Effetti della depressione materna sul neurosviluppo del bambino
Authors: Montorsi Anna , Bellieni Carlo Valerio
Published: February 2024

Aim: To ascertain what in the scientific literature of the last decade has been observed regarding the effects of prenatal and postpartum maternal depression on the child. Materials and methods: we analyzed through the PRISMA framework the scientific literature of the past ten years and retained 73 articles. The collected data have been divided into four categories: a) influence of prenatal maternal depression in the child’s first year of life, b) influence of prenatal maternal depression after the child’s first year of life, c) influence of postnatal maternal depression in the first year of life, d) influence of postnatal maternal depression after the first year of life. Results: Maternal depression negatively affected child development, recording a higher rate of children with low weight, lower language and cognitive achievements, and difficult behavioral and social adjustment. Some papers also report a negative effect on alvo control, headache, and the emergence of unexplained crying attacks. In particular, there is much evidence of a higher risk of transgenerational transmission of depressive symptoms and psychopathologies in the offspring.

Authors: Choi Yujeong , Chun Jihae (julia)
Published: February 2024

This article explores an inquiry-based zine-making activity in an advanced Korean language class and the creation of a webzine collection. Zines, which emphasize self-expression, are self-produced publications often created by amateurs. The zine-making project enables students to enhance critical thinking skills by problematizing and researching social issues and language proficiency by expressing their opinions in written Korean. To archive the students’ zine projects, the first Korean language zine collection was established in TSpace, an open access institutional repository at the University of Toronto Libraries. The article discusses the potential of zines as group projects and presents students’ feedback, highlighting their positive impact on promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) values in the learning environment.
Appearance of facet joint syndrome in a case of chronic sacroiliitis: Evidenced from quantitative sacroiliac scintigraphy and dual images of SPECT-CT
Authors: Danielle Anne G. Tee  , Shin-Tsu Chang
Published: February 2024

Lower back pain (LBP) is a global health concern with increasing prevalence, projected to reach 843 million cases by 2050. Lumbar facet joint (LFJ) syndrome contributes significantly to LBP, impacting patient quality of life. Despite its prevalence, a gold standard for accurate and noninvasive diagnosis of LBP has not yet been established, leading to underdiagnosis and inadequate treatment. This case report presents a 57-year-old woman diagnosed with LFJ syndrome and mild sacroiliitis through single-photon emission computed tomography- computed tomography (SPECT-CT) and quantitative sacroiliac scintigraphy (QSS). The patient presented with persistent LBP and hip pain without history of trauma or surgery. Clinical examination revealed lumbar tenderness, limited mobility, and positive Fortin and STORK tests. Whole body bone scan (WBBS) revealed tracer uptake at the sacroiliac (SI) joints and multiple spinal levels, particularly L3-L4. Hybrid SPECT-CT imaging showed heightened bone activity on lumbar spine, confirming degenerative arthropathy of the L3-L4 facet joints, in contrast with minimal evidence obtained from plain radiography and CT images. Furthermore, combining results from SPECT-CT and borderline sacroiliac indices from QSS indicate the presence of chronic degenerative sacroiliitis. Identifying the source of LBP remains challenging. SPECT-CT emerges as a valuable tool for comprehensive evaluation of LBP by combining anatomical and functional imaging of target tissues, allowing increased foci localization and accuracy of diagnosis. QSS can also be utilized as a complement in identifying the presence of chronic lesions of the SI joints. These promising results open opportunities for more research on the efficacy of combined morphological and functional imaging, as well as sacroiliac indices as a complementary diagnostic tool.

