Psychological and physiological effects of visual stimulation with real plants and artificial natural structures: A study protocol for a randomised controlled trial
Authors: Bettinger Luca , Schweighart Roxana
Published: December 2022

The positive effects of the natural environment on human health are well studied. However, it is not always possible to use real natural environments or plants in healthcare settings. We would like to develop a low-cost, effective, and aesthetic alternative. For this purpose, we designed artificial natural structures based on fractal geometry. Within the framework of a randomised controlled trial, we would like to investigate their effect on different variables (stress, emotions, pulse, and blood pressure) in humans. An indoor plant will serve as a comparative condition. In addition, we will conduct a control condition without stimulus.

Background/Aim: As D-dimer levels have been reported to reflect cancer activity, preoperative D-dimer levels may serve as a prognostic marker in patients with colorectal cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic significance of preoperative D-dimer levels in patients with stage I-III colorectal cancer who underwent curative surgery. Patients and Methods: A total of 264 patients who underwent curative surgery for stage I-III colorectal cancer between January 2015 and December 2019 were enrolled in this study. Results: The median preoperative D-dimer level was 0.8 μg/ml (range=0.4-42.5 μg/ml). Based on the results of a receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, we set 1.45 as the cut-off value and classified patients into the low (n=215) and high D-dimer (n=49) groups. The high D-dimer group had significantly lower relapse-free and overall survival in comparison to the low D-dimer group (p<0.0001, p<0.0001, respectively). Conclusion: Preoperative D-dimer levels can serve as a prognostic marker for stage I-III colorectal cancer.

Authors: TAKEYAMA HIROSHI , MANOME YOSHINOBU
Published: December 2022

Background/Aim: Sialyl-fibronectin (S-FN), a type of glycoprotein like Sialyl Lewisa and MAC1 thyroid cancer biomarkers, has been found to be expressed in thyroid cancer. In this study, we examined the usefulness of serum S-FN as a biomarker, as well as prognostic factor in various tumors including thyroid cancer. Patients and Methods: Using the MoAb JT-95, an ELISA kit was created and S-FN levels in sera (blood S-FN) of a total of 182 cases were investigated. Analysis included 63 cases of thyroid cancer, 33 cases of thyroid benign tumors, 7 cases of parathyroid benign tumors, and 79 cases of breast cancer. Results: The incidence of blood S-FN-positive cases was 24 (38.0%) in 63 examined patients with thyroid cancer. Out of 40 examined benign neck tumor cases, 16/40 (40%) were S-FN-positive. Out of 79 examined breast cancer cases, 20/79 (25.3%) were S-FN-positive, with significant differences between thyroid and breast cancer cases (p=0.007). Regarding the association of blood S-FN expression and prognosis in thyroid cancer, there was a significant difference between 39 blood S-FN-negative cases and 15 recurrent or metastatic cases in terms of progression and pathological factors: tumor size, lymph node metastasis, extra-membrane infiltration, and clinical stage. All 63 assessed thyroid cancer cases also had a significant difference in these factors. There were no significant differences between these factors in the 24 blood S-FN-positive thyroid cancer cases. In cases of recurrent metastasis, intravascular cells were observed in all recurrent metastasis patients of both groups. Regarding staining of intravascular infiltrating cells, recurrent metastasis appeared at a higher rate in cases with S-FN-negative infiltrating cells. Conclusion: S-FN presence in blood can be used as an indicator of good prognosis in thyroid cancer patients.

