'For it is improper to be addicted to the tedium of affliction': Christian Responses to Pandemic in Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages
Authors: Dunn Geoffrey David
Published: November 2021

The current COVID-19 pandemic has seen some turn to the past to see if the historical evidence provides any assistance to forecasting the probable duration and intensity of the disease and the length of time until a vaccine or cure is found. In this paper, on the contrary, the aim is to look to the present situation to help understand the past. The current pandemic, which seems impossible to halt even as vaccines start to roll out, and threatens to destroy the way people interact with one another and provide for their families has undermined confidence in the progress of medical science and the human mastery over the natural world. The fear and helplessness that has come in its wake is much the way people in previous centuries felt in the face of rampant and uncontrollable disease. In this paper several episodes of the first bubonic plague, known as the plague of Justinian, that lasted from the sixth to eighth centuries, as reported by Gregory I, bishop of Rome, and Gregory, bishop of Tours, both active at the end of the sixth century, will be explored. In light of our own experience of vulnerability because of the impotence of modern medicine so far to offer protection, we are better able to appreciate the reaction of people who lived in Lombard Italy and Merovingian France to intractable natural disaster.
Kontakty mnichów ze światem pozaklasztornym wedle Wczesnych Reguł Monastycznych z Galii
Authors: Bekus Ewelina , Majewski Łukasz
Published: November 2021

Tematem artykułu są kontakty mnichów ze światem pozaklasztornym według Wczesnych Reguł Monastycznych z Galii. W swojej pracy odnosimy się zatem do Reguły Czterech Ojców, Drugiej Reguły Ojców, Reguły św. Makarego, Reguły Wschodniej i Trzeciej Reguły Ojców. Reguły te zawierają zasady, które określają organizację życia zakonnego, w tym również sprawy związane z kontaktami ze światem poza jego murami. Analizujemy zatem kwestie dotyczące przyjmowania nowych mnichów do wspólnoty, kontaktów z pielgrzymami, przyjmowania gości ze stanu duchownego, przenoszenia się braci pomiędzy klasztorami, wyjść mnichów poza mury klasztoru czy kontaktów z kobietami. Według Wczesnych Reguł Monastycznych z Galii takie kontakty mogły być niebezpieczne dla duchowości braci, a także mogły przeszkadzać w osiągnięciu przez nich nadrzędnych celów – służeniu Bogu i dążeniu do zbawienia
Λῃσταί w świetle źródeł literackich przełomu er (I wiek przed Chrystusem i I wiek po Chrystusie)
Authors: Szczur Piotr
Published: November 2021

W tym artykule ukazano zakres semantyczny i odcienie znaczeniowe rzeczownika λῃστής w greckiej literaturze powstałej w I wieku przed Chrystusem i I wieku po Chrystusie, co pozwoliło na dogłębne przedstawienie zjawiska bandytyzmu w tym okresie. W opracowaniu poddano analizie zarówno pisma autorów pogańskich, jak i żydowskich oraz teksty nowotestamentalne, w których pojawia się słowo λῃστής. Z przeprowadzonych analiz wynika, że w starożytnej literaturze greckiej pierwotnie rzeczownik λῃστής przybierał zarówno negatywne odcienie znaczeniowe, jak i pozytywne, gdyż określał nie tylko rozbójnika, który siłą zagrabiał cudzą własność, lecz także wojownika (lub najemnika), który w wyniku walki z wrogiem zdobywał łup wojenny, co było jego prawem. Jednak w późniejszym czasie – zwłaszcza w literaturze analizowanej w niniejszym opracowaniu – na pierwszy plan wysuwają się denotacje sensu malo. Autorzy greccy przełomu er posługują się rzeczownikiem λῃστής na określenie wszelkiego rodzaju złoczyńców. Przede wszystkim termin ten odnoszą do bandytów i rozbójników, zwłaszcza działających w zorganizowanych bandach i napadających na podróżnych oraz na ludzkie osiedla w celu dokonania grabieży mienia, a nawet dokonania zabójstw. Określają nim też buntowników, wywrotowców i „rewolucjonistów” występujących przeciw zwierzchniej władzy, co szczególnie widoczne jest w pismach Józefa Flawiusza.
Patrystyczne podstawy personalistyczno-znakowej koncepcji cudu Mariana Ruseckiego
Authors: Mastej Jacenty
Published: November 2021

