A complete twelve-gene deletion null mutant reveals that cyclic di-GMP is a global regulator of phase-transition and host colonization in Erwinia amylovora
Authors: Kharadi Roshni R. , Selbmann Kayla , Sundin George W.
Published: August 2022

Cyclic-di-GMP (c-di-GMP) is an essential bacterial second messenger that regulates biofilm formation and pathogenicity. To study the global regulatory effect of individual components of the c-di-GMP metabolic system, we deleted all 12 diguanylate cyclase (dgc) and phosphodiesterase (pde)-encoding genes in E. amylovora Ea1189 (Ea1189Δ12). Ea1189Δ12 was impaired in surface attachment due to a transcriptional dysregulation of the type IV pilus and the flagellar filament. A transcriptomic analysis of surface-exposed WT Ea1189 and Ea1189Δ12 cells indicated that genes involved in metabolism, appendage generation and global transcriptional/post-transcriptional regulation were differentially regulated in Ea1189Δ12. Biofilm formation was regulated by all 5 Dgcs, whereas type III secretion and disease development were differentially regulated by specific Dgcs. A comparative transcriptomic analysis of Ea1189Δ8 (lacks all five enzymatically active dgc and 3 pde genes) against Ea1189Δ8 expressing specific dgcs, revealed the presence of a dual modality of spatial and global regulatory frameworks in the c-di-GMP signaling network.
Sounds like money? Stock music, television and Donald Trump
Authors: Huelin Toby , Durand Júlia
Published: August 2022

Library music (also known as ‘stock’ or ‘production’ music) plays an important role in the depiction of Donald Trump in media productions, be it to cast him as a bold political hero, a glamorous millionaire, an authoritarian ruler or a clownish character. The various facets of Trump’s public brand are reflected in library music catalogues: tracks tagged with the keyword ‘Trump’ highlight, for example, his notoriety as business tycoon and host of reality show The Apprentice, or his candidacy and mandate as the 45th US president. In this article, we draw together original qualitative library music data with a close reading of specific television case studies to examine two main research areas. Firstly, how is Trump represented in library music catalogues, and what does this reveal about popular perceptions of him? Secondly, which library music tracks are used in media content about Trump? Where are the ‘Trump’-tagged tracks used in television, and what other kinds of library music are used in series about this president? This article explores the musical strategies which were deployed to depict Trump’s mandate and its political upheavals, and, more broadly, reappraises library music as a vital – yet underexplored – element in the construction of audio-visual meaning.
Gutter politics: Graphic novels in the age of Trump
Authors: Gruner Oliver
Published: August 2022

This article explores the ways in which US graphic novels have responded to, narrated and politically framed the Trump presidency. Analysing a generically diverse range of texts from non-fiction to science fiction, I argue that comics artists were quick to mobilize the medium’s unique qualities in the service of ideological critique. The article offers a detailed account of how publications such asSabrina(2018),The Hard Tomorrow(2019),LaGuardia(2019) andWelcome to theNew World(2020) were developed, shaped and reshaped against the backdrop of Donald Trump’s election victory and presidential term. Through an assortment of formal and stylistic devices – spatial and temporal jumps and juxtapositions afforded by panel arrangement, a weaving together of historical and contemporaneous iconography, the interplay of various textual cues and registers – these graphic novels offered complex portrayals of the impact of Trump and ‘Trumpism’ on various individuals, groups and communities. In different ways, they evidence the medium’s ability to intervene in wider political discourse, construct challenging historical and speculative narratives and offer fresh, resonant engagements with pressing issues of the day.
Arquitetura do Livro

Published: August 2022

Ao procurarmos uma possível relação entre a tipografia e a arquitetura, pudemos verificar que a «composição», que se traduz nas ações de planear, edificar e ornar segundo as regras e as proporções convenientes, é uma arte e um ofício que, do ponto de vista conceptual, o tipógrafo e o arquiteto partilham. Para desvendar esta teoria, nada melhor que tentarmos aferir quais as regras e os princípios que estiveram na génese desta lógica partilha.

