Published: February 2023

A geophysical survey has been carried out to assess the distribution of gold minerals at the Felda Chiku 3, Gua Musang district, Kelantan, Peninsular Malaysia. A 2-D geo-electrical resistivity imaging (ERI), combined with Induced Polarization (IP) method, and Oasis Montaj modelling were applied to delineate the potential conductive zones associated with sulphide mineralization. Most Peninsular Malaysia’s gold deposits occur in hydrothermal sulphides as discrete ore formations within the host rocks. A good correlation between the ERI and the IP profiles was observed during the interpretation of the model that successfully identifying the low resistive, and high chargeable sulphide zones, which correspond to the gold mineralization zones. The correlations could be linked to the conductive features at depth ranging from about 25 m - 135 m, trending along N-S directions. The study suggests further geo-electrical investigation to be carried out towards the south-western part of the area as more potential mineralized zones with N-S trends could be found in this region. Further studies would be able to give the extent of the gold deposits in Kelantan and by extension, allow for better informed mineral exploration and drilling operations to mine the gold in the region.

A decisive influence on complexity and speed of a combinational logic circuit of library CMOS elements is exerted by the preliminary stage of technologically independent optimization of the implemented system of Boolean functions. At present, the main methods of such optimization in the logical synthesis of custom CMOS VLSI blocks are methods for minimizing binary decision diagrams — Binary Decision Diagrams (BDD) or their modifications. Graphical representations of BDD are built on the basis of the Shannon expansions of Boolean functions. A BDD graph corresponds to a set of interrelated Shannon expansion formulas that form a multilevel representation of the minimized system of Boolean functions. The efficiency of applying various optimization procedures of minimization for several types of BDD representations of systems of Boolean functions is investigated in the paper. 7hese procedures are used as a technologically independent optimization in the synthesis of multi-output logic circuits of library CMOS elements. In addition to single logical optimization procedures, sequences of such procedures are studied that form various methods of logical optimization of multilevel representations of systems of Boolean functions. The results of experiments on 49 examples of systems of Boolean functions are presented. 25 optimization routes have been studied, efficient routes have been determined for various types of specifications of function systems. The obtained experimental results are compared with the known ones. It has been established that to estimate the complexity of optimized algebraic representations of systems of functions, it is advisable to use such a criterion as the total number of literals (variables or their inversions) of Boolean variables.
Typology and Modeling Profiles of Moving-Class Process-Entity Interactions: Core Types, Relationships, Constraints and Subschemas
Authors:   Computer Centre of Far-Eastern Branch of RAS, Khabarovsk, 680035, Russian Federation, Rodionov A. N.
Published: February 2023

Most of scientific research that are immediately concerned with the development of domain digital models, to one degree or another, is aimed at the derivation of reference conceptual and logical constructions covering all pertinent classes of interactions in which real-world objects with concomitant constraints can be involved. This work is directed to forming the core of a structural template that models facts — instances of associates that arise during the movement (transportation) of freights. The multiple alternatives and high variability of any processes logic, including moving-class processes, make their complete unification problematic. Nevertheless, one can come down to process modeling from a system-wide perspective, focusing on the capture of universal permanent processes components, such as source and output sets of objects, associations and constraints. The reality exhibits examples of hierarchical coherence of any classes of generalized processes, which in their sequential development break up into several self-sufficient processes distributed between organizational, calendar and implementation phases. The main focus of the work is on the sequential (from simple to complex) configuration of the structural core of process-entity interactions in the organizational phase, covering route segments, transport and freights, as well as the study of constraints on permissible instances of links incoming into the corresponding associative complex. Conceptual diagrams are presented in simplified and thorough formats. In a simplified format, multi-valued dependencies are modeled by means of weak entities and relators. In a thorough format, weak entities and relators have been replaced with documentary types, the structures of which contain an eXhaustive set of information about all objects, including auXiliary ones that are involved in interactions. The paper also considers the influence of the environment that is represented by classifying sets on the content of bounded relationships operating between the entity and process types. We have ascertained, formalized and described all constraints appearing in the organizational phase of generalized transport process including new constraint kind — split dependent link, resulting from the formation of cycles in conceptual constructions. Similar cycles contain and link together split, entity and (or) process types.

