Pre-hospital lowest recorded oxygen saturation independently predicts death in patients with COVID-19
Authors: Dillon Kate , Hook Chris , Coupland Zoe , Avery Pascale , Taylor Hazel , Lockyer Andy
Published: December 2020

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) results in hypoxia in around a fifth of adult patients. Severe hypoxia in the absence of visible respiratory distress (‘silent hypoxia’) is increasingly recognised in these patients. There
are no published data evaluating lowest recorded pre-hospital oxygen saturation or pre-hospital National Early Warning Score 2 (NEWS2) as a predictor of outcome in patients with COVID-19.

Methods: In this retrospective service evaluation, we included
adult inpatients with laboratory confirmed COVID-19 who were discharged from hospital or who died in hospital between 12 March and 28 April 2020 (n = 143). Pre-hospital and in-hospital data were extracted and analysed to explore risk factors associated with in-hospital mortality to inform
local triage and emergency management.

Results: The lowest recorded pre-hospital oxygen saturation was an independent predictor of mortality when controlling for age, gender and history of COPD. A 1% reduction in pre-hospital oxygen saturation
increased the odds of death by 13% (OR 1.13, p < 0.001). Lower pre-hospital oxygen saturation predicted mortality after adjusting for the pre-hospital NEWS2 (OR for a 1% reduction in pre-hospital oxygen saturation 1.09, p = 0.02). The pre-hospital NEWS2 was higher in those who died (Median
9; IQR 7-10; n = 24) than in those who survived to discharge (Median 6; IQR 5-8; n = 63).

Conclusion: This service evaluation suggests that the lowest recorded pre-hospital oxygen saturation may be an independent predictor of mortality in COVID-19
patients. Lowest pre-hospital oxygen saturation should be recorded and used in the assessment of patients with suspected COVID-19 in pre-hospital and emergency department triage settings.

Published: December 2020

The present century belongs to Science and Technology. Scientific knowledge is valued across the globe and great emphasis is on scientific attitude towards all fields of life. The purpose of education of Science school is to lead the nation to collaborate and compete with rest of the world.  The students face difficulty in studying Chemistry due to its abstract nature of concepts. To address this issue, students are taught solid state Chemistry by using computer-based models of unit cells and the crystal lattices. The present study is experimental in nature. Total 60 students participate in the study.  Samples are distributed in two groups (study group and control group). Data is collected by using question paper. The Chemistry of solid state is taught to the experimental group by using model based on computer and control group is taught by using traditional chalk and board methodology. The instrument is validated by its content and is consulted by an expert. The instrument reliability of is analyzed by applying t-test. Result of the research reveals that the computer-based model on crystal lattices and unit cell is more effective than conventional model in learning and the academic achievement of the students in Chemistry. The t-test proves that the t-value 0.691 is substantial with p (p<0.05). Based on the findings of the present study the computer-based model of unit cell and crystal lattice is an effective teaching tool for learning and to improve the academic achievement in Chemistry.
Qualidade percebida em serviços nas instituições de ensino superior brasileiras de 2010 a 2020: uma revisão integrativa
Authors: Amaral da Silva Gabriel Antônio , Sadoyama Leal Geraldo
Published: December 2020

É crescente o interesse investigativo pela mensuração da qualidade percebida em serviços nas IES brasileiras nos últimos anos. Com o objetivo de se compreender os percursos metodológicos e resultados dessas pesquisas, realizou-se uma revisão integrativa de artigos publicados no Brasil entre os anos 2010 e 2020. A categorização dos estudos apontou que muitos autores construíram seus instrumentos utilizando a análise fatorial e poucos utilizaram as escalas de mensuração já conhecidas. A maioria dos trabalhos analisados se concentrou em estudar quais dimensões melhor explicam a qualidade percebida e não apenas mensurar a percepção. A síntese transversal dos resultados indicou que as dimensões representantes da infraestrutura, imagem da IES e corpo docente surgiram como as mais influentes e que pode haver um caráter não linear nas dimensões da qualidade.

