Introduction: The concerns regarding the prognosis and quality of life of patients with early breast cancer staging without lymph node involvement have increased, especially with regard to the axillary surgical approach. The aim of the present study was to determine overall survival and disease-free survival according to the axillary surgical approach. Methods: Retrospective cohort study of 827 women with clinical T1-T2N0M0 diagnosis attended at the Cancer Hospital III of the Brazilian National Cancer Institute, from January 2007 to December 2009, with a follow-up period of 60 months. Data were obtained from the Hospital Registry of Cancer through the medical records. Results: 683 women underwent sentinel lymph node biopsy and 144 underwent sentinel lymph node biopsy followed by axillary lymphadenectomy. After 5 years of follow-up, considering adjustment, it was observed overall survival (96.2% vs 93.6%; HR 0.98; 95%CI 0.42–2.29) and disease-free survival (93.7% vs 91.2%; HR 0.78; 95%CI 0.39–1.48) similar among patients undergoing either one or the other approach. In patients with micrometastasis, both overall (93.3%) and diseasefree survival (100%) were higher in women who underwent only sentinel lymph node biopsy compared to those who underwent this procedure followed by axillary lymphadenectomy (OS: 87.5%; DFS: 90,7%), albeit not statistically significant. Conclusions: No difference was observed in overall or disease-free survival in patients with T1-T2N0M0 breast cancer staging according to axillary treatment (sentinel lymph node biopsy followed or not by axillary lymphadenectomy) in 60-month. In addition, no statistically significant differences in overall and disease-free survival were observed in women with sentinel node micrometastasis submitted to any of the approaches within 60 months.

Saúde mental de idosos: uma análise da série Unidade Básica (2016)
Authors: Lacerda Igor
Published: March 2023

Este artigo tem o objetivo de analisar dois episódios da primeira temporada da Unidade Básica (2016), a fim de identificar sentidos sobre a saúde mental de idosos. Esta série televisiva foi divulgada pela Universal Channel e escrita por Helena Petta, Newton Cannito e Ana Petta. Apenas dois episódios compõem o corpus desta pesquisa; os outros foram desconsiderados por não abordarem o tema. O primeiro trata de Vilma, uma idosa que abandonou o autocuidado por causa da depressão, e o quarto fala sobre Eraldo, um idoso que ficou depressivo em razão de problemas financeiros, amorosos e alcoólicos. A análise de narrativas será utilizada como metodologia, possibilitando a identificação e a interpretação crítica dos sentidos sobre idosos e saúde mental. De forma geral, os resultados revelaram que os episódios não seguem uma visão holística, desconsiderando, portanto, a necessidade de cuidar da saúde física e mental das pessoas idosas para lhes proporcionar bem-estar.

Published: March 2023

Aedes aegypti é o principal vetor de dengue, Zika e chikungunya, doenças para as quais não existem vacinas totalmente eficazes. Alternativas de controle visando mitigar essas arboviroses são primordiais. Dentre essas, o controle mecânico aborda práticas de eliminação e/ou limpeza de criadouros do vetor. Neste relato, apresentamos e avaliamos criticamente ações realizadas pelo grupo, ocorridas entre 2016 e 2019, onde divulgamos informação científica clara através do diálogo com a população. Os métodos utilizados foram: 1) Palestras em escolas (público infantojuvenil) utilizando slides, fotos e vídeos; 2) Oficinas (público misto), stand com material in vivo do ciclo de vida do Aedes, jogos e desenhos. Analisamos dez palestras em escolas do ensino fundamental e médio e 20 oficinas realizadas em diferentes regiões do Brasil. Concluímos que tais ações e suas análises críticas devem ser realizadas continuamente para que sejam bem-sucedidas.

