Autorka analizuje drugi tom projektu literackiego Byli 90-ch pt. Epoha lihoj svjatosti (Rzeczywiste historie 90-ch: „Czasów się nie wybiera…”) pod red. wybitnej pisarki rosyjskiej Aleksandry Marininy. Projekt zawiera wspomnienia ludzi, przeważnie niezwiązanych z pisarstwem, będących świadkami przemian w Rosji ostatniej dekady XX wieku. Autorka artykułu zwraca uwagę na symboliczne znaczenie tytułu tomu, w którym można dostrzec trzy pary opozycji semantycznych, jak również na stylistykę i elementy gatunkowe opowiadań. Cechy codzienności są przedstawione w trzech kontekstach: percepcji czasu, przestrzeni realnej i symbolicznej, cases studies. Analiza tekstu odbywa się w ramach bloków tematycznych zatytułowanych następująco: chleb powszedni, totalny handel, duchowe poszukiwania, wiatr wolności (szczęśliwa dekada), zniknięcie kraju.
ОТНОШЕНИЕ МИХАИЛА ПРИШВИНА К ИДЕОЛОГИИ
Authors: Szubin Roman
Published: April 2021

Статья затрагивает проблему отношения русского писателя Михаила Михайловича Пришвина (1873–1954) к социалистической идеологии. Анализируются дневники писателя за период с 1920 по 1954 год. Предлагается периодизация создания концепции «единого человека», коррелирующей с общественными явлениями. Показана динамика отношения Пришвина к идеологии от полного отрицания до попыток освоения социализма. Особо подчеркиваются мотивы коллективизации и инфантилизма в качестве основных черт советского человека. Автор обращает внимание на тот факт, что социализм и фашизм (нацизм) глубоко родственны.
ZBĘDBY CZŁOWIEK I MAŁY CZŁOWIEK W ROSYJSKIEJ LITERATURZE ХХI WIEKU
Authors: Radosz Joanna Krystyna
Published: April 2021

Wskutek gwałtownych przemian społecznych po rozpadzie Związku Radzieckiego pojawiła się potrzeba ukazania nowego bohatera literackiego, z którym mogliby się utożsamiać czytelnicy. Brak nowych modeli ogólnorosyjskiej postaci spowodował, że rosyjscy pisarze sięgnęli po doskonale znane wzorce z przeszłości. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest analiza głównych bohaterów dwóch powieści-manifestów początku XXI wieku – Generation ‘P’ W. Pielewina i Duchless S. Minajewa pod kątem obecności cech charakterystycznych dla zbędnego oraz małego człowieka. Obie kategorie postaci typowych dla XIX-wiecznej literatury rosyjskiej zostały częściowo dostosowane do współczesnej mentalności oraz współczesnych warunków życia.
«НЕЧИСТАЯ СИЛА» В ПОЛИТИЧЕСКОЙ КАРИКАТУРЕ: ПРАГМАТИЧЕСКИЙ АСПЕКТ
Authors: Sładkiewicz Żanna
Published: April 2021

Статья посвящена трансформациям базовых образов восточнославянской демонографии – Бабы-Яги, Кощея Бессмертного и Змея Горыныча – в современном публичном дискурсе. Адекватное «прочтение» политической карикатуры коррелирует с наличием экстралингвистической, политической, логической и лингвистической пресуппозиций. Мифологические и сказочные образы оказались весьма востребованными в современном публичном коммуникативном пространстве. Обращение авторов именно к этим образам обусловлено, в первую очередь их высокой культурной значимостью для социума, высокой «узнаваемостью» данного культурного продукта, а также богатым прагмакоммуникативным потенциалом самих образов.
Z DZIEJÓW ROSYJSKIEJ EMIGRACJI W POLSCE MIĘDZYWOJENNEJ: EUGENIA WEBER-CHIRIAKOWA
Authors: Krycka-Michnowska Iwona
Published: April 2021