Published: December 2022

Background/Aim: To identify predictors of adverse gastrointestinal (GI) events related to stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for liver tumors. Patients and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 56 patients who underwent SBRT for liver tumors at our institution between 2016 and 2021. The α/β ratio of the GI tract (stomach, duodenum, and large intestine) was assumed to be 3 Gy in the Linear-Quadratic model (LQ model). The dose to the GI tract, that is, the biologically effective dose 3 (BED3) was converted to a 2 Gy equivalent dose (Gy2/3=2 Gy equivalent dose, α/β=3). Using this 2 Gy equivalent dose, predictors of adverse GI events of Grade 2 or higher were investigated. Results: The median observation period was 10 months (0-40 months) and median age was 77 years (range=29-93 years). Forty-three of the 56 patients had hepatocellular carcinoma and the other 13 had metastatic liver tumors. Tumors were irradiated with 30-54 Gy/5-18 fractions of planning target volume D95% prescription (80% isodose). Eight of the 56 patients had Grade 2 or higher adverse GI events. By univariate analysis, GI D1cc, Dmax, V20, V25, V30, and V35 were all significant predictors of Grade 2 or higher adverse GI events. Among these, gastrointestinal V35 was the most significant predictor of Grade 2 or higher adverse GI events. Conclusion: For SBRT of liver tumors, GI V35 was the best predictor of Grade 2 or higher adverse GI events.

Published: December 2022

Background/Aim: Gemcitabine-induced thrombotic microangiopathy (G-TMA) is associated with a high mortality rate. However, owing to its low incidence, data on G-TMA remain limited. Therefore, a detailed review of G-TMA cases is critical to understand this adverse event. In addition, reviewing literature and pharmacovigilance analytics may be useful to characterise G-TMA. Here, time to onset of G-TMA was analysed based on available data. Patients and Methods: We collected data for a case of TMA following gemcitabine administration at the Tokyo Metropolitan Geriatric Hospital. We also reviewed the literature on G-TMA cases in Japan from April 2000 to March 2022 to provide a case series. Moreover, we performed time-to-onset analysis of G-TMA using the data from the Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report (JADER) database. Results: Our case involved a patient with pancreatic cancer who developed thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura 13 months after starting gemcitabine treatment. From the literature reviewed, in 14 out of 17 cases, G-TMA occurred 5-8 months after treatment initiation. The analysis of data from the JADER database showed that the median time to onset of G-TMA was 161 days. Weibull shape parameter analysis showed that the pattern of onset of G-TMA represented a random failure. Conclusion: This study elucidated the time to onset of G-TMA in a Japanese population. Weibull shape parameter analysis showed that G-TMA may not necessarily develop in a dose-dependent manner. These results may be useful for monitoring G-TMA in the clinical setting.

Published: December 2022

Background/Aim: Pancreatic head adenocarcinoma represents the most aggressive digestive malignancy, which affects patients worldwide and is associated with poor outcomes especially due to the fact that most cases are diagnosed when local vascular invasion is already present. Case Report: This is a case report of a 44-year-old patient diagnosed with a borderline resectable pancreatic head adenocarcinoma invading the superior mesenteric artery. The patient was submitted to surgery, and intraoperatively the mesenteric artery invasion was found. A pancreatoduodenectomy en bloc with superior mesenteric artery resection was performed while the continuity of the arterial structure was re-established by placing a cadaveric graft. Conclusion: In selected cases, extended arterial resections might be needed in order to achieve negative resection margins and therefore, to improve the chances of long-term survival.

Published: December 2022

With the developments in computer hardware technology, studies in the fields of computer vision and artificial intelligence has accelerated. However, the number of areas where autonomous systems are used has also increased. Among these areas are unmanned aerial vehicles, which are one of the most important parameters of today's military technology. In this study, which includes two different scenarios, we aimed to improve the vision capabilities of unmanned aerial vehicles based on artificial intelligence. Within the scope of Scenario-1, the U-Net model suitable for binary semantic segmentation method was trained with the help of images taken by unmanned aerial vehicle camera. Within the scope of Scenario-2, which is designed for moving or stationary vehicle detection, the U-Net model is trained in accordance with multi-class semantic segmentation method. In all these training processes, a publicly available dataset was used. The model trained for Scenario-1 reached mean Intersection over Union (mIoU) value of 84.3%, while the model trained for Scenario-2 reached 79.7% mIoU. In this study, approaches were shared about the use of high-resolution images in model training and testing stages. Applying such studies in the field can help improve precision and reliability in arms industry.

