Microimpurities in pyrite of gold ore occurrences of the Manitanyrd ridge (the Polar Urals)
Authors: Efanova Ludmila , Kovalchuk Natalia , Mayorova Tatyana
Published: July 2024

The microelement composition was studied of pyrite, the main concentrator of gold in sulfidization zones in ore occurrences of the Manitanyrd Ridge. The ore mineralization is assigned to the gold-sulfide-quartz vein and gold-sulfide types. We determined a wide range of ore-forming elements, associated with gold in pyrite. These elements correspond to geochemical features of the late galena-chalcopyrite-sphalerite mineral assemblage of the ore process, as well as to its final stage expressed in the appearance of elements reflecting the mineralogy of gray ores and bismuth sulfosalts. Pyrites from the vein and mineralized zones, from the ores of the deposit and from the secondary lithochemical anomalies, were found to contain the same set of the gold satellite elements: Ag, Cu, Zn, Pb, As. In pyrite of the gold-sulfide-quartz veins, Au has close correlations with the main elements of the ore association. In pyrite of the mineralized zones, all the correlations between Au and the ore-forming elements are absent. The pair-wise correlation between the ore-forming elements in these zones also changes completely. It is demonstrated that the identified differences in correlations between Au and the ore-forming elements in pyrite are a criterion for assessment of the lithochemical anomalies and allow one to propose a strategy of prospecting for new ore objects in the Manitanyrd region.

O objetivo do artigo é analisar o conto "O Filho", de Rubem Fonseca, examinando,  por meio de uma abordagem semiótica, como os personagens e os conflitos são construídos e manipulados na narrativa e a relação dos sujeitos com o objeto (o bebê). A análise se desenvolve em três níveis: fundamental, narrativo e discursivo. No nível fundamental, são exploradas as oposições semânticas que estruturam o texto, enquanto no narrativo são identificados os papéis dos personagens e suas relações com os objetos de valor. No nível discursivo, destaca-se a presença de uma defesa ideológica por parte do autor, embora não explicitada, deixando ao leitor a interpretação dessa posição. A segunda parte do artigo discorre sobre a concepção de texto e textualidade, considerando-o como um "todo de sentido" que se estabelece na interação entre autor/leitor. A intertextualidade e a relação entre autor/texto/leitor são aspectos fundamentais abordados. "O Filho" é uma narrativa que traz no enredo a história de uma jovem, menor de idade, grávida de pai desconhecido, que inicialmente é manipulada pela mãe para que fizesse um aborto. No decorrer da narrativa, a mãe muda de ideia e planeja vender o bebê da filha para comprar uma dentadura. Há uma demonstração da brutalidade, perversão e monstruosidade. Rubem Fonseca fez uma crítica severa ao comércio de bebês e abordou os conflitos, as manipulações e a inversão de valores em relação à vida e à ganância por dinheiro.

Transfer of affective connotations in the basic lexicon of Spanish learners of L2 English
Authors: Blanco Canales Ana , Pérez-García Elisa
Published: July 2024

This study addresses emotion in second languages with the aim of understanding how late bilinguals incorporate the affective connotations of core vocabulary into their mental lexicon. Specifically, it examines whether there are emotionality differences between the L2 and the native languages of reference, and whether linguistic competence, contact with the L2 and its culture, and attitudes explain the different tendencies. For this purpose, a group of Spanish learners of L2 English assessed a corpus of 300 words on the affective dimensions of valence and arousal. Different statistical analyses showed that English learners value the lexical repertoire in a very similar way to Spanish speakers, differing markedly from English speakers. It is mainly concluded that the mother tongue exerts a significant influence on this perceptual process and that the emotional connotations of the L2 are incorporated into the mental lexicon through translations from the L1 as a result of an emotional transfer.
Szövegkohézió és fordítói szabadság. Egy angol forma- és felhívásközpontú szöveg magyar és olasz célnyelvi újraalkotásainak szövegszempontú elemzése
Authors: Szentirmay Piroska
Published: July 2024

