Homeostasis Regulating Factors, Innervation, Ischemia and Inflammatory Markers in the Right Atrial Tissue from Patients with Degenerative Aortic Valve Stenosis and Coronary Heart Disease
Authors: Vārtiņa Edīte , Pilmane Māra , Lācis Romāns
Published: July 2021

Both coronary heart disease (CHD) and degenerative aortic valve (AoV) stenosis have common risk factors, such as age, high blood cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, high blood pressure, inflammation, and metabolic syndrome. However, these diseases are not always observed together, confirming the existence of risk and pathogenesis factors specific to each disease. The aim of this study was to identify presence and distribution of common and different homeostasis regulating factors, innervation, ischemia and inflammatory markers in the right atrial tissue from patients with degenerative AoV stenosis and CHD. During elective cardiac surgery, right atrial tissue fragments were taken from 20 patients with CHD and from 9 patients with degenerative AoV stenosis. All tissue fragments were stained for immunohistochemical detection of protein-gene peptide 9.5 (PGP 9.5), atrial natriuretic peptide (ANUP), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), chromogranin A, endothelin, interleukin 1 and 10 (Il-1 and Il-10) and β defensins 2, and 3 (βD2 and βD3). For the quantification of structures, a semi-quantitative counting method was used. Mostly numerous Il-10 positive cardiomyocytes and epi-/endocardial endothelial cells were detected in all specimens taken from patients with CHD, and statistically more than in specimens taken from patients with degenerative AoV disease (p = 0.007 and p = 0.016). Also, the number of βD3 positive cardiomyocytes was higher in the coronary heart disease group (p = 0.026). All other tested markers such as PGP 9.5, ANUP, VEGF, endothelin, chromogranin A, Il-1 and βD2 showed similar expression in both groups. Increased production of ANUP in right atrial tissue characterises both CHD and degenerative AoV stenosis. Production of ChgA in right atrial endocardial endothelial cells might represent regulation of sympathetic activity as a compensatory homeostatic response. Increased PGP 9.5-containing innervation is characteristic in patients with degenerative AoV disease and secondary mitral insufficiency. A stable increase of VEGF and variations of endothelin without statistically significant difference suggest influence of ischemia on the local vascular blood supply. Decreased production of Il-1α together with moderate to rich production of Il-10, βD2, and βD3 indicates the dominance of the local immune system over inflammation.

Published: July 2021

Vitiligo is an acquired chronic skin disease, characterised by progressing, usually symmetric, depigmented areas in human skin. Vitiligo affects 0.5% of the human population, however, optimal treatment combination real clinical practice has yet to be found. The aim of the study was to assess whether combined therapy with ultraviolet B (UVB) therapy and calcineurin inhibitors (CNI) provides superior response in vitiligo patients, compared with phototherapy or topical CNI monotherapy. We performed a retrospective cohort study of children treated for vitiligo from January 2016 to December 2019. Primary outcome measures include clinical efficacy defined by area of repigmentation — good clinical efficacy (re-pigmentation of ≥ 50% of lesion surface area), positive clinical efficacy and poor clinical efficacy (re-pigmentation of < 15% of lesion surface area). Secondary outcome measures included reduction of lesion size and tolerability of therapy. A total of 114 patients were recruited in the study, 46 allocated to the topical CNI therapy group, 36 to the narrow band (Nb-UVB), and 32 to the combined therapy group. All treatments statistically significantly decreased lesion surface area compared to the baseline (mean, SD). Local therapy reduced lesions from 8.5 (5.7) to 5.3 (4.2) by 37.3% (p < 0.0001), phototherapy reduced lesions from 9.8 (5.4) to 5.7 (3.92) by 42.3% (p < 0.0001), and combined therapy reduced lesions from 14.2 (4.8) to 6.58 (3.5) by 53.6% (p < 0.0001), with combined therapy showing superior numerical efficacy. Clinical efficacy for CNI monotherapy was 67.4%, for phototherapy — 80.5%, and for combined therapy 93.7%. The safety profile of therapies was consistent with other studies. Our results support the use of combined therapy in vitiligo patients.