W artykule poddano krytycznej analizie poglądy na emigrację rosyjską pisarki i publicystki Jewgienii Weber-Chiriakowej w oparciu o jej artykuły zamieszczone w warszawskiej gazecie „Za Svobodu!”. Kontekstem dla analizy są wypowiedzi innych przedstawicieli rosyjskiej diaspory w Warszawie i w Paryżu. Przegląd publicystyki i krytyki literackiej pisarki dowodzi, że Weber-Chiriakowa postrzegała emigrację jako misję, szczególne znaczenie przypisując literaturze. Odwoływała się do tradycji klasycznej literatury rosyjskiej, która starała się łączyć ideały estetyczne z etycznymi, a także do koncepcji pisarza-proroka. Teksty Weber-Chiriakowej, która należała do radykalnych kręgów diaspory, nieprzychylnych wobec jakichkolwiek kompromisów z Rosją sowiecką, odzwierciedlały założenia programowe gazety „Za Svobodu!”.

ПЕРФЕКЦИОНИЗМ КАК ФАКТОР КОНФЛИКТОВ
Authors: Иванова Е. Н. , Поденков А. О.
Published: April 2021

The article is devoted to the study of different types of perfectionism influence on occurrence of interpersonal conflict and its connection with impersonal conflict. Perfectionism is defined as regular pursuit of unattainable perfection focused on excessive standards. The article shows the multidimensionality of this phenomenon reflecting first of all spreading perfectionist's intention to achieve perfection either to himself or to others, or globally. The emphasis on the idea that perfectionism can have either neurotic or healthy nature on which its conflictogenity is dependent is made in the article. To overcome the ambiguity of this phenomenon understanding it’s proposed to use the term “pseudo-perfectionism” to name a “healthy” form of perfectionism. The distinct origins of perfectionism formation — under parental pressure in childhood or during adulthood under economic conditions pressure, especially profound in the modern world are revealed in the article. The certain form of perfectionism emergence is provoked by these affections depending on a number of conditions. The forms of perfectionism differ by their conflict potential degree and ability of their carriers to adapt to society. It’s accentuated in the article that personal neurotic perfectionism formed under unfavorable conditions provokes fear of failure, inadequate responsibility for the activity results, thinking in “all or nothing” format and self-esteem rigid dependence on an achievement level is emphasized in the article. Pseudo-perfectionism increases activities’ essence significance, promotes adequate results’ assessment standards establishment and is reflected in individual’s realistic requirements to his performance level. The conflict potential of different forms of perfectionism is investigated. Directed at the individual himself it’s distorting his basic needs and causing intrapersonal conflict which in turn creates the ground for interpersonal collisions. When directed towards others perfectionism provokes interpersonal conflicts directly. The idea that both neurotic and pseudo-perfectionism have a conflict potential, but the nature and prospects of conflicts caused by these forms differ significantly is carried out.
‘He messaged me the other night and said you are my saviour’: An interpretative phenomenological analysis of intimate partners’ roles in supporting Veterans with mental health difficulties
Authors: Johnstone Hannah , Cogan Nicola
Published: April 2021

LAY SUMMARY

Previous research has shown that partners of Veterans with mental health difficulties can often struggle with their own mental health difficulties when supporting the Veteran. Despite this, many couples choose to remain in a relationship. The authors wanted to know whether there are any positive aspects to being in a relationship with a Veteran and whether the partners of Veterans have a role to play in supporting Veterans with mental health difficulties. Using semi-structured interviews, the interviewer asked six female partners of male Veterans to describe their experiences of being in a relationship with a Veteran with mental health difficulties. The partners described three main themes, suggesting that not only do partners have a role to play in supporting Veterans, and the specific ways they do this, but that this role has challenges as well.
Relationship among combat experience, Veteran pathology, and pathology of Veterans’ intimate partners: Factors predicting the pathology of Veterans and their intimate partners
Authors: Brennan Edwin A. , Carbonell Nancy , Kijai Jimmy , Waite Dennis
Published: April 2021

LAY SUMMARY

For nearly 20 years, military members and their families have been involved in some form of military operation in support of what is known as the Global War on Terrorism. Research has shown that military members and Veterans demonstrate increased levels of mental health disorders, such as anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress disorder. No studies to date, however, have explored how the resulting mental illness is shared by the intimate partners of these military members and Veterans. For this research, the term “ resonating of pathology” is used to identify this phenomenon. The research authors surveyed combat Veterans and their intimate partners to gather the data for analysis. The authors then completed statistical analysis to examine both associations and predictive factors that would help clinicians, researchers, and academics understand and develop theories and clinical interventions for such couples. Although the research appears to confirm this sharing of mental health diagnosis, more research will be needed to create a better understanding in the future.
Reimagined connection: New possibilities for virtual mental health support for children and youth of public safety personnel affected by operational stress injuries
Authors: Hawryluk Helena , Popik Jerris , Tam-Seto Linna
Published: April 2021

