MODELING OF THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF THE MELTS OF TERNARY Ge-Mn-Gd SYSTEM
Authors: Golovata N. , Kotova N. , Usenko N.
Published: July 2020

In the present work, the Gibbs energies of mixing of liquid alloys of the Ge-Mn-Gd ternary system were determined, which was made on the basis of an analysis of published data on the thermodynamic properties of liquid alloys of boundary binary systems that form the ternary Ge-Mn-Gd, as well as on the basis of the model calculations in these binary systems. To determine the activities of the components, the Gibbs energies of mixing, and the enthalpies of mixing of liquid alloys of the Ge-Mn(Gd) systems, for which alloying process is accompanied by significant heat release, an ideal associated solution model was applied. For the melts of the Mn-Gd system, which are characterized by rather insignificant exothermic effects, a model of regular solutions was used. The surface of the Gibbs energy of mixing for the alloys of the Ge-Mn-Gd ternary system has been determined on the basis of the concentration dependences of the Gibbs energies of mixing obtained for constituent binary systems under the assumption of additivity of pair interactions using the Redlich-Kister-Muggianu method. The obtained topology of the Gibbs energy isolines projections is compared with the thermochemical properties of liquid alloys of this system that we have determined earlier. A comparative analysis of the topology of these surfaces in the Ge-Mn-Gd system led to the conclusion that the surfaces of ΔG and ΔmH monotonically decrease from the manganese-rich angle of the diagram towards the Ge-Gd side of the concentration triangle. The minimum value of the thermodynamic characteristics of mixing of the ternary liquid alloys corresponds to the composition, which coincides with the composition of the most stable intermetallic compound in the Ge-Gd system. From the course of isolines of free energies and integral enthalpies of mixing, one can also conclude about the influence of a short-range order, existed in the Ge-Mn system near the composition with a mole fraction of mangan greater than 0.7, on the properties of ternary alloys in the vicinity of this composition. Thus, the topology of isolines and the large exothermic values of the obtained thermodynamic properties allow us to make a reasonable conclusion that the strong interaction between unlike components inherent in the Ge-Gd system in the solid state is also maintained for liquid alloys of the Ge-Mn-Gd system.
PROHIBITION, OBLIGATION OR RIGHT FOR A FORENSIC EXPERT TO INDEPENDENTLY COLLECT OBJECTS FOR RESEARCH
Authors: Dyakonova O. G.
Published: July 2020

Legislatively regulated prohibition for an expert to collect independently objects for research is enshrined in several procedural codes of countries the members of the Eurasian Economic Union. However, in practice, there are situations when an expert discovers objects (micro-objects) at an object submitted for expert research. The question is whether the expert must or should be able to fi x and collect the detected objects, notify the person or body that appointed the examination, or the prohibition continues to apply in this case. The answer to the question lies in the plane of expert’s recognition as the subject of proof or denial of such a possibility. The discussion that has unfolded among scientists has not yet been completed; the legislator has also not made a fi nal decision, prompting researchers to fi nd the best way. The analysis of the main points of view on this issue led to the conclusion that it is necessary to establish the obligation of the expert to notify the person (body) that appointed the examination about the detection of objects, to ensure their fi xation and to collect them in cases where this action is a part of an expert examination.

A rolling bearing fault diagnosis method based on fastDTW and an AGBDBN
Authors: Zhiwu Shang , Xia Liu , Wanxiang Li , Maosheng Gao , Yan Yu
Published: July 2020

