Against Political Literature: What's Next?
Authors: Peyroles Aurore
Published: January 2025

This article aims to critically examine a certain definition of political literature deployed in the French literary field, which considers it only, or overwhelmingly, under the prism of the ‘distribution of the sensible’ theorised by Jacques Rancière. With the aim of defending literature on the grounds of its social utility, many writers and critics assign it a duty of representativeness: the political role of literature is to make the invisible visible, in a language as transparent as possible. The article draws on a whole range of contemporary French literature that challenges this assignment and looks differently at the relationship between literature and politics, inviting to make literature politically rather than political literature. Examining in particular some of Nathalie Quintane’s and Sandra Lucbert’s texts, we shall see what this shift implies, both literarily and politically. The rejection of a literature functioning as a multiplier of visibility and accomplishing a social duty in no way implies the mourning of a political action proper to literature—but it does place it on the side of radical formal invention. What prospects does this redefinition open up?
A preservação do patrimônio cultural nas pequenas cidades de formação recente do noroeste paulista

Published: January 2025

Despite the 1988 Federal Constitution enshrining a broad and democratic vision of cultural heritage, practices in the preservation field often persist with a narrow view of what should be considered cultural heritage. There remains a general and diffuse idea that heritage encompasses only monumental constructions, works by great artists, or creations from distant times. This conception, contrary to what the constitutional text proposes for the field of preservation, excludes a vast majority of Brazilian cities, particularly smaller and more recently established ones. This work aims to contribute to deconstructing the limiting idea of cultural heritage being restricted to only monumental assets and, consequently, to traditional preservation instruments. This will be achieved through a discussion on cultural heritage in small, recently established cities, focusing on the northwest of São Paulo state. Based on a literature review of authors such as Gatti and Zandonade (2017), Endlich and Detoni (2022), Campos and Inoue (2020), and Fontenele and Oksman (2018), the intention is to foster a critical and expanded understanding of the concept of cultural heritage. By discussing the relationship between heritage and small, recently established cities in the northwest of São Paulo, the aim is to reflect on how these cities can encompass local heritage, not only to protect it against imminent changes in the city and its spaces but also to preserve and reinterpret their urban identity over time and generations, thereby providing better quality of life, and fostering the appropriation and identification of the residents.

Published: January 2025

Objectives. This study aimed to examine the effects of three high intensity interval training (HIIT) protocols on VO₂max and leg strength in recreational football athletes.
Materials and methods. Thirty-one participants were recruited and randomly assigned to one of three HIIT protocols: HIIT20/20, HIIT40/10, or HIIT60/5. The training programs spanned 6 weeks with a frequency of 3 sessions per week on non-consecutive days. Baseline testing for VO₂max and leg strength was conducted using an incremental exercise test with blood gas analysis and an isokinetic machine, respectively, at 1 week before the intervention, and post-intervention testing occurred 1 week after the last training session. A two-way repeated measures ANOVA was employed to compare changes between groups and across time points.
Results. The results demonstrated that there was a significant increase in VO₂max in both the HIIT40/10 (∆10.4 %, CI95% = 1.67–7.42 ml/kg/min, ES = Moderate) and HIIT60/5 (∆12 %, CI95% = 2.28–8.84, ES = Moderate) groups, while no considerable changes were observed in leg strength across any group (p > 0.05). Additionally, a Weak but substantial correlation between leg strength and VO₂max was found at both pre-intervention (r = 0.39) and post-intervention (r = 0.38) periods.
Conclusions. In conclusion, if the training goal was to improve VO₂max through HIIT, both the HIIT40/10 and HIIT60/5 protocols were more effective than HIIT20/20.

