Philosophical foundations of culture medicalization
Authors:   South Ural State University (NRU), Kamalieva Irina
Published: April 2022

Introduction. The increasing mediation of human life by medicine necessarily raises the question of philosophical understanding the phenomenon of culture medicalization, since today the vector of growing powerful influence of medicine on forming sociocultural processes has clearly emerged. Along with the positive phenomena of the medicalization of life, the volume of “excessive” phenomena of its medicalization is growing. The purpose of the article is to clarify the philo- sophical foundations of the progressive medicaliza- tion of modern culture. Methods. The methodological basis of the study is presented by dialectical, epistemological, axiologi- cal, philosophical-anthropological, and socio-phil- osophical approaches. The study is based on E. Cassirer’s transcendental philosophy, the phenom- enological transcendentalism of E. Husserl; V.S. Stepin’s concept about the system of informational social codes; and P.D. Tishchenko’s concept on the transformation of bio-power in modern culture. Scientific novelty of the research. The author outlines fundamental foundations of modern cul- ture medicalization as a result of mutually similar processes of transforming bio-power and the progress of biomedical sciences. Results. Unfolding, culture compensated for the bodily weakness of a person with the power of his technical inventions, but today they have surpassed the intellectual capabilities of their creator - the individual has to permanently adapt to the grow- ing volume of mass technogenic innovations. The historically formed human need to master the world through its “humanization” is suppressed, and, as a result, the problem of a modern indi- vidual’s request for self-realization through the creative transformation of the social environment is actualized. In this regard, one of the philosophi- cal and anthropological foundations of modern culture can be recognized as a technogenically determined desire of a person to transform his own corporeality, aimed at expanding the capabili- ties of a natural person. Biomedical sciences, as a result of biotechnological progress, turned out to be exactly the social and scientific sphere, which, building up practical activities within the framework of healthcare, considers the person to be both the subject and the object of the biosocial transforma- tion demanded by cultural evolution. Conclusions. The process of medicalization of culture occurs on the basis of two reciprocal fundamental processes: first, the strengthening of the principles of bio-power as “care for all forms of life”; secondly, the progress and technologization of scientific medicine, which in practice provides a socio-cultural demand for a modern prosperous individual.

THE TEACHINGS OF B. N.CHICHERIN ABOUT THE PEOPLE'S REPRESENTATION
Authors:   Ростов-на-Дону, Россия, Елена Петровна Саенкова
Published: April 2022

The article examines the main provisions of the theory of people's representation of B.N. Chicherin. It is noted that his views are characterized by a focus on overcoming the one-sidedness, inconsistency of individual state-legal doctrines. He sought to avoid both an anarchist approach and state-despotic theories by achieving, in his concepts, a balance of freedom and power. In favor of the fact that this theory has an independent scientific significance, the problems considered in the article, namely: the differentiation of civil representation and political, the separation of personal and political rights, the development of the concepts of "national sovereignty", "sovereignty of the people", "self-government", "sovereignty of the state", "constituent power". The article also analyzes the theory of B.N. Chicherin's political ability, his arguments about the advantages and disadvantages of popular representation, internal and external reasons that accelerate and delay the introduction of popular representation.

ON DEMOCRATIC FOUNDATIONS OF FUNCTIONING OF LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT AS SUBSYSTEM OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION IN CONDITIONS OF MODERN POLITICAL PROCESSES
Authors:   Южно-Российский институт управления – филиал Российской академии народного хозяйства и государственной службы при Президенте РФ, Ростов-на-Дону, Россия, Максим Вячеславович Максимов
Published: April 2022

The article considers the democratic basis of local self-government in the system of built public administration, defines the problems of implementing the principles of democracy in the exercise of power at the local level and the peculiarities of the entry of local self-government into the public power system of modern Russia. Modern political processes related to the development of local self-government are connected on the one hand with the emergence of a single system of public power, and on the other, the development of direct and representative democracy at the local level in the exercise of power. The author notes that when institutionalizing public administration in modern Russia, it is necessary to take into account the balance between strengthening the vertical of state power and the development of democratic principles in the system of local self-government.