Este volumen recoge una selección de los trabajos presentados en el
Encuentro en línea ELEUK 2021 celebrado los días 9, 10 y 11 de junio de
2021. Para aquellos que lean este prólogo desde el futuro y se pregunten por
qué es esta la segunda publicación basada en las comunicaciones de unas
conferencias anuales, cuando las primeras fueron en el 2019, la razón es
sencilla, la pandemia mundial que hemos sufrido y que no nos permitió
realizar nuestro Encuentro anual en el año 2020. Estaba todo preparado,
tanto la universidad donde se iba a celebrar, los ponentes que iban a
ofrecer conferencias plenarias como las comunicaciones y talleres que los
participantes iban a presentar. Sin embargo, una situación inesperada y para
la que ninguno de nosotros estaba preparado hizo que el mundo se detuviera,
como si de una imagen congelada se tratara, pero con la terrible realidad de
los fallecidos por la pandemia que nos hacía ver cuan real y frágil era todo
aquello que nos rodeaba. Así pues, frente a esa terrible realidad tuvimos
que adaptarnos lo más rápido posible a las nuevas circunstancias y
enfrentarnos a las duras realidades, una de ellas, el tener que cancelar
nuestro encuentro presencial de un día para el otro.
Creencias y actitudes lingüísticas de estudiantes universitarios de ELE
en Reino Unido hacia las variedades dialectales del español europeo: ceceo,
seseo y distinción
Authors: Saborido Beltrán Mario
Published: August 2022

Este proyecto de investigación en curso tiene como objetivo principal
analizar las creencias y las actitudes lingüísticas actuales de estudiantes
universitarios de español como lengua extranjera (ELE) hacia las variedades
dialectales del español europeo (el andaluz, el canario y la variedad
centro-norte peninsular), además de fenómenos lingüísticos como el ceceo, el
seseo y la distinción. Los objetivos específicos son: (1) analizar las
creencias y actitudes lingüísticas hacia las variedades peninsulares, según
criterios afectivos y cognitivos, estatus social y características
personales; (2) examinar las creencias y actitudes lingüísticas hacia
fenómenos fonéticos característicos del español, como el ceceo, el seseo y
la distinción; y (3) estudiar las creencias y actitudes lingüísticas hacia
la adecuación de diferentes formas de pronunciar para aprender español. En
este artículo se explica el diseño y la metodología de investigación
adoptada, desarrollada principalmente por el Proyecto para el estudio de las
creencias y actitudes hacia las variedades del español en el siglo XXI
(PRECAVES-XXI). Del mismo modo, se presentan las herramientas de recogida de
datos, así como un análisis de los primeros resultados, obtenidos en un
estudio piloto. Por último, concluimos con una reflexión sobre el impacto
que puede llegar a tener este proyecto de investigación en la enseñanza y el
aprendizaje de ELE, tanto dentro del contexto educativo del Reino Unido como
a nivel internacional.
Educación sostenible: respondiendo a la diversidad dentro y fuera del
aula de español
Authors: Arribas-Tomé Marián
Published: August 2022

Para abordar los desafíos en la enseñanza del español y otros idiomas en
el Reino Unido, sostenemos que es muy importante que los profesores aspiren
a desarrollar recursos educativos de acceso abierto. Crear nuestros propios
materiales y compartirlos con otros profesores facilitaría una respuesta
ágil, colaborativa y solidaria a las necesidades del aula. También haría
posible que hubiera una mayor cantidad y variedad de materiales destinados a
promover el aprendizaje y la reflexión sobre la sostenibilidad y la
descolonización en el contexto de la enseñanza de lenguas. Estas son
premisas derivadas de la experiencia trabajando con estudiantes de español
en una universidad del Reino Unido, un reto que implica una oportunidad de
aprender desde y sobre la diversidad y darle respuesta. Las pedagogías
antirracistas que apoyan la diversidad requieren un enfoque inclusivo,
creativo y adaptativo y una amplia colección de material actualizado
periódicamente. Los contextos de enseñanza de idiomas deben poder captar
ágilmente los debates y los acontecimientos sociales, políticos, científicos
y ambientales del día a día más allá de los límites convencionales, a menudo
establecidos por los libros de texto que se utilizan. Los profesores de
idiomas podemos ser vectores de transformación haciendo posible una mejor
representación de determinadas comunidades y de sus problemas, normalmente
apenas visibles. Con instrumentos adecuados, esa enseñanza que valora la
sostenibilidad y la descolonización puede ir más allá de nuestras aulas.
Spanish Bytes, una plataforma digital abierta con una agenda flexible e
inclusiva, creada por la autora de este trabajo, se propone como un espacio
adecuado para el desarrollo de contenidos que respondan de forma oportuna a
la diversidad en el aula y en el mundo hispanohablante. Con el fin de
ilustrar su utilidad y relevancia, se presentan algunos ejemplos de rediseño
de contenidos, derivados de reflexiones y lecturas que exploran la
diversidad en sus múltiples dimensiones, con recursos en los que la
descolonización, la sostenibilidad y las contribuciones de los estudiantes
son dimensiones importantes del trabajo. Usaremos estos ejemplos como base
para perfilar una enseñanza de lenguas que pueda verdaderamente considerarse
sostenible.
Promoting adults’ knowledge for engaging young children with numerical activities.
Authors: Levenson Esther , Barkai Ruthi , Tsamir Pessia , Tirosh Dina
Published: August 2022