Artificial Intelligence in Medicine: Text Mining of Health Care Workers’ Opinions
Authors: Nitiéma Pascal
Published: December 2022

Background

Artificial intelligence (AI) is being increasingly adopted in the health care industry for administrative tasks, patient care operations, and medical research.

Objective

We aimed to examine health care workers’ opinions about the adoption and implementation of AI-powered technology in the health care industry.

Methods

Data were comments about AI posted on a web-based forum by 905 health care professionals from at least 77 countries, from May 2013 to October 2021. Structural topic modeling was used to identify the topics of discussion, and hierarchical clustering was performed to determine how these topics cluster into different groups.

Results

Overall, 12 topics were identified from the collected comments. These comments clustered into 2 groups: impact of AI on health care system and practice and AI as a tool for disease screening, diagnosis, and treatment. Topics associated with negative sentiments included concerns about AI replacing human workers, impact of AI on traditional medical diagnostic procedures (ie, patient history and physical examination), accuracy of the algorithm, and entry of IT companies into the health care industry. Concerns about the legal liability for using AI in treating patients were also discussed. Positive topics about AI included the opportunity offered by the technology for improving the accuracy of image-based diagnosis and for enhancing personalized medicine.

Conclusions

The adoption and implementation of AI applications in the health care industry are eliciting both enthusiasm and concerns about patient care quality and the future of health care professions. The successful implementation of AI-powered technologies requires the involvement of all stakeholders, including patients, health care organization workers, health insurance companies, and government regulatory agencies.
Real-World Adherence and Effectiveness of Remote Patient Monitoring Among Medicaid Patients With Diabetes: Retrospective Cohort Study (Preprint)
Authors: Park Sulki , Kum Hye-Chung , Zheng Qi , Lawley Mark A
Published: December 2022

BACKGROUND

The prevalence of diabetes in the United States is high and increasing, and it is also the most expensive chronic condition in the United States. Self-monitoring of blood glucose or continuous glucose monitoring are potential solutions, but there are barriers to their use. Remote patient monitoring (RPM) with appropriate support has the potential to provide solutions.

OBJECTIVE

We aim to investigate the adherence of Medicaid patients with diabetes to daily RPM protocols, the relationship between adherence and changes in blood glucose levels, and the impact of daily testing time on blood glucose changes.

METHODS

This retrospective cohort study analyzed real-world data from an RPM company that provides services to Texas Medicaid patients with diabetes. Overall, 180 days of blood glucose data from an RPM company were collected to assess transmission rates and blood glucose changes, after the first 30 days of data were excluded due to startup effects. Patients were separated into adherent and nonadherent cohorts, where adherent patients transmitted data on at least 120 of the 150 days. z tests and t tests were performed to compare transmission rates and blood glucose changes between 2 cohorts. In addition, we analyzed blood glucose changes based on their testing time—between 1 AM and 10 AM, 10 AM and 6 PM, and 6 PM and 1 AM.

RESULTS

Mean patient age was 70.5 (SD 11.8) years, with 66.8% (n=255) of them being female, 91.9% (n=351) urban, and 89% (n=340) from south Texas (n=382). The adherent cohort (n=186, 48.7%) had a mean transmission rate of 82.8% before the adherence call and 91.1% after. The nonadherent cohort (n=196, 51.3%) had a mean transmission rate of 45.9% before and 60.2% after. The mean blood glucose levels of the adherent cohort decreased by an average of 9 mg/dL (P=.002) over 5 months. We also found that variability of blood glucose level of the adherent cohort improved 3 mg/dL (P=.03) over the 5-month period. Both cohorts had the majority of their transmissions between 1 AM and 10 AM, with 70.5% and 53.2% for the adherent and nonadherent cohorts, respectively. The adherent cohort had decreasing mean blood glucose levels over 5 months, with the largest decrease during the 6 PM to 1 AM time period (30.9 mg/dL). Variability of blood glucose improved only for those tested from 10 AM to 6 PM, with improvements of 6.9 mg/dL (P=.02). Those in the nonadherent cohort did not report significant changes.

