National development has an impact on Life Expectancy (UHH) to increase which causes the elderly group (elderly) to also increase, giving positive and negative effects. The negative effect of this increase is the increasing number of cases of PTM (Non-Communicable Diseases) in the community, especially in the elderly. The indirect cause of PTM in the elderly is due to the lack of ability to access, obtain, process, and digest information and know the most basic sources of health information or commonly referred to as health literacy. The factors related to the health literacy of elderly PTM include age, gender, education, occupation, income, access to health services. Lack of health literacy has an impact on decreasing the ability of individuals to access available health information, thus potentially causing errors in digesting information on health services that are being undertaken, thus causing an increase in the severity of the disease and even complications. This study aims to analyze factors related to health literacy of non-communicable diseases. The research method used was observational explanatory research using a sample of 90 people aged 60 years with PTM and had visited the Pegandan Health Center. The results of the study the majority of respondents were elderly (55.6%), female (73.3%), basic education (58.9%), not working (68.9%), low income (70%), accessing level 1 health facilities (92.2%), and using BPJS (56.7%). The conclusion of this research is that education variable (p-value=0.0001) and payment method (p-value=0.002) are related to health literacy about PTM.

Published: August 2022

This study aims to synthesize a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent that can specifically target the asialoglycoprotein receptor of liver cancer cells and evaluate its ability as a targeted MRI contrast agent. Lactobionic acid (LA) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) were used to modify superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION) to obtain LA-PEG-SPION. LA-PEG-SPION was uniformly spherical under the electron microscope, with regular morphology and good dispersion. The particle size of LA-PEG-SPION was about 30 ± 4.5 nm, and its surface potential was about 31 ± 1.5 mV. LA-PEG-SPION had no toxicity or low toxicity to HepG2 cells and HeLa cells, even at 400 μg/mL. The uptake of LA-PEG-SPION by HepG2 cells was higher than that of SPION, with increased blue-stained particles. The fluorescent labeling rate of HepG2 cells reached 68.8%, which was higher than that of the control group. In vitro, MRI showed that the T2-weighted signal intensity of HepG2 cells was lower than that of the control group. Conclusively, LA-PEG-SPION nanoparticles are synthesized in a simple and efficient way. They are successfully applied to the T2-weighted contrast-enhanced MRI in liver cancer in vitro, and they have the potential to be used for in vivo research and clinical studies.
Bacteriospermia – A formidable player in male subfertility
Authors: Tvrdá Eva , Ďuračka Michal , Benko Filip , Lukáč Norbert
Published: August 2022

Bacterial colonization of male reproductive tissues, cells, and fluids, and the subsequent impact of bacteria on the sperm architecture, activity, and fertilizing potential, has recently gained increased attention from the medical and scientific community. Current evidence strongly emphasizes the fact that the presence of bacteria in semen may have dire consequences on the resulting male fertility. Nevertheless, the molecular basis underlying bacteriospermia-associated suboptimal semen quality is sophisticated, multifactorial, and still needs further understanding. Bacterial adhesion and subsequent sperm agglutination and immobilization represent the most direct pathway of sperm–bacterial interactions. Furthermore, the release of bacterial toxins and leukocytic infiltration, associated with a massive outburst of reactive oxygen species, have been repeatedly associated with sperm dysfunction in bacteria-infested semen. This review serves as a summary of the present knowledge on bacteriospermia-associated male subfertility. Furthermore, we strived to outline the currently available methods for assessing bacterial profiles in semen and to outline the most promising strategies for the prevention and/or management of bacteriospermia in practice.
Effects of weight gaining to lower limb joint moments: a gender-specific sit-to-stand analysis
Authors: Serbest Kasim
Published: August 2022

The prevalence of obesity, a worldwide health problem, is increasing. Obesity or overweight has significant effects, especially on lower limb biomechanics. Previous studies have investigated the biomechanical effects of weight gain on the knee and hip joints. These studies have been conducted on different individuals with normal weight and overweight. However, no investigation has been carried out between women and men in terms of weight gain. Females usually gain weight in the gluteal-femoral region, whereas males gain weight in the abdominal region. Due to this difference, it is thought that the effects of weight gain should be examined in a gender-specific manner. In this study, a link-segment model of the lower limb was created. Then the sit-to-stand movement was simulated according to female and male-specific weight gain scenarios. According to these results, weight gain in the abdominal region (men-specific) increases the ankle and knee joint moments more than weight gain in the gluteal-femoral region (women-specific). In obese scenarios for males and females, while the ankle and knee joint moment increases, the hip joint moment decreases. These results would be beneficial for considering biomechanical differences caused by gender-specific weight gain in rehabilitation processes and orthotic and prosthetic designs.