Considering that young children spend a great deal of time outside of school, there is a need to increase the expertise of adults when it comes to engaging young children with numerical activities. This study presents the Cognitive Affective Mathematics Adult Education framework used to design such a course for interested adults. Focusing on promoting young children’s competency for comparing sets, we illustrate how the framework was used to design the course and how the framework was used to analyze the impact of the course on the relevant expertise of the participating adults. The findings indicated that the adults had gained knowledge in the various strategies one can use to compare sets, had become aware of the importance of evaluating those strategies, and had acquired the ability to take the children’s ages and abilities into account when tailoring activities that engage them with set comparisons.

“Consciousness in Its Own Self Provides Its Own Standard”. Hegel and the Spirit as a Process of Thinking
Authors: Waibel Violetta L.
Published: August 2022

Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit develops not only the idea of absolute knowledge but also the notion of an inner criterion [Maßstab] of the spirit. The inner criterion or norm of knowledge is what, in the end of the speculative process, appears as the form of absolute knowledge. Experience and inner criterion are responsible for the development of the consciousness that has to become itself. Becoming and absolute, temporality and timelessness are the substance that becomes and is subject. The actuality of this method of analysis of spirit will be shown and discussed in this essay.
On the relative extraction rates of colour compounds and caffeine during brewing, an investigation of tea over time and temperature
Authors: Araslanova Kristina , Nastos Jessica M. , Sommerfeld Jakub , Megill William , Struck Alexander , Shirtcliffe Neil J.
Published: August 2022

Various beliefs are common about the extraction of soluble compounds from leaf tea, suggesting that cold brewed tea or tea brewed for a shorter time than usual may contain a higher polyphenol-to-caffeine ratio, a selling point due to the potential health benefits of polyphenolic compounds. To test these beliefs, we investigated the effect of brewing time and temperature on the colour intensity and caffeine content of the extract of one type of black tea. Results showed that the extraction of the two components of interest had different half-lives, with an initial large variation of the ratio between them rapidly reaching a quite constant value. At different temperatures, a significantly different ratio between caffeine and colour compounds was observed. Although the difference in relative concentration was small, the range of brewing temperatures tested was only 20 Kelvin, so it seems possible to increase this difference. A difference in total extraction efficiency of both components together was noted too. To effectively change the ratio of the components using the extraction time would require using accurate times of less than 3 minutes and accurate temperatures unusual in a home environment.
On solving pseudomonotone equilibrium problems via two new extragradient-type methods under convex constraints
Authors: Khunpanuk Chainarong , Pakkaranang Nuttapol , Pholasa Nattawut
Published: August 2022

The primary objective of this study is to develop two new proximal-type algorithms for solving equilibrium problems in real Hilbert space. Both new algorithms are analogous to the well-known two-step extragradient algorithm for solving the variational inequality problem in Hilbert spaces. The proposed iterative algorithms use a new step size rule based on local bifunction information instead of the line search technique. Two weak convergence theorems for both algorithms are well-established by letting mild conditions. The main results are used to solve the fixed point and variational inequality problems. Finally, we present several computational experiments to demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.
Deutsche Waffenexporte nach Mexiko. Heckler & Koch – ein Fall organisationaler Devianz?
Authors: Dauner Dominik
Published: August 2022

