Authors: Carrillo Arango Hugo Alejandro , Atencio-Osorio Miguel Alejandro , Vidarte Claros José Armando
Published: December 2023

Objetivo: Determinar las variables de condición física saludable predictoras de sintomatología depresiva en jóvenes universitarios.
 
Método: Este estudio presenta un diseño observacional descriptivo de corte transversal con una fase multivariada, que utilizó el cuestionario autoadministrado BECK (BDI-2) con el objetivo de determinar sintomatología depresiva, en una muestra de 344 estudiantes universitarios entre 18 y 39 años, matriculados en cuatro diferentes universidades de la ciudad de Santiago de Cali, Colombia. La condición física relacionada con la salud se valoró a partir de la batería Alpha Fit Adultos; con los análisis correlacionales se construyó un modelo de regresión logística binario que pudiera establecer cuáles variables de condición física se asocian a una sintomatología depresiva en este tipo de población.
 
Resultados: Correlaciones inversas y estadísticamente significativas fueron observadas entre el puntaje de depresión del inventario de Depresión de Beck-II, con los indicadores de condición física aeróbica r = -0,202, p=0,000; fuerza prensil media r = -0,113, p=0,036; salto alto r = -0,177, p=0,000; flexión de brazos r = -0,158, p=0,003; y test de figura en 8 r = -0,146, p=0,006). Universitarios con mayores niveles de sintomatología depresiva presentan un fenotipo de menor condición física, principalmente en el indicador de resistencia cardiorrespiratoria (β= -0,059; p<0,004 Exp (B) 0,942).
 
Conclusiones: Los resultados obtenidos en el presente estudio muestran que un fenotipo asociado a menor condición física cardiorrespiratoria se asocia con mayores niveles de sintomatología depresiva.

Authors: Mebarak Chams Moises , Aragón – Barceló Jeremías , Álvarez – Alzate Ivanna , Oliveros Charris Jesús , Mejía Rodríguez Dania Liz
Published: December 2023

Objetivo: Analizar avances en la literatura científica sobre factores de riesgo y sintomatología a corto y largo plazo del abuso sexual en niños, niñas y adolescentes.
 
Método: Mediante una revisión de artículos científicos en inglés y en español, se seleccionaron 27 investigaciones disponibles en APA PsycArticles, Dialnet, Springer y ScienceDirect, entre 2011 y 2020 con información cuantitativa o cualitativa sobre factores de riesgo y sintomatología del abuso sexual en niños, niñas y adolescentes.
 
Resultados: Se identifican factores de riesgo asociados a grupos etarios, principalmente entre 6-7 y 12-13 años, tipos de familias reconstituidas, así como a la presencia de cuidadores distintos a los padres. Entre los síntomas a corto plazo, se identifican cambios bruscos de comportamiento, dificultades en las relaciones interpersonales, angustia, miedo y culpa. Además, se registran lesiones físicas y alteraciones somáticas. A largo plazo se identifican síntomas asociados a estrés postraumático, conductas suicidas, trastornos alimenticios, dificultades de interacción social y en menor medida drogodependencia.
 
Conclusiones: Respecto a los factores de riesgo se visibiliza el uso de redes sociales como un referente a considerar en las dinámicas actuales. Sin embargo, la literatura enfatiza en seguir consolidando el análisis de estos factores y su articulación con acciones pertinentes para la prevención y atención oportuna del abuso. En cuanto a la sintomatología se evidencian avances en el análisis a corto plazo, pues no sólo se aborda lo físico y fisiológico sino también desde lo psicosocial. Similarmente, el análisis de la sintomatología a largo plazo se orienta principalmente a procesos psicosociales.
Prominent scholars and their contributions to authenticity research in tourism studies
Authors:   The Tourism Sciences Society Of Korea, Shim Chang-Sup
Published: December 2023