CONCLUSIONS

RPM can help manage diabetes in Medicaid clients by improving adherence rates and glycemic control. Adherence calls helped improve adherence rates, but some patients still faced challenges in transmitting blood glucose levels. Nonetheless, RPM has the potential to reduce the risk of adverse outcomes associated with diabetes.

Published: December 2022

Copper pollution in Cisadane is a serious environmental issue that needs to be resolved immediately due to its negative impacts on river ecosystems. Bioremediation utilising indigenous bacteria offers excellent potential to restore copper‐contaminated river water. This study aimed to obtain indigenous copper‐resistant bacteria isolated from the Cisadane River as copper bioremediation agents. Bacteria from Cisadane River water samples were isolated by the spread plate method on Luria Bertani medium containing 3 mM CuSO4. Resistance was determined based on the minimum inhibitory concentration value, while copper concentration was measured using an atomic absorption spec‐ trophotometer. The results presented a total of 13 bacterial isolates with a minimum inhibitory concentration of up to 8 mM CuSO4. Sequence alignment analysis was performed on three selected copper‐resistant bacteria, i.e. isolate IrCis1, IrCis4 and IrCis13, which were identified as Pantoea agglomerans, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Shigella flexneri based on 16S rRNA, respectively. Each isolate accumulated copper at 1.19 mg, 1.34 mg and 0.92 mg/g DW of cells, with copper biosorption potentials of 73.74%, 70.17% and 67.73%, respectively. In conclusion, P. agglomerans strain IrCis1, K. pneu‐ moniae strain IrCis4 and S. flexneri strain IrCis5 isolated from the Cisadane River can be used as copper bioremediation agents.

Published: December 2022

The increasing world population, rapid industrialization, urbanization, and economic growth have led to a continuous increase in the consumption of fossil fuels to meet the ever-increasing demand for energy. Continuous emissions from burning fossil fuels will create a need to find appropriate and sustainable substitutes for fossil fuels. Biodiesel is the right alternative solution for diesel engines because it is renewable, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly. Waste cooking oil (WCO) from the food, non-food, restaurant, and household sectors is produced on a large scale in every country and can contribute to environmental pollution if proper disposal systems are not applied. Instead of throwing it landfills Environmental pollution can be minimized by recycling WCO. This study evaluates the potential of using WCO to produce biodiesel using zeolite synthesized from fly ash as a heterogeneous alkali catalyst through a transesterification reaction. The reactor in this study used a 1,000 ml three-necked boiling flask equipped with a condenser, cooling tank, and pump. Stirring and heating during the process of biodiesel production using a magnetic stirrer and a hot plate. The thermometer is used to measure the reaction temperature. Optimization of biodiesel production from zeolite catalyst synthesized from fly ash based on variations in the ratio of methanol: oil (8:1; 10:1; 12:1; and 14:1), catalyst weight (1, 2, 3, and 4% weight), and temperature (45 oC, 55 oC, and 65oC). Zeolite from fly ash produces biodiesel with a yield of 91.67% with optimum operating conditions reaction time of 60 minutes, methanol oil ratio of 8:1, operating temperature 55oC, and the amount of catalyst 1% by weight. This experiment confirms the possibility of utilizing fly ash waste for the application of catalysts in biodiesel production.

