Published: April 2019

Background: Ethnicity is seen to effect normal reference values and pre­diction equations of pulmonary function tests (PFTs). The normal refer­ence of PFTs among mongoloid and non mongoloid group of Dharan is not available. The aim of the study was to find out the normal reference val­ues of two groups in Dharan and also to find out the correlation of height, weight and body surface area with different PFT parameters.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 250 (125 mongoloids and 125 non mongoloids) healthy male subjects. Convenient sampling technique was done. Every 5th patient attendant who was per­manent resident of Dharan coming to clinical Physiology lab was selected as subject in each group. Portable PFT machine (CHESTOGRAPH, HI-101 Spirometry system) was used for measurement of our test. The test was conducted according to European Respiratory Society (ERS)/American Thoracic Society (ATS criteria.

Results: Independent sample t-test was used to compare means be­tween two groups. There was significantly more height (165.30±8.21 vs 161.43±7.35), p <.05], weight [(59.29±11.64 vs 55.32±10.75), p<.05andbody surface area [(1.64±.172Vs1.57±.149), p<.05], in the non-mongoloid group compared to mongoloid group. PFT param­eters were also higher in non-mongoloid group VC [(3.3982±.70725 Vs3.0982±.78832) p<.05], FVC [(3.2798±.74312 Vs 2.988±.81970), p <.05], and FEV1 [(3.0668±.72044 Vs 2.7861±.83061) p<.05]. The prediction equations were also calculated for both groups.

Conclusions: There was difference in PFT parameters between two groups. Prediction equations were also different in both groups.
Temporal space infection secondary to recurrent buccal space infection from mandibular deciduous molar in 7-year-old child: a case report
Authors: Rout Sourav , Gautam Shailesh , Shah Arun Kumar
Published: April 2019

Head and neck space infections are usually secondary to odontogenic infections due to translocation of oral microbes to fascial space via odontogenic route resulting in progression by enzymatic degradation of connective tissue. Various factors like microbiological, host, nutritional and socioeconomic factors are responsible for progression of fascial space infection that might take fatal course if not treated in time. The present case report describes a child with fascial space infection of oral and maxillofacial region who was treated by incision and drainage in department of oral and maxillofacial surgery of this hospital. Fascial space infections are one of the surgical emergencies and need to be addressed in early stage as it has rapid regional and systemic progression leading to fatal outcome. It is multifactorial and all need to be addressed. Incision and drainage with removal of cause with antimicrobial therapy is treatment modality of space infection. Inadequate drainage might lead to recurrence of infection and progression to distant secondary spaces.
Arsenic contamination of groundwater in the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal, as a consequence of rapid erosion
Authors: Emerman Steven H. , Prasai Tista , Anderson Ryan B. , Palmer Mallory A.
Published: April 2019

Elevated levels of arsenic (As) in groundwater in the flood plain of the Ganges River have been well-documented over the past decades. The objective of this study was to measure As and the transition elements normally associated with As in the Kathmandu Valley in Nepal, a heavily populated tectonic valley in the upper reaches of the Ganges River system. Water samples were collected from six shallow tubewells (depth < 50 m), eight deep tubewells and 13 dug wells and stone spouts. Electrical conductivity, temperature and pH were measured on-site and concentrations of As, Fe, Cu, Ni, Co, Mn, Zn and Cr were measured with a spectrophotometer. Five tubewells and four dug wells had As levels exceeding the Nepal Interim Standard (As = 0.05 mg/L). There was no statistically significant clustering of As levels either with depth or horizontal location. Arsenic was uncorrelated with either Fe (R2 = 0.096), Mn (R2 = 0.0004) or any combination of transition elements (R2 < 0.083), which is inconsistent with both the reduction-dissolution and the sulfide oxidation models for As release. The geometric mean As level of groundwater (As = 0.015 mg/L) was indistinguishable from the geometric mean As level of surface water (As = 0.013 mg/L) obtained from 48 river samples from the Kathmandu Valley in a previous study. We are suggesting that elevated groundwater As results not from subsurface redox conditions, but from losing streams with elevated As, which is a consequence of rapid erosion caused by a combination of monsoon climate, tectonic uplift and deforestation.