The concept of authenticity has played a crucial and unique role in the history of tourism studies, resulting in theoretical advancements through vigorous debates. Focusing on the fundamental mechanism of tourism, the normative characteristics of the authenticity concept have facilitated diverse academic perspectives and traditions to interact with one another. The current study aims to introduce four prominent scholars who significantly influenced the authenticity discussion in tourism studies and their conceptualization of authenticity. Daniel Boorstin pointed out mass tourism as a symbolic phenomenon of American society, which is full of fakes that seem to be real, and asserted that tourists only seek pleasure without interest in authenticity. Dean McCannell argued that tourists pursue authenticity, which is believed to exist behind commercialized tourist attractions, by using the concept of ‘staged authenticity’. Erik Cohen suggested that each tourist pursues authenticity to various degrees and that authenticity is not a fixed value but a negotiable value that continuously changes. Ning Wang proposed the concept of existential authenticity, arguing that the concept of authenticity can be applied to the subjective experiences of tourists. Each scholar's concept of authenticity reflects not only the scholar's view on tourism but also his/her academic trajectory, worldview, and historical context. This study provides an opportunity to reflect on how humans have established the normative value of ‘real’ in the behavioral context of tourism amid the progress of human civilization.
Journal Issues of Theory and Practice of Journalism in the Academic Media Space
Authors: Demina Irina
Published: December 2023

The article presents the findings of the analysis of the ten-year review of the research published in the academic journal "Issues of Theory and Practice of Journalism". The study addresses the questions of how successful the journal has been, its role in communication between researchers in the scientific field of “Mass Communication. Journalism. MEDIA”. The study employed statistical analysis of an extensive database of all articles published in the journal over the period of ten years. The main scientific metric indicators of the journal and their dynamics are given. We revealed the changes of the following indicators: a two-year impact factor of the journal for the entire period of its existence; data on citation of articles published in the journal, data on authors, a five-year Herfindahl index for citing journals and organizations of authors; a ten-year Hirsch index, demand for journal articles in the scientific community; number of issues, number of articles, average size of an article (number of pages), structure of affiliated authors of articles of the journal Issues of Theory and Practice of Journalism by scientific status and structure of authors — doctors and candidates of sciences in scientific specialties, structure of titles of the journal Issues of Theory and Practice of Journalism. We found that the scientific metric indicators of the journal show constant growth. The authors of the journal represent vast geography, high status and various academic majors. The journal consistently follows a policy of careful consideration of all articles, “blind” review by at least two experts, and through editing of each potential publication.
The list of headings in the journal is a flexible tool for updating the issues that arise in the theory and practice of journalism. The journal is built as a platform not only for scientific communication at the interregional, international and regional levels, but also for scientific “roll call” between representatives of different scientific fields — both socio-humanitarian and mathematical.
State Media System and National Identity of the Population of the Regions (on the Example of Catalonia)
Authors: Pruttskov Grigory , Moudrik Svetlana
Published: December 2023

The study examined the specifics of the formation and functioning of the media system of Catalonia. One of the most important factors of this topic is the problem of national identity. The characteristic of the regional media system is the coverage of facts that relate to the national identity of Catalonia and the techniques used in media coverage (including government support for the use of the Catalan language in the media). The national identity of Catalonia is partly the result of the transformation of the media system throughout the historical period. From the Franco regime to the present day, there has been an increasing trend in the formation of national identity in the media sphere.
The relevance of the study is determined by the situation in Catalonia and the position of the majority of its separatist inhabitants, which contributes to the development of the region's media system. The issue addresses the history of the development of separatist sentiments in the media sphere of the region and factors that influenced its formation, as well as its current state. We examined the role of the media in maintaining and developing separatist sentiments in the region and, in particular, in the key events of recent years related to national self-identification. The way to address the problem is to establish interaction between the region and Spain and provide mutual support of such sentiments on the part of the population. It is these factors associated with the struggle for national identity that influence the role and nature of the Catalan media system both in the historical context and now.
We found that the development trend of the media sphere of Catalonia throughout its existence did not change and had a separatist orientation, and its main role now is to maintain such sentiments in the region.
The study revealed that history of the region’s struggle for its dependence influenced the formation and nature of media system.
Media Image of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in Russian Media Publications (Using the Example of Online Versions of the Publications Of Rossiyskaya Gazeta and Izvestia)
Authors: Han Jiaxing , Takazov Valery
Published: December 2023

