Il Dante di Guido Martina
L’Inferno di Topolino e altre storie disneyane ispirate al poema dantesco
Authors: Forte Alessandra
Published: December 2022

This paper focuses on Dantean echoes in the comic stories written by Guido Martina for Disney Italia. The study moves from Martina’s masterpiece, L’Inferno di Topolino (1949-1950), the first of the Grandi Parodie Disney, and will then analyse two less-known comic stories (Paolino Pocatesta e la bella Franceschina and Saga di Messer Papero e Ser Paperone), full of relevant allusions which prove Martina’s deep acquaintance with Dante’s works. The paper will also offer an historical contextualisation of each comic story.
Letters from Ptolemy VIII, Cleopatra II, and Cleopatra III Concerning the Gymnasium of Omboi
Authors: Rossini Alessandro
Published: December 2022

In 135 BC, the gymnasium of Omboi (Upper Egypt) issued a decree immortalising on stone the correspondence concerning some philanthropa bestowed by Ptolemy VIII, Cleopatra II, and Cleopatra III. Only a few years later, the dossier was defaced and the royal names were erased (damnatio memoriae) except for that of Cleopatra II. The inscription has thus been interpreted as an epigraphic evidence of the civil war between Ptolemy VIII, flanked by Cleopatra III, and Cleopatra II. In spite of its poor state of preservation, the Omboi dossier allows some useful considerations on its vicissitudes, along with some further restorations.
Tra poesia e biografia: per una ricognizione della Venezia di Dante
Authors: Lombardo Luca
Published: December 2022

Even if Venice is never directly mentioned in Dante’s works, its silent presence is undeniable along the narrative plot of the Commedia, starting with the well-known similarity of the Arsenale, through which, in the incipit of the XXI canto of the Inferno, the poet describes the pain of the barterers immersed in boiling pitch. Venice, however, is also a significant presence in Dante’s biography, starting from the circumstances of the poet’s death: according to the chronicler Giovanni Villani, in fact, Dante died between September 13 and 14 in Ravenna after having returned from an embassy in Venice to the Doge Giovanni Soranzo on behalf of Guido Novello da Polenta. The article examines the function of Venice in the literary elaboration of Alighieri’s work and in the perimeter of his biography.

Daniele Del Giudice e «la varietà di tutto il resto»
Authors: Agostini Riccardo
Published: December 2022

According to a quite popular opinion, Daniele Del Giudice was not a very prolific writer. The modest number of his novels is taken into account both by his devotees and critics; however this may become an unfair distinctive element of a much more complex author. For about forty years, Del Giudice showed and produced ‘Culture’ throughout press, conferences, curatorships, with the same essential prose and immaculate style of his novels and short stories. He is the author of a consistent collateral anthology that needs to be placed side by side with his literature in order to establish organicity and continuity between the two. The article displays and comments his journalistic works for the Paese Sera and the Corriere.
La banalizzazione dello sguardo: Tempo di uccidere dal romanzo al film
Authors: Lilli Silvia
Published: December 2022

In 1989 was released the cinematographic adaptation of Ennio Flaiano’s novel (1947) Tempo di uccidere (Time to kill) directed by Giuliano Montaldo. This contribution analyses the narratological features of the two versions, showing how in the medial switch the critical sight on Italian colonialism of the novel is turned to a shallow tale where is instead enforced the traditional view of white male superiority, due to the loss of the inner focus, the misread representation of characters, and the underestimation of episodes which served in the book to undermine colonizer’s self-sight and disclose the identity crisis of the following chapters.
Narrer la Négritude de façon transmédiale : le cas du rappeur Youssoupha
Authors: Aiuti Francesca
Published: December 2022

French rap music provides an original contribution to literary exposition, redefinition and re-adaptation. As a postcolonial product, rap music rehabilitates the memory of an often forgotten colonial past and offers a new transdisciplinary and post-colonial perspective on contemporary French society. Through his music, French-Congolese rapper Youssoupha enters into dialogue with French Martinican poet, author and politician Aimé Césaire, one of the founders of the Négritude movement in Francophone literature. Through the analysis of the albums Sur les chemins du retour (2007), Noir D**** (2012) and NGRTD (2015), the purpose of the present study is to investigate how Youssoupha unfolds and actualizes Césaire’s works and the concept of Négritude across multiple media channels.
Antigone Power: una straniera alle frontiere dell’Europa
Authors: De Luca Gaia
Published: December 2022