Celem studium jest ukazanie patrystycznych podstaw personalistyczno-znakowej koncepcji cudu ks. profesora Mariana Ruseckiego (1942-2012), najwybitniejszego znawcy tej problematyki w Polsce na przełomie XX i XXI wieku. Teolog z Lublina budowanie holistycznej teologii cudu rozpoczął od wnikliwej analizy źródeł biblijnych oraz patrystycznych. W artykule przedstawiono syntezę trzech głównych kwestie patrystycznych podejmowanych przez Ruseckiego, a mianowicie: funkcji cudu w apologii wczesnego Kościoła, koncepcji cudu św. Augustyna oraz pedagogicznych funkcji cudu wskazanych przez św. Grzegorza I Wielkiego. Natomiast w ostatnim punkcje zaprezentowano główne elementy personalistyczno-znakowej koncepcji cudu profesora z Lublina: personalistyczne rozumienie cudu, znakowe jego ujmowanie oraz wyeksponowanie obok funkcji motywacyjnej, także funkcji objawieniowej, chrystologicznej, zbawczej, eklezjotwórczej i pisteologicznej. Przeprowadzone badania pozwalają stwierdzić, że Rusecki profesjonalnie rozwija oraz pogłębia teologiczną refleksję nad problematyką cudu, którą na bazie biblijnej zapoczątkowali pisarze pierwszych wieków chrześcijaństwa. Ze szczególną estymą korzysta on z twórczości św. Augustyna.

Authors: Angulo Caicedo Geraldin , Castaño González Esther Julia , Holguín Laura Manuela
Published: November 2021

Teniendo en cuenta el auge tomado en los últimos años por la comunicación y la psicología en el ámbito organizacional, la presente investigación se interesó en la relación entre estas dos disciplinas en el contexto de una organización tan compleja como lo es un hospital. Por tanto, el propósito principal se enfocó en identificar el aporte de las prácticas de comunicación organizacional al bienestar laboral, la motivación y al sentido de pertenencia de los empleados de un Hospital de baja complejidad del departamento del Valle del Cauca. La metodología aplicada fue cualitativa; los instrumentos fueron diseñados por las investigadoras, al no existir cuestionarios validados sobre las diferentes variables trabajadas. Aunque dentro de los resultados aparece que el aporte de dichas prácticas a los factores bienestar laboral, motivación y sentido de pertenencia es poco, se debe aclarar que la comunicación en la institución objeto de estudio no está bien enfocada, lo que permeó el resultado.

Authors: Huang Yue , Liu Jian , Wu Yuedong , Duan Yuanmin
Published: November 2021

In order to explore the polymerization mechanism of granite residual soil, geopolymer containing fly ash, various particle groups, granite residual soil and their composites were prepared with different materials. Sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate are used as alkali activators. In this paper, the compressive strength of geopolymer was studied. The mineral composition and microstructure were tested and analyzed by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope. The results show that geopolymerization can only occur in fine particles due to the presence of amorphous aluminosilicate in granite residual soil. The zeolite phase transition of low polymer in fine-grained reaction is beneficial to enhance the integrity of the sample and improve its compressive strength. The addition of fly ash can accelerate the geopolymerization rate and improve the strength of fine geopolymer, but it can inhibit the occurrence of zeolite phase transformation.

