Lacan’s Anamorphic Object
Authors: Colman Athena V. ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: April 2021

Much of the current research on the constitution of subjectivity has been grounded on attempts to conceptualize the body without collapsing into reductive materialism or, to the contrary, theorizing a completely historical subject in the hope of doing ontological and ethical justice to formative specificity. With the rationalism-empiricism struggle put to bed by Kant’s transcendental turn and tucked in tightly by Hegel’s dialectic, the twentieth century was greeted with a maelstrom of world wars and efficient technology which produced the greatest number of corpses in the shortest time in world history; and still, to use Hegel’s famous saying, thought stood “at the crossroads of materialism and idealism.” Wrestling with articulating the interpenetrating quagmire of consciousness and body marked the beginning of twentieth century thought. For instance, Freud’s science of childhood development aligned emerging aspects of subjectivity with the very development of the body itself. In another effort, Husserl identified eidetic constructs which structured experience and, most importantly for our purposes, he distinguished between the phenomenal lived-body of the Lebenswelt known as Leib, and the anonymous thing-like quality of the body known as Körper. In this context, the corpse is the very opposite of the body insofar as the body is the site of the unfolding of subjectivity whereas the corpse seems to be the limit of subjectivity: a spatial-temporal marker of a subject which was. For instance, although it has been suggested that the corpse has somehow been emptied of subjectivity, is it not just as likely that it is we who are emptied before it? What is it about the corpse that disgusts us, intrigues us, fascinates us and reveals us to ourselves? The notion of the ‘uncanny’ is frequently invoked as a placeholder for the specific and irreducible character of such threshold experiences (such as encountering a corpse). But what is the structure of the uncanny? Moreover, what are the broader considerations regarding limit experiences as integral to the constituting of the subject?
The Obscene and the Corpse
Authors: Kaushik Rajiv ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: April 2021

This paper examines Jean-Michel Basquiat’s obsession with the marginal and the obscene - understood literally as the ob-scene. The context of a graffiti art, and particularly the glyphic character of graffiti art, allows the work to defy the ordinary logic of the picture frame in order to figure, rather than represent, indeterminate into it. Thus, Basquiat characterizes death and the dead body not in the light of a transcendent space but as prolonged into the depths of an alterity, an ob-scene in the sense of an alter-side that belongs to the scene.
Heidegger, Mood and the Lived Body
Authors: Stolorow Robert D. ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: April 2021

It is sometimes said that Heidegger neglected the ontological significance of the lived body until the Zollikon Seminars, where he elaborates on the bodily aspect of Being-in-the-world as a “bodying forth.” Against such a contention, in this article I argue that, because of the central role that Heidegger grants to mood (disclosive affectivity) as a primordial way of disclosing Being-in-the-world, and because it is impossible to think mood without also thinking the lived body, Heidegger has actually placed the latter at the very center of Dasein’s disclosedness. Heidegger’s account of mood thus entails and highlights, rather than neglects, the ontological significance of the body.
Energy Becoming Love
Authors: Sabatino Charles ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: April 2021

This essay develops the metaphor of energy to address the meaning of God. It does so by drawing upon aspects of Buddhist thinking and certain findings in contemporary science. It approaches energy as the activity of inter-reling, pregnant with the possibility of emerging as spirit, in a manner that heals, especially becoming the highest quality within relatedness: that of care and love. Love as we understand it may not have been at the beginning; but it does emerge from the giving forth of the beginning; and it does emerge from the activity of interrelatedness that occurs in and as world. Such is the divine impulse that has given birth and empowers world. Those are the activities within which God, world, and humanity most express one another, most are synonnomous with one another.
Whose Ethics? Making Reproductive Ethics More Inclusive and Just
Authors: Charles Sonya ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: April 2021

As the field of assisted-reproductive technology progresses, bioethicists continue to debate whether and how the availability of this technology creates new moral duties for parents-to-be. It is rare for these debates to seriously engage with questions related to race and class. Camisha Russell asks us to move race from the margins to the center of our discussions of reproductive ethics. She argues that this shift can work as a kind of corrective that will lead to better theory. In this paper, I build on Russell’s work by considering two proposals related to prenatal genetic diagnosis [PGD] that received a lot of attention and debate—Julian Savulescu and Guy Kahane’s argument in favor of a “principle of procreative beneficence” and Janet Malak and Judith Daar’s argument in favor of a legal duty, in certain cases, to use PGD. My analysis of each of these arguments shows how a lack of diverse viewpoints leads to bad theory. I end the paper by showing how including a diversity of perspectives shifts our focus from rights to justice.
Poetry: The Experience of Listening
Authors: Laarif Boutheina Boughnim ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: April 2021

