The measurement and analysis of economic growth dynamics in European countries
Authors: Gligorić-Matić Mirjana , Jovanović-Gavrilović Biljana
Published: August 2022

In this paper, the quantitative aspect of economic growth, i.e. its dynamics, is dealt with. Although it is common to observe the growth rate (intensity) when analyzing the growth dynamics of countries while neglecting growth variability, the fact that covering fluctuations in growth rates has clear motivation and practical significance is presented. On a sample of European countries, including Serbia, growth intensity and stability are analyzed in the paper in order to construct a growth dynamics indicator and an adjusted growth rate based upon these two components. Based upon the two constructed indicators, the position of each country in the sample and in the region (Western and Eastern Europe) which they belong to is analyzed. The detailed analysis and results indicate the importance of this approach when analyzing and comparing the economic growth of individual countries in the medium term and in the long term and when assessing effects on future economic growth and wellbeing.
Sprint running, agility and anaerobic endurance: Standards for the students at the University of Criminal Investigation and Police Studies
Authors: Janković Radivoje , Dopsaj Milivoj
Published: August 2022

Resolving critical incidents can be extremely physically demanding for police officers. Consequently, throughout the selection process, training, and working career, police officers' physical abilities are often assessed with a battery of tests. Research has been conducted with a total sample of 523 students (232 female and 291 male) at the University of Criminal Investigation and Police Studies (UCIPS), with the aim of defining the norms for Linear sprint performance at 20 m (LSP20m), Illinois agility test (IAT) and Shuttle run 300-yard (ShR300y). The homogeneity of the results has been established by the low skewness and kurtosis coefficient, as well as by the values obtained from the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, meaning the data are not significantly statistically different from the normal distribution. Based on the percentile distribution, qualitative and quantitative normative values have been defined for LSP20m, IAT and ShR300y. The achievement levels have been ranked as follows: < P10 (insufficient), P10 to P25 (poor), P25 to P50 (fair), P50 to P75 (good), P75 to P90 (very good) and > P90 (excellent). LSP20m, IAT and ShR300y tests can be used for assessing acceleration, running speed and change-of-direction speed in the anaerobic work regime. Furthermore, they correspond to the first stage of critical incidents resolution - getting to the problem (hence can be viewed as job-related fitness tests). Since population norms have been established, their implementation in the battery of tests for the assessment of UCIPS students' physical abilities in the sense of running tests can be quantitatively applied at the situational system of testing of Specialized Physical Education.
Document serving the conclusion of a contract and conveyance of a right: Interweaving of the Roman and Greek legal traditions in Byzantine private law
Authors: Ilić Tamara
Published: August 2022

The purchase contract, often referred to as sale and purchase (prᾶsis caὶ ἀgorasίa) as an illustration of its twofold nature derived from the Roman legal tradition, or simply as sale (prᾶsis), is suitable for analyzing different legal issues. In light of typical Byzantine document named pratήrion ἔggraphon, we aim to define the nature of purchase contract in this medieval legal system. Diplomatic formulae contain data about consensus of contractual parties, as well as the fact that a document was drafted "for security", which raises the question of solemnity of this contract. The role the deed has is also discussed in the paper, as in some cases it is uncertain whether the composition and delivery of the document also implied the passing of title. Applied methodological approach takes into account the linguistic interpretation of documentary clauses and legal provisions in codes, and relies on comparative-historical method.
The right to sexual and reproductive health of LGBTIQ persons and the challenges of biomedical assisted reproduction
Authors: Simić Jelena
Published: August 2022

The mass application of modern medical biotechnology (BAF) and its expansion on a global level have brought numerous challenges at the individual and social level, and the very goal of reproductive technologies has exceeded the treatment of infertility. For LGBTIQ people, the use of BAF in the first place is a matter of reproductive justice that should provide everyone, without distinction, economic, social and political power and resources to make healthy decisions about their bodies, sexuality and reproduction for themselves, their families and their union. The reality, however, is that access to BAF is enjoyed by a small privileged group of people, and many medically infertile persons do not seek BAF because of the high cost of such treatment. As a result, the development of biomedical technology is increasingly becoming a subject of reconsideration and controversy, and less and less an achievement that supports life and health. In this paper, the author discusses when and why access to BAF became a matter of the LGBTIQ rights and whether access to BAF can really be equal for all, given its costs? Finally, the author refers to BAF in terms of domestic legislation and concludes the paper with a call for changes to the legal solution that prohibits the use of BAF for LGBTIQ individuals and couples in Serbia.
Human rights of foreigners refused entry and detained at airport transit zones: From Novak Đoković saga to the arbitrary detention of H.G.D.
Authors: Kovačević Nikola
Published: August 2022