Published: March 2023

O estudo apresentado neste artigo analisou a confiabilidade das informações postadas nos principais grupos brasileiros de discussão sobre covid-19 encontrados no Facebook. Os grupos (abertos e fechados) foram identificados a partir dos descritores: “covid 19”; “covid 19 Brasil”; “coronavírus”; “coronavírus Brasil”. Os grupos com maior número de membros (n = 10) foram selecionados para o estudo, assim como as dez publicações mais recentes de cada um deles, desde que se referissem aos temas-chave relacionados à covid-19: prevenção, tratamento e contágio. Para verificar a confiabilidade da informação expressa no conteúdo disseminado, as postagens que continham notícias sobre a doença foram submetidas à inspeção e comparadas a fontes confiáveis (técnica fact checking), como guias e manuais referentes à covid-19. Dentre todas as publicações analisadas (n = 100) apenas quatro foram identificadas como notícias falsas, sendo duas sobre tratamento, uma sobre contágio e uma sobre sequelas.  Todas as notícias consideradas inverídicas foram classificadas como notícias fabricadas, construídas com um título sensacionalista e apelativo para atrair a atenção dos usuários. No entanto, os conteúdos identificados como falsos promoveram poucas interações entre os membros dos grupos. No estudo, as informações de caráter noticioso encontradas em grupos no Facebook sobre covid-19 foram, em sua maioria, confiáveis, sugerindo que os filtros online das redes sociais para identificar e retirar notícias falsas de circulação podem ser uma ferramenta útil para o combate à disseminação de fake news.

Published: March 2023

Perkembangan perusahaan yang semakin pesat membuat perusahaan harus mampu mempertahankan eksisitensinya misalnya dengan  melakukan beberapa cara untuk meluaskan dan membesarkan perusahannya. Perusahaan yang berbentuk Perseroan Terbatas (PT) yang tujuannya adalah mendapat keuntungan akan melakukan beberapa cara misalnya dengan proses strukturisasi perusahaan melalui penggabungan (merger),  peleburan (konsolidasi) dan pengambilalihan (akuisisi). Sebagaimana diketahui bahwa perseroan terdiri dari organ perseroan yang salah satunya adalah pemegang saham. Pemegang saham pada sebuah PT mempunyai hak dan kewajiban yang timbul karena akibat kepemilikan saham terhadap PT tersebut. Hak suara dalam sebuah PT berbanding lurus dengan kepemilikan saham sehingga nilai saham yang dimiliki oleh tiap pemegang saham, berpengaruh dalam mengambil sebuah kebijakan dalam Rapat Umum Pemegang Saham (RUPS). Keputusan PT tentu diambil berdasarkan suara mayoritas yang menimbulkan pertanyaan bagaimana perlindugan hukum terhadap pemegang saham minoritas khususnya pada perseroan terbatas yang go public yang tentunya memiliki banyak pemegang saham minoritas. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode penelitian normatif dengan pengumpulan bahan melalui studi kepustakaan. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, PT dalam pengambilan keputusan hendaknya memberikan perlindungan kepada pemegang saham minoritas dengan prinsip majority rule and minority protection. Artinya yang berkuasa tetap pemegang saham mayoritas tetapi sedapat mungkin juga harus memperhatikan kepentingan pemegang saham minoritas. Meskipun terdapat beberapa ketentuan dalam UUPT yang ditujukan untuk melindungi kepentingan pemegang saham minoritas, namun cara terbaik adalah dengan melakukan tindakan preventif atau pencegahan. Untuk itu, seluruh stakeholders dalam perseroan haruslah mengedepankan prinsip good corporate governance.

Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi perkara nomor 91/PUU-XVIII/2020 pada tanggal 25 November 2021 yang menguji konstitusionalitas pembentukan Undang-Undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2020 Tentang Cipta Kerja, secara otomatis demi hukum mempengaruhi keberlakuan Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 36 Tahun 2021 Tentang Pengupahan sebagai aturan teknis administrative kebijakan pengupahan diatur di Indonesia. Kebijakan pengupahan merupakan kebijakan strategis nasional yang bertujuan mewujudkan hak pekerja atas penghidupan yang layak bagi kemanusiaan. Hal ini disebabkan upah merupakan sumber penghasilan yang dimiliki oleh pekerja untuk mencapai derajat penghidupan yang layak bagi dirinya dan keluarganya. Pemerintah menyikapi Putusan ini dengan tetap memberlakukan Undang-Undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2020 Tentang Cipta Kerja termasuk Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 36 Tahun 2021 Tentang Pengupahan walaupun telah diperintahkan untuk ditangguhkan keberlakuannya sampai dengan pembentuk undang-undang memperbaiki proses pembentukan Undang-Undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2020 Tentang Cipta Kerja. Terlebih Pemerintah melalui Kementerian Ketenagakerjaan mengeluarkan Peraturan Menteri Ketenagakerjaan Republik Indonesia Nomor 18 Tahun 2022 Tentang Penetapan Upah Minimum Tahun 2023 sebagai dasar dalam menetapkan upah minimum tahun 2023 yang akan mengakibatkan ketidakpastian hukum dalam penetapan upah minimum tahun 2023. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode normatif dengan mengacu kepada norma-norma hukum yang terdapat dalam peraturan perundang-undangan maupun putusan pengadilan.

AbstrakSalah satu kebijakan pemerintah dalam pemerataan pembangunan adalah program dana desa yang dikelola langsung oleh pemerintahan desa. Namun  menurut Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW) Dana Desa sangat rawan penyalahgunaan. Selama tahun 2021 terdapat 154  dan nilai kerugian sebesar Rp.233. Oleh sebab itu perlu upaya untuk pencegahan terjadinya tindak pidana korupsi dalam pengelolaan dana desa. Dalam upaya pemberantasan  korupsi Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa (PBB), melalui  United Nation Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC) Tahun 2003 mengamanatkan perlunya mengebangkan kebijakan kontrol sosial yang melibatkan peranserta masyarakat. Di Sumatera Barat, pengelolaan dana desa sebagian besarnya dilasanakan oleh pemerintahan nagari sesuai dengan otonomi yang dimiliki. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan dengan metode penelitian hukum sosiologis yakni untuk melihat penerapan hukum secara konkrit (in conctreto) di tengah masyarakat. Penelitian menghimpun data primer di pemerintahan nagari. Data yang terkumpul akan diolah secara kualitatif. Wawancara dilakukan dengan narasumber yang ada di nagari yakni dengan pemuka masyarakat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa partisipasi masyarakat dalam pengelolaan dana desa dilaksanakan di semua tahapan, baik dalam perencanaan melalui Musrembang, dan dalam pelaksanan. Partisipasi dalam pengawasan dilaksanakan sesuai dengan aturan negara dan aturan hukum adat yang ada di nagari melibatkan semu komponen nagari. Partisipasi masyarakat dalam pengelolaan nagari sangat urgen dalam keberhasil pengelolaan dana desa karena perencanaannya sesuai dengan aspirasi masyarakat. Partisipasi masyarakat perlu dioptimalkan melalui suatu sistem partisipasi masyarakat secara lebih komprehensif.
Derivation matrix in mechanics – data approach
Authors: Kožar Ivica , Plovanić Marina , Sulovsky Tea
Published: March 2023

Existence of data allows use of solution methods for differential equations that would otherwise be inapplicable. The solution process for this is formalized by using derivation matrices that reduce the time necessary for derivation and solving of differential equations. Derivation matrices are formulated by applying numerical methods in matrix notation, like finite difference schemes. In this work, a novel formulation is developed based on Lagrange polynomials with special care taken at boundary points in order to persevere a uniform precision. The main advantage of the approach is straightforward formulation, clear engineering insight into the process and (almost) arbitrary precision through choice of the interpolation order. The result of this procedure is the derivation matrix of the dimension [n×n], where 'n' is the number of data points. The resulting matrix is singular (of rank 'n-1') until boundary/initial conditions are introduced. However, that does not prevent the user to successfully differentiate its unknown function represented with the recorded data points. Derivation matrix approach is easily applicable to a wide range of engineering problems. This methodology could be extended to dynamic systems with multiple degrees of freedom and adapted when velocities or accelerations are recorded instead of displacements.
Energy dissipation characteristics of an in-chamber longitudinal culvert system with three-layer side ports designed for a large-scale lock with 60m water head
Authors: Chen Ming , Zhou Xusheng , Li Rengmin , Li Xueyi
Published: March 2023