The Illusion of Socialist Ideology and Russian Revolution: A Marxist- Deconstructive Reading of Doctor Zhivago
Authors: Jajja M Ayub
Published: April 2019

The present study investigates the representations of the socialist ideology and Russian revolution of 1917 in Doctor Zhivago by Boris Pasternak. The thrust of the study shows the alternative micro narratives, deconstructs socialist ideology and revolution as merely illusionist, foundationalist assumptions. These strands challenge and question the dominant status of socialist ideology and revolution as an absolute and an overarching point of reference. The existence of alternative micro narratives expose the myth of the socialist Russian revolution as an icon of brotherhood, freedom, democracy and the socioeconomic justice. The study also shows absence of transformation in the mere replacement of one kind of totality by another of its kind. It only keeps the binaries of dominance and submission intact. The study is undertaken in the light of an eclectic theoretical framework of Marxism and Deconstruction.
Se perdre afin de se retrouver : l'importance du passage entre l’absence et la présence dans Œdipe sur la route de Henry Bauchau
Authors: Ślusarska Alicja
Published: April 2019

Retracing in his novel the labyrinthine journey that leads Oedipus from the place of his abomination (Thebes) to the city of his future glory (Colonus), Henry Bauchau fills the emptiness between Sophocles’s Oedipus the King and Oedipus at Colonus. Bauchau’s hero, a powerful king, loses everything and stabs his eyes out when the cruel truth about his real identity is revealed. Blind, homeless, devoid of meaning of life, Oedipus leaves on a journey to pass away anywhere. However, his way to death turns out to be, thanks to benevolent presence of others and art’s liberating power, the road to personal elucidation. The story of Bauchau’s Oedipus, who finally recognizes himself as a truly human, is based therefore on the passage between absence and presence, between darkness and lucidity, on the union of contradictions which symbolize the complexity of human nature. This paper attempts to analyse different representations of absence in Bauchau’s novel. Afterwards, the article focuses on the ways which facilitate Oedipus’s road leading from depersonalization to rediscovery of his own identity.
Novecento, celui qui n’existait pas
Authors: Miazga Krystyna
Published: April 2019

The division of the article into three parts represents the three phenomena of absence present in Novecento, a work of Alessandro Baricco. First, the author discusses the peculiar existence of a main character, which, on the internal level of the story told in the book, is full of absence. On the external level, the author focuses on the manner of narration and stage performance (didascalia). His second scope of interest is the lack of author’s unanimous statement concerning the text genre, as well as the interspersion of important elements of drama, theatre and both, pure narrative and music forms. This, recently quite popular phenomenon, has been called hybridity. It allows the juxtaposing of contrasts, joining of contradictions and departures from the accepted specific rules in favour of artistic generic disarray. Moreover, this part of the paper stresses the difference between the original title and its French translation. The extra information added in the French version highlights the lack of precision in the original title. This significantly influences the readers’ choice. The third phenomenon discussed in the article is music. It has its special place among Baricco’s works. In Novecento, music is the second, after the pianist, protagonist. It can be even treated as equally important. However, the lack of a musical code (a proper way of communication) reduces the domination of music. By using a linguistic sign, the author gave music an important function – being the catalyst and medium between what exists but cannot be seen and what can be felt but cannot be expressed in words. Absence, perceived by human senses and the inadequacy of verbal expression, is elicited through music and, paradoxically, it becomes present.
Absence du romanesque dans le roman hybride de Charles Nodier – Adèle
Authors: Rabsztyn Andrzej
Published: April 2019

This paper deals with intentional breakaway of novel elements in romantic story published in 1820. On the one hand, the book belongs to the rich tradition of epistolary, on the other, it also gives un example of how formal borders can be transgressed between novel composed of letters and novel written as intimate diary, what leads to the disappearance of typical novel elements in texts from the turn of XVII and XVIII c. This absence of fiction appears firstly in paratext (especially in preface to the novel), where the author presents his own concept of novel, and then in letters.