LAY SUMMARY

Young people in public safety personnel (PSP)-connected families are affected by the distinctive stress related to having a parent with mental health issues, including operational stress injuries (OSIs) and the existing strain connected to the COVID-19 pandemic. This increased vulnerability makes it important to be innovative in opportunities for prevention in the PSP community. After reviewing available resources aimed at helping young people affected by a parental OSI, the authors uncovered a gap in prevention and intervention programs accessible to all Canadian PSP families. A new virtual six-week program offered to Canadian young people in military and PSP families affected by an OSI creates potential for developing resilience. The online platform opens access to young people who may be isolated from joining a traditional face-to-face mental health support program with peers. The virtual program aims to empower young people in their knowledge of mental health and enable them to learn about the complex nature of parental OSIs, such as posttraumatic stress disorder. More research on this program is needed to ensure interventions created for this target population are effective in the Canadian context and meet the unique needs of PSP-connected young people.

Authors: Sursaieva L. M. , Zhebel V. M. , Pashkova Yu. P. , Kulchevich L. V. , Shevchuk O. K.
Published: April 2021

Annotation. The aim of the study is to clarify the borderline levels of plasma concentration of BNP (B-type natriuretic peptide), with the carriage of polymorphic variants of the BNP gene in persons without cardiovascular pathology in the Podolsk region of Ukraine. Using general clinical, instrumental and laboratory methods, 67 postmenopausal women and 79 men 40–60 years old without signs of cardiovascular pathology were examined. BNP gene genotyping was performed by polymerase chain reaction. Plasma concentrations of natriuretic peptide were determined by plate solid-phase enzyme immunoassay. Mathematical processing was carried out on a personal computer using the standard statistical package Statistica 10.0. It has been established that both female and male residents of the Podolsk region of Ukraine have the same frequency of distribution of polymorphic variants of the BNP gene. Plasma concentrations of natriuretic peptide are determined by gender characteristics and are significantly higher in women: 38.32±0.65 pg/ml versus 21.74±0.50 pg/ml. in men (p<0.05). Moreover, in women, BMI is inversely correlated with the level of BNP in blood plasma.
Analysis of vital indicators for different types of anesthesia in newborns and infants with surgical pathology
Authors: Vlasov O. O.
Published: April 2021

Annotation. In newborns and infants, surgical interventions against the background of severe concomitant and background perinatal pathologies and malformations lead to catabolic stress, circulatory and respiratory disorders, which are reflected in the indicators of vital functions. Given the high risk of severe complications of organ function in the perioperative and postoperative periods, it is advisable to continuously monitor key clinical parameters. Aim of the study – to establish the absolute values of indicators of vital functions in newborns and infants with congenital surgical pathology with various types of combined anesthesia and compare them with clinical data. A retrospective study included 150 newborns and infants with congenital malformations of the surgical profile, depending on the anesthesia (inhalation + regional anesthesia; inhalation + intravenous anesthesia and total intravenous). The parameters of peripheral oximetry, blood pressure, heart rate and respiration were analyzed. It was found that peripheral saturation did not critically decrease at all stages of observation. With the exception of the resulting decrease in the indicator in children of group I compared with group III at the stage of induction into anesthesia (97.79±2.45 versus 98.79±1.63, at p=0.0194, respectively) and at the most painful moment of surgical intervention (96.29±3.47 versus 98.10±2.47, with p=0.0368). In children who received combined intravenous anesthesia with two drugs, there was an increase in mean arterial pressure from the beginning of surgical treatment to the child's recovery after surgery (49.49±10.71, 56.18±8.05, respectively, at p˂0.01). Thus, among the surveyed groups, the most vulnerable were children for whom anesthesia was provided by Sevoflurane inhalation with regional anesthesia. The performed correlation analysis established the effect of anesthesia on the general hemodynamics in children during all stages of observation.