Published: July 2021

Water ecosystems have an important role in maintenance of biological diversity and environmental quality in Latvia. Fish resources are one of the most valuable biological resources in Latvia. To evaluate the influence of economic activity (anthropogenic influence of cities, hydroelectric power stations) on freshwater ecosystems, the genetic structure of perch Perca fluviatilis (L.) populations in Daugava River and Lielupe River was studied. The genetic structure of the perch populations from Daugava River and Lielupe River was investigated using 9 DNA microsatellites (Pfla L4, Pfla L10, Pfla L2, Pfla L6, YP111, YP78, YP60, Svi L10, Svi L7), and by genetic diversity, the level of polymorphism, means of alleles per locus, observed and expected heterozygosity, and population structuring. It was shown that the perch population in the Daugava River in the territory of Riga was significantly different from the other populations and there was a lower level of heterozygosity in this population. In the Daugava River, genetic differentiation was significant for fish populations between Ķegums Hydroelectric Power Plant (HPP) and Riga HPP reservoirs due to the fragmentation of population by HPP dams.
A meta-analysis and explanation of innovation processes through the outline of Social Fields Theory
Authors: Cepoi Victor
Published: July 2021

Modern reports and studies on innovation processes offer a variety of possibilities for measuring and explaining innovation processes. These reports have a comparable model for operationalization of the concept of innovation, as they include both quantitative and qualitative indicators. The complexity of the modern societies and the interaction of actors, determines also to look for alternative models, which would embrace this complexity. We do not question these approaches and their reliability toward measuring the innovation performance, but rather to focus on alternative operationalization and explanation. Thus, through the embedment of the Social Fields Theory in the context of innovation processes it would offer various possibilities of applying a more coherent operationalization toward the explaining innovation. This article will display a critical assessment of a number of studies and projects, which used this approach in order to explain the innovation, but also using different methodologies that incorporate innovation processes and the theory of Social Fields.
The importance of high – Tech companies for EU economy – Overview and the EU grand strategies perspective
Authors: Jurak Alenka Pandiloska
Published: July 2021

In the context of economic globalization, technology is a key factor in boosting growth and competitiveness in the business world. Technologically intensive companies have more innovation, gain new markets, use available resources more productively, and generally offer more to the people they employ. Europe spends less on R&D, compared to the US and Japan, mainly due to lower levels of private investment. The lower share of HTC in the EU is the reason for half of the EU's lag behind the US. The aim of this paper is therefore to present the importance of high – tech companies for EU economy and to evaluate the steering of Europe 2020 grand strategies towards active support of HTCs and estimate, how Europe 2030 strategies will continue the effort of boosting EU economy.

Prospects for innovation performance on European level
Authors: Erman Nuša
Published: July 2021

In 2004, the European Commission implemented the Decision No 1608/2003/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the production and development of Community statistics on innovation. This triggered the awareness of the role of innovation and R&D on national and European level and thus the opportunity to step towards in-depth monitoring innovation performance through various indicators. The paper aims to investigate the trends in the selected innovation indicators (i.e., public funding, expenditures and innovation activities, types of innovation and products introduced, hampered innovation activities) to outline the development direction on the enterprise level using the Community innovation survey data for the 2002–2016 period. Using the basic time series analysis, the paper evaluates the progress according to the European Strategy on research and innovation. Furthermore, using the autocorrelation and autoregression methods, the paper also outlines the future direction in innovation performance on European level.
Temporally Underspecified Bare Clauses in Mandarin
Authors: Cheng Hang
Published: July 2021

This study shows that the temporal interpretation of Mandarin bare clauses is fully underspecified when these clauses describe scheduled, preprogrammed events. The paper defines the key syntactic properties of such bare clauses and their context of use. On the basis of this definition, the paper proposes that these clauses are copular constructions, which in all relevant respects behave like regular copular constructions. Bare clauses contain a subject and a predicate, related by the (sometimes covert) copula shì, expressing a paired relation between them. The fact that bare clauses have a simple predicative structure underlyingly is further supported by observations from the realm of gapping and negation. Crucially, it is proposed that there is no temporal projection immediately above the verb phrase in these sentences. The underspecification of the temporal interpretation is accordingly accounted for.
Conceptual Blending and Slang Expressions in Hong Kong Cantonese
Authors: Wong May L-Y
Published: July 2021