As a verbal art, the “specifica poetica ” of poetry is incontestably its peculiar rhythmic and sound patterning. Regarded as a ‘twin-sister’ of music, as it originally was meant to be sung, poetry offers a different experience of language and the world. Reciting a poem, reading it ‘aloud mentally’, or simply listening to someone else’s recitation is not a trifle experience. It may prove unsettlingly significant in the light of recent philosophical treatments, inscribed into Heidegger’s existential thought based on his multi-dimensional notion of temporality intrinsic in Being/Dasein, notably, Jean-Luc Nancy, Philippe Lacoue- Labarthe and Jacques Derrida. In the present essay, I shall primarily focus on Nancy’s compelling conception of the act of listening which he expounds in his book Listening. Drawing upon a plethora of philosophers, such as, Heidegger, his friend Lacoue-Labarthe and others, Nancy elaborates a forceful understanding of the act of listening beyond the meaning-bound, message-focused one. With a challenging, rich philosophical verve, Nancy probes the experience of listening to music, (poetic) rhythm and even to mere human voices’ timbre and links it to our own awareness of our own subjectivity, as well as perceiving subjects engaging with the world surrounding us. Listening mirrors our own selves. It makes reverberate our silent, inner depths whose essence lies beyond the meaning-loaded constructs which define our existence. Being fundamentally temporal, the subject’s economy is perceived, from this temporally existential view, as governed by an unremitting mimetic deferral, continuity and inception, or in rhythm’s logic, repetition and spacing . Poetry, like music, sets (rhythmic, sound) expectations and is perceived as an experience of immanence. The act of listening to a poem being recited or simply ‘reading it aloud mentally’, echoes the subject’s very economy and the perpetual, inceptive deferral underlying its formation, while at the same time reinforces it. What Nancy calls “to listen with all its being” (35), is what Whitman seems to exhort his reader to perform in his exhilarating work Song of Myself to which I refer in the second part of the present essay.
From Decline of the West to Dawn of Day
Authors: Zwart Hub ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: April 2021

This paper subjects Dan Brown’s most recent novel Origin to a philosophical reading. Origin is regarded as a literary window into contemporary technoscience, inviting us to explore its transformative momentum and disruptive impact, focusing on the cultural significance of artificial intelligence and computer science: on the way in which established world-views are challenged by the incessant wave of scientific discoveries made possible by super-computation. While initially focusing on the tension between science and religion, the novel’s attention gradually shifts to the increased dependence of human beings on smart technologies and artificial (or even “synthetic”) intelligence. Origin’s message, I will argue, reverberates with Oswald Spengler’s The Decline of the West, which aims to outline a morphology of world civilizations. Although the novel starts with a series of oppositions, most notably between religion and science, the eventual tendency is towards convergence, synthesis and sublation, exemplified by Sagrada Família as a monumental symptom of this transition. Three instances of convergence will be highlighted, namely the convergence between science and religion, between humanity and technology and between the natural sciences and the humanities.
Sigambra sundarbanensis sp. nov. (Annelida, Pilargidae) from the Indian sector of Sundarbans Estuarine System, with remarks on parapodial glands
Authors: Bhowmik Moumita , Ghoshal Priya , Salazar-Vallejo Sergio I. , Mandal Sumit
Published: April 2021

A new pilargid species, Sigambra sundarbanensis sp. nov., is described from the rivers Matla and Thakuran, in the central Indian sector of the Sundarbans Estuarine System. This species is characterized by several characters such as the starting position of the notopodial hooks, the length of the median antenna and the variation in number of the neuropodial chaetae. These characters distinguish the new species from its congeners. Some parapodial glands have been found in individuals of this species. The new species closely resembles Sigambra parva (Day, 1963). Additionally, an updated key of genus Sigambra is provided, along with a table indicating their morphological variations and a global map showing their type localities.