Published: April 2021

Annotation. The severe course of COVID-19 infection often leads to complications of cardiovascular system. Among them, heart rhythm disorders are one of the main ones requiring careful examination and improvement of management of the patients with COVID-19 infection. The purpose of the work was to establish the probable predictors of cardiac rhythm disorders of the patients with severe COVID infection. In the study were examined 133 patients with severe COVID-19 infection, who were in the intensive care unit of the city clinical hospital №1 in Vinnytsia for 9 months 2020 and as a result of treatment with improved health were discharged from the hospital. Statistical processing of the obtained data was performed using the statistical software package SPSS 12.0 for Windows using parametric and non-parametric methods of statistical analysis. It was found that the prevalence of heart rhythm disorders in patients with severe COVID-19 is 86 (64.7%) patients. The predictors of arrhythmias were: the presence of stroke in anamnesis; acute thrombophlebitis during a hospital treatment; the term of being in the intensive care unit and the overall term of hospitalization. Among all rhythm disorders, tachyarrhythmias were in – 68 (51.1%), sinus tachycardia 45 (33.8%) and atrial fibrillation 19 (14.3%) were dominated in the structure of tachyarrhythmia. There were no significant predictors of tachyarrhythmias. The prevalence of bradyarrhythmias is 60 (45.1%), sinus bradycardia (12%) and the right branch of His bundle block – 30 (22.6%) were prevalent in the structure of bradyarrhythmias. Predictors of the bradyarrhythmias were: the presence of ischemic heart disease (IHD) in anamnesis; acute thrombophlebitis in anamnesis; diseases of the gastrointestinal tract; stroke while staying in a hospital; post-infarction cardiosclerosis; combination of arterial hypertension and IHD; the term of staying in the hospital and in the intensive care unit. Also, ECG predictors of bradyarrhythmia were: depression of the ST segment; pathological Q wave; hypertrophy of the left ventricle; hypertrophy of the right ventricle; extension of QT interval. The prevalence of violations of repolarization according to ECG were in 119 (89.5%) patients, among them the presence of inversion of T wave in 91 (68.4%) and depression of the ST segment – in 54 (40.6%) patients respectively. The predictors of which are: reducing of glomerular filtration rate <60 ml/min/1.73 m2; the duration of hospitalization; the old age of the patients.

Published: April 2021

Annotation. The constitutional approach is a valuable tool in the hands of practicing dermatologists, which allows an individual approach to the diagnosis and treatment of patients with psoriasis. The aim of the study was to examine the differences in total, longitudinal and transverse body sizes between healthy and/or psoriatic men depending on the severity of the disease. Anthropometric examination according to Bunak was performed for 32 men of the first mature age in patients with mild and 68 men with severe psoriasis. The PASI index was used to clinically assess the severity and area of psoriatic lesions. As a control from the data bank of the research center of National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya anthropometric data of 82 practically healthy men of the same age group were selected. Statistical data processing was performed in the license package “Statistica 5.5” using non-parametric methods of evaluation of the obtained results. In patients with mild and severe psoriasis compared with healthy men found: lower values – pubic height (by 3.2 % and 5.4 %) and trochanter (by 8.2 % and 7.0 %) anthropometric points, shoulder width (by 19.6 % and 19.0 %) and the width of the distal epiphysis of the shin (by 5.2 % and 4.8 %); greater values – body weight (by 20.1 % and 17.5 %), body length (by 1.7 % in mild course), body surface area (by 10.0 % and 7.8 %), height of suprasternal (by 3.0 % and 1.5 %), acromial (by 2.3 % and 1.0 %) and finger (by 6.1 % and 4.4 %) anthropometric points, width of the distal epiphysis of the shoulder (by 6.9 % and 5.7 %), forearm (by 3.3 % in mild course) and thigh (by 10.3 % and 7.1 %), mid-thoracic diameter (by 16.5 % and 16.3 %), transverse lower thoracic diameter (by 16.5 % and 15.7 %), anterior-posterior mid-thoracic diameter (by 17.7 % and 20.2 %), interspinous (by 12.2 % and 12.1 %), intercristal (by 13.4 % and 11.7 %) and intertrochanteric (by 11.3 % and 10.4 %) distances. Differences in the studied body size in patients with varying degrees of psoriasis found. Thus, in patients with mild psoriasis, compared with patients with severe psoriasis, higher values were found for: body length (by 1.6 %); heights of suprasternal (by 1.5 %), pubic (by 2.1 %) and finger (by 1.4 %) anthropometric points; width of the distal epiphysis of the forearm (by 2.3 %). Thus, pronounced differences in total, longitudinal and transverse dimensions between healthy and patients with mild and severe psoriasis were revealed by Ukrainian men of the first mature age. Between patients with varying degrees of severity of dermatosis, most differences are found only for longitudinal body size.
The role of metabolic adaptation of the functional state of circulating erythron in determining the course of traumatic disease in patients with massive blood loss in polytrauma
Authors: Tygai Yu. A. , Mikhnevich K. G.
Published: April 2021

