"Odyssey" year of writing....
Authors: Volkov A.S.
Published: April 2024

Книга посвящена «Историческому исследованию и хронологическому датированию» эпической поэмы Гомера «Одиссея» одного из двух самых древних и известных классических литературных произведений Древней Греции, в ко-тором подробно описаны приключения царя Итаки и его, полное смертельных опасностей, возвращение на родину, после окончания Троянской войны.
Из этой книги читатель узнает одну из главных тайн этого эпического произведения древности дату её написания, которая значительно отличается от принятой в официальной исторической хронологии.
Историко-хронологическое исследование и датировка эпической поэмы Гомера «Одиссея» проводилось с учётом особенностей Древнегреческой мифологии и религии, мифологии флоры и фауны, Зодиакальной мифологии, а также за-конов старинной астрономической символики. В качестве основного метода исследования и датировки была использована, специально разработанная автором, для хронологического исследования эпических поэм Гомера и трагедий Древнегреческих драматургов, на базе методов астрономической хронологии, «Методика исследования астрономической символики персонажей в литературе Древней Греции»
В ходе проведённого исследования были установлены две даты, предположительно начала написания условно первого раздела поэмы, с первой по двенадцатую песни, а имен-но 15 июня 1322 года н.э. В этот день произошло кольцевое Солнечное затмение, названное автором этого исследования Затмением «Одиссеи». А также начала написания условно второго раздела поэмы, с тринадцатой по двадцать четвёртую песни, а именно 24 декабря 1346 года н.э. По старому летоисчислению это канун Рождества Христова, то есть Рождественский сочельник. Даты были определены при помощи астрономических ключей, которые представляют собой многочисленные символические упоминания в тексте поэмы «Одиссея», о положениях планет Солнечной системы, Луны и самого Солнца, в созвездиях Зодиакального пояса.
Книга не требует от читателя специальных академических знаний по «Истории Древнего мира», «Научной хронологии» или «Литературе Древней Греции». Она предназначена всем не равнодушным к истории читателям, интересующимся современными естественнонаучными методами датирования древних памятников истории и культуры, прикладной астрономией и древней астральной символикой в искусстве и литературе.
Написанием этой книги автор хочет вернуть читателей к более глубокому, можно сказать скрупулезному, изучению поэм Гомера и других древних литературных произведений. Для того чтобы каждый из читателей, в момент погружения в мир старинных мифов, легенд и сказаний осознал, что, несмотря на громадное количество научных трудов, разных специализаций, в эпической поэме «Одиссея», как и в других литературных произведениях древности, есть еще очень много неразгаданных интригующих тайн связанных с сами-ми произведениями, с событиями и персонажами, описанными в них.
Influence of cognitive functioning on the effectiveness of treatment of veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder and mild traumatic brain injury
Authors: Smashna Olena
Published: April 2024

A history of traumatic brain injury in veterans is associated with higher use of mental health services, regardless of psychiatric diagnoses, which makes it important to develop a comprehensive approach to treatment and evaluate its effectiveness. The study aimed to investigate the impact of cognitive functioning among 329 veterans with comorbid post-traumatic stress disorder and mild traumatic brain injury on the effectiveness of combination therapy. The following tests were used to assess cognitive functioning: the Ray-Osterritz test, the Symbolic Communication Test, the Stroop test, and the Verbal Fluency Test. Functioning was assessed using the World Health Organization Questionnaire for the Assessment of Disability. The effectiveness of the combination therapy was also assessed using the Four-Dimensional Symptom Inventory. The influence of cognitive functioning on the effectiveness of 8-week complex therapy for veterans with this comorbidity was confirmed. The results of the Trail Making Test had statistically significant negative correlations with the cognitive sphere scale (ρ = -0.237; p = 0.0117) and the integral index of the World Health Organization questionnaire for the assessment of disability (ρ= -0.192; p = 0.0424), as well as positive correlations with the scales of self-care (ρ = 0.2038; p = 0.0311) and daily activity (ρ = 0.2048; p = 0.0303). It was found that patients with post-traumatic stress disorder, mild traumatic brain injury and their comorbidity responded differently to therapy, which was determined by the clinical features of their cognitive processes, namely associative performance, control rigidity/flexibility, attention, working memory and executive function. The dynamics of cognitive functioning differed in each group. It was also found that cognitive symptoms were targeted by therapy, as evidenced by their reduction after the intervention. The data obtained will allow for a more efficient and comprehensive organization of specialised psychiatric care for veterans, and cognitive functioning is predictive of the effectiveness and duration of treatment