In many respects, classics may be considered as a language, that was aptly used to legitimate the imperialist exploitation of white people over the so called “Third World countries”. My paper is aimed at understanding whether and to which extent the Greco-Roman Antiquity as such can become a tool for telling a submerged history and for bringing forth its non hegemonic subjects. I will take into consideration a collective experience conducted by a theatre company in the south of Italy during the summer of 2018. Through a workshop involving immigrant people in the city of Palermo, Ali Farah, a Somali-Italian writer, staged an experimental rewriting of Sophocles’Antigone, which starts from the telling of personal stories of migration through the Mediterranean sea. Grounding my analysis in the comparison between Antigone’s defiance of the power and the crossing of borders, I will underline the revolutionary message that the rewriting of this myth in contemporary Fortress Europe delivers.

This contribution aims to analyse a cycle of frescoes at villa Spinola di San Pietro in Genoa. The paintings are attributed to some of the greatest artists who worked in the city in the 1620s and show a continuity of compositional, stylistic and thematic features that were typical of the sixteenth century. This article will also show the importance of Giovanni Andrea dell’Anguillara’s vernacular translation of the Metamorphoses by Ovid to the iconographic programme of the cycle.
William Congdon e Fred Licht
L’Altersstil tra pittura e riflessione critica
Authors: Barbieri Giuseppe
Published: December 2022

Starting from a singular ‘methodological’ note from 1992 by Fred Licht on the Altersstil of American painter William Congdon and from a later art exhibition, the article sheds light on relevant aspects of the late manner of a protagonist of American Abstract Expressionism. The article suggests a possible start date on the background of a dense critical debate, spanning from Clement Greenberg to the beginning of the twenty-first century, and relying on scholars such as Giovanni Testori and Giuseppe Mazzariol. It illustrates a rare example of expressive Survival that connects two fascinating physiognomies of Congdon, an artist who disappeared and reappeared several times throughout the art history and system, and of a great scholar, recently deceased, that deserves not to be forgotten.

Authors: Viranda Datuk Divan Iqbal , Azmi Muhammad , Sopyan Muhamad
Published: December 2022

Malinau Regency was originally one of the sub-districts in Bulungan Regency, on October 12, 1999 there was a regional division where Malinau was separated from Bulungan Regency to become its own regency. The purpose of this study was to find out the background of the division and how the development of Malinau District after the division occurred from 1999 to 2006. This type of research is a historical research with a four-stage historical method which includes heuristics, criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The results showed that the background of the division of Malinau into a district was a decision taken by the Regional Government of Bulungan Regency which at that time was led by Regent R.A. Besing. On the grounds that the area of ​​Bulungan Regency at that time, if not divided, would experience a gap because it had a very large area at that time, it was necessary for him to split this area into 3 regencies, namely Bulungan Regency itself, Malinau Regency, and Nunukan Regency. After the division took place, it certainly had an impact on the people of Malinau, both in terms of economy, education, and health. From the economic aspect itself, it has increased from 2006 to Rp. 554.07 billion. Then in the same year, the education sector also experienced an increase which reached 113 school buildings, as well as for the health aspect it had reached 121 units of health facilities including hospitals, posyandu, and posyandu assistants in 2006
Evaluation of Zakat as a Public Finance Instrument
Authors: BAYRAKTAR Ömer , SENCAL Harun
Published: December 2022

Zakat institution has a special place both politically and financially in the history of Islam. Zakat, as worship, is located beyond as an instrument of public finance, and a distinct institution compared to tax. However, in the modern period, Muslim countries adopt zakat institution into the state bureaucracy as a public finance tool through centralizing the zakat institution and governing it via state apparatus. In this study, we critically explore the role of zakat as a public finance tool and examine how it is implemented in two Muslim nation-states, namely Malaysia and Indonesia. Although these nation-states might aim to fulfill political and financial goals through integration of zakat institution into the state bureaucracy, it is argued that zakat worship should be practiced as a strong bond in society’s dynamics, and its centralization by the sovereign authority leads to the diminishing of such bond and increase the dependence of citizens on the state.