Annotation. Metabolic adaptation of the functional state of circulating erythron is an important criterion for predicting the course of traumatic disease in patients with polytrauma, which is accompanied by heavy blood loss. The aim of the study was to increase the effectiveness of treatment of patients with polytrauma with hemorrhagic shock by developing and implementing a differentiated approach to infusion and transfusion therapy, based on elucidation of the mechanisms of systemic oxygen transport in the postoperative period. The index of erythrocyte transformation index, oxygen delivery index as a leading indicator of oxygen transport system in patients of group I who received intensive therapy according to the classical algorithm, in patients of group II who were additionally prescribed ceruloplasmin solution, in patients of group III who were additionally prescribed a solution of D-fructose-1,6-diphosphate sodium salt hydrate. To determine the functional state of erythrocytes and their ability to deform, we used the method of scanning electron microscopy. Statistical data processing was performed using Student’s t-test (for n<100) at a given level of reliability p=0.95. The statistical analysis of the obtained data revealed a probable reduction in the number of doses of heterogeneous erythrocytes received by patients with high blood loss in polytrauma in patients of group II on the background of maximum ability of erythrocytes to transform while maintaining the oxygen delivery index at a satisfactory level. In the future it is planned to study the morphofunctional parameters of erythrocytes in this group of patients.

Authors: Konovalova N. V. , Stopinchuk O. V. , Krikus O. Y.
Published: April 2021

Annotation. Laxatives are drugs with different mechanism of action that are used to treat or prevent constipation. Use of laxatives to control body weight is considered a dangerous tendency, especially among young women with eating disorders. Natural or synthetic stimulant purgatives are the most commonly used for weight loss because they are cost-effective, have rapid onset of action, and available in various dosage forms. Excessive use of laxatives results in a gradual efficacy decrease causes specific damage of the gastrointestinal tract, other organs and systems. This condition is known as "laxative abuse". The purpose of this review is to summarize the available scientific data on behavioral characteristics, clinical and diagnostic criteria and tactics of treatment of laxative abuse with a clinical case description. Laxatives abuse should be suspected in case of eating disorders, clinical, laboratory, endoscopic and histological changes in the gastrointestinal tract. Treatment of laxative abuse requires gradual laxatives withdrawal, potassium replacement therapy and mandatory training in the healthy eating principles. The clinical case describes a young woman who tried to stop taking laxatives, but she started to use diuretics due to peripheral swelling. At the time of examination, the daily dose of furosemide was 600 mg (15 tablets a day). Laxative abuse is relatively common among young women and requires monitoring by physicians of various specialties.

Viscoelasticidade de filmes monomoleculares contendo componentes anfifílicos do petróleo
Authors:   , Kabbach Clara Botarelli
Published: April 2021

