Authors: ALTUN Eda , ULU Sena , APAYDIN Süheyla , GÜVEN Bahtışen
Published: December 2022

Purpose: BK virus nephropathy (BKVN) is a latent infection and it is closely associated with immunsuppressive therapy. We aimed in this study to evaluate biopsy-proven BKVN and investigate frequency, risk factors and treatment management.

Materials and Methods: In this study, 422 kidney transplant recipients were analysed retrospectively between April 2014 and April 2020 for biopsy-proven BK virus nephropathy. Group I included 16 kidney transplant patients with biopsy-proven BK nephropathy and group II included 36 kidney transplant patients with negative BK virus nephropathy. We aimed demographic, clinical features of kidney transplant recipients with BKVN (group I, n: 16 ) and non-BKVN (group II, n:36) were compared and the factors affecting of BKVN.

Results: The mean age of grup I and group II were were 41±14.8 years and 39±15.2 respectively. The patients mean follow-up period of 43±11.2 months. Serum creatinine and proteinuria degree were significantly higher in the group with BKVN. In order to reduce the dose of immunosuppression in patients with BKVN, tacrolimus treatment was discontinued in 8 patients, and they were switched to everolimus + MMF + prednisone treatment, leflunamide + MMF + prednisone treatment in 4 patients, and sirolimus + MMF + prednisone treatment in 4 patients. The mean serum creatinine level of the patients who were followed up were observed as 1.78±0.98 mg/dl in group I.

Conclusion: In our center, the prevalance of BKVN was found 3.92% during the study period. Reduction of dose immunosuppressive therapy is the most effective treatment. It is thought that there was no differences between Leflunamide and other approaches for treatment. Early diagnosis and screening (frequently intervals) seems to be most effective way for BKVN.

Authors: DAMAR ÇAKIRCA Tuba , BAL Tayibe
Published: December 2022

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine whether there is a relationship between COVID-19 infection and ABO and Rh blood groups.

Materials and Methods: 1360 patients with positive SARS-CoV-2 RNA test between April 2020 and March 2022 and 80219 healthy controls whose blood groups were determined before March 2020 were included in this study. Patients were classified according to disease severity as mild, moderate, severe and critical.

Results: Patient and control groups were matched in terms of age and gender using case-control matched method. 1360 patients and 1161 controls were included in the analysis. Of the patients, 42.1% (n=572) had mild, 41.5% (n=564) moderate, 13.8% (n=187) severe and 2.7% (n=37) critical course of infection. It was observed that patients with blood group A were 1.33 times more at risk (OR: 1.33, 95%Cl: 1.12-1.56) for the development of COVID-19 infection compared to patients with other blood groups. No relationship was found between ABO and Rh blood groups and severe-critical COVID-19 disease, need for intensive care and mortality. However, when patients are divided into two groups as mild and non-mild (moderate, severe, critical); the frequency of having O and B blood groups was found to be significantly higher in non-mild cases than in mild cases ( (53.3% and 46.7%), (64.5% and 35.5%, respectively).

Conclusion: In our study, while A blood group was found to be at risk for the development of COVID-19 infection, no relationship was found between Rh blood groups and susceptibility to the disease. In addition, the rate of O and B blood groups was found to be higher in patients who did not have mild disease.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the mRNA expression level of p16, CDK4, CDK6, Cyclin D, RB1, and E2F genes in preterm premature rupture of membrane (PPROM) cases and their roles in etiopathogenesis of PPROM.

Materials and Methods: Twenty-one pregnancies with PPROM before 34th gestational weeks (study group) were compared with twenty pregnancies with no complication, who gave birth after 37th gestational-week (control group). Both groups chorioamniotic membranes were compared for mRNA expression of p16, cyclin D, CDK4, CDK6, RB1 and E2F genes.

Results: The mRNA expression levels of p16, cyclin D, CDK4, CDK6, RB1and E2F genes decreased in the PPROM group compared to control group at a statistically significant level.

Conclusion: Our findings have shown that oxidative stress may not act on the p16 pathway in these cases. In order to understand the molecular mechanism of PPROM, biomarkers of oxidative stress and aging should be evaluated together with other pathways related to aging and oxidative stress in future studies.