Authors: Kristanto Soedjono Harris , Isabel Lopes Sam Candida
Published: December 2020

Background: Optic neuritis is an inflammatory demyelinating process that causes acute impairment of vision that may appear in one or both eyes, either simultaneously or successively.
Case: A 22-year-old woman admitted to Neurology Clinic with chief complaint of sudden vision loss in both eyes simultaneously in the last two days. Additional complaints like headache and dizziness also occur. The patient was in her 7th day of post-partum period when this happened. There was no problem during pregnancy nor delivery. The initial visual acuity was 1/300 in both eyes. The patient then admitted and treated with high-dose corticosteroid. After treatment, the patient went home with visual acuity of more than 6/60.
Discussion: This patient may have B6, B12, and folic acid deficiency that can cause demyelinating process of optic nerve. It is also possible as an early manifestation of Multiple Sklerosis, an autoimmune process that arises during post-partum period.
Conclusion: Pregnancy has a protective effect to autoimmune disease, whereas post-partum period is immunologically more vulnerable to autoimmune disease.

Published: December 2020

La incorporación del trabajo colaborativo en el ámbito educativo crece día a día, al igual que el número de grupos de investigación y proyectos asociados a este tema, dado que las actividades de aprendizaje especificadas de forma colaborativa promueven la comunicación, la coordinación y la negociación al interior de los grupos. Si bien se ha demostrado la utilidad práctica de esta estrategia en diferentes niveles de formación, no se ha hecho mucho énfasis en una parte fundamental: el diseño de los procesos colaborativos inherentes. La Ingeniería de la Colaboración destaca para ello el uso de patrones de colaboración y de ThinkLets como unidades primarias de diseño, lo cual tiene como objetivo primordial la reutilización. Este artículo presenta una propuesta de actividad colaborativa a implementarse como apoyo en la enseñanza de cursos iniciales de Programación en el ámbito universitario, la cual basa su diseño colaborativo en la utilización de patrones y ThinkLets.

Whether arterial stiffness is a surrogate end-point for cardiovascular and renal disease has never been directly demonstrated by a controlled clinical trial. Our main hypothesis is a better prevention of outcomes in high risk hypertensives with PWV normalization driven strategy than with usual blood pressure driven therapeutic strategy based on European Society of Hypertension—European Society of Cardiology (ESH—ESC) guidelines. The strategy for preventing cardiovascular and renal events based on arterial stiffness study is a multicenter open-label randomized controlled trial with blinded endpoint evaluation comparing a therapeutic strategy targeting the normalisation of Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV group) versus a classical therapeutic strategy only implementing the ESH—ESC Guidelines (conventional group), for reducing cardiovascular and renal events. Patients with primary hypertension, aged 55–75 years, and at medium-to-very high cardiovascular risk will be included and followed-up for 4 years. In the PWV group, treatment will be adjusted to carotid-femoral PWV measured every 6 months. In the conventional group, PWV will be measured at baseline and every 2 years, but its value will be blinded to the investigator in charge of the patient. In the PWV group, the therapeutic strategy will preferably use a combination of Angiotensin-converting Enzyme Inhibitor (ACEI) [or Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARB)] and calcium channel blockers, as well as maximal recommended doses of ACEIs and ARBs. The primary combined endpoint includes stroke and coronary events (myocardial infarction, angioplasty, bypass), fatal or not, peripheral artery disease (angioplasty, bypass, amputation), hospitalization for heart failure, aortic dissection, chronic kidney disease (doubling of creatinine, dialysis), and sudden death. Twenty-five research centers will include a total of 1500 patients, in order to show a 20% reduction in the primary combined endpoint - the incidence of which is estimated at 10% per year - in the PWV group compared to the conventional group.
A Comparative Study on Modelling and Forecasting Tourism Revenues: The Case of Turkey
Authors: ÇUHADAR Murat
Published: December 2020