The Dialectical Interplay of Seeing and Hearing in Psalm 19 and Its Connection to Wisdom
Authors: KLOUDA SHERI L.
Published: April 2022

The paper attempts to establish through exegetical analysis of the Hebrew text a plausible literary framework for Psalm 19. A careful study of the psalm suggests that the psalmist draws on the basic concepts of seeing and hearing in the construction of this poem. In a skillful reversal of roles, visual terminology conveys verbal ideas while verbal vocabulary describes visual phenomena. As a result, the visual and verbal revelation of Yahweh are at once contrasted and compared in the text. Together they sustain a complementary relationship, comprising one complete revelation of Yahweh. Furthermore, the interplay of seeing and hearing may account for the wisdom features present in the psalm. The Ancient Near East traditionally viewed wisdom as derived from the observation of the natural world. The superior nature of genuine wisdom, appropriated by Israel however, comes from Yahweh's verbal revelation. Wisdom acquired through visual testimony becomes assimilated under the auspices of wisdom as defined by Torah. Yahweh's word provides the only source of wisdom for interpreting the witness of the external world properly. Ultimately, both Yahweh's works and words testify to the glory of the Creator.
Considering the Needs of the Church: A Response to Craig Blomberg
Authors: VERSEPUT DONALD J.
Published: April 2022

It is necessary for the academy to listen carefully to the church, to appreciate more fully its new orientation and its changing needs. Three topics are especially pressing: (1) We must acquaint our students with the cultural experiences of early Christianity, in order to learn again how to make biblical theology relevant to our society. (2) The distinctives of biblical and Christian ethics need to be carefully probed. (3) The relevance of biblical theology for spirituality needs to be investigated afresh.
Josephus's View of the Amalekites
Authors: FELDMAN LOUIS H.
Published: April 2022

Josephus elevates Moses' role and diminishes the miraculous in the Amalek episode. In the Pentateuch Josephus, defensive about the charge that Jews preach genocide, omits the command to eliminate Amalek; rather, Moses predicts it. In 1 Samuel he explains that G-d so hated them as to order it. As to the parallel command to exterminate the seven Canaanite nations, this was necessary, says Josephus, for the national survival of the Israelites.
Leviticus 10:1: Strange Fire and an Odd Name
Authors: HESS RICHARD S.
Published: April 2022

This study will argue that the names of Nadab and Abihu, as well as the unique description "strange fire," describe an association with cultic activities that are not merely outside the divinely approved actions of the priests but represent an innerbiblical association with the sin of Aaron in Exodus 32 as well as a parallel with Semitic rites of ordination found in extrabiblical texts from thirteenth-century BCE Emar. Together these support the conclusion that the condemned actions were idolatrous.
John and the Future of the Nations
Authors: SCHNABEL ECKHARD J.
Published: April 2022

John's vision for the future includes statements concerning the nations of the earth that have been interpreted in terms of a final conversion of all nations in the future. Most interpreters find such a soteriological universalism in Rev 21:3, 24–27 and 22:2–3, R. J. Bauckham seeks to establish such a hope for 11:3–13; 14:14–16 and 15:2–4 as well. Bauckham rejects the traditional view that the vision of the New Jerusalem refers only to Christians, the covenant people redeemed from all the nations, as the inhabitants of the new world. He argues that John fuses the OT promises for the destiny of God's own people and the universal hope that all the nations will become God's people: John foresees the full inclusion of all the nations in Israel's and the church's covenant privileges and promises. This paper interacts with Bauckham's interpretation of the relevant passages in Revelation.
Is Mark's Gospel an Apology for the Cross?
Authors: WILLIAMS JOEL F.
Published: April 2022

