Haemophilic arthropathy: a case of misdiagnosis
Authors: Grace Nakalyango Annette
Published: May 2019

This article describes a case of wrongly managed haemophilic arthropathy in a 15-year-old boy in Uganda. Delayed diagnosis of haemophilia and misdiagnosis of haemophilic arthropathy resulted in unnecessary corrective surgery and potentially severe complications. After haemophilia was diagnosed, he was managed by haematologists using factor VIII and regular physiotherapy. The physiotherapy treatment approach focused in particular on functional activities, which was beneficial in achieving quicker results and made the patient’s rehabilitation more meaningful. This case indicates that there is a need for greater awareness of the presentation of haemophilia in developing countries.
El laboratorio de periodismo. La práctica universitaria de la idea fundacional de Pulitzer
Authors: Correa Soto Carlos Mario
Published: May 2019

El periodismo estudiantil universitario como objeto de investigación académica ha sido casi por completo ignorado en Colombia, pese a la existencia y desarrollo constante de numerosos medios impresos y digitales que nos brindan contenidos investigativos, informativos, interpretativos y de opinión en muchos aspectos distintos y más provechosos que aquellos que recibimos de la agenda de las empresas informativas de difusión masiva. Este trabajo, básicamente descriptivo, resalta y explica las características de una de las categorías de este tipo de periodismo, el cual se planea y se realiza a partir de una estrategia pedagógica constructivista, en los periódicos y revistas que sirven como laboratorios de prácticas en los pregrados de Comunicación Social y/o Periodismo en el país.
Entre el afuera y el adentro. La configuración del campo académico y sus fronteras desde las prácticas comunicativas de científicas negras en Colombia
Authors: Pérez Bustos Tania , Botero Marulanda Daniela
Published: May 2019

El artículo analiza el caso de científicas negras en universidades colombianas, desde dos cuestiones fundamentales: El lugar que ocupan dichas mujeres dentro del campo científico, tomando en cuenta tanto los sistemas de medición oficiales como las asignaciones que ellas mismas, de modo reflexivo, otorgan a su papel dentro del sistema. Y segundo, analiza cómo a partir de prácticas comunicativas concretas, que asumimos como constitutivas del quehacer científico, estas mujeres se contactan con aquellos que están fuera del campo científico y se constituyen como públicos no expertos. Nuestro análisis parte de la idea de que estas prácticas comunicativas construyen tecnologías del contacto, que pueden comprenderse desde un ethos del cuidado que aboga por un sentido de reparación y repolitización de la producción de conocimiento científico.
Socrates on Egoism. Does he say we should be virtuous and egoists?
Authors: Hoyos Valdés Diana
Published: May 2019

En este artículo examino el problema de si la concepción socrática de la eudaimonia entraña el egoísmo. Esto es, si, según Sócrates, un hombre que actúa teniendo como criterio final su felicidad es un egoísta. Este punto de vista parece entrar en contradicción con lo que pensamos comúnmente acerca de lo que debe decir una teoría moral. Clasifico los intentos que se han hecho por resolver el problema en dos grupos: los formalistas y los sustantivistas, con base en sus objetivos generales. Argumento que la segunda clase de enfoque es más efectiva, puesto que trata de interpretar la teoría de Sócrates como un todo y la hace más coherente. Asume que Sócrates ofrece una teoría de la motivación humana para actuar en la que el agente busca su felicidad, pero otorgando también una función central a la amistad, el amor y la justicia.
La devoción de lo ignorado (Breve escrito sobre la investigación en humanidades)
Authors: Vélez Upegui Mauricio
Published: May 2019

El escrito se ocupa de reflexionar sobre dos nociones que conciernen al ámbito académico: investigar e investigación. En la primera sección, revisamos la etimología para considerar los niveles de sentido implicados en cada una de las expresiones mencionadas. En la segunda, nos preguntamos por el origen de la investigación y ofrecemos como respuesta la idea de afección (affectio) desarrollada por Spinoza en su Ética. Y en la tercera, nos interrogamos por el modo como el acto investigativo se manifiesta en un ser humano el papel de la pregunta. Cerramos la reflexión haciendo notar que investigar es desplegar, frente a lo que desconocemos, una actitud emotivo-intelectual a la cual nombramos como la devoción de lo ignorado.
Alfonso Reyes, crítico humanista
Authors: Restrepo David Felipe
Published: May 2019