Is the Main Character of the Odyssey Really the Odysseus from the Iliad Himself?
Authors: Vinci Felice , Maiuri Arduino
Published: December 2022

In the Odyssey the figure of Odysseus appears very different from the one outlined in the Iliad, in which he is not an archer. Also considering many other details of the Odyssey narrative – for example, the concomitance between the journey of Telemachus in search of news of his father and the unexpected return of Odysseus after twenty years, not to mention Odysseus’s strange departure from Ithaca after the massacre of the suitors – it is reasonable to assume that who could hide behind the character of Odysseus could be an expert fighter engaged by Telemachus to prevent Penelope’s impending marriage (which might have jeopardized his aspiration to become king of Ithaca). Actually, all the characteristics of the protagonist of the Odyssey correspond in an extraordinary way to those of a hero of the Iliad, the Cretan Meriones, who during the Trojan War had distinguished himself as a very strong and shrewd warrior and archer: it was he who won the archery competition in the games on the occasion of Patroclus's funeral. One can assume, therefore, that Telemachus on his journey to Pylos and Sparta met that veteran of the Trojan War who put his experience as a fighter at the disposal of the son of his former comrade in arms, helped him solve his problems and left soon after. However, later the poet of the Odyssey would have twisted the reality of the facts in order to transform the final massacre of dozens of unarmed men into a heroic and morally acceptable act. One should also consider that in this new interpretation the journey of Telemachus gains a fundamental importance, while in the traditional reading of the Odyssey it appears completely irrelevant. Keywords: Odyssey, Odysseus, Meriones, Homer, Ithaca

What 20 Years of MDRC RCTs Suggest About Predictive Relationships Between Intervention Features and Intervention Impacts for Community College Students
Authors: Weiss Michael J. , Bloom Howard S. , Singh Kriti
Published: December 2022

This article provides evidence about predictive relationships between features of community college interventions and their impacts on student progress. This evidence is based on analyses of student-level data from large-scale randomized trials of 39 (mostly) community college interventions. Specifically, the evidence consistently indicates that impacts tend to be larger as the number of intervention components increases and with the degree to which interventions promote full-time enrollment in fall and spring and/or summer enrollment. Less consistent evidence suggests that impacts tend to be larger for interventions that increase advising, tutoring, and, to a lesser extent, financial support. These results provide food for thought about the design of future community college innovations to be tested by researchers or tried by practitioners.
Ideas as a Factor of Development in a Human-Oriented Economy

Published: December 2022

Factors contributing to social and economic development are among the key topics of economic research, in particular F. A. Hayek and J. M. Keynes pointed out the role played by ideas in this process. This study focuses on the role of ideas in a human-centred economy and aims to find directions for generating ideas in a human-oriented economy by applying methods of content analysis, forming the theoretical basis of the study and author’s categorical method of scenario project of economic system movement on development trajectory determined by the directions of generating ideas. As a result, a conceptual model has been developed reflecting the impact of directions of generating ideas on scenario development of a human-oriented economy. The author reveals that directions of generating ideas are uncertainty of manifestation. The sources and mechanisms of human needs (through external influence or as result of the influence of human’s nature) determine directions of generating ideas in development. The scenarios of economic development are based on the ideas which were previously constructed and already accepted in society or adapted to the current needs of each person. The research findings can be used to develop measures for the development of creatosphere, which is the main component of human-oriented economy. They can also provide a theoretical and methodological foundation for further scientific inquiry in this field.

