“Det är övergripande, en tolkning, kring vad jag tycker den ska innehålla”: En intervjustudie rörande undervisningen om läroplanens område kring sexualitet, samtycke och relationer för de lägre årskurserna, F-3
Authors: Rudolf Emelie , Lind Annika
Published: November 2022

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur sex stycken tillfrågade lärare för grundskolans lägre årskurser F-3 upplever sin undervisning kring läroplanens område sexualitet, samtycke och relationer. Studien utgår från Sandra Hardings genusteori samt Judith Butlers begrepp kring performativitet. Studien är tänkt att synliggöra hur lärare i de lägre årskurserna undervisar kring läroplanens område sexualitet, samtycke och relationer samt att lyfta hur undervisningen balanseras mellan kön och normer.  Resultatet av studien visar att det upplevs finnas svårigheter kring framför allt ämnet sexualitet i läroplanens område sexualitet, samtycke och relationer där det framkommer en osäkerhet kring vad undervisningen förväntas innehålla samt den egna lärarens svårighet att veta hur ämnet ska anpassas till grundskolans lägre åldrar. Inte heller sexuella övergrepp och grooming lyfts av fler än två av de sex tillfrågade lärarna, något som inte svarar mot det eventuella behovet av sådan undervisningen med tanke på att forskning visar hur vanligt det är med sexuella övergrepp hos barn.Studiens resultat visar också på att lärarna har ett väletablerat normkritiskt förhållningssätt där de aktivt reflekterar över sina egna normer och språkbruk för att inte förstärka normer i sin undervisning. I och med detta aktiva normkritiska förhållningssätt påvisade studien knappa svårigheter kring balansen mellan kön och normer i undervisningen inom området sexualitet, samtycke och relationer. Normerna kring genus uppfattades av de tillfrågade lärarna skapas utanför skolverksamheten. Eleverna upplevdes av lärarna att vara medvetna om normer hörande till de olika könen, vilket styrks av tidigare forskning där kulturella definitioner av manligt och kvinnligt påverkar barn även i yngre ålder. Resultatet av studien förklaras utifrån Hardings genusteori där lärarnas individuella normer kring genus, som är en produkt av hur de strukturella och symboliska normerna i samhället ser ut, kan ha en inverkan på hur de tolkar innehållet i läroplanens område sexualitet, samtycke och relationer. Det tolkas även utifrån Butlers begrepp om performativitet, att våra handlingar och ord skapar normer, där lärarna riskerar att påverka undervisningen i och med att undervisningen eventuellt kan föra vidare beteenden och normer som är påverkade av den individuella tolkningen av området.

Geosphere and Biosphere coevolution: the role of trace metals availability in the evolution of biogeochemistry
Authors: Giovannelli Donato
Published: November 2022

Earth’s geosphere and biosphere have coevolved over time, influencing each other’s stability and keeping our planet habitable for most of its 4.543 billion years of history. Biogeochemical cycles play a key role in controlling this interaction, connecting long-term geological cycles and the much faster evolution of the Earth’s outer biologically dominated envelopes. A small set of microbial-encoded proteins containing redox-sensitive transition metals as their core catalytic center carry out the majority of the key biogeochemical reactions. Metals such as Fe, Co, Ni, Zn, Mo, W, V, and Cu are used in these proteins to access diverse redox couples as a function of the changing planetary availability of these elements over time. Despite the importance of this process, the relationship between metal availability and metabolism evolution and diversity has not been investigated in detail. I pose that elucidating the impact of transition metal availability on microbial functional diversity holds the key to understanding the co-evolution of life and our planet, potentially unlocking a number of important discoveries at the core of diverse fields such as earth sciences, astrobiology, microbial ecology, and biotechnology.
Neuropsychological deficits in disordered screen-use behaviours: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Published: November 2022