Das deutsche Rüstungsunternehmen Heckler & Koch lieferte zwischen 2006 und 2009 auf Grundlage erschlichener Genehmigungen tausende Waffen nach Mexiko. Hierfür reichten Mitarbeitende des Unternehmens als unrichtig erkannte Endverbleibserklärungen bei den deutschen Behörden ein. Die vorliegende Arbeit stellt die Frage, wie sich diese deviante Praxis erklären lässt und prüft die Hypothese, dass es sich dabei um einen Fall organisationaler Devianz handelt. Über qualitative Inhaltsanalysen von Dokumenten werden zunächst Strukturdaten erhoben, welche für ein Vorliegen organisationaler Devianz sprechen. Anhand der Mechanismen der Institutionalisierung organisationaler Devianz wird im Anschluss dargelegt, wie sich diese Strukturdaten in die kollektive Anerkennung informeller Deutungs- und Handlungsregeln übersetzt haben könnten. Abschließend zeigt sich, dass der untersuchte Fall nicht durch eine Form individueller, sondern durch organisationale Devianz erklärt werden kann.

El proyecto de creación del Estado del Centro, 1870
Authors: Mares Centeno Evelin
Published: August 2022

El 21 de julio de 1870 los principales vecinos de la ciudad de León y el cabildo, emprendieron las gestiones necesarias para crear una nueva entidad federativa que llevaría el nombre de Estado del Centro, la cual estaría compuesta por ayuntamientos de los estados de Jalisco  y Guanajuato. A pesar de que se trató de un proyecto político que se llevó a cabo en un momento en el que se estaba reconfigurando la geografía política del país, y de que contaba con los requisitos que solicitaba la Constitución de 1857, no logró consolidarse. Sin embargo, su estudio permite acercarse a conocer el proceso de configuración política del territorio.

When and Where Do People Regulate Their Emotions? Patterns of Emotion Regulation in Unselected and Socially Anxious Young Adults
Authors: Ladis Ilana , Daros Alexander R. , Boukhechba Mehdi , Daniel Katharine E. , Chow Philip I. , Beltzer Miranda L. , Barnes Laura E. , Teachman Bethany A.
Published: August 2022

Introduction: The current studies examined how smartphone-assessed contextual features (i.e., location, time-of-day, social situation, and affect) contribute to the relative likelihood of emotion regulation strategy endorsement in daily life. Methods: Emotion regulation strategy endorsement and concurrent contextual features were assessed either passively (e.g., via GPS coordinates) or via self-report among unselected (Study 1: N = 112; duration = 2 weeks) and socially anxious (Study 2: N = 106; duration = 5 weeks) young adults. Results: An analysis of 2,891 (Study 1) and 12,289 (Study 2) mobile phone survey responses indicated small differences in rates of emotion regulation strategy endorsement across location (e.g., home vs. work/education settings), time-of-day (e.g., afternoon vs. evening), time-of-week (i.e., weekdays vs. weekends) and social context (e.g., with others vs. alone). However, emotion regulation patterns differed markedly depending on the set of emotion regulation strategies examined, which likely partly explains some inconsistent results across the studies. Also, many observed effects were no longer significant after accounting for state affect in the models. Discussion: Results demonstrate how contextual information collected with relatively low (or no) participant burden can add to our understanding of emotion regulation in daily life, yet it is important to consider state affect alongside other contextual features when drawing conclusions about how people regulate their emotions.
Desirable Biases: Self-Enhancement Is Seen as Biased and Bad, Other-Enhancement Is Seen as Biased but Good
Authors: Mata André , Amaral João
Published: August 2022

People who describe themselves as better than others are evaluated negatively, particularly when such self-enhancement is perceived as biased. This research replicates this finding, but it shows the opposite pattern for other-enhancement. People making flattering descriptions of their relatives and loved ones were seen as biased but likeable, whereas people who did not do so were seen as more realistic but less likeable. Critically, the enhancement of other people only inspired favorable impressions when it was perceived as sincere (i.e., true in the eyes of the enhancer). Moreover, and in line with an attributional account, the fewer people shared that assessment, the more it was perceived to reveal about the enhancer and how much they liked the target of the enhancement. This research suggests a nuanced version of the role of bias perception in impression formation, whereby biased appraisals are expected in certain domains, and they can inspire favorable impressions.
Being Watched by God Versus a Third Person: Which Agent Lowers the Perceived Likelihood of Immoral Behaviors?
Authors: Tepe Beyza , Karakulak Arzu
Published: August 2022

