Prevalence of mastitis in Nigerian livestock: a Review
Authors: Adamu Hussaini Ojagefu , Hussaini Rahimat Oshuwa , Obasuyi Cedric , Anagha Linus Irefo , Okoduwa Gabriel Oscy
Published: October 2020

Mastitis is a disease of livestock that directly impede livestock production and thus hindering the socio-ecological development of sub-Saharan Africa. Studies have estimated the prevalence of this disease in 30% of Africa countries, with Ethiopia having the highest prevalence. The coverage is low, despite the wide livestock and dairy farms distribution in Africa. Furthermore, estimated economic losses due to the impact of mastitis are lacking in Nigeria. The disease is endemic in Nigeria as indicated by the available data and there are no proposed management plans or control strategies. This review is thus presented to serve as a wakeup call to all parties involved to intensify efforts towards the diagnosis, control, and management of the disease in Nigeria.
On data-driven nonlinear uncertainty modeling: Methods and application for control-oriented surface condition prediction in hard turning
Authors: Wittich Felix , Kistner Lars , Kroll Andreas , Schott Christopher , Niendorf Thomas
Published: October 2020

In this article, two data-driven modeling approaches are investigated, which allow an explicit modeling of uncertainty. For this purpose, parametric Takagi-Sugeno multi-models with bounded-error parameter estimation and nonparametric Gaussian process regression are applied and compared. These models can for instance be used for robust model-based control design. As an application, the prediction of residual stresses during hard turning depending on the machining parameters and the initial hardness is considered.

Dieser Beitrag untersucht sowohl den Wechsel zu direkter Rede als auch die Form infigierter Pronomina nach der Konjunktion con, um eine neue Interpretation dieser Passage, derer Übersetzung bisher als unproblematisch galt, anzubieten.
The Problem of Value and Other Outstanding Issues in Freud's Sexual Theory
Authors: Olver Thomas
Published: October 2020

The author takes up Freud's sexual theory and examines several key issues—narcissism, infantile sexuality, heterosexuality, and gender—in order to reassert the radical aspects of Freud's epistemology. These areas are explored in two broad and interrelated themes, which are characterized loosely as a genealogy of morals and a philosophy of the will to power. Although this moves substantially beyond the formulations used by Freud, the underlying issue in all this material is the problem of value, and the author demonstrates the truly radical arc of Freud's thinking in the way he addresses value in his sexual theory.
The Preponderance of Psychic Elements in Drug Addiction
Authors: Moreno-Flórez Daniel
Published: October 2020

The clinical perspective used to understand a patient with an addiction affects the course of treatment and the possibilities for recovery. Positivist and pharmacological models have become popular in the treatment of addictions. These models claim that addiction is primarily a pharmacological occurrence and privilege the biochemical effects of specific substances over the intrapsychic conflict of the patient in order to justify the phenomenology of addiction. Although psychoanalytic approaches have been previously used to treat addictive patients, they have frequently been considered unsuitable and inadequate for such cases. The author's purpose is to use the scope that psychoanalytic comprehension provides to examine the subject who is addicted in relation to his or her maturational development; considering the roles played by pleasure, ego defects, and defensive behavior, derived from case vignettes, in order to illustrate the role of intrapsychic life in the maintaining of an addiction.
ARHGAP36 regulates proliferation and migration in papillary thyroid carcinoma cells
Authors: Yan Ting , Qiu Wangwang , Song Jianlu , Fan Youben , Yang Zhili
Published: October 2020

The diagnosis and treatment of recurrence and metastasis in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) are still clinical challenges. One of the key factors is the lack of specific diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets for recurrence and metastasis. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has emerged as a powerful approach to find specific biomarkers by dissecting expression profiling in human cancers at the resolution of individual cells. Here, we investigated cell profiles of the primary tumor and lymph node metastasis and paracancerous normal tissues in one PTC patient using scRNA-seq, and compared individual cell gene expression differences. The transcriptomes of 11,805 single cells were profiled, and malignant cells exhibited a profound transcriptional overlap between primary and metastatic lesions, but there were differences in the composition and quantity of non-malignant cells. ARHGAP36 was one of the genes that were highly expressed in almost all of the primary and metastatic malignant cells without non-malignant or normal follicular cells and was then confirmed by immunostaining in a sample cohort. Compared with the paracancerous normal tissue, the expression of ARHGAP36 in primary and metastatic carcinoma tissues was significantly higher as assayed by qRT-PCR. ARHGAP36 knockdown significantly inhibited the proliferation and migration of PTC cells in vitro and involved several proliferation and migration-associated signaling pathways by RNA seq. Our study demonstrated that ARHGAP36 is exclusively expressed in the malignant cells of primary PTC, as well as metastatic lesions, and regulates their proliferation and migration, meaning it can be used as a potential diagnostic marker and therapeutic target molecule.