Published: January 2025

The aim of this review is to highlight advances in the development of hydrogels and the use of curcumin in the treatment of chronic wounds. Chronic wounds, such as pressure, vascular, neuropathic and neoplastic ulcers, represent a significant global health problem, accounting for 1-2 % of all existing wounds, and in Mexico alone, 9.4 % of the adult population suffers from chronic wounds, exacerbated by complications of diabetes mellitus. This systematic review used the virtual library OMICsearch and the search engine Mendeley, considering research that included some of the keywords such as biopolymers, curcumin, chronic wounds and hydrogels, so any that were not related to these and that did not fall within the search period between 2006 and 2024 were discarded. We found from 51 selected articles that curcumin, a phytopharmaceutical with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and proangiogenic properties, has been shown to be effective in wound healing. Moreover, hydrogels offer significant advantages in wound treatment due to their ability to provide spatiotemporal control in the healing stages, regulate wound microenvironments and release active molecules in a controlled manner. In conclusion, although the skin is the largest organ of the body and commonly affected by wounds, wounds can also occur in other areas due to surgery, cancerous tumors and ulcers of various etiologies. The development of curcumin hydrogels not only focuses on skin wounds, but also addresses inflammatory diseases, tumors, liver diseases, asthma and osteoarthritis, with pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications.

In order to develop a method for detecting precordial electrode exchange, a frequent exchange coordinate (FEC) algorithm was implemented, that identified the minimum correlation points necessary to detect a specific electrode exchange, and its performance was tested with error estimators (mean square error and percent mean square difference). Validation of the algorithm was performed using the k-fold cross-validation technique on the PTB, Chapman University and Shaoxing Hospital, PTB XL, and Georgia 12-lead ECG Challenge databases. The results indicate averages of Se= 99.16 % and Sp= 99.38 % (MSE), Se= 95.38 % and Sp= 99.47 % (PRD), Se= 98.44 % and Sp= 99.49 % (Pearson), Se= 98.45 % and Sp= 99.48 % (modified Pearson), Se= 95.39 % and Sp= 99.81 % (Bray Curtis), Se= 80.00 % and Sp= 97.84 % (correlation sign). MSE presents a significant improvement in execution time (61.49µs N=1000), representing, on average, 44.99 % of the execution time for Pearson correlation. The frequent exchange coordinates algorithm was then validated using signal analysis with the mean square error (MSE), representing a good alternative to detect electrode exchange in real time, easy to implement, and low computational cost.
Investigating the Influence of Phonotactic Probability on Spoken Word Recognition in Arabic
Authors: Aljasser Faisal M.
Published: January 2025

Evidence from English suggests that high phonotactic probability exerts facilitative effects on spoken word recognition. However, when lexical representations are activated in a Lexical Decision task, a reversed pattern of results is observed. That is, high phonotactic probability nonwords produce longer reaction times. In the present research, the influence of phonotactic probability on spoken word recognition in Arabic was examined using an auditory Lexical Decision task. In contrast to clear phonotactic probability effects in English, no effects of phonotactic probability on spoken word recognition in Arabic have been observed. We posit that some characteristics in Arabic morphology can impose processing demands that can diminish effects of phonotactic probability.

Published: January 2025

Kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of D-mannose with imidazolium fluorochromate (IFC) have been studied in a 1:1 volume ratio aqueous acetic acid medium. The oxidation study revealed first-order relationship on concentration of D-mannose, imidazolium fluorochromate, and perchloric acid. The reaction rates were enhanced by perchloric acid, and maintained a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio. A constant ionic strength was ensured across the reaction mixture. Further, variations in ionic strength values reflected shallow effect on oxidation rates. The reaction rates decreased in the solvent of high dielectric constant (δ). The observed results were in agreement with the Amis and Kirkwood plots, namely (logK1 vs (1/δ) and (δ-1/2δ+1)). Polymerization of acrylonitrile was absent in the reaction. The oxidation rates were recorded across the range of temperatures, and several thermodynamic variables were computed. The products of the oxidation reaction were arabinose and formic acid. A reaction mechanism supported by observed findings was suggested.