With the rapid development of the water transportation industry in China, the scale of ships navigating in the inland waterway is increasing. However, the water head formed by dams is very high, especially for the hydroelectric projects constructed in the upper mountain river. Therefore, it is critically urgent to build several high-head and large-scale locks. Moreover, when the water head is increased to 60 m, huge water energy could be generated and then introduced into the corresponding lock chamber if the valve operating time is limited. This paper presented the in-chamber longitudinal culvert system with three-layer side ports to efficiently dissipate the water energy to ensure safe mooring conditions for ships during a lock operation. A three-dimensional CFD model for 1/4 local region of the corresponding chamber was developed to predict its hydraulic behavior. The numerical simulations were conducted to examine the effect of the vertical spacing between side ports on the energy dissipation result. Results showed that good energy dissipation performance was gained when the relative vertical spacing was set B/D=0.25 (B is the vertical spacing between side ports, D is the inner height of the culvert). Furthermore, the energy dissipation mechanism of this arrangement was presented based on the results of a three-dimensional hydraulic characteristic. In addition, the corresponding dissipation result of the present arrangement was compared with those of the single-layer and two-layer side ports. The dissipation performance of the present design was found to be the best if all the side ports’ cross-section area of each arrangement keeps the same.

Defensive Style in Bioenergetic Therapy
Authors: Ure Laurie
Published: March 2023

The concept of defensive style provides a rich addition to the understanding of our clients and the factors which inhibit their joy in life and satisfaction in relationships. Defensive style differs from character structure. But, like character structure, it can be viewed through observations of a client’s body in addition to memories of childhood relational experiences. This paper explores the lens of defensive style, explains how it differs from character structure, and includes bioenergetic methods to observe defensive style in a client. It includes the work of Len Carlino along with a diagnostic tool by Schroeter and Thomson. Case examples of using this understanding to help clients are sprinkled throughout. The paper ends with a tribute to Len Carlino, Ph.D, IIBA International Trainer, for his valuable reminder that working through defensive style and character structure require a life long commitment.

Bakteri Patogen pada Ikan Nila (Oreocrhomis niloticus): a review
Authors: Fikri Muh.
Published: March 2023

Tilapia (Oreocrhomis niloticus) is one of the most farmed fish because of its ability to adapt to high environments. Tilapia farming is strongly influenced by fish diseases that may occur due to environmental changes. Cultivation of O. niloticus faces several problems associated with the emergence of pathogenic bacteria and causes high money losses. Diseases can be caused by several types of pathogens such as fungi, parasites, viruses and bacteria. Some types of pathogenic bacteria commonly found in tilapia are Aeromonas hydrophila, Corynebacterium sp., Enterobacteria sp., Listeria sp., Pseudomonas sp., Edwardsiella sp., dan Streptococcus sp. This study aims to determine potential pathogenic bacteria in tilapia (O. niloticus). Therefore, identification of pathogenic bacterial species in tilapia is very important so that problem prevention is obtained as early as possible against the attack of these bacteria.
Hints of Multi-fold Dark Matter Effects in the Universe
Authors: Maes Stephane
Published: March 2023