The article examined the media image of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China from the perspective of highlighting the image of the region. We selected publications mentioning Xinjiang in the online versions of the publications Rossiyskaya Gazeta and Izvestia as the closest to the leadership of the Russian Federation. The study employed the continuous sampling method, frame and discourse analysis. The relevance of this study is due to the fact that the internal problems of Xinjiang regularly get covered not only by Chinese, but also foreign media. The media are becoming a platform of rivalry between China and the West in terms of creating public opinion among foreign audiences on Xinjiang issues. Publications of Russian media, including Rossiyskaya Gazeta and Izvestia, not only reflect the attitude of the Russian leadership to China's internal ethnic problems, but also contribute to a balanced coverage of China's national policy. Frame analysis of selected publications revealed that the media image of Xinjiang in Rossiyskaya Gazeta and Izvestia is formed around the following core ideas (frames): permanent social crises in Xinjiang; high risk of terrorism in the region, frequent natural disasters; quick response of Chinese government to disasters; unstable political situation, which is skillfully used by a number of Western countries to weaken China's economic influence; Xinjiang has an ancient history and culture and is rich in natural resources; the Chinese government regards Xinjiang as a key region of China's economic development and closely cooperates with Russia in the field of logistics and energy. In general, these materials state that Xinjiang is facing serious social crises due to the abundance of internal and external problems.
Essay On the Acta Diurna of the Old Romans (1740) as the Point of Origin in the Historiography of English Journalism
Authors: Vinichenko Vitaly
Published: December 2023

It is widely believed that the first English works devoted to history of journalism, such as The Fourth Estate: Contributions Towards a History of Newspapers by F. K. Hunt (1850) and The History of British Journalism by A. Andrews (1859) appeared in the middle of the XIX century and were the result of the public interest originated at least a half century earlier. Contrary to this, this study suggests that the origin of this interest may be traced down to the essay On the Acta Diurna of the Old Romans, published as the preface to the annual volume of The Gentleman’s Magazine for the year 1740. Belonging to the pen of Philip Yorke, second Earl of Hardwicke (1720–1790), the essay is notable for several reasons. It includes probably the first English translation of two supposed extracts from Acta Diurna, widely known as «fragmenta Dodwelliana», but even more interesting feature of the essay is the attempt by P.Yorke to trace the origin of contemporary newspapers all the way down to the Acta Diurna of Ancient Rome, despite of all their acknowledged dissimilarities. Based on the idea posed by B. Anderson in the preface to the second edition of his book The Imagined Communities we put forward the hypothesis that the essay of P.York constituted the very first attempt in fulfilling the need for a new narrative of identity naturally resulted from rupture in the history of the English press during the last decades of the XVII century.

Russia-Czech Republic Relations on Television of the Czech Republic
Authors: Lapuk Ekaterina
Published: December 2023

The Communist past is perceived negatively by modern Czechs and since Russia is the successor of the Soviet Union, a negative image can effect the coverage of Russian-Czech relations and the image of modern Russia in the Czech media. The study applied qualitative and quantitative content analysis to study the coverage of Russian-Czech relations by the leading television channels of the Czech Republic Česká televize 1 and Prima. The findings of the analysis of 1,195 video news illustrate that Russia plays a significant role on the international agenda of Česká televize 1 and Prima. The main feature of the coverage is a focus on the political and historical element of the Russian-Czech relations. 49 % of video news about Russian-Czech relations by Česká televize 1 were dedicated to politics, 28 % were about history, 8 % to sports and culture. A recurring theme in analyzed news about Russian-Czech relations is freedom’s theme. Česká televize 1 and Prima primarily focus on coverage of events inside the Czech Republic (at least 60 % of the analyzed news stories). Czech TV channels have a tendency to create heroic images of people criticizing authorities of the Russian Federation (B. Nemtsov, A. Politkovskaya after whom the Czechs named two city facilities in Prague). Another feature is the indirect creation of Russia’s image as a large militarized country, which played the role of an oppressor for the Czechs in the recent past.