Published: December 2022

Purpose: The aim of the study was to examine the mental health outcomes of folic acid (FA) supplement use in the antenatal and postnatal periods.

Materials and Methods: This descriptive-prospective longitudinal study was conducted between 1 December 2019 and 30 January 2021 in a Family Health Center in eastern Turkey. The study was performed at one week in the postpartum period, at 6-8 weeks in the postpartum period, and at six months in the postpartum period. A total of 162 healthy pregnant women were included in the study. A Personal Information Form, the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS) were used to collect data.

Results: While 32.7% (n=53) of the participants used FA supplementation from the pre-pregnancy period and in the first trimester of pregnancy (6 months in total), and 34.6% (n=56) used FA supplementation only in the first trimester of pregnancy. It was determined that 32.7% (n=53) of the participants did not use any FA supplement. Of those who did not use FA, 37.0% were in the antenatal period, and 50.8% were on the postnatal 6-8 days. It was determined that the participants experienced mild/moderate/severe anxiety in different weeks. BAI and EPDS scores were the lowest in the prenatal period, at 6-8 weeks in the postpartum period, and at 6 months in the postpartum period in those who used FA supplementation for 6 months. BAI and EPDS scores decreased significantly from the antenatal, to the postnatal 6-8-week, and to the postnatal 6-month measurements.

Conclusion: The use of FA supplements can be effective in preventing symptoms of anxiety and depression in the antenatal and postnatal period.
The Challenges of the Diagnosis and Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea in Pregnancy
Authors: D’Ambrosio Carolyn M ,   Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, CT, USA, Walker Alexander ,   Yale New Haven Health Program, New Haven, CT, USA
Published: December 2022

With the increased prevalence of obesity worldwide, the incidence of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) has risen substantially. OSA is now also more commonly recognized within the pregnant population. The diagnosis of OSA during pregnancy is logistically difficult for many reasons. The symptoms of an uncomplicated pregnancy are traditionally believed to include sleep disruption and daytime sleepiness, without many specific data differentiating ‘normal’ from ‘pathological’, thus complicating the screening process for a true sleep disorder based on symptoms alone. Untreated OSA during pregnancy is associated with a variety of gestational health disorders, along with increased complications during delivery. Although screening protocols and increased healthcare provider awareness have led to earlier diagnosis and treatment of OSA in the general population, their implementation in the pregnant population is lacking. Studies on the use of continuous positive airway pressure in pregnancy have demonstrated its safety, but further research is needed to determine its benefits in this cohort.

Ovarian cancer (OC) ranks 8th among cancers in women. It is a non-visualizable, non-screenable cancer with late onset of symptoms and diagnosis, which translates into low recurrence-free and overall survival rates. The 5-year survival decreases as the OC stage increases. The World Health Organization has predicted a 47 % increase in the OC incidence by 2040 to approximately 434,000 newly diagnosed cases and an annual 59 % increase in OC mortality (up to 293,000 cases). There are several difficulties in the current clinical, imaging, and intraoperative frozen-section diagnosis of OC. Patients seek medical attention when the disease has reached the advanced stage. However, specific treatment often starts late due to a long time between the first patient-physician contact and the histological verification of the diagnosis. It is vital to know the limitations and complexities of diagnostic tools, overcome them in routine practice, and use an interdisciplinary approach to the evaluation of their findings. Goal: to review the difficulties in making clinical, imaging, and intraoperative frozen-section diagnosis of OC based on Russian and worldwide literature data.Materials and methods: articles focused on the diagnostic modalities for OC that had been published in the PubMed, Cochrane Library, and eLIBRARY databases over the past 15 years were reviewed. The review outlines the limitations and difficulties in making clinical, imaging, and intraoperative frozen-section diagnosis of OC based on data from international publications and experience of gynecological oncologists and pathologists of the Chelyabinsk Regional Clinical Center of Oncology and Nuclear Medicine.