Uno de los conceptos más divulgados por el Ateneo de la Juventud de México en 1910 fue "La Cultura de las Humanidades", y dos de sus mayores exponentes fueron Pedro Henríquez Ureña y Alfonso Reyes. Este último, justamente desde las Humanidades, fundamentó su crítica literaria haciendo de ella una de las expresiones más altas de su producción escrita. Una "crítica humanista" que tiene como centro, a su vez, la "concordia": pensar la obra de los "otros" desde la sensibilidad y la buena fe, es decir, "con-corazón". Aquí se ha recorrido el camino por el cual Alfonso Reyes llegó a esta postura, acompañando la reflexión con los conceptos sobre Humanismo desarrollados por Liliana Weinberg, Beatriz Colombi, José Miguel Oviedo y Edward Said.
La semilla del humanismo. Moralidad y ontología fundamental en Heidegger
Authors: Vélez López Germán Darío
Published: May 2019

A lo largo de todo el análisis preparatorio de la existencia humana (Dasein), Heidegger sostiene la firme convicción de la neutralidad moral de la interpretación fenomenológica. Sin embargo, al momento de determinar el sentido temporal del cuidado (Sorge) como ser del Dasein, parece como si Heidegger no resistiera más la presión del lector y se viera forzado a admitir que, en el paso de la primera a la segunda sección de Ser y tiempo un ideal de existencia, una forma peculiar de humanismo, se hiciera manifiesta y reclamara sus derechos. El propósito de este artículo consiste en mostrar una posible vía para explicar esta problemática continuidad entre ontología fundamental, moral y humanismo, mostrando cómo la finitud del Dasein determina un vínculo necesario entre estos niveles de interpretación de la vida humana.

Nación e historia. La justificación e interpretación histórica de las naciones a finales del siglo XIX y en la primera mitad del XX
Authors: Acevedo P. Rafael E.
Published: May 2019

El propósito de este texto es ofrecer una visión general de la relación entre nación e historia en los debates que se generaron por parte de los historiadores y otros intelectuales de las ciencias sociales a finales del siglo XIX y durante gran parte del siglo XX. La reflexión central que se plantea consiste entonces en estudiar y mostrar cómo al mismo tiempo que las naciones modernas eran objeto de un proceso de redefinición política, en el escenario intelectual de las ciencias sociales, y en particular de los historiadores, fueron apareciendo también un conjunto de debates y obras que intentaban problematizar y someter a consideración las relaciones que pretendían establecerse entre la nación y la historia como un elemento que las justificaba.
El Estado del bienestar racial y sus enemigos políticos y de fe. Notas de investigación de los archivos de la Gestapo en el inicio de la dictadura nacionalsocialista (1933 - 1937)
Authors: Llanos Reyes Claudio
Published: May 2019

El problema central de este artículo es aproximarnos a la relación que se dio entre el accionar de la Gestapo, la generación y mantención de un orden que debía eliminar y neutralizar a los “enemigos” del “pueblo alemán”, comunistas y católicos de oposición, y el aseguramiento de “su bienestar” durante los primeros años de la dictadura nazi. La Gestapo fue uno de los instrumentos tempranos para asegurar la neutralización de las resistencias al proyecto nacionalsocialista. Involucraba un nacionalismo extremo, que se movilizaba racial e ideológicamente en pos de la construcción de un orden social que asegurara las supuestas condiciones de vida y supremacía de los alemanes arios. Al mismo tiempo se busca recordar que históricamente la oposición existió, más allá de su incapacidad y fracaso. Si bien la dictadura tuvo aliados o cómplices en su camino de terror, también se debe mantener en la memoria histórica que hubo resistencias: no todos fueron cómplices de la dictadura nazi.
Adolfo Bernal: imagen poética y especulaciones plásticas sobre el lenguaje
Authors: Aguilar Restrepo Melissa
Published: May 2019