The right to liberty and security of persons, as well as individual's absolute right not to be ill-treated or sent to the territory of the State where one would face such risk, represent a cornerstone of refugee and migrant protection at all border crossings. However, regardless of the migration status of a foreigner arriving at the border control posts, an entire scope of human rights protects an individual from border police officers who exercise a State's sovereignty in controlling entry, stay and expulsion from its territory. This undisputable right of the State is not an absolute one, and it has to be performed in line with the international human rights law, but also international refugee law. Inspired by the case of Novak Đoković, this paper deals with the legal status of foreigners who have been refused entry and detained at the airport transit zones. The practice at Belgrade airport will serve as a case study. The status of foreigners at the transit zone of the Nikola Tesla airport will be examined from the perspective of the right to liberty and security and the standards which arose from the practice of the European Court of Human Rights.
Kinesthetic and visual imagery in young adults with chronic neck pain
Authors: Ozlem Ozcan , Karaali Hayriye
Published: August 2022

Background: Young adults complain of neck pain almost every year. In recent years the ability of motor imagery (kinesthetic and visual imagery) in many musculoskeletal system problems other than neck pain in young adults has been investigated in the literature. The Cross-Sectional study aimed to question motor imagery ability in young adults with chronic neck pain. Methods: Two groups were included in the study: the chronic neck pain group (n = 83) and the control group (n = 91). Motor imagery ability of both groups was evaluated with Movement Imagery Questionnaire-3. Additionally, in the chronic neck pain group, pain was evaluated with the Short Form-McGill Pain Questionnaire, disability was evaluated with the Neck Disability Index, and kinesiophobia was evaluated with Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia. Conclusions: Internal visual imagery and kinesthetic imagery were significantly different between chronic neck pain and control groups. There was a negative linear relationship between disability and internal visual imagery, external visual imagery, and kinesthetic imagery. Motor imagery ability is reduced in young adults with chronic neck pain. In addition, as the severity of disability increases, the motor imagery ability decreases. Therefore, it is considered appropriate to include a motor imagery training program when treating chronic neck pain in the future.
Management of neglected vicious cat bite in a child: A case report
Authors: Tarmalinggam Shangeetha , Raja Lakshmy , Mohd Asihin , Abdul Ghani
Published: August 2022

Introduction: Cat bites make up 10% of all animal bites and have a high incidence of infection. Cat bites can cause severe deep bacterial infection in closed spaces such as tendon sheath, joints, and bones due to their sharp teeth. Generally, cat bite wound infections are reported at 30%-60%, which is double compared to rat or dog bites. However, cat bites are easily misjudged due to their minimal appearance of tissue injury. Case Report: We hereby present a case of a neglected cat bite wound complicated with infection in a healthy child. The wound was debrided in the operation theatre, and a ten-day course of antibiotics was completed. No further infection was noted and the child was discharged home well. Conclusion: There is no exact algorithm of treatment for cat bites. However, cat bites are nasty wounds that should be treated early and aggressively. Empirical oral or intravenous antibiotics should be started immediately, and adequate surgical debridement is indicated to provide a better outcome as there are no standardized protocols for initial management.

Authors: Golomeova Longurova , Jordeva Sonja , Zhezhova Silvana , Dimitrijeva Kuzmanoska , Mojsov Kiro , Andronikov Darko
Published: August 2022

The aim of this research was to study the effect of fabric structure parameters on dimensional stability of a woven 100% cotton fabric after five cycles of domestic washing. Ten cotton fabrics with different structure parameters (yarn density, linear yarn density, cover factor, weave pattern) were exposed to five cycles of a domestic washing process and dried hung in line position. The dimensional changes of fabrics were measured after each washing and drying cycle and then expressed as a percentage of the initial dimensions. The experimental results have shown that shrinkage occurs in all ten fabrics, and it is higher in warp than in weft direction. Statistical analysis was used to identify the relationships between fabric shrinkage and fabric structure parameters. The results have shown that fabric shrinkage is in linear correlation with the cover factor and the weave factor.

