Authors: Belikova M. Ya.
Published: April 2019

Purpose of the study:optimization of the technique and study of the possibilities of perfusion computed tomography (PCT) in assessing the functional state of the pancreatic parenchyma in normal conditions.Materials and methods.PCT was performed in 30 patients with a lack of history and clinical and laboratory data indicating the presence of pancreatic disease, which were examined for other pathological conditions. Using the standard protocol and the deconvolution method, a quantitative assessment of the average perfusion indices in the head, body and tail of the pancreas was performed, and a qualitative analysis of the state of its parenchyma on color parametric maps.Results.The pancreas is an organ with high blood flow rates (BF 136±6,74 ml/100 g/min), blood volume (BF 16,6±0,67 ml/100 g/min), characterized by bright red staining on the corresponding parametric maps. The pancreas is characterized by average values of the average transit time of the contrast agent (MTT 10,25±0,47 s) and the time to maximum tissue density (TTP 17,3±0,6 s), green parenchyma staining on the corresponding parametric maps, low permeability of the capillary walls (PS 3,5±0,72 ml/100 g/min) and blue staining on the permeability map. No statistically significant difference in the average values of perfusion indices in the head, body and tail of the pancreas and the dependence of perfusion parameters on the age of the patients was revealed. Conclusion PCT is an informative method of quantitative and qualitative assessment of the functional state of the pancreatic parenchyma.

The relevance of developing an intelligent automated diagnostic system (IADS) for lung cancer (LC) detection stems from the social significance of this disease and its leading position among all cancer diseases. Theoretically, the use of IADS is possible at a stage of screening as well as at a stage of adjusted diagnosis of LC. The recent approaches to training the IADS do not take into account the clinical and radiological classification as well as peculiarities of the LC clinical forms, which are used by the medical community. This defines difficulties and obstacles of using the available IADS. The authors are of the opinion that the closeness of a developed IADS to the «doctor’s logic» contributes to a better reproducibility and interpretability of the IADS usage results. Most IADS described in the literature have been developed on the basis of neural networks, which have several disadvantages that affect reproducibility when using the system. This paper proposes a composite algorithm using machine learning methods such as Deep Forest and Siamese neural network, which can be regarded as a more efficient approach for dealing with a small amount of training data and optimal from the reproducibility point of view. The open datasets used for training IADS include annotated objects which in some cases are not confirmed morphologically. The paper provides a description of the LIRA dataset developed by using the diagnostic results of St. Petersburg Clinical Research Center of Specialized Types of Medical Care (Oncology), which includes only computed tomograms of patients with the verified diagnosis. The paper considers stages of the machine learning process on the basis of the shape features, of the internal structure features as well as a new developed system of differential diagnosis of LC based on the Siamese neural networks. A new approach to the feature dimension reduction is also presented in the paper, which aims more efficient and faster learning of the system.
ULTRASOUND STANDARDS FOR ANTENATAL FETAL DEATH
Authors: Bezhenar V. F. , Ivanova L. A. , Belitchenko N. V.
Published: April 2019

Antenatal death is the cessation of fetal heart contractions during pregnancy for more than 22 weeks prior to the onset of labor. Objective: to evaluate the capabilities of the method of ultrasound in antenatal fetal death. Tasks of ultrasound in the presence of a dead fetus: a statement of his death; determining the position, presentation, size, estimated fetal weight and gestational age; detection of congenital malformations (CM) and possible causes of death; clarification of the statute of limitations of death. We have analyzed 126 standard ultrasound protocols of pregnant women with antenatal fetal death. Ascertaining the cessation of heart contractions and determining the location of the fetus present no difficulties for the ultrasound doctor. The assessment of the conformity of the size of the fetus to the gestational period during antenatal death is better determined by measuring the diaphysis of the long bones. Head sizes are used only when it is possible to clearly assess the typical structures of a biparietal slice. The determination of the estimated mass of the fetus is difficult due to autolytic changes and, usually, lack of water. The diagnosis of CM, first established after ascertaining antenatal fetal death, should cause the doctor to doubt that it is in front of us — a developmental defect, as a possible cause of intrauterine death or post-mortem changes that depend on previous intravital changes, cause and duration of death. The article describes the dynamics of the appearance of post-mortem changes. Conclusions: with antenatal fetal death, it is impractical to determine the expected mass of the fetus, it is preferable to estimate the period of probable cessation of development from the measurement of long tubular bones; during an ultrasound of the deceased fetus, it is often impossible to reliably determine the presence/absence of CM and the exact time of death; change in the amount of amniotic fluid is not a reliable diagnostic criterion for the duration of death.
The Emergence of Choreographic Material in 'Silent Pact' (2018)
Authors: Paula Guzzanti
Published: April 2019

About
This exposition presents the documentation of the choreographic material of my performance piece 'Silent Pact' (2018).
This work is a collaboration with voice artist Una Lee.