Published: November 2021

The measurement of farmland irrigation water efficiency is an important part of the evaluation of agricultural water saving. Since the method of econometrics research on the relationship between input and output was introduced to the evaluation of irrigation water efficiency, it has provided a new perspective for evaluating irrigation water efficiency. This study takes Guizhou in southwest China as an example, using the SFA method to calculate the technical efficiency of food production and irrigation water from 2011 to 2018, and compares the technical efficiency of irrigation water with the measured irrigation water effective utilization coefficient analysis. The analysis shows that: (1) Guizhou’s multi-year average irrigation water technical efficiency value is 0.730, and the difference between cities is large. 20.8% of the urban irrigation water technical efficiency is lower than the average level, and there is a large water saving potential; (2) The correlation coefficient between the irrigation water technical efficiency calculated by the SFA method and the measured irrigation water effective utilization coefficient is 0.804, which is highly positively correlated, and the simulation calculation validity is 70.6%; (3) The SFA method can provide an effective reference for the study of the change trend of the effective utilization coefficient of farmland irrigation water in the absence of measured data.

Published: November 2021

The management and protection of catchment water resource are effective measures to promote the harmonious coexistence of human and nature, and accelerate the construction of ecological civilization. Effective storage, management, and retrieval of large spatial temporal data in catchment water resource are facing enormous challenges. At the same time, higher requirements are put forward for data concurrent access support capability and security reliability. Therefore, it is urgent to carry out research on intelligent management and control of large spatial temporal data in catchment water resource. This paper develops a hybrid architecture storage and retrieval system for large spatial temporal data of catchment water resource, which solves the problems of efficient storage and retrieval of massive multi-source heterogeneous data and concurrent access support. Combined with the technical specifications of water resources and geographic information related countries and industries, the existing water-related management system is migrated and integrated by using the “one-source-one-repository” model, avoiding repeated collection and storage of observation data, improving data consistency, and facilitating data sharing among various subsystems. HBase-based tile pyramid storage is used to implement fast visual display and query of data. Metadata model based on MongoDB document model is used to simplify metadata description. At the same time, the Elasticsearch search engine is used to build metadata full-text index, which provides multiple matching methods such as exact matching, fuzzy search, and range query. Spatial vector feature data storage model is established based on GeoJSON and MongoDB, build spatial index, design auxiliary index to accelerate data query and filtering, design sharing strategy in shared replication cluster, balance the contradiction between data distribution and query efficiency.

Types and Functions of Repetition in the Works of Howard Phillips Lovecraft
Authors: Tatarincev N. S.
Published: November 2021

Introduction. Issues of the author’s writing style, means and methods of constructing an individual author’s artistic picture of the world have always been in the focus of attention of researchers. The object of this paper is H. P. Lovecraft’s stories, which are part of horror literature. The subject of the paper is repetition, which plays a special role in a literary text as a means of artistic expression. Conducting research is relevant for several reasons, like interest in the consideration of the functional aspects of the literary text as a whole, or to H. P. Lovecraft’s works in particular, as the horror genre of literature is one of the most popular in modern society. The purpose of this study is to identify the most productive types of repetitions and their pragmatic functions in the H. P. Lovecraft’s stories.Methodology and sources. General methods of this research are functional analysis of repetitions, supplemented by the quantitative method. Repetitions used in the stories are separated and analyzed based on their following functions: pragmatic focus, emotivity and rhythmization. The material of the study was the following works of the author: “Dagon”, “Beyond the Wall of Sleep’”, “The Music of Erich Zann”, “The Other Gods”, “The Hound”, “The Rats in the Walls”, “The Call of Cthulhu”, “The Descendant”, “The Dunwich Horror”.Results and discussion. Repetition is a significant element of H.P. Lovecraft’s writing style. In the analyzed works, repetitions are presented in various types: simple verbatim repetitions (contact and remote), anadiplosis, epanalepsis, synonymous, syntactic (lexical and syntactic parallelism). Lexico-semantic analysis of repetitions showed that the most frequent units in H.P. Lovecraft’s stories are such lexemes as “old” (125), “night” (95), “great” (85), “strange” (62), “gods” (48), “horror” (48). Their use can be attributed to the author’s desire to create a sense of "cosmic fear", to highlight the themes of ancient and hidden evil with “divine” forces. Functional analysis has shown that repetitions are most often used to highlight the most important elements of the text (pragmatic focus), convey the emotional states of the characters, create an appropriate emotional atmosphere (horror, fear), as well as rhythmic organization and stylistic imitation of religious discourse.Conclusion. Repetition as a stylistic figure is an important technique of pragmatic focusing and a significant element of the H.P. Lovecraft’s writing style, emerging in various structural variations and performing many functions.
Towards the Question on the Zero Subject in English
Authors: Stepanenko I. S. , Ulianitckaia L. A. , Shulzhenko T. V.
Published: November 2021