The application of neural-fuzzy technologies for solving the problem of classification of states of objects of complex structure is considered. A quantitative assessment of the technical condition of the facility is proposed on the basis of a complex indicator — the technical condition index (ITS). The methodology of classification of technical conditions of objects of complex structure is based on the adaptive neural mesh interference system (ANFIS) and the neural mesh classifier (NNA), which significantly accelerated and improved the accuracy of calculations for effective management of these objects.
Kyivan Industry and Trade in the second half of the 19th century through the lens of the Exhibition “Shevchenko in the language of city”: Texts and Images
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko national University of Kyiv, Mahdych Oleh
Published: February 2023

The author explores how the development of industry and trade in Kyiv in the second half of the 19th century was visualised in the exhibition “Shevchenko in the language of the city” that took place at Taras Shevchenko National Museum from November 4 of 2020 through March 31 of 2021. Scholars addressed urban development in Ukraine on a number of occasions, especially in the Soviet times. Contemporary historians also tackled the issues related to the industry and trade of Ukrainian cities. However, there is still room for improvement as new challenges arise. Classic narrative strategies are not enough in the museum environment. Researchers and curators have to work together in order to develop a visual strategy for curatorial projects based on published and unpublished data and images. “Shevchenko in the language of the city” is a curatorial project aimed at visualising socio-economic life in Kyiv in the times of the great Ukrainian poet. Curators focused on sugar, brick, ceramic and textile industries as key to the Kyivan economy of the second half of the 19th century. They sought to demonstrate the spectrum of the Kyivan economy to museum visitors through a range of visual sources. The author analyses how maps, installations, and infographics were used for this purpose. He looks in particular at the map of sugar factories and infographics that visualise industrial development in Kyiv from 1848 through 1908. The author also examines the use of digital tools for recreating the economic space of Kyiv and its impact on everyday life.
On the correlation of terms: «state regulation», «self‑regulation», «legal regime of economic activity»
Authors: Andronova T. A. , Tarasenko O. А.
Published: February 2023

The focus of this article is the analysis of the correlation of related categories: «state regulation», «self-regulation», «legal regime». The authors reveal their content, refracting it through doctrine and law. At the same time, the constitutive features of the category “legal regime” and its varieties are noted; self-regulation models of their modification are revealed, as well as trends and prospects for the development of the institution of self-regulation. Analyzing these issues, the authors come to the conclusion that self-regulation and the legal regime of economic activity are inextricably linked with state regulation and are its continuation with certain models of implementation. Self-regulation is introduced where the state decides to transfer its powers to self-regulatory organizations in certain areas of business or professional activity. The legal regime of economic activity is implemented by the state in cases where it is necessary to establish a procedure for regulation in a certain area of the economy.

Los hábitats anfibios son ecosistemas naturales en los que conviven los grupos humanos entre agua y tierra e inundación y sequía. El problema es la falta de estudio, ya que desde los autores de referencia hay una brecha de 10 años en los que son necesarios enunciar el asentamiento, tipología de vivienda con materiales y sistemas constructivos.  El objetivo consistió en identificar las afectaciones por el cambio climático en una comunidad rural del corregimiento de Bocas del Atrato de Turbo-Antioquia, a través de una investigación colaborativa entre la comunidad, el sector público y la academia por medio de la metodología participativa en construcción “Acciones Transformadoras”. Como resultado se obtuvo la proyectación conceptual de estrategias basadas en la naturaleza y se concluyó que aún deben seguirse estudiando en estos paisajes anfibios en territorios similares para generar diferentes rutas a explotar desde el conocimiento del saber local y la academia, a través del emprendimiento.
Impact of the type of hematopoietic stem-cell transplant on quality of life and psychopathology
Authors: Janicsák Henrietta , Masszi Tamás , Reményi Péter , Ungvari Gabor S. , Gazdag Gábor
Published: February 2023

