Bł. Józef i Wiktoria Ulmowie jako wzór odpowiedzialności za drugiego człowieka
Authors: Picur Tomasz
Published: October 2024

Dnia 10 września 2023 r. w Markowej k. Łańcuta miała miejsce beatyfikacja Józefa i Wiktorii Ulmów oraz ich siedmiorga dzieci. Nowi błogosławieni zginęli w czasie II wojny światowej z rąk nazistów za udzielenie Żydom schronienia w swoim domu. Zeznania świadków, jak również zachowane dokumenty i pamiątki jednoznacznie potwierdzają, że ratując ich życie, Ulmowie kierowali się wiarą, a szczególnie ewangelicznym ideałem miłości bliźniego wyrażonym w przypowieści o miłosiernym Samarytaninie. Wynosząc ich do chwały ołtarzy, Kościół pragnie nie tylko docenić ich heroiczną postawę i ofiarę życia, ale również ukazać jako przykład do naśladowania dla współczesnych i przyszłych pokoleń. Wśród wielu cech składających się na duchowo-moralny profil rodziny z Markowej, jednym z najbardziej charakterystycznych rysów jej świętości jest bez wątpienia żywe i głęboko ewangeliczne poczucie odpowiedzialności za bliźniego. Niniejszy artykuł przybliża teologiczno-moralną wizję odpowiedzialności za drugiego człowieka, ukazuje jej realizację w życiu rodziny Ulmów oraz zwraca uwagę na jej aktualizację w kontekście współczesnych wyzwań i problemów.
Zmartwychwstanie Pańskie w pasterskim nauczaniu Abpa Józefa Michalika
Authors: Zawałeń Radosław
Published: October 2024

Celebrowanie Misterium Paschalnego Jezusa Chrystusa stoi w centrum życia Kościoła. Tym samym przepowiadanie prawdy o wydarzeniach poranka wielkanocnego zdaje się być pierwszą powinnością tych, którzy dzisiaj głoszą Ewangelię. Stojący przed Sanhedrynem apostołowie bez wahania zresztą wyznają: „Bo my nie możemy nie mówić tego, cośmy widzieli i słyszeli” (Dz 4,20). Świadomość zmartwychwstania w pierwotnym Kościele zasadza się na formułach wiary, katechezach paschalnych św. Piotra i św. Pawła. Samo zaś uzasadnienie faktu zmartwychwstania oparte jest na pustym grobie, chrystofaniach paschalnych i ukonstytuowaniu się wspólnoty wyznającej żywą wiarę w zmartwychwstałego Chrystusa. Stąd też zadaniem niniejszego artykułu jest zaprezentowanie pasterskiego nauczania Abpa Józefa Michalika, metropolity przemyskiego w latach 1993-2016, na temat zmartwychwstania Pańskiego, który uwzględnia w swoim przepowiadaniu wiarygodność rezurekcji oraz jej znaczenie w życiu chrześcijańskim.

Published: October 2024

The study investigated how clinical supervision affects the personal and professional development of first-time supervisees. The explanatory sequential mixed methods research design was employed in the study. Quantitative data was collected using a single group pretest-posttest experimental design to evaluate the impact of supervision on the personal and professional development of counselors in training. Individual interviews were conducted with 51 volunteer participants who were counselors in training at a state university in western Türkiye. Paired-sample t-tests were used to analyze the quantitative data, while content analysis was employed for the qualitative data. The findings showed that supervision significantly enhanced the counselors in training's effective counselor characteristics and self-awareness management strategies. However, there were no significant differences in hindering self-awareness and professional disposition. The qualitative analysis revealed that counselors in training who participated in supervision gained a deeper understanding of counseling procedures and techniques, increased trust in the profession, and improved self-efficacy. Counselors in training also highlighted the positive impact of their supervisor and group supervision format on their development. The results of the study suggest the significance of supervision in counselor education. It is recommended that the variables included in the current research and the effect of supervision should be examined in more studies.

