Kedzydshor Formation and conodonts of the Lower Frasnian on the Izyayu River (South of the Tchernyshev Uplift)
Authors: Soboleva M. A. , Zhuravlev A. V.
Published: April 2023

Research subject. Conodonts of the Lower Frasnian Kedzydshor Formation of the southern part of the Tchernyshev Uplift.

   Materials and methods. Materials obtained during a study of the section of the Kedzydshor Formation located on the Izyayu River were used. The biostratigraphic subdivision of the section was based on taxonomic definitions of conodonts and correlations with the Standard and Frasnian conodont zones.

   Results. In comparison with the stratotype of the Kedzydshor Formation, carbonate-argillaceous deposits cropping out on the Izyayu River are represented by fragments of the middle and upper parts of the Kedzydshor Formation in the stratigraphic range of the Lower falsiovalis Zone of the standard conodont zonation of the Lower Frasnian. The predominantly carbonate interval of the section is conventionally correlated with the FZ1 conodont zone, while the overlying terrigenous interval – with FZ2. The polygnatid and polygnatid-ancyrodellid conodont biofacies dominate in the section under study.

   Conclusions. New data on the distribution of cono donts across the Kedzydshor Formation in the Izyayu River section were obtained. The obtained data were compared with the local stratigraphic units of the Timan-North Urals Region. The Kedzydshor Formation is one of the most complete sequences of the Middle-Upper Devonian transition, thus representing the basis for searching and substantiating the position of the debatable lower boundary of the Frasnian Stage of the Upper Devonian.
Almandine jewelry garnet from the Kitelya deposit (Karelia): composition and spectroscopic properties
Authors: Lyutoev V. P. , Makeyev A. B. , Terekhov E. N.
Published: April 2023

Research subject. The chemical composition and spectroscopic properties of almandine jewelry garnets from the Kite-lya deposit in the Northern Ladoga region (Karelia).

   Materials and methods. The chemical composition, impurity elements, mineral inclusions and spectroscopic properties of almandine jewelry crystals were studied using IR and Mössbauer spectroscopy.

   Results. Garnet crystals were found to exhibit a weakly pronounced zonal composition, varying from Alm75Pir15Sps7Grs3 in the center to Alm80Pir14Sps4Grs2 at their edges. Therefore, the Ca and Mn contents decrease towards the grain edges. This zonality of garnets is characteristic of the processes of progressive metamorphism of their host rocks. The garnet crystals feature small inclusions of quartz, chlorite, mica FACI (biotite), ilmenite, rutile, monazite, zircon and pyrrhotite. The composition of chlorite, biotite and zircon was established. The parameter of the cube unit cell ao = 11.522 ± 0.003 Å was calculated. The IR absorption spectra of 995, 966, 901, 878, 638, 568, 528, 476 and 455 cm–1 are characteristic of the pyrope-almandine difference. Mössbauer spectroscopy revealed an insignificant admixture of trivalent iron (Fe3+) in the structure of Kitelya garnets (≈1 % of the amount of isomorphic iron). The obtained optical absorption spectra of garnet plates in the visible light spectrum indicate that Fe2+ ions in dodecahedral positions, to a lesser extent dodecahedral Mn2+ ions, as well as possibly octahedral Fe3+ ions are responsible for the bright red-crimson color of pyrop-almandine from the Kitelya deposit.

   Conclusions. A “portrait” of typomorphic features (composition and properties) of the pyrope-almandine jewelry garnet from the Kitelya deposit was obtained. This portrait can be used when analyzing the historical finds of faceted or cabochonized differences of almandine in jewelry, church utensils in both Russia and Europe (where this jewelry material was exported during the 17th century). The preservation of garnet jewelry differences in the host rock is due to the presence of thin amorphous kelefite shells or soft minerals (sericite, chlorite, kaolinite etc.).
Composition and formation conditions of nephrite, Nyrdvomenshor deposit, Polar Urals
Authors: Kislov E. V. , Popov M. P. , Nurmukhametov F. M. , Posokhov V. F. , Vanteev V. V.
Published: April 2023

Research subject. Nephrite and related rocks from the Nyrdvomenshor deposit in the Polar Urals were studied. The Nyrdvomenshor deposit is located in the exocontact of the Rai-Iz ultramafic massif, confined to the Main Ural Fault. The deposit was developed in the process of geological exploration; a license has been issued for a part of the deposit.