Plattformökonomik, Bundling und Marktpotential
Authors: Wellbrock Christian-Mathias
Published: October 2020

Spätestens seit Apple im Jahr 2019 mit Apple News+ in Nordamerika, Großbritannien und Australien an den Start gegangen ist, stellt sich auch in Deutschland die Frage: Wird es in naher Zukunft eine Plattform geben, die anbieterübergreifend journalistische Inhalte zu den Konditionen einer Flatrate bereitstellen und große Teile des Marktes abdecken wird? Dieser Beitrag beleuchtet diese Frage zunächst aus einer ökonomisch-theoretischen Perspektive. Hierfür werden zentrale Kriterien, die erstens für eine Organisation ökonomischer Aktivitäten über Plattformen und zweitens für eine Bündelung von Gütern sprechen, auf digitaljournalistische Inhalte angewendet. Im Anschluss daran werden empirische Befunde aus einer großzahligen repräsentativen Befragung der deutschen Online-Bevölkerung im Auftrag der Landesanstalt für Medien NRW (Buschow & Wellbrock 2019) zu den Konsumentenpräferenzen bzgl. einer hypothetischen digitaljournalistischen Plattform präsentiert. Das zentrale Ergebnis dieser Analysen ist, dass es sowohl aus Anbieter- als auch aus Konsumentensicht viele Argumente für solch eine anbieterübergreifende abonnementbasierte „Journalismus-Plattform“ – eine Art „Spotify für Journalismus“ – gibt. Zu guter Letzt werden die Daten aus der oben genannten Konsumentenbefragung genutzt, um eine erste grobe Schätzung des Marktpotentials einer digitaljournalistischen Plattform durchzuführen. Das Papier will also zwei Beiträge leisten: erstens liefert und diskutiert es eine Übersicht über Kriterien, die für eine Bündelung von Inhalten spricht – eine Art Playbook für das Bündeln von digitalen Inhalten. Zweitens wird das Marktpotential solch einer Plattform auf Grundlage von Befragungsdaten geschätzt.

The Changes of Cultural Memory in a Liquid Modern World
Authors: Mykolaitytė Aurelija
Published: October 2020

Based on the insights of modern philosophers, particularly Zygmunt Bauman, the work examines how cultural memory can be affected by globalisation and what kind of challenges arise when collective truths are passed on from generation to generation. The sources selected for the analysis are modern dystopias that design possible versions of cultural response. Other subjects significant to the research include phenomena of modern culture that help to uncover the latest trends and the views on cultural heritage held by people of the 21st century. The article comes to the conclusion that the changes of cultural memory in a fluid modern world can be affected deeply by factors such as the ideology of consumerism and the insularity of a web community, but this is only a possibility. Western authors Aldous Huxley and Michel Houellebecq place a stronger emphasis on determinism, whereas Lithuanian writer Jaroslavas Melnikas highlights the possibility of freedom. Nevertheless, notably, all of these texts are projections that primarily encourage critical thinking and demonstrate the ambivalence of the current situation. Contemporary culture is likely at a turning point, but the results of the transformation are still unclear.
Paremias of the Latvians and the Russians in Latgale: From the Holy Scripture to Modern Existence
Authors: Korolova Jelena , Kovzele Oksana , Kacane Ilze
Published: October 2020

The paper presents a comparative analysis of some selected Latvian and Russian paremias, the bulk of which has been collected in the time period since the 1970s till nowadays in the south-eastern part of Latvia – Latgale, and studied in the context of Latvian proverbs included in folklore collections and phraseological dictionaries, as well as the archival materials of the Latvian Academy of Sciences and works by Latvian folklorists. The aim of the study is to analyse prototypical paremias from the Holy Scripture and trace the history of their existence and further development among the Latvians and the Russians in the Latgale region based on the qualitative data analysis. The conducted research allows concluding that similar worldview patterns of the Latvians and the Russians are to be searched for in Christianity. The analysed proverbs testify to the fact that culture is a unifying factor for different ethnic groups living in the same region.
Lost in Translation: Narrative Perspective Silenced by the Voice of the Translator
Authors: Tahiri Lindita
Published: October 2020