Background and purpose – Despite the decrease in transplant-related mortality, patients who receive hematopoietic stemcell transplants often suffer from short-and long-term morbidities, poorer quality of life, and psychosocial functioning deficits. Several studies have compared the quality of life and affective symptoms of patients after undergoing autologous and allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplants. Some studies have reported similar or greater quality of life impairments in allogeneic hematopoietic stemcell recipients, but the findings have been inconsistent. Our purpose was to examine the influence of the type of hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation on the quality of life and affective symptoms of patients. Methods – The study sample comprised 121 patients with various hematological diseases who underwent hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation at St. István and St. László Hospitals, Budapest. The study had a cross-sectional design. Quality of life was evaluated using the Hungarian version of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy– Bone Marrow Transplant scale (FACT-BMT). Anxiety and depressive symptoms were assessed using Spielberger’s State and Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), respectively. Basic sociodemographic and clinical variables were also recorded. Comparisons between autologous and allogeneic recipients were analyzed using a t-test when the variables were normally distributed and a Mann–Whitney U test otherwise. A stepwise multiple linear regression analysis was performed to identify the risk factors that contributed to the quality of life and the affective symptoms in each group. Results – Quality of life (p=0.83) and affective symptoms (pBDI=0.24; pSSTAI=0.63) were similar between the autologous and allogeneic transplant groups. The BDI scores of allogeneic transplant patients indicated mild depression, but their STAI scores were similar to those of the general population. Allogeneic transplant patients with symptoms of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) experienced more severe clinical conditions (p=0.01), poorer functional status (p<0.01) and received more immunosuppressive treatment (p<0.01) than those without graft versus host disease. Patients suffering from graft versus host disease experienced more severe depression (p=0.01), and constant anxiety (p=0.03) than those without graft versus host disease. Quality of life was affected by depressive and anxiety symptoms and psychiatric comorbidity in both the allogeneic and autologous groups. Conclusion – Graft versus host disease-related severe somatic complaints seemed to influence the allogeneic transplant patients’ quality of life by inducing depressive and anxiety symptoms.
Application of a sliding scale of priorities in problems of the management optimization
Authors: Вечерская С.Е.
Published: February 2023

Современные подходы к оптимизации управления требуют принятия во внимание резкого роста степени неопределенности. Одним из возможных решений этой проблемы является применение скользящей шкалы приоритетов. Показано, что процесс выбора модели оптимизируемой системы должен включать качественную оценку степени вариативности всех параметров целевой функции. Методы математического программирования могут быть использованы для большинства задач управления, причем скользящая шкала приоритетов для целевой функции приведет к необходимости применения стохастического программирования, а для скользящей шкалы параметров целевой функции будет необходимо динамическое программирование.

Modern approaches to management optimization require taking into account a sharp increase in the degree of uncertainty. One possible solution to this problem is to use a sliding scale of priorities. The study shows that the process of choosing a model of the optimized system should include a qualitative assessment of the degree of variability of all parameters of the objective function. Mathematical programming methods can be used for most management tasks. A sliding scale of priorities for the objective function will require the use of the stochastic programming, and for a sliding scale of parameters of the objective function, the dynamic programming is necessary.

Published: February 2023

An orbital apex syndrome (OAS) has been described previously as a syndrome involving damage to the ocular motor and sensory nerves in association with optic nerve dysfunction. Patients usually present with signs and symptoms derived from the involvement of structures within the orbital apex, the superior orbital fissure, and the cavernous sinus. Visual loss from optic neuropathy and ophthalmoplegia involving multiple cranial nerves are the hallmarks of orbital apex syndrome. Historically, superior orbital fissure, orbital apex, and cavernous sinus are being used to define the anatomical locations of a disease process. However, the diagnostic evaluation and management are similar for each of these entities. The authors reviewed the literature on evaluating disorders involving the orbital apex and it’s diagnosis.