Robert H. Gundry's impressive and detailed commentary on the Gospel of Mark is a book built on a central thesis, that Mark wrote an apology for the cross. Mark presented Jesus as a powerful and supernatural savior in order to reach Gentile unbelievers who were stumbling over the shamefulness of the crucifixion. This article argues that the description of miracles within Mark's Gospel, the teaching of Jesus on discipleship, and the passion narrative itself, all create problems for Gundry's approach to Mark's audience.
β-Cell Succinate Dehydrogenase Deficiency Triggers Metabolic Dysfunction and Insulinopenic Diabetes

Published: April 2022

Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a central role in type 2 diabetes (T2D); however, the pathogenic mechanisms in pancreatic β-cells are incompletely elucidated. Succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) is a key mitochondrial enzyme with dual functions in the tricarboxylic acid cycle and electron transport chain. Using samples from human with diabetes and a mouse model of β-cell–specific SDH ablation (SDHBβKO), we define SDH deficiency as a driver of mitochondrial dysfunction in β-cell failure and insulinopenic diabetes. β-Cell SDH deficiency impairs glucose-induced respiratory oxidative phosphorylation and mitochondrial membrane potential collapse, thereby compromising glucose-stimulated ATP production, insulin secretion, and β-cell growth. Mechanistically, metabolomic and transcriptomic studies reveal that the loss of SDH causes excess succinate accumulation, which inappropriately activates mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) complex 1–regulated metabolic anabolism, including increased SREBP-regulated lipid synthesis. These alterations, which mirror diabetes-associated human β-cell dysfunction, are partially reversed by acute mTOR inhibition with rapamycin. We propose SDH deficiency as a contributing mechanism to the progressive β-cell failure of diabetes and identify mTOR complex 1 inhibition as a potential mitigation strategy.

Verification of the Effectiveness of Occlusal Treatment Using Postural Information: A Case Report
Authors: Jeannin, DDS, PhD, HDR Christophe , Bellemon Gwennaëlle , Moreno Matthieu , Gebeile-Chauty, DDS, PhD Sarah
Published: April 2022

Occlusal treatments can cause irreversible dental changes without guaranteeing clinical success. To avoid this, an initial, non-mutilating, phase of treatment using splint, for example, followed by an objective evaluation of the effectiveness is required before moving to next phase that permanently freezes the new mandibular position. As an example, a 74 years-old European female who consulted for tinnitus was referred, prior to any procedure, to a posturologist who established an initial postural assessment.  A splint was made to increase the height between posterior teeth. 6 months after the tinnitus had disappeared, the patient was sent for postural assessment (made by the same posturologist and using the same tests). After an additional increase in posterior teeth height validated by an additional postural analysis, new fixed prostheses were placed taking into account the respective increases in height validated during this initial phase of treatment.
Monitoring the effectiveness of initial and reversible stage is important as in occlusodontology, the disappearance of clinical symptoms is not always synonymous with healing. Moreover this is an interesting way to improve the rigor of patient management.
Relapse of Infiltrating Lobular Carcinoma with Distant Metastasis and Malignant Pleural Effusion after 7 Years of Disease-Free Survival: A Case Report
Authors: Klein, MD MPH Jenn , Abraham, MD Sunoj
Published: April 2022

Breast cancer relapse remains a common cause of morbidity and mortality in patients who initially underwent surgical treatment with or without chemotherapy and radiation. Rates of recurrence are highest in the first two years after diagnosis but the rate of relapse remains persistent more than a decade after diagnosis. Additionally, pleural metastasis of breast cancer, which often presents as a malignant pleural effusion, typically occurs during the first few years after diagnosis but is not common after a long period of disease-free survival. This is a case of breast cancer relapse after 7 years of disease-free survival with lung metastasis and malignant pleural effusion secondary to pleural metastasis and without locoregional recurrence.