Published: December 2022

Peringatan dini akan munculnya resesi global menjadi perhatian bagi seluruh negara di dunia. Isu ini diperkuat ketika banyak institusi finansial dunia seperti Bank Dunia dan International Monetary Fund (IMF) ikut mendengungkan isu ini. Isu ini bermula ketika banyak negara di dunia menaikkan suku bunga secara agresif untuk menekan tingkat inflasi. Bank Amerika Serikat (THE FED) terus melanjutkan kebijakan kenaikan suku bunga dalam beberapa bulan terakhir dan diprediksi akan mencapai 3-4% yang merupakan suku bunga tertinggi di Amerika dalam 15 tahun terakhir. Bank Sentral Inggris juga ikut menaikkan suku bunga sebesar 2,25% yang menjadi suku bunga tertinggi dalam 14 tahun terakhir. Terakhir Uni Eropa menetapkan suku bunga tertingginya dalam 11 tahun terakhir yaitu 1,25%. Meskipun banyak ekonom yang mengatakan Indonesia jauh dari kata resesi, bukan berarti resesi global tidak akan memberi dampak kepada Indonesia. Penguatan ekonomi akan menjadi penting dalam meminimalisir ancaman ini. Metodologi yang digunakan adalah metode kualitatif studi kepustakaan dengan sumber dari pustaka keuangan negara serta jurnal yang menunjang informasi yang diperlukan. Hasil pembahasan menunjukan bahwa untuk menghadapi ancaman resesi global dengan menerapkan strategi pada keuangan negara yaitu dengan penerapan ekonomi hijau. Keputusan untuk menerapkan strategi harus dapat segera dilaksanakan karena resesi global diprediksi akan terjadi dalam hitungan bulan sehingga dalam menghadapi ancaman ini Indonesia harus siap melalui ekonomi yang sehat dan kuat.

Published: December 2022

This study aimed to investigate the antimicrobial resistance and virulence genes of enterococci isolated from water buffalo’s subclinical mastitis cases. The antimicrobial susceptibilities of the isolates were determined by the disc diffusion method. Identification at the species level of enterococci, virulence [aggregation substance (asa1), gelatinase (gelE), cytolysin (cylA), enterococcal surface protein (esp), and hyaluronidase (hyl)] and resistance genes [macrolide (ermA, ermB, mefA/E) and tetracycline (tetK, tetL, tetM, tetO, and tetS)] were investigated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Overall, Enterococcus spp. was recovered from 65 of 200 (32.5%) mastitic milk samples, comprising E. faecium (n=26), E. durans (n=22), E. faecalis (n=12), and E. hirae (n=5). Most isolates (56.9%) were susceptible to all tested antibiotics. The rest of the isolates showed various rate of resistance against rifampicin (23.1%), tetracycline (21.5%), quinupristin-dalfopristin (10.8%), ciprofloxacin (7.7%), erythromycin (6.2%), and chloramphenicol (3.1%). Out of 65 enterococci, only 16 (24.6%) were detected to have virulence genes, of which 12 were positive for gelE, seven were positive for esp, two were positive for asa1, and one was positive for hlyA. The gene cylA was not detected in any isolate tested. Resistance to tetracycline was mainly associated with tetM. Two erythromycin-resistant isolates were positive for ermB, and one was positive for mefA/E. This study was the first to report species distribution, antimicrobial susceptibility, and virulence traits of enterococci isolated from subclinical mastitis of water buffaloes in Çorum Province, Türkiye.

MEKANISME PASAR ISLAMI
Authors: Amelia Kiki Rezky
Published: December 2022

Pasar adalah tempat bertemunya antara penjual dan pembeli dan melakukan transaksi barang atau jasa. Pasar merupakan sebuah mekanisme pertukaran barang dan jasa yang alamiah dan telah berlangsung sejak awal peradaban manusia. Dalam Islam pasar sangatlah penting dalam perekonomian. Pasar telah terjadi pada masa Rasulullah dan Khulafaur Rasyidin dan menjadi sunatullah yang telah di jalani selama berabad-abad (P3EI, 2011).Pasar yang selama ini berkembang khususnya di Indonesia hanya tertuju pada upaya pemaksimalan untuk mencari keuntungan sebesar-besarnya semata dan cenderung terfokus pada kepentingan sepihak. Sistem tersebut nampaknya kurang tepat dengan sistem ekonomi syariah yang menekankan konsep manfaat yang lebih luas pada kegiatan ekonomi termasuk didalamnya mekanisme pasar dan pada setiap kegiatan ekonomi itu mengacu kepada konsep maslahat dan menjunjung tinggi asas-asas keadilan.

