Winston Churchill’s Divi Britannici (1675) and Archipelagic Royalism
Authors: Maley Willy , Stacey Richard
Published: September 2022

Divi Britannici (1675) is a major restoration history that deserves to be more widely known. The work’s author, Sir Winston Churchill (1620–1688), is certainly less well-known than his celebrated descendant of the same name. Seldom mentioned in discussions of seventeenth-century historiography, Divi Britannici can be read alongside contemporary histories, including John Milton’s History of Britain (1670). If British historians have generally overlooked Divi Britannici then Churchill’s work did come to the notice of Michel Foucault, who recognized its arguments around conquest, rights and sovereignty as crucial to the development of political thought in the period. In this essay we excavate Churchill’s arguments, sift through the scattered critical legacy, and locate Divi Britannici both within the context of Restoration histories, with their warring interpretations of England and Britain’s past, and within a tradition of British historiography that associates monarchical rule with national stability. What scholars have missed, however, is the propensity of Churchill to align the restored Stuart monarchy with a form of ethnic co-operation between Scotland, Ireland and England, designed to counter the perceived divisions which were exacerbated by the policies of Cromwell and the parliamentarians.

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) for patients with hip osteoarthritis improves hip flexion contracture, subsequently improving spinal sagittal balance. However, in some cases, spinal sagittal imbalance develops in the course after THA, and its risk factors remain unknown. We aimed to investigate the risk factors of progressive spinal sagittal imbalance after THA. This retrospective cohort study of a prospectively maintained database included female patients aged ≥50 years who underwent THA. Before performing THA, we obtained each patient’s anthropometric and muscle strength measurements and whole-spine radiographs. Three years postoperatively, patients underwent whole-spine radiography to examine changes in the spinal sagittal balance. Patients were assigned into groups on the basis of their preoperative and 3 year postoperative sagittal vertical axis (SVA) values. Patients with 3 year postoperative SVA values ≥40 mm with an increase ≥30 mm were categorized into the imbalance group; the other patients were categorized into the non-imbalance group. Of 103 patients, 11 (10.7%) were in the imbalance group. In multiple logistic regression analysis, preoperative weak abdominal trunk muscle strength (ATMS) (p = 0.007) and small sacral slope (SS) (p = 0.005) were significant risk factors for progressive spinal sagittal imbalance. In conclusion, risk factors for progressive spinal sagittal imbalance after THA were weak preoperative ATMS and small SS.

Sensory integration disorder (SID) is also called, interchangeably, sensory processing disorder (SPD). Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune, chronic, neurological disease of the central nervous system. Sensorimotor function disorders are present in both multiple sclerosis and SID. The study aimed to assess the SID among patients with MS and included 141 patients with relapse-remitting MS and 72 participants in the control group. To assess SID in both groups, a questionnaire prepared by Daniel Travis was used. Additionally, participants answered questions regarding their age, gender, handedness and in the study group about the duration of the disease, relapses in the past year and the advancement of the disease using EDSS. The occurrence of sensory seeking was significantly more frequent in the MS patients with relapses in the past year. Patients with MS had more often general disorders of sensory integration in the past. However, healthy subjects significantly more often showed the severity of social and emotional disorders in the past. Currently, the group of MS patients has a greater intensity of sensor-based motor abilities. The study revealed more severe SID in MS patients than in the control group. Still, more research is needed in this field.

Published: September 2022

Drug-related problems (DRP, defined as adverse drug events/reactions and medication errors) are a common threat for patient safety. With the aim to aid improved allocation of specialist resources and to improve detection and prevention of DRP, numerous predictive scoring tools have been proposed. The external validation and evidence for the transferability of these tools still faces limitations. However, the proposed scoring tools include partly overlapping sets of similar factors, which may allow a new approach to estimate the external usability and validity of individual risk factors. Therefore, we conducted this systematic review and analysis. We identified 14 key studies that assessed 844 candidate risk factors for inclusion into predictive scoring tools. After consolidation to account for overlapping terminology and variable definitions, we assessed each risk factor in the number of studies it was assessed, and, if it was found to be a significant predictor of DRP, whether it was included in a final scoring tool. The latter included intake of ≥ 8 drugs, drugs of the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) class N, ≥1 comorbidity, an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <30 mL/min and age ≥60 years. The methodological approach and the individual risk factors presented in this review may provide a new starting point for improved risk assessment.