Over the last few decades, excessive and disordered screen use has become more prevalent, prompting investigations into its associated consequences. The extent to which disordered screen use behaviours impact neuropsychological functioning has been reportedly mixed and at times inconsistent. This review sought to synthesise the literature and estimate the magnitude of overall cognitive impairment across a wide range of disordered screen use behaviours. We also sought to determine the cognitive domains most impacted, and whether the observed impairments were moderated by the classification of screen-related behaviours (i.e., internet or gaming) or the format of cognitive test administration (i.e., paper and pencil or computerised). A systematic search of databases (Embase, PsycINFO, MEDLINE) identified 43 cross-sectional articles that assessed neuropsychological performance in disordered screen use populations, 34 of which were included in the meta-analysis. A random-effects meta-analysis revealed significant small/medium (g = .38) cognitive deficits for individuals with disordered screen use behaviours relative to controls. The most affected cognitive domain with a significant medium effect size (g = .50) was attention and focus followed by a significant reduction in executive functioning (g = .31). The classification of disordered screen use behaviours into internet or gaming categories or the format of cognitive testing did not moderate these deficits. This study highlights a number of methodological considerations that may have contributed to disparate findings and shows that disordered screen use can significantly impact cognitive performance. Recommendations for future research are also discussed.
Development and Validation of the Olfactory Memory Test Battery (OMTB) Based on Odors with High- and Low-Verbalizability
Authors: Li Shu-bin , Yan Chao , hummel thomas , Zou Laiquan
Published: November 2022

Odor memory is an important field of clinical research for its distinctive characteristics, which differ from those of other sensory systems. To date, several tests have been implemented for the assessment of odor memory. Despite a range of studies demonstrating the importance of verbal mediation in odor memory, few have distinguished odor memory performance in different odor verbalization levels. We aimed to develop a standardized odor memory test toolbox with one group of odors that are easily verbally identified and the other group of odors that are difficult to identify. The study was conducted with 97 healthy participants. Twenty people were involved in a pre-test for odor preparation. Seventy-seven people took part in the formal test and 50 of them volunteered for a retest after 3 to 7 days. The test contained two odor categories (high- and low-verbalizability odors), each consisting of three subtests (short- and long-term memory and working memory). Satisfactory test-retest reliability of the odor recognition and working memory test were shown in both odor categories. We use both the Sniffin’ Test of memory (16 items) and a digit span test as criteria: all subtests were shown to have high correlations with them, indicating that the Olfactory Memory Test Battery has a solid validity. Moreover, people scored significantly better with high- than low-verbalizability odors. A negative age effect on odor memory performance was also found. Results from the present study indicated that odors with high verbalizability produced higher scores in the memory test compared to odors with low verbalizability. In addition, the Olfactory Memory Test Battery is a comprehensive assessment of odor memory with good reliability and validity. It contains high- and low-verbalizability odors and each category has three subtests. They can be used independently or in combination according to clinical and research needs.
Individual Differences in Second-Order False-Belief Understanding and Executive Abilities: A Meta-Analytic Review of Evidence from School-Age Children and Adults
Authors: M. Peloquin Claudie , McDermott Catherine , Moses Louis J
Published: November 2022

Theory of Mind (ToM) and Executive Functioning (EF) are two pillars of human social cognition often studied in conjunction, but rarely considered together beyond childhood. Adults routinely undertake ToM activities of higher levels, such as those that require reasoning recursively through other individuals’ presumed reasoning about others (e.g., she believes that he believes that this is difficult to grasp). Yet, the possibility of links between EF and these special kinds of representations, termed second-order ToM, has been much less studied empirically (Corballis, 2014; Dennett, 1987; Dunbar, 2011; Kinderman et al., 1998; Miller et al., 1970; Perner & Wimmer, 1985). The objective of the current pre-registered report is to provide a meta-analytic review of the extant literature linking second-order ToM and EF in school-age children and adults. Studies reporting on the relation between EF and second-order ToM were located through systematic search of published and non-published research databases. A final set of 32 studies were meta-analyzed, providing 83 effect sizes and a pooled N of over 2584 child and adult participants. The developmental literature provided evidence of moderate second-order ToM-EF linkage in children (r= .25), which resisted statistical adjustment for age, and did not differ on the basis of children’s cultural background. In contrast, the adult findings were weaker (r= .09), and only accounted for a very small percentage of the meta-analyzed literature. Important methodological gaps were identified, highlighting the need for more research on the links between second-order ToM and EF.