The paper focuses on exhibition practice, taking exhibitions as the key to contemporaneity. I will make a strong plea for the mutuality between past and present, the encouragement of visitors becoming participants through soliciting affective empathic attitude, and the accommodation to make this possible thanks to the enticement of durational looking. I will do this through the theoretical analysis of what exhibiting means and does, and through a consideration of my recent video installation Don Quijote: Sad Countenances. One episode of this project will be the hook on which to hang my view of art-making as, not an illustration of but a method of cultural analysis.
From inside to outside (and vice versa)
Authors: Tedeschi Francesco
Published: February 2024

This contribution will focus on some aspects of the roots of environmental art in Italy, with reference to works created between the 1950s and 1960s by Lucio Fontana, to environments designed by members of Gruppo T and other artists (Giulio Paolini, Luciano Fabro) in the 1960s, and through reflections on the different uses of space that were defined with the exhibition Lo spazio dell’immagine held in Foligno in 1967. The approach is not, however, that of a historical review of well-known events, but of an investigation into the way to understand the relationship between outside and inside, the sense and value of the “passage,” the conception of the modifying factors, starting with light, which have acted on the definition of space as an element to be perceived, rather than a place to be in, emphasising the dynamics that define a dialectical, if not antithetical, relationship with respect to architectural and design qualities in the proper sense, leading to reading the environmental art intervention as an invitation to follow a path.

Exploring Noetic Space in Shashi Deshpande’s That Long Silence
Authors: A Savier Mut Jabraj , G Christopher
Published: February 2024

Space is defined as something void and available. It extends its liminality to time, physical, and mental boundaries. Virginia Woolf’s notion of women’s productivity depending on space, freedom, and economic independence is much quoted in feminist writings. Influenced much by Virginia Woolf, Shashi Deshpande, writes mainly on the conundrums of Indian familial scenarios focused on women. Her writings are notable for the quest her characters undergo to replenish their ‘self’. The study aims to probe the prerequisite availability of space in the context of women in the family (married women) to nurture their self-psyche. The idea that women are not getting enough space to do so is the underlying argument of the study. This article finds out the notion of space being a necessity for assessing the self, vital in conceiving the quest for the same to be possible in Shashi Deshpande’s That Long Silence. The Conceptualization of mind speculates a philosophical framework that advocates for the delineation of a distinct spatial realm for women, primarily aimed at fostering the cultivation and development of their intellectual faculties. This designated space, termed as "Noetic Space" within the context of this scholarly inquiry, serves as a dedicated environment conducive to the nurturing of a woman's cognitive and contemplative capacities. This conceptualization reflects the nuanced interplay between Confucian philosophical doctrines and the deliberate spatial considerations envisioned for the optimal intellectual advancement of women.

Published: February 2024

This study investigated the effects of pre-heating fertile Japanese quail eggs during storage on embryonic development, incubation performance, hatched chick quality, and chick performance up to 35 days of age. The experiment was laid out in a completely randomized design in a 3 × 2 + 1 factorial arrangement, totaling seven treatments. These treatments included three storage periods (3.5, 6.5, and 9.5 days) and two pre-heating periods (0 and 4 h at 37.5°C and 60% RH). Pre-heating was conducted on the third day of egg storage inside the incubator machine, with the control treatment involving the storage of fertile eggs for 12 h without pre-heating. Extended egg storage for more than six days led to an increase in the percentages of yolk and shell, elevated albumen pH, reduced albumen percentage, diminished hatchability rate, and an increased embryonic mortality rate. Pre-heating the eggs resulted in a reduction in the weight, length, and amount of residual yolk sac of the newly hatched chick. No significant effects of pre-heating fertile Japanese quail eggs during storage were observed on the studied variables. Therefore, the protocol involving a 4-h pre-heating at 37.5 ºC and 60% relative humidity during the storage period does not yield improvements in incubation rates or chick quality in Japanese quail. Further studies are warranted to determine the optimal protocol for pre-heating Japanese quail eggs.