Purpose: We sought to explore the role of nomogram-combined biomarkers, mammographic microcalcification and inflammatory hematologic markers in guiding local therapy decisions in ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) subgroups with different ipsilateral breast tumour recurrence (IBTR) risk. Methods: Between January 2009 and December 2018, consecutive patients with DCIS and breast conserving surgery (BCS) were enrolled and randomly assigned to a training cohort (n = 181) and internally validation cohort (n = 78). Multivariate analyses were performed to identify predictors of IBTR. Model performance was evaluated by the concordance index (C-index) and calibration plot. The time-to-event curves were calculated by the Kaplan–Meier methods and compared by the log-rank test. Results: In total, 259 patients were enrolled and 182 of them received whole breast irradiation (WBI). After a median follow-up of 51.02 months, 23 IBTR events occurred in the whole cohort. By multivariate analyses of training cohort, presence of microinvasion, Ki67 index >14%, mammographic-clustered fine linear microcalcifications and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio before BCS (preop-NLR), >1.1 remained independent risk factors of IBTR to develop a nomogram. The C-indexes of the nomogram were 0.87 and 0.86 in the training and internal validation set, respectively. Calibration plots illustrated good agreement between the predictions and actual observations for 5-year IBTR. Cut-off values of nomogram point were identified as 53 and 115 points, which divided all patients into low-, intermediate- and high-risk groups. Significant differences in IBTR existed between low-, intermediate- and high-risk subgroups (p < 0.01). For the whole cohort and ER-positive tumours, the benefit of WBI was found only in the intermediate-risk subgroup, but not in those with low or high risk. Fourteen out of 23 IBTRs occurred outside the original quadrant and all occurred in the high-risk group. Conclusions: The novel nomogram demonstrated potential to separate the risk of IBTR and locations of IBTR. For the whole cohort and ER-positive tumours, the benefit of WBI was restricted to an intermediate-risk subgroup.
Efficient and Privacy-Preserving Certificate Activation for V2X Pseudonym Certificate Revocation
Authors: Wantoro Jan , Mambo Masahiro
Published: September 2022

Vehicle to everything (V2X) technology allows the broader development of driving safety, efficiency, and comfort. Because the vehicles can quickly send and receive frequent messages from other vehicles and nearby devices, e.g., cooperative awareness message applications on the intelligent transport system (ITS), V2X requires a good security and privacy protection system to make the messages reliable for the ITS requirements. The existing standards developed in the US and Europe use many short valid period pseudonym certificates to meet the security and privacy requirements. However, this method has difficulty ensuring that revoked pseudonym certificates are treated as revoked by any vehicles because distributing revocation information on a wireless vehicular network with intermittent and rapidly changing topology is demanding. A promising approach to solving this problem is the periodic activation of released pseudonym certificates. Initially, it releases all required pseudonym certificates for a certain period to the vehicle, and pseudonym certificates can be used only after receiving an activation code. Such activation-code-based schemes have a common problem in the inefficient use of network resources between the road-side unit (RSU) and vehicles. This paper proposes an efficient and privacy-preserving activation code distribution strategy solving the problem. By adopting the unicast distribution model of modified activation code for pseudonym certificate (ACPC), our scheme can obtain benefits of efficient activation code distribution. The proposed scheme provides small communication resource usage in the V2X network with various channel options for delivering activation codes in a privacy preserved manner.

Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine-induced myocarditis possibly share common mechanisms secondary to overactivation of the immune system. We aimed to compare the presenting characteristics of ICIs and COVID-19 vaccine-induced myocarditis. We performed a retrospective analysis of characteristics of patients diagnosed with either ICIs or COVID-19 vaccine-induced myocarditis and compared the results to a control group of patients diagnosed with acute viral myocarditis. Eighteen patients diagnosed with ICIs (ICI group) or COVID-19 vaccine (COVID-19 vaccine group)-induced myocarditis, and 20 patients with acute viral myocarditis (Viral group) were included. The ICI group presented mainly with dyspnea vs. chest pain and fever among the COVID-19 vaccine and Viral groups. Peak median high sensitivity Troponin I was markedly lower in the ICI group (median 619 vs. 15,527 and 7388 ng/L, p = 0.004). While the median left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction was 60% among all groups, the ICI group had a lower absolute mean LV global longitudinal strain (13%) and left atrial conduit strain (17%), compared to the COVID-19 vaccine (17% and 30%) and Viral groups (18% and 37%), p = 0.016 and p = 0.001, respectively. Despite a probable similar mechanism, ICI-induced myocarditis’s presenting characteristics differed from COVID-19 vaccine-induced myocarditis.

Published: September 2022

SiC particles-reinforced Al matrix composites (SiCp/AMCs) have been widely used in the aerospace structural components. In this work, 20 vol% SiCp/2A14 joint was fabricated by laser welding technology. The effects of different laser power/welding velocity on the 20 vol% SiCp/2A14 joint forming, microstructure evolution and mechanical properties were studied in detail. The results showed that, under the same heat input, the high power/high welding velocity was beneficial to reduce the porosity of SiCp/2A14 joint and inhibited the formation of brittle phase of Al4C3. At 8 kW-133 mm/s welding parameters, the maximum tensile strength of the SiCp/2A14 joint reached 199 MPa, which is ~64% higher than that of the SiCp/2A14 joint prepared at 4 kW-66 mm/s welding parameters. By analyzing the fracture morphology and SEM image of SiCp/2A14 joint section, it is was found that the porosity of weld and Al4C3 brittle phase were the important factors limiting the strength of SiCp/2A14 joint. This work provides a reference for the process window design of laser welding SiCp/2A14 composites.

Anti-severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccines may trigger immune-mediated adverse events, including myocarditis. Evidence of vaccine safety in patients with rheumatic disorders and underlying autoimmune myocarditis is scarce. To address this issue, we studied 13 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and allied conditions with a history of myocarditis and receiving mRNA-based vaccines. Data about general and cardiac laboratory tests, treatment, and disease status were collected during routine consultations before and after the primary vaccination course and after each vaccine dose administration, while myocarditis symptoms were closely monitored. A significant increase in troponin levels from baseline was found after 13 (6–20) days from the first (p = 0.046) and 17 (4–29) days after the second dose (p = 0.013). Troponin levels progressively decreased within 3 (1–6) months in the absence of typical symptoms or signs of myocarditis. A significant increase in the constitutional domain of the British Isles Lupus Assessment Group (BILAG) index (p = 0.046) was observed in SLE patients. However, no patient needed any treatment change. mRNA-based anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccines can apparently be safely administered to patients with SLE and lupus-like disorders with previous myocarditis despite potential subclinical and transient rises in cardiac damage markers.

Published: September 2022

Chromium (Cr) phytotoxicity severely inhibits plant growth and development which makes it a prerequisite to developing techniques that prevent Cr accumulation in food chains. However, little is explored related to the protective role of brassinosteroids (BRs) against Cr-induced stress in soybean plants. Herein, the morpho-physiological, biochemical, and molecular responses of soybean cultivars with/without foliar application of BRs under Cr toxicity were intensely investigated. Our outcomes deliberated that BRs application noticeably reduced Cr-induced phytotoxicity by lowering Cr uptake (37.7/43.63%), accumulation (63.92/81.73%), and translocation (26.23/38.14%) in XD-18/HD-19, plant tissues, respectively; besides, improved seed germination ratio, photosynthetic attributes, plant growth, and biomass, as well as prevented nutrient uptake inhibition under Cr stress, especially in HD-19 cultivar. Furthermore, BRs stimulated antioxidative defense systems, both enzymatic and non-enzymatic, the compartmentalization of ion chelation, diminished extra production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and electrolyte leakage in response to Cr-induced toxicity, specifically in HD-19. In addition, BRs improved Cr stress tolerance in soybean seedlings by regulating the expression of stress-related genes involved in Cr accumulation, and translocation. Inclusively, by considering the above-mentioned biomarkers, foliar spray of BRs might be considered an effective inhibitor of Cr-induced damages in soybean cultivars, even in Cr polluted soil.