This Exposition Includes:
1) Visual Essay (10 mins)
2) Photographic Documentation (2 images)
3) My mother's original letter (English version)
4) My mother's poem entitled 'Silent Pact' (English version)
5) Soundtrack version of the screen dance.
6) Essay 'On the Emergence of Choreographic Material in Silent Pact' (forthcoming publication in the Journal Corpografias)
7) GIFs of Choreographic Material Becoming (5 gifs)
8) Screendance 'Silent Pact' (2018)

Background to the work
The performance evolves from re-visiting an intimate affective trace –a letter from my mother– through dance improvisation and performance-making practice. In June 2015, I received a letter from my mother together with a poem entitled Silent Pact (28/06/1981-28/09/1981). The letter tells the story of my mother having to keep me in secret, as she got pregnant three months before her church wedding. I discover that my real birthday is three months earlier than what I had been celebrating all my life. In 2018, I am commissioned to create a piece as part of the International Women’s Day celebrations in Belfast; the theme was women’s silent voices. After considering various stories of women’s that were close to me, I remember my mother’s letter. This is what choreographer-dancer Silvy Panet-Raymond pointed to me as a ‘radical practice’ . Although I don’t consider myself exploring radical ways of creating performance, it was interesting for me to note that in this work the movement vocabulary contrasts dramatically with the movement in a series of pieces that share the same research focus – the affects of dance improvisation. In Silent Pact, there is a clear moving away from stylish vocabulary, I achieve a strong presence in a performance charged with emotional nuances and textures.
I chose this work for discussing the emergence of choreographic material as I found that the resulting choreographic material emerged from a particular set of conditions that was a move towards defining my artistic signature.
Circular microchannels inside bulk polymethylmethacrylate generated by femtosecond laser using slit beam shaping
Authors: Roth Gian-Luca , Esen Cemal , Hellmann Ralf
Published: April 2019

The authors report on the laser generation of three-dimensional microchannel architectures with fundamentally unlimited channel length by focused 514 nm femtosecond laser pulses inside polymethylmethacrylate bulk material. The three-dimensional channel layout is implemented by moving the specimen using three-dimensional motorized stages, allowing freely chosen complex shaped channel architectures. Based on nonlinear absorption of high intensities around the focal volume, a material modification, including a refractive-index shift is triggered. After laser exposure, the channel is created by a gaseous degradation of exposed areas during an annealing process. Cross section and aspect ratio of thus generated microchannels are strongly influenced by the numerical aperture of the applied objective. To obtain a circular cross-sectional shape, high focusing objectives are necessary. In this report, the authors improve the existing setup by using an elliptical input beam, transforming the intensity distribution of the focal area in the propagation direction to a circular shape even for low and medium numerical aperture focusing objectives and therefore avoiding a small working distance as a limiting factor for processing depth. The elliptical input beam is obtained by insertion of a slit mask in front of the focusing objective. The ellipticity of the incident beam defines the aspect ratio of the generated microchannels. Furthermore, the size of internal microchannels is adjustable by varying laser and annealing process parameters.

Student muckrakers: Applying lessons from non-profit investigative reporting in the US
Authors: Birnbauer Bill
Published: April 2019

Drawing on the growth of non-profit investigative reporting centres in the United States, many of which are located in universities, this article proposes the creation of an Australia-New Zealand-Pacific network of university journalism students who collaborate to produce multi-media stories for a website. Tentatively called ‘UniMuckraker’, the project envisages that teaching with the ‘live ammunition’ of real journalism would provide an authentic, contextual and team-oriented approach to higher education learning experiences as well as producing quality journalistic content. In conceptualising the model, the article first examines contemporary trends in American investigative reporting with a focus on the increasing number and influence of non-profit centres that have been created following mass layoffs of journalists and closures in the established press. It finds a new willingness by mainstream media to collaborate with highly-specialised non-profit ‘factories’ that produce investigative stories but notes that the editor/publisher distinction is blurred further in the non-commercial model and that questions have been raised about the motives of the philanthropic funders of non-commercial investigative reporting.
Peace journalism: A paradigm shift in traditional media approach
Authors: Aslam Rukhsana
Published: April 2019