This study compares passages from four novels by the renowned Albanian author Ismail Kadare with their English translations: Prilli i thyer (Broken April, 1990 [1980]), Kronika në gur (Chronicle in Stone, 2007 [1971]), Vajza e Agamemnonit (The Daughter of Agamemnon, 2006 [2003]) and Pallati i ëndrrave (The Palace of Dreams, 2011 [1999]). It uses the linguistic analysis of style in the source and the target languages aiming to identify the modification of narrative perspectives during the translation process. The stylistic comparison of the original with translated versions demonstrates the shift from the internal perspective to the narratorial perspective of narration, which may be the result of the translator’s inclination to explain. In Kadare’s novels which have been translated from French, the tendency to make a clear borderline between narrative voices is evident. The translator’s lack of ability to pick out stylistic features indicating the internal perspective of the character impacts the mental representation produced by the reader of the translated text. The shift from the character’s to the narrator’s perspective influences not only the reader’s attitude towards the culture narrated in the text but also the way how the identity of the narrator is construted. Consequently, the imposed narratorial voice in the translated Kadare’s novels gives a different impression from the non-intrusive narration that the author managed to create in the communist regime.
Lip Synchrony of Rounded and Protruded Vowels and Diphthongs in the Lithuanian-Dubbed Animated Film “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2”
Authors: Koverienė Indrė , Čeidaitė Kristina
Published: October 2020

In this article, the problems of dubbing, especially related to lip synchrony as one of the most challenging aspects of audiovisual translation, are scrutinised. Contrarily to the traditional focus on bilabials and open vowels, the object of this research is lip synchrony of both rounded and protruded vowels and diphthongs since lip rounding is a visibly marked feature, which cannot be neglected especially in close-ups. The study aims at determining the inaccuracies in lip synchrony of the mentioned phonemic group in the dubbed animated feature film Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 from English to Lithuanian. Qualitative and quantitative analysis is carried out by employing a comparative method. The research methodology is based on the theoretical insights and assumptions provided by Frederic Chaume (2004, 2006, 2012), Richard Barsam & Dave Monahan (2010), and Indrė Koverienė (2015). The research findings demonstrate the main issues of lip synchrony a translator might face while adapting a piece of audiovisual material for the target language audience. Also, it provides insights into the quality of the overall translation of the chosen film.

Longitudinal Spin Dynamics in the Heisenberg Antiferromagnet: Two-Magnon Excitations
Authors: Boliasova O. O. , Krivoruchko V. N.
Published: October 2020

Understanding the ultrafast spin dynamics in magnetically ordered materials is important for the comprehenssion of fundamental limits in spin-based magnetic electronics – magnonics. We have studied a microscopic model of magnetization dynamics in a two-sublattice antiferromagnet with the emphasis on longitudinal spin excitations. The diagrammatic technique for spin operators has been used to overcome limitations typical of phenomenological approaches. The graphical representations of spin wave propagators allow us to summing up the infinite series of distinctive diagrams. Its sum is transformed into an analytic expression for the longitudinal spin susceptibility xzz (q, w) applicable in all regions of the frequency w and wave vector q spaces beyond the hydrodynamical and critical regimes. It is found that the longitudinal magnetization dynamics consists of two types of excitations, which have different dependences on the temperature and wave vector q. The obtained result could be important for understanding the physics of nonequilibrium magnetic dynamics under the effect of ultrafast laser pulses in antiferromagnetic materials.

Published: October 2020

Abstract The aim of this research will investigate numerous aspects including agriculture sustainability from an Islamic perspective. The method used is a literature review with descriptive analysis. The result is Islam has several actions to reach farming base on the environment such as the barring of killing some of the animals comprise frog, eagle, bee, and other animal which is valuable for creating ecosystem balance. The action is integrating pest mitigation by way of using nature power to decline the population of insect attacks. The other is to rekindle of land is the most imperative action to assert sustainable agriculture. Lands must be cultivated as people mandatory to God’s but don’t create killing and vanishing of an animal which bolster soil fertility. For this, the land has to preserve through organic manure to attaint Ihya-Almawat or planting land without ravage soil. The impact is climate change can be encouraged. Then, people who cultivate seed or plant to land, the person will receive a reward from God. While planting plant produces alms as capital for a person when they confront God’s. As result, the people on earth obtain some merits such as people get oxygen, shading, habitat for the animal, and save a life from the unpredicted climate.Keywords: Agriculture, Climate, Environment, Islam Abstract Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji berbagai aspek termasuk pertanian berkelanjutan dalam perspektif Islam.