Petroleum is a mixture of organic compounds, with a preponderance of hydrocarbons and minor occurrence of heterocompounds. The oil interface-active components are involved in various stages of the production and transport processes. They have a strong impact on the formation and stabilization of emulsions and foams, inversion of wettability and deposition and adhesion of solids on surfaces. Asphaltenes and resins fractions are composed of supramolecular structures with greatest polarity and highest interfacial activity. The present work describes the interfacial behavior of films containing amphiphiles extracted from oil. Specifically, the study reports the behavior of interfacial monolayer containing asphaltenes and maltenes (saturates, aromatics and resins) in petroleum and the monolayer interfacial rheology of each individual fraction. Asphaltenes films were subjected to oscillatory tests carried out in the Langmuir Blodgett trough to analyzing the non-dilatational surface pressure. Films of the SARA fractions were submitted to compression and expansion tests. The results demonstrate that the asphaltene films are influenced by the change in surface pressure and the compression frequency. The frequency sweep tests provided the observation of a slight tendency to decrease the dilatational modulus of elasticity as the frequency increased (from 25 to 250mHz), as well as the decrease in the elastic modulus (from 137.11 to 8.0 mN /m). In general, the viscous behavior of the components is increased with the frequency increasing. The phase behavior for mixtures of asphaltenes and resins shows similarity to the behavior of the asphaltene fraction film. Isothermal compressibility of 0.0095 mN/m to 0.1208 mN/m was obtained in the compression tests and 0.0035 mN/m to 0.0389 mN/m in the expansion tests, corroborating the irreversibility of the monolayers

Introduction: In December 2019, a highly infectious disease i.e. pneumonia caused by the coronavirus disease SARS-CoV-2, occurred in Wuhan, China, and the World Health Organization has declared its ongoing outbreak a pandemic. The clinical laboratory plays a key role in supporting the monitoring and management of SARS-CoV-2 disease. Material and methods: Our study describes the laboratory characteristics of 103, SARS-CoV-2 patients hospitalized in the public hospital Trifun Panovski in the period April - June 2020. Only two patients died as a result of the SARS-CoV-2. The most common laboratory abnormalities were: elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and C-reactive protein (CRP). Results: Leukocytosis was found in 23.3%, and leucopenia in 3% of patients with SARS – CoV-2. SARS-CoV-2 infection can be associated with myocardial injury, heart failure, vascular inflammation, myocarditis, cardiac arrhythmias, and hypoxic encephalopathy. We found increased values of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and γ –glutamyl transferase (γ –GT) in 35 – 50% of patients. We detected affected renal function in 10% of our patients with SARS – CoV 2. Conclusion:We identified potential biomarkers of disease severity. Our results provide guidance in risk assessment, clinical monitoring and therapy decision-making processes

Remarkably, there is no place for inaccuracies and errors in modern era of value-based care medicine. The high stress clinical setting and the challenging demands within the medical field, to enhance improvement in patient safety culture. It is a difficult experience for health care practitioners to witness expected patient tragedies, and affect the most resilient health providers. Intended harm and negligence due to vindictiveness is extremely rare; yet, we treat our caregivers who are involved in human error and system failures with blame, shame, and, what may be most destructive and abandonment.

Background: Psoriasis is a chronic, autoimmune disorder that affects the skin and joints with an approximate global prevalence of 2–3%. Mild to moderate psoriasis is highly prevalent in about 80% of the global psoriatic population (2-3%). Currently available treatment options for mild to moderate psoriasis are topical dosage forms. Though a variety of topical formulations available, they are associated with different side effects. There is an unmet need for a product that can be used for a prolonged period with minimal side effects. Hence, Apremilast gel was developed and clinical proof of concept study (POC) was performed to investigate the efficacy and safety in mild to moderate psoriasis patients. Methods: A single-center randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of apremilast topical gels 2% & 4% w/w, in adult mild to moderate psoriatic patients for 12 weeks. Patients were examined at weeks 0, 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks to assess the efficacy and safety. At 0 and 8 weeks, blood samples were collected to investigate the pharmacokinetics. The significance in % recovery was calculated statistically. Results: Both gels exhibited a significant reduction in PASI values when compared with baseline PASI scores. The average percentage inhibition of PASI with test products i.e. 2% and 4% w/w Apremilast topical gels is about 46.8% and 34.6% respectively after 12 weeks of treatment. Both the test products have not shown any adverse effects, hematological & biochemical changes and have exhibited Cmax less than 20ng/ml after 6 hours of application. Conclusion: Results have shown that topically applied apremilast could be an effective and safe option for the management of mild to moderate psoriasis.