Objective: The current research aimed to investigate the effectiveness of schema therapy on self-differentiation and rejection sensitivity among patients with borderline personality disorder in Shiraz in 2022. Methods and Materials: The research method was a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test, post-test, control group, and follow-up. The statistical population consisted of all individuals with borderline personality disorder who visited counseling centers in Shiraz, from which 50 individuals were selected through purposive sampling and randomly assigned to either the experimental group (25 individuals) or the control group (25 individuals). The experimental group underwent 12 sixty-minute sessions of schema therapy, while the control group was placed on a waiting list. The instruments used in this study included the Borderline Personality Questionnaire (Claridge & Brookes, 1984), Self-Differentiation (Skowron & Friedlander, 1998), and Rejection Sensitivity (Downey & Feldman, 1996). Data analysis was performed in two parts: descriptive and inferential (repeated measures ANOVA). Findings: The results indicated that schema therapy training has an impact on self-differentiation and its components (emotional reactivity, I position, emotional cutoff, and fusion with others) in individuals with borderline personality disorder. Furthermore, the results showed that schema therapy training affects rejection sensitivity in individuals with borderline personality disorder. Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, it can be concluded that schema therapy is an effective treatment for improving self-differentiation and rejection sensitivity in individuals with borderline personality traits. It is recommended that this therapy be used for individuals with borderline personality traits in clinical settings.

В статье исследуется музыка Авенира де Монфреда (1903–1974) к мультфильмам польско-французского кинорежиссёра Валериана Боровчика (1923–2006). Сотрудничество де Монфреда и Боровчика длилось на протяжении 1960-х годов, за это время в тандеме режиссёра и композитора было создано четыре разных по жанру, графике, драматургии и звуковому оформлению работы: «Ренессанс» (1963), «Энциклопедия бабушки в 13 томах» (1963), «Концерт месье и мадам Кабаль» (1964), «Театр месье и мадам Кабаль» (1967). В наследии композитора киномузыка не была превалирующим видом творчества, однако основные черты стиля де Монфреда в области академической музыки прослеживаются и в его киноработах.

The article examines the music of Avenir de Monfred (1903–1974) for cartoons by Polish-French film director Walerian Borowczyk (1923–2006). The collaboration between de Monfred and Borowczyk lasted throughout the 1960s, when four works of different genres, graphics, drama and sound design were created in tandem with the director and composer: “Renaissance” (1963), “Encyclopedia of the Grandmother in 13 Volumes” (1963), “Concert of Monsieur and Madame Cabal” (1964), “The Theater of Monsieur and Madame Cabal” (1967). In the legacy of the film composer, music was not the predominant type of creativity, but the main features of de Monfred's style in the field of academic music can be traced in his film works.

Based on the data relating to these parameters of Delonixregia(Boj. ex Hook.) Raf. described and discussed. The trees of D. regiabloomed after leaf shedding. It flowers during March – September. The period of blooming extended over 128.5 (R = 97 - 158) days. The flowers per raceme were 11-14. They matured intermittently in acropetal succession; the gap was 2-3 days between the maturation of flowers. Flowering life of an inflorescence varied from 16-19 days, with actual flowering occurring on 6-8 days. On any day 1-3 flowers opened, two being more common. Anthesis occurred during 0930-1000 hours. Individual flowers were very striking and prominent with one relatively larger, standard, upright petal marked with white, yellow and red streaks. It acted as a nectar guide and its base concealed the nectar. Its basal part formed a tube-like structure by the incurvation of margins. It functioned for 36 hours. The other four petals were scarlet-red. Flowers were retained for four days. Stigma became receptive at 1430 hours of first day of flower life, while the anthers began to dehisce intermittently during 1530-1830 hours of first day of flower life. Stigma and pollen were functional for 20-24 hours. Pollen remained in clumps
Study of specific energy in elastic phase of the different elements of a low voltage underground power cable
Authors: Ouaomar H
Published: April 2024