Published: October 2020

E. Hrushovski proved that the theory of difference-differential fields of characteristic zero has a model-companion. We denote it DCFA. In this paper we study definable abelian groups in a model of DCFA. First we prove that such a group is embeddable on an algebraic group. Then, we study one-basedeness, stability and stable embeddability of abelian definable groups.
A Brief Survey of Higgs Bundles
Authors: Zúñiga-Rojas Ronald A.
Published: October 2020

Considering a compact Riemann surface of genus greater or equal than two, a Higgs bundle is a pair composed of a holomorphic bundle over the Riemann surface, joint with an auxiliar vector field, so-called Higgs field. This theory started around thirty years ago, with Hitchin’s work, when he reduced the self-duality equations from dimension four to dimension two, and so, studied those equations over Riemann surfaces. Hitchin baptized those fields as Higgs fields because in the context of physics and gauge theory, they describe similar particles to those described by the Higgs bosson. Later, Simpson used the name Higgs bundle for a holomorphic bundle together with a Higgs field. Today, Higgs bundles are the subject of research in several areas such as non-abelian Hodge theory, Langlands, mirror symmetry, integrable systems, quantum field theory (QFT), among others. The main purposes here are to introduce these objects, and to present a brief but complete construction of the moduli space of Higgs bundles.

Published: October 2020

En este artículo estudiamos fundamentalmente las denominadas secuencias tipo Turyn y algunos algoritmos heurísticos para generarlas. La importancia de estas secuencias estriba, al menos, en el hecho de que pueden ser empleadas en la construcción de algunas matrices de Hadamard de órdenes 4(3m - 1), donde m es el largo de la secuencia tipo Turyn a través del uso del teorema de Goethals-Seidal. Simplificamos la demostración del teorema de Turyn (ver Teorema 3). Además, hallamos algunos resultados teóricos interesantes (ver Teorema 5). Finalmente, desarrollamos varios algoritmos heurísticos eficientes, comparables a los algoritmos ya conocidos, que generan secuencias tipo Turyn de tamañosmenores o iguales a 40.

Белинский о Квитке
Authors: Лебович Виктория
Published: October 2020

The Ukrainian literary critic Yuriy Boyko stated that Vissarion Grigoryevich Belinsky (1811–1848), the famous Russian literary critic harshly criticized Ukrainian writers who wrote in Ukrainian. In fact, he tried to persuade those who wrote not only in Ukrainian but also in Russian to use only the latter. Belinsky often referred to contemporary Ukrainian literature in his writings. His attitude towards Ukrainian literature and Ukrainian language was rather ambiguous. It was the manifestation of the interest in Ukraine and Ukrainian culture that existed in Russia at that time and also the continuation of the polemics about the existence of the Ukrainian language, which was quite vivid in the first half of the 19th century. The critic believed that the Little Russian language did exist but only in folk poetry of value. Since the time of Peter I, according to Belinsky, due to the separation of estates, noblemen began to speak Russian and at the same time, the Little Russian language spoken by people began to deteriorate. His categorical and unfair conclusion is that there is no Little Russian language but there is a regional Little Russian dialect, such as Belarusian, Siberian, and other similar regional dialects.

The paper is devoted to Belinsky’s evaluation of the oeuvre of Hryhory Kvitka-Os- novyanenko (1778–1843), the Ukrainian writer and playwright. In his writings from 1839 to 1846, Belinsky analyzed and sometimes only mentioned Kvitka’s prosaic and dramatic works written in Russian or translated from Ukrainian into Russian. On the one hand, Be- linsky characterized Kvitka as a “wonderful talent” and “an excellent master” but, on the other hand, he called him ironically “the first Russian writer”, mentioning his “mediocrity” and “bad taste”. On the one hand, Belinsky spoke about witty, fascinating, and original works but, on the other, he called Kvitka’s writings artificial or late imitations.