Authors: Breiter Dennis , Siegfried Patrick
Published: August 2022

The following paper aims to find out consumers' expectations and attitudes towards the innovation "Metaverse". It will also be explored which role the Meta Group plays in mass adaption and how the company influences consumers' possible use and opinion on the project. These results are connected to the fashion industry, further exploring new types of products and a possible distribution channel. Therefore, this study is useful to developers of Metaverses and AR/VR products, the Meta Group, and fashion companies. The main results of this research are: Meta and the Metaverse are seen as critical, the required technology has not yet reached mainstream use, but interest is present. Digital fashion had participants divided, some not willing to spend any money and some already having spent over 100€, although the Metaverse's influence on future purchases is little. The Metaverse could serve as a new distribution channel for clothing products. To conduct this research Google Forms was used. The research is classified as survey-based. The biggest limitation is the nonexistence of the Metaverse as envisioned by Meta, making it hard for participants to answer some of the questions asked.

Background: Diffuse alopecia in females is a common complaint and still a major challenge in the practice of dermatology. Female androgenetic alopecia (FAGA), chronictelogen effluvium (CTE), and diffuse alopecia areata(AA) are its three main causes for diffuse hair loss. It is often difficult one from the other and clinical data, physical examination, biochemical tests, dermoscopy, and some cases biopsy may be needed for a definitive diagnosis.In this study, scalp dermoscopy as a main tool used to differentiate between different causes of hair loss and definitive role of dermoscopy in the treatment follow up. Objectives: Our aim is to evaluate and determine dermoscopic findings of different causes of diffuse alopecia that can be used as the clinical indicator of the disease. Another aim is to study the correlation of haemoglobin, S. ferritin and TSH levels in different causes of diffuse alopecia in females. Methods: Total50 patients were enrolled for this prospective study and was conducted for a period of 6 months. Detailed history, Clinical examination, Dermoscopic evaluation, complete hemogam, S. ferritin and Thyroid profile was done. Results: Most of them (66%) were between age group 18 to 30. Out of total cases 31 cases were TE, 9 cases were FAGA, 7 cases of diffuse Alopecia. Dermoscopic findings seen were yellow dots in 41 patients, thinning of hair in 33 patients, vellus hairs in 14 patients, peripilar sign in 12 patients, hair diameter diversity more than 20 % (HDD) in 8 patients, exclamation mark hair in 7 patients, honey comb pigment pattern and loss of follicles in 3 patients each. Conclusion: In TE cases most common dermoscopic findings were Yellow Dots, In FPHL most common and specific finding was HDD > 20%. A thorough dermascopic evaluation and follow up is must for different patterns of hair loss among females.

La memoria intergeneracional de la Guerra de España y el franquismo en Alfons Cervera
Authors: Carrasquer Vidal Luna
Published: August 2022

La recuperación de la memoria de la Guerra de España y el franquismo es el eje central de la obra del escritor valenciano Alfons Cervera. El llamado “ciclo de la memoria”, constituido por cinco novelas recogidas en el volumen Las voces fugitivas (2013), evoca las historias y testimonios de los vecinos del pueblo ficticio Los Yesares, principalmente durante la guerra y la inmediata posguerra. En las novelas se perciben distintas formas de abordar la memoria que hacen que haya o no transmisión del pasado reciente entre distintas generaciones. El presente artículo indaga en la representación temática y formal de la memoria intergeneracional en "El color del crepúsculo" (1995), "La noche inmóvil" (1999) y "Aquel invierno" (2005). Utilizando tanto el concepto amplio de “posmemoria” (Hirsch) como el concepto de “memoria afiliativa” (Faber), más bien centrado en el contexto español, se analiza cómo estas definiciones teóricas son representadas en las novelas a través de motivos como el recuerdo, el olvido, la violencia y el miedo. Así, combinando las dos nociones teóricas, se desarrolla un marco teórico que permite revelar la dinámica intergeneracional de la memoria. Asimismo, se demuestra cómo las tres novelas representan estas dinámicas memorísticas entre distintas generaciones.
Nuevas olas. Diagramas del mar en la poesía argentina reciente
Authors: Moscardi Matías
Published: August 2022