Introduction. The article considers the case, when no subject is present in an impersonal English sentence. Many linguists believe that the subject in this case is implicit, because the sentence preserves its predicativity. In addition, the subject “it” is sometimes substituted in impersonal English sentences by the formal particle “there”. However, the question whether this particle performs the function of subject is still open. That is why it is rather pertinent to consider all cases of subject, both explicit and implicit one, including the cases, when the sentence contains the formal particle “there”. The objective of this work is to build a formal logical model of implicit subject in impersonal English sentence. Implicit subject is often named as zero subject.Methodology and sources. The research methodology is based on traditional approaches towards studying the phenomenon of zero subject, as well as on the binomiality idea, having been developed since 1993 at ETU. On the material of English the status of the issue, whether it is eligible to consider the implicit subject as the zero one, is investigated. The examples illustrating the functional features of the implicit subject in English sentence were selected by means of the method of continuous sampling from 7 corpora. To represent the structural features of the implicit subject the method of formal logical modelling is applied.Results and discussion. The article presents the diversity of subject structures in English sentence. There is dealt with the question on the functions of the formal particle “there” in hypothetical comparison with the formal particle “it”. In this regard, a formal logical modelling of English subject is undertaken, for declarative and interrogative sentences. Herewith both independent and dependent sentences are modelled. Questions to the subject are out of the present consideration. The implicit subject has been assumed to be a “trace” of the explicit subject and may not be recognized as the absolute zero subject.Conclusion. Linguistics has elaborated a variety of original views on the reasons, why “incomplete” subjects emerge. Our language models allow, however, to come to more original and, as we hope, objective conclusions. Dependent on its environment the subject in English can be implicit fully or partly. If the subject is fully implicit, it is a strong or weak implicit semifinitive, fixed in the weak specifier. If the subject is partly implicit, it is a weak implicit semifinitive, fixed in the strong specifier. The English subject appears to be fully implicit much less frequent, than partly implicit. Making the subject fully implicit is possible by means of additional elements. Making the subject partly implicit is possible by means of the strong specifier “there”; no additional elements are then needed.
The Problem of the Stability of the Social System in Ancient Indian Philosophy
Authors: Tuzov V. V. , Mazina R. R.
Published: November 2021

Introduction. The purpose of the article is to show the effect of the law of correspondence as a factor of stability of the social system and the relevance of this problem for ancient Indian philosophy. The problem of the stability of society was not directly considered in ancient Indian philosophy or in modern literature, especially through the prism of the law of correspondence.

Methodology and sources. The work uses content analysis, system approach, dialectics and the concept of self-organization. In addition, the main analysis of the problem of stability in ancient Indian philosophy is carried out on the basis of the law of correspondence between the real relations that connect people at a given moment and the essence of the “social”. This law was formulated and proposed by V.V. Tuzov. The essence of the “social” could be conditionally expressed through the concepts of “equality”, “humanism”, mutual assistance, “justice”. Real relations may deviate from the essence, but by a certain amount, a measure. Going beyond the limits of the measure deprives the system of stability, and it becomes uncontrollable. The main source of analysis is the academic edition of the text Arthashastra (ancient Indian political and economic treatise), as well as “History of political and legal doctrines”, “Development of ideas about management in philosophical thought”.