Se analizan instalaciones, conjuntos escultóricos y obras efectuadas por el tallador que fueron exhibidas en distintas partes del mundo con el objetivo de transmitir su cultura. El protagonista de ellas es el chemamüll (che: ‘gente’ y mamüll: ‘madera’, en mapudungun), ser protector del espíritu de los difuntos a quienes acompañan hasta su destino final junto a sus antepasados. Construidos en roble pellín o laurel, estos tótems de grandes dimensiones son reelaborados por la mano del escultor con la intención de que su historia y sus significaciones no se olviden.
Dos versiones de lo latinoamericano en obras de M. Etkin y M. Maiguashca
Authors: Rodríguez Edgardo José
Published: April 2022

Asumidos los supuestos de las vanguardias post-seriales, el problema político-estético de los jóvenes creadores que participaron del Centro Latinoamericano de Altos Estudios Musicales del Instituto Di Tella ya no fue cómo dominar un modelo siempre externo, sino lograr la diferenciación por medio de un lenguaje propio. Algunos becarios, luego compositores importantes, produjeron músicas y estéticas basadas en una idea de lo latinoamericano fundada en aspectos americanos precolombinos. Se desarrollaron, al menos, dos tendencias: por un lado, la que se constituyó alrededor del uso de referencias indígenas directas y, por el otro, la que las transformó en un componente abstracto o conceptual para el logro de la estructura. En este trabajo se estudian obras y escritos de Mesías Maiguashca y Mariano Etkin, exbecarios del Centro, que representarían paradigmáticamente ambas vertientes.
Líneas abismales y estéticas fronterizas
Authors: Russo Eduardo A.
Published: April 2022

El artículo examina las estrategias ficcionales desplegadas por dos recientes films brasileños, As boas maneiras (2017), en su relación con el concepto de línea abismal, propuesto por Boaventura de Sousa Santos y Bacurau (2019), como incursión en una poética fronteriza, de acuerdo a los planteos de Walter Mignolo. Más allá de las particularidades y diferencias entre ambos films, es posible advertir en ellos ciertos aspectos compartidos, que recogen y repiensan los legados de la modernidad cinevmanifiestan un impulso transversal hacia el delineamiento de opciones estéticas descoloniales (Gómez Moreno, 2010).

Tiempo de guitarras. Una mirada sobre los aportes de Mateo Villalba, es un estudio sobre los recursos interpretativos, melódicos y de acompañamiento desarrollados en el conjunto de guitarras que Villalba formó a partir de los años ochenta. Su riqueza reside no solo en la sistematización de los contenidos, considerando que el chamamé (al igual que otras músicas populares argentinas) se aprendía entre músicos/as casi exclusivamente a través de la oralidad; sino también en su propuesta anclada en la producción musical, donde las sonoridades que la autora logra como intérprete y arregladora junto a su conjunto de guitarras, se alejan positivamente de la sonoridad de Villalba evidenciando su propia forma de hacer Chamamé.
El video-ensayo
Authors: Dottorini Daniele , Di Bastiano Malena
Published: April 2022

La palabra «escritura» es cada vez más una palabra central en el escenario audiovisual contemporáneo, caracterizada por una fructífera «impureza». Precisamente porque cada vez más asistimos a una convergencia entre las prácticas propias de la escritura literaria o de no ficción, con el uso de imágenes y la edición. Una onda subterránea pero poderosa atraviesa prácticas aparentemente diferentes como la literatura y el cine: una idea de hibridación, de búsqueda de una impureza constitutiva que tienen en común un determinado cine y una determinada literatura. Una de las tendencias cada vez más presentes en el estudio y el análisis de los medios de comunicación es el video ensayo o la crítica videográfica, en la que se funden nuevas formas de edición y escritura sobre y con las imágenes. Por eso, el ensayo explora esta tendencia, identificando algunos de sus momentos fundadores (Eisenstein, Astruc) y reconociendo su potencial, hipotetizando una posible cartografía de las formas que se han extendido en los últimos años. En todas estas formas vibra la aspiración del montaje a convertirse en una forma de discurso, no para sustituir la palabra, sino para integrarla, hibridarla, descubrir su naturaleza íntima como imagen. Este campo móvil debe ser explorado, y este es uno de los retos teóricos, estéticos y críticos de nuestro tiempo.
Ficción: ser o no ser
Authors: Sanders Julieta
Published: April 2022