Published: August 2022

Objectives

The European Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (EFLM) have established a program of work to make available, and to enable delivery of well characterized data describing the biological variation (BV) of clinically important measurands. Guided by the EFLM work the study presented here delivers BV estimates obtained from Chinese subjects for 32 measurands in serum.

Methods

Samples were drawn from 48 healthy volunteers (26 males, 22 females; age range, 21–45 years) for 5 consecutive weeks at Chinese laboratory. Sera were stored at −80 °C before triplicate analysis of all samples on a Cobas 8000 modular analyzer series. Outlier and homogeneity analyses were performed, followed by CV-ANOVA, to determine BV estimates with confidence intervals.

Results

The within-subject biological variation (CVI) estimates for 30 of the 32 measurands studied, were lower than listed on the EFLM database; the exceptions were alanine aminotransferase (ALT), lipoprotein (a) (LP(a)). Most of the between-subject biological variation (CVG) estimates were lower than the EFLM database entries.

Conclusions

This study delivers BV data for a Chinese population to supplement the EFLM BV database. Population differences may have an impact on applications of BV Data.

Published: August 2022

Slavic studies in China have long been conducted under the category of the Soviet Union and Eastern European studies. In the past three decades, the research in China has turned to the attention of various Slavic countries amid the evolving domestic and international situations. With a number of research findings in Slavic language, literature, and area studies, Slavic studies in China have contributed its share to the development of philosophy, social science, and the building of our country as a whole. As an emerging discipline, our research is expected to include studies of every Slavic country, do more comparative research among Slavic nations, optimize the discipline system, and amplify its voice worldwide. We believe that with the joint effort of Chinese researchers our Slavic studies will earn a place in the field of international Slavic research.

The road chronotope in rural colonial Philippines
Authors: Reyes Maria Luisa Torres
Published: August 2022

Through a chronotopic reading of “How My Brother Leon Brought home a Wife” by Manuel E Arguilla, a famous short story in English included in textbooks and anthologies of Philippine literature published during the American colonial era, the role of the contextual “background” features of fiction are brought into the textual foreground in order to focus on their dynamic relations. This attention to the mutual constitution of the text and context which are conventionally understood to be exclusive if not exclusionary of each other is meant to show how, in fact, the spatio-temporal structuring and generic framing of the text highlight the role of the “aesthetic” (the “intrinsic” textual elements of artistic form) while also foregrounding the very “politics” of the story’s context (the “extrinsic” contextual reality of society out there). Indeed, as the paper argues through a broadly narratological close reading of “How My Brother Leon Brought Home a Wife,” the story’s chronotope shows how text and context are mutually constitutive and inextricable spatio-temporal dimensions of the story embodying the story’s textual framing and structuring, marking its narratological significance, both aesthetically and politically against the larger backdrop of resistance movements during the American colonial period.
Conceptions of literary authorship in modern literary theories: history, issues, approaches
Authors: Lang Mengchen
Published: August 2022

The last three decades have seen a flourishing of theoretical discussions about the concept of literary authorship. This article is an attempt to scrutinise and engage with this thriving scene. Through a systematic review of conceptions of authorship in modern literary theories, I will outline historical shifts, disentangle current debates, and identify a range of approaches, with the aim of informing future studies of this concept. This article is divided into three parts. The first part offers a brief history of ideas of authorship in modern literary theories (ca. 1900 to the present). I trouble the narrative of the ‘death and resurrection of the author’ by showing that the concept of authorship has remained a constant concern, and by highlighting continuities between different theories. The second part identifies three main issues about the concept – agency/creativity, intention/authority, and self-presentation/self-construction. I illustrate how each of them has been addressed in recent discussions, focusing mainly on the last three decades, and point to potential directions for future research within each strand of debate. Finally, I provide a non-exhaustive typology of methodological approaches to the study of authorship. I will conclude with a brief consideration of the value of this concept for literary criticism.
Balance history and fiction in narrative: Approaching Walter Scott’s classical historical novels
Authors: Chen Qi
Published: August 2022