A tanulmány egy angol forrásnyelvi verset vet össze annak két magyar és két olasz fordításával kvalitatív szemléletű szövegtani módszerek alkalmazásával a grammatikai és lexikai kohézióra fókuszálva. Az elemzés célja megfigyelni a szövegszintű fordítói átváltási műveleteket, különös tekintettel a szövegkohézió és lexikai ismétlés (re)produkciójára. Az eredmények azt mutatják, hogy a fordítás során jelentős mértékben változnak a szövegkohéziót biztosító eszközök főként a nyelvi a rendszerek különbségei miatt. Ezzel szemben a műfaji sajátosságok – a felhívásközpontúsággal kombinált formaközpontú szövegben a felhívás funkció, valamint az esztétikai aspektusok dominanciája – nagy fokú szabadságot biztosítanak a fordítók számára, amellyel különböző mértékben élnek. A vizsgálat rávilágít a nyelvi rendszerek különbségei, a szövegtípusok és a szövegszintű fordítói műveletek közötti összefüggésekre, amiktől a kommunikációs cél megvalósulása is függ.

Authors: Liu Xiaoshu , Tang Daoyan , Qi Min , He Jian-Qing
Published: July 2024

Introduction

Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is a severe extra-pulmonary tuberculosis with high fatality. This meta-analysis aimed to assess the impact of linezolid on TBM treatment outcomes.

Methods

We searched multiple databases for studies published up to May 18, 2024 comparing the effects of linezolid on TBM. Meta-analysis was conducted using Review Manager 5.4.

Results

Our findings indicated that linezolid may reduce treatment failure risk (RR = 0.42 (0.20, 0.89), p = 0.02) and improve temperature recovery (RR = 1.56 (1.21, 2.02), p < 0.001) in TBM patients.

Conclusions

The analysis suggests a positive association between linezolid treatment and therapeutic improvements, with no significant adverse reactions reported.
Pepsinogen I, pepsinogen II, gastrin-17, and Helicobacter pylori serological biomarkers in the diagnosis of precursor lesions of gastric cancer
Authors: Sánchez-López Josefina Yoaly , Díaz-Herrera Luis Carlos , Rizo-de la Torre Lourdes del Carmen
Published: July 2024

Introduction

Atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia are precursor lesions of gastric cancer. The aim of this study was to determine the usefulness of the biomarkers pepsinogen I(PgI), pepsinogen II (PgII), gastrin-17, and H. pylori antibodies in the identification of precursor lesions.

Methods

We studied 129 patients with gastric symptoms. The biomarker status was determined using GastroPanel by means of the ELISA-technique.

Results

Biomarkers detected atrophy in 14% of the subjects, and 49.6% had positive antibodies for H. pylori. A PgI/PgII ratio < 3 was an important risk biomarker for precursor lesions in our population (OR = 9.171, 95% CI: 1.723–48.799, p = 0.009); however, biomarkers showed low accuracy with histopathological study.

Conclusions

In the Western Mexican population, precursor lesions (AG, IM) are common in adults (45%) with dyspepsia but infrequent in children (8%). H. pylori infection was detected in 41.3% of adults and 16.0% of children. Of the studied biomarkers, a PgI/PgII ratio < 3 was an important risk factor for precursor lesions such as AG or IM in our population, with an OR of 9.171 (95% CI: 1.723–48.799, p = 0.009).
The Effect of Social Media Influencers on Brand Trust and the Moderating Role of Brand Reputation on Brand Commitment and Brand Loyalty
Authors: Asad Shuomaila
Published: July 2024