Published: November 2022

Facilitating the uptake and making better use of technological advances will be pivotal for counseling and clinical psychology to respond to the rising call for more community-based and person-centered care. While the Experience Sampling Method (ESM), a structured self-report digital diary, could help facilitate this transition, it is currently unclear how practitioners envision using ESM in clinical practice. Focus groups were organized with 36 mental health practitioners (Mage = 39.37, SDage = 12.18, 58.33% female) across Flanders (Belgium). Four broad topics were discussed: (1) how to use ESM, (2) how to visualize clinically relevant information, (3) the software requirements thereof, and (4) barriers and facilitators for implementing ESM in clinical practice. Thematic analysis was conducted and Cohen's Kappa was calculated to measure inter-rater reliability. Cohen's Kappa was .79, indicating good inter-rater reliability. Different clinical applications emerged (e.g., screening, evaluation of treatment). Practitioners expressed difficulty determining how to visualize ESM data, and novel features for use emerged (e.g., integration with electronic health records). Various barriers (e.g., lack of best-practice guidelines) and facilitators (e.g., simplicity) to clinical implementation were identified. Implications for clinical implementation and future software development work are discussed.

Authors: Acharya N. , Chakradhar A. , Kafle D.
Published: November 2022

Background Pulp stones or “denticles” are a frequent finding in coronal and radicular pulp of primary and permanent dentition. These discrete calcified bodies can be seen in a healthy, diseased and sometimes even in an unerupted tooth. These calcifications are mostly present in molars as free, attached or embedded to dentine of pulp chamber or root canals.

Objective To determine the occurrence of pulp stones in molars of selected adult Nepalese population using radiographs and assess the association of its occurrence gender and arch wise.

Method A descriptive cross-sectional study was performed using orthopantomogram of total 380 patients (190 male and 190 females) of age group ranging from 16-30 years by convenience sampling. Data were collected through the examination of both hard and soft copies of radiographs under magnification. Pulp stones were scored as present or absent and their association with gender and dental arch were recorded. Descriptive statistics and chi square test was performed to see the prevalence and to compare the occurrence of pulp stone respectively.

Result Out of 380 radiographic samples, pulp stones were present in 41.05% of the samples. The occurrence of pulp stones were found to be higher in females than in males, although the difference was not statistically significant (p=0.060).The total number of teeth with pulp stones was 238 and 61 in maxillary and mandibular arches respectively, with statistically significant difference (p<0.001).

Conclusion The overall occurrence of pulp stone was found to be 41.05%. It was observed more in females (45.78%) than in males (37%) and more frequently located in maxillary molars (29.2%) than in mandibular molars (8.2%).

Authors: Rauniyar G. P. , Sinha R. , Chapagain K. , Maskey R. , Pandey D. R.
Published: November 2022

Background Momordica charantia is evolving as supplementary therapy in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Animal studies reveal its anti-diabetic and lipid lowering property. However, clinical studies with human subjects are very few.

Objective To find out the effects of Momordica charantia supplements on glycemic and lipid profile among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients taking allopathic drugs.

Method A comparative study was conducted in internal medicine department of B P Koirala Institute of Health Sciences, Dharan from July 2015 to May 2016 after ethical clearance. Twenty two uncomplicated type-2 diabetes mellitus patients were enrolled. Group A patients were supplemented with allopathic drug (oral anti-diabetic agents) only and Group B with add on treatment of 200 ml juice of Momordica charantia along with allopathic drug daily for ninety days. Fasting, post prandial blood sugar and lipid profile levels were compared between baseline and ninety days post supplementation. Data was collected and entry was done in Statistical Packages for Social Services version 20.0, using independent t test with p < 0.05.

Result Add on treatment with 200 ml of Momordica charantia along with anti-diabetic drug daily significantly reduced fasting (p= < 0.0001) and post prandial blood sugar (p=< 0.0001). Treatment with anti-diabetic drugs only reduced fasting (p = 0.0008) and post-prandial blood sugar but the reduction was not significant ((p =0.0001). There was improvement in lipid profile by both anti-diabetic drugs alone and Momordica charantia along with anti-diabetic drug, but it was not significant.

Conclusion Add on treatment with 200 ml/day juice of Momordica charantia is effective in glycaemic control in type-2 diabetes mellitus patients as compared to the allopathic treatment alone.

Published: November 2022

Background Thrombocytopenia is a common haematological abnormality noted in clinical practice, however, it can be missed in cases where specific investigations are not asked for. Acute Febrile Illness with thrombocytopenia is a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge, as thrombocytopenia has an inverse relation to mortality and morbidity in various febrile illnesses. Vector-borne and zoonotic diseases (like malaria, dengue, scrub typhus, and leptospirosis), infections and sepsis are some of the common causes of fever with thrombocytopenia.

Objective To identify the causes of fever with thrombocytopenia, assess the clinical complications associated with febrile thrombocytopenia, and overall study the clinical profile of thrombocytopenia in a tertiary care hospital.