Published: January 2025

A produção do espaço pelas pessoas, corporações e instituições, em sua natureza, é produto e condição dos novos eventos socioespaciais, estes eventos embora contraditórios e heterogêneos, são pilares da reprodução das relações capitalistas de produção, que é veiculada pela ressignificação das particularidades locais/regionais, como as feiras-livres e outras atividades de mesmo caráter. Neste sentido, o presente artigo se propõe a dialogar sobre o papel socioeconômico das feiras-livres nas pequenas cidades do Nordeste e os impactos sobre elas decorrentes de recentes transformações, tendo como objeto de estudos a feira-livre do município de Sumé, localizada no interior do Estado da Paraíba. Para tanto, apropriou-se de análises teóricas e empíricas e se utilizou de instrumentos metodológicos como: observações in loco, questionários, entrevistas e, consequentemente, analises do banco de dados obtido. Além disso foram feitas entrevistas com comerciantes de outros setores do centro tradicional, buscando compreender as principais transformações socioespaciais ocorridas no entorno. Em meio a multiplicidade de resultados obtidos, conseguiu-se estabelecer a relação existente entre a circulação local/regional de capitais após a introdução de agentes suprarregionais, o que contribuiu para compreensão das transformações na feira a partir da relocação do Mercado Público Municipal. Estas ações geraram alterações significativas na dinâmica econômica da referida feira-livre e em seus diversos usos, tendo como destaque sua realocação e o intenso processo de redução dos fluxos. Entretanto, acrescenta-se que a mesma ainda se mantém como importante espaço de socialização e fomento à produção material e simbólica no município.

Diez años de Merck: una década de evolución del arbitraje internacional en Colombia
Authors: Zuleta Jaramillo Eduardo , Zuleta Londoño Alberto
Published: January 2025

Hace una década la Corte Suprema de Justicia de Colombia resolvió negativamente una solicitud de exequátur presentada por los apoderados de tres sociedades extranjeras: (i) Merck y Co Inc.; (ii) Merck Frosst Canada Inc.; y (iii) Frosst Laboratories Inc. El objeto de la solicitud de exequátur era un "Laudo Interlocutorio Respecto de la Jurisdicción del Tribunal de Arbitramento", dictado por un tribunal de arbitramento internacional administrado por la Cámara de Comercio Internacional ("CCI") y cuya sede era la ciudad de Newark, estado de Nueva Jersey, Estados Unidos de América. Las partes demandantes en el arbitraje que dio origen al laudo eran las tres sociedades mencionadas (a las que nos referiremos colectivamente como las "Compañías Merck") y la demandada una sociedad colombiana, Tecnoquímicas S.A. ("Tecnoquímicas"). Esa decisión de la Corte Suprema y las controversias jurídicas que la rodearon moldearon gran parte de las instituciones jurídicas que sirven de fundamento para el arbitraje comercial internacional en Colombia. Muchos de sus efectos continúan vigentes hoy.

Neonatal Cholestasis: Definition, Clinical Manifestations and Management; A Mini Review
Authors: Mohammadi Shirin , Mohammadi Shiva , Kadivar Maliheh
Published: January 2025

Physiological jaundice of the newborn is a complex benign disease that rarely persists in the second week of life. Neonatal cholestasis (NC) is caused by a disorder in the formation of bile by liver cells or obstruction of the flow of bile through the intrahepatic or extrahepatic biliary tree, which leads to the accumulation of bile substances in the liver, blood, and extrahepatic tissues. This state may continue until the first six months of infancy, and its vulnerability to other cholestatic agents increases. This fact makes NC an uncommon feature of neonatal liver disease rather than a late manifestation. The aim of this paper is to review the definitions, etiologies, clinical manifestations, treatment, and management strategies for NC infants.

Authors: Samudra Anggara Dwi , Purwanto Bambang , Novembri Utomo Dwikora
Published: January 2025

Introduction: Muscle strength strongly affects soccer players’ activities, but chronic ankle injuries can reduce the ability of athletes to achieve their best performance. No report exists in the literature about the role of certain muscles in affecting the vertical jump height of soccer players. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the differences in leg muscle strength that affect the vertical jump height of soccer players after chronic ankle injury.
Materials and Methods: To achieve the aim of this study, a cross-sectional design was employed by involving one team consisting of 25 Surabaya Football Association (PERSEBAYA) players. They were divided into injury and noninjury groups, according to the questionnaire. The participants were determined based on their normal body mass index (BMI), age (17-40 years), male gender, and PERSEBAYA players. The collected data included vertical jump, ankle muscle construction, and hamstring muscle data. The data were statistically analyzed using the t test and Pearson correlation (P<0.05).
Results: There was no significant difference in leg muscle strength between the injured and uninjured players. Only the hamstring muscle significantly affected soccer players’ vertical jump after chronic ankle injury (r=0.422, P=0.035 with moderate influence) and was not affected by the gastrocnemius, plantar, adductor, and abductor muscles.
Conclusion: There was a correlation between eccentric contraction of the hamstring muscle and vertical jump height in soccer players after a chronic ankle injury. These findings benefit soccer practitioners and medical teams in designing injury management and recovery strategies for players with ankle injuries.