Este artículo constituye un ejercicio de lectura interpretativa alrededor de uno de los aspectos más relevantes en la producción artística de Adolfo Bernal (1954-2008): la apropiación de procesos propios de los campos de la literatura, el lenguaje, la comunicación y el diseño con fines artísticos. A lo largo del texto se busca poner de presente las circunstancias que originaron sus experimentaciones gráficas y conceptuales con la imagen y la palabra, las cuales guardan una estrecha relación con las transformaciones del campo artístico local en la década del setenta y una sugestiva producción poética, aún en proceso de descubrimiento. Para llevar a cabo este análisis, se proponen tres acciones: el esbozo de una caracterización de Bernal y su obra que permita situar su trabajo en un horizonte de comprensión; la revisión de los principales giros y acontecimientos en la escena artística local a partir de los años setenta; y, finalmente, el exploración de aspectos relacionales de su ejercicio poético y literario con la producción de sus carteles tipográficos para los diferentes proyectos de intervención urbana.
Después de la violencia. Memoria y justicia, de María José Bernuz y Andrés García Inda (eds.)
Authors: Gómez Gabriel Ignacio
Published: May 2019

La reciente firma del Acuerdo sobre Víctimas en la Habana el pasado 15 de diciembre de 2015 por parte del Gobierno colombiano y las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC) pone de presente una vez más la difícil tensión entre los propósitos por lograr una coexistencia pacífica y las exigencias normativas relacionadas con el deber de rendir de cuentas por parte de quienes han cometido graves violaciones de derechos humanos e infracciones al Derecho Internacional Humanitario.Pero, además, presenta un reto adicional: la posibilidad de articular los principios de justicia restaurativa y de justicia transicional.
CONDE, Francisco Javier. El hombre, animal político. Madrid: Ediciones Encuentro, 2012
Authors: Guillamón Ayala Jesús Adolfo
Published: May 2019

Magnífico libro ha tenido a bien reeditar la editorial madrileña Encuentro, situándolo como el primer volumen de la colección Mínima Política. En él, además de realizar algunas correcciones y estructurar la obra de forma más manejable para el lector, se ha encargado del estudio preliminar el profesor Jerónimo Molina, como ya hiciera con otras obras del mismo autor, Teoría y sistema de las formas políticas e Introducción al Derecho político actual, hace unos pocos años. En esta introducción, se nos ofrece un recorrido biográfico, intelectual y político por Francisco Javier Conde, sencillo, directo y profundo. Propio de quien tiene un riguroso conocimiento del autor y de su obra. Con su lectura conseguiremos enmarcar correctamente este libro en la trayectoria vital e intelectual de Conde, entre la actitud intelectual del realismo político, el fracaso en la vida de actividad política (¡cuántos sabios no habrán ido a Siracusa!) y el olvido arrastrado hasta casi nuestros días. Y digo casi, porque, según lo que hemos dicho, no son pocos los que honran a Conde y su trabajo intelectual, de gran mérito. No en vano señala el profesor Molina que este libro es un pequeño clásico contemporáneo.
La rectificación de la injusticia en Nozick: debates e implicaciones para los reclamos territoriales indígenas
Authors: Salinas Alejandra M
Published: May 2019

Robert Nozick formula el principio de rectificación de las injusticias históricas y defiende la posibilidad de una redistribución del ingreso al servicio de ese principio. En primer lugar y en el marco de su teoría política, examino aquí su idea de rectificación y luego evalúo algunas de las críticas formuladas a esa idea. En segundo lugar abordo las implicancias del principio de rectificación para los reclamos territoriales indígenas. Planteo que la rectificación así entendida no exigiría defender un modelo redistributivo, y que una propuesta más compatible con el respeto de los derechos de propiedad que Nozick defiende sería la asignación de tierras o bienes fiscales a los pueblos originarios.
Ciudadanía e integración: los derechos sociales y la globalización
Authors: Anchustegui Igartua Esteban
Published: May 2019