Published: December 2022

We herein present the exceptional case of a patient, who injured a sciatic nerve due to avulsion of proximal hamstring tendon in a motorcycle accident. The 63-year-old man was diagnosed firstly with an incomplete fracture of distal femur. A foot drop on the right side was observed when the full-length cast was removed two months later. The patient was referred to the neurology clinic and was diagnosed with a sciatic nerve lesion at the proximal level of the biceps femoris. Magnetic resonance imaging of the thigh showed a proximal avulsion of hamstring muscles tendon. The patient did not improve by short-term physiotherapy and neurosurgical intervention. Sciatic nerve injury can be a result of proximal hamstring avulsion in events such as motorcycle accidents even in the absence of complete or major femur fracture.

Published: December 2022

O presente trabalho teve por objetivo identificar os fatores que dificultam a prática avaliativa no interior da escola. O estudo criterioso dos dados coletados, em confronto com o referencial teórico, possibilitou constatar que os professores: a) têm grande dificuldade em diferenciar a avaliação da aprendizagem das ações de testar e medir, o que transforma o processo avaliativo em um momento estanque e frenador do processo ensino-aprendizagem; b) apresentam grande dificuldade em compreender a avaliação da aprendizagem em uma perspectiva diagnóstico-formativa, mas a mantém restrita a uma prática classificatória e sentenciosa, que pouco contribui para a progressão continuada do aluno na apropriação do saber; c) têm grande dificuldade em atuar coletivamente, respeitando as individualidades e balizando suas ações e intervenções pedagógicas nas necessidades e dificuldades manifestas pelos alunos; d) necessitam aprofundar-se teoricamente na temática, para melhor orientar as novas formas de avaliar, tornando o ato de avaliar mais participativo e dinâmico.

Published: December 2022

Geothermal heat exchanger (GHE) technology is commonly used in residential and small non-residential buildings, and examples of innovative compact GHE designs are provided. The essential physical properties and processes involved in shallow GHE behavior are described, some of which may be more complex than those required for other types of GHE. This paper discusses the use of a geothermal heat exchanger to extract underground energy for heating and cooling systems and focuses specifically on designing a ground heat exchanger made of environmentally friendly materials suitable for working in the zone of Babylon Governorate in Iraq. At different burial depths, three systems of horizontal heat exchangers were designed. The heat exchanger was designed with pipes made of peroxide cross-linked polyethylene (PEX), in which the pipes were buried to a depth of 2 m under the soil. Also, another system was designed where the pipes are made of multi-layer composite pipe (Mlcp) at a burial depth of 2.5 m and another layer at a depth of 3 m. In this research, several tests were carried out to reach the conditions in which the ground heat exchanger is at its best performance. The effect of buried depth on heat removed from the space has been studied. This test was studying at a flow rate equal to (4 lpm) and the inlet temperature of water equal to approximately (50℃). The effect of changing the flow rates on heat removed from the ground heat transfer system is being studied. Buried depth of PEX pipes is 2m, inlet water temperature (50℃) is chosen as a case study to analyze this effect. The first experimental has shown the heat removed is equal to 2200.942 watts at 8.30 am when buried at a depth of 2m, while it reaches 3679.474 watts at a depth of 3 m. The results show the maximum coefficient of performance (COP) at (3 lpm) is 12.897 and it becomes 5.99 at 4 LPM. Also, the results show that the COP of PEX pipes can be higher than that of its counterparts when pipes are made from MLCp.
Markov Renewal Prediction and Radial Kronecker Neural Network Based Handover for Seamless Mobility
Authors: Dhandapani Sridhar , Chelliah Chandrasekar
Published: December 2022