This paper seeks to examine nine slang words created newly in Cantonese, which started their life journey from the inventions of individuals and now constituting the established lexical means of expressing cultural conceptualizations. These slang expressions are analyzed with reference to the theory of conceptual integration (also known as “blending”) developed in Fauconnier and Turner 2002. In the analysis, four different types of conceptual integration network (i.e., simplex networks, single-scope networks, double-scope, and multiple-scope networks) are used to unravel the increasingly complex systems of cognitive operations with which the “slang” blends are created. During the discussion of the conceptual integration networks here, we were able to see how elements and relations from familiar conceptualizations can be transformed into new and meaningful ones that align along with the changes in cultural conceptualizations. It is hoped that this study shows that, despite having wide applications in the English language, the blending theory can provide an integrated and coherent account of the cognitive mechanisms by which colloquial words are constructed and construed in terms of cultural experiences specific to a given non-Anglo locality.
Between Old Traditions and New Approaches: Locating Oral History and Memory Studies in East Central Europe
Authors: Slabáková Radmila Švaříčková
Published: July 2021

The article explores how oral history and memory studies have been used in East Central Europe after the fall of the Iron Curtain. It focuses particularly on the question of whether Eastern European scholars only reproduce what was invented in the West, or whether they advance their original concepts and ideas. Both disciplines have been involved in reassessing the history of communism and the communist version of history itself and both contributed to revealing memoires obscured by the communist regime, even if the role of oral history may be considered as pivotal in this process. Although oral history had been practiced in the region at least since the 1970s, it was introduced as a new discipline according to the Western criteria after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Memory studies and their most successful concept, the “lieux de mémoire”, were implemented into to the region later and the promoters of the concept were predominantly Western scholars. Drawing on the uses of the term “historical consciousness” in Czech and Polish research, the article argues that various strategies associated with the “return to Europe” can be found in the region when promoting native traditions and equalizing them with the Western ones.
Narratives of Czechoslovak Prison Staff from the Communist Era
Authors: Bušková Kristýna , Pinerová Klára , Louč Michal
Published: July 2021

The Czechoslovak prison system is closely bound up with the political situation, and period before the year 1989 was no exception. Its transformation reflects changes in society and politics. The role of the prison system, attitudes to prisoners, as well as modernising trends are all a reflection of the dominant master narratives of that time. This study examines how university-educated employees who were in expert positions within the prison system (psychologists, doctors, a librarian, educators, top management) between 1965 and 1992 adapted to the prison system in place or tried to transform it at the time, and how they reflect on their engagement with it at present. By exploring these questions, we are ultimately asking how their experience as prison staff in communist prisons influenced their professional (narrative) identity and course of life, and how dominant social and political narratives under the communist rule impacted their individual lives.

The study adopts a qualitative, idiographic and social constructivist narrative engagement approach to capture the interplay between the prison system and individuals within it. It finds that former employees constructed three different identity configurations reflecting their engagement with the prison system. The consequences of these configurations for prison employees, prison system and society in general are discussed.
“The Charm of the PRL”. Memory Culture, (Post)Socialist Nostalgia and Historical Tourism in Poland
Authors: Balcerzak Agnieszka
Published: July 2021

The article explores the mechanisms of memory culture and the commercialization of the socialist heritage from the period of the People’s Republic of Poland (PRL) (from 1945 to 1989) as a tourist destination, societal practice and cultural resource in today’s Warsaw. At the intersection of heritage studies, historical tourism and material culture, the ethnographic analysis focuses on three empirical case studies as examples of the commercial popularization of the history of the PRL. These are thecommunist heritage toursoffered byWPT 1313and the documentation of the socialist heritage at theMuseum of Life in the PRLand theNeon Museum. These commodified products of Warsaw’s tourism and entertainment culture fill a gap in the tourist market, based on the prototypical, nostalgic longing of tourists for a sensual and emotional experience of the “authentic past”. This predominantly participant observation-based ethnographic study on the practices, spaces, images and agents filling this touristic niche, illustrates how they create sensual-emotive, aesthetic and performative fields of reifying, discovering and experiencing the socialist past. Finally, the paper focuses on how these polyvalent mechanisms shape the tourist infrastructure of Warsaw oscillating between critical distancing and entertaining appropriation of the socialist heritage.