En este artículo se reflexiona sobre los derechos sociales, que son considerados derechos fundamentales y un prerrequisito para la integración política y la autonomía de los ciudadanos. Por tanto, ya se les considere derechos o prerrequisitos para el ejercicio de los derechos, la exclusión del acceso efectivo a ciertos servicios básicos implica una reducción de la ciudadanía como estatus civil y político. Además, la globalización económica ha producido una fuerte restricción en la aplicación estatal de las políticas sociales.
La aversión del bloque en el poder al contrato fiscal en Colombia. Breve evidencia histórica
Authors: Uribe López Mauricio
Published: May 2019

Este artículo presenta algunos de los principales ejemplos que caracterizan la histórica aversión del bloque en el poder a la construcción de la columna vertebral del Estado: un contrato fiscal sólido. Los esfuerzos de algunos gobiernos y de algunos funcionarios interesados en fortalecer la capacidad infraestructural del Estado se han tropezado regularmente con los intereses de unas fracciones de la élite que, adversas a la redistribución, han sido exitosas en bloquear el fortalecimiento fiscal del Estado. La persistencia de la larga guerra civil colombiana no es independiente de la falta de recursos necesarios para poner fin la guerra y financiar una paz sostenible.
In vitro antimicrobial activity v1
Authors: Xu Jing
Published: May 2019

Six indicator microorganisms, including the Gram-positive Enterococcus faecalis (GIM1.164), methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) (GIM1.771) and the Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli (GIM1.201) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa GIM1.200), and a pathogenic fungus Candida albicans (GIM2.169) (Microbial Culture Collection Center of Guangdong, China, CIMCC) were used to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of the extracts from the 20 fungi. The antimicrobial activities were tested using the serial dilution technique. An aliquot of extract (2 mL) was added to 198 mL of the indicator strain suspension with a density of 106 CFU/mL into each well of a 96-well microtiter plate. This mixture was incubated for 24 h/48 h at 37°C/28°C. After incubation, the absorbance of the wells at 630 nm was measured using a microplate reader. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was assigned to the lowest concentration that completely inhibited the growth of the indicator microorganisms. Ciprofloxacin was used as the positive control. All the assays were performed in triplicate to maximize their reliability and reproducibility.
Extraction and isolation of the compounds v1
Authors: Xu Jing
Published: May 2019

One fungal strain HL14 (Pestalotiopsis mangiferae) was selected to study its fermentation products. The EtOAc fraction of the concentrated extract was subjected to silica gel chromatography (200-300 mesh) using a solvent of dichloromethane and ethyl acetate (15:1,1:1, v/v) to yield four fractions (1-4). Antimicrobial and antioxidant activity tests were performed to determine the inhibitory effect of the different fractions. Fraction 1, the most active antioxidant, was subjected to silica gel chromatography using a solvent of petroleum ether and ethyl acetate (5:1,1:1) to yield five fractions (1.1,1.5). Fraction 1.4, the most active fraction, was then subjected to Sephadex LH-20 chromatography using a solvent of dichloromethane and methanol (1:1) to yield three fractions (1.4.1, 1.4.3). Fraction 1.4.2, the most active fraction, was subjected to silica gel chromatography using a solvent of petroleum ether and ethyl acetate (10:1) to yield eight fractions (1.4.2.1, 1.4.2.8). Fraction 1.4.2.5, the most active fraction, was subjected to a solvent of petroleum ether and ethyl acetate (5:1) to yield the component designated compound I.

