Die Auswirkung des Persuasionswissens auf die Glaubwürdigkeit von Präventionsbotschaften in Instagram-Video-Storys
Authors: Kaup Stefanie
Published: October 2023

Die wahrgenommene Quellenglaubwürdigkeit ist ein Erfolgsfaktor von Gesundheitsbotschaften in Social Media. Besonders Eigenschaften der kommunizierenden Person sowie die Art und Weise der Botschaftsvermittlung gelten als relevante Einflussgrössen der Glaubwürdigkeit. Basierend darauf untersucht diese experimentelle Studie für den Bereich der Verkehrssicherheit, ob Expert:innen oder fachfremde Influencer:innen glaubwürdiger wahrgenommen werden, wenn sie das Fahrradhelmtragen in einer Instagram-Video-Story mithilfe einer emotionalen Geschichte oder mit Fakten bewerben. Vor dem Hintergrund des Persuasion Knowledge Models wird überprüft, inwieweit sich die Bewertung der Glaubwürdigkeit verändert, wenn die Rezipierenden einen Beeinflussungsversuch vermuten. Es wurde ein 3 (Kommunikator-Typ: Expertin Polizistin vs. Expertin Ärztin vs. fachfremde Influencerin) x 2 (Botschaftsappell: emotional vs. rational) between-subject Design entwickelt. An der Online-Befragung nahmen 540 Frauen im Alter von 14 bis 30 Jahren teil. Die Untersuchung zeigt, dass die Probandinnen Expertinnen besonders bei der Vermittlung von Fakten glaubwürdiger finden als die fachfremde Influencerin. Darüber hinaus schätzen die Probandinnen die Glaubwürdigkeit aller Kommunikatorinnen geringer ein, wenn sie einen Beeinflussungsversuch vermuten. Besonders die Influencerin wird kritisch bewertet. Es wird angenommen, dass Rezipierende ihr Persuasionswissen besonders dann aktivieren, wenn sie keine intrinsische Motivation der Quelle erkennen. Aufbauend auf den Erkenntnissen dieser Studie werden Handlungsempfehlungen für die praktische Verkehrssicherheitsarbeit in Social Media abgeleitet und weiterer Forschungsbedarf identifiziert.

A Method of Evaluating the Destruction of a Reinforced Concrete Hollow Core Slab for Ensuring Fire Resistance
Authors: Sidnei Stanislav , Nuianzin Vitalii , Kostenko Tetiana , Berezovskyi Andrii , Wąsik Wiktor
Published: October 2023

Fire tests of reinforced concrete floor slabs do not allow the detection of the onset of the boundary state due to loss of entirety because blocks are installed on the unheated surface to reproduce the design load. This prevents the formation of cracks through which toxic combustion products, smoke, and temperature spread can penetrate. Determining a building structure’s actual fire resistance limit was fixed at the onset of any fire resistance boundary state. It was proven that calculation methods for fire resistance assessment have significant advantages over experimental methods. To reduce the number of finite elements for a rational calculation of the fire resistance assessment of a reinforced concrete hollow core slab, a geometric model of 1/4 of this structure was built. The possibility of visualizing the studied structure at full scale was realized when obtaining the calculation results. The stress-strain state of the studied structure was evaluated based on the thermal and mechanical loading results applied to the reinforced concrete hollow core slab. Thus, the work’s objective was achieved based on the calculation experiments’ results. A methodology was developed for calculating the destruction of a reinforced concrete hollow core slab while assessing its fire resistance. Scientific fundamentals for determining the onset of the boundary state of loss of entirety were developed. The proposed methodology allowed for a reliable assessment of the fire resistance of such structures.
Роль лейкоцитов в формировании нейтрофильных внеклеточных ловушек и тромбообразовании при Ph-негативных миелопролиферативных новообразованиях (обзор литературы)

Thrombotic complications often cause death in patients with chronic Ph-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). In spite of numerous studies, the pathogenesis of thrombus formation in MPN patients remains unclear. Its mechanism is complex and is determined by many factors. One of the essential phases in thrombogenesis is characterized by the activation of cell mechanisms and formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). NETs consist of DNA strands, histones, granular proteins and along with pathogen destruction provide an ideal matrix for platelet and clotting mechanism activation.