Published: December 2022

This study observes social movement in digitalized world along with its role in public policy process. It is especially on how the social movement has access as well as spread and was formed the knowledge in the digitalized world. This study is essential to be further explored in order to enrich the theories of governance and public policies in the digital era. The case to be studied here is anti-vaccine movement in Facebook which has developed in the digitalized world in the context of socio-politics of the Indonesian people in 2018-2019 and using a Content Analysis as method. This study result is that the Anti-vaccine Movement in Indonesia rejected the vaccine program by attacking knowledge hegemony created by medical institutions and government. It has formed a new knowledge by issuing a counter discourse toward the medical discourse. The argument centered on moral anger and structural repression by government agencies, worldwide institutions, pharmacy industries and media and shows the strong logic based on the religious believe idea. This fact shows that the social media plays a role in spreading the ideas of anti-vaccine and gives a way for the movement to develop and to have a strong network which is dynamic and can survive for a long period of time. By mobilizing knowledge through a social movement in the digitalized world, the anti-vaccine movement in Indonesia has a wider network and has a potential to influence the successful of the government program.

Grounding Theory in Digital Data: A Methodological Approach for a Reflective Procedural Framework
Authors: Bischof Andreas , Freybe Konstantin
Published: December 2022

Instead of looking for new paradigms for Digital Humanities (DH), we present Grounded Theory Methodology (GTM) as a methodological approach to frame digital research practices more reflectively. By turning to the epistemological and practical implications of digital tools like Topic Modeling and digital data sources like YouTube comments, we highlight the theoretical assumptions that are already in the game—and call for more explicitness and methodical monitoring. To explain the procedures of GTM and the proposed worth for DH, we present an example of a qualitative research project using machine learning techniques to narrow down a large scale of data to human interpretable resample. The methodically monitored resampling process provided valuable means to validly minimize the amount of data without losing a qualitative trajectory of the process itself. Defining and tracing relevant content in our original data set enabled us to find related comments and textual conversations to be analyzed further. We discuss the example iteration in two ways: Our prototype and procedure show on the one hand, how qualitative research and computational methods can be better intertwined without compromising their epistemological foundations. On the other hand, we argue for an understanding of DH as research practice, that should follow an abductive research agenda in order to ground its theories in data.

An Outlook on the Status of Security Performance in The Light of Intelligence
Authors: Gottam Monisha
Published: December 2022

Abstract: An outlook on the status of security performance in light of intelligence focuses on the business aspects and needs of organizations. The security plan needs to be integrated with the business and should be developed in collaboration with different groups within an organization. Organizations need to have a culture that embraces security and intelligence. Security performance is one of the top concerns of modern businesses. Companies must look at the underlying causes of their problems in order to fix them. A good cybersecurity posture is often measured by a lack of data breaches. Lack of specific metrics, however, may be an indication that a company does not have a strategic mindset. Attacks and malfunctions are extremely costly. Detection involves identifying suspicious behaviors and alerting the appropriate personnel. An important challenge in detecting suspicious activity is finding the right balance between false alarms and coverage. An effective security program must be able to mitigate attacks while reducing false alarms. The growing reliance on artificial intelligence (AI) is creating a new kind of cybervulnerability. Developers often overlook AI security, leaving it open to attack by adversaries. Attacks can take the form of basic manipulations and probes or adversarial AI. As the number of computer systems increases, so do the risks they pose to the security of data and systems. This article examines the importance of security performance, the role of the cloud, machine learning-based security models, and incident response. We also look at the importance of a security model that incorporates intelligence. Finally, this report also identifies five critical areas in which Intelligence attacks pose a high risk to organizations.

Published: December 2022

Introduction: Social stigmas in people living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) have been part of their history and can still be identified in today's care environments. Objective: To analyze the social stigmas in relation to the care of people living with HIV by those who provide the anti Sars-CoV-2   vaccination service. Materials and methods: A descriptive quantitative research were developed that included a census sample of 126 people. The scale of social stigma in the care of people with HIV/AIDS (Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) was applied. The information was analyzed through SPSS version 25. Results: Most of the participants reported not knowing people with HIV, but they have been treated as users (54%) and considered that they are discriminated (88.1%). Although a low level of stigma was evidenced (71.4%), these are present in 85.7%. Having had contact as a user with people with HIV was associated with the level of stigma (p=0.008). Conclusions: It is necessary to promote training in which the complexity of the phenomenon is addressed and aspects such as social stigmas are identified, incorporating the biopsychosocial paradigm together with a gender perspective in favor of the comprehensive provision of care.