In order to improve fault feature extraction and diagnosis for rolling bearings, a fault diagnosis method based on fast dynamic time warping (fastDTW) and an adaptive Gaussian-Bernoulli deep belief network (AGBDBN) is proposed in this paper. Firstly, for the non-stationary vibration
signal characteristics of the bearing, the fastDTW algorithm is used to calculate the residual vector of the fault signal, thereby enhancing the fault characteristic information. Then, according to the continuous vibration value of the bearing vibration signal, a standard deep belief network
(DBN) is improved to deal with the problem that the optimal setting for the learning rate is difficult to achieve in the deep neural network training process and the AGBDBN model is used for fault diagnosis. Finally, the proposed method is compared with a variety of model diagnosis methods.
The experimental results show that the proposed method achieved good diagnostic results.
Grenville Foreland Deformation and Sedimentation in Southwest Ohio Indicated by Reprocessed Seismic Reflection Profiles near Middletown, Ohio, USA
Authors: Peterman David J. , Hauser Ernest C. , Watts Doyle R.
Published: July 2020

The late Mesoproterozoic to early Neoproterozoic Middle Run Formation contains vital information about the crustal evolution of the North American Craton. Four reprocessed seismic reflection lines in the vicinity of the AK Steel facility in Middletown, Ohio, provide new insights into the structural and depositional setting of the Middle Run Formation in this region. A residual statics solution improved the resolution and coherency of reflections in these profiles that underlie the Cambrian Mount Simon Sandstone. Reprocessing revealed gently inclined, west-southwest-dipping reflectors and the occurrence of an angular unconformity between the Middle Run Formation and the overlying Paleozoic strata. The weak and discontinuous seismic reflection character of the Middle Run Formation in these seismic lines overlies a sequence of stronger parallel reflections that are like those observed on the eastward ODNR-1-88 seismic line located near core hole DGS 2627, the stratotype of the Middle Run Formation. This inferred thickness indicates that the basin in which the Middle Run Formation was deposited ranges from at least 670 to 1,128 m (2,200 to 3,700 ft) deep at the AK Steel area and dips gently west-southwest, which is in contrast with the moderate easterly dip observed on the ODNR-1-88 seismic line to the northeast. Correlation of these features across the 10 km (approximately 6 mi) cross-strike gap between the AK Steel lines and the ODNR-1-88 seismic line suggests the presence of a reverse fault with approximately 792 m (2,600 ft) of estimated vertical displacement. A regional cross section—including the WSU 1990 seismic line eastward of the ODNR-1-88 line—exhibits a faulted west-verging asymmetric syncline in near proximity to the Grenville Front. This cross section also shows that deformation of the Middle Run Formation and the underlying layered sequence exhibits a consistent tectonic style of reverse faulting and folding that developed in response to Grenville Front tectonism.

Published: July 2020

Background: Menstrual irregularities and abnormal heavy menstruation account for up to 26-35% of women attending Gynecological outpatient Department. Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (AUB), it is more common at extremes of age endometrial hyperplasia occurs in 5-10% of patients with post-menopausal bleeding out of which atypical hyperplasia has 26-32 % risk of having malignancy in future. Therefore, endometrial sampling for histopathology is important in the assessment of abnormal uterine bleeding is mandatory. Our study was conductive to know the effectiveness of pipelle type devices, versus Dilatation and curettage in obtaining quality endometrial tissue for histopathological examination.Methods: The study was undertaken in Department of obstetrics and gynaecology along with department of Pathology at Rajarshi Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj, government medical college, Kolhapur after getting approval from the Hospital Committee on Clinical Research and Ethical Committee of the institution, during the period from October 2016 to March 2017 (six months). Total number of subjects included in study is Hundred after taking into consideration of inclusion and exclusion criteria.Results: The ease of doing procedure was much easier as compared to D&C and the Tissue sample obtained for histopathological examination were as par D&C. It was concluded that histopathology report was available in 92 of the 100 pipelle samples and 93 of 100 D&C samples. It was also, observed that increased endometrial thickness was not always associated with adequate tissue diagnosis.Conclusions: Pipelle is simple, affordable, patient friendly can be easily performed with minimal training, which can be performed in Outpatient Gynaecological Department. The diagnostic value and positive predictive value of Pipelle is at par with conventional D&C. So, pipelle can be recommended for all perimenopausal patients with AUB to rule out various, premalignant and malignant conditions of the endometrium.