With three experimental studies using data from young adults living in a highly religious context, namely Turkey (N = 483), the current research examines how being watched by a third person versus God affects the perceived likelihood ratings of harmful versus impure immoral behaviors. We hypothesized that respondents would expect others to more strongly refrain from acting immorally when they believed they were being watched by God compared to a third person, and that this effect would be more pronounced for impure compared to harmful moral transgressions. The God condition was perceived as more effective than the third-person surveillance condition when immoral behaviors were harmful. However, for severe impure transgressions, neither surveillance condition was perceived as effective. We discuss our findings in light of contemporary morality research, outline the role of possible cultural and individual-level boundary conditions, and highlight the scientific and practical contributions of our research to the field.
Infographics in social media. Selected issues
Authors:   Pedagogical University of Krakow, Poland, Sroka Elżbieta
Published: August 2022

Technological progress and changes in the lives of contemporary humans have led to a situation in which traditional forms of transferring information by means of text have become too slow, as it takes recipients more time to learn the content of such messages. Researchers emphasise that humans acquire graphic messages better than text. For this reason, presenting information in the form of infographics has become a popular method. The purpose of this article is to present the issue of infographics, including: definitions, types of infographics, and using infographics in different areas of life. An example of their wide use are social media. Based on this example, research was conducted using a searching technique, the purpose being to verify infographics in selected social media. The results of the research allow to acquire information about infographics in terms of popularity in a selected period, scope of topics in infographics and information about sectors and specialists who share infographics in social media most often.
Boosting students' creativity through visual bricolage of experiences - how visual collage boards help students in expressing their knowledge during online classes
Authors:   Kozminski University, Poland, Sońta Monika
Published: August 2022

The objective of this study is to present various practical applications of collage-based methods (visual bricolage) as a way of boosting creative discussions with students and helping them to express their knowledge and experience using visual representation. This viewpoint paper is based on the experience of twenty classes conducted with the MA program and postgraduate students at Kozminski University between March 2019 and December 2021, when online whiteboards and visual metaphors were used. The method used was participative observation, as the author also acted as the workshop facilitator. To observe the user’s action, the contribution tracking tool that is available on the mural whiteboard (Mural, n.d.) was activated. The explorations during the workshops revealed two elements of online classes: Conceptualization vs Illustration, to determine whether photos and pictures serve as an instrumental illustration in the background of the story, or they are important elements that convey the sense of the students’ statements. Moreover, the paper contains various practical findings that help to facilitate creative educational workshops remotely.
Understanding the declared knowledge and readiness to apply Corporate Social Responsibility of Polish and Spanish business students
Authors:   University of Lodz, Poland, Syper-Jędrzejak Marzena , Ulrych Wojciech ,   University of Lodz, Poland, Oltra Victor ,   University of Valencia, Spain
Published: August 2022

The purpose of this paper is to compare two groups of business students from Poland and Spain regarding their declared knowledge and readiness to apply the principles of corporate social responsibility (CSR). The research was conducted in 2018 among students of two selected universities: the Faculty of Management at the University of Lodz in Poland (UL) and the Faculty of Economics at the University of Valencia (UV). A literature review was performed to compare the CSR education programs at both faculties and to investigate students’ opinions about CSR. The Chi2 independence test was used to find any statistical differences between the two researched groups. In total, 607 students took part in the study. The findings revealed that UV students declare themselves to be better prepared than UL students to make sufficient CSR-based employment decisions. It was also found that UV students more frequently declared a readiness to take CSR measures such as encouraging the company's management to take an interest in CSR, or to personally promote CSR activities in the company. UV students also declared a willingness to work in a company guided by CSR values and activities even for lower remuneration. The findings may be affected by social as well as economic contextual factors and they make it possible to formulate concrete recommendations on how to improve students' awareness of CSR ideas.
Atmospheric forcing and photo-acclimation of phytoplankton fall blooms in Hudson Bay
Authors: Barbedo Lucas , Bélanger Simon , Lukovich Jennifer V. , Myers Paul G. , Tremblay Jean-Éric
Published: August 2022