Authors: Nacer Nezha , Ouzennou Nadia , Rkha Samia
Published: January 2025

Background & Aim: The emergence of COVID-19 has had significant effects on access to screening services for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). This study aimed to describe the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on care-seeking in the presence of signs of STIs among women of childbearing age in the Essaouira province of Morocco between April and June 2020.
Materials & Methods: A comparative and cross-sectional approach was used for the objectives of the study. It was a comparative analysis of the programmatic data from April, May, and June 2019 and from April, May, and June 2020. In addition, data were collected from women of childbearing age in 2021 via a questionnaire.
Results: Among the 1,100 selected women, 425 who reported having experienced symptoms of STIs during the COVID-19 pandemic were interviewed. 72.2% reported seeking health care from a qualified professional. The study revealed a relationship between women's healthcare seeking during the COVID-19 pandemic (p<0.05) and factors such as place of residence, education, marital status, socioeconomic status, and distance from healthcare facilities. The analysis of the distribution of data regarding syndromic reporting of STIs, between 2019 and 2020, revealed a difference of 17.2%.
Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic hindered the search for treatments for signs of STIs in women of childbearing age, with a 17.2% decrease in cases in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. However, the role of healthcare professionals remains crucial for maintaining awareness, screening, and treatment of these infections.

Published: January 2025

Background & Aims: Little is known about managing delirium in neonates admitted to Neonatal Intensive Care Units. The current study investigated whether kangaroo mother care can affect neonates' delirium under non-invasive mechanical ventilation.
Materials & Methods: In this randomized control trial, a total of 50 term neonates who were under non-invasive mechanical ventilation were allocated to intervention and control groups (n=25 in each group) using block randomization. Utilizing “Cornell Assessment of Pediatric Delirium”, and “ACoRN respiratory sequence protocol”, the data were gathered at baseline, 24, 48, and 72 hours after. The intervention group received 30 minutes of kangaroo mother care daily.
Results: There was a statistical delirium mean scores difference between the two groups on day 2 (p < 0.045) but not on other days. Repeated measures modeling (linear mixed models and generalized linear mixed models) indicated significant differences in change curves for both Cornell Assessment of Pediatric Delirium scores and the incidence of delirium.
Conclusion: Implementing kangaroo mother care for a 30-minute duration each day for neonates under non-invasive mechanical ventilation may markedly decrease delirium occurrence.

Published: January 2025

Background & Aims: Research on the types of work-life balance perceptions among MZ generation nurses is essential for improving collaboration and communication within organizations. The study aimed to identify the types of role perceptions regarding work-life balance (WLB) among MZ generation nurses.
Materials & Methods: The Q methodology was applied, selecting 36 Q samples from a population of 190, which were extracted from literature and in-depth clinical interviews with preceptors, new nurses, and nursing managers. The P sample consisted of 40 MZ generation nurses who had experience as preceptors regarding work-life balance. The Q samples were classified into a quasi-normal distribution frame and measured on a nine-point scale. Data were analyzed using the PQ Method program.
Results: Q factor analysis of the subjective perceptions of MZ generation nurses regarding WLB revealed four types: 'Organizational-Culture-Oriented,' 'Personal-Goal-Oriented,' 'Organizational-Culture-Dissatisfied,' and 'Emotional -Stability-Oriented.' These four types explained 54.1% of the total variance.
Conclusion: The findings suggest that MZ generation nurses prioritize mental satisfaction and quality of life over economic compensation. Therefore, organizations can improve job satisfaction and organizational commitment among nurses by providing multidimensional support that reflects their diverse needs.