A nutrição materna na gestação tem sido recentemente associada à formação fetal e ao potencial produtivo da progênie na vida adulta. Uma das maneiras eficientes de avaliar o status nutricional da vaca gestante é através do escore de condição corporal (ECC). Desta forma, o objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar os efeitos da variação do ECC da vaca na gestação sobre o desempenho e características pós-abate da progênie. As progênies foram divididas conforme o desempenho das vacas: LOST, vacas que perderam 0,20 pontos de BCS; KEPT, vacas que mantiveram BCS; WON, vacas que ganharam 0,23 pontos de BCS no terço final de  gestação. Foi avaliado o desempenho da progênie do nascimento até o abate, bem como as características da carcaça e carne dos animais. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi inteiramente casualizado com três tratamentos. Vacas WON apresentaram maior peso e ECC ao parto em relação às vacas LOST. O desempenho da progênie não foi influenciado pela variação do ECC da vaca na gestação (P>0.05), porém, apresentam comportamentos distintos entre as fases de crescimento. Durante a terminação em confinamento, novilhos LOST tenderam (P = 0.1013) a apresentar maior consumo de matéria seca em relação às progênies KEPT e WON (10.10 vs 9.75 e 9.24 kg dia-1, repectivamente). Novilhos WON foram mais eficientes para RFI (Residual Feed Intake) e mais produtivos para RWG (Residual Weight Gain) em relação aos animais LOST. Do mesmo modo, a progênie WON tendeu a apresentar maior deposição de gordura subcutânea (P = 0.0826) e de marmoreio (P = 0.0961) em relação aos novilhos LOST e KEPT. Desta forma, o acúmulo de escore corporal materno durante a gestação demonstra o atendimento das exigências para o crescimento fetal, aspecto que favorece o desenvolvimento e a formação de animais superiores.

O georreferenciamento pode revelar a distribuição espacial das doenças. Este estudo caracterizou a localização geográfica dos casos positivos de leishmaniose visceral canina (LVC) (n=21), por meio do aplicativo C7-LVC (App), na cidade de Santa Maria, RS, Brasil. Esta tecnologia está disponível para uso em dispositivos smartphones, sendo caracterizada como primeiro instrumento para a notificação de LVC ao serviço público, com o objetivo de auxiliar nas ações de controle da doença. Neste estudo, foi utilizado o banco de dados do Serviço Municipal de Vigilância Ambiental que continha informações de notificações sobre LVC anteriormente enviadas por médicos veterinários, entre abril e dezembro de 2017. Neste período, a prevalência de LVC foi maior na região Norte (17/21 - 80,93%) da cidade. Os casos positivos foram observados em sete bairros, com maior ocorrência (21/9 - 42,85%) no bairro Perpétuo Socorro. As regiões contendo cães positivos para LVC apresentavam como características ambientais a vegetação nativa com áreas úmidas, sombreadas e ricas em matéria orgânica. Todos os casos de LVC foram identificados em regiões geográficas próximas. As características ambientais do município favorecem a proliferação e sobrevivência do vetor no perímetro urbano e periurbano e acarretam riscos à saúde humana e animal. Os dados de georreferenciamento obtidos pelo C7-LVC podem auxiliar na formulação de medidas sanitárias para conter a propagação da doença entre humanos e animais.

Beneficial rhizobacteria are multifunctional microorganisms that stimulate plant growth through direct mechanisms such as the solubilization of phosphorus and potassium present in soil minerals, biological nitrogen fixation and production of plant hormones. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of beneficial rhizobacteria on the initial development, promoting growth and resistance of soybean seedlings, aiming not only for increased production but also for agricultural sustainability through the maximization of biological efficiency in the early development of soybean seedlings. The experiment, under controlled conditions, was conducted in a completely randomized design, with four treatments and ten replications. The treatments consisted in the microbiolization of soybean seeds with: 1. Control (without microorganism); 2. Serratia marcenses (BRM 32114); 3. Bacillus spp. (BRM63573) and 4. BRM 32114 + (BRM63573). After the microbiolization of the seeds, they were sown and placed to germinate, after 12 days, the seedlings were harvested and divided into shoots and roots. The roots were washed and photographed with digital camera. The images were analyzed and determined length, diameter, surface area and volume of roots. Then, root and shoot were dried and weighed for biomass determination. Co-inculation, BRM 32114+ BRM63573, promoted greater robustness of the root system of soybean seedlings with increased length (16.2%), diameter (22.5%), volume (43.4%) and dry biomass (29.7%). The dry matter of shoots and total soybean seedlings was superior to the control treatment in all treatments with rhizobacteria. Therefore, plant growth promoting