Authors: KARAÇAM Fatih
Published: December 2023

Bending of a laminated composite beam under to a sinusoidal loading is carried out for simply support boundary condition for a specific cross-ply stacking sequence. To demonstrate the accuracy of the analytical results, a computer-aided engineering (CAE) approach is used. In the analytical solution, a unified shear deformation theory with a parabolic shape function is used. The longitudinal and vertical displacements, normal and shear stresses, namely, the bending stresses of analytical and CAE solutions are obtained and compared with the literature. Although two different methods are used in the study, the analysis results converge to the reference values. The variation of the displacements, normal and shear stresses are illustrated in the graphics with respect to the beam length and thickness respectively.

Published: December 2023

The rapid development of technology encourages learning methods that are more practical, efficient, and fast. E-learning is believed to be an effective learning method for nurses in the hospital environment. The e-learning module requires adequate facilities and positive learner characteristics. Understanding nurses' needs and learning perspectives will facilitate e-learning implementation, especially for continuing nursing education. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between experiences and the importance of e-learning, barriers, motivation, and nurses' attitudes towards the e-learning method in a private hospital. This study applied a quantitative method with a correlation design and conducted a purposive sampling technique with 66 samples. This study used an attitude questionnaire towards e-learning which was adapted from Chong. This study revealed that most of the nurses already had experienced e-learning (98.5%). In addition, half of the nurses had positive attitudes towards e-learning (53%), almost two-thirds of nurses were motivated (74.2%), more than half perceived that e-learning is less critical (51.5%), and nurses reported a few obstacles to participating in e-learning (57.6%). Moreover, there was no significant relationship between experience, barriers, motivation, the importance of e-learning, and nurses' attitudes towards e-learning (p value 0.05). On the other hand, nurses also reported the main barriers to participating in e-learning included lack of time and minimum computer access to the internet ( 70%). It is noted that nurses have the motivation to continue learning in the scope of clinical practice using e-learning. Only some nurses show a positive attitude towards e-learning. Thus, some improvements are needed to support e-learning for nurses, such as more time for learning, additional knowledge about computer use, and adequate internet networking

Authors: Anindya Isti , Lestari Nur Eni
Published: December 2023

One of the causes of Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a viral infection in the mother during pregnancy. The most recorded infections were Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections. Inappropriate parenting can affect the psychological condition of CP children. Psychological conditions that are not good can cause the child's immune system to decrease and increase the risk of CMV reactivation. This is one factor in the emergence of parental anxiety about the future sustainability of their CP children. It was to determine the relationship of anti-cytomegalovirus (CMV) Immunoglobulin G in children with CP with future anxiety among parents. The design of this study used a cross-sectional approach that using CP children and their parents. Serological examination used the ELFA (Enzyme-Linked Fluorescent Assay) method for 40 CP children and a questionnaire on the future anxiety of parents of children with special needs were answered directly by the parents of CP children, 40 fathers and 40 mothers. Analysis of the research data used Spearman Rank. The results of this study found an anti-CMV IgG seropositive relationship in CP children with future anxiety in fathers (p-value = 0.022; a 0.05) and mothers (p-value = 0.011; a 0.05). If anxiety in parents has not good treatment, it will impact the care of CP children, the developmental progress of CP children will not optimal.

Published: December 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic is still a global health problem, and the lack of effective and efficient treatment standards is one of the causes of the high morbidity and mortality rates. One approach often used in various cases of COVID-19 is convalescent plasma therapy. The administration of convalescent plasma is one of the treatment options that are often used in cases of COVID-19 with mild, moderate, severe, chronic, and critical symptoms. The article review aims to analyze how convalescent plasma transfusion in various cases of COVID-19 can prevent death and improve clinical outcomes. The PRISMA flowchart is applied to filter the literature that meets the inclusion criteria: published articles with experimental or observational research discussing the use of convalescent plasma in COVID-19 patients; published January 2020 - March 2021. We conducted article searches through PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct. Assessment of the quality of the articles using the EPHPP form, and we chose ten articles. The results of the qualitative analysis prove that convalescent plasma administration in various COVID-19 cases significantly reduces viral load, clinical improvement and prevents death in mild, moderate, and severe COVID-19s, but for terminal or critical cases, it does not show significant results. The success rate of convalescent plasma therapy is determined by the high antibody titer in plasma donors, the distance between its administration and the onset of symptoms, and the patient's baseline condition before plasma administration. Based on these results, further research is needed to determine the standard dose and method of administration of convalescent plasma referring to the varied baseline conditions of patients.