Published: December 2022

Introducing superior plants is one of the efforts to increase coffee produc- tivity in Indonesia. Three clones from France de Torino (FRT), FRT 07, FRT 09, and FRT 65, have been introduced to Indonesia. However, their cultivation is not widely distributed yet. Analysis of the responses of FRT clones against differences in climate and cultivation is needed to determine the right cultivation system to produce maximum growth and productivity. This study examines the vegetative growth of FRT clones introduced at some levels of shade. The study employed a split-plot design with 36 experimental units. The primary factor was the levels of shade consisting: without shade, 25% of shade, 50% of shade, and 100% of shade. The three introduced FRT clones (FRT 07, FRT 09, and FRT 65) were used as the subplot. Observations were done on several growth variables. The results showed that shade treatment affected all growth parameters and plant architecture. Clones significiantly affected plant height, orthotropic internode length, number of leaves, and average leaf area. Increased levels of shade caused an increase in internode length, branch angle, and crown diameter but decrease in number of internodes and leaves. A low level of shade (25%) produced an optimal value on parameters related to the productivity of FRT coffee plants, such as the number of plagiotropic internodes and the number of leaves. Parameters related to vegetative growth, such as plant height, stem diameter, and internode length, showed optimal values in a moderate level of shade (50%). Treatment without shade and a heavy shade resulted in impaired growth of FRT coffee. There was no interaction between levels of shade and clone treatment on most of the variables related to plant morphology, which indicated that the three introduced FRT clones gave relatively similar response to shade; thus, the three clones can be managed with the same shade management.

Helopeltis sp. is one of the major pests of the cocoa plant. Helopeltis can decrease cocoa yield by 50 to 60%. Several species of Helopeltis spp. are still often misidentified due to similarity in morphology such as size and color. This study aimed to identify Helopeltis sp. through DNA barcoding using the mitochondrial cyto- chrome C oxidase subunit 1 (COI) gene. Analysis was carried out on 100 adults Helopeltis sp. from Kaliwining Experimental Station, Indonesian Coffee and Cocoa Research Institute (ICCRI), Jember, Indonesia. Specimens were preserved in 96% ethyl alcohol at 4oC until molecular studies were carried out. PCR amplification was conducted through specific primer from COI gene. Sequences data analysis using MEGA 5.05 software was carried out. The study results using DNA barcoding showed that Helopeltis samples in Kaliwining cocoa plantations are Helopeltis bradyi with a percentage identity above 99% and E value of 0; this sequence as significantly matched. Mean length of the sequences was 679.5 base pairs. Phy- logenetic tree data also shows that the Helopeltis species analysed were also of the same descent, H. bradyi with the accession number KT189562.1. Helopeltis sp. specimens were clustered together. No taxonomic deviation was detected at the species level, indicating that most of the examined species of Helopeltis sp. could be authenticated by the barcode approach using the COI gene. In addi- tion, Helopeltis specimens were also aligned with H. antonii and H. theivora from the genebank to determine their genetic relationship.
Информационное моделирование зданий и классификация архитектурных элементов для объектов культурного наследия

Published: December 2022

Создание и развитие правил и классификаций для информационных моделей определяют процесс создания моделей для диагностики строительных объектов. В статье описан опыт построения информационных моделей истори­ческих зданий с применением классификаторов строительной информации. Сформулированы задачи, которые могут быть применимы к информационным моделям архитектурного на­следия. Отмечено, что множество элементов, которые исполь­зуются при моделировании исторических зданий, не имеют общепринятого кодирования. Стандартизация параметров, классификаторов, и библиотек элементов - путь информати­зации и оптимизации процесса построения модели. Создание каталогов элементов и общепринятых классификаций может ускорить процессы оптимизации информационного модели­рования существующих зданий.
Рассмотрение особенностей гравитонного притяжения тел нешаровидной формы с позиций гравитонной модели и влияние потоков гравитонов на формирование планет шаровидной формы
Authors: Карпенко Николай , Карпенко Сергей
Published: December 2022