Tom est mort/Mot est mort – l'impossibilité du langage dans le roman de Marie Darrieussecq
Authors: Kotowska Katarzyna
Published: April 2019

An emptiness after one’s child death seems to be impossible to describe. In her novel Tom is dead, Marie Darrieussecq explores mother’s forbidden thoughts. She reconstructs her grieving process ten years after an accidental death of her four years old son. She starts to write a journal to finally deal with her trauma. Darrieussecq challenges the taboo or writing about things that words are almost impossible to express.

The significant thing is that the boy’s name “Tom”, is the anagram of “mot” which stands for “a word” in French. For that reason the death of Tom becomes the death of word. The analysis of the novel in the optic of psychoanalysis results in interesting conclusions, just likewise Marie Darrieussecq’s study in meta-literary context.

Regulation of A375 melanoma cell adhesion and migration by EphB4 and EphrinB2 – insights from co-culture experiments
Authors: Neuber Christin , Laube Markus , Mamat Constantin , Belter Birgit , Pietzsch Jens
Published: April 2019

BACKGROUND:

Malignant melanoma is the most malignant skin neoplasm due to early metastasis and resistance to currently available therapies. Inflammatory tumor infiltrate, particularly macrophages, are of outstanding importance for melanoma progression and therapy response. EphB4 receptor and its preferred ligand EphrinB2 are also associated with melanoma progression, metastasis, and therapy resistance.

OBJECTIVE:

The aim of our study was to systematically investigate the role of EphB4 for melanoma cell adhesion and migration, also in the presence of macrophages, considering experimental i) EphB4 overexpression, ii) EphB4 activation, iii) inhibition of EphB4 and EphrinB2 interaction, and iv) inhibition of EphB4 and downstream signaling.

RESULTS:

Overexpression of EphB4 resulted in increased A375 melanoma cell adhesion showing EphrinB2 reverse signaling rather than EphB4 forward signaling being responsible. By contrast, A375 melanoma cell migration was not affected by EphB4 overexpression and effects due to modulation of EphB4/EphrinB2 signaling were inconsistent. In co-culture experiments macrophages (HL-60(M)) showed substantial influence on adhesion and migration of A375 cells. However, HL-60(M)-mediated effects could not be assigned to EphB4/EphrinB2 signaling, but rather to cytokine signaling pathways.

CONCLUSIONS:

Under the used experimental settings EphB4 is important for adhesion, but not for the migration of A375 melanoma cells. Macrophages influenced adhesion and migration of melanoma cells but without significant involvement of EphB4/EphrinB2 signaling.

How To Develop Innovation Capabilities On Creative Industry
Authors: Wuryaningrat Nikolas F. , Kindangen Paulus , Sendouw Greis , Lumanouw Bode
Published: April 2019

The sustainable competitive advantage of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in creative industry could be demonstrated through the innovation capabilities. In knowledge management literature, knowledge sharing is the key effort to develop innovation capabilities. There are two contrasting theories of Knowledge sharing, Szulanski’s theory assumes a knowledge sharing process is 'sticky' and ambiguous, while Nelson considered knowledge sharing to be an automatic process in an organization. This study arguing, employee fit will make impact on trust is a relatively new idea to bridging the two contrasting theories. Through the study, it was assuming that in order to develop the innovation capabilities of SMEs in the creative industry, knowledge sharing is needed, where trust is a crucial factor in knowledge sharing literature. However, building trust is not a simple matter, it assumed that the employee fit (person job fit and person organization fit) can be useful to build trust in the organization. This research conducted on Bali Province, Special Region Yogyakarta and North Sulawesi Province to represent Indonesia creative industry. 100 data were collected and analyzed with PLS-SEM. The results of this study can be concluded that the SMEs in creative industry innovation capabilities directly influenced by employees fit. The employee fit also significant influenced on trust, and as expected trust strongly influenced knowledge sharing. Surprisingly, knowledge sharing did not influence on innovation capabilities as expected before. The possibility reason, that knowledge sharing dimensions could not make any significant effect due of the concept of innovation funnel and absorptive capacity, which explained that, the more knowledge could achieve, the less knowledge could absorb.
TYPOLOGY OF SEMANTIC FIELDS OF COMPARISON FOR THE OBJECT VALUE (on the material of D. Keshelia's novel collage “Rodaky”)
Authors: Валентина Петрівна Заскалета
Published: April 2019