In a multi-fold universe, gravity emerges from Entanglement through the multi-fold mechanisms. As a result, gravity-like effects appear in-between entangled particles, whether they be real or virtual. Long range, massless gravity results from entanglement of massless virtual particles. Entanglement of massive virtual particles leads to massive gravity contributions at very smalls scales. Multi-folds mechanisms also result into a spacetime that is discrete, with a random walk fractal structure and non-commutative geometry that is Lorentz invariant, and where spacetime nodes and particles can be modeled with microscopic black holes. All these recover General Relativity (GR) at large scales and semi-classical models remain valid till smaller scale than usually expected. Gravity can therefore be added to the Standard Model resulting into what we define as SMG. This can contribute to resolving several open issues with the Standard Model without New Physics other than gravity, i.e. no new particles or forces, or with the standard cosmological model (ΛCDM) in terms of dark matter and dark energy. These considerations hint at an even stronger relationship between gravity and the Standard Model. Multi-folds can be encountered in GR at Plank scales, in spacetime quantization starting from the Hilbert Einstein action, and in the equivalence principle of suitable quantum reference frames in relational quantum physics. Conversely, GR and Quantum physics, including path integrals, the Born rule, and wave functions, can be recovered through different paths from multi-fold spacetime reconstruction and the W-type multi-fold hypothesis. In a multi-fold universe, GR and Quantum Physics are not incompatible, they are just different facets of multi-fold mechanisms, something that neither theory can well model.Several multi-fold papers have emphasized how multi-fold dark matter effects qualitatively fit recent observations, especially when it comes to the recent observations of galaxies without dark matter. In the present paper, we show that the excess of disk galaxies observed versus simulations, and the hints of dark matter halos “expanding” with time, are fully consistent multi-fold dark matter mechanisms. Considering the recent theoretical encounters of multifold mechanisms with GR at Planck scales, this is very important as multi-fold dark matter effects contributions would be a best candidate to validate the link between quantum entanglement and gravity fluctuations due to multi-fold, and therefore confirm the E/G Conjecture as factual in our real universe.

Role of Honor, Dignity and Face Values in Transitional Justice in Post-Conflict Cyprus
Authors: Psaltis Charis , Kirchner-Häusler Alexander , Uskul Ayse , Kovras Iosif , Eleftheriou Androulla
Published: March 2023

Transitional justice can help secure some level of justice for victims of human rights violations and reinforce the possibilities for peace, democracy, and reconciliation in societies that have experienced human rights abuses. Despite growing literature on the drives of transitional justice, little emphasis has been paid to the role of culture on shaping transitional justice preferences. The primary objective of the paper was to test the role of honor, face and dignity values in preferences for transitional justice in the context of post-conflict Cyprus. The major hypothesis tested was that honor values would be predictive of retributive (and not reconciliatory) justice preferences over and above any reconciliation related attitudes and intergroup contact. We recruited 450 Greek Cypriots in Cyprus, part of the Mediterranean region characterized by salience of honor values. They completed a questionnaire including measures assessing transitional justice preferences, honor, face and dignity values and other well-known predictors of transitional justice preferences concerning reconciliation attitudes (intergroup contact, trust, prejudice) and demographic variables. Analyses revealed that honor and dignity values predicted retributive justice preferences over and above other reconciliation related variables. Although not significant, there was suggestive evidence that face values predicted transitional justice in the opposite way to honor and dignity values.

Published: March 2023

Job satisfaction is the crucial requirement for ensuring the efficient operation of the organization. Several scholars across various fields have used the construct of job satisfaction as a focus of their research. This study is aims to identify the factors affecting the job satisfaction of employees. Among the 585 employees working in Bhaktapur Municipality, 100 employees were selected based on disproportionate stratified sampling to collect information using structured questionnaire. Descriptive and analytical research design was used. Correlation and regression analyses were used to check the hypothesis. The findings indicate different factors like the working environment, the task itself, job security, wages, pay, and grades have a significant effect on job satisfaction, whereas recognition and supervision have a positive but insignificant effect on it. Among different factors, wages, pay, and grades have a higher effect on job satisfaction. This study provides a roadmap for higher authorities to apply different techniques to satisfy their employees.