Water Scott sets up the literary genre with his outstanding and genuine composition of twenty-seven historical novels. With unique and tactical narrative strategies, Scott successfully balances the real historical world and the fictional world in the stories. Scrutinizing from four aspects, namely plotting, narrative time, narrator and focalization, and characterization, the present paper will reveal how the history is told in a fictional world without losing the historicity and keeping the vividness at the same time. Taking the faithfulness to history as the major principle, Scott fabricates a fascinating fictional world embedded with his understanding and emotions of the past.
Buoyancy driven flow characteristics inside a cavity equiped with diamond elliptic array

Published: August 2022

This study numerically investigates the two-dimensional natural convection in a square enclosure with an isothermal diamond elliptic array at Rayleigh numbers of 104≤ Ra ≤ 107. Three cases are considered, i.e., case 1 where two pairs of circular heating bodies are used inside the cavity, one is placed on the vertical centerline (VC) of the cavity and the other on the horizontal centerline (HC), case 2 where one pair of horizontal elliptic heating bodies is placed on the VC of the cavity and the other on the HC and case 3 where the horizontal elliptic heating bodies are replaced by vertical elliptic heating bodies. Numerical simulation was carried out based on the mesoscopic approach (LBM). The effects of the horizontally and vertically heated arrays were investigated. We demonstrate that, only when the Rayleigh number increases to Ra = 107, the numerical solutions reach an unsteady state for all cases. The transition of the flow regime from the unsteady state to the steady state depends on the variation in the ratio of the elliptical cylinder.
Dynamic response of Voronoi structures with gradient perpendicular to the impact direction
Authors: Wang Xizhou , Xu Xianghong , Gu Yang
Published: August 2022

Gradient porous structures are extensively studied in impact-resistant structures due to their light weight and high energy absorption. Different from existing studies, this article focuses on novel Voronoi structures with gradient perpendicular to impact direction, and compares their dynamic response with the uniform structure through numerical simulation. It shows that the novel gradient design comprehensively improves the impact resistance of Voronoi structures. Furthermore, density gradient is introduced into the one-dimensional shock model, and the theoretical solution of the plateau stresses at the impact end are compared with the simulation results, which verifies the correctness of the model in this article.

“Mindegy, mit reklámoz; lényeg, hogy szeretem”: A paraszociális kapcsolat és az influenszer-márka kongruencia együttes hatása a szponzorált közösségi posztok hatékonyságára
Authors: Hódi Boglárka , Barkász Dominika Anna , Buvár Ágnes
Published: August 2022

A TANULMÁNY CÉLJA

A hagyományos hírességek reklámiparban betöltött szerepét az elmúlt évek során átvették a „megbízhatóbbnak” és „emberibbnek” vélt közösségi média influenszerek. Jelen kutatásunk célja megvizsgálni a paraszociális kapcsolatok illetve az influenszer és a márka közötti összeillés (kongruencia) együttes hatását az influenszer hitelességére és a közösségi média posztok hatékonyságára.

ALKALMAZOTT MÓDSZERTAN

Mindkét empirikus vizsgálatban ismert magyar Instagram influenszerek szponzorált bejegyzéseit használtunk ingeranyagként. Az influenszerhez leginkább és legkevésbé illő márkák kiválasztásához előtesztet végeztünk. A résztvevők online kérdőívet töltöttek ki, mely felmérte az influenszerhez fűződő paraszociális kapcsolatukat, az ingeranyaghoz kapcsolódó attitűdjeiket és az influenszer észlelt hitelességét.

LEGFONTOSABB EREDMÉNYEK

Eredményeink ellentmondásosak: első vizsgálatunkban az erős paraszociális kapcsolat ellensúlyozta az inkongruens poszt direkt és indirekt negatív hatásait a reklámattitűdre. Ezzel szemben a második vizsgálatban a kongruens poszt forráshitelességen keresztül érvényesülő pozitív hatása a paraszociális kapcsolattal együtt erősödött, míg az inkongruens poszt direkt hatása pozitívabb volt a reklámattitűdökre magas paraszociális kapcsolat esetén, mint a kongruens poszté.