Aim. To generate anti-PD-L1 CAR-T effectors carrying extracellular domain PD-1 as antigen-recognizing site and to study their cytolytic activity as well as to functionally assess the anti-PD-L1 CAR-T effectors in vitro with a view to apply them in multi-targeted tumor therapy.

Materials & Methods. Chimeric antigen receptor PD-1 was constructed using molecular cloning of PD-1 antigen-recognizing region (12–170 amino acids) into mammalian expression plasmid vector adding activation and co-stimulatory domains. Primary Т-lymphocytes of healthy donor peripheral blood mononuclear fraction were derived by expanding monoclonal antibody combination on surface markers CD3/CD28. Anti-PD-L1 CAR-T effectors were obtained by lentiviral transduction of primary T-lymphocyte genome of a healthy donor. Chimeric antigen receptor PD-1 expression and transduction efficiency were assessed by flow cytofluorometry. Specific cytotoxicity of the anti-PD-L1 CAR-T effectors was analyzed in vitro by means of real-time cytotoxicity assay (RTCA) with HeLa_PD-L1 target cell line co-cultivation. The level of cytokines IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, IFN-γ, and IL-17A was assessed by flow cytofluorometry using Human Th1/Th2/Th17 CBA Kit (BD, USA).

Results. The efficiency of lentiviral transduction and the proportion of the anti-PD-L1 CAR-T effectors were 42 %. The specificity of cytotoxic response of the anti-PD-L1 CAR-T effectors with a low effector/tumor ratio (1:20) was verified during HeLa_PD-L1 co-cultivation by a 1.5-fold decrease in the cell index (CI = 0.738) versus control (CI = 1.0645). The increase in synthesis of cytokines IL-2 (1000 pg/mL), IL-6 (438.5 pg/mL), TNF-α (44 pg/mL), and IFN-γ (1034 pg/mL) during HeLa_PD-L1 target cell line co-cultivation confirms the functionality of the analyzed effector cells.

Conclusion. Anti-PD-L1 chimeric antigen receptor was constructed and tested in vitro. Anti-PD-L1 CAR-T lymphocytes specifically recognize and promote the cytolysis of tumor target cells by increased secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-2. Chimeric antigen receptor PD-1 can be modified into chimeric switch receptor (CSR) by deleting CD3ζ-domain and can be used together with other CARs without predicted non-specific toxicity.

Aim. To compare the expression levels of the WNT family genes in mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) of the bone marrow (BM) hematopoietic niche in multiple myeloma (MM) patients vs. healthy donors.

Materials & Methods. The study enrolled 12 MM patients aged 49–71 years (the median age 61 years) after standard induction bortezomib therapy. The treatment efficacy was assessed in accordance with the criteria of International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG). Patients were stratified in groups with complete and partial response (CPR; group 1, n = 9) and no response (group 2, n = 3). Besides, a group of primary untreated patients was formed (n = 2). The control group included healthy donors of BM (n = 3). The levels of the WNT and CTNNB1 gene expression were assessed by real-time PCR on cDNA isolated from MSC.

Results. In the group of 2 primary patients, two genes (WNT2B and WNT9B) considerably differed in the degree of expression. In non-responders (n = 3), the WNT2B expression could not be determined, whereas the WNT15 expression appeared to be increased. In group CPR (n = 9), mRNA level of the WNT5A gene increased after therapy, whereas the WNT3A gene expression returned to the normal level. The WNT7B gene transcription level did not differ in the control and comparison groups. In group CPR, a significant expression increase in the β-catenin-coding CTNNB1 gene was detected.

Conclusion. The differences identified in the expression of the WNT2B, WNT9B, and CTNNB1 genes suggest the possibility of their use as prognostic molecular markers in MM.

Aim. To assess the stability of clinical remission in patients with primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) after withdrawal of thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TPO-RAs).

Materials & Methods. The study enrolled 456 patients with primary ITP who received second- and subsequent-line TPO-RA treatment. Complete platelet response (PR) was achieved in 338 patients, the therapy was discontinued in 116 of them. The present prospective clinical study started in 2014 and focused on the data of these 116 patients. Among them, there were 27 (23 %) men and 89 (77 %) women. By the time of TPO-RA therapy onset, the median age of the patients was 60 years (range 13–87 years), on ITP diagnosis date it was 52 years (range 1–80 years).