Antifungal activity of essential oils against Macrophomina phaseolina
 
ABSTRACT: Macrophomina phaseolina is a soil‐borne phytopathogen with has a wide geographical distribution, being responsible for causing serious economic losses inciting stem and root rot symptoms of infected plants. There is a growing worldwide demand for new treatments that promote food and nutritional security, with substances that are more effective and less harmful to the balance of ecosystems. Thus, this research aimed to evaluate the in vitro antifungal effect of essential oils (EOs) on the mycelial growth of M. phaseolina. The EOs used were tested at doses 0.8; 1.6; 3.2; 6.4 and 12.8 μL per surface of the PDA (potato-dextrose-agar) culture medium. Mycelial growth inhibition and mycelial growth rate were analyzed. The evaluations consisted of measurements of the growth diameters with 3 and 6 days of incubation. The cinnamon EO, from the initial tested concentration; oregano and cloves EOs, at a concentration of 3.2 μL demonstrated antifungal activity against M. phaseolina. The EOs of basil, tea tree, citronella, mint and thyme showed a fungistatic activity. Ginger and sweet Orange EOs inhibited less than 40% of mycelial growth. The complete inhibition of mycelial growth was achieved with cinnamon, oregano and clove EOs, therefore, they presented potential for use as a biofungicide agent.

Published: March 2023

Image time series produced by remote sensing are crucial for monitoring land use and land cover assessments and transitions over space and time. In this context, the objective of this study was to analyze the temporal behavior of NDVI from multisensors during the years 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 in a commercial reforestation of Tectona grandis L. f., in the municipality of Cáceres – Mato Grosso (MT). To obtain the data, we used images from the TERRA satellite, MODIS sensor, product MOD13Q1, available with spatial resolution of 250 meters. The LANDSAT5/TM images were obtained from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) database, with the approximate possible dates from the MOD13Q1 images. We observed teak temporal behavior, highlighting the existence of two well-defined dry and rainy periods. Remote sensing can be useful to add spatial and spectral information related to teak reforestation monitoring.
A Critical Study on John Cheever’s The Swimmer within the Context of Narrative Theory
Authors: İŞÇİ Veysel
Published: March 2023

John Cheever is a remarkable American short story writer and novelist. He is recognized as one of the most significant short story authors of the previous century. His themes mainly involve the duality of human nature which is usually illustrated through the chasm between a character's comme il faut communal character and interior degradation. Most of his works also reflect nostalgia for a disappearing life style, demonstrated by following cultural customes and a deep communal feeling, in contrast to the estranging nomadism of contemporary backstreets. Being Cheever's most popular story, The Swimmer (1964) represents these backsteet stories, which discover the glory and sufferings of people living within the chaos of a so-called peaceful American suburbia. Mostly considered as Cheever's best work, The Swimmer mixes legend and reality while narrating Neddy Merrill's realtivley long trip along the pools of Westchester County. In this study, The Swimmer will be analysed in terms of major narrative theories in order to examine how authorial preferences support major themes and motifs within the short story. To do so, the study sets out to reveal narrative agents and their voices, analyse representation of consciousness, and finally discuss post-modern reality in American fiction.
У ПОЕТИЧНОМУ СВІТІ ЛЮБОВІ (ЛІРИКА МАРІЇ ВАЙНО)
Authors: Хороб М. Б.
Published: March 2023