Method Medical records of all adult patients, admitted to a tertiary level hospital, with fever and thrombocytopenia (platelet count < 1,00,000 /mm3) were assessed (from October 2009 to March 2011). Detailed case history, general physical examination findings, routine and specific examinations were recorded according to a pre-decided format. Data were analysed using SPSS 16.0

Result Acute febrile illness with thrombocytopenia was most commonly seen in Dengue patients. Headache and arthralgia were more commonly encountered in scrub typhus. Platelet transfusions were necessitated in a large number of patients, especially in scrub typhus. Malaria patients had the highest mortality rate.

Conclusion Acute Febrile Illnesses (AFI) are of varied origins, and proper diagnosis is imperative. The degree of thrombocytopenia in infections has a prognostic value. It can also help in differential diagnosis and clear identification of aetiology of acute febrile illnesses. Timely identification and management of thrombocytopenia in acute febrile illness can positively impact the overall patient outcome.

Authors: Karmakar N. , Datta A. , Nag K.
Published: November 2022

Background Intake of excess salt can lead to high blood pressure a leading cause of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). The behaviour risk factors for hypertension including high salt consumption, alcohol and tobacco use and physical inactivity; among them, salt intake reduction is one of the most cost-effective ways to control hypertension and CVD.

Objective To find out the practice of salt intake control among rural and urban women of Tripura.

Method This community based cross-sectional study was conducted among 400 housewives from rural and urban areas of Tripura, India for a period of ten months (June 2017-March 2018). A pre-tested, semi-structured interview schedule was used to collect required information regarding their socio-demographic, behavioural characteristics, family history and practice of salt intake control etc. The collected data was entered in SPSS version 16.0, represented in proportions and p<0.05 was considered as statistically significant.

Result In present study, less than half of the participants (46% rural vs 41.5% urban) from both areas have good practice on control of salt intake. The mean control scores of rural and urban housewives were 9.7200±1.63246 and 9.4750±1.68927 respectively. Rural housewives had more control of extra salt intake in comparison to urban housewives but difference was not statistically significant (p>0.05). Majority Hindu housewives in rural areas had good control of salt intake than urban housewives (p<0.05).

Conclusion The current study found less than half of the participants both in rural and urban areas have good control of dietary salt intake. This finding may provide an idea for development of intervention strategies aiming at increasing salt control-related awareness.

These risk factors of advancing age, male gender and co-existing health conditions like cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and obesity do not fully explain why some people have no or mild symptoms whereas others have severe symptoms. Genomewide association study (GWAS) identify a 3p21.31 gene cluster as a genetic susceptibility locus in patients with COVID-19 with respiratory failure. They also found a higher risk among persons with blood group A and protective effect for blood group O than among patients with other blood groups. The particular haplotype in a region of chromosome 3 is contributed to modern humans by neandertals. Another Neanderthal haplotype on chromosome 12 is associated with a 22% reduction in relative risk of becoming severely ill with COVID-19. The ApoE e4e4 homozygous genotype was found to increase the risk of severe COVID-19. Change in angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) 2 gene was also found to be associated with increased risk of COVID-19, cardiovascular and pulmonary conditions.
Isolated Leprosy of Bilateral Ear Lobes, A Rare Presentation of Leprosy
Authors: Paudel V. , Chudal D.
Published: November 2022

Hansen disease is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae. It can present with a variety of clinical manifestations depending on the immune status. Ear lobes are commonly involved in leprosy. However, isolated earlobe involvement of both ear lobes is rare. We present a case of a 25-year-old man who presented with isolated swelling of both pinna, which on slit skin smear turned to be multi-bacillary leprosy. The bilateral pinna swelling started as asymptomatic, multiple skin colored shiny papules which progressively became lobular over a period of a year. Isolated involvement of the pinna in a patient without lesions in other body parts is an unusual initial presentation of leprosy. However, leprosy should be kept as a rare differential diagnosis of isolated lesions on the ear in patients not responding to conventional treatment.

Published: November 2022

Background and Aims: Coronary artery disease is one of the important causes of deaths in females in many countries. Females with chest pain are more likely to be treated in a different way as compared to males at the time of presentation. Worldwide, there has been a considerable rise in the number of females who are undergoing coronary angiography recently.