Firms need help retaining and attracting new customers in the prevailing competitive era. Therefore, besides other strategies, they have started using social media influencers to enhance their brand image and trust. Given its importance, the study has examined the impact of social media influencers (expertise, authenticity, attractiveness, and homophily) on brand trust. It also examined the effect of brand trust on brand commitment and loyalty. The study also examined the moderating effect of brand reputation on brand commitment and loyalty. The study collected data from Karachi’s social media users. The study found that the social media influencer’s expertise and homophily positively affect brand trust. Social media influencer authenticity and attractiveness insignificantly affect brand trust. Brand trust promotes brand commitment and brand loyalty. Brand reputation significantly moderates brand trust and brand commitment. However, brand reputation insignificantly moderates brand trust and brand loyalty. We recommend that firms select authentic and attractive influencers while selecting social media influencers. We also suggest that firms confirm that their recruited social media share entertaining content and keep the followers engaged. Brand trust promotes brand commitment and brand loyalty. Therefore, we suggest that firms focus on increasing brand trust through adequate marketing strategies.
The Effects of Social Media Influencers' Self-Disclosure, Source Credibility, and Parasocial Relationships on Brand Trust and its Consequences
Authors: Abid Azhar Kaukab , Shah Zubair , Ahmed Hassaan , Iqbal Nayab
Published: July 2024

The availability of social media to most of the population has significantly increased in the present era. Social media users now have many options to access all kinds of information for their personal and job-related information. Many users seek opinions from social media influencers about goods and services because of their prosocial relationships. Past studies document that, besides other factors, an essential precursor of social media influencers is "intimate relationships between social media users and followers." Thus, the study has examined the effect of "self-disclosure on parasocial relationships and source credibility." It also examined the effect of "parasocial relationship and source credibility on brand trust." In addition, it examined the effect of "brand trust on commitment and brand loyalty." The study has collected a sample of 472 students from leading local universities in Karachi. It focused on them because the students are active users of social media. The study documents that self-disclosure positively affects parasocial relationships and source credibility. Parasocial relationships and source credibility promote brand trust.  In addition, brand trust is a significant precursor of commitment and brand loyalty. These findings are crucial for understanding the dynamics of social media influencers and their impact on brand trust and loyalty. It also provides valuable insights for marketers and researchers in the domain of social media influencers.
A Metapsicologia do Analista
Authors: Zimerman Bizzi Idete
Published: July 2024

Através do conceito original de subjetividade primária do analista, a autora destaca, examina e descreve analiticamente elementos subjetivos de natureza própria, idiossincrática da pessoa do analista, ativos na práxis analítica. Caracterizados pelas qualidades de unicidade e alteridade no campo analítico, tais fatores colocam em relevo e abrem novas perspectivas para o estudo do fator da metapsicologia do analista, diversa e complementar da metapsicologia do paciente. Sob a perspectiva intrassubjetiva, a subjetividade primária do analista é a matriz anímica, rocha-mãe sobre a qual repousa a escuta e sensibilidade analítica, podendo originar uma contribuição constitutiva e, de forma complementar, uma contribuição institutiva para o encontro dual. Sob a perspectiva intersubjetiva, os conceitos originais de contratransferência criativa, estrangeira e viciosa privilegiam a observação da vitalidade ou empobrecimento analítico de que a subjetividade primária se investe na trajetória analítica. Em circunstâncias habituais, a subjetividade primária do analista contém e faz vibrar, como um diapasão, o conteúdo mental do paciente. Sobrecarregada, porém, tende a funcionar como um diapasão rígido, em que o encontro das extremidades metálicas produz ruídos inaudíveis, ou, inversamente, como um diapasão hiper-reativo, gerando sons amplificados, excessivos, que impedem a natural rêverie, e, por consequência, limitam a formação do terceiro analítico intersubjetivo.
A Interpretação
Authors: Harthley Manuela
Published: July 2024