En el presente artículo analizo como punto de partida dos poemas: “Una oportunidad”, de Fabián Casas, y “Qué es el mar”, de Sergio Raimondi. Ambos presentan factores en común: hacen foco en una definición del mar; reconocen el tema del mar como algo trillado, gastado o excesivamente concurrido en la tradición poética; proponen, entonces, una definición propia; y, por último, ambos poemas articulan cierto carácter de clausura de la serie, que habilitaba la pregunta sobre cómo escribir otro poema más sobre el mar que no sea una simple repetición de lo ya dicho. Metodológicamente, el concepto deleuziano de cliché y su correspondiente idea de diagrama sirven como punto de partida teórico para repensar esos términos en el terreno de la poesía y modificar la lógica de sus alcances. Para esto, confeccionamos un breve corpus de poesía contemporánea argentina que podría leerse como respuesta a esa problemática de la clausura, como un reinicio o recomienzo de la serie.
Percepción de las variedades geográficas del español por parte de los estudiantes universitarios taiwaneses
Authors: Mendoza Puertas Jorge Daniel
Published: August 2022

El presente estudio se adentra en la percepción de la lengua española y sus variedades geográficas por parte de los estudiantes universitarios de español como lengua extranjera. Para este estudio se realizó una encuesta que se distribuyó en distintas universidades taiwanesas durante el segundo semestre del curso 2020-2021 y el primer semestre del curso 2021-2022. La encuesta constaba de dos partes, si bien en este texto presentamos únicamente los resultados obtenidos en la primera parte de esta, donde se empleaban técnicas directas de recolección de datos. Los resultados obtenidos revelan que los estudiantes de ELE en Taiwán poseen una clara conciencia de la variación espacial de nuestra lengua, de la cohesión interna del español, así como de la existencia de distintas normas cultas. No obstante, no puede afirmarse que su visión del español sea la de una lengua policéntrica en sentido estricto, ya que el español europeo centro- norteño se percibe como claro modelo de corrección frente a otras variedades. Por otro lado, las preferencias de los aprendientes en relación con las distintas variedades geográficas indican una clara inclinación hacia el castellano en detrimento del resto. Las variedades americanas reflejaron en este apartado mayores puntuaciones negativas. Todo esto parece apuntar hacia una percepción del español como una lengua policéntrica piramidal, en la que se identifican y respetan distintas normas cultas, pero a una de ellas se le reconoce un mayor peso que al resto y se la considera modelo de prestigio.
STRATEGIES USED IN TRANSLATING THE FANTASTIC EVENTS IN VENUS DARI KOTA ILLE
Authors: Rizkya Ria , Budiman Arif
Published: August 2022

The fantastic (le fantastique) is a literary genre that originated from France, which has a specific characteristic of an ambiguous event that cannot be found in other literary works from other countries that introduce similar genres. This study discusses the translation strategies used to translate these fantastic events in Venus dari Kota Ille, the Indonesian translation version of the fantastic story of La Vénus d'Ille by Mérimée (1837). The objective of this research is to see what strategies the translator use in translating the fantastic events that are present in the French version that contained uncanny elements and whether these elements are preserved in the Indonesian translation. By implementing the theory of translation techniques by Molina & Albir (2002), six translation strategies are found in Venus dari Kota Ille, namely established equivalent, literal translation, modulation, calque, compensation, and amplification. These translation strategies are used to maintain the uncanny element of supernatural creatures in the characteristics of a French fantastic story. In addition, the translator also creates a more intensive sinister element in the target text (TT) by using compensation. These results show that although there are differences in the characteristics of French and Indonesian literary works, these characteristics can still be maintained within the translation. However, this does not guarantee that the translator will not give any additions to the translation to emphasize the message in the TT.KEYWORDS: translation strategies, French fantastic story, La Vénus d’Ille
NGANJUK BRONZE STATUES (ARCA) ANALYSIS BASED ON THE CONCEPT OF VAJRADHATU MANDALA IN SHINGON BUDDHISM
Authors: Suyono Seno Joko
Published: August 2022