Methods: This study was a single-centre, prospective, observational study conducted in the department of cardiology, MCVTC, Tribhuvan University, Nepal. The study period was from 5th  July 2020 to  4th July 2021.155 female patients with anginal chest pain were enrolled. Data were collected after thorough history taking, physical examination, laboratory investigations, and coronary angiography. They were further divided into three age groups:<50 years,50-65 years and >65 years. Subsequently statistical analysis was done using latest version of SPSS.

Results: The mean age of the patients was 59.64 years (SD=11.428). There were 119 (76.77%) postmenopausal patients. The most prevalent risk factor of IHD  was HTN (43.87% ). Obesity/overweight was most common (58.62%) in those with age <50 years. DM was most common (26.32%) in age group 50-65 years. HTN was the most prevalent (52.63%) in age group 50-65 years. The maximum proportion of dyslipidemic patients (34.21%) were found in age group 50-65 years. 52.25% patients presented with acute coronary syndrome. 33.55% patients had normal coronary arteries. 11.61% patients had nonobstructive coronary artery disease.

Obstructive coronary artery disease was found in 51.61% patients. IN patients with obstructive CAD, LAD was the most commonly involved vessel followed by RCA .

Conclusion: Findings from our study shows higher prevalence of risk factors for IHD in Nepalese females. This study also demonstrates that as females get older and become postmenopausal, the number of risk factors for CAD increases. Understanding the risk factors for CAD and angiographic patterns in females could be helpful in implementing optimal treatment strategies in females with angina.

Published: November 2022

Background and Aims: In the era of left main angioplasty, the aim of this study is to evaluate the applicability of Finet’s law in left main diameter calculation and establish this as a useful feasible alternative  tool to intravascular ultrasound  in the left main intervention.

Methods: A total of 164 patients who underwent coronary angiography at PAHS  due to suspicion of coronary artery disease between 1st January 2017 and April 2020 were included. The left main diameter(do-QCA) was calculated using the Quantitative coronary angiographic (QCA) method and correlated with the Left main diameter (do-finets) derived from Finet’s law which takes into account the diameter (d1) of the proximal left anterior descending artery (LAD) and left  circumflex (LCX) diameter (d2) derived from QCA, added together and multiplied by the factor of 0.678 i.e do-finets=0.678(d1+d2).

Results: Using the Bivariate Pearson correlation method, do-QCA was found to have a positive correlation with do-finets with a correlation coefficient of (r=0.721) significant at the level of P value 0.01 (2-tailed).

Conclusion: The application of Finet’s Law using the QCA method has been found to be a handy feasible alternative tool to intravascular ultrasound   in calculating the left main diameter for the left main intervention where intravascular ultrasound  is not available or economic constraint prevails.

Published: November 2022

Background and Aims: To assess the difficulties encountered while performing coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention in anomalous right coronary artery arising from the left sinus of Valsalva.

Methods: Between January 2016 and December 2020, a total of 23 patients underwent coronary angiography and eight underwent percutaneous coronary intervention for an angiographic significant lesion in the anomalous right coronary artery arising from the left sinus of Valsalva. The vascular approach, usage of catheters, fluoroscopic time, and the amount of contrast used were also assessed.

Results: Among 6000 coronary angiography and 1500 percutaneous coronary intervention performed, 33 patients (0.55%) had right coronary artery arising from the left sinus of Valsalva. Altogether, 14 patients had type-A, seven had Type-B, eight had Type-C, and four had Type-D anomalous right coronary artery arising from the left sinus of Valsalva. Coronary Angiography was accomplished with the Tiger catheter in 13 patients, Judkins left JL in 8 patients, and Extra-backup (XB3) in one patient. In the percutaneous coronary intervention group, cannulation was done with Judkins left (JL), Amplatz left (AL), and XB in five, two, and one patient respectively and among five type-A patients, four were cannulated with JL and one with XB; one Type-B with JL4; and two Type-C with AL2. The mean fluoroscopic time and contrast volume consumption for coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention were 9.9 minutes and 47 minutes respectively and 63ml and 229 ml respectively.