Published: October 2024

Gastritis, better known as ulcer disease, is a disorder of the abdomen that patients most often complain about and is a disease that is often found in clinics when seen from the symptoms experienced. The Indonesian Ministry of Health stated that currently, Indonesia is in fourth place as the country with the highest incidence of gastritis. Based on Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) data in 2018, gastritis is one of the 10 most common diseases in hospitalized patients in Indonesia with 30,154 cases or 4.9%. The number of gastritis cases is considered quite high because the prevalence of cases is 274,396 out of the 258,704,900 total population of Indonesia. This study aims to explore the histopathological features of the gastric mucosa and the characteristics of patients with gastritis. This study used a descriptive method with retrospective data collection from the medical record archives of the MRCCC Siloam Semanggi Hospital during the period 2022. The research sample included all m edical records of patients with gastritis who underwent an endoscopic examination. Of the 252 patients who met the inclusion criteria, 59 patients (23.4%) were diagnosed with gastritis in the age range of 41 to 50 years. More women experience gastritis than men, with 137 patients (54.4%). In terms of histopathology, 171 patients (67.9%) were diagnosed with chronic non-active gastritis. From the assessment of the corpus and antrum, it was found that 121 patients (48%) had no atrophy, 249 patients (98.8%) had no intestinal metaplasia, and 248 patients (98.4%) had no Helicobacter pylori. Therefore, it is important to carry out an early examination and endoscopic examination so that medical treatment can be carried out as soon as possible.

Authors: Waheed Olalekan Hammed , Ikenna Augustine Onyegbadue , Mathurine Guiawa
Published: October 2024

In Nigeria, there will inevitably be ongoing difficulties with 330kv power transmission lines. This drop in insulation strength between the phase conductors and the earthed screen encircling the conductors may be the cause of the difficulties that have emerged on the electric transmission circuit. Many scholars have approached these problems in different ways. Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), Wavelet Transform, Fourier Transform, S-Transform, and Fourier Series are a few of the techniques utilized to address these transmission line problems. It has not been widely and thoroughly adopted to solve problems in Power System Engineering, according to numerous study studies on artificial neural networks (ANNs). Consequently, the 330kV Power Transmission Line problems have been addressed in this research by using artificial neural networks (ANNs). the training efficacy of any ANN challenges diagnosis system. The MATLAB/Simulink R2018a was utilized to conduct simulations on an ANN challenges detector. The ANN detector was trained with pre-fault and fault signals as inputs, allowing for the identification of different types of line difficulties. Results indicated that at Mean Square Error (MSE) of 1.6856e-5, the best training performance for the challenges was attained. At Regression, it approaches zero (9.8958e-1). Because it met the requirements, the simulation's outcome is acceptable.

Interpersonal Relationship Between Parents and Its Impact on Mental Health of Children
Authors: Gunel Ogtay Shahinzade
Published: October 2024

The family plays an important role in the development of a person as an active participant in the life of society. When a child is born and grows up in a family, the system of relationships in the family that has been developing for years has an impact on the child's psychology. They are influenced by the interpersonal relationships of adults in the family with each other and with their children, i.e. communication, behavior, and attitude toward the child. This effect ultimately affects the child's way of understanding the world, his attitude toward the environment, and even his way of thinking. It would be wrong to consider this effect as negative or positive in the same direction. Because under certain conditions, a child's susceptibility to family influence can have different results depending on how he reacts to these influences. If the educational influence exerted by adults can be compared with existing social norms, the child will most likely follow the model that is considered positive for him. But life experience and observations show that the educational power of the family, especially in the child's preschool age, is high, and during this period the influence of adults in the family on the child can be of primary importance. Therefore, we have sufficient grounds to speak about a direct connection between personality traits and even the formation of a way of thinking and methods of educational influence in the family.