Силы гравитационного притяжения тел, которые являются причиной столь разнообразных на первый взгляд явле­ний, в том числе и в строительной отрасли, определяются на осно­вании закона тяготения И. Ньютона. Однако физическая природа формирования этих сил и их дальнодействия остаётся проблема­тичной и требует изучения. В статье представлена разработанная авторами гравитонная модель, в которой указанная проблема решается на основании концепции формирования и реактивного выброса потоков гравитонов из массы тела с последующим их рас­сеиванием и действием рассеянных потоков на встречные тела.

Рассмотрено развитие гравитонной модели на массы тел (условно тела), движущиеся с большими скоростями. Уста­новлено, что скорости усиливают выброс потоков гравитонов из массы, приводя к эффекту утяжеления тела без изменения его начальной массы. Этот эффект утяжеления совпадает с эффектом Лоренца, который непосредственно связывается с увеличением массы.

Исследование указанных вопросов, как, собственно, и накопленные исследования закона притяжения И. Ньютона, производилось в основном на телах шаровидной формы.

В данной статье рассмотрено притяжение тел нешаровид­ной формы с позиции гравитонной модели. Анализируются два варианта модели, которые различаются характером рас­положения вокруг центра тяжести тел входящих в них гра­витонов, с последующим их выбросом потоками из этих тел.
Аура обитаемого пространства
Authors: Ткачёв Валентин
Published: December 2022

В стартовом понимании термин «аура» при­нимается для обозначения ореола, нимба вокруг объекта исследования, причём как в ортодоксальном смысле (эффект Кирлиана, радиоактивное свечение), так и в метафорическом. Термин стал востребован в анализах психофизических и нейрофизиологических процессов деятельности мозга при изучении синестезии - ассоциативной связи между мысле- формами, порождающими фантом психических явлений с уди­вительными, парадоксальными, эстетическими качествами.

Понятие «аура» стало счастливой находкой и терминоло­гической базой для нейропсихологов, изучающих орбиты и импульсы творческого мышления, ассоциативные цепи кре­ативных операций, эмоциональные эффекты, возникающие при инсайте (озарении) как электрошок выхода из тупикового состояния профессионального мышления художника, компо­зитора, архитектора, инженера.

И, несмотря на почти сакральные истоки появления, аура вполне плодотворна в ортодоксальной методологии реального созидания. Её креативной роли в архитектурном формообразовании посвящена эта статья.
Планировочная структура Сочи-Мацестинского курорта периода довоенной реконструкции - выдающийся памятник советского градостроительства (к предмету охраны исторического поселения)
Authors: Бондарь Виталий , Рысин Юрий
Published: December 2022

В статье рассмотрены предпосылки, содержание процесса и градостроительное значение создания простран­ственно-планировочной структуры района Сочи-Мацеста в ходе довоенной реконструкции всесоюзного курорта: строительство автомагистрали (Сталинского, ныне Курортного, проспекта), спрямившей участок Новороссийско-Сухумского шоссе между историческим ядром города и Мацестой и определившей в зна­чительной степени масштаб и характер застройки территорий по его нагорной и приморской сторонам; устройство живописной пешеходной тропы-аллеи, проходящей по склону вдоль морского берега между полосой пляжей и автомагистралью; строительство шоссе Новая - Старая Мацеста и дороги Агура - Ахун. Показа­но, что в основу пространственной организации курорта был положен принцип гармоничного сочетания функционального зонирования территории с максимальной адаптацией его пла­нировочной структуры к естественным условиям местности. Обоснован тезис о высокой методологической ценности проекта и непреходящем практическом и историко-культурном значении созданной планировочной структуры, определившей на несколь­ко десятилетий вектор градостроительного развития курорта.
Makna dan Perilaku Jihad GP Ansor Tegalwangi: Analisis Sosiologi Pengetahuan
Authors: Putra Imam Muhajir Dwi
Published: December 2022