Power, politics and profit have been the key factors in determining the media’s traditional approach towards conflict. But in recent decades, the debate on ‘peace journalism’ as an approach to conflict has gained momentum and several scholars (Galtung, 1973; Lynch, 2005; Bell, 1998; Howard, 2003; Allan, 2007; Keeble, 2010) have argued in favour of the concept. However, many questions pertaining to the extent of effectiveness of peace journalism and its application to other forms of media remain unanswered. This article is an attempt to explore answers to these questions. It argues that there is a beginning of a paradigm shift in the traditional media’s approach to conflict situations. While peace journalism was been linked with conflict resolution and advocacy, there is now greater acceptance of it as an attitude that frames a news story. There are also examples to show that it is being applied to other media such as photojournalism, documentary making, film production, investigative journalism, community and specialised media. At the same time, advocates and practitioners of peace journalism face several challenges as there is no universal standard to deal with conflicts.
SORTIR DU POSITIVISME EN ALLANT VERS L'ETHIQUE DE LA DISTINCTION
Authors: SARFATI Jean-Jacques
Published: April 2019

Ce texte propose de revisiter l'éthique sous l'angle d'un concept peu approfondi qui est la distinction. Qu'est-ce que nous entendons la distinction ? A l'heure où l'éthique semble drainer un ensemble de valeurs confuses et où sa demande paraît déceler un désaccord profond sur les éthos, il convient sans doute de revenir à l'approfondissement de ce concept de distinction. Celui-ci demeure une des clefs de la recherche personnelle que nous avons modestement entreprise depuis une trentaine d'années, d'abord comme juriste puis comme philosophe. La distinction est, selon l'approche que nous proposons, un médian entre la séparation et la confusion. Elle est ce qui permet de saisir des nuances de chaque entité quelle qu'elle soit. La saisine de ces nuances est essentielle pour trouver les médiations elles-mêmes vitales pour l'équilibre de tout être, pris à la fois au sens individuel ou-et collectif du terme. Elle est donc un des outils d'une éthique digne de ce nom mais aussi d'une philosophie qui recherche à mettre en évidence - sans idéalisme ni cynisme - une harmonie des profondeurs. Les médiations, toutes en nuance, assurent les ponts entre deux extrêmes qu'il ne s'agit pas de vouloir éradiquer mais qu'il faut plutôt chercher à distinguer afin d'éviter qu'ils nous écrasent tant ils parlent et hurlent fort. La distinction est donc le seul moyen de ne pas se laisse emporter par ce flot de bavardages insipides.
HUMOUR MECHANISMS IN TRANSLATING P. G. WODEHOUSE INTO ROMANIAN

Humour Mechanisms in Translation P.G. Wodehouse into Romanian. The aim of the present study is to analyse the Romanian translation of several instances of Wodehousian humour from the novels Thank You, Jeeves and Right Ho, Jeeves. We shall point to the humour mechanisms that may lead to the untranslatability of humour and to its being lost or destroyed during the translation process. However, this apparent untranslatability is not insurmountable, and humour can actually travel safely around the world.

Communication Event. In Information and Communication Sciences, the phrase “communication event” is not clearly defined. We situate the notion of communication event in a space where the actors, whether human or non-human, equally participate in the event through the use of language. A communication event is the effect of preliminary staging. In this article we study the notion of communication event exploring three films of the same film maker, each of them creating an event within an event.

DYSTOPIC RECONFIGURATIONS OF CORPORATE AMERICA: MARGARET ATWOOD’S “THE HEART GOES LAST”
Authors: KOSA Monika
Published: April 2019

Dystopic Reconfigurations of Corporate America: Margaret Atwood’s “The Heart Goes Last”. One of Margaret Atwood’s dystopic novels, The Heart Goes Last is an intricate examination of human nature, the precariousness of love, free will, the roots of social evil and the potential dangers of excessive institutional power. Grounded in an examination of Atwood’s text, this paper aims to analyze the techniques through which the image of “corporate America” is re-configured in a nightmarish setting where the fight for power, money and control negatively re-positions the ethical limits of humanity.
REZUMAT. Reconfigurări distopice ale Americii corporatiste în The Heart Goes Last de Margaret Atwood.