Major clinical outcomes of the use of biostimulators (L-PRF and coenzyme Q10) in the optimization of buccomaxillofacial surgery: a systematic review
Authors: Medina Patricia Consuelo Nacimba , López Brian Steven , Beneti Igor Mariotto
Published: February 2024

Introduction: Tissue engineering combines three key elements matrix (three-dimensional structures that support growth, collagen cell, bone mineral), signaling molecules (growth factors (GF) and leukocyte cytokines), and cells (osteoblasts, fibroblasts or other adequate populations for tissue regeneration. Many studies suggest that antioxidants act as inhibitors of osteoclastogenesis and the inhibitory effect of CoQ10 on osteoclast differentiation. These findings highlight the potential therapeutic applications of CoQ10 for the treatment of bone diseases. Objective: The present study highlighted the main approaches to the use of fibrin-rich plasma (L-PRF) and coenzyme Q10 in buccomaxillofacial surgery through a systematic review. Methods: The systematic review rules of the PRISMA Platform were followed. The search was carried out from October 2023 to January 2024 in the Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar databases, using articles from 2006 to 2022. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed accordingly, according to the Cochrane instrument. Results and Conclusion: A total of 104 articles were found, 38 articles were evaluated and 23 were included and developed in this systematic review study. Considering the Cochrane tool for risk of bias, the overall assessment resulted in 36 studies with a high risk of bias and 20 studies that did not meet GRADE. The use of platelet and leukocyte-rich fibrin can reduce bone absorption, infection, pain, local edema, and wound healing. L-PRF presents itself as an autogenous biomaterial with great versatility, low cost, easy acquisition and wide use, and infinite possibilities. It can be combined with other materials in the most diverse areas of dentistry. Also, CoQ10 concentrations can suppress ROS, which is needed as a signaling intermediate. CoQ10 acts as an enhancer of all stages of osteoblastic differentiation. Thus, CoQ10 suppresses osteoclast differentiation by eliminating generated intracellular ROS. Furthermore, CoQ10 enhances bone regeneration in all differentiation processes through transcription factor activity.
Chronic renal insufficiency can cause early anemia: A cross-sectional study
Authors: Vintha Ravi , Amzarul Mohammad , Ahmad Ausaf , Siddiqui Sara
Published: February 2024

Background: Chronic renal insufficiency has emerged as a global health issue, causing significant morbidity and mortality. Anybody can develop anemia but it is very common in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Renal anemia develops as a result of CKD, and its prevalence rises as the disease progresses. The WHO defines anemia as a hemoglobin level <13 gm/dl for males as well as women in the post-menopausal age group and ˂12 gm/dl for women in the pre-menopausal age group.

Aim and Objectives: This study was done to assess whether a correlation exists between the grades of anemia and various stages of chronic renal insufficiency.

Materials and Methods: The authors conducted a cross-sectional study involving 145 subjects with diabetes mellitus and CKD. The primary aim was to investigate the various grades of anemia in different stages of CKD patients. We classified the CKD patients into 5 stages based on GFR rates, as defined by guidelines of the national kidney foundation.

Results: This study shows that out of 145 subjects having diabetic nephropathy with CKD, 59 subjects had mild anemia, 60 subjects had moderate anemia, and 26 subjects had severe anemia. Data were analyzed using the SPSS 16.0 version. The qualitative results were presented in frequency, percentages, and graphs. Baseline characteristic cases were compared with grades of anemia. For the correlation between two variables, Pearson and Spearman correlation coefficients were applied. The majority of patients with Grade 2 and Grade 3 CKD had mildto-moderate grades of anemia which worsened as the stage of CKD progressed and came out to be highly significant.

Conclusion: This study concludes that anemia is a consistent finding in patients of CKD; the severity of anemia progresses as the kidney function is compromised.