Prevailing personal mobile network architectures make use of streamlined mobility control system, where the complete understanding is concentrated on single-end that results in scarce of dynamic mobility support when data volume is found to be large. The present-day networks necessitate seamless connections regardless of node position and connectivity that has to be accomplished between personal are network (PAN). In this work, a novel method called, Markov Renewal Prediction and Radial Kronecker Neural Network (MRP-RKNN) based optimized handover for seamless mobility in PAN is proposed. By employing a Markov Renewal Prediction model for Seamless Mobility along with the two-hop network architecture, in this paper, we propose a transition probabilities (TP) function to mitigate the persistent handover issue in conventional wireless communication systems. The proposed Markov Renewal Prediction model for Seamless Mobility significantly reduces handover execution time and seamless mobility handover accuracy with efficient transition probabilities. In PANs, the unavoidable deployment of low power sink nodes permits the mobile nodes with many issues in terms of Quality of Service (QoS) due to complication of recurrent handovers due to high mobility. Addressing this issue of handover optimization in the deployment of PAN, this work proposes a model called to optimize the handovers in a cost-efficient manner. In this work, Radial Kronecker Delta Neural Network is utilized for handling frequent handovers based on received signal strength and cost metrics. Here, the resultant desired output is obtained using the Radial Kronecker function being a function of two variables with which optimized handover is performed. Simulation results presented in the study exhibits the performance and prediction rate of the proposed method in terms of handover execution time, seamless mobility prediction accuracy, mobility handover cost and packet loss rate.

Authors: Albarillo Frans , Kennedy Marie , Brancolini Kristine
Published: December 2022

Objective – This article reports the survey findings from a mixed-methods assessment of the six-year Institute for Research Design in Librarianship (IRDL). The Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) provided funding for IRDL from 2014-2019; during this time, 124 academic and research librarians participated in a year-long continuing education program for novice researchers. This article assesses the effectiveness of IRDL in meeting short-term and long-term goals related to research productivity, job performance, and identity as a researcher. Beyond the assessment of IRDL itself, the study addresses the implications of IRDL for creating effective research continuing education programs and institutional support for librarian research.
Methods – In the first part of a two-phase study, we surveyed all 124 librarians who completed the in-person summer research workshop and year-long online follow-up program. The lead researcher invited those who completed the survey to participate in the study's second phase, a focus group or an in-depth interview.
Results – Eighty-nine participants responded to the survey, for a 72% response rate. The results show that IRDL was successful in helping a majority of participants complete their IRDL project and conduct new research. Participants reported work-related benefits of participating in the program, including tenure, rank promotion, merit-based salary increases, and new employment opportunities. IRDL contributed to developing personal learning networks, research collaborations, and a sense of identity as a researcher. IRDL increased the research confidence of the participants by providing them with research methods instruction, coupled with an opportunity to practice what they have learned during a year-long support program.
Conclusion – This assessment study confirms that IRDL is an effective program for novice librarian-researchers who want to improve their research skills, develop new research relationships among their peers, and advance in their careers. It also provides insight into the conditions for a successful continuing education and research support program. Many librarians experience anxiety about conducting and disseminating their research; IRDL demonstrates the importance of placing novice researchers in a supportive environment, where research is viewed as a positive experience that is directly related to professional success. These experiences lead to increased confidence and identity as a researcher, which contributes to increased research productivity.

The article examines the role of the family in the formation of the attitude towards money. The circumstances of family financial conflicts are investigated. The cases of financial contradictions in the parental family are analyzed. (based on the memories of an adult about his childhood. Situations where either emotional or rational aspect prevailed in financial decision-making are investigated. Special aspects of financial behavior strategies, attitudes to spending and investments are clarified. The conclusions are made that the usual emotional schemes about money are passed from generation to generation. Getting into a conflict of loyalty between parents “there and then”, a person may experience conflicting feelings about money “here and now”. Money, difficulties in relationships, power struggles, recognition – can be the cause and the reason of conflicts, as well as the undifferentiated complex of feelings, emotions, expectations and interpretations.

Az üzletmenetre gyakorolt hatások elemzése, mint az üzletmenet-folytonosság menedzsment egyik legfontosabb sarokköve a menedzsment területen újszerű szemléletre épül, azonban a módszertan maga a mai napon is folyamatos fejlődés alatt áll. Nemzetközi szakértői kör keresi és modellezi azt a hatékony és jobban célzó megközelítést, mely segítségével hozzá lehet járulni a gazdasági társulásokra ható váratlan veszélyekkel szemben ellenálló képesség növeléséhez. A szükségesnél lassabb ütemben, de Magyarországon is növekvő érdeklődés mutatkozik a téma iránt, ezért egy tanulmány nemzetközi szakirodalom szövegelemzésével próbálta meg azonosítani azokat a kritikus területeket, ahol koncentráltan és nagy valószínűséggel jelenhet meg az üzleti áramlásokra ható akadály, vagy zavar. Ezt követően empirikus vizsgálattal arra kereste a választ, hogy a Magyarországon működő gazdasági társulások milyen viszonyban állnak ezzel a szemlélettel, illetve az üzletmenetre gyakorolt hatások kritikus területeivel.
A szociális farmok helyzete és elméleti keretei
Authors: Bazsik István
Published: December 2022

