeared in South Asia in July 2019, with Bangladesh reporting an outbreak. India reported its first ever Lumpy skin disease outbreak in August 2019. LSD is a contagious epizootic disease caused by the Capri pox virus, which spreads among cattle. The major mode of transmission is vector-borne. There is no specific treatment for LSD. The current preventive measure include vaccination, movement control of bovine animals and quarantining, implementing biosecurity through vector control. There is no evidence that it can affect humans. The current outbreak in India has a wide range of morbidity rates, and higher range of mortality rates among cattle, comparing to the previous outbreak. The outbreak has resulted in huge economic implications for dairy farmers, which is exacerbated by the spread of misinformation through social media.
What micro-diachronic analysis can tell us about unmarked indefinites: Evidence from Russian
Authors: Pekelis Olga
Published: February 2023

The paper deals with the evolution of Russian unmarked indefi nite pronouns, also known as bare interrogatives, since the 18ᵗʰ century. The Russian National Corpus data suggest that the distribution of unmarked indefinites both in modern Russian and in the Russian language of the 18ᵗʰ–19ᵗʰ centuries is not in line with previous proposals. Surprisingly, unmarked indefinites are more frequent in some specific contexts compared to non-specific contexts such as imperatives or subjunctive clauses. I argue that the distribution of Russian unmarked indefi nites can be accounted for by some sort of economy principle: due to the lack of a marker of indefiniteness, unmarked indefinites tend to be used in contexts that are strongly biased toward a certain interpretation of an indefinite in terms of specificity (specific known vs. specific unknown vs. non-specific). This analysis, as I suggest, correctly predicts two typological tendencies reported on unmarked indefinites in the literature.

Authors: Bistarelli Stefano , Taticchi Carlo
Published: February 2023

While agent-based modelling languages naturally implement concurrency, the currently available languages for argumentation do not allow to explicitly model this type of interaction. In this paper we introduce a concurrent language for handling agents arguing and communicating using a shared argumentation space. We also show how to perform high-level operations like persuasion and negotiation through basic belief revision constructs, and present a working implementation of the language and the associated web interface.

With the construction of ecological civilization being incorporated into the overall layout of “five in one” of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, improving the quality of enterprise environmental protection, fulfilling social responsibility and improving the level of corporate governance have become the direction vigorously advocated by all sectors of society. In this context, how to achieve sustainable development has become an important concern. Based on the stakeholder theory, corporate social responsibility theory and signal theory, this paper innovatively constructs the influence mechanism of green supply chain performance on enterprise performance, and empirically tests the mechanism through second-hand data to explore the relationship and mechanism between manufacturing enterprises’ performance on green supply chain and enterprise supply chain financing performance, so as to help enterprises improve their sustainable development capacity. The results show that: the green supply chain performance of listed manufacturing enterprises has a significant positive impact on the amount of supply chain financing, but only social performance can significantly reduce the cost of supply chain financing; the current corporate reputation has no significant positive impact on the performance of supply chain financing, but the lag corporate reputation has a significant impact on the amount of supply chain financing Corporate reputation plays an intermediary role between green supply chain performance and supply chain financing performance.
Pull-Extrinsic and Push-Intrinsic Motivations Effect on Destination Image Formation: The Moderate Effect of Tourists’ Experiences
Authors: Hamdy Ahmed , Zhang Jian , Eid Riyad
Published: February 2023

To date, very little attention has been paid to the antecedents of the image of the destination in a non-western context. This study employed the pull-extrinsic and push-intrinsic motivations theory to examine tourists’ experiences as a potential moderating factor in the indirect relationship between extrinsic motives associated with the destination on one hand and tourists’ intrinsic motives and the destination image on the other. Using Smart PLS and PROCESS macro, the analysis of data obtained from 613 tourists of different nationalities revealed that second-order extrinsic motives associated with the destination directly impact tourists’ intrinsic motivations and the destination image. The findings also show that tourists’ experiences decrease the direct link between extrinsic motives and the destination image for first-time visitors compared to repeat visitors. In contrast, it increases the direct link between tourists’ intrinsic motives and the destination image for repeated visitors compared to first-time visitors. The study’s results have important implications for destination marketing managers from a practical standpoint.
Enterprise Digital Transformation Mechanism from the Perspective of Resource Arrangement
Authors: Zhang Xicai , Xiao Guihua
Published: February 2023