Worldwide, one in eight deaths is due to cancer. Projections based on the GLOBOCAN 2012 estimates predict a substantive increase new cancer cases per year by 2035 in developing countries if preventive measures are not widely applied. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), millions of lives could be saved each year if countries made use of existing knowledge and the best cost-effective methods to prevent and treat cancer. Therefore, the aim of this study is to estimate a provisional budget against cancer in low and middle incomes countries, according the GNI-PPP, the cancer incidence and the number of population. Economically country classification is determining with the Gross national income (GNI), per capita, Purchasing power parity (PPP), according the administrations of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank (WB) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Cancer incidence data presented are based on the most recent data available at IARC. However, population compares estimates from the US Bureau of the Census. The provisional budget is establishing among the guidelines developed by WHO for regional and national cancer control programs according to national economic development. Provisional budget against cancer is estimated to 12,782.535 (thousands of U.S $) for a population of 5,918,919 persons in Eritrea.

The Feel-Good Film
Authors: Sarkhosh Keyvan , Menninghaus Winfried
Published: April 2021

In film criticism, “feel-good films” are widely dismissed as intellectually undemanding and sentimental entertainment. This study identifies key characteristics, emotional effects, and aesthetic qualities of feel-good films from the audience’s perspective. Although the feel-good film does not appear to be a genre in its own right, it is more than just a rather vague category. Romantic comedy films with a substantial share of drama are shown to be the most prototypical feel-good genre blend. Fairy-tale likeness and perceived lightness were indicated as key characteristics of these films. Yet for all their focus on happiness and relaxation, the emotional trajectories also involve serious conflicts and are experienced as profoundly moving. Moreover, preferences for feel-good films differ greatly, depending on gender and age.
Relating to Place
Authors: Ferguson Jenanne
Published: April 2021

The three articles that comprise this issue of Sibirica engage with the complexities of dialogic relationships to place. What do people bring to a place? What does place catalyze for people? The authors come from diverse disciplinary backgrounds and bring disparate frameworks from human geography, cultural anthropology, and philosophy; in each article, they engage with both the immediate present and the broader arc of time and reflect on the pragmatic and practical dimensions of relationships with a place to those more spiritual and ineffable.

Authors: KARADEMİR Yasemin
Published: April 2021

Araştırmada, halk oyuncularının grup sargınlığı ve algıladıkları motivasyonel iklim düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Ayrıca çalışmada, oyuncuların kişisel bilgileri doğrultusunda grup sargınlığı ve algıladıkları motivasyonel iklim düzeyleri arasındaki farklılıklar incelenmiştir. Araştırmaya, 2018-2019 sezonunda Türkiye Üniversite Sporları Federasyonu tarafından düzenlenen üniversiteler arası halk oyunları yarışmasında oynayan halk oyuncular (n=298) katılmıştır. Araştırmada, 1985 yılında Carron, Widmeyer ve Brawley tarafından geliştirilen, 2006 yılında Öcel tarafından Türk sporcuları için uyarlanması yapılan “Grup Sargınlığı Ölçeği” ile 1993 yılında Walling, Duda ve Chi tarafından geliştirilen 2001 yılında Toros tarafından Türk sporcuları için uyarlanması yapılan “Motivasyonel İklim Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Kolmogorov-Smirnov testi ile verilerin normallik dağılımı incelenmiş ve neticede parametreler arası ilişkilerin analizinde Spearman Korelasyon analizi, farklılıkların analizinde de Mann Whitney U ve Kruskal Wallis H testleri kullanılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda oyuncuların grup sargınlığı düzeyleri arasında yaş, öğrenim durumu ve antrenör yeterliliği değişkenlerine göre anlamlı bir farklılık olduğu, motivasyonel iklim düzeyleri arasında ise yaş, antrenör cinsiyeti ve antrenör yeterliliği değişkenlerine göre anlamlı bir farklılık olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Oyuncuların grup sargınlığı ve motivasyonel iklim düzeyleri arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunamamıştır. Ancak ölçeklerin alt boyutları üzerinde yapılan analizler değerlendirildiğinde; oyuncuların algıladıkları ustalık iklimi ile grup sargınlığı alt boyutları arasında pozitif yönlü anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu tespit edilirken algıladıkları performans iklimi ile grup sargınlığı alt boyutları arasında ise negatif yönlü anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