Beware the source text: five (re)translations of the same work, but from different source texts
Authors: Ivaska Laura , Huuhtanen Suvi
Published: April 2021

Source text(ST), although a central concept in translation studies, has remained vaguely defined. This complicates the identification of a translation’s ST, which in turn creates problems for research. Associating translations with the incorrect ST(s) leads to questionable conclusions and categorizations, especially when dealing with the types of translation that are defined and theorized with reference to their relationship with their ST(s), such as retranslation, indirect translation, pseudotranslation and self-translation. Our case study of five Finnish translations of Jules Verne’sVingt mille lieues sous les merdemonstrates that these assumed retranslations have different STs. We adopt the notions ofworkandtextto establish the relationships among the translations and STs involved:textsare representations of awork, and awork, in turn, is a literary creation implied by its varioustexts. Although the five Finnish translations have different sourcetexts, they are all – as are their STs –textsof the samework. In other words, ifsource textis understood to be atext, the five translations are not, strictly speaking, retranslations; however, ifsource textis understood to be awork, then they are all retranslations of the samework. Therefore, the categorization of these translations – and thus also the points of view from which they can be studied – depends on whethersource textis defined as atextor as awork.
La traduction comme instrument de défense et de résistance des Canadiens francophones
Authors: Navarro Aura
Published: April 2021

La presse ancienne canadienne est un témoin privilégié des changements politiques et sociaux survenus pendant lexixe siècle au Canada. Dans cette presse, la traduction occupe une place importante, puisque les journaux publiés à l’étranger et en langue étrangère sont la principale source d’information des rédacteurs de l’époque. L’un des premiers périodiques publiés à Montréal (1826-1899),La Minerve, revêt une importance particulière car il est publié tout au long duxixe siècle. Ce périodique fait d’ailleurs l’objet d’une activité traductionnelle intense. L’étude de la traduction dansLa Minervepermet d’observer le « rapport d’inégalité politique » (Simon 1989 : 19) entre le Canada anglais et le Canada français. Les exemples cités démontrent que la traduction dansLa Minerveest employée en tant qu’instrument de défense du peuple canadien francophone, entouré d’anglophones.

Published: April 2021

Dans cet article, nous nous pencherons sur la production et la réception dans l’Amérique du Nord anglophone des traductions anglaises des romans canadiens-français publiés auxixe siècle. Les romans à l’étude étaientL’Influence d’un livre(1837),Les Anciens Canadiens(1863),Angéline de Montbrun(1884) etÀ l’oeuvre et à l’épreuve(1891). Dans un premier temps, nous examinons donc les concepts théoriques de distribution, de diffusion, de réception et de réception critique. Puis, dans un deuxième temps, nous présenterons brièvement les résultats de nos recherches en analysant les parcours de réceptions des traductions anglophones des romans de notre corpus. Nous démontrerons que certaines oeuvres ont profité d’une réception enviable – et sont toujours reconnues de nos jours – alors que d’autres sont presque passées inaperçues.

Authors: Asquerino Egoscozábal Laura , Hurtado Albir Amparo
Published: April 2021

En este artículo se presentan los resultados obtenidos en un estudio piloto que ha constituido la primera etapa de un estudio experimental sobre la adquisición de la competencia traductora en la formación de traductores del japonés al español. Se enmarca en la investigación sobre la adquisición de la competencia traductora del grupo PACTE, de la Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. En el estudio piloto participaron cinco estudiantes de cuarto del Grado en Traducción e Interpretación de la Universidad de Salamanca con el japonés como segunda lengua extranjera. Los objetivos del estudio fueron 1) avanzar en la selección de las variables de estudio y de sus correspondientes indicadores; 2) comprobar que eran adecuados los instrumentos (texto y cuestionarios); 3) verificar que era adecuada la selección depuntos ricos(problemas prototípicos de traducción), y 4) avanzar en los criterios de corrección de dichos puntos ricos. Los resultados demostraron que eran adecuados el texto escogido, la selección de puntos ricos (si bien se eliminaron dos puntos ricos y se añadió uno nuevo), las variables e indicadores seleccionados (solo se eliminó uno de los indicadores) y los cuestionarios (que solo se modificaron ligeramente).
Translators as publishers: exploring the motivations for non-profit literary translation in a digital initiative*
Authors: Marin-Lacarta Maialen , Vargas-Urpí Mireia
Published: April 2021

Motivations for volunteering have rarely been studied in the context of professional literary translators. Instead, studies have mainly focused on amateur translators in areas such as charities, fansubbing, TED, Wikipedia, Skype and Facebook. This paper explores this under-researched topic in the context of ¡Hjckrrh!, a non-profit publisher led by translators who self-publish literary translations in e-book format. As of March 2018, ¡Hjckrrh! had issued 21 e-books translated from seven languages, with the collaboration of fourteen translators. Most of the translators are experienced professional translators with full-time jobs. Based on in-depth semi-structured interviews with fifteen participants, this paper explores the translators’ motivations for collaborating on this initiative and shows how an ethnography-inspired methodology can be fruitful when studying translators. The outcomes reflect that translating for pleasure and personal relationships are factors that trigger translators’ voluntary participation in ¡Hjckrrh!, and the conclusions highlight the need for more research into similar non-profit publishing initiatives.