GYAKORLATI JAVASLATOK

Az influenszer és a márka összeillésének figyelembevétele továbbra is elengedhetetlen a hatékony influenszermarketing kampány lebonyolításához. Az erős paraszociális kapcsolat ellensúlyozhatja az influenszer és a márka össze nem illését, a mechanizmus pontos feltárásához azonban további vizsgálatok szükségesek.

A külső referenciaár hatása a fogyasztók árészlelésére
Authors: Lipták Lilla
Published: August 2022

A TANULMÁNY CÉLJA

A fogyasztók hajlamosak rá, hogy különböző heurisztikák segítségével egyszerűsítsék le a döntési folyamatukat. A horgonyzás egy ezek közül az egyszerűsítések közül. A termékek ára jelenthet egyfajta horgonyt, viszonyítási pontot. Ebben az esetben ezt a pontot referenciaárnak hívjuk. Kutatásunk célja, hogy feltárja ezeknek a külső referenciaáraknak hatását a fogyasztók árészlelésére és árértékelésére, olyan termékek esetében, amelyeket jól ismernek, gyakran vásárolnak.

ALKALMAZOTT MÓDSZERTAN

A primer adatgyűjtésünk során online kísérletet hajtottunk végre kérdőív segítségével, melyet több mint 2158 fő töltött ki.  A kutatás során a külső referenciaárak skálájának és a fantomáraknak az árészlelésre és fogyasztói döntésre gyakorolt hatását vizsgáltuk. A vizsgálatban résztvevőket két, véletlenszerű csoportra osztottuk. A két csoport hasonló, de nem azonos ingerképeket kapott a kísérlet során. A csoportok válaszainak eltérései alapján igyekeztünk felmérni, hogy milyen hatása vannak a külső referenciaárak az árak észlelésére és értékelésére.

LEGFONTOSABB EREDMÉNYEK

Az eredményeink azt mutatták, hogy a külső referenciaárak hatása még az olyan gyakran vásárolt termékek esetén is beazonosítható, mint a tej vagy egy üveg ásványvíz. Különbségek mutatkoztak a csoportok árészlelését illetően, amely alátámasztja, hogy a többi termék árainak skálája és a fantomárak is nagy szerepet játszanak a fogyasztók döntéshozási folyamatában. Habár a fantomárak nem az előre várt módon befolyásolták a fogyasztók döntését, hiszen nem az általunk várt termékre módosították a választást. Ennek megértése további, kvalitatív kutatás alkalmazását vetíti elő a jövőben.

GYAKORLATI JAVASLATOK

Az eredményeink alapján az mondható el, hogy a termékek árai nagyban befolyásolják a döntést, ezáltal a szakembereknek különös figyelmet kell fordítaniuk a bolton és a polcokon belüli termékelhelyezésre. Továbbá érdemes figyelembe venni és tudatosan alkalmazni a fantomárak hatását a hirdetésekben, akciós újságokban, amikor egy konkrét terméket szeretnének csak eladni.
Miért esszük azt, amit eszünk? A magyar fogyasztók étkezési motivációi
Authors: Kiss Marietta , Szakály Zoltán
Published: August 2022

A TANULMÁNY CÉLJA

Az étkezési szokások javítását célzó programok eddig nem voltak túl hatásosak. A lakosság egészségesebb táplálkozás irányába történő elmozdításához érdemes megismerni, hogy mi motiválja a fogyasztókat ételválasztásuk során. Tanulmányunk célja ezért feltárni a magyar fogyasztók étkezési motivációit, az egyes motivációk relatív fontosságát, esetleges eltéréseit az egészséges táplálkozásra való áttérés szakaszai, valamint háttérváltozók mentén, továbbá a lakosság szegmentálása evési motivációik alapján.