Published: July 2020

Background: Malignancy of breast is the leading cause of cancer deaths in women. Molecular organisation of breast cancer is considered as better predictive factor for diagnosis and treatment. The present study was done with the aim to find out clinicopathological characterization and correlation of breast tumor with receptor status progesterone (PR), estrogen (ER) and human epidermal receptor protein-2/neu status (HER-2/neu).Methods: This was a prospective study done on 50 patients with breast carcinoma. The expression patterns of PR, ER and HER-2/NEU were studied. Clinical features, pathologic features such as age of the patient, tumour size, grade, and lymph node status and their correlation with receptors were compared.Results: Of the 50 patients, ER positivity was seen in 42% cases, PR positivity in 32% and HER-2/neu (3+) in 30% cases. Majority of grade I tumors were ER and PR positive and majority of grade III tumors were triple negative. Triple negative profile was seen in secretory carcinoma. ER, PR and HER2 status was not significantly associated with age of the patients and tumour size. The immunohistochemical types ER/PR +ve Her2neu +ve and ER/PR -ve Her2neu -ve are significantly related to grading of tumours.Conclusions: From the results, it was concluded that ER, PR and HER-2 status correlates well with histopathological grading. These results highlight the fact that molecular subtypes correlate with diagnosis and aid in targeted therapy.

Authors: Chowdhary Devendra , Maran Jyoti S. , Rajput Gaurav Singh
Published: July 2020

Background: Rectal prolapse is a pelvic floor disorder that can occur in men and women of all ages. It results in pain, bleeding per rectum, seepage, diarrhoea or constipation and a disabled quality of life. With the advent of twentieth century, perineal operative procedures have become more common. Perineal procedures though have lower morbidities but have higher recurrence rate and high incidence of post-operative constipation. Novel abdominal approaches to rectal prolapse repair also became common during the first half of this century. Numerous types of surgical procedures have been attempted. Most techniques developed till now have some advantages and some short comings. CT Speakman and Pollen et al have shown in their studies   that division of lateral ligaments caused new onset constipation and they attributed this effect to denervation of rectum. As the issue of recurrence and post-operative constipation remained unsettled.Methods: This was an observational study to assess the incidence of recurrence and post-operative constipation in patients of rectal prolapse. In well selected patients, we performed complete rectal mobilization with division   of lateral ligaments. We assessed the patients on the basis of Clevland clinical constipation scoring system.Results: Out of 25 patients, 4 patients developed constipation, 2 had mild and 2 had moderate constipation and 2 patients had recurrence. Patients were kept under six monthly follow-up till a period of eighteen months.Conclusions: Only rectal mobilization with division of lateral ligaments can be a good surgical option in patients of rectal prolapse not having severe constipation.

Authors: Mishra Atul
Published: July 2020

Background: Urethroplasty for hypospadias is a difficult surgery in the best of hands. One stage surgery is usually preferred for its multiple benefits. Many techniques exist each with its own merits and demerits. Aim of the study was to compare different techniques in hypospadias surgery with special emphasis on transverse prepucial onlay island flap urethroplasty.Methods: All children operated for hypospadias from the period of 2016-2019 in Department of Surgery at Geetanjali Medical College and Hospital, Udaipur were included in the group after obtained approval from institutional ethical clearance commitee. The technique to be used was decided on a case to case basis depending mainly on the position of the meatus, size of the urethral plate and chordee (ventral curvature). All patients were analyzed for various complications and overall success rate.Results: 77 patients were operated and analyzed.  Overall the study could not establish the superiority of one technique above another. At the same time it establishes the versatility, satisfactory results and low complication rate of transverse prepucial onlay island flap (TPOIF) in different types of hypospadias.Conclusions: Success in urethroplasty depends on proper case selection, meticulous technique, a buttressing layer wherever possible and that TPOIF is a versatile technique for single stage hypospadias repair in distal, mid and proximal penile hypospadias.