Authors: Brzezicka Barbara
Published: April 2021

L’article vise à présenter les différentes modifications qui pourraient être introduites dans la version polonaise duVocabulaire européen des philosophies(VEP) sous la rédaction de Cassin. Le texte aborde le thème des intraduisibles philosophiques polonais qui pourraient faire l’objet de nouvelles entrées dans le VEP, tels queczyn, et le lexique polonais qui pourrait accompagner les entrées existantes. On commente aussi la spécificité de la langue polonaise comme langue philosophique dans le contexte des entrées du VEP consacrées aux langues. Le polonais philosophique est abordé dans une perspective historique, ce qui permet d’en montrer la création lexicale originale, présente surtout à l’époque du romantisme, ainsi que l’histoire des traductions philosophiques en langue polonaise. On commente plusieurs problèmes de traduction qui ont eu un impact sur le vocabulaire philosophique polonais et qui posent toujours des problèmes aux traducteurs et aux commentateurs des philosophies étrangères. Certains mots commentés, commeliberalismoušaria, sont présentés dans leur contexte politique actuel. Toutes les questions sont considérées dans une perspective pratique de mise en oeuvre du projet et la dernière partie est consacrée aux changements éditoriaux concrets qui devraient être pris en compte par les traducteurs polonais.

Certain aspects of organization of prosecutorial supervision over the execution of laws on minors in the area of urban planning
Authors: Korshunova Ol'ga Nikolaevna , Koryachentsova Svetlana Igorevna
Published: April 2021

This article addresses the questions of prosecutorial assessment of the validity of territorial planning documents and allocation of the facilities for minors. The need to take into account violations in development of the territorial planning documents is substantiated. The subject of this research is the theoretical and legal framework of prosecutorial supervision over the execution of laws in the area of urban planning. The object is the legal relations established in organization and implementation of prosecutorial supervision in this sphere. The goal is set to analyze the conformity of urban planning legislation based on the existing theoretical provisions on organization and implementation of prosecutorial supervision. The novelty of this work lies in formulation of recommendations of evidence-based recommendations on observance of rights and legitimate interests of minors, which can be ensured directly in building and reconstruction of the facilities designated for educational institutions, and indirectly – through optimization of allocation of the objects of residential construction, transport and utility systems, beautification of cities, improvement of the state of urban environment. The need is substantiated for intensification of prosecutorial oversight in this regard, including the use of relevant achievements in the theory of prosecutorial activity and scientifically grounded methodological recommendations on interrelated directions of oversight activity. In conclusion, it is noted that in the conditions of expansion of urban construction, prosecutorial branches should implement preventive supervision and measures for remedying violations; an important factor for the effective oversight in the indicated sphere is the knowledge in various branches of law (urban planning, land, environmental, budget, civil, etc.).
The questions of administrative enforcement
Authors: Kurakin Aleksei Valentinovich
Published: April 2021

Despite the fact that the questions of administrative enforcement are classic for the theory of administrative law, they retain their relevance. New challenges and threats, as well as the paradigm of social and economic development, substantiate the need for revising the traditional points of view regarding such phenomenon as “administrative enforcement”. The key question on the agenda is the problem of determination of balance between private and public components in application of administrative enforcement measures, as well as the criteria that prevent excessive enforcement. Attention is turned to the functionality of such enforcement. The author describes its procedural and administrative aspects, as well as analyzes the effectiveness of implementation of this type of public enforcement. The questions of administrative enforcement do not cease to be relevant in the time of political and social instability; therefore, in order for the administrative enforcement to discharge its functions, the legislation should take into account the emerging processes and realities. The author notes that for preventing excessive administrative enforcement, the individual rights and freedoms should not be unduly restricted; only this guarantees fair public enforcement. It is also underlined that the administrative enforcement is of procedural nature, which justifies introduction of the category “procedural enforcement” into the formal legal discourse.
Anti-corruption standards in relation to public officials: application of the advanced legal regulation by the constituent entities of the Russian Federation
Authors: Andreechev Igor Sergeevich
Published: April 2021