Results. By the time of data analysis, 59 % of patients sustained PR after TPO-RA withdrawal. The median PR duration after TPO-RA withdrawal was 230 weeks. Romiplostim and eltrombopag recipients showed no significant differences in the survival rates without PR-loss after TPO-RA withdrawal. In the present study, the maximum PR duration achieved 9.5 years. The mid-term assessment of PR status was carried out in 3, 6, 12, 24, and 30 months after TPO-RA withdrawal and showed 99 %, 94 %, 83 %, 72 %, and 70 %, respectively. The number of previous therapy lines significantly affected the survival rates without PR-loss (p = 0.011). The age of patients, prior splenectomy, TPO-RA treatment duration, time to different PR levels on therapy, PR duration on TPO-RA therapy, and platelet count upon TPO-RA withdrawal showed no significant effect on this parameter. After PR-loss, TPO-RAs were administered again to 31 (27 %) patients. Repeated PR was achieved in 26 (84 %) of them.

Conclusion. TPO-RA administration yields multi-year off-treatment remission in some patients with primary ITP. Upon therapy discontinuation, 59 % of patients with complete PR sustained PR for 3 months to 9.5 years. Stable PR after TPO-RA withdrawal significantly correlated with only one of the studied prognostic parameters, i.e., the number of previous therapy lines.
Solving the problem of optimizing fishing activities
Authors: Lisienko S. V. , Ivanko N. S.
Published: October 2023

A model for optimal planning of fishing activities has been proposed. It includes the formation of a biological component (a set of fishing objects considered taking into account their distribution over fishing zones) and a technological component (a set of fishing vessels and fishing technologies). On the basis of these two components, the technological chain "field object – production vessel – production technology" is formed. For each type of fishing vessel, it is permissible to use a certain type (or several types) of fishing technologies that are directly related to fishing objects, their catch can be carried out only using a certain production technology. Particular attention in the model is given to the problem of determining the optimal quantitative composition of the production fleet. The optimization criterion is the minimization of the costs associated with the fishing activities of specialized vessels, provided that the specified volumes of catch are achieved. The costs are directly related to the types of vessels used, fuel costs depending on the vessel's home port and the time required for loading and unloading operations. In the optimization problem, estimates of the weighted average daily catch and fishing time are used to account for most of the costs associated with the extraction of aquatic biological resources. The optimization algorithm is considered on the example of the Commander squid (Berryteuthis magister) in the North Kuril zone. In the area under consideration, squid production is carried out using trawl technology. The main types of vessels engaged in squid harvesting are large-capacity and medium-capacity vessels.
Dos cuestiones bélicas en Chile colonial (XVI-XVII). Un acercamiento a la guerra como fenómeno cultural y sus efectos a nivel comercial
Authors: Mendoza-Manotas María Angélica del Mar , Sartori Mateo
Published: October 2023

El artículo tiene el propósito de evidenciar dos grandes cuestiones de la época colonial chilena: en primer lugar, la guerra como un fenómeno cultural que impacta los procesos históricos y, en segundo lugar, cómo los aspectos económicos de dicho periodo están conectados con dinámicas de trabajo y relaciones de comercio que se dieron en el territorio de la Araucanía. Se expone que la agudización de acciones bélicas entre conquistadores e indígenas durante la expansión de la dominación española en el territorio representa una parte esencial de la historiografía de Chile. La investigación toma fuentes primarias, tales como crónicas y relatos de los primeros soldados de las huestes conquistadoras, para luego rastrear, desde fuentes secundarias del siglo XX, tres conceptos que envuelven esta temática: guerra, cultura y fenómeno. El trabajo se enmarca en la guerra de Arauco, un enfrentamiento que no solo buscó cumplir las demandas de la Corona para el control territorial, sino instalar un nuevo comercio que transformara la sociedad. En definitiva, se observa la incidencia de una estructura comercial que aglutinó tanto las formas indígenas como las españolas, lo que dio lugar a un sistema agrícola y un comercio de frontera que sirvieron como soporte en estas circunstancias.
HABITAÇÃO, ESTADO E ECONOMIA POLÍTICA E/NA SEMIPERIFERIA
Authors: Tulumello Simone
Published: October 2023