Authors: Shetty Shrithi Das , P Shashikala
Published: February 2023

To analyze accuracy in clinical diagnosis of peri-ocular benign lesions.

A prospective, interventional study of 279 clinically diagnosed and or histo-pathologically confirmed eyelid mass lesions. At presentation, detailed demographic data, symptoms, duration since the mass noted, it’s location, size & physical appearance, progression/regression/recurrence of the lid mass if any and associated systemic ailments were noted. Then, a pre-treatment clinical diagnosis (PTCD) was made. The treatment given, its outcome and histo-pathological examination (HPE) report were noted. Results then analysed in terms of how many cases needed HPE and in how many did PTCD match with HPE reports.

Commonest lesions were of infective type (64.5%) followed by cysts and neoplastic which together contributed for 26.9% cases and others like congenital, traumatic, depositive etc., contributed for 8.6%. Totally, 25.8% sent for HPE; 94.4% did match with PTCD.

Accuracy in clinical diagnosis is good with a thorough understanding of physical characteristics of lid mass lesions. Studies on a large scale would be extremely beneficial for the practicing ophthalmologists and the training residents and also for public health-care planning.
Bilateral ptosis with ophthalmoplegia externa in paediatric onset multiple sclerosis: A case report
Authors: Singh Dheerendra , Singh Manisha
Published: February 2023

Paediatric onset multiple sclerosis (POMS) patients usually present with a diminution of vision pertaining to optic neuritis and experience a more aggressive disease onset with disabling clinical symptoms, a polyfocal presentation at disease onset, and a higher relapse rate early in the disease course. We are reporting a unique presentation of bilateral ptosis with external ophthalmoplegia in a patient of a 17-year-old female patient who came with chief complaint of drooping of lids in both eyes for 3 years. Complete ophthalmic and systemic examination was done. Patient was diagnosed as MS according to the revised Mcdonald criteria and was given Methylprednisolone Pulse therapy. We concluded that acquired bilateral ptosis with ophthalmoplegia externa should be given special attention to rule out systemic associations. Timely diagnosis and early management of multiple sclerosis in the pediatric age group with DMT may reduce relapse frequency and functional disability.
Is there discrimination against children of same-sex households? Evidence from an experimental study in Colombia
Authors: Cantet Natalia , Feld Brian , Hernández Mónica
Published: February 2023

We measure the extent of discrimination against same-sex couples by schools in Colombia using a matched-pair correspondence study. We send requests to visit private schools from several couples of different sexual orientation as conveyed by the names of the parents. We track the response rate from schools, the time to reply and the quality of the reply. We find that schools are 12 percentage points (22.3%) less likely to respond to a request sent by a homosexual couple with respect to one sent by a heterosexual one. When no information about sexual orientation is provided, the response rate decreases by 20pp. (37%) versus an explicitly heterosexual couple. Conditional on replying, we find no difference in the time schools take to respond or the quality of the reply across couples, a result plausibly driven by selection into responding. Our findings suggest that, despite a strong legal framework that protects LGBTQ rights, discrimination against same-sex couples is pervasive and can have intergenerational consequences.
A Comparative Analysis of Palatal Ruga Patterns among Gorkha and North-East Indian Population
Authors: Choube Amolika , Gopi Anup , Astekar Madhusudan , Choube Anukool
Published: February 2023

Background: Palatal rugae are resistant to changes due to trauma or aging. Ruga patterns, being unique to each individual, are valuable for personal identification. The study aims to assess the applicability of palatoscopy for differentiation amongst North-east Indians and Gorkhas in India. Materials and Methods: Sample comprised a total of 100 subjects divided into two groups of 50 each for Gorkha (Group I) and North-east Indian (Group II) population. Alginate impressions were made and models were obtained. Data was recorded after tracing palatal rugae on models. Analysis of rugae for number, side- wise distribution, shape, length, and direction was undertaken. Statistical analysis was carried out and probability value was obtained. Results: After analyzing the rugae patterns in both the groups, total number of rugae was more in Group I as compared to Group II. Total number of rugae on right and left sides each was more in Group I than in Group II. The curved pattern was found to be predominant in both groups. Divergent rugae were predominant in both groups. Maximum rugae were primary and were forwardly directed. Statistical analysis revealed no significant differences between groups for parameters assessed. Conclusion: Palatoscopy independently was not able to differentiate between individuals of the two test populations. Palatoscopy may assist in the identification process in conjunction with cheiloscopy and intraoral photography. Palatoscopy, on the account of its stability and easy reproducibility, should be encouraged among dentists for maintenance of patient records for forensic identification.