Authors: C Elna , B Sujatha , K Purushothaman
Published: February 2024

Background: Incidence of infections in patients admitted to the Pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) is high which results in the use of antimicrobials for a prolonged duration and numbers. The rising incidence of antibiotic resistance has made it obligatory for antibiotics to be prescribed reasonably in pediatric patients.

Aims and Objectives: The objective of this study was to analyze the antibiotic prescription pattern for patients admitted in pediatric intensive care unit in a tertiary care hospital.

Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in PICU. Two hundred and seventy-five pediatric patients were incorporated in this study. The patients’ data were collected from the case sheets, recorded, and analyzed.

Results: The majority (80%) of patients admitted in PICU received antibiotic(s). About 68.18% of patients were prescribed only one antibiotic. Patients in the age group of 1 m–<1 year (58.18%) received more antibiotics. Pneumonia emerged to be the foremost reason for antibiotic use (45%), followed by Meningitis (14.54%). Ceftriaxone (28.27%) was the antibiotic prescribed most often. About 80.34% of antibiotics were prescribed by their generic names and 5.86% of antibiotics were prescribed as fixed-dose combinations.

Conclusion: Antimicrobial resistance has become a global issue that should be tackled with extreme prudence and vigilance. This study provides insight on antibiotic prescription pattern in PICU and can prevent unnecessary use of antimicrobials.

Published: February 2024

Background:
Camel meat tainted with heavy metal or trace elements may pose a health risk to consumers. Heavy metal contamination poses a severe danger due to both their toxicity and bioaccumulation in the food chain
Aim:
To estimate the residual levels of heavy metals (Co, Cr, Mn, Se and As) in muscle, liver, kidney, hair, and serum of three camel breeds (Magaheem, Maghateer, and Wadha) collected from Al-Omran abattoir, Al-Ahsa, Saudi Arabia.
Methods:
A total of 225 tissue samples (muscles, liver, kidney, serum, and hair) were taken and analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. Health risk assessment was assessed using the guidelines set by the US Environmental Protection Agency.
Results:
Camel breed significantly (P < 0.05) influences Co, Cr, Mn, and Se accumulation and distribution in organs and muscle, however arsenic accumulation was not significantly affected (P < 0.05) by camel breeds. The highest values of Co, Cr, Se, and Mn in all examined samples were detected in the liver samples of Maghateer and Magaheem breeds. Furthermore, significant strong positive correlation between serum and liver cobalt, chromium, manganese and arsenic. The estimated daily intake (EDI) owing to camel meat consumption was less than the tolerated daily intake (TDI).
Conclusion:
Heavy metals were distributed among different breeds of camel. Trace elements (Pb and Cd) in meat and offal were below the international maximum permissible limit. The correlation between samples reflects the role of hair as a good tool for identification of heavy metal pollution.

Published: February 2024

Religion is an ideology, not a good or service, but rather an attraction used to draw in the audience. Ajwa TV Indonesia is an illustration of the critical media political economy theory of how religious content has become commodified because of the transformation of religion's initial use value as a way of life and a source of belief into an exchange value. One of the media's mediators for boosting viewership is YouTube update thumbnails. The research included qualitative descriptive techniques. The practice of commodification of religious content emerged as a response to these negative effects and as a rule for Indonesian Muslims' daily life. Additionally, YouTube plays a significant role in enhancing the performance and visibility of devoted Ajwa TV viewers. The purpose of a thumbnail update is to make information about shows on Ajwa TV more widely known by releasing and sharing it. A device's thumbnails serve many functions, one of which is to display a preview of a digital image. A device's thumbnails serve many functions, one of which is to display a preview of a digital image. Ajwa TV Indonesia is anticipated to continue producing current programming including music, lifestyle, news, and Islamic studies to expand the discussion.