ALKALMAZOTT MÓDSZERTAN

Célunk elérése érdekében egy országos reprezentatív kérdőíves felmérést végeztünk, melynek során az étkezési motivációkat az étkezési motiváció kérdőívvel (TEMS), az egészséges táplálkozásra való áttérést pedig a változás transzteoretikus modellje (TTM) segítségével mértük. Az étkezési motivációk relatív fontosságát egyszerű leíró statisztikákkal jellemeztük, majd az étkezési motivációk alapján faktor- és klaszterelemzést is végeztünk.

LEGFONTOSABB EREDMÉNYEK

Eredményeink szerint a magyar fogyasztók számára kiemelten fontos motivációt jelent az ételválasztásban az étel kedvelése, a fogyasztásából származó élvezet, az éhség, valamint a megszokás, a tradíció és a kényelem, ezzel szemben az étel egészségessége, természetessége és a testsúlykontrollban játszott szerepe sokkal ritkábban motivál. Ez utóbbi motivátorok inkább jellemzőek a nőkre, a magasabb iskolai végzettségűekre és az alacsonyabb BMI-vel rendelkezőkre. Megállapítottuk továbbá, hogy az egészségesebb táplálkozásra való áttérés folyamatának elején jelentős motiváló erővel bír a szükséglet, a kényelem, a tradíció és az ár, ám ezek szerepe jellemzően csökken a folyamat során. A magyar fogyasztók étkezési motivációi nyolc faktorba tömörülnek, melyek alapján a fogyasztók négy szegmensét sikerült azonosítanunk.

GYAKORLATI JAVASLATOK

Eredményeink hozzájárulhatnak a fogyasztók ételválasztási preferenciáira épülő, az étkezési szokások javítását célzó programok kidolgozásához. A TTM egyes szakaszainak jellemző motivátorai rávilágítottak arra, hogy az egészségesebb táplálkozásra való áttérést érdemes lenne olyan programokkal elősegíteni, melyek azt hangsúlyozzák, hogy az egészséges táplálkozás éhezés és kényelmetlenségek nélkül is megvalósítható. Az azonosított négy klaszter közül a „tudatos evők” szegmensének azon része képezheti egy viselkedésváltozást célzó program célcsoportját, mely a TTM szakaszai közül a szemlélődés, a felkészülés vagy a cselekvés szakaszában van. Míg az első csoportot informáló, a másodikat meggyőző, a harmadikat megerősítő üzenetekkel lehetne az egészségesebb táplálkozás felé elmozdítani.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
Objective An estimated 3.8% of the global population experiences depression, according to the [2019] WHO report. Evidence supports the efficacy of exercise training (EX) for depression; however, its comparative efficacy to conventional, evidence-supported psychotherapies remains understudied. Therefore, we conducted a network meta-analysis to compare the efficacy of exercise training (EX), behavioral activation therapy (BA), cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and non-directive supportive therapy (NDST).
Methods Our search was performed in seven relevant databases (inception to March 10, 2020) and targeted randomized trialsomparing psychological interventions head-to-head and/or to a treatment as usual (TAU) or waitlist (WL) control for the treatment of adults (18 years or older) with depression. Included trials assessed depression using a validated psychometric tool.
Results From 28,716 studies, 133 trials with 14,493 patients (mean age of 45.8 years; 71.9% female) were included. All treatment arms significantly outperformed TAU (standard mean difference [SMD] range, -0.49 to -0.95) and WL (SMD range, -0.80 to -1.26) controls. According to surface under the cumulative ranking (SUCRA) probabilities, BA was mostly likely to have the highest efficacy (1.6), followed by CBT (1.9), EX (2.8), and NDST (3.8). Effect size estimates between BA and CBT (SMD = -0.09, 95% CI = -0.50 to 0.31), BA and EX (-0.22, -0.68 to 0.24), and CBT and EX (-0.12, -0.42 to 0.17) were very small, suggesting comparable treatment effects of BA, CBT, and EX. With individual comparisons of EX, BA, and CBT to NDST, we found small to moderate effect sizes (0.09 to 0.46), suggesting EX, BA, and CBT may equally outperform NDST.
Conclusions Findings provide preliminary yet cautionary support for the clinical use of exercise training for adult depression. High study heterogeneity and lack of sound investigations of exercise must be considered. Continued research is needed to position exercise training as an evidence-based therapy.
The Effects of Acute Online Yoga for Anxiety and Mood States: A Pilot Study
Authors: Soliva Emma , Kovacs Sara , Fritz Kathryn
Published: August 2022