Authors: Aryanti Dewi , Triguna Yudi
Published: December 2023

Urinary retention in the postpartum period (PPUR) is one of the health problems commonly handled using catheterization and antibiotic prophylaxis. This study aimed to look at the influence of peppermint oil on PPUR prevention. This quasi-experimental study with a control group design included 60 postpartum subjects (29 in the control group and 31 in the intervention group) with vaginal delivery (ages 17-50 years). The intervention group obtained treatment by giving 2 mL of peppermint oil, while the controlled group used mineral water in the closet before subjects sat on it for 5-10 minutes and voided. The bladder condition was further checked subjectively and manually by palpation before and after the exposure to peppermint oil (distention or no distention). The relationships between variables were analyzed using the Fisher Exact statistical test, obtaining no significant effect of peppermint oil administration variables on PPUR prevention (p = 0.495, CI 95%). PPUR is related to oxidative stress, tissue inflammation, and nerve impulse blocks. Peppermint oil is estimated to be one of the modalities in preventing health problems through antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antispasmodic effects. Further research is needed to validate the effect of peppermint oil on PPUR prevention. In addition, support of screening information on the condition of the bladder objectively using a bladder scanner is also needed to measure the post-void residual volume (PVRV). This study showed that peppermint oil on PPUR prevention has no significant effect and may require further investigation.

Conceptualization and Development of a Scale for Brand Experience in Extended Reality
Authors:   People&Global Business Association, j j
Published: December 2023

Purpose: This study aims to conceptualize the brand experience that users' avatars can experience on an XR platform and develop items to measure it.
Design/methodology/approach: The author presents both a conceptual analysis of brand experience in XR (BXIXR) and a BXIXR scale by conducting a review of marketing research and immersive technology. Adhering to the relevant theory and psychometric principles, the BXIXR scale was developed and validated through a literature review and item generation process, followed by confirmatory factor analysis, reliability analysis, and predictive validity testing.
Findings: This research demonstrates that BXIXR can be broken down into four dimensions that are differentially evoked by various brand spaces in XR: search, entertainment, relations, and assembly.
Research limitations/implications: This research suggested that the brand experience that users have at the boundary between the physical and virtual worlds may differ from brand experience in the physical world. In this study, it is expected that meaningful implications can be proposed in that it attempts to derive a brand experience based on an immersive economy.
Originality/value: The results of this study suggest that the BXIXR scale is a reliable and valid measure of BXIXR. The four-factor structure of the scale is consistent with the theoretical framework, and the results of the reliability and validity testing provide evidence for its robustnes.
Do I slamic S tocks Outperform C onv entional S tocks During C risis Periods? A Global Comparison
Authors:   People&Global Business Association, j j , j j
Published: December 2023

Purpose: This study examines the performance of Islamic and Conventional stock indices during the Covid-19 pandemic crises. The aim of the study is to find the existence of safe havens in Islamic stock indices.
Design/methodology/approach: The study uses mean and cumulative return values and the GARCH (1 1) model to examine the volatility performance of stock returns and the impact of Covid-19 on both indices.
Findings: Our findings indicate that Islamic stock indices tend to outperform conventional indices during crisis periods, particularly in developing economies and in the short term. However, conventional stock indices exhibit stronger performance in the long run and post-crisis periods. Moreover, the study reveals that the effects of Covid-19 cases and deaths on both indices vary across countries. Additionally, Islamic stock returns demonstrate lower volatility compared to previous shocks and returns, whereas conventional indices experience higher volatility, particularly in developing countries. Therefore, the s tudy establishes that I slamic indices can serve as safe havens for investors in certain countries, but not universally.
Research limitations/implications: The study can be extended and more effective by adding more crisis events and a number of years to examine long-term stock moments. The study can be helpful for investors in designing investment portfolios, especially in times of crisis where the majority of investors try to find safe havens for investment.
Originality/value: This study is the first to examine the impact of recent crises on Islamic and conventional stock indices in the world's big stock markets. The study is also the first one to use the longest data period among the recent studies to differentiate the performance of Islamic and conventional indices.