With the advent of the digital economy era, the digital transformation of enterprises has become an inevitable choice. The theoretical innovation of this paper is based on the resource arrangement theory, focusing on “What is the motivation of enterprise digital transformation?” “What is the mechanism of enterprise digital transformation?” And other research issues, proposed that enterprises in different stages will optimize the use of digital resources according to different needs, form corresponding digital capabilities, and create different values, and built a research framework of “transformation motivation – resource arrangement – capacity formation – value creation”. This paper selects the digital transformation process of Leader Harvest as the research object, and divides the digital transformation process of enterprises into three parts according to different transformation motives: single point business digitalization driven by lean production, business process digitalization driven by continuous improvement, and management network digitalization driven by efficient decision-making. Through a three-month case study of Leader Harvest, nearly 100000 words of materials, such as semi-structured interview materials, observation materials and second-hand materials, were coded and processed, and finally the digital transformation mechanism of enterprises at different stages was obtained, which is convenient for other enterprises to reference when carrying out digital transformation. The inadequacy of this paper is that it only analyzes the internal transformation motivation of a single enterprise, and does not take the demand of the supply chain of the enterprise into consideration. The future research direction is to maximize the efficiency of the entire supply chain while realizing the digital transformation of a single enterprise.

Machine ratio adaptation of a dual-PM modular doubly salient permanent magnet machine (DPM-DSPM) was proposed to improve the torque characteristics. An optimization design process was examined. Essential machine indicators were investigated to obtain an optimal machine ratio. It was found that p = 4 and a 0.8 rotor pole width ratio of the DPM-DSPM produced the best essential machine indicator that provided the appropriate magnetic flux path and high flux regulation quality. Then, the DPM-DSPM with an optimal machine ratio was investigated based on open-circuit and on-load tests and then compared to a reviewed DPM-DSPM. The results, based on 2-D finite element analysis, verified that the optimal proposed DPM-DSPM had better torque characteristics. In particular, the optimal proposed structure produced 35.04% higher electromagnetic torque with 61.75% lower ripple torque than the review structure. Therefore, an optimal machine ratio for a DPM-DSPM can be beneficial in solving industrial machine problems, especially noise reduction from vibration.

Background:

A better understanding of factors associated with caregiver burden might facilitate the construction of coping strategies to improve their clinical outcomes and the comprehensive care model for dementia.

Objective:

To investigate the cognitive and neuropsychiatric domains that contribute to caregiver burden in three types of neurodegenerative disorders: Parkinson’s disease (PD), Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and frontotemporal disease (FTD).

Methods:

Eight hundred and fourteen patients and their caregivers were invited to participate; among them, 235 had PD with cognitive impairment; 429 had AD, and 150 had FTD. The evaluation protocol included the Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI), the Mini-Mental State Examination, the Chinese Version Verbal Learning Test, the modified Trail Making Test B, semantic fluency, and a geriatric depression score. Statistical comparisons of the cognitive tests, NPI total scores, and caregiver burden among the three diagnosed types of dementia, matched for a Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) of 0.5 or 1, were performed, and multivariate linear regression models were used to evaluate the parameter significance.

Results:

Caregivers for patients with PD and FTD showed significant burden increments when the CDR scores changes from 0.5 to 1. For CDR = 0.5, the PD group had significantly lower caregiver burdens than the AD group, but the NPI total scores were significantly higher. Factors related to caregiver burden were the presence of delusion among all diagnosis groups, while the impact of NPI total scores related to caregiver burden was the highest in FTD, followed by AD and PD.

Conclusions:

At the mild to moderate stages, our results suggested different degrees of significance in terms of the cognitive test scores or NPI subdomains for predicting caregiver stress among the three types of dementia.

Some Philosophical Aspects of Elza Kučera
Authors: Boršić Luka , Skuhala Karasman Ivana
Published: February 2023

The focus of this work are two aspects of the philosophy of Elza Kučera (1883 — 1972). Kučera received her doctorate in philosophy from the University of Zurich in 1909, becoming the first Croatian woman born in Croatia to receive a PhD in philosophy. Her main interest was psychology, and later library science, and, apart from her PhD theses, almost all her published works are within these disciplines. However, among her handwritten and unpublished works that are preserved in the archives of the National and University Library in Zagreb a certain number of “purely” philosophical texts can be found. In order to present her philosophical approach, we analyze two particular questions she dealt with. The first is the problem of causality that she discussed in her overview of Thomas Brown’s epistemology in her dissertation entitled The Epistemology of Thomas Brown: A Historical Study (Die Erkenntnislehre von Thomas Brown: eine historische Studie, Zagreb, 1909). The second is the question of national philosophy, which she developed in a short unpublished text from 1918 or 1919. Given that Elza Kučera, as the first woman philosopher, experimental psychologist, and woman librarian in Croatia, has not received due attention to this day, we also present her biography.