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects that an acute bout of online yoga has on anxiety. The secondary purpose was to compare the anxiolytic effects of this study to the effect size reported for the effects of acute in-person yoga (1). METHODS: Eligible participants were randomly assigned to a 30-minute, prerecorded Zoom session of either yoga practice or yoga information. Prior to and following completing the recording, participants completed an online survey assessing anxiety and mood. An effect size (SMD) was calculated and compared to the effect size reported in a meta-analysis (1). RESULTS: Statistically significant group X time interactions were found for anxiety outcomes (intensity, frequency, total) (p<.026) and for POMS tension, fatigue, depression, esteem-related, vigor, and total mood disturbance scores, p<.041. Yoga participants reported a greater reduction in total anxiety and total mood disturbance scores compared to information participants. The SMD anxiety scores in this study was .54 (95% CI, .051-1.034), which is comparable to the effect size previously reported (1) which was .55 (95% CI, .29-.79). CONCLUSION: Acute online yoga was found to reduce anxiety. When compared to in person yoga, online yoga appears to have similar anxiolytic effects.
Der Output-Floor im Bankenpaket der Europäischen Kommission: Eine Auswirkungsanalyse aus ökonomischer und aufsichtsrechtlicher Perspektive
Authors: Bauerfeind Tobias , Baule Rainer , Tallau Christian
Published: August 2022

In diesem Beitrag werden die Auswirkungen der von der Europäischen Kommission vorgeschlagenen Umsetzung des Output-Floors aus ökonomisch-empirischer sowie aufsichtsrechtlicher Perspektive analysiert. Es zeigt sich, dass ein Großteil der europäischen IRB-Banken spätestens bei der vollständigen Implementierung im Jahr 2029 vom Output-Floor betroffen wäre, ein nennenswerter Teil aber auch bereits mit der initialen Stufe in 2025. Der relative Anteil betroffener deutscher Banken ist dabei sogar noch höher. Für diese Institute würden die regulatorischen Kapitalquoten durch die Einführung des Floors ceteris paribus sinken. Gleichzeitig zeigt sich, dass potenziell betroffene Banken bereits heute tendenziell mehr Überschusskapital über dem aufsichtlich vorgegebenem Minimum halten. Wie die aufsichtsrechtliche Analyse ergibt, erhöht die Umsetzung des Output-Floors nicht nur die Bedeutung standardisierter Ansätze, sondern verstärkt auch die Anreize für Banken, solche Ansätze zu verwenden. Damit wird letztlich das mit der Einführung von Basel II propagierte Ziel der Risikosensitivität wieder zurückgefahren. Schließlich ist zu konstatieren, dass mit zunehmender Bedeutung des Kreditrisikostandardansatzes auch die Stärkung der Abhängigkeit von externen Ratings einhergeht.

Tectona grandis wood presents decent dimensional stability as well as highly suitable physical and mechanical properties. These characteristics have encouraged the intense usage of this species, which also includes the reuse of wood processing waste for panel production. Using teak wood waste, this study aims to manufacture and evaluate heat-pressed particleboards at 5 MPa and 100 °C, by being glued with castor oil-based polyurethane resin at proportions of 10% for the homogeneous boards and 12% for the heterogeneous solutions. Single-layer (homogeneous) boards were compared with three-layer particleboard specimens (heterogeneous) having the finer particles in the outer layers. The basic density, moisture content, modulus of rupture and modulus of elasticity in the static bending and perpendicular tensile, water absorption, and thickness swelling after 24 h were evaluated to support this comparative study. All the manufactured particleboards met the standardized requirements of performance, thus being very feasible for usage as non-structural boards. When the two different compositions were analyzed, a considerably better performance of the three-layered particleboards was identified when compared to the homogeneous panels.
Effects of different incising pretreatments in improving permeability in two refractory wood species
Authors: Bakir Davut
Published: August 2022