Objectives: This study assessed the associations between parent intent to have their child receive the COVID-19 vaccination, and demographic factors and various child activities, including attendance at in-person education or childcare. Methods: Persons undergoing COVID-19 testing residing in Minnesota and Los Angeles County, California with children aged <12 years completed anonymous internet-based surveys between 10 May and 6 September 2021 to assess factors associated with intention to vaccinate their child. Factors influencing the parents’ decision to have their child attend in-person school or childcare were examined. Estimated adjusted odds rations (AORs, 95% CI) were computed between parents’ intentions regarding children’s COVID-19 vaccination and participation in school and extra-curricular activities using multinomial logistic regression. Results: Compared to parents intending to vaccinate their children (n = 4686 [77.2%]), those undecided (n = 874 [14.4%]) or without intention to vaccinate (n = 508 [8.4%]) tended to be younger, non-White, less educated, and themselves not vaccinated against COVID-19. Their children more commonly participated in sports (aOR:1.51 1.17–1.95) and in-person faith or community activities (aOR:4.71 3.62–6.11). A greater proportion of parents without intention to vaccinate (52.5%) indicated that they required no more information to make their decision in comparison to undecided parents (13.2%). They further indicated that additional information regarding vaccine safety and effectiveness would influence their decision. COVID-19 mitigation measures were the most common factors influencing parents’ decision to have their child attend in-person class or childcare. Conclusions: Several demographic and socioeconomic factors are associated with parents’ decision whether to vaccinate their <12-year-old children for COVID-19. Child participation in in-person activities was associated with parents’ intentions not to vaccinate. Tailored communications may be useful to inform parents’ decisions regarding the safety and effectiveness of vaccination.

Published: September 2022

Yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarının en önemlilerinden biri olan fotovoltaik (PV) santraller neredeyse sıfıra yakın olan zararlı çevresel etkisi ve nispeten kolay kurulumları nedeniyle, ülkemizin güneş potansiyeli de göz önünde bulundurulduğunda temiz enerji anlamında büyük fırsatlar sağlamaktadır. Ayrıca Yenilenebilir Enerji Kaynakları Destekleme Mekanizması (YEKDEM) kapsamında sunulan devlet destekleri yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarının ekonomiye kazandırılması yönünde büyük fırsatlar sunmaktadır. Ülkemiz Cumhurbaşkanlığı yıllık programında yaptığı projeksiyona göre 2022 yılında güneş enerji santrallerinden üretilen elektrik miktarında 1000 MW artış beklenmektedir. Ayrıca güneş enerjisiyle üretilen elektriğin toplam üretim içerisindeki payının %8,5 olması öngörülmektedir. Bu çalışmada; 1MWp kapasiteye sahip çatı tipi, şebekeye bağlı dağıtık güneş enerji santralinin tasarımı ve simülasyon uygulaması PVsyst programı aracılığıyla sunulmuştur. Yapılan çalışmada panel eğimi, doğru PV modül ve inverter seçiminin son derece önemli olduğu görülmüştür. Yıllık şebekeye verilebilecek enerji miktarı 1246 MWh olarak elde edilmiştir. Yapılan simülasyon çalışmalarında eşdeğer enerji üretimine sahip bir elektrik santraline nazaran kurulan böyle bir tesisin 14000 ton 〖Co〗_2 salınımı yapmayarak iklim değişikliği etkisine olumlu katkı sunacağı vurgulanmıştır. Yeni kurulacak böyle bir tesisten ilk on yıllık süre boyunca yerli katkı ile birlikte sabit ücretle alım garantisiyle 4.485.600 ₺ gelir elde edilebileceği görülmüştür. Santralin ömrünün 25 yıl olacağı düşünüldüğündeyse YEKDEM destekleri olmasa bile tesis yatırımının son derece avantajlı olacağı söylenebilir.