Authors: Kour Spinder , Neeraj Grover  , Nishant Singh
Published: February 2023

Aim: The purpose of our study was to investigate and find the association of dental anomalies with the dermatoglyphic pattern within three regional populations of India. Methods: The present study included 600 subjects. 200 from each population were selected randomly and examined for dental anomalies and their dermatoglyphic patterns were recorded. Statistical Analysis Used: The study was analyzed by a chi-square test. Results: One dental anomaly was consistently noted in all three populations. Out of 600 subjects, 40.8% had positional anomalies. Shoveling, congenitally missing teeth, and winging were seen significantly in North-Eastern (23.0%), Jammu & Kashmir (5%), and Western Uttar Pradesh (6%) population groups in order. The most common dermatoglyphic pattern seen in all three populations was an ulnar loop. Significant relation between shoveling and whorl pattern was seen in the North-Eastern population. The presence of rotation was significantly more among subjects with a whorl pattern. Conclusion: The study concluded that dermatoglyphics can be used as an indicator of few dental anomalies. It can help in identifying the gender, race of an unidentified person, and various diseases which are correlated with dental anomalies that can be detected earlier.

Introduction: Accidental ingestion of caustic substances can cause serious damage to the digestive system. This study was conducted with the aim of investigating the incidence of esophageal stricture within one year after accidental ingestion of caustic substances and its relationship with the first endoscopic findings in children.
Methods: The present study was a retrospective and cross-sectional study that has been conducted for 3 years on children with accidental ingestion of caustic substances referred to Shahid Sadoughi Hospital in Yazd City (August 2015-2015). Demographic information, type and amount of ingested material, initial symptoms, initial endoscopic findings and degree of esophageal tissue burn were recorded and the patients were followed up for one year. Finally, the data were analyzed by SPSS version 22 software.
Results: In this study, 55 children were evaluated, their average age was 3.19 years. Participants consisted of 23 (41.8%) girls and 32 (58.2%) boys. Children had ingested pipe openers chemicals (30.9%), bleach liquid (29.1%) and  hydrochloric acid (12.7%), respectively. Initial endoscopic findings were normal in 45.5% of children, and the most damage was grade IIb and IIa. The incidence rate of esophageal stricture in month later was 47.3%, and in the year later, the total incidence of stricture and GOO was 27.3% (16.4% of esophageal stricture and 7.3% of stricture and GOO).
Conclusion: The present study showed that esophageal injury following the accidental ingestion of caustic substances is common in children, and the presence of symptoms in the patients at the beginning of the visit can be associated with higher grade injuries, and the occurrence of stricture is more common after severe injuries.
Philosophical Dimension of Today’s Educational Technologies: Framing Ethical Landscape of the Smart Education Domain
Authors: Mykhailov Dmytro
Published: February 2023