Neste ensaio, defendo uma economia política da habitação, assente em uma perspetiva de geografia histórica, como instrumento para reconsiderar as trajetórias de longo prazo dos regimes de habitação na Europa do Sul (Portugal, Espanha, Itália, Grécia). Afastando-me das tradicionais linhas de análise dos estudos comparativos, centrados na procura dos carateres que diferenciam os vários regimes, centro a atenção sobre a construção relacional dos contextos regionais do ponto de vista do desenvolvimento desigual, com especial atenção às dinâmicas de financeirização da habitação. Ao considerar a trajetória de contextos semiperiféricos europeus e focar a atenção no papel do estado na promoção da habitação como um campo para atração de investimentos, pretendo oferecer alguns instrumentos epistemológicos e concetuais para pensar a habitação relacional e comparativamente à escala global.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the haematological and biochemical parameters of dogs submitted to different levels of inclusion of mealworm meal (0, 2.5, 5 and 7.5%) in their diet. Four adult females aged 5 years, castrated, with an average weight of 15.8 kg were used. A Latin square design was used, with 4 treatments and 4 replications. The base diets were calculated based on the NRC and provided in the proportion of 80% dry food and 20% wet food. The animals were dewormed, clinically evaluated and adapted to the base diet for 10 days prior to the insertion of me. After fitting, blood was collected for evaluation of haematological and biochemical parameters. The experimental period of each treatment was 14 days, with a new blood collection on the 15th day, with the animals in the fasted state. The blood parameters evaluated were blood count and biochemical tests, composed of urea, creatinine, alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, cholesterol, total proteins and their fractions, glucose, triglycerides, C-reactive protein, fibrinogen and immunoglobulin E. The data obtained were subjected to multiple analysis of variance at the 5% significance level. The results showed that none of the mealworm protein inclusion levels showed blood alterations. Therefore, it can be concluded that the use of mealworm meal did not harm the health of the animals tested in experiment, showing that it can be an alternative protein source and can be safely included up to a level of 7.5% in dog foods.

Whole Genome Sequencing in Era of Newborn Screening
Authors: Rudowski Sydney , Boerkoel Cornelius , He Miao , Kanungo Shibani
Published: October 2023

After the completion of the human genome project, there have been many advances in the field of genetics. With next generation sequencing, patients can undergo genomic analysis through whole exome or whole genome testing. These comprehensive tests can shorten the diagnostic odyssey and guide medical management and thereby potentially reduce mortality and morbidity. To date, parents and physicians have reported positive perceptions of using these genomic testing even when a diagnosis is not made. Remaining challenges include reimbursement, access to testing and trained genetics professionals, and overall healthcare costs. Despite these challenges, potential role of genomic sequencing being incorporated into newborn screening due to its diagnostic yield and clinical utility seems plausible. This article reviews whole exome and whole genome sequencing use within neonatal and pediatric settings and provides a perspective for the future potential of whole genomic sequencing in newborn screening in the United States.
Association Between Clinician-Level Factors and Patient Outcomes in Virtual and In-Person Outpatient Treatment for Substance Use Disorders: Multilevel Analysis
Authors: Welsh Justine W , Sitar Siara I , Parks Michael J , Patton Samantha C , Braughton Jacqueline E , Waller Lance A , Ngo Quyen M
Published: October 2023

Background

The use of virtual treatment services increased dramatically during the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, large-scale research on virtual treatment for substance use disorder (SUD), including factors that may influence outcomes, has not advanced with the rapidly changing landscape.

Objective

This study aims to evaluate the link between clinician-level factors and patient outcomes in populations receiving virtual and in-person intensive outpatient services.

Methods

Data came from patients (n=1410) treated in a virtual intensive outpatient program (VIOP) and an in-person intensive outpatient program (IOP), who were discharged between January 2020 and March 2021 from a national treatment organization. Patient data were nested by treatment providers (n=58) examining associations with no-shows and discharge with staff approval. Empathy, comfort with technology, perceived stress, resistance to change, and demographic covariates were examined at the clinician level.