Hazánkban a szociális farmrendszer gyermekcipőben jár. Az első szociális gazdaságok ugyan a 2000-es évek elején kormányzati támogatással létrejöttek, azonban szélesebb célcsoportok számára nem érhető el ma sem. Az edukáció, a társadalmi felzárkóztatás, a reintegráció, és a fizikai-mentális egészség megőrzés és javítás, illetve az agrárszakember képzésre történő toborzás olyan feladatok, amelyeknek a szociális farm az egyik, ha nem a legjobb formája. Ennek ellenére alig lehet Magyarországon hozzájutni ilyen szolgáltatáshoz, mivel kevés ilyen farm létezik. Az érintett célcsoportok a hátrányoshelyzetűek, a szenvedélybetegek, a szellemi és/vagy fizikai fogyatékkal élők, a beilleszkedni vágyó büntetett előéletűek, és végül, de nem utolsó sorban a gyermekek, és az idősek. Az elmúlt tíz-tizenöt évben több szociális jellegű agrárkezdeményezés indult egymástól függetlenül, különféle célcsoportokkal, azonban a szociális farmok száma napjainkban sem éri el az 50 db-ot, és ezek közül több valójában nem feltétlenül farm jelleggel működik. Hazánkban a care farm, terápiás kert, és eseteként a közösségi kertek egyes funkcióit ellátó és annak megfelelő struktúrában felépülő, elsősorban civil szervezetek által üzemeltetett, egycélú (a szociális és/vagy egészségügyi oldalt preferáló) gazdálkodói terek a jellemzőek. Az egycélúság több szempontból is tetten érhető a hazai kezdeményezésekben.
Kizárólagos célcsoportok (autista, roma felzárkóztatás, munkanélküliek reintegrációja) kerülnek kijelölésre. Ez korlátozhatja az inklúzió, az integráció sikeres végrehajtását.
A szociális funkció, mint üzemeltetési cél elsődlegessége, esetenként kizárólagossága.
Az agrárfunkciók, illetve agrár célok sokadrendűsége, azaz nem vagy korlátozottan folyik valós termelés.
A farmgazdálkodási jellegtől erősen eltérő terápiás és care farm jellegű sturktúrák, illetve ilyen funkciók telepítése.
Az agrárgazdálkodási funkciók idealizált, esetenként naív megközelítése.
Ezért szükséges újragondolni, hogy az agrárgazdálkodás szempontjából mely farm forma az, amely a multifunkcionális mezőgazdaságon belül elsődleges agrár profilja mellett képes aktív társadalmi szerepet is vállalni. Egy ilyen szervezet képes lehet elsődlegesen az agrárium szempontjából releváns társadalmi célokat szolgálni úgy. mint agrárutánpótlás és környezeti nevelés, vidékfejlesztés, az ágazat társadalmi elismertségének növelése, az alapvető agrárismeretek terjesztése, oktatás, hagyományőrzés, génmegőrzés, diverzifikáció. Ehhez azonban a fogalmi keretek újragondolása is szükséges azért, hogy a főprofil mentén elhatárolható – és ezáltal megfelelő forrásból cél szerint támogatható –legyen az az agrárvállalkozás, amely szociális farm szolgáltatásokat is hajlandó felvállalni. A kutatás e kérdések mentén igyekszik válaszokat adni a szociális farmok helyére és szerepére.
Del proyecto urbano moderno a la imagen trizada. Talara : 1950-1990
Authors: Aranda Dioses Edith Teodora
Published: December 2022

La investigación de Edith Aranda recrea el imaginario de los talareños sobre la vida cotidiana, cubriendo varias generaciones, pero tiene el cuidado de distinguir los testimonios según las diferencias de clases que la IPC estructuró. Las diferencias entre estos testimonios no supone enfrentamiento: son justamente eso, diferencias.