The subject of this research is the practices of advanced legal regulation of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation on the example of the sphere of corruption prevention. Examination of the regional legislative practices is of particular interest within the framework of implementation of the single state policy in the area of corruption prevention and development of anti-corruption legislation. The selected topic also reflects general interest for the assessment of advanced legal regulation of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation as a whole at the current stage. The goal of this research is to develop proposals on improving anti-corruption regulation on the federal level based on the regional anti-corruption practices, using the formal-legal, systematic, and comparative methods. The conducted analysis allows assessing the regional lawmaking practices, as well as the legislation on corruption prevention. The regional practices are aimed at unification of anti-corruption regulation on the regional and municipal levels, as well as filling the gaps caused by imperfection of the federal legal regulation. The constituent entities of the Russian Federation use the right to advanced legal regulation conservatively, although they have such opportunity in for synchronization of legal regulation on the regional and federal levels. This substantiates the need for addressing these issues in the federal laws. The introduction of anti-corruption restrictions, mechanisms of compliance thereof, and liability for their violation (noncompliance) should be established by the federal laws. The author believes that the considered in the article regional practices deserve support and reflection in the federal laws.
Food insecurity and commotion of workers in Russia during the World War I (July 1914 – February 1917)
Authors: Shilnikova Irina
Published: April 2021

The topic of the living standards of population during the World War I remains polemical, namely due to the fact that worsening of food insecurity was traditionally regarded by Soviet historiography as one of the factors of escalation of revolutionary moods in the society. The article describes the dynamics of industrial protests during the wartime, which were caused shortage and costliness of food products. The research is based on the 2019 edition of the chronicle of industrial protests during the World War I, which contains information on the higher number of conflicts than that of materials used in earlier research. Assessment of the severity of food insecurity through the prism of industrial strikes demonstrates that the situation becomes critical by the beginning of 1917, gradually changing for the worse during the wartime. In the initial stages of the war, the demands for food provision and lowering the prices were expressed during the strikes in the remote provinces. Although in 1916, the provinces of the Central Industrial District take on the leading positions, the Moscow province is not among them. The employees of light industry, and particularly textile industry, were engaged in the strikes more often. By the end of 1916, the escalation of protest activity due to food insecurity issue is observed in Moscow and Petrograd provinces, involving the workers of metal industry and defense enterprises.
Falsification of the Russian history and prevention of extremist activity in youth environment on the example of Kemerovo State Medical University
Authors: Borovikova Zlata Vladimirovna , Shiller Vadim Viktorovich , Valiullina Evgeniya Viktorovna
Published: April 2021

The subject of this research is the preventive measures aimed against extremist activity in the conditions of falsification of history in youth environment. Leaning on students’ survey results, questionnaire materials of the student youth of Kemerovo Oblast, Novosibirsk Oblast, Chelyabinsk Oblast and Altai Krai, the author analyzes the factors that create favorable environment for falsification of history and growth of extremist manifestations. The article demonstrates the principle of organization of measures for countering the proliferation of extremist ideologies among youth. The experience of Kemerovo State Medical University on preventing extremist activity, which can be also use in other secondary and higher educational institutions, is described. Extremist ideology that is based on erroneous interpretation of historical facts and events, i.e. intentional distortion of history, underlied any extremist activity. These two phenomena and interrelated. Therefore, prevention of extremist manifestations is impossible without understanding and countering the mechanisms of falsification of history. Knowledge of the Russian history among youth is an important tool in prevention of falsification of history, and thus, extremist activity. A significant part of preventive work should be conducted starting from middle school history classes. The formation of fundamental knowledge on the key events of the Russian history, sense of patriotism, skills of working with information among youth is the property vector of anti-extremist activity, and is impossible without systematic and extensive implementation of this direction in educational institutions, beginning in grade school and continuing through university. The author underlines the need for training pedagogical personnel and changing approaches in teaching history.
On the study of the language the documents of incarcerated oppositionists of the Upper Ural political detention center
Authors: Reznik Aleksandr Valerievich
Published: April 2021