Background. In the phenotype of cerebral palsy, motor and mental disorders are often accompanied by epilepsy. Congenital epilepsy has been intensively researched in recent years. Special attention is drawn to epilepsy caused by congenital disturbance of the excitability of the neuronal membrane due to canalopathies.Aim. To analyze a large number of genes associated with the development of the cerebral palsy phenotype and distribute them according to determinable traits.Materials and methods. The results of clinical and genetic analysis of 136 cases of cerebral palsy with epilepsy are presented. The patients were divided into groups according to the syndromes according to the classification of cerebral palsy. Epileptic syndromes were divided into three groups: focal childhood epilepsy with structural brain changes and benign epileptiform discharges in electroencephalogram – 41 (30.1 %) cases, structural focal epilepsy – 37 (27.2 %) cases, epileptic encephalopathies – 58 (42.7 %) cases. Pathogenic variants in genes were confirmed by next generation sequencing Sanger methods of venous blood.Results. The performed risk analysis showed that in the presence of disorders in genes attributed to the group of regulation of the formation and functioning of the cytoskeleton, the risk of lack of remission is significantly lower than in other dominants, while abnormalities in genes attributed to the group of regulation of the function of the mitochondrial apparatus significantly increase the risks of failure to achieve remission and need in polytherapy.Conclusion. Probably, the violation of energy metabolism in the cell neutralizes the stabilization of the neuronal membrane under the action of anticonvulsants. The determinant of the formation and functioning of the cytoskeleton, according to our preliminary data, is largely associated with the formation of malformations of the brain. In this case, the refractoriness of epilepsy may be secondary and determined by the severity of structural changes in the brain
The main forms of leukodystrophies. Lecture and clinical cases
Authors: Ershova A. A. , Kotov A. S.

Leukodystrophies are genetically determined diseases characterised by primary damage to the white matter of the central nervous system, irrespective of the genetic defect and structural component involved. This paper classification is presented based on the identification of typical patterns characteristic of certain forms of leukodystrophy. Clinical examples are given for each of the identified patterns. The parieto-occipital pattern is considered in a clinical case of a 9-year-old boy with X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy. Frontal pattern there is an example of a genetically verified juvenile form of Alexander’s disease in a 16-year-old female patient. The periventricular pattern reflects leukoencephalopathy with brain stem and spinal cord involvement and increased lactate in a 9-year-old female patient. A subcortical pattern is considered within L-2-hydroxyglutoric aciduria in a 29-year-old patient. As examples of brainstem and cerebellar involvement patterns, autosomal dominant leukodystrophy with adult onset due to tandem duplication of the lamin B gene, identified in a 40-year-old patient, is considered. In conclusion, we present additional diagnostic methods for the differential diagnosis of brain white matter diseases and a brief overview of treatment.
BLACK METAPHORS IN WITOLD PILECKI’S REPORT
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Ukraine, Sydiachenko Nataliia
Published: December 2023

In the paper, the author has analysed the imaginative tools that function in Witold Pilecki’s “Witold’s Report”. First, the figures based on the concept of “beast” and semantically related to it ‘flock of sheep’, ‘herd of sheep’, ‘cow’, ‘beastie’, ‘guinea pig’ and others have been spotlighted. The animals that with the help of appropriate poetic means are predicted to the person who is in the mound of the circumstances of the concentration camp have been outlined. Second, an exemplary paradigm based on the concepts of ‘earth’ and ‘hell’ has been analysed. What happens in the camp is called hell (eg, hell on earth, the world of hell, hell scenes, etc.), and what happens outside the camp is called earth. These images are determined by the realm of religion; the author’s picture of the world, however, is not complete as it lacks a third component — the heavens, the paradise. Instead, there is something like a reality - smoke burning in crematoriums rising into the sky. At the end of the paper, the metaphors observed in Pilecki’s prison language have been spotlighted. The semantics of such metaphorical lexemes and phrases as Muslim is ‘a prisoner who runs away from exhaustion’; sick tourists - ‘typhoid patients taken to Brzezinka crematorium’; disinfestation of life - ‘release the hospital from the sick by killing them’; Canada - ‘valuables and money left over by gas strangled Jews enriched by the Germans and some prisoners’ and others — have been analysed. As long as one lives, he creates metaphors, even in the macabre world of the death camp. “Witold’s Report” is a valuable testimony of Witold Pilecki about the Auschwitz concentration camp, where people who were poisoned by the Nazi ideology found traits that were “worse than worse than animals” and prisoners often looked like animals.
BROTHERS JÓZEF AND LESZEK DUNIN-BORKOWSKI AND “ZIEWONIA”