Results

The VIOP (β=–5.71; P=.03) and the personal distress subscale measure (β=–6.31; P=.003) were negatively associated with the percentage of no-shows. The VIOP was positively associated with discharges with staff approval (odds ratio [OR] 2.38, 95% CI 1.50-3.76). Clinician scores on perspective taking (β=–9.22; P=.02), personal distress (β=–9.44; P=.02), and male clinician gender (β=–6.43; P=.04) were negatively associated with in-person no-shows. Patient load was positively associated with discharge with staff approval (OR 1.04, 95% CI 1.02-1.06).

Conclusions

Overall, patients in the VIOP had fewer no-shows and a higher rate of successful discharge. Few clinician-level characteristics were significantly associated with patient outcomes. Further research is necessary to understand the relationships among factors such as clinician gender, patient load, personal distress, and patient retention.

Heritage site-seeing through the visitor’s lens on Instagram
Authors: Loke Tania , Teramoto Yayoi , Camargo Chico Q. , Eccles Kathryn
Published: October 2023

English Heritage is a charity that manages over 400 historic sites in the UK, from prehistoric sites to medieval castles, most of them free, non-ticketed, and unstaffed. As such, there is little information about visitor attendance and behaviour in those sites—a challenge common to other non-ticketed heritage sites. In this context, image-based social media such as Instagram appear as a possible solution, as photographs are often central to the tourist experience, and tourists present their imagined audiences with a self-narrative of their trip. Therefore, this study aims to improve our understanding of tourist behaviour in unstaffed heritage sites by analysing publicly available Instagram data. We collect posts on unstaffed English Heritage sites, finding that posting activity concentrates at a few sites. Focusing on 3,979 images each for the top five sites, we analyse image content using pre-trained object detection models. Besides off-the-shelf inference, we fine-tune a model to identify structures from particular heritage sites, and are able to describe the types of photographs taken by visitors in each site, supporting the notion of tourists as performers with the site serving as backdrop. Overall, this study demonstrates a methodology for understanding cultural behaviour at heritage sites using images from social media posts. In addition to recovering the otherwise lost connection between a heritage organisation and its visitors, our methodology can be readily extended to other tourist destinations to understand how visitors interact with and relate to these sites and the objects within them through their photographs.

Abstract: This research paper focuses on studying how structures with different cantilever projections (1m, 1.25m, and 1.5m) behave during seismic events in different seismic zones. The analysis is conducted for both 5-story and 10-story buildings, following the guidelines provided in IS 1893 (Part 1):2016. The static method is used to assess various parameters, including story drift, frequency and time period in ETABS software. By examining these factors, we can better understand how these structures perform under seismic forces.
Experiment on Concrete by Adding Steel Fibers and Plastic Waste to Reduce Environmental Issues and Adding Strength to Concrete
Authors: Nadigatla Naveen Kumar
Published: October 2023

Abstract: Concrete is the most commonly used material for construction in civil engineering. The project involves the proposed concrete which is made up of adding plastic in concrete may help to reuse the plastic as one of the constituent material of concrete. Due to rapid industrialization the amount of use and decomposition of plastic has increased. If we are able to utilize this waste under proper conditions as addition to concrete it will reduce the plastic waste up to some extent. By adding the steel fibers to the above mix it will increase the compressive strength of the concrete. M40 grade concrete is used in the whole procedure. Here, we used 4 different percentages of plastic waste (i.e., 0.6%, 1.2%, 1.8%, and 2.4%) of weight of cement and by taking quantity of steel fiber as constant (i.e., 2%) of weight of cement, and the aspect ratio of steel fibers is 60. The concrete cube of size 150mm×150mm ×150mm are prepared and tested at 3days, 7days, 14days and 28 days. The resulting data has been analyzed and compared with controlled specimens.