This article is first in historiography to set the subject of the analysis as the political language of the “Notebooks of the Upper Ural political detention center” – a body of texts written by the incarcerated oppositionists of Communism during 1932-1933. These documents became part of public domain only as recently as 2018. They have practically not been implemented into the scientific discourse, which complicates the task of authorship, detailed reconstruction of the practices of creation and proliferation of the “notebooks”, but at the same time raises the relevance of these texts from the political and cultural perspectives.  The author poses the question of rhetorical and pragmatic peculiarities of the texts of various genre. The texts are viewed in the context of the discourse on the language of the 1920s and early 1930s, canonic formulas of writing of the revolutionaries, as well as the factor of incarceration and internal discussions among the authors. The article highlights similarities and dissimilarities with the so-called “Soviet language” in the aspects of usage of clichés, citation techniques and stylistics eclectics. A hypothesis is advanced that the stylistics of texts carried an imprint of the cultural level of the authors and the conditions of incarceration, combination of which showed traces of the canonical political narratives of the revolutionaries, as well as bureaucratized depersonified language. The conclusion is made that the “notebooks” served as support of collective identity of the oppositionists, and can be viewed as the language of opposition.
Celebration of the Day of Russian Culture on the example of Harbin
Authors: Bulatov Ivan Aleksandrovich
Published: April 2021

The subject of this research is the celebration of the Day of Russian Culture in Harbin. This holiday was widely celebrated in most countries of emigration in the 1920s – 1930s; however, its popularity subsided after the World War II. An attempt is made to examine and analyze the arrangements for the Day of Russian Culture in the major center of White Russian émigrés in Northeast China – Harbin. For achieving the set goal, the author meticulously reviews all key aspects of the celebration: its preparation, main events for adults and children, release of festive publications. The article employs the previously known materials, such as the journal “The Day of Russian Culture” that published the reports of celebration and articles that better describe its essence; as well as introduces the new sources into the scientific discourse, such as materials from the State Archive of Khabarovsk Region, namely documents on the preparation and holding of the Day of Russian Culture. The conclusion is made that the festival was an important event for the Russian population of Harbin, united various emigrant communities, and contributed to preservation of the national culture in the conditions of separation from their homeland.

Robust vestibular self-motion signals in macaque posterior cingulate region
Authors: Liu Bingyu , Tian Qingyang , Gu Yong
Published: April 2021

Self-motion signals, distributed ubiquitously across parietal-temporal lobes, propagate to limbic hippocampal system for vector-based navigation via hubs including posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) and retrosplenial cortex (RSC). Although numerous studies have indicated posterior cingulate areas are involved in spatial tasks, it is unclear how their neurons represent self-motion signals. Providing translation and rotation stimuli to macaques on a 6-degree-of-freedom motion platform, we discovered robust vestibular responses in PCC. A combined three-dimensional spatiotemporal model captured data well and revealed multiple temporal components including velocity, acceleration, jerk, and position. Compared to PCC, RSC contained moderate vestibular temporal modulations and lacked significant spatial tuning. Visual self-motion signals were much weaker in both regions compared to the vestibular signals. We conclude that macaque posterior cingulate region carries vestibular-dominant self-motion signals with plentiful temporal components that could be useful for path integration.
The humorous dimension of intertextual relations in contemporary Slovak creolized media text
Authors: Dulebova Irina , Krajchovichova Linda
Published: April 2021

In the article, we focused on the aspect of humour in the contemporary Slovak media discourse through the prism of the humorous potential of intertextuality. In order to grasp manifestations of intertextuality and understand how the intertextual joke functions, we turned to the concept of verbal and non-verbal precedent phenomenon (as the intertextual code of the linguo-cultural society) established in the modern Russian scholarship. Through the covers of the popular Slovak weekly .tyždeň from 2014-2019 (in total 271 issues of which 90 have an intertextual nature, and 62 of  90 "intertextual covers" can be characterized as "intertextual jokes"), we analyze what types of precedent phenomena are most commonly used in the recent Slovak creolized text and what methods of working with intertext are applied in order to achieve the intertextual joke. We have come to the conclusion that "the effect of defeated expectation" and the creation of the inconsistency of the connotative meaning of the precedent phenomenon and the situation (context) in which it is used, are the most frequent methods of achieving the intertextual joke. It was interesting to discover that for the deciphering of intellectual "intertextual riddles" with a humorous effect, Slovak authors predominantly provide the Slovak reader with precedent phenomena connected not with the Slovak, but with the European or worldwide cultural space, or that the visual precedent phenomena are more dominant over the verbal precedent phenomena in conveying the intertextual jokes in the creolized texts.
Metaphor as a means of creating a humorous effect in Bulgarian media texts
Authors: Stoyanova Elena Viktotrovna
Published: April 2021