For many product and applications, the penetration of preservatives or modification substances into wood species should be deep and homogeneous. Caucasian spruce and European larch are resistant to impregnation. This study compared how different incising pre-processes increased the retention of impregnation materials and the depth of their penetration into the structures of these refractory wood species. Mechanical, biological, and laser incising pretreatments were applied to increase the permeability of sapwood samples before the impregnation. To compare the uptake of the wood preservatives transverse and longitudinal to the axial tracheids in the samples, the cross-sections of some of the samples that had been subjected to different incising pretreatments were covered with a polyurethane-based paint. All wood samples were impregnated using a vacuum method with Celcure C4 new generation preservatives. The study compared the possible effects of these different incising pretreatments on the uptake of preservatives into the tracheids in the spruce and larch woods in both longitudinal and transverse directions. The results showed that the copper (Cu) uptake levels increased in these refractory wood species, especially in the transverse direction, after the different incising pretreatments. Moreover, the results showed it is very important to choose the most suitable pretreatment method for the refractory tree species before impregnation.
Modernisation of education: reforms of Peter I and the present day
Authors: Belenchuk Larisa
Published: August 2022

The article is devoted to the issues of reforming education in transitional periods of historical development. An attempt is made to compare two eras of innovative transformations - the time of Peter the Great's educational reforms (the first quarter of the XVIII century) and the recent period of our history (the 90s of the XX century - present. time). These difficult periods have a lot in common: the radical restructuring of school education, the transition to Western European models in culture, the rejection of traditional, "old" spiritual forms of education and training. Both reforms had different goals and consequences: in the Peter the Great period it was a search for new knowledge and new meanings of education, in the modern era it was an attempt to completely rethink and remake the Soviet education system.The time of Peter's reforms was evaluated by Russian thinkers in different ways, but almost everyone saw them as a process of modernization of society, an attempt to put it on new technological rails. Liberal and Westernizing thinkers evaluated Peter's reforms exclusively in a positive way, considering them a real revolution in the field of education, which led Russia to an unprecedented strengthening and flourishing. A galaxy of conservative thinkers who assessed the transformations of Peter I as a "storm" and a "thunderstorm" that overturned the old "Moscow" education, believed that they were inevitable, but had many negative consequences, in particular, the division of education into spiritual and secular, uncritical borrowing of its content from the Western European tradition, the forcible planting of schools alien to the spirit of the population.Modern innovative transformations, which are largely contradictory in nature, are still waiting for the evaluation by researchers and teachers.
Historical and educational prerequisites, conditions and factors of the opening of orthodox secondary schools in the contemporary history of Russia
Authors: Krat Anna
Published: August 2022

The article analyzes the historical and pedagogical prerequisites, conditions and factors of the emergence of Orthodox general education schools in the domestic educational space in the period from the beginning of the 90s of the twentieth century to the present. The restoration and characterization of the genesis of the process of creating Orthodox general education schools is carried out on the example of educational organizations in the city of Moscow. The use of statistical, comparative-comparative, reconstructive, historical-retrospective, as well as methods of interviewing, discussing and analyzing materials from official websites, reports on activities, information provided by directors, teachers and staff of Orthodox secondary schools made it possible to establish the following. The emergence of Orthodox general education schools is an innovative phenomenon in the modern history of Russia: before the revolution of 1917, starting with the Baptism of Rus, Orthodoxy was the state religion, including compulsory for teaching at school, which determined its way of life. but rather, schools of different confessions or, for example, digital (under Peter the Great) were in the indicated period a kind of pedagogical innovation; in the period after the revolution of 1917 and until the end of the 1980s, religious education in all forms and forms in the USSR was prohibited, and only from the beginning of the 90s of the twentieth century in the Russian Federation, in other historical conditions - now a secular democratic state, open for cooperation with religious organizations of traditional confessions, it became allowed to open private schools of confessional orientation. The conditions for the functioning of Orthodox general education schools in these realities were the activities of Sunday schools, the initiative of parishioners and the support of this initiative on the part of the parish rectors, as well as on the part of the city authorities. Among the factors that influenced the emergence of the first Orthodox general education schools in Russia were the conversion of people to the Orthodox faith, the revival of churches and the revitalization of parish life, the desire of parents to educate their children on the basis of the Orthodox worldview and in conditions of communication with like-minded people and fellow believers.
Iconography of the Resurrection in the Russian art of the 16th — 18th centuries: sources of formation of the new canon
Authors: Ivanova Svetlana
Published: August 2022