Published: September 2022

In Nigeria, most farmers depend on rain fed crops while most of the vegetable crops that are needed all year round are raised through irrigation systems. Such crops as onions, pepper, carrots, cabbage, etc are said to be suitably raised by irrigation only in northern part of Nigeria having semi humid climate, hence don’t perform well in the middle belt region with humid climates like Nasarawa state. An irrigational experiment was carried out to compare the biosphysical performance of a vegetable crop (cucumber-cucumissativas) using surface and drip irrigation, under Nasarawa South humid climate. Cucumber was planted in a rain fed plot and studied during raining season which served as control. Agronomic parametres of leaves (major and minor diameters), height and fruits produced were recorded and compared with the results from surface and drip irrigated plot during dry season. The drip irrigated crops produced 217 leaves followed by rain fed plot with 210 leaves and surface irrigated with 182 leaves. Rain fed plot had a mean height of 81cm followed by drip irrigated with 67.4cm and surfaced irrigated with 54.89cm. Fruit yield was highest in rain fed plot with 240 fruits at end of harvest, followed by drip irrigated plot with 192 fruits and surfaced irrigated plot with 144 fruits. From these results, it is recommended that some vegetable crops can perform and produce better through irrigation farming under humid climates of Nasarawa state

Snails of the Achatina achatina species were collected at the markets of Daloa. Specifically, it was about identifying the species of parasites encountered at each collection site and their prevalence, then informing the intensity of infestation of each specie of parasites from the freshly emitted faeces. The flotation method that was used yielded the following results: On all three sites, the results showed the presence of larvae and eggs of Strongyloides sp, larvae of Rhabditis sp, and larvae of Harpacticoida sp . The parasite prevalences recorded are respectively 48.9% of Strongyloides sp larvae, 20% for Rhabditis sp and 31.1% for Harpacticoida sp. These results showed that the identified parasites can be transmitted to humans through snails.

Authors: Suryatmana Pujawati , Setiawati Mieke Rochimi
Published: September 2022

Biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons in a land-treatment bioremediation system requires an effective degrading microbes and optimum system conditions. The study aimed to obtain the characteristics of the interaction between the petrophylic consortium (Pseudomonas sp. and Aspergillus sp.) and the amendment of chicken manure and to obtain the optimum dose to increase the biodegradation rate of petroleum hydrocarbons, soil pH change, and increased the population petrophylic fungi. The experiment was carried out on a greenhouse scale, using a factorial randomized block design (RBD) with two factors and three replications. The first factor was the inoculation of the petrophylic consortium consisting of: (i) without Petrophylic, (ii) 1% Petrophylic, (iii) 3% Petrophylic, (iv) 5% Petrophylic. The second factor was the amendment of chicken manure, consisting of 3 levels: (i) without chicken manure, (ii) 2% chicken manure, and (iii) 4% chicken manure. The results showed that petrophylic consortium inoculation and chicken manure amendment did not show an interaction effect on increasing the rate of biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons, soil pH, and increasing the population of petrophylic fungi. Likewise, the effect of independent treatment could not increase the biodegradation rate and soil pH.But, the application of chicken manure increased growth of the petrophylic fungus population during the 4-week incubation time. However, increasing Petrophylic fungi population density did not show increasing in degrading petroleum hydrocarbons. The dose of chicken manure used has not been able to supply N and P nutrients to achieve optimal C: N: P ratio conditions for degrading hydrocarbons effectively, resulting the inoculated petrophylic could not degrade hydrocarbons maximally. Compatibility between consortium microbes members as a hydrocarbon-degrading agent is an important factor for achieving effectively bioremediation performance.