ABSTRACTThis paper wants to show the relationship between bronze statues and mandala. The object of the research is 23 small bronze statues of Nganjuk owned by the National Museum. These statues were once part of a statues collection found in the rice fields of Candi Lor, Nganjuk in 1913. Candi Lor is a temple built by Mpu Sindok. This paper presumes that these bronze statues of Nganjuk are statues that were placed on the altar during the Mpu Sindok era for ritual purposes. This paper argues that the Nganjuk bronze statues represent a certain type of mandala. The paper shows that the mandala of the statues is the Vajradhatu Mandala. For this purpose, this study is using the Vajradhatu Mandala concept of Shingon Buddhism. F.D.K Bosch in an article in 1929 mentioned the possibility of reading the Nganjuk statues based on the Shingon mandala, but he wrote about it briefly. Shingon Buddhism is a sect of Buddhism in Japan, which has been known since the 9th century to date using the Vajradhatu Mandala. Shingon founder, Kukai, studied the concept of the mandala in China. Recent studies show the concept of Vajradhatu Mandala was not only brought by Kukai to Japan but also spread to Southeast Asia, although it was later replaced by other types of mandalas.The Vajradhatu Mandala is a mandala centered on Vairocana. There is a core layer and an outer layer in the Shingon concept in the Vajradhatu Mandala. The core layer consists of 37 main pantheons and the outer layer is a layer that contains protective deities. The last layer of this outer layer is called Trailokyavijaya that consists of the incarnations of Vajrapani and several deities that have krodha’s expression. The objective of this paper is to show that the remaining Nganjuk statues owned by the National Museum have these elements: Vairocana, the Four Tathagatas, and also Trailokyavijaya.KEYWORDS: Nganjuk Bronze Statues, Vairocana, Vajradhatu Mandala, Shingon Buddhism

Published: August 2022

Covid-19 is one of the most disturbing infections that has rattled the world in recent history. This flu affected nearly all the countries of the world with different degrees of medical, scientific, social and scholarly attentions. The humanities are not left out from the perspective of language and communication during the pandemic. In the light of the above, this paper undertakes a multimodal semiotic analysis of Covid-19 memes in the Nigerian context with a view to showing how the visual and language complement each other in communicating aspects of Nigerian socio-political realities during the pandemic. Among the images circulated through the Whatsapp medium, ten were selected for this study and Kress and van Leeuween’s (2006) multimodal theory was adopted as our theoretical framework. The findings revealed that language and visual images effectively complement each other as viewers are made to gain easy and quick access to the messages being communicated with a visual understanding of the realities on ground.KEYWORDS: covid-19 pandemic, multimodality, language, semiotics, memes, communication

Published: August 2022

Youth language is a social dialect language variation that is used by certain age group, has linguistic processes such as significant borrowing, and morphological and semantic manipulation. In Japanese, youth language is called wakamono kotoba (wakamono 'youth', kotoba 'word', 'language'). There seems to be a new phenomenon di Japanese youth language, same word that have contrary meanings. Based on initial observation, in Japanese youth language, the word pien is a word that is used to describe ‘crying’. To approve the word pien has contrary meanings, this study explore the use of pien as a popular word among Japanese young people these days. How is the using of the word pien which has contrary meanings? In structure perspective, does the word pien come in the beginning of utterance or in the end of utterance. According to the data collected from Twitter, there are 2,474 utterances have the word pien in them. This research used the corpus method, with the help of Netlytic, a program that can automatically collect various data from social media. The result shows that the word pien can be used for 'the expression of sadness' and 'the expression of happiness', and is added to increase the emotive intensity of the utterance. For example, kyō gakkō okureta pien ‘I was late for school today pien’, Takahashi-kun yasashii pien ‘Takahashi is so kind pien’. The result also shows that the word pien is more often used at the end of an utterance after (i) verbs, (ii) final particles, (iii) nouns, (iv) adjectives, and (v) copula.KEYWORDS: youth language, pien, meaning, using, Japanese

The research on civilization in Indonesia has been conducted since 1800s. Around 1970s, there was theory regarding Out of Africa stating that ancient human was from Africa then spread to all over places in the world. Besides, around 1980s there was opinion theory regarding Out of Taiwan which stated that modern human culture spread from Taiwan to South East Asia. Different research findings then are considered anomaly and barely accepted as science. Revolution could occur when the new different evidences from previous science are found. The findings of archaeology from last ten years in Indonesia have some potential to trigger scientific revolution.KEYWORDS: archaeology, prehistory, civilization, scientific, revolution
Bone Morphology as a Determinative Risk Factor for Type of Ankle Fracture
Authors: Batıbay Sefa Giray , Bayram Serkan , Polat Ömer
Published: August 2022