Pulses of ocean primary productivity during the fall season are frequent in the mid-latitudes when ocean cooling and wind-driven turbulence erode the surface stratification and allow the injection of nutrients into the euphotic zone. This phenomenon is often referred to as a phytoplankton fall bloom, and can play an essential role in the survival of marine species during winter. In Hudson Bay, we found that pelagic fall blooms are triggered when the convective mixing, forced mainly by atmospheric cooling and to a lesser extent to wind-driven turbulence, expands the mixed layer, ventilates the pycnocline, and likely erodes the nitracline. Ocean color observations were used to assess the seasonal variability of phytoplankton photo-acclimation state from the ratio of phytoplankton carbon (Cphy) to chlorophyll-a concentration ([chla]). Cphy was estimated using the satellite-derived particulate backscattering coefficient (bbp) after subtraction of the non-algal backscattering background. We found a systematic increase in Cphy and Cphy:[chla] from mid-summer to fall season indicating that fall blooms are potentially productive in term of organic carbon fixation.

Mapping of enviromental pollution of air in Lviv
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Sohor A. R. , Zazuliak P. M. ,   Lviv Polytechnic National University
Published: August 2022

The condition and composition of air in Lviv are influenced by two main factors: the introduction of pollutants into the atmosphere through various sources and harmful physical effects on it. The latter includes radiation, sound vibrations, noise, and so on. These and other factors disrupt the optimal conditions of the air, which negatively affects human health and the condition and development of animals and plants. The main sources of pollutants in the air of Lviv are as follows: dust — vehicles, woodworking and building materials industry; sulfur dioxide — industrial enterprises, carbon monoxide — vehicles, thermal power plants; nitrogen dioxide — heat power companies; formaldehyde — motor transport, woodworking industry. Today, emissions from mobile sources are the biggest air pollutants in the city. The chemical composition of emissions from mobile sources of pollution is characterized by the predominance of carbon monoxide (up to 74 %), nitrogen compounds, and hydrocarbons (12 % and 11 %, respectively). Today the state of atmospheric air in large cities of Ukraine and, in particular, in the city of Lviv is at an unsatisfactory level. The main problems in this area are the progressive nature of the negative impact on the ecological state of the environment and human health. As there is currently no interactive cartographic material that can visualize the problem of environmental pollution, the main purpose of this work was to create an interactive web map of the quality of life of the population of Lviv in terms of air pollution. To achieve this goal, we collected and systematized geospatial statistical cartographic materials on the ecological conditions of the air in Lviv. The necessary software for the development of an interactive map of air pollution has been selected, and its possibilities have been studied. An algorithm for loading geospatial data into the created web resource has been developed. A template of applications for creating web maps of air pollution in Lviv was selected according to the indicators of 2020, which were measured at 30 crossroads of the city. Thus, two interactive web maps of air pollution in Lviv were developed in the environment «Google My Maps» and «ArcGIS Online».
MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH IN OPHTHALMOPEDIATRIC PRACTICE – ACTUAL STATE AND OPPORTUNITIES
Authors: Dimitrova K.
Published: August 2022

World experience shows the importance of screening for early detection of visual impairments in childhood. Timely detection and correction of the visual problem are a condition for normal physical and psychological development, socialization and good quality of life. The care over children’s eye health in Bulgaria is responsibility of the GP’s and pediatricians. The process of prophylaxis of children’s vision requires a multidisciplinary approach with participation of various specialists, every one with a specific role.
PURPOSE: The aim of current study is to survey the opinion of ophthalmologists about conducting activities for prevention of children's eye health by a multidisciplinary team.
METHODS: Sociological and statistical methods have been applied. An empirical sociological study was conducted for the period October 2020 - March 2021. The study is aimed at 50 ophthalmologists from medical institutions for inpatient and outpatient care in the region of Varna.
RESULTS: The majority of ophthalmologists (64%) have a positive attitude towards preventive activities by a multidisciplinary team. They state high confidence in competence (78%) and assess the professional multifunctionality (56%) of the other specialists of children’s eye health in the team.
CONCLUSION: The research confirms the need for a multidisciplinary approach and clear team roles. Ophthalmologists demonstrate a positive attitude towards conducting activities for the prevention of children's eye health by a multidisciplinary team of specialists. They express trust and share an opinion on the wide range of functions that nurses, medical opticians and optometrists can perform in the team.