From the point of view of the concept itself, technology is a set of processes, rules and habits used in the production of various objects in the most diverse spheres of production, or human activity itself. Therefore, there are several designations and naming of production technologies in the professional literature. Historically, probably the oldest systematic designation and division of production technologies and processes is given as early as 1963 in the German standard: Begriffe der Fertigungsverfahren DIN 8580. The standard defines production processes for the production of geometrically certain solids. In the paper is shown explanations of mechanisms of machining when is used unconventional machining technologies.

The research in this paper contributes to the practical implementation of the Statistical Process Control (SPC), primarily in the serial production by selecting an appropriate variable control chart. The paper proposes a procedure algorithm where the deciding criteria used to select the variable control chart include: the data distribution type (whether an approximately normal distribution or not), the number of elements in the subgroup (n) for grouped data, the shift size value and the percentage difference between the shift size value and the mean value of the shifts calculated for each subgroup. The paper explains the proposed algorithm using examples with appropriately drawn control charts, which algorithm essentially represents an extension of the algorithm presented in ISO 7870-2:2013.
APPLICATION POSSIBILITIES OF DYNAMIC VALUE STREAM MAPPING IN PRODUCTION LOGISTICS
Authors:   University of Miskolc, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Informatics, Institute of Logistics, Hungary, Tamas Peter
Published: July 2021

An increase in the number of product types required by customers results in an increase in the complexity of logistics systems. This finding is particularly characteristic of production logistics systems, where the use of flexible production systems is becoming increasingly important. One of the defining tools for the development of these processes is the value process mapping method, a static version of which suitable for the simultaneous examination of a product family has become widespread in corporate practice. The paper presents the method of dynamic value stream mapping, which is also suitable for the examination of complex logistics systems, exploring its steps and the possibilities of its application in production logistics. An example prepared using the VSM module of the Plant Simulation framework is also presented to illustrate the application of the method.

One of the obstacles to the spread of rail-road intermodal freight transport is the lack of efficient container handling equipment on the rail-road hubs. The known and widely used solutions (gantry crane, reach stackers) are apparently not able to increase the volume of intermodal transport. The goal, which is uniformly desired by the professionals, the growth of rail-road intermodal freight transport, can be served by a container transhipment device that allows unit loads to be transferred between road and rail vehicles even under railway contact line. The new container transhipment technology, proposed in the article can be the missing hardware device for physical internet hubs. The highly automated handling robot meets the requirements of Industry 4.0 and Logistics 4.0.
ESCRIBIR DESDE LAS CATACUMBAS: TERAPIA, FICCIONES DEL DINERO Y NOVELA OSCURA, UNA LECTURA DE FAUNA Y DESPLAZAMIENTOS DE MARIO LEVRERO
Authors: Rivadeneira Blas
Published: July 2021

This article proposes that Fauna and Desplazamientos by Mario Levrero, written during the military dictatorship, mark a period of transition in his work. The Uruguayan author lived those years as an entrance to the catacombs, a suffocating environment that encouraged self-censorship and precipitated his self-exile to Buenos Aires, where he published both texts in 1987. Fauna emerges as a fictional transposition of an attempt at therapy. Desplazamientos, the dark novel, is a fiction of money that addresses the miseries of the father’s ghost and works as a closure that enables the writing of La novela luminosa.
INTIMIDADES EN RED: EXHIBICIÓN Y VIGILANCIA EN KENTUKIS DE SAMANTA SCHWEBLIN
Authors: Osorio-Restrepo Valerie
Published: July 2021

Many authors have explored the relationship between technology and intimacy in 21st Latin American literature, and have pointed out legal, political, and affective dilemmas in relation to the freedom of subjects, the control of their intimacy, and the systems that monitor them. Kentukis poses the image of global connection through a network of intimacies in which the subjects observe and are observed. On the basis of these global connections, I propose that the exhibition of intimacy allows us to consider it as a collective phenomenon and insert it in the discussion on civil rights.