Background: We investigated the relationship between ankle radiographic bone morphology and observed fracture type.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients who had visited the emergency department with ankle injuries between June 1, 2012, and July 31, 2018. Patients were treated with open reduction and internal fixation. Patients were grouped by fracture pattern. Group 1 consisted of isolated lateral malleolar fractures, and group 2 comprised bimalleolar fractures. Group 1 was further divided into subgroups A and B based on classification as Weber type B and C fractures, respectively. Four radiographic parameters were measured postoperatively on a standing whole-leg anteroposterior view of the ankle: talocrural angle (TCA), medial malleolar relative length (MMRL), lateral malleolar relative length (LMRL), and distance between the talar dome and distal fibula.

Results: One hundred seventeen patients were included in group 1-A, 89 in group 1-B, and 168 in group 2. The TCA and MMRL were significantly larger in group 2 than in group 1. Lateral to medial malleolar length ratio was also significantly different between the groups. However, there were no significant differences between the groups in terms of LMRL and the distance between the distal fibula tip and talar process. Between subgroups 1-A and 1-B, LMRL (P = .402) and MMRL (P = .592) values were not significantly different. However, there was a significant difference between groups in TCA and the distance between the distal fibula tip and talar process.

Conclusions: The TCA, MMRL, and lateral malleolar length to medial malleolar length ratio were significantly higher in patients with bimalleolar fracture than in patients with isolated lateral malleolar fractures.
Late-Diagnosed Dislocation of the Proximal Interphalangeal Joint of the Fifth Toe in a 7-Year-Old Boy: A Case Report
Authors: Koksal Alper , Abul Kadir- , Cimen Osman
Published: August 2022

Dislocation of the proximal interphalangeal joint of the fifth toe is an uncommon injury. When it is diagnosed in the acute phase, closed reduction is commonly an adequate treatment option. We describe a rare case of a 7-year-old patient who presented with late-diagnosed isolated dislocation of the proximal interphalangeal joint of the fifth toe. Although there are a few reported cases of late-diagnosis combined fracture-dislocation of the toes in both adult and pediatric age groups in the literature, belatedly diagnosed dislocation of the fifth toe without accompanying fracture in the pediatric population, to our knowledge, has not yet been reported. This patient achieved good clinical outcomes after treatment via open reduction and internal fixation.
Stereotyped behavioral maturation and rhythmic quiescence in C. elegans embryos
Authors: Ardiel Evan L , Lauziere Andrew , Xu Stephen , Harvey Brandon J , Christensen Ryan Patrick , Nurrish Stephen , Kaplan Joshua M , Shroff Hari
Published: August 2022

Systematic analysis of rich behavioral recordings is being used to uncover how circuits encode complex behaviors. Here, we apply this approach to embryos. What are the first embryonic behaviors and how do they evolve as early neurodevelopment ensues? To address these questions, we present a systematic description of behavioral maturation for Caenorhabditis elegans embryos. Posture libraries were built using a genetically encoded motion capture suit imaged with light-sheet microscopy and annotated using custom tracking software. Analysis of cell trajectories, postures, and behavioral motifs revealed a stereotyped developmental progression. Early movement is dominated by flipping between dorsal and ventral coiling, which gradually slows into a period of reduced motility. Late-stage embryos exhibit sinusoidal waves of dorsoventral bends, prolonged bouts of directed motion, and a rhythmic pattern of pausing, which we designate slow wave twitch (SWT). Synaptic transmission is required for late-stage motion but not for early flipping nor the intervening inactive phase. A high-throughput behavioral assay and calcium imaging revealed that SWT is elicited by the rhythmic activity of a quiescence-promoting neuron (RIS). Similar periodic quiescent states are seen prenatally in diverse animals and may play an important role in promoting normal developmental outcomes.

Cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinases (PKGs) are key mediators of the nitric oxide/cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) signaling pathway that regulates biological functions as diverse as smooth muscle contraction, cardiac function, and axon guidance. Understanding how cGMP differentially triggers mammalian PKG isoforms could lead to new therapeutics that inhibit or activate PKGs, complementing drugs that target nitric oxide synthases and cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases in this signaling axis. Alternate splicing of PRKG1 transcripts confers distinct leucine zippers, linkers, and auto-inhibitory (AI) pseudo-substrate sequences to PKG Iα and Iβ that result in isoform-specific activation properties, but the mechanism of enzyme auto-inhibition and its alleviation by cGMP is not well understood. Here, we present a crystal structure of PKG Iβ in which the AI sequence and the cyclic nucleotide-binding (CNB) domains are bound to the catalytic domain, providing a snapshot of the auto-inhibited state. Specific contacts between the PKG Iβ AI sequence and the enzyme active site help explain isoform-specific activation constants and the effects of phosphorylation in the linker. We also present a crystal structure of a PKG I CNB domain with an activating mutation linked to Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms and Dissections. Similarity of this structure to wildtype cGMP-bound domains and differences with the auto-inhibited enzyme provide a mechanistic basis for constitutive activation. We show that PKG Iβ auto-inhibition is mediated by contacts within each monomer of the native full-length dimeric protein, and using the available structural and biochemical data we develop a model for the regulation and cooperative activation of PKGs.

The feeling of loneliness, the topicality of which is gradually increasing in time, requires more and more different approaches for understanding it. Fiction is one of the possible ways to untangle this feeling in a versatile, poetic manner. The writer Milan Kundera in his novel “The Unbearable Lightness of Being”, Bohumil Hrabal in his story “Too Loud a Solitude”, and Mati Unt in his novel “Autumn Ball” have discussed loneliness from different angles, which, put together, enable us to build up a broad picture of this controversial feeling. As the research method, close reading and text analysis were used. The article introduces the psychological concept of loneliness and its types and analyses the literary works based on American philosopher Rubin Gotesky’s classification of loneliness. The article aims to find out what types of loneliness are discussed in the books and in what way they are manifested. All the books analysed in the article present situations and trains of thoughts in which the presence of loneliness is clearly perceivable. However, the border between the different types of loneliness is somewhat blurred. All these works include situations in which both forced and existential loneliness are present. There are also cases of intertwining physical and voluntary loneliness, but these are not the only combinations. Kundera’s “The Unbearable Lightness of Being” presents the greatest number of philosophical ideas related to loneliness; in Hrabal’s story “Too Loud a Solitude” successive abandonments in human relationships can clearly be noticed, and in Unt’s “Autumn Ball” the urban space bursting with existential loneliness enforces itself at the very beginning, casting a shadow on all the characters and their performance. Each of these works refers to loneliness both in a positive and negative key and the characters are often controversial.
Kohapärimuse roll keskkonnakonflikti diskursuses: Paluküla hiiemäe juhtum
Authors:   Estonian Folklore Archives, Estonian Literary Museum, Estonia, Päll Lona

This article is a critical study of how local place-related narratives, i.e., place-lore, is integrated into environmental discussions. Place-lore reflects the cultural and ecological dimensions of collective environmental experience; for example, what kind of species grow in a specific place, what are the characteristics of the landscape, what kind of activities and usages certain environment allows, etc. Place-lore is culturally and ecologically highly contextual and refers to the environment it represents. However, when including these kinds of contextual and environmental-related narratives in conflict communication, the narratives may become disconnected or decontextualised from the environment represented. Combining the frameworks of ecosemiotics, environmental communication studies, and place-lore research, the article explores how a new storytelling context, ideological choices, and the logic of conflict communication influence the interpretation of place-lore. The theory is applied to an empirical examination of the public discussion of Paluküla sacred hill in central Estonia. The conflict surrounding the plan to build a ski resort near Paluküla sacred hill is one of the longest place-centred environmental conflicts in contemporary Estonia. A larger opposition broke out in 2004 and discussions are still ongoing. Moreover, Paluküla is a good model conflict for studying the role of place-lore in similar conflicts. Since the beginning of the conflict, it has been characteristic of the debate to involve references to and discussions of folklore, and also to question, compare, and use specific place-related vernacular knowledge and narratives as part of the argumentation. Tracking references to the previous place-lore about Paluküla Hill in the media coverage of the conflict allows a demonstration of how the contextuality and referentiality towards an extra-narrative environment that are originally present in place-lore are often overlooked or ignored in conflict discourse. When part of practices, activities, or ways of relating with the place are ignored or diminished in the discussion, the possible semiotic relationships with the environment also become neglected. This, in turn, leads to socially and ecologically disconnected discussion.
La “ruptura” como una suerte de posmodernidad: el pensamiento crítico de Octavio Paz entre 1950 y 1967
Authors:   Instituto de Investigaciones Estéticas-UNAM, Montero Fayad Daniel Enrique
Published: August 2022