Results and discussion. The article analyzes the ancient Indian philosophical texts to reveal in them, in a latent or explicit form, the concern of philosophers with the problem of maintaining the stability of the state and society. Attention is focused on the fact that there is a need to observe the law of conformity in the recommendations for rulers on how to govern the people.

Analysis of the main source of ancient Indian philosophy, which deals with the problems of governance, shows that the recommendations to the king, which are set forth by the author of Arthashastra Kautilya, imply, in the end result, the need to maintain a balance of interests between the ruling class and the people, that is, to observe the measure for which society loses its stability due to for the impoverishment of the people. In other words, in the management recommendations, the law of conformity, which was discussed above, appears in a latent form.

Conclusion. The problem of the stability of the social system in a class society was and remains extremely relevant. The philosophical law of correspondence between real relations and the essence of social relations, which ensures the stability of society while observing the measure, requires justification. Since the principle of forming relationships and the nature of interaction has remained unchanged for centuries, the reflections of ancient philosophers on management, on the structure of society, on the relationship between different groups in it, and on the interaction of interests, on the one hand, confirm the operation of this law, on the other hand, could be useful for modern management.
Chinese Think Tanks: from Practical Rationality to Social Institutional Reflection
Authors: Pomozova N. B.
Published: November 2021

Introduction. The article examines the formation of a network of Chinese think tanks as a special socio-political institution – a research system, not only aimed at solving the tasks set by the state, but also, due to the specifics of these tasks, exerting an ever-increasing influence on the same state is the customer. This process is been studied from the standpoint of social reflection, determined by the modern “fluid” nature of society, which is becoming in conditions of increasing socio-cultural dynamics and risk. Today think tanks, as a very popular institution in the West, are actively discussed in the scientific community in the context of their engagement and loss of expert independence. At the same time, in China, where such structures appeared later than in the United States and Europe, their influence on political and economic decision-making is recognized as consistently high. The aim of the study is to classify the leading Chinese think tanks and analyze their activities from the perspective of sociological reflection.

Methodology and sources. The methodological basis of the study was the approach of reflective sociology, with the help of which was made an attempt to analyze the activities of modern analytical centers in the PRC and their focus. The empirical base was made up of publicly available data on the activities of Chinese think tanks, included in the list of the best, according to the American Go Global Think Tank Index Report, on the basis of which a study of the nature of these organizations and their topics was carried out.

Results and discussion. Based on the study of the structural dynamics and research topics of Chinese think tanks, it is argued that the development of such a network since the 2000s is due to the reorientation of Chinese foreign policy from two “superpowers” to Europe and countries lying on the “new silk road” to it. There is a widespread opinion in the West that think tanks are capable of influencing political decision-making only in Western-style democratic societies. An analysis of the activities of modern think tanks in China refutes this opinion and demonstrates that it is there that ideas are discussed, which subsequently form the basis for political decision-making by the leadership of the PRC.

Conclusion. Interaction with Europe, as the main foreign policy goal, has led to a social reflection of problems in the construction of comprehensive cooperation with it. Such a reflection combined with social practical rationality, led to an appeal to European rationalism with the aim of both understanding Europe and trying to establish communication with it using a discourse that it understands. The work of Chinese think tanks, whose importance in shaping China’s foreign policy is growing, is aimed at solving this problem.

Authors: Rosa Karla Santos da Costa , Santos Daiane Almeida , Souza-Silva Renata de , Oliveira Livia Costa de
Published: November 2021

Introduction: Leptomeningeal metastasis is an extremely rare evolution of colon cancer, with reduced survival, requiring early palliative treatment in order to improve the patient’s quality of life. The aim of this study was to report the case of a patient with colon cancer with leptomeningeal carcinomatosis, from the perspective of the nutritional approach in exclusive palliative care. Case report: Young female patient with diagnosis of colon cancer, metastatic to leptomeninges, admitted to a Palliative Care Unit, with reduced functionality and nutritional risk. From the 1st to the 8th day of hospitalization, she remained on zero diet. In the few moments when she was more alert, there was an attempt to offer liquid oral diet, which could not be achieved due to high risk of bronchoaspiration. After multiprofessional team discussions and conversations with the patient’s family members, it was decided to place the nasoenteric catheter (NEC). The patient alternated periods on zero diet and nutrition by NEC according to clinical and nutritional conditions. Conclusion: It is necessary to reconcile a safe food route for quality of life and death, considering not only the patient, but the feelings and meanings the family members attribute to food.