Authors: Anas M. , Faisol Faisol , Astuti Puji
Published: October 2023

Purpose: The purpose of this essay is to look into how Public Accounting Company (PAC) link important factors like Audit Tenure, Company Size, and Financial Distress with Audit Report Lag. We delve further to comprehend how PAC mediates this link and whether its impact is considerable in shortening the delay for filing audit reports.
Method/approach: The population of this study consists of operating in the mining industry companies registered on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2015 to 2022. The sampling method used is purposive sampling method. The samples were obtained by 19 manufacturing companies. There were 152 observations made over 8 years. The data analysis used was panel regression analysis which was moderated by using the random effect model approach.
Findings: The analysis's findings indicate that Public Accounting Company (PAC) is significantly involved in mediating the association between financial distress and audit report lag, but that PAC is not significantly involved in mediating the relationship between business size and audit tenure and audit report lag.
Implications: According to the findings, it is essential for a Public Accounting Company (PAC) to be involved in the audit process when a company is in financial trouble. In order to keep the audit report lag under control during financially difficult times, PACs appear to be quite important. This emphasises how crucial skilled auditors are in identifying and resolving any financial problems that can develop in struggling businesses.
Originality/value: This publication presents originality in uncovering the innovative role of Public Accounting Company (PAC) as mediators that link the Audit Tenure, Company Size and Financial Distress variables with Audit Report Lag. This research explores how the complex interactions between these variables impact delays in audit report submission. The findings highlight that PAC is not only the implementing audit entity, but also plays an important role in controlling the timing of preparation and submission of audit reports. These findings provide new insights into the dynamics of auditing and management decisions in the context of corporate financial uncertainty

Published: October 2023

Purpose: This paper aims to analyze credit in the Indonesian banking construction sector empirically. Specifically, we examine whether economic conditions affect construction sector credit and how the response and diversity of construction sector credit in the face of economic shocks.
Methodology/approach: This article use monthly data on Indonesian banking credit from 2004 to 2022 using the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM).
Findings: The long-term effects of the economy on credit are shown by the results of the VECM research. The Impulse Response Function (IRF) results indicate that credit in the construction industry has both positive and negative effects. Forecast Error Variance Decomposition (FEVD) analysis shows that gross domestic product, crises, industrial price index, interest rates, exchange rates, and inflation affect credit diversity.
Practical implications: Banking credit is an essential component in meeting company needs. Banks need to consider several things in the distribution of credit to the construction sector, especially those that impact the long term.
Originality/value: This research provides a better understanding of how the construction sector credit can be affected by changing economic conditions, and how diverse credit responses and policies are in the face of such shocks.

Around Mary Shelley and “Frankenstein”: Dolls, Robots, Automata
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Golubkov Andrey V.
Published: October 2023

The article is an introduction to the collective monograph which was conceived as a selection of papers from the international conference “Dolls, Automata, Robots: An Artificial Body in the World of Intellectual and Artistic Culture (to the 200th Anniversary of the Publication of Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus”)” held on December 5–7, 2018 at the Gorky Institute of World Literature (Russian Academy of Sciences) and the HSE University (Moscow, Russia). The article aims at comprehending the artificial body status in world culture, both artistic and scientific, across different geographical areas from antiquity to the present day: the paradoxical demand for and resilience of this phenomenon in different cultures; the motifs and themes it has generated; and the psychological, ontological, aesthetic and ethical rationales behind this topos, as embodied in artistic representations (in literature, painting, sculpture and cinema) of the artificial human and/or animal body, that stem from the scientific discourse. The article also describes the structure of the monograph: 29 collected papers are divided into four chapters: “Statues / Dolls: Passion and the Sacred”, “Androids / Machines: Between Myth and Science”, “Robots / Automata: Will and Violence”, “Cyborgs / Avatars: Augmented and Decorated Body”. The papers explore a variety of cultures from East (Japan, Korea) to West (the USA) including Africa, Russia, Western and Eastern Europe.
The Rise of the Dolls: Paradoxical Anthropology in “Wondersmith” by Fitz James O’Brien
Authors:   Saint Petersburg University of Economics, Lipinskaya Anastasia A.
Published: October 2023

The article deals with “Wondersmith”, a novella by Fitz James O’Brien, clearly a transitional text within the Gothic tradition. The author partially draws materisl from stories by Poe and Hoffmann, uses a variety of literary models and allusions. The story is based on a complex system of oppositions (living vs. artificial, human vs. animal etc.) partially following the Romantic tradition, partially anticipates ghost stories of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. As a result, the text is somewhat eclectic and excess, but the ‛seams’ help to see how the author reworks European tradition in an attempt to create something new. The value of “Wondersmith” for a historian lies in the very fact that it visibly demonstrates the dynamics of literary forms, the transition from a romantic fairy tale to a ghost story.
Dolls, Items and Statues in the System of Images of H.C. Andersen’s Fairy Tales
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Korovin Andrey V.
Published: October 2023