Published: July 2021

El trabajo aborda antropológicamente la ciudadanía urbana combinando la explicación histórico-estructural de la constitución urbana del oikos y de la polis, junto a una comprensión asentada en la experiencia vivida por actores al realizar sus mandados como tareas de aprovisionamiento. El objetivo de la investigación consiste en describir la circulación de amas de casa por espacialidades cotidianas en sus prácticas de abastecimiento. La observación etnográfica de las prácticas y representaciones de las mujeres de una urbanización de perfil minero-industrial señala dos momentos significativos al hacer mandados, el salir a la calle y el volver a encerrarse, remitiendo a la vita activa arendtiana. Estos movimientos por el espacio urbano son analizados como una dinámica sociocultural que llamo oikonización.

La depredación es un factor biótico que influye en la estructura y funcionamiento de los ecosistemas, su efecto se puede cuantificar a través de la respuesta funcional (RF) y numérica en un contexto de éxito-invasión. Utilizamos la RF para entender las relaciones coevolutivas y medir la respuesta biológica de los depredadores Notonecta peruviana y Buenoa fasciata en el control de larvas de cuarto estadio de Aedes aegypti (F1) a diferentes densidades (5, 10, 20, 35, 55 y 80 larvas/litro). Los depredadores en ayuno (48 horas) se introdujeron a los envases de ensayo (un individuo por especie) y se evaluó a las 24 horas la RF, número de presas consumidas (Ne), coeficiente de ataque (a) y tiempo de manipuleo (Th). N. peruviana y B. fasciata desarrollaron una RF tipo II en el consumo de larvas de Ae. aegypti (p ≤ 0,01) y ocuparon cercanos tiempos de manipuleo (Th) (t = –1,93; gl = 12; p = 0,078). N. peruvianadepredó (Ne) el doble de larvas de Ae. aegypti (p ≤ 0,05) y mostró un mayor coeficiente de ataque (a) en relación con B. fasciata (t = 14,92; gl = 12; p = 0,000). Los depredadores N. peruviana y B. fasciata desestabilizaron y consumieron en forma rápida las presas. N. peruviana devoró el doble de larvas atribuible al efecto depredador-presa de origen reciente en comparación al posible ajuste coevolutivo entre B. fasciata y Ae. aegypti. Sería importante considerar a las especies de depredadores en los programas de control larval de mosquitos aedinos.

Published: July 2021

The sustainability of ecotourism initiatives represents a major challenge. The aim of this study is to enhance our understanding of how community participation in ecotourism management can contribute toward achieving more sustainable results by identifying key factors that make it possible to potentiate a broader range of economic, social and environmental objectives. Based on the theory of collaborative planning and the strategic focus of community tourism, our work adopted a mixed approach to compare and explain the differences between two local cooperatives on the coast of the state of Nayarit, Mexico. The results reveal statistically‑significant differences between the benefits obtained through ecotourism and identify the factors that foment active community participation by local residents that, in turn, generates positive correlations with those benefits. Findings were supported by qualitative interviews with external informants. Our conclusion is that the level of benefits obtained can be reasonably explained by a set of six key factors
Implementing Continuous Assessment in an Academic Programme for More Effective Learning
Authors: van Zyl Cecilia , le Roux Willie
Published: July 2021

Many universities, including open distance education institutions, are currently investigating the introduction of a continuous assessment framework. When introducing continuous assessment in an academic department, it is necessary to ensure that all participants understand all concepts related to such framework and the implications of introducing such a framework. This paper investigates studies on continuous assessment in the literature to identify the advantages and disadvantages of such a framework. The lessons learned are used to identify guidelines regarding the importance of feedback and to develop a model that can be used to plan and introduce continuous assessment, considering all the different environmental factors that will affect the introduction.
Indigenous Communities From Oaxaca, Mexico. Health Problems, Opportunities And Challenges In Public Health With Special Attention In Mental Health
Authors: Pinzon-Perez Helda , Vásquez Santos Leoncio
Published: July 2021

Objectives: To present an instrument in Mixtec, Zapotec, and Spanish to assess the mental health of indigenous Oaxacan communities from Mexico. To provide suggestions on how this instrument could be useful for indigenous communities in other Latin American regions. Methods: This manuscript includes a literature review of articles published in mental health among communities originating from Oaxaca, Mexico and presents the process followed in the development of a culturally appropriate mental health instrument. The instrument was created by a Spanish speaking Advanced Practice Nurse and translated by a university student public health worker and a professional nurse from Oaxaca, Mexico whose native languages are Mixtec and Zapotec. Results: A culturally appropriate instrument was developed to assess the mental health of people with Oaxacan origin. This instrument includes some questions related with Covid-19. It was translated into Spanish, Mixtec, and Zapotec. The Spanish version is available in the written form but the Mixtec and Zapotec versions are available only in the audio form since they are languages of oral tradition. Conclusions: The mental health needs of Oaxacan communities living in the United States and other parts of Latin America are pressing and even more in the domain of mental health. The mental health instrument here discussed is a contribution to the understanding and solution of the identified relevant problems.