Tourism revenues have important implications for tourism countries in terms of management of tourism-related policies. In order to accurately direct production planning, pricing, promotion and strategic marketing programs, labor and capital resources, accurate and reliable forecasts are needed. Forecasting the developments in tourism with scientific basis methods is an important guide for central and local public administration programs and tourism operators. When reviewing the literature, comparative studies on modeling and forecasting tourism revenues using Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are limited and this paper aims to fill this gap. Based on the gap seen in the literature, the purpose of this study is to develop the optimal forecasting model that yields the highest accuracy when compared the forecast performances of three different methods namely Exponential Smoothing, Box-Jenkins and ANNs for forecasting Turkey’s tourism revenues. Forecasting performances of the models were measured by MAPE statistics. As a result of the analyses performed, it was found that ANN Model with [4:5:1] architecture was the best one among the all models applied in this study.
El papel de las modalidades de recepción y producción en la comprensión del discurso: Un estudio sobre sus interacciones en alumnado de Educación Primaria
Authors: Vieiro Iglesias Pilar
Published: December 2020

El objetivo de este trabajo es estudiar el papel que desempeñan las modalidades de recepción (escucha/lectura) y de producción (habla/escritura) del lenguaje en niños de 3º de Primaria, 49 niñas y 49 niños, (media de edad: 8.2 años). Se utilizaron dos tipos de medida: el análisis microproposicional del texto y el análisis de gramática de cuentos. En el análisis microproposicional, los resultados mostraron diferencias significativas y las interacciones tanto entre las condiciones de recepción (escucha y lectura) como en las de producción (habla y escritura). La comunicación oral (escuchar y hablar) facilitó la identificación de las ideas principales (se generaron más macrorreglas), mientras que la comunicación escrita (lectura y escritura) facilitó las estrategias memorísticas (recuerdo literal). Por su parte, los análisis a partir de la gramática de historias no mostraron diferencias significativas entre las modalidades ni interacciones entre ellas: la organización estructural y el tipo de proposiciones recordaron fueron muy similares en las cuatro condiciones.

Published: December 2020

En la actualidad, la figura del cuidador informal resulta imprescindible debido al notable envejecimiento de la población y por consiguiente, al aumento en la tasa de personas dependientes. Cuidador informal es la persona que realiza la atención de cuidados de personas dependientes. Esta investigación pretende analizar la calidad de vida percibida además de la necesidad de formación de los cuidadores informales de personas dependientes. Entre los objetivos reside el formar al cuidador en conocimientos, habilidades y actitudes, conocer las características principales del cuidador de personas dependientes y mejorar su calidad de vida. El método utilizado consta de tres partes diferenciadas: una búsqueda bibliográfica de artículos científicos, una intervención para cuidadores basada en formación teórico práctica sobre cuidados valorada mediante encuestas y, por último, un exhaustivo análisis estadístico. Como resultados objetivamos que la cuidadora es mujer, hija y sin conocimiento ni experiencia en enfermedades graves. Al mismo tiempo se da una relación estadísticamente significativa entre la edad y la actividad. Finalmente, la conclusión y discusión de este estudio demuestra la efectividad de la intervención del profesional de enfermería con los cuidadores y objetiva que el perfil del cuidador es similar a otros estudios previos.

Authors: Fernández Francisco Javier , Calvo Inmaculada , Montero Sergio , Torró Galaad
Published: December 2020