El presente texto señala algunas de las categorías fundamentales de la crítica de arte de Octavio Paz entre 1950 y 1967 como aparición y poesía, para demostrar que la noción de “ruptura” se retoma en la década de los sesenta para realizar un cuestionamiento profundo a la modernidad mexicana, sugiriendo una teoría de la posmodernidad y de la neovanguardia local. Además del texto llamado “Tamayo en la pintura mexicana” (1950), se hará referencia a otros cinco ensayos escritos en la década del sesenta, en los que se puede encontrar un programa y una conceptualización de su crítica, sustentada en lecturas que realiza de Kant, Heidegger y del estructuralismo, entre otros, cuya influencia es evidente. Además, se señalará que la crítica de arte de Paz es constitutiva de su pensamiento general.

Introduction: The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends exclusive breast feeding for six months, and thereafter until two years. Breast milk is the ideal food for the new born babies. It provides them with adequate nutrition, promotes growth and prevents the occurrence of infectious diseases. A timely intervention to mothers helps in improving the effectiveness of breast feeding. LATCH score assessment tool has been used in developed countries to identify mothers who need breastfeeding support to sustain lactation. Aim: To study the efficacy of counselling new mothers in improving the LATCH score and successful breastfeeding. Materials and Methods: This hospital-based prospective cohort study was carried out in the Department of Paediatrics at a tertiary care hospital Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College, Acharya Vinoba Bhave Rural Hospital, Sawangi Meghe, Wardha, Maharashtra, India. In total 160 mother-infant dyads born between July 2020 and January 2021, born of both vaginal and caesarean delivery, with gestational age ≥37 weeks and singleton births were included in the study. Preintervention data on LATCH score was collected immediately postpartum. These postpartum mothers were given breastfeeding education in the form of video assisted teaching as an intervention. Postintervention data was collected at six weeks postpartum. Data entry was done in MS excel and analysed in Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) software. Results: The mean age of the mothers was 26.74±4.20 years. Overall 84 (52.50%) of mothers had completed their higher secondary education, majority 54 (33.75%) of the mothers belonged to lower middle class, 102 (63.75%) were multigravida, while 112 (70%) belonged to a joint family. The difference between preintervention mean LATCH score (7.31±0.84) and postintervention mean LATCH score (8.9±0.73) was found to be statistically significant (p<0.05). Conclusion: The LATCH score is a simple, easy, economical tool which can be easily used by the health workers as a breastfeeding assessment tool. Intervention using video assisted teaching helped in the better understanding of the mothers regarding breastfeeding.

Cystoisospora belli (C. belli) is an opportunistic protozoal parasite. It is prevalent in tropical and subtropical areas of the world. It is frequently encountered in immunocompromised patients with Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and other immunodeficiency illnesses. Infection usually occurs due to faecal contamination of food and water. Chronic severe watery diarrhoea occurs in C. belli infected patients. C. belli is diagnosed by demonstration of characteristic oocyst in the stool sample. The common methods used for stool examination are wet saline mount, iodine mount, and modified acid fast staining. Although C. belli is distributed worldwide and more prevalent in developing countries but not much reported from India. Most of the cases reported from India are in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-positive patients and not many cases reported in renal transplant cases. Here, a case of 27-year old male post renal transplant patient having severe diarrhoea has been presented. Patient complaining of watery diarrhoea off and on for last one month for which he had taken some medicine from his local level but not got relieved. The patient was negative for HIV and was on immunosuppressive drugs. Stool sample of the patient examined by direct wet mount, iodine mount and acid fast staining. On microscopy characteristic oocysts of C. belli were detected. The patient was given combination treatment to which he responded well.