Single-nucleus isolation from frozen human lung tissue for single-nucleus RNA-seq v1
Authors: Joshi Nikita , Misharin Alexander
Published: May 2019

We aimed to develop a protocol for isolation of the single nuclei from the archival frozen human lung tissue suitable for single cell RNA-seq using standard 10x Genomics chemistry. The protocol utilizes standard nuclei isolation buffer (Nuclei EZ buffer) supplemented with RNase inhibitor and a protease inhibitor. For the homogenization step, we elected to use C Tube and GentleMACS tissue dissociation as a way to standardize the homogenization procedure. To maintain nuclei integrity we skipped washing steps and instead use large volumes of washing buffer and proceed to FACSorting immediately after lysis for nuclei purification. This protocol produces a good yield of nuclei and diverse libraries, with multiple cell types being detected. While the number of detected genes and UMI per nuclei is lower than for single cell RNAseq, it is sufficient for identification of the specific cell types, including rare populations. Moreover, snRNAseq allowed resolution of the cell types that are intimately integrated into the lung matrix and otherwise hard to resolve: fibroblasts and type 1 alveolar epithelial cells. We thank Oni Basu (UChicago), Luciano Martelotto (Monash University), Nicole Abreu (10x Genomics) and Sharmila Chatterjee (10x Genomics) for their advice.
Yin and Yang of Pluripotency: Results of Analysis of Genes Overexpressed In Tumor-Initiating Cells of Krebs-2 Ascites Carcinoma

Published: May 2019

Functional analysis of 167 genes overexpressed in Krebs-2 tumor initiating cells was performed. Genes were assigned to the three functional groups that determine the malignant phenotype of cancer cells. These groups represent the following features of tumor cells: proliferative self-sufficiency, invasive growth and metastasis, and multiple drug resistance. Malignancy of cancer stem cells was found to be provided by the same genes that provide the stemness of normal pluri-/multipotent stem cells. These results suggest that the malignancy is just the ability to maintain the stem cell specific genes expression profile, and, as a consequence, the stemness itself regardless of the controlling effect of stem niches.

The Neo-Darwinian ideology
Authors: Gafton Francisc , Chirilă Adina
Published: May 2019

When it comes to evolutionism, the common belief holds that Neo-Darwinism is still the best evolutionist explanation, because it contains the Darwinist explanation, improved through adjustments and additions provided by the current scientific research, which wouldn’t be but thorough, objective, and completely non-ideological. In fact, throughout its existence, Neo-Darwinism has failed in maintaining a clear line of thinking, oriented by pure facts. At some point, it became obvious that, by following its original paradigm, the problem of evolution could not be resolved; thus, during the second half of the 20th century, a few attempts were made in order to improve Neo-Darwinism, without the expected results. The failure can be explained through one of the current’s drawbacks: the inflexible and arrogant rejection of the Lamarckian position on the matter of evolution. Recent research, as well as logical deductions issued from the observation of what Nature produces urge the revision of paradigms and the repeal of any dogma. The gain would be that of the science and of the human knowledge.
On the separation of the Moldavian estates after the Bucharest Peace (1812). Several additions
Authors: Zahariuc Petronel
Published: May 2019

After the occupation of Moldavia between the Pruth and the Dniester, the Russian Empire imposed, through the Bucharest peace, to the estate owners to choose within 18 months the country side where they would live. For a while, the Romanians believed that the Russian army would retreat, like it happened beforehand, so they postponed making a decision until the fall of 1813, when they had to “separate” themselves from the estates to the left or to the right of the Pruth. Most of the great landowners chose to stay in Moldavia under Ottoman domination. Hence, proportionally, most of the estates sold were on the side of the country occupied by the Russian Empire. The way this process unfolded was reconstructed by Alexandru Lapedatu (1916), and the current paper brings a series of additions and clarifications, as well as a list, unpublished and unused in the Romanian historiography, with 387 villages and parts of villages, from Moldavia left from the Pruth, sold or changed in the last two months of the year 1813 and in the first days of the year 1814. At the same time, this paper suggests, at a general level, the way the separation of estates and families led to the separation of Moldavia, but, at the same time, secondarily, this multitude of names of settlements and masters may be used, sometime in the future, to the elaboration of a historical and toponymic study of the localities from the left of the Pruth, following the model of the one elaborated for the localities on the right bank of the Pruth by the toponymy collective with the “A. Philippide” Romanian Philology Institute, coordinated by Prof. Dragoș Moldovanu.
Despre desfacerea proprietăților din Moldova după pacea de la București (1812). Cîteva adăugiri
Authors: Zahariuc Petronel
Published: May 2019