   Aim. To study the nephrite and related rocks from alluvial of the deposit, to formulate a model of its origin.

   Methods. Qualitative characteristics were assessed visually using a binocular microscope and a special flashlight. The chemical composition was determined by the X-ray fluorescence method. The contents of trace elements were determined by ICP-MS analysis. The mineral composition was studied on a scanning electron microscope with an energy dispersive microanalysis system. Measurements of the isotopic composition of oxygen were carried out.

   Results. In addition to vesuvianite rodingite, hydrogarnet rodingite was found to be common at the deposit. The studied nephrite is substandard. Tremolite predominates in nephrite, diopside forms relic grains. Uvarovite is widespread, forming both idiomorphic grains, sometimes sheath, less often elongated xenomorphic, and replacing chromite. Omphacite overgrows grains of chromite and uvarovite. Grains of the Fe-dominant mineral of the shuiskite group are noted.

   Conclusions. Nephrite was formed through both metamorphic and metasomatic processes. Serpentinite was replaced by diopside, which was then replaced by nephrite. Metamorphism enhanced the metasomatism of the serpentinite melange and provided the cryptocrystalline tangled fibrous structure of the nephrite. Then metamorphism and metasomatism led to the formation of omphacite and cracking of the nephrite, which reduced its quality. As these processes progressed, the contribution of the crustal fluid increased, which is confirmed by the results of studying the oxygen isotopic composition of nephrite and other rocks of the deposit.
The evolution of the criteria for identifying the new concept of `Neonatal Near Miss`: a systematic review
Authors: Chafik Kawtar , Barich Fatima , Aslaou Fatima , Laamiri Fatima Zahra , Barkat Amina
Published: April 2023

Background. The concept of Near Miss, has been used in the field of obstetrics as a tool for assessing and improving the quality of care. However, there is no standardized definition or international criteria for identifying neonatal near misses. The current review aims to investigate the development of the neonatal near miss concept based on the results of studies conducted so far on neonatal near misses and their identification criteria.
Results. Sixty-two articles were retrieved by the electronic search, and after examination of different abstracts and reading of full texts, 17 articles were considered eligible meeting our inclusion criteria. All selected articles varied in terms of concept definition and criteria used. Neonatal Near Miss was defined as any newborn with pragmatic and/or management criteria who survived the first 27 days of life. All studies reviewed showed a Neonatal Near Miss rate that was 2.6 to 10 times higher than the neonatal mortality rate.
Conclusions. Neonatal Near Miss is a new concept that is currently being debated. There is a need for universal consensus on the definition and its identification criteria. Further efforts are needed to standardize the definition of this concept, including the development of criteria that can be assessed in a neonatal care setting. This is to improve the quality of neonatal care in every setting, regardless of the local level.
Towards a Plural Aesthetic in the Maghreb
Authors: ben Mustapha Hachana Mounira
Published: April 2023

The study and interpretation of the art of the modern and contemporary Maghreb is a developing field, in terms of artistic production, exhibition, marketing, and theoretical discourse. In recent years, artists of North Africa and the Middle East have achieved great visibility on the international scene, even as they suffer from many lacks, including the structures of art production, and critical discourses, and theoretical approaches. The principal aim of this paper is to avoid the radar screen of the western world and to think about the specificity of this region, such as a possible world of contemporary art.  We can consider these artists and artworks beyond the cliché image repertoires of terrorism and tourism, Orientalism and clandestine migration that dominate most representations of the Maghreb. We want to explore visual art, and its dynamic, not by describing movements or putting together a chronology, but by guiding many reflections about the relation between theory and practice in this specific geographic area. This paper will address key points of the problems of terminology: the problematic use of such terms as Modern Islamic Art and the frequent application of the terms Modern and Contemporary without sufficient acknowledgment of their contextual connotation. It will examine the recent developments in art practice in the Maghreb and its diaspora and their wider context, analyzing the impact of globalization and other transnational cultural and social links.