A STYLISTICS OF EXILED LIVES
Authors: PATRAS Roxana
Published: April 2019

A Stylistics of Exiled Lives. The article explores the correspondence between the particular stylistics of exiled lives (specific ways, manners, and forms of living developed during exile) and a specific critical method (para-biography). While all exiles can be perceived as people with underachieved destinies - exile is, in this case, comparable to premature death, lost works, imperfect style, sterility, etc. - the biographer who endeavors to “capture” the ways of the exiled should rely on a critical faculty fit to such uncompletedness, yet a faculty mostly uncommon to his own lot: imaginativeness or critical imagination. Such correspondence between the unique situation and the para-biography of the exiled has been suggested by Ilina Gregori’s books on three personalities (Mihai Eminescu, Emil Cioran and Matila Ghyka) who turned their own experience of exile into particular expressions.
REZUMAT. O stilistică a vieții în exil. Articolul explorează corespondența dintre particularitățile stilului vieții în exil (i.e. feluri și maniere de a trăi, forme de viață dezvoltate în perioada exilului) și o metodă critică specifică (para-biografia). Dacă figurile de exilați pot fi percepute sub specia destinului neîmplinit – exilul este, într-o traiectorie obișnuită, asimilabil unor accidente precum moartea prematură, opere pierdute, stil imperfect, sterilitate etc. – atunci biograful care încearcă să surprindă un mod e viață specific existenței în exil trebuie să activeze o facultate critică potrivită destinelor incomplete, în orice caz, mai puțin utilizată și întâlnită: capacitatea de imaginare sau imaginația critică. O astfel de corespondență între (situația) exilatului și para-biografie mi-a fost sugerată de ultimele volume semnate de Ilina Gregori și consacrate unor personalități care au transformat experiența exilului în expresii particulare: Mihai Eminescu, Emil Cioran și Matila Ghyka

With Constantin Noica, On Literature and Literary Criticism. This study analyses the views expressed by Constantin Noica in the articles he published on literature and literary criticism during the interwar period. Somewhat reserved towards the literary-artistic phenomenon in general, the philosopher proved nonetheless to be an avid critic, an excellent essayist and a brilliant polemicist. In fact, his entire work was to be appreciated, both by literary critics and by philosophers, for its literary qualities, at a time when philosophical discourse itself displayed a penchant for literariness.

De altfel, întreaga sa operă va fi apreciată, atât de criticii literari, cât şi de filosofi, pentru calităţile sale literare, într-un moment când discursul filosofic însuşi tinde a-şi asuma chipul literarităţii.

MAGNETOCALORIC EFFECT AND MAGNETIC PROPERTIES OF Pr₁₋ₓ Ceₓ Co₃ COMPOUNDS
Authors: SOUCA G. , IAMANDI S. , MAZILU C. , DUDRIC R. , TETEAN R.
Published: April 2019

Magnetic properties and magnetocaloric effect under moderate magnetic field in polycrystalline Pr1-xCexCo3 compounds with x = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4 are reported. The powder X-ray diffraction measurements show that all samples crystallize in the rhombohedral PuNi3-type structure (space group: R-3m), specific for PrCo3, with the lattice parameters decreasing with the cerium content. The magnetic measurements indicate a transition from a magnetic order state to a paramagnetic one below room temperature. The Curie temperature decreases roughly linear with the Ce concentration from 270 K for x = 0.1 to 146 K for x = 0.4. A moderate magnetocaloric effect was found for all samples, with the maximum entropy change located at temperatures near the magnetic transition ones.

En este trabajo buscamos exponer en qué sentido es totalmente plausible hablar del libre arbitrio de la voluntad en filosofía, contrario a lo que afirma Luis E. Hoyos. En primer lugar, revisamos el concepto de voluntad para ver cómo de su propio ser brota el libre arbitrio (pues no todo acto de la voluntad es libre, como se ve en el artículo). Pero también el libre arbitrio de la voluntad es limitado, y siguiendo a Rosmini indicamos algunos de estos límites.
El viraje epistemológico de Werner Heisenberg
Authors: Castellà Cid Josefa
Published: April 2019

El objetivo de este trabajo es estudiar la evolución de la perspectiva epistemológica que experimentó Heisenberg, evolución paralela a la que también experimentó Einstein. Así, Heisenberg fue influido por el segundo, en un principio como creador de la teoría especial de la relatividad y posteriormente como creador de la teoría general de la relatividad, y ambos, en sus inicios, fueron inspirados por los lemas del positivismo de Mach, aunque después se alejaron de esta corriente de pensamiento. Este viraje se presenta paralelo al giro que ambos físicos también realizaron en sus respectivos dominios de investigación y muestra la tensión que sufre el científico que pretende comprender el mundo y se encuentra ante el siguiente dilema: limitarse a los hechos observables o distanciarse para ver las relaciones formales que se dan entre ellos