The reasons for such ambiguous attitude of Belinsky towards the Ukrainian language and literature, and in particular to Kvitka’s works, are the above-mentioned polemics about the Ukrainian language and literature, the juxtaposition of the patriarchal Ukrainian village subjected to the “disastrous” influence of Russia, and the fact that most Ukrainian writers grouped around the retrograde Mayak, an ardent opponent of Otechestvennye zapiski. The whole problem was not sufficiently explored theoretically, thus Belinsky had no opportu- nity to rely on authoritative research. The level of development of the so-called new Ukrai- nian literature also influenced the critic’s opinion.
Recent experimental enhancement techniques applied in the receiver part of the parabolic trough collector – A review
Authors: Al-Oran O. , Lezsovits F.
Published: October 2020

Recently, the thermal performance of the parabolic trough collector (PTC), augmented to be more applicable and efficient, received intensive research. These studies aimed to improve heat transfer in the receiver part, in order to decrease the heat loss, and enhance the heat transfer to the thermal fluid. Many previous review papers focused on the numerical sides rather than the experimental side. Several research papers recommended doing more research in the experimental field; in order to decrease the gap between the numerical and experimental results, as well as increase the confidence level of what has been done in the theoretical field researches. Regarding the recommendations of the recent papers to decrease the gap between numerical and experimental aspects, this review paper focused on the recent experimental research related to thermal enhancement performance in the receiver part of the parabolic solar collector. In this research, different categories of the enhancement methods are discussed in detail through this review, namely nanofluids, surface modifications, and inserts models or the two categories combined together. We discussed these categories for different parabolic troughs considering only the recent experimental research between the period from 2014 up to 2019. Some parameters were discussed, such as the main dimensions of the examined receiver and parabolic collector. Moreover, types of nanoparticle specifications and preparation methods with different base fluids were highlighted. In addition, we discussed different aspects of using inserts models and inlet and outlet surface modification methods. Finally, the main thermal efficiency and thermal performance enhancement results for each work were presented.

This paper deals with the design problem of a robust fault estimation (FE)/ faulttolerant control (FTC) scheme for wind turbines (WT) in the finite frequency domain (FF). First, an adaptive fuzzy H∞ observer is constructed to simultaneously reconstruct the WT states and faults within the FF range. Throughout the observer analysis, it is only assumed that faults, uncertainties, and disturbances are bounded, which coincide with the practical requirements. In the second stage, based on the observer information, an active FTC method is proposed to stabilize the faulty WT. The controller and observer gain matrices are extracted employing the Lyapunov theory, where constraints are expressed as a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The Simulation results illustrate the best performances of the suggested strategy.

Tüm hastalara ait demografik veriler, operasyon öncesi lökosit sayısı ve ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) skoru, operasyon tipi, operasyon süresi, ülser yerleşim yeri, ülser çapı, operasyona bağlı komplikasyon durumu, operasyona bağlı cerrahi dışı komplikasyon durumu ve hastanede kalış süresi kayıt altına alındı. Bulgular: Çalışmamızda iki grup arasında yaş, cinsiyet, preoperatif dönemde belirlenen ASA skoru ile preoperatif dönemdeki lökosit sayısı açısından istatistiksel fark tespit edilmemiştir (sırasıyla p=0.078, p=0.393, p=0.106, p=0.104). Ülser yerleşim yeri açısından da iki grup arasında istatistiksel fark belirlenmezken; ülser çapının LO grubunda istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede daha yüksek olduğu gösterilmiştir (sırasıyla p=0.313, p=0.005). Operasyon süresi ve hastanede kalış süresinin LO grubunda anlamlı olarak kısa olduğu belirlenmiştir (sırasıyla p=0.002, p
Las narrativas de violencia y el genocidio en Guatemala: consideraciones desde la justicia transicional
Authors:   Universidad de Guadalajara México, González Chávez María
Published: October 2020

Este trabajo problematiza sobre narrativas de violencia desde la perspectiva de la responsabilidad del ente comunicador, y la necesidad de reflexionar sobre la transmisión de eventos crueles e inhumanos. La línea argumentativa sostiene que se puede caer en dos extremos: la banalización o la retraumatización. Como caso concreto se exploran las narrativas del genocidio en Guatemala. Ante esto, se propone un diálogo con el paradigma de la Justicia Transicional que permita enfocar el discurso desde el derecho de las víctimas contribuyendo a un efecto humanizador.