Марія Вайно – відома майстриня сучасної новели («Шкіци на одвірках» (2011), «Станіславські фрески» (2012), романів у новелах («Теплий двір, або Рапсодія струнного квартету»(2001), «Пасіонарія» (2012), «Нотатки її життя, або Кохання в запропонованих обставинах» (2020), «Редакторка» (2022), кіносценаріїв («Чоловік у кредит, або Четвертий варіант» (2000 та ін.), посібника «Сценарна майстерність» (2015), всього двадцять видань). Власне, за найкращі із них письменниця була удостоєна звання лауреатки міської та обласної премій в галузі літератури, відповідно, імені Івана Франка та імені Василя Стефаника, Всеукраїнської – імені Григора Тютюнника, двічі лауреатки Всеукраїнського конкурсу «Коронація слова» в номінаціях «кіносценарій» і «проза». Та починала свою творчість із лірики. Мета статті: оскільки на сьогодні відсутнє синтезоване осмислення поезій авторки (за винятком окремих відгуків на першу чи другу збірку (скажімо, Є.Барана, Р.Михайловського та здебільшого інформативного плану повідомлення про презентації в місцевій періодиці), то доцільно проаналізувати поетичні книги Марії Вайно «Терпкість» (1992), «Нитка Аріадни» (1999) та «Ужгородський цикл» (2018), простеживши динаміку емоційного світу ліричної героїні від початку творчості авторки, що припадає на останнє десятиліття ХХ віку, до кінця другого десятиліття ХХІ століття. Методи дослідження: конкретно-історичний, герменевтичний, а також рецептивної естетики. Наукова новизна: вперше в літературознавчій науці синтезовано осмислено внутрішній світ ліричної героїні, рух її почувань, мотивну та образну сферу лірики Марії Вайно. Практичне значення статті полягає у тому, що її результати можуть бути використані під час дослідження загалом творчості Марії Вайно як початку літературного шляху та типологічного зіставлення з доробком інших творців лірики чи із прозовим набутком авторки.
ЄВРОПЕЙСЬКА ТРАДИЦІЯ ЖАНРУ СІМЕЙНОГО РОМАНУ-ХРОНІКИ В УКРАЇНСЬКІЙ ПРОЗІ: СПЕЦИФІКА РОМАННОГО МИСЛЕННЯ
Authors: Руднянин О. І.
Published: March 2023

У статті досліджено традицію жанру сімейного роману-хроніки в українській літературі, що розвинувся в творчості Г. Квітки-Основ’яненка, А. Свидницького, У. Самчука, О. Стороженка, Ірини Вільде, Ю. Косача, а також простежено розвиток цього виду роману в світовій літературі. У статті також вивчено теоретичні аспекти цього жанру, наголошено на специфіці історизму та особливостях лінійної побудови сюжету.
Особлива романна форма – сімейний роман привертає виняткову увагу дослідників та має уже помітну традицію як в українській, так і світовій літературі. У літературознавстві на позначення сімейного роману-хроніки зустрічаються жанрові визначення «сімейний роман», «родинний роман», «родинна хроніка», «епопея», «сімейна епопея», «роман поколінь», однак найбільш точно жанрові особливості такої романної форми відображає термін «сімейний роман-хроніка». Центральною темою цього виду роману є занепад роду, крім того автори творів подібного типу постійно роблять спроби трансформації жанру в більш сучасні форми за допомогою використання міфологічних парадигм, психологізму та фрагментації, зберігаючи при цьому давні традиції романної оповіді. Константними ознаками жанру вважаємо тему роду в усіх його можливих проєкція: становлення, об’єднання і розпаду. Специфікою хронотопу такого типу романів виступає рух, зміна поколінь в контексті певної історичної епохи, тобто історичну добу зображено крізь призму життя конкретної особистості.
Характерними особливостями цієї романної форми вважаємо поєднання історії життя окремої людини з життям та історією всього суспільства. Специфіка романного мислення в жанрі сімейного роману-хроніки полягає у формуванні зображення закономірностей суспільно-історичних змін, що проявляються у становленні героя, особливостях його соціального життя і психології.
СТИЛІСТИКА ЕРОТИЧНОГО ПИСЬМА ФРЕДЕРІКА БЕГБЕДЕ
Authors: Бігун О. А. , Ковбанюк М. І.
Published: March 2023