Developing the Zero Waste Awareness Scale and determining the zero waste awareness levels of the pre-service science teacher
Authors: Kayış Öznur , Yıldırım Ezgi Güven
Published: December 2022

The main purpose of this research is to develop a Zero Waste Awareness Scale (ZWAS) with appropriate psychometric properties. Another aim of the study is to reveal the zero waste awareness levels of pre-service science teacher. The study was designed according to the survey method. The study group for this research was determined by a convenient sampling method. The study group in the scale development phase of the research consisted of 203 teacher candidates. In the phase of determining the zero waste awareness levels of the pre-service science teachers, the research study group consisted of 40 pre-service science teachers. With this research, a 3-dimensional, 27-item ZWAS was developed. During the scale development process, the draft scale was applied to 203 pre-service teachers, and the obtained data were subjected to validity and reliability analysis. According to the explanatory factor analysis, the scale explains 42% of the total variance. When the results of the explanatory factor analysis are examined, it is seen that the factor loads of the 27 items in the scale vary between.33 and.80. The internal consistency coefficient of the scale was found to be Cronbach Alpha .86. The developed scale was applied to pre-service science teachers in the next stage. As a result of the study, it was found that when the maximum score that can be obtained from the scale (54 points) is taken into account, it is noteworthy that the pre-service science teachers' average scores from the scale are low. As a result of this study, a valid and reliable Zero Waste Awareness Scale has been brought to the relevant literature.
Using foreshocks to constrain earthquake nucleation: low foreshock to aftershock ratios in the Hikurangi subduction zone
Authors: Colquhoun Rebecca , Hawthorne Jessica
Published: December 2022

The complexity and duration of earthquake nucleation is an open question. Our understanding of this process is limited by a lack of high-quality observations of foreshocks and aftershocks. We therefore apply a coherence-based template matching approach to search for more foreshocks and aftershocks. We examine the half-hour before thousands of M3+ mainshocks on the Hikurangi subduction zone in New Zealand, and make new detections of foreshocks and aftershocks which are close in space and time to the mainshocks. For M4+ events, we find 68% fewer foreshocks than expected if earthquake nucleation is explained by the most intuitive type of earthquake-earthquake triggering: single-mode triggering. The number of foreshocks suggests that nucleation must be more extended and complex, perhaps driven by external processes like pore-pressure changes.
Role of fluid on earthquake occurrence: Example of the 2019 Ridgecrest and the 1997, 2009 and 2016 Central Apennines sequences
Authors: Kariche Jugurtha
Published: December 2022

This paper focuses on the study of the temporal evolution of seismicity and the role of fluids during major earthquake sequences that occurred in the central Apennines and Southern Walker Lane belt-Eastern California Shear Zone over the last two decades: The 1997 Colfiorito sequence, the 2009 L’Aquila sequence, the 2016 Amatrice-Norcia sequence, and the 2019 Ridgecrest sequence. The availability of different high-quality seismic catalogs offers the opportunity to evaluate in detail the temporal evolution of the earthquake's size distribution (or b-value) and propose a physical explanation based on the effect of the fluid flow process in triggering seismicity. For all seismic sequences, the b-value time series show a gradual decrease from a few months to one year before mainshocks. The gradual decrease in the b-value is interpreted in terms of coupled fluid-stress intensity as a gradual increase in earthquake activity due essentially to the short-term to intermediate-term pore-fluid fluctuations. For the 2016 Amatrice-Norcia sequence and the 2019 Ridgecrest sequence, the temporal variation of the b-value during the foreshock sequence is characterized by a double b-value minimum separated by a short-lived b-value increase as observed in laboratory experiments on water-saturated rocks. Based on laboratory experiment results, the observed short–term fluctuation of the b-value is presented here as an accelerating crack growth due essentially to the fluid flow instability. Despite that the occurrence of seismic precursors could have been predictable in areas with high dense seismic networks, the different b-value time series show difficulty to establish a correspondence between the duration of the foreshock activity and the magnitude of the next largest expected earthquake. This may suggest that the spatial and temporal evolution of fluid migration controls the size of the ruptures.
Not all input is equal: the efficacy of book reading in infants’ word learning is mediated by child-directed speech
Authors: Ko Eon-Suk , McDonald Margarethe
Published: December 2022