Language as a Liberation Aesthetic: Ngũgĩ’s Use of Gĩkũyũ in Mũrogi wa Kagogo [Wizard of the Crow] and Other Works
Authors: Mũtonya Maina wa
Published: April 2023

This paper examined the aesthetics and politics of writing African literature in local vernaculars as opposed to writing in what proponents of this discourse have termed as colonial languages, like English and French, amongst others. The focus of this article is on the writings of Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o, the most vocal critic of ‘imperial languages’, and also an ardent advocate for African languages as well as a practitioner of his vernacular language, where most of his published fictional works are in his native Gĩkũyũ language of Kenya. This paper then critically examines Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o’s application of the Gĩkũyũ language in his novel Mũrogi wa Kagogo (2006), translated as Wizard of the Crow, and his other works in the language. This paper inevitably engages with the writer’s stance on the use of vernaculars in increasingly globalizing cultures.

Words, Images, Gestures: A Dialogue between João Silvério Trevisan’s Documentary Contestação (1969) and Walter Benjamin’s Theses On the Concept of History
Authors: Tanus Gustavo , De Alencar Pires Antonia Cristina , Schettin Filipe
Published: April 2023

Cinema builds a diversity of important narratives to discuss culture and language. Many of them deal with authoritarian states and their antithesis, rebellion, resistance. This study analyzes the film narrative Contestação (1969), by João Silvério Trevisan, an experimental documentary on the protagonism of students against the authoritarianism and violence of dictatorships, from which we will analyze the narrative itself, as well as its composition made from the reuse of media material, film archives and journalism, and music as an element of the filmic montage; it analyzes this intermedia process between word and image. This analysis will be based on Walter Benjamin’s Theses on the Concept of History, in order to observe how the film formulates temporalities, the perception of events, and the construction of history. For the analysis of the composition of the film, concepts from theorists such as Eisenstein, Bakhtin, Kristeva, and Intermediality theorists, among others, were used.

What Makes 21st Century Central and East European Photobooks so Different, so Appealing?
Authors: Mazur Adam
Published: April 2023

If we reflect on the “photobook phenomenon” that has been developing for a quarter of a century, it will lead us to the verification of the research on the subject in Central and Eastern Europe. The following text was directly triggered by the exhibition and catalog: Photobloc: Central Europe in Photobooks opened at the International Cultural Center in Krakow in 2019. The subject of the project was the 20th-century history of Central Europe told in photobooks. However, it seems that in the 21st century, Central and Eastern European photobooks attract the attention of researchers and collectors from all over the world, and subsequent nominations and awards confirm their high-quality artistic production. The shift of attention to the present day forces the verification of cognitive categories that are useful for cataloging and evaluating 20th-century books. The text is an insight into possible chapters, motifs and narratives concerning photobooks, and so the essay is divided into the following parts: the first deals with a new definition of photobook, the second with a cliche of the otherness of the region, the third is a reassumption of topographic photography, the fourth focuses on issues of history in Central and Eastern Europe, while the fifth and final part is about an intense political atmosphere influencing the production of photobooks. All proposed new chapters are supported by examples of the most important books published in the 21st century. It is an attempt to create an initial catalog of canonical books, as well as an attempt to answer the title question: what makes contemporary Central European photobooks so different and so attractive?

A Photo Book as a Box: On Mladen Teofilović’s work The Core
Authors: Matić Jelena
Published: April 2023

The history of the photo book is practically old as the history of photography. A photo book is more than just an object with leaves and pages, photographs, with or without text. Throughout The Core, the work of the young artist Mladen Teofilović, the text analyses the photography book as the relationships between text, images, and spectator. According to the artist's idea, the photo book looks like a metal box that imitates a hospital file. Conceiving the work in this way, the artist reveals and interprets the fragments from his life: his struggle with a severe migraine, his attempt to find a solution, to accept his condition and live with it. Teofilović directs his photo book to the spectator, inviting him to take a part in disassembly, analysis and reading where every picture, text or sentence does not have to but can take on a different meaning.