Introduction. Artistic comparison is one of the most expressive trails, and it is oftenused by word masters to depict the appearance of characters, their way of thinking, peculiaritiesof speech, behavior, and others like that. Classical comparison has a three-component structure,which includes: 1) the subject of comparison; 2) the object of comparison; 3) a sign on the basisof which there is a comparison of objects. It is the object of comparison and the characteristicby which the unknown and well-known objects are compare are the most important componentsby which the writer manages to bring to the reader a certain emotion – sympathy, neglect,compassion, fear, laughter, etc.The purpose of this article is to distinguish the semantic fields (hereinafter SF) of thecomparative constructions used by the writer D. Keshelia in his novel Collage of the elementsof the national life of “Rodaky”, in terms of the object of comparison.Research methods. The continuous sampling method was used to collect actual material;the method of classification and systematization for referring the material to the correspondinglexical-thematic groups hereinafter LSG)), and the method of quantitative calculations was usedto detect the frequency of objects of comparison of a particular semantics.Research results. The analysis of the actual material (without taking into accountthe grammatical structure of the comparative construction) allowed to distinguish accordingto the value of the object of comparison such SP: “man”, “living nature”, “immortal nature”,“objects created by man”, “time”, “abstractness” , “Mythical names”.Conclusion. The best represented in the novel by D. Keshelia “Rodaky” from the pointof view of the object of comparison is SF “man”.

UNIVERSAL COMPONENTS OF SYMBOLIC IMAGERY IN NARRATIVE OF UKRAINIAN AND ENGLISH FAIRY TALES

Published: April 2019

Introduction. The paper focuses on the study of fairy-tale narrative with special interest to the universal components of the folk tale symbolic imagery. Semiotic (symbolic) facet in the Ukrainian and English fairy-tales’ narrative analysis contributes to further investigations inthe field of linguosemiotic, linguocultural, literary-semiotic and other cross-disciplinary studies.Purpose. The paper aims at revealing of common archetypes or prototypes of the symbolic images and motifs in Ukrainian and English fairy tales.To achieve this purpose we have applied the integrative methodology based on methods of contextual interpretation analysis, intertextual analysis, elements of the method of comparative analysis of Ukrainian and English fairy tales, as well as elements of the methods of archetypaland narrative analyses.The major results refer to the identifying the similar symbolic properties of the Ukrainian and English fairy tales. We have revealed and described the most widespread symbolic images: a symbol of forest as a boundary space between fantastic worlds and, at the same time, a netherworld, associated with the universal motif of initiation; a symbol of tree manifested bythe symbolic images of oak and apple tree acting both as the character’s assistant and mediator between the worlds; an ambivalent symbol of apple involving the archetypal motifs of eternal youth, earthly desires, temptations and transition to another world. Next recurrent motif is thepersonage’s transformation into an animal or a bird, metaphorically manifesting the archetypal idea of ancestors’ reincarnation in totems. The motif of marriage on animals is no less common in tales together with the motive of the totem assistant. Both the bird and the horse belongto universal mythologems, the former associating with a symbol of the soul and metonymically performing a function of the content of the soul, and the latter acting as an assistant and a mediator between the worlds. The archetypal symbols of fire and water are symbolically reinterpretedin fairy tales as the border between the worlds, manifestations of the idea of good and evil, symbols of purification as well as in paradigms of ambivalent images appearing as the metonymicmanifestations of the basic symbols.Conclusion. Constant images of fairy tales symbolize the unity of man with nature, with animals and birds, elements of being. The fairy-tale symbols appear as a system organization, the paradigm of images, with numerous metonymic and metaphorical derivatives from basic symbols, as well as the syntagmatic symbolic links between archetypal symbols and associatedsymbolic motifs.
CONCEPTUAL SPACE OF AESTHETIC EVALUATION IN ENGLISH ROMANTIC LYRICS
Authors: В. Г. НІКОНОВА  , Я. В. БОЙКО
Published: April 2019