The paper is devoted to the questions of metaphor as a linguistic means and cognitive mechanism for creating a humorous effect in Bulgarian media texts. There is a similarity between the nature of metaphors and the humor, the ability of perception which refers to the evolutionary acquisition. The relationship of metaphor and humor is manifested in the comparison of the contradictory and the combination of the disproportionate. The humorous effect created by the metaphor in the media discourse is included in the general context and is the result of deliberate efforts, in accordance with pragmatic, linguistic and cultural settings. Despite the universality of humor and metaphor, the interpretation of knowledge, modeled by a comic metaphor, is governed by the sociocultural factor. The implicit functions of the metaphor fit into the functional and pragmatic parameters of media discourse, making the metaphor an integral part of media speech. The collected material allows us to conclude that there are single comic metaphors in Bulgarian media texts, or metaphors create the humorous effect of a fragment / whole media text based on one or more metaphorical models. Increasingly, in a modern Bulgarian media discourse, a metaphor is implemented as a construct script for the semantic development of the text.
Analysis of differences in the transcriptomic profiles of eutopic and ectopic endometriums in women with ovarian endometriosis
Authors: Feng Xiao , Qi Lingbin , Xu Xiaoyu , Feng Yun , Gong Xiaoming , Aili Aixingzi , Chen Yu , Xue Zhigang , Xue Jinfeng , Tong Xiaowen
Published: April 2021

Background

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease among women in their reproductive years. Although much effort has been made, the pathogenesis of this disease and the detailed differences between eutopic endometrial cells and ectopic endometrial cells are still unclear.

Methods

In this study, eutopic and ectopic endometrial cells were collected from patients with and without endometriosis and RNA sequencing was performed. The gene expression patterns and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in eutopic and ectopic endometrial cells, as well as control endometrial cells, were analyzed using a weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) and the DESeq2 package. The functions of significant genes were detected using Gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis, and qRT-PCR validation was performed.

Results

The results indicated that eight gene modules were found among these three groups. They also indicated that the gene module, which is highly related to eutopic endometrial cells, was mainly enriched in cell adhesion, embryo implantation, etc., while the gene module related to ectopic endometrial cells was mainly enriched in cell migration, etc. The results of differential expression analysis were generally consistent with the WGCNA results through identified significant DEGs between different groups. These DEGs may play an important role in the occurrence of endometriosis, including the infertility associated gene ARNTL and PIWIL2, tissue remodeling gene MMP11, cell survival and migration gene FLT1, inflammatory response gene GNLY, the tumor suppressor genes PLCD1, etc. Further analysis suggested the function of adhesion is stronger in ectopic endometrial cells than in eutopic endometrial cells, while the ectopic endometrium may have a higher potential risk of malignant transformation than eutopic endometrium.

Conclusions

Overall, these data provide a reference for understanding the pathogenesis of endometriosis and its relationship with malignant transformation.

Colours and emotions are associated in languages and traditions. Some of us may convey sadness by saying feeling blue or by wearing black clothes at funerals. The first example is a conceptual experience of colour and the second example is an immediate perceptual experience of colour. To investigate whether one or the other type of experience more strongly drives colour-emotion associations, we tested 64 congenitally red-green colour-blind men and 66 non-colour-blind men. All participants associated 12 colours, presented as terms or patches, with 20 emotion concepts, and rated intensities of the associated emotions. We found that colour-blind and non-colour-blind men associated similar emotions with colours, irrespective of whether colours were conveyed via terms (r = .82) or patches (r = .80). The colour-emotion associations and the emotion intensities were not modulated by participants’ severity of colour blindness. Hinting at some additional, although minor, role of actual colour perception, the consistencies in associations for colour terms and patches were higher in non-colour-blind than colour-blind men. Together, these results suggest that colour-emotion associations in adults do not require immediate perceptual colour experiences, as conceptual experiences are sufficient.