Stillness and Movement: Photographic Essays and the Moving Images in Contemporary Digital Culture
Authors: Mišeljić Jelena
Published: April 2023

In the age of digital re-materialization and the circulation of visual content, the discussion on the nature of the photographic image has its implications on the medium itself. In the context of new and interconnected media, it is somewhat relevant to reconsider the definitions of traditional visual forms. This article will examine the relations between photographic images in different media contexts. If it is considered that the photographic books and essays are the assemblages of still photographs structured in a particular order, the first question that arises is how to, in the first place, define the structural norms in the context of contemporary circulationism. Thematically and formally, the relations between photography and cinema, duration and time, movement and stillness have been questioned historically. In the contemporary context, we can find similar examples present in the form of cinema also as an expression in everyday communication on different platforms, which Lev Manovich describes as a specific language. This article will examine the nature of that language, the correlation between still and moving mediums of photography. Finally, the aim is to recontextualize the definition of cinematic photo-essay in its articulation in social media platforms, as the main generators in circulationsim of images in contemporary digital culture.

The Intersection of Digital and Spatial Immersion: Architecture of Pavilions at Expo Dubai 2020
Authors: Gogić Sanja , Prodanović Duška
Published: April 2023

Expo Dubai 2020 is clear evidence of a 21st-century radical switch regarding the reception of art exhibitions. As Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, and Artificial Intelligence technologies have already developed enough to show significant influences on art, the following topic considers the merging of architecture and digital art, which are building immersive experiences together. The aim of this paper is to establish the level of inseparability and the type of connection between spatial and digital aspects that cooperatively stimulate and define the movement of visitors. As the creative capacity of architecture and digital art is unlimited in production, three country pavilions, Brazilian, South Korean, and Italian at Expo Dubai 2020, with distinct concepts are analyzed. Selected pavilions were showing diverse approaches to the application of digital technologies within the space, which makes new possible categories to be explored. A strongly emphasized multisensory aspect of spatial experience can be discovered through simple architectural technology in the Brazilian pavilion combined with the symbolic element of water, sounds, and vapors together with digital projections. Symbiosis of digital and architectural components of space is reached in the Italian pavilion by the double shifting of both digital and physical parts of the rope façade. The apparent combination of digital and analog surfaces on the kinetic facade in the Korean pavilion completes the basis for discussion about methods of hybridization of architecture and digital art. Although architecture is, according to Peter Sloterdijk, the original form of immersion, the selected pavilions demonstrate that participants of the state-of-the-art symbiosis of architecture and digital art can experience new types of immersive reception, simultaneously showcasing the application of the concept of mimesis.

The Conceptual Act of (Non)Instrumentality
Authors: Ristić Marko , Vesnić Snežana
Published: April 2023

This paper aims at hypothesizing that the issue of technology could never be considered separate from the creative act. We develop the hypothesis starting from Heidegger’s opposition of technology and the poietic, which we interpret through the dialectic between the performative and constative function of the hand. To overcome the Heideggerian problem of Enframing, we introduce the question of singularity inherent in every poietic activity which, however, does not result in conceiving technology as an instrument. When defining the nature of such poietic singularization we employ Spinoza’s concept of an inadequate idea – an idea that involves its cause but does not explain it. The inherent negativity of the inadequate idea generates the sphere in which the new appears as radical otherness. But in order to produce the new, that is, to perform it, technology has to be conceptualized and thus made an instrument – a singular instrument of the creative act.

Dominant trends in the development of social infrastructure in rural areas of the Republic of Mordovia
Authors: Ryabova Svetlana Gennadievna
Published: April 2023