We investigate the mechanism by which book reading facilitates children’s wordlearning despite the small proportion of time it occupies in everyday activities. 31Korean infants and their families participated in our longitudinal study composedof surveys, day-long LENA®(Language Environment Analysis) recordings, andeye-tracking word comprehension tests. We found that infants whose parentsread with them more often at 7 months of age looked to target words in a word-comprehension task with greater accuracy at 13 months. Importantly, this effectis completely mediated by the amount of child-directed speech in the input thechildren get. The amount of overheard speech did not have an effect on infants’word recognition. Our results suggest that infants do not treat all input equally butselectively process input embedded in social contexts.
Examining the influence of generalized trust on life satisfaction across different education levels and socioeconomic conditions using the Bayesian Mindsponge Framework
Authors: Le Tam-Tri , Nguyen Minh-Hoang , Jin Ruining , La Viet-Phuong , Nguyen Hong-Son , Vuong Quan-Hoang
Published: December 2022

Extant literature suggests a positive correlation between social trust (also called generalized trust) and life satisfaction. However, the psychological pathways underlying this relationship can be complex. Using the Bayesian Mindsponge Framework (BMF), we examined the influence of social trust in a high-violence environment. Employing Bayesian analysis on a sample of 1237 adults in Cali, Colombia, we found that in a linear relationship, generalized trust is positively associated with life satisfaction. However, in a model including the interactions between trust and education level as well as between trust and socioeconomic status, generalized trust is found to be negatively associated with life satisfaction. In this non-linear relationship, both education level and socioeconomic status have moderating effects against the negative association between generalized trust and life satisfaction. In other words, less educated people living in worse socioeconomic conditions are more likely to have lower life satisfaction when they have higher levels of social trust. In contrast, highly educated people living in better socioeconomic conditions are more likely to have higher life satisfaction when they have higher levels of social trust. Due to the facilitating function of trust in information processing, lowering the rigor of the filtering system in a high-violence social environment will likely put an individual at risk. Based on our findings, we suggest that policymakers should consider the impacts of social contexts when advocating for increasing social trust. We also recommend that researchers carefully examine the psychological mechanism underlying an observed association before making suggestions for policymaking.
Effects of College Quality on Initial Employment After Graduation: Evidence from the Japanese Labor Market with Respect to New Graduates
Authors: Hirao Tomotaka , Murasawa Masataka , Umezaki Osamu
Published: December 2022

This study analyzes the influence of college quality on obtaining initial employment after graduation in the Japanese labor market with respect to new graduates. Although there is lively debate in Western countries on the economic effects of college quality, no consensus regarding the effects of college quality on labor market outcomes has been reached at the present time. In addition, there are few studies about the effects of college quality on labor market outcomes in Japan because of data limitations. Therefore, we came up with the following questions: 1) what roles do universities play in the Japanese labor market; and 2) what are the effects of college quality on obtaining initial employment after graduation? Using newly available data that accurately matched individual survey data and institutional data, this study analyzes the effects of college quality on obtaining initial employment in order to attempt to answer these questions. Empirical results show that graduates from top universities are more likely to obtain initial employment than are graduates from lower tier universities, and that the effects of college quality, excepting university rank, on obtaining employment after graduation became indistinguishable from zero, similar to some previous research. College quality, therefore, does not appear to be a determining factor of obtaining initial employment in the Japanese labor market for recent graduates.

School leadership plays a key role in improving school outcomes as well as the school environment by motivating teachers. This study was carried out considering the major roles of the HT in making school programmes effective in Chinese context. Data were collected through interviews with students and teachers; review of books, reports, journals, and various publications with a view to explore the role of HT. The school website (in Chinese language translated to English) was also studied for information. The study revealed that HT is the most senior teacher and leader of a school, responsible for the education of all pupils, management of staff, and for school policy making. There is a positive moderate relationship between the leadership style and students’ academic performance in high school. This study has also established that the leadership that is instrumental towards school improvement is of ‘distributed’ kind of leadership; and the coordinated and collaborative efforts of the HT, teachers, students, parents, community leaders, district administrator and others becomes instrumental in ensuring the quality of education in school.

The aim of this project is to study Atmospheric Linke turbidity index over Deukhuri Valley, Dang (27°50’32.2" N, 82°45’41.9" E and 445 m a. s. l.). The atmospheric Linke Turbidity index is calculated from solar radiation measurements of NASA satellite for period of 4 years (2015, 2016, 2017, 2018). The annual average clearness index (KT ), Linke turbidity index (LT ) and visibility are 0.55 ± 0.12, 2.5 ± 1.1 and 10.4 ± 3.8 km respectively. Atmospheric Linke turbidity index is used on agriculture, hydrology, climate change and energy harvesting. In study period, number of good days (visibility > 15 km) and number of bad days (visibility < 5 km) are found to be 188 and 94 respectively. This research work is beneficial for the further identification, impact and analysis of atmospheric turbidity at different places.