La prematuridad es uno de los principales problemas de la sanidad perinatal; teniendo en cuenta su elevada incidencia, la morbilidad mostrada a corto y largo plazo, y la escasa evidencia científica que determine la influencia que los factores de riesgo tienen sobre el desarrollo motor en prematuros, nos planteamos realizar un estudio que analizara la influencia que los factores de riesgo perinatales tienen sobre la motricidad gruesa de esta población. El método es un estudio observacional de corte transversal sobre una muestra de 261 prematuros, evaluados desde noviembre de 2014 hasta abril de 2018. Se utilizó la Escala de Desarrollo Motor Infantil de Alberta (AIMS), para comprobar el nivel de desarrollo motor grueso, el percentil en el cual se encuentra el prematuro, y el Inventario de Riesgo Perinatal (PERI) para determinar la puntuación y el nivel de riesgo perinatal. Los resultados encontrados han sido: se muestra una relación significativa e inversa entre el riesgo perinatal y la motricidad gruesa, en ambos sexos (p = 0.000). Por tanto, el desarrollo motor grueso de los niños prematuros es menor conforme aumenta el nivel de riesgo perinatal. La hemorragia intracraneal y la edad gestacional son los factores de riesgo perinatales que mayor influencia han mostrado sobre el desarrollo motor grueso de los niños prematuros.

They have a strategic role in correction revitalization that is the pre-adjudication, adjudication and post-adjudication phases. The core business is community research, guidance, legal assistance, supervision, and a team of correctional observers. This research used a mix-method approach, namely, quantitative and qualitative. It consisted of primary data obtained from respondents with a google form questionnaire, a depth-interview with informants, and secondary data collected by books, journals, regulations, theory, and other literature. The results showed that the role had not optimized yet, It was influenced by some factors that were, a lack of the capacity, competence, and skills of the probation officers then, the ratio of the number of clients to the probation officers, budget support, facilities, and infrastructure to carry out the goals. Then the obstacles, namely the difference in perceptions of regulations/rules between correctional technical implementing units related to the duties and functions of probation officers, their skills, in terms of capacity, quantity, and quality to support the revitalization of correctional and lacking budget were factors that affected the optimization of their duties and functions.
Integrasi Prinsip Non-Refoulement dengan Prinsip Jus Cogens pada Kebijakan Penanganan Pengungsi di Indonesia
Authors: Yulianto Rohmad Adi
Published: December 2020

Problematika kemanusiaan yang jamak terjadi di berbagai negara memunculkan fenomena migrasi manusia lintas negara. Indonesia menjadi salah satu negara yang menjadi tujuan singgah migrasi pengungsi sebelum mereka diberikan suaka oleh negara-negara pemberi suaka. Migrasi pengungsi lintas negara mempengaruhi terbentuknya regulasi supra nasional tentang perlindungan, status, dan hak-hak para pengungsi pencari suaka, baik di negara penerima maupun negara singgah. Penelitian ini menganalisis hubungan antara prinsip non-refoulement dengan norma kepastian yang terkandung di dalam prinsip jus cogens pada sumber hukum internasional. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan yuridis filosofis dengan memaparkan hubungan antara tiga aliran dalam hukum internasional: naturalis, positivis, dan kosmopolis. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa kebijakan penanganan pengungsi di Indonesia tidak melandaskan kepatuhan negara atas prinsip non-refoulement terhadap konvensi tahun 1951 tentang pengungsi, melainkan berdasarkan kepada kovenan dan konvensi internasional tentang Hak Asasi Manusia dan Hak Sipil yang telah diratifikasi Pemerintah Indonesia melalui Undang-undang RI Nomor 5 tahun 1998, Undang-undang RI Nomor 39 tahun 1999, dan Undang-undang RI Nomor 12 tahun 2005. Penelitian ini juga menyimpulkan bahwa ketiga aliran filsafat rezim hukum internasional; Naturalis, Positivis, dan Kosmopolis, memiliki kesamaan dalam memetakan dasar kepatuhan negara terhadap aturan-aturan supranasional, yaitu terdapatnya sikap negara secara sukarela untuk mengikatkan diri ke dalam kesepakatan dengan negara lain.

Published: December 2020

This research study the effect of surface modification and copper (Cu) plating carbon fiber (CF) surface on the thermal stability and wettability of carbon fiber (CF)/epoxy (EP) composites. The TGA result indicates that the thermal-stability of carbon fiber may be enhanced after Cu coating CF. TGA curve showed that the treatment temperature was enhanced thermal stability of Ep/CF, this is due to the oxidation during heating. The Cu plating increased the thermal conductivity, this increase might be due to reduce in contact resistance at the interface due to chemical modification and copper plating and tunneling resistance.