Загадка Саратока: проблемы локализации царства во времени и пространстве
Authors: Анисимов Константин Александрович
Published: October 2024

В статье рассматривается проблема правления Саратока, фракийского правителя, известного только по монетам. Эти монеты неоднократно привлекали внимание специалистов, благодаря чему был накоплен значительный набор фактов. Однако имеющиеся гипотезы, на наш взгляд, не раскрывают исторического контекста появления этих монет. В рамках работы рассматриваются основные гипотезы локализации его владений и датировки правления. Отвергаются предположения о том, что Сараток был не царем, а могущественным «парадинастом», а также попытка отождествления его со знаменитым царем одрисов Ситалком. На основании исследований нумизматов и данных письменных источников предлагается следующая гипотеза: Сараток – царь одрисов, соправитель Севта I, правивший около 424–407 гг. до н. э. в верхнем течении рек Марица и Тунджа. Исходя из этого, с его правлением связываются важные структурные изменения в Одрисском царстве.

Published: October 2024

Medicines play an important role in saving lives, maintaining health, preventing disease, curbing epidemics and promoting national economic development. This is why people, governments, the pharmaceutical industry and research institutes pay for drugs. However, to do this, the drugs must be safe, effective and of high quality. This means that the development, production, import, export and distribution of drugs are regulated to ensure that they meet prescribed standards. To effectively regulate medicines, the government has established strong National Regulatory Authorities (NRAs) to ensure that medicines are effectively regulated to protect and promote public health. Pharmaceutical regulations around the world play an important role in ensuring the safety, quality and efficacy of medicines. Medicines regulatory agencies are responsible for enforcing regulations and issuing guidelines for the development, licensing, registration, manufacture, labelling, storage, marketing, distribution, pricing of drugs, drug importation and post marketing studies. While seeking international markets, the pharmaceutical industry must comply with the pharmaceutical regulations of other countries with different regulatory requirements. A single regulatory approach for marketing authorization (MA) applications for medicines in different countries is difficult. Therefore, the Common Technical Document (CTD) was developed to provide a common format for the electronic submission of drug registration applications.

Children and older people like little tablets because they are simpler to swallow. Reduced dosage frequency and improved localization of the drugs are the objectives of controlled drug delivery systems are impacted. Mini tablets provide improved homogeneity and reduce variability in drug release among subjects, increasing the consistency and predictability of treatment. Some scaled-down tablets are accessible, like bio-adhesive, pH-responsive, purgative, pediatric, and oral deteriorating mini tablets. If any kind or explicit clinical requirements, they are intended to meet the patient's necessities. Different strategies for delivering circles, like direct compaction, wet granulation, or dry granulation, are contingent upon the result's ideal properties. Coatings in little vials can be utilized for different purposes, like flavour coatings, dampness or light security, or coatings of altered synthetic substances. The determination of coatings relies upon similarity with the dynamic fixing and the ideal delivery rate. The current article comprehensively reviews the dosage, types, manufacturing and analysis methods, benefits and challenges of the mini tablets, and recent technological advances.

A Nanoemul gel is a topical gel that contains a nanoemulsion dispersed within a gel matrix. The nanoemulsion is generally prepared using high shear mixing ways and contains driblets of an oil painting phase dispersed in an waterless phase stabilized by surfactants or stabilizers. The performing Nanoemul gel has several advantages over traditional conflation- grounded gels, including bettered stability, enhanced medicine penetration, and increased bioavailability. Nanoemul gels have been studied for their eventuality in dermatology and medicine delivery operations, showing promising results in reducing acne lesions and perfecting skin appearance, as well as enhancing medicine delivery and reducing inflammation. The nanoemulgel medicine delivery system is a expression related intervention to ameliorate medicine immersion and remedial profile of lipophilic medicines. An adding trend in nanoemulgel use in recent times has been noticed because of the better adequacy of the medication to the cases due to theirnon-greasy, convenience spreadability, and easy connection and good remedial and safety profile. The factors of the systems have been explored and the styles of medications including high energy styles and low energy styles have been bandied. Different styles were used in characterization of similar delivery system; all of these styles and ways were reviewed compactly. Eventually, the recent exploration about different operations of emulgel in original delivery or systemic delivery has been bandied.