Lithium salts are known to treat bipolar disorder. Their high potential as neuroprotective agents in cerebral ischemia determines relevance for preclinical studies for the registration of new drugs based on them. Aim of the study was to investigate the toxic properties and local tolerability with an assessment of the toxicokinetics of the developed lithium chloride preparation for injection in dwarf pigs with repeated intravenous administration. Material and methods. Lithium chloride (solution, for intravenous administration 4.2 %) has been administered to minipigs (control and 3 experimental groups of animals of 3 males and 3 females) for 28 days at doses of 12.6; 29.4 and 63 mg/kg. General toxicity, local irritation, and basic pharmacokinetic parameters (Cmax, AUC0-24, MRT, T1/2, Vss, and Cl) were evaluated. Serum lithium ion concentration was estimated colorimetrically using quinizarin. Results and discussion. Toxic properties of the test drug were revealed, expressed in a change in the clinical state (vomiting after administration, inhibition of behavior and feed refusal), body weight negative dynamics, clinical and laboratory changes, shortening of the “QT” interval, accompanied by abnormalities according to the pathomorphological study results (focal infiltration with single renal tubular necrosis areas, kidneys fibrosis, replacement of thyroid tissue with adipose tissue). There were no signs of locally irritating effects of the test product. To evaluate toxicokinetic parameters, a bioanalytical assay (calibration range – from 0.17 to 5.45 μg/mL) was developed and validated, which is not inferior by its characteristics to the commercial reagent kits. According to the results of biomaterial analysis no lithium accumulation in the pig’s body was found with repeated use of the test drug. Doses of the drug that provide toxic concentrations of lithium (above 3 μg/ml) in the minipig’s serum were identified. The NOAEL was 12.6 mg/kg and the LOAEL was 29.4 mg/kg. Conclusions. The comprehensive approach to the consideration of toxic manifestations and toxicokinetics, including its analytical component of studies of this kind, was noted. The obtained results should be taken into account to assess the benefit/risk ratio in the clinical use of lithium chloride injection.

One of the promising areas of regenerative technologies is the stimulation of proliferative activity of stem cells and, accordingly, the rate of their self-renewal, by exposure to nanosecond repetitive pulsed microwave radiation (RPMs). The article presents data on the effect of nanosecond RPMs on the rate of division of mesenchymal stem cells from the femur of Wistar rats. Material and methods. Data are presented on the effect of nanosecond repetitively pulsed microwave radiation carrier frequency of 9.4 GHz, pulse repetition rate of 13 Hz, 50 pulses, peak power flux density of 140, 210, and 310 W/cm2, absorbed energy value in 50 pulses at a depth of 1 cm, respectively 699, 1049 and 1549×10–6 J/cm3 on the division rate of mesenchymal stem cells from the femur of laboratory rats Wistar. The effect of the exposure was assessed by the change in the number of cells in the culture 24 and 72 hours after a single irradiation with RPMs with different intensity. Results. Depending on the intensity of RPM, both an increase and inhibition of cell division rate were observed, that is, the response had a phasic character. The most pronounced stimulating acceleration of cell division is exerted by RPMs with a peak power flux density of 140 W/cm2, and the effect is realized at the maximum rate after 24 h. Conclusions. The most probable biophysical and physiological mechanisms for the formation of the effects of changes in the rate of self-renewal of stem cells induced by RPMs are considered.

Glyprolines have a wide range of pharmacological effects, including antioxidant effects. This can be used to correct functional and morphological disorders of the brain after traumatic brain injury (TBI) by inhibiting secondary damage, the prevention of which is the main way to improve TBI outcomes. The aim of the study was to investigate the level of apoptosis in the cells of the proper parietal lobe (PPL) and the CA1 field of the hippocampus of mature male Wistar rats after mild TBI and a course of glyproline RPGP (Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro). Material and methods. Rat brain tissues (n = 38) were used in the experiment. Mild TBI was modeled by free fall of a load. After the injury, the animals received intraperitoneal RPGP peptide at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg, dissolved in 0.9% NaCl solution or NaCl solution. The level of apoptosis in brain tissues was assessed by the expression of p53 antigen using immunohistochemistry. Results. On the 22st day after TBI, the number of glial cells that entered into apoptosis in layer II of the proper parietal lobe (PPL) of the Wistar rat brain increases. In animals subjected to simulated TBI and receiving RPGP intraperitoneally at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg for 21 days, the level of apoptosis did not increase. Conclusion. It was found that after a course of RPGP administration against the background of TBI, the level of apoptosis in neuroglial cells decreases.