   The increase of surface polarity after coating cause decrease in  the value of contact angle. As well as the increase of CuO as a function of the heat temperature cause the rapid contact angle decrease and can strongly enhance the wettability.

Managing substitutive and complementary technologies in cultural institutions
Authors: Modlinski Artur , Pinto Luis Moreira
Published: December 2020

Digitalization and artificial intelligence are changing modern business organizations. New technologies help to analyze business environment, track customers, control work performance and improve prod-ucts. The aforementioned phenomenon has received considerably little attention in current literature on culture management. Our goal is to find (1) what types of technologies are used by cultural institutions (CIs) and (2) for what reason. The hypothesis of the article is that CIs use various technologies and tools. Websites, leaflets and audiovisual materials of 139 CIs around the world (theaters, art galleries, opera houses, museums) were analyzed. It was found that CIs use both complementary (CT) as well as substitutive technologies (ST) for managerial and mission-oriented purposes. In our article, the matrix of technologies used by CIs is proposed. Our findings suggest that CIs adapt to changing technological environment by implementing tools that support them in the mission’s fulfillment and management. Moreover, new technologies are used by CIs as both employees’ reinforcement as well as their replace-ment.
Missing Chain? Challenges for the Contemporary Study of 18th Century Belarusian Language and Culture
Authors: Getka Joanna
Published: December 2020

The dominant axiom of Belarusian historical linguistics holds that the Belarusian literary language was created in the 19th century. According to this perspective, the contemporary Belarusian literary language is a new entity, separate from the old writing tradition. Its supporters therefore sanction the thesis that this writing tradition was broken, despite recent research proving the continuity of the Belarusian language. The present analysis shows that the reproduction of cliches about ‘the breaking of the tradition’ in textbooks used for teaching Belarusian language cause significant cognitive dissonance. Modern conscious Belarusians are building their identity based on the tradition of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, feeling themselves its heirs. The building of a modern identity should, however, incorporate references to language which is an important component of it. The analyzed textbooks contradict this by maintaining that the Belarusian literary language has its roots in the 19th century.

Authors: Munadel Areej , Hamza Ekhlas kadhum
Published: December 2020

As a result of the increase in wireless applications, this led to a spectrum problem, which was often a significant restriction. However, a wide bandwidth (more than two-thirds of the available) remains wasted due to inappropriate usage. As a consequence, the quality of the service of the system was impacted. This problem was resolved by using cognitive radio that provides opportunistic sharing or utilization of the spectrum. This paper analyzes the performance of the cognitive radio spectrum sensing algorithm for the energy detector, which implemented by using a MATLAB Mfile version (2018b). The signal to noise ratio SNR vs. Pd probability of detection for OFDM and SNR vs. BER with CP cyclic prefix with energy detector is calculated and analyzed. In this paper, the proposed work produces more accurate results compared to the existing techniques at low SNR values.

Published: December 2020

The article is devoted to the problems of continuous professional education of doctors within distance learning. The effectiveness of continuous professional development of specialists in the field of health care, the use of information technologies in the educational process, the introduction of web technologies in distance learning, as well as the factors of efficiency and productivity of distance education have been investigated. The own results of distance learning introduction on the basis of Donetsk national medical university for the doctors who have received special training with a cycle “Medical psychology» during a global quarantine have been presented. Four main categories of problems faced by students and teachers within the distance work have been identified. The ways of solving the established problems have been outlined and the steps of effective organization of distance learning and feedback of students from the cycle “Medical Psychology” have been given. These outlined problems are divided into organizational, competence, learning and teaching, personal — characterological. The solution of the outlined problems can be divided into levels: organizational problems are solved at the level of the educational institution; competence — the level of the educational institution and faculty; educational and methodical — within the profile department or departments; personal-characterological — within the system of interaction “teacher-listener”. Competently organized distance learning improves the educational process, improves the quality and control of acquired knowledge and forms effective feedback.