The article deals with fairy tales by Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen, which worldwide known as a creator of the classical form of literary fairy tale. His fairy tales are addressed both to children and adults and as a result of it they have the complex arrangement on the levels of ideas and structure of text. One of the distinguishing features of Andersen’s poetics is the vesting of inanimate images with human qualities; this feature was a real innovation in the genre of literary fairy tale of that time. Dolls, items and sculptures become an essential part of the system of images, determine the specifics of the chronotope in Andersen’s fairy tales. In different texts, they embody different aspects of human existence: inanimate images correlate with the unnatural, artificial and symbolize the dehumanization of being (“The Swineherd”, “The Nightingale”); on the other hand, the world of inanimate items can be associated with the best qualities of the world of people: love, fidelity, art, etc. (“The Steadfast Tin Soldier”, “Psyche”). In the satirical fairy tales, which are a special part of Andersen’s masteries, the world of dolls and items appears to be a parody of human relations (“The Money Pig”, “The Puppet-show Man”). As a result of our research, we claim that dolls, items and statues, belonged to the inanimate world, take the qualities of the living, to specify clearer the boundaries of the human world in the opposition to other spaces, which is comparable with the principles of romantic duality.
The Origins of the Mechanics and the Machine of Desire: Personification of Polytheism, Phantom of the Enlightenment, Illusion of Modernity
Authors:   National Research Technological University “MISIS”, Panov Sergey V.
Published: October 2023

Ancient culture is the cradle of mechanics and machines of desire, organization of the external nature and the internal human nature. Aestheticization of reality originates from polytheism, which identified the sources of human desires with transcendent impulses, thereby representing a human being as an impulsive automaton producing affects and reactions. The highly reactive consciousness of both archaic and contemporary cultures tends to be guided by language stimuli. Language is understood here as a complex of unconscious perception, thinking and behavioral habits, in which Martin Heidegger, Ludwig Wittgenstein and speech act theorists sought answers to the philosophical question about man. While ancient culture (Ovid) approached language as “faded mythology”, a harmonious unity of finite and infinite intuitions, the Enlightenment undertakes an experimental transfer, treating nature as an eternal evolution of forms. Goethe conceives the end of the Enlightenment project, one of his guiding principles being that the unconscious should be regarded as a symbol, an undiscovered unity in the instinctive development of reactive consciousness. Vitalism (perception of affective data) and the unconscious (anticipation of human nature perfection) guide the development of natural proclivities and specific personality traits in the process of sensory, reflexive and moral self-exploration. In post-Romantic culture, machines of desire (Charles Baudelaire, Jorge Luis Borges) have been increasingly transformed into instinctive programs of spontaneous perception and action, the symbolic aspect being removed from the writer’s vision. Postmodern literature (Borges), in particular, brings machines of desire to their own limit by contemplating the original infinity of numerical variations and combinations prior to and beyond any finite imaginary body.
The “Spectrum of Corporeality” in Japanese Buddhist Sculpture
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Vaneian Elizaveta S.
Published: October 2023

This paper examines, based on concrete examples, ways in which the artificial bodies of Japanese Buddhist sculptures have been created and explores the relevant background ideas and assumptions. Particular “bodies” of Japanese sculpture can be associated, to a lesser or greater extent, with the understanding of the human body; however, in certain aspects they constitute their own reality. These variations create what I have called “the spectrum of corporeality” in Japanese Buddhist sculpture. Specifically, I review ways in which statues have been empowered as sacred objects and approximated to real beings that have their own bodies. In addition, I discuss the cult of monk mummies (whole-body relics) and the religious processions in which people “play” bodhisattvas. At first sight, the last two phenomena seem to be unrelated to sculpture, but I have tried to show a direct connection between them. Having united and combined various ideas and techniques in my discussion on “the spectrum of corporeality”, I use concrete examples from the history of Japanese Buddhist sculpture. Being an overview of practices and phenomena that have been well researched separately, this paper contributes to the existing historiography on the ontology of Buddhist imagery.