Introduction. This article focuses on the axiologically tinged notional implications which are characteristic of English romantic poets’ cognitive style. These implications are revealed via a comprehensive analysis of aesthetic evaluation which is verbalized in poetic texts and by modeling the conceptual space of aesthetic evaluation THE BEAUTIFUL / THE UGLY.Purpose. The paper aims at revealing the axiologically marked meanings specific to the cognitive style of the English romantic poets by modeling the conceptual space of aesthetic evaluation THE BEAUTIFUL / THE UGLY in English romantic lyrics.Methods. The poliparadigmatic methodology of the research combines three approaches: linguocultural, linguopoetic and cognitive.Results. The paper suggests the identification of axiologically charged literary concepts, the construction of the conceptual space of aesthetic evaluation THE BEAUTIFUL / THE UGLY as a two-layer model (notionally-evaluative and figuratively-evaluative). Each layer is modelledin a particular way (as a frame, as a notional field or in terms of conceptual metaphor), which has made it possible to determine the notional implications characteristic of the all-human, ethnocultural and poets’ evaluative worldviews as embodied in English romantic lyrics.Conclusion. The aesthetic priorities of the English romantic poets – fear, God, life – and their close interconnection and interdependence are revealed, which makes it possible to determine the quintessence of the romantic poetic worldview: human life, in which the fear, determined by the will of God, prevails. The ambivalence in the evaluative attitude of romantic poets to life, as well as their understanding of God and fear as its determinants, is based on the moral norms of mankind and the culture of the English nation. The overall gloomy coloring of the author's evaluative worldview is determined by a sharp negative social aesthetic assessment,but the unconventional interpretation of life as good, a strong faith in the bright future, peace and progress testifies to the difference of poets’ world evaluation from the societal aesthetic assessment of the era of global transformation.
ACCENTUATIONAL PECULIARITIES OF VERBATIVES WITH DISPOSABLE SEMANTICS IN THE SOUTH-WESTERN PATOIS OF UKRAINIAN LANGUAGE
Authors: К. М. ІВАНОЧКО
Published: April 2019

Introduction. The paper focuses on the accentual specifics of the VIIth Structural Class verbs with disposable semantics in the south-western patois in correlation with those in late pre-Slavic language community and Ukrainian literary language.Purpose. The paper aims at tracing back the process of root accentuation formation in the verbs under investigation, finding their stress tendencies; defining the role and place of the patois in the process of establishing accent norms in variants of the Ukrainian literary language, and thus in present day Ukrainian language; explaining the causes of stressincompatibility of the verbatives in the patois under analysis as well as in south-western variants of the literary language and present day literary Ukrainian.Methods. To achieve the aim of the work the following methods of investigation have been applied: comparative-historic and that of internal reconstruction, inductive and deductive, synchronic and diachronic.Results. It has been revealed that the process derivatives, performing as the bearers of process semantics of influence on the object (subject) and movement in space, mainly accompanied by sound, are characterized by usage and derivation productivity, completeness of the grammatical paradigm, perfective aspect grammeme, morphological, phonetical and stress variance with the root one prevailing. It has also been found out that the majority of the verbatives belong to the derivative possessions of the Ukrainian language proper, root accentuation of which having been caused by the analogy to the derivatives of the mentioned paradigms.The stress shift from the root to the stem class suffix in the infinitive, and more rarely to the flexion in presence in the group of the verbative analyzed are motivated by rhythmic organizing of song lyrics, stress specifics of Lemcovian dialects, technical omissions of the compilers of thecorresponding lexicographic sources and functional load of the stress.Conclusion. The sporadicity of variance accentuation (root and suffix-flexional) of some verbs is motivated by crossing two (South-western and South-eastern) stress tendencies of the Ukrainian language. Suffix-flexional accentuation of the part of the defined derivatives in south-eastern variant of the Ukrainian literary language and present day Ukrainian is explained by the influence of the Russian language lexicographic tradition.