This article aims to reveal the meaning of jihad from the view of GP Ansor Tegalwangi and its relation to knowledge and social construction. This article uses a qualitative approach, in which the researcher presents data in a descriptive-analytical form. This study concludes that there are three meanings of jihad from the perspective of GP Ansor Tegalwangi. First, the objective meaning is cultural-institutional jihad resulting from the process of appreciating the verses of the Qur’an by individuals, which then becomes collective knowledge. Second, the expressive meaning can be seen from the individual's perception of the experience of jihad in the organizational sphere. Third, the meaning of the documentary is in the form of an action performed that then became a tradition as a whole. Thus, jihad is not only oriented towards status quo political goals, but jihad is also a concept that leads individuals to a priori knowledge; the meaning of the concept of jihad strongly influences the externalization of jihad. The meaning and implementation of jihad also cannot be separated from the context of society, including its sociological and humanitarian aspects.AbstrakArtikel ini bertujuan mengungkap makna jihad dari pandangan GP Ansor Tegalwangi dan kaitannya dengan pengetahuan dan konstruksi sosial. Artikel ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, di mana peneliti menyajikan data dalam bentuk deskriptif-analitik. Kajian ini menyimpulkan bahwa ada tiga makna jihad dari sudut pandang GP Ansor Tegalwangi. Pertama, makna objektif adalah jihad kultural-institusional yang dihasilkan dari proses penghayatan ayat-ayat Al-Qur'an oleh individu, yang kemudian menjadi pengetahuan kolektif. Kedua, makna ekspresif dapat dilihat dari persepsi individu terhadap pengalaman jihad dalam lingkup organisasi. Ketiga, makna dokumenter berupa aksi yang dilakukan yang kemudian menjadi tradisi secara keseluruhan. Dengan demikian, jihad tidak hanya berorientasi pada tujuan politik status quo, tetapi jihad juga merupakan konsep yang membawa individu pada pengetahuan apriori; pemaknaan konsep jihad sangat mempengaruhi eksternalisasi jihad. Makna dan implementasi jihad juga tidak lepas dari konteks masyarakat, termasuk aspek sosiologis dan kemanusiaan.
Tatars of the Jochid Ulus: the formation and development of an ethnopolitical identity in the 13th–15th centuries
Authors:   Marjani Institute of History of the Tatarstan Academy of Sciences, Izmailov Iskander L.
Published: December 2022

Research objectives: To analyze the processes behind the formation and development of the Tatar ethnopolitical community in the Ulus of Jochi in the XIII–XV centuries. Research materials: The author of the article examines a variety of sources that reflect the progressive development of the Tatar ethnopolitical community in the Ulus of Jochi during the XIII–XV centuries. Results and novelty of the research: The Tatars of the Jochid Ulus during the XIII–XV centuries were usually studied from a socio-political point of view, with little attention being paid to the study of mental structures. Nevertheless, the formation of the ethnopolitical community of the Tatars – something which determines the mental universe of the population of the Ulus of Jochi – deserves and receives here more intensive study. The Mongol invasion brought not only destruction to the countries of Eurasia, but also led to the formation of a new Mongol Empire, and at the end of the XIII century, the successor Chingisid states. In all these khanates, there was a process of formation of their statehood and ethnopolitical consolidation. In the Ulus of Jochi, this process was associated with the formation of the Tatar ethnopolitical community. It turns out that during the conquests of Chingis Khan and his heirs in different countries of Eurasia from the Near and Middle East to Central Asia and Eastern Europe, Tatars were present among the troops of the Khans, playing the role of a military aristocracy. Due to these objective and other subjective reasons, the Tatar identity became the leading one in the Jochid Ulus, manifesting itself in the ideas that the Jochid Ulus was a country of the Tatars, the term itself becoming synonymous with the military service aristocracy. Tatars were also understood as Turkic nomadic people with their own clan structure.