Un conflicto armado de ya seis décadas en Colombia desplazó de manera forzada a casi ocho millones de personas, entre ellas, algunas fueron forzadas a salir del país. La firma del acuerdo de paz con la guerrilla de las Farc-Ep creó una institucionalidad para la justicia transicional y del esclarecimiento de la verdad en la que la memoria histórica es fundamental. La sociedad civil exiliada también ha tomado parte en la reconstrucción de la memoria colectiva mediante narraciones expresadas en diversos espacios. Este artículo analiza desde un marco teórico de la memoria y a través de los informes del CNMH y de diferentes acciones desde la sociedad civil, cómo se ha relatado la memoria desde el exilio en el post-acuerdo
La construcción social de plataformas digitales y la experiencia de la vida cotidiana ¿cómo funcionan los objetos técnicos en época de confinamiento social?
Authors:   Flacso Ecuador, Cerbino Mauro , Ángulo Nathalia
Published: October 2020

Este artículo busca analizar las experiencias vividas y construidas a través de las tecnologías y sus técnicas de información y comunicación en medio de la pandemia mundial. Por supuesto este ejercicio de indagar en las realidades, tan particulares en los distintos órdenes de la vida social, implica adentrarnos en las nuevas formas de intercambio social y en las distintas prácticas comunicativas en esta época de confinamiento, que ni son tan nuevas y en ciertos casos no tan comunicativas. La investigación, de corte cualitativo e interpretativo, consideró la morfología de uso de la plataforma ZOOM en relación a la experiencia de la vida cotidiana (en los ámbitos afectivos y laborales) a través de la discusión con docentes investigadores de Ecuador, Brasil y Chile. Se observó principalmente que el mercado es el que determina las reglas con las que se configuran las distintas dimensiones vitales. El mercado, de la mano con distintas tecnologías e Internet, construyen los nuevos espacios sociales con nuevas posiciones sociales. En este entramado se identifican subjetividades que, a través de las máquinas intentan organizar la vida y los afectos en función de lo que gobiernos y empresas nos han vendido como “nueva normalidad”.

En las dos últimas décadas se ha dado un fuerte crecimiento de las ciudades en Ecuador, apareciendo una ingente cantidad de nuevos núcleos urbanos, y consolidándose nuevas ciudades intermedias y redes urbanas, que han tenido una escasa atención por parte de los estudios urbanos en el país, centrándose la amplia mayoría de casos de estudio en Quito, Guayaquil y Cuenca en este orden, con espacios y casos de estas ciudades muy predominantes.
The Problems of Medical Narrative
Authors:   Novosibirsk State Medical University, Russian Federation, Barbashina Evelina ,   Institute of Philosophy and Law of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Science, Novosibirsk
Published: October 2020

The significance of the analysis of medical narrative is determined by its dissemination in recent decades in the context of humanization and individualization of medicine. Comparative content analysis of the texts shows that ‘subjective understanding’ (F. Schleiermacher), ‘inner experience’ and methods of descriptive psychology (W. Dilthey) are essential components of contemporary narrative analysis. The ‘narrative turn’ in socio-humanitarian knowledge became possible only after the questions about the genuine existence of man and the ways of understanding his individuality were worked out in various directions of the continental philosophy of the twentieth century. The growing popularity of the narrative approach in the field of medicine is due to theoretical, methodological, and practical changes that occurred in medicine: the rejection of the priority of the biomedical model of health, the principle of paternalism, objectification of the patient and disease. Changes in the structure of diseases also played an important role in its spread. However, as the analysis of the content and methodological foundations of the medical narrative has shown, one should not absolutize its possibilities in solving the problems of patient individualization, preserving his/her identity and, ultimately, in optimizing the treatment process.
Subject, Space, Time: How to Read Ancient Chinese Text
Authors:   Center for the Study of Chinese Culture of the Institute of the Far East, Russian Academy of Science, Moscow, Krushinskiy Andrey
Published: October 2020