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), en kötü huylu primer merkezi sinir sistemi tümörüdür. Şu anda, GBM için iyileştirici tedavi seçenekleri yoktur ve 5 yıllık hayatta kalma oranı %5’den daha azdır. Monensin, ‘’Streptomyces cinnamonensis’’ den elde edilen antibakteriyal ve antiparazitik etkileri bilinen iyonofor bir antibiyotiktir. Literatürde monensinin GBM hücrelerinin apoptoz mekanizması üzerine etki gösterdiği bir çalışmaya rastlanmadığından yapılan bu çalışmanın amacı monensinin U373 GBM hücrelerinde apoptoz aracılı hücre proliferasyonu üzerine etkilerini araştırmaktır. Monensinin U373 hücre canlılığı üzerine etkileri XTT ile apoptoz üzerine etkileri ise RT-PCR ve Annexin V ile araştırılmıştır. Monensinin U373 GBM hücrelerinde IC50 değeri 48’inci saatte 4 μM olarak bulunmuştur. Monensin U373 GBM hücrelerinde apoptoz oranında 6 katlık bir artışa neden olmuştur. Bununla birlikte monensin kaspaz-10 gen ekspresyonunu arttırarak apoptozu anlamlı olarak aktive etmiştir. Sunulan çalışma monensinin GBM hücrelerinin kaspaz-10 aracılı apoptoz mekanizması üzerine etkilerini gösteren ilk çalışmadır. Bizim sonuçlarımız monensinin GBM kanserinde güçlü apoptotik etkileri olan terapötik bir antikanser ilaç bileşiği olabileceğini önermektedir.

Tuberculosis (TB) friendly area will reduce society's stigmatization and increase adherence to treatment for TB patients. The encouragement of the surrounding environment can motivate patients to recover, and it can realize the goals of the SDGs and the Indonesian government to eliminate TB. The government's commitment is needed to build governance in developing TB-friendly areas. The study aimed to Know the community's perception of TB-friendly readiness during the COVID-19 period. The method employed was explanatory research with quantitative method; An online survey was conducted on 230 respondents from the general public from various provinces and 40 TB sufferers in the city of Depok to describe the frequency distribution of respondents' perceptions of knowledge, attitudes, behavior, prevention, and development of TB-friendly villages. The results revealed that Overall (100%) of the respondents had good knowledge about TB, but attitudes (50.9%) and behavior (41.3%) towards TB prevention were still poor. Observations showed that the occupancy of TB patients in densely populated areas still lacked ventilation and lighting. In conclusion, Depok City is not ready for human resources and organizational culture in developing TB-friendly sites. The synergy of communication, coordination, and community involvement is an essential pillar in developing TB-friendly villages. Improved communication, information, and education (IEC) for changes in people's positive attitudes and behavior towards TB prevention.