După ocuparea Moldovei dintre Prut și Nistru, Imperiul Rus a impus, prin pacea de la București, ca, în termen de 18 luni, proprietarii de moșii să-și aleagă partea de țară în care vor locui. Pentru o vreme, românii au crezut că armata rusă se va retrage, așa cum a făcut și altă dată, astfel că au amînat luarea unei decizii pînă în toamna anului 1813, atunci cînd au trebuit să se „desfacă” de moșiile din stînga sau din dreapta Prutului. Cei mai mulți dintre marii proprietari au ales să rămînă în Moldova de sub stăpînire otomană, de aceea, poporținal, cea mai mare parte dintre moșiile vîndute au fost din partea de țară ocupată de Imperiul rus. Modul cum s-a realizat acest proces a fost reconstituit de Alexandru Lapedatu (1916), iar prezentul articol aduce o serie de adăugiri și lămuriri, precum și o listă, inedită și nefolosită în istoriografia românească, cu 387 de sate și părți de sate, din Moldova din stînga Prutului, vîndute sau schimbate în ultimele două luni ale anului 1813 și în primele zile ale anului 1814. Totodată, din acest articol se poate observa, la nivel general, felul în care separarea proprietăților și a familiilor a dus la ruperea Moldovei, însă, totodată, în plan secund, acest noian de nume de așezări și de stăpîni va putea fi folosit, cîndva, la realizarea unui dicționar istoric și toponimic al localităților din stînga Prutului, după modelul aceluia alcătuit pentru localitățile din dreapta Prutului de colectivul de toponimie de la Institutul de Filologie Română „A. Philippide”, coordonat de profesorul Dragoș Moldovanu.
Aspects of relevance in the Romanian political discourse
Authors: Ene Ana
Published: May 2019

This paper investigates political discourse from the perspective of relevance theory in relation to the function of reasonable persuasion oriented towards voters. The research’ objectives are to identify and to describe: 1) the mechanisms of persuasion used in election campaign speeches; 2) the meta-strategy of miming dialogue; 3) the manner in which political discourse infringes upon the principles of relevance. The accomplishment of the objectives requires a two-fold methodology: rhetorical and linguistic by means of instruments of lexical-semantic, pragma-stylistic and logical-argumentative analysis. The research is focused on political election campaigns speeches: slogans and speeches of the Romanian recent election campaigns.

The most frequently encountered discourse strategies are: i) the use of various types of fallacious reasoning and ii) vague language.
Forme și funcții ale limbajului vag în rezumate ale unor articole publicate în reviste științifice
Authors: Cusen Gabriela
Published: May 2019

Această lucrare raportează o investigație exploratorie a componentelor (engl. moves) IMRaD ale rezumatelor (Introducere, Metodă, Rezultate și Discuții) care demonstrează gradul de informare în termeni de explicabilitate referențială a textelor academice și utilizarea limbajului vag în rezumate ale articolelor publicate în reviste academice în 2010 și 2011. Domeniile de cercetare asupra cărora se concentrează aceste articole și rezumatele lor sînt: limbă și lingvistică, literatură și studii culturale. Analiza datelor, bazată pe un cadru de analiză existent (Cutting, 2012), a arătat că autorii folosesc limbaj vag—de exemplu, substantive cu sens generic, mecanisme de eschivare (hedging devices), cuantificatori vagi etc.—și că rezumatele constau în principal din componentele introducere și discuții. Rezultatele cercetării asupra redactării rezumatelor articolelor științifice pot fi de folos atît cercetătorilor debutanți care publică astfel de articole, cît și cadrelor didactice universitare care le îndrumă activitatea.
Dinamica în limbă
Authors: Biro Valentin Dragoș
Published: May 2019

Limba este supusă unui proces de dublă definire: prin atributul sistemului de realitate statică, datorată inerției la schimbare, și prin caracterul de permanentă producere de acte de limbaj, prin vorbire. Sub presiunea nevoilor concrete de comunicare, o limbă se află într-o continuă dinamică ce asigură progresul sau regresul limbii, ambele aspecte, alături de modificările neutre, reprezentînd, în fapt, evoluția limbii. Articolul vine astfel cu o necesară delimitare conceptuală între evoluția și progresul limbii, pe de o parte, dar și între cauzele ce determină evoluția și evoluția în sine, ca proces.