Introduction. Classical trigeminal neuralgia is caused by the compression of the trigeminal nerve root and often requires surgical intervention due to the maladaptive intense pain syndrome. Both arteries and veins are considered compressing vessels, however, the role of venous compression in the development of neuralgia remains undefined. The aim of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of microvascular decompression in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia caused by venous compression, considering the use of various surgical tactics. Material and methods. A retrospective analysis of surgical outcomes in 70 patients who underwent microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia at the Federal Neurosurgical Center (Novosibirsk, Russia) between 2017 and 2021 was conducted. The study included 46 women and 24 men aged 23–82 years with unilateral facial pain. Brain MRI was performed preoperatively to evaluate neuroimaging picture and to clarify the relationships between the trigeminal nerve root and adjacent vessels. The surgical results were assessed during follow-up using the Barrow Neurological Institution (BNI) scale. Results. The study showed that venous neurovascular compression is frequently found in trigeminal neuralgia patients undergoing microvascular decompression in 26.9 % of cases. Various operative strategies were used when venous compression was detected, with high short-term success rates and lower recurrence rates. Long-term monitoring indicated pain relief in 71.4 % of cases (BNI I–II) and pain recurrence in 28.6 % of cases (BNI III, IV, V). Conclusion. This study highlights the effectiveness of microvascular decompression in treating classical trigeminal nerve neuralgia caused by venous compression and emphasizes the importance of individual surgical tactics based on the characteristics of the adjacent veins to achieve optimal results.

Correction of behavioral risk factors (BRFs) as the basic basis of systems for the prevention of chronic non-communicable diseases for various population groups is one of the urgent tasks in the field of public health. Aim of the study was to investigate the prevalence of BRFs for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) among bearing production workers for the subsequent development of preventive measures. Material and methods. A sociological study of behavioral lifestyle factors contributing to the development of CVD (smoking, alcohol consumption, unhealthy diet, low physical activity, irresponsible medical behavior) was carried out in a group of bearing production workers (n = 382), taking into account gender and age differences. Results and discussion. The prevalence of smoking was 39.7 %, with a higher proportion of men smoking than women (42.8 and 22.9 %, respectively, p < 0.001). Alcohol (in moderate quantities) is consumed by 71.5 % of respondents, statistically significantly more often (p < 0.001) by men (75.8 %) than women (58.7 %). The prevalence of physical inactivity was 10.64 % and was more pronounced (p = 0.011) among women compared to men (15.0 and 7.4 %, respectively) and among young people (18–39 years old) compared to middle-aged people (40–65 years old) (p = 0.005). The majority of study participants (82.2 %) do not adhere to healthy eating rules (52.4 % men, 35.8 % women). Insufficient consumption of vegetables and fruits was found (in 30.0 and 34.0 %, respectively), fish (in 80 %), olive oil (in 100 % of those surveyed). 90 % consume excess salt. Low preventive medical activity of workers was revealed, manifested in an unreasonably high assessment of their own health, refusal to see a doctor for therapeutic purposes, self-medication, and neglect of preventive medical examinations. Conclusions. The results of the study indicate the priority of the population direction of preventive measures aimed at correcting the behavioral risk factors of CSD in the working population and increasing motivation for a healthy lifestyle and health-saving behavior.