Cel i metody badań: po wydarzeniach z jesieni 2020 roku, związanych z protestami Strajku Kobiet, zauważalny jest istotny wzrost aktywności osób działających w portalach społecznościowych na rzecz równouprawnienia płci. Mając to na uwadze, w artykule zostaną przedstawione działania aktywistów mowy inkluzywnej prowadzone w mediach społecznościowych (w tym zakresie wykorzystana zostanie metoda opisowa); następnie zaprezentowane zostaną wyniki badania ankietowego, którego celem było: (1) sprawdzenie, czy używanie nazw rodzaju męskiego w odniesieniu do kobiet wykonujących określone zawody faktycznie jest czynnikiem decydującym o tym, jak kobiety postrzegają możliwość bycia aktywnymi w danej profesji; (2) określenie, jak przeciętny użytkownik języka polskiego ocenia postulowane przez aktywistów zasady rządzące mową inkluzywną. Główne tezy: (1) używanie w odniesieniu do kobiet powszechnych nazw rodzaju męskiego, na przykład nazw zawodów, nie narzuca jednoznacznie wykluczającego sposobu myślenia o osobach płci żeńskiej – ich umiejętnościach, predyspozycjach i możliwościach bycia aktywnymi na tych samych polach co mężczyźni; (2) działania podejmowane przez aktywistów mowy inkluzywnej w mediach społecznościowych mogą nie być przekonujące dla użytkowników języka polskiego. Istnieje prawdopodobieństwo, że postulowane zachowania językowe będą uznane za utrudniające komunikację i niepotrzebne w kontekście dążenia do ekonomizacji wypowiedzi. Wyniki i wnioski są zgodne z pierwszą z postawionych tez, ale nie potwierdzają drugiej. Przeprowadzone badanie ankietowe pokazało, że przeważająca część respondentów uważa, iż własności języka mają wpływ na realizację idei równouprawnienia płci, a postulowane przez aktywistów zmiany pewnych zachowań językowych mogłyby przyczynić się do osiągnięcia pożądanej równości. Okazało się też jednak, że przychylność respondentów wobec proponowanych rozwiązań ma charakter raczej deklaratywny. Wartość poznawcza: przedstawione w tekście wyniki badania ankietowego dostarczają aktualnej wiedzy o społecznym odbiorze feminatywów. Pozwalają także formułować przypuszczenia na temat powodzenia działań aktywistów mowy inkluzywnej, będącej niejako flagowym elementem szeroko pojmowanych zachowań włączających.

Despite being predominantly a childhood disease, the incidence of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) has a second peak in adults aged 60 years and over. These older adults fare extremely poorly with existing treatment strategies and very few studies have undertaken a comprehensive genetic and genomic characterization to improve prognosis in this age group. We performed cytogenetic, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array and next-generation sequencing (NGS) analyses on samples from 210 patients aged ≥60 years from the UKALL14 and UKALL60+ clinical trials. BCR-ABL1-positive disease was present in 26% (55/210) of patients, followed by low hypodiploidy/near triploidy in 13% (28/210). Cytogenetically cryptic rearrangements in CRLF2, ZNF384 and MEF2D were detected in 5%, 1% and <1% of patients, respectively. Copy number abnormalities were common and deletions in ALL driver genes were seen in 77% of cases. IKZF1 deletion was present in 51% (40/78) of samples tested and the IKZF1plus profile was identified in over a third (28/77) of cases of B-cell precursor ALL. The genetic good-risk abnormalities high hyperdiploidy (n=2), ETV6-RUNX1 (no cases) and ERG deletion (no cases) were exceptionally rare in this cohort. RAS pathway mutations were seen in 17% (4/23) of screened samples. KDM6A abnormalities, including biallelic deletions, were discovered in 5% (4/78) of SNP arrays and 9% (2/23) of NGS samples, and represent novel, potentially therapeutically actionable lesions using EZH2 inhibitors. Outcome remained poor with 5-year event-free and overall survival rates of 17% and 24%, respectively, across the cohort, indicating a need for novel therapeutic strategies.

Difficulties in the treatment of COVID-19 have determined the need to systematize the factors for the development of complications, critical conditions and death. Endocrine and metabolic disorders associated with obesity, insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and lipid and fatty acid metabolism disorders increase immunological dysregulation and make these patients vulnerable to infection. The data from the observations made it possible to single out diabetes mellitus, obesity as a risk factor aggravating the course of COVID-19, and to state the duration of the virus elimination period, potentiation of cardiovascular diseases, an increase in the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, coagulopathy - factors in the development of unfavorable outcomes. The article presents generalized data on the organization of medical care for patients with endocrine pathology during the coronavirus pandemic