Authors: Omelchenko M. A. , Migalina V. V.
Published: December 2022

Objective: Establishing a link between the structure and severity of psychopathological symptoms and the level of functioning in patients at risk of schizophrenia.

   Material and Methods: The study examined 38 patients with a depressive episode with attenuated positive symptoms (APS) from the risk group of schizophrenia hospitalized in 2011-2015. The follow-up was 7.3 ± 1.7 years. At the time of the examination, all patients were in remission. HDRS (Hamilton Depression Rating Scale), SOPS (Scale of Prodromal Symptoms) and (SANS) Scale for Assessment of Negative Symptoms were used. Statistical analysis was carried out using the Statistica 12 program.   Results: At the time of the survey, 21.1% of the cases were diagnosed as schizophrenic (F25 and F20 according to ICD-10), 28.9 % as affective (F34.0, F31.3, F31.7 and F33.4), 13.2 % as personal disorders (F60.1, F60.a, F3.8 per cent) and 36,8 % as schizotypal disorders (F21.3, F21.4, F21.5, F21.8). Social performance on the PSP scale of 13.2 % was rated as high (100-81 points), 28.9 % and 31.6 % as average (80-61 and 60-41 points respectively) and 26.3 % as low (less than 40 points). The strongest correlations (p˂0.05) are found between total scores on the SOPS scale, negative SOPS scores, total SANS score and PSP score (- 0.854, - 0.876, - 0.812 respectively), subscale of negative SOPS symptoms and socially beneficial PSP activity (-0.831) subscale of apathy-anhedonia SANS and social relations PSP (0,801).

   Discussion: A high level of social functioning is possible provided there is a complete reduction of the prodromal and depressive symptoms, at medium levels, functioning is determined primarily by increasing negative symptoms, especially the domain of avolition - apathy, and low levels are formed by persistent APS, increasing symptoms of disorganization and negative symptoms.

   Conclusion: The study showed that the outcome of the first depressive episode with the risk symptoms of schizophrenia is generally characterized by some degree of decline in social functioning, which cannot be considered as a phenomenon in its own right, on the contrary, it’s a derivative of psychopathological symptoms.

Introduction: Currently, there is a large amount of data that inflammatory and oxidative stress biomarkers, pterin metabolism disturbances and other biochemical abnormalities are more often present in schizophrenia compared to general population. They may also play the role of etiopathogenetic factors in schizophrenia mechanisms. At the same time, there are no studies with an assessment of a wide range of correctable biochemical abnormalities in one sample of patients. Moreover, screening algorithms for the detection and personalized correction of controlled biomarkers have not been introduced into clinical practice yet.

   The aim of this work was to evaluate the prevalence of significant etiopathogenetic biochemical disturbances in patients with schizophrenia in order to justify the need for biochemical screening and correction of the corresponding abnormalities.

   Materials and methods: in the blood serum of 125 patients with schizophrenia and 95 healthy volunteers the levels of folate and cobalamin (B12) (chemiluminescent immunoassay on microparticles), homocysteine (HC, enzymatic analysis), tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4, competitive enzyme immunoassay, ELISA), reduced glutathione (GSH, spectrophotometry with Ellman’s reagent), interleukin-6 (IL-6, ELISA based on a three-stage «sandwich version») and C-reactive protein (CRP, immunoturbodimetric method) were evaluated.

   Results: In patients with schizophrenia the level of all studied serum biochemical markers, except for B12, was significantly different compared to healthy volunteers. The deviations levels of the studied parameters from the reference values in patients were statistically significantly higher in the markers of pterin metabolism (VH4: p = 0.0000; folates: p = 0.0000; HC: p = 0.0094). 29.6 % of patients were carriers of 4 or more studied biochemical abnormalities, while among healthy volunteers this occured in 5.3 % of cases (Xi2 = 19.2; p < 0.001).

   Conclusion: The results obtained raise the question for the need of monitoring principles for a number of biochemical markers in schizophrenia and their implementation in clinical practice.