Authors: H Gurlhosur Dr. Shrikrishna
Published: February 2024

This research delves into a comprehensive investigation of copper nanoparticle synthesis and characterization, with a specific emphasis on exploring their antibacterial potential by manipulating size and surface charge. Employing a customized approach, precise control over nanoparticle dimensions and surface properties was achieved. Variations in size were attained by fine-tuning reaction parameters, while surface charge modifications were implemented through ligand functionalization. Thorough characterization using diverse analytical techniques, such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta potential measurements, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), was conducted to elucidate morphological aspects and surface features. This multifaceted characterization aimed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the synthesized copper nanoparticles. Antibacterial assessments against various bacterial strains, spanning Gram-positive and Gram-negative species, were carried out, and the results were meticulously correlated with variations in nanoparticle size and surface charge. The outcomes not only advance the knowledge of copper nanoparticle synthesis but also shed light on the intricate relationship between nanoparticle properties and their antibacterial efficacy. This research holds promise for the development of tailored antibacterial agents with specific physicochemical properties, offering potential applications in antimicrobial materials and biomedical interventions, contributing to the evolving landscape of nanotechnology-driven solutions for combating bacterial infections.

Weapon detection in surveillance footage is a critical aspect of modern security systems, aiming to prevent potential threats and enhance public safety. Traditional methods of weapon detection often rely on manual inspection, which is labor-intensive and prone to errors. With the advent of deep learning techniques, particularly convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs), there has been a significant shift towards automated and efficient weapon detection in surveillance footage. This systematic review provides an in-depth analysis of recent advancements in weapon detection using deep learning methodologies. Through a systematic search and evaluation of existing literature, this review examines the methodologies, datasets, performance metrics, and challenges encountered in various studies. It explores the effectiveness of deep learning models in detecting weapons with high accuracy and speed, while also addressing factors such as dataset diversity, annotation quality, and real-world applicability. Additionally, the review discusses the impact of transfer learning, data augmentation techniques, and model architectures on the performance of weapon detection systems. Furthermore, it highlights the role of domain adaptation and fine-tuning strategies in improving the generalization capabilities of deep learning models across different surveillance environments. The review also delves into the ethical considerations and privacy implications associated with the deployment of automated weapon detection systems in public spaces. By synthesizing findings from diverse studies, this comprehensive overview aims to provide valuable insights for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers involved in the development and implementation of advanced surveillance technologies for public safety and security purposes

Pendidikan dasar memegang peranan penting dalam perkembangan kepribadian seseorang. Berdasarkan ilmu perkembangan peserta didik, seorang anak yang sedang berada dalam usia pendidikan dasar, yaitu 6 sampai 15 tahun tengah mengalami perkembangan baik secara fisik maupun psikologis. Anak pada usia tersebut akan mengalami masa-masa labil dalam pencarian jati diri sehingga memerlukan pondasi yang kuat dalam pembentukan kepribadian. Pendidikan profetik merupakan pendidikan yang menjadikan para nabi sebagai teladan dalam pembentukan karakter mulia pada peserta didik. Pendidikan profetik berbasis pada Al Qur’an dan sunnah dengan harapan agar tujuan pendidikan dapat dicapai, tidak hanya tujuan hidup di dunia, melainkan hingga tujuan di akhirat. Maraknya penurunan karakter mulia pada peserta didik, menjadikan pendidikan profetik sebagai upaya pembentukan karakter, utamanya pada peserta didik pada jenjang pendidikan dasar perlu diterapkan. Nabi Daud AS sebagai salah satu rasul Allah yang dianugerahi Kitab Zabur, memiliki nilai-nilai profetik yang dapat diajarkan kepada peserta didik. Nilai-nilai profetik Nabi Daud AS meliputi nilai tauhid, nilai ibadah, dan nilai akhlaq. Sedangkan akhlaq yang dapat diteladani dari Nabi Daud AA diantaranya adalah sabar, jujur, patuh, adil, amar ma’ruf, tidak mengikuti hawa nafsu, dan syukur. Penulis menyimpulkan bahwa nilai-nilai profetik Nabi Daud AS ini sangat tepat jika ditanamkan kepada peserta didik jenjang Pendidikan Dasar, sebab pendidikan dasar merupakan tahap awal dalam meletakan dasar kecerdasan, pengetahuan, kepribadian, akhlaq mulia, serta keterampilan untuk hidup mandiri dan mengikuti pendidikan lebih lanjut.