The subject of the study is the dominant trends in the development of the social infrastructure of rural areas of the Republic of Mordovia. The author focuses on the fact that underestimation of the role of social infrastructure and a rather long period of its financing on a residual basis led to an increase in territorial imbalances in its development. Most of the social infrastructure facilities are concentrated in cities and district centers, and rural settlements are still significantly inferior to them in the level of infrastructure provision. The problems of physical deterioration of social infrastructure facilities, as well as the low level of their transport accessibility for the population living far from district centers remain relevant. The unevenness of social living conditions in rural settlements with different populations persists in almost all municipal districts of the republic. A detailed analysis of the structural elements of the social infrastructure of rural areas of the Republic of Mordovia indicates that the preservation of bipolar conditions of territorial development remains the dominant trend. The scientific novelty of this study is to identify territorial imbalances in the level of development of the social infrastructure of rural areas and to develop practical recommendations aimed at reducing them and increasing the infrastructural potential. According to the author, this will largely be facilitated by construction, bringing infrastructure facilities in line with modern requirements, ensuring balanced development of social infrastructure systems, etc. Special attention should be paid to improving the regulatory framework for the development of rural social infrastructure, creating conditions for attracting investment in the social sphere of the village.
The Role of the far Eastern Macroregion of Russia in Keeping the Economic Potential with the Countries of the Asian Region
Authors: Stepanov Nikita Sergeevich
Published: April 2023

The Russian Federation in the current conditions is intensively developing foreign economic relations with many countries of the Asian continent, and the Far Eastern macroregion is entrusted with solving a number of tasks that contribute to ensuring the spatial development of the country. For the further development of relations, it is necessary to take into account the current trends in the development of countries, including their new integration formats of interaction on the Asian continent. The subject of the study is to determine the main trends in Russia's international interaction with the countries of the Asian region in the context of global political events. The purpose of the study is to analyze the problems of the socio-economic development of the Far East, which acts as a key component in the development of interaction with Asian countries, and to find ways to solve them. The methodological basis of the study is the following methods of scientific knowledge: comparative and contrastive analysis, the method of analogies and the hypothetical-deductive method. The scientific novelty of the article includes the author's conclusions about the main problems that significantly reduce the effectiveness and limit the potential of the mechanism of international cooperation under consideration. The results of the study can be used by the authorities for foreign economic activity in the context of the development of the Far Eastern macroregion.
Protection of foreign investments during economic crises.
Authors: Grebenskaia Angelina Alekseevna , Tikhomirov Andrey Andreevich
Published: April 2023

Foreign investments play a crucial role in overcoming the economic crisis in individual States, especially if such a crisis is systemic in nature, and domestic entities lack resources that could be attracted to the economy. In this case, foreign investment is often the only way to restore the normal development of the socio-economic sphere. At the same time, in crisis situations, foreign investors themselves require special protection, which in this case are exposed not only to commercial risk (such risk is "normal", and no one is responsible to the investor for it), but also to "political" risk (which is usually inextricably linked with economic), if, for example, an economic crisis leads to a revolution, a coup, or simply a tightening of economic policy, within the framework of which enterprises are nationalized, including those created at the expense of foreign investment.   The currently existing international legal mechanisms, primarily insurance of "political" risk, do not solve the problem due to the fact that it is difficult for insurance companies to receive compensation from sovereign states by way of subrogation. Thus, the importance of national legislation increases - the norms of which should form the investment attractiveness of the state and give foreign investors confidence in protecting their rights even in a situation of economic crisis, for example, in Russia tax benefits are provided for foreign investors in case of adverse changes in the tax burden (the institute of "tax stability") in accordance with Article 9 of the Federal Law "On foreign investments".
Silencios dictatoriales y resistencias.
Authors: Poblete Nadia
Published: April 2023

Distintos silencios han cubierto la violencia política de Estado ejecutada durante las dictaduras del cono sur latinoamericano. La literatura que ha abordado este periodo de la historia reciente lo evidencia, así como los testimonios de sobrevivientes de la dictadura chilena y argentina. Este trabajo busca a partir de la revisión de literatura y el análisis de testimonios profundizar y analizar del silencio de las y los sobrevivientes tanto durante la experiencia concentracionaria como aquel silencio que existe una vez terminada la prisión política.

Para profundizar en lo anterior, se ha decidido presentar los silencios a partir de lo que se consideran momentos de la experiencia concentracionaria durante las dictaduras argentina y chilena. Se entiende que a lo menos existen dos grandes momentos: uno, la prisión política vivida en los centros reclusión clandestinos que comienza con la detención y se extiende hasta el reconocimiento- aparición del o la prisionera la que puede suceder ya sea con el traslado desde el centro de detención ilegal a una cárcel u otra instancia de reclusión legal o con la libertad aparentemente sin restricciones. El segundo, es aquel que comienza con la salida del centro de detención ilegal dando paso a un proceso distinto que no necesariamente implica un término de la experiencia concentracionaria, sobre todo, por el silencio en el que se mantiene lo vivido.