In many higher education institutions of Ukraine there are centers of distance education, the system of which is based on a number of principles: continuity; democratization; integration; globalization. In the conditions of the declared quarantine connected with the Covid–19 pandemic in the educational process of higher educational institutions and medical in particular distance learning has become especially relevant. The aim is to descriptive the forms and methods of distance learning on the example of microbiology, virology and immunology in TNMU and department of microbiology, virology and immunology ZSMU. Microsoft Office 365 (MS Teams application) and Skype for Business were chosen as the main platforms for the implementation of distance learning at ZSMU for the quarantine period. As a platform for distance education at the Department of Microbiology, Virology and Immunology, TNMU used the capabilities of Moodle. Distance learning at ZSMU and TNMU was carried out according to the schedule drawn up at the beginning of the semester using two forms of education, because this combination best helps to implement and ensure the learning process: online conferences and coverage of all materials on the department’s website. The advantages of distance learning are obvious today.This form of learning has significant potential, because the software capabilities of the Microsoft Office 365 and Moodle platforms allow you to quickly transfer any amount of study material to students with its subsequent storage and permanent access for self-study and repetition, as well as various forms of student knowledge control and documentation of the received marks. For successful distance learning it is very important to choose the optimal form of learning or a combination thereof. However, it cannot completely replace traditional education and necessarily requires practical work, especially when studying disciplines at the Department of Microbiology, Virology and Immunology.

In modern conditions, the processes of reforming the health care system in Ukraine are going along with the transformation of medical education, including the postgraduate stage of training doctors. The introduction of system of continuous professional development has led to new requirements for the organization of the educational process, and changing in the technology of knowledge transfer. Only separate independent disciplines cease to be the basis of education. The ability to form the skills of obtaining the acquired knowledge and their practical application also becomes the basis of education in modern conditions. So, the modernization of education is associated with the implementation of a competency-based approach, one of the aspects of which is interdisciplinary integration. This is a change in the orientation of education from the transfer of knowledge in one subject/section to the formation of a generalizing picture of the problem and the search for optimal ways to solve it. Taking into account the importance of adapting educational programs and teaching methods to the modern needs of practical health care, in order to increase the competence of listeners the principles of interdisciplinary integration were applied in the work of the Department of Pediatrics at KhMAPE. This article presents the experience of using transdisciplinary teaching: a binary lecture in conjunction with the Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Orthodontics and Implantology of KhMAPE and holding transdisciplinary interuniversity conferences in conjunction with the Department of Laboratory Diagnostics of the NFU. Unusual presentation of the material, cooperation of specialists of various profiles demonstrated great interest of the audience and received their positive assessment. The use of innovative methods of multidisciplinary interaction during training cycles in postgraduate medical education contributes to an increase in its quality and motivation to study, to formation professional competent skills of doctors.

В статье речь идет о необходимости создания виртуального Музея Славянских Культур, потребность в котором в наше время все убыстряющейся цифровизации различных сфер жизни представляется очевидной. Размещенные в нем материалы о культурах южных, восточных и западных славян от древности до наших дней предполагается размещать на веб-сайтах не только на русском, но и на английском языке — самом распространенном языке в мире, которым в большей или меньшей степени владеют 1,5 млрд. человек. Последнее позволит осуществить прорыв в распространении знаний о культурах славян в инославянской среде. Экспозиция в таком музее не будет дублировать материалы, имеющиеся в многочисленных специализированных энциклопедиях, справочниках и Википедии. Статьи для Музея будут созданы лучшими специалистами, которые сумеют выстроить точный культурный ландшафт славянского мира, не загружая сознание посетителей второстепенными и ненужными им фактами. Автор предлагает оптимальную, по его мнению, трехчастную структуру музейных статей, которые в сопровождении визуальных материалов будут способны удовлетворить самые разнообразные интересы и вкусы посетителей создаваемого Музея.
П.А. Ровинский и открытие Черногории читателям России
Authors:   Институт славяноведения РАН, Гусев Никита  Сергеевич
Published: December 2020