A interpretação psicanalítica, tendo como referência os conceitos da bi-lógica desenvolvidos inicialmente por Ignacio Matte-Blanco —, remete-nos para uma multiplicidade de interpretações equivalentes. Embora formuladas de formas diversas, por diferentes analistas, têm em comum pertencerem à mesma classe proposicional. A interpretação permite-nos, pela translação, passar da simetria à assimetria, através da simetria, segundo Matte-Blanco. Neste artigo, partimos da simetria emocional para estabelecer diferenças e similitudes no processo de transformação através da análise. A experiência emocional é o foco deste trabalho analítico. É a capacidade do paciente pensar as suas experiências emocionais, tolerando a dor psíquica, que lhe permitirá atingir a sua verdade.
Abordagem Psicanalítica Institucional em Territórios de Adições e Perturbação Borderline da Personalidade
Authors: Pires Sandra
Published: July 2024

No presente trabalho, visa-se ilustrar, a partir da apresentação do caso clínico de uma jovem com problemas de adição e perturbação borderline da personalidade, acompanhada em psicoterapia psicodinâmica em contexto institucional ambulatório, a pertinência do pensamento psicanalítico e da compreensão da dinâmica transferocontratransferencial no acesso ao funcionamento mental e adesão ao tratamento destes pacientes de difícil acesso (Joseph,1975).
Com base no material clínico e no enfoque conceptual da teoria da relação de objeto de Otto Kernberg (1976), da posição autista-contígua de Thomas Ogden (1989) e dos fenómenos de «formação de segunda pele» de Esther Bick (1968), propõe-se subsidiar a compreensão de manifestações de carácter sensorial que podem figurar nestes pacientes e ser atuadas no palco intersubjetivo da relação terapêutica, como formas de comunicação primitiva e inconsciente que visam recuperar sensações de existir, repor os limites do eu e a conexão emocional ao outro, associadas à precariedade identitária dos limites do self e ansiedades de dissolução ligadas a vivências de desamparo originário. São analisadas implicações clínicas e técnicas desta abordagem, no âmbito da intervenção terapêutica nestes pacientes.
La economía solidaria y del cuidado como propuesta decolonial a la visión eurocéntrica de progreso

Published: July 2024

The objective of this article is to provide elements of analysis to criticize the universalizing visions of the economy, which carries with it the proposal of the progress of colonial modernity that has denied non-market, non-capitalist and anti-patriarchal socioeconomic thoughts and practices. Making visible the existence of other epistemic and ontological matrices of significance of the economic in social existence will allow us to advance towards a decolonization of economic science, which will propose conceiving progress from the situated particularities of each historical context, and that will allow us to recover the unity of the public and private sphere, the repoliticization of the domestic space, and the need to recover control not only of the means of production, but also of work, subjectivity, collective authority, sexuality and nature.

The potential and development opportunities of ecotourism in Georgia
Authors: Tchiotashvili David , Chitadze Khaliana
Published: July 2024

The development of sustainable tourism in Georgia, its economic, political and social importance in the international tourism market depends to a significant extent on the development of such a type of tourism, which is in high demand today, is in the interest of the population of almost all countries and provides the opportunity to receive environmentally friendly tourist services, as well as the protection of the environment, the country's ecological safety and the preservation of biodiversity as much as possible. The main goal of the work is to study and investigate the potential of ecotourism in Georgia and the challenges in this field and the opportunities for its development. However, it is worth noting how deliberately and systematically the potential of ecotourism will be utilized and the existing opportunities will be used, which can almost completely change the current reality in terms of traditional tourism. Based on the fact that, according to various estimates, ecotourism accounts for approximately 10% of capital turnover in the international tourism business.