The epoch-making discovery of the phenomenon of non-linear organization of the ancient Chinese text by the remarkable Leningrad sinologist-philosopher V.S. Spirin (1929–2002) radically expanded the horizons of our perception of the written heritage of Ancient China, outlining the way to overcome the prejudice about linear reading of the ancient Chinese classics as supposedly the only acceptable. At the same time, Spirin’s discovery of the multidimensionality of the ancient Chinese text seriously challenges the concept of the subject in the context of ancient Chinese discourse. After all, a break with the linear ordering of the text is tantamount to destroying the unity of the speech intention and the subjectivity of the speaker corresponding to it, constituted by his speaking. Accordingly, the figure of a storyteller telling a story should either disappear, leaving behind a void of subjectlessness, or give way to a completely different subjectivity. The proposed article raises the question of the nature and character of this subjectivity, which is fundamentally different from the narrator’s figure. It is shown that the synchronous integrity of the multidimensional image (Xiang 象), which distinguishes the Chinese hieroglyphic writing, has its own temporality, which allows it to be an alternative to the diachronic unity of the narrative. It is argued that the temporality of the image-xiang extends to gestaltic multidimensionality of hexagram graphics, endowing the latter with the corresponding multidimensional temporal structure. It is the hexagram time (guashi 卦時) that assumes the functions of a narrative for the temporal unification of the past and the future, thereby providing the necessary prerequisites for the emergence of a special kind of subjectivity. The guashi-hexagram time is determined by the graphic structure of the hexagram. This is the most general characteristic of the meaning of a particular hexagram as an era, providing space for the game between the era and the individual. As a result, we have a two-person game, constituting a game subjectivity, consisting of the game interaction of an individual and a hexagram time. It is argued that it is precisely the subordination of the line of discourse to the course of the game that sometimes makes it loop, and then the text lining up along this line requires its reader to read it backward, so to speak.
Forms of Worldview and Specifics of Philosophy
Authors:   Krasnoyarsk State Agrarian University, Russian Federation, Kruglova Inna , Romanova Elena ,   Krasnoyarsk State Agrarian University, Russian Federation
Published: October 2020

This article raises the problem of the constancy of philosophy, science, art, religion, and politics as forms of worldview that characterize the state of post-mythological consciousness. In this regard, two tasks are solved. First, we trace the genesis of worldview forms in German classical thought in the context of substantiating the idea of the historicity of the absolute (G. Hegel and F. Schelling). Second, the question is raised about the specifics of philosophy as a form of thinking. The authors compare classical and nonclassical approaches (A. Badiou) to solving problems, the conclusions, they have made, are the following. In modern theories, there is a blurring and loss of objectivity of philosophical knowledge. Despite this, philosophy is invariably given the role of a way of thinking about its time. The classical claims of philosophy to the universal content of truth are canceled. Based on the analysis of the concept of A. Badiou, the specificity of philosophy is revealed in the ability to quickly arrange science, art, religion and politics – as a way to create an ideal space in which access to the event of truth is provided. In this connection, it is proposed to define this concept as “operational” in relation to the nature of philosophical knowledge. Philosophy as a reflexive ability uses the operative time of our consciousness, which constitutes subjectivity. Destroying the mytho-ritual scheme of the unity of consciousness, philosophy sets the spiritual topos in which a person lives after leaving the myth.

Dwelling of Volhynians at the End of XIV – the middle of the XVI century
Authors: Tarasiuk Maryna
Published: October 2020

The article discusses the kind of a typical house of the medieval Volhynian of the late XIV – middle XVI centuries. It is based on narrative and archaeological sources. The author explores the stages of building a house, material options and the help of craftsmen, external and internal appearance of the house, a variety of household utensils. It was found out that the family yard consisted mostly of living quarters, stables, farm pits and gardens. Wealthy townspeople placed baths in the yard, obtaining permission from the administration. The construction of the house was the business of the owner, who, in addition to the involvement of artisans, was himself a worker. An essential attribute of the dwelling was the furnace, which was decorated with tiles of geometric or floral ornament. Until the beginning of the sixteenth century, the living quarters were wooden, while the administrative and church buildings were made of stone. This was one of the causes of city fires that local authorities tried to fight, limiting candle light and hiring a city security guard. It is noted that in order to fill the houses, the market was filled with wide range of products from local manufactures, from shovels to variety of colored glasses, bowls and other kitchen essentials. It was proved that the home decoration was influenced by owner’s activities, his well-being and aesthetic preferences typical for the residents of the region. It was also determined that the dwellings of Volhynian were rich enough. In addition to that, the development of the city was monitored by the local authorities, which often abused its power.