В статье рассказывается о судьбе П.А. Ровинского, которая напоминала авантюрный роман. Он обошел пешком чешские и черногорские земли, дважды был выслан за пределы Австро-Венгрии, объехал Сибирь, посетил Китай и США, руководил колонией для малолетних преступников, дружил с Н.Г. Чернышевским. Но в историю он вошел в связи со своим пребыванием в Черногории. Ровинский дружил с местным князем, внушил огромное доверие и уважение к себе у местного населения, впервые провел археологические раскопки, как дипломат представлял Россию, но главное — написал многотомное описание страны, которое не устарело и сейчас.

Доментиан, сербский агиограф XIII в.
Authors:   Институт славяноведения РАН, Гаврюшина Лидия  Константиновна
Published: December 2020

Статья посвящена Доментиану — выдающемуся сербскому агиографу ХIII в., иеро монаху афонского Хиландарского монастыря. Он явился автором жития св. Саввы, архиепископа Сербского(ок.1170–1235), завершенного им в 1243 или 1254 г. Позднее на его основе и при использовании жития, написанного в 1216 г. Стефаном Первовенчанным (1165–1227), он создал житие святого Симеона Сербского. Агиографические сочинения Доментиана возникли в период рас-цвета сербской государственности, их отличает высокий панегирический стиль.
Древнейшая датированная рукописная книга у восточных славян Остромирово Евангелие
Authors:   Институт славяноведения РАН, Калиганов Игорь Иванович
Published: December 2020

В статье рассказывается о древнейшей восточнославянской датированной рукописи: Остромировом Евангелии 1056–1057 гг. Оно получило свое название по имени новгородского посадника Остромира — доверенного лица киевского князя, назначенного им для управления городом. Скорее всего, Остромир вложил это роскошное Евангелие в только что выстроенный собор Св. Софии — главный храм Северо-Западной Руси. У этой драгоценной рукописи была переменчивая судьба: кроме Новгорода, она побывала в Москве и Санкт-Петербурге, принадлежала русским императорам и императрицам, пока не была передана в начале XIX в. на библиотечное хранение. Находящееся ныне в Российской национальной библиотеке Санкт-Петербурга Остромирово Евангелие служит прекрасным образцом для изучения литературно-книжного языка Древней Руси, славяно-русской палеографии и искусства иллюминации рукописных книг: инициалов, за-ставок и миниатюр. Дальним протографом Остромирова Евангелия, возможно, послужила одна из болгарских рукописей из Великого Преслава — столицы Болгарии в конце IX–X вв.
Святой благоверный князь Лазарь Сербский, погибший в битве с турками на Косовом поле
Authors:   Институт славяноведения РАН, Калиганов Игорь Иванович
Published: December 2020

Статья посвящена князю Лазарю, правившему Сербией в XIV в. около двух десятков лет и погибшему затем в битве с турками на Косовом поле в 1389 г. Он проявил себя успешным правителем и дипломатом, сумел объединить значительную часть разрозненных сербских земель, укрепить династические связи со своими балканскими соседями, урегулировать конфликт Сербской церкви с Константинопольской патриархией. Почти сразу же после гибели князь Лазарь был провозглашен святым мучеником. Его фигура заняла видное место в сербской литературе и фольклоре. Культ князя Лазаря в XVI в. проник в Московское государство, но был меньшим по сравнению с почитанием в русских землях св. архиепископа Саввы Сербского и св. Симеона Сербского.
Сербский писатель и переводчик XIV в. Исайя Серрский
Authors:   Институт славяноведения РАН, Гаврюшина Лидия  Константиновна
Published: December 2020