The purpose of the study was to determine the concentration of Azolla pinnata-based biofertilizer that could produce the best results against Azotobacter sp. population, N-uptake, pH, and yield of pakcoy plant. The research was carried out at the experimental garden, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Padjadjaran, Jatinangor, West Java. The research design used in the experiment was a Randomized Block Design (RBD) which consisted of thirteen treatments, namely: control (without the application of Azolla biofertilizer), Azollabased biofertilizer with a concentration of 5 ml L-1, 10 ml L-1, 15 ml L-1, 20 ml L-1, each concentration treatment was combined with 3 application times, namely 1, 2, and 3 times. The experimental results showed that the treatment of Azolla-based biofertilizer with a concentration of 10 ml L-1 with 2 times applications increased the N-uptake, pH, and yield of pakcoy plants 184 g of fresh weight pakcoy/polybag. The population of Azotobacter sp. was not affected by the application of Azolla pinnata-based biofertilizer.

This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of dietary supplementation of Aloe vera gel on production performance, dressing yield and hematological parameters of sonali chicken. Methods: A total number of 180 day old chicks were randomly assigned into five treatment groups namely (T0, T1, T2, T3 and T4) having three replication in each treatment group. Chicks were brooded upto 7 days then randomly separated into pen upto 8 weeks. Each treatment group contains 36 birds whereas each replication contain 12 birds. Experimental birds in T2, T3 and T4 were provided aloe vera gel @ 7.5,15, and 22.5 gm per litre drinking water while T0 was provided only plain water and T1 provided 1ml amino plus per litre water those were maintained as control group. Results: The study indicated that final live weight gain and feed efficiency of birds was significantly (p<0.05) higher that received @22.5gm/L aloe vera gel compared to control T0 while insignificant in commercial growth promoter group. This result also indicated that body weight gain, feed intake and feed efficiency were increased along with increasing dose of aloe vera gel. In meat yield parameters there were no significant difference among the treatment group except breast meat weight. Blood parameters (RBC, PCV, Hb and Total WBC) showed significant (p<0.05) difference among the treatment groups except the total white blood cells (WBC) count. Aloe vera treated group T4 showed the lowest feed cost while untreated group showed the highest price.

Soybean JS-335 was treated with 200, 250 and 300 Gy doses of gamma rays to study the variability in M2 for the qualitative and quantitative traits. The experiment was conducted in the experimental farm of Samarth Agriculture College Deulgaon Raja, Buldana during kharif and rabi 2017-18. The treated material along with untreated control planted in M1 generation and individual plants were harvested separately. Harvested seeds of individual plants from M1 generation were planted in non-replicated field trial to rise M2 generation. Observations were recorded on different yield attributing characters like days to flowering, days to maturity, plant height, number of branches plant-1, length of primary root, number of pods plant-1, 100 seed weight and grain yield plant-1. In M2 generation days to flowering and days to maturity increased significantly in all the treatments. Plant height, number of branches plant and length of primary root reduced significantly in all the treatments. Number of pods plant-1 and grain yield plant significantly increased in all the treatments and 100 seed weight significantly decreased in all the treatments as compared to control. The economical and morphological mutants were isolated from the variety of JS-335.

The aim of this work is studying the correlation between seasonal variations of physiological condition indices, as physiological state and growth indicator, and biomarkers of pollution (Acetylcholinesterase, Glutathione S-transferase, Catalase, Malondialdehyde and Metallothioneins) in Mytilus galloprovincialis in three sites representative of Sidi Ifni’s coastline (South Atlantic of Morocco): Mirleft site (S1), Cheikh Sidi Ali Ifni (S2) and Tazrout site (S3). The study showed a pronounced variability in the biological and physiological behavior of mussel populations from Sidi Ifni coasts. The comparison of the results of physiological condition indices in Mytilus galloprovincialis with environmental factors and biochemical markers shows that the species is contaminated in the Ifni site compared to Mirleft and Tazrout.