Paul’s Resurrection in I Corinthians 15:33-54 in Contradistinction to Reincarnation in Igbo Cosmology
Authors: Mbachi Valentine Chukwujekwu
Published: July 2020

This article examines Paul’s concept of resurrection in 1 Corinthians 15:33-54 in contradistinction to reincarnation in Igbo cosmology. The approach has been analytical or qualitative. The historical-critical method and contextual tools are used in the interpretation of the Bible text. Paul sees resurrection as a miracle, a one-time event that is not repetitive, with a body that is not only in continuity with the original body but also new, transformed and glorious and is not subject to earthly limitations. These stand in sharp contrast to Igbo cosmological notions of reincarnation where the phenomenon is a natural process, repetitive, non-identical with the former body and where the new body is subject to all the earthly limitations. Reincarnation in Igbo cosmology runs contrary to the teachings of the Scriptures. This therefore has theological implications for Christian ministry for the Church in Igboland.
Africans in America: Ghanaians in Dallas, an Illustration and Study of the Impact of Roots, Ritual, and Religion
Authors: Kincaid Erin Clark
Published: July 2020

The Ghanaian community of Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas, demonstrates the human expressions of meaning in historical connections, dignity and honor, and religious/spiritual and ethical living. My ethnographic research in this community explored their worldview, patterns of behavior, and rituals. Unknown genealogies, the lack of roots, lack of spiritual and moral compass, and absence of a healthy family system/structure all have a devastating and adverse effect on a community.  But these are not present in the Ghanaian community of North Texas. This is an example of a community that has overcome adverse experiences by creating social structures and living out Christian beliefs and practices that contrast with these negative elements. I provide here a glimpse into a group that has faced hardships such as life transition, migration, oppression, and economic difficulties . . . and overcome.

Published: July 2020

The emergence of resistance against commonly used antibiotics has become a serious global concern. The rapid development of antibiotic resistance exhibited by Enterobacteriaceae has caused an increasing concern regarding untreatable bacterial infections. Here, we isolated four pathogens from a geriatric female patient who was hospitalized for a month with ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) and fever. The organisms isolated from the tracheal aspirates and urine included Klebsiella pneumoniae, pandrug-resistant Providencia rettgeri, and Acinetobacter baumannii. Resistome analysis indicated that the bacterial isolates from the polymicrobial infection were multiple-drug resitnat and pandrug resistant clones. Molecular characterization revealed presence of blaTEM-1 in K. pneumonaie, P. rettgeri and A. baumannii. The blaTEM-1 and blaNDM-1 genes were present in P. rettgeri and A. baumannii, whereas the blaTEM-1, blaNDM-1 and blaOXA-23 traits were present in A. baumannii isolates. The patient has died due to the unavailability of effective antimicrobial treatment for this drug-resistant polymicrobial infection.

Authors: S Amalasofiah , C Preethi
Published: July 2020

A traditional yagi antenna is used for broadband applications. A New Metamaterial Printed Microstrip Yagi -Array Antenna has been introduced here. This antenna is found to operate at 2.4GHz. The microstrip yagi-array antenna is loaded with artificial split ring resonators (SRRs) which is used for achieving the metamaterial effect in the structure. The overall circuit size of the designed antenna is 11.5*11.5*0.25mm3 with reduced cross polarization and the substrate used is FR4 epoxy with dielectric constant 4.4 which is readily available. The designed antenna achieved about 4dB of gain and it also achieved a high directional characteristic of 5-9dB in the operating band. The designed antenna had a minimum return loss of about -8dB. The achievement of narrowband width for ISM band application enhances the efficiency of the antenna at the specified band and reduces the interference level.
SOFT ALMOST β-CONTINUITY IN SOFT TOPOLOGICAL SPACES
Authors: Singh Rajput Alpa , S. Thakur S. , Dubey Om Prakash
Published: July 2020