В статье идет речь об Исайе Серрском — афонском иноке XIV в., переводчике корпуса богословских сочинений Псевдо-Дионисия Ареопагита (V в.) с греческого на славянский язык. В 1349 г. он, по-видимому, стал игуменом Пантелеймонова монастыря на Афоне. Исайя был близок к сербским правителям и иногда выступал от их имени в качестве дипломата. В 1375 г. ему удалось оказать содействие Сербской Церкви в примирении ее с Константинопольской Патриархией. Выступил Исайя и в качестве автора краткого сочинения, известного как «Рассказ о разорении турками Македонии». Оно помещено в предисловии к переводу «Ареопагитик» и представляет собой единственное в своем роде художественно-историческое свидетельство о битве сербов с турками на реке Марице в 1371 г.
Болгарский прозаик, журналист и революционер Любен Каравелов
Authors:   Институт славяноведения РАН, Смольянинова Марина Геннадиевна
Published: December 2020

В статье речь идет о Любене Каравелове (1834–1879) — крупнейшем болгарском писателе, творившем в эпоху Болгарского национального возрождения, авторе повестей, рассказов, этнографических очерков и политико-публицистических статей. Почти вся его творческая жизнь прошла в эмиграции: он жил в России, Сербском княжестве, Австро-Венгрии и Румынии и публиковал свои произведения не только на болгарском, но и на русском и сербском языках, оказывая воздействие на развитие литературных процессов там, где он находился. В своей творческой эволюции он двигался к реалистическому изображению действительности, преодолевая тогдашнюю склонность болгарских писателей к элементам сентиментализма и революционному романтизму. Ему принадлежит лучшая болгарская повесть той эпохи — «Болгары старого времени». Во многих его произведениях отразилось влияние Н.В. Гоголя, Н.Г. Чернышевского и М. Вовчок. Он способствовал становлению реализма не только в болгарской, но и в сербской литературе. Масштабность его фигуры была бы гораздо больше, не умри он в возрасте 45 лет от туберкулеза сразу же после освобождения Болгарии от османского ига.
Даниил II, архиепископ Сербский
Authors:   Институт славяноведения РАН, Гаврюшина Лидия  Константиновна
Published: December 2020

В статье идет речь о сербском иерархе Данииле II (ок. 1274–1337), прошедшем путь от игумена Хиландарского монастыря до Печского архиепископа. Он про-явил себя плодовитым агиографом, автором сочинений, которые были объединены в сборник «Жития королей и архиепископов сербских». В нем были помещены агиобиографии королей Уроша и Драгутина, королевы Елены и короля Милутина, архиепископов Арсения I, Иоанникия I и Евстафия I. Позднее в него вошло и житие самого Даниила, написанное его учеником после смерти учителя. Созданные Даниилом жизнеописания королей и архиепископов Сербских связаны между собой по содержанию и композиционно. Составленный из них сборник является своеобразным типологическим предшественником «Книги Степенной царского родословия» — монументального памятника, созданного в Московском государстве около двух с половиной веков спустя. Кроме того, Даниил выступил автором гимнографических сочинений и, по предположению ученых, принял участие в составлении жалованной грамоты короля Милутина Хиландарскому монастырю.
Императорское Общество истории и древностей российских и развитие в нем болгарской проблематики (первая половина XIX в.)
Authors:   Институт славяноведения РАН, Фролова Марина Михайловна
Published: December 2020

В статье рассматривается история создания Императорского Общества истории и древностей российских (ОИДР), освещается его научная и издательская деятельность в первой половине XIX в. в формате изучения болгарской проблематики. На основе приведенного материала делается вывод о том, что ОИДР, нацеленное на повышение престижа и развитие отечественной исторической науки, способствовало формированию сообщества людей, увлеченных идеями познания и национального служения — «ученого содружества». И хотя болгарские сюжеты не были доминирующими в славянской проблематике, активно разрабатывавшейся членами ОИДР с 1830-х годов, но их появление свидетельствовало об увеличении познавательного интереса к болгарскому народу. Деятельность ОИДР способствовала накоплению знаний о болгарском народе, его истории и культуре и их осмыслению.