La ficción vuelve otra vez a escena porque representa un campo de disputa incesante por fijar sus límites y la autoridad sobre ellos. Contienda teórica que se entabla sin vencedores ni vencidos. En este artículo se sobrevolarán algunas de las concepciones que le dan sustento con el objetivo de examinar otras posibilidades que contribuyan al debate. La indagación no tiene pretensiones de dar una definición acabada, ni analizar aciertos o desventajas que emanan de los diferentes enfoques. Son reflexiones surgidas a partir de la enseñanza de la literatura que aceptan la convivencia de los contrastes, las contradicciones, lo visible y lo vedado, lo fingido y lo real, lo que es, lo que no y lo que pudiera llegar a ser, donde se le otorga al lector la posibilidad de permanecer tranquilo en la opacidad de algunos objetos.
Efficient Cost-Effective Static-PPP Using Mixed GPS/Glonass Single-Frequency Observations (KSA)
Authors: Farah Ashraf
Published: April 2022

Precise point positioning (PPP) is a GNSS positioning technique that saves cost and has an acceptable accuracy for enormous applications. PPP proved its efficiency through two decades comparing with traditional differential positioning technique. PPP uses one receiver collecting observations at an unknown station without the need for a reference station with known coordinates. PPP-collected observations must undergo extensive mitigation of different GNSS errors. Static-PPP accuracy depends mainly on the observations type (dual or single frequency), used systems (GPS or GLONASS or mixed GPS/GLONASS), satellites geometry, and observations duration. Static-PPP using dual-frequency observations gives optimum accuracy with a high cost. Static-PPP using single-frequency observations gives acceptable accuracy with a low cost. Since the end of 2012, PPP users are able to depend on GLONASS system as an alternative. This research investigates singe-frequency/static-PPP accuracy variation on KSA based on different factors: the system used (GPS or GLONASS or GPS/GLONASS), satellites geometry, observations duration, and ionosphere activity state. Observations from 2 days reflecting different ionospheric activity states were used for this research from three CORS stations (KSA-CORS network) operated by KSA-General Authority for Survey and Geospatial Information (KSA-GASGI). It can be concluded that precision (0.05 m lat., 0.12 m long., and 0.13 m height) under quiet ionosphere and precision (0.09 m lat., 0.20 m long., and 0.23 m height) under active ionosphere could be attained using 24 h mixed GPS/GLONASS single-frequency observations. Static-PPP using 24 h mixed GPS/GLONASS single-frequency observations’ accuracies are 0.01 m lat., 0.01 m long., and 0.03 m height (quiet ionosphere) and 0.01 m lat., 0.06 m long., and 0.06 m height (active ionosphere) compared to true station coordinates.
Integration of Artificial Neural Network and the Optimal GNSS Satellites’ Configuration for Improving GNSS Positioning Techniques (A Case Study in Egypt)
Authors: Alemam Mustafa K. , Yong Bin , Mohammed Abubakar S.
Published: April 2022