Although smart education is one of the most rapidly expanding technological practices nowadays, we still don’t know much about the consequences that new educational technologies might have on the future generation of learners. While smart education is often used as an ‘umbrella term’ which covers a wide variety of different trends and approaches in today’s education, it seems useful to narrow the definition of this term before going deeper into the ethical analysis of smart education more in general. Considering this fact, the present paper claims that the smart education domain consists of three main components, namely, smart pedagogy, smart learning, and smart educational technologies. Keeping this in mind in what follows I propose a description of the ethical problems from every component. In the case of smart pedagogy, I emphasize the issue of new responsibilities and new competencies that come with novel digital technologies. In the case of smart learning, I am showing how big data and AI solutions might raise significant privacy issues. Finally, in relation to smart educational technologies, I focus on AI adaptive educational systems which might provide highly personalized educational solutions. Although AI adaptive educational systems can strongly improve the efficiency and interactivity of the learning experience this technological system might also lead to unpredicted consequences related to students’ attention and other cognitive and metacognitive abilities. The present paper also stands in a deep relation to current discussion in contemporary philosophy of technology by questioning the ethical nature of the current digital artifacts. According to many contemporary philosophies of technology digital artifacts such as computer, AI systems and smartphones are not morally neutral. On the contrary, these digital technologies are actively changing our moral behavior, transform our responsibilities and ethical navigation more in general. As I am going to show in the present paper, digital technologies from the domain of smart education are not an exclusion.

It is revealed that the highest growth factor of the luminescence intensity is observed in CdS QDs without a shell. A mechanism has been formulated that affects the luminescent properties of CdS QDs and nanostructures of CdS / ZnS QDs during storage.

SPECTROSCOPY AND DYNAMICS OF NONLINEAR PROCESSES IN RELATIVISTIC BACKWARD-WAVE TUBE WITH ACCOUNTING FOR EFFECTS OF SPACE CHARGE, DISSIPATION AND WAVE REFLECTIONS
Authors: Tsudik A. V. , Glushkov A. V.
Published: February 2023

An effective universal, approach to solving the problems of quantitative modelling and analysis of the fundamental characteristics of spectroscopy and dynamics of the nonlinear processes in relativistic microwave electronics devices, in particular, a relativistic backward wave tube (RBWT) has been developed and implemented. It has been performed modelling, analysis, and prediction of chaotic dynamics of RBWT with simultaneous consideration of not only relativistic effects, but also the effects of dissipation, presence of space charge, wave reflections at the ends of the decelerating system, etc in a wide range of changes at different values of control parameters, which are characteristic for the distributed relativistic electron-wave self-oscillating systems. From physical viewpoint the transition to chaos in the dynamics of the studied RBWT occurs according to the scenario everywhere in the sequence of period-doubling bifurcations, but with the growth of relativism, the dynamics become fundamentally complicated with the alternation of quasi-harmonic and chaotic regimes (including the appearance of the "beak" effect on the bifurcation diagram) and the transition everywhere intermittency to the high-D attractor.
RELATIVISTIC ENERGY APPROACH TO ATOMIC SYSTEMS IN A STRONG ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD IN PLASMAS
Authors: Kuznetsova A. A. , Glushkov A. V.
Published: February 2023

The fundamentals of a consistent relativistic approach to determination of radiation and spectral characteristics of the atomic systems (atoms, multicharged ions in plasmas conditions) in a strong external electromagnetic field (EMF), which is based on a relativistic energy formalism (REA) (adiabatic Gell-Mann and Low formalism) and relativistic many-body perturbation theory (RMBPT) formalism for atomic systems in a plasmas are presented. Within an energy approach in relativistic approximation the Gell-Mann and Low formula expresses the imaginary part of an atomic level energy shift E through the QED scattering matrix, which includes an interaction as with an EMF as with the photon vacuum field (spontaneous radiative decay). It results in possibility of an uniform simultaneous consideration of spontaneous and (or) induced, radiative processes and their interference. The radiation atomic lines position and shape fully determine a spectroscopy of the plasmas atomic systems in an EMF. The effective modified technique, based on the Ivanova-Ivanov method of differential equations, for computing the infinite sums in expressions for a spectral line shifts and broadening is shortly described. The fundamentals of a formalism of the relativistic gauge-invariant RMBPT with the optimized Dirac-Kohn-Sham (DKS) and Debye-Hückel zeroth approximations are presented.

Published: February 2023

The relativistic theory of radiative transitions using the general relativistic quantum defect approximation (GDA) was also used to study the wavelengths and oscillator strengths for the 1s22s (2S1/2) → 1s23p (2P1/2) transitions in Li-like multicharged ions with a nuclear charge Z= 14-70. and. The obtained results were compared with available theoretical and experimental (summarized) data. An important point is related to the accurate accounting of the complex contributions of the exchange-correlation (polarization) effect and the use of an efficient single-quasi-particle representation based on the general relativistic approximation of the quantum defect, which significantly ensures a physically reasonable agreement between the theory and the experiment.