El mito del socialismo indígena: fuentes y contextos peruanos de Mariátegui
Authors: Leibner Gerardo
Published: December 2022

Este libro pretende presentar y analizar esas fuentes sobre los indígenas andinos, mostrando su aporte a la configuración de las tesis mariateguianas. Seguiremos el surgimiento de informaciones, imágenes e ideas en su contexto original, y luego su trasmisión y resignificación en otros contextos, hasta convertirse en componentes de la imágen indígena en ojos de importantes sectores de la intelectualidad crjollomestiza. El caso particular de Mariátegui es a la vez reflejo de ese proceso e importante pauta en su desarrollo. Las fuentes de información e imágenes revisadas han sido divididas en dos grupos: antecedentes de revolucionarios con ideologías modernistas de orígen europeo (anarquistas, demócratas) que se interesaron en los campesinos indígenas como posibles sujetos revolucionarios; y, activistas contemporáneos, indigenistas "mistis" provincianos y campesinos "mensajeros" de comunidades, portadores y mediadores de voces andinas. La intención . es analizar estas fuentes en su relación con Mariátegui, pero también en sí mismas, en su propio contexto. Los capítulos de este libro han sido ordenados de acuerdo a dicha clasificación, prefiriendo entonces una presentación temática, aún a costa del órden cronológico.
Perú y Ecuador: visión actual de un antiguo conflicto
Authors: Varillas Montenegro Alberto
Published: December 2022

Este libro remonta el estudio del problema limítrofe hasta sus orígenes, ponderando las posiciones sostenidas por los Países y prescindiendo, en lo posible, de los aspectos bélicos de la relación. En cierto modo, este texto es uno de los pocos en los que se estudia exhaustivamente el asunto desde las dos perspectivas, tratando de determinar la forma en que se origina y los extremos a los cuales llegó. Es posible que este trabajo sea uno de los primeros que cubre hasta el momento en que se concluye la colocación de los hitos que demarcan la extensa frontera terrestre peruano-ecuatoriana y que emplea las cartas geográficas que establecen la frontera definitiva que regirá en el futuro como consecuencia de la actitud decidida de los presidentes Fujimori y Mahuad.
Los grabados de José Sabogal en libros y revistas: aportes al diseño gráfico peruano a inicios del siglo XX
Authors: Valenzuela Suárez Claudia Catherine
Published: December 2022

José Sabogal, con otros intelectuales, reflexionaron sobre sus preocupaciones en torno a la complementariedad del texto con la imagen y el artefacto que las contenía. Era una disciplina incipiente, sin nombre. Sin embargo, era un fenómeno cultural que conjugaba el conocimiento, la estética y la literatura, y transformaba las revistas y libros ilustrados en objetos de valor simbólico y sociocultural. Esos artefactos del pasado son en la actualidad invaluables y se les considera piezas de valor histórico que permiten construir una genealogía de la disciplina del diseño anterior a su institucionalización hacia 1960. El contexto artístico y gráfico de las décadas de los años veinte y treinta fue un laboratorio de experimentación de la ilustración gráfica y la xilografía, que consolidó el concepto de la imagen gráfica.
Ethno-confessional and socio-political views of indigenous and non-indigenous Muscovites (sociological experience)
Authors: Kublitskaya Elena
Published: December 2022