The article deals with the study of the development of the new iconography "Resurrection with the Descent into Hell", which appeared in Russian art in the 16th century. Variants of new iconography are considered on the examples of certain monuments. Iconographic types are distinguished by the arrangement of the two main plots, sequential or vertical. At the same time, in the first iconographic type, it is possible to see either a literal adherence to the Dutch engraving, or a rethinking: the placement of the image "Resurrection" below, under the main stage.The influence of the Old Believers' work "The Passion of Christ" on the iconography "Resurrection with the Descent into Hell" is investigated. This influence is evident not only in the new storylines that become commonplace for the new image. This can be seen both in the text on the icon and in the stamps of monuments. Examples of citing the text are given. Certain iconographic features associated with this influence are noted.
Images of Hell from Guiniforte Barzizza’s "Commento" (It. 2017, Bibliothèque nationale de France)
Authors: Mamlina Aleksandra
Published: August 2022

The manuscript of Dante’s Hell with a commentary wrote by the Pavian humanist Guiniforte Barzizza, created in the 40s of the 15th century for the Duke of Milan, Filippo Maria Visconti, is decorated with miniatures attributed to the artist whom P. Toecsa names to as Maestro delle vitae imperatorum. Presumably, the manuscript initially contained about 115 miniatures, only 72 of which have been preserved till present days, but the codex, divided between two libraries (It. 2017, National Library of France, and MS 76, Communal Library of Imola) and several private collections, remains one of the most richly illustrated copies of The Divine Comedy of the late Middle Ages. Illustrations are characterized by archaism and oriented towards older models, such as miniatures of Strozziano 152 (Medici Laurenziana Library, Florence) or MS. Holkham misc. 48 (Bodleian Library, Oxford), while the tense realism of the miniature makes it an example of a new approach in the visual interpretation of The Divine Comedy.Maestro delle vitae imperatorum renders the details of narration accurately in terms of topography, anatomy and psychologism, intending to allow the reader become an accomplice of various emotions experienced by the protagonist of The Divine Comedy. Thus, the physical journey comes to the foreground, stretches in time and space, allowing readers to trace its course and the very topography of hell in the smallest detail. Researchers note that the incredible expressiveness of Dante's portraits on the pages of the Visconti manuscript - the poet's poses, gestures, facial expressions, as well as the "clinical" accuracy with which, for instance, the sufferings of sinners are transmitted, evoke terror rather than compassion.The article examines some miniatures of the Paris codex, analyzes the features of the image of hell as interpreted by Maestro delle vitae imperatorum and their connection with the tradition of illustrating the The Divine Comedy and with the visual culture of Visconti in general.

Authors: Palomino Gámez Sergio , Vázquez Parra José Carlos
Published: August 2022

El presente artículo tiene el objetivo de proponer y validar un modelo de representación de personajes del colectivo LGBTI+ en contenidos audiovisuales, el cual sirva de herramienta para que los generadores de contenidos puedan plantear personajes apegados a la realidad de este grupo poblacional y adecuados en su representación. Adicionalmente, se busca hacer una validación de este modelo, considerando su implementación en una muestra de contenidos originales de la plataforma streaming Netflix. Como conclusión, se identifica que a pesar de hacer cada vez una mayor presencia de personajes lgbti+ en los medios de comunicación, la representación sigue siendo sesgada y estereotipada, lo que justifica la necesidad de herramientas como la que el presente artículo propone.
La idea de nacionalismo católico. Algunas aporías conceptuales en textos de autores argentinos
Authors: Muñoz Ceferino , Muñoz Ceferino
Published: August 2022

El nacionalismo católico dice tener el sustento teórico de sus principios en la misma doctrina católica. En este sentido, Tomás de Aquino, considerado el Doctor Común de la Iglesia, suele ser uno de los autores más citados al respecto, sobre todo cuando habla de la virtud de la piedad en la “Suma de Teología”. Sin embargo, en este trabajo se intenta mostrar que por lo menos en la letra de Tomás no aparece ni explícita ni implícitamente la idea de nacionalismo como una forma especial de la virtud de la piedad, ni tampoco la idea de patria tal como la entienden algunos exponentes del nacionalismo católico argentino.