Conclusion: Coronary intervention of anomalous right coronary artery arising from the left sinus of Valsalva is difficult due to inappropriate selection of guide catheter and is associated with a higher both mean fluoroscopic time and contrast volume. Radial route is equally effective for successful procedure.
Polyvariability in Interpretation of The Concept "Cultural Discourse" in The Modern Media Space
Authors: Skoryk Adriana
Published: November 2022

The media space is considered as an information and communication system capable to create a new reality (hyper-reality), which is characterized by its own language, signs, symbols, codes, that acquire a multifunctional role in the process of its representation. They also, thanks to the rapid spread of information, contribute to self-identification and socialization of a certain cultural environment, the formation of social consciousness of individuals, their valuable experience. It was found that in the global media space, communication obtains the characteristics of a driving force that not only creates values and encourages their development, but also shapes the culture of humanity. The essence of the concept of "cultural discourse in the modern media space" is highlighted, with the definition of determinants leading to its multivariate interpretation. Emphasis is placed on the mandatory presence of "language within language" in the cultural discourse, which is possible only within the limits of communicative acts in the process of "live" dialogue, crossing the boundaries between "own" and "foreign". The experience of "crossing borders" is analyzed in the context of this phenomenon as an act of transgression with going beyond the boundaries, when the understanding of the basic value orientations and meanings of traditional cultural life disappears. The transcultural, integrative, communicative, dialogic and other leading signs of the multivariate interpretation of the concept of "cultural discourse in the modern media space" are characterized. The main functions of cultural discourse are described (informative, communicative, intermedial, axiological, ideological, entertaining, integrative, and socially adaptive), which assume and even require discursive practices to be interconnected or to exclude such practices, reflecting the specificity of the sociocultural process. It is proven that each interpretation of the concept of "cultural discourse in the modern media space" directs emphasis on certain value orientations of the singular and unique with the recognition of individual differences and their significance in the presented version of the given phenomenon.
Mykola Sylvansky’s Cultural and Pedagogical Activities as A Unique Aspect of His Creative Biography
Authors: Zubai Yury
Published: November 2022

The article focuses on the cultural and pedagogical activity of Mykola Yosypovich Silvanskyi at the general and specialized piano department at the P. I. Tchaikovsky Kyiv Conservatory. The facts of his creative biography are presented on the basis of the studied materials that are stored in the Central Archive-Museum of Literature and Arts of Ukraine also in the archive of the P. I. Tchaikovsky National Music Academy of Ukraine. Knowledges have also been gained due to the interviews with colleagues, students and relatives of M. Silvanskyi. Mykola Yosypovych's compositional work formed the basis of the cultural-pedagogical activity of the artist, because his works are still actively performed both by professional pianists and by students of conservatories at various stages of learning to play the piano. The personal qualities of the artist, which are described in the article, are important for the comprehensive characterization of his cultural and pedagogical activity. The features of his individual performance style are outlined as the features of a pianist with a romantic orientation (this is evidenced by concert programs found in archival posters). The repertoire policy of M. Silvanskyi in the class of general and specialized piano is described, as well as its inextricable relationship with his stage performance and compositional work. The study determines the factors that form the didactic principles of teaching students to play the piano, leading among which was the principle of practical demonstration of the most effective methods aimed at achieving the desired results (borrowed from Ya. Flier during his studies at the P. I. Tchaikovsky Moscow Conservatory). It is proven that a whole generation of student composers, studying with Mykola Yosypovych in the general piano class, formed artistic and aesthetic values that became leading in their further creative activity and influenced the development of Ukrainian piano music of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The need for further study and understanding of the significance of M. Silvanskyi's creative activity for a better understanding of the artist's role in the development of Ukrainian musical culture is emphasized.
International Activity of P. I. Tchaikovsky National Music Academy of Ukraine as A Vector of Brand Development of A Higher Educational Institution
Authors: Bondarchuk Viktor
Published: November 2022

The specificity of cultural creation in the 21st century is considered in terms of certain unification, which is characterized by powerful trends towards globalization and alterglobalization, as well as the intensity and dynamism of communicative processes that affect the mutual enrichment and mutual borrowing of various cultural strategies and practices. The article highlights the problems of modern art education in Ukraine. There is an updated need for branding art universities as institutions that enable young people to obtain professional training in accordance with the requirements of current legislation and constantly fight for the right to be in the rating of potential and competitive subjects in the educational activity. The multi-vector nature of the artistic educational paradigm, thanks to which modern trajectories of the development of a competitive higher education brand are formed, are described in the article. The priority directions of the international activity of the P. I. Tchaikovsky National Music Academy of Ukraine are highlighted as those that ensure competitiveness. It was found that the lack of a clear understanding of the nature and structure of art education branding leads to the loss and devaluation of a significant number of principles in the process of purposeful development of the higher education brand.