Published: October 2024

Descriptions are given of some localities in northern Norway where the authors sampled land gastropods during a student excursion in summer 1981. Four records are discussed in the light of previous findings and special reference is made to the conclusions of Andersen (1982) on the habitats of terrestrial gastropods in Troms and Nordland counties. For Vallonia pulchella and Clausilia bidentata the records imply a range extension to the east, while Pupilla muscorum is confirmed for eastern Finnmark. The ecological data agree well with the observations of Andersen (1982).
Terrestrial invertebrates of the Faroe Islands: V. Earthworms (Lumbricidae): Distribution and habitats
Authors: Enckell Pehr H. , Rundgren Sten
Published: October 2024

Sampling in the summers of 1978 - 1979 in 112 localities on 18 islands in the Faroe group yielded ten species of earthworms. All ten also occur in neighbouring areas (Iceland, the Hebrides, western Norway) with the exception of Octolasiuin lacteum and Lumbricus castaneus, which have not been found in Iceland. One island (Vágar) harboured all ten species and no island had less than three species. Abundance and number of species were higher where human influence and luxuriance of the vegetation were more apparant. All ten species were found within settlements. Allolobophora caliginosa, Dendrobaena rubida and Lumbricus rubellus were most common and occurred on all islands. The deep-burrowing Lumbricus terrestris, Allolobophora rosea and Octolasium cyaneum were associated with settlements, although A. rosea also occurred in natural habitats, in contrast to the situation in Iceland. Data on habitat distribution and distribution maps are given for all species.

Authors: Garnås Erik
Published: October 2024

Stomach analyses were carried out on 80 - 160 mm long smelts sampled monthly from May 1976 to September 1977. The amount of food was lower from February to April than during the rest of the year. Zooplankton dominated the smelts' food from July to February, while zoobenthic insect larvae and nymphs were more important from March to June. Cladocerans were prefered to copepods during most of the year. From July to April cladocerans made up from 30 to 95% of the diet, while 10 to 60% of the smelts' food in spring and summer consisted of copepods. Benthic copepods occurred in the stomachs almost troughout the year. Daphnia galeata and Bosmina longispina were the most important species in the smelts' diet and they were positively selected, together with Leptodora kindti, Bythotrephes longimanus and Heterocope appendiculata. The most common copepods in the zooplankton, Eudiaptomus gracilis, was negatively selected by the smelts.

Published: October 2024

Eighty-two hooded crows Corvus corone cornix L., 1758, were trapped in December 1980 using a great Norwegian Hooded Crows Trap in Grorud-dalen, Oslo, Norway. The birds were separated into two groups according to age (less than one year old, and more than one year old). Blood samples were taken by heart puncture and the sera were tested for antibodies against Francisella tularensis and three species (serotypes) of Salmonella. Sera from two birds showed antibodies against F. tularensis, but no antibodies against Salmonella were demonstrated. Cultivation of rectal swab samples for species of Salmonella or Yersinia was negative, but Campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni was found in faeces of 88 % of the crows tested.
Elaphostrongylus sp. (Nematoda, Protostrongylidae) and other helminths in faeces of moose (Alces alces (L.) in North Norway
Authors: Halvorsen Odd , Wissler Katharina
Published: October 2024

Faecal samples collected from 103 moose (Alces alces) in Troms and Finnmark counties during the hunting season of September - October 1975 were examined. The faeces of all moose older than one year contained eggs or larvae of gastro-intestinal nematodes. In addition, gastro-intestinal nematodes were found in the faeces of one of the three moose calves examined. Digenean eggs, probably of Paramphistornum cervi, were found in 10 per cent of the faecal samples from moose older than one year. First stage larvae of Elaphostrongylus sp. were found in 26 (25 %) of the faecal samples, but such larvae were not found in the 3 calves. Relatively more moose from Troms county than from Finnmark county had larvae of Elaphostrongylus in their faeces, but the opposite trend was observed for eggs of trematodes. Both the prevalence and mean l.p.g. of Elaphostrongylus larvae were lower in faecal samples from moose than in samples from reindeer occurring in the same area. Small intestines, livers, lungs and brains of a small number of moose collected in Troms during the 1976 hunting season were also examined. Nematodirella alcidis and Trichostrongylus capricola were found in all of the 8 small intestines examined. Dictyocaulus viviparus was found in 1 of 10 lungs examined, but none of 10 livers and 3 brains were infected with helminths.
The Barrelfish Hyperoglyphe perciformis, a centrolophid fish new to the Norwegian fauna
Authors: Pethon Per
Published: October 2024