Мета. Метою статті є дослідження еротичного дискурсу творчості Ф. Бегбеде як складника естетики та поетики постпостмодернізму. Дослідницька методика. Теоретико-методологічна база дослідження ґрунтується на працях Г. Маркузе, М. Мерло-Понті, наукових студіях психоаналітиків (З. Фройд, А. Адлер, К.-Г. Юнг), вітчизняних розвідках щодо аспекту еротичного (В. Агеєвої, Л. Мудрак, Н. Опришко).
Результати. З’ясовано, що брутальність та грубий сексизм є стильовою ознакою творів Ф. Бегбеде, коли в основу покладено секс як безпосередню фізіологічну акцію. З іншого боку, у творах французького прозаїка оприявнено складні зв’язки між лібідо і сублімацією, інтенсивні пошуки їх гармонізації у драматичних колізіях біологічної і психічної сфер людського існування. Стилістика еротичного письма Ф. Бегбеде вирізняється специфічною емоційність, яка втілена широкою палітрою художніх засобів: метафори, метонімії, фразеологізми, порівняння, вульгаризми, включення наказового способу тощо. Наукова новизна. У статті на конкретних прикладах з’ясована специфіка апології тілесності у творах Ф. Бегбеде, яка призводить до специфічного трактування любові, в основі якого лежить цинізм як засіб порятунку у світі втрачених цінностей. Практичне значення. Стаття може бути використана для подальшого дослідження стилістичних аспектів ідіостилю Ф. Бегбеде. Наукові результати дослідження можуть бути корисними під час написання курсових, дипломних та інших наукових робіт.
KINDER IM NACHKRIEGS-WIEN IN JOSEPH ROTHS FEUILLETONS VON 1919/20
Authors: Монолатій Т. П.
Published: March 2023

Стаття присвячена дослідженню особливостей зображення класиком австрійської літератури ХХ ст., уродженцем Бродів на Галичині Йозефом Ротом (1894–1939), місця і ролі дітей в умовах повоєнного Відня на сторінках ліво-ліберальної місцевої газети «Der Neue Tag» у 1919–1920 рр. Зовнішнім тлом досліджуваної проблеми є розпад національно-державного порядку довоєнної Європи, руйнування колишніх ціннісних і культурних структур, долі «втраченого покоління». Стверджується, що ці чинники відображали ситуацію бездомності, абсолютної відчуженості і порожнечі в індивідуальному, соціальному і метафізичному сенсі безіменних героїв фейлетонів Й. Рота, які можна розглядати як авторську журналістську реакцію на соціальні проблеми досліджуваного хронотопу. Зазначається, що більшість з проаналізованих текстів Й. Рота опубліковані у тематичній газетній рубриці «віденські симптоми», присвяченій зокрема описові проблеми дітей найбідніших і найнезахищеніших верств міського населення столиці Австрійської Республіки. Як журналіст Й. Рот вказує на жалюгідні умови їхнього життя, соціальне страждання і власне обурення бездіяльністю інститутів влади щодо фактів невідвідування дітьми-сиротами закладів освіти. Підкреслюється, що Й. Рот у проаналізованих фейлетонах висловлювався з величезним ентузіазмом про освітню реформу 1919–1934 рр. австрійського політика соціал-демократа, реформатора шкільної освіти Отто Ґльокеля, вважаючи, що її реалізація змінить австрійську молодь, яка протистоятиме крайнім політичним ідеологіям. З’ясовується, що на підставі вивчення досвіду окремих сімей у фейлетонах Й. Рота можна стверджувати про певну закономірність розвитку майбутнього дітей, їхньої фактичної приреченості повторювати долю своїх батьків. Результати дослідження. Висновується, що зображення дітей в умовах повоєнного Відня у фейлетонах майбутнього австрійського класика можна вважати особливим прикладом переплетіння тогочасних проблем моралі, локальної політики та шкільної освіти, детермінованого суб’єктивізмом Й. Рота як журналіста-початківця.