Most often foreign bodies in the respiratory tract occur in children under 4 y.о. They represent 80% of cases. Twice as often in boys. In 65% of cases, foreign bodies are food particles. 50% of them are accounted for: peanuts, walnuts, hazelnuts, chickpeas, and sunflower seeds.
Methods: The author demonstrates a case of an unusual foreign body in the upper airway in a 2 y.o. child. He presented at ENT Clinic in the University Hospital of Stara Zagora with sudden paroxysms of coughing and difficulty swallowing, which started during hugging his mom.
Results: It was performed an X-ray examination and visualized an object with a metal consistency that corresponded to a safety pin.
Immediately was realized pediatric and anesthesiologist consultation and the patient was taken to the operating theatre and under general anesthesia, the foreign body was removed.
Conclusions: Aspiration of foreign bodies in the airways is accompanied by dramatic moments and often fatal and it is still a serious problem in Otorhinolaryngological and pediatric practice. This imposes the serious need to strengthen preventive actions in this direction by increasing the consumer culture of the people.
A CASE OF SINO-NASAL MALIGNANT MELANOMA
Authors: Vlaykov At. , Valkanov St.
Published: August 2022

Mucosal melanomas are rare malignant neoplastic disease, that originates from melanocytes in mucosal tissue. It is a tumor mass of the nasal cavity or paranasal sinuses and most commonly originates from the nasal septum, nasal turbinates, or lateral wall and rarely occurs in the floor and roof of the nasal cavity. Most people with nasal cavity melanomas present with atypical nasal symptoms.
The authors demonstrate the clinical manifestation and the therapeutic process of a 65 y.o. patient with malignant melanoma in the sino-nasal region.

O romance mediúnico (espírita e espiritualista) é sempre heterossexual?
Authors: Rossi Emerson
Published: August 2022

O objetivo deste texto é revisitar e disponibilizar os resultados de uma pesquisa exploratória que descreveu e analisou as representações sociais da homossexualidade, em dois romances mediúnicos – espírita e espiritualista - que têm essa orientação sexual como tema. Para realizar este trabalho os romances foram lidos sob uma perspectiva etnográfica, foi constituído um diário com uma síntese de cada capítulo, os perfis dos personagens e trechos relevantes, que depois tiveram seu conteúdo interpretado sob os conceitos de representação social e aleturgia ensaiados, respectivamente, por Howard S. Becker em Falando da sociedade e por Michel Foucault em O governo dos vivos.
Up-regulation of Osh6 boosts an anti-aging membrane trafficking pathway toward vacuoles

Published: August 2022

Members of the family of oxysterol-binding proteins mediate non-vesicular lipid transport between membranes and contribute to longevity in different manners. We previously found that a 2-fold up-regulation of Osh6, one of seven yeast oxysterol-binding proteins, remedies vacuolar morphology defects in mid-aged cells, partly down-regulates the target of rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1), and increases the replicative lifespan. At the molecular level, Osh6 transports phosphatidylserine (PS) and phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PI4P) between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the plasma membrane (PM). To decipher how an ER-PM working protein controls vacuolar morphology, we tested genetic interactions between OSH6 and DRS2, whose protein flips PS from the lumen to the cytosolic side of the Golgi, the organelle between ER and vacuoles in many pathways. Up-regulated OSH6 complemented vacuolar morphology of drs2∆ and enriched PI4P on the Golgi, indicating that Osh6 also works on the Golgi. This altered PI4P-enrichment led to a delay in the secretion of the proton ATPase Pma1 to the PM and a rerouting of Pma1 to vacuoles in a manner dependent on the trans-Golgi network (TGN) to late endosome (LE) trafficking pathway. Since the TGN-LE pathway controls endosomal and vacuolar TORC1, it may be the anti-aging pathway boosted by up-regulated Osh6.