Elements that constitute electric cables require a compromise between mechanical and electrical characteristics to achieve the desired functions, the choice of materials constituting each element involves economic and technical factors and requires a broad knowledge of materials to choose from. Unfortunately, by the external environment and operating conditions of these cables, the insulation material is subjected to various kinds of stresses, without forgetting the moisture effects that could not be prevented on the other elements of cable despite the presence of peripheral protective sheaths. The aim of this work is to study the mechanical behavior of underground electrical cable components. For this reason, a comparative study between the different specific energies in elastic phase of cables elements is performed. We concluded that the outer sheath has a specific energy in elastic phase considerably higher compared to the other elements energies, this elastic energy is extremely important for the used material, it increases the level of its performance and its endurance against mechanical stress. Therefore, it makes the material more reliable and increases its availability as well as its mechanical life time

WRITING A MARWIYYA IN CONTEMPORARY TUNISIA: TAOUFIK BEN BRIK’S KAWASAKI
Authors:   University of Catania (Italy), LA ROSA CRISTINA
Published: April 2024

Kawasaki is a novel published in 2014 by Tunisian writer Taoufik Ben Brik, already renowned for his book entitled Kalb ben Kalb. Although Kawasaki addresses issues relevant to literature of resistance, Ben Brik prefers to define it a marwiyya, almost as if to create a new genre. The novel is set in a dry, barren Tunisia, where everything is arid and stony, a metaphor of the state of mind of the men and women who feel trapped in contemporary Tunisian society. The novel bears the name of the protagonist’s motorcycle on which he undertakes a physical journey towards Tataouine, but also a complex metaphorical journey characterised by the nonsensical thoughts that assail him on the way. He is a schoolteacher, a father, and a husband. Keen on art and reading, he does not view the world like everyone else. All of this is reflected in the language used by Ben Brik, which produces an illogical and delirious prose, also on account of the blending and alternation of Tunisian and Standard Arabic. In this paper, I will analyse the main formal features of the novel and its principal narrative strategies.

Background: Scapular dyskinesia affects shoulder function, with significant implications for individuals, especially athletes. Rehabilitation approaches, including modified robbery exercises, aim to address this by improving scapular kinematics and muscle function. This study evaluates the effectiveness of modified robbery exercises supplemented with electromyography (EMG) biofeedback on muscle activation patterns and functional outcomes in individuals with scapular dyskinesia. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 40 participants (20 in the control group receiving modified robbery exercises and ergonomic training, and 20 in the experimental group receiving modified robbery exercises with EMG biofeedback). Both interventions lasted 6 weeks, with sessions three times per week. Outcome measures included pain levels (Visual Analog Scale), muscle activation (EMG), functional disability (DASH questionnaire), and health-related quality of life (EQ-5D index and VAS). Independent samples t-tests were used to compare baseline and post-intervention differences between groups. Results: Post-intervention, the experimental group demonstrated significantly greater improvements in muscle activation for the Serratus Anterior, Upper Trapezius, and Lower Trapezius (p<0.001 for SA), indicating the benefit of EMG biofeedback. Both groups experienced pain reduction and functional improvements; however, the experimental group showed a more pronounced decrease in DASH scores (p=0.002) and a notable improvement in EQ-5D Index scores (p=0.008), pointing to enhanced functional outcomes and quality of life. Conclusions: Modified robbery exercises with EMG biofeedback are more effective than traditional exercises alone in improving muscle activation, reducing functional disability, and enhancing the quality of life in individuals with scapular dyskinesia. This study supports the integration of EMG biofeedback into rehabilitation programs for scapular dyskinesia, offering a promising approach for clinicians aiming to optimize recovery outcomes.

Published: April 2024

Proses perencanaan pembangunan di Indonesia telah berubah secara signifikan dari model otoriter dan top down menjadi demokratis, partisipatif, dan merupakan perpaduan antara model top down dan bottom up. Sejalan dengan itu, ICT telah diadopsi untuk mengoptimalkan proses perencanaan di Indonesia melalui perencanaan e-partisipatif. Catatan ini membahas pengalaman perencanaan partisipatif di Indonesia dimana beberapa kemajuan telah dicapai dalam penggunaan TIK. Sejumlah persoalan penolakan usulan dan keterbatasan anggaran meningkat drastis, bertolak belakang dengan semangat penyelesaian permasalahan kota yang berimplikasi pada partisipasi masyarakat. Hal ini merupakan dampak dari kesenjangan digital, dimana para aktor yang terlibat di tingkat bawah tidak mendapatkan literasi digital yang memadai. Tantangan muncul terkait upaya mendekatkan kesenjangan digital kepada para pelaku guna menyelaraskan permintaan masyarakat dan kapasitas pemerintah dalam proses perencanaan partisipatif.