A specimen of Hyperoglyphe perciformis (Centrolophidae, Perciformes) was taken in a gill net at 4 m depth in the inner Oslofjord (i.e. Holmenfjord, Asker district), SE Norway on 27 July 1983. This is the first record of the species in Norway and the first European one outside the British Isles. Some aspects of morphometrics, with emphasis on the otolith (sagitta) description, and zoogeography are briefly given. It is concluded that this species is unlikely to become established in European waters due to low temperature, and its accidental occurrence here will always be rare.

Published: October 2024

The authors report Ammonicera rota from shell grit from a beach near Bleik on the western coast of Andøy, Vesterålen (69°18'N, 16°08'E). Furthermore two unpublished Norwegian records of the species are mentioned viz. a specimen from Lågøy, Sogn og Fjordane (61°13'N., 05°02'E.) and a specimen from Gjøssøy, Troms county (69°50'N., 18°24'E.). Both Bleik and Gjøssøy are situated about 1000 km north of previous records of the species. In addition a complete list of the molluscs found in the shell grit from Bleik is presented.
Gammarus inaequicauda Stock, 1966 in Norway (Crustacea, Amphipoda)
Authors: Vader Wim , Christophersen Carlos G. , Kempe Jochen , Skadsheim Arnfinn
Published: October 2024

The amphipod Gammarus inaequicauda Stock, 1966, earlier in Norway only known from Sars' vague type-locality 'Moss, Christianiafjord', has been found at several localities in the Oslo fjord and along the Skagerak coast of southern Norway. All Norwegian localities are shallow, densely vegetated protected inshore habitats, with salinities at least periodically below that of the open coast. Common associated crustaceans are the amphipods Corophium insidiosum Crawford, Ericthonius brasiliensis (Dana), Microdeutopus anomalus Rathke, M. gryllotalpa (Dana) and Phtisica marina Slabber, and the isopod Idotea chelipes (Pallas).
Notes on Norwegian marine Amphipoda 7. Amphipod associates of Geodia sponges in western Norway
Authors: Vader Wim
Published: October 2024

The rarely collected amphipod species Amphithopsis longicaudata Boeck (Calliopiidae), Cheirimedon latimanus (Sars) (Lysianassidae), Laothoes meinerti Boeck (Calliopiidae) and Phippsiella similis (Sars) (Stegocephalidae) have been collected in the Bergen area, western Norway, in association with the large and compact sponges of the genus Geodia. The amphipods seem to live on rather than in the sponge hosts.
Notes on Norwegian marine Amphipoda. 8. Amphipods found in association with sponges and tunicates
Authors: Vader Wim
Published: October 2024

Nineteen amphipod species in seven different families have been recorded living on or in Porifera and/or Tunicata in Norwegian waters. Of these Laothoes meinerti, Cheirimedon latimanus and two species of Paramphithoidae are confined to sponges, while Lysianella petalocera, Orchomene spp., Andaniella pectinata and Stenothoe marina have been collected from ascidians, but not from sponges. The most common symbiontic amphipods in Norwegian waters are Leucothoe spinicarpa, Aristias spp. and Perrierella audouiniana; these amphipods, and also Amphithopsis longicaudata, Tritaeta gibbosa and Phippsiella similis have been found both in association with sponges and with ascidians. Little is known about the biology of any of these associations.
Size-dependent survival of juvenile Atlantic salmon Salmo salar and brown trout Salmo trutta from the cold river Beiarelva, northern Norway
Authors: Jensen Arne Johan , Johnsen Bjørn Ove
Published: October 2024