Nowadays, the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) positioning techniques based on the International GNSS Service (IGS) products are extensively used for various precise applications. However, specific conditions such as the dual-frequency observations and the final IGS products are required. Consequently, the absence of the final IGS data and using single-frequency observations will degrade these techniques’ accuracy. In this paper, two algorithms through two separated stages are formulated for improving the single-frequency GNSS observations by using one GNSS receiver based on the broadcast ephemerides in real time or close to real time. The first algorithm represents the preparation stage for the second one. It classifies the observations by separating the optimal values of position dilution of precision (PDOP) and the number of satellites (NOS), as well as the corresponding values of coordinates. The second stage includes an algorithm based on the artificial neural network (ANN) approach, which is set at the ANN variables that produce the best precision through the applied tests at the present study. Binary numbers, log sigmoid-Purelin, cascade forward net, and one hidden layer with a size of 10 neurons are the optimal variables of ANN inputs format, transfer functions constellations, feedforward net type, and the number of hidden layers (NHL) and its size, respectively. The simulation results show that the designed algorithms produce a significant improvement in the horizontal and vertical components. Lastly, an evaluation stage is performed in the case of dual-frequency observations by using broadcast ephemerides. The simulation outputs indicate that the precision at applying the proposed integration is completely enhanced compared with the outputs of IGS final data.
Geodetic Precession of the Sun, Solar System Planets, and their Satellites
Authors: Pashkevich Vladimir V. , Vershkov Andrey N.
Published: April 2022

The effect of the geodetic precession is the most significant relativistic effect in the rotation of celestial bodies. In this article, the new geodetic precession values for the Sun, the Moon, and the Solar System planets have been improved over the previous version by using more accurate rotational element values. For the first time, the relativistic effect of the geodetic precession for some planetary satellites (J1–J4, S1–S6, S8–S18, U1–U15, N1, and N3–N8) with known quantities of the rotational elements was studied in this research. The calculations of the values of this relativistic effect were carried out by the method for studying any bodies of the Solar System with long-time ephemeris. As a result, the values of the geodetic precession were first determined for the Sun, planets in their rotational elements, and for the planetary satellites in the Euler angles relative to their proper coordinate systems and in their rotational elements. In this study, with respect to the previous version, additional and corrected values of the relativistic influence of Martian satellites (M1 and M2) on Mars were calculated. The largest values of the geodetic rotation of bodies in the Solar System were found in Jovian satellite system. Further, in decreasing order, these values were found in the satellite systems of Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, and Mars, for Mercury, for Venus, for the Moon, for the Earth, for Mars, for Jupiter, for Saturn, for Uranus, for Neptune, and for the Sun. First of all, these are the inner satellites of Jupiter: Metis (J16), Adrastea (J15), Amalthea (J5), and Thebe (J14) and the satellites of Saturn: Pan (S18), Atlas (S15), Prometheus (S16), Pandora (S17), Epimetheus (S11), Janus (S10), and Mimas (S1), whose values of geodetic precession are comparable to the values of their precession. The obtained numerical values for the geodetic precession for the Sun, all the Solar System planets, and their satellites (E1, M1, M2, J1–J5, J14–J16, S1–S6, S8–S18, U1–U15, N1, and N3–N8) can be used to numerically study their rotation in the relativistic approximation and can also be used to estimate the influence of relativistic effects on the orbital–rotational dynamics of bodies of exoplanetary systems.
Why so Serious? An Extraordinary Cone Shell Group from Mycenae and the Problem of Identifying Mycenaean Board Gaming Material
Authors: Pliatsika Vassiliki , Meier Jacqueline S.
Published: April 2022

In 1974 in Room Θ3 of House Θ in the Southwest Quarter of the Mycenae citadel, an extraordinary find came to light: 545 conus mediterraneus ventricosus shells were found together with 12 small objects in a crevice of the bedrock. 353 cones were intentionally pierced and ground, and 9 of them were filled with lead. This assemblage includes the largest collection of cone shells known from the Late Bronze Age Aegean, and it is now possible to attempt an interpretation of its use, after the publication of the Southwest Quarter excavation. The find is examined in detail, in comparison to other large cone shell groups from Mycenaean contexts. The facts suggest that the Θ3 assemblage artefacts could have been markers for a kind of game, for which games of strategy, skill and chance known in the Eastern Mediterranean, are suggested as possible candidates. Under this hypothesis, context finds from the Room Θ3 deposit are also examined. This study highlights the difficulty in identifying the material remains of board games, as well as the need to include the game – being a basic human activity- in the potential interpretations of archaeological records from the Mycenaean period.
Games and Oracular Practices Around the Hearth: The “Table of Offerings” from the so-called Temple 4 at Kition-Kathari (Cyprus)
Authors: Lamaze Jérémy
Published: April 2022