Uncertainties of the results of quantitative determinations in gas chromatography using the methods based on the absolute peak areas (including the external standard method) are rather “sensitive” to the reproducibility of injections. The effective way to compensate for such errors is to introduce the additional standards into the samples, followed by replacing the absolute peak areas by their ratios to peak areas of the standards. It is important to underline that any constituents of the samples can be used as additional standards, including the solvents. Solvents can be used for these purposes even if the heights of their peaks are restric­ted when the analytical signals exceed the amplifier limits. Using the relative peak areas does not require any extra sample processing besides the registration of peak areas for solvents. Comparing the commonly known and modified methods of external stan­dard demonstrates that using the relative peak areas instead of the absolute ones does not influence the overall precision of determinations (according to the criterion “intro­duced-determined”) but improve the reproducibility by 2-3 times. The problem of increasing the reliability of such statistical evaluations of results is discussed and to solve it, it is proposed to change the “design” of the experiments. Instead of series of successive analyses of similar origin samples, the use of parallel determinations is preferable. This can be realized, for example, during the fulfillment of student’s practical works.
The institution of deaconesses in the tradition of the Armenian Apostolic Church
Authors: Kazaryan G. S.
Published: August 2022

The article presents the main points on the history of the institution of deaconesses in the Armenian Apostolic Church. While the testimonies to the Armenian deaconesses date back to the 10th century, the analysis of these fragmentary passages raises various problems of textual and content-related character. The institution of deaconesses reached its peak in the 19th century, being associated with monastic circles. In the 20th century, with the disappearance of a small number of Armenian women’s convents, the institution declined, although today there are some local efforts to re-establish diaconal service of women in the parish life.
The destiny of several female monastic communities in the South of Russia after the Revolution of 1917
Authors: Ageev E. A.
Published: August 2022

The article provides an overview of the history of some women’s monasteries in the South of Russia in the first post-revolutionary years. The conclusion is made about the organizational and economic stability of the women’s communities. The destruction of the monastic households and the nun`s communities themselves occurred as a result of the targeted efforts of local Soviet authorities, and sometimes even direct repression. However, separate groups of nuns in many places continued their religious life and influence on the population until the 1980s. The phenomenon of women’s monastic communities in Russia in the 20th century requires further comprehensive study.
Beirut schools of the Imperial Orthodox Palestine Society (1887-1914): a religious and political project of M. A. Cherkasova (based on materials from Archive of the Foreign Policy of the Russian Empire)
Authors: Fedotov P. V.
Published: August 2022

The article examines the phenomenon of Maria Alexandrovna Cherkasova, the founder and permanent head of the Beirut schools of the Imperial Orthodox Palestine Society in 1887-1914. This woman implemented a project in which educational activities were organically combined with religion and feminism. The main message of M. A. Cherkasova is “a man and a woman are equal in the eyes of God.” High level of intelligence, deep religiosity, intolerance to hypocrisy and formalism, willingness to fight uncompromisingly for their ideals allowed M. A. Cherkasova will become one of the recognized leaders of the Beirut Orthodox community. Acting “for the Glory of God,” M. A. Cherkasova clashed with influential men: N. M. Anichkov, curator of Imperial Orthodox Palestine Society educational institutions, inspectors, Russian consuls in Beirut, Arab Selim Shkhade.

The article is based on a study of a large number of unpublished sources stored in six files of the RIPPO Foundation from the Archive of Foreign Policy of the Russian Empire. Of the greatest interest is a long letter from M. A. Cherkasova addressed to the chairman of the society, Elizabeth Fedorovna: a kind of confession, a “cry of the soul”, a final story about the activities of Beirut schools, as well as an alternative history of the activities of the Imperial Orthodox Palestine Society in the Middle East. The subjective opinion of M. A. Cherkasova is balanced by the assessments of other Imperial Orthodox Palestine Society employees: teachers A. S. Dubenskaya and A. F. Klementovskaya, inspector M. M. Nikanorov, as well as N. M. Anichkov and Elizaveta Fedorovna.

The study of a large number of unique, previously unpublished documents makes it possible to make a psychologically reliable portrait of M. A. Cherkasova and objectively assess her achievements.