The growth of Atlantic salmon Salmo salar L. and brown trout Salmo trutta L. in the very cold river Beiarelva is so low that not all individuals reach the critical lengths during their first summer to form scales. Hence, after their first winter, each year-class of Atlantic salmon and brown trout can be divided into two length groups, with the smaller fish lacking the first annulus, and the larger fish having this annulus. For this reason length-dependent survival for the rest of their freshwater life could be examined. In brown trout the same survival was found in small and larger parr of all year-classes investigated. In Atlantic salmon the same was found in all year-classes except one. In one year-class the survival was significantly less in the smaller group than in the larger. In 2+ and older fish of both Atlantic salmon and brown trout some of the small individuals had grown as long as most of the individuals having the first annulus, whereas others were still the smallest ones in the year-class. Hence, the smallest yearlings are not always the smallest fish in later years. The very good food conditions for the parr in river Beiarelva may explain the good survival of small individuals.
Wolves Canis lupus in southeastern Norway
Authors: Wabakken Petter , Kvam Tor , Sørensen Ole Jakob
Published: October 2024

From November 1980 to May 1984, the Directorate for Wildlife and Freshwater Fish, Game Research Division has collected 285 reports of wolves Canis lupus in southeastern Norway. 64 reports have been verified as wolf, 69 have been rejected as non-wolf and 152 are unsolved. The main range for wolves in southeastern Norway was situated east of the river Glomma in Hedmark county. Wolves regularly crossed the border between Sweden and Norway, and the population is considered common to the two countries. Although it is difficult to draw any conclusions as to the total number of wolves within the study area, a minimum of three solitary adults was estimated in the first years of the study. Five wolves were the maximum number verified simultaneously in southeastern Norway.

Census and monitoring of bats without targeted trapping: possibilities of conducting and issues of distant diagnostics
Authors:   National Museum of Natural History, NAS of Ukraine (Kyiv, Ukraine), Zagorodniuk Igor
Published: October 2024

Bats are a group whose registration opportunities for monitoring purposes are limited. Areas of work are considered in which it is possible to accumulate information important for monitoring in the absence of "narrow" specialists and means and experience of their registration, including: registration of flight activity, detection of shelters and bats in shelters, collection of data on dead animals (including roadkills and victims of domestic cats), recordings of messages on hotlines for flights of bats in the house, etc. A separate section considers the possibility of identifying genera or species by features available for distant diagnosis, in particular in flight or when the location of animals at roosts is markedly distant from the researcher. Such features include body size and wing proportions, the nature of the flight, habitats and general types of biotopes, and the season. It is noted that in a confined space with a known composition of local fauna communities, census and monitoring can be conducted without verifying the identification of each animal by contact or by photo documentation.

Authors:   Drohobych Ivan Franko State Pedagogical University (Drohobych, Ukraine), Stetsula Nadiia
Published: October 2024

The article provides information on the author's criteria for the selection of habitats in the foothill and mountainous zones of the Carpathians, where the estimation method of the ecology of murids was worked out. Criteria for habitat selection for census algorithms are given, as well as the mechanism of marking and exploitation of trap-lines. A method of working with living and dead animals to identify the obtained material and uncertainly identified material is proposed. Examples of recording the census results of murids in the studied habitats, related to estimation of species composition, levels of quantity of small mammals and the proportion of individual species in local groups are presented.
¿Cosmologías estratificadas en sociedades igualitarias? Estudio a partir del Watunna
Authors: Peláez Guillermo
Published: October 2024

En contraposición al postulado de Marshall Sahlins, según el cual las sociedades consideradas igualitarias, serían en realidad estratificadas, como parecería evidenciarlo el continuum que conforman con entidades espirituales de organización aparentemente jerarquizada, se plantean algunas hipótesis que a partir del estudio del Watunna, pretenden rebatir esta tesis. Se emplean teorías relativamente novedosas que explican el origen de los primeros constructos simbólicos, junto con otras más tradicionales como el estructuralismo antropológico y el existencialismo. Se resalta la importancia de las cosmovisiones indígenas, para actualizar el anhelo por otros modos de vida posibles.