Authors: Velikaya Natalia M.
Published: July 2021

The article considers the most significant issues of cultural development of Russian small and medium-sizes cities, in the era of globalization, in the context of such major social threats as the erosion of national and cultural identity, the loss of traditional cultural landscape and the reduction of cultural capital.

Analyzing the legislative and financial bases of cultural policy in small and medium-sized cities of Russia, the author identifies the key problem areas of the state cultural policy.

The empirical base of the study was obtained during the implementation of two research projects conducted in 2015 and 2019, the main methods of which had been document analysis, expert interviewing and case studies of the most successful projects in the field of culture. The data of specific sociological studies allowed us to consider the state of the cultural sphere in small and medium-sized cities and to identify the role of cultural activity of urban communities in the cultural process. The results of the case method indicate the most successful and effective projects in the cultural sphere, implemented on the basis of public-private partnership with the involvement of civil society.

The article draws conclusions about potential directions of cultural policy in small and medium-sized cities of Russia, including investments, creation of urban development strategies and interaction with local communities.

The article considers the gender culture in the family, one of the most closed and local socio-cultural institutions. The relevance of this topic is determined by the anthropological turn in modern humanitarian knowledge, and the involvement of new data in scientific circulation, which is obtained as a result of the use of case-study semi-formalized techniques for interviewing respondents. Thus, on the basis of the interviews received, there are reconstructed contradictory forms of gender identity in a young married couple in Perm. The article presents the materials of the respondents’ interviews in the form of narratives consistently presenting the key stages of the relationship. Gradually, the narrative’s characters begin to construct a gender identity in a new cultural institution – their own family. There can be seen a conflict between the characters’ symbolic self-identity and their real practices. The man takes a dominant role in the beginning of the relationship. He objectifies the woman and alone decides when to start the relationship. Then the situation changes. The man’s dominant role is replaced with a passive one. The initiative goes to the woman, who repeats the man’s behavior. At the same time, it turns out that in everyday life, the respondents fill the roles of the husband and wife with special content. The wife’s role includes the mother’s behavior towards her husband, and the husband’s role includes the child’s behavior towards his wife. The family is an inverse patriarchal type of relationship. The woman has a dominant role, but identifies herself as an obedient wife.

Investigation that was raised in this study was to improve dribbling skills. One form of training that must be done is coordination training and agility training for the players of the Tunas Muda Medan Football School (SSB TMM). Furthermore, it is expected that discoveries can be made that can improve dribbling skills with other training components for soccer players in soccer schools. This study aims to improve the skills of dribbling SSB TMM players in the city of Medan, North Sumatra Province by using coordination training and agility training. The experimental population was all SSB TMM players with a sample of 22 people. The research method used is descriptive with a correlational process, the analysis system is used to test the hypothesis which is the normality test, linearity test, and correlation test. From the end of the first hypothesis correlation test, a significance value of 0.046 <0.050 is obtained, so there is a significant relationship between coordination on the results of the ability of dribbling ball. The achievement of the second hypothesis test has a significance value of 0.037 <0.05, so there is a significant relationship between agility and the results of the ability to dribble a ball. Based on the multiple regression test, it is known that the significance is 0.037 <0.05, then H0 is not accepted and Ha is accepted. Thus, the two components of coordination and agility simultaneously have a significant relationship with the ability to dribble a ball.