Uno de los silencios identificados por la literatura se relaciona con la tortura sexual. En este trabajo se destaca, que las mujeres ex presas políticas han logrado afrontar una serie de dificultades para denunciar y hablar sobre este tipo violencia. Distinto es el caso de los hombres, donde dicha violencia aún es cubierta por un manto de silencio.
Contra la clandestinidad: la dimensión pública del terrorismo de Estado en Argentina (1976-1979)
Authors: Solà Giralt Marta
Published: April 2023

En 1976, un golpe de Estado cívico-militar sumió a Argentina en la más cruenta dictadura que conoció el país. El Proceso de Reorganización Nacional consolidó en el país el terrorismo de Estado, que ya había sido testado, aplicado y perfeccionado durante los meses previos al golpe de Estado. Los secuestros, las torturas y los centros clandestinos de detención se convirtieron en herramientas imprescindibles para la instauración del terror y con el propósito final de eliminar la subversión, aunque para ello fuera necesaria la destrucción del pueblo argentino. Con tal de articular estos métodos terroristas, la clandestinidad y el ocultamiento de tales praxis a parte de la población se convertiría en un elemento preciso para poder desarrollar y extender el arsenal represivo. No obstante, la realización de semejantes prácticas en la vía pública, la presencia de testigos y la existencia de supervivientes dificultaron esa vía clandestina, arrojando luz sobre aquello que se intentaba ocultar. Surgió así la dimensión pública del terrorismo de Estado, que debería ser entendida como una grieta a la clandestinidad y al paralelismo global. El objetivo primordial de este análisis es considerar los mecanismos del Estado para la implementación y desarrollo del terrorismo durante los años 1976-1979 y observar cuáles fueron las fisuras de esa pretendida inviolable clandestinidad. Supervivientes dispuestos a contar el infierno que vivieron y a señalar los perpetradores; testigos de secuestros y asesinatos en plena calle; familiares de desaparecidos que osaron a denunciar la verdad y reclamar justicia. Estas son las piezas claves e irremplazables para revelar todo aquello oculto bajo el manto de la clandestinidad y, por ello, ejes principales de esta investigación.
Em busca da República
Authors: Alves Edson José de Meneses , Câmara Bruno Augusto Dornelas
Published: April 2023

This present article aims to analyze the main Brazilian movements with discussions about the idea of implanting a republic between 1789 and 11824 and discover which countries and/or which eras were the main inspirations for the unfolding of the respective movements. For this, we will analyze the following cases: the Mineira and Baiana Conjurations, in 1789 and 1798, respectively, in addition to the movements that occurred in Pernambuco and parts of the current Northeast in 1817 and 1824. For this, we will tell the construction of the concept “republican matrices” , developed by authors Heloisa Starling and Lilia Schwartz. Here, not only the republic will be highlighted, ideas such as federalism, autonomy and slavery will be highlighted. It is in these republican discussions that the activity of the press also played a significant role, whether in the form of a clandestine press, in the illegal importation of books into Brazil, as well as in the periodical press, using lampoons and newspapers to express support for the new system. of government, the republic. Faced with such approaches, this work will serve as an aid to compare some of the Brazilian republican movements and in which they differ from one another. This research was developed through a course completion work and serves as an introduction to republican thematic studies that will be developed in future research.