La inmediatez de la muerte y su significado racional
Authors: Martí Sánchez Miguel
Published: April 2019

El presente artículo aclara la tesis de Fernando Inciarte según la cual la muerte en cuanto tal coloca al ser humano ante lo inmediato, es decir, más allá del horizonte que le abre su comprensión mundana. Esta inmediatez, dice Inciarte, es un indicio de que es razonable esperar algo más que la muerte, y por lo tanto que la razón no comete ningún crimen si se abre a la fe. Para contrastar esta idea se acude a la ayuda de la tradición filosófica, sobre todo, aunque no solo, a la fenomenología. A partir de la sucinta exposición de diferentes posturas sobre el morir y la muerte se elabora un discurso unitario sobre su significado para el ser humano. Se demuestra que la postura de Inciarte, lejos de conducir a un fideísmo, se basa más bien en argumentos racionales de validez contrastada.

Esta contribución ofrece un análisis del tratamiento de la experiencia de conflicto entre las pretensiones de realización de la libertad humana, de un lado, y el reconocimiento de la libertad divina y su poder respecto de la propia vida, de otro, así como de la naturaleza de su resolución tal y como los presenta Fernando Inciarte en dos de sus obras: Cultura y Verdad y La imaginación trascendental en la vida, en el arte y en la filosofía. La tesis principal es que la reconciliación entre ambas libertades es imposible en términos humanos y que, sin embargo, cierta forma de vivir orientada por el reconocimiento de esta misma imposibilidad abre al hombre a su resolución
La conciencia explicada desde la ciencia experimental. Método científico y subjetividad
Authors: Sánchez Tajadura Beatriz
Published: April 2019

El método científico se centra en estudiar lo objetivo, lo empírico, lo cuantificable. Pero a la hora de explicar la consciencia humana, el método científico es insuficiente. La consciencia es de naturaleza subjetiva, no objetiva. El lenguaje y el arte, en especial el literario, suponen una vía alternativa para comprender la subjetividad. El estudio del lenguaje es un punto de vista multidisciplinar que atiende no solo a la materia, como hace el método científico, sino también a la forma. Este artículo sugiere un punto de vista más amplio para estudiar la consciencia humana.
Sobre la importancia de lo vero-símil y de la imaginación en el mito platónico para la captación del mundo como imagen de las ideas
Authors: Inciarte Fernando
Published: April 2019

Este artículo se ocupa de las relaciones del intelecto filosófico con la verdad o las enseñanzas contenidas en la religión positiva. Para ello, centra, en un primer lugar, la atención en algunos textos platónicos en los que Sócrates revela su actitud respecto de lo religioso, especialmente en la Apolo-gía, Cratilo y Fedro. En un segundo momento, a partir de una lectura novedosa de algunos pasajes centrales del Sofista y del Timeo, se busca justificar el carácter autónomo y de auténtico conocimiento de la filosofía, en cuanto explicación de la realidad como imagen de las ideas. Ahí encuentra el autor la auténtica perspectiva desde la que el hombre puede acercarse al conocimiento del mundo y de las cosas divinas.

C. (Morphocarabus) rothi comptus Dejean 1831, is a endemic species of the Romania, appearing localized to some mountainous massifs of Romanian Banat and their piedmont areas (Poiana Rusca Mountains, Țarcu Mountains). Its presence in the Apuseni Mountains is doubtful, due to the lack of recent captures and to the confusion with C. (Morphocarabus) hampei diffinis Csiki 1905, morphologically like. In Banat the species occurs in two forms: szorenyensis Csiki 1908 at higher altitude (1300-2000 m) and ulrichhoffmanni Lie 1982 in hilly areas, which is distinguished by a larger size. Whatever the altitude and the ecological conditions, the period of activity is brief, spread over a month with a maximum of over two weeks. Molecular biology studies: confirm the belonging of comptus to rothi as a subspecies of her (28SRNA5 marker); suggest (concatenation COI I / cyt b) a low infra-specific variability between provenances of the szorenyensis (Rusca, Muntele Mic) and between the origins of the ulrichhoffmanni.