Purpose: In the present paper the concept of soft almost β-continuous mappings and soft almost β-open mappings in soft topological spaces have been introduced and studied. Methodology: This notion is weaker than both soft almost pre-continuous mappings, soft almost semi-continuous mapping. The diagrams of implication among these soft classes of soft mappings have been established. Main Findings: We extend the concept of almost β-continuous mappings and almost β-open mappings in soft topology. Implications: Mapping is an important and major area of topology and it can give many relationships between other scientific areas and mathematical models. This notion captures the idea of hanging-togetherness of image elements in an object by assigning strength of connectedness to every possible path between every possible pair of image elements. It is an important tool for the designing of algorithms for image segmentation. The novelty of Study: Hope that the concepts and results established in this paper will help the researcher to enhance and promote the further study on soft topology to carry out a general framework for the development of information systems.

Authors: Mukattash Tareq L. , Jarab Anan S. , Mukattash Ibrahim , Nusair Mohammad B. , Abu Farha Rana , Bisharat May , Basheti Iman A.
Published: July 2020

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the content available on Facebook pharmacy groups in Jordan regarding the perception of the pharmacists’ role during the coronavirus pandemic in Jordan.

Methods: Researchers identified Facebook pharmacy groups through the search engine on the Facebook website. The main search keywords were pharmacy, pharmacist, pharmacists, and Jordan using both Arabic and English. Two researchers analyzed the posts and discussion threads on local pharmacy Facebook groups in a period between March 20th and April 3rd. A total of 184 posts and threads were identified for the purpose of the study.

Results: Identified threads and responses resulted in three overarching themes: pharmacists having a positive role during the pandemic, taking additional responsibilities and services, and having passive or negative roles. A positive role was seen in pharmacists acting as first-line healthcare providers, creating public’s awareness regarding COVID-19, and being responsible for chronic medication refill during the pandemic. Taking additional responsibilities was summarized in home deliveries and involvement in industrial and corporate efforts to deal with the pandemic. A passive/negative role was seen mostly among hospital pharmacists not being proactive during the pandemic and by pharmacists trying to maximize profits during pandemic time.

Conclusions: Pharmacists perceived their role as a positive role during the coronavirus pandemic. Not only they took responsibilities for their daily services during the crises, but they took additional responsibilities to assure patient safety and satisfaction.

El microscopio a contraste de fases en ginecología
Authors: Isaza Mejía Gustavo , Rodríguez R. Leonidas
Published: July 2020

Las bases del procedimiento a contraste de fases fueron definidas por Abbe y sus colaboradores, al final del siglo pasado; pero estas primeras tentativas quedaron en el olvido. Más tarde (1934), el físico holandés F. Zernike, emprendió las primeras investigaciones principalmente desde el punto de vista óptico. Luego Kohler y Loos pudieron determinar el principio del método y sus probables dominios en la biología y en la medicina.El progreso de la reproducción de objetos vivos con el procedimiento de Zernike, tiene la ventaja frente a los métodos usuales en que los detalles de un preparado pueden ser reconocidos no solo fieles al objetivo sino también con todos los elementos interiores de la célula. Los inconvenientes que ofrece el preparado teñido, causados inevitablemente por fijación y coloración, son eliminados.