The article analyzes Slavophilic views and literary works of the brothers Józef and Leszek Dunin-Borkowski, related to the activities of the Lviv magazine “Zevonia”. The Borkowski brothers revived the Slavophile movement in Lviv in cooperation with A. Bielowski, L. Siemienski, S. Goszczynski, and D. Magnuszewski. The main mission of these authors is to return to folk images and motives, to preserve the folklore heritage of the Ukrainian and Polish peoples. We can trace the closeness of the lyrics to the older brother, Jozef Dunin-Borkowski, with poems by A. Bielowski, editor of the magazine “Zievonia”. However, Bielowski was more internally focused. Whereas J. Borkowski was alive and active by nature. During his years of study in Chernivtsi, he became acquainted with the Greek culture and learned their language, which influenced the historical context of his works. He translated Herodotus, Homer, Apollodorus and others. After the fire in Rzeszów, he initiated the release of the “Memorial Album” as a collection of costs for those affected by the fire. The poet died early and did not live to see this issue. Leszek Dunin-Borkowski (pseudo – L. Szczutkiewicz) wrote the poem “Greetings” in honor of his brother. He himself was more involved in writing poems. His famous poem “Parish” is known. His works are more numerous and were published in the form of the entire poetry volume. L. Borkowski’s style is mostly satirical and significantly different from the historical context of J. Borkowski’s poems. Although the poet had access to aristocratic houses and held high positions in the Sejm and Parliament, he constantly criticized the social system, namely specific rulers. Therefore, his works were received ambiguously – some accused him of lack of talent, others adored for courage and sharpness of the word. At the end of his life, he left literature and devoted himself to politics. Based on the analysis of the works of J. Dunin-Borkowski and L. Dunin-Borkowski, we can conclude that the poetry of the group “Zievonia” was distinguished by the purity of the language, closeness to the song, folk coloring and themes, immersion in ancient customs and traditions. Thus, J. Borkowski and L. Borkowski enriched the culture of the Ukrainian-Polish borderland.
HALF-FORGOTTEN JERZY GIEDROYC

For more than 50 years Jerzy Giedroyc has been the head of Culture, a magazine that played a historical role in shaping the views of Polish emigration (at least part of it), but also of the emigration of Ukrainian, Byelorussian, Russian, other Slavic and not only Slavic peoples - and not just their emigration. Giedroyc was the author of the concept of solidarity cooperation between representatives of Eastern European emigration - as a prototype of future coexistence and political and cultural dialogue freed from the totalitarianism of the peoples of Central and Eastern Europe. This concept was also created by other prominent Polish personalities who were brought together and inspired by Giedroyc. Because the concept was based on a pressing historical need: to abandon long-standing mutual claims and antagonisms, to agree on reasonable compromises for the sake of a common neighborly future, it was confronted with the deaf or outright resistance of the conservative part of each of the diasporas. In this context, Jerzy Giedroyc attached particular importance to the Polish-Ukrainian understanding that he regarded as a fundamental prerequisite for the stability and development of the whole of Central and Eastern Europe. From the 20’s to 30’s, Giedroyc maintained contacts with a wide and diverse circle of Ukrainian figures, including Bishop Hryhori Khomyshyn, the leaders of the UNDO, Dilo editor Ivan Kedrin-Rudnytsky, nationalist ideologist Dmitry Dontsov and the emigrant from “Greater Ukraine” poet Yevgeny Malaniuk. Such prominent Ukrainian intellectuals as Ivan Lysyak-Rudnitsky, Yuri Sherekh (Shevelyov), Igor Kostetsky were associated with Culture. In France, Jerzy Giedroyc, according to his testimony, had contacts with the publisher of the Ukrainian encyclopedia Volodymyr Kubiyovych. Boris Levitsky and the extremely active Bogdan Osadchuk also cooperated with the circle of “Culture”.