La justicia militar golpista como elemento difusor de responsabilidades en la guerra civil española (1936–1939)
Authors: Cidrás Fuentes Aldara
Published: April 2023

Tal y como vienen señalando las últimas investigaciones sobre el tema, la brutal violencia que siguió al golpe de Estado de 1936 no fue ejercida por un gran número de victimarios. Sin embargo, estos lograron que la sensación de culpabilidad emanada del proceso fuese percibida como un sentimiento a compartir por amplios grupos sociales. Esta paradoja ha tenido serias repercusiones tras la caída de la dictadura, siendo la más obvia la carencia de cualquier tipo de justicia transicional. En el presente artículo, analizaremos la violencia eliminacionista como elemento de unión que crea culpabilidades colectivas y que además actúa como nuevo pilar del poder político franquista. Nos adentraremos en el universo del terror, elaborando una prosopografía de los elementos que lo integran, explicando de qué forma lo articulan y cómo se relacionan entre sí. Para ello, prestaremos especial atención al funcionamiento del sistema judicial castrense, tanto en su papel como pieza clave en el seno de la lógica genocida, como en su faceta de interpretar una dramaturgia jurídica que persigue unos intereses concretos. La plaza militar de Pontevedra (Galicia) será nuestro caso de estudio, mostrando por un lado cómo la falta de frente de guerra no supuso ausencia de violencia y, por el otro, cómo la retaguardia actuó como laboratorio de pruebas de las prácticas eliminacionistas que después se exportarían a otros territorios del Estado según el avance de la guerra.
Rethinking Lustrations
Authors: Hochel Martin
Published: April 2023

Shortly after the Euromaidan protests in 2014, the new Ukrainian government passed two acts to consolidate democracy by means of lustration and vetting. Whilst the first Act On the restoration of trust in the judiciary concerns the judicial system only, the second ActOn Government Cleansingimpacts most of the public sector, as well as the military. The legislation was supported by the Civic Lustration Committee, whose main goal was to make sure that the President adopted their proposals for lustration. As this did not turn out to be the case, they gathered expertise from Central and Eastern Europe to draft the Law on Government Cleansing. The expertise consisted of various lawmakers and academics from Czech Republic, Poland, and Georgia (CIVIC LUSTRATION COMMITTEE, 2015). From these, the study has looked at how the Czechoslovak lustration resemble with the Ukrainian ones, as there is direct evidence of cooperation and both countries adopted exclusive lustrations. Specifically, it looks at their creation, reception, and effectivity. It argues that the Ukrainian lustrations do not fall within the framework of scholarship on transitional justice due to violence, lack of compatibility with the human rights, as well as the lack of effectivity in executing lustrations.

Published: April 2023

Background:

Severe type of segmental spinal dysgenesis (SSD) is a rare and complex anomaly in which the spinal cord completely disconnects at the portion of the spinal dysgenesis. Although closed spinal dysraphisms have been associated with SSD, to the best of our knowledge, the association between open neural tube defect (ONTD) and SSD is significantly rare, with only one case being reported to date.

Case Description:

We report a case of an infant with severe SSD and a disconnected spinal cord and spinal column at the thoracolumbar junction associated with myelomeningocele (MMC) in the lumbosacral region. The patient presented severe neurological deficits in the legs and impaired bowel function. The spinal column of L1–L3 was absent. The lower spinal segment consisted of neural placode at the L5–S1 level and no connecting structure between the upper and lower spinal cords. A repair surgery for MMC, including cord untethering and dura plasty, was performed. Histopathological findings revealed a neural placode consisting of a neuroglial tissue and leptomeninges.

Conclusion:

The management of severe SSD during the perinatal period is more challenging when it is associated with ONTD. We report detailed neuroradiological, intraoperative, and histological findings of such a case and discuss the embryopathogenesis of the associated ONTD and the treatment strategies.
Reversible and multiphasic parenchymal changes in MRI after coil embolization for a ruptured cerebral aneurysm
Authors: Miyamoto Shinya , Nishido Hajime , Ino Yasushi , Hoya Katsumi
Published: April 2023

Background:

Reversible and multiphasic parenchymal changes in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are exceedingly rare. The authors experienced a case of reversible and multiphasic parenchymal changes in MRI after coil embolization for a ruptured cerebral aneurysm.