Lingvistica a cunoscut abordări radical diferite asupra obiectului său de studiu, limbajul natural uman: perspectivele asupra limbii diferă de la rețeaua de relații care fac elementele ce compun o limbă sau alta să capete calitatea de sisteme, la produs al libertății și voinței umane, căci limba nu poate fi separată de libertatea vorbitorilor, sau la atenția acordată semnificațiilor, acestea fiind întotdeauna construite social, pe baza interacțiunilor dintre membrii unei comunități. Într-o atare diversitate a punctelor de vedere exprimate în care divergența domină convergența, articolul își propune în subsidiar să fixeze din perspectivă diacronică definirea lingvisticii ca însemnînd, în principal, istoria evoluțiilor pe care limbajul le-a cunoscut de la începuturile sale.
Observations regarding the lexical content at the beginnings of structural semantics
Authors: Moscal Dinu
Published: May 2019

This study focuses on the difficulties noted by a series of German lexicologists at the beginnings of structural semantics as part of their attempt to identify a possible method of organizing the lexis of a language. Their studies, beginning with Jost Trier, focused on the analysis of certain lexical groups called Wortfelder (“lexical fields”), regarded as parts of a completely organized lexis. Their idealistic perception—according to which the whole lexis of a language has an inner organization that needs to be discovered—was confronted with some major issues. Our first observation, based on some examples from the lexis, reveals the fact that certain words cannot be classified as belonging to a specific lexical field. Another observation is related to the semantic continuum of the lexical field, which is compared in some works with the image of a mosaic. These issues are detailed by the argumentations of the German lexicologists, whose research was based on a diachronic analysis of the lexis. Their views were exploited in the second stage of the theorization of lexical fields.

Additionally, experimental studies are performed using AlexNet and GoogleNet pre-trained CNNs. Detailed experimental results are presented.
Projects waterways seas in the Soviet Union at the Dnipro as an extension of the concept Intermarium after World War II
Authors: Satskyi Pavlo
Published: May 2019

The author of the article has been analysing the problems, which had important significance for the new and modern history and for the system of international relations in the Central Europe, i.e. the realisation of the project of uniting of the Baltic and Black Seas as a single political project. It was the well-known idea of the Intermarium, which was popular in the political history for a number of decades and was used by the Polish foreign policy. However, a similar idea was also born in Russia during the Seven Years’ War in the years of 1756-1763. The idea of uniting of the Baltic and Black Seas in terms of the single political 111 project was also relevant in the 20th century before the beginning of the World War II.However, after the end of the war it has gained new technocratic meaning in theUSSR. In USSR the project of the uniting the Baltic and Black Seas was being implemented, into which this country had a relatively easy exit after the integration of the Baltic states by means of the creation of water transport route from the Dnieper. The beginning of the realisation of this idea was building of The Kakhovka Hydroelectric Station and the Southern-Ukrainian and Northern-Crimea channels. In terms of the realisation of this project there were also plans to create the connection of the Dnieper channel with the Azov Sea. In the process of the discussions related to the question of the expediency of building of the Southern-Ukrainian and Northern-Crimea channels, which took place in 1952, the building of the channel uniting Dnieper with the Azov Sea remained among the top questions for discussions. But there was one controversial question related to the orientation of the before mentioned channel, i.e. according to the Meridian or parallelly, that is parallelly to the Sivash, which separated the Crimea from the mainland. In 1954 the Academy of Sciences of Ukrainian SSR suggested the project of the uniting of the Baltic Sea with the Black Sea in terms of the creating of the Waterways System in the European part of the USSR. All technical projects related to the uniting of the Baltic Sea with the Black Sea with the help of highways remained to be the ideas only. However, one can notice the strategical importance of the development of these ideas and the geopolitical role of the Dnieper river and Sivash, which are strategically interrelated projects.