Published: February 2023

It is presented a new effective method of calculating the energy and spectral parameters of diatomic molecules based on the hybrid theory of the quasi-particle density functional and the theory of Green's functions. As an illustration, the data of the calculation of the vertical ionization potentials and the coupling constants (vibrational structure) of the photoelectron spectra of a number of diatomic molecules, in particular, N2, are received. It is presented a detailed comparison of the received results with the data of standard theories of the Hartree-Fock type, the multi-configuration electron propagator method, and the extended theory based on Koopmans' theorem using multi-configurational self-consistent field wave functions with different sets of basis functions. Iit is shown that the consistent, maximally precise consideration of exchange-correlation effects and reorganization effects within the framework of the combined theory leads to a rather significant improvement in the agreement of theoretical and experimental data both in terms of ionization potentials and photoelectron spectra in general.
Techniki konwersyjne w najnowszej prozie polskiej. Próba antropotechnicznego modelu interpretacji
Authors: Bielawa Jacek
Published: February 2023

Nawiązując do koncepcji technik Siebie Michela Foucaulta i antropotechniki Petera Sloterdijka, w artykule przedstawiono propozycję modelu interpretacji literackich zjawisk konwersyjnych. Perspektywa „antropotechniczna” nie wyklucza umieszczania doświadczenia konwersji podmiotu w kontekstach metafizycznych, lecz w wielu przypadkach pozwala przekroczyć religijny horyzont lektury, umożliwiając uwzględnienie szerszego niż w przypadku postsekularyzmu spektrum zjawisk literackich. Wykorzystując wspomniany model, procesy konwersji ukazano na przykładzie kilku współczesnych (wydanych po 2009 roku) polskich utworów prozatorskich, w szczególności dokonując poszerzonej interpretacji powieści Pióropusz Mariana Pilota. U podstaw wewnętrznej przemiany bohaterów tych narracji stoi doświadczenie ograniczoności i utraty.
„Zatem czysta chłopska krew?”. O splocie klasy i „rasy” w Wirach Henryka Sienkiewicza
Authors: Ryś Paweł Wiktor
Published: February 2023

Artykuł podejmuje problematykę urasowienia podziałów społecznych w Wirach Henryka Sienkiewicza, wpisując się z jednej strony w krytyczny namysł nad kategorią „rasy”, z drugiej we współczesne polskie dyskusje nad chłopskością/plebejskością. W tekście dowodzi się, że stosunek pisarza do omawianych kwestii naznaczony jest swoistą dychotomią, która odpowiada niejako dwóm głównym wątkom powieści: romansowemu i rewolucyjnemu. O ile bowiem w wątku romansowym podział na „dobre” – szlacheckie i „złe” – chłopskie instynkty, krew, „rasę” zostaje podważony, o tyle w wątku rewolucyjnym istotną rolę odgrywa, przybierająca formy rasizmu klasowego, dehumanizacja socjalistów oraz mas.

Artykuł recenzyjny dotyczy publikacji Anny Nosek „Co dać dziecku na gwiazdkę?” Studia nad kulturą czytelniczą i krytyką literatury dla młodych odbiorców w XIX wieku (Kraków 2021). Wskazano, że publikacja ta to potrzebny, syntetyczny opis miejsca i roli książki w pojmowaniu ludzi epoki, dokonany przez badaczkę od lat zajmującą się literaturą dla dzieci i młodzieży. Doceniono wnikliwość autorki, zwłaszcza fragmenty poświęcone ustaleniu modelu XIX-wiecznej dobrej książki dla małego odbiorcy. Uwagi krytyczne dotyczą natomiast m.in. ogólnikowości i nieostrości używanej przez badaczkę frazy „dla młodych odbiorców”.