Epidemiological studies describing the effects of parental radiation exposure on the health of children are highly contradictory. Aim of the study was to analyze the general mortality of offspring whose parents were exposed to occupational radiation at Mayak, the first nuclear power plant in Russia. Material and methods. A retrospective analysis was conducted in a cohort of 19 999 offspring born in 1949–1973, of which 12 836 were born in families of Mayak workers and 7163 were born from non-irradiated parents. General mortality was analyzed taking into account sex, calendar period, nosologies, and doses of external gamma irradiation of the gonads before conception. The standardized mortality ratio (SMR) was calculated in comparison with the national standard, the relative risk (RRisk) was estimated taking into account disease classes and the excess relative risk (ERRisk) with a 95 % confidence interval taking into account the doses of external gamma irradiation of the gonads. Results and discussion. In the main group, 2758 deaths have been registered for the period 1949–2020 (214.9 per 103), which is significantly less than in the comparison group (1689 cases, 235.8 per 103) (p = 0.0006). The most frequently observed diseases were “Injuries and poisoning”, “Diseases of the circulatory system” and “Malignant neoplasms” without significant differences between the groups. The risk of infectious pathology, “Certain conditions of the perinatal period” and “Respiratory diseases” in the comparison group was significantly higher than in the main group. Overall, the RRisk of death was higher in the comparison group for female offspring – 0.78 (0.69–0.88) and for both sexes – 0.89 (0.83–0.95). In many categories of parental age, there was a clear predominance of mortality in the comparison group. The SMR analysis showed that the general mortality from all causes among female offspring in the main group and among male offspring in both groups was statistically significantly lower than in the Russian Federation. The calculation of the ERRisk did not reveal an excess of risk coefficients either overall or in different dose categories. Conclusion. The study results did not indicate an increased risk of death among the offspring of individuals exposed to occupational radiation. Taking into consideration the relatively young age of the observed cohort, further epidemiological monitoring is required.
O bom cristão não deve temer a morte. O Manual de Conforto, do teólogo luterano Johann Gerhard, de 1611
Authors: Nascimento Mara Regina
Published: January 2025

O Manual de conforto para pessoas angustiadas e doentes é uma tradução do Manual de consolação. Pequeno livreto com poderoso conforto que podemos contrapor à morte e às tentações na angústia da morte, de 1877, original de 1611, do teólogo alemão Johann Gerhard. Acreditamos que problematizar as instruções luteranas aos aflitos e enfermos, em proximidade da morte, nos leva a conhecer, na intimidade, o que os crentes experienciaram. Buscamos compreender o quanto o Manual revela os medos e as formas de enfrentamento da morte do século XVII, sob a ótica luterana. Do ponto de vista conceitual e teórico, nosso artigo se apoia na relação entre a história das religiões com a história da leitura, tomando por base os estudos acadêmicos sobre a morte e o morrer.

Published: January 2025

Cette étude analyse si les exemples des dictionnaires franco-coréens sont présentés de manière appropriée en fonction des caractéristiques et des fonctions d’un dictionnaire bilingue. Ces dictionnaires sont essentiels pour l'apprentissage des langues étrangères et fournissent diverses informations lexicales. Les exemples, notamment, jouent un rôle crucial dans la compréhension de l'emploi des mots.
Nous examinerons les exemples des dictionnaires franco-coréens pour identifier les besoins de révision et de complément des dictionnaires existants. Dans un premier temps, nous étudierons les types et les fonctions des exemples lexicographiques, puis nous établirons les exigences que ces exemples doivent respecter. Ensuite, nous vérifierons si les exemples du dictionnaire respectent quatre critères d'évaluation : morphologique/ syntaxique, sémantique, pragmatique, ainsi que leur adéquation lexicographique. Cet article met l'accent sur les principes d'élaboration des exemples et fournit des lignes directrices utiles à la rédaction et à la révision futures des dictionnaires.

Authors:   Société d’Etudes Franco-coréennes, LEE Junghwan
Published: January 2025

Les traductions coréennes des œuvres de Zola sont peu étudiées. Cette étude vise à combler cette lacune en analysant Nana de Zola, publié en 1880, et traduit en 1924 par le célèbre compositeur coréen Hong Nan-pa, en référence aux traductions précédentes en japonais.
Cet article est structuré en trois parties. Premièrement, nous examinons les difficultés que pose l’étude des activités de traduction, indirectes en majorité, de Hong Nan-pa. Deuxièmement, nous analysons cette traduction indirecte coréenne de Nana afin d’identifier ses complexités et les points d’intérêt qu’elle révèle. Troisièmement, nous étudions les réactions suscitées par la traduction de Nana chez les contemporains.
Enfin, nous proposons des pistes de recherches traductologiques pour l’étude des traductions d’œuvres littéraires françaises en Corée, publiées pendant l’Occupation japonaise.