The article deals with the problems associated with the intensification of migration processes in the largest megacities. Both positive and negative consequences of uncontrolled large-scale migration flows are determined. The focus of this article is concentrated on the study of the nature and degree of manifestation of tolerance/intolerance in the ethno-confessional and socio-cultural interaction of various groups of indigenous and non-indigenous population (with varying degrees of involvement in assimilation processes) Moscow; based on a comparative analysis of religious, socio-cultural and socio-political views of the indigenous residents of the capital and migrants.
The results of monitoring by ISPR FCTAS RAS and IDR FCTAS RAS prove that uncontrolled migration processes contribute to the development of social risks. Ethno-confessional interaction is marked by the attitudes of the capital's indigenous inhabitants towards ethnocentrism, national and confessional exclusivity ("adherence to mono-national and mono-confessional marriages"). A significant difference in the socio-political, patriotic and confessional orientations of the typological groups studied ("indigenous" Muscovites and "newcomers") was revealed. Thus, the results of a sociological survey show that native Muscovites are more optimistic about the socio-economic and socio-political situation in the country, the political reform of society compared to migrants. In addition, when comparing assessments of the role of religious organizations and, in particular, the ROC in modern society, a group of "newcomers" Muscovites is less tolerant than a group of "indigenous" residents of the capital.
The revealed consequences of the negative phenomena of the uncontrolled migration process (for example, the illegal involvement of migrants in labor relations contributes to the growth of the shadow economy and corruption in the labor market, etc.) indicates the relevance of studying the integration, assimilation of migrants and tolerance/intolerance in the ethno-confessional and socio-cultural interaction of indigenous Muscovites and newcomers. It is noted that taking into account "social risks" in the practice of national policy can help minimize the potential of interethnic and interfaith tensions in the metropolitan metropolis.
De quoi le discours rapporté est-il le nom ? Sur l’exemple du discours direct dans le discours journalistique
Authors: Biardzka Elżbieta
Published: December 2022

This study is about reported speech considered from a textual point of view in the genre of journalistic discourse. In this work, our purpose is to defend the usefulness of defining reported speech as a sequence of text that narrates, describes or refers to a person’s words. This textual sequence is twofold because it combines a fragment that verbalizes and selects situational data of the original utterance (accompanying segment) and a fragment representing the original utterance (quoting segment). The textual approach to reported speech is proposed as a counterpart to the “phrasal” approaches which describe “forms” of reported speech and emphasize its grammaticalization. We will try to demonstrate that the textual conception is highly operational in discourse analysis and can influence the description of “in-language” reported speech patterns through the application of analysis tools specific to text grammar, such as the concepts of diaphora or diegesis.
Rituels mortuaires version 2.0 – les visions de Sophie Calle, Christian Boltanski et Marie Darrieussecq
Authors: Kotowska Katarzyna
Published: December 2022

A major role of culture is to imply the expansion of the spatial and temporal borders of the being with the aim to abolish them completely. The meaning of death and disappearance occupies a special place in many works. Marie Darrieussecq, Christian Boltanski and Sophie Calle, artists exploiting the imaginary possibilities of letters but also of installations, give us some visions of mortuary rituals adapted in accordance with the changing contemporaneity. The rituals imagined by Darrieussecq, Boltanski and Calle in The House of the Dead, The Records of the Hearts and the film Could Not Grasp the Death, nourished by new technologies, nevertheless break with the idea of removing the dead from a mode where they should no longer have their place. The “cabins” proposed by the artists provide the intermediate space where we can bring the dead closer to our existences; save their holograms, preserve the rhythm of their hearts, catch the moment of passage. Darrieussecq, Boltanski and Calle thus paint new places of memory that could redraw intergenerational links where those who remain and those who have left maintain contact.
Le discours gastronomique et les identités culturelles sur Wikipédia
Authors: Wiater Aleksander , Castro-Ramirez Nayelli
Published: December 2022

Language and food are tightly connected. As part of our daily experience, our culinary traditions and cultures are shaped by the discourses we create on them. Via translation, virtual and digital spaces have become instrumental sites for disseminating culinary discourses with deep roots in cultural history. As this study clearly shows, Wikipedia communities rely on a long history of translations and intercultural relations. From a discourse analysis perspective, this paper focuses on the representation of global French cuisine in four Wikipedia articles (French, Spanish, English, and Polish) dedicated to the prominent dish Boeuf bourguignon. Our corpus aims at shedding light on contemporary translation and discursive practices that contribute to representing cultural identities. By focusing on cultural-bound terms (culturemes), intertextuality, and multilingual sources, our study foregrounds translation as a tool for cultural representation beyond traditional source-text dichotomies.