Introduction: Maxillary anterior spacing or midline diastema is the most frequently seen aesthetic concern among children, which can be quite challenging for the clinician to manage. There can be a significant disparity in the aesthetic perception from person to person and is greatly influenced by their personal experience and social environment. Aim: This study investigated the aesthetic perceptions of Saudi mothers to various Maxillary Midline Diastemas (MMDs) in mixed dentition. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study using structured questionnaire was employed for Saudi mothers chosen by stratified-cluster random sampling technique over a period of eight months (November 2016 to June 2017). The questionnaire assessed their perception about various MMDs using photographs and the source of information about MMDs. Data were statistical analysed (SPSS version 20) using the Chi-square test, with the level of significance set at p-value <0.05. Results: The sample consisted of 300 Saudi mothers with a response rate of 86.2%. The maximum mean score was 4.80±0.20 for the MMD photograph showing central incisor tooth discrepancy which the mothers perceived to be the most unpleasant (81%). The very unpleasant perception from the mothers’ perception for group D and B showing ugly duckling stage was (55%) and thumb sucking habit (33%), respectively. The MMD photograph showing high frenum attachment was perceived by 51% of the mothers to be unpleasant and 7% as very unpleasant. Moreover, on comparison it showed the least mean score of 3.65±0.41. Conclusion: The perception of Saudi mothers to various types of MMDs was found to be aesthetically unpleasant. Early detection of the MMDs by the Saudi mothers and intervention by the dental specialist can reduce the progression of the prevailing condition to a severe malocclusion.
Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis: An Anatomical Case Report
Authors: Singal Anjali , Gupta Tulika , Sahni Daisy
Published: April 2021

Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis (DISH) is a noninflammatory disease of unknown cause characterised by osteophytic calcification or ossification of ligaments and enthesis; especially spinal. Authors hereby present a case report of a 65-year-old male cadaver, in whom the fusion of contiguous nine vertebrae from fifth thoracic to first lumbar vertebrae, because of ossification of the Anterior Longitudinal Ligament (ALL) was noticed. The tenth and eleventh thoracic vertebrae seemed to be affected worse, as maximum osseous anterior outgrowth (12 mm) of ossified ALL, ossification of Ligamentum Flavum (LF) and supraspinous ligament was also observed at this level. The Ossification of Anterior Longitudinal Ligament (OALL) along with the involvement of LF has not been classically reported. Ossification of spinal ligaments may cause local thoracic pain, stiffness and slowly progressive myelopathy. Ossified LF at the level of joint between tenth and eleventh thoracic vertebrae may result in compression of spinal cord at this level.

Introduction: Increased prevalence of proximal caries in primary teeth and its difficult diagnosis makes it necessary to develop newer diagnostic tools for accurate detection of these lesions. International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) and its associated International Caries Classification and Management System (ICCMS) is a newer system that uses ICDAS for clinical staging of caries and ICDAS Radiographic score for radiographic staging of carious lesion. Aim: To the topographical distribution of proximal cavitated lesions on the mandibular arch and on primary mandibular molar tooth surface and to determine the extent of the agreement between clinical and radiographic examination in identifying proximal cavitated lesions involving primary mandibular molars. Materials and Methods: An observational study between July 2018-August 2019 in a total of 100 (60 first and 40 second primary molars) primary mandibular molars (D or E) was conducted. Proximal cavitation involving primary mandibular molars were examined both clinically (ICCMS caries merged category scores) and radiographically (ICDAS Radiographic scoring system) and the correlation between both scores were also analysed. Results: First primary molar was observed to have statistically significant prevalence of proximal cavitation (p-value ≤0.001) both clinically and radiographically as compared to second primary molar. Distal surface was observed to have more carious lesions as compared to mesial surface (p-value=0.003). Also, a statistically significant correlation was observed between the clinical and radiographic scores (p-value ≤0.001). Conclusion: Mandibular first primary molar is more prone to proximal cavitation along with chances of distal surface cavitations being higher.

Ebstein’s anomaly is considered to be one of the rare congenital heart conditions which occur due to abnormal development of tricuspid valve and atrialisation of right ventricle and could be associated with either Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) or Patent foramen ovale through which shunting occurs. It might be associated with other cardiac malformations and rhythm disturbances. In such a patient, clinical presentation varies from congestive cardiac failure in childhood to incidental diagnosis in adulthood. If such a patient comes for surgery, it will be a challenging job for anaesthesiologist. Various cases have been reported of successful management either under general anaesthesia or epidural anaesthesia. In order to avoid complications of general anaesthesia, in a case report of 40-year-old female to provide some knowledge and information on the use of subarachnoid block in the case of Ebstein’s Anomaly posted for total abdominal hysterectomy.