FRAME AS A COGNITIVE MODEL OF IRONIC MEANING
Authors: Prystupa Vitaliy V.
Published: November 2022

The concept of irony seems erroneously easy for understanding on the level of ‘folk linguistics’. Nevertheless, the cognitive aspects of perception and comprehension pose the question of ironic blindness, that is when the interlocutors cannot decipher or retrieve the implied meaning. The problem of adequate comprehension of irony arises to its structural, linguistic and cognitive structures. If so-called direct or negative irony is more obvious for the interlocutors and thus is perceived almost unmistakably, the positive irony creates numerous problems for them. This study investigates the irony comprehension from the cognitive point of view. Based on the analyzed in the paper text fragments the author shows that in the lingo-cognitive approach to understanding irony, both linguistic and non-linguistic levels are reflected. It provides an analysis of linguistic factors in their connection with the organization of the conceptual system. The starting point for the formation of ironic discourse, particularly in English journalistic texts, is the polysegmental concept of IRONY, objectified by various language tools of different levels. The explication of ironic discourse in English-language journalism occurs through the ironic framing of the message, serving as a cognitive model of ironic meaning. The paper proposes the term ‘ironic frame’ as a designation of an integrated / ‘hybrid’ language-thinking structure that arises in the mind of a native speaker due to the interpenetration and interaction of several mental spaces, associated with a verbal expression of negative, disapproving, critical or skeptical attitude to the object of irony.
LEXICAL POLYSEMY IN DIACHRONY AND SYNCHRONY
Authors: Yurchenko Nataliia S.
Published: November 2022

The paper considers the peculiarities of the origin and functioning of lexical polysemy in different languages, in particular in Ukrainian, German and English. The author examines discourse of Ukrainian scholars in terms of the study of the polysemic words causes, the relationship between the meanings of polysemic words, the distinction between the phenomena of polysemy and homonymy, the linguistic functions of polysemic units. The opinion that the polysemy of words in different languages is not an accidental phenomenon was justified. It was emphasized that the presence of a limited amount of vocabulary, which is associated with the qualitative features of the physiological mechanism of the human brain (memory), leads to the emergence of ambiguous words. Each polysemic word has a relatively constant semantic core, independent of the context, which is a necessary basis for the functioning of polysemic units, and it ensures the semantic integrity of the word. Although the set of meanings of a polysemantic word in different languages differs, the phenomenon of polysemy is universal for all languages. It allows expanding the linguistic nominative potential and, given the cost-effectiveness of the language, to avoid increasing the number of lexical items. The need to determine the nature of the lexical meaning of a word at the level of language and speech, its frameworks, the concept of semantic structure of a polysemic word, the semantic core of the word, connections, relationships and functioning of different meanings was described. The major factors that influence semantic changes in a polysemic word and consist in various changes in the process of historical development of languages, in which words acquire new meanings, were characterized. It leads to the emergence of more semantic aspects, which are historically fixed in the minds of the people in connection with the relationship of words with certain phenomenon. The effectiveness of the phenomenon of polysemy as a means to increase the linguistic potential of language, due to the formatting of existing values and the emergence of new ones in the process of active development of the lexicon is substantiated.
MUSICAL DIMENSIONS OF QUALITY JUDGEMENTS IN LITURGICAL TRANSLATION
Authors: Shmiher Taras V.
Published: November 2022

The paper is dedicated to the issues of how translation quality assessment can deal with the musical aspects of liturgical praxis. It is not limited to the matters of melody and isosyllabism (which partially overlap with the theory of verse translation), but it has also to cover the issues of functionality, perception and reception (which are integrated in translation sociology and criticism). The study consists of three foci: singability and melody (isosyllabism and local chants, collective and individual creativity), historicism (hidden interpretations, functional censorship) and phonetic and semantic prosody (problems of subjectivist perception, churchly interventions, modulations of poetic texts for liturgical use). The problem of relay translation looks very unusual: although all liturgical texts came from the same language (Patristic Greek), vernacular believers receive their national texts which were translated via the mediating language (Latin or Church Slavonic, or even more languages). The main text of the analysis is the Paschal Troparion (in the Greek, Church Slavonic, Ukrainian, Polish, and English versions), but observations over other various liturgical texts are included. The juxtaposition of the Roman and Byzantine Rites shows how great the role of vocal music is in both rites and how attentively the ecclesiastical authorities cherished the sacred music for the propaganda of ecumenical moral dogmas.