Автор анализирует древнегреческие образцы цивилизации,  являющиеся до сих пор привлекательными, сохраняющими свое значение для современного общественного развития, выявляет роль таких исторических документов, как Билль о правах и Декларация прав человека и гражданина, показывает значение цифровой демократии для обеспечения более обдуманного и широкого участия населения в политической жизни. Цель исследования заключается в анализе идеала гражданина в разных социально-исторических условиях. Методы: контент-анализа (для системного извлечения информации из источников), анализа, синтеза, сравни­тельного исследования. Результаты. Понятие «идеальный гражданин» менялось в зависимости от конкретных политических, социальных и экономических условий, но при этом сохраняло общую основу. Еще в древние времена гражданин мог влиять на формирование власти этого государства и участвовать в его управлении. Идеальный гражданин всегда являлся активным участником политической и правовой жизни. Личная свобода всегда была обязательным условием для получения статуса гражданина. Идеальный гражданин был способен рассматривать свои права как обязанности и обязанности – как права. Можно выделить три основные позиции идеального гражданина: это нравственный человек; это тот, кто способен подняться до интересов всего обще­ства; это тот, который умеет не только властвовать, но и подчиняться. Подчеркивается важность обучения и воспитания молодого поколения таким образом, чтобы оно считало себя частью демократического общества, видело себя историческими действующими лицами, ответственными за будущее своей страны и человечества.

Рассматривается проблематика социально-психологической безопасности студентов, составляющей которой является эмоциональное благополучие. Психологическая безопасность проявляется в ощущении субъектом своей защищенности, референтной значимости среды для него и удовлетворенности процессами взаимодействия. Немаловажную роль здесь играет состояние эмоционального фона, эмоциональной осознанности субъекта, умение их выражать и осуществлять их регуляцию. Одним из условий обретения эмоционального благополучия выступает развитый эмоциональный интеллект. Сегодня он рассматривается как необходимый элемент, позволяющий владеть собой в различных ситуациях, эффективно налаживать и выстраивать отношения с другими субъектами деятельности, социализироваться в жизни. Это дает возможность обрести состояние уверенности, спокойствия и удовлетворения. Цель: оценить эффективность занятий по развитию эмоционального интеллекта студентов младших курсов, влияющих на формирование и/или поддержание эмоционального благополучия и социально-психологической безопасности. Методы: общетеоретические методы научного анализа, синтеза, моделирования; практические методы (качественное глубинное интервью; диагностический метод (опросник ЭмИн Д.В. Люсина, тест на определение уровня эмоционального интеллекта Н. Холла); экспериментальный метод для проведения констатирующих, формирующих и контрольных этапов исследования; методы математической статистики). Результаты: формирующая деятельность позволяет развивать эмоциональный интеллект, влияющий на поддержание достаточного уровня общего эмоционального благополучия студентов-первокурсников и ощущения социально-психологической безопасности личности.
Qualitative Research in EMDR Therapy: Exploring the Individual Experience of the How and Why
Authors: Marich Jamie , Dekker Danielle , Riley Mary , O'Brien Adam
Published: July 2020

This narrative literature review examines 12 eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy studies published in peer-reviewed journals that implement qualitative methodology other than case studies. Qualitative studies in the EMDR community and in mental health research can get overlooked because they are not perceived to be as scientific as quantitative studies. However, the presence of proper, systematic methodology in qualitative research can reveal another layer of important data about the how and why of EMDR therapy's impact. A variety of study types are reviewed (grounded theory, phenomenology, content and thematic analysis, and several other published forms) that offer evidence-based insight in six major areas of relevance to the EMDR community: the value of the therapeutic relationship and attunement, the role of EMDR therapy preparation and safety measures, the perceived impact of reprocessing phases, and insights for EMDR therapy training and implementation. The authors conclude that it is imperative that clinicians attend to the therapeutic relationship and provide adequate preparation. A discussion about clinical implementation and training EMDR therapists is also included, with suggestions made for advancing qualitative research in EMDR therapy.
Recovery, Interrupted: The Zeigarnik Effect in EMDR Therapy and the Adaptive Information Processing Model
Authors: Fox Jeremy G.
Published: July 2020