In the sanctuary of Kition-Kathari (Cyprus), a building with benches, identified as a temple (“Temple 4”), is characterized in its centre by a hearth pit next to a trapezoidal stone construction, constituting “Altar E”. The platform’s surface comprises a series of little cup-holes. Once labelled “table of offerings”, it has recently been interpreted as a gaming table. Besides clay gaming stones, this area has yielded knucklebones as well as several deposits of incised scapulae linked with divination practices. This Cypriot context gives us the opportunity to explore and also to put in light the influences and interactions between different regions of the Eastern Mediterranean at the turn of the 1st millennium BC.
Board Games Equipment from Archaeological Contexts in Archaic Attica
Authors: Paleothodoros Dimitris
Published: April 2022

This paper addresses the question of the presence of gaming equipment (painted gaming tables and dice) in Attic tombs of the 7th and 6th century BC. It is argued that this type of funerary goods, whether functional at once, or not, have acquired a specific social and ideological meaning related to the notion of leisure, specifically destined to the upper classes. They first appear in the early 7th century, when such equipment must have been a rarity in mainland Greece, and their use was revived during the first third of the 6th century BC, a period of polarization between the aristocracy and the rest of the Athenian population.
Roman Game Finds from Cremona (Italy)
Authors: Pitcher Lynn Arslan , Bianchi Chiara
Published: April 2022

Finds pertaining to board games have been discovered during excavations in the northern Italian town of Cremona. Some objects were found in the recently published Piazza Marconi dig, in contexts belonging to three domus dated between the late Republic and the early Empire (40 BC - 69 AD). Thirteen black and white glass counters and two ivory dice were found in the remains of a wooden chest of drawers or cabinet in a probable service room of the “Domus del ninfeo”. A bone “Alexandrian” counter incised with a bird in flight and, on the reverse, the Roman numeral II and the Greek number B (beta) was found in the destruction levels following the drastic siege of Cremona by Vespasian troops during the civil war of 69 AD. Finally, a bone token in the form of an elongated parallelepiped (so-called tessera lusoria) with the word FICOSE inscribed on one side and the Roman numeral XIV on the other was found in the construction trench of an early Imperial house discovered during excavations underneath the Cathedral of Cremona. The paper will discuss in detail the finds, their contexts and their meanings.
Catacomb Games: Reused Game Boards or Funerary Inscriptions?
Authors: Schädler Ulrich
Published: April 2022

Several marble slabs fashioned like game boards forXII scripta/Aleacome from Christian catacombs in Rome. Often deliberately cut or fragmented, they were used as funeral slabs. The general opinion is that these game boards have found a secondary use in the funeral context. The present paper presents a critical discussion of this interpretation. The slabs differ in several details from real game boards. Moreover, the inscriptions often betray a distinctive funeral character. Game boards for this game consist of three rows of two groups of six squares, their structure thus being identical to the poetic form of a hexagram. It appears that in Late Antiquity, the hexagram was particularly popular as a formula for funerary inscriptions. Moreover, the symbolic meaning of theXII scripta/Aleagame favoured its use in sepulchral contexts. It seems therefore that at least a certain number, if not most of these “game” boards, were produced as funeral slabs and never used before as game boards in the home of the living.
Contribution of the Open Access Modality to the Impact of Hybrid Journals Controlling by Field and Time Effects
Authors: Dorta-González Pablo , Dorta-González María Isabel
Published: April 2022

Purpose

Researchers are more likely to read and cite papers to which they have access than those that they cannot obtain. Thus, the objective of this work is to analyze the contribution of the Open Access (OA) modality to the impact of hybrid journals.