Introducción: la malnutrición hospitalaria representa un problema de salud global. Esta se asocia con aumento de complicaciones, morbimortalidad, días de estancia hospitalaria e incremento de costos. El nutritionDay (nDay) es un proyecto creado para luchar contra la malnutrición hospitalaria, que consta de una auditoría que se realiza simultáneamente en todos los países participantes en un solo día, utilizando cuestionarios estándares que generan un informe nacional. Objetivo: identificar el estado nutricional de los pacientes mayores de 7 años hospitalizados y las características del aporte de nutrientes a través de la ejecución del nutritionDay. Métodos: análisis descriptivo de los datos obtenidos del nDay del 2019 realizado en el Hospital Docente del austro ecuatoriano. Resultados: de los 70 pacientes encuestados (media: 45 años de edad), 16 (22,9 %) presentaban sobrepeso y 14 (20 %) obesidad. En cuanto a las características del soporte nutricional, encontramos que solo al 27 % de los pacientes se le determinaron los requerimientos calóricos y se le registraron los datos de ingesta en la historia clínica. Un 37 % de pacientes recibió nutrición parenteral. Más de la mitad de los pacientes (60 %) mostró cierto grado de satisfacción con la comida entregada. Las causas principales de falta de ingesta alimentaria fueron “porque no les gustó” (10 %) y “poco apetito” (7 %). Conclusión: la malnutrición por exceso fue la más prevalente. Aproximadamente solo en la cuarta parte de la muestra se calcularon los requerimientos calóricos. Estos resultados destacan que es imperativo mejorar el tamizaje y el tratamiento nutricional de los pacientes hospitalizados. Palabras clave: malnutrición, terapia nutricional, diagnóstico nutricional, malnutrición hospitalaria.

PECULIARITIES OF THE RUSSIAN - ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF THE DESCRIPTION OF NATURE IN A LITERARY TEXT (BASED ON A.P. CHEKHOV’s STORIES)
Authors: Golubkova O.N.
Published: September 2022

The article discusses the features of the transfer of elements of nature descriptions in the texts of A.P. Chekhov when translated into English. In the course of study, the ways of translating nouns that make up the thematic group of words “nature” are analysed. The choice of the translation option is explained by the coincidence or non-coincidence of the features of the meaning of the nature description elements in both languages. In case of coincidence of meanings of the analysed lexical units in the Russian and English languages, the equivalent is used in the translation, and if the features of the meanings don’t coincide, variant correspondences are used. The article analyses personification as a leading figurative means, and concludes that the use of verbal elements in it is more frequent, and the strengthening of the personifying potential of the trope in translation occurs due to attributing the images nature, moon, earth to the feminine gender through the use of personal and possessive pronouns.
DISCOURSE STRATEGIES MARKERS IN A. CHEKHOV’s PLAYS “THREE SISTERS” AND “THE SEAGULL” AND WAYS OF TRANSLATION INTO PORTUGUESE
Authors: Gurevich D.L.
Published: September 2022

A. Chekhov’s plays “Three sisters” and “The Seagull” are characterized by at least one linguistic innovation: the speech of the characters is as close as possible to colloquial speech, typical for educated people. The absence of a traditional plot and the characters’ vivid and natural, “non-theatrical” speech provide for the conventional, spoken stylistic coloring of the text. However, the spoken Russian discourse, in contrast to its artificial literary imitation, has a wide range of pragmatic means that specify the discourse strategies of speakers. For example, in Russian, unlike in Brazilian Portuguese, the speaker often presupposes some part of the information without explicitly articulating it by lexically determined means, and in this way one marks his or her actual discourse strategy. By using non-descriptive lexis one can also form implicit value judgements or mark the involvement in some actions on the part of their non-participants. Such lexical means are usually language-specific, which makes their translation a really intricate task (if possible at all), which results in discrepancies between the original text and its translations. This fact by no means undermines the translator’s mission; it just highlights the difference in discourse structuring patterns that exist in different languages.