This theoretical article proposes that the Zeigarnik effect (ZE) (i.e., better memory for interrupted rather than completed tasks) explains the formation of traumatic memories as incomplete tasks. These tasks are thought to foster pathological rumination toward their completion while simultaneously stoking avoidance. After looking at the role of the ZE in the development and maintenance of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the article examines the physiological substrates of the ZE, including brain network imbalance, excessive autonomic nervous system activation, and prospective memory acuity for incomplete events. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is proposed as uniquely capable of providing closure to interrupted facets of traumatic recollection, as this treatment may facilitate greater memory reconsolidation and inhibition of Zeigarnik reminders than extinction-based models. The ZE may be implicated in the overall EMDR treatment effect, as it is activated in several EMDR phases. Specifically, the use of brief interrupted exposures during EMDR reprocessing may benefit from the ZE in resolving traumatic events. Eye movements themselves are also considered interruptions to rumination upon traumatic memory. Recommendations for the further use of the ZE are described, and suggestions are made for future research. Protocol modifications and interweaves which mobilize the preceding insights are also provided.

Stanisława Baczyńskiego teoria kryminału
Authors: Kajtoch Wojciech
Published: July 2020

Stanisław Baczyński (1890–1939), was the first Polish (and one of the first in Europe) literary critics to reflect on the popular genre of the criminal novel, and to look for the genesis and role of its transformation in social development. In the book Criminal Novel (1932), he points directly to the possibility of the novel’s influence on construction of a hero in social views and moods. There is a link between the development of a democratic state and a criminal novel. A popular novel can help a citizen adapt to a new reality, a less classy and more democratic one. Moreover, in a modern society it performs a catharsis function, “it is a cure and, at the same time, an entertainment”. Baczyński’s attitude towards the criminal novel was not Marxist, but it was the result of an avant-garde way of thinking, the result of the belief that a modern reality can be expressed in art only if the form of the artistic creation is changed. He believed that the artist who creates art of a new style fulfils a socially important task. Criminal fiction having a fast-paced plot, not very elaborate psychologism, and presenting the structures of a modern, democratic country, should make life eas-ier for its readers who live in the 20th century.
Debate on the merits of fantastic literature
Authors: Trębicki Grzegorz
Published: July 2020

The possible “value” of “fantastic” or non-mimetic literature has been the subject of an on-going debate. There is, obviously, the dispute between these critics (and academics) who regard non-mimetic literature to be inferior to truly “literary” mainstream fiction and deprived of “literary merit” and those who defend it. Additionally, within the proper field of “fantastic” literature criti-cism there exists an interesting, largely theoretical (but partly also ideological) argument about the merit of particular fantastic genres and cognitive modes that seem to be inherent to those genres. Finally, the status of particular works of fantastic fiction is often debated or questioned.The present paper attempts to initialize a comprehensive discussion on the merits of non-mi-metic (fantastic) literature. It summarizes the previous discourse on the subject and searches for the reasons of various discrepancies and confusion shrouding the field. It also undertakes to dem-onstrate that these discrepancies result primarily from different criteria applied, which are, in turn, determined not only by arbitrary tastes, but, first of all, by methodological, aesthetic, cognitive, and ideological approaches.The whole discussion will, hopefully, prepare the ground for an attempt to approximate poten-tial merits of the whole of non-mimetic fiction and analyze them initially from structural, cognitive, or cultural angles.
A detective in a world of illusions: Stereotypes and the narrative voice in Murder is Easy by Agatha Christi
Authors: Kokot Joanna
Published: July 2020

Already the sensational novel writers of the second half of the nineteenth century renounced the stereotypical image of peaceful and idyllic provincial life, dominating in English culture at the time. This stereotype is recalled in a number of Agatha Christie’s novels, where the seemingly quiet countryside occurs to be a scene of the crime. The object of analysis in the paper is Murder is Easy (1938), one of Christie’s novels where the action of is set in the country. The narration here is carried almost exclusively from the protagonist’s point of view, who imposes various stereotypes — literary and cultural — on the observed reality (among others that of the peaceful countryside, but also its more sinister counterpart — that of country witches). The stereotypes and the clash with reality re-sult in a more complex vision of the world than that which is proposed in classical detective fiction where the crime is merely an intellectual problem.