Authors: Грицюк Ірина , Просіна Ольга
Published: July 2024

У статті окреслено основні теоретичні погляди на тьторство у вищих навчальних закладах. Визначено, що це важлива складова та вимога часу. В міжнародному освітньому середовищі тьторінг – це звичне явище. Активно впроваджується практика тьюторства і у школах. Та у ВНЗ впровадження даного досвіду роботи стикається з певними труднощами, в більшості випадків, яких пов'язано із фінансуванням даного виду діяльності викладача. Виокремлено основні покликання тьюторства у ВНЗ. Адже, університети націлені на особистісно-орієнтований підхід до кожного здобувача освіти, на формування індивідуальної траєкторії. В сучасних умовах, коли існує перенасичення інформаційного простору; коли часто, нівелюються знання та досвід; студенти втрачають мотивацію до навчання, інтерес до власного розвитку та вдосконалення. І маючи, викладача-наставника, який володіє психологічними знаннями та навичками, можна активізувати студента, актуалізувати його знання та спрямувати актуальні шляхи розвитку.

Робляться висновки щодо розподілу часу на певні види діяльності, оцінки студентами власної успішності в досягненні цілей, використання в щоденній практиці методів тайм-менеджменту. У важких умовах, які супроводжують життєдіяльність української молоді, студенти підкреслюють важливість самодисципліни, наполегливості, організованості для досягнення мети. Попри складні життєві умови, психологічні труднощі, що викликані війною, сучасна студентська молодь намагається ефективно використовувати свій час та досягати цілей, що поставлені ними.

Qeyd edilir ki, müasir dövrün tələblərinə uyğun turizm məhsullarının yaradılması ölkəmizdə kreativ iqtisadiyyatın inkişafına böyük təkan verə bilər. Mədəni-dərketmə turizminin xüsusiyyətlərini nəzərə alaraq vurğulamalıyıq ki, onun mühüm tərkib hissəsi olan muzeylərin zamanın tələblərinə uyğun inkişafı və yaranan reallıqlara cavab verən yeni muzeylərin yaradılması biliklər cəmiyyəti və iqtisadiyyatının formalaşmasında əhəmiyyətli rol oynayacaq. Yeni muzeylərin yaradılması həm turizm və iqtisadiyyatın inkişafı, həm də Azərbaycan həqiqətlərinin dünya ictimaiyyətinə çatdırılması baxımından aktual və məqsədəuyğundur. Biliklər cəmiyyəti və onunla paralel inkişaf edən biliklər iqtisadiyyatının formalaşmasında muzeylərin rolu danılmazdır. Kreativ sənayelər isə biliklər iqtisadiyyatının nailiyyətlərinə əsaslanır. Məhz muzey funksiyalarının genişlənməsi, bu müəssisələrin müasir cəmiyyətlərin həyatında fəal iştirakı, biliklərin həm toplanması, həm də yaranması işində muzeylərin mühüm məkanlara çevrilməsi bu müəssisələrin kreativ sənayelərlə sıx təmasına geniş imkanlar açır. Alimlər qeyd edir ki, “kreativ sənayelər iqtisadi sektorda yeni ideyalar və müasir texnologiyaların qaynağıdır. Yaradıcı komponent muzey kolleksiyalarını təmamilə yeni şəkildə təqdim etməyə imkan yaradır. Məzmundan başqa kreativ sənayelər beynəlxalq bazara uyğun məhsul və xidmət təqdim edir, bu isə muzeyin ümumdünya mədəni məkanında tanınmasına və rəqabətliliyinin artmasına təkan verir” [1, s. 67]. Məqalədə yeni yaradılacaq muzeylər sırasında şəhər tarixi muzeyləri və ekomuzeylər önə çəkilir, bu kimi muzeylərin xüsusiyyətləri təhlil olunur və bu məkanların Azərbaycanda yaradılması zərurəti əsaslandırılır. Həmçinin məqalədə turizmin inkişafı, biomüxtəlifliyin qorunması və ətraf mühitin mühafizəsi məqsədi ilə təşkil olunan “yaşıl yollar” haqqında da danışılır. Bildirilir ki, bu kimi təşəbbüslər “Yaşıl dünya naminə həmriylik ili”nə də mühüm töhfə olacaq.