Design/methodology/approach

The “research articles” in the year 2017 from 200 hybrid journals in four subject areas, and the citations received by such articles in the period 2017–2020 in the Scopus database, were analyzed. The hybrid OA papers were compared with the paywalled ones. The journals were randomly selected from those with share of OA papers higher than some minimal value. More than 60 thousand research articles were analyzed in the sample, of which 24% under the OA modality.

Findings

We obtain at journal level that cites per article in both hybrid modalities (OA and paywalled) strongly correlate. However, there is no correlation between the OA prevalence and cites per article. There is OA citation advantage in 80% of hybrid journals. Moreover, the OA citation advantage is consistent across fields and held in time. We obtain an OA citation advantage of 50% in average, and higher than 37% in half of the hybrid journals. Finally, the OA citation advantage is higher in Humanities than in Science and Social Science.

Research limitations

Some of the citation advantage is likely due to more access allows more people to read and hence cite articles they otherwise would not. However, causation is difficult to establish and there are many possible bias. Several factors can affect the observed differences in citation rates. Funder mandates can be one of them. Funders are likely to have OA requirement, and well-funded studies are more likely to receive more citations than poorly funded studies. Another discussed factor is the selection bias postulate, which suggests that authors choose only their most impactful studies to be open access.

Practical implications

For hybrid journals, the open access modality is positive, in the sense that it provides a greater number of potential readers. This in turn translates into a greater number of citations and an improvement in the position of the journal in the rankings by impact factor. For researchers it is also positive because it increases the potential number of readers and citations received.

Originality/value

Our study refines previous results by comparing documents more similar to each other. Although it does not examine the cause of the observed citation advantage, we find that it exists in a very large sample.
Extracting and Measuring Uncertain Biomedical Knowledge from Scientific Statements
Authors: Guo Xin , Chen Yuming , Du Jian , Dong Erdan
Published: April 2022

Purpose

Given the information overload of scientific literature, there is an increasing need for computable biomedical knowledge buried in free text. This study aimed to develop a novel approach to extracting and measuring uncertain biomedical knowledge from scientific statements.

Design/methodology/approach

Taking cardiovascular research publications in China as a sample, we extracted subject–predicate–object triples (SPO triples) as knowledge units and unknown/hedging/conflicting uncertainties as the knowledge context. We introduced information entropy (IE) as potential metric to quantify the uncertainty of epistemic status of scientific knowledge represented at subject-object pairs (SO pairs) levels.

Findings

The results indicated an extraordinary growth of cardiovascular publications in China while only a modest growth of the novel SPO triples. After evaluating the uncertainty of biomedical knowledge with IE, we identified the Top 10 SO pairs with highest IE, which implied the epistemic status pluralism. Visual presentation of the SO pairs overlaid with uncertainty provided a comprehensive overview of clusters of biomedical knowledge and contending topics in cardiovascular research.

Research limitations

The current methods didn’t distinguish the specificity and probabilities of uncertainty cue words. The number of sentences surrounding a given triple may also influence the value of IE.

Practical implications

Our approach identified major uncertain knowledge areas such as diagnostic biomarkers, genetic polymorphism and co-existing risk factors related to cardiovascular diseases in China. These areas are suggested to be prioritized; new hypotheses need to be verified, while disputes, conflicts, and contradictions need to be settled.

Originality/value

We provided a novel approach by combining natural language processing and computational linguistics with informetric methods to extract and measure uncertain knowledge from scientific statements.
Brief review: Psychological health and life quality of cerebral palsy

Cerebral palsy is the most common cause of disability that develops in infancy. This complex disorder affects adult life in a powerful way. Challenges include performing motor skills and achieving physical capabilities. The majority of individuals also report lifelong psychosocial stressors. Furthermore, mental health issues occur more commonly in this patient subset, as do struggles with employment and education. Often the severity of challenges correlates to the severity of the cerebral palsy. The prognosis of individuals with cerebral palsy has improved over the last three decades, although it continues to be a lifelong condition. In order to promote healthy aging across their lifespan, intervention programs should be considered to improve physical well-being, and care should be taken to maintain mental health.