Ancient manuscripts are a highly valuable cultural heritage. As one of the primary sources of research, of course we must appreciate its presence because it contributes to the development of the treasures of science and technology. Research that uses ancient manuscripts as the object of study has been increasingly carried out by scholars recently, both from within and outside the country. Speaking about Mbah Kyai Imam Bukhori Jatinom-Blitar, he cannot be separated from the long history that he has carved with his works. As far as the data that researchers can get, Mbah Kyai Imam Bukhori has many manuscripts that until now not many people know about. Because many have not been identified, let alone codified. This is a concern in itself and a solution must be found immediately, so that future generations can also enjoy the nation's cultural heritage. Remembering that manuscripts are a shortcut to bring the present closer to the past in a genuine way. The research methodology used is philological research, data collection tools by carrying out observations and recording. Philological research work steps include: determining research targets, manuscript inventory, observation, manuscript description, manuscript transliteration, text editing and translation, as well as manuscript content summary and content analysis
The Russian Antihero, Or
Authors: Januszkiewicz Michał
Published: February 2024

The article is an attempt to reflect on the category of the Russian antihero not only as a literary phenomenon, but also as a philosophical and cultural one. The concept of antihero refers to problems that are important for the formation of modern culture, because it models a certain type of anthropology of characters who critically fit into the traditionally established model of heroism and European identity. The Eastern (Russian) perspective adopted here provides an alternative to both Western anthropology and the Western antihero. The specificity of the Russian antihero can be described, among others, on the basis of distinctively Russian problems, such as the so-called ‘superfluous man’ or ‘broad soul.’ The Russian antihero is open to criticism of Western values, such as reason, ‘disenchantment of the world’ (rationalization), and social activism.
The Image of The Last Judgment on the West Wall of the Church in Voroneț
Authors: Szcześniak Maria
Published: February 2024

The article undertakes an analysis of the depiction of The Last Judgment on the western wall of St. George’s Orthodox Church in Voroneț, northern Romania. The composition is part of a larger artistic issue related to the phenomenon of painted churches of northern Moldova, created in its essential core in the 16th century. The objectives established in the title, that is, to determine the genesis and meaning of the composition, encourage tracing several aspects of the fresco. First, it is necessary to outline the possible directions of the influx of inspiration, artists and cultural influences. Next, the sources of the very way of depicting the Day of Judgment and the pictorial formulas used (iconography) should be examined. The message of the work is also directly linked to the functions the fresco has performed over the centuries, reflecting the radical change in the optics of perception depending on the historical and cultural situation. As a whole, it reveals the complex meaning of the image, which invariably makes for an interesting research topic.

Dual-Sided Rotor Design for Performance Boost of Synchronous Reluctance Motors in Electric Vehicles
Authors: Teia Luis
Published: February 2024

Increasing environmental awareness is pushing the design of electic motors to favor none rare-earth solutions (i.e., without permanent magnets), and one such example is the SyncRM 2 (or concentrated-coiled SRM2) being proposed for the electric hybrid automobile Toyota Yaris. Following on an already established line of research on this topic, this article proposes a new design that re-assigns most of the magnetic material in the stator to the rotor—resulting in the Dual-sided SyncRM (a variant of the SRM2). The detrimental effect (caused by the extra gap) of slightly reducing the aligned inductance is overwhelmingly outweighed by the beneficial effect of drastically reducing the unaligned inductance. Extensive back-to-back FEMM analysis was conducted, where the recomputed SRM2 matches previous research, providing confidence to the favorable predictions of the Dual-sided SyncRM. Both performances are compared, with the venue being available for download on an open-source database. A realistic photo-rendered three-dimensional model is displayed and also available. An important outcome is the Dual-sided SyncRM torque (and power) increased by 29% (with respect to the SRM2), achieving a saliency ratio of 10 and an efficiency boost to 91% (at the rated operational speed of 1200rpm).