Резьба по дереву, как и другие ремесла, является древней формой искусства, которая процветала в Химачале (Гималаи) и поддерживалась мастерами, любителями искусства и королевскими семьями. Древние священные тексты были украшены элементами резьбы по дереву, дерево широко использовалось при оформлении деревянных домов, храмов, колонн, домашней утвари и окон. Произведения художественной резьбы, сохраненные в великолепных долинах, выжили в неблагоприятных климатических условиях. Мастерство резьбы по дереву широко распространено и его исключительное всеохватывающее композиционное построение аналогично художественным формам в других северных индийских штатах, особенно в Кашмире, Уттаракханде и Пенджабе. Такие процветающие и традиционные поселения, как Киннаур, могут до сих пор поражать своими внушительными замками и возвышающимися храмами, построенными из высококачественной древесины. Уникальными являются местные художественные образцы резьбы как геометрические, так и цветочные, мастерство ремесленников, подборка материалов и, конечно, великолепие готовых произведений. Несмотря на погодные факторы и климат, многие деревянные строения с изысканной резьбой до сих пор сохраняют тонкую текстурную отделку и четкость резьбы. Данная работа позволит нам заглянуть в искусство резьбы по дереву в Химачале (Гималаи).

Woodcraft like other handicrafts is an ancient art form which flourished in Himachal Himalay and was patronized by artisans, art lovers and royal families. Ancient scriptures have details of wood craft and use of wood in designing wooden houses, temples, pillars, household articles, doors and windows. Preserved in the magnificent valleys, engraved artistic creations on wood have survived in the adverse climatic conditions. The engraved woodcraft is quite widespread and its exceptional all-inclusive composition is analogous to the art forms available in other north Indian states, especially Kashmir, Uttarakhand and Punjab. Prosperous and traditional settlements in Kinnaur can still amaze everyone with impressive castle like houses and towering temples carved out of quality wood. The vernacular designs, both geometrical and floral, proficiency of craftsmen, selection of material, and magnificence of finished artifact is remarkable. Despite the weathering effects and climatic factors, many wooden structures with sophisticated engravings, still retain the fine textural finish and sharpness of design. This paper peeps into the woodcrafts of Himachal Himalay.

V.I. SURIKOV'S PAINTING “STORMING OF SNOW FORTRESS” AS A PHENOMENON OF A TURNING PERIOD IN THE ARTIST’S CREATIVE WORK
Authors: Безызвестных Елена Юльевна
Published: July 2021

Картина В.И. Сурикова «Взятие снежного городка» – единственная картина Василия Сурикова, написанная в Красноярске, и посвящена она родной Сибири и сибирякам. Художник называл ее бытовой, но так ли однозначен жанр картины? Ее называют веселой, но так ли это? В этом произведении многое раскрывается не с первого взгляда. За шуточной баталией стоят реальные исторические события и душевные переживания самого художника. Картина открывает новый период в творчестве Сурикова – батальный, период преодолений и побед. Она внесла в русское искусство невиданную доселе легкую стремительную динамичность. Композиция картины сложна и неоднозначна, наполнена подтекстами и пластическими находками.

V.I. Surikov's painting “Storming of a Snow Fortress” is the only picture painted in Krasnoyarsk and it is devoted to his native land Siberia and Siberians. The painter called it everyday life but is the genre of the painting so definite? They call it funny but is it so? This work of art does not reveal itself at the first glance. Behind the facetious battle, there are real historic events and emotional experience of the painter himself. The painting opens a new period in Surikov’s creative work – a battle period, a period of overcoming and victories. It brought about unprecedented easy swift dynamics into the Russian art. The composition of the painting is complex and diverse, full of implications and plastic godsends.

Карикатурное творчество В.И. Сурикова изучалось преимущественно в советский период, когда требовалась его тенденциозная оценка, поэтому необходимо рассмотреть карикатуру Сурикова с позиций не политических, а исторических и искусствоведческих. В статье рассматриваются карикатуры В.И. Сурикова разных лет, их сюжетное наполнение и художественные качества.

V. I. Surikov’s caricature was studied in the Soviet period that is why it got a tendentious assessment. It is the reason to study it now, without any underlying political reasons, from the historical and artistic point of view. The topics of Surikov’s caricatures differ from traditional political and social ones to everyday scenes, his manner is free and informal in these drawings. There were the two main traditions in this genre in the 19th century: the classical European caricature and the Russian lubok, and Surikov inherited both, but no doubt, the second one had a stronger influence on him.