En este trabajo se efectúa un estudio sobre los aspectos singulares involucrados en la conformación de un significado para la existencia en el caso del ser humano cuya vocación profesional es la creación. Un caso que pone de realce un comportamiento extraordinario respecto de las prácticas socialmente más comunes, en las cuales el sujeto tiene como principal interés la adquisición de recursos económicos, un objetivo logrado, entre otras cosas, a costa de ver reducido su margen de libertad y de renunciar a su posibilidad de desenvolverse como un ser original capaz de producir obras igualmente originales.
Marine Solar Power Plant as a Way to Prevent Tropical
Authors: Zhang Jiayi
Published: October 2024

Tropical cyclone is devastating which human has nothing to do when one came onto the land. However, cyclone contains enormous energy, and such energy comes from the sun overall. It is when large region of the ocean was heated by the sun, the warmth makes the air above rise and then the cool air surrounding the region began to sink into this region where the water is heated and the air is rising, and the flow of sinking cool air forms cyclone under the effect of Coriolis force. Therefore, it can prevent the formation of tropical cyclone to apply large floating solar farm in the region where the tropical cyclone frequently forms. The solar power generating devices and system used in such floating solar farm should also be resistant to tropical cyclone therefore be modified.
«Уютная катастрофа» в произведениях японских писателей конца XX — начала XXI веков: ужас и эстетизм апокалипсиса
Authors: А. Борькина
Published: October 2024

В статье рассматривается использование современными японскими писателями мотива «уютной катастрофы», характерного для британской научно-фантастической литературы 50-х годов XX века. В числе его особенностей выделяются ничем не примечательный главный герой; сосредоточенность персонажей, оказавшихся в условиях катастрофы, на тривиальных бытовых вопросах; фокус на «внутреннем пространстве» произведения. Сходные черты наблюдаются и в работах японских писателей, где центральное место занимают бытописание и понятие «персонального пространства». Для японских авторов характерно также изображение эмоционального переживания, часто выраженного категориями традиционной японской эстетики.

The article discusses the usage of “cozy catastrophe” motive, which emerged in British science fiction in 1950s, in the works of contemporary Japanese writers. Its features include an ordinary protagonist; the concentration of the characters, finding themselves in the middle of the catastrophe, on trivial everyday matters; the focus on the “inner space” of the literary work. Similar points can be found in contemporary Japanese fiction, where depiction of ordinary life and “personal space” are considered essential. Japanese authors also pay attention to the emotional experience, which is often expressed through traditional Japanese aesthetic categories.
Trauma Exposure across the News Cycle and the Case for Biotypes of PTSD in War Journalists
Authors:   Fancy Comma, LLC, Azma Sheeva
Published: October 2024

This study examines the pervasive nature of trauma exposure in journalism and its impact across all stages of the news reporting cycle. Drawing from a comprehensive literature review, we highlight the significant gap in research on the neuroscience of journalism and journalist PTSD, despite the high prevalence of PTSD among war correspondents and photojournalists. We present a conceptual framework illustrating how primary and secondary trauma exposures occur during news gathering, reporting, and consumption phases. The study also reviews empirical findings on PTSD's effects on brain structure and function, identifying symptom subclusters and their associated brain regions. This knowledge informs the development of biotypes for more personalized and effective treatment strategies for journalists with PTSD while also emphasizing an urgent need for comprehensive support systems for journalists. This interdisciplinary approach uniting research in journalism, neuroscience, psychology, and organizational management, also advances the understanding of trauma in journalism and its broader implications for news consumption and societal trust in media institutions. Interventions that can support journalists’ mental well-being can also enhance the quality of news reporting and contribute to a more resilient and informed society.