Case Description:

A 48-year-old woman had a sudden onset of severe headaches and was referred to us for coil embolization. She was alert-oriented and had no neurologic deficits. Her medical history was atopic dermatitis and metal allergy. A head computed tomography (CT) scan demonstrated subarachnoid hemorrhage, and three-dimensional-CT angiography revealed a left internal carotid artery-posterior communicating artery aneurysm. Coil embolization was performed on the next day and seven coils made by three different manufacturers were used for the embolization. Despite no neurologic deficits after the surgery and no abnormal findings in MRI 7 days after the coil embolization, an MRI 2 weeks after embolization demonstrated delayed multiple white matter high intense lesions on T2-weighted image and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery in the left hemisphere. Repeat MRI scans showed multiple high intense lesions at various locations and at different timings. The blood test revealed the elevation of the proportion of EOS up to 9.7%, strongly indicating some allergic response. The MRI scan obtained 3 months after the onset confirmed the complete disappearance of the lesions.

Conclusion:

Given her history of metal allergy, and the reversible and multiphasic lesions in the non-vascular territories of the treated aneurysm, metal allergic encephalitis was most likely despite no clear evidence.

In materials research, the task of characterizing hundreds of different materials traditionally requires equally many human hours spent measuring samples one by one. We demonstrate that with the integration of computer vision into this material research workflow, many of these tasks can be automated, significantly accelerating the throughput of the workflow for scientists. We present a framework that uses vision to address specific pain points in the characterization of perovskite semiconductors, a group of materials with the potential to form new types of solar cells. With this approach, we automate the measurement and computation of chemical and optoelectronic properties of perovskites. Our framework proposes the following four key contributions: (i) a computer vision tool for scalable segmentation to arbitrarily many material samples, (ii) a tool to extract the chemical composition of all material samples, (iii) an algorithm capable of automatically computing band gap across arbitrarily many unique samples using vision-segmented hyperspectral reflectance data, and (iv) automating the stability measurement of multi-hour perovskite degradation experiments with vision for spatially non-uniform samples. We demonstrate the key contributions of the proposed framework on eighty samples of unique composition from the formamidinium-methylammonium lead tri-iodide perovskite system and validate the accuracy of each method using human evaluation and X-ray diffraction.
Flexible Backbone Effects on the Redox Properties of Perylene Diimide-Based Polymers

Published: April 2023

Organic electrode materials are appealing candidates for a wide range of applications, including heterogeneous electroca-talysis and electrochemical energy storage. However, the narrow understanding of structure-property relationships in these materials hinders the full realization of their potential. Herein, we investigate a family of insoluble, perylene diimide (PDI) polymers to interrogate how backbone flexibility affects their thermodynamic and kinetic redox properties. We verify that the polymers generally access the highest percentage of redox-active groups with K+ (versus Na+ and Li+) due to its small solvation shell/energy and favorable soft-soft interactions with reduced PDI species. Through cyclic voltammetry, we show that increasing polymer flexibility does not minimize barriers to ion-insertion processes but ra-ther increases diffusion-limited processes. Further, we propose that the condensation of imides to iminoimides can trun-cate imide polymer chain growth for certain diamine monomers, leading to greater polymer solubilization and reduced cycling stability. Together, our results provide insight into how polymer flexibility, ion-electrode interactions, and polymerization side reactions dictate the redox properties of PDI polymers, paving the way for the development of next-generation organic electrode materials.

Published: April 2023

Most photochemistry occurs in the regime of weak light-matter coupling, in which a molecule absorbs a photon and then performs pho-tochemistry from its excited state. In the strong coupling regime, enhanced light-matter interactions between an optical field and multiple molecules lead to collective hybrid light-matter states called polaritons. This strong coupling leads to fundamental changes in the nature of the excited states including multi-molecule delocalized excitations, modified potential energy surfaces, and dramatically altered energy levels relative to non-coupled molecules. The effect of strong light-matter coupling on covalent photochemistry has not been well ex-plored. Photoswitches undergo reversible intramolecular photoreactions that can be readily monitored spectroscopically. In this work, we study the effect of strong-light matter coupling on the kinetics of photoswitching within optical cavities. Reproducing prior experiments, strong coupling causes decelerated photoswitching in spiropyran/merocyanine photoswitches. Fulgide photoswitches, however, show the opposite effect, with strong coupling accelerating photoswitching. While modified merocyanine switching can be explained by changes in radiative decay rates, modifications of fulgide switching kinetics suggest direct changes to excited-state reaction kinetics.
